Rebel News Podcast - DAILY Roundup ｜ 'Mostly peaceful' PSAC strike continues, Police protect climate protesters

00:00:00.000 Well, I asked, where's the beef? Let's call this for what this is. Oh my God. They are so

00:00:07.800 hopelessly woke. How dare you? That is the intellectual capital of the left today. Give

00:00:15.240 me a break. You are now watching the Daily Roundup.

00:00:21.640 Oh, hi everybody. Ezra Levant here in our world headquarters. What a pleasure to be back in the

00:00:26.260 see. Most of the time it's my friend David Benzies and Sheila Gunn-Reed co-hosting

00:00:30.040 live stream, but every once in a while I like to do it. I am a little bit ahead of

00:00:34.240 my work, so it's a pleasure to be here. I should tell you that tonight on the Ezra

00:00:38.840 Levant show, which is my evening show behind our paywall, we will be having a

00:00:44.040 feature interview with Brian Peckford, the former premier of Newfoundland. And

00:00:49.680 what's interesting about him, he's a very interesting guy. He's got a lot to say

00:00:53.000 about a lot of things, but from a historical point of view, he is the last

00:00:56.860 living premier to have negotiated and signed the Charter of Rights and

00:01:02.600 Freedoms. You know, he's tantamount to a father of confederation. Obviously, there

00:01:10.100 was a group of people who built Canada in 1867, but I'm talking about the people

00:01:15.720 who 40-odd years ago enshrined our civil liberties in our supreme law, our

00:01:22.260 constitution. And so I find it very interesting to talk to him because, of

00:01:28.260 course, over the years and the decades and the centuries, is the law being

00:01:34.700 applied in the manner intended by the signers, the framers, the founders? And when

00:01:40.720 we talk to Brian Peckford, we can see he's not even passed away yet, thank God, may he

00:01:47.360 live to be 120, but they're already moving away from the purpose and the intention of

00:01:54.460 the framers of the Charter. I won't go on any more about it. I invite you to tune in

00:01:58.420 at 8 p.m. If you don't know how to watch Rebel News Plus, my show is on Rebel News Plus.

00:02:10.560 every weeknight. And I try and be here all the time. Once in a while, I do have to travel

00:02:14.500 so we have guest hosts, but we never miss a show. So anyways, I'm looking forward to that

00:02:20.300 tonight. Brian Peckford, 8 p.m. Eastern time. One of the things I see on the corner of my

00:02:26.200 eye are videos from the PSAC protests. PSAC is the Public Service Alliance of Canada, I

00:02:33.760 think. It's a big government union. And they're on strike. And did we show that video the other

00:02:43.400 day, the one that felt like, you know, I don't know if you remember, there were all these videos

00:02:48.140 before Elon Musk bought Twitter of a day in the life of an HR worker at Twitter, a day in the life

00:02:58.200 of a sensor at Twitter. Like I think the majority of staff at Twitter were in these bizarre soft jobs

00:03:06.940 with no real deliverables and certainly nothing to do with the engineering of the product or the user

00:03:13.280 experience. They were just sort of like barnacles on a ship. And when Twitter was young and it was

00:03:18.880 like a canoe, there weren't many barnacles, but later as it became as large as an aircraft carrier,

00:03:24.180 there were a gazillion barnacles on the ship. And there were, and I know that Elon Musk saw some

00:03:31.000 of these. I mean, they were, it was just incredible what it was like at Twitter according to these

00:03:36.260 videos. You know, all free breakfast, free lunch, free supper, gyms, yoga, you know, nap rooms, games

00:03:45.260 rooms. I don't know if they actually did any work. And I think the answer to that is I don't think

00:03:51.000 they were doing work even when they weren't getting those free drinks. They were, you know,

00:03:56.820 they were just living off the avails of the platform. And when Elon Musk sacked thousands of

00:04:06.800 them, they squawked and squawked. But speaking as a Twitter user, I really don't see any difference in

00:04:14.300 the user experience. I think you've got it on the screen there. Yeah, I just want to, and I want to

00:04:20.080 compare that to, uh, to some of these PSAC videos. Yeah. But the one you've got the screen

00:04:26.340 that, that looks like the kind of thing day in the life of a Twitter, uh, worker. Yeah. Let's show

00:04:31.760 this just to give people what I'm talking about. Okay. So this past week went to SF for the first

00:04:36.580 time at a Twitter office, badged in, honestly took a moment to just soak everything in. What a blessing.

00:04:44.160 Also started my morning off with an iced matcha from the perch. Then I had a meeting. So

00:04:49.500 quickly scheduled one of these little pod rooms, which were so cool. They're literally noise

00:04:54.720 canceling. Took my meeting, got ready for a bunch. Look how delicious this food looks. Oh my goodness.

00:05:01.060 I was so overwhelmed. Then made my way down to this log cabin area. I don't know what this is,

00:05:07.420 but it was really cool. I played some food with all of my friends to kind of unwind a bit. Um,

00:05:13.480 also found this really cool meditation room that I thought was super neat. Um, I didn't do any yoga,

00:05:21.500 but they have this yoga room if you are a yogi. So also thought that was really cool. Um, had a

00:05:27.920 couple more meetings in the afternoon, had a ton of projects that we needed to knock out. So I went to

00:05:32.280 my teammates, um, went to the, went to the library to kind of get some more work done, obviously had to

00:05:39.720 have our afternoon coffee. So made some espresso. And then before leaving for the day, had some red

00:05:45.720 wine, um, that's on tap, went up to the rooftop and just honestly enjoyed the beautiful weather.

00:05:53.660 So awesome trip. My favorite, absolute favorite part of that was when she said, I need to unwind a bit

00:06:01.620 because she had such a, such a busy day. You've got unwind after that wine on tap. I mean, you know,

00:06:10.760 we, we've got snacks here. We used to have a ton of snacks, but the idea of wine on tap, and she said,

00:06:17.840 and then it was nice nighttime. So I headed, uh, to the rooftop, uh, and she went there and it did

00:06:25.060 not look like nighttime to me. It looked like it was still, uh, in the middle of the business day,

00:06:31.300 but, um, yeah, absolutely. Now, did you find that tweet I did from that one gal who had, I think it

00:06:39.200 was, yeah. Uh, yeah, that's it. That's exactly right. That's the one there. Tell me if this isn't

00:06:45.740 the exact same vibe as those lazy, do nothing overpaid, over pampered, over privilege, Twitter

00:06:52.440 workers. Now there were only, I think 8,000 of them at Twitter. There's 155,000 of them in the

00:06:59.340 federal government list. And I think it's also that up talking tone of voice. Take a listen.

00:07:07.080 Today is day two of our strike as a federal employee. Gurley, there was a really big turnout

00:07:13.700 at Parliament Hill today. Uh, we started off by signing in and we grabbed a little coffee.

