Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ Are you comfortable with Joe Biden’s political rivals being arrested？

00:00:00.200 Hello, my rebels. I saw a video of Steve Bannon, the Republican journalist and political strategist, being frog-marched into a police station to surrender to authorities.

00:00:11.640 He was later released, but it made me think, I didn't see any of that during Trump's entire term as president.

00:00:18.320 Was he arresting his political rivals, journalistic rivals? No, he debated them every day. He called them names and mean tweets, but did he actually arrest anyone?

00:00:27.160 And then there was James O'Keefe of Project Veritas, and he had his house raided and his property seized, and then his secret documents leaked to the New York Times.

00:00:36.860 Did that happen under Trump? I'll take you through it, and I'll tell you what else is going on down there.

00:00:43.440 And I'll paint a picture, I think, of an American legal system that has been turned into an authoritarian machine targeting its own citizens.

00:00:51.540 I'll give you lots of proof of that. I'd like you to become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus.

00:01:27.260 Tonight, are you comfortable with Joe Biden's political rivals being thrown in jail?

00:01:48.120 It's November 16th, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:51.100 I'm telling you right now, this is going to be the misdemeanor from hell for Merrick Garland, Nancy Pelosi, and Joe Biden.

00:02:19.460 Joe Biden ordered Merrick Garland to prosecute me from the White House alone when he got off Marine One.

00:02:26.360 And we're going to do, we're going to go on the offense. We're tired of playing defense.

00:02:29.500 We're going to go on the offense on this and stand by.

00:02:32.980 By the way, by the way, by the way, you should understand, Nancy Pelosi is taking on Donald Trump and Steve Bannon.

00:02:39.080 She ought to ask Hillary Clinton how that turned out for them, okay?

00:02:41.760 We're going on the offense.

00:02:43.580 Did you see this video yesterday?

00:02:45.720 You probably recognize that, man.

00:02:49.460 It's Steve Bannon.

00:02:50.600 He was a conservative thinker and entrepreneur and political advisor.

00:02:55.340 He was a strategist.

00:02:56.740 He ran Breitbart.com for a while.

00:02:58.980 Then he was brought in in the 2018 presidential election, about halfway through the campaign,

00:03:04.640 to turn Donald Trump's campaign fortunes around.

00:03:08.580 Trump sacked his previous campaign boss, put in Bannon, and seemed to work.

00:03:13.320 Bannon worked for a bit in the White House after the election, but for whatever reason, it didn't work out.

00:03:20.340 I'm guessing his temperament is more of a warrior and an insurgent than a manager or governor.

00:03:26.920 Maybe that was it.

00:03:28.560 Trump embarrassed Bannon when he sacked him, but Bannon didn't seem to mind.

00:03:33.840 He kept doing things in the world of political ideas.

00:03:36.680 He set up a very popular podcast.

00:03:39.620 He was a very early critic of China and the pandemic.

00:03:43.100 He's a battler.

00:03:45.340 There's a lot of examples of people like Bannon on the left.

00:03:49.340 Usually they run think tanks or popular podcasts or they're philanthropists who give to political causes.

00:03:56.060 They're often embedded right into mainstream media as thinkers and pundits.

00:04:00.880 Glenn Greenwald points out that so much of the national security deep state literally works for places like CNN now as official spokesmen.

00:04:12.100 You see former senior FBI agents, CIA directors.

00:04:16.400 It's just giving full-tilt propaganda in the mainstream media without any criticism of them or skepticism.

00:04:23.120 And that's somehow treated as normal.

00:04:24.520 But Bannon, a rare voice on the other side, was never part of an establishment like that.

00:04:31.840 Anyways, after Trump lost the election in November 2020, the left had a vengeance that was palpable.

00:04:39.460 No healing the country, no pulling together, blamestorming and comeuppance.

00:04:45.420 One of the things they focused on was the January 6th political protest of the Capitol building in the United States in Washington where a number of people broke into the building itself and trespassed.

00:04:59.260 And there was some vandalism.

00:05:01.560 Only one person was killed that day, an unarmed protester named Ashley Babbitt, actually a military veteran.

