Rebel News Podcast - DAILY ｜ Freeland, fascists and what did Bayer's pharma division boss say about gene therapy？

00:00:00.000 Oh, hi, everybody.

00:00:16.000 Ezra Levant here.

00:00:16.660 How you doing?

00:00:17.760 It's great to be back here.

00:00:18.860 You know, I haven't done live streams in a long time.

00:00:22.040 I've been so busy doing stuff, but it's great to get back in this chair at least just once

00:00:25.860 a week.

00:00:26.120 I mean, the news, there couldn't be more of it.

00:00:29.080 Hey, holy mackerel. 0.99

00:00:32.900 There's so much I want to get through, but one of the reasons I've been busy is because

00:00:35.940 Rebel News has grown, not just because of the trucker convoy, which was seriously the

00:00:41.340 largest media story we've ever covered.

00:00:46.500 You know, how do you measure traffic?

00:00:49.300 Well, you could see how many people go read your YouTube videos or watch your YouTube videos

00:00:55.120 or read your stories, social media impressions, things like that.

00:00:58.440 I tried to tabulate it all up for the month of February, and my estimate, my rough calculations

00:01:05.460 were 400 million impressions, which I think is how many views we would get in an entire

00:01:13.760 year normally.

00:01:16.700 We had a year's worth of traffic in a month, and Rebel News has grown.

00:01:22.540 In fact, Olivia, can you go to rebelnews.com slash careers?

00:01:27.320 Because we are not done growing yet.

00:01:29.700 We have, I think, A10 said 53 or 54 people now.

00:01:33.920 And we are looking to hire seven more positions.

00:01:39.560 And I know you want to talk about the news.

00:01:40.880 I get it.

00:01:41.380 You want to talk about the news.

00:01:42.960 But I just want to invite you to join our team first.

00:01:48.280 Can I just whip through some of these?

00:01:51.500 Some of them are technical.

00:01:52.760 Some of them are not.

00:01:53.480 Some of them are in Toronto or Edmonton or Ottawa.

00:01:57.760 Some can be anywhere.

00:01:59.080 So let's just whip through them.

00:02:00.580 At the very top there, we're hiring a technical director.

00:02:02.840 We may have a candidate internally.

00:02:05.820 That's someone who has some particular skills at operating a piece of hardware called a TriCaster.

00:02:11.680 It's just sort of how we produce our TV shows.

00:02:14.320 So that's a fun media job where you would basically work on the shows and the live streams.

00:02:20.420 That's probably the most technical of all the positions.

00:02:24.200 Can you go back to the larger list?

00:02:28.460 Yeah, just click back or whatever.

00:02:32.620 And we've got, oh, here's a good one.

00:02:35.120 Alberta legislature reporter.

00:02:37.540 We have to hire someone in Edmonton to cover the Alberta legislature and Alberta provincial politics.

00:02:45.280 So that's a position for someone who would have to be in northern Alberta.

00:02:50.420 Go back.

00:02:50.880 Let's just skim through them.

00:02:52.080 We don't need to open them all up, actually.

00:02:55.020 The next one is, what do we have the next one there?

00:02:58.640 I just want to whip through them so you don't even have to open them all up.

00:03:02.900 I know, for example, we are hiring video editors.

00:03:08.300 We're hiring an in-house litigator.

00:03:10.260 That's a fancy way of saying a free speech lawyer.

00:03:13.140 We're hiring a China affairs reporter.

00:03:15.220 Honestly, we've been looking for that position for about a year.

00:03:18.060 And we're hiring interns all the time.

00:03:21.160 Anyhow, all together, and we've got the Ottawa-based reporter.

00:03:23.580 All together, we've got seven different jobs.

00:03:27.100 So I would like to invite you to seriously consider joining us because we, you know,

00:03:34.940 sometimes people come to us in a certain corporate kind of way.

00:03:37.780 But a lot of the talent that joins us, joins us, they're viewers, they're followers of ours.

00:03:45.200 And then they just say, you know, it's like that old commercial.

00:03:50.160 I liked it so much, I bought the company.

00:03:51.800 You know, I liked Rebel News so much, I joined the company.

00:03:55.220 And let me invite you to do that.

00:03:57.020 So thank you for letting me talk about housekeeping matters like that.

00:04:00.140 But there is so much news out there, it's unbelievable.

00:04:05.700 I want to start by talking about the truckers.

00:04:08.240 And I know that most of the truckers have sort of left Ottawa.

00:04:12.480 Although Danny Balford, the ex-RCMP officer who quit because he didn't want to get jabbed.

00:04:19.140 I understand he's going back next week.

00:04:21.240 But I want to tell you a few things that are on my mind about the truckers.

00:04:28.780 The first is that they've been lied about.

00:04:34.460 I think you probably know that.

00:04:35.960 But the liars came from the government. 0.56

00:04:37.780 The lying came from inside the building. 0.99

00:04:39.580 The people who keep warning you about misinformation and fake news, those liberals, they were the liars. 0.80

00:04:47.180 Can we call it the first stat?

00:04:51.240 Yeah, the Black Locks one.

00:04:54.820 Go Fund Me.

00:04:57.160 Yeah, thanks very much.

00:05:01.580 So Go Fund Me was the fundraising engine that crowdfunded $10 million for the truckers

00:05:07.900 until they were pressured by the liberals to cancel it.

00:05:11.760 Well, Go Fund Me testified.

00:05:14.440 They had executives testify before the Canadian Parliament yesterday.

00:05:19.720 Did you know that?

00:05:21.240 And one of the things they said was that, no, it was not big American interests that were manipulating Canada.

00:05:30.960 In fact, around 90% of the donations and 90% of the donors were Canadians.

00:05:37.720 It is simply a lie, as Trudeau and Mark Mendocino and Christy Freeland said, to say that they were American meddlers.

00:05:49.700 The average gift was small.

00:05:53.100 Nine out of the 10 givers were Canadian.

00:05:55.340 Justin Trudeau, they lied about the truckers in order to get emergency powers.

00:06:09.680 They lied.

00:06:10.760 Are you surprised?

00:06:12.680 The second piece of news we've heard in the last week is about something called Fintrack.

00:06:21.240 I don't know if you've ever heard about Fintrack.

00:06:22.640 It's a police surveillance of financial transactions.

00:06:29.060 It's allegedly to stop terrorists and drug dealers and other criminals from money laundering.

00:06:36.900 You've probably heard of certain rules.

00:06:38.920 For example, if you move more than $10,000 or something, your bank has to report that.

00:06:44.040 I think that's the latest stat.

00:06:46.080 But the idea is to try and trace and capture illegal funds.

00:06:52.020 And obviously, there is some role for that in the world.

00:06:54.700 We don't want drug dealers or criminals or kidnapping or theft.

00:06:59.720 But one of the things that Christy Freeland and David Lamedi and Justin Trudeau all said was that they were going to scrutinize this crowdfunding through the lens of terrorist fundraising.

00:07:12.040 And that chilled a lot of people because about 100,000 Canadians said, OK, I'll chip into the truckers.

00:07:19.760 20 bucks, 50 bucks.

00:07:21.540 Average gift was about 100 bucks.

00:07:24.900 And they were demonized as terrorists, again, to justify the Emergency Act.

00:07:30.140 But was that true?

00:07:32.500 Well, here's the story in this case from TNC News, our friends at True North.

00:07:36.620 Convoy donations came from fed up people, not terrorists.

00:07:41.140 And what's the source of that?

00:07:43.880 Fintrack itself.

00:07:44.800 Let me read a little bit.

00:07:45.500 This is a story from our friends at True North.

00:07:48.480 Canada's chief financial intelligence agency has once again shut down claims by Trudeau government, by the Trudeau government.

00:07:59.860 The donations given to the truckers' freedom convoy constituted terrorist funding.

00:08:05.420 Black Lock's reporter reported Friday that Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Center of Canada, nicknamed Fintrack, Deputy Director of Intelligence Barry McKillop, had declared the money raised for the convoy protest came from people supporting a cause they believed in.

00:08:25.440 Not criminals, not terrorists.

00:08:28.920 What a bizarre, bizarre lie.

00:08:31.100 Does that little video play if you click on that and get the volume up there?

00:08:34.920 Can we hear that?

00:08:35.900 So this is the Q&A where you hear McKillop say, no, no, no, it's not terrorists. 0.99

00:08:40.160 What are you, crazy? 0.98

00:08:41.080 What are you, some sort of liberal? 1.00

00:08:43.200 Let's see if we can hear the sound there.

00:08:45.140 Yeah, perfect.

00:08:45.700 So this was at a parliamentary committee.