00:07:18.660 Okay. If you're from Ottawa, please don't judge me, but I've actually never been to Little

00:07:22.180 Victories. It was my first time, but it had the cutest vibe and really, really good coffee. So

00:07:27.920 we picked up some coffee and hit the road again. My friends started explaining how to install a

00:07:34.480 diva cup. And honestly, I think after this explanation, I'm a fan and I'm going to probably

00:07:39.640 try it. You know what your thoughts are on the diva cup because everyone I talked to loves it. We

00:07:44.680 finished the day off at Parliament and it was really nice and sunny, but honestly, I was just happy to

00:07:50.520 leave and get food. But today is day two of our... Yeah. Uh, I mean, like I totally went to this

00:07:56.480 amazing coffee place and it had a great vibe. And, um, you know, I want to let you know something

00:08:02.400 because the federal bureaucrat payment system, which is called the Phoenix or something doesn't

00:08:08.760 work because it doesn't work and it hasn't worked for years and they spent billions of dollars on it.

00:08:12.900 Um, these strikers are still getting paid. I want to let you know that there's a global mail story

00:08:18.980 to that effect. I think yesterday, these strikers are actually still getting paid, but I put it to you.

00:08:23.500 They are doing no less work now than they did last week. How do you know they're on strike? Are you

00:08:29.400 sure? Are you sure about that? Uh, I mean, last year I tried to get my passport renewed. It took

00:08:38.220 what, six months when they were not on strike. Uh, is it any different now? Um, I don't really know.

00:08:45.940 I bet it's quicker. I bet it's quicker now. How about the airport man? Yeah, look at that.

00:08:50.480 PSAC workers strike. Federal public servants will continue getting regular salaries until at least

00:08:55.320 May 10th. That's just so amazing. And again, who's even tracking it? Who even cares? It's just

00:09:04.340 government money. And on the one hand, you've got the government negotiating with the government union

00:09:10.420 and they're using play money. They're using other people's dough. It's other people's money. And, um,

00:09:16.480 what do they care? Justin Trudeau had a statement about it today. I haven't seen this yet. Let's

00:09:23.620 watch it together. Justin Trudeau talking about the strike. Does he even notice? I don't know. Let's

00:09:29.440 take a listen.

00:09:30.920 It just got a handle on things like the passport backlog and trying to make headway on immigration

00:09:35.320 backlog. And now there's the risk that it starts all over again. What is your response to that?

00:09:39.000 Is it frustrating for you that you're back to ground zero here?

00:09:41.480 Well, I think first of all, understanding the importance of defending, uh, the rights to

00:09:47.520 collective bargaining, the rights people have to, to a job action. This is something that's

00:09:52.580 really important for our government. So yes, it's frustrating to know that, uh, Canadians may,

00:09:58.480 as the days come, uh, have more difficulty accessing services, uh, but that's a motivator for everyone

00:10:04.160 to try and resolve this. The union is certainly very aware of Canadians, uh, impatience and they 0.98

00:10:10.660 have to calibrate that carefully. Uh, as a government, we are there to respect, uh, collective

00:10:15.800 bargaining. We're there to make progress at the table. And right now progress is being

00:10:20.020 made. There's an ebb and flow in these negotiations always, but, uh, we're going to continue to

00:10:25.220 stay positive.

00:10:27.220 First of all, what does that mean? It's a motivator for everyone to settle.

00:10:32.580 Well, why would peace act be motivated? What do they care? Like literally, what do they

00:10:37.040 care? They're, they're negotiating against perhaps the worst negotiator in the world right

00:10:40.980 now. Justin Trudeau negotiated a payment to Volkswagen, one of the largest companies in

00:10:48.820 the world, a $13 billion payment to have them build a $7 billion factory in Ontario. He is

00:10:56.920 literally the world's worst negotiator. And, uh, the only thing worse than this answer was

00:11:03.520 the stupidity of the question. Is it frustrating for you? Hey, Justin Trudeau, you're not the 1.00

00:11:09.920 decider here. You're not the prime minister. You're not the decision maker. You're not the,

00:11:15.000 the one who has any response of responsibility here. So I'm not going to ask you, why did you

00:11:20.720 let this happen? Or how much money are you going to blow making this go away? I'm going

00:11:25.400 to ask you a feelings question that implies you're the victim. Is it frustrating for you?

00:11:31.380 In fact, the preamble was implying that he, that he had fixed things. He had fixed the

00:11:38.580 passport mask. He had fixed the immigration backlog. He had fixed the air. Are you, is

00:11:45.060 it frustrating for you, prime minister? You fixed everything. You did personally. And these

00:11:51.240 people are being so frustrating. Aren't you frustrated? That's your question. I wonder who

00:11:57.840 the reporter was, but really doesn't matter. They're all non-player characters. They're all

00:12:03.060 clones. They're all, you know, they're all on the same team. There is no difference between a global

00:12:08.640 news reporter and a CBC reporter and trial store reporter and global mail reporter on one or two

00:12:13.620 issues. Uh, you know, on the China issue, I think global and global mail have stepped up

00:12:19.040 for the first time in eight years. But, um, yeah, prime minister, you've done such a great job.

00:12:26.560 Aren't you frustrated with these strikers? Yeah. Um, I sent you a few more vids in the,

00:12:33.920 in the Slack channel there. I just saw a few vids and I just, I want to show you, um, who these

00:12:40.960 strikers are. And these just made me chuckle. Do you want to play some of those vids I sent you?

00:12:44.560 Yeah. Like just, like just, yeah, I don't know exactly what that is. And listen, my dancing's not

00:13:07.480 much better. That reminds me a little bit of Elaine Bennis for those who are over 40 and, you know,

00:13:11.920 the dancing moves she had that were sort of epileptic. Um, a little bit cringe. They reminded 0.97

00:13:19.480 me of those dance videos that the board nurses did. Yeah. Here's another one. What's the sound

00:13:25.180 on this one?

00:13:41.260 Okay. Uh, what's the next one? I think I sent over three or four. I don't even remember what they were.

00:13:45.700 I just sort of clipped them. Let's take a look at this next one.

00:13:49.340 You know, it reminds me of, uh, the demographics of the public sector union, which was, uh,

00:14:19.320 which is overwhelmingly middle-aged women. And there's nothing wrong with that. There's some 1.00

00:14:23.460 jobs that are overwhelmingly male construction, working, deep sea fishing, uh, military prison

00:14:29.800 guards. These are overwhelmingly male jobs. And being a government sector bureaucrat is overwhelmingly

00:14:35.500 a middle-aged woman's job, which may also explain why Trudeau is so sympathetic to them. Because if you

00:14:40.460 look at demographics, every single poll, uh, Trudeau has a very strong wage gap, men simply do not vote

00:14:48.520 for Justin Trudeau. And young men, the last poll I saw that broke it down by demographics,

00:14:53.840 young men, I'm talking about men between 18 and 29 who vote liberal, who say they will vote liberal.

