Rebel News Podcast - DAILY Roundup ｜ Calgary mayor's unconstitutional bylaw, Epstein docs being unsealed, Vax uptake

00:00:00.000 Hi, everybody. Ezra Levant here. How are you doing? I am the Rebel Commander here at Rebel

00:00:18.540 News Network Limited. What a pleasure to sit in this chair. You know, we started the

00:00:22.180 live stream idea in 2020 when the pandemic was afoot and there was just so much to cover.

00:00:28.240 We couldn't cover it all in our normal outlets. So every day I sat here and yapped for an extra

00:00:34.400 hour or even 90 minutes. There was so much to cover to go through the stats and to debunk

00:00:38.640 the misinformation. And by misinformation, of course, I mean the government misinformation.

00:00:44.660 I think it took us about two weeks to realize that two weeks to flatten the curve meant two years to

00:00:50.280 flatten the curve. That's how these live streams started. But we've kept it going now. Unfortunately,

00:00:54.800 over the years, I got a little bit busy with red tapey things here at the company, but I am trying

00:00:59.340 to return to this chair several times a week at least because there's so much to talk about. And

00:01:03.420 I can't cover it all at my 8 p.m. show. As you may or may not know, every day at 8 p.m. Eastern,

00:01:10.860 6 p.m. Mountain Time, I do a scripted produced show. For example, tonight I'm going to talk about

00:01:17.980 a new bylaw. The bylaw is not that new, but it's going to be used in a new way.

00:01:25.160 There are protests pro and con in Calgary about the drag queen story hour. They're having all ages

00:01:33.800 drag events, including, I think there's some skating events there. And so there's some protesters

00:01:39.700 for and protesters against, and that's called freedom. And, you know, as long as there's no

00:01:47.300 violence or threats of violence, some people might say that the drag queens are obscene. And that's 1.00

00:01:54.740 why, for example, we don't allow children into strip clubs. And maybe that same sort of law should 1.00

00:02:00.320 apply. But actually, the law that is being applied is by the mayor. The mayor of Calgary says she is

00:02:08.300 going to fine and ticket anyone who comes there with hate in their hearts. Here's a story by the

00:02:17.580 CBC. They are thrilled about this. Calgary mayor threatens to fine protesters after drag event 0.58

00:02:22.760 canceled. City will leverage, I like that word, street harassment bylaw for hate-motivated protests.

00:02:31.060 Now, I wonder, there's so many questions, and I'm not going to give away my monologue right now,

00:02:36.220 but it's just such a crazy story. So you can have a protest, but if you protest one day,

00:02:43.380 and you have, let's say, sorrow in your heart, and you say, there shouldn't be a drag queen story 0.99

00:02:50.280 hour with kids. And then the next day, you say, there shouldn't be a drag queen story hour with 0.95

00:02:55.780 kids. But your feeling in your heart is hate. So one day it was sorrow, one day it was hate. One of

00:03:01.440 those is against the law, one of them is legal. In other words, it's the government now determining

00:03:06.780 whether or not you're allowed to do something based on your feelings or your thoughts, because

00:03:11.240 that's hate is a feeling. Sorrow is a feeling. It's absurd. It's against the law. It's an attempt

00:03:17.160 by the city hall to impose criminal sanctions against peaceful protesters. It will not surprise

00:03:23.800 you to know that in my monologue tonight, I will offer to legally defend anyone charged with those

00:03:28.700 tickets and to challenge the constitutional constitutionality thereof. I wonder if the

00:03:34.520 CBC state broadcaster, which was absolutely effusive, I wonder if they would feel that way if it was so,

00:03:41.740 I don't know, Stephen Harper, who was ticketing protesters by labor unions, if they had the wrong

00:03:49.600 feelings in their heart. Hey, I see, Olivia, that you're calling up Jody Gondek's tweets. She's the

00:03:55.140 mayor. Again, I don't want to give away my whole monologue right now, but I just want to play for

00:03:59.880 you the video attached to her second tweet. She really is an atrocious, appalling woman. Here she 1.00

00:04:06.060 is in city hall basically saying, if she doesn't like you, she's going to have the police arrest you

00:04:13.180 and ticket you and fine you. And she is prejudging anyone who dares. If you are opposed to drag queens 1.00

00:04:20.900 and young children together, you are by definition a horrible person, she uses that word, 0.90

00:04:27.900 and a hater and you will be targeted. Whereas if you come to the same protest to cheer on the 0.51

00:04:32.960 drag queens, you'll be just fine. Don't take it from me. Take it from this out of control woke mayor.

00:04:38.640 Take a look. We had a drag brunch at the rec room in the north of Calgary by our community of drag queens

00:04:48.600 in Calgary who have done amazing work promoting inclusion and really raising awareness of how

00:04:55.040 important it is to be a welcoming community. Unfortunately, some members of our population

00:05:00.760 thought it would be a good idea to protest this event, which is, I'm just going to use my opinion,

00:05:05.880 a horrible thing to do. I was very happy that CPS was there to provide a buffer and to ensure that

00:05:12.140 everyone was safe and that the show could go on. My question is, do we have the ability when a

00:05:18.180 protest is rooted in hatred to ticket people and shut this down? How does it work?

00:05:26.880 Thanks. We don't need the answer there. It's a boring answer by a city manager who says,

00:05:32.420 well, I'll get you that answer because it's really a shocking question. But you heard her.

00:05:36.340 How can we shut down protests? How can we shut down these haters? How can we shut down? There are

00:05:42.960 people who disagree with me. How can I shut them down? And the city manager was very excited about

00:05:48.180 her project. And of course, the Calgary police are going to go along with it. I'm not going to

00:05:52.980 go any further on the subject because I want to save the best for my show tonight at 8 p.m. I hope

00:05:59.520 you join in. Tonight, I'll also be talking with my friend Sue Ann Levy, who for many years covered

00:06:05.380 Toronto City Hall for the Toronto Sun. And she was a skeptic, a critic of Mayor John Tory,

00:06:14.000 especially in the last few years. And hey, I tweeted a goofy TikTok video about someone

00:06:23.460 molesting a mailbox the other day. I don't know if you saw that, Olivia. But when I think of John Tory,

00:06:29.140 I think of a few things. But the main thing I think of as a citizen of Toronto

00:06:32.980 is how crappy the city has become. You know, the nickname of Toronto, many cities have nicknames.

00:06:40.180 Calgary is Cowtown. Chicago is the Windy City, City of Big Shoulders,

00:06:48.860 Busher Shop to the World. These are various nicknames.

00:06:53.740 Toronto was called the Big Smoke. I presume that referred to factories and eras gone by.