00:08:54.040 Without the elites of GoFundMe, without that, are you able to find out who the donors are, all of those who funded?

00:09:12.040 Thank you so much for your question, Mr. Chair.

00:09:15.700 Certainly, we don't use elites, nor do we speak of elites.

00:09:24.820 Those who donated to that cause did so.

00:09:33.020 But as far as crowdfunding platforms are concerned, unfortunately, they are available to everyone.

00:09:41.440 Anybody can donate with respect to one like Stripe.

00:09:48.800 Well, certainly there were people who supported the cause before it was declared illegal.

00:09:56.700 So I think that there were people around the world who were fed up with COVID, who were upset and saw the demonstrations against COVID.

00:10:11.020 And I believe that they just wanted to support the cause.

00:10:15.360 It was their money, their own money.

00:10:18.960 So it wasn't money that...

00:10:23.080 Very, very clear, wasn't it?

00:10:24.520 It was their own money.

00:10:25.620 They were just donating the cause.

00:10:26.900 There was no money laundering.

00:10:28.380 But there was one thing he said that I'll take issue with.

00:10:31.040 He said, before the cause was declared illegal.

00:10:34.040 So this was the deputy head of intelligence for FinTrack.

00:10:38.680 He's the spy, really, whose job is to catch money laundering and things like that.

00:10:44.600 So he gave an excellent answer there.

00:10:46.680 But he said one thing I want to challenge.

00:10:48.920 He said, before the cause was declared illegal.

00:10:51.640 Except in Canada, you don't really declare causes illegal.

00:10:55.580 It's not really a thing.

00:10:56.920 Because a cause is something that motivates you, causes you to care, causes you to act.

00:11:04.640 It's part of your mind, really.

00:11:06.780 It's part of your heart.

00:11:07.980 It's part of your conscience.

00:11:09.340 It's your freedom of thought, your belief.

00:11:13.920 There actually are no illegal beliefs in Canada.

00:11:16.900 Did you know that?

00:11:19.400 Now, certain actions can be made illegal.

00:11:22.480 For example, if you supported a terrorist group, if you materially support a terrorist

00:11:28.560 group, if you promote them, if you fund them, if you go join them.

00:11:35.120 But you'll notice all of those are action words.

00:11:37.440 Those are verbs.

00:11:38.080 It's not just what's in your heart.

00:11:40.200 You can hold anything in your heart.

00:11:42.540 You can have any cause you care about.

00:11:46.220 And that's not illegal in Canada.

00:11:47.780 So, when that fellow there, that basically financial spy for Fintrack says, most of these

00:11:57.100 people donated before the cause was declared illegal.

00:12:02.320 The cause was actually not declared illegal in any way other than by Trudeau and Lamedi and

00:12:09.200 Christy Freeland demonizing it.

00:12:11.000 You know, Trudeau repeatedly said illegal protests.

00:12:17.720 There are no illegal protests in Canada, if they're peaceful.

00:12:21.580 I mean, I suppose there are some parking tickets.

00:12:26.500 But a peaceful protest in Canada is the essence of legal.

00:12:33.980 It's so important that we put it in a section of our constitution called fundamental freedoms.

00:12:39.920 If you've ever looked at our constitution, section two is called fundamental freedoms.

00:12:43.600 It's the big ones.

00:12:44.880 Freedom of thought, expression, belief, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of

00:12:48.140 association, freedom of assembly.

00:12:51.280 And that's the fundamental freedom.

00:12:53.820 Then they list other ones later down, like the right to vote, right to mobility, right to

00:12:59.420 a fair trial.

00:13:00.200 But those fundamental freedoms, they're so important because the other freedoms are built

00:13:05.280 on them.

00:13:05.800 So the idea that a cause could be declared illegal, that's just not how it works in Canada.

00:13:12.440 Now, I'm not being mad at or mean to that FinTrack guy because he's not an expert in, you know,

00:13:20.680 constitutional charter rights.

00:13:23.980 He's an expert in money laundering and terrorism.

00:13:26.300 So he probably just chose a word that popped into his mind without thinking about it too carefully.

00:13:31.240 But what we have seen just in what I've shown you here is that 90% of the funds did come

00:13:39.120 from Canada, small donations.

00:13:41.140 And that is, it's so obvious the money was just people fed up with what was going on.

00:13:45.080 They were donating their own money.

00:13:46.500 They weren't gathering, they weren't bundling terrorist money.

00:13:50.880 Very, very...

00:13:51.240 And this is all coming out after the defamation.

00:13:57.200 You know, by the time truth laces up its boots, the lie has run around the whole world.

00:14:04.520 I want to show you one more thing about Tamara Lich.

00:14:08.220 I've never met or spoken with Tamara Lich, but she is...

00:14:11.660 She can credibly be claim to be sort of the mama bear of the trucker convoy. 0.90

00:14:18.820 She's the one who set up the first GoFundMe that really went viral.

00:14:22.080 She would do inspirational Facebook videos.

00:14:25.340 And she was really the...

00:14:27.880 I'm not sure if I would call her the organizer of the...

00:14:33.300 Because I think it was sort of...

00:14:35.000 It was a spontaneous order.

00:14:36.540 I don't think it was like a highly regimented, highly controlled thing.

00:14:40.340 But do we have a video of her being arrested on the street?

00:14:45.040 Can you find that quickly?

00:14:46.800 Like, she's just such a peaceful lady.

00:14:48.500 She's a Métis woman from Medicine Hat, Alberta.

00:14:51.960 And, you know, wouldn't hurt a fly.

00:14:54.380 I don't think she's done a violent thing in her life.

00:14:58.000 And there she was just walking at night on the snowy streets of Ottawa.

00:15:03.100 And she was just arrested on the street. 0.99

00:15:05.280 Do we have that vid?

00:15:08.720 Just picked up on the street.

00:15:10.340 And it reminded me of police states where people just disappear.

00:15:15.820 They go for a walk and then they get snatched up and they disappear.

00:15:20.180 Yeah, let's just take a quick look.

00:15:21.540 Oh, boy.

00:15:28.700 So, you're a good place to be here.

00:15:32.460 Let's ask you back in school, please, sir.

00:15:34.860 Should you get a backup, please?

00:15:36.920 Just back up.

00:15:38.100 Thank you.

00:15:40.120 My coat's wet.

00:15:40.760 Thank you.

00:15:41.780 And me.

00:15:42.660 Yeah.

00:15:43.380 My name is Don.

00:15:44.740 I'm not here to arrest you, Sean.

00:15:46.900 Well, you will be.

00:15:47.700 It's me.

00:15:47.980 What's that?

00:15:49.520 Because I'm ready next to her.

00:15:51.000 If you're going to take her, you've got to take you after.

00:15:53.760 This is Danny Goldford.

00:15:55.140 And I'm Sean Dyke.

00:15:56.480 Don't hear.

00:15:57.120 Just as much as you're down here.

00:15:58.820 We're down here.

00:16:01.180 You guys know you're going on.

00:16:02.640 You're going to need it, right?

00:16:03.940 Yep.

00:16:04.260 I got you.

00:16:05.600 Have a good night.

00:16:07.460 Enjoy yourself.

00:16:08.400 We'll see you soon, Tamara.

00:16:09.400 Hold the line.

00:16:10.440 Hold the line.

00:16:11.200 Hold the line.

00:16:11.360 Officer, you've got to take me, too.

00:16:20.400 Stay back.

00:16:21.400 I hope we've got recordings happening.

00:16:24.080 That's the Merrilees. 0.98

00:16:25.180 And I'm Sean.

00:16:27.240 Okay.

00:16:27.640 And Danny.

00:16:37.960 I've got a question for you.

00:16:39.520 Um, why was she arrested in that manner? 0.99

00:16:42.760 They knew where she was.

00:16:43.680 Why didn't they ask her to just present to the police station?

00:16:46.800 That's a small question.

00:16:47.760 A bigger question is, why was she handcuffed?

00:16:51.320 Is she a threat to herself or others?

00:16:53.540 Is she violent? 1.00

00:16:55.300 I mean, other than to humiliate her. 0.67

00:16:57.720 Now, that was a couple of weeks ago.

00:17:00.520 She's still in jail. 1.00

00:17:01.580 Now, did you hear when she was walking away? 0.59

00:17:03.100 She said, hold the line, and her friends who were recording said, hold the line.

00:17:08.020 It was sort of like a team cheer.

00:17:12.180 Hold the line was what they were saying.

00:17:14.260 Hold the line.

00:17:15.860 Not break the law or shoot someone or revolution or socialismo o muerte.

00:17:21.940 It was just hold the line, which was just basically means stand strong.

00:17:27.480 You know, um, you know, just for a second, I remember it's a little anecdote.