00:15:00.960 It's less than 20%. And in the prairies to try and find a man under 30 who votes liberal, it's,

00:15:14.760 it's getting down there close to 10%. And that's the funny thing about a way at gender gap like that 0.98

00:15:22.940 is let's say the liberals are at, I don't know, I'm just going to pick a number of 30% in the polls

00:15:28.600 and they have a gender gap. So I'm just going to make up a number. So that implies that they're

00:15:34.240 at 20% with men and 40% with women, right? If it's averaging out of 30. And I'm just making up 0.83

00:15:40.040 numbers here, although they are around 30. So there's two ways you can express that. You could

00:15:44.420 say, oh my God, the conservatives have a gender problem with women. Or you could say, oh my God, 1.00

00:15:51.240 the liberals have a problem with men. No men support Justin Trudeau. How, how has it been phrased

00:15:58.580 these last eight years? Because a disproportionate number of men vote conservative. That's not a

00:16:06.080 positive thing though. It's positive that Justin Trudeau has a disproportionate number of women. 0.99

00:16:11.320 I expect he will give these middle-aged liberal voting bureaucrat women an enormous payout because 1.00

00:16:18.120 they're on his team. They're his base. There's not a lot of anger in those protests. There's not a lot

00:16:24.240 of conviction at all because they're not really striking over anything. They haven't been hard

00:16:29.200 done by. They've been getting, you know, the government is spending more now on the public

00:16:33.540 sector than they literally ever have in history. There's nothing to be complained about. It's just

00:16:38.540 an opportunistic cash grab. I presume there'll be an election perhaps later this year. So they just

00:16:43.520 want to get the money now thinking that they can put pressure on Trudeau so he doesn't have a strike

00:16:48.080 before the election. Now it's, it's interesting because the last time I was at a public protest

00:16:55.880 in Ottawa was just over a year ago, a year and a couple months ago, I guess, when I went to Ottawa

00:17:03.560 for what I knew would be special. I didn't realize how history making it would be. I'm talking about

00:17:09.920 the trucker protest, a peaceful protest, um, that did two things wrong, uh, from a legal point of

00:17:19.060 view. There were people who parked where they shouldn't have parked for longer than they

00:17:24.060 parked. So they, it was a parking tickets and they honked their horns, uh, at night. And I would,

00:17:31.820 I would agree with the characterization that they caused a disturbance. Um, I think that's,

00:17:37.180 that was their point. And when local residents went to a judge and said, could you make them

00:17:42.460 stop honking their horns, please? The judge issued an order to that effect and the trucker stopped.

00:17:48.760 So there was no violence. There were no threats. The government was so desperate to trump up that

00:17:53.600 narrative that there was violence, that they ascribed violence to the convoy that was not

00:17:57.900 the convoys. They claimed some arson was the convoy's fault. Obviously that's laughable,

00:18:03.320 but the media and the liberals, but I repeat myself, were so horny for that story. They ran it.

00:18:08.840 But let me contrast that with these PSAC workers. Let me start with a modest thing. Um, there was

00:18:14.720 some therapist clinic for disabled kids and the shouting and the swearing and the banging of the 0.99

00:18:23.640 PSAC workers outside was terrifying the special needs kids. Uh, and they, they put out a little

00:18:30.280 message to this effect here. Take a look at this little video. Although we were spent your right

00:18:39.580 to strike, we were asking strikers to find another public space since the constant honking and yelling

00:18:47.140 are scaring our special needs children who come to therapy at our clinic. Very peaceful,

00:18:55.180 very respectful, very pleasant letter. Um, how's that different from the truckers? Well,

00:19:03.320 yeah, but that's not it. See, that's just being noisy. By the way, I think you have the right to be

00:19:14.480 noisy. And listen, you don't want to upset kids. Uh, we have worked very hard to create

00:19:20.400 welcoming. Anyhow, listen, so, so they're, they're worried about the noise for these special

00:19:29.700 needs kids and I'm not going to be too dainty about it. You know, peaceful protests, you're allowed

00:19:34.820 to make a little bit of noise. Even if you don't really know why you're striking, uh, and you just

00:19:40.220 want extra money cause you're a liberal and you think you deserve it. That's fine. But I saw a video,

00:19:46.640 Efron, do you know, the one where they, they kicked a car and attacked a car and threatened

00:19:50.620 and there was some violence? Yeah. Let's take a look at this one. This is city news, striking

00:19:55.420 federal workers escalate. Take a look. And now on day six with no deal in sight, things are ramping up.

00:20:04.800 Our cameras captured a clash between striking workers and a driver leaving the service center

00:20:10.140 this morning. We are asking people to sort of stand with us in solidarity for a moment for 10 minutes.

00:20:16.640 Uh, previously we were holding people for five minutes. Um, but now we're doing 10 minutes.

00:20:20.620 Uh, people have been pretty receptive actually. Um, so that's great. Uh, we haven't had too many

00:20:26.460 issues. Another tactic now coming into play, disrupt the economy. A media rep for the public service

00:20:32.880 Alliance of Canada tells me as of today, striking workers are hampering access to some Canadian ports,

00:20:39.380 including the port of Montreal. And now on day. Oh, just that, eh? Well, funny. Cause, um,

00:20:47.940 when the truckers briefly blocked the ambassador bridge between Windsor, Ontario and Detroit,

00:20:54.940 Michigan, the police moved in pretty heavy. And that was one of the last straws before Trudeau said,

00:21:01.380 this is an economic crisis. We must deploy the military or, uh, riot police. Um,

00:21:09.380 so you've got blocking cars. I think they were kicking the car also.

00:21:16.700 They're saying we are detaining people for five or 10 minutes. Oh, is, can you do that? Can I do that

00:21:22.500 to you? Can I hold you prisoner? Can I falsely imprison you for five or 10 minutes and brag about

00:21:27.840 it to the media and have silence from the police and from the government? The truckers honked their

00:21:33.560 horns and had a little hot tub party and they did some dancing too. Wasn't quite as cringe as the

00:21:38.740 dancing I've shown you the last 20 minutes. And they had their bank account seized and, um, they

00:21:45.420 were stomped on by ride horses. And our own reporter, Alexa Lavoie was shot by an RCMP officer. The only

00:21:52.720 person in the entire trucker convoy time period, January and February, there was many days, tens of

00:22:01.920 thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of people. The only person who was shot just happened by

00:22:09.240 coincidence to be a rebel news reporter. Do you think that was coincidence? Do you really think it

00:22:14.160 was coincidence? I should tell you we're suing the RCMP. We've, uh, found the name of the disgraceful

00:22:23.480 thug who shot her. The RCMP has disclosed the name and nature of the weapon. And in fact has provided

00:22:32.120 us with the training manual to look at the weapon, to learn about it. And I can tell you right now that

00:22:40.320 the weapon was improperly used and it was used contrary to its purpose. You don't take a riot gun

00:22:50.160 like that and shoot it at someone like that. That is an insane thing to do, especially when it's not a

00:22:56.520 protester, when it is a journalist simply holding her phone like that, that is explicitly against the

00:23:05.500 training manual. And this thug just did it. I should tell you the RCMP, uh, investigation, they're

00:23:11.980 investigating their own cop. Uh, it's clearly a whitewash. I can tell you right now they're going to

00:23:16.460 whitewash it. They waited more than a year before you even interviewed them than the cop involved.

