00:02:29.280 beat a democrat to become the lieutenant governor of the commonwealth of virginia they say lieutenant

00:02:34.120 we say lieutenant um and she's so amazing it'll explain why the media party has deliberately ignored

00:02:47.800 statewide office in virginia history by the way all right here's the video take a look stay with it

00:03:11.760 i am here

00:03:15.920 yes

00:03:18.160 yes

00:03:18.320 yes

00:03:20.440 yes

00:03:22.480 Marine Corps

00:03:23.240 motivated

00:03:26.320 dedicated

00:03:27.220 so

00:03:30.000 i'm here because of you

00:03:33.380 i'm here because you

00:03:35.400 voted for me

00:03:36.800 i'm here because you put your trust in me

00:03:39.940 that's the only reason i'm here

00:03:42.320 thank you

00:03:44.060 thank you

00:03:45.800 got my speech

00:03:52.240 want to introduce to you my husband terrence

00:03:58.920 he's another marine

00:04:06.400 my daughter kasha

00:04:11.960 and my other daughter janelle

00:04:16.840 i'm telling you that what you are looking at

00:04:25.840 is the american dream

00:04:32.280 the american dream

00:04:36.280 when my father came to this country

00:04:38.960 august 11th of 1963

00:04:42.280 he came at the height of the civil rights movement from jamaica

00:04:47.280 he came and i said to him but it was such a bad time for us why did you come and he said

00:04:53.440 because america was where the jobs and the opportunities were

00:04:57.720 and he only came with a dollar seventy five

00:05:08.160 one dollar and seventy five cents

00:05:10.880 took any job he could find and he put himself through school and started his american dream

00:05:17.160 and then yes

00:05:18.600 and now he's comfortably retired

00:05:23.600 and then he came and got me when i was six years old and when i stepped on that pan am

00:05:30.040 going 737 and landed at jfk i landed in a new world

00:05:40.480 and so let me tell you this

00:05:47.480 i am not even first generation american

00:05:51.920 when i joined the marine corps i was still a jamaican

00:05:55.840 but this country had done so much for me i was willing willing to die for this country

00:06:09.920 and so i say to you

00:06:24.920 victory indeed

00:06:28.680 but i say to you

00:06:31.400 there are some who want to divide us and we must not let that happen

00:06:36.880 they would like us to believe we are back in 1963 when my father came

00:06:43.780 we can live where we want we can eat where we want

00:06:48.660 we own the water fountains

00:06:50.880 we have had a black president elected not once but twice

00:06:55.820 and here i am living proof 0.85

00:06:58.900 in case you haven't noticed i am black and i have been black all my life

00:07:19.900 but that's not what this is about

00:07:26.900 what we are going to do

00:07:34.900 is we are going to now be about the business of the commonwealth

00:07:40.900 we have things to tend to

00:07:44.800 we are going to fully fund our historically black colleges and universities

00:07:53.900 you're going to hear from your governor-elect

00:07:57.900 Glenn Yonkin

00:08:00.900 and he's got a day one plan

00:08:03.900 that i'm already tired about

00:08:07.800 don't know how we're going to make it to day two

00:08:12.100 but he's going to make sure we keep more of our money in our pockets because he's going to get rid of

00:08:17.800 all kinds of taxes

00:08:21.600 we're going to have safer neighborhoods

00:08:24.600 safer communities

00:08:26.600 and our children are going to get a good education

00:08:37.600 because education lifted my father out of poverty education lifted me out of poverty

00:08:43.600 education will lift us all out of poverty because we

00:08:47.600 we must have marketable skills so that our children cannot just survive

00:08:53.600 but they will thrive

00:08:55.600 and they will create generational wealth

00:08:58.600 that's what this is about

00:09:07.600 i'm going to finish up

00:09:09.600 we love you too

00:09:15.600 it's a historic night yes it is but i didn't run to make history i just wanted to leave it better than i found it

00:09:22.600 and with your help we're going to do that we're going to have transparent government

00:09:29.600 and as i used to say as we were on the trail hold on virginia help is on the way the cavalry has arrived

00:09:40.600 thank you god bless you

00:09:50.600 and finally

00:09:52.600 i want to thank my staff because i couldn't have done it without them we were a ragtag bunch of people

00:10:08.600 we ran

00:10:10.600 we ran an impossible

00:10:12.600 improbable campaign

00:10:14.600 against

00:10:15.600 god was exactly with us

00:10:18.600 otherwise we would never have made it

00:10:20.600 and so i want to finish up by

00:10:22.600 thanking you jesus

00:10:24.600 how sweet it is

00:10:26.600 well isn't she amazing you can see why the media party hasn't shown you a glimpse of her

00:10:36.600 if she were a democrat you would already know her name 0.91

00:10:39.600 and they'd be talking about her as a future presidential candidate 1.00

00:10:44.600 some democrats were circulating pictures of her with firearms 0.61

00:10:48.600 i think they thought that would hurt her electoral chances

00:10:52.600 not sure if that's true in virginia

00:10:54.600 not sure if that's true with any veteran of the marines

00:10:58.600 as winsome sears is

00:11:00.600 i know many canadians might not like the look of someone with a gun

00:11:04.600 and cnn reporters might not

00:11:06.600 but i find it a sign of strength and confidence and self-determination and the absolute opposite of victimhood

00:11:14.600 victims don't carry a gun like that 1.00

00:11:16.600 and i think that's an important thing

00:11:18.600 you heard her talk about not dividing people

00:11:21.600 and she made a quick reference to historically black colleges that the republicans had pledged to fund