00:17:35.540 You know, I was, um, I used to be a lawyer a long time ago.

00:17:38.220 And when I was called to the bar, uh, Buzz McClung, Nellie McClung's grandson,

00:17:42.980 was the judge who was swearing me in.

00:17:45.700 And his job was to sign the little law society thing.

00:17:50.880 And he, but instead of just signing, I've gotten to my office.

00:17:53.580 I should bring it in and show it one day.

00:17:56.240 He, instead of just signing, you know, a judge just signs, you're a lawyer now.

00:17:59.840 You're like, it's a little, it's a swearing in.

00:18:01.880 He didn't just do that.

00:18:03.580 He said, stand firm, Ezra.

00:18:06.460 Like he wrote all across my parchment.

00:18:09.960 Stand firm, Ezra.

00:18:11.000 I should show it to you.

00:18:12.040 It's just a, it was just a go get him.

00:18:14.880 Attaboy.

00:18:15.700 Hold the line.

00:18:17.040 Stand firm.

00:18:17.420 I should get it.

00:18:18.180 I'm not going to get up and get it now, but I'll do it.

00:18:19.920 I'll show you another time.

00:18:21.020 I mean, I think it's sort of cool.

00:18:23.020 I think it's fun that he took such liberty.

00:18:24.920 He was a judge on the Alberta Court of Appeal at the time.

00:18:28.060 Like I say, Nellie McClung's grandson, one of the famous five suffragettes.

00:18:35.840 It's just a saying, hold the line.

00:18:37.880 But because she said, hold the line, a judge who was Trudeau's friend, Judge Bourgeois is

00:18:48.300 her name, who ran as a liberal in the 2011 elections and Trudeau campaigned with her, threw

00:18:55.120 her in prison without bail because, in part, she said, hold the line, which the judge said,

00:19:02.440 oh, you're inciting mischief.

00:19:04.880 No, it's just a saying.

00:19:06.900 It's just like when Buzz McClung wrote, stand firm, Ezra.

00:19:10.180 Hold fast.

00:19:13.380 Keep it up.

00:19:15.200 Don't give in.

00:19:16.640 Oh, prison.

00:19:18.640 Prison.

00:19:20.280 So she was in jail, I think, for 12 days until she had her bail hearing heard two days ago. 0.78

00:19:28.020 Yeah.

00:19:28.480 Judge keeping Freedom Convoy organizer in jail previously received high praise from Trudeau.

00:19:34.160 But that's not even the point.

00:19:35.500 Trudeau can praise or defame who he likes.

00:19:37.700 It's that she was a liberal candidate with Trudeau.

00:19:42.580 She ran in 2011.

00:19:45.060 It's not that Trudeau praised her.

00:19:46.600 It's that she swore loyalty to liberals.

00:19:51.220 Yeah.

00:19:51.900 Flashback.

00:19:52.520 Justin Trudeau expresses support for Julie Bourgeois, failed liberal candidate in 2011.

00:19:58.740 Bourgeois, a judge, just denied Freedom Convoy organizer Tamara Litch her bail.

00:20:03.320 Yeah.

00:20:03.580 Let's watch that if we can.

00:20:04.580 Let's just take a quick look at that video there.

00:20:07.700 Oh, it sounds like he got two versions going at the same time.

00:20:24.800 Sounds like he got one embedded on the website, one blown up.

00:20:31.120 Anyways, what you saw there was Trudeau praising this judge for being a great liberal candidate.

00:20:36.980 And then she returned the favor.

00:20:38.600 She should have recused herself.

00:20:43.060 That was two weeks ago.

00:20:44.220 On Wednesday, they had a review or an appeal of the bail conditions.

00:20:50.540 I have never in my life heard of anyone who has been jailed for inciting mischief and then inciting mischief or counseling mischief, whatever it's called.

00:21:02.420 And the factual basis for that was, hold the line.

00:21:07.860 Okay, man, you hold the line.

00:21:09.340 Okay, hold the line.

00:21:10.260 All right.

00:21:11.520 Hold the line.

00:21:12.380 Hold the line.

00:21:13.220 I'm making finger guns.

00:21:14.760 Don't arrest me for the finger guns.

00:21:16.820 I just said hold the line.

00:21:19.840 You know what bail is?

00:21:21.020 Bail is do you keep someone in jail until their trial?

00:21:25.100 So someone's arrested.

00:21:27.060 Do you keep them in jail until their trial or do you let them go on the promise to come back?

00:21:31.980 Sometimes you have to put a lot of money in the court.

00:21:34.740 Sometimes you have to surrender your passport.

00:21:37.340 It depends on three main things.

00:21:40.740 Traditionally, the most important is will you come back?

00:21:44.080 So I don't think Tamera Litch was going to run away from court. 1.00

00:21:47.600 I think she was, and they could pick her up any time.

00:21:50.440 By contrast, for example, Jeffrey Epstein was denied bail because he had private jets,

00:21:56.640 multiple passports, enormous means, homes in many countries.

00:22:01.100 So he's obviously a flight risk.

00:22:03.880 Second test, are you a risk, are you a danger to the public?

00:22:09.540 Tamera Litch isn't a danger to anyone. 0.60

00:22:11.260 And the third is, you know, the justice system in good repute.

00:22:18.100 There was no reason to keep her in jail.

00:22:21.220 She's not going to flee.

00:22:25.520 She's not a danger.

00:22:28.080 She said, hold the line.

00:22:30.020 People in Canada who are accused of murder are routinely let out on bail.

00:22:35.680 Sometimes they have to give up their passport, like I say.

00:22:39.260 People who are on bail for rape and then rape again, that's not even rare in Canada.

00:22:49.440 What's extremely rare is someone charged with inciting mischief.

00:22:54.560 She didn't even cause any mischief. 1.00

00:22:55.940 She just said, hold the line.

00:22:57.880 So go back to that last headline you had there because that's what I was working up to.

00:23:01.440 So she was jailed, denied bail indefinitely because she said, hold the line.

00:23:08.760 So she had a hearing two days ago.

00:23:13.140 Convoy organizer.

00:23:14.440 Let me just get that headline.

00:23:16.140 Tamera Litch to remain in jail at least five more days. 0.99

00:23:18.940 Litch denied bail February 22nd, judge to decide on appeal on Monday.

00:23:24.680 So she had this second hearing on Wednesday.

00:23:29.900 And the judge said, all right, thanks, everybody.

00:23:32.860 But you see, I'm super busy.

00:23:36.040 So, you know, I just got a few things I got to do.

00:23:38.620 So even though we're done the hearing on Wednesday, I need Thursday and Friday, that's today.

00:23:47.580 And I need Saturday and I need Sunday and I need Monday to really think it over because

00:23:53.300 I'm just so busy, you guys.

00:23:56.840 So, hey, sweetheart, is it OK if you stay in prison for five more days?

00:24:01.780 Just because I got a few things I got to I got to pick up my dry cleaning and, you know,

00:24:06.540 I've had this haircut appointment for a while and then there's that thing I got to do and

00:24:11.720 then the kids.

00:24:13.200 OK, so so you're in prison longer than any Canadian in history has ever been jailed for

00:24:18.600 inciting mischief.

00:24:21.420 Oh, well, my God, throw the book at her. 1.00

00:24:23.940 You were arrested and handcuffed.

00:24:25.200 Oh, and by the way, she was brought into that courtroom in leg irons, in ankle, ankle 1.00

00:24:32.200 handcuffs, leg irons.

00:24:36.740 You know, I've seen that a few times in my life.

00:24:39.120 It's shocking to see.

00:24:40.880 It's typically for people who are enormous and violent or a risk of violence and it's so

00:24:47.600 they don't run away.

00:24:48.680 It's so they don't like like it's it's shocking to see a man brought in and it's almost always

00:24:53.200 men brought in and leg irons because you can't run. 0.97

00:24:56.580 Right.

00:24:56.860 You just sort of shot.

00:24:58.420 You would be shuffling.

00:24:59.840 Why was Tamara Litz brought in and leg irons? 1.00

00:25:03.360 Why was she arrested and handcuffed in the first place? 0.99

00:25:07.260 Why did this judge decide that, oh, you know, OK, we've had that.

00:25:12.560 We've had the review and boy, your lawyer did a really great job.

00:25:16.120 But guys, I just won't be able to get around to this because I've got a bunch of more important

00:25:23.820 things to do.

00:25:24.980 So can you stay in prison for five more days until I get around to to telling you if I think

00:25:32.360 that you should be bailed or not?

00:25:37.380 It is absolutely true that this woman is a political prisoner and it is absolutely true 1.00

00:25:42.100 that if you cross Justin Trudeau, this is what will happen to you.