00:23:20.800 You don't do that if you, if you care about, uh, fixing a problem. It's a disgrace. Brenda

00:23:26.220 Lucky, what she has done to the RCMP is an absolute disgrace. But my point today is

00:23:30.560 here you have PSAC deliberately and threatening to shut down a port, attacking a vehicle, holding

00:23:40.460 people falsely imprisoned for five or 10 minutes, and not even a word, let alone a cop. Uh, the whole

00:23:49.420 point about the legal system is everyone has to know that the rules apply the same to everyone.

00:23:56.040 And the reason for that is so you believe in the system, even when it deals you a hand you don't

00:24:00.540 like, we have to all believe it's fair enough so that when we lose, we still respect the rules of

00:24:07.100 the game. But if the rules are only applied against one team and not the other, then the administration

00:24:13.060 of justice is brought into disrepute. And I'm afraid that is happening here, at least from what I'm

00:24:18.500 seeing. Um, I want to take a break since we're on the subject of the trucker convoy. Did you know

00:24:25.560 the rebel news has proudly published Tamara Leach's book? The book is called hold the line. You can get

00:24:33.720 it at the website, the convoy book. I have bought my copy. It arrived two days ago. It is great. It's a

00:24:42.800 hardcover. We, it's our first hardcover book we've published. Normally we publish paperbacks.

00:24:49.280 Here, we've got a little ad. Take a look at this little video by Tamara herself. 1.00

00:24:55.360 The Tamara Leach has been released from jail. Western separatist Tamara Leach.

00:25:01.360 Leach will remain in custody. We have breaking news out of Ottawa to tell you about it. Judge has made a

00:25:06.460 decision on whether to grant bail for Tamara Leach, one of the leaders of that recent demonstration in

00:25:11.880 Ottawa. You may have seen me on the news, but there's more to my story.

00:25:26.600 In my new book, hold the line. I share the story of the freedom convoy from the heart of the freedom

00:25:32.200 convoy. It's a story of hope, courage, and coming together as a community in the Canadian way. You

00:25:38.860 can buy my new book at theconvoybook.com, and in that book, you're going to hear stories from the

00:25:43.560 heart of the convoy, as well as my arrest and my time in jail, like you've never heard them before.

00:25:49.500 Until very recently, I've been quite silent because of my bail conditions, but now I'm ready to tell my

00:25:55.240 story, my side of the story. I know the mainstream media isn't going to be fair to me, as they've

00:26:00.420 already called me and my friends from the convoy terrorists.

00:26:03.940 There is increasing concern about violent online rhetoric supporting the convoy, and that those

00:26:09.260 with extreme views are planning on attending. The mayor who made, in my estimation, just a horrendous

00:26:15.920 decision to negotiate with terrorists. So I'm launching a book tour across Canada. We'll be doing

00:26:21.280 interviews, signing books, and saying thank you to all Canadians for your support. I've partnered with

00:26:27.660 Rebel News to crowdfund for the cost of my book, as well as our advertising campaign. With your help,

00:26:35.300 we'll be purchasing ads and billboards to spread the word about my book. We'll also be upgrading my

00:26:40.800 home studio, which will enable me to do interviews all around the world. If you're a shop owner or a

00:26:46.080 business owner, and you'd like to have a book signing, please fill out the form on our website,

00:26:50.580 which you can find here. And if you'd like to make a donation for the tour, we'll greatly appreciate

00:26:55.100 it. The first 500 people to send in a donation of $200 or more will receive a free signed copy of my

00:27:02.080 book, Hold the Line, My Story from the Heart of the Freedom Convoy. The last time I drove across Canada,

00:27:08.660 something very special happened. Let's make that happen again. Go to theconvoybook.com. Thank you.

00:27:15.140 You know, I'm very excited about that. While we were showing you that little commercial,

00:27:22.440 I went to amazon.ca. Can you please do that, Olivia? And I just typed in Tamera Leach. That's just all

00:27:31.900 I typed in. Yeah, and put it on the screen. Show people as you do it.

00:27:36.740 And then click on the book. And you see right under those five stars there, it's got a 4.9 star

00:27:49.940 review out of five, 180 ratings. Yeah, you see it says Amazon charts in blue, that little blue tag

00:27:56.820 there. And it says number one this week. Yeah, click on that. Click on that. So this is the big

00:28:03.360 chart. This isn't the moment by moment rankings. This is the big deal. End of the week. What's

00:28:09.740 cooking? Would you look at that? Hold the Line by Tamera Leach is the number one bestselling book

00:28:16.060 for the entire week. For the entire week. Isn't that exciting? And scroll down a bit because I want

00:28:23.180 to show you that there's very wide competition. Like her book obviously is a history book. It's a

00:28:28.320 political book. You've got a weight loss book. You've got a self-help book by a doctor. Scroll

00:28:34.000 down a little bit. Okay, Atomic Habits. That's sort of like a pop advice book. It's a good book,

00:28:38.180 I'm sure. Matthew McConaughey's. So this isn't just Canadian. This is all books of all genres. There's

00:28:47.280 that odious prince, what's his name, on the World Privacy Tour. Did you see that South Park

00:28:56.640 episode? Oh my God, the World Privacy. You're down with the monarchy. We want our privacy. I can never

00:29:04.060 think of Meghan and Harry now without thinking down with the monarchy. We deserve our privacy. It's the

00:29:11.600 World Privacy Tour. Oh my gosh. I think that left a mark. I mean, I don't know if South Park is popular

00:29:18.960 in the UK, but boy did it do a number. You just play a little bit of it. Just give people a taste

00:29:26.340 because they'll probably say, what are you talking about, Ezra? But yeah, I think the one you had

00:29:34.900 right there. Yeah, the one with the prince there. Yeah, right there. Yeah, just give it a click.

00:29:46.100 What the hell? What did he just say? He victimized me. It's because I'm an ethnic woman. He can't do that.

00:29:51.880 I'll say, wait, you're ethnic? This is an outrage. We'll just see how he deals with my blue penis. 1.00

00:30:00.120 That blue penis thing really is from his autobiography. He talks about his blue penis. 1.00

00:30:05.900 Because don't you want to know? 1.00

00:30:14.760 Okay. You know what? That was a great little sample. It goes on for quite a bit. And it's

00:30:25.380 just, they call it the World Privacy Tour.

