Rebel News Podcast - DAILY ｜ Freeland, McKenna and CTV all promote Ukrainian neo-Nazis

00:00:00.000 Hi, everybody. Ezra Levant here. How are you doing? What a great pleasure to be back in

00:00:18.460 this chair. You know, I used to do live streams every day at 12 noon, especially when the

00:00:22.760 pandemic started. There was so much news to talk about. I couldn't get through it all

00:00:26.080 in my nighttime show. And frankly, we were all sort of stunned watching the pandemic take

00:00:32.560 effect. So I did that for a while, but I just, you know, things just went so nuts around here,

00:00:37.660 Rebel News, that I couldn't take the time. As you know, we have doubled in size in the last

00:00:43.560 year, which I think is incredible. And it's a testament to our reporters who are doing the

00:00:48.480 kind of journalism that no one else is doing. You know, our motto, telling the other side of

00:00:51.400 the story. And I think we've had a great run. But I thought, you know what, I like doing the

00:00:55.760 live streams. I want to come back, even if it's just one day a week. So what a pleasure

00:00:59.260 to be back. And thank you for that. We're streaming, of course, on YouTube, the censorship platform.

00:01:03.840 But we like to stream on Rumble as well. And we're doing that right now. We are also on

00:01:13.660 superu.net, Odyssey. And I think we might be on Getter. I sort of lose track of all of them.

00:01:20.580 But I think it's great that we're on those different platforms. That said, if we talk

00:01:26.140 about things that are too spicy, we abandon the YouTube platform because they're just

00:01:30.460 waiting for us to give them an excuse to nuke us. So if it's all the same to you, I would

00:01:40.560 encourage you to set up an account on Rumble and to get used to it. And by the way, they

00:01:46.720 are a free speech-oriented platform, which I think is preferable to YouTube, which really

00:01:52.860 doesn't give a damn about free speech. There's a lot of very strange things going on right

00:01:58.280 now in social media. I'll do my show on this tonight. But Meta, that's the name of the company

00:02:05.120 that owns Facebook and Instagram, has changed their terms of service, changed their community

00:02:12.600 guidelines. Obviously, you're not allowed to call for someone's death. You're not allowed

00:02:18.380 to call for an assassination. But they changed that. They literally changed it two days ago,

00:02:27.580 I think, or yesterday, so that they will make an exception if you're calling for the death

00:02:33.340 of Russians and Bellow-Russians, people from Belarus. They're not hiding this. They're not,

00:02:41.580 this isn't like a secret thing. They had like management meetings about it and they thoughtfully

00:02:46.260 said, yeah, we think we're going to, I don't know, what, declare war? I mean, Facebook is larger

00:02:54.340 than many companies, financially speaking. It's large, many countries rather. It's larger than many

00:03:01.360 countries in terms of its power. I mean, I don't know how many people work for Facebook. Going

00:03:05.720 from memory, I'd say it's about 100,000. So there are some countries that are smaller population-wise

00:03:10.940 like Nauru and Tuvalu, tiny little countries like that. But of course, Facebook is as powerful as a

00:03:18.280 NATO country. It may not have nuclear bombs, but it has something even more powerful, which is ideas.

00:03:26.440 I mean, Alex Jones was right when he called his company Infowars and his slogan, there's a battle

00:03:33.480 on for your mind. Don't you feel that now? So Meta, Facebook and Instagram have declared war on Russia

00:03:42.720 and Russians and on Belarus and Belarusians. And I'm just working my way actually through the rules

00:03:50.700 right now. Imagine that. Your company, YouTube has about 2 billion users with a B. So that's,

00:03:58.900 I don't know, a quarter of the humans on this earth. And of course, they don't, you know, if you're a

00:04:04.800 baby, you're not going to subscribe. So maybe there's only, maybe there's only 6 billion people

00:04:09.400 and they have one third of that. So literally one third of the humans on earth have Facebook and

00:04:15.700 Instagram. And if you make a policy saying we're going to allow calls for murder, but just against

00:04:23.200 Russians, because that's the thing to care about now. We cared about the pandemic before, but we've 1.00

00:04:28.160 all switched. Russia opens criminal case against Meta over death calls on Facebook. Yeah. So

00:04:33.620 Facebook is lucky that Russia is responding through criminal courts rather than militarily, 0.63

00:04:42.200 because Facebook is literally saying we are going to be the weapon through which people can call

00:04:49.140 for assassinations. It's crazy. Here's my point about 2 billion.

00:04:55.900 If you were some hobo on the street, drunkenly hollering out, we're going to kill Vladimir Putin. 1.00

00:05:03.800 That would not cause the death of Vladimir Putin. First of all, you're here in Canada or wherever. 1.00

00:05:08.340 Second of all, you're just a hobo who's hollering at people passing by and they go by quickly. But if 0.97

00:05:14.160 you have 2 billion people hearing you, and if they're all around the world, most people will

00:05:22.600 just slough that off or just say, okay, whatever. But how many people would actually be incited to

00:05:29.000 violence? One in a thousand? Probably not. One in a million? One in a million. If you were to say to

00:05:41.020 one million people, go kill Vladimir Putin, here's why. Or go kill a Russian. Just kill a Russian. 1.00

00:05:50.640 If you said that to a million people, would one of them say, yeah, it's a good idea. Someone who was 1.00

00:05:55.340 maybe crazy. Someone who was maybe in a drug-induced hallucination. Someone who was radicalized.

00:06:04.000 If you said it to a million people, would one out of a million do it? Maybe. But like I say,

00:06:11.880 Facebook has 2 billion users. So one in a million, that works out to 2,000 people.

00:06:18.880 Now let's say most of those people would never have a chance to kill a Russian. I mean, I guess 0.69

00:06:27.640 they could go to the Russian tea shop in their city, a Russian city. In Canada, there are 600,000

00:06:34.960 Russian Canadians. I live in Toronto. There's lots of Russian grocery stores and places with Russian

00:06:41.260 Cyrillic letters on the sign. So I think most people are geographically not near any Russians to kill

00:06:49.800 them. But there are Russians around the world. I'm not just talking about killing Putin or killing

00:06:56.260 someone there in that country. But there are Russians all around the world. And Facebook is saying it's 0.53

00:07:01.900 okay to publish on their platform to kill them. And you got 2 billion people on Facebook. Is one in a 0.92

00:07:12.060 million going to do? Even if of those 2,000 who might be activated by this, even if half of them can't

00:07:17.480 act, even if 90, let's say 90% of those can't act. Okay, you still got, you still got 20, 28 murders on

00:07:28.780 your hands. Like surely they've done the math on that. Even if it's such an extremely unlikely thing,

00:07:35.720 you are thoughtfully, willingly, carefully, corporately deciding that you will be the

00:07:43.200 information weapon to incite violence against Russia. And hopefully 99% of people do nothing with

00:07:50.200 it. Or hopefully 99.9999% of people do nothing with it. But that still leaves dozens or hundreds

00:07:59.520 who will. I think it's shocking. I think it's shocking. And I think it's companies acting like

00:08:07.420 countries. And the thing about that is that other countries, when, when, if a company declares war on

00:08:16.320 a country, we just saw the global mail headline there, that Russia is going to criminal court.

00:08:22.340 Okay, that's very lucky for Facebook that they're just going to court. Because if, if you are a

00:08:31.060 terrorist organization, we have terrorist organizations that are put on, you know, in Canada,

00:08:37.000 it's called the public safety department. In the United States, it's called homeland security.

00:08:41.020 There are terrorist lists of criminal organizations. Canada has that blacklist. The United States has

00:08:49.300 that blacklist. Many countries do. The United Kingdom does. Do you want to call that up? Do you

00:08:53.660 want to type in public safety terrorist list Canada? Just to show people, because maybe people don't know

00:08:59.640 that. So in Canada, there's probably close to 100 organizations that are criminal banned. Like

00:09:06.460 they're, they're, they're, they're sort of, I think they're even lower in status. Like there's the

00:09:11.840 hell's angels and there's a different mafia families, but terrorist groups are lower in terms

00:09:17.880 of legal. They're hostess humani. I forget the, the Latin phrase there. They're, they are an enemy

00:09:25.720 of all mankind. Yeah. Listed terrorist entities. Thank you very much. Counter. Okay. So click on

00:09:32.220 currently listed entities. You see that link there. Yeah. Click on that. So this is, let's just read

00:09:41.120 it here. This webpage has been prepared for reference only. Users should consult the ads,

00:09:49.840 blah, blah, blah. Several of the listed entities are known under different names. Anyway, so here they

00:09:54.840 are. Now you can see a lot of them are in Arabic, Al Qaeda. You see that there, but there's all different

00:09:59.540 kinds of Al Qaeda. Al-Shabaab. They're, they're active in Nigeria, if I'm not mistaken. Al-Aqsa

00:10:05.240 Martyrs Brigade. I see a white group there, the Aryan Strike Force. I've never heard of that before.

