Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ A Global News journalist cries on camera — are they crocodile tears？

00:00:00.000 Hello, my friends. I'm so very proud of the monologue today. I think it's important. There's

00:00:03.040 a little bit of investigative journalism on my part. You wouldn't think so because I'm actually

00:00:07.700 just dissecting a video produced by another journalist, Rachel Gilmore of Global News.

00:00:13.460 But I paused it and freeze-framed it, and I read things on the page before they whisked by, and

00:00:19.080 I found some incredible things. I think Rachel Gilmore is a liar when she says people are

00:00:25.020 threatening to kill her. I mean, it's a shocking thing to lie about, but my God, I think I've got

00:00:29.660 the proof. You're going to want to see this one, and when I say see this one, I want you to be able

00:00:34.300 to visually see it because I freeze-frame on her video to actually read the documents she's referring

00:00:40.240 to. She did not redact them, and you'll learn a lot by freezing her video. I want you to see it.

00:01:02.120 you don't want to miss the video for today's episode. I promise you that. All right, here's

00:01:06.020 today's podcast.

00:01:06.680 Tonight, a global news journalist cries on camera, but are they crocodile tears? It's December 7th,

00:01:29.020 and this is the Ezra LeVant Show. Shame on you, you censorious bug.

00:01:46.000 Here's a tweet from Rachel Gilmore of Global News. She says,

00:01:49.960 I'm done. Free press is under attack. We won't be silenced, but we need you to stand up for us.

00:01:58.480 Holy moly. Wow. And take a look at this. Hundreds of journalists retweeted it. They came to her aid,

00:02:05.700 a damsel in distress. Here's the Canadian Association of Journalists. They say,

00:02:11.040 online harassment is a scourge on our democracy, and it needs to stop. We stand with Rachel Gilmore.

00:02:16.980 Hmm. And so many more female journalists and journalists of color who are all too frequently 1.00

00:02:23.620 subjected to this vile abuse. And they have a link. And then here's Penn Canada, one of my favorite

00:02:28.500 groups. I'm a member of them. They say Penn Canada stands with Rachel Gilmore and her colleagues in

00:02:34.500 Canadian media and journalism who are suffering relentless targeted attacks, threats of violence,

00:02:40.440 online harassment, intimidation, and abuse for doing their jobs and being women and or

00:02:45.120 IBPOC, press freedom. Okay. Now, studies show that men are actually attacked more online,

00:02:53.860 just like they are in real life. And I'm using the word attack in a nonviolent way. You can't

00:02:58.280 actually suffer violence on Twitter. I suppose you could have a threat, but men are attacked more

00:03:03.940 than women are. But still, what attacks does she mean? Because I don't like people being attacked.

00:03:11.160 Do they mean something like what happens to our rebel news journalists on a regular basis? Here are a

00:03:15.820 few attacks on journalists that come to my mind. Many of the attacks are actually at the hands of the

00:03:21.500 police. Take a look.

00:03:22.340 what they said.

00:03:44.520 Out of here is a public park.

00:03:46.520 Don't...

00:03:48.520 Come on! 0.61

00:03:50.520 Don't touch me again, buddy.

00:03:54.520 Here are the thugs!

00:03:56.520 Here are the thugs!

00:03:58.520 Shame! Shame!

00:04:00.520 Shame! Shame!

00:04:02.520 Shame! Shame!

00:04:04.520 What are you doing?

00:04:06.520 Get off of me! 1.00

00:04:08.520 Hey, this is assault.

00:04:10.520 I'm on a sidewalk.

00:04:12.520 I'm on a sidewalk.

00:04:14.520 Ugh! 0.97

00:04:16.520 I'm on a sidewalk.

00:04:18.520 What is this? You cannot touch me!

00:04:20.520 I'm not rushing over me.

00:04:22.520 It's me!

00:04:24.520 Like...

00:04:26.520 Are you kidding?

00:04:28.520 Are you kidding?

00:04:30.520 Oh! 0.60

00:04:32.520 Ow! 1.00

00:04:34.520 Ow! 1.00

00:04:36.520 Ow! 1.00

00:04:38.520 What?

00:04:40.520 I'm with Rebel News.

00:04:42.520 I'm not media Jewish.

00:04:48.520 So why are we getting such a tough time?

00:04:50.520 We've been through this so many times with you guys.

00:04:52.520 I need to hold my camera, man.

00:04:54.520 Hey, what's going on? I need to hold my cam...

00:04:56.520 Hey! 0.99

00:04:58.520 The reality is...

00:05:00.520 Organizations...

00:05:02.520 Organizations like yours...

00:05:04.520 Yours...

00:05:06.520 That continue to spread misinformation and disinformation...

00:05:08.520 I won't call it a media organization.

00:05:10.520 Your group of individuals need to take accountability...

00:05:14.520 Polarization that we're seeing in this country.

00:05:18.520 It's disappointing to see the Conservatives engage in peddling...

00:05:22.520 Engage in peddling...

00:05:23.520 Rebel media...

00:05:24.520 Rebel media...

00:05:25.520 Conspiracy theories...

00:05:26.520 Conspiracies...

00:05:27.520 I share my perspective on your organization...

00:05:29.520 This evening...

00:05:31.520 You have nothing to say.

00:05:33.520 You're censorious...

00:05:34.520 You've physically assaulted me...

00:05:35.520 And so did you...

00:05:36.520 And so did this...

00:05:37.520 The likes of CBC and the other members of the media party...

00:05:40.520 They're in there...

00:05:41.520 They're reporting in the warmth...

00:05:42.520 But they can't even give us...

00:05:44.520 The opportunity to ask one bloody question...

00:05:47.520 On a public sidewalk...

00:05:48.520 Why the f**k are you here?

00:05:50.520 We're working sir...

00:05:51.520 Because you guys are shutting down the bridge...

00:05:52.520 We want to know why...

00:05:53.520 Why don't you f**k off?

00:05:54.520 Here...

00:05:55.520 There's for your f**king membership...

00:05:56.520 There's for your rebel news...

00:05:57.520 Go f**k yourself lady... 1.00

00:05:59.520 Go f**k yourself...

00:06:00.520 Go f**k yourself...

00:06:01.520 Would you like me to turn it up?

00:06:02.520 Here you go...

00:06:03.520 Go f**k yourself...

00:06:04.520 You're no f**king friend to native people...

00:06:06.520 Go f**k off...

00:06:07.520 I am native...

00:06:08.520 F**k off...

00:06:09.520 F**k off playing that f**king card...

00:06:11.520 F**k you...

00:06:12.520 You're telling me I'm playing a race card?

00:06:14.520 Yeah you are...

00:06:15.520 Get the f**k out of here...

00:06:17.520 Get the f**k off...

00:06:34.520 Are you playing hockey here?

00:06:36.520 No I'm just coming to check in on our facility...

00:06:38.520 So I'm gonna...

00:06:39.520 We're gonna check...

00:06:40.520 You're not supposed to be here actually...

00:06:42.520 Ok I'll rest you...

00:06:47.520 I have my...

00:06:49.520 I have my...

00:06:50.520 I have my...

00:06:51.520 We already spoke to Darcy Henson... 1.00

00:06:52.520 Yeah...

00:06:53.520 He said there should be no problem...

00:06:54.520 To come in...

00:06:55.520 What?

00:06:56.520 Sorry...

00:06:57.520 Why is that?

00:06:58.520 Sorry...

00:06:59.520 Why?

00:07:00.520 Now this is an administrative penalty notice...

00:07:02.520 Oh...

00:07:03.520 For what?

00:07:04.520 Yeah...

00:07:05.520 This is for...

00:07:06.520 Shaking hands with the public...

00:07:07.520 No way...

00:07:08.520 To maintain a distance at least 2 meters from another person...

00:07:10.520 I'm gonna release you...

00:07:11.520 Mm-hmm...

00:07:12.520 You go back...

00:07:13.520 You have to wear a mask...

00:07:14.520 If you don't...

00:07:15.520 You're gonna be detained...

00:07:16.520 You understand?

00:07:17.520 Again like this?

00:07:18.520 No...

00:07:19.520 You go to the police station...