00:30:27.520 Anyhow, sorry, you know me. I love going down the tangents on the live streams. Will you forgive

00:30:36.360 me for that? But I'm very, aren't you glad that Tamara Leach's book has massively outsold

00:30:42.880 Prince Harry's book? Yeah. Yeah. So that, is that, is that it there? Yeah. Yeah. That's it. Play a

00:30:48.280 little bit of that. Just give people another minute. It's too funny. You got to see this. I'm talking

00:30:52.600 serious stuff with Tamara Leach's book. But if you haven't seen this, let me steal two

00:30:57.760 minutes of your time. You got to see this World Privacy Tour business. Take a look.

00:31:01.600 Toronto. It's good morning, Canada.

00:31:03.440 It has been several months now since our beloved Queen has died. All Canadians are finding

00:31:10.440 it hard to go on. All Canadians, that is, except for our first guest, the Prince and his wife.

00:31:16.440 We want privacy! We want privacy!

00:31:20.440 Anne, thanks for having us on the show. It's so awesome to be here. It's great.

00:31:26.440 So, let me start with you, sir. You've lived a life with the royal family, you've had everything

00:31:29.980 handed to you, but you say your life has been hard, and now you've written all about it

00:31:32.920 in your new book, Wee.

00:31:35.440 Yes, that's right, friend. You say my wife and I are totally like you should write a book

00:31:39.180 because your family's like stupid and then so are like journalists. 1.00

00:31:42.760 So you hate journalists. 1.00

00:31:44.380 That's right.

00:31:45.220 And now you wrote a book that reports on the lives of the royal family.

00:31:47.840 Right.

00:31:48.940 So you're a journalist.

00:31:50.680 We just want to be normal people. All this attention is so hard.

00:31:53.560 Isn't it true, sir, that your questionable wife has her own TV show and hangs out with 1.00

00:31:57.780 celebrities and does fashion magazines?

00:31:59.600 What are you suggesting? 1.00

00:32:01.080 Well, I just think some people might say that your Instagram-loving bitch wife actually doesn't 1.00

00:32:05.260 want her privacy. 1.00

00:32:06.220 How dare you, sir! My Instagram-loving bitch wife has always wanted her privacy! 1.00

00:32:11.040 And you know what else? To hell with Canada! We are leaving! 1.00

00:32:14.860 We'll go find some quiet place where we can be normal people! Come on, wife! 1.00

00:32:19.340 We want privacy! We want privacy! We want privacy!

00:32:23.560 The world privacy tour. You know what? It goes on in that vein and it's too good. It is

00:32:31.540 too good. And I really think they did a number on them. I don't know if any Brits watched that

00:32:38.880 show, but yeah, they nailed it. My book called When? I have to admit, the title Spare is a great

00:32:49.680 title for Prince Harry. It's self-deprecating. I think he is actually a little bit self-deprecating,

00:32:57.660 which is perfect because his wife is sadistic and he's masochistic. And so it's just a perfect fit. 0.96

00:33:06.360 Yeah, so I go back to that Tamera Leach Amazon page again. I'm just so proud of that. You know,

00:33:12.880 we publish a fair number of books here, Rebel News. I don't know, maybe we're up to 10 now.

00:33:18.260 And I think this has been or will be our most successful book because it's our most interesting

00:33:27.520 author with the most compelling story. And she has been limited. Like I just find that,

00:33:36.240 scroll a little bit. So the reason I'm showing you this, normally bestseller lists, I don't know if you

00:33:40.280 know this, normally bestseller lists are categorized, right? It makes sense. You've got fiction versus

00:33:46.180 nonfiction and that makes sense. You're never going to have a political story or a history book

00:33:52.460 compete with, you know, Harry Potter, right? And a self-help book or a cookbook, does it really make

00:33:59.040 sense to compare a cookbook with a history book? So what's interesting about this list is it's the

00:34:05.260 everything list. You know, I will teach you to be rich, obviously a self-help, 12 rules for life.

00:34:12.100 There's our friend Jordan Peterson, still in the top 15, which is just incredible. The number of

00:34:18.200 weeks that's been, how many weeks does it say that's been on the list there? I can't quite make

00:34:22.780 that out. 224 weeks on the list. Just amazing. Perhaps the most successful Canadian book in a

00:34:31.720 decade. In fact, I can't even think of one. So the reason, thank you for scrolling through these,

00:34:37.120 the reason I'm showing you that is that there's American books, there's British books, there's

00:34:42.460 fiction, there's nonfiction, there's self-help. And to be the top of all of those is quite something.

00:34:50.920 If you go to the very top, I don't know, I don't have it in front of me, but there's sometimes links

00:34:55.480 to like the Globe and Mail bestseller list. Is that up there? Don't worry if it's not. But if you,

00:35:03.800 if you'll see, for example, um, Amazon charge category, yeah. Category bestsellers. Yeah.

00:35:11.960 Scroll down a little bit more. Okay. It's not right there and I won't waste your time on it, but

00:35:16.700 for example, the Globe and Mail will have Canadian fiction, Canadian nonfiction,

00:35:22.800 uh, foreign fiction, foreign nonfiction. So they typically have at least four categories

00:35:30.720 categories because they all be candid because they want to give the Canadian stuff a chance.

00:35:35.620 Like how many Canadian books are going to be a biography by, uh, you know, Michelle Obama

00:35:41.180 or going to be a Harry Potter book or, or there's a while there when all those vampire books were the

00:35:45.740 hottest thing. So thank you for letting me show you that. But I tell you, if you want your book,

00:35:49.720 you can go to theconvoybook.com. And as you heard in Tamara's video, she is going to promote that book,

00:35:57.620 uh, not just in the media tour, but in a physical tour. I'm very excited about that.

00:36:03.060 Um, all right. So we talked about the strike and I think we did some good coverage there.

00:36:14.980 You know what? We've got a couple of super chats and let me read them now. The first

00:36:18.420 is from our friend, Fraser McBurney, who says today I unsubscribed from Fox news. I suggest you do the

00:36:25.060 same. Obviously a reference to the departure, the sudden, and I would say shocking departure

00:36:31.700 of Tucker Carlson. Um, and there's a bit of a personal, uh, connection there too. I think you may

00:36:38.440 know, or maybe you don't, that, um, but a month ago, myself, David Menzies, Alexa Lavoie,

00:36:45.700 and maybe others of our team, I can't remember offhand, did extended interviews with Tucker's team.

00:36:53.380 And he was going to release a documentary about Canada featuring a number of our people.

00:37:01.940 And that was going to come out next week. I think May 1st, I think it was going to come out.

00:37:08.340 And I feel so bad that it will likely never see the light of day. In fact, in his little, um,

00:37:15.540 preview tease, you can see Alexa and David. Yeah. Can you show? Yeah. And there's our footage.