00:10:15.960 You know, ELN. I, I'm trying to remember what country that's in. So this is a list of terrorist

00:10:20.860 groups. You can see Hamas is on there. You see Hezbollah, Indian Mujahideen. So most of these are

00:10:26.600 Islamic groups, but there's a few others on there. I don't, lots of Islamic states. Anyhow, thanks very

00:10:32.200 much. It's a, it's a long list, right? I think that the Tamil Tigers are on there. I can't recall.

00:10:39.320 So those are, those are like pirates. You can like, basically, I mean, you can almost kill a pirate

00:10:45.280 on site. That was the law. You have a drumhead trial. They were outside. When you call someone

00:10:50.860 outlaw, that means they're outside the protection of the law themselves. Bounty hunters used to go

00:10:57.300 after outlaws. Is Facebook about to become an outlaw? Is Facebook about to transform itself

00:11:05.720 from a corporation into not a country, but a rogue extremist group that's literally calling for

00:11:11.180 violence against Russia? They're lucky all Russia is doing is suing them. Yeah. Imagine if Facebook

00:11:17.860 was put on Russia's list. Now you might say, so what? Try and collect all of Facebook's assets

00:11:23.740 are in America or wherever, and they would never uphold the Russian court ruling. Well,

00:11:29.800 Zuckerberg should be careful because if you call for the death of a Russian oligarch, let's say,

00:11:37.300 and if that death happens, you better be careful that what comes around doesn't go around. If you're

00:11:46.280 declaring, if you're declaring, if you're in the business of declaring war now, don't be shocked if

00:11:52.740 someone declares war against you, especially if you're going after people who are authoritarian and,

00:11:57.980 and violent, and Putin is a former KGB agent. I just find that crazy. But I, I'm less concerned about

00:12:05.820 Putin and Russian oligarchs than I am about what this says about Facebook and Instagram here in

00:12:12.260 Canada and the United States in the West. And Zuckerberg has this creepy idea called the metaverse.

00:12:20.820 Do you want to throw up his little promo ad he did? He did this little promo for the metaverse,

00:12:26.600 which is basically a virtual reality world. And he wants everyone to trade in real life

00:12:33.360 for this metaverse, he calls it, where you have real estate in the metaverse. It's all just a,

00:12:40.960 a computer simulation. It's like the Sims, SimCity, that old video game. He thinks he's made it and

00:12:48.400 you just put on, uh, this headset and you're living in the metaverse and guess who owns the metaverse?

00:12:54.800 Oh, that's right. He owns everything in it. Yeah. Turn up the volume on this.

00:13:00.880 So, so this is what he created virtually. It has things that are only possible virtually,

00:13:05.920 and it has an incredibly inspiring view of whatever you find most beautiful.

00:13:12.560 Hey, are you coming? Yeah. Just got to find something to wear.

00:13:15.680 All right. Perfect.

00:13:27.360 Oh, hey, Mark. Hey, what's going on?

00:13:29.280 Hi, Mark. What's up, Mark?

00:13:30.960 Whoa, we're floating in space? Who made this place? It's awesome.

00:13:34.560 Right? It's from a crater. I met in L.A.

00:13:37.280 Uh, this place is amazing.

00:13:40.560 Boz, is that you? Of course it's me. You know I had to be the robot, man.

00:13:44.240 I thought I was supposed to be the robot.

00:13:47.600 Whoa. I knew you were bluffing.

00:13:52.960 Hey, wait. Where is Naomi? Let's call her.

00:13:55.360 Yes, Naomi.

00:13:59.760 Hey, should we deal you in?

00:14:00.880 Hey. Sorry, I'm running late, but you've got to see what we're checking out.

00:14:04.080 There's an artist going around Soho hiding AR pieces for people to find.

00:14:10.160 3D street art? That's cool.

00:14:12.240 Send that link over so we can all look at it.

00:14:15.520 This is stunning.

00:14:16.320 Dude, that is something.

00:14:18.400 That's awesome. Wow.

00:14:19.520 I love the movement.

00:14:20.480 Wait, it's disappearing.

00:14:22.080 This is amazing.

00:14:23.360 Hold on. I'll tip the artist and they'll extend it.

00:14:26.000 Wow.

00:14:27.840 If you guys like it here, I have another room that you're going to love.

00:14:30.480 Check out this forest room.

00:14:32.560 Huh, let's see it.

00:14:34.640 Koi fish that fly? That's new.

00:14:37.280 This is wild.

00:14:39.200 Hey, one sec, Boz. It's Priscilla.

00:14:41.440 Hey, you have to see this. Beast is going crazy.

00:14:45.360 Oh, I love that guy.

00:14:47.680 We've got to show that to the kids.

00:14:49.440 Can you also send that to my dad?

00:14:50.800 I'll message him.

00:14:52.000 All right. See you at home.

00:14:54.160 This place is great, Boz, but there's something I got to get back to.

00:14:57.520 All right. So that's a glimpse of a few ways that we're going to be able to get together and socialize in the metaverse.

00:15:02.640 Thanks very much, Olivia.

00:15:07.440 I think Mark Zuckerberg is one of the creepiest people around.

00:15:10.000 I don't believe, as some people do, that he is a lizard. 0.94

00:15:13.680 I think he just has the social skills of a lizard. 0.96

00:15:17.200 I think he is a megalomaniac. 1.00

00:15:19.120 I think he's a sociopath. 1.00

00:15:22.080 I think he's a liar. 0.98

00:15:24.080 Can you I just sent you, you know, can you I'm going to maybe I can find it maybe faster than you. 0.93

00:15:32.160 I'm just going on to YouTube.

00:15:33.520 Mark Zuckerberg sweating, sweating interview.

00:15:38.960 This is great interview.

00:15:40.000 Yeah. Can you do that?

00:15:41.360 Mark Zuckerberg privacy interview.

00:15:43.520 I can find it for you.

00:15:44.480 I bet you could find it just as quick.

00:15:46.400 He was at a a tech show about a decade ago.

00:15:52.720 And they asked him about his lies and they asked him about violating his.

00:15:57.680 Have you found it there?

00:15:58.320 Do you want me to send it to you?

00:16:01.680 Yeah.

00:16:02.080 Yeah.

00:16:02.400 He's sitting in a red chair and he's answering questions about privacy.

00:16:06.400 Absolutely devastating.

00:16:08.320 Yeah, yeah, I'll send you the link.

00:16:18.080 He's he's a little more careful now.

00:16:19.840 He doesn't do unscripted interviews with people who might ask actual questions.

00:16:26.160 You see that link I just sent you there, Olivia?

00:16:30.160 I just want to show you a little bit about.

00:16:31.600 So so so so anyway, you saw he has this world that is basically a virtual reality world and you

00:16:40.960 dress up as you like, you know, as a robot or as a flying fish or something or whatever.

00:16:47.360 And you can meet in this digital space and he owns it.

00:16:54.880 And obviously he'll make money off you the way he does on Facebook, which is by selling everything he knows about you.

00:17:02.400 And there will obviously be markets and he'll he'll there'll be commerce to do in his metaverse.

00:17:07.920 He basically wants to build another world where he's the emperor and he can watch everything and he controls everything.

00:17:16.000 And this is the guy.

00:17:18.800 Who just greenlit calls for murder.

00:17:20.880 How would you like him being not just the president, but the god of your world?

00:17:30.800 Go ahead and play that that clip. 0.96

00:17:32.480 I want to show what a sweaty little loser he is when asked about violating his users privacy. 0.98

00:17:37.600 Look at this guy. 0.95

00:17:38.640 Do you feel like it's a backlash or that you feel like you're violating people's privacy?

00:17:42.640 Do you feel like you're adequately portrayed as a because they want to wonder about the person who actually created this thing?

00:17:50.000 Yeah.

00:17:50.240 I mean, I, you know, a lot of stuff happened, happened along the way.

00:17:54.480 I think, um, you know, there were real learning points and turning points along the way in terms of,

00:18:02.560 in terms of building things.

00:18:04.560 You know, it really went from this position very early on where we were just in this college dorm room to,

00:18:12.560 we moved out to California.

00:18:13.680 It was a few friends and me and, um, you know, it just kind of had this project feel for a while.

00:18:20.480 And there was this real turning point when, um, when companies started trying to buy the company

00:18:25.680 for a huge amount of money.

00:18:26.960 And, you know, I had to kind of get my friends together and we had to decide what was it that

00:18:30.640 we really cared about and what was it that we wanted to do?

00:18:33.600 Um, and, you know, we decided not to take those offers.