00:05:08.960 The cop who killed her has never been charged, but that was the only killing that day.

00:05:16.600 An officer did die, but the coroner said it was of natural causes.

00:05:22.020 I know that whole thing on January 6th was called a riot.

00:05:25.800 And it was called an insurrection.

00:05:28.460 And a lot of Democrats have said that it was the gravest threat to the American Republic since 9-11 or since the Civil War.

00:05:34.940 But I'm not so sure anymore.

00:05:36.440 I don't like trespass and I don't like riots or vandalism.

00:05:41.300 The Democrats and their allies seem to.

00:05:44.120 They had a whole summer of riots across America in 2020, including in Washington, D.C., Antifa and Black Lives Matter.

00:05:51.560 But I noticed that while the Democrats talk about riots and insurrection on January 6th, no one that day has been charged with rioting or insurrection.

00:06:01.600 The charges are more on the level of a ticket.

00:06:05.960 I saw someone was charged with parading, which sounds about right. 1.00

00:06:11.200 I have a friend who calls the whole thing the great meandering.

00:06:14.420 And then there's the little wrinkle that the whole thing seems to have been provoked by FBI agents egging on participants and Washington police standing down.

00:06:26.580 Like this guy, an FBI asset who has never been arrested or charged.

00:06:31.380 In fact, tomorrow, I don't even like to say it because I'll be arrested.

00:06:36.940 Well, let's not say it.

00:06:37.600 We need, we need to go, I'll say it.

00:06:40.220 All right.

00:06:40.660 We need to go in to the Capitol.

00:06:44.620 Let's go!

00:06:46.620 I'm going to put it out there.

00:06:47.940 I'm probably going to go to jail.

00:06:48.960 Tomorrow, we need to go in to the Capitol.

00:06:53.640 In to the Capitol.

00:06:59.420 Peacefully!

00:07:00.380 Fed!

00:07:00.920 Fed!

00:07:01.520 Fed!

00:07:02.160 Fed!

00:07:02.740 Fed!

00:07:03.320 Fed!

00:07:03.640 Fed!

00:07:04.080 Yeah, so I don't think that this is turning into the Watergate that the Democrats hoped it would be for the Republicans.

00:07:11.460 I think Joe Biden's disastrous tenure as president has taken up the national conversation.

00:07:16.700 Certainly, Biden's polls are shockingly low.

00:07:20.400 Kamala Harris's are even lower, if that's possible.

00:07:23.180 Inflation is high.

00:07:24.320 Gasoline prices are high.

00:07:25.560 Supply chain problems are perplexing.

00:07:27.720 The whole world laughs at America, from China to the Taliban.

00:07:31.920 And the pandemic isn't over, at least where Democrats have a say.

00:07:35.680 So, this whole January 6th narrative, the greatest threat to the Republic, I think it's failed.

00:07:42.400 Despite major media backing it.

00:07:44.160 But one of the things the Democrats did is they summoned, they subpoenaed Steve Bannon to testify about his role as if a political activist and pundit and reporter is a criminal mastermind of the great meandering.

00:07:59.600 I say, start with that FBI agent.

00:08:03.600 His name is Ray Epps, by the way, if that helps.

00:08:05.840 Maybe he has more answers.

00:08:07.720 So, anyways, the FBI, they actually arrested Steve Bannon.

00:08:11.580 They had him turn himself in, that is.

00:08:14.300 Here he is, walking to the police station.

00:08:16.420 He was later released.

00:08:18.580 This really happened in America.

00:08:20.080 Not Trump's America.

00:08:21.180 In fact, I can't think of a single political or journalistic personality who was arrested during Trump's entire tenure as president.

00:08:30.340 Can you?

00:08:31.220 I just don't think of any.

00:08:33.480 Arresting Trump's aide, former Breitbart boss.

00:08:37.260 So, Trump was called an enemy of the free press.

00:08:40.620 Because of his mean tweets.

00:08:42.540 But Biden arrests a political rival.

00:08:45.400 A journalist.

00:08:47.640 And it's just fine.

00:08:48.820 The media cheers, if anything.

