Rebel News Podcast - Donald Trump returns with a powerful speech to an adoring crowd

00:00:00.000 Hello, my friends. Today, I'm going to have some fun. I'm going to play for you some,

00:00:03.960 I don't know if it's good news, but it's a refreshing change of pace. I'm going to go

00:00:07.060 through Donald Trump's 90-minute speech at CPAC yesterday in Florida. Now, don't worry,

00:00:13.180 I won't play all 90 minutes, but I'll play, I'm guessing, about 25 or 30 minutes,

00:00:17.820 interspersed with my thoughts, so about 10 clips from it. I thought it was a good speech. Boy,

00:00:22.080 was it refreshing to hear him after listening to Joe Biden mumble for the last month. Anyways,

00:00:27.340 I hope you enjoy it. I'll show you a few clips from how the CBC covered it and a few other things

00:00:34.280 like that. Even Bill Maher had an interesting clip that I play today. Let me invite you to become a

00:01:14.020 Tonight, Donald Trump returns with a powerful speech to an adoring crowd. I'll show you clips

00:01:35.420 from it, because the CBC won't. It's March 1st, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.

00:01:42.480 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:46.200 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:50.280 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's my

00:01:54.880 bloody right to do so. Donald Trump has been pretty low-key since the inauguration of Joe Biden.

00:02:05.600 I don't know who missed him more, his fans or his haters. The question I keep asking myself is,

00:02:11.480 while Biden is obviously legally the president, who's actually making the decisions? Because

00:02:16.360 it's not this guy. I think he's getting on a plane. He told me last, he came in to see me last event.

00:02:23.920 And representatives, Shirley Jackson Lee, Al Green, Sylvia Garcia, Lizzie Pinelli,

00:02:32.880 excuse me, Pinell, and what am I doing here? I'm going to lose track here. And

00:02:40.520 Mayor Turner, Judge Hidalgo, thank you all for welcoming us.

00:02:46.700 And it's sure not this guy who needs his wife to accompany him into policy interviews

00:02:53.140 for when he forgets the answer.

00:02:55.940 Mr. President, in five weeks you've been in office, you have been taking many actions to revert

00:03:01.160 Trump administration's anti-immigration policy. But today, the Washington Post reports that

00:03:08.460 your administration has plans to open tents at Del Rio, a town close to the border. Can you confirm

00:03:16.720 that?

00:03:17.020 Right now, there's thousands of unaccompanied children coming across the border.

00:03:20.820 In Texas, they opened up one, one that was a former one used in the administration,

00:03:27.840 the last administration. Our hope and expectation is that won't stay open very long, that we'll be

00:03:32.860 able to provide for every kid who comes across the border safely to be housed in a facility that is

00:03:40.760 licensed.

00:03:41.120 And this administration is doing it in a humane way. And that's really important. I mean,

00:03:48.460 we want to make sure that these children are safe, that they get mental health services,

00:03:53.600 they get physical health services, they get education.

00:03:56.120 Wow. Yeah, Trump's a bit different, isn't he? Like Stephen Harper, he was the master of every file

00:04:02.240 and he could speak at great length on subjects and loved doing so. His campaign style speeches were

00:04:07.160 always hugely popular, filling stadiums and perfect for the internet age. Biden campaigned in bizarre

00:04:14.420 COVID circles. I don't think he ever had more than a few dozen people show up. No need. The courts

00:04:19.920 changed the rules for voting just months before election day, allowing voting by mail. That changing of

00:04:25.700 the rules was enough to beat Trump's enthusiasm advantage. Anyways, Trump has pretty much been

00:04:30.140 quiet the past five weeks. But then yesterday, he went to the annual CPAC conservative convention

00:04:35.460 being held in Florida this year, as opposed to Washington DC, where it normally is. All the

00:04:40.700 conservative stars were there, including my favorites. Here's a quick clip of Kirstie Noem.

00:04:45.260 Now, Dr. Fauci, he told me that on my worst day, I'd have 10,000 patients in the hospital.

00:04:51.520 On our worst day, we had a little over 600. I don't know if you agree with me, but Dr. Fauci is

00:04:59.080 wrong a lot.

00:05:07.080 That's great. And here's Ron DeSantis, governor of Florida.

00:05:10.860 Florida is also leading in protecting our people from political censorship and in holding big tech

00:05:16.200 accountable. When our legislature convenes next month, it will pass and I will sign the most

00:05:24.320 ambitious reforms yet proposed for combating political censorship and deplatforming, for

00:05:31.240 preventing big tech from interfering in our elections and for safeguarding the privacy of your personal

00:05:37.220 data.

00:05:37.660 They do a straw poll of CPAC convention goers. Trump is the number one choice to lead the party

00:05:45.200 into 2024. But DeSantis and Noem are strong contenders after him. And if Trump declines to

00:05:50.220 run again, well, a DeSantis-Noem ticket would be amazing, in my opinion. Trump is almost 75 years

00:05:56.140 old. He'll be 78 in the next election campaign for president. He's pretty fit and vigorous for a

00:06:01.100 78-year-old. That's for sure. Like me, he could probably lose 50 pounds. But I don't know if he's

00:06:06.380 going to run. He didn't answer that in his speech yesterday, though he did tease a bit.