00:18:36.400 And, you know, to me, a lot of that decision was that what we wanted to do and what we wanted to

00:18:41.440 spend, you know, a big part of our lives doing was just continuing to push and, um, and, and kind of

00:18:47.600 build products that help people share information, um, build products that help people stay connected.

00:18:52.320 Um, and that's really what we're spending our time doing. And, you know, I, I think, you know,

00:18:56.640 there's just been a lot of, a lot of space between that early stuff and where we are now.

00:19:00.880 Um, if I could, if I knew what I knew now, then, then I hope I wouldn't have made those mistakes, but

00:19:07.360 I can't go back and change the past. I can only do what we think is the right thing going forward.

00:19:11.920 So before we move off this privacy thing, and I thought that was a fascinating answer.

00:19:18.080 It's okay. You want to take off the hoodie?

00:19:19.520 No, I never take off the hoodie.

00:19:20.640 I know you don't. What's with that?

00:19:22.320 There's a group of women in the audience that wish you would. 0.66

00:19:24.400 No, no.

00:19:26.400 Girls? 0.96

00:19:27.360 Whoa.

00:19:29.440 All right.

00:19:30.160 Sorry. Yeah, that's okay.

00:19:32.160 Um, can you explain what this instant personalization thing was that you did and why you did it and

00:19:38.160 what was the, what's the value of it to your users?

00:19:41.840 Maybe I should take off the hoodie.

00:19:43.040 Take off the hoodie.

00:19:43.680 Go ahead. 0.98

00:19:43.920 What the hell? 0.99

00:19:44.480 Do you want to? 0.99

00:19:45.040 Go ahead.

00:19:46.400 Here.

00:19:47.680 You get someone.

00:19:50.480 You all right?

00:19:51.280 Yeah.

00:19:51.760 This is a great moment in internet history.

00:19:54.240 What?

00:19:57.120 All right.

00:19:59.280 Um, what are we going to do with the mic?

00:20:00.720 Put it on your...

00:20:01.680 All right.

00:20:02.000 Put it on the collar of your t-shirt.

00:20:04.160 Do you want some...

00:20:04.960 Do you need some help?

00:20:05.680 No, I'm good.

00:20:06.560 All right.

00:20:06.800 Okay.

00:20:09.200 Sorry about the...

00:20:10.080 Sorry about being quiet, Mark.

00:20:11.440 No, it's...

00:20:12.160 We're not even yelling at you.

00:20:13.280 Yeah.

00:20:14.720 Yet.

00:20:15.920 We're not going to yell at you.

00:20:16.880 No, of course not.

00:20:17.760 That is a warm hoodie.

00:20:19.840 Yeah.

00:20:20.320 No, it's a thick hoodie.

00:20:21.280 We...

00:20:21.600 It's, um, it's a company hoodie.

00:20:22.800 We print our mission on the inside.

00:20:24.560 What?

00:20:24.960 Oh, really?

00:20:25.680 Oh, my God.

00:20:25.840 The inside of the hoodie, everybody.

00:20:27.920 Take a moment.

00:20:28.880 What is it?

00:20:30.000 Making the...

00:20:31.040 Making the world more open and connected.

00:20:32.560 Oh, my God.

00:20:33.520 It's like a secret cult.

00:20:34.640 Look at that.

00:20:37.520 Look at that.

00:20:38.080 Making the world open and connected.

00:20:40.720 Stream graph platform.

00:20:42.960 And this weird symbol in the middle that is probably for the Illuminati.

00:20:49.440 Oh, 2010.

00:20:50.400 No, it's 2010.

00:20:52.400 Oh, no.

00:20:55.040 Yeah, you know, um, and that was an interesting clip.

00:20:58.240 There was...

00:20:58.720 There were actually some other clips there where he talks about violating privacy. 0.97

00:21:04.880 He's a sociopath. 0.93

00:21:05.840 It's obvious. 0.87

00:21:06.400 I mean, I'm not saying that the movie The Social Network was a documentary, but I think it was

00:21:13.440 true enough to the facts to watch how he broke his word, how he reneged on deals,

00:21:19.840 how he stole intellectual property from everyone he met, how he is an inveterate liar who will do 0.85

00:21:28.320 and say anything. 0.68

00:21:29.280 And when he's caught, he goes, oh, sorry.

00:21:31.440 Well, that was a learning point and a turning point.

00:21:34.160 And I know I'm getting a little sweaty, but that was a learning point and a turning point.

00:21:39.120 And yeah, I've done some things in the past.

00:21:42.720 So anyways, that's the guy who's building the metaverse.

00:21:48.960 There was a brief moment a few years back where there was this

00:21:54.080 idea that he was going to run for public office.

00:21:56.720 I don't know if you remember that, Olivia.

00:21:58.080 He hired some consultants.

00:22:00.880 He went out into the country to try and humanize himself.

00:22:04.880 He was filmed, I think, feeding some farm animals and going to, you know, meet with regular people.

00:22:15.440 And he did that bizarre.

00:22:17.920 Can you go to YouTube and grab Mark Zuckerberg's sweet baby rays?

00:22:23.440 Do you know what I'm talking about?

00:22:25.440 Like he would, he had, he hired these political consultants and they started polling and they

00:22:30.800 started trying to humanize him.

00:22:33.280 And he abandoned that, I think because it was hopeless.

00:22:36.880 I think a lot of people actually hate Facebook, even though they use it.

00:22:42.400 They realize how gross Mark Zuckerberg is.

00:22:45.520 A lot of that is frankly unfair because of the memes, but there's a deeper truth underneath it. 0.84

00:22:51.440 Do you have that sweet baby rays?

00:22:52.720 Like it was just an example of how weird this guy is.

00:22:55.840 And, and weirdness is not a crime.

00:22:58.560 I mean, we're all weird in our own ways and, and we like to be able to be weird in our own ways

00:23:03.520 and eccentric and I, I think there's too much homogeneity, but his weirdness I think is a sociopathy.

00:23:10.400 It's, um, it's not like a quirkiness.

00:23:14.160 I think there's an evil there and, um, I could send you what I'm talking about.

00:23:20.400 Oh yeah, just, yeah, just throw it up for a second just to show this was, yeah.

00:23:25.520 Hey everyone, we are live from my backyard where I am smoking a brisket and some ribs.

00:23:36.640 I am, I'm making meats now, smoking these meats here.

00:23:40.800 Our little meat smoking.

00:23:42.640 It's smoking.

00:23:43.520 So I'm the meat chef.

00:23:46.640 Yeah, someone asked me, do I smoke meat?

00:23:48.800 Smoking meat, smoking these meats.

00:23:50.880 Smoking meats earlier in the day.

00:23:52.560 Smoking these meats.

00:23:53.600 Just set the charcoal up and you set the, the wood chips up.

00:23:57.040 And then smoking meats, grilling, grilling meats.

00:23:59.200 Good smoky flavor.

00:24:00.560 Smoke a brisket for like 12 hours.

00:24:02.400 You smoke lemon chicken.

00:24:03.680 Smoke salmon.

00:24:04.320 You'll love it.

00:24:05.520 Bison sirloin.

00:24:06.320 Ribs and sausage.

00:24:07.280 So I'm looking forward to that.

00:24:12.000 Today we got a brisket on the big guy.

00:24:14.880 Then some pork ribs on, on, on, on the green egg.

00:24:22.560 Meat like a brisket.

00:24:26.320 I got ribs in there.

00:24:27.360 Finishing off the brisket and the ribs.

00:24:29.280 And I'm just sitting in our backyard, finishing off this brisket and these ribs.

00:24:34.960 But hopefully for Canadian Thanksgiving, you get to eat a lot of brisket and ribs.

00:24:38.160 How many of you guys are eating brisket and ribs tonight?

00:24:41.440 Brisket and, and ribs.

00:24:43.920 They taste doubly better when, um, when you hunted the animal yourself.

00:24:47.440 So what are, what are you guys making for dinner?

00:24:50.240 Brisket and ribs, I hope.

00:24:51.600 Delicious.

00:24:52.160 Brisket and ribs.

00:24:52.960 The ribs and the brisket need to be eaten.

00:24:56.240 I want to try your brisket.

00:24:57.520 I want to try my brisket.

00:24:59.360 It's a pretty tough cut of meat.

00:25:00.960 The ribs and the brisket.

00:25:02.320 Are you excited to have a rib tonight?

00:25:04.320 I want my baby back, baby back ribs.

00:25:06.480 Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

00:25:07.600 Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce.

00:25:09.440 That is going on the ribs.

00:25:10.720 Sweet Baby Ray's.

00:25:12.160 Sweet Baby Ray's.

00:25:13.120 The Sweet Baby Ray's.

00:25:14.080 Sweet Baby Ray's is very good.

00:25:15.440 Sweet Baby Ray's.