00:07:20.520 To jail basically...

00:07:21.520 To jail yeah...

00:07:22.520 Did Rachel Gilmore get attacked like any of those people?

00:07:25.520 Did she get...

00:07:26.520 Did she get hit...

00:07:27.520 God forbid...

00:07:28.520 Or kicked...

00:07:29.520 Or tripped...

00:07:30.520 Or punched like David Menzies was...

00:07:31.520 God forbid...

00:07:32.520 Was she shot like Alexa Lavoie... 0.99

00:07:34.520 A woman... 1.00

00:07:35.520 Let's watch her video...

00:07:37.520 I wanna play the whole video...

00:07:39.520 I'm not gonna leave one second out...

00:07:41.520 So you can hear for yourself...

00:07:43.520 What she's talking about...

00:07:45.520 I'm a female reporter... 0.99

00:07:47.520 And I have been receiving death threats for months now...

00:07:50.520 My DMs...

00:07:51.520 My replies on Twitter...

00:07:53.520 My emails...

00:07:54.520 This is what they look like everyday...

00:07:56.520 And it's not just me...

00:07:57.520 People are targeting female... 1.00

00:07:59.520 And especially women of colour...

00:08:01.520 Journalists...

00:08:02.520 Trying to silence our voices...

00:08:04.520 Myself and my colleagues...

00:08:06.520 Erica and Saba...

00:08:07.520 Have been on the receiving end of these for months...

00:08:09.520 And we've reported it to the police...

00:08:11.520 And so far...

00:08:12.520 Nothing...

00:08:13.520 Has happened...

00:08:14.520 Meanwhile...

00:08:15.520 We've been told that our photos were plastered to the wall of a garage...

00:08:17.520 And they were deciding which one of us they wanted to kill...

00:08:20.520 And we're told that we're being stalked...

00:08:22.520 And I don't feel safe leaving my house anymore...

00:08:24.520 Everyday...

00:08:25.520 It's like this...

00:08:26.520 Everyday...

00:08:27.520 When right-wing influencers talk about me...

00:08:29.520 I get another one...

00:08:30.520 There is racist, misogynistic, disgusting, and threatening language in all of them...

00:08:34.520 And our only crime is doing...

00:08:36.520 Journalism...

00:08:37.520 Free press is under attack...

00:08:39.520 And people need to pay attention...

00:08:41.520 And do something about it...

00:08:42.520 Or one of us will get killed...

00:08:43.520 Or one of us will get killed...

00:08:44.520 Wow...

00:08:45.520 So it sounds like she's received some very mean tweets and emails...

00:08:50.520 And she described some of the messages, didn't she?

00:08:53.520 She talked about photos plastered to the wall...

00:08:56.520 A list of journalists to kill...

00:08:58.520 She says she's being stalked...

00:09:00.520 That's terrifying for a woman... 1.00

00:09:01.520 For anyone...

00:09:02.520 She says she can't even leave the house... 1.00

00:09:05.520 Every day this happens...

00:09:07.520 And she blames right-wingers... 0.97

00:09:08.520 Right-wingers...

00:09:09.520 They're the worst...

00:09:10.520 Now like any dad...

00:09:11.520 I am very susceptible to a young person crying...

00:09:15.520 And I read one of those messages that she showed...

00:09:18.520 Someone wrote...

00:09:19.520 You can see it...

00:09:20.520 I froze the image here...

00:09:22.520 She says...

00:09:23.520 I'll kill you, bitch... 1.00

00:09:24.520 Better watch your back when you're in public...

00:09:27.520 And a few seconds later...

00:09:29.520 You can see an email from the Ottawa police...

00:09:32.520 Telling her that she has been assigned...

00:09:34.520 A police officer to help her...

00:09:36.520 A lead investigator...

00:09:37.520 Which suggests that there are more than one investigator...

00:09:40.520 So...

00:09:41.520 I'm sympathetic if...

00:09:43.520 God forbid if someone would say that to me...

00:09:45.520 Or my family or friends...

00:09:46.520 I mean if someone's saying I'll kill you...

00:09:47.520 I think the police should investigate...

00:09:49.520 And as you can see they are...

00:09:52.520 But can I ask a few questions...

00:09:55.520 About global news...

00:09:57.520 Monetizing and commercializing this story...

00:10:00.520 About publishing a tearful report about it...

00:10:03.520 I mean...

00:10:04.520 That's unusual, isn't it?

00:10:06.520 I showed you a clip that had...

00:10:08.520 Alexa Lavoie crying in it...

00:10:10.520 But she had literally been shot seconds earlier...

00:10:13.520 You've never seen Alexa go into the studio... 1.00

00:10:16.520 And read a script...

00:10:17.520 And cry on demand for a video...

00:10:19.520 And then put it up for clicks and ad money...

00:10:21.520 That's a bit...

00:10:22.520 I don't know the word...

00:10:23.520 Performative?

00:10:24.520 Exploitative?

00:10:25.520 That's the global news way...

00:10:27.520 But still...

00:10:28.520 You heard her...

00:10:30.520 Rachel Gilmore says this happens every day...

00:10:33.520 She doesn't even like leaving her house anymore... 1.00

00:10:36.520 Except I happen to know that's not true...

00:10:38.520 Because I did a show about Rachel Gilmore in part...

00:10:41.520 Just last week...

00:10:42.520 When she did leave her house...

00:10:44.520 She went to a blue chip fancy people only... 0.72

00:10:46.520 Panel at Carleton Journalism School...

00:10:49.520 She was on a panel with some of the most important people in the media...

00:10:53.520 The president of the CBC...

00:10:55.520 The head of global news...

00:10:56.520 Her big boss...

00:10:57.520 The bureau chief of CTV...

00:10:59.520 These were the most powerful women in Ottawa media... 0.99

00:11:02.520 And sitting next to them...

00:11:03.520 Was no one less than the liberal public safety minister...

00:11:07.520 Marco Mendocino...

00:11:08.520 So not only was she safe...

00:11:11.520 She obviously felt safe...

00:11:13.520 Because she was laughing and joking...

00:11:15.520 And talking about her favorite subject...

00:11:18.520 Herself! 0.91

00:11:19.520 Especially...

00:11:20.520 Like white male journalists...

00:11:22.520 A really tough question...

00:11:23.520 Journalists were like constantly on Twitter...

00:11:25.520 We're all about Twitter...

00:11:27.520 So maybe I'll make a TikTok...

00:11:28.520 Park with my dog...

00:11:29.520 I like pumpkin spice latte...

00:11:31.520 Maybe because I'm annoying...

00:11:32.520 Or maybe just because I'm a journalist...

00:11:34.520 Maybe that's a little something to think about...

00:11:36.520 You know?

00:11:37.520 She wanted to talk about herself and laugh...

00:11:39.520 And me, me, me, me, me, me, me...

00:11:40.520 Did she look terrified to you?

00:11:43.520 But she said it happens constantly...

00:11:46.520 And she showed that first message... 0.83

00:11:48.520 Didn't she?

00:11:49.520 Except if you look there...

00:11:51.520 If you freeze it...

00:11:52.520 You can see it had a date on it...

00:11:53.520 July 24th...

00:11:55.520 That's a long time ago...

00:11:56.520 It seems odd to cry today...

00:11:59.520 About a tweet from months ago...

00:12:02.520 When she was just yucking it up and laughing...

00:12:04.520 With powerful insiders just a few days ago...

00:12:06.520 It almost seems like this video is staged...

00:12:08.520 Now you can see the person who wrote that mean threat to her...

00:12:11.520 You can see the name there...

00:12:13.520 Tyson Martins 5...

00:12:15.520 When she moves her head to one side...

00:12:16.520 You can see Tyson Martins 5...

00:12:18.520 So I went online to Twitter...

00:12:20.520 And I typed in Tyson Martins 5...

00:12:22.520 And as you can see...

00:12:23.520 It no longer exists...

00:12:24.520 So it has been dealt with...

00:12:26.520 Perhaps months ago...

00:12:28.520 But she's making it sound like that just happened to her...

00:12:31.520 Didn't she?

00:12:32.520 And that neither the police nor Twitter has done anything about it...