00:07:01.320 But I think the best nickname for Toronto, which was sort of a double-edged nickname,

00:07:09.700 was Toronto the Good. Toronto the Good meant it was a good place. It really was a good place.

00:07:17.660 But sometimes it was a little bit too aware that it was a good place. Maybe its morality was a little

00:07:22.580 bit stuffy and maybe it was a little bit too patrician or something. So, you know, it's like the nickname that

00:07:28.480 Australia was given, the lucky country. I love calling Australia the lucky country. I think it

00:07:35.460 sounds wonderful. But it was used as an insult, as in, oh, everything Australia has, it got by luck.

00:07:46.700 Well, Toronto the Good. Yeah, that's it right there. That's the one there. So Toronto the Good,

00:07:50.920 well, who wouldn't want to live in a good place? And if it's, you know, New York, the city that never

00:07:56.900 sleeps. Yeah, I mean, well, Toronto does sleep. I mean, there weren't quite as many bars open at

00:08:03.700 4 a.m. It wasn't quite as wild as New York City. And I think Toronto liked it that way. It was very

00:08:08.820 Canadian that way. And you'd think by looking at him, John Tory would be a Toronto the Good kind of

00:08:15.780 mayor, focus on order and safety and do the subways run and is the garbage cleaned up. But this city

00:08:24.020 is no longer Toronto the Good. It feels more like Skid Row, feels more like the decrepit state of San

00:08:33.780 Francisco, L.A., Portland, Seattle, what's happening to New York. And I saw this video the other day

00:08:41.660 and it goes on and on. And I really think you should watch it because the fact that it feels so

00:08:48.180 long is half the impact of it. It's some homemade song, an homage to mailmen, which is hilarious

00:08:59.240 because it's some street person molesting a mailbox for an interminably long time.

00:09:07.320 And no one cares. Certainly not any authorities. Certainly not any police. Because that's

00:09:12.080 Toronto in 2023. This is the Toronto that John Tory built. Play that TikTok video and weep.

00:09:19.840 Mail delivery person. Always delivering the mail day after day. It's such difficult work.

00:09:30.040 You agree with me. In my choice of the word molest, he is molesting that mailbox. 1.00

00:09:41.520 Trying to decipher.

00:09:42.720 People are driving by. And people are walking by. And people are filming.

00:09:50.560 And that's just Toronto. And the fact that he feels so confident

00:09:57.500 to molest a mailbox. And you'll see very soon, he starts stealing letters, just random letters.

00:10:06.060 And what were these letters? Were they

00:10:07.660 birthday cards from grandparents to children with a little check in them maybe? Were they

00:10:14.620 thank you letters? Were they

00:10:16.460 what? Well, we'll never know. Were they bill payments? Imagine if you had to pay a bill

00:10:21.560 and this guy stole your mail right out of the mailbox and the public utility that you paid didn't get the

00:10:28.160 money. And so you were cut off. And

00:10:31.880 how long does this go on for?

00:10:37.480 The stores behind them. Would they care if he took that mailbox and threw it through a window?

00:10:42.720 I don't know. When I think of John Tory's Toronto, that's what I think of, except for

00:10:49.400 that was uncharacteristic in one way. The traffic there was actually moving in John Tory's Toronto.

00:10:56.880 The traffic typically doesn't move. So John Tory, I thought, and because he was, we've now learned that

00:11:04.760 he was a deceiver. We've now learned that he's a shyster, a trickster, a liar, an actor. 0.99

00:11:15.000 Someone who was not who he said he was. Because this establishment man, this Toronto the good guy, 0.98

00:11:23.480 turns out while he was telling you and me not to gather with others, not to

00:11:29.080 mix households. Remember, he was the fool who drew those little circles on the grass in Trinity 0.99

00:11:35.880 Bellwoods Park. While he was saying to you, you cannot mingle with others, 1.00

00:11:42.840 he had a sexual relationship with a staffer half his age,

00:11:48.600 cheating on his wife for 40 years. 1.00

00:11:52.360 Here, take a look at the cad, the cheater, the deceiver, 0.98

00:11:55.720 the adulterer, the rule breaker, the scold, admitting that everything about him was a lie. 0.97

00:12:05.960 Take a look.

00:12:07.720 I want to update Torontonians on a difficult personal matter. During the pandemic, I developed a

00:12:13.640 relationship with an employee in my office in a way that did not meet the standards to which I hold

00:12:18.520 myself as mayor and as a family man. The relationship ended by mutual consent earlier this year.

00:12:25.480 During the course of our relationship some time ago, the employee decided to pursue employment

00:12:29.320 outside City Hall and secured a job elsewhere. I recognize that permitting this relationship to

00:12:35.400 develop was a serious error in judgment on my part. It came at a time when Barb, my wife of 40 plus

00:12:41.480 years and I were enduring many lengthy periods apart while I carried out my responsibilities during

00:12:45.960 the pandemic. As a result, I've decided that I will step down as mayor so that I can take the time to

00:12:51.480 reflect on my mistakes and to do the work of rebuilding the trust of my family. I think it is

00:12:56.440 important as I always have for the office of the mayor not to be in any way tarnished and not to see

00:13:00.840 the city government itself but through a period of prolonged controversy arising out of this error in

00:13:05.480 judgment on my part, especially in light of some of the challenges that we face as a city.

00:13:10.200 I'm deeply sorry and I apologize unreservedly to the people of Toronto and to all of those hurt by my

00:13:16.200 actions including my staff, my colleagues on City Council and the public service for whom I have

00:13:21.160 such respect. Most of all, I apologize to my wife Barb and to my family who I've let down more than

00:13:27.640 anyone else. I hope the privacy of all of those impacted by my actions can be respected and that

00:13:33.400 includes me. I think as you know that I am naturally not I'm naturally a private person notwithstanding

00:13:39.800 some of the jobs that I've had over the years and I hope you'll respect that and the privacy of everyone

00:13:44.520 else as well, especially my wife and family. I've made the integrity commissioner aware of the

00:13:49.320 relationship and asked him to review it. I want to thank the people of Toronto for trusting me

00:13:54.280 as mayor. It has been the job of a lifetime and while I've let them down and my family down in this

00:13:59.400 instance, I've nonetheless been deeply honoured by the opportunity to serve the people of this

00:14:03.480 wonderful city and I believe that I did some good for the city, that I did make a positive difference

00:14:09.000 for the city that I truly love, particularly during the pandemic. I'm usually known for taking as many

00:14:14.280 questions as you want to ask, but on this occasion I think I'll let my statement speak for itself.