00:37:20.740 That was our footage of, uh, yeah, there's, I hate that footage, but there's Alexa being attacked,

00:37:27.220 but there's her talking about being attacked by Trudeau's cops. There's David talking about being

00:37:32.580 attacked. This is Maxime Bernier being arrested, uh, by his political rival. This is the riot horses

00:37:39.700 stomping on people. Just incredible. And, um, I have not seen that documentary and I fear that no one

00:37:49.380 will ever see it because I'm guessing the rights were owned by Fox. Um, I think the documentary is

00:37:57.060 probably finished. I mean, it was a week before it was going to air. It was probably done or at least

00:38:03.300 in its, uh, you know, second last version. Um, it would be a shame if we never saw that. I'd,

00:38:10.340 I'd really like to see it. And I wonder if that'll ever happen. Uh, we have one more super chat from

00:38:16.100 yesterday. Or is it from today? From today, JCMN 84. JCMN 84 gave a hundred smackers. Well,

00:38:30.740 thank you very much for that, by the way. I appreciate that. Unvaxxed healthcare workers

00:38:34.980 remain terminated in BC while staffing shortages put people at risk. Unvaxxed visitors now allowed in

00:38:42.820 hospitals. Such illogical policies. C-S-S-E-M dot org freedom to choose dot C-A. Uh, why don't we 0.99

00:38:52.580 click on freedom to choose dot C-A? I'm wondering what that is about. Uh, speaking of which, by the

00:38:56.660 way, our Sheila Gunn-Reed today is live tweeting the, uh, citizen's inquiry into things. And I, I've

00:39:03.940 seen some of her tweets and I've retweeted some of them. It's very heartbreaking what's going on. Oh,

00:39:08.100 it makes no sense to policy. I see this morning that China itself is lifting some COVID rules for

00:39:16.420 travel there. Not that I'm looking to travel to China. Uh, but the United States is not. In fact,

00:39:22.180 I thought they were done. Efron, I don't know if you heard this. I thought they were done enforcing

00:39:26.740 it on the ground, but I saw, uh, three days ago, someone made a little video that they were turned

00:39:34.420 back at a land entry for not being vaxxed. I guess it comes down to the border agent or who knows if

00:39:43.060 someone made a fuss and got on some watch list or something. Um, I traveled down, I think, you know,

00:39:50.500 I went down about two weeks ago and I had to spend about an hour, uh, haggling with different people

00:39:58.980 about my, about my non-vax status before they let me in. I was very scared they were not going to let me

00:40:04.100 in and I was going to drive to Buffalo, but as I learned that may not be allowed. Uh, it's 1 40.

00:40:14.100 I want to, um, talk a little bit more about Tucker when he was sacked. I didn't know what it,

00:40:23.540 I don't know if anyone knows what it really was. Did you see Bill O'Reilly's comments on it?

00:40:29.460 Uh, I wonder if you can find those quickly. Bill O'Reilly, who used to be with Fox and was sacked,

00:40:35.780 if I recall, over a Me Too moment. Uh, and he was a huge star there, really big.

00:40:41.940 Um, so he's got his own show now and he, or maybe he was talking about, maybe he was on another show.

00:40:50.980 Yeah. Maybe he was here. Let's just watch this. Here's Bill O'Reilly. Uh, and the funny thing is,

00:40:56.820 I think that is, uh, Chris Cuomo, the former CNN host. There's a lot of former hosts, uh,

00:41:03.460 around some of them for Me Too reasons. Let's hear what Chris has to say.

00:41:08.180 Joining me now, Bill O'Reilly, the biggest star in the history of Fox News, had the number one show

00:41:14.340 there. Carlson, uh, was riding that wake until today. What do you make of the announcement,

00:41:20.500 Brother Bill? Well, uh, you didn't refer to me as a dog, did you? Um, with the Hunter Thompson quote,

00:41:27.860 I actually did some, uh, reporting today. It was refreshing because usually I'm analyzing,

00:41:33.060 but I had a report, find out what happened to, uh, tell the News Nation audience not to believe

00:41:38.980 90% of what they're hearing, as you pointed out. So today, um, as every day in the TV news business,

00:41:46.500 the producers of the Tucker Carlson program and all other news shows were having their morning meeting,

00:41:52.500 laying out what was going to be on this evening. All right. In the middle of that

00:41:57.700 meeting, they got word that their host was not coming to work ever again. All right. So all of this

00:42:08.340 BS about, well, the decision was made last week, or it was made during the Dominion. That's all not

00:42:15.460 true. The decision was made Sunday evening. Okay. And there were two reasons why, but I'll get to that

00:42:23.300 in a moment. So Fox news did not want to remove Tucker Carlson because as you pointed out, he was the

00:42:32.580 second highest rated program on the network next to the five. And he was the most well-known individual

00:42:40.900 host. So they didn't want to move him out, but there are lawsuits coming on the wake of Dominion.

00:42:49.940 They lost 800 million plus on Dominion. And now you have Smartmatic coming up and you have two

00:42:57.300 individual lawsuits, actually one file and one that may be filed. And that was the key.

00:43:05.140 So one of, uh, Tucker Carlson's producers apparently taped a whole bunch of stuff. Her lawyer went into the

00:43:12.260 Fox attorneys and said, unless you pay so-and-so some money, um, we're going to sue you. And Fox said,

00:43:21.540 we're not paying. So they filed suit in New York city and they had the tapes and those tapes may be

00:43:27.300 released to the public. All right. And they're not good tapes for the Carlson program. The second thing

00:43:34.020 was last night on 60 minutes, Ray Epps, you may remember that name said to the audience,

00:43:41.300 Tucker Carlson ruined my life and my family's life by accusing me of having some kind of provocative

00:43:48.740 role in the January 6th riots at the Capitol. That was setting Epps up for a massive lawsuit against

00:43:59.220 Fox news and, uh, Tucker Carlson. So that's three lawsuits we know about. And there'll be more by

00:44:06.900 shareholders who are angry about the $800 million settlement. And they're going to go after the

00:44:12.660 Murdochs and the board of directors faced with that. The board of directors said, we got to start cleaning

00:44:22.100 this up. So Dan Bongino was the first domino to fall, even though he wasn't involved with the

00:44:29.940 Dominion thing, they couldn't get to a contract settlement with him. He's gone. And then Carlson,

00:44:36.420 because of the impending litigation was harpooned this morning. Carson didn't know. I mean, it wasn't

00:44:45.620 like it was a discussion. Same thing with Lemon at CNN. He didn't know that just happened. And that's,

00:44:51.140 uh, the nature of television news, the most wicked industry in the United States of America.

00:44:59.860 I don't believe it. I don't believe it. Thanks for showing that. And listen,

00:45:04.180 Bill O'Reilly obviously has connections and sources at Fox, but I don't believe, uh, those explanations.