00:11:28.600 but other than that

00:11:30.600 there really wasn't a lot of racial talk in her speech 0.59

00:11:33.600 even though she just made history

00:11:35.600 because she is not in the vein of a grievance monger

00:11:39.600 a complainer a victim

00:11:41.600 someone blaming others

00:11:42.600 you heard her

00:11:43.600 her dad came from jamaica

00:11:45.600 with a buck seventy five

00:11:47.600 he brought the rest of the family over later

00:11:49.600 winsome joined the marines

00:11:51.600 in america before she was even a u.s. citizen

00:11:53.600 strength

00:11:54.600 loyalty

00:11:55.600 patriotism

00:11:56.600 hard work

00:11:57.600 merit

00:11:58.600 and look at her now 0.99

00:11:59.600 lieutenant governor

00:12:00.600 why should she talk about grievance

00:12:03.600 and i tell you this because incredibly race

00:12:05.600 and how children in virginia are taught about race

00:12:09.600 and about other things like transgenderism

00:12:11.600 was a big reason why winsome

00:12:14.600 and the new governor of virginia glenn youngkin

00:12:17.600 beat the huge democratic machine

00:12:19.600 the media machine

00:12:21.600 the biden machine

00:12:22.600 and won a state that just exactly ten years ago today

00:12:25.600 went for biden by a ten percent margin over trump

00:12:28.600 how do you turn a blue state

00:12:31.600 that was turning more and more blue

00:12:33.600 that's the color of the democrats

00:12:35.600 how do you turn that republican in just one year

00:12:38.600 well ann coulter had a theory that i like

00:12:42.600 a lot of people have been working from home this past year

00:12:46.600 and their kids have been schooling from home via zoom

00:12:50.600 on their computer

00:12:51.600 so and this is ann coulter's theory

00:12:53.600 a lot of dads

00:12:55.600 were home

00:12:56.600 and happened to see

00:12:58.600 what their kids are learning in school

00:13:00.600 from their laptops on zoom

00:13:02.600 or whatever app they were using

00:13:04.600 moms always sort of know 0.99

00:13:06.600 but even moms 0.91

00:13:07.600 weren't there in the classes

00:13:09.600 as you could be on zoom

00:13:10.600 now both mom and dad

00:13:11.600 could see what was being taught to their kids

00:13:14.600 and moms and dads

00:13:15.600 would have opinions about

00:13:16.600 spelling and history

00:13:17.600 and geography and math

00:13:19.600 I don't know if those are even still being taught

00:13:21.600 I don't know

00:13:23.600 but they would

00:13:24.600 actually see

00:13:25.600 critical race theory being taught

00:13:28.600 which is another way of saying

00:13:29.600 teaching young people

00:13:31.600 that the world is racist

00:13:32.600 America is racist 1.00

00:13:34.600 Virginia is racist 1.00

00:13:35.600 and that the children themselves and their families are racist 0.99

00:13:39.600 the most shocking stories

00:13:41.600 the insane hateful lessons

00:13:43.600 which are actually propaganda

00:13:45.600 shocking stuff

00:13:46.600 not just in Virginia

00:13:47.600 but across America

00:13:48.600 and in Canada too

00:13:49.600 and by the way

00:13:50.600 some of the most fierce opponents

00:13:52.600 of critical race theory

00:13:53.600 are other racial minorities

00:13:55.600 Asra Nomani

00:13:57.600 a Muslim woman immigrant

00:13:58.600 is just an outstanding example

00:14:01.600 she is a new American

00:14:03.600 who doesn't want that racial 0.98

00:14:05.600 grievance being taught to her kids 0.97

00:14:07.600 she's been a star on this

00:14:09.600 she's just a quick clip of her

00:14:10.600 I came before you in June 2020

00:14:13.600 I spoke to you during quarantine

00:14:17.600 I pled with you at that time

00:14:21.600 because I said to you that we had activists

00:14:25.600 from Thomas Jefferson High School

00:14:28.600 for Science and Technology

00:14:29.600 where my son

00:14:30.600 is a senior

00:14:31.600 and that they had just

00:14:33.600 debated

00:14:36.600 the idea

00:14:38.600 of an Occupy TJ movement

00:14:41.600 I sent a note

00:14:43.600 to every single one of you

00:14:44.600 and I got not a single response

00:14:46.600 there was no concern

00:14:48.600 about our students at that time

00:14:51.600 and then

00:14:53.600 the summer proceeded

00:14:54.600 and the principal

00:14:56.600 at our high school

00:14:57.600 told us

00:14:58.600 that our mostly minority students

00:15:00.600 and parents

00:15:01.600 had to check their privileges

00:15:03.600 and then

00:15:04.600 as the summer continued

00:15:06.600 Dr. Brabrand

00:15:07.600 you decided

00:15:08.600 that our students

00:15:09.600 and our families

00:15:11.600 were spending thousands

00:15:12.600 and thousands of dollars

00:15:13.600 on test prep

00:15:15.600 and then

00:15:16.600 you Melanie Maron

00:15:17.600 told us

00:15:18.600 that we were toxic

00:15:19.600 and then

00:15:20.600 Karen Keys-Gamara

00:15:21.600 promoted the idea

00:15:22.600 that we were racist

00:15:23.600 and then

00:15:24.600 by the fall

00:15:25.600 every single one of you

00:15:26.600 voted to remove

00:15:28.600 the merit-based

00:15:29.600 race-blind

00:15:30.600 admissions test

00:15:31.600 to TJ

00:15:32.600 and we pled with you

00:15:33.600 as Asians

00:15:34.600 as an immigrant

00:15:35.600 I came at the age of four

00:15:37.600 I knew no English

00:15:38.600 and you didn't listen to us

00:15:40.600 and now I sit here

00:15:42.600 listening to this

00:15:43.600 empty proclamations

00:15:45.600 and declarations

00:15:46.600 that you're making

00:15:47.600 about your great value

00:15:48.600 of Asian Americans

00:15:50.600 you tell us about

00:15:51.600 you going Melanie Maron

00:15:52.600 to a Japanese restaurant

00:15:54.600 well do you know

00:15:55.600 that just a few weeks ago

00:15:57.600 in social emotional learning

00:15:59.600 at TJ

00:16:00.600 our students were told

00:16:02.600 that if they do

00:16:03.600 salsa dancing

00:16:04.600 it amounts to

00:16:05.600 cultural appropriation

00:16:06.600 and that they needed

00:16:08.600 to check their racism

00:16:09.600 and that is our

00:16:10.600 mostly minority

00:16:11.600 mostly minority

00:16:12.600 mostly Asian students

00:16:14.600 and so your empty

00:16:15.600 proclamations

00:16:16.600 are just that

00:16:17.600 and then today

00:16:18.600 we get this vacuous survey

00:16:20.600 from you Dr. Brabrand

00:16:22.600 and you dare to tell us

00:16:24.600 that you're going to

00:16:25.600 consider removing

00:16:26.600 the one policy

00:16:28.600 that parents have

00:16:29.600 to defend their students

00:16:31.600 from indoctrination

00:16:33.600 and activism

00:16:34.600 the policy

00:16:35.600 that makes certain

00:16:37.600 that anything taught

00:16:38.600 in our school

00:16:39.600 that is controversial

00:16:41.600 must be presented

00:16:42.600 fairly

00:16:43.600 you have to just

00:16:44.600 think for yourself

00:16:45.600 if you have to

00:16:46.600 remove a policy

00:16:47.600 like that

00:16:48.600 how can you possibly

00:16:49.600 be doing anything good

00:16:50.600 and then this survey

00:16:52.600 it's just a loaded survey

00:16:54.600 and who is it by

00:16:56.600 indeed

00:16:57.600 New York Leadership Academy

00:16:59.600 and what has that survey done

00:17:02.600 they've asked us the questions

00:17:04.600 for the contract

00:17:05.600 thank you for your time

00:17:06.600 that you have now signed

00:17:08.600 thank you for your time

00:17:09.600 that will allow them

00:17:10.600 thank you for your time

00:17:13.600 you all need to have conscience

00:17:14.600 your time is up ma'am

00:17:15.600 your time has expired

00:17:18.600 yes your time has expired

00:17:21.600 your time has expired

00:17:22.600 next speaker

00:17:23.600 continue to shut us down

00:17:24.600 next speaker

00:17:25.600 because that's what you love

00:17:26.600 please go to your seat

00:17:28.600 most Americans don't want 0.97

00:17:30.600 critical race theory

00:17:31.600 you know the left

00:17:32.600 the teachers unions

00:17:33.600 they love racism

00:17:34.600 they cook it up

00:17:35.600 they cook up weird ideas

00:17:37.600 they don't say Latino

00:17:39.600 or Hispanic 0.77

00:17:40.600 they say Latinx

00:17:42.600 what?

00:17:43.600 no one says that

00:17:44.600 no actual Latinos say that

00:17:46.600 most don't even know

00:17:48.600 what that means

00:17:49.600 other than they're

00:17:50.600 being told that

00:17:51.600 they should be angry

00:17:52.600 or should play the victim

00:17:54.600 or something

00:17:55.600 you heard

00:17:56.600 Winsome Sears

00:17:57.600 she said

00:17:58.600 no thanks

00:17:59.600 and so did

00:18:00.600 so many other parents

00:18:01.600 of Virginia

00:18:02.600 and then the former

00:18:03.600 democratic governor

00:18:04.600 of Virginia

00:18:05.600 Terry McAuliffe

00:18:06.600 who was running again

00:18:07.600 to be governor

00:18:08.600 well he knows

00:18:09.600 who his supporters

00:18:11.600 and donors are

00:18:12.600 the teachers unions

00:18:13.600 and so he knew

00:18:14.600 who he sided with

00:18:16.600 again and again

00:18:17.600 he just said it

00:18:19.600 he said parents

00:18:20.600 have no role

00:18:21.600 in determining

00:18:22.600 what their own kids 0.90

00:18:23.600 get taught

00:18:24.600 he said it

00:18:25.600 out loud

00:18:26.600 including in a TV debate

00:18:28.600 I'm not going to let

00:18:29.600 parents come into schools

00:18:30.600 and actually take books out

00:18:32.600 and make their own decision

00:18:33.600 you vetoed it

00:18:35.600 so

00:18:36.600 yeah I've

00:18:37.600 stopped the bill

00:18:38.600 that I don't think parents

00:18:39.600 should be telling schools

00:18:40.600 what they should teach

00:18:41.600 you know

00:18:42.600 he said it again and again 1.00

00:18:43.600 parents are either stupid 1.00

00:18:45.600 or racist 1.00

00:18:46.600 or evil

00:18:47.600 or simply ought to be

00:18:48.600 kept out of their own

00:18:49.600 kids affairs

00:18:51.600 critical race theory

00:18:52.600 is not taught in Virginia

00:18:53.600 it has never been taught

00:18:54.600 it is a racist

00:18:56.600 dog whistle

00:18:57.600 and I'm really tired of it

00:18:58.600 but if we don't have

00:18:59.600 a definition

00:19:00.600 how can we say it's racist

00:19:01.600 I just want a definition

00:19:02.600 from you

00:19:03.600 it's not taught here

00:19:04.600 in Virginia

00:19:05.600 we can ask about any topic

00:19:06.600 here's what I've said

00:19:07.600 all along

00:19:08.600 and it really bothers me

00:19:09.600 you know

00:19:10.600 it really bothers me

00:19:12.600 this whole idea

00:19:13.600 of stirring parents up

00:19:14.600 to create divisions

00:19:15.600 our children are going

00:19:16.600 through such challenges

00:19:17.600 today because of COVID

00:19:19.600 and we're talking about

00:19:20.600 something here today

00:19:21.600 wasting precious viewers time

00:19:24.600 and at this same time

00:19:25.600 as parents were getting

00:19:26.600 outraged at critical race

00:19:27.600 they were being force fed

00:19:28.600 to their students

00:19:30.600 another troubling trend

00:19:31.600 synchronized with it

00:19:33.600 in Loudoun County

00:19:35.600 a teenage girl 0.60

00:19:36.600 was raped 0.98

00:19:39.600 by a boy 0.98

00:19:40.600 wearing a skirt

00:19:41.600 who went into the

00:19:42.600 women's only 1.00

00:19:43.600 change room

00:19:44.600 and the school

00:19:45.600 covered it up

00:19:47.600 because he didn't want

00:19:48.600 to undermine their

00:19:49.600 transgenderism policy 0.99

00:19:51.600 a girl was raped 0.99

00:19:54.600 and that dad's 0.79

00:19:55.600 that girl's dad

00:19:57.600 went to ask school

00:19:58.600 officials about it

00:19:59.600 and they lied to him

00:20:01.600 and said it never happened

00:20:03.600 and shockingly

00:20:05.600 incredibly

00:20:06.600 police arrested

00:20:07.600 that dad

00:20:09.600 the raped girl's father

00:20:11.600 police arrested

00:20:12.600 the girl's father

00:20:14.600 the girl who had been

00:20:15.600 raped 0.80

00:20:16.600 the father trying to 0.98

00:20:17.600 not even to get justice

00:20:18.600 just trying to find out

00:20:19.600 the truth

00:20:20.600 well you heard

00:20:22.600 McAuliffe

00:20:23.600 it's none of parents'