00:08:49.900 And just before that, James O'Keefe, the boss of Project Veritas, he had his office and his home raided by police,

00:09:01.020 who seized not only a copy of Joe Biden's daughter's diary,

00:09:05.820 which reportedly had embarrassing entries about showering with her dad. 0.99

00:09:10.740 I'm sorry, I had to tell you that because it shows why the diary may be politically sensitive. 0.97

00:09:16.000 That whole family is pretty screwed up, by the way.

00:09:20.840 You'll remember that Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son, had a whole laptop full of crazy videos and photos and emails of him doing drugs 1.00

00:09:28.960 and having sex with prostitutes and all sorts of notes about making money and all sorts of dirty schemes.

00:09:35.000 The New York Post broke that laptop story in 2020 in time for the election. 0.71

00:09:39.520 The courts didn't step in.

00:09:41.640 The FBI didn't step in because Trump was still president.

00:09:44.960 But big tech stepped in.

00:09:47.040 Twitter, for example, suspended the New York Post's account and censored this story, even though it was accurate.

00:09:53.420 No one was allowed to hear the story from themselves until after the election.

00:09:56.080 Well, now the FBI just went in and seized the Biden diary from Project Veritas

00:10:02.120 and also seized privileged documents, legal documents, confidential documents from Project Veritas,

00:10:08.980 which just happens to be suing the New York Times on other matters.

00:10:12.800 And wouldn't you know it, the FBI started to leak what they had seized from Project Veritas, leak it to the New York Times.

00:10:20.740 So let's sum up.

00:10:23.440 In the course of a week, a Republican political and media figure, Steve Bannon,

00:10:28.980 is arrested and forced to turn himself into the FBI for his journalism being too provocative.

00:10:34.000 And a Republican political and media figure, James O'Keefe, has his home raided and his property seized,

00:10:40.260 including privileged legal files for talking about things embarrassing to Biden.

00:10:45.060 And crickets from the people who told us Trump was going to kill freedom and the First Amendment.

00:10:53.520 And just a few hours ago, this, just a few hours ago, this, I wasn't even going to mention this,

00:10:58.660 and this popped up on my feed today.

00:11:02.400 An internal memo from the Department of Justice leaks

00:11:06.360 showing that Joe Biden intends to use counter-terrorism squads and assets and systems,

00:11:14.220 counter-terrorism, against parents who complain about critical race theory being taught in schools.

00:11:19.860 As you know, there was a major issue in the Virginia election.

00:11:23.100 Parents were opposed to crazy things being taught in schools,

00:11:26.000 and the Democrats actually pushed back and said, parents have no role in the schools.

00:11:31.240 Democrats say parents were like terrorists.

00:11:33.360 Well, it's one thing for a Democratic candidate to say that he lost.

00:11:38.200 But this is the nonpartisan Department of Justice under Joe Biden acting on it.

00:11:42.320 And here's Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland denying this whole thing just a few days ago.

00:11:48.640 Do you apologize to Scott Smith and his 15-year-old daughter, Judge?

00:11:53.780 Senator, anyone whose child was raped is the most horrific crime I can imagine,

00:12:00.800 and is certainly entitled and protected by the First Amendment to protest to their school board about this.

00:12:06.700 But he was cited by the School Board Association as a domestic terrorist,

00:12:10.600 which we now know that letter and those reports were the basis for your...

00:12:13.480 No, no, Senator.

00:12:14.700 That's wrong.

00:12:15.940 Judge, this is shameful.

00:12:17.200 This testimony, your directive, your performance is shameful.

00:12:20.860 That's not...

00:12:21.680 Thank God you are not on the Supreme Court.

00:12:24.080 You should resign and disgrace, Judge.

00:12:25.480 So they're arresting political rivals.

00:12:29.060 They're raiding political rivals.

00:12:31.140 They're seizing confidential documents.

00:12:33.400 They're planning to use counterterrorism assets and tools to go after parents.

00:12:39.020 This is not Donald Trump.

00:12:40.960 This is what they said Trump would do, but he never did.

00:12:44.000 They were just projecting.