00:45:11.300 For one thing, uh, that Ray Epps obviously was a provocateur. He's on tape saying,

00:45:17.060 we storm, we go in that he completely was the question is what is he, or is he not an FBI agent?

00:45:25.300 The FBI won't really answer. They're very mystical about the whole thing. They won't

00:45:29.220 explain why they didn't arrest him. I think that everything Fox and every other commentator said

00:45:34.340 was fair comment and probably true. And, um,

00:45:38.500 the point about other looming lawsuits, first of all, I don't think Tucker was the main promoter of

00:45:46.500 some of these theories about dominion voting, but even if he was firing someone today, isn't going to

00:45:55.220 get the company off the hook for a legal problem that happened two years ago. In fact, if anything,

00:46:02.260 it'll make it harder to defend because is Tucker going to be as cooperative with Fox news as he

00:46:08.020 would have been if he were still there. I don't buy the explanation by Bill O'Reilly. I mean, if someone

00:46:14.820 does something wrong legally and I don't think Tucker has, I don't know about this recording,

00:46:20.020 this tape that they're referring to, um, that doesn't stop being a problem. If you fire someone,

00:46:27.300 what they did is what they did. I mean, how you, uh, I don't know. I just, I just,

00:46:34.980 I don't believe it. I think that's an attempt to make it look like Tucker was screwing up. I think

00:46:40.740 that's someone leaking rumors against Tucker, leaking it to Bill O'Reilly. I mean,

00:46:50.500 I don't know if Bill O'Reilly and Tucker were friends. They were certainly competitors. So I,

00:46:54.340 I do not believe that. Now the Vanity Fair has a story today saying it was a Christian commentary

00:47:04.660 that Tucker Carlson gave at a prayer talk. Let me read a little bit of it. Tucker Carlson's prayer

00:47:10.820 talk may have led to Fox news ouster. That stuff freaks Rupert out, Rupert Murdoch. Fox Corp chair Rupert

00:47:17.540 Murdoch is said to have balked at Carlson's remarks in a Friday night speech, driving another theory

00:47:24.100 about the primetime star's abrupt exit. He doesn't like all the spiritual talk said a source. Now,

00:47:31.140 does Vanity Fair have a good source in Fox news? I don't know. Could be. Um, they say that the Murdoch

00:47:38.660 family was the template for the dysfunctional billionaire media family in the, um, HBO show

00:47:46.100 called succession. Uh, Olivia Efron, do you guys watch succession at all? I've started watching it and

00:47:54.980 my reaction to the first episode was every single person in it was awful. The dad was awful. The mom 0.74

00:48:04.020 was awful. The brothers were awful. The sister was awful. The other brother, the cousin, they were all 0.99

00:48:09.300 the worst people in the world fighting over who gets to inherit the company when dad kicks the bucket.

00:48:18.260 And in this case, and there he is, dad, in this case, uh, played a Scottish media mogul, Rupert Murdoch,

00:48:25.700 of course, the Australian media mogul. And they, they changed a few things, but they didn't change that

00:48:31.300 much. All the different wives that the dad had all the political scandals they had instead of Fox news, 0.99

00:48:38.660 they had ATN and, uh, just absolutely atrocious people. And I, I mean, normally you watch a show,

00:48:47.380 you like to root for somebody, but don't you think like you, you want to see a hero and a villain?

00:48:53.220 I know we're not hardwired that way. We want someone to cheer for in a team. You typically don't

00:48:58.340 watch a ball game if you hate both teams, right? I mean, I guess you could if you like the sport so

00:49:04.820 much, but, um, I've, I've watched the whole, uh, uh, series and, um, you just learn to hate them all.

00:49:15.060 And you just love to see them wound each other. They're so, and I, this is just a credit to the

00:49:19.460 writing. Like there's some amazing episodes, like when the, uh, Kendall Roy, uh, is alone and hurt and

00:49:28.340 upset, but he's a billionaire. So he throws himself the most over the top spendy birthday

00:49:35.700 party that anyone has ever seen. And it was so self-indulgent and so wasteful. And it's, if you

00:49:43.940 gave a child a hundred million dollars for a birthday, what would that birthday party look like?

00:49:49.540 And I, it was just so incredibly done. Uh, it's, it's a hell of a show if I may say so.

00:49:55.620 And I, it's, it's actually the only show I watch. I wait every week for a new edition to come out

00:50:01.060 and they're almost done. New episode to come out. Um, you love to hate them. And I, I think

00:50:09.300 that, well, I, I know it was modeled after the paradox and Fox news. Um, let me read a little bit

00:50:16.580 more from this vanity fair story. 24 hours after Fox news ousted its highest rated host, the network

00:50:24.100 has yet to explain one of the most shocking defenestrations in cable news history. I'm not

00:50:29.140 going beyond the release of Fox news spokeswoman texted yesterday when I asked her for comment

00:50:35.700 and this information void multiple theories about why Fox fired Carlson circulated in the media.

00:50:41.540 It was followed from the $787 million Dominion settlement punishment for vulgar text messages

00:50:48.900 published in Dominion court filings or a consequence of former Fox producer, Abby Grossberg's lawsuit,

00:50:54.260 which alleged Carlson oversaw a hostile work environment. Fox news has vowed to vigorously

00:50:59.620 defend the company against for Grossberg's unmeritorious legal claims. By the way, I learned

00:51:04.500 yesterday that Abby Grossberg never actually met Tucker Carlson and didn't work in the office. So I'm not

00:51:10.100 quite sure, uh, how he fostered that environment, but we'll see in the court. And that comes back to

00:51:15.540 my point. Let's say all those things about Tucker were correct. All the allegations were true. Firing

00:51:22.180 him. I mean, I, I guess it's a way of saying we don't want this problem anymore, but it's not, uh,

00:51:27.780 a time machine that can undo, uh, problems that have already occurred. Anyways, let me say this about

00:51:34.180 Tucker. I was, I was talking to a Quebec, uh, radio show about it this morning. I learned, uh,

00:51:40.500 I think it was the wall street journal that published that, uh, you know how much Tucker was

00:51:44.340 making a year? Olivia, I heard it was 20 million, which is a lot of dough. Uh, I mean, that's a lot

00:51:54.660 of money. And I, um, and I understand he was renegotiating and he, it was probably being negotiated up,

00:52:00.020 right? Um, and then there's perks. I mean, they would be paying, they would be paying his security.

00:52:06.340 They would be paying other things. 20 million bucks. Do you think that he could get a million

00:52:16.740 subscribers if he set up a channel of his own somewhere, whether it was on rumble or with Glenn

00:52:27.380 Beck's organization or with daily wire, he would never go on YouTube because YouTube is,

00:52:34.900 is beholden to a big pharma and Tucker's at odds with them. But, um, do you doubt that Tucker could get

00:52:44.900 one million people to sign up for 10 bucks a month? And if you do the math on that,

00:52:53.700 that's a hundred million, $120 million a year, even if you only got half a million people to sign up.