00:25:16.640 Sweet Baby Ray's.

00:25:17.520 We have just applied the Sweet Baby Ray's.

00:25:19.920 Sweet Baby Ray's.

00:25:21.120 Sweet Baby Ray's.

00:25:22.000 Maybe throw some Sweet Baby Ray's on the ribs and take it from there. 0.99

00:25:27.360 She's waiting for her ribs.

00:25:28.560 I mean, she, she knows what's coming.

00:25:30.160 And Sweet Baby Ray's.

00:25:36.320 So that's, uh, that's, that's pretty good.

00:25:39.680 Who doesn't like ribs?

00:25:40.640 Everyone likes ribs.

00:25:41.680 Everyone likes ribs.

00:25:42.400 Excuse me, B.

00:25:43.120 Yeah, no, this is, this is what Facebook Live is, is for.

00:25:46.560 Just hanging out while you're sitting in your backyard, uh, waiting for your brisket

00:25:51.440 and your ribs to finish smoking.

00:25:52.800 You know, being socially awkward or on the spectrum is not my problem with Mark Zuckerberg.

00:26:04.400 Um, did you, did you get that email I sent you of when he, when he briefly thought he was running for, for office and he, and he visited this farm and he, he like, you throw, throw that image up there.

00:26:15.280 Um, my beef with Mark Zuckerberg is not that he's socially awkward.

00:26:21.200 It's not that he has no sense of humor and doesn't quite understand what it's like to be a person.

00:26:27.600 Um, my beef is his amorality, uh, and his immorality, his promise breaking, his violation of privacy.

00:26:37.680 Um, his, um, his, I think lying is his normal state.

00:26:44.560 Maybe that's how it is if you want to be worth a hundred billion dollars or whatever he's worth now.

00:26:51.600 I think you need a kind of viciousness that is not normal.

00:26:56.000 You can earn a million dollars through hard work.

00:26:59.440 You can earn 10 million dollars through hard work.

00:27:03.520 I think if you get to a certain level though,

00:27:08.400 the amount of money you have attracts such vicious vipers and such vultures and such operators, such

00:27:16.880 hardened criminals.

00:27:18.240 I might even say that you yourself must adopt those vicious tactics or you'll be devoured. 0.93

00:27:23.360 I don't think you can be a billionaire without being a brutal person.

00:27:32.000 Now, maybe you can offset that by doing some good things as well.

00:27:35.120 And the reason I say that is because if you get a certain amount of dough,

00:27:39.200 it will attract the worst people in the world to come and get you.

00:27:42.720 So maybe I'm,

00:27:44.800 maybe I'm mistaking cause and effect.

00:27:46.960 Maybe Mark Zuckerberg is just simply a socially awkward 0.99

00:27:49.760 idiot who, when he realized that he had built something worth 1.00

00:27:55.280 countless billions of dollars, 1.00

00:27:57.520 decided, well, I'm not going to let this be stolen from me.

00:28:00.080 I'm going to steal it from them.

00:28:01.920 I'm not going to let them stab me in the back. 1.00

00:28:03.760 I'm going to stab all them in the back. 1.00

00:28:05.840 Maybe that's how it is. 1.00

00:28:06.800 But I think the result is the same. 0.99

00:28:09.120 Mark Zuckerberg is one of the worst people in the world.

00:28:12.480 And do we put on the screen? 0.86

00:28:14.080 I was sort of daydreaming.

00:28:14.960 Did you put on the screen his farming thing there?

00:28:17.680 Yeah, I'm going to show the pictures too.

00:28:20.880 So, um, yeah.

00:28:22.400 So he went on this tour.

00:28:24.560 Yeah.

00:28:24.800 Just click on those pictures.

00:28:26.960 That's just me riding.

00:28:28.400 And that's an old fashioned tractor, by the way.

00:28:30.160 No, no farmers really use those tractors.

00:28:33.280 Haven't for, you know, almost a hundred years.

00:28:35.840 Yeah.

00:28:36.080 Next image.

00:28:38.000 That's just me.

00:28:39.360 Family dinner at noon.

00:28:40.720 When do you wake up?

00:28:41.600 4 a.m.

00:28:42.240 I catch your schedules.

00:28:45.040 I'm so normal.

00:28:46.720 Next one.

00:28:47.520 Yeah, that's me.

00:28:48.480 I'm feeding him.

00:28:49.520 This calf loves me now.

00:28:52.720 Oh, yeah.

00:28:53.520 This is a kitten.

00:28:54.640 I'm not going to eat it.

00:28:55.920 Don't call me a lizard.

00:28:57.280 See, a lizard would eat it. 0.70

00:28:58.640 I'm not eating it.

00:29:00.000 So I'm not a lizard.

00:29:01.440 And this is me walking with someone.

00:29:03.920 I'm just good old friends now.

00:29:06.480 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:29:08.400 Oh, yeah.

00:29:09.280 Totally normal guy.

00:29:11.280 Totally normal day.

00:29:14.400 So I don't think his attempt to run for office got off the ground.

00:29:19.200 But really, why would you run for office if you're Mark Zuckerberg?

00:29:24.000 You don't.

00:29:24.880 When you're the president of a company that you control, your word is law.

00:29:30.400 You just say something and it is done.

00:29:33.200 And if the person doesn't accept it, they're fired.

00:29:37.200 Or sued or cheated out of their shares, in his case.

00:29:42.400 You are, you know, within the constraints of the law, a king.

00:29:47.680 And as we've seen with him, he doesn't even feel himself constrained by law.

00:29:51.760 And he is in multiple jurisdictions around the world.

00:29:54.640 So he plays one law off against the other.

00:29:56.880 And Facebook is one of the largest political donors and lobbyists in the world.

00:30:01.280 So we can change the law or get excuses from the law as it needs.

00:30:06.320 Why would someone like that want to be merely president?

00:30:10.880 When you're president of Facebook, you rule an empire of two billion people around the globe.

00:30:16.560 The sun never sets on the Facebook empire.

00:30:18.720 If you're merely the president of the United States, you only rule America.

00:30:24.080 And you don't rule alone.

00:30:25.760 There's checks and balances.

00:30:26.960 There's Congress.

00:30:27.840 There's your own party.

00:30:28.880 There's the media.

00:30:30.240 There's the courts.

00:30:31.520 There's checks on your power.

00:30:33.120 There's other countries that are your rivals.

00:30:35.920 Why would Mark Zuckerberg take a step down from being the emperor of Facebook to be merely president?

00:30:42.320 Especially when he has to do such cringy things as talk to the poors. 1.00

00:30:47.360 Look at me.

00:30:47.920 I'm with a farmer, everybody.

00:30:51.600 So I think Mark Zuckerberg has abandoned his plans for politics.

00:30:56.160 And instead of being merely the president of the United States or president of the country of Facebook,

00:31:02.560 he wants to be the god of the metaverse.

00:31:08.640 And to create this entire new space, this entire new community where he owns all the rules,

00:31:17.920 where he owns all the terms of service, where he controls everything,

00:31:22.080 where he controls all the information, where he knows all the information,

00:31:24.800 where everything that's said is recorded, everything said to you, everything said by you,

00:31:32.000 everything you do, he owns it.

00:31:36.160 He sells you, he sells what you say, he sells access to you.

00:31:41.840 Wasn't that creepy, that metaverse?

00:31:44.640 Olivia, I just sent you a meme of someone in a dirty chair with a VR headset on,

00:31:50.240 because the metaverse is not real, of course.

00:31:53.680 Can you put that meme up for a bit?

00:31:55.440 I'm not sure if I click send it.

00:31:57.200 Did I click send on that email?

00:31:59.600 It's someone wearing the headset.

00:32:11.600 No, just put it up here.

00:32:12.560 I'll get to the chats in a second.

00:32:16.800 Because if you're in the real world, you're in the real world,

00:32:19.760 and if you're like me, you're addicted to your phone.

00:32:22.000 So half the time you're looking at your phone like this.

00:32:25.760 But yeah, just pump that up.

00:32:27.600 I just saw this.

00:32:29.680 And so there's someone just literally sitting in a corner on the floor, miserable. 0.81

00:32:36.720 It's a dirty place.

00:32:37.760 It looks dirty.

00:32:38.560 And he's near an outlet, and he's wearing his virtual reality visor.

00:32:47.280 Because his life is terrible.

00:32:50.640 But maybe there's something more wonderful in it.

00:32:56.480 Can I airdrop something to you?

00:32:58.800 Is it Rebels iMac or Justin's iMac?

00:33:05.760 Yeah.

00:33:06.560 I'm going to send you a parody video that's not very much a parody.

00:33:16.400 Because, whoops.

00:33:21.040 All right, I'm sending it on Slack.

00:33:22.720 The promise of the paradise of the artificial reality is the pull.