00:06:10.800 Actually, as you know, they just lost the White House. But it's one of those things.

00:06:15.560 But who knows? Who knows? I may even decide to beat them for a third time. Okay?

00:06:27.960 That got the liberals apoplectic, not only because he was a threat to run again, but because of the

00:06:33.200 implication that he believes he won the last time. Well, don't tell me about being a sore loser. 0.98

00:06:38.720 That's exactly what the Democrats were saying for the past four years about Hillary Clinton. 0.99

00:06:44.880 It's a typical headline from 2017. Clinton still believes she didn't lose the election. It was

00:06:50.020 taken from her. Yeah, but it's fine when Democrats say that. So Trump came to CPAC and he looked great,

00:06:55.380 looked relaxed, and he gave a 90-minute speech. I don't think Biden can do anything for 90 minutes

00:07:01.500 except to have an app. The liberal media didn't know what to do. On the one hand,

00:07:06.040 they believe in deplatforming and silencing Trump. They all cheered when he was kicked off Twitter.

00:07:11.680 On the other hand, no one's watching their boring news channels now that Trump's not president. So

00:07:17.220 of course, they all tuned in. To my surprise, the CBC even covered it. They played less than a minute

00:07:22.640 of clips from his 90-minute speech. Trump was raucously received. Party polls show he's still

00:07:27.420 beloved by, what, 97% of party members. But the big takeaway on the CBC last night was the party is

00:07:33.060 in bitter infighting, and that's why they're not going to win.

00:07:36.700 Well, it's going to make it harder for Republicans to come together and unite. Trump wants to establish

00:07:41.860 that he is the future of the party, whether he's really up for running again in 2024 or not.

00:07:48.620 And as long as Republicans are fighting amongst themselves, it takes energy and time away from

00:07:53.640 their ability to take on their political opponents. And Ian, internal fights are almost always worse

00:07:59.940 than attacks from the outside. Yeah, I just don't think that's true. But the CBC isn't really allowed

00:08:04.880 to say anything critical of Justin Trudeau. So they have to create the simulation of them being skeptics

00:08:09.920 and critics by, you know, holding the former leader of another country to account. Even that hard

00:08:16.820 left-wing bitter analysis was the most popular thing on the CBC's website yesterday. What you

00:08:23.060 thought it would be some story about how Canadian maple syrup is inherently racist because it's

00:08:29.440 cultural appropriation of aboriginal customs and so it's bigoted. Now, even the CBC's own viewers

00:08:35.740 wanted to hear from Trump, and that made CBC reporters really mad. Here's Alexander Panetta of the CBC

00:08:43.500 who blocked me on Twitter. As soon as I made fun of him, he said, and we're back to this guy getting

00:08:51.840 more clicks than all of the dozen stories placed higher on the website, including life-saving

00:08:57.420 information and accountability stories on Canadian politics. Yeah, life-saving information. That's my

00:09:04.000 favorite part. I think you got to pick a lane, Alex. This guy is a former U.S. president with millions

00:09:10.480 of supporters, so don't be surprised that people want to hear from him. But I think Alex is mad that

00:09:15.100 people, you know, mere citizens click to hear what he has to say rather than the life-saving

00:09:21.500 information and accountability stories that Panetta and the CBC make. Did you know that if you read the

00:09:29.420 right CBC stories, it could save your life? And did you know that the CBC holds power to account?

00:09:37.660 I mean, not Trudeau, of course, but, you know, someone else maybe. What a laugh. Anyways, let me play for you

00:09:44.000 some excerpts from Trump's speech. I'm going to play a fair chunk of it. I haven't added it up, but probably

00:09:50.720 25 minutes, 30 minutes of clips with some very short comments in between for me. You know why? Because, you

00:09:57.700 know, for half an hour, it'll be nice to take a break from the scolds like Alex Panetta of the CBC and

00:10:02.700 their life-saving information about why you have to be locked down in your own house for your own

00:10:07.560 good. Oh, while the CBC president commutes back and forth each week from her home in Brooklyn, New

00:10:13.320 York. So here, let's play some videos. We are gathered this afternoon to talk about the future

00:10:18.320 of our movement, the future of our party, and the future of our beloved country. For the next four

00:10:25.300 years, the brave Republicans in this room will be at the heart of the effort to oppose the radical

00:10:33.640 Democrats, the fake news media, and their toxic cancel culture. Something new to our ears. Cancel culture. 0.92

00:10:41.340 And I want you to know that I am going to continue to fight right by your side. We will do what we've

00:10:50.040 done right from the beginning, which is to win. We're not starting new parties. You know, they kept

00:11:00.260 saying, he's going to start a brand new party. We have the Republican Party. It's going to unite and

00:11:06.820 be stronger than ever before. I am not starting a new party. That was fake news. Fake news. No.