00:20:24.600 business

00:20:25.600 what happens in schools

00:20:27.600 you got to be racist

00:20:28.600 to want to find out 0.97

00:20:30.600 or transphobic

00:20:31.600 critical race theory

00:20:34.600 plus transgender

00:20:35.600 extremism 0.85

00:20:36.600 all made Virginians

00:20:37.600 say

00:20:38.600 what are you

00:20:39.600 what are you doing

00:20:40.600 to our children

00:20:41.600 and suddenly a state

00:20:42.600 that was plus 10

00:20:43.600 for Biden

00:20:44.600 went Republican

00:20:45.600 last night

00:20:46.600 but not without

00:20:47.600 the media trying

00:20:48.600 to stop the Republicans

00:20:50.600 by calling them racist

00:20:51.600 of course

00:20:52.600 that's quite something

00:20:55.600 given that the outgoing

00:20:56.600 governor Ralph Northam

00:20:57.600 a Democrat 0.98

00:20:58.600 actually is a racist 0.96

00:20:59.600 he actually dressed up 0.96

00:21:00.600 in blackface

00:21:01.600 or a clown outfit

00:21:02.600 or maybe both

00:21:03.600 I can't quite

00:21:04.600 figure it out

00:21:05.600 he admitted it

00:21:06.600 but he refused to

00:21:07.600 step down

00:21:08.600 I mean why would he

00:21:09.600 Trudeau went full

00:21:10.600 blackface again 1.00

00:21:11.600 and again

00:21:12.600 and he didn't step down

00:21:14.600 but for them to call

00:21:15.600 anyone else racist

00:21:16.600 that's quite something

00:21:18.600 so funny things

00:21:19.600 started happening

00:21:20.600 just in the last few days

00:21:21.600 like this group of

00:21:22.600 young people

00:21:23.600 dressed up as alt-right

00:21:24.600 tiki torch burning

00:21:25.600 racist 0.95

00:21:26.600 they showed up

00:21:27.600 at a Republican

00:21:28.600 campaign event

00:21:29.600 except there was

00:21:30.600 something off

00:21:31.600 about it

00:21:32.600 do you see that

00:21:33.600 one guy dressed up

00:21:34.600 as an alt-right

00:21:35.600 racist

00:21:36.600 do you notice that 1.00

00:21:37.600 he's black 0.94

00:21:39.600 that's weird 0.98

00:21:40.600 isn't it

00:21:41.600 yeah they weren't

00:21:43.600 Republican

00:21:44.600 it was a hoax

00:21:45.600 they were young

00:21:46.600 Democrats trying

00:21:47.600 to perpetrate

00:21:48.600 a hoax to make it

00:21:49.600 look like Republicans 0.54

00:21:50.600 were racist

00:21:51.600 it was reported

00:21:52.600 as a Republican

00:21:53.600 racist act

00:21:54.600 until all the individuals

00:21:57.600 there were identified

00:21:58.600 as registered

00:21:59.600 Republican

00:22:00.600 Democrats

00:22:01.600 excuse me

00:22:02.600 so that added

00:22:03.600 another level

00:22:04.600 too

00:22:05.600 not only did it prove

00:22:06.600 that the racist

00:22:07.600 accusation against

00:22:08.600 the Republicans

00:22:09.600 was false

00:22:10.600 it was a hoax

00:22:11.600 it also showed

00:22:12.600 that the Democrats

00:22:13.600 and the media

00:22:14.600 had no compunction

00:22:15.600 about using

00:22:16.600 a false accusation

00:22:18.600 of racism

00:22:19.600 to score points

00:22:20.600 to manipulate

00:22:21.600 it's another way

00:22:23.600 of saying

00:22:24.600 they don't really

00:22:25.600 care about racism

00:22:26.600 other than their

00:22:27.600 ability to use racism 0.97

00:22:28.600 to scare black people 1.00

00:22:29.600 or liberal white people 0.98

00:22:30.600 into voting

00:22:31.600 Democrat

00:22:32.600 they don't actually

00:22:33.600 care about racism

00:22:34.600 they like it

00:22:35.600 they use it

00:22:36.600 well Virginians saw

00:22:37.600 through it

00:22:38.600 fighting wokeism

00:22:39.600 both racial and

00:22:40.600 transgender

00:22:41.600 fighting media smears

00:22:42.600 people went Republican

00:22:44.600 amazing

00:22:45.600 and incredibly

00:22:47.600 in New Jersey

00:22:48.600 which went

00:22:49.600 plus 16%

00:22:51.600 for Biden

00:22:52.600 a year ago

00:22:53.600 the Democrat

00:22:54.600 just squeaked

00:22:55.600 by its

00:22:56.600 less than a percent

00:22:57.600 difference

00:22:58.600 I think there might

00:22:59.600 be a recount

00:23:00.600 I don't know

00:23:01.600 it's so close

00:23:02.600 I think the Dems

00:23:03.600 are going to win it

00:23:04.600 because it's within

00:23:05.600 the margin of lawyer

00:23:06.600 but still total shock

00:23:07.600 no one saw it coming

00:23:08.600 same issues

00:23:09.600 a little bit less insane

00:23:10.600 than Terry McAuliffe

00:23:11.600 critical race theory

00:23:12.600 transgenderism

00:23:13.600 school choice

00:23:14.600 nothing as sharp

00:23:15.600 as a governor

00:23:16.600 attacking parents

00:23:17.600 and a rape cover-up

00:23:18.600 but the same issues

00:23:19.600 and oh my god

00:23:20.600 is it close

00:23:21.600 and add

00:23:22.600 to all that

00:23:23.600 Joe Biden

00:23:24.600 the walking disaster

00:23:26.600 inflation

00:23:27.600 America

00:23:28.600 failing overseas

00:23:29.600 extreme

00:23:30.600 COVID

00:23:31.600 mandates

00:23:32.600 Democrats

00:23:33.600 are properly

00:23:34.600 terrified

00:23:35.600 of what happened

00:23:36.600 last night

00:23:37.600 if Republicans

00:23:38.600 can win states

00:23:39.600 that went deep

00:23:40.600 blue in 2020

00:23:42.600 what's going to happen

00:23:43.600 12 months from now

00:23:44.600 in the midterm elections

00:23:46.600 when all of Congress

00:23:47.600 is up for grabs

00:23:48.600 and a third

00:23:49.600 of the Senate

00:23:50.600 the House and the Senate

00:23:51.600 will go back

00:23:52.600 to Republican control

00:23:53.600 if things stay

00:23:54.600 the way they are

00:23:55.600 and then comes 2024

00:23:57.600 it's not too far away

00:23:59.600 who will be the

00:24:00.600 Democrat presidential

00:24:01.600 candidate

00:24:02.600 unthinkable

00:24:03.600 unthinkable

00:24:04.600 that Joe Biden

00:24:05.600 will be that man

00:24:06.600 he falls asleep

00:24:07.600 in meetings

00:24:08.600 almost every day

00:24:09.600 he mumbles

00:24:10.600 and mangles

00:24:11.600 his speeches

00:24:12.600 what's this all about?

00:24:13.600 no little expression

00:24:14.600 time is money

00:24:15.600 as one computer said

00:24:17.600 if you're on the train

00:24:18.600 and they say

00:24:19.600 portal bridge

00:24:20.600 you know

00:24:21.600 you better make

00:24:22.600 other plans

00:24:23.600 yeah I don't get it

00:24:24.600 he takes entire

00:24:25.600 days off

00:24:26.600 he's ineffectual

00:24:27.600 China and Russia 0.57

00:24:28.600 laugh at him

00:24:29.600 there was a report

00:24:30.600 the other day

00:24:31.600 and I'm sorry to say it

00:24:32.600 that he pooped his pants

00:24:33.600 at the Vatican

00:24:34.600 I don't know

00:24:35.600 if it was confirmed

00:24:36.600 but the fact that

00:24:37.600 hundreds of thousands

00:24:38.600 of people believe that

00:24:39.600 and recirculated that

00:24:41.600 shows that that's not

00:24:43.600 that's sort of how

00:24:44.600 he comes across

00:24:45.600 sorry to use the word poop

00:24:47.600 anyways

00:24:48.600 yeah imagine him in

00:24:49.600 three more years

00:24:50.600 I don't want to be mean

00:24:51.600 but I'm not even sure

00:24:53.600 if he's going to be alive

00:24:54.600 then he turns 79

00:24:55.600 this month

00:24:56.600 I don't think he's doing

00:24:57.600 very well

00:24:58.600 I think his wife

00:24:59.600 should come and get him

00:25:00.600 so who's going to run

00:25:02.600 for the Democrats

00:25:03.600 in 2024

00:25:04.600 Kamala Harris

00:25:05.600 this woman

00:25:07.600 I just love the idea

00:25:09.600 of exploring the unknown

00:25:12.600 and then there's other things

00:25:13.600 that we just haven't figured out

00:25:15.600 or discovered yet

00:25:16.600 to think about so much

00:25:17.600 that's out there

00:25:18.600 that we still have to learn

00:25:20.600 like I love that

00:25:22.600 I love that

00:25:23.600 and so I'm very excited

00:25:24.600 about the Space Council

00:25:25.600 we're going to learn so much

00:25:27.600 as we increasingly I think

00:25:29.600 are curious

00:25:30.600 and interested

00:25:31.600 in the potential

00:25:32.600 for the discoveries

00:25:34.600 and the work we can do

00:25:35.600 in space

00:25:36.600 so that's one of the things

00:25:38.600 I'm most excited about

00:25:39.600 but the other

00:25:40.600 you guys are going to see

00:25:42.600 you're going to literally

00:25:44.600 see the craters on the moon

00:25:46.600 with your own eyes

00:25:48.600 with your own eyes

00:25:50.600 I'm telling you

00:25:51.600 it is going to be

00:25:52.600 unbelievable

00:25:53.600 that was so cringeworthy

00:25:56.600 even weirder

00:25:57.600 it turned out

00:25:58.600 that those were

00:25:59.600 child actors

00:26:00.600 that she hired

00:26:01.600 to participate

00:26:02.600 I saw the news

00:26:04.600 that Kamala Harris

00:26:05.600 recorded a message

00:26:06.600 that was played

00:26:07.600 in black Virginia churches

00:26:08.600 on the eve of the election

00:26:10.600 telling people to vote

00:26:11.600 for the Democrats

00:26:12.600 for McAuliffe

00:26:13.600 that's probably illegal

00:26:14.600 under IRS rules

00:26:15.600 I'm not an expert

00:26:16.600 but do you really think

00:26:17.600 someone so awfully fake

00:26:19.600 so inauthentic

00:26:20.600 so cringe

00:26:22.600 actually move people

00:26:24.600 over to vote

00:26:25.600 for McAuliffe

00:26:26.600 I say

00:26:27.600 have Kamala Harris

00:26:28.600 on TV every single day

00:26:29.600 and you'll win

00:26:30.600 a Republican supermajority

00:26:31.600 so it's a miracle

00:26:32.600 it's a proof

00:26:34.600 that there's life

00:26:35.600 after Trump

00:26:36.600 in fact

00:26:37.600 removing the drama

00:26:38.600 and the quirks

00:26:39.600 of Trump

00:26:40.600 I love Trump

00:26:41.600 but removing the stuff

00:26:43.600 that people could focus on

00:26:45.600 and be negative about

00:26:46.600 and keeping the good stuff

00:26:47.600 the Trumpy policies

00:26:49.600 what a winning combination

00:26:52.600 that was

00:26:53.600 and that wokeism

00:26:56.600 is death of the ballot box

00:26:58.600 even in blue states

00:26:59.600 no wonder Biden

00:27:00.600 took today off work

00:27:02.600 every Democrat who won

00:27:04.600 by less than 10%

00:27:06.600 in the last election

00:27:07.600 ought to be very worried

00:27:09.600 everyone pushing extreme

00:27:11.600 left-wing policies

00:27:12.600 from overspending

00:27:14.600 and borrowing

00:27:15.600 to COVID rules

00:27:16.600 to racial theory

00:27:18.600 they should be worried

00:27:19.600 about what's coming

00:27:21.600 but frankly

00:27:22.600 I hope they won't be worried

00:27:23.600 I believe it was only

00:27:24.600 when voters saw

00:27:25.600 how crazy 0.95

00:27:26.600 the Democrats 0.96

00:27:27.600 had become 0.98

00:27:28.600 how crazy

00:27:29.600 the schools had become

00:27:30.600 how they are

00:27:31.600 the Democrats are truly

00:27:32.600 the party of

00:27:33.600 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

00:27:34.600 and Ilhan Omar

00:27:35.600 it was only then

00:27:36.600 when they saw the truth

00:27:37.600 that they recoiled

00:27:38.600 and voted Republican

00:27:39.600 I can hardly wait

00:27:40.600 for the pendulum

00:27:41.600 to swing back further

00:27:43.600 and I can hardly wait

00:27:44.600 to see what Winsome Sears

00:27:47.600 does next

00:27:48.600 how about you?