00:25:45.980 And it's funny because I mentioned the the the three grounds.

00:25:50.080 It used to just be two grounds.

00:25:52.140 Are you a flight risk as in are you going to run away?

00:25:55.520 Are you a danger?

00:25:56.580 And they added the third one.

00:25:57.480 Basically, I forget the exact wording.

00:25:59.200 And so you hold would it bring the justice system into disrepute?

00:26:02.840 Keeping this peaceful woman in prison for coming up on a month now, frankly. 0.91

00:26:11.300 Better part of a month.

00:26:15.120 Brings the judicial system into disrepute.

00:26:17.160 The fact that that first judge, Trudeau's bestie, didn't recuse herself, that brings the 0.99

00:26:23.600 justice system into disrepute.

00:26:26.140 And isn't it, though?

00:26:28.420 Isn't it, though?

00:26:29.260 I don't know if you can find it.

00:26:32.860 I tweeted the other day.

00:26:34.000 The Alberta court of Queen's Bench put out an announcement saying that they don't care

00:26:38.020 what the rules are.

00:26:38.940 They don't care what the public health officer says.

00:26:41.260 They don't care what the science is.

00:26:43.000 They're going to keep their mask mandate on for everyone who goes to court.

00:26:46.520 They just decided because apparently Alberta's judges are also Alberta's doctors, or at least

00:26:52.320 they know better than Alberta's doctors, as if masks worked in the first place.

00:26:56.200 But the court announced, I don't know if you can find it.

00:26:58.760 It's probably not.

00:27:01.040 If you, let me see.

00:27:03.120 I can probably find it.

00:27:05.060 I used the word recluse.

00:27:15.200 Anyways, I can't, I can't find it quickly.

00:27:18.320 Here we go.

00:27:18.760 I'll just send it to you.

00:27:20.400 Oh, you got it.

00:27:21.020 I said, so the judges, yeah, thanks.

00:27:24.160 You found that really quickly.

00:27:25.420 The judges said, court attendance is often compulsory, even for vulnerable segments of

00:27:31.360 the population.

00:27:32.440 Consequently, Alberta's courts are maintaining access restrictions, mandatory face masking,

00:27:37.300 social distancing, courtroom capacity limits, and vaccination policy.

00:27:40.720 Just, just forever, I guess.

00:27:42.880 They just love it.

00:27:45.440 They love, you know, that case, you know, a lot of court has been done by Zoom or Skype

00:27:51.420 or whatever in the last two years.

00:27:54.580 I don't know if you can find this quickly.

00:27:56.260 Here's a Google challenge for you.

00:27:58.040 There was an Ontario judge.

00:28:00.020 It's too funny.

00:28:01.040 There was an Ontario judge who went down to the Caribbean, had, you know, in your Zoom

00:28:07.940 background, you can choose like a fake background.

00:28:10.800 He would like choose like a court, but he was in the Caribbean ruling on cases in Canada.

00:28:17.780 Can you find that news story?

00:28:19.660 Oh my God.

00:28:23.160 They love it.

00:28:24.720 They love it.

00:28:25.660 They get to, you know, I'm, I'm wearing pants right now, but you wouldn't know, right?

00:28:29.240 Like I'm wearing shorts when I'm wearing pants.

00:28:31.760 Ontario judge presided over cases remotely from the Caribbean.

00:28:35.240 Superior court blames an oversight.

00:28:37.680 Yeah, sure.

00:28:38.560 Oversight is he loves being at the beach.

00:28:40.820 It would be like he would have, he would have his robe on top, but his swimming suit underneath

00:28:46.940 and he would have the fake backdrop that he was in court.

00:28:52.500 Yeah, they love the lockdown.

00:28:55.720 They don't have to go into court.

00:28:56.920 Or if they do, everyone has to be obedient and on one knee and, you know, with, with masks

00:29:03.500 and they've just decided.

00:29:05.500 And here's what I wrote in reply.

00:29:07.000 I said, there is no scientific basis for this.

00:29:10.080 This is a political statement, a superstition, really.

00:29:14.640 It's a group of old, scared, reclusive elites showing just how disconnected they are from

00:29:19.240 society.

00:29:19.900 And it's a signal that the courts will never give a fair hearing to those challenging the

00:29:23.280 laws.

00:29:23.520 And that's my, my real point.

00:29:26.340 Who are judges?

00:29:29.020 They're old.

00:29:32.840 Sometimes people complain that judges are men, judges are white, whatever.

00:29:38.200 That's just the function of them being old.

00:29:40.740 If you're a judge and you're 70 or 65, that means you went to law school 40, 50 years ago.

00:29:47.100 There just weren't that many women in law school. 1.00

00:29:50.340 And now there are more women than men in law school, minorities, new immigrants, whatever. 1.00

00:29:56.440 50 years ago, the demographic complexion of Canada was different.

00:29:59.800 So if you're complaining, why aren't there more of this minority or that minority on the

00:30:03.920 bench?

00:30:04.300 It's because judges are typically old.

00:30:05.800 That's why it's no secret.

00:30:07.660 Soon that won't even be the case.

00:30:09.180 It's like I say, more than half of medical schools, more than half of law schools are

00:30:14.620 women. 0.81

00:30:15.080 Now, whether or not they continue in the profession is up to them.

00:30:18.000 I mean, many women drop out of those professions because they choose to have a family instead 1.00

00:30:24.020 or they work per time.

00:30:27.320 But put aside the race and the religion and the gender, that's irrelevant to me.

00:30:31.180 The age is what's relevant to me.

00:30:33.360 Judges are old.

00:30:34.120 And what is it about being old and the virus?

00:30:38.220 Well, that's the thing.

00:30:39.900 This virus has done very little risk to young, healthy people.

00:30:45.340 It's just a fact.

00:30:47.120 The people who are most at risk from the virus are old and to be candid, fat and people with

00:30:54.060 serious underlying conditions.

00:30:56.240 So old fat people. 0.99

00:30:58.720 Gee, does that sound like a judge to you? 0.99

00:31:01.200 Yeah. 0.97

00:31:01.420 Well, so you've got this group of old fat people who are terrified, who are compliant 1.00

00:31:08.640 rule followers by nature. 0.90

00:31:10.140 They're judges.

00:31:12.240 They're going to be the most panicky people in the entire society.

00:31:16.620 And if they go out, they go out to fancy, fancy places.

00:31:20.180 They go out to their friends' places.

00:31:21.700 They go to the country. 0.76

00:31:22.560 They're not going to gyms to work out.

00:31:25.680 They're not going to clubs with young people.

00:31:27.420 They're not going to, you know, they're not out, they're not mixing with severely normal

00:31:31.480 people, certainly not the working class.

00:31:33.480 So you've got these Zoom judges, including that one guy who went down to the Caribbean 0.77

00:31:37.800 saying, oh, we better not get back to normal.

00:31:43.360 We're going to keep this insane superstition crisis going forever because we sort of like

00:31:51.120 it and we're also the afraidest people in society.

00:31:55.500 And my point is, if you go to court to challenge any of these health laws, do you have a chance?

00:32:00.960 The judges have just signaled together like a pack that they're afraid and they don't

00:32:07.280 care what the public health officer says.

00:32:11.000 They don't care what the CDC says.

00:32:13.840 They don't care that it's over.

00:32:15.820 They're just afraid.

00:32:17.180 Yeah, good luck.

00:32:18.560 Good luck getting a fair day in court there, eh?

00:32:21.400 Unbelievable.

00:32:25.020 Well, let's see what else is cooking.

00:32:28.560 I just literally while I'm sitting here, I just someone sent me something that I think

00:32:34.740 is interesting.

00:32:35.400 Olivia, I'm going to send it to you by email.

00:32:39.160 I just literally right now saw a news story from Ohio.

00:32:44.760 Have you ever been in Ohio?

00:32:49.580 Resolution introduced in Ohio legislature urges Canada to be placed on religious liberty watch

00:32:58.280 list.

00:32:59.400 Isn't that interesting?

00:33:00.680 That goes to what I'm saying about these crazy, terrified judges, especially in Alberta,

00:33:09.280 where they arrest again and again and Pastor Arthur Pavlovsky, where they arrested his brother

00:33:15.640 David Pavlovsky a couple of days ago.

00:33:17.380 Do you have that email?

00:33:19.080 There we go.

00:33:20.980 Resolution introduced in Ohio legislature urges Canada to be placed on religious liberty watch

00:33:24.800 list.

00:33:25.240 Ohio state representatives have taken note of the abuses of religious liberty in Canada,

00:33:29.320 the resolution says.

00:33:32.060 By John Brown of Fox News.