00:33:34.240 But the push is you live a miserable life.

00:33:37.600 You don't own anything, and you'll be happy.

00:33:41.920 You know, that's the World Economic Forum, transhumanism thing.

00:33:46.560 You'll own nothing, and you'll be happy.

00:33:50.640 So, Zuckerberg says, come with me to this amazing paradise where you can be anything,

00:33:55.920 say anything, do anything.

00:33:58.480 Footnote, small print, Zuckerberg controls everything in the terms of service,

00:34:03.360 and he can change it on a whim.

00:34:04.880 And maybe he'll allow murder in the metaverse, like he's allowing murder towards the Russians.

00:34:11.200 That's the pull, a paradise-like world, an Eden, where he's God.

00:34:18.720 But the push is that crappy world where in real life you're poor, you have no social connections with anyone,

00:34:25.920 you don't have relationships, you don't have property, you don't have a physical life.

00:34:30.320 It's all the life of the mind, but not your own mind.

00:34:35.120 You're part of the artificial intelligence mind.

00:34:37.920 I just sent you, Olivia, and I think you have it there.

00:34:42.480 Sort of a, like showed you the, that video we showed that was from The Guardian, they basically ripped it,

00:34:48.320 was his official pitch for the metaverse.

00:34:53.200 But here's someone who did, I think, a slightly dystopian riff on it that I think is probably more realistic.

00:34:59.680 Take a look.

00:35:11.360 Starting with the most important experience of all, Sweet Baby Rays.

00:35:17.280 I like barbecuing, and I guess I'm a Sweet Baby Rays fanboy.

00:35:29.680 You are right.

00:35:31.680 Mark Zuckerberg offers you his Sweet Baby Rays barbecue sauce.

00:35:35.440 Nod your metaverse licensed headset to accept.

00:35:37.680 Shake your metaverse licensed headset to decline.

00:35:41.680 Head shake detected.

00:35:43.680 You are about to decline Mark's offer.

00:35:45.680 Nod your metaverse licensed headset to confirm the rejection.

00:35:47.680 Shake your metaverse licensed headset head nod detected.

00:35:51.680 You decline Mark's offer.

00:35:53.680 Mark did not like that.

00:35:55.680 A little bit funny, that allusion to Sweet Baby Rays, but I think that the reality may have some elements of that.

00:36:13.680 Oh, you're going to vote for Trump?

00:36:15.680 You said the word Trump in the metaverse.

00:36:17.680 You're banned, unless you buy your way out maybe by buying some Sweet Baby Rays or something.

00:36:23.680 Would you want to live in a world where Mark Zuckerberg was the president?

00:36:31.680 I think the answer to that is probably no.

00:36:33.680 But at least in that world you would have real things like courts and maybe some media and maybe some businesses that are not his.

00:36:43.680 But if you were to enter into the metaverse, everything is his.

00:36:50.680 Every idea, everything spoken, a record of everything.

00:36:56.680 And the law itself, the rules of life itself are his terms of service that he can change at will, as we just saw him.

00:37:08.680 I think Mark Zuckerberg is evil, but really how much more evil is he than the other tycoons?

00:37:19.680 Twitter or Amazon or Apple even.

00:37:27.680 I find it troubling.

00:37:29.680 It's very odd to me that he can green light calls for murder.

00:37:34.680 I understand why that's being investigated by Russia.

00:37:39.680 I don't know why that's not being investigated in America.

00:37:42.680 You'd think it might be.

00:37:44.680 All right.

00:37:45.680 Let's go to some questions.

00:37:46.680 Thank you for letting me go on a bit of a Zuckerberg tear there.

00:37:53.680 All right.

00:37:54.680 So I have here some super chats.

00:37:56.680 Let's start with N Mark. 0.96

00:37:58.680 Five bucks.

00:37:59.680 I'm happy that Jesse Smollett, the white man who does have a white daddy, is going to jail for 150 days and pay $150,000. 0.98

00:38:09.680 And then there's a comment about him being gay.

00:38:11.680 Jesse Smollett is a privileged, successful man from a privileged, successful family.

00:38:20.680 I don't know why he did that hate crime hoax.

00:38:23.680 If it was to give his career a boost or if it was for political reasons, you might know that he consulted with Kamala Harris about some anti-lynching law.

00:38:33.680 And maybe he basically thought, well, I'll do a little scene, but it won't be on a TV show.

00:38:39.680 It'll be on the street and I'll make the case for an anti-lynching law because I'm a dramatic actor.

00:38:45.680 But it blew up in his face and he's off to jail.

00:38:48.680 Do you have a clip of him in court where he says, I'm not suicidal.

00:38:52.680 I'm not suicidal.

00:38:53.680 Do you have that clip?

00:38:55.680 It was a little weird.

00:38:56.680 I mean, I think you say I'm not suicidal when you're worried that someone's going to try and kill you and make it look like a suicide.

00:39:06.680 He repeated it.

00:39:07.680 Maybe he was still acting.

00:39:08.680 Maybe this is part of a movie he's doing or a documentary about himself.

00:39:12.680 Here, take a look at this.

00:39:13.680 No, I would just like to say to your honor that I am not suicidal.

00:39:19.680 That's what I was about to say.

00:39:21.680 Okay.

00:39:22.680 I am not suicidal.

00:39:23.680 Okay.

00:39:24.680 I am not suicidal.

00:39:26.680 I am innocent and I am not suicidal.

00:39:29.680 If I did this, then it means that I stuck my fist in the fears of black Americans in this country for over 400 years and the fears of the LGBTQ community.

00:39:38.680 Your honor, I respect you and I respect the jury, but I did not do this.

00:39:42.680 And I am not suicidal.

00:39:43.680 And if anything happens to me when I go in there, I did not do it to myself.

00:39:48.680 And you must all know that.

00:39:50.680 I respect you, your honor.

00:39:52.680 I respect your decision.

00:39:54.680 Jail time.

00:39:59.680 I am not suicidal.

00:40:00.680 Okay.

00:40:04.680 It's a little weird.

00:40:05.680 He's still claiming he didn't do it.

00:40:07.680 He's talking about it like it was an LGBTQ plus moment.

00:40:12.680 I don't think it was.

00:40:13.680 It's just a little weird.

00:40:14.680 I don't know.

00:40:15.680 Maybe like, maybe he's just a strange guy.

00:40:18.680 Maybe there's nothing deeper or larger than that.

00:40:20.680 But boy, every political leader in the world chimed in.

00:40:24.680 All of them happily duped.

00:40:26.680 I mean, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, pretty much every senior Democrat weighed in on it and many Canadians too.

00:40:35.680 C1 CAS chips in three bucks.

00:40:38.680 I wonder if some of the Azov Battalion were in the imported security forces that confronted the peaceful truckers in Ottawa.

00:40:46.680 Yeah, I did a show last night at some length talking about the Azov Battalion.

00:40:51.680 And it's weird to me that they do use Nazi symbols.

00:40:57.680 They do say things that are Nazi-like.

00:40:59.680 Ukraine has a history of Nazi paramilitaries going back to Hitler's time.

00:41:05.680 They assisted the Nazi, the German SS in exterminating a large number of Jews.

00:41:12.680 It's very weird to me that an actual group of Nazis like that is permitted to be part of the Ukrainian military.

00:41:18.680 I mean, in Canada, people throw the word Nazi around like an insult, but it's not really true.

00:41:24.680 There really are no Nazis in Canada.

00:41:26.680 There's some dress up Nazis.

00:41:28.680 There's some neo-Nazis who are basically live action role playing.

00:41:31.680 They get a tattoo and whatever, but they're they're not actual Nazis.

00:41:35.680 They're not actually like in in Ukraine.

00:41:38.680 You have military battalions with tanks, with guns, with uniforms, with Nazi flags.

00:41:45.680 It's shocking.

00:41:46.680 I think it may be the only place in the world where that happens.

00:41:49.680 And Chrystia Freeland hangs out with these people, wears their banners.

00:41:56.680 But it's not just Freeland.

00:41:58.680 The Canadian.

00:41:59.680 Do you have those Ottawa citizen stories that we mentioned yesterday?

00:42:02.680 I don't know if you have those handy.

00:42:04.680 It's not just Chrystia Freeland who herself is a bit of an extremist on this stuff.

00:42:08.680 The Canadian government met with the Azov battalion and they knew it was iffy because they were worried.

00:42:15.680 Yeah.

00:42:16.680 Canadian officials who met with Ukrainian unit linked to neo-Nazis feared exposure by news media.

00:42:22.680 A year before the meeting, Canada's Joint Task Force Ukraine produced a briefing on the Azov battalion acknowledging its links to Nazi ideology.

00:42:33.680 Now, scroll down.

00:42:34.680 Yeah, scroll slowly.