00:12:34.520 But they obviously have...

00:12:37.520 Why would she mislead people like that?

00:12:39.520 That's strange...

00:12:41.520 And here's another message that she showed...

00:12:44.520 At 18 seconds in...

00:12:45.520 Here's one that calls her an insulting name... 1.00

00:12:48.520 An old crone... 0.98

00:12:50.520 C-R-O-N-E... 1.00

00:12:51.520 That's sort of an old-fashioned word...

00:12:53.520 It means an old and ugly woman... 1.00

00:12:55.520 Rachel Gilmour is obviously not old or ugly... 0.98

00:12:57.520 But I get it...

00:12:58.520 It's a mean insult...

00:12:59.520 In a long, long, ranty, crazy email...

00:13:04.520 I get those...

00:13:05.520 I get maybe 50 emails like that a day...

00:13:09.520 Why read it and obsess over it?

00:13:11.520 I mean...

00:13:12.520 You're in the public square...

00:13:13.520 You're gonna get heckled...

00:13:16.520 She certainly heckles others in the public square... 1.00

00:13:18.520 I mean...

00:13:19.520 I call her a crone...

00:13:21.520 But she shows that email...

00:13:23.520 While saying someone is trying to silence her voice...

00:13:27.520 Yeah, I don't think so...

00:13:28.520 Just delete them and block them...

00:13:30.520 They can't silence you...

00:13:31.520 Why are you even reading your hate mail?

00:13:34.520 But look at these two images she showed...

00:13:35.520 Take a look...

00:13:36.520 Meanwhile, we've been told that our photos...

00:13:38.520 Were plastered to the wall of a garage...

00:13:40.520 And they were deciding which one of us...

00:13:41.520 They wanted to kill...

00:13:42.520 Really?

00:13:44.520 Now I paused the video on that page...

00:13:47.520 And I read it...

00:13:49.520 What she wasn't strategically blocking with her head...

00:13:53.520 And you know...

00:13:54.520 What that death threat threatened to kill was all about?

00:13:58.520 They were talking about the rude party game...

00:14:02.520 That teenagers and college kids play...

00:14:05.520 It's called Mary... 0.65

00:14:06.520 And I don't want to say this...

00:14:07.520 There's a swear in the middle...

00:14:08.520 Mary F-U-C-K Kill... 1.00

00:14:10.520 I'm gonna say screw instead of F-U-C-K... 1.00

00:14:12.520 The game's called Mary Screw Kill... 0.99

00:14:15.520 It's a very rude game...

00:14:16.520 But it's very funny...

00:14:18.520 It's a game...

00:14:19.520 A joke...

00:14:20.520 Typically played by drunk young people being risque...

00:14:22.520 Where one person lists three people...

00:14:26.520 And you have to say which one you would marry...

00:14:28.520 Which one you would screw...

00:14:29.520 And which one you would kill...

00:14:32.520 Obviously it's a rude joke...

00:14:33.520 It's supposed to be an impossible...

00:14:35.520 It's a funny joke...

00:14:37.520 It's a party game...

00:14:39.520 Let me read what the actual email says...

00:14:42.520 The part that she isn't blocking...

00:14:44.520 She says...

00:14:45.520 There really was a wall of photos in the garage...

00:14:47.520 And it was like those things...

00:14:49.520 You'd see in detective movies...

00:14:50.520 With the hierarchy...

00:14:51.520 They used electrical tape...

00:14:53.520 To connect the lines from the photos...

00:14:55.520 Most of the ones on the top...

00:14:56.520 Looked to be non-racialized men... 0.98

00:14:58.520 But there was a lower tier...

00:15:00.520 Of C words...

00:15:02.520 I suppose that's a swear...

00:15:03.520 Now it goes on...

00:15:04.520 She's blocking some of it...

00:15:05.520 But it sounds like some crazy...

00:15:06.520 Gossipy weird story...

00:15:08.520 Told to her by a rambling...

00:15:10.520 Crazy friend...

00:15:12.520 The person who's writing this...

00:15:13.520 Is not threatening her...

00:15:14.520 And it looks like they might be talking about...

00:15:16.520 Something that was seen in Victoria, BC...

00:15:18.520 Rachel Gilmore lives in Ottawa...

00:15:21.520 But the kill part...

00:15:22.520 Was the game...

00:15:24.520 Mary Screw Kill... 1.00

00:15:27.520 That's a joke...

00:15:28.520 Everyone knows that's a joke...

00:15:30.520 Rachel Gilmore knows that's a joke...

00:15:32.520 She's pretending...

00:15:34.520 That people who play...

00:15:36.520 The drinking game...

00:15:37.520 Mary Screw Kill... 1.00

00:15:39.520 Are going to come to kill her...

00:15:42.520 So she's afraid to leave her house... 0.95

00:15:43.520 Even for a pumpkin spice latte...

00:15:47.520 But in any event...

00:15:48.520 This email...

00:15:49.080 Like I said...

00:15:49.520 This was not a threatening email...

00:15:50.520 It was reported by some kooky friend...

00:15:53.520 So that's not a threat letter...

00:15:54.520 That's a letter written by someone...

00:15:56.520 Who is either gossipy...

00:15:57.520 Or nutty...

00:15:59.520 Or...

00:16:00.520 Maybe if it's true...

00:16:01.520 Could tell Rachel Gilmore...

00:16:02.520 Where this imaginary gang compound is...

00:16:04.520 That has this list of white men... 0.82

00:16:06.520 And also gay dudes...

00:16:08.520 And some women... 1.00

00:16:09.520 I'll tell you where that...

00:16:11.520 Imaginary place is...

00:16:12.520 It's in her imagination...

00:16:14.520 But she did not believe...

00:16:16.520 That the game...

00:16:17.520 Mary Screw Kill... 1.00

00:16:18.520 Was actually gonna...

00:16:19.520 Kill anyone...

00:16:20.520 Rachel...

00:16:21.520 Gilmore...

00:16:22.520 Is lying...

00:16:25.520 Okay...

00:16:26.520 And we're told...

00:16:27.520 That we're being stalked...

00:16:28.520 And I don't feel safe...

00:16:29.520 Leaving my house anymore...

00:16:30.520 Being stalked...

00:16:32.520 Well that's pretty serious...

00:16:33.520 That would be scary...

00:16:34.520 But what was the evidence...

00:16:35.520 She put on her page then...

00:16:37.520 Well...

00:16:38.520 Another anonymous email...

00:16:39.520 I'll read it to you...

00:16:40.520 Or the part she's not blocking...

00:16:42.520 She says...

00:16:43.520 Just so you know...

00:16:44.520 We've had people...

00:16:45.520 Posing as stringers... 0.62

00:16:48.520 Infiltrating you guys...

00:16:49.520 Across the country...

00:16:50.520 For years...

00:16:51.520 Long before COVID came along...

00:16:53.520 Did you...

00:16:54.520 Ever wonder...

00:16:55.520 How home addresses...

00:16:56.520 And hangouts of people...

00:16:57.520 Leak out...

00:16:58.520 Including...

00:16:59.520 Ones of health officials...

00:17:00.520 Who were nobodies...

00:17:01.520 Before 2020...

00:17:02.520 And it goes on like that...

00:17:03.520 A stringer...

00:17:04.520 By the way...

00:17:05.520 Is...

00:17:06.520 Is someone who works...

00:17:07.520 Occasionally...

00:17:08.520 For a media company...

00:17:10.520 On this basis...

00:17:11.520 So some stranger...

00:17:12.520 Right...

00:17:13.520 Is writing an email...

00:17:14.520 To Rachel Gilmore...

00:17:15.520 She put it on the screen...

00:17:16.520 And she says...

00:17:17.520 That this email writer...

00:17:18.520 Who's...

00:17:19.520 I don't know...

00:17:20.520 In some band...

00:17:21.520 Of right wingers...

00:17:22.520 Or whatever...

00:17:23.520 Has actually been...

00:17:24.520 Infiltrating...

00:17:25.520 Global news...

00:17:27.520 Like with...

00:17:28.520 Fake employees...

00:17:29.520 Called the stringers... 0.95

00:17:31.520 For years now...