00:14:18.440 Thank you. So there's a few things going on there. I mean you could say, well Ezra, what's the big

00:14:26.520 deal? They're two consenting adults and it's true, but of course when one is the boss of the other,

00:14:33.480 was she hired for that reason? Was she promoted? Did she get benefits for that reason? 1.00

00:14:38.120 Were they carrying on their illicit affair on company time with company resources? They were traveling.

00:14:42.600 Were they traveling together? Were the trips arranged in a way that they could have their

00:14:48.280 trysts? You know, so that's the first thing is the possible improper use of city resources and the

00:14:54.760 second thing is when you have a boss screwing an underling, is she really willing or is this some

00:15:02.600 sort of job advancement that he's gifting to her as some sort of sugar daddy, but not using his own

00:15:09.720 resources, but rather promises that she'll get ahead with the city.

00:15:15.480 Of course there's the fact that he's lying to his wife for 40 years and lying to his children and

00:15:20.120 lying to the world and living a lie just to indulge himself. But there's two things that came to my mind

00:15:26.760 and I'm going to ask Sue Ann Levy about these tonight when she's on my show.

00:15:34.920 Why did he have this press conference now?

00:15:38.920 Was he, did he have some remorse over what he did? Did he acknowledge that it was wrong?

00:15:44.280 No. He didn't come clean. The Toronto Star broke the story and they were calling him and his girlfriend

00:15:54.840 about it and he said, oh well, it's going to get worse. I may as well just announce it now. This,

00:16:00.680 this happened and he sought reelection even with this happening in the background.

00:16:05.880 He only had that press conference. He only admitted what he said there and

00:16:14.680 he only took responsibility after the Toronto Star outed him. He wasn't apologizing for his affair,

00:16:24.360 he was apologizing for getting caught. But where is she now, Emily Hillstrom? Where is she?

00:16:31.640 She is at MLSE, Maple Leaf Sports Entertainment. What's that? Well, they own the Argos and they own

00:16:41.720 the Raptors and they're owned by Rogers. And John Tory and his family, there, there are so,

00:16:51.080 in fact, John Tory gets paid a hundred grand a year by Rogers, if I'm not, by, by, by Rogers,

00:16:57.400 which owns Maple Leaf Sports Entertainment. Did, did he arrange to shut up or to move out

00:17:08.120 his adulterous girlfriend? Did he put her in MLSE as a way of saying, just shut up, we're going to take 1.00

00:17:16.440 care of you now. Uh, I'm going to pay you off with a fake job at MLSE just to keep you quiet. Why, 0.97

00:17:25.880 why would you move from City Hall over there other than the connection of John Tory himself,

00:17:30.760 who was connected to Maple Leaf Sports Entertainment and Rogers? I think there's a lot more questions to

00:17:37.320 ask. Was that a payoff? Were there other payoffs? Was it really a consensual relationship? Did it really

00:17:44.360 end happily on both sides? I don't believe it. But I do believe that John Tory is a big fat liar who

00:17:53.160 didn't mean a word he ever said, including about not gathering or visiting people outside your bubble. 0.96

00:17:58.360 Oh yeah, he had a bubble, didn't he? Anyway, I'm not going to talk more about him other than

00:18:02.840 it's a pleasure to see him gone. Super Chat from Annalisa1964, how you doing? He says,

00:18:09.240 great to see you Ezra. Since I like to torment Sheila, today is your day. Please give my sweet 0.98

00:18:14.120 menzie a big huggy-wuggy for me. Well, I just might, you know, it'll probably be a metaphorical

00:18:21.240 huggy-wuggy. Um, I, I, uh, I think it would be uncomfortable for both parties involved if I

00:18:26.360 actually gave him a huggy-wuggy, but thank you for that. Um, you know, we're going to take a short

00:18:31.400 commercial break. I keep forgetting about the short commercial breaks. I'm going to take a short

00:18:34.280 commercial break and I'm going to come right back and, uh, there's so much more to talk about.

00:18:38.600 So we'll see you in a minute.

00:18:46.440 I'm speaking to you at a moment of grave crisis. When violent and fanatical men are attempting to

00:18:53.800 destroy the unity and the freedom of Canada. After weeks of dangerous and unlawful activities,

00:19:00.600 after weeks of people being harassed in their neighborhoods and small businesses forced to

00:19:06.120 close. Because democracy flourishes in Canada. We don't always agree. And that's okay. Because

00:19:12.440 individual liberty is cherished in Canada. Our government will always defend freedom of expression

00:19:19.640 and freedom of peaceful assembly. It has now been demonstrated to us by a few misguided persons. After

00:19:25.880 evidence of increased ideologically motivated violent extremism activity across the country.

00:19:31.960 Just how fragile a democratic society can be. It became clear that local and provincial

00:19:39.000 authorities needed more tools to restore order and keep people safe. These are matters of the utmost

00:19:47.080 gravity. And I want to tell you what the government is doing to deal with them. The federal government

00:19:53.480 has invoked the emergencies act. The public's legitimate right to know why the government

00:20:05.480 proclaimed an emergency and whether the actions it took were appropriate.

00:20:11.080 It is our view that there was no justification whatsoever to invoke the emergencies act.

00:20:21.560 It's so tough to watch. There's no reason for that. They were literally running

00:20:24.600 the horses through the crowd. The police came straight to me and he targeted me and he took his gun

00:20:31.240 of tear gas and he actually shot me directly in my legs.

00:20:34.920 Was it worth invoking the emergencies act, ma'am, to trample on the rights and freedoms of Canadians?

00:20:41.320 Why do you think excessive honking means means that the government should strip citizens away from their rights?

00:20:49.480 Our next and final witness is Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

00:20:55.720 Order a lot.

00:21:05.400 Very exciting. Trudeau on trial. I love these documentaries that we're coming out with.

00:21:10.040 I think that one's actually having its premiere this week in Calgary. Very exciting about that.

00:21:15.160 Excited about that. Hopefully we'll get it in a few other cities too.

00:21:19.000 I'm really proud of the work our documentary team is doing. It's getting better all the time.

00:21:26.840 You know, I want to show you a few other videos on different subjects. It's 122,

00:21:30.680 so I think we've got some time to go through a few things. I want to go to a U.S. clip of their

00:21:39.160 press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre. And it's a tough job being press secretary to the president

00:21:46.680 of the United States because there is no subject in the world about which he might not be asked.

00:21:54.040 He could be asked about literally anything in the world, from the Super Bowl to domestic politics to

00:22:02.520 party politics to, I mean, literally any one of 200 foreign countries. He could be asked something.