00:12:45.920 It's what they always wanted to do.

00:12:48.460 And they're doing it.

00:12:50.680 At least America has another party fighting back.

00:12:53.500 At least there are two sides to the debate there.

00:12:56.520 Not here in Canada.

00:12:58.460 All the governing parties.

00:13:00.080 All the opposing parties.

00:13:01.820 All identical and everything important.

00:13:03.600 How is that even possible?

00:13:05.020 All five major parties in Ottawa.

00:13:06.960 All ten provincial governments.

00:13:08.140 All ten provincial opposition parties.

00:13:10.060 All the same.

00:13:11.300 All the media with one percent exceptions.

00:13:13.440 The same.

00:13:14.700 At least America has another side to the story.

00:13:17.280 What might it look like here a year into the future if we keep on this path?

00:13:20.760 I mean, British Columbia just extended its state of emergency until the end of 2022.

00:13:26.600 So basically you won't be free till 2023.

00:13:29.940 They just did it.

00:13:30.820 No problem.

00:13:32.680 Who does that look like?

00:13:35.900 What will they get up to in another year?

00:13:38.620 I don't know, but here's Austria.

00:13:40.740 That German accent is just too spot on.

00:13:54.100 Here's the Austrian police demanding people's papers in the streets.

00:13:57.660 What's worse?

00:14:25.200 The Gestapo tactics in Austria?

00:14:29.040 I recommend looking in the attics.

00:14:31.160 That's where people hid the last time.

00:14:34.260 What's worse, that?

00:14:36.320 Or the people who happily complied?

00:14:40.040 Yeah, tell me again about how Trump was the risk to our freedoms.

00:14:45.020 Stay with us for more.

00:14:46.100 I don't want to make fun of people for wearing masks.

00:15:00.800 I don't want to make fun of them because they have been instructed to wear masks.

00:15:03.660 I do find it a chuckle to see people jogging outdoors with a mask on or riding in a car all by themselves with a mask on.

00:15:12.800 And I shouldn't be judgmental because when every doctor says to do that, every politician, every bureaucrat, the entire media says to do that, who are you to think otherwise?

00:15:23.420 It is a little odd to me, though, when I see people who are unhealthy in every way.

00:15:29.380 For example, there are a lot of people in society who are fat.

00:15:31.760 I would say I'm one of them.

00:15:33.180 If you eat junk food, if you smoke, if you drink liquor, if you're out of shape, to think that the greatest health risk in your life can be fixed by wearing a mask.

00:15:44.080 I think that's what we call a placebo.

00:15:47.100 I think that's fake.

00:15:48.240 I think that's coping.

00:15:49.920 As you know, the vast majority of people who die from the coronavirus virus are people who are overweight and have underlying medical conditions.

00:16:00.880 A mask ain't going to stop that.

00:16:03.120 And the reason I say that is because a lot of people who put fitness and personal health at the center of their lives have thought carefully about taking the vaccine and have, after some contemplation and research, decided it's not in their best interest.

00:16:21.860 You see this, for example, amongst elite athletes, people who are at extremely low risk from the virus to begin with, and who actually think about what they put in their body and the risks they're willing to take.

00:16:36.040 And so it is with, I think, our guest today.

00:16:40.580 He is someone for whom physical fitness is a job requirement, and risk management and assessing different threats to him and others is what he does every day.

00:16:49.420 At least until he was sacked for refusing to get the jab.

00:16:54.240 I refer to Corporal Daniel Balford, who was a specialized RCMP officer, a sniper spotter, who is assigned from time to time to protect no one less than the prime minister himself.

00:17:05.420 And he joins us now.

00:17:07.180 Via Skype, Corporal Balford, pleasure to have you on the show.

00:17:09.640 I can understand why someone living in a long-term care home in their 70s, overweight, underlying conditions, would wear a mask, would take the vax.

00:17:20.740 Those are people at risk from this virus.

00:17:23.000 You're a healthy man, I'm going to guess, in your 30s.

00:17:27.540 You're very fit.

00:17:29.500 You just simply are not someone who's at high risk from this virus.

00:17:33.760 That's my view.