00:17:33.520 Going back to...

00:17:34.520 Before the pandemic...

00:17:35.520 So I guess like 2019...

00:17:37.520 Before I think...

00:17:38.520 Rachel Gilmore...

00:17:39.520 Even worked there...

00:17:40.520 Maybe she was very new there... 0.94

00:17:42.520 Posing as journalists...

00:17:43.520 Like some sort of...

00:17:44.520 Soviet sleeper cell...

00:17:45.520 In the west...

00:17:46.520 Waiting to be activated...

00:17:49.520 Do you really believe that?

00:17:52.520 That the trucker convoy...

00:17:54.520 Or whoever she hates today...

00:17:56.520 That three years ago...

00:17:58.520 Before the trucker convoy...

00:17:59.520 Was even a thing...

00:18:00.520 Before there was even a pandemic...

00:18:01.520 Before there was a convoy...

00:18:03.520 Three years ago...

00:18:04.520 That these truckers...

00:18:05.520 Or whoever...

00:18:07.520 Infiltrated...

00:18:08.520 Global news...

00:18:10.520 With fake journalists...

00:18:13.520 And they are stalking her...

00:18:15.520 From within her own...

00:18:18.520 Company...

00:18:19.520 That's what that email says...

00:18:21.520 And she is so terrified...

00:18:23.520 By that...

00:18:24.520 That the stalkers...

00:18:25.520 Are actually working...

00:18:26.520 Right next to her...

00:18:27.520 In global news...

00:18:28.520 That she is literally...

00:18:30.520 Crying...

00:18:32.520 Rachel...

00:18:33.520 You're a liar...

00:18:34.520 You're a liar...

00:18:36.520 Here's another one...

00:18:37.520 I'll read to you...

00:18:38.520 Jesus Christ...

00:18:39.520 Is this seriously...

00:18:40.520 What you went to university...

00:18:41.520 To do with your life?

00:18:42.520 Now I can't see...

00:18:43.520 The whole letter...

00:18:44.520 But I do not see...

00:18:45.520 Any swears or threats...

00:18:46.520 I just see that insult...

00:18:47.520 Mocking her for her journalism...

00:18:50.520 This is what she's...

00:18:51.520 Terrified about...

00:18:52.520 This is why she's crying...

00:18:54.520 But back to that first message...

00:18:56.520 That very first one...

00:18:57.520 Which...

00:18:58.520 Which I agree...

00:18:59.520 Is out of line...

00:19:00.520 That's called a direct message...

00:19:01.520 On Twitter...

00:19:02.520 It's the one...

00:19:03.520 That had the death threat in it...

00:19:04.520 And I absolutely...

00:19:05.520 Don't like it one bit...

00:19:06.520 I think it should be investigated...

00:19:07.520 Now...

00:19:08.520 A direct message on Twitter...

00:19:10.520 If you don't know...

00:19:11.520 Is like...

00:19:12.520 A private email...

00:19:13.520 But it goes through Twitter...

00:19:14.520 So you can see...

00:19:15.520 Some stranger...

00:19:16.520 Has tried to contact her...

00:19:18.520 And you can see...

00:19:19.520 Twitter has prompted her...

00:19:20.520 She can block him...

00:19:21.520 That's what Twitter...

00:19:22.520 Is prompting her to do...

00:19:24.520 To block this guy...

00:19:25.520 So she never has to hear from him...

00:19:26.520 Again...

00:19:27.520 Why does Rachel Gilmour... 1.00

00:19:30.520 Have her direct messages...

00:19:31.520 Open to the public like that?

00:19:35.020 It's like...

00:19:35.740 If you had a Facebook page...

00:19:37.520 And you let the entire world...

00:19:38.900 See your whole family...

00:19:39.960 As opposed to keeping it private...

00:19:42.080 If you look at...

00:19:42.980 Rachel Gilmour's Twitter account...

00:19:44.460 You can see that little...

00:19:45.520 Email envelope thing...

00:19:47.640 Which means...

00:19:48.240 Literally anyone in the world...

00:19:50.520 Can send her a private message...

00:19:52.360 And it goes straight to her account...

00:19:54.520 Why would she do that? 1.00

00:19:57.520 I only accept private messages...

00:19:59.880 From people I follow...

00:20:00.780 In my direct messages...

00:20:01.880 My friends or people I work with...

00:20:03.880 Who on earth...

00:20:05.060 Would leave their Twitter direct messages...

00:20:07.000 Open to the whole world...

00:20:08.440 Especially...

00:20:09.520 If she says that people...

00:20:11.000 Are having rude things...

00:20:12.200 To say to her for months...

00:20:13.100 Which apparently they have...

00:20:14.520 That would be like...

00:20:15.520 Leaving your door open...

00:20:17.480 And complaining that raccoons...

00:20:18.720 Are coming into those...

00:20:19.460 Well how about close the door?

00:20:21.460 Like Twitter prompts you...

00:20:23.020 To do literally every day...

00:20:24.520 It's almost like...

00:20:27.520 She likes it when this happens...

00:20:29.460 She feels important...

00:20:31.040 Almost like she thrives on it...

00:20:33.520 She loves playing the victim...

00:20:36.140 Almost like she's putting on a...

00:20:37.940 Performance that her bosses love...

00:20:41.200 She lied about the threat to kill her... 0.75

00:20:43.440 That was the party game...

00:20:44.840 Marry, screw, kill...

00:20:46.060 She's a liar... 1.00

00:20:47.080 She lied about police not helping...

00:20:49.800 They obviously are...

00:20:51.020 You can see that at least two officers...

00:20:53.220 Are dealing with her...

00:20:54.780 You can understand why they...

00:20:56.540 Don't prosecute someone playing...

00:20:58.560 Marry, screw, kill...

00:21:00.020 So you can't blame them for that...

00:21:01.660 She's an exaggerator... 1.00

00:21:03.540 That email that had the words...

00:21:04.820 Viva Frye on them... 0.93

00:21:05.640 Didn't contain a single swear or threat...

00:21:07.480 She just didn't like being told that...

00:21:09.540 She wasn't a good journalist... 1.00

00:21:11.860 And the truth is...

00:21:12.680 She isn't... 1.00

00:21:13.360 I mean...

00:21:14.020 This is her journalism...

00:21:16.020 Are you going to invite...

00:21:17.320 Your unvaccinated relatives... 0.90

00:21:19.020 To sit at the dinner table...

00:21:20.220 With you this Thanksgiving...

00:21:21.620 Experts are saying...

00:21:22.660 You might not want to risk it...

00:21:24.420 Here's why...

00:21:25.660 According to one expert...

00:21:26.920 From McMaster University...

00:21:28.520 Vaccines are super effective...

00:21:30.900 But...

00:21:31.700 They're most effective...

00:21:32.880 When you're surrounded...

00:21:33.740 By other vaccinated people...

00:21:36.100 If you invite someone...

00:21:36.880 Who isn't vaccinated...

00:21:38.160 There's a risk of having...

00:21:39.120 A breakthrough case...

00:21:40.220 Now breakthrough cases...

00:21:41.160 Are pretty rare...

00:21:42.400 There's only ever been...

00:21:43.300 About 8,000 in Ontario...

00:21:45.080 But kids can't get vaccinated yet...

00:21:47.380 So part of keeping those kids...

00:21:48.660 As safe as possible...

00:21:49.660 Is telling that one uncle...

00:21:50.820 Who chooses not to get vaccinated...

00:21:52.460 That he might have to sit this one out...

00:21:54.060 Yeah...

00:21:55.020 But remember her...

00:21:57.020 Girl power panel... 1.00

00:21:58.300 The other day...

00:21:59.740 Remember what they wanted...

00:22:01.980 They wanted the liberal government...

00:22:03.560 To criminalize people...

00:22:05.080 Talking back to journalists...

00:22:06.540 In mean ways...

00:22:07.800 Journalists can be mean to you...

00:22:09.660 You just can't be mean back...

00:22:12.660 We're not in a position...

00:22:13.660 To protect our journalists...

00:22:15.560 From this hate...

00:22:17.940 And that's why...

00:22:19.300 I think the conversation...