00:22:10.680 And the press secretary has to be ready to answer as well as possible and to go on the offensive

00:22:17.240 against his enemies. So I can't imagine a tougher job than being president himself. But you'd think

00:22:24.200 you would know a little bit about NORAD. Do you know what NORAD is? It stands for North American

00:22:28.440 Air Defense. It's the treaty between Canada and the United States that basically defends our

00:22:32.840 northern continent. And we talked about this the other day. After the Cold War, we set up the

00:22:38.680 distant early warning line, which was the dew line of radar in the north to catch glimpses of either

00:22:46.920 Russian bombers or Russian ICBMs, intercontinental ballistic missiles, bringing war to our continent. 0.71

00:22:56.360 And it was a team effort between Canada and the United States. And the dew line was replaced with

00:23:01.080 the more modern northern warning line. And if there's, and I don't know how the cooperation

00:23:08.920 goes between Canada and the United States. Obviously, the United States does the heavy lifting

00:23:12.920 in defending the continent. But, you know, Canada has some respect, I imagine, because,

00:23:18.440 you know, we are half the continent.

00:23:25.080 Would you know what NORAD is if you're the spokesman to the president? I would hope so.

00:23:29.720 Would you know how to say the country Canada? I would hope so. But that hope would be too much.

00:23:38.520 Listen to Karine Jean-Pierre just butcher both subjects in this super friendly interview by

00:23:44.280 the left wing MSNBC. This is embarrassing. Take a look.

00:23:47.960 Why is why is the American military shooting something out of the sky over Canada?

00:23:53.800 Because it's part of a NORAD. There is a, the NORAD is part of like a part of a, it's a, it's a,

00:24:00.120 what you call a coalition, a consortium. A pact, exactly. And so that's why we were able to do

00:24:05.400 that. Again, we didn't do it on our own. We did it in, in, in, clearly in, in, in step with

00:24:11.880 Canada.

00:24:12.280 Why is Canada? Hey, let me, I'm coming to you live from Toronto, Canada. And I'm here to say

00:24:21.240 that the pact, the consortium, the coalition, yeah, I guess it's a coalition of two. I guess

00:24:27.720 it is a consortium of two. You know, I'll grant her that here in Toronto, Canada. It's a pleasure.

00:24:33.160 But so part of, so speaking as someone from Canada, it sounds like the jets that took down

00:24:44.840 the, these Chinese hot air balloons were F-22s, I understand, which is an American jet. Canada

00:24:51.880 doesn't have them. The other day, Trudeau tweeted that he's the one that gave the order for the F-22

00:25:02.200 to be taken down. Trudeau said, I ordered. Do you believe that?

00:25:09.880 Do you think Justin Trudeau is the one that made that order? Did he, what, get on the walkie-talkie

00:25:16.520 and say, Breaker 10-4, this is, uh, this is, uh, Justin Trudeau over to you, F-22 captain. Copy.

00:25:27.080 Uh, Breaker Breaker. F-22 over Canada. Waiting for your instructions, sir.

00:25:34.920 Okay, here it comes. I ordered the takedown of an unidentified object that violated Canadian

00:25:41.480 airspace. NORAD command shut, shut down the object over the Yukon. Canadian and U.S. aircraft were

00:25:48.200 scrambled and a U.S. F-22 successfully fired at the object. Now, I am sure there was some courtesy

00:25:58.440 communication between the United States and Canada. I'm sure there was. But do you really believe that

00:26:05.960 the decision here? I can't even say it with a straight face. Do you really think that it was

00:26:14.360 Justin Trudeau who put down the bong pipe, read the briefing notes, got up to speed, and gave the order?

00:26:24.280 Do you really think that's how it's happened? I, uh, I do not think that's how it happened, my friends. I

00:26:30.280 think that the order was given by the United States, not by Joe Biden either. He was probably sleeping.

00:26:37.480 Yeah, I, uh, I'm a bit of a skeptic. I think we have, uh, I think we have a video of that same

00:26:42.040 thing. Do we have a video? Here's Trudeau telling you just how much of a boss he is. Let's take a listen.

00:26:49.080 Yesterday, NORAD confirmed that an unidentified object entered unlawfully Canadian airspace.

00:26:59.800 It represented a reasonable threat to civilian aircraft, so I give the order to take it down.

00:27:09.560 Canadian and American fighter jets were scrambled, and an American F-22 successfully shot down the

00:27:16.360 object. Uh, recovery teams are on the ground, um, looking to, uh, find and analyze the object.

00:27:26.680 Yesterday afternoon, I also spoke with President Biden and confirmed, um, together that we will

00:27:33.640 continue to do everything necessary, uh, to protect the sovereignty of our air, of our shared North

00:27:39.000 American airspace, uh, but also to do everything necessary to keep our citizens safe.

00:27:47.880 I want to thank the members of the Canadian Armed Forces and all those who serve

00:27:52.120 in NORAD, uh, for doing everything necessary to keep us safe. Um, their service is extraordinarily

00:27:59.320 important to all of us. Well, it's a pleasant change to have the Canadian military, um, deployed

00:28:07.080 against a foreign adversary as opposed to the truckers, which is the main use that, uh,

00:28:11.720 the Liberals had for the meet last year, as we saw through their text messages that were released

00:28:17.080 through the Trucker Commission. Um, yeah, I don't know what to make of these balloons because I think

00:28:24.520 part of me says, well, there's so many Chinese satellites. I think China has 300 satellites, uh,

00:28:28.760 in the air, uh, a good portion of which are spy satellites. Now I understand from our friend,

00:28:35.320 uh, Gordon Chang, that, uh, a balloon is at a much lower altitude than a satellite and can spy in, in

00:28:42.920 interesting and novel ways. Okay, I believe that. But I think here in Canada, we're already deeply compromised.

00:28:49.320 You can spy on what our MPs are saying, but what if you actually install a spy in parliament itself?

00:29:01.160 So many news stories today. I don't know if you have, uh, the, the, um, morning note that Jason sends

00:29:07.320 out at 7 30 AM, Olivia, just half the stories in there are about Chinese intervention in our parliament,

00:29:16.200 Chinese intervention in our elections, China compromising MPs, uh, the police on several

00:29:22.200 occasions warning Trudeau about compromised politicians. Like if you literally are a, an MP

00:29:30.040 or a cabinet minister, federally, provincially, who is, yeah, look at this. CSIS warned Trudeau about

00:29:38.680 Toronto area politicians alleged ties to Chinese diplomats. That's in the Globe and Mail. And there's

00:29:44.680 so many stories like that today alone, aren't there? If you got one or two more, let's just show them.