00:17:34.440 What's your thoughts on the subject?

00:17:35.720 Well, first of all, thank you for having me.

00:17:40.580 Yeah, I definitely fall into a category that would be considered low risk.

00:17:48.080 You know, almost 40, just a little bit shy of that mark.

00:17:53.280 Very healthy, very active.

00:17:54.960 I don't have any underlying comorbidities.

00:18:01.320 And I've made it a part of my lifestyle ever since probably going back as far back as high school to take fitness, health and fitness seriously.

00:18:12.560 You know, I've evolved over time.

00:18:14.600 I've tried various different fitness regimens, you know, with the goal of constantly trying to improve what I had before.

00:18:23.040 So, I don't feel I'm at high risk of the virus.

00:18:28.680 I know it can be very serious for some, like you mentioned.

00:18:31.440 I don't fall into any of those categories.

00:18:33.500 And what I have seen from some of the scientific literature that I've paid attention to from groups like the Canadian COVID Care Alliance and their affiliates,

00:18:45.340 it appears that someone like myself and some of the athletes that you mentioned are likely at greater risk of an adverse event from one of the vaccines than we are of severe illness or disease from coronavirus.

00:19:05.600 Yeah, I mean, especially young men.

00:19:07.340 I've looked at some of the adverse events.

00:19:10.420 That's a fancy way of saying someone who was injured by the vaccine itself.

00:19:13.540 Young men, especially with heart issues, myocarditis, pericarditis, it's so noticeable that many countries around the world, for example, have banned some of these mRNA vaccines from young men.

00:19:32.280 And I'm not sure how the science in a place like Iceland or somewhere in Scandinavia is suddenly different than the biological science here in Canada.

00:19:40.360 But I think a larger point is I don't think you ought to have to explain yourself for not taking a medical procedure.

00:19:50.120 There's no other field.

00:19:51.680 There's no other disease or illness or malady that you have to publicly talk about your choices.

00:19:59.160 So even if you were wrong, I think you're right, by the way.

00:20:01.860 I think you're probably healthier than 99 percent of people, just like those sports athletes, those elite athletes are.

00:20:09.140 So I think you're right.

00:20:10.360 I think you're persuasive.

00:20:11.140 But even if you were wrong, even if you had some theory that just didn't hold water, I just don't think you would have to bloody well explain yourself.

00:20:19.160 And yet, is it a fact that your entire department or maybe the RCMP in a whole are firing officers who don't get the jab?

00:20:30.980 Is that tell me what happened?

00:20:32.260 I mean, are you all being fired if you don't take the jab?

00:20:36.660 There.

00:20:38.100 Yesterday was the official date.

00:20:39.620 And for to have your attestation completed, that you have at least one dose of the vaccine if you haven't been fully vaccinated already.

00:20:48.820 And so if you have not attested and if you have not provided proof of vaccination by yesterday's date, you're being put on administrative leave without pay.

00:21:00.940 They're claiming that it's non-punitive, but obviously that's not the case when you're taking away someone's paycheck.

00:21:09.620 So that's the current status of many of the members in my position.

00:21:15.240 Now, we've been looking at other working people who have a union, and some of the unions are going along with the employer and refusing to fight this.

00:21:27.300 Other unions are showing some courage.

00:21:30.260 I don't quite understand the state of unionization in the RCMP, so forgive me for not knowing that.

00:21:36.680 Do you have any representation?

00:21:39.600 Has there been anyone trying to, within the RCMP, within, well, maybe even other police, trying to push back on this?

00:21:48.540 Within the RCMP, we have the National Police Federation.

00:21:52.100 It's fairly young as far as unions go, like maybe only a few years old.

00:21:59.600 You know, that was, the RCMP was non-unionized for the vast majority of its existence until the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that it was unconstitutional for us not to have that representation.

00:22:11.860 So our union has not provided any kind of a challenge to the Treasury Board policy that affects all federal public service employees, including the RCMP.

00:22:26.220 We've had various correspondence, depending on the member and depending on the union rep.

00:22:36.220 But the official response so far has been that there will not be any kind of a charter challenge due to the likelihood of failing at arbitration based on the legal opinion that they received.