00:11:15.500 Two things. He's not starting a new party. He saw what happened when Ross Perot tried that

00:11:19.980 a generation ago. It split the vote and elected Bill Clinton. But there's something else there,

00:11:24.920 a decision to fight cancel culture. Who could be against that? Here's the huge liberal Democrat,

00:11:29.900 Bill Maher, from his show just a few days ago. And 62% of Americans say they have opinions

00:11:36.300 they're afraid to share. 80% of Americans, young, old, rich, poor, conservative, liberal,

00:11:46.000 white, minority, all hate the current atmosphere of hypersensitivity. Yeah, everybody hates it,

00:11:53.880 and no one stands up to it. Wouldn't it be nice to hear a Democrat politician say that?

00:11:58.780 How about a conservative up here in Canada? All right, back to Trump's speech. The CBC said

00:12:03.720 the Republicans are divided. Maybe they have a secret source on that. Here's the latest polling.

00:12:09.840 We have tremendous. Mr. McLaughlin just gave me numbers that nobody's ever heard of before.

00:12:16.920 More popular than anybody. That's all of us. That's all of us. Those are great numbers,

00:12:21.680 and I want to thank you very much. Those are incredible numbers. I came here and he was giving

00:12:25.140 me 95%, 97%, 92%. I said, they're great. Of course, there are a few Republicans who don't

00:12:33.220 like Trump, and the feeling's mutual. Mitt Romney is an obvious one that comes to mind,

00:12:37.460 but it's pretty clear where the energy of the party is, and the CBC, surprisingly, doesn't quite

00:12:42.320 have its finger on the pulse of that. But back to the speech.

00:12:44.940 And we will fight the onslaught of radicalism, socialism, and indeed, it all leads to communism

00:12:51.880 once and for all. That's what it leads to. You'll be hearing more and more about that

00:12:56.880 as we go along, but that's what it leads to. You know that. We all knew that the Biden

00:13:02.080 administration was going to be bad, but none of us even imagined just how bad they would

00:13:08.620 be and how far left they would go. Communism sounds like a shocking word, but I don't think

00:13:13.440 there's any debate that Democrats are into full socialism. Trump just says they're going

00:13:18.480 to go further. He gives energy as an example.

00:13:21.480 He talked about energy. I thought, I said, you know, this guy, actually, he's okay with

00:13:24.960 energy. He wasn't okay with energy. He wants to put you all out of business. He's not okay

00:13:29.440 with energy. He wants windmills, the windmills, the windmills that don't work when you need

00:13:35.280 them. Joe Biden has had the most disastrous first month of any president in modern history.

00:13:42.180 He comes back to energy later, but first he talked a fair bit about immigration.

00:13:45.760 There's no better example than the new and horrible crisis on our southern border. We

00:13:52.480 did such a good job. It was all worked. Nobody's ever seen anything like we did, and now he wants

00:13:58.140 it all to go to hell. When I left office just six weeks ago, we had created the most secure

00:14:05.140 border in U.S. history. We had built almost 500 miles of great border wall. That helped

00:14:17.360 us with these numbers because once it's up, you know, they used to say a wall doesn't work.

00:14:21.980 Well, you know what I've always said? Walls and wheels. Those are two things that will never

00:14:26.660 change. The wall has been amazing. It's been incredible, and little sections of it to complete.

00:14:32.580 They don't want to complete it. They don't want to complete little sections in certain

00:14:36.580 little areas. The administration only a few weeks to turn this unprecedented accomplishment

00:14:42.520 into a self-inflicted humanitarian and national security disaster. By recklessly eliminating

00:14:50.480 our border, security measures, controls, all of the things that we put into place, Joe Biden

00:14:58.300 has triggered a massive flood of illegal immigration into our country, the likes of which we have 1.00

00:15:03.980 never seen before. Perhaps worst of all, Joe Biden's decision to cancel border security

00:15:10.060 has single-handedly launched a youth migrant crisis that is enriching child smugglers, vicious

00:15:17.980 criminal cartels, and some of the most evil people on the planet. You know, during the Trump years,

00:15:23.820 Democrats had these passionate photo ops at detention centers where illegal migrants were

00:15:28.380 held, including kids. It was kids in cages, the media said, even though those actual facilities were

00:15:34.700 built during the Obama-Biden years. Well, those cages are still there. They haven't quite shut down

00:15:42.860 everything yet, but now the media is in love with those cages. Look how proud Jeff Bezos is at

00:15:50.060 Washington Post is. First migrant facility for children opens under Biden. He's such a giver,

00:15:57.180 isn't he? Okay, more Trump. There's no masks. There's no double masks. That was a new one that

00:16:03.260 came out two weeks ago. First Fauci said, you don't need masks, no masks, no good. Then all of a sudden,

00:16:11.420 he wanted me. Now he wants double masks. There was a strong theme in the convention,

00:16:15.020 how the public health experts really had no clue. Here's some more.