00:29:50.600 So my point is, there's a politician that the CSIS is so worried about, they're telling Trudeau about,

00:29:57.560 here's another one. Oh yeah, we got that one already. Um, here's one from Blacklocks. 1.00

00:30:05.560 Uh, were the Chinese, uh, uh, federal election, no cop probe of vote claims. The RCMP yesterday said

00:30:18.520 it did not conduct any criminal investigation of alleged Chinese intelligence in the 2019

00:30:23.560 federal election. Members of the House Affairs Committee said the testimony was not reassuring

00:30:29.240 and repeated claims of illegality. I am very, very frustrated right now with the lack of information.

00:30:34.040 So there were MPs who were critical of communist China, who, according to reports, were targeted by

00:30:43.000 China in the election. And China managed to replace the skeptical pro-freedom MPs with pro-CCP MPs.

00:30:54.360 And the RCMP doesn't have a word to say. And I can understand why, because CSIS warns Trudeau about

00:31:00.360 it and he doesn't care. So my point to you is, all right, which is more dangerous? Having a hot air balloon

00:31:06.360 60,000 feet in the sky? Okay. Or having a bag of hot air literally inside parliament, in the Senate,

00:31:14.280 in the provincial parliament? I, um, I think having actual infiltration in our government is far more

00:31:22.520 dangerous. So that's Canada for you. Uh, you know what, there's an, an interesting moment in a

00:31:30.200 committee, and those are words that aren't often said together. The government, besides having

00:31:35.480 debates and question period and things like that, they have committees that examine matters and

00:31:40.680 sometimes call experts. And, um, most of the time the experts are practiced at what Orwell would call

00:31:47.640 duck speak, just blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, saying very little, very long.

00:31:54.440 Uh, but the other day there was, uh, Canada's chief science advisor was called to testify

00:32:03.480 and asked about this crazy idea. You know, Trudeau wants to transition away from fossil fuels.

00:32:12.120 Uh, the world is not ready to transition away from them. Trudeau personally loves his private jet more

00:32:16.840 than just about anybody, but he wants to transition off fossil fuels. Apparently he wants to transition

00:32:22.040 off farming also. So between energy and food, I'm not sure how anybody's supposed to live, but don't

00:32:27.880 worry, Trudeau won't go hungry. But the, the chief science advisor was asked about a proposal that

00:32:36.200 they're following in the Netherlands and that Trudeau has expressed a support for here in Canada,

00:32:41.800 which is to require farmers to reduce the amount of fertilizer by 30%. Well, that's ridiculous. 0.74

00:32:49.000 You're going to reduce crops. You're going to reduce yield. You're going to reduce 0.94

00:32:53.320 food. You're going to make, you're going to reduce the supply. So, you know, supply and demand.

00:32:57.480 Why are you making food scarcer and more expensive? So look at this exchange between

00:33:05.400 conservative MPs, I believe, and Canada's chief science advisor on the question of,

00:33:11.720 hey, by the way, did the government even study

00:33:15.800 what the consequences would be if this insane ideological rule were passed? Take a look at this.

00:33:21.080 Dr. Neymar, my questions are for you today. Your mandate includes, and I quote, advising on ways to

00:33:29.160 ensure that scientific knowledge is considered in public policy decisions and that the government

00:33:33.880 science is fully available to the public, end quote. Has the government asked you to produce any

00:33:39.000 scientific reports or advice on the impact that reducing fertilizer emissions by 30% would have on

00:33:44.120 Canada's food production? The short answer is no, not on that particular topic.

00:33:54.120 That's a good answer. Couldn't be clearer. And it stuns the MP. He wasn't ready for that.

00:34:00.840 The answer is no on this particular topic. Okay. Thank you. Have you personally seen any

00:34:06.280 scientific reports or studies to suggest that the government's 30% fertilizer emissions target can be

00:34:10.680 met without decreasing food production? Well, I can tell you that if we want to go seriously about

00:34:20.280 our targets, we're going to need to consider actions in many different sectors, including agriculture,

00:34:29.080 including transportation, including housing. But I think that in terms of the agriculture and agri-food,

00:34:36.120 there are huge opportunities for the country. I think that we need to change our behaviors in terms

00:34:44.360 of food waste wastage. But there are great areas of potential innovation in terms of agriculture, of

00:34:54.600 precision agriculture, that we can reap all the benefit of the genomic revolutions, of even traditional

00:35:02.600 knowledge that we talked about a lot. We know how we integrate it with other things and determine

00:35:08.200 how we can decrease a lot of the fertilizers that we're using, enhancing the soils in natural

00:35:17.000 manners. I think that science can support us in incredible ways in this. So you have not personally

00:35:23.880 seen any scientific reports or studies to suggest that the government's 30% fertilizer emissions target

00:35:28.840 can be met without decreasing fertilizer or food production. Correct? You haven't seen any science

00:35:34.120 on that. You have not seen any science on that. Well, I haven't seen any report on this.

00:35:42.120 You know what? That was an incredible exchange. Her first answer was the most honest. She said,

00:35:46.040 no, there's no studies. We haven't studied it. No studies on it. We're going to demand farmers use 30%

00:35:51.800 less fertilizer, but we don't know what that's going to do for the amount of food out there. Well,

00:35:55.960 well, what do you think? And then the MP asks a second time, and she goes on some long tangent about

00:36:02.520 we have to change your behavior. Okay. No, thank you. No one asked you to change my behavior.

00:36:10.600 Waste less food. Yeah. Okay. That's a good idea. I don't think that's a major problem.

00:36:16.360 And then she said, oh, and there may be some traditional knowledge about these things.

00:36:20.920 Okay. I thought you were a chief scientist, not sort of a folklore lady, but fair enough. 0.99

00:36:26.680 And then the MP asks the third time and gets the real answer again, which is no,

00:36:30.920 we don't know anything about this. This isn't science. This is politics, which we sort of do.

00:36:36.600 Well, it's 1.37. What a good time to take a short commercial break. We'll see you in just a moment.

00:37:44.600 With my code ALEXA10, you will have 10% off on your next purchase. So don't hesitate, go now and look so good like me.

00:37:57.160 Well, I tell you, Alexa looks so chilly in that little video there, but it looked like she had some really fun gear on. 0.99

00:38:08.680 That Justin Castro shirt is by far our bestseller. If you don't have one, I really recommend it. People love it.

00:38:14.040 I give it as a gift all the time. It works in all languages. Last gift I sent, I sent it to a friend of mine in Quebec City.

00:38:21.560 He loved it. He immediately took a selfie of it and sent me this selfie.

00:38:26.280 If you can go to rebelnewsstore.com, there's actually two versions of our Castro shirt.