00:27:49.600 boy I'm jealous though

00:27:51.600 this shows that

00:27:52.600 if you give voters

00:27:53.600 a clear conservative

00:27:54.600 reasonable alternative

00:27:56.600 if you talk about things

00:27:57.600 people care about

00:27:59.600 they didn't talk about

00:28:00.600 global warming

00:28:01.600 or carbon taxes

00:28:02.600 they talked about

00:28:03.600 kids in schools

00:28:04.600 if you give people

00:28:05.600 a real alternative

00:28:06.600 they'll take it

00:28:08.600 wouldn't it be nice

00:28:09.600 if one of our own 1.00

00:28:10.600 cowardly Canadian 1.00

00:28:12.600 conservative parties 1.00

00:28:13.600 up here

00:28:15.600 ever tried that

00:28:17.600 stay with us for more

00:28:20.600 well one of our favorite

00:28:34.600 guys to ask about

00:28:35.600 US politics

00:28:36.600 is our friend Joel Pollack

00:28:38.600 senior editor at large

00:28:40.600 breitbart.com

00:28:42.600 who I would regard

00:28:43.600 as an expert

00:28:44.600 on the Democratic Party

00:28:46.600 even though he himself

00:28:47.600 I think

00:28:48.600 is a Republican

00:28:49.600 joining us now

00:28:50.600 via Skype

00:28:51.600 is Joel

00:28:52.600 great to see you

00:28:53.600 I have to tell you Joel

00:28:54.600 the last few times

00:28:55.600 you and I have spoken

00:28:56.600 I have come away

00:28:57.600 from our conversations

00:28:58.600 very depressed

00:28:59.600 we've been focused on

00:29:00.600 those who led

00:29:01.600 the definition

00:29:03.600 of the Democratic Party

00:29:04.600 in the last year

00:29:05.600 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

00:29:07.600 Ilhan Omar

00:29:08.600 and really

00:29:09.600 the extreme

00:29:10.600 left-wing policies

00:29:11.600 last night

00:29:13.600 felt like

00:29:14.600 a tremendous

00:29:15.600 repudiation

00:29:16.600 of those policies

00:29:17.600 by two states

00:29:19.600 that were heavily

00:29:20.600 for Biden

00:29:21.600 a year ago

00:29:22.600 I have hope

00:29:23.600 in me

00:29:24.600 real hope

00:29:25.600 for the first time

00:29:26.600 in a year

00:29:27.600 how do you feel

00:29:28.600 about it all?

00:29:29.600 well you're absolutely correct

00:29:31.600 I think the

00:29:32.600 off-year election results

00:29:34.600 the 2021 elections

00:29:36.600 have possibly

00:29:37.600 put a ceiling

00:29:38.600 on the rise

00:29:39.600 of democratic socialism

00:29:41.600 in the United States

00:29:42.600 and it's not just

00:29:43.600 New Jersey and Virginia

00:29:44.600 look at some of the other

00:29:45.600 races around the country

00:29:46.600 in Minneapolis

00:29:47.600 voters overwhelmingly

00:29:49.600 rejected a proposal

00:29:50.600 to abolish

00:29:51.600 the municipal police department

00:29:53.600 and replace them

00:29:54.600 with a department

00:29:55.600 of public safety

00:29:56.600 whatever that means

00:29:57.600 in New York State

00:29:58.600 voters also

00:30:00.600 rejected

00:30:01.600 Democrat

00:30:02.600 voting

00:30:03.600 reforms

00:30:04.600 like same-day

00:30:05.600 voter registration

00:30:06.600 the voters supported

00:30:07.600 ballot integrity

00:30:08.600 voter integrity

00:30:09.600 and

00:30:10.600 so on down the line

00:30:11.600 my favorite

00:30:12.600 election result

00:30:13.600 is that

00:30:14.600 a truck driver

00:30:15.600 who happens to

00:30:16.600 have conservative

00:30:17.600 views

00:30:18.600 and only spent

00:30:19.600 $153

00:30:20.600 on his campaign

00:30:21.600 much of it on donuts

00:30:22.600 I'm not kidding

00:30:23.600 he actually spent money

00:30:24.600 at Dunkin Donuts

00:30:25.600 to feed people

00:30:26.600 for his event

00:30:27.600 whatever he had

00:30:28.600 this guy

00:30:29.600 seems to have

00:30:30.600 knocked off the New Jersey

00:30:31.600 state senate president

00:30:32.600 in Buffalo

00:30:34.600 of all places

00:30:35.600 there was a socialist

00:30:37.600 who won the democratic primary

00:30:38.600 and she lost

00:30:39.600 she was defeated

00:30:40.600 by the incumbent mayor

00:30:41.600 who launched a write-in campaign

00:30:43.600 to save his

00:30:45.600 mayoral tenure

00:30:46.600 after he lost the primary

00:30:48.600 and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

00:30:50.600 who you mentioned earlier

00:30:51.600 she campaigned

00:30:52.600 for the socialist

00:30:53.600 and the socialist has lost

00:30:54.600 so I do think

00:30:56.600 that what's happened

00:30:57.600 is there's been

00:30:58.600 a huge backlash

00:30:59.600 from the electorate

00:31:00.600 against Joe

00:31:01.600 Biden's policies

00:31:02.600 and against the far left

00:31:03.600 woke policies

00:31:04.600 of the so-called

00:31:06.600 progressives

00:31:07.600 and I do think

00:31:08.600 that that's going

00:31:09.600 to trigger a civil war

00:31:10.600 inside the democratic party

00:31:11.600 you're gonna have

00:31:12.600 the moderates

00:31:13.600 saying

00:31:14.600 we told you so

00:31:15.600 you guys did not pass

00:31:16.600 the infrastructure deal

00:31:17.600 you held out

00:31:18.600 for massive

00:31:19.600 social spending

00:31:20.600 etc.