00:22:20.320 Has to be a bigger conversation...

00:22:21.840 It has to be something...

00:22:22.840 That's talked about...

00:22:23.500 At a policy level...

00:22:24.420 At a law enforcement level...

00:22:25.660 You know...

00:22:27.000 We don't have the tools...

00:22:28.420 To actually...

00:22:29.220 You know...

00:22:29.500 Go after these people...

00:22:30.860 And almost like...

00:22:32.480 It was choreographed...

00:22:33.660 Almost like it was planned...

00:22:35.660 The public safety minister...

00:22:38.660 Responded to...

00:22:40.220 Rachel's tearful video...

00:22:42.000 He said...

00:22:43.280 The abuse...

00:22:44.360 That Rachel and other journalists... 0.93

00:22:45.880 Have received...

00:22:46.520 In particular women... 1.00

00:22:48.020 And people of color...

00:22:48.980 Is heinous...

00:22:49.780 And unacceptable...

00:22:50.740 We'll continue working...

00:22:51.800 With journalists...

00:22:53.000 Media organizations...

00:22:54.420 Canadian Association of Journalists...

00:22:55.780 And law enforcement...

00:22:56.660 To address this issue...

00:22:57.940 And keep everyone safe...

00:23:00.660 Almost like they set...

00:23:02.320 That whole thing up...

00:23:04.660 Look...

00:23:05.380 If reporters are receiving...

00:23:06.660 Real death threats...

00:23:08.020 They should be investigated...

00:23:09.840 And we know that they are...

00:23:11.620 Rachel Gilmour showed us...

00:23:12.700 An email from the Ottawa Police...

00:23:13.960 To that effect...

00:23:15.080 I want those investigations...

00:23:16.560 To happen...

00:23:17.080 I think I want them to happen...

00:23:18.280 More than Rachel Gilmour does... 0.99

00:23:19.300 Because I want to know...

00:23:20.660 If these rude emailers...

00:23:22.560 Are actually...

00:23:24.000 Left-wing agents...

00:23:25.220 Provocateurs...

00:23:26.280 You know...

00:23:27.040 Bernie Farber...

00:23:28.300 Of the so-called...

00:23:29.260 Canadian Anti-Hate Network...

00:23:31.200 Remember...

00:23:31.680 He falsely claimed...

00:23:33.080 That a particular racist pamphlet...

00:23:34.600 Was being handed out...

00:23:35.380 In Ottawa by truckers...

00:23:36.660 When in fact...

00:23:37.580 It was a photo...

00:23:38.800 From Florida...

00:23:39.800 He was a wicked liar...

00:23:41.180 Smearing the truckers...

00:23:42.400 He was the racist one...

00:23:44.040 Circulating the document...

00:23:45.200 Or another...

00:23:46.260 Canadian Anti-Hate Network...

00:23:48.080 Creep...

00:23:48.960 Richard Warman...

00:23:50.260 I don't know if you remember this...

00:23:52.120 But Warman literally joined...

00:23:54.400 A Nazi group called Stormfront...

00:23:57.000 And he posted...

00:23:57.960 Hundreds of anti-Semitic...

00:23:59.400 And anti-Black...

00:24:00.460 And anti-gay comments online...

00:24:02.320 While pretending...

00:24:03.580 To be a right-winger...

00:24:04.400 I want to know...

00:24:07.620 Who wrote the rude emails...

00:24:09.080 To Rachel Gilmore...

00:24:10.620 Was it Bernie Farber...

00:24:12.380 Or Richard Warman...

00:24:13.320 Or someone else...

00:24:14.460 Getting funded by the...

00:24:15.800 Liberal government...

00:24:16.620 But I also want to know...

00:24:19.300 Why Rachel Gilmore... 1.00

00:24:20.300 Is such a liar...

00:24:21.620 And doesn't she realize...

00:24:23.620 That when she falsely cries wolf...

00:24:25.620 She's putting actual women... 1.00

00:24:27.140 Who are actually threatened...

00:24:28.620 In jeopardy...

00:24:29.280 Because people won't believe them...

00:24:30.620 When a wolf finally comes around...

00:24:34.220 Why does Rachel Gilmore... 1.00

00:24:35.380 Claim that a second-hand report...

00:24:36.840 Of a Mary Screw Kill joke... 0.52

00:24:38.300 Half a con in a way...

00:24:39.340 Is a real death threat?

00:24:41.420 Why does Rachel Gilmore... 1.00

00:24:42.540 Believe Global News...

00:24:43.640 Is full of secret...

00:24:44.900 Sleeper agents...

00:24:46.740 Reporters...

00:24:47.720 Who falsely...

00:24:49.120 Join Global News...

00:24:50.160 Just to stalk her today... 1.00

00:24:51.420 And have been waiting...

00:24:52.660 Since 2019 to pounce...

00:24:54.800 And why would she say such things... 0.69

00:24:56.820 In weeping tears...

00:24:58.440 For Global News?

00:25:00.620 And why would someone...

00:25:02.340 Who hates...

00:25:03.340 Rude strangers...

00:25:05.340 Leave her direct messages...

00:25:07.140 Open for anyone to pop in...

00:25:08.980 And be rude...

00:25:10.340 Unless she...

00:25:12.600 Secretly gets some weird...

00:25:14.220 Thrill out of it...

00:25:16.340 Well because that's her brand... 1.00

00:25:19.140 Rachel Gilmore...

00:25:20.660 By her own description... 0.98

00:25:22.020 Is a privileged...

00:25:23.340 White... 0.98

00:25:24.260 Pumpkin spice latte girl... 0.89

00:25:26.960 Who gets to hang out...

00:25:27.920 With the head of the CBC...

00:25:29.300 The head of Global News...

00:25:30.900 And even a liberal...

00:25:32.020 Cabinet minister...

00:25:32.820 She's part of the elite... 0.99

00:25:35.020 Even though her chief...

00:25:36.140 Contribution to journalism...

00:25:38.020 Is making TikTok videos...

00:25:39.620 In low-cut shirts...

00:25:41.140 For teenage boys...

00:25:43.020 Rachel Gilmore...

00:25:44.020 Hates conservatives...

00:25:45.140 And she hates when people...

00:25:47.020 Don't applaud her...

00:25:48.520 She... 1.00

00:25:49.020 Wants the police...

00:25:50.480 To arrest her political enemies...

00:25:52.380 Or...

00:25:52.700 At least censor them...

00:25:54.900 Rachel Gilmore...

00:25:57.220 Is the girl who cried...

00:25:58.420 Wolf...

00:25:59.420 Don't you believe...

00:26:00.620 Her fake tears...

00:26:01.620 Stay with us for more...

00:26:04.620 Pound for pound...

00:26:17.220 What is the best...

00:26:18.340 Journalistic organization...

00:26:20.060 In the United States of America...

00:26:21.600 A lot of people like Fox News...

00:26:23.260 And there are sort of...

00:26:24.140 Mini Fox Newses...

00:26:25.420 Whether it's...

00:26:26.220 One America News...

00:26:27.340 Or Newsmax...

00:26:28.540 But in terms of...

00:26:30.300 Making a lot of results...

00:26:33.380 With a small team...

00:26:34.760 And a small budget...

00:26:35.840 No one comes close...

00:26:37.800 To our friends...

00:26:38.740 At Project Veritas...

00:26:40.500 They really just...

00:26:42.060 Put microphones...

00:26:44.060 To leftists...

00:26:44.980 And progressives...

00:26:45.980 And liberals...

00:26:46.780 And Democrats...

00:26:47.940 Typically...

00:26:49.460 In a hidden camera situation...

00:26:51.540 When those people...

00:26:52.320 Are being candid...

00:26:53.860 And they've done...

00:26:55.040 A tremendous amount of work...

00:26:56.500 They would have had...

00:26:57.280 A Pulitzer Prize...

00:26:58.320 By now...

00:26:59.120 If they weren't...

00:27:00.540 Conservative...

00:27:01.280 Well...

00:27:01.860 Project Veritas...

00:27:03.440 Has done it again...

00:27:04.660 I want to play for you...

00:27:05.860 A short video...

00:27:06.740 That they recently released...