00:16:19.260 The Biden administration is actually bragging about the classroom education they are providing

00:16:25.260 to migrant children on the border, while at the same time, millions of American children

00:16:31.180 are having their futures destroyed by Joe Biden's anti-science school closures. Think of it. We're

00:16:38.060 educating students on the border, but our own people, the children of our citizens, citizens themselves,

00:16:47.820 are not getting the education that they deserve. There's no reason whatsoever why the vast majority

00:16:54.300 of young Americans should not be back in school immediately. 0.99

00:16:59.420 The only reason that most parents do not have that choice is because Joe Biden sold out America's

00:17:10.460 children to the teachers' unions. His position is morally inexcusable. You know that. Joe Biden has

00:17:23.420 shamefully betrayed America's youth, and he is cruelly keeping our children locked in their homes,

00:17:29.180 no reason for it whatsoever. They want to get out. They're cheating the next generation

00:17:35.820 of Americans out of the future that they deserve, and they do deserve this future. They're going to grow

00:17:41.500 up, and they're going to have a scar. It's a scandal of the highest order and one of the most

00:17:47.660 craven acts by any president in our lifetimes. It's the teachers' union. It's the votes,

00:17:55.340 and it shouldn't happen. And nobody has more respect for teachers than I do.

00:17:59.980 And I'll bet you a lot of the people within that union, they agree with everything I'm saying. Even

00:18:05.260 the New York Times is calling out the Democrats. The mental and physical health of these young people

00:18:11.020 is reaching a breaking point. Tragically suicide attempts have skyrocketed, and student depression

00:18:17.980 is now commonplace and at levels that we've never seen before. Why can't we have a political leader

00:18:23.660 who even asks those questions? Okay, back to energy. You must come back into the Paris Accord. I said,

00:18:29.420 tell me why. Give me one good reason. First of all, China doesn't kick in for 10 years. Russia goes by 0.71

00:18:34.620 an old standard, which was not a clean standard, and other countries. But we get hit right from the

00:18:40.220 beginning. Would have cost us hundreds of thousands and millions of jobs. It was a disaster.

00:18:46.620 But they go back into this. He canceled the Keystone XL pipeline, destroying

00:18:54.860 not the 8,000 or the 9,000 or the 11,000 jobs that you hear, but 42,000 great paying jobs

00:19:04.140 on just about day one, right? He never talked about that during a debate,

00:19:08.380 because he wouldn't have gotten away with it. Well, he would have, because they cheated so much,

00:19:11.660 it probably wouldn't have been.

00:19:12.780 No, but that was not a topic of conversation, remember? Fracking. You can frack. Oh,

00:19:20.060 we love fracking. During the primary, no fracking. As soon as he got through that,

00:19:25.820 he said, no, of course, everybody can frack. No fracking. You wait till you see what happens with your

00:19:30.780 gasoline. Wait till you see what happens. And we cannot let this stuff continue to go on. One of my

00:19:37.100 proudest accomplishments as president was to make America energy independent. The United States

00:19:43.180 became the number one energy superpower on Earth. Number one.

00:19:57.740 Became number one. Bigger than Saudi Arabia, bigger than Russia by a lot. 0.79

00:20:03.180 We left them all in the dust. Yeah, here in Canada, Aaron O'Toole brags about his plans to make Canada

00:20:08.860 carbon net zero. That's not possible, of course. It's not possible with one percent a year immigration 1.00

00:20:14.220 growth either. It's not possible in the second largest country where we have to travel, in a

00:20:19.340 cold country where we need heat in the winter. Aaron O'Toole doesn't want to be Trumpy. That's fine.

00:20:25.020 You don't need Trump's personal style. But how about some of his policies? And how about just one

00:20:29.660 percent of his courage? Here's Trump on unreliable green energy.

00:20:34.140 It's such an important, it's such an expensive form of energy. It's so bad for the environment.

00:20:40.860 It kills the birds. It destroys the landscapes. And remember, these are structural columns with fans

00:20:48.940 on them. They wear out. And when they wear out all over the country, you see them. Nobody takes them

00:20:53.900 down. They're rotting. They're rusting. How this is environmentally good for our country. And it costs

00:21:00.540 many, many times more than natural gas, which is clean. It costs many more and can fuel our great

00:21:06.220 factories. Wind can't do that. And solar, I love solar, but it doesn't have the capacity to do what we

00:21:13.020 have to do to make America great again. Sorry, it just doesn't happen. Under the radical Democrat

00:21:20.540 policies, the price of gasoline has already surged 30 percent since the election and will go to five

00:21:27.980 dollars, six dollars, seven dollars and even higher. So enjoy that when you go to the pump and they'll

00:21:33.980 say that'll be about two hundred dollars to fill up your van. Here's Trump on an issue that would

00:21:39.180 immediately, in my estimation, give a five percent boost to any politician of any party who embraced

00:21:45.180 this in Canada. Everyone has a daughter who wants to play sports or, I don't know, I think at least

00:21:51.260 five percent of the country can say, yeah, I got a daughter in sports. Maybe you are a girl or a woman 0.98

00:21:57.900 in sports. And here's what Trump has to say. The Biden policies are a massive win for other oil 0.87

00:22:04.380 producing countries and a massive loss for the United States and our great citizens. Joe Biden

00:22:10.380 and the Democrats are even pushing policies that would destroy women's sports.