00:53:00.340 And I think he could. Now he would need someone who was taking care of the business infrastructure,

00:53:07.220 but there's a lot of people who could do that. Like I say, you could join an existing operation,

00:53:11.700 daily wire, Glenn Beck, the teeth that come to mind. You could go straight to rumble. They would

00:53:15.620 do a deal for you. Like Steven Crowder has done with them. I think that Tucker from a money point

00:53:23.860 of view could wake, make well more than 20 million. Um, and I think that if he were to join and create

00:53:34.980 his own organization, it would be very large and he would have complete freedom. The only thing he

00:53:41.940 would lose would be access to the cable subscribers who get Fox. But how many people are watching Fox

00:53:50.500 on their cable TV, as opposed to clips on the internet? Remember Fox was moving towards a

00:53:56.020 subscription service called Fox nation. That's where they, their Canada documentary was going to run.

00:54:00.420 I think that Tucker's actually going to be bigger than he was because I think that

00:54:14.340 Fox is beholden to the cable news model. They were trying to get offered by digital subscription.

00:54:19.460 I think if Tucker went digital only and really pushed to sell, pushed his customers to subscribe,

00:54:29.140 I think, I mean, I don't even, I don't even think he's really motivated by money. I suppose

00:54:34.100 everyone's motivated by money. If you have children, you want to leave them as much money as you can,

00:54:38.900 I suppose. So I'm not saying he's not motivated by money. Um, but I don't think that's his primary

00:54:44.420 mission in life. And even if it was, I think he's, he's achieved it. I mean, the guy who's making 20

00:54:49.060 million bucks a year, that, that adds up pretty quickly. There's only so much you can spend.

00:54:53.780 I saw it at the corner of my eye. Uh, the daily mail had a video of him just puttering around.

00:54:59.460 I think he lives, I think he's got two homes, one, uh, I think in Maine and one in Florida.

00:55:04.740 Uh, someone posted, uh, Tyler Carden, in fact, of, of GB news posted a clip from the daily mail.

00:55:12.740 Yeah. Why don't you put that up there? Um,

00:55:14.820 Um, I guess that's him on his little golf cart tootling by

00:55:24.180 in, uh, in Florida. So it looks like he's doing okay, taking some downtime, staying

00:55:30.580 normal and healthy. And why not? Uh, I hear that he's going to have his contract paid out.

00:55:35.620 So, I mean, of course, I mean, you're not going to fire Tucker Carlson for cause. You're just going to

00:55:43.860 fire him. So he, he can make a move whenever he wants. He's probably waiting, thinking. I see some

00:55:54.660 people saying he should run for president. I don't think that's a good idea. I think that

00:56:00.740 his talents are as a broadcaster, analyst, reporter, commentator,

00:56:06.820 running for public office is a completely different skill set and temperament and lifestyle.

00:56:14.100 You're on the road every day. Um, you have to like, it's, it's a very much a grassroots

00:56:23.140 one-on-one project. I mean, how many hands do you have to shake? How many people do you have to talk to?

00:56:27.540 How many small towns do you have to crisscross? It's a different

00:56:32.420 activity, different lifestyle, different, uh, routine. And, um, it's not for everyone. I think

00:56:38.340 Tucker is made for TV and he would, it would be madness for him to leave. And by the way,

00:56:42.500 you run for president, you're not making 20 million bucks a year. I'll tell you that.

00:56:48.260 It'll be very exciting to see where he ends up next. I think the Daily Wire, which apparently made

00:56:53.700 a $50 million offer to Steven Crowder, it would not surprise me if they made a $150 million offer

00:57:02.900 to Tucker Carlson. Um, because Tucker Carlson could earn that. Absolutely. And I think Glenn Beck

00:57:10.500 could make a similar offer. And what they could say to him is, look, we already have the infrastructure.

00:57:15.140 We already have the staff. We already have the streaming, this and that. We already, you don't

00:57:20.260 have to hire a team. You could bring your core editorial team, but we're going to give you all

00:57:25.220 the other stuff. And you know, both, both of those companies, Daily Wire and Glenn Beck, you know,

00:57:33.140 they believe in free speech. They live it. It'd be very interesting. Um,

00:57:41.620 are there any more super chats? I thought I would check.

00:57:45.860 Nope. All right. Well, listen, it's almost two o'clock Eastern 12 noon mountain time. I hope you're

00:57:50.980 following Sheila Gunn-Reed on her live tweets today. Let's end. Is that an ad? Is that a Sheila ad?

00:57:56.660 Yeah, let's just take a look at this, uh, preview for one of. Okay. We'll go out on this. I'll say

00:58:05.620 goodbye to you now. Thanks very much for joining today. Thanks for the super chats. I appreciate it.

00:58:10.260 And, um, tune in tonight for my interview with the premier Peckford. I think you'll like it.

00:58:14.740 He's such a colorful character as many Newfoundlanders are. Uh, he's got a gift of the gab and a great sense

00:58:19.940 of humor and he's smart as a tech. And you know what? You would think he's a lawyer. His command of the

00:58:24.660 law is so sharp. He's, I don't even think he's a lawyer. I think he's just a layman

00:58:28.340 who loves the law and helped draft it until tonight on behalf of all of us here at rebel

00:58:34.580 world headquarters to you at home. Goodbye and keep fighting for freedom. Now the public order

00:58:41.060 emergency commission, however, ultimately found that the government's use of the law was justified,

00:58:46.340 but the more we actually see the evidence, the less that finding seems to be compatible with known

00:58:51.380 reality. Like these text messages I'm about to show you here between Tyler Meredith,

00:58:56.900 a policy advisor in the prime minister's office, Alex Lawrence, the director of communications

00:59:01.220 for the deputy prime minister, Chrystia Freeland and the minister of finance and Faris Nathu,

00:59:06.580 an issues manager in the prime minister's office. It's a panicked text exchange about something

00:59:13.140 bizarre. The prime minister said, look at this, send you an email. We need to counter propose

00:59:17.700 something quickly because there be a pretty out there comment from the prime minister.

00:59:22.100 I suppose this could probably be an evergreen text exchange because Chirdo says some pretty

00:59:27.380 out there stuff every single day, doesn't he? Let's keep going. Need feedback ASAP to which

00:59:33.220 someone replies, I would cut that first line. We don't know that as in the first line was completely

00:59:37.940 made up, but there's more. This text message exchange involves those first three political staffers,

00:59:45.060 but they brought in someone else, Shannon Zimmerman, the director of operations for the

00:59:48.660 prime minister's office. These four now are busy fact checking the prime minister on his wild claims

00:59:54.180 that we now know were disinformation.