00:38:33.320 On the left is just Castro.

00:38:38.360 And you can see Castro is spelled E-A-U, so it's blending how Trudeau is spelled with Castro.

00:38:45.960 And on the right, Justin Castro. Both of them are equally funny. I'd have to check which one of these is the better seller because they, in a way, you want both of them because they're two versions of the same joke.

00:38:59.240 That is such a great shirt. I think I've given that as a gift to five people. It's such a good one. It's such a good, and you know what? Who was I talking to the other day?

00:39:10.120 I can't remember who was telling me that they were wearing that shirt out in public, and someone started hollering at them thinking they were for Trudeau because that was their first reaction.

00:39:25.160 And only a little bit later did they realize it was a joke mocking Trudeau, prickling at Trudeau.

00:39:34.360 So this person on the street went from outrage to see a Trudeau shirt to right on, where can I get one?

00:39:41.040 That's a fun experience to have on the street. You know what?

00:39:44.980 Yesterday I went for a walk, and I encountered three rebel fans along the way, and it really put a spring in my step.

00:39:51.620 It was fun to chat with people from all different walks of life. It was just really fun.

00:39:57.020 I was with a friend who got a chuckle out of it. If you wear the Justin Castro shirt, you will get that same reaction.

00:40:07.100 Now, you've got to be ready to meet strangers. If you are shy, do not wear the Justin Castro shirt because it is a conversation piece.

00:40:18.340 It is a conversation starter because it's funny, and look at that thing. Glance at it, and people are going to think, oh, you support Trudeau?

00:40:32.240 They're going to be mad for one second while their brain processes what they're looking at, and then they're going to get it.

00:40:43.120 They're going to sort of laugh again. They're going to be slightly embarrassed that they were mad a moment ago, and then, of course, they're going to want to talk to you about it.

00:40:54.300 So if you are an introvert that does not want to talk to people, do not wear this shirt outside the house.

00:40:59.280 You can wear it in the house. You can wear it to sleep in. Some people wear T-shirts to sleep.

00:41:02.180 I wear shirts like this when I work out at a very small gym, tiny gym. There's almost nobody there, and that's where I wear my shirts that have strong opinions on them.

00:41:15.800 Yeah, we've got some VHVs shirts. These are great shirts. We've got some trucker shirts.

00:41:21.360 I have a different shirt that's not a Rebel shirt that's a raccoon-eating garbage because that's sort of what Toronto's like under John Tory.

00:41:28.920 Now, I'm not blaming him for the raccoons. They were here first. Some shirts. You know what I wore this morning?

00:41:37.220 I wore it at the gym this morning. I wore my shirt that I got from the Rebel store that said, please don't eat me.

00:41:42.860 It was the Catherine McKennell shirt. So that's the kind of shirt I don't wear too widely because that one takes a lot of explaining,

00:41:52.640 and I'm just a little tired explaining it, to be honest. The moment on that shirt has passed, but I still have the shirt.

00:41:58.920 But that Justin Castro shirt, if you're up for it, if you want to make friends, if you want to have high fives,

00:42:06.020 if you want to get thumbs up, if you want someone even to honk-honk on their horn, if you're a pedestrian,

00:42:11.560 you get that Justin Castro shirt. That will happen to you, even in a liberal city like Toronto.

00:42:18.800 And I tell you that from personal experience.

00:42:20.260 And if you wear that Justin Castro shirt in a place, like I sent it to my friend in Quebec City,

00:42:27.320 I'm trying to think who else I gave him to.

00:42:29.140 You wear that shirt in Alberta, the BC interior. You wear that shirt, well, a lot of places.

00:42:42.160 You are going to make friends who have something in common with you. And those are great friends.

00:42:51.320 Even if it's just like high five for a moment. All right. Don't mind me.

00:42:57.760 I just was impressed with the shirts that were going on there.

00:43:03.140 A couple of more super chats. Fraser McBurney says,

00:43:06.500 Let's have some fun this week. What is your guess? How many UFOs this week are shot down?

00:43:10.920 What did say you?

00:43:12.460 Hey, that's a good one.

00:43:13.680 But, you know, UFOs makes me think of the word aliens, like from another planet.

00:43:18.020 But they're just, they're not aliens. They're just spy planes or something.

00:43:21.860 Yeah, I'd say there'd be a couple more this week. That's a good question.

00:43:27.200 Time says, Thank you, Ezra Reed, Tory, Vile. How deep does this go?

00:43:30.740 How many other politicians went partying and more during the pandemic, i.e. Boris Johnson?

00:43:35.500 Yes. And why now? Well, that's the thing.

00:43:37.640 I don't think there was a single politician that didn't cheat.

00:43:40.020 Because they were absurd rules.

00:43:44.240 And the politicians on the inside knew they were just, they were making it up.

00:43:48.620 There were some people on the outside who, you know, ordinary people who were so trusting of government

00:43:54.060 and wanted to be part of a team spirit moment that they went along with it.

00:43:57.620 But I really felt early like the whole thing was a bit of a scam.

00:44:04.720 Speaking of scams, you know, have you heard about this 15-minute city business?

00:44:10.020 In China, they call that social credit.

00:44:13.180 They have all these checkpoints where you've got to show your data, show your card,

00:44:19.700 or you won't be let into the next zone.

00:44:22.820 Of course, in prison, they call that a cell block.

00:44:26.620 Oh, you want to go to that next cell block?

00:44:28.740 Sorry, you've got to be in this area here.

00:44:32.040 But free people are not supposed to live that way.

00:44:34.040 Maybe communist China lives that way.

00:44:36.220 Maybe a prison lives that way. 0.99

00:44:37.520 But you and I are not meant to live that way.

00:44:39.640 If we want to hang out in our neighborhood, we will.

00:44:41.740 If we want to go visit our friends in another neighborhood, we will.

00:44:44.400 If we want to, you know, it's a very Canadian-American way of thinking.

00:44:48.000 There are parts of the world that are not car first.

00:44:52.920 But America and Canada was quintessentially automobile.

00:44:58.760 Because what does the car say?

00:45:00.600 It says, I can go when I want, where I want, how I want, and I don't have to answer to anybody.

00:45:09.840 There are some places that try and force you to do public transit, try and force you to do bicycles.

00:45:14.660 Here's a video from GB News.

00:45:19.380 Actually, the one you have there was a good one.

00:45:21.560 The one you just had there.

00:45:22.860 They set up these bollards or big planters to block roads.

00:45:28.840 And, you know, how does that work when there's an ambulance that needs to get by?

00:45:32.720 You know, there's all sorts of great video out there you can find of people in the dead of night destroying those.