00:22:19.500 A lot of new records are being broken in women's sports. Hate to say that, ladies, but 1.00

00:22:25.660 got a lot of new records. They're being shattered. You know, for years, the weightlifting,

00:22:31.420 every ounce is like a big deal for many years. All of a sudden, somebody comes along and beats it by

00:22:37.420 a hundred pounds. Boom, boom. Now, young girls and women are incensed that they are now being forced 0.99

00:22:45.980 to compete against those who are biological males. It's not good for women. It's not good for women's 1.00

00:22:53.500 sports, which worked so long and so hard to get to where they are. The records that stood for years,

00:22:59.180 even decades are now being smashed with ease. Smashed. If this has not changed, women's sports, 1.00

00:23:06.780 as we know it, will die. They'll end. It'll end. We must protect the integrity of women's sports. So 1.00

00:23:13.260 important. After.

00:23:30.380 And I don't even know, is that controversial? You know, somebody said, well, that's going to be very

00:23:36.140 controversial. I said, that's okay. You haven't heard anything yet. I like this next part. If you look at

00:23:42.300 Venezuela, you look at some of these countries, that's why some of our biggest supporters are

00:23:47.340 from South America, Latin America, because they've seen what goes on with all of this cancel culture, 0.98

00:23:54.300 and you can't speak, and let's cut them off, and let's not give them words. The mission of our

00:23:59.820 movement and of the Republican Party must be to create a future of good jobs, strong families,

00:24:05.900 safe communities, a vibrant culture, and a great nation for all Americans. And that's what we're

00:24:12.620 creating.

00:24:20.620 Their party is based upon unvarnished disdain for America, its past, and its people. You see that

00:24:27.180 happening. It's horrible, the way they treat the legacy of our country, the culture of our country.

00:24:33.180 Our party is based on love for America and the belief that this is an exceptional nation

00:24:39.820 blessed by God.

00:24:48.060 We take great pride in our country. We teach the truth about history. We celebrate our rich heritage

00:24:55.980 and national traditions. We honor George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson,

00:25:02.460 and all national heroes. And of course, we respect our great American flag.

00:25:11.580 Yeah, in Toronto, they literally built a wooden coffin around John A. McDonnell, the statue. I'm

00:25:17.660 serious. They literally tore down Sir John A. in Victoria. Where are our politicians? They're too

00:25:24.380 timid. They're too afraid of being called racist by people who are often explicitly racist themselves.

00:25:30.060 Trump talked about election integrity.

00:25:32.060 Another one of the most urgent issues facing the Republican Party is that of ensuring fair,

00:25:39.980 honest, and secure elections.

00:25:52.540 such a disgrace. Such a disgrace. Such a disgrace.

00:26:04.860 We must pass comprehensive election reforms and we must do it now. The Democrats use the China virus

00:26:12.780 as an excuse to change all of the election rules without the approval of their state legislatures,

00:26:19.180 making it therefore illegal. It had a massive impact on the election. Again, you have to go to the

00:26:29.340 legislatures to get these approvals. This alone would have easily changed the outcome of the election 0.86

00:26:35.660 at levels that you wouldn't have even believed. Even with COVID, even with all of the things,

00:26:41.740 the numbers are staggering. We can never let this or other abuses of the 2020 election

00:26:49.660 be repeated or happen again. We can never let that happen again. You see what's going on. We've been

00:26:56.540 set back so greatly with other countries and with the world. We need election integrity and election

00:27:04.140 reform immediately. Republicans should be the party of honest elections that can give everyone

00:27:10.620 confidence in the future of our country. Without honest elections, who has confidence? Who has confidence?

00:27:17.340 Democrats. This issue is being studied and examined. But the reality is you cannot have a situation where

00:27:24.380 ballots are indiscriminately pouring in from all over the country. Tens of millions of ballots.

00:27:30.780 Where are they coming from? They're coming all over the place. Where illegal aliens and dead people are voting 0.99

00:27:37.820 and many other horrible things are happening that are too voluminous to even mention. But people know.

00:27:45.340 I mean, it's being studied and the level of dishonesty is not to be believed. We have a very sick and corrupt 0.98

00:27:54.300 electoral process that must be fixed immediately. This election was rigged and the Supreme Court and other courts

00:28:02.700 didn't want to do anything about it.

00:28:04.620 By the way, if you think that's just a US issue, may I direct you to today's issue of blacklocks.ca that

00:28:14.620 reports a liberal dominated committee in parliament is calling for voting by cell phone in Canada. I'm

00:28:21.260 not even kidding. Just vote on your phone like that won't be hacked and rigged. Maybe Huawei will get the contract.

00:28:27.980 Speaking of which, here's Trump on big tech.

00:28:29.740 The time has come to break up big tech monopolies and restore fair competition.

00:28:47.260 Republicans, conservatives must open up our platforms and repeal Section 230 liability protections.

00:28:54.380 And if the federal government refuses to act, then every state in the union where we have the votes,

00:29:06.780 which is a lot of them, big tech giants like Twitter, Google and Facebook should be punished

00:29:12.620 with major sanctions whenever they silence conservative voices.