00:22:55.120 And so really what their support is, is like they're publicly stating their support, our right to choose, but that they will help us navigate the choice, the consequences of our choices.

00:23:08.260 So essentially what that seems to mean is they'll help you with trying to seek either a religious or medical exemption, or they'll help you navigate the leave without pay process.

00:23:19.440 Huh, so they won't even try fighting because they say they might lose, so we better not fight because we might lose.

00:23:26.640 That doesn't sound like a particularly helpful union.

00:23:31.060 You know, there's some workplaces where I can understand in my gut why they would be extremely cautious on this.

00:23:39.420 Like let's say you worked in a long-term care facility, really close contact with lots of old people who have underlying infirmities.

00:23:47.360 Okay, I get it. I mean, I don't know what the science is, but that rings true.

00:23:52.160 If you've got a place, you've got to be careful.

00:23:54.360 It would be working really close quarters to old folks. 1.00

00:23:58.380 But, you know, I don't know a lot about snipers and spotters, but you're typically outdoors.

00:24:04.800 You're typically a great distance from other people.

00:24:07.380 You know, you're out in the sunshine, in the wind.

00:24:11.460 The idea that you would have to be jabbed to do that job.

00:24:16.600 I mean, the only thing more remote, I think, is if you worked in a lighthouse or something.

00:24:20.640 Like you are literally the eagle eye on a high building or a lookout scanning the crowd for threats to the prime minister or other dignitaries.

00:24:30.420 The idea that you have to be jabbed to do your job is laughable.

00:24:35.360 Like I really, other than like someone who's driving a truck by themselves, I can't think of anyone who's more sort of like a lone ranger.

00:24:44.640 Yeah, that's correct.

00:24:46.500 Like we typically work in very small groups, you know, sometimes most often only as a pair.

00:24:53.040 And rarely do I ever have direct contact with the public in close proximity.

00:25:02.020 Yeah, I find it very strange.

00:25:03.900 You know, I was thinking about the firemen because a bunch of firemen are being fired over this.

00:25:08.660 And I don't know a lot about firemen, but I know that I know there's I know one central fact about them.

00:25:14.560 They have come to terms with the fact that they may die unnaturally.

00:25:19.000 They might they may run into a burning building, which is not a normal human response.

00:25:24.540 They run to danger while everyone is running away from danger.

00:25:28.260 And one of the things firemen sometimes do is if there's someone who's passed out from smoke or whatever, they literally pick them up and take them out of a burning building.

00:25:37.480 We've all seen images of that.

00:25:38.820 And maybe ninety nine percent of the time they're just waiting.

00:25:44.400 But that one percent of the time when the crisis comes, they run towards the danger like it's it's an amazing thing.

00:25:51.940 Not everyone's built for it.

00:25:53.140 And I think that a sniper is probably further away than really close protection for like a personal bodyguard for the prime minister.

00:26:01.340 But I would I would imagine that there could be a scenario where you yourself might actually have to face a bullet, God forbid.

00:26:11.340 I mean, you're not right there like like his body man.

00:26:14.360 But your job involves you making the decision that you would possibly die to fulfill your job.

00:26:23.080 And for someone to be so dainty is to say, well, I won't let a fireman come and rescue me from a fire if they're not jabbed or I won't let a bodyguard protect me.

00:26:34.640 God forbid from a bullet if they're not if they're not jabbed.

00:26:38.120 I don't want to protect me from a bullet like it's such an absurd demand.

00:26:44.820 It can only be political.

00:26:46.340 There's no medical basis for this.

00:26:48.260 And I disagree with your union that there's that this is legally enforceable, too.

00:26:52.700 What do you think is really going on here?

00:26:54.460 It doesn't feel like medicine.

00:26:59.060 No, I strongly.

00:27:03.720 Feel that this is way more about compliance now than it is about public health.

00:27:08.120 And when you mentioned the fireman and me as a police officer, you know, the majority of my time, I'm performing a sniper role, but not all the time.