00:33:33.780 State legislators introduced a resolution in the Ohio House of Representatives on Tuesday

00:33:38.840 urging the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedoms to add Canada to its special

00:33:43.420 watch list.

00:33:45.580 As a Canadian pastor remains jailed, they're talking about Arthur Pavlovsky.

00:33:50.560 The resolution, which was introduced by Republican state representatives Reggie Stolfus and Timothy

00:33:56.060 Ginter, was co-sponsored by 11 of their colleagues.

00:33:59.640 Isn't that interesting?

00:34:03.140 Look at that.

00:34:03.980 Hey, I got a question for you.

00:34:06.760 Why has no, why has not a single legislator in Canada done that?

00:34:15.180 Like not one.

00:34:16.800 Like you've got, what, 87 MLAs in Alberta going from memory?

00:34:21.400 Oh, look, and they have a little, they embed a rebel tweet in that Fox News story.

00:34:25.480 That's fun.

00:34:26.460 If you scroll down a bit more.

00:34:27.660 Um, no, but back to my point.

00:34:33.260 So you've got, how many MPs?

00:34:35.720 Is it 338?

00:34:37.820 And how many Alberta MLAs going from memory, 87?

00:34:42.440 And there's been Christians arrested in other places, Manitoba, Ontario, Nova Scotia, New

00:34:48.760 Brunswick, trying to remember which one.

00:34:49.960 Um, these different provincial legislatures in our federal parliament, I just mentioned

00:34:55.420 the MPs.

00:34:56.180 There's also more than 100 senators.

00:34:59.940 Yeah, about all up.

00:35:01.520 300, 450, 500.

00:35:03.800 You're coming up 700, 800 politicians in Canada, elected legislators.

00:35:09.900 And I haven't even talked about mayors and city councillors.

00:35:15.680 Has a single one put a motion forward like you just saw there in the Ohio State Legislature?

00:35:22.680 Has one, has a single one.

00:35:24.880 Well, not that I know of.

00:35:25.880 If you know of one, let me know and we'll toot that horn.

00:35:28.620 But wouldn't you say it's an unhealthy thing for a country like Canada that claims to believe

00:35:35.640 in rights and freedoms, that claims to believe in liberties, wouldn't you say it's sort of

00:35:42.540 awful that, um, Americans care more about our civil liberties than we do?

00:35:50.680 Like that, like that, there's something deeply wrong with our political class and our so-called

00:35:55.620 conservative parties.

00:35:58.620 You know, I, I haven't had a chance to chew it over yet, but you might recall, um, in

00:36:05.020 December, Rebel News applied for a mortgage to buy a building in, um, uh, in Calgary.

00:36:16.280 So a commercial mortgage and, uh, applied with the Royal Bank and they said they loved it.

00:36:20.880 Great application.

00:36:22.040 Rebel News was very strong.

00:36:24.340 Um, but, uh, they said no.

00:36:28.620 For political reasons, yeah.

00:36:33.020 I recorded the call with a banker because I knew I would never get it in writing.

00:36:36.060 He said the Royal Bank rejected us because we're conservative.

00:36:39.180 And I, and I pressed him on and he, and he told me several times in several ways.

00:36:43.260 There was not a single Canadian conservative politician who spoke out against that.

00:36:47.660 I'm not asking for them to be my friends.

00:36:50.020 I'm not asking for them to go on a date.

00:36:52.240 I'm not asking for them to say, we love Rebel News and Ezra LeVant's our best friend.

00:36:57.140 But you don't see a problem with banks bringing in a China style social credit system where

00:37:02.700 they can ban people that they don't like.

00:37:05.360 Is there, is there a YouTube down or did we log off?

00:37:10.320 We logged off because we were getting into spicy territory.

00:37:12.740 Fair enough.

00:37:13.880 Uh, hello to our friends on Rumble and I'm sure we got friends on Super U.

00:37:19.460 Where are we streaming?

00:37:20.420 Getter.

00:37:23.760 Getter, Super U, Odyssey and Rumble.

00:37:26.060 Well, hi everybody.

00:37:27.760 Um, don't you think it's weird that not a single Canadian conservative said, hey, yeah, maybe

00:37:34.100 we ought to, maybe we ought to, and that was in December.

00:37:37.640 I wouldn't, you know it, in February, in comes Trudeau and Christopher Freeland and David

00:37:41.400 Lamedi and Mark Mendocino for seizing and freezing bank accounts.

00:37:45.580 Yeah, maybe it's a bit of a problem.

00:37:46.780 Um, and I tell you that because a few days ago, the ranking Republican on the House Financial

00:37:56.860 Services Committee, um, he actually made an issue out of it.

00:38:03.060 He, um, I'm just going to dig that up.

00:38:07.000 Haven't released this yet.

00:38:11.600 He, uh, he wrote a letter to the head of the Federal Reserve.

00:38:16.780 Saying, um, I'm just going to blow my nose, pardon me.

00:38:20.480 Saying, I demand to know why banks are politically injecting politics into mortgages.

00:38:29.960 And he made specific reference, specific reference to my case.

00:38:37.560 Isn't that my case?

00:38:39.500 The case of Rebel News.

00:38:40.720 And I say again, and the reason I mentioned that, I, I haven't really done the, uh, story

00:38:47.200 on that yet.

00:38:49.240 But my point is, no Canadian cared.

00:38:53.140 No Canadian senator, no Canadian, and maybe say, oh, well, they're afraid of this or that.

00:38:58.640 Well, I'm not impressed.

00:39:00.620 Um, I'm going to see if I can find this and, and send it to you, Olivia, to show.

00:39:04.660 So, and, and I think the fact that these Republicans are not afraid to, to do a battle.

00:39:19.380 I'm going to, I'm going to send you this letter right now.

00:39:22.700 Sorry to keep you waiting.

00:39:24.720 Olivia, this, I'm going to break a little news here.

00:39:26.700 I'm just going to send it to you.

00:39:33.180 Sorry to make you wait.

00:39:36.460 Okay.

00:39:36.920 Just click send.

00:39:37.740 So I just sent you a letter from the, now in Canada, we might not use this term.

00:39:44.560 Remember there's Democrats and Republicans down there.

00:39:46.780 And do you control the majority or the minority of the Congress?

00:39:51.860 And that makes a big difference because if you control the Congress, then you control the

00:39:55.880 committees, you control their agenda.

00:39:58.540 There's a lot of things.

00:39:59.620 There's a lot of powers you have.

00:40:01.080 And that's called the chair of the committee.

00:40:03.620 But the minority party, um, the leader of the minority party is called the ranking member.

00:40:09.080 But they're still fairly powerful.

00:40:10.620 Plus you got to realize that the Congress changes hands.

00:40:14.560 It goes back and forth.

00:40:15.440 Right.

00:40:16.100 And I think most polls suggest that Congress is going to flip back to the Republicans in

00:40:21.100 November.

00:40:21.460 So this ranking member, Patrick McHenry is his name, who is really mad about politicization

00:40:28.460 of banks.

00:40:29.740 He's going to be the boss of the banking committee in like just over six months.

00:40:36.060 He's a very powerful guy and I've never met him, never talked to him, never like he's

00:40:41.220 just, I don't even, I'd have to Google what state he's from.

00:40:44.820 He cares more about stopping China style social credit banking in Canada than any Canadian 0.56

00:40:51.640 conservative.

00:40:52.160 Don't you think that's a problem?

00:40:53.780 Like, don't you think it's a problem that some guys in the Ohio state legislature care

00:41:00.580 more about religious freedom in Canada than Canadian politicians do?

00:41:03.720 Don't you think that's a problem?

00:41:04.440 Did you get that email?

00:41:07.700 Let's throw it up on the screen as big as possible.

00:41:12.000 So you can see right at the top there, the United States House of Representatives Committee

00:41:20.300 on Financial Services.

00:41:21.860 Perfect.

00:41:22.240 Yeah.

00:41:22.840 So it's sent, do you see it's sent to the chair of the Federal Reserve?

00:41:27.880 Dear Chairman Powell, the Obama administration launched Operation Choke Point to apply pressure

00:41:36.500 on financial institutions to cut off financial services to certain licensed, legally operating

00:41:43.580 industries.

00:41:44.800 After years of congressional investigation and civil litigation, the record with respect

00:41:51.240 to Operation Choke Point is clear.

00:41:54.300 Political appointees and bureaucrats of the Justice Department and several independent federal

00:41:57.540 agencies use threats to force banks to terminate their relationships with politically disfavored

00:42:03.440 businesses.

00:42:04.360 What remains unclear is whether those agencies have taken steps to ensure the federal government

00:42:08.120 cannot abuse its authority to regulate the financial sector in other ways.