00:31:21.600 and as a result

00:31:23.600 we had nothing

00:31:24.600 to show the voters

00:31:25.600 the left is going to say

00:31:26.600 no no no

00:31:27.600 because the moderates

00:31:28.600 wouldn't pass

00:31:29.600 the spending bill

00:31:30.600 that our base

00:31:31.600 didn't get energized

00:31:32.600 that the left wing base

00:31:33.600 didn't turn out

00:31:34.600 so there's gonna be a fight

00:31:35.600 this is definitely

00:31:36.600 a victory

00:31:37.600 against woke progressivism

00:31:38.600 but it's not

00:31:39.600 so sweeping

00:31:40.600 and so consequential

00:31:41.600 that the left is going

00:31:42.600 to just give up

00:31:43.600 and go home

00:31:44.600 so I think what we are

00:31:45.600 going to see

00:31:46.600 over the next few months

00:31:47.600 is intensifying civil war

00:31:48.600 within the democratic party

00:31:49.600 and the casualty

00:31:50.600 of that civil war

00:31:51.600 might be Joe Biden himself

00:31:52.600 I don't know

00:31:53.600 if the party

00:31:54.600 has any use

00:31:55.600 for his presidency anymore

00:31:56.600 and he may be pushed out

00:31:57.600 possibly after his first year

00:31:59.600 in office

00:32:00.600 well that's incredible

00:32:02.600 I mean I was trying

00:32:03.600 to figure it out

00:32:04.600 because I am skeptical

00:32:06.600 that Joe Biden

00:32:07.600 is the real decider

00:32:08.600 you know

00:32:09.600 Donald Trump

00:32:10.600 was undermined

00:32:11.600 sometimes

00:32:12.600 by his own appointees

00:32:14.600 I think there's

00:32:15.600 credible evidence

00:32:16.600 there really was

00:32:17.600 a deep state

00:32:18.600 against him

00:32:20.600 in various departments

00:32:21.600 but no one would doubt

00:32:22.600 for a second

00:32:23.600 that Trump

00:32:24.600 was the decider

00:32:25.600 that he was immersed

00:32:26.600 in the details

00:32:27.600 I simply

00:32:29.600 don't believe

00:32:30.600 that Joe Biden

00:32:31.600 knows the details

00:32:33.600 let alone the headlines

00:32:35.600 of the key files

00:32:37.600 so you know

00:32:39.600 he has been a mouthpiece

00:32:40.600 for the policies

00:32:42.600 but I don't know

00:32:43.600 where they've come from

00:32:44.600 is it the chief of staff

00:32:46.600 Ron Klain I think

00:32:47.600 I think is his name

00:32:48.600 is that

00:32:49.600 is he anything more

00:32:50.600 than an air traffic controller

00:32:51.600 I don't even know

00:32:52.600 where the center

00:32:53.600 of the White House is

00:32:54.600 who's the boss

00:32:55.600 of the White House

00:32:56.600 do you know the answer

00:32:57.600 to that

00:32:58.600 I mean I sound like

00:32:59.600 I'm asking out of the blue

00:33:00.600 but was it a repudiation

00:33:01.600 of the White House too

00:33:02.600 I think it was

00:33:05.600 and you're right

00:33:06.600 there's an ambivalence

00:33:07.600 in Biden's policies

00:33:08.600 to some voters

00:33:09.600 he presented himself

00:33:10.600 as the moderate

00:33:11.600 the guy who could hold

00:33:12.600 the socialists in check

00:33:14.600 but to his own party

00:33:16.600 he promised fundamental change

00:33:17.600 revolutionary

00:33:18.600 institutional change

00:33:19.600 he started talking

00:33:20.600 like Bernie Sanders

00:33:21.600 and in fact

00:33:22.600 this big spending bill

00:33:23.600 they're still fighting over

00:33:24.600 was written by Bernie Sanders

00:33:25.600 in the Senate

00:33:26.600 Sanders chairs

00:33:27.600 the budget committee

00:33:28.600 so he wrote that

00:33:29.600 finance bill

00:33:30.600 and Biden then later

00:33:32.600 tacked his own brand

00:33:33.600 onto it

00:33:34.600 the build back better

00:33:35.600 slogan

00:33:36.600 so Biden in some ways

00:33:38.600 is being run by the left

00:33:39.600 the problem with that

00:33:40.600 the problem with that

00:33:41.600 is that at least to a significant

00:33:42.600 chunk of the electorate

00:33:44.600 Biden offered himself 0.79

00:33:45.600 as the only guy

00:33:47.600 who could hold the left

00:33:48.600 in check

00:33:49.600 he hasn't done that

00:33:50.600 he has not governed

00:33:51.600 in a moderate direction

00:33:52.600 at all

00:33:53.600 now usually Democrats

00:33:54.600 get away with that

00:33:55.600 by blaming Republicans

00:33:56.600 and they say

00:33:57.600 well I would have moderated

00:33:58.600 but the Republicans

00:33:59.600 are so intransigent

00:34:01.600 that was the approach

00:34:02.600 Obama used

00:34:03.600 but it's very hard

00:34:04.600 to say that now

00:34:05.600 especially for example

00:34:06.600 with the infrastructure bill

00:34:07.600 when 19 Republicans

00:34:08.600 in the Senate voted for it

00:34:09.600 giving it at least

00:34:10.600 a veneer of bipartisanship

00:34:11.600 so Biden can't blame

00:34:13.600 the Republicans anymore

00:34:14.600 and this election result

00:34:16.600 was the outcome

00:34:18.600 of voters understanding

00:34:20.600 who was to blame

00:34:22.600 for their problems

00:34:23.600 and having nothing

00:34:24.600 to thank Joe Biden

00:34:25.600 for having done

00:34:26.600 again no infrastructure bill

00:34:27.600 the disasters pull out

00:34:28.600 from Afghanistan

00:34:29.600 high inflation

00:34:30.600 no end in sight

00:34:31.600 to that problem

00:34:32.600 and also there's a backlash

00:34:34.600 against the rigorous

00:34:36.600 and draconian policies

00:34:38.600 the coronavirus shutdowns

00:34:39.600 in some of these blue states

00:34:40.600 parents are super angry

00:34:42.600 at teachers unions

00:34:43.600 for forcing the schools

00:34:44.600 to close

00:34:45.600 for forcing onerous mask mandates

00:34:46.600 vaccine mandates

00:34:47.600 and parents have also

00:34:48.600 been watching their children

00:34:49.600 on Zoom lessons

00:34:50.600 at Zoom school

00:34:51.600 and so forth

00:34:52.600 over the last 18 months

00:34:53.600 and many of their kids

00:34:54.600 are back at school now

00:34:55.600 but the brief experience

00:34:56.600 of watching their kids

00:34:57.600 in school

00:34:58.600 enlightened many parents

00:35:00.600 about what the school districts

00:35:02.600 were forcing their kids

00:35:03.600 to learn

00:35:04.600 and that's one of the reasons

00:35:05.600 for the backlash

00:35:06.600 against critical race theory

00:35:07.600 and transgenderism

00:35:08.600 and so on

00:35:09.600 so there is a real backlash

00:35:11.600 against Democrats assumption

00:35:13.600 that the state knows best

00:35:14.600 that the school board

00:35:15.600 knows best

00:35:16.600 and that the end users

00:35:17.600 of public services

00:35:18.600 should be grateful

00:35:19.600 for whatever crumbs

00:35:20.600 the government throws to them

00:35:21.600 yeah I think a lot

00:35:22.600 of the blame goes to

00:35:23.600 as you said

00:35:24.600 people seeing the Democrats

00:35:25.600 for who they really are

00:35:27.600 the wokeism in school

00:35:28.600 the transgenderism

00:35:29.600 the critical race theory

00:35:30.600 the teachers unions

00:35:32.600 and I think McAuliffe

00:35:33.600 said some things

00:35:34.600 so bluntly

00:35:35.600 they couldn't be ignored

00:35:36.600 but I you know

00:35:38.600 let's talk about

00:35:39.600 the Republican side

00:35:40.600 so we've been talking

00:35:41.600 about the failures

00:35:42.600 of the Democrats

00:35:43.600 and some people say

00:35:44.600 no one actually wins

00:35:45.600 an election

00:35:46.600 it's the other side

00:35:47.600 that loses it

00:35:48.600 I don't know

00:35:49.600 if that's always true

00:35:50.600 I think the Republicans

00:35:51.600 were pretty disciplined

00:35:52.600 and it makes me think

00:35:54.600 I mean I was affectionate

00:35:55.600 towards Donald Trump

00:35:56.600 because I liked the guy

00:35:57.600 I thought he was

00:35:58.600 you know

00:36:00.600 I thought he was courageous

00:36:01.600 I thought it was entertaining

00:36:02.600 and funny

00:36:03.600 I thought he was bold

00:36:04.600 and you can't deny

00:36:05.600 he got things done

00:36:07.600 I think of the

00:36:09.600 the Abraham Accords 0.74

00:36:10.600 for example

00:36:11.600 which is truly

00:36:12.600 a masterpiece

00:36:13.600 but what I see

00:36:14.600 in Virginia

00:36:16.600 and elsewhere

00:36:17.600 is that if you can have

00:36:18.600 Trumpism

00:36:19.600 without Trump

00:36:21.600 if you can have

00:36:22.600 the fighting spirit

00:36:23.600 and conservative policies

00:36:24.600 and the courage

00:36:25.600 but without some

00:36:26.600 of the foibles

00:36:27.600 or the quirks

00:36:28.600 or the eccentricities

00:36:29.600 of the man himself

00:36:31.600 maybe you can win

00:36:32.600 would you say

00:36:33.600 that that applies here

00:36:34.600 that you had

00:36:35.600 a strong conservative

00:36:37.600 candidate

00:36:38.600 just without

00:36:39.600 some of the flaws

00:36:40.600 of Trump

00:36:41.600 is there any

00:36:42.600 does that hold any water

00:36:43.600 that theory?

00:36:45.600 It does

00:36:46.600 and I think the answer

00:36:47.600 is we don't know yet

00:36:49.600 you're right

00:36:50.600 that this was a victory

00:36:51.600 for Trumpism

00:36:52.600 without Trump

00:36:53.600 that Trump's policies

00:36:54.600 his success

00:36:55.600 really set a new standard

00:36:56.600 for American politics

00:36:57.600 Americans look at

00:36:58.600 the Biden administration

00:36:59.600 and at Democratic governors

00:37:00.600 and say

00:37:01.600 hey we just had a guy

00:37:02.600 in there for four years

00:37:03.600 who offended everybody

00:37:04.600 but he got a lot of stuff done

00:37:05.600 there's no way

00:37:06.600 that there would have been

00:37:07.600 a cargo crisis

00:37:08.600 a supply chain crisis

00:37:10.600 with Donald Trump in charge

00:37:11.600 there's no way

00:37:12.600 that China would be

00:37:13.600 humiliating us

00:37:14.600 on the world stage

00:37:15.600 if Donald Trump

00:37:16.600 was in charge

00:37:17.600 so people understand

00:37:18.600 Trump has set a new bar

00:37:19.600 for government service

00:37:20.600 and for government performance

00:37:22.600 Trump ran it like a business

00:37:23.600 you have to satisfy

00:37:24.600 the customer

00:37:25.600 people are used to that now

00:37:26.600 they're completely fed up

00:37:28.600 with Biden's non-performance

00:37:29.600 but then again

00:37:30.600 you don't have the man himself

00:37:31.600 now that may have made

00:37:33.600 a lot more suburban voters

00:37:34.600 comfortable with voting Republican

00:37:36.600 even though they were constantly

00:37:37.600 being reminded by Democrats

00:37:38.600 that the Republican

00:37:39.600 they were voting for

00:37:40.600 had supported Trump

00:37:41.600 and Trump did a little

00:37:43.600 telephone rally

00:37:44.600 for Glenn Youngkin

00:37:45.600 in Virginia for example

00:37:46.600 the day before the election

00:37:47.600 so Trump wasn't completely absent

00:37:48.600 I'm not sure we know yet

00:37:50.600 whether Trumpism

00:37:51.600 can survive without Trump

00:37:52.600 and the other reason

00:37:53.600 that there isn't yet

00:37:55.600 a clear front-runner

00:37:56.600 for the presidential

00:37:57.600 nomination in 2024

00:37:59.600 Trump is still the leader

00:38:00.600 of the party

00:38:01.600 and not just by default

00:38:02.600 he's a leader

00:38:03.600 because nobody else

00:38:04.600 gets to the heart

00:38:05.600 of the problem

00:38:06.600 like Trump does

00:38:07.600 when a Democratic policy

00:38:08.600 goes wrong

00:38:09.600 when Joe Biden fails

00:38:10.600 Trump's the only person

00:38:11.600 who can cut through

00:38:12.600 a lot of the political rhetoric

00:38:13.600 people are used to hearing

00:38:14.600 and just tell it like it is

00:38:15.600 so the worst Democrats

00:38:17.600 do in government

00:38:18.600 ironically

00:38:19.600 the better the chances are

00:38:21.600 for a Trump candidacy

00:38:22.600 in 2024

00:38:24.600 and the better chances

00:38:25.600 really become

00:38:26.600 for him to win

00:38:27.600 I mean there are some

00:38:28.600 polls right now

00:38:29.600 where he would defeat

00:38:30.600 Joe Biden

00:38:31.600 in a head-to-head race

00:38:32.600 today

00:38:33.600 so I don't know

00:38:34.600 that he's not a viable

00:38:35.600 candidate

00:38:36.600 yes he comes with

00:38:37.600 a lot of baggage

00:38:38.600 he offends a lot of people

00:38:39.600 but people may start

00:38:40.600 to look past that

00:38:41.600 and they're already yearning

00:38:43.600 for the kind of performance

00:38:44.600 he provided in office

00:38:45.600 even if they're glad

00:38:46.600 that some of the drama

00:38:47.600 last question

00:38:49.600 I mean I've become

00:38:50.600 more and more enamored

00:38:51.600 with Ron DeSantis

00:38:52.600 of Florida

00:38:53.600 first of all his courage

00:38:54.600 in opposing

00:38:55.600 the lockdownism

00:38:56.600 and you know

00:38:58.600 I mean

00:38:59.600 and the results speak

00:39:00.600 for themselves

00:39:01.600 Florida

00:39:02.600 last week reached

00:39:03.600 the lowest infection rate

00:39:04.600 of in

00:39:05.600 in the continental

00:39:06.600 United States

00:39:07.600 which is incredible

00:39:08.600 especially given that

00:39:09.600 they have one of the

00:39:10.600 older populations

00:39:11.600 and they didn't have

00:39:12.600 the lockdowns

00:39:13.600 I like him

00:39:14.600 I think he takes on

00:39:15.600 issues that are

00:39:16.600 actually beyond the scope

00:39:17.600 of his state

00:39:18.600 weighing in on the

00:39:20.600 supply chain crisis

00:39:21.600 saying hey come use

00:39:22.600 our ports

00:39:23.600 he's making jokes

00:39:24.600 about let's go brand

00:39:25.600 and like he's clearly

00:39:26.600 jabbing at Biden

00:39:28.600 he's pushing back

00:39:29.600 on Biden's mandates

00:39:30.600 he's acting in my view

00:39:32.600 like a guy who wants

00:39:33.600 to be in the national stage

00:39:35.600 tragically his wife

00:39:38.600 was diagnosed with cancer

00:39:39.600 I hope she pulls through

00:39:40.600 but that would certainly

00:39:41.600 distract a man

00:39:42.600 from a national campaign

00:39:45.600 and you know

00:39:47.600 he still has plenty

00:39:48.600 of work to do in Florida

00:39:49.600 but give me your thoughts

00:39:51.600 on Ron DeSantis

00:39:52.600 I'm a fanboy

00:39:53.600 what can I say

00:39:54.600 I think he's

00:39:55.600 he is Trumpism

00:39:56.600 without Trump

00:39:57.600 in my books

00:39:58.600 what do you think about

00:39:59.600 Ron DeSantis

00:40:00.600 as a candidate in 2024?