00:27:21.700 I have faced many dangerous situations in my career, both during my time in the tactical policing world, but also in my previous,

00:27:34.020 like the first six and a half years of my career was all Northern policing up in the Yukon territory.

00:27:42.420 So as a first, when I see this current situation that we're in, one of the messages that I would like to get through to people is to kind of appeal to people's humanity

00:27:52.460 and to pause and think to themselves, why is it that so many police, paramedics, nurses, firefighters, and even doctors are refusing to take any of these injections

00:28:07.840 and are willing to lose their income over it.

00:28:12.300 And some of them who have been speaking out since far earlier than I have, you know, risking their entire public reputation, opening themselves up to ridicule and attack.

00:28:23.420 Like, like we're not refusing this based on a position of selfishness and only caring about a serious reaction to myself.

00:28:33.260 I think overwhelmingly the, the opinions guiding our beliefs, guiding our decision are that if you listen to thousands of scientists in relative fields,

00:28:56.400 like virology, immunology, vaccinology, biology, and you listen to physicians who are treating COVID patients,

00:29:05.760 many of them critical care, critical care physicians, there is, the science is not settled.

00:29:15.180 So when, when I look at that, it's, it's not from a position of selfishness.

00:29:19.040 It's, it's from a position of informed decision-making where I have just listened to the official narrative provided by the government, public health, and the mainstream media.

00:29:30.820 I have deliberately sought out experts in the relative fields to open myself to the both sides of this argument.

00:29:40.820 And I think the, and I think the strongest evidence that the policy decisions are being made on is weak at best.

00:29:53.720 Yeah.

00:29:54.740 And it is not obvious that these are safe or effective.

00:30:00.740 Therefore, if I question the effectiveness of their ability to prevent infection and transmission of the disease,

00:30:14.200 why would I take the risk of a massive cardiac event or a thrombo, a clotting related event,

00:30:22.280 which could permanently disable me, kill me for something that doesn't even,

00:30:28.620 that it's not even obvious that it prevents infection or prevent the spread.

00:30:32.220 In fact, public health officials around the world have admitted that these do not prevent infection or transmission.

00:30:42.940 Ultimately, the goal is to provide you some level of protection from severe illness or disease.

00:30:49.620 And that has been confirmed by multiple experts in the scientific and medical community that I have had personal conversations with since I started speaking out publicly.

00:31:03.680 Yeah.

00:31:03.880 Well, I mean, just last week, the Centers for Disease Control and even Bill Gates himself made similar,

00:31:09.520 and even Anthony Fauci have said as much that the vaccine really can't be called that well.

00:31:14.220 Let me leave you with one last question.

00:31:16.320 I mean, you listed a number of professions there, and I think you make a good point.

00:31:25.340 This has got to be about something more than health.

00:31:26.960 So if you weed out anyone who's independent-minded, anyone who really thinks about ethics,

00:31:34.960 anyone who is a critical thinker, a possible dissident, a possible contrarian,

00:31:40.420 and finally, someone who's got the courage to stand up to the institutions.

00:31:46.220 Because there might be people who are independent-minded, ethical, and critical thinkers,

00:31:50.100 but they just can't risk losing their job or they just can't buck the system.

00:31:56.220 So there may be some very thoughtful people who are worried about this, but they're just afraid.

00:32:00.840 So if you weed out anyone who's courageous enough to say, excuse me, boss, I got a question.

00:32:08.380 What you've done is you've reset all these institutions, the first responders, the police,

00:32:15.820 the armed forces, the health system.

00:32:18.600 You've reset them by culling the people who are the least compliant.

00:32:26.140 And you have rewarded and set in place an incentive system for obedience.

00:32:31.660 And I don't think that makes a healthier democracy.

00:32:34.900 It might make a stronger authoritarian system, but I don't think it's a stronger democracy.

00:32:40.960 Last word to you, Corporal.

00:32:42.300 Yeah, I think that sentiment is shared widely across this country right now,

00:32:49.440 that we are incrementally moving towards an authoritarian style of governance.

00:32:55.380 You know, it may have started years ago, a number of years ago,

00:32:59.400 when it was an attack on freedom of speech and compelled speech law.