00:42:13.100 So they're talking about Operation Choke Point.

00:42:15.800 Skip the next letter, if you please.

00:42:17.720 And then the next paragraph.

00:42:19.240 Scroll down.

00:42:19.800 So, OK, that's the end of the first page.

00:42:21.980 But look at the second page.

00:42:23.780 This is where it gets really exciting if you can grab that second page.

00:42:26.640 So he's talking about when Obama said, we're going to cut off banking to people we don't

00:42:32.560 like.

00:42:33.120 And it was a terrible thing.

00:42:34.760 And they really pressured the banks.

00:42:36.540 I really don't think that some of the banks would have done that on their own.

00:42:40.220 But most banks are in the business of banking.

00:42:43.560 And, you know, they don't want to just bank for Republicans or Democrats.

00:42:47.720 They want everyone's banking.

00:42:50.240 Don't you think?

00:42:50.860 Like, it would be like a restaurant saying we only serve Democrats or we only serve Republicans.

00:42:55.200 Well, everybody eats.

00:42:57.440 Let me know when you got that second page, because, yeah, here we go.

00:43:01.080 Look at this.

00:43:01.720 This is the second page of the letter.

00:43:03.240 I got to do a news story on this one day.

00:43:05.880 There are, however, other forms of leverage and financial surveillance that the federal

00:43:09.140 government can use to chill constitutionally protected activities.

00:43:13.100 For example, in Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau declared a national emergency and instructed

00:43:19.040 banks and other financial services providers to freeze accounts associated with any person

00:43:23.600 attending an illegal protest or providing supplies to demonstrators pursuant to the Prime Minister's

00:43:29.220 emergency order.

00:43:29.960 However, any suspicious transactions must also be reported to the Financial Transactions and

00:43:35.300 Reports Analysis Center of Canada, Fintrack.

00:43:38.300 And then skip and then look at the, just skip a little bit and then go to the fourth.

00:43:43.200 Yeah.

00:43:43.840 Now, look at this.

00:43:44.560 This is the paragraph they refer to us.

00:43:49.260 Again, recent events in Canada show what can happen absent such protections, according

00:43:54.440 to an audio recording, a representative for Royal Bank of Canada, RBC, told a longstanding

00:43:59.200 customer, that's me, who is seeking a mortgage, that's Rebel, quote, the bank is being, you know,

00:44:04.980 trying to pry away from certain, you know, clients because of their controversial nature.

00:44:09.520 The RBC representative subsequently identified the customer's conservative media organization

00:44:15.520 and companies involved in oil and gas exploration as subject to the bank's new policy to scrutinize

00:44:22.020 politically sensitive applications.

00:44:26.560 And then go to the third page, the final page, if you can.

00:44:29.100 So, anyway, that's the last reference to me and us.

00:44:32.660 But the ranking member of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee.

00:44:37.620 So, this is not just some backbench, as we would say, congressman.

00:44:41.580 This is the top dog in the Republicans who will likely be the chairman in the fall.

00:44:45.400 He's saying to the boss of the American banking system, chairman of the Federal Reserve, are

00:44:51.580 banks using politics to set up, really, a Chinese-style social credit system?

00:44:56.360 And then on his last page, he basically has some questions.

00:45:00.020 Has the agency reviewed and clarified, as appropriate, existing policy and guidance pertaining to

00:45:08.900 the provision and termination of banking services?

00:45:11.700 Does the agency coordinate with other?

00:45:13.840 So, basically, are you doing this?

00:45:16.520 Are you letting this happen?

00:45:17.760 Does the agency have existing policies and guidance pertaining to freezing or otherwise

00:45:22.300 restricting access to the assets and accounts of U.S. citizens?

00:45:25.840 And that's a great point.

00:45:27.880 Thanks very much, Libby.

00:45:28.880 I don't need to say any more.

00:45:29.920 Because remember what Trudeau's emergencies order said.

00:45:35.040 It said any bank doing business in Canada had to obey.

00:45:38.860 Canadian banks, and we know what they are.

00:45:41.520 But any foreign bank registered to do business in Canada, there were literally dozens.

00:45:46.000 There's about three dozen American banks that are registered to do business in Canada.

00:45:52.020 Obviously, the biggest ones, right?

00:45:53.620 You've probably heard of Wells Fargo or Citibank.

00:45:58.640 You might even have a credit card with them.

00:46:02.020 Bank of America.

00:46:02.740 I don't even know what they're all called.

00:46:04.460 But there's literally dozens of American banks that do business in Canada.

00:46:08.620 And if you remember what the Trudeau's Emergencies Act order said, any foreign bank had to do

00:46:14.520 this too.

00:46:15.380 Now, Trudeau said, hey, guys, don't worry.

00:46:17.840 I'm going to pass an order that you can't be sued for this.

00:46:20.960 So we're going to seize and freeze your customers' money.

00:46:24.480 But hey, hey, hey, don't worry about it.

00:46:26.560 That might feel a little banana republic-ish, but we'll just put the banana republic part

00:46:31.900 one degree further by saying you can't even sue us for this. 0.98

00:46:34.740 Ha ha, suckers. 0.97

00:46:35.680 Except for that doesn't work when your bank's in America. 0.95

00:46:37.760 Justin Trudeau can stop you from suing a bank in Canada when they seize your money for them.

00:46:44.980 But he can't tell American banks, hey, guys, go ahead and seize money of your customers

00:46:49.920 who gave 20 bucks to the truckers.

00:46:52.000 And don't worry.

00:46:53.360 It's OK.

00:46:54.280 Follow my instructions.

00:46:55.660 And we won't let you sue them.

00:46:57.120 That's not how it works in America.

00:46:58.460 If you've got an American bank with an American customer and that American bank is registered

00:47:04.340 to do business in Canada and Trudeau says you've got to turn over all your customers

00:47:08.660 who gave money to the truckers, that's the law in Canada. 0.89

00:47:14.100 That was the law under the Emergencies Act.

00:47:15.980 But it clearly violates a number of laws in the United States, including privacy and the

00:47:21.920 First Amendment.

00:47:22.960 Customers are allowed to have political opinions without some foreign dictators saying seize

00:47:28.240 that money.

00:47:29.400 So what a terrible position to be in.

00:47:31.180 You're an American bank operating in both countries.

00:47:34.360 Frankly, you're a Canadian bank operating in both countries because the Royal Bank of

00:47:37.680 Canada, RBC Bank, as it's called in the US, RBC Bank has customers in Florida too.

00:47:43.340 RBC Bank, are they going to turn in their American customers?

00:47:47.560 So my point, and thank you for letting me indulge it a bit there, was that the world is noticing

00:47:58.120 that we are becoming less free.

00:48:01.920 The world is noticing that we're becoming less free with regards to Christians and religious

00:48:06.800 liberty.

00:48:08.000 That's an Ohio legislature.

00:48:09.920 The world is noticing that we're politicizing banking and financial services in a way that's

00:48:17.120 never been done in North America before.

00:48:20.320 The world is afraid that that Canadian virus of martial law is seeping elsewhere.

00:48:26.960 That's what that House Financial Services letter was about.

00:48:30.020 It's about saying to the boss of the American banks, the head of the Federal Reserve, are you

00:48:35.140 making sure this Trudeau banana republicness isn't seeping into our country?

00:48:41.600 That's what that was about.

00:48:43.840 What do you think of that?

00:48:47.080 Well, thanks for letting me go on there.

00:48:48.680 I really haven't touched a lot of things.

00:48:50.300 Should we try and get some chats in?

00:48:52.680 Where do you post the chats?

00:48:53.560 Should you put that in Slack or something?

00:48:57.580 Okay, I'm going to open up Slack and I'll just go to live stream.

00:49:00.180 Guys, I'm a little bit out of touch because I haven't done the live stream a lot.

00:49:05.140 All right, let's see what we got here.

00:49:12.160 I see lots of interesting stories.

00:49:13.880 I'm just scrolling down for the rumble rants, right?

00:49:19.780 Did you put any in there?

00:49:25.200 A direct message to me.

00:49:26.680 Okay, thanks.

00:49:27.960 So here, let me read some of these.

00:49:29.420 Private property is the nickname, seven bucks.

00:49:34.300 Thank you.

00:49:34.560 Ezra, if you had to vote for one party right now, would you vote for the new blue party or

00:49:39.280 the Ontario party?

00:49:41.720 You have met both leaders.

00:49:47.500 Let me try and remember who they are.

00:49:51.200 I think Derek Sloan is the leader of the Ontario party and Jim Karahelios is the leader of the

00:49:57.740 new blue party.

00:49:58.440 Is that right?

00:50:03.060 It's a tough call because neither of them have a chance to win.