00:40:02.600 Well he is a viable candidate

00:40:05.600 I'm not sure he wants

00:40:06.600 to run against Trump

00:40:07.600 he's aware that Trump

00:40:08.600 helped him get where he is

00:40:09.600 remember that DeSantis

00:40:10.600 was a distant

00:40:11.600 distant third I think

00:40:13.600 in the Republican primary

00:40:15.600 for governor in Florida

00:40:16.600 before Trump endorsed him

00:40:17.600 and I don't think

00:40:18.600 DeSantis is the kind

00:40:19.600 of person to go up

00:40:20.600 against Trump

00:40:21.600 to go up against the guy

00:40:22.600 who basically made him governor

00:40:23.600 also keep in mind

00:40:24.600 DeSantis is following

00:40:25.600 a lot of Trump's policies

00:40:27.600 as governor

00:40:28.600 so yes he has his own

00:40:29.600 swagger his own style

00:40:30.600 and he's very very good

00:40:31.600 on social media

00:40:32.600 as you pointed out

00:40:33.600 he picks up on the memes

00:40:34.600 he picks up on the slang

00:40:35.600 whatever

00:40:36.600 but I think he also

00:40:37.600 is very conscious

00:40:38.600 of the fact that

00:40:39.600 running against Trump

00:40:40.600 would divide the base

00:40:42.600 essentially

00:40:43.600 so I don't think

00:40:44.600 it would work for him

00:40:45.600 there aren't enough voters

00:40:46.600 for him to divide that base

00:40:48.600 and still get elected

00:40:49.600 I think that

00:40:50.600 he has been impressive

00:40:51.600 for a long time

00:40:52.600 even before Trump

00:40:53.600 I mean I was impressed

00:40:54.600 with Ron DeSantis

00:40:55.600 from the time

00:40:56.600 he was in Congress

00:40:57.600 he was a great

00:40:59.600 foreign policy person

00:41:01.600 on the House Foreign Affairs Committee

00:41:03.600 stood up for Israel

00:41:04.600 all the time

00:41:05.600 very very clear minded

00:41:06.600 about that

00:41:07.600 of the US Embassy

00:41:08.600 in Jerusalem

00:41:09.600 back in 2018

00:41:10.600 he was running for governor

00:41:11.600 but it wasn't like

00:41:12.600 some kind of new commitment

00:41:13.600 for him

00:41:14.600 he was one of the 10 members

00:41:15.600 of Congress

00:41:16.600 who showed up

00:41:17.600 10 Republican House members

00:41:18.600 so I think he's got the chops

00:41:19.600 whether he wants to run

00:41:20.600 against Trump

00:41:21.600 I don't think he does

00:41:22.600 I think he will wait

00:41:23.600 until 2028 perhaps

00:41:24.600 or 2032

00:41:25.600 he's got a long way to go

00:41:26.600 he's a young guy

00:41:27.600 and as you point out

00:41:28.600 he's dealing with

00:41:29.600 some family issues

00:41:30.600 I'm sure that she'll do fine

00:41:31.600 but you know

00:41:32.600 he is a viable candidate

00:41:33.600 look

00:41:34.600 Glenn Youngkin

00:41:35.600 in Virginia

00:41:36.600 sounded like a possible

00:41:37.600 presidential contender

00:41:38.600 at some point

00:41:39.600 last night

00:41:40.600 his speech

00:41:41.600 was really great

00:41:42.600 he wasn't partisan

00:41:43.600 he talked about

00:41:44.600 Virginians moving forward

00:41:45.600 together

00:41:46.600 the things they would

00:41:47.600 achieve together

00:41:48.600 and many politicians

00:41:49.600 managed to make that sound

00:41:50.600 quite canned

00:41:51.600 and sort of trite

00:41:53.600 but he really

00:41:54.600 made it sound like

00:41:55.600 a roaring cry

00:41:56.600 for the state as a whole

00:41:57.600 and I think it appealed

00:41:58.600 to a lot of people

00:41:59.600 including people beyond

00:42:00.600 the Republican base

00:42:01.600 so there are a lot

00:42:02.600 of good contenders

00:42:03.600 coming out

00:42:04.600 he's the front runner

00:42:05.600 for 2024

00:42:06.600 it's his nomination

00:42:07.600 to win or lose

00:42:08.600 and I don't think

00:42:09.600 DeSantis is going to

00:42:10.600 want to have

00:42:11.600 a head on confrontation

00:42:12.600 with the guy who helped

00:42:13.600 him get where he is

00:42:14.600 thank you for that

00:42:15.600 I'll let you go

00:42:16.600 but give me 60 seconds

00:42:17.600 on Winsome Sears

00:42:18.600 this amazing

00:42:19.600 amazing

00:42:20.600 lieutenant governor

00:42:21.600 I had never seen her

00:42:22.600 until last night

00:42:23.600 and I know why

00:42:24.600 because if she was

00:42:25.600 a Democrat

00:42:26.600 we would all know

00:42:27.600 her name

00:42:28.600 she would be touted

00:42:29.600 as presidential material

00:42:30.600 her biography

00:42:31.600 her patriotism

00:42:32.600 her beautiful family

00:42:33.600 her service

00:42:34.600 everything about her

00:42:36.600 is a winner

00:42:37.600 and I think that's why

00:42:39.600 the media assiduously

00:42:41.600 ignored her

00:42:42.600 covered her up

00:42:43.600 hid her from the public

00:42:44.600 I'm in love

00:42:45.600 she's amazing

00:42:46.600 give me your thoughts

00:42:47.600 on Winsome Sears

00:42:48.600 well

00:42:50.600 you're not the only person

00:42:51.600 who saw her for the first time

00:42:52.600 yesterday

00:42:53.600 look lieutenant governors

00:42:54.600 are never particularly important

00:42:56.600 the office is almost

00:42:58.600 an afterthought

00:42:59.600 and it's very rare

00:43:00.600 the lieutenant governor

00:43:01.600 has to do anything

00:43:02.600 of course

00:43:03.600 Andrew Cuomo left in New York

00:43:04.600 and so

00:43:05.600 he was replaced by

00:43:06.600 Governor Hochul

00:43:07.600 who's now the

00:43:08.600 lieutenant governor

00:43:09.600 moved up to the governor

00:43:10.600 but

00:43:11.600 Winsome Sears

00:43:12.600 said amazing things

00:43:13.600 last night

00:43:14.600 in a debate

00:43:15.600 that was often charged

00:43:16.600 by accusations of racism

00:43:17.600 one way or another

00:43:18.600 she got up there

00:43:19.600 and said

00:43:20.600 this country is not racist

00:43:21.600 we moved here

00:43:22.600 during the worst

00:43:23.600 of the civil rights movement

00:43:24.600 and she asked her father

00:43:25.600 why did we move here

00:43:26.600 during such a troubled time

00:43:27.600 and he said

00:43:28.600 because America

00:43:29.600 had the jobs

00:43:30.600 and the opportunities

00:43:31.600 and she made it

00:43:32.600 in America

00:43:33.600 she made it

00:43:34.600 in the supposedly racist America

00:43:35.600 she went to college

00:43:36.600 she joined the Marine Corps

00:43:37.600 and she became successful

00:43:39.600 now she's the first female 1.00

00:43:40.600 and also first black female

00:43:41.600 statewide office holder

00:43:42.600 in Virginia

00:43:43.600 and she's a Republican

00:43:44.600 she made

00:43:45.600 an amazing speech

00:43:46.600 she left an amazing impression

00:43:47.600 she's definitely

00:43:48.600 a star for the future

00:43:49.600 one of the few

00:43:50.600 lieutenant governors

00:43:51.600 anybody knows anything about

00:43:52.600 and she definitely

00:43:53.600 has a national future

00:43:54.600 in front of her

00:43:55.600 well I just can't get enough

00:43:57.600 and I

00:43:58.600 and she spoke so authentically

00:44:00.600 like you said

00:44:01.600 there was nothing fake about it

00:44:02.600 I didn't

00:44:03.600 I don't think she had a script

00:44:04.600 she was just talking

00:44:05.600 as she's been talking

00:44:06.600 her whole life

00:44:07.600 I got the feeling

00:44:08.600 anyway so we'll let you go

00:44:09.600 thank you for your time

00:44:10.600 great to see you as always

00:44:11.600 hope to keep in touch

00:44:12.600 I have a new spring in my step

00:44:14.600 for the first time in a year

00:44:15.600 I think America

00:44:16.600 is going to pull back

00:44:17.600 from the brink

00:44:18.600 I've had too much pessimism

00:44:20.600 I think it's always better

00:44:21.600 to be a pessimist

00:44:22.600 and then be pleasantly surprised

00:44:23.600 than the opposite

00:44:24.600 these days especially

00:44:26.600 but I say hope's alive

00:44:28.600 that's how I feel

00:44:30.600 let's put it this way

00:44:31.600 the fight ain't over

00:44:32.600 but we got up off the canvas

00:44:33.600 yeah there you go

00:44:34.600 alright thanks Joel

00:44:35.600 great to see you

00:44:36.600 there you have it

00:44:37.600 Joel Pollack senior editor at large

00:44:38.600 at Breitbart.com

00:44:39.600 stay with us

00:44:40.600 more ahead

00:44:54.600 hey welcome back

00:44:55.600 Semper Fi 007 says

00:44:57.600 Biden was there at COP26

00:44:59.600 on behalf of China

00:45:00.600 not America 0.76

00:45:01.600 I don't know if

00:45:03.600 Joe Biden actually believes

00:45:05.600 in the theory of man-made global warming

00:45:07.600 but he sort of acts like he does

00:45:10.600 well no he talks like he does

00:45:12.600 of course the president

00:45:13.600 of the United States

00:45:14.600 has the single largest carbon footprint

00:45:16.600 of any man in history

00:45:18.600 he flies in a jumbo jet

00:45:21.600 as his private plane

00:45:23.600 he had what

00:45:24.600 50, 80 vehicles

00:45:26.600 in his personal caravan

00:45:27.600 so he certainly doesn't act like he believes

00:45:29.600 that he didn't zoom

00:45:31.600 joined by zoom or Skype

00:45:33.600 but I think Semper Fi 007 has a point

00:45:36.600 in that simply letting China off the hook 0.92

00:45:39.600 and strapping the American and Western economies

00:45:42.600 does China's bidding 0.99

00:45:44.600 Golden Eddy says

00:45:46.600 these people are not just special

00:45:48.600 they are stunning and brave

00:45:49.600 in a world allegedly besieged

00:45:51.600 by a deadly virus

00:45:52.600 the courageous elite

00:45:53.600 are risking mixing with

00:45:54.600 a hundred countries

00:45:55.600 yet no mention of a super spreader event

00:45:57.600 it's almost as if the supposed danger

00:45:59.600 from the risk is so grossly exaggerated

00:46:01.600 that the elite are not concerned

00:46:03.600 and this is why the UK

00:46:04.600 doesn't have a lockdown yet

00:46:05.600 so they can get away with this

00:46:07.600 it will come once they've had their fun

00:46:10.600 well I understand that

00:46:12.600 the rules for mass gatherings

00:46:13.600 in Scotland

00:46:14.600 are more strict

00:46:15.600 than other parts of the UK

00:46:16.600 remember there's

00:46:17.600 the different countries

00:46:18.600 that make up the United Kingdom

00:46:19.600 there's England

00:46:20.600 there's Scotland, Wales