00:29:25.420 And Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida and in Texas and in other states are doing this.

00:29:31.420 If they do what they're doing, Florida, and that legislation will pass. And Texas and others

00:29:43.660 will have tremendous power to do what's right and what's fair.

00:29:47.660 Exactly right. Trouble is here in Canada, our provincial premiers lack the knowledge or ambition or

00:29:53.580 courage to tackle big tech. And our federal government is in cahoots with big tech directly.

00:29:58.460 For example, the head of policy for Facebook Canada, Kevin Chan, is a former staffer in the

00:30:04.300 Liberal Party of Canada's leader's office. It really is a revolving door of the same people.

00:30:08.860 Now, it's a long speech by Trump, 90 minutes, and maybe I'm taking too much of your time. But

00:30:13.740 here, just watch the last few minutes of his speech. We have to have triumph.

00:30:18.780 We have to have victory. With the talent and dedication of everyone here today,

00:30:23.900 and you have tremendous, not only dedication, tremendous talent in this room. I know many of you.

00:30:30.860 That is exactly what we will do. We will go on to victory. We will summon the spirit of generations

00:30:38.140 of American patriots before us, like those heroes who crossed the Delaware, conquered the Rockies,

00:30:45.180 stormed the beaches, won the battles, and tamed the unknown frontiers. We will persist,

00:30:51.100 and we will prevail. We're tougher than they are. We're stronger than they are.

00:30:55.420 Together, in the coming years, we will carry forward the torch of American liberty.

00:31:03.100 We will lead the conservative movement and the Republican Party back to a totally conclusive

00:31:09.740 victory. And we've had tremendous victories. Don't ever forget it.

00:31:13.020 With your help, we will take back the House. We will win the Senate. And then a Republican president

00:31:23.180 will make a triumphant return to the White House. And I wonder who that will be.

00:31:29.660 I wonder who that will be. Who, who, who will that be? I wonder.

00:31:51.180 Standing before you today, I am supremely confident that for our movement, for our party,

00:31:58.700 and for our country, our brightest days are just ahead. And that together, we will make America

00:32:06.300 prouder, freer, stronger, and greater than it ever has been before. Thank you, CPAC. God bless you,

00:32:14.940 and God bless America. Thank you all. Thank you.

00:32:17.900 They actually meet in person down there. Some people wear masks, some don't. They actually say what they

00:32:23.020 believe in. They actually shout back at cancel culture. They actually talk with pride about their

00:32:27.500 country and their history, and they promise to fight. Where is that up here? Stay with us for more.

00:32:35.020 Welcome back. Well, I keep looking at all these stories by so-called fact checkers in the media

00:32:52.300 calling other journalists fake news. They're really not fact checkers. They're really not journalists

00:32:57.420 either. They're anti-journalists. The job of a fact checker, especially at a CBC state broadcaster

00:33:03.020 or another mainstream media outlet, is usually to discredit contrary narratives. As we've shown you

00:33:10.060 before, during the pandemic, most CBC fact checks are simply trying to tamp out other points of view

00:33:17.100 that ultimately turn out to be accurate. For example, the CBC again and again said it simply was

00:33:23.500 misinformation and fake news that Justin Trudeau was setting up forced confinement centers at airports.

00:33:31.980 In fact, as we now know, that is exactly what happened. No one has bothered to fact check the

00:33:37.740 fact checkers. Well, now that fact checking misinformation battle is going deep. As it turns out,

00:33:46.460 Microsoft is part of a coalition that is trying to trace every word, every video on the internet to

00:33:54.060 its original source. I learned about this in a terrifying article in Breitbart.com written by

00:33:59.900 our friend Alan Bocari. Let me read the headline to you. Microsoft and friends want to destroy

00:34:07.500 online privacy. They're talking about a coalition called the Coalition for Content Provenance and

00:34:16.620 Authenticity. C2PA is the name of it. And it would effectively end all internet privacy or at least

00:34:26.300 what little is left. Joining us now via Skype is Alan Bocari, the author of this report. Alan,

00:34:31.660 great to see you again. Just when you thought the news couldn't get any worse, can you tell us a little

00:34:35.580 bit about what this Microsoft led project would do? Did I accurately, I don't think I explained very

00:34:41.660 well, what privacy would this eliminate? Hi, Ezra. Good to be on. And you know,

00:34:48.300 you know, I don't say this lightly, but I genuinely think this particular story, which hasn't got much

00:34:54.460 attention yet, is big tech's most brazen power grab yet. It goes beyond even, you know, banning the

00:35:01.180 president as they did last month. This is enormous because what they, what the goal of this organization

00:35:09.820 seems to be, as you said, they want to track every piece of content, everything that's created and

00:35:15.580 goes on to the end. They want to know the authorship. They want to know the provenance. That's their stated

00:35:20.060 goal. And when you look at the companies that are involved in this coalition, you have Microsoft, which

00:35:25.660 runs Word, which runs Paint, which runs, you know, that they have their own video making software as

00:35:31.020 well. You've got Adobe also, you know, that if you make a PDF, it's from Adobe. If you use Photoshop,