00:50:08.720 There's just no way I could possibly ever vote for Doug Ford.

00:50:18.480 On the other hand, the alternatives, the mainstream alternatives of the liberals and the NDP are

00:50:27.740 just as depraved.

00:50:29.020 I do not know what I would do, I suppose, voting for one of those two minor parties.

00:50:35.520 Although I thought, yeah, you know what?

00:50:38.460 It's funny you ask me that question because that's a question without an answer.

00:50:42.480 That's like saying, what's the square root of minus one?

00:50:47.500 There's no answer to it.

00:50:50.500 But I want to tell you some good news because I speak like seven words of French.

00:50:55.000 French, but those seven words, and of course, menu is one of them.

00:51:03.960 I'm watching what's happening in Quebec.

00:51:05.580 There's a new party out there called the Quebec Conservative Party.

00:51:08.120 Have you ever heard of it?

00:51:08.740 I bet you haven't.

00:51:11.840 It's run by a friend of ours who used to appear on this show from time to time named Eric

00:51:17.400 Duem, longtime journalist, radio host.

00:51:20.740 I met him when I was a kid working for Preston Manning in Parliament.

00:51:23.800 He was a kid working for Gilles Deceptre, the leader of the Bloc Capital Court.

00:51:27.920 Can you believe it?

00:51:28.400 I was just, well, yeah, there he is.

00:51:29.820 Look at that guy.

00:51:32.320 Participez au vrai changement.

00:51:34.500 Participate in real change.

00:51:36.320 Joignez-vous.

00:51:37.560 Join with me and the Conservative Party of Quebec.

00:51:42.840 And that's the leader there, Eric Duem.

00:51:45.000 He's about my age, but obviously much more handsome.

00:51:48.580 Or I'll leave that to you to decide.

00:51:50.940 Very good talker.

00:51:53.660 He's an author, very good thinker.

00:51:57.020 And he's polling in the double digits.

00:51:59.720 And he's attracting candidates almost every week who are really well known.

00:52:07.140 He's taking candidates from other parties, too.

00:52:11.580 I think he's ahead.

00:52:12.780 I haven't seen polling in the last few weeks.

00:52:15.540 But I follow his account on Twitter, even though it's in French mainly.

00:52:22.600 Very much opposed to lockdownism.

00:52:25.900 Very much small C, Conservative, you know, in terms of size of government.

00:52:30.580 And if I recall, he's in third place in the polls, which doesn't sound like much.

00:52:37.640 But there's the Coalition Avenue in Quebec, the CAC party, which is the government.

00:52:43.460 Then there's the Liberals.

00:52:45.800 There's the Parti Quebecois.

00:52:46.980 There's Quebec Solidaires.

00:52:47.860 So there's like four parties.

00:52:51.220 He is, I think, already in third place.

00:52:54.820 And he's just a great operator, a hard worker, very strategic, very principled, tapping into

00:53:03.300 pandemic rage.

00:53:05.020 Upstart Quebec Conservative Party leader surges in the polls.

00:53:10.300 And what's the date on this one here?

00:53:12.480 Yeah, just a couple of weeks ago.

00:53:14.080 And what are the polls they show?

00:53:17.720 Let's just take a look.

00:53:19.020 See there.

00:53:22.760 The second most popular party.

00:53:25.080 I said the third.

00:53:26.680 Oh, my God.

00:53:27.740 He's in second place.

00:53:30.440 Duen was elected leader of the party last April.

00:53:33.220 The party nearly dead not long ago.

00:53:36.700 Now counts 52,000 members.

00:53:40.480 More than any other provincial party in Quebec?

00:53:45.440 Holy moly.

00:53:47.400 To his detractors.

00:53:48.480 To him, a former shock jock.

00:53:49.580 He's not a shock jock.

00:53:51.280 I've known him for 30 years.

00:53:53.980 He is not a shock jock.

00:53:56.320 He's so sensitive.

00:53:57.600 I mean, he has strong opinion.

00:53:59.260 Shock jock. 1.00

00:54:00.120 That's such a stupid thing to say. 1.00

00:54:02.240 It's like he's Howard Stern or something. 1.00

00:54:04.140 He is a thoughtful, conscientious, kind man.

00:54:12.400 Like he's got so many good manners.

00:54:20.100 People who know Duen told CBC he's a brilliant political strategist with a particular gift for communicating.

00:54:24.860 That's true.

00:54:25.860 Former Liberal Deputy Premier Natalie Normandeau worked with Duen as his co-host on Quebec City radio station FM 93.

00:54:32.180 Eric Duen, when he became a leader last year, found himself with a party that was unknown in Quebec with barely any members, Normandeau told CBC in an interview.

00:54:39.640 Yeah, there he is there in this.

00:54:40.680 He's great.

00:54:43.280 Anyway, I won't spend too much time, but let me tell you, in closing, Eric Duen took a party that was at New Blue, True Blue Ontario or Ontario party levels.

00:54:59.600 Like it was empty.

00:55:01.880 It was nothing.

00:55:03.020 It was like an empty structure.

00:55:05.120 And I didn't know that they had 52,000 members being the largest in Quebec.

00:55:09.960 And I didn't know they were in second place.

00:55:11.500 You heard me when I was going from memory.

00:55:13.240 I said they were in third place.

00:55:14.800 Eric Duen has and he's done all that in a year.

00:55:21.240 About a year.

00:55:22.020 I think he might win.

00:55:25.940 He's been careful.

00:55:27.980 He's been an opponent to the curfew, an opponent to the lockdownism, but he hasn't seemed wild about it.

00:55:35.520 I think he, at the very least, will be the next leader of the opposition in Quebec.

00:55:39.400 And he could well be the next premier.

00:55:41.480 And I'm delighted to see it.

00:55:43.080 And I tell you that because he's earned it.

00:55:51.740 And I do not know why Jim Carahelios or Derek Sloan or whoever is leading these parties has not been able to capture the moment in the same way that Eric has.

00:56:04.540 And you know what?

00:56:05.300 Eric is going to do amazing.

00:56:07.020 Boy, I had so many things I was going to talk about.

00:56:12.900 I got this whole list of stories we were going to cover, including Chrystia Freeland.

00:56:19.320 And it's almost not a good idea.

00:56:22.320 And I wanted to talk also about the big pharma talking about what he calls gene therapy.

00:56:31.740 We've got three minutes left.

00:56:33.040 Why don't we do that gene therapy video because we're not on YouTube anymore?

00:56:37.260 Let me tell you what we're talking about here.

00:56:40.620 The Pfizer-BioNTech and the Moderna vaccine.

00:56:49.100 They're a new technology called mRNA.

00:56:52.120 Maybe you've heard of RNA.

00:56:54.340 You've probably heard of DNA.

00:56:56.740 It's related.

00:56:58.440 It's a genetic term.

00:57:00.740 And I'm not going to try to explain how it works.

00:57:06.120 But let me just tell you, it's a genetic technology that has not been used before.

00:57:11.220 And that's one reason I think some people are a little nervous about it because you've got a new gene technology.

00:57:15.820 You've never used it before.

00:57:17.120 And you're just sort of skipping straight ahead into it when there's still five years more testing that the FDA has ordered.

00:57:24.020 And when the companies who are making it have been granted legal indemnification, you can't sue them.

00:57:32.080 Legal immunity.

00:57:33.200 That's a little terrifying.

00:57:33.840 And some people say, well, that's gene therapy.

00:57:38.060 You're changing my genes.

00:57:39.840 What are you doing?

00:57:40.720 I don't want this to be done to me.

00:57:42.480 And anyone who said that was called a liar, a conspiracy theorist, a fake news misinformer, and was promptly banned from most social media, which makes it incredible to hear the head of the pharmaceuticals division at Bayer, who's on their management board, give this speech.

00:58:09.240 So this isn't some critic or skeptic.

00:58:11.760 This is not Naomi Wolf or Robert F. Kennedy Jr. or some anti-vaxxer.

00:58:16.880 This is a big pharma bro exec.

00:58:20.980 And listen to how he talks about gene therapy.

00:58:25.840 Now, we're not on YouTube because if we put this on YouTube, we'd be nuked in a second.

00:58:30.000 Take a look at this.

00:58:30.660 We're really taking that leap, us as a company buyer, in cell and gene therapy, which to me is one of these examples where really we're going to make a difference, hopefully, moving forward.

00:58:44.600 There are some, ultimately, the mRNA vaccines are an example for that cell and gene therapy.

00:58:50.600 I always like to say, if we had surveyed two years ago in the public, would you be willing to take gene or cell therapy and inject it into your body, we would have probably had a 95% refusal rate.