00:46:21.600 and Northern Ireland

00:46:22.600 so I understand that the rules

00:46:23.600 were specifically relaxed

00:46:25.600 for the fancy people

00:46:27.600 at the global warming conference

00:46:29.600 but of course they are

00:46:30.600 I mean if you're going to break

00:46:31.600 the rules about emissions

00:46:33.600 to jet there on a private jet

00:46:35.600 you're not going to follow 0.99

00:46:36.600 something as ridiculous 0.98

00:46:37.600 as a mask rule 0.95

00:46:38.600 or a social distancing rule

00:46:40.600 or a forced vax rule

00:46:42.600 yeah

00:46:43.600 I'm glad Lewis was there

00:46:44.600 it was good to see him in action

00:46:46.600 well that's our show for today

00:46:48.600 until tomorrow

00:46:49.600 on behalf of all of us

00:46:50.600 here at Rebel World headquarters

00:46:51.600 to you at home

00:46:52.600 good night

00:46:53.600 and keep fighting for freedom

00:46:55.600 and let me leave you

00:46:56.600 with an interview

00:46:57.600 that Adam Sose of Calgary did

00:47:00.600 with an Air Canada employee

00:47:01.600 who's speaking out

00:47:03.600 against their forced vaccine policy

00:47:05.600 take a look at this

00:47:06.600 do you have any words of encouragement

00:47:09.600 to maybe colleagues

00:47:10.600 or even people in other industries

00:47:11.600 we're seeing students

00:47:12.600 airline employees

00:47:14.600 government employees

00:47:16.600 people right across the board

00:47:17.600 who are in the same situation

00:47:19.600 who are facing termination

00:47:20.600 and given the number of people

00:47:22.600 we're hearing these stories from

00:47:23.600 I think it's more than people realize

00:47:25.600 do you have any words of encouragement

00:47:27.600 for those people who are in the same situation

00:47:29.600 I believe that as science is evolving

00:47:35.600 and more and more scientists and doctors

00:47:38.600 are speaking up

00:47:39.600 we will probably see

00:47:44.600 that vaccine mandates

00:47:46.600 and vaccine passports

00:47:48.600 will inevitably have to be coming to an end

00:47:52.600 and we can return to our regular happy lives

00:47:57.600 it's really remarkable

00:47:58.600 that the union's not doing anything

00:48:00.600 right

00:48:01.600 you pay your union dues

00:48:02.600 and the union doesn't do anything for you

00:48:04.600 when you face a job termination

00:48:06.600 but you know

00:48:07.600 they'll go and grieve a termination

00:48:10.600 related to an employee

00:48:11.600 who's not been pulling their weight

00:48:12.600 for the past five years

00:48:13.600 but they won't grieve somebody

00:48:15.600 who's sitting at home doing a good job

00:48:20.600 Adam Sose here for Rebel News

00:48:21.600 and today I will be sharing with you the story

00:48:24.600 of one airline employee

00:48:26.600 that we are able to help

00:48:27.600 thanks to your generosity

00:48:29.600 at fightvaccinepassports.com

00:48:32.600 through that initiative

00:48:33.600 and because of your donations

00:48:34.600 we are able to launch

00:48:36.600 20 strategic lawsuits

00:48:38.600 across Canada

00:48:39.600 to help people

00:48:40.600 and to share stories

00:48:42.600 like the story I'm about to share with you today

00:48:44.600 we're keeping the name of this client confidential

00:48:47.600 and we're going to obstruct her identity

00:48:49.600 as best we can

00:48:50.600 in an attempt to safeguard her work

00:48:53.600 but she is one of the many people

00:48:55.600 who may potentially lose out on employment

00:48:57.600 because of their vaccine status

00:48:59.600 her story is one that we thought

00:49:01.600 you absolutely had to hear

00:49:03.600 because she has been working for an airline company

00:49:06.600 for decades

00:49:07.600 and for over 10 years

00:49:08.600 she has worked from home

00:49:09.600 despite this they are insisting

00:49:11.600 that she be vaccinated

00:49:13.600 even though she does not interact with people

00:49:15.600 through her work at all

00:49:17.600 and has not for 10 years

00:49:19.600 if that wasn't crazy enough

00:49:20.600 worse still

00:49:21.600 she had COVID during the first wave

00:49:24.600 and has tested positive for the antibodies

00:49:27.600 so we have lab confirmed antibodies

00:49:29.600 so this is a natural immunity case

00:49:32.600 she is willing to do rapid testing

00:49:35.600 she's willing to go through any other measures

00:49:38.600 but because of her natural immunity 0.80

00:49:40.600 she feels it unreasonable

00:49:41.600 that she should be vaccinated

00:49:42.600 and she is therefore refusing 0.95

00:49:45.600 so we're going to gather some of her story

00:49:47.600 and sit down with her

00:49:48.600 to get her perspective

00:49:49.600 after that we're going to go to

00:49:51.600 Sarah Miller of JSS Barristers

00:49:53.600 who has been provided at no cost to this client

00:49:56.600 to help her defend her livelihood

00:49:58.600 for a little bit about the legal perspective

00:50:00.600 on how we're helping this client

00:50:03.600 alright so thank you so much for joining me

00:50:06.600 obviously to conceal your identity

00:50:08.600 to help protect your employment 0.87

00:50:10.600 we won't be shooting your face

00:50:11.600 for those who are wondering at home

00:50:12.600 we just wanted to first off touch base

00:50:15.600 get some of your story

00:50:16.600 you are one of the many people across Canada

00:50:19.600 who are potentially facing a loss of employment

00:50:21.600 because you're unwilling to be vaccinated

00:50:23.600 if you could maybe tell us first off

00:50:25.600 just to give people a little bit of a sense of your story

00:50:27.600 when this all started

00:50:29.600 and when you thought these vaccine passports

00:50:31.600 and mandates might affect you personally

00:50:34.600 so the vaccine mandate was announced by my airline

00:50:40.600 on 25th of August

00:50:42.600 and the timelines given for the deadlines given

00:50:46.600 for the first dose or reporting

00:50:50.600 at least the first dose were 8th of September

00:50:53.600 and the second dose had to be reported by

00:50:59.600 or had to be administered at least

00:51:02.600 on 16th of September

00:51:04.600 and reported by 30th of October

00:51:08.600 so there's a number of interesting considerations

00:51:11.600 when it comes to your story

00:51:13.600 first off there's the fact that you had COVID

00:51:16.600 and you do have natural immunity

00:51:18.600 that's been confirmed by lab testing

00:51:20.600 can you touch on that a little bit?

00:51:21.600 Yes, I had COVID in the very first wave

00:51:27.600 in March 2020

00:51:29.600 I actually contracted it from a co-worker at work

00:51:34.600 and yes, I was considered a COVID survivor

00:51:40.600 I did really well

00:51:42.600 took some vitamins, took some supplements

00:51:44.600 plenty of liquids, plenty of rest

00:51:46.600 and I believed that I was safe

00:51:54.600 I had immunity

00:51:56.600 and when the vaccine mandate was announced

00:51:59.600 the next day, very next day

00:52:01.600 upon recommendation from my doctor

00:52:04.600 I went to get tested for spike protein antibodies

00:52:10.600 and a couple days later

00:52:12.600 I had my result

00:52:13.600 and I scored positive for these antibodies

00:52:18.600 and it was also a semi-quantitative test

00:52:22.600 that showed that I have a high level of antibodies

00:52:25.600 so you've got the antibodies

00:52:28.600 so there's a pretty reasonable medical reason

00:52:32.600 not to need a vaccine as well

00:52:34.600 you've proven that as well

00:52:35.600 but additionally beyond this

00:52:36.600 and I think what most people will probably find troubling

00:52:38.600 is the nature of your work

00:52:40.600 you've been working from home, is that right?

00:52:42.600 that's correct

00:52:43.600 that's correct

00:52:44.600 for about the past 10 years

00:52:46.600 I've had a position that allowed me to work from home

00:52:50.600 on the phone, on the computer

00:52:52.600 yes, absolutely

00:52:54.600 and so you, and we mentioned this

00:52:57.600 we talked about this before

00:52:58.600 you're willing, you're staying at home

00:53:00.600 so you're isolated

00:53:01.600 you're not being exposed to people on a daily basis

00:53:03.600 you're also willing to undergo rapid testing

00:53:05.600 you've been going through these protocols

00:53:07.600 you're happy to take part in that

00:53:09.600 but they're not giving you any reasonable accommodation

00:53:12.600 they're basically saying

00:53:13.600 get vaccinated or get out, is that right?

00:53:15.600 yes, unfortunately

00:53:17.600 there are no other options offered

00:53:19.600 no exceptions for natural immunity

00:53:22.600 even though me and my doctor

00:53:26.600 offered to take a regular blood test

00:53:29.600 that shows persistent antibody level

00:53:34.600 and yeah, I'm willing to get tested

00:53:39.600 PCR test, rapid test on a regular basis

00:53:43.600 or when needed

00:53:44.600 unfortunately that is not

00:53:47.600 that is not given as an option

00:53:50.600 and it's a story we're seeing time and time again

00:53:52.600 unfortunately

00:53:53.600 you're not alone

00:53:54.600 thousands of Canadians

00:53:55.600 even people within the airline industry

00:53:57.600 are facing the same types of struggles

00:53:59.600 you're willing to do all these things

00:54:01.600 willing to compromise

00:54:02.600 willing to meet them halfway

00:54:03.600 and they're saying

00:54:04.600 no, it's our way

00:54:05.600 or the highway unfortunately

00:54:07.600 how long have you been with roughly Air Canada?

00:54:11.600 how long have you been a unionized employee with them?

00:54:13.600 I've been with my airline for over 20 years now

00:54:18.600 a long time

00:54:19.600 long career

00:54:20.600 so over 20 years of loyal service

00:54:23.600 no major issues

00:54:24.600 suddenly the terms and conditions change

00:54:27.600 you're willing to meet them halfway

00:54:29.600 and they're not willing to do that

00:54:30.600 what does it feel like

00:54:32.600 and I'm sure you're not alone

00:54:33.600 I'm sure there's other people

00:54:34.600 that you've probably spoken with

00:54:35.600 maybe co-workers

00:54:36.600 what does it feel like to have all that work

00:54:39.600 that career after 20 plus years

00:54:41.600 at risk of evaporating

00:54:43.600 simply because of your medical privacy?