00:35:38.140 that's Adobe. Premiere Pro, the number one video creating software, that's Adobe too. There's also a

00:35:46.060 company that's developed technology that traces photos from the moment you capture them on, on

00:35:51.580 smartphones. So when you take all these groups together, you, it's, it's, and you know, you have

00:35:57.820 all those companies working together to trace the origin of content. It's impossible to, to, uh, imagine

00:36:04.620 how privacy and online anonymity can survive, but that's not the worst thing about it. That's, it would

00:36:10.940 be bad enough if just those companies were involved, but, uh, also involved is Intel. Intel is the market

00:36:16.780 leading manufacturer of, of central processing units, CPUs, microchips. Uh, the CPU sees everything

00:36:25.580 that you do on your computer. It processes all information, whether the computer is online or

00:36:30.380 offline. Uh, if, if Intel is going to be involved in this initiative and they're going to use CPUs to

00:36:37.100 track, uh, the provenance of content, there's nowhere left to hide. Now they haven't stated up front that

00:36:42.700 they're going to do that, but that seems to be the, uh, the goal here. They said they want, they want,

00:36:46.620 want to establish provenance. They want to establish authorship. And if Intel, you know,

00:36:51.980 isn't going to do that, if they aren't going to use their CPUs, CPUs to do that, why are they part

00:36:56.220 of this coalition? Yeah. Very interesting. Uh, I mean, Microsoft controls so many things,

00:37:01.660 if I'm not mistaken. Um, Outlook, which is a, uh, a major email provider. I think they even own

00:37:07.660 Skype, if I'm not mistaken. So they do so many different things. And I know, for example,

00:37:14.940 I've used a lot of these programs. Many people have, you're talking about some of the most popular

00:37:18.460 programs around. We edit our videos using Adobe Premiere, if I'm not mistaken. Um, I know that

00:37:24.460 when you create a word document, if you click on properties, I think it's called, it says the name

00:37:29.420 of the person and whatnot, but you can make a document private. You can hide that in Adobe. You can do,

00:37:36.220 you can redact that because people know there are some times when you want privacy who,

00:37:41.900 you don't want the name of every single person who touched the document on it. That's a valuable

00:37:47.180 thing. And it's, there, there's very good reasons for that. It sounds like all of that will be wiped

00:37:54.940 out. And I can't think of a good rationale for that other than ending any anonymity for political

00:38:04.780 reasons. And you quote from the predecessor group. This group is called the Coalition for Content,

00:38:12.220 Provenance and Authenticity. You mentioned they had a precursor group called Project Origin. And

00:38:19.180 what scares me, Alan, is that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Trudeau State Broadcaster,

00:38:24.180 was part of it. I'm just going to read the mission statement. And I'd love for you to give me your

00:38:28.020 thoughts on this. Misinformation, and I'm quoting from your article, misinformation is a growing

00:38:35.000 threat to the integrity of the information ecosystem. This is Project Origin's mission

00:38:40.020 statement. Having a provable source of origin for media and knowing that it has not been tampered with

00:38:47.340 en route will help to maintain confidence in news from trusted providers. And that's why I started by

00:38:54.640 talking about CBC. They've been trying to smear any political dissidents as misinformation. Turns out

00:39:00.060 they were misinformation. The fact that a state broadcaster is involved in hunting down who wrote

00:39:07.620 what and who changed what, that gives me the willies, Alan. Yeah. And it wasn't at all surprising

00:39:13.720 to me to see how many media organizations are involved in this, because this is sort of like the end game of

00:39:20.040 censorship. If you can trace all content online, you can then assign it different levels of importance.

00:39:25.820 You can prioritize certain types of content in your algorithms based on where it comes from. And it's a

00:39:31.560 lot easier to do that if there are signals attached to every document and every video and everything

00:39:36.920 that's created on your computer that anyone can read once it hits the internet. So it's an absolutely

00:39:44.200 essential thing if you want to censor information, if you want to prioritize the content of mainstream

00:39:48.840 media outlets, which is, of course, what media has been pushing for for the past four years,

00:39:53.880 they don't really care if they're going to destroy online anonymity and privacy in the process,

00:39:57.820 because that's the whole point. They don't want dissident information to be able to thrive and to be

00:40:02.080 able to spread. Yeah. And that's the thing is, I mean, the app called Signal, which purports to be a

00:40:10.920 hard to decrypt, hard to hack communication app, it's been very popular in recent months because

00:40:17.320 other rivals have revised their privacy policies. WhatsApp, which used to be the most popular app

00:40:24.280 in the world, they now say, well, we're going to share this information with this and with that.

00:40:28.860 And people value their privacy. So that's where the market is going. Individuals want more privacy,

00:40:35.200 not less. And you can see why. You know, I'm just terrified. You know, if Trudeau is going to have a

00:40:41.840 vaccine database, if the United Kingdom is going to have a vaccine database, you know that China is 0.98

00:40:47.900 going to hack into that in minutes and get the health data of every single human being in the

00:40:53.120 West. I think there's going to be a growing demand for privacy. And yet the tech companies want to

00:40:59.020 destroy what privacy we have. Do you think that users will revolt? Or is that like the old saying,

00:41:06.720 build your own internet? Like there is no way to revolt because we're all trapped in the system.