00:45:39.960 Like, basically, they're blocking off roads in cities.

00:45:44.560 I think, yeah, GB News, it was the fifth vid you had.

00:45:49.640 Yeah.

00:45:52.540 Let's read that one.

00:45:53.760 Let's read that tweet there.

00:45:57.120 Is that Mark Dolan?

00:45:58.640 I think.

00:46:02.620 These deeply illiberal, un-British, 15-minute cities are beyond the pale.

00:46:09.960 They're hurting communities, hurting small businesses, and they've got to go.

00:46:16.020 And it didn't take me 15 minutes to work that out.

00:46:19.800 Mark Dolan on the dystopian plans for so-called 15 minutes.

00:46:23.640 He says, I don't want to play the whole thing, but why don't we play just two minutes of it?

00:46:27.520 This guy's so good.

00:46:28.340 He's very funny, by the way.

00:46:29.960 It's on GB News.

00:46:30.680 Take a look.

00:46:31.060 What can you do in 15 minutes?

00:46:36.620 Empty the washing machine and hang up your fresh laundry?

00:46:40.620 Read a couple of chapters of your favorite book?

00:46:43.440 Watch half an episode of How I Met Your Mother?

00:46:46.620 Well, creepy local authority bureaucrats would like to see your entire existence boiled down to the duration of a quarter of an hour,

00:46:55.300 with the arrival of so-called 15-minute cities.

00:47:00.020 This dystopian plan will see roads in some of Britain's most iconic towns and cities being blocked off,

00:47:07.480 with cars being restricted to certain areas, all overseen by number plate recognition cameras installed everywhere,

00:47:15.580 with a surveillance culture that would make Pyongyang envious.

00:47:19.700 In some places, your car would have an allowance to drive on certain streets for a fixed number of days in the year.

00:47:29.100 Some roads out of bounds to all.

00:47:32.500 Many consider this idea laudable.

00:47:35.300 15-minute cities make everything walkable.

00:47:37.720 You can go by foot to grab a coffee, do your grocery shopping, have a pint.

00:47:42.980 And if you don't fancy walking, everything you need is just a five-minute bicycle ride away.

00:47:48.400 Lovely.

00:47:49.700 Fans of this scheme say it will deal with traffic and congestion and make life easier, more convenient and sustainable for locals.

00:47:59.100 Except that, as the MP Nick Fletcher, who's raised a question about this in Parliament, points out,

00:48:05.280 these low-traffic neighbourhoods are having an impact on small businesses,

00:48:10.120 given the lack of passing trade they now receive.

00:48:12.980 Take a listen.

00:48:13.420 To the leader, please set aside some time in this house for a debate on the international socialist concept of so-called 15-minute cities and 20-minute neighbourhoods.

00:48:22.680 Ultra-low-emission zones in their present form do untold economic damage to any city.

00:48:29.140 However, the second step after these zones will take away personal freedoms as well.

00:48:34.200 Sheffield is already on this journey, and I do not want Doncaster, which is also a Labour-run socialist council, to do the same.

00:48:41.620 Low-emission zones cost a taxpayer money, simple as.

00:48:44.980 However, 15-minute cities will cost us our personal freedom, and that cannot be right.

00:48:52.240 Well, the minister who answered his question, Penny Mordaunt, did not disagree.

00:48:56.700 So, projects like ultra-low-emission zones in central London and other British cities is arguably impacting enterprise and is most certainly curtailing our way of life.

00:49:09.760 The Telegraph today report that a low-traffic neighbourhood scheme in Haringey in North London

00:49:15.260 has blocked off certain residential streets with cameras or planters to stop motor traffic using the neighbourhood as a through route.

00:49:24.840 The council defended its actions, saying it aims to make it safer and easier to walk, wheel, scoot, cycle and shop locally.

00:49:36.180 Six months on, however, and the paper reports that three-quarters of traders on one Haringey Street in particular

00:49:43.600 are thinking of leaving in the next 18 months, and three have already shut up shop.

00:49:49.840 One of them is My Little Home Emporium, a once-bustling vintage furniture shop that now stands shuttered and derelict,

00:49:58.940 with low-traffic neighbourhood planters blocking the road.

00:50:03.720 It goes on a little bit.

00:50:05.240 I tell you, I highly recommend GB News if you don't already watch it.

00:50:08.700 You can download the app here in North America.

00:50:11.520 Obviously, it's based in London, but I've been following it literally since its debut.

00:50:16.540 It was started by Andrew Neal, who is a very famous journalist and interviewer.

00:50:21.680 He left pretty soon after he launched it and, frankly, bad-mouthed it out the door.

00:50:26.180 But they've lived on.

00:50:28.920 They're thriving.

00:50:30.780 Mark Dolan was new to me.

00:50:33.060 Neil Oliver, the Scot, is new to me.

00:50:36.740 Really, they introduced me to so many amazing Brits who care about freedom

00:50:41.240 and who've been given this amazing platform.

00:50:43.520 It really is on normal TV.

00:50:45.780 It's not just an online entity.

00:50:48.400 It's – and it's done so well, like, in the ratings.

00:50:52.900 So I'm just delighted by their success.

00:50:55.120 Pardon me.

00:50:57.140 So, oh, by the way, my point is download their app,

00:51:00.000 and you can watch it anytime or just follow them on Twitter.

00:51:03.160 Now, it's 1.52.

00:51:04.280 We don't have too much more time left, but there's some crazy news out there, isn't it?

00:51:10.720 But, you know, the New York Times had an op-ed the other day by a Yale professor.

00:51:23.520 You know, what is it with the left and suicide?

00:51:27.100 Like, why are they pro – well, the answer is because they're pro-death.

00:51:30.160 You know, on the one hand, you know, there are people who are called pro-life,

00:51:34.600 and they're generally against abortion, against euthanasia,

00:51:37.860 and they often are against the death penalty too, by the way.

00:51:42.080 You could call them pro-life.

00:51:43.960 They're often Christian, but not always.

00:51:47.260 But the left, the culture of death, pro-death, pro-euthanasia, pro –

00:51:52.160 like, just why?

00:51:55.160 Why?

00:51:57.780 In some cases, like Bill Gates, they just think there are too many people in the world.

00:52:01.320 Let me read to you the headline from the New York Times.

00:52:05.360 A Yale professor suggested mass suicide for old people in Japan.

00:52:11.380 What did he mean?

00:52:13.440 Yusuke Narita says he is mainly addressing a growing effort

00:52:18.360 to revamp Japan's age-based hierarchy.

00:52:21.220 Still, he has pushed the country's hottest button.