00:54:45.600 yeah, it's a really, really bad feeling

00:54:51.600 it's really tough mentally

00:54:54.600 because it's almost imminent in a few days

00:54:58.600 I and many others will be put on personal leave

00:55:03.600 with no benefits, no pay

00:55:06.600 I believe for at least six months

00:55:10.600 at the end of six months

00:55:12.600 they will look at whether they keep us or not

00:55:15.600 we're hoping they keep us

00:55:17.600 but it's possible that we could be terminated

00:55:22.600 and for those people

00:55:24.600 I think anyone reasonably minded will say

00:55:26.600 well you're working at home anyways

00:55:28.600 you've got the immunity

00:55:30.600 you're willing to do testing

00:55:32.600 that's enough compromise for most reasonable people

00:55:34.600 what do you say to the people out there

00:55:36.600 who are vilifying people

00:55:38.600 who are not willing to be vaccinated

00:55:40.600 they're not looking at the human side of the story

00:55:43.600 they're not thinking about you

00:55:44.600 and the thousands of other Canadians

00:55:46.600 who've lost often multi-decade careers

00:55:49.600 or may lose them

00:55:50.600 what do you say to those people who vilify you

00:55:52.600 and don't see you as a human being?

00:55:55.600 well

00:55:57.600 the

00:56:00.600 the

00:56:01.600 COVID has been with us for a year and a half

00:56:03.600 over a year and a half

00:56:05.600 I

00:56:06.600 have been a COVID survivor at the beginning

00:56:09.600 everybody

00:56:10.600 would agree with me

00:56:12.600 that

00:56:13.600 I am immune

00:56:15.600 I've been immune

00:56:16.600 I've been a safe

00:56:17.600 person to be around

00:56:18.600 and

00:56:20.600 as

00:56:21.600 as this pandemic progresses

00:56:23.600 and variants emerge

00:56:25.600 we're seeing with the Delta variant

00:56:27.600 that

00:56:28.600 that

00:56:29.600 actually even vaccinated people are affected now

00:56:32.600 they are getting infected

00:56:33.600 and

00:56:34.600 they're

00:56:35.600 they can spread the disease

00:56:36.600 and they can even be hospitalized

00:56:38.600 I look at the statistics on the Alberta government website

00:56:42.600 and

00:56:43.600 right now it's showing that

00:56:45.600 30% of all new cases are actually among fully vaccinated

00:56:49.600 and this has been translating to the hospitalizations as well

00:56:53.600 so

00:56:54.600 it seems like

00:56:55.600 this is a contagious variant

00:56:58.600 and

00:56:59.600 people may be getting it

00:57:01.600 everybody may get it

00:57:02.600 and

00:57:03.600 people may be spreading it

00:57:04.600 and

00:57:05.600 once they get that natural immunity

00:57:07.600 immunity

00:57:08.600 that is equally good as

00:57:10.600 vaccinated

00:57:11.600 immunity

00:57:12.600 or better

00:57:13.600 that's what

00:57:15.600 perhaps

00:57:16.600 will

00:57:17.600 will put this

00:57:18.600 pandemic behind us

00:57:19.600 and

00:57:20.600 I think many people will appreciate

00:57:21.600 you're not denying there's COVID

00:57:23.600 you've been through COVID

00:57:24.600 you're not denying

00:57:25.600 the potential efficacy of vaccines

00:57:28.600 you're saying you have natural immunity

00:57:30.600 and that is

00:57:31.600 as good if not better

00:57:32.600 I think many people out there will appreciate

00:57:34.600 that it's a very measured and reasonable response

00:57:36.600 I guess finally just before we go

00:57:39.600 do you have any words of encouragement to maybe colleagues

00:57:42.600 or even people in other industries

00:57:44.600 we're seeing students

00:57:45.600 airline employees

00:57:47.600 government employees

00:57:49.600 people right across the board

00:57:50.600 who are in the same situation

00:57:51.600 who are facing termination

00:57:53.600 and

00:57:54.600 and given the number of people we're hearing these stories from

00:57:56.600 I think it's

00:57:57.600 it's more than people realize

00:57:58.600 do you have any words of encouragement

00:58:00.600 for those people who are in the same situation

00:58:02.600 I believe that

00:58:05.600 as science is evolving

00:58:08.600 and more and more scientists and doctors

00:58:11.600 are speaking

00:58:12.600 speaking up

00:58:13.600 we will

00:58:16.600 we will probably see

00:58:18.600 that vaccine mandates

00:58:20.600 and vaccine passports will

00:58:22.600 inevitably have to be

00:58:24.600 coming to an end

00:58:25.600 and

00:58:27.600 we can return to

00:58:28.600 our regular

00:58:29.600 happy lives

00:58:30.600 okay

00:58:31.600 well thank you so much for sharing your story with us

00:58:34.600 we're going to continue and touch base with you

00:58:36.600 as the legal proceedings

00:58:38.600 move forward

00:58:39.600 we're going to meet with Sarah Miller very soon

00:58:41.600 to discuss

00:58:42.600 the legal proceedings

00:58:43.600 and how we're going to be acting on your behalf

00:58:45.600 but thank you so much for sharing your story with us

00:58:47.600 and thank you very much for representing me

00:58:49.600 happy to do so

00:58:50.600 thank you

00:58:51.600 thank you

00:58:52.600 so as I mentioned

00:58:53.600 I am now here with Sarah Miller of JSS Barristers

00:58:56.600 who will be providing us with a bit of an update

00:58:58.600 on the legal component of this Air Canada case

00:59:01.600 so if you could maybe just let us know the nature of the case

00:59:04.600 kind of what the plan is moving forward

00:59:06.600 so for background there Air Canada has initiated a vaccine policy

00:59:11.600 mandating all of our employees to be vaccinated

00:59:14.600 our prospective client

00:59:17.600 or client I should say not prospective

00:59:20.600 is working from home

00:59:22.600 and there's really no reason for her to be vaccinated 0.83

00:59:27.600 she's also got natural immunity 0.99

00:59:28.600 she's had COVID previously

00:59:30.600 so we have asked the union to argue against the vaccine policy

00:59:36.600 the union has just straight up refused

00:59:38.600 I mean they've given us non-answers

00:59:39.600 they've not done anything for anyone frankly

00:59:42.600 who's a unionized employee at Air Canada

00:59:47.600 so the next step now is to launch a complaint against the Canada Industrial Relations Board

00:59:53.600 to hopefully get that board to order the union to do something for these employees

00:59:59.600 who are facing this mandate

01:00:01.600 and when we spoke with the client

01:00:03.600 like she'd mentioned

01:00:04.600 over 10 years working from home

01:00:06.600 basically in isolation by default

01:00:08.600 not being subjected to other people

01:00:10.600 also tested and confirmed antibodies for COVID

01:00:13.600 she also mentioned that she was willing to go through other protocols

01:00:16.600 do rapid testing

01:00:18.600 she's willing to do just about everything

01:00:20.600 except for this one thing

01:00:21.600 and all she's seeking is some reasonable accommodations

01:00:24.600 is there any grounds under which they're offering any reasonable accommodations

01:00:28.600 or are they just steadfast and not making any exceptions

01:00:31.600 so Air Canada is deciding that they're

01:00:34.600 as far as we've heard so far

01:00:36.600 they're not giving exceptions

01:00:38.600 we have not heard from anybody at Air Canada yet

01:00:40.600 that they've actually gotten an exemption

01:00:42.600 due to a medical reason or otherwise

01:00:44.600 so that you know

01:00:47.600 and until that happens

01:00:48.600 until we hear of somebody

01:00:50.600 you know we're not in contact with every Air Canada employee

01:00:52.600 but it seems from our perspective

01:00:54.600 that Air Canada is not offering any kind of option

01:00:58.600 besides just getting vaccinated

01:01:00.600 which when you're working from home

01:01:02.600 and otherwise following public health mandates

01:01:04.600 can be you know a difficult thing to face

01:01:07.600 loss of employment

01:01:09.600 and it's really remarkable that the union's not doing anything

01:01:13.600 right you pay your union dues

01:01:15.600 and the union doesn't do anything for you

01:01:17.600 when you face a job termination

01:01:19.600 but you know they'll go and they'll go and grieve a termination related to an employee

01:01:24.600 who's not been pulling their weight for the past five years

01:01:26.600 but they won't grieve somebody who's sitting at home doing a good job

01:01:29.600 and that's something certainly we've seen unions across the board

01:01:33.600 not going to bat for their employees on this specific issue

01:01:36.600 seemingly they forget that they're supposed to be agents for the people who pay them union dues every month

01:01:41.600 and that's evaporated

01:01:42.600 so a letter will be sent

01:01:44.600 and hopefully there's some action there

01:01:46.600 is there a plan moving forward from that or is that kind of we wait and see

01:01:50.600 so we're going to file a complaint with the regulatory board that looks over the unions for federal unions

01:01:57.600 so we're going to it's a regulatory complaint procedure

01:02:00.600 we will file the complaint

01:02:02.600 it will be heard by the board at some point

01:02:05.600 and hopefully the board will direct the union to take action here

01:02:09.600 well thanks again for the update and we'll continue to follow the story as it unfolds

01:02:13.600 as always I'd like to thank Sarah Miller for providing us with that legal analysis on this

01:02:18.600 I also particularly want to thank this brave airline employee for coming forward with her story

01:02:25.600 for every story that we are able to tell there are thousands of people in the same circumstances

01:02:30.600 so it's important people out there need to know that they're not alone

01:02:34.600 these particular stories though will become legal cases

01:02:37.600 cases where we are going to bat and hopefully setting precedent for others who are in the same situation

01:02:43.600 this is a vital time in this fight

01:02:45.600 I want to encourage all of you to go to fightvaccinepassports.com right away

01:02:51.600 check out the stories and check out the fights that we are fighting on the behalf of Canadians across this country

01:02:58.600 who have had enough with vaccine passports 0.99

01:03:01.600 there's also an opportunity there for you to sign our petition

01:03:04.600 as well as to contribute to our legal battles in defense of fundamentally Canadian values

01:03:10.600 like freedom and medical privacy

01:03:12.600 as always I want to thank you all for tuning in

01:03:14.600 for Rebel News, I'm Adam Sos

01:03:17.600 the airline industry has been the center of a great deal of negative attention since the onset of COVID-19

01:03:27.600 with flight cancellations and no refunds being given to mass layoffs

01:03:32.600 the news has not been good

01:03:34.600 and that negativity seems to be continuing moving forward with vaccine passports

01:03:40.600 it is not only clients and customers who will be excluded from air travel

01:03:45.600 but now the employees of the airlines themselves facing potential termination based on their vaccination status
