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
00:00:39.860
subscriber to what we call Rebel News Plus. That's eight bucks a month to get the video version of
00:00:45.880
these podcasts, plus Sheila Gunn-Reed, David Menzies, Andrew Chapitreau, they have weekly podcasts.
00:00:51.100
Get access to that too. Oh, and we have a new thing where if you're a subscriber to Rebel News Plus,
00:00:55.320

00:01:00.640
And of course, it's only eight bucks a month, which is less than most services,
00:01:04.580
and you have the satisfaction of knowing that that keeps the Rebel strong.

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
00:02:55.940
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
00:03:17.020
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
00:03:41.120
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
00:05:07.080
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
00:05:37.660
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
00:13:21.480
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,
00:19:12.780
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
00:23:30.380
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
00:24:20.620
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
00:24:48.060
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.
00:25:32.060
Another one of the most urgent issues facing the Republican Party is that of ensuring fair,
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
00:28:04.620
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.
00:28:29.740
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,
00:43:30.000
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.
00:43:43.380
All right, there you have it. Alan Bocari, Chief Tech Correspondent at Breitbart.com. He's on the case.
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