00:42:35.680 Show this helmet here.

00:42:36.680 Like they literally have like that's a Nazi swastika.

00:42:40.680 That's crazy.

00:42:41.680 Scroll down a bit.

00:42:43.680 And there's a link that I want you to go to if you'd be.

00:42:47.680 Yeah.

00:42:48.680 Also, that one there.

00:42:49.680 Allegations.

00:42:50.680 They're right there.

00:42:51.680 So that's one story.

00:42:52.680 But here's another one.

00:42:54.680 Allegations of Canadian troops training neo-Nazis and war criminals sparks military review.

00:42:59.680 A review into how Canada approves the foreign military personnel trains should be ready by early next year, but parts of the study will need to remain secret.

00:43:08.680 Let me just read the first paragraph of this.

00:43:10.680 It's shocking.

00:43:11.680 A review into how Canada approves the foreign military personnel trains should be ready by early next year, but parts of the study will need to remain secret, according to the Department of National Defense.

00:43:24.680 The review falls concerns raised by Jewish groups of the alleged involvement of Canadian troops in training neo-Nazis in Ukraine, as well as warnings by soldiers last year that some Iraqis who have received instruction from Canada were involved in torture and rape.

00:43:40.680 It's just incredible to me.

00:43:41.680 Thanks for that.

00:43:43.680 Next, Super Chat.

00:43:47.680 Alberta, Don, five bucks.

00:43:49.680 When Gerald Stanley was accused of murdering Colton Boushey in 2016 at GoFundMe raised $41,000 in one day, would Trudeau stop the GoFundMe today?

00:43:59.680 Well, I would never trust GoFundMe ever again.

00:44:02.680 They they're extremely political.

00:44:04.680 And before they were pressured into refunding the money to the donors, they were actually planning on giving the money that was donated for truckers to their own favorite causes.

00:44:14.680 Kushi 1124 says, I hope someone makes a techno remix of brisket and ribs.

00:44:20.680 Yeah.

00:44:21.680 I mean, in that fake metaverse clip I have, I think the most powerful thing is that synthesizer tone music in the background, which is how I imagine every dystopian future to be.

00:44:37.680 I think we're getting so close to the metaverse.

00:44:39.680 I think that's a real threat.

00:44:42.680 But have you ever seen, Olivia, have you ever seen that movie called Ex Machina?

00:44:47.680 I think that that movie is already here practically.

00:44:50.680 I mean, the combination of artificial intelligence and the internetization of sex.

00:45:00.680 And I think how it's destroying normal relationships, I think.

00:45:05.680 I think that Ex Machina is already here, frankly.

00:45:10.680 More Super Chats.

00:45:11.680 Trinity Canadian, Read the West has many bio labs in Ukraine and USA spends tax dollars on it.

00:45:17.680 Can you find out if Canada spent tax dollars as well and how much?

00:45:20.680 You're talking about the accusation by the Russians that was confirmed by the American Undersecretary of State for the region that there are bio labs in Ukraine.

00:45:29.680 And they were worried that Russia would grab them.

00:45:31.680 What's in those?

00:45:32.680 That's crazy to me.

00:45:34.680 Enoch says, Ezra, I'm going to blow a couple of bucks on this because it's something I've wondered for years.

00:45:39.680 Why do you use the Facebook plug in on the website?

00:45:41.680 I left Facebook five years ago, so I can't comment on the website.

00:45:44.680 You know, I do hear that complaint from people.

00:45:47.680 And I think it is our plan to move off Facebook.

00:45:50.680 It was just a way to manage the comments.

00:45:53.680 And there were some reasons that it was helpful to us to do that.

00:45:59.680 But I agree with you.

00:46:00.680 If we can find some other comment system, I think we are looking into fixing that.

00:46:05.680 So thank you for raising it.

00:46:08.680 Yorgi Yorgi, one buck.

00:46:09.680 Hey, Ezra, curious.

00:46:10.680 Have you guys at Rebel ever reached out to Trudeau Camp for an interview, no matter how impossible it will be?

00:46:16.680 Well, we have asked, obviously, but we're regularly turned away.

00:46:23.680 So, I mean, I guess after seven years, you sort of stop asking.

00:46:27.680 Not only are we banned, but when we actually went to federal courts and got a court order forcing the Federal Debates Commission to let us into the debates and we put our questions to Trudeau, he says, I'm not answering you.

00:46:44.680 So the answer is, yes, we have asked.

00:46:46.680 We're always turned away.

00:46:47.680 When the court lets us in, Trudeau just refuses to answer.

00:46:52.680 Which I always point out that at least Donald Trump, with his bête noire, with his nemeses, he would always, I mean, Donald Trump did not avoid CNN.

00:47:05.680 He went to CNN first every time.

00:47:07.680 He went to Jim Acosta every time.

00:47:09.680 He made Jim Acosta's career.

00:47:11.680 If Trump were like Trudeau, not only would he not take any CNN questions, he wouldn't even allow them in the room.

00:47:17.680 It's such a laugh that Trump was called this enemy of the media.

00:47:21.680 He never jailed anyone.

00:47:22.680 He never persecuted or prosecuted anyone.

00:47:24.680 It's Trudeau who does that.

00:47:26.680 Trinity Canadian again, Ezra, can you see if you can expand the Rebel store to sell maybe more stuff like all natural vitamins, mugs, emergency food survival.

00:47:36.680 Maybe partner with Canadian companies for sponsorship.

00:47:39.680 It's not a bad idea.

00:47:41.680 One company maybe is good to go company sells emergency food supply.

00:47:45.680 They get a portion of the proceeds, you get a portion of the proceeds.

00:47:48.680 It's something to think about.

00:47:49.680 Yeah, I mean, I know that that's how a number of conservative oriented sites, pardon me, make a few bucks.

00:47:56.680 It's not a bad idea.

00:47:57.680 All right.

00:47:58.680 It's 1248.

00:47:59.680 I spent an awful lot of time talking about Mark Zuckerberg.

00:48:01.680 It is on my mind.

00:48:02.680 I'm going to do some work on my show about it tonight.

00:48:05.680 My criticism of Mark Zuckerberg is not that he's weird.

00:48:07.680 I think a lot of people are weird.

00:48:10.680 The problem about being weird and a billionaire is that no one will tell you you're weird.

00:48:18.680 And even if you're married as he is, well, your wife is a billionaire, too.

00:48:23.680 Right.

00:48:24.680 And so you're surrounded by flatterers. 1.00

00:48:27.680 You're surrounded by it's like it really is close to being like an official king's court 500 years ago.

00:48:35.680 And you know that the person at the center of it, his royal highness, has unlimited power.

00:48:45.680 And so you're always thinking, how can I protect myself from risk?

00:48:50.680 And how can I ingratiate myself?

00:48:52.680 And how can I get some of this wealth and power for myself?

00:48:56.680 So you don't have dissenters.

00:49:00.680 You don't have skeptics in a place like that.

00:49:03.680 Maybe it's apocryphal, but I understand from reading it.

00:49:11.680 I don't know if it's actually true that the Roman emperors would have a slave whisper in their ear.

00:49:20.680 You are mortal because they would feel immortal.

00:49:25.680 They would come back and Rome was mighty and it straddled the world and the empire in the center of it.

00:49:32.680 They would have felt all powerful and they needed to be reminded that they were mortal.

00:49:38.680 And King Henry VIII, I think, had the most famous court jester.

00:49:45.680 William Summers was his name.

00:49:49.680 And we think of a court jester as just someone who makes jokes and does acrobatics and makes people laugh.

00:49:55.680 That's true. 0.89

00:49:57.680 But what the court fool, also called a jester, would really do is because he was the jokester. 0.97

00:50:07.680 Ha ha. 0.98

00:50:08.680 His job is to make us laugh.

00:50:10.680 Ho ho ho ho. 1.00

00:50:11.680 Yeah.

00:50:12.680 Will Summers.

00:50:14.680 Yeah, he was the jester for Henry VIII.

00:50:17.680 Henry VIII was a very momentous and important king.

00:50:24.680 And he was also out of control in many ways, as you know.

00:50:27.680 How could such a man stay grounded?

00:50:32.680 Who would dare to challenge him?

00:50:34.680 Off with your hand if you are.

00:50:36.680 Well, the jester.

00:50:38.680 And the jester had immunity from telling the king what's what. 1.00

00:50:44.680 From mocking the king, from rebutting the king, from saying, are you stupid? 1.00

00:50:49.680 This will happen. 1.00

00:50:50.680 That will happen.

00:50:51.680 We don't know exactly how that was done, but I don't know.

00:50:54.680 Olivia, did you ever hear of that show?

00:50:57.680 It might have been on HBO or something called The Tudors, T-U-D-O-R-S. 0.93

00:51:02.680 It was basically Game of Thrones, but instead of about some fantasy world, it was about the throne of England, King Henry VIII.