00:27:08.180 And then we'll talk to...

00:27:08.980 R.C. Maxwell...

00:27:09.960 Their spokesperson...

00:27:10.860 All about it...

00:27:11.480 Take a look at this...

00:27:12.280 And we'll come right back...

00:27:13.700 ¿Cómo no tenemos...

00:27:14.900 Para trabajar ilegal aquí?

00:27:16.760 Claro...

00:27:17.440 ¿Quién te dio...

00:27:18.140 ¿Cómo conseguiste los papeles?

00:27:21.460 Un papelito que se saca...

00:27:22.920 Como para aplicar los trabajos...

00:27:24.440 Sí, sí, sí...

00:27:25.280 Tienes que tener...

00:27:26.040 Un seguro social, ¿no?

00:27:27.260 Ajá, sí, el seguro...

00:27:28.060 Ajá, ¿y cómo lo conseguiste?

00:27:30.220 Pues se le llamó a una persona...

00:27:31.640 Y él le vienes...

00:27:32.340 ¿Cuánto cobró?

00:27:34.720 150.

00:27:35.260 Anyone who is recruiting...

00:27:39.300 And transporting minors...

00:27:41.720 For the purpose of labor...

00:27:44.640 That is trafficking...

00:27:46.020 That is a federal offense...

00:27:47.640 Our undercover journalists...

00:27:48.880 Traveled to Florida...

00:27:50.180 There, they met...

00:27:51.140 20-year-old Frander...

00:27:53.180 Who admitted to paying...

00:27:54.560 For his sponsor...

00:27:55.460 $50,000...

00:27:56.620 And never having lived...

00:28:02.840 At his sponsor's address...

00:28:04.260 You said a direction...

00:28:05.920 But you never went to that direction...

00:28:07.680 No went to that direction...

00:28:08.680 You never went to Gregorio...

00:28:11.060 No, no...

00:28:11.840 We met a 15-year-old girl...

00:28:13.060 In Houston...

00:28:13.760 And told us...

00:28:14.300 She had to drop out of school...

00:28:15.760 To work long hours...

00:28:16.840 In a restaurant kitchen...

00:28:18.340 Because she owes money... 0.90

00:28:19.560 To the cartels...

00:28:20.840 Who was recruiting the children...

00:28:36.220 How many were in this particular ring...

00:28:38.800 So sometimes...

00:28:39.800 It requires a lot of investigations...

00:28:41.840 So if it's labor trafficking...

00:28:43.540 They would be following those vans...

00:28:45.020 To where they were taking...

00:28:46.000 The children to work...

00:28:47.500 So in other words...

00:28:48.140 Project Veritas...

00:28:49.160 Probably has to go out...

00:28:50.140 To do the HHS...

00:28:52.260 Office of the Inspector General's...

00:28:53.440 Job for them... 0.88

00:28:54.980 Are you working too?

00:28:56.380 Yes.

00:28:56.880 And where do you work?

00:28:58.180 Where do you work?

00:28:59.100 Where do you work?

00:29:00.100 Where do you work?

00:29:01.100 Where do you work?

00:29:02.100 Where do you work?

00:29:03.100 Where do you work?

00:29:04.100 Where do you work?

00:29:05.100 Where do you work?

00:29:06.100 Where do you work?

00:29:07.100 Wow.

00:29:08.100 How long have you been here?

00:29:09.100 Two months.

00:29:10.100 Allowing these kinds of businesses...

00:29:12.100 To thrive...

00:29:13.100 Because of this labor trafficking...

00:29:15.100 It's cruel and exploitative...

00:29:17.100 And it's creating conditions...

00:29:20.100 It's really of slavery again...

00:29:21.840 In our country.

00:29:22.400 I don't understand why anybody...

00:29:24.400 Would want to move a child quickly...

00:29:27.700 As opposed to vetting that the place...

00:29:29.480 That the child is going is safe.

00:29:32.220 Incredible.

00:29:33.080 They really are trafficking children.

00:29:35.300 And these are not women being trafficked... 1.00

00:29:38.440 For purposes of sexual exploitation...

00:29:41.060 But of course that happens too.

00:29:42.740 That lady there, Tara Lee Rodas... 1.00

00:29:44.340 Was the whistleblower.

00:29:46.040 It's amazing to see Project Veritas...

00:29:48.040 Using Spanish language...

00:29:49.740 Undercover reporters.

00:29:51.700 Kids.

00:29:52.800 Well let's talk to R.C. Maxwell...

00:29:55.100 A spokesperson for Project Veritas...

00:29:56.720 To learn more about the story.

00:29:58.240 Wow.

00:29:58.620 This is terrifying.

00:29:59.900 And that southern border...

00:30:01.360 Is basically open.

00:30:03.320 Now tell us...

00:30:05.180 One of those kids...

00:30:06.080 17 years old...

00:30:06.840 Just arrived in the last month.

00:30:08.600 Help me understand the connection, R.C.

00:30:10.480 Between these kids...

00:30:11.900 And the U.S. government.

00:30:13.040 Because the U.S. government...

00:30:15.560 Knows about these kids, right?

00:30:18.240 You are correct.

00:30:19.360 And if I can explain...

00:30:20.400 Your audience...

00:30:21.180 You guys may remember...

00:30:22.860 During the Trump administration...

00:30:24.700 There was lots of discussion...

00:30:26.020 About pausing...

00:30:27.820 Some of these minors...

00:30:28.900 Coming into the country... 0.97

00:30:30.540 Not letting them...

00:30:32.320 Essentially...

00:30:33.500 Unite with the people...

00:30:35.020 Who brought them over.

00:30:36.600 Trump called a lot of these individuals...

00:30:38.640 Coyotes.

00:30:39.480 That caused a lot of...

00:30:40.940 Controversy.

00:30:41.980 Enter the Biden administration...

00:30:43.040 Who took over...

00:30:44.160 Border policy.

00:30:45.600 And there was a directive...

00:30:47.440 Through HHS...

00:30:49.240 Which was...

00:30:49.820 Field Directive 10...

00:30:51.220 Which preferred speed...

00:30:53.140 Over...

00:30:54.100 Vetting...

00:30:54.880 In terms of...

00:30:55.660 Family unification.

00:30:57.860 That seemed like a good thing.

00:30:59.600 It was applauded...

00:31:00.320 By migrant organizations...

00:31:01.900 And it was touted...

00:31:03.100 By the government officials...

00:31:04.240 Themselves.

00:31:05.560 Fast forward to now...

00:31:07.220 Project Veritas...

00:31:08.280 We were approached...

00:31:09.140 By a whistleblower...

00:31:10.420 Who actually let us know...

00:31:12.280 She signed up to volunteer...

00:31:13.880 To reunite these kids...

00:31:15.440 With their family members...

00:31:17.060 She said that...

00:31:18.220 There were suspicious flags...

00:31:19.600 On many of these sponsors...

00:31:21.680 Many of these sponsors...

00:31:22.720 Don't actually have to be a U.S. citizen.

00:31:25.080 They don't need...

00:31:25.660 A traditional identification...

00:31:27.120 To pick up these kids...

00:31:28.180 And we were...

00:31:30.840 We essentially...

00:31:31.840 Now had to...

00:31:32.720 Essentially do...

00:31:33.340 Shoe leather journalism...

00:31:35.340 And confirm this information...

00:31:37.100 That these people...

00:31:38.000 Who were sponsors...

00:31:39.280 Were flagged for good reasons...

00:31:40.920 And it turns out...

00:31:41.660 That they were...

00:31:42.620 We...

00:31:43.360 Our journalists...

00:31:43.940 Hit the ground in Texas...

00:31:45.080 And in Florida...

00:31:46.060 And we found out...

00:31:47.000 That many of these kids...

00:31:47.900 Were labor trafficked...

00:31:49.120 Many of these kids...

00:31:49.860 Were not in school...

00:31:51.020 Many of these kids...

00:31:51.840 Were in deplorable conditions...

00:31:53.180 And all of this...

00:31:55.100 Is the result of...

00:31:56.320 Field Guidance 10...

00:31:57.740 Which put these kids...

00:31:58.740 In situations that were...