00:41:11.060 Well, I have to emphasize this again. I mean, you know, we all know that the tech companies,

00:41:17.360 Facebook and Google, their business model is based on violations of privacy. It's based on

00:41:22.960 scooping up mass quantities of user data and knowing everything about you. But up until now,

00:41:29.540 we could at least assume that we're safe when we're logged off from the internet. And you can even use

00:41:33.540 workarounds like VPNs and private browsers like Brave and Tor to protect your privacy online.

00:41:41.040 But I have to emphasize again, if they start embedding tracing, methods of tracing at the

00:41:47.820 level of the CPU, the central processing unit of computers, then there is absolutely nowhere to

00:41:52.840 hide. And that's why the involvement of Intel in this coalition is so alarming.

00:41:58.500 Last question for you. First of all, Alan, congratulations on this scoop. And you've done an excellent job of

00:42:04.820 making it easier to understand. And you're teaching me here because I'm not quite as fluent in these matters

00:42:09.720 as you. Let me just give a shout out to the name of the article. Again, I would encourage all our viewers to

00:42:14.200 visit Breitbart.com. The article is called Microsoft and Friends Want to Destroy Online Privacy.

00:42:21.440 Who is a countervailing force here? Is there, I mean, I don't see the consumer advocates. I don't see the

00:42:29.700 civil liberties advocates out in force. Is there another commercial entity? Is there another industry?

00:42:35.980 Is there some force that says, whoa, it is in our interest to stop this and we'll fight like hell

00:42:42.060 against it? Or is there no one opposing this? Well, in this particular issue, I don't think a lot of

00:42:47.460 people have noticed yet and have realized the scale of the threat. I will say while Intel does control,

00:42:53.320 I think, upwards of 80 percent of the market sharing desktop and laptop CPUs, there is a significant

00:42:59.580 competitor, AMD, which also makes microchips, also makes CPUs, and doesn't appear to be a part of this

00:43:05.120 coalition. So that's good to see. Another thing I'll say is that, you know, Intel hasn't said that

00:43:10.320 this is exactly what they're going to do, that they're actually going to start tracing people

00:43:15.840 via CPUs. But I don't see why they'd be involved in this coalition if that wasn't their goal.

00:43:22.180 So we have to watch and see how it develops, see what the goal here is exactly. But right now,

00:43:28.840 it looks very, very worrying.

00:43:30.000 Yeah, well, that's for sure. Well, I'm so glad you're on watch. We need more people keeping

00:43:34.620 an eye on these things. You're one of the best at it. Alan, always a pleasure to have your time.

00:43:39.240 Thanks for making the time for us and sharing your expertise.

00:43:42.880 Thanks, Ezra.

00:43:43.380 All right, there you have it. Alan Bocari, Chief Tech Correspondent at Breitbart.com. He's on the case.

00:43:48.980 I'm glad he is. Stay with us. More ahead.

00:44:00.000 Hey, welcome back on my show. The other day, I think it was Friday, on BC's top doctor,

00:44:07.900 Bonnie Henry, Michael writes, well, as an employee, she should expect correction from her employer,

00:44:12.980 the people, when she is falling short of doing her job. The people have given her some grace by

00:44:17.600 not firing her yet. Yeah, listen, if you're making public decisions, you should allow for public

00:44:23.400 criticism, even offensive criticism. I don't think she said anything offensive happened. They were

00:44:28.700 protesting outside her office. Even if they were rude, sorry, you're wrecking lives and deciding

00:44:34.840 things that no parliament or elected officer has ever done before. You're going to get some

00:44:41.160 feedback. And if you don't like it, how about stop acting like a dictator? Let someone else take

00:44:46.240 that job or maybe abandon the job. We're through the emergency. It's over. Jane writes, it is an

00:44:52.820 acceptable activity for Canadians to protest and she has no right to say otherwise. Oh, I know she's

00:44:57.340 being treated as the victim here. Bruce writes, these bureaucrats need to expect protesters, 1.00

00:45:03.060 unelected experts, or the ones robbing us of our charter rights. Yeah, I say again, there's no 0.88

00:45:07.420 charter exemption for a pandemic. It's just not a thing. I mean, how long will our courts allow these 1.00

00:45:15.180 infringements to continue? Not long, I hope. That's our story for today. Until tomorrow, on behalf of all

00:45:21.280 of us here at Rebel World, Hank, what are you doing? Good night. Keep fighting for freedom because God knows we need to

00:45:26.480 eventually come back to this point.

00:45:29.480 And you can absolutely think that we'll be doing something I want to consider just

00:45:35.460 to facilitcık and be�. Need to think on this part of this document being made of 11 wheat,

00:45:38.940 part of this document being generated as a rebellion to come back from

00:45:46.300 the future. The future will be done at project of 5, parlar, nazis with the police officers,

00:45:51.460 and a team of the learning studio through seven years of origin. That's very important part of this