00:51:16.680 And it was sexy and dramatic and there were wars, but instead of dragons, it was real life.

00:51:23.680 Yeah.

00:51:24.680 I mean, it even had many of the same actors.

00:51:28.680 Yeah.

00:51:29.680 And so these are the wives of Henry VIII.

00:51:32.680 Yeah.

00:51:33.680 James, you know, it was, I watched maybe five episodes of it, but Will Summer is in some of those episodes.

00:51:40.680 And in that artistic treatment of it, Will Summers is so shockingly blunt, like not just mocking the king, but viciously attacking him verbally, trying to make a dent in the king.

00:51:57.680 And the king put up with it.

00:51:59.680 It almost, like maybe the king wanted a real friend.

00:52:03.680 Will one person in the king's court who could speak honestly with him.

00:52:06.680 Now, obviously that's just a 21st century, you know, Hollywood adaptation.

00:52:11.680 I think it might have even, it might have been a Canadian connection there even.

00:52:16.680 So it was just, I mean, who knows what it was actually like 500 years ago, but 400 and something years ago.

00:52:26.680 But I bet that's what it was like.

00:52:29.680 Does Mark Zuckerberg have a court jester?

00:52:33.680 Who can go right up to Mark Zuckerberg and say, you're out of control?

00:52:38.680 What are you doing that for?

00:52:39.680 Why are you violating privacy?

00:52:42.680 What are you, what are you doing?

00:52:44.680 You know, or maybe Mark Zuckerberg knows who he is and he's fine with it.

00:52:50.680 But I think everyone needs a skeptical voice.

00:52:53.680 I don't know if they have one.

00:52:55.680 And these masters of the universe, I mean, Elon Musk is always out there in the media in uncontrolled situations.

00:53:07.680 And people mock him and he seems to have a self-deprecating approach to himself.

00:53:11.680 Don't you think?

00:53:12.680 I mean, Elon Musk, half the time on Twitter, he's making jokes about himself.

00:53:19.680 He puts himself in risky situations.

00:53:23.680 He allows himself to be interviewed by comedians.

00:53:26.680 He answers personal questions.

00:53:30.680 He's quirky too, eccentric too.

00:53:34.680 But I think he allows for dissent.

00:53:41.680 The other day, as you know, he called for more oil and gas production, which is an odd thing for the Tesla president to say.

00:53:52.680 Compare how he exposes himself to unrestricted media criticism, how he is self-deprecating to compare that to how Jeffrey Bezos is or Bill Gates.

00:54:05.680 Can you grab, can you go on a Twitter and type Melinda Gates Epstein and then click video?

00:54:14.680 Melinda Gates, who divorced Bill.

00:54:17.680 One of the key reasons was because Bill Gates was hanging out with the convicted pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein, and Bill Gates had many meetings with him and continued to do so even after Epstein was convicted.

00:54:32.680 Here's Melinda Gates just last week. 0.71

00:54:37.680 You know, it was also widely reported that Bill had a friendship or business or some kind of contact with Jeffrey Epstein and that you were not that that was very upsetting to you.

00:54:48.680 Did that play a role in the in the divorce at all in this process?

00:54:51.680 Yeah. As I said, it's not one thing. It was many things.

00:54:56.680 But I did not like that he'd had meetings with Jeffrey Epstein. No.

00:55:00.680 And you made that clear to him.

00:55:03.680 I made that clear to him. I also met Jeffrey Epstein exactly one time.

00:55:08.680 Did you?

00:55:09.680 Yes, because I wanted to see who this man was.

00:55:12.680 And I regretted it from the second I stepped in the door.

00:55:17.680 He was abhorrent. He was evil personified. 0.78

00:55:21.680 I had nightmares about it afterwards.

00:55:23.680 So, you know, my heart breaks for these young women because that's how I felt.

00:55:28.680 And here I'm an older woman.

00:55:29.680 My God, I feel terrible for those young women. It's awful. 0.98

00:55:32.680 You felt that the moment you walked in.

00:55:34.680 He was awful.

00:55:35.680 Yeah.

00:55:36.680 And you shared that with Bill and he still continued to spend time with him.

00:55:40.680 Any of the questions remaining about what Bill's relationship there was, those are for Bill to answer.

00:55:46.680 Okay.

00:55:47.680 But I made it very clear how I felt about him.

00:55:49.680 Mm-hmm.

00:55:50.680 I think...

00:55:53.680 That's what she's saying.

00:55:55.680 Imagine what else she knows that she's not saying.

00:56:00.680 He is such a creepy man, Bill Gates.

00:56:03.680 He's got the whole shocks.

00:56:05.680 But there's only one reason for Bill Gates to hang out with Jeffrey Epstein.

00:56:11.680 Bill Gates has far more money than Epstein ever had.

00:56:16.680 So he doesn't need to hang out with Epstein for money.

00:56:20.680 Bill Gates has, through his foundations, access to anything and anyone in the world.

00:56:26.680 Even Stephen Harper, the conservative prime minister, did things with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

00:56:32.680 I don't know if that was a good idea, but he did.

00:56:36.680 There's no one in the world that Bill Gates could not get on the phone if he wanted to.

00:56:40.680 It's a fact.

00:56:42.680 There's no company he couldn't buy or at least buy a large stake in if he wanted to.

00:56:47.680 I mean, he's not as...

00:56:49.680 What is he worth?

00:56:50.680 50 or 100 billion?

00:56:51.680 Maybe not 200 billion like Bezos.

00:56:54.680 But he's in such a league he could buy anything he wanted.

00:57:01.680 So why would Bill Gates hang out with Jeffrey Epstein?

00:57:04.680 What does Epstein have that Bill Gates couldn't get elsewhere?

00:57:08.680 Well, there's only one thing that Jeffrey Epstein is known for. 0.99

00:57:12.680 His one specialty is raping children. 0.99

00:57:16.680 Sorry to phrase it that way, but that's what it is. 1.00

00:57:19.680 He would recruit through agents, extremely young girls, and he would rape them and his friends would rape them. 0.99

00:57:31.680 And that, sorry to use that rough language, but that's what he was, that's what he did. 1.00

00:57:36.680 He's a convicted pedophile. 0.99

00:57:39.680 He was a registered sex offender. 0.99

00:57:42.680 And Bill Gates kept going back.

00:57:44.680 Well, what do you think he kept going back for?

00:57:46.680 The fine conversation?

00:57:48.680 The great food? 1.00

00:57:51.680 It was to rape girls. 1.00

00:57:53.680 I'm sorry, what else could it be? 0.99

00:57:55.680 What else was Jeffrey Epstein in the business of?

00:57:59.680 It's quite something to hear it from Melinda Gates, isn't it?

00:58:05.680 Let's just whip through a few more Super Chats.

00:58:13.680 Oh, I don't know if I have any more.

00:58:17.680 I think I'm caught up on the Super Chats. 0.81

00:58:20.680 All right.

00:58:21.680 Well, it's 1258.

00:58:22.680 And I'm not sure if I covered things the way I wanted to.

00:58:25.680 I sort of rambled on for a while about Mark Zuckerberg.

00:58:28.680 But, you know, once you've made a certain amount of money and once you've had a certain amount of corporate success, what do you do?

00:58:40.680 What do you do in your life?

00:58:42.680 Well, the answer for a lot of these guys is to go into space.

00:58:45.680 Isn't that funny?

00:58:46.680 I mean, they all have their rival space programs.

00:58:48.680 There's Elon Musk with SpaceX, which actually seems to have a lot of commercial purpose.

00:58:54.680 They have the internet and they're actually trying to be a utility, not just for fun.

00:59:00.680 Jeffrey Bezos has his space program, which seems a lot more about vanity and I'm in space and I've got this huge phallic rocket ship.

00:59:10.680 And Richard Branson of Virgin Galactic, same thing.

00:59:14.680 So you've got a certain amount of money.

00:59:17.680 You think, well, what would I do as a child or what's the craziest thing I can do?

00:59:21.680 What can I do that almost no one else can?

00:59:23.680 OK, I'll go into space.

00:59:25.680 All right.

00:59:27.680 So you made all your money.

00:59:29.680 You've had your corporate success.

00:59:31.680 What do you do next?

00:59:36.680 I think that for some of them they want to become like a god.

00:59:43.680 That's my explanation for the metaverse and for what Zuckerberg wants to do.

00:59:49.680 He wants to create an entire world.

00:59:51.680 And it's very much in sync with what the World Economic Forum talks about, about connecting the internet and computers directly to your mind.

01:00:00.680 Well, isn't that what Zuckerberg is doing?

01:00:03.680 And frankly, Elon Musk is doing some things like that as well.