00:31:59.940 Questionable...

00:32:01.060 And unfortunately...

00:32:01.980 They are subjected to...

00:32:03.420 Not only labor abuse...

00:32:04.680 But also sexual abuse...

00:32:06.100 Huh...

00:32:06.540 You know...

00:32:07.380 The crazy thing here is...

00:32:09.280 It was in the name of...

00:32:10.500 Reunifying children...

00:32:11.960 With their families...

00:32:13.280 But what your investigation suggests...

00:32:15.820 Is that they're not their families...

00:32:17.060 These are gangs...

00:32:18.160 These are traffickers...

00:32:19.640 These are...

00:32:20.480 As that whistleblower...

00:32:22.300 Terrell E. Rhoda suggested...

00:32:23.840 A modern form...

00:32:25.120 Of indentured servitude...

00:32:26.580 Really...

00:32:27.420 So it's almost like...

00:32:29.360 They're being placed...

00:32:30.380 In harm's way...

00:32:31.320 Positively by the government...

00:32:32.460 Am I getting that wrong?

00:32:33.340 That they...

00:32:34.340 That they...

00:32:35.080 In the name of reuniting...

00:32:36.480 These kids with family...

00:32:37.740 They've actually put them...

00:32:38.900 With the bad guys...

00:32:40.340 Correct...

00:32:41.020 Your audience may be wondering...

00:32:42.160 We've heard of...

00:32:43.060 Human trafficking before...

00:32:44.320 We know there are issues...

00:32:45.280 With the southern border...

00:32:46.340 What's new here?

00:32:48.160 Well the issue here...

00:32:49.400 Is that...

00:32:50.160 Since this policy has changed...

00:32:52.020 Under field guidance 10...

00:32:53.600 Taxpayer dollars...

00:32:55.100 Are being used...

00:32:56.620 Not only to house...

00:32:58.140 These miners...

00:32:59.500 But at some points in time...

00:33:00.880 To ship them...

00:33:01.540 From one facility to another...

00:33:03.240 So they can be picked up...

00:33:04.300 By their sponsor...

00:33:05.640 Who...

00:33:06.140 As we have just uncovered...

00:33:07.680 In many instances...

00:33:08.900 Are human traffickers...

00:33:10.300 So the federal government...

00:33:11.800 Is playing a role...

00:33:12.860 In transporting these people over...

00:33:15.140 Shocking...

00:33:16.040 But what's more shocking...

00:33:17.160 Is that the government...

00:33:17.920 Is very aware...

00:33:19.680 Tower...

00:33:20.160 Our whistleblower...

00:33:21.080 Tara...

00:33:21.520 She's a very brave woman...

00:33:23.100 She's been screaming this... 0.99

00:33:24.180 From the mountaintops...

00:33:25.180 At the places she's worked...

00:33:26.420 Within the government...

00:33:27.540 She had to come to Project Veritas...

00:33:29.740 Because not only would no one else...

00:33:31.380 Kind of corroborate this information...

00:33:33.520 But no one else...

00:33:34.280 Were willing to listen...

00:33:35.620 In fact...

00:33:36.040 One horrible soundbite...

00:33:37.640 She got from an attorney...

00:33:39.080 Within the government...

00:33:40.240 Was that these traffickers...

00:33:41.560 Aren't suing us...

00:33:42.760 So it's easier...

00:33:43.740 To deal almost with them...

00:33:45.600 As opposed to the system...

00:33:47.840 That President Trump...

00:33:48.700 Was having a tough time dealing with...

00:33:50.320 Which was the media firestorm...

00:33:52.600 Over separating kids at the border...

00:33:54.820 Huh...

00:33:55.220 So these were the kids...

00:33:56.800 That Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez... 0.94

00:33:58.520 Cried about...

00:33:59.740 When they were in cages...

00:34:01.540 So they've been let out of the...

00:34:03.380 Detention facilities...

00:34:04.640 And put right in the hands...

00:34:05.440 Of the traffickers...

00:34:06.280 Let me ask you this...

00:34:07.000 I am completely unsurprised...

00:34:09.400 That Tara Lee Rodas says...

00:34:11.020 No one in the government cared...

00:34:12.380 Here's a question...

00:34:13.120 Now that the story's out there...

00:34:14.260 And you guys are closely watched...

00:34:16.460 By the other side...

00:34:17.840 By other media...

00:34:18.720 By the Democrats...

00:34:19.640 Because they know you're effective...

00:34:21.960 Has there been any...

00:34:24.120 Mainstream media...

00:34:25.080 Liberal media...

00:34:25.860 Centrist media...

00:34:26.740 Legacy media...

00:34:27.780 Coverage of this story...

00:34:29.240 I mean I've seen coverage of it...

00:34:30.600 On Fox News...

00:34:31.920 And obviously it's popular...

00:34:33.620 On social media...

00:34:34.920 But I'm going to guess...

00:34:36.200 And tell me if I'm wrong...

00:34:38.200 That places like...

00:34:39.140 The Washington Post...

00:34:39.840 The New York Times...

00:34:40.980 Either ignore it...

00:34:43.120 Or downplay it...

00:34:45.060 And say well yeah this is...

00:34:46.380 I mean because I don't even think...

00:34:47.740 That they deny this is happening...

00:34:49.340 They just don't want to talk about it...

00:34:50.680 Because they're sort of cool with this...

00:34:53.080 Of course Ezra...

00:34:53.940 As you know people in the corporate media...

00:34:55.880 Are just as fake...

00:34:57.060 As the smiles...

00:34:58.420 And the makeup that they wear...

00:35:00.060 During their broadcasts...

00:35:01.680 They want to share...

00:35:02.900 Human trafficking awareness day...

00:35:05.000 On their media...

00:35:06.000 Social media channels...

00:35:07.260 But they would never cover a story...

00:35:09.060 About actual human trafficking...

00:35:11.340 Number one...

00:35:12.020 Because it's been uncovered...

00:35:13.340 By an organization like Project Veritas...

00:35:15.960 That they detest...

00:35:17.560 Because we reveal...

00:35:18.760 How sinister...

00:35:19.900 The motives in corporate media...

00:35:21.280 Actually are...

00:35:22.320 But number two...

00:35:23.560 Because particularly...

00:35:24.640 This story implicates the government...

00:35:26.600 And as we know...

00:35:27.780 The government and the media...

00:35:29.100 Have a symbiotic relationship...

00:35:30.820 One hand washes the other...

00:35:32.560 One hand legitimizes the other...

00:35:34.960 So the victims in this story...

00:35:37.380 Maria...

00:35:38.460 Their story...

00:35:40.000 And hopefully...

00:35:41.180 A positive end on this story...

00:35:43.260 Is in sight...

00:35:44.140 We've seen letters from senators...

00:35:46.180 And I can tell you Ezra...

00:35:47.360 I guarantee...

00:35:48.180 Law enforcement agencies...

00:35:49.520 Are all over this story...

00:35:51.260 We've had inquiries from all sides...

00:35:53.580 But most importantly...

00:35:55.060 It seems like members of government...

00:35:57.140 At the highest levels...

00:35:58.180 Are going to have to answer to this...

00:35:59.840 As you know...

00:36:00.620 Subpoena power in the United States...

00:36:02.340 Is about to flip...

00:36:03.540 With the other party...

00:36:05.820 The opposition party...

00:36:06.760 Now taking control...

00:36:08.500 Which means...

00:36:09.160 They are going to investigate...

00:36:10.620 Certain practices...

00:36:11.660 Including field guidance 10...

00:36:13.560 They're going to want to see...

00:36:14.340 All the receipts...

00:36:15.540 And it's going to be interesting to see...

00:36:17.140 If the government will become...

00:36:18.760 Transparent on this issue...

00:36:20.260 Or if we're going to see...

00:36:21.600 Partisan politics unfold...

00:36:23.480 Wow...

00:36:23.840 Very interesting...

00:36:24.640 R.C. Maxwell...

00:36:25.540 Thanks for telling us this story...

00:36:26.780 Give our best regards...

00:36:27.660 To the whole team...

00:36:28.540 At Project Veritas...

00:36:29.480 We admire James O'Keefe...