00:59:03.840 I think this pandemic has also opened many people's eyes to innovation in a way that was maybe not possible before.

00:59:13.060 We're really taking that leap.

00:59:14.820 So, basically, they're saying, had we said, hey, guys, we've got some gene therapy for you, 95% of people would have said, yeah, pass.

00:59:25.360 I'll let you try that out on lab rats, not on me.

00:59:30.300 But he said, well, what a great opportunity we had because we got this into a couple billion arms.

00:59:36.520 And what a great opportunity.

00:59:40.200 If you had said those things, you would be banned.

00:59:44.820 What do you call it when Big Pharma literally admits it?

00:59:50.320 Now, I want to show this.

00:59:51.240 Can you go to Aaron Jin's tweet?

00:59:53.540 Because if you try it, because I found that on Twitter.

00:59:56.260 I saw that on Twitter.

00:59:58.140 But Twitter has a warning label under it.

01:00:01.380 And it will not let you retweet it.

01:00:05.020 You can tweet about it with a comment.

01:00:07.220 But if you look at how this appears on Twitter.

01:00:12.640 Yeah.

01:00:13.100 So, click on that image, if you please.

01:00:15.400 So, you see Aaron Jin is the guy.

01:00:17.960 And you just watched that video, right?

01:00:19.960 It's 41 seconds.

01:00:20.900 You just watched the whole thing.

01:00:22.000 And Aaron says, the head of pharma at Bayer proudly proclaims the COVID mRNA vaccine is gene therapy.

01:00:33.420 And that misleading the public was useful to create widespread adoption.

01:00:41.720 Would you say that's an accurate summary of what he said?

01:00:47.500 I don't think he said the word misleading.

01:00:50.540 That's an implication.

01:00:51.660 That's an interpretation.

01:00:53.280 But I'm pretty sure that says, I mean, other than the word misleading.

01:01:00.200 Like, the pharma guy didn't say, ha ha, we misled them.

01:01:04.940 He just implied that they misled them.

01:01:07.560 That they didn't mention it.

01:01:08.920 Now, can you put it back up?

01:01:09.920 Because I want to show, look at what's underneath it.

01:01:12.920 So, Twitter puts underneath it that this is misleading.

01:01:19.800 And if you try and click retweet on the original, this is a photograph of the original.

01:01:26.060 It won't let you do it.

01:01:30.200 And here's my problem in life now.

01:01:33.960 I used to be fairly trusting.

01:01:36.200 I mean, I was always skeptical.

01:01:37.540 But I wasn't paranoid.

01:01:39.920 If you ask me, do I trust journalists?

01:01:41.820 I'd say, well, you know, even journalists on the other side, if they're sort of reputable,

01:01:46.540 they won't lie because, you know, they'll get a bad reputation.

01:01:49.500 So, I would probably even trust things in left or center media.

01:01:54.100 Especially the New York Times or the Globe and Mail who, even though I disagree with their editorial outlook,

01:01:59.400 they're so big and they're so established and they're reputable and they're authoritative

01:02:03.640 and they're good people, even if I disagree with them, they're not going to lie.

01:02:07.100 And if you asked me about doctors, I'd say, well, a doctor might be a little out of date on certain things,

01:02:13.340 but they're not going to lie.

01:02:16.680 And the court, you know, I might disagree with them or agree with them, but they're not going to lie.

01:02:20.220 And academics, you know, they might be a little bit in their own planet, but they're not going to lie.

01:02:31.080 But is there a single institution that has not smashed its own reputation in the last two years?

01:02:36.260 And here's my problem.

01:02:37.380 Now, look at Twitter.

01:02:38.140 I mean, just you see it.

01:02:40.040 You see how they're lying to you in real time.

01:02:42.560 And here's my problem.

01:02:43.460 How do I take the media at face value on anything now, including, for example, this war in Iraq,

01:02:48.080 sorry, in Ukraine and Russia?

01:02:49.960 How do I know what to trust now?

01:02:53.760 You just heard that Bayer executive say, ha ha, we got people to take gene therapy

01:03:00.040 that 95% of them would never have done.

01:03:01.980 Woo hoo. 0.99

01:03:02.420 And then when you write that, Twitter says, no, that's misleading.

01:03:07.400 Like we're seeing you lying to us in real time about something that touches our own lives and health.

01:03:14.060 How can we trust you on anything?

01:03:18.540 That's the problem I have.

01:03:20.800 How can I trust the media on anything?

01:03:22.880 My friends, it's 105.

01:03:24.220 I got to go.

01:03:25.300 Great to be back with you.

01:03:26.660 Two more chats.

01:03:27.340 I'm going to blow my nose again.

01:03:28.080 I'm sorry about that.

01:03:28.740 Cindy Mc888 says, thank you, Ezra.

01:03:34.620 That's nice, Cindy.

01:03:35.640 Appreciate that.

01:03:37.540 And Jay Johnston says, hi, Ezra.

01:03:41.060 Can you guys look up Diagalon?

01:03:43.380 Diagalon is a fictional country conjured up by Jeremy McKenzie.

01:03:48.740 Ottawa is claiming him to be a threat to Canada, but in fact, he's a patriot to the max.

01:03:53.700 I mean, it sounds goofy.

01:03:58.740 You know, there were a number of feds in the trucker movement.

01:04:03.020 I identified the Line Canada as a group of feds about a year ago when I started seeing them showing up with their prefab signs in Toronto.

01:04:12.860 Out of the blue, people had never been there.

01:04:15.380 There are feds, absolutely.

01:04:16.900 I mean, look at how insane the government has done, seizing money, freezing bank accounts, bringing in a martial law.

01:04:23.420 Of course, they're going to do simpler things like having agents provocateurs and having undercover feds there.

01:04:31.020 I don't know if I'm going to spend time trying to dig around to see if Diagalon is fake or not or if Jeremy McKenzie is a fed or not.

01:04:39.220 I know that Pat King is a disreputable fed, and you can see that his damage to the movement, because he would say absurd things in obscure Facebook posts that would be left like little Easter eggs.

01:04:54.960 And then the government war rooms would go through and collect, oh, look, here's Pat King talking about bullets and talking about violence, and let's now use that to discredit 100,000 truckers.

01:05:07.540 So Pat King was a fed from long ago, and we spotted him a year ago here.

01:05:12.020 I don't think I'm going to focus on the 1% of this movement that's clearly feds, informants, agents, or just people who are a little bit nutty.

01:05:24.340 I think I'm going to focus on the 99% who really saved this country.

01:05:28.420 The truckers really saved this country.

01:05:30.340 The truckers accomplished more in two years than any other political force.

01:05:34.700 We're not free yet by any means.

01:05:36.920 The cross-border long-haul trucking mandate is still in effect.

01:05:39.820 The no-fly zone for unvaxxed people is still in effect. 0.99

01:05:43.880 Thousands of people were fired for not being vaxxed.

01:05:46.720 Millions of people were pressured into being vaxxed.

01:05:49.460 There's still ridiculous mask mandates out there.

01:05:51.940 Yes, yes, yes, yes. 0.94

01:05:53.580 The jailing pastors in Alberta, yes.

01:05:56.860 But whatever liberalization we have had over the last month is because of the truckers.

01:06:02.660 And look, and we started the show with how they've been smeared.

01:06:05.380 It's 107, I'm going to say goodbye.

01:06:06.780 I'll be slightly more organized next time.

01:06:10.840 I'll have my show at 8 p.m. today.

01:06:12.700 I'm going to talk more about this pharmacy guy on my show tonight, so tune in if you can.

01:06:17.200 If you don't know about my show every day at 8 p.m., I do a TV-style show.

01:06:22.420 I do a monologue, and then I interview a guest.

01:06:25.200 And then I read my fan mail and my hate mail, so it's sort of fun.

01:06:28.280 If you go to rebelnewsplus.com, you can subscribe to it.

01:06:32.100 It's $8 a month.

01:06:33.200 But in addition to my daily show, you also get weekly shows, including by Sheila Gunn-Reed,

01:06:38.300 David Menzies, Andrew Chapitose, Annette and Kat, who have their own show.

01:06:43.220 So there's actually four weekly shows in my daily show.

01:06:45.920 That's a lot of stuff for $8 a month, which is half the price of Netflix.

01:06:50.140 And the reason we need that, though, is because we don't take any money from Trudeau.

01:06:54.860 And I think it shows.

01:06:55.740 So I'm going to say goodbye to you now.

01:06:57.520 Thanks for tuning in.

01:06:58.360 Thanks to those folks who made rumble rants or other tips or super chats.

01:07:04.940 And have a great weekend, everybody, and we'll talk to you next week.

01:07:08.300 Bye-bye.