01:00:06.680 History Club World chips in five library crypto and says, does Rubble plan to expand into more comedy lifestyle?

01:00:15.680 Do you have plans to interview Trump, Musk or any influential people?

01:00:18.680 CBC Kids News opinions about Florida law.

01:00:20.680 When is the documentary coming out?

01:00:23.680 Plans for more documentaries.

01:00:24.680 Well, there's a lot of good questions in there.

01:00:27.680 We have tried to connect with Trump, but we've been unsuccessful.

01:00:30.680 I don't know if he does a lot of foreign media.

01:00:32.680 He would talk to Piers Morgan, his friend in the UK, but they had a personal connection.

01:00:36.680 I don't know if we've tried to talk to Elon Musk.

01:00:39.680 Yeah.

01:00:40.680 The kids news about Florida was sort of crazy.

01:00:44.680 Do you believe after this conservative leader race, the next leader will stay interacting with rebels?

01:00:49.680 Second, will you be hosting a debate again?

01:00:51.680 Does rebel plan on increasing its presence in Medicine Hat, America, UK, Europe, Australia, anywhere else?

01:00:56.680 Well, I'm glad that you put Medicine Hat on that list.

01:00:59.680 We are going to be involved with the leaders, with the leadership on the conservative side.

01:01:06.680 And yesterday alone, we spoke with three different leadership candidates.

01:01:10.680 Do you have, do you have those handy, Olivia?

01:01:15.680 Or one of them?

01:01:16.680 Like, do we have, yeah, here's Dakota Christensen, who went with Isabel to Roman Babers kickoff.

01:01:24.680 I'll just show you, I'll just show you a minute of that.

01:01:27.680 When others refuse to do so, it's something that I bring to the table.

01:01:31.680 Canadians will always know where I stand.

01:01:34.680 Dakota Christensen for Rebel News here in North York, Ontario at the National Event Centre,

01:01:43.680 where the Independent Member of Provincial Parliament, Roman Baber,

01:01:47.680 is set to formally announce his bid for the Federal Conservative Party leadership race

01:01:52.680 that is beginning to take shape in Canada.

01:01:55.680 Well, folks, we did make it inside the event here, where Roman Baber is set to announce his official candidacy

01:02:01.680 in the Federal Conservative leadership race.

01:02:04.680 I will say, it's a very relaxed atmosphere, and unlike other previous Conservative Party events,

01:02:10.680 we had absolutely no trouble getting inside.

01:02:13.680 In the face of fear, Roman made a choice, the same choice he always makes.

01:02:20.680 He chose to put people before politics.

01:02:23.680 My name is Roman Baber, and I'll always stand out for what's right,

01:02:26.680 and for the Canadian dream.

01:02:35.680 I'm proud to announce my intention to seek the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada.

01:02:40.680 I've always believed and lived the Canadian dream.

01:02:46.680 Roman Baber, good egg, I like the guy.

01:02:48.680 He was really one of the handful of elected politicians across this country

01:02:54.680 who spoke up against the lockdowns.

01:02:55.680 I'm glad he's running for leadership.

01:02:57.680 So we had a bit of a conversation with him.

01:02:59.680 You can watch the rest of that video on our website.

01:03:03.680 He had a good one on, he had a good back and forth with Roman Baber.

01:03:06.680 And we had a reporter in Calgary at the Jean Charest event in the Scrum.

01:03:13.680 And yesterday I interviewed Leslie Lewis on the show, on my show.

01:03:17.680 And I think we'll be putting that up on YouTube and Rumble today.

01:03:22.680 So to answer your question, I think that so far, three out of three

01:03:27.680 Conservative leadership candidates that we've spoken to have agreed to come on the show.

01:03:31.680 I have no idea what Patrick Brown will say or do,

01:03:37.680 because he has shown a tremendous hatred towards Rebel News in the past.

01:03:41.680 But that's his funeral.

01:03:43.680 I mean, we have...

01:03:46.680 I added it up for a friend the other day.

01:03:48.680 We have more than five million cumulative followers on social media,

01:03:55.680 including our staff's social media.

01:03:57.680 So for example, our official Rebel account has about 350,000 Twitter followers.

01:04:05.680 I've got about the same.

01:04:06.680 And then you add up Sheila, Navi, et cetera.

01:04:10.680 You know, the number's getting close to a million.

01:04:14.680 YouTube, Instagram, Getter, TikTok, Truth Social, Super U, Rumble.

01:04:21.680 You add them all up, add up all those numbers, both our corporate accounts and our staff,

01:04:27.680 we have more than five million followers.

01:04:31.680 We have over a million people on our Rebel News email list alone.

01:04:35.680 So if you're a Conservative leadership candidate, you don't have to love Rebel News.

01:04:41.680 But if you don't talk to Rebel News, you're doing two things.

01:04:44.680 First of all, you're cutting yourself off from millions of supporters who are probably the kind of people you want to talk to.

01:04:52.680 So you're missing the opportunity, but you're also incurring a cost,

01:04:56.680 because you're defining yourself as someone who is more afraid of what the media party says about you.

01:05:01.680 Oh, you're talking to Rebel News?

01:05:02.680 Yeah, Rebel News, the largest independent news station in Canada that has earned the respect of millions of people,

01:05:09.680 including most recently for our coverage of the truckers.

01:05:12.680 Absolutely.

01:05:14.680 So it would be quite strange for someone who wants to lead the Conservative movement in the form of the Conservative Party

01:05:21.680 to say we're not going to talk to the most successful, effective, large, dedicated, active Conservative media in the country.

01:05:28.680 It would be really weird. And it would be demoralizing to the base.

01:05:34.680 I think that's a mistake that both Erin O'Toole and Andrew Scheer made.

01:05:39.680 And I hope that whoever is the next leader of the Conservative Party doesn't make that mistake.

01:05:44.680 I think that this debate is going to come down, this contest, to be completely blunt.

01:05:49.680 To be completely blunt, I think it's going to be Pierre Polyev and Jean Charest as the two last standing.

01:05:57.680 Like, I like Lesley Lewis and I like Roman Baber.

01:06:00.680 I don't think they're going to beat Pierre Polyev or Jean Charest.

01:06:04.680 I think that's going to be the final battle, you know, the elimination round, the finals.

01:06:10.680 And I don't think that Jean Charest has a hatred for Republicans.

01:06:16.680 That's very much a Toronto thing or more an Ottawa thing.

01:06:19.680 Jean Charest is a creature of Quebec.

01:06:21.680 He was the Premier of Quebec.

01:06:22.680 He ran in Quebec.

01:06:23.680 He knows Quebec.

01:06:24.680 I mean, he does know the rest of the country, but he's not in the Mean Girls Club of the Ottawa-Toronto media party.

01:06:30.680 So, last night, he seemed happy to have us at his event, and we were.

01:06:35.680 So, I'm hopeful.

01:06:36.680 I'm excited about it because, boy, we sure do need an alternative to Justin Trudeau these days, don't we?

01:06:43.680 I'm just going to take one last quote from Fraser on Odyssey, who says,

01:06:46.680 More facts.

01:06:47.680 More Americans have died from the mRNA COVID jabs in one year than Americans lost in the Vietnam War,

01:06:54.680 over 58,000 killed by the government-mandated jabs.

01:06:57.680 Now, that's the kind of thing that might get you sacked on YouTube.

01:07:01.680 I don't know if that's a fact or not.

01:07:03.680 I'd have to look into it.

01:07:04.680 But that's the crazy thing is you're allowed on Facebook and Instagram to call for death threats of Russians,

01:07:14.680 but you're not allowed to have debates about pandemic issues.

01:07:18.680 I don't know what the facts of that are, by the way, but I'd be curious to check it out.

01:07:22.680 All right.

01:07:23.680 It's 1.07 p.m.

01:07:24.680 Thanks, everybody, for joining.

01:07:25.680 I've been thinking through these things about Zuckerberg for a bit.

01:07:29.680 And so thanks for letting me talk through them with you.

01:07:31.680 And thanks for your super chats and other tips.

01:07:34.680 Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, goodbye.

01:07:40.680 And keep fighting for freedom.

01:07:42.680 Wednesday, I spent a number of hours with Chancellor Schultz of Germany.

01:07:49.680 He's the new chancellor of Europe's largest economy, someone I've personally known for a number of years.

01:07:57.680 But it was extremely important to deepen that friendship and the working together on things like strengthening democracy,

01:08:06.680 on pushing back against misinformation and disinformation, obviously in Russia, but also in our own democracies.

01:08:14.680 There is a lot of work we need to continue to do together.

01:08:17.680 And that was something that we spent a lot of time discussing and talking about how we strengthen our economic ties as well.

01:08:24.680 Wednesday, I was...

01:08:26.680 ...

01:08:28.680 ...