00:52:25.180 And, of course, they're going to give him a glowing platform in the New York Times.

00:52:29.780 They're so excited about this.

00:52:32.900 This is the same New York Times that –

00:52:35.360 was it Tom Cotton or Josh Hawley?

00:52:37.900 Had an op-ed in there talking about perhaps using the military

00:52:42.280 to stop the endless Antifa riots,

00:52:45.040 and that caused a struggle session,

00:52:47.660 and the editorial pages editor to be fired.

00:52:51.160 That's beyond the pale.

00:52:52.440 But someone's saying, 1.00

00:52:53.540 well, let's just kill our old folks because they're old. 1.00

00:52:58.220 Why would you kill the elderly? 1.00

00:53:01.120 Because they're elderly? 1.00

00:53:02.800 Duh.

00:53:04.060 Oh, that sounds like a real intellectual.

00:53:06.520 Sounds like a real intellectual.

00:53:08.360 Of course, he's a Yale professor.

00:53:11.360 Unbelievable.

00:53:12.060 Speaking of universities.

00:53:12.900 I didn't know this, and I don't know if I believe this,

00:53:15.820 and I've got some thoughts about this,

00:53:17.800 but I see that universities claim to be able to cancel –

00:53:23.380 well, here, it's in the Telegraph of London,

00:53:25.140 perhaps one of the most prestigious papers in the world –

00:53:28.140 universities can cancel your degree for wrong think,

00:53:30.840 and there's no right, no real right to appeal.

00:53:33.540 The government's free speech reforms may let students sue,

00:53:37.640 but they will be no use to those who don't have the money to do so.

00:53:41.500 You know, this kind of after-the-fact unpersoning of people is really gross.

00:53:52.060 Either you earned your degree or you didn't.

00:53:55.160 You paid your money.

00:53:56.320 You completed your contract.

00:53:58.340 In fact, you may have even signed a contract.

00:54:01.300 Here, let me read a few lines from this story in the Telegraph.

00:54:03.860 Imagine this scenario.

00:54:06.820 You're a fifth-year doctoral student.

00:54:08.600 You've done everything you're meant to – studied, researched, and completed dissertation.

00:54:12.500 You're on the cusp of getting your degree,

00:54:14.560 but in the final months, a fresh batch of complaints about your conduct services,

00:54:19.440 and the university decides to deny you a PhD.

00:54:22.640 What, you might wonder, could this student possibly have done to deserve such a crushing punishment?

00:54:27.860 Did they break the law?

00:54:29.260 Was their work subpar?

00:54:30.280 No, it was nothing like that.

00:54:31.900 In fact, to read through the investigatory evidence on this real case, as I have done,

00:54:36.180 is to delve into a litany of pettiness that almost defies belief.

00:54:41.120 I wish I could name the student,

00:54:42.620 but the person is reluctant to have their name associated with the penalty they are powerless to overturn,

00:54:47.320 so I'll instead try to summarize the case.

00:54:49.680 Anyhow, you can imagine the political correctness.

00:54:51.980 Now, that's someone still in school, but what if you're done school?

00:54:56.220 I don't know.

00:54:56.660 I would imagine that these universities need to be sued.

00:54:59.700 I think they need to be shaken up.

00:55:01.580 I think that the universities, and Jordan Peterson says this a lot, they really are a scam.

00:55:09.800 When Jordan Peterson spoke at a Democracy Fund event in December,

00:55:13.840 he said that one of the real purposes of a university,

00:55:18.400 he said this, and I don't think he was joking,

00:55:20.320 and I don't think it's a joke, is to find a spouse.

00:55:23.260 What?

00:55:24.460 Well, because you're going to be, they're vetting people from the right background,

00:55:28.400 and are they smart enough, and are they wealthy enough,

00:55:30.640 and do they have the same sort of station in life?

00:55:35.960 And if you spend $150,000 in tuition or whatever,

00:55:42.760 but find a wife or a husband, said Jordan Peterson,

00:55:46.740 well, maybe that's worth it.

00:55:48.340 That's not actually what they're selling,

00:55:50.020 but if that's what they're delivering, that's not a bad thing to deliver.

00:55:52.400 He said, obviously, the main thing they deliver is a credential.

00:55:56.280 You're one of us.

00:55:57.140 You jump through the same hoop.

00:55:58.320 You're our kind.

00:55:59.440 You're not some grubby, unwashed, blue-collar person.

00:56:02.940 You're part of our club, our clique.

00:56:04.800 You have the same aesthetic sense we do.

00:56:06.880 You have the same, you listen to the same music.

00:56:08.820 You go to the same restaurants.

00:56:09.940 You have the same political opinions as us.

00:56:11.860 You watch the same news.

00:56:13.260 You watch news at all.

00:56:14.360 So you're our kind.

00:56:17.460 Really, it's that credentialism that the universities are selling.

00:56:23.480 And you could say, in a way, that getting married is the ultimate credential.

00:56:27.780 It's the ultimate job application.

00:56:30.540 You're being vetted just like an employer would vet you.

00:56:33.460 A future spouse is vetting you.

00:56:34.800 So, yeah, I think that the value of university, I mean, this engineering is still a profession and a kind of trade.

00:56:44.420 You know, there are real things to learn and not just to expand your mind.

00:56:48.140 But so much of university these days is just daycare for grownups.

00:56:51.200 You know that's true.

00:56:54.060 Well, it's almost the top of the hour, and I've got to go.

00:56:56.540 I've got to do other things here at Rebel News.

00:56:58.180 It's been a pleasure to hang out with you.

00:56:59.580 Thanks to Olivia in the control room for furnishing the videos and the stories as I read them.

00:57:03.980 Thanks to our super chatters.

00:57:05.640 I appreciate it.

00:57:06.780 Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, goodbye.

00:57:13.720 And keep fighting for freedom.

00:57:16.440 Some would say that there is no greater example of the weakness of our Air Force capacity than watching American jets destroying flying objects over Canadian soil.

00:57:26.580 Why was it American jets that shut down the object?

00:57:29.400 NORAD is a joint command, which means we do things together over North America.

00:57:37.560 And there were Canadian and American fighter jets scrambled to intercept the object and to take it down.

00:57:46.320 It was very much based on the context and the situations of who was there, who had the capacity to do it before we lost the object into darkness or into situations.

00:57:57.020 Our focus was not on which side gets credit for what.

00:58:03.120 Our focus was on running the operation smoothly and successfully.

00:58:07.340 That's what NORAD is all about.

00:58:08.920 And that's a perfect example of how seamlessly we work together.

00:58:12.080 Thank you.