00:36:30.860 The founder...

00:36:31.620 And we know you guys fight hard...

00:36:33.260 You fight hard in the court of law...

00:36:34.620 Also...

00:36:35.180 Everyone's trying to...

00:36:36.140 Put you down...

00:36:36.760 But you have a...

00:36:37.820 Pretty successful track record...

00:36:39.340 I mean...

00:36:40.020 Fact is...

00:36:40.900 Project Veritas gets it right...

00:36:42.820 And you've done it again...

00:36:44.040 So congratulations...

00:36:45.060 Thanks for your time today...

00:36:46.600 Thank you...

00:36:47.200 All right...

00:36:47.520 There you have it...

00:36:47.880 R.C. Maxwell...

00:36:48.520 Go to ProjectVeritas.com...

00:36:50.260 To see more...

00:36:51.000 Stay with us...

00:36:51.560 More ahead...

00:36:59.480 Hey, welcome back...

00:37:04.540 I'm going to read some longer letters...

00:37:06.440 Let's see how many I can get through...

00:37:07.400 Here's one from Alina Novak...

00:37:09.040 Hi Ezra...

00:37:09.860 Could you have a show about Pierre Paglia please...

00:37:11.860 It would be best if you could interview him...

00:37:13.580 But if not...

00:37:14.100 Then just a monologue from you is fine...

00:37:15.940 I do have some concerns...

00:37:17.180 I went to conservative.ca to see what his platform is...

00:37:19.840 But I do not see much...

00:37:21.040 Is it because PP is planning on being flexible?

00:37:23.820 Max Bernier has it all laid out on his website...

00:37:26.040 I think that he believes in the climate warming scam...

00:37:28.540 He also did not say that he was going to decrease immigration...

00:37:31.360 There are way too many new people coming in...

00:37:33.260 Considering the current situation...

00:37:34.940 No jobs, housing or healthcare...

00:37:36.660 Also he should address the woke... 1.00

00:37:38.380 What I mean is all that woke crap starts in schools...

00:37:41.020 All the way from kindergarten to universities...

00:37:42.800 The unions are woke too...

00:37:44.140 You were probably aware of the pamphlet...

00:37:45.760 That was distributed in schools...

00:37:47.260 I've looked at it before...

00:37:48.360 And it's full of hate...

00:37:49.280 Prejudices...

00:37:49.920 Divisiveness...

00:37:50.980 The Canadian Anti-Hate Network...

00:37:52.340 Should be looked at as well...

00:37:53.800 I'm not sure if PP is up for that...

00:37:56.020 If PP does not nip woke in the bud...

00:37:58.540 Then it will be getting only worse and worse...

00:38:00.560 And it does start with the schools...

00:38:02.640 The brainwashing starts there...

00:38:04.060 And then it spreads everywhere like a cancer...

00:38:05.840 I do not understand why the conservative leaders...

00:38:07.820 Do not understand the importance of that...

00:38:09.780 I should tell you I did reach out to Pierre Polyev...

00:38:12.180 Asking for an interview...

00:38:13.920 Either for myself or anyone else...

00:38:15.600 At Rebel News...

00:38:16.080 And I have not heard back...

00:38:17.620 That said...

00:38:18.560 He's not doing a lot of interviews...

00:38:20.400 I saw him doing a sit-down...

00:38:22.040 With our friend Andrew Lawton at True North...

00:38:23.740 So I know he does a few...

00:38:25.460 Maybe he's afraid of Rebel News...

00:38:27.480 Although I have to say...

00:38:28.840 He does allow us in all his events...

00:38:31.000 And if we come up to him with a microphone...

00:38:33.360 He doesn't run away or hide...

00:38:34.340 He does answer the question...

00:38:35.720 I think he's just a little leery...

00:38:38.160 As to global warming...

00:38:40.480 Which was one of the issues you mentioned...

00:38:41.660 I think he is an opponent of the carbon tax...

00:38:44.940 And I don't think that he is in league with the green things...

00:38:48.720 About wokeness...

00:38:49.840 I don't think he's really made cultural issues his strong suit...

00:38:53.540 He really was a finance critic for a while...

00:38:55.380 And I think he's very strong on that...

00:38:56.780 As to immigration...

00:38:57.740 I don't think I've heard him comment on Trudeau's new half a million immigrants a year quota...

00:39:04.060 The last two conservative party leaders were afraid of anything to do with the immigration file...

00:39:09.440 They basically said whatever Trudeau says is fine by us...

00:39:12.480 So I agree with you...

00:39:13.740 If you want to raise wages and decrease the cost of housing...

00:39:17.420 Immigration is the most effective dial to manipulate... 1.00

00:39:21.480 I'll read one more letter from Wayne Curry...

00:39:22.940 He says...

00:39:23.180 Hi Ezra...

00:39:24.520 I was disappointed not to see Louis Brackwell's name on the list of candidates...

00:39:28.480 I assume he must have left...

00:39:29.960 I don't use Twitter or Facebook...

00:39:31.260 So info on his departure may have been noted on one of those sites...

00:39:34.300 While I'm at it...

00:39:35.180 He once had an Ask Ezra anything special one Christmas season...

00:39:38.820 It flew like a black balloon...

00:39:40.380 As no one seemed curious about the rebel commander...

00:39:42.500 But viewers enjoyed themselves nonetheless...

00:39:44.620 Many are probably curious about the lives of your reporters...

00:39:46.860 But you wisely protect them personally as well as privately...

00:39:49.660 However, I am curious about one thing...

00:39:51.380 You were engaging in a humorous rant recently by teasing Williams...

00:39:54.500 As he sat with Selene at the EA Inquiry...

00:39:57.500 But another unknown reporter who was wearing purple...

00:40:00.100 You joshed about 18-year-old William...

00:40:02.680 Tracking down this mysterious reporter for his reviews...

00:40:05.300 Is William really only 18?

00:40:06.440 He seems so mature...

00:40:07.580 P.S.

00:40:07.840 Most rebels doubtless feel guilty about casting their vote...

00:40:10.760 All candidates are so amazing...

00:40:12.920 That's a great letter...

00:40:13.700 Thanks very much...

00:40:14.740 Louis Brackpool did leave us on friendly terms...

00:40:18.940 You know, over the years...

00:40:20.680 We've probably had 50 journalists...

00:40:23.020 Pass through our halls...

00:40:24.140 Some have gone on to great things...

00:40:25.400 Some have gone on to non-journalistic things...

00:40:28.060 Some have gone on to political things...

00:40:30.020 You know, I'd like to think that most of our alumni are on good terms with us...

00:40:35.600 But, you know, sometimes it does...

00:40:36.620 Louis, I think, did great work for us...

00:40:38.660 My favorite work by Louis was when he was at the Davos World Economic Forum meeting...

00:40:42.820 When he went to cover the Boer Uprising...

00:40:45.160 It is true that William Diaz-Berthiome is of the tender age of 18...

00:40:48.700 He actually joined us when he was 17, unbeknownst to me...

00:40:51.820 But he certainly does have great maturity...

00:40:54.780 I do not know who the lady in purple was... 0.99

00:40:56.920 I never found out, but she was not a rebel...

00:40:58.700 Let me just end by saying...

00:41:02.080 We are bringing back that Ask the Rebels Anything Christmas special...

00:41:06.740 So it's funny you say that we're going to announce that in a day or so...

00:41:09.800 We've got a special website we're going to put up for that...

00:41:12.960 And I will answer pretty much most questions, even personal questions.

00:41:17.680 There are a few private things I probably wouldn't answer.

00:41:20.100 But I don't think I'm afraid of any question.

00:41:22.860 And if you want to ask me some personal questions, feel free.

00:41:25.340 We will have a website up for that.

00:41:29.120 I can't remember the URL right now.

00:41:31.600 I don't think the website's up right now.

00:41:33.520 But if you pay attention in the next week or so...

00:41:35.900 We will have the Ask Ezra Anything website up and running.

00:41:38.940 That's our show for today.

00:41:40.280 Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters...

00:41:42.940 We'll see you at home.

00:41:43.500 Good night.

00:41:44.280 And keep fighting for freedom.