00:33:04.920 And then we've seen a progression of this cancel culture

00:33:08.160 that de-platforms anyone who says anything that may be considered unpopular,

00:33:14.220 even if they're very thoughtful and reasonable about how they present their argument.

00:33:18.620 And now this, with the enforcement and pressure tactics being heavily applied

00:33:26.840 into the overreach of bodily autonomy,

00:33:29.920 I think that's probably the most egregious overreach we've seen to date.

00:33:34.580 But it's definitely concerning that we are starting to move more and more

00:33:41.900 towards an authoritarian type of government.

00:33:44.880 And it's most concerning to me that so many people in Canada seem to be okay with that

00:33:51.880 or willing to accept that.

00:33:54.300 I would say to people, if you think what is happening right now is wrong

00:33:59.280 or it doesn't make sense to you, it's because it's wrong and it doesn't make sense.

00:34:03.340 You know, we have become divided.

00:34:06.400 The language that is being used has divided our nation, 0.95

00:34:10.080 you know, between the responsible and the irresponsible,

00:34:13.020 the anti-vaxxers and the sheep.

00:34:14.760 And we have to stop.

00:34:16.220 We have to stop that division.

00:34:19.280 We have to stop allowing that division to continue and grow.

00:34:24.160 We could end this tomorrow if we all decided to say no.

00:34:28.800 The government, public health, even our enforcement agencies

00:34:35.540 and businesses that are pushing these authoritarian policies

00:34:42.820 based on weak evidence at best have no power.

00:34:49.640 They need us more than we need them.

00:34:51.640 They cannot enforce COVID restrictions on every single citizen.

00:34:59.480 They need the people more than the people need them,

00:35:02.600 even when it comes to businesses.

00:35:04.280 If the employees walk off the job, the business fails.

00:35:08.600 The power is with the people at the ground level.

00:35:10.860 If we can move past this false narrative,

00:35:15.920 realize that we can all still cooperate and live together

00:35:20.200 and we're not all threats to each other's safety.

00:35:26.460 We can reunite and end this tomorrow if that's what we decide to do.

00:35:31.060 And all we have to do is just say no.

00:35:32.660 We're not doing this anymore.

00:35:34.020 We're not going to enforce COVID passports.

00:35:36.440 We're not going to force people to be vaccinated to come to work

00:35:40.300 when there are healthy individuals, right?

00:35:42.820 If you're sick, stay home.

00:35:45.920 Well, when I started this segment,

00:35:47.380 I talked about people I see in their car by themselves with the mask on

00:35:51.060 or waiting at a bus stop by themselves outside in the wind in the rain with the mask on.

00:35:55.280 And that tells me, unfortunately,

00:35:56.800 that there's so many people who have embraced this new way of living

00:36:01.320 that the idea of suddenly a popular uprising,

00:36:04.680 it remains far away, although not impossible,

00:36:07.320 as we can see from the streets of Melbourne.

00:36:10.340 Corporal Bulford, it's great to talk with you.

00:36:11.900 I wish you good luck and thanks for joining us today.

00:36:14.960 Thank you very much for your time.

00:36:16.460 All right. Our pleasure.

00:36:17.960 There you have it. Stay with us.

00:36:19.500 More ahead.

00:36:19.900 Hey, welcome back.

00:36:34.060 Your viewer feedback.

00:36:35.220 Scott Affleck says,

00:36:36.180 To the unjabbed up here in Canuckistan, 1.00

00:36:40.520 the 49th parallel might as well be like the Berlin Mall

00:36:43.240 when wanting to go to the U.S.

00:36:44.880 Add to it medical apartheid. 0.99

00:36:46.640 When it comes to daily life, it sucks. 0.97

00:36:48.700 Remember, no shirt, no shoes, no service. 0.97

00:36:50.740 Today's no shirt, no shoes, no papers, no service.

00:36:53.760 The new normal?

00:36:54.460 Well, listen, why would they stop if no one tries to stop them?

00:37:00.300 You see what's happened in Austria.

00:37:01.840 I showed you how they're literally just randomly accosting people

00:37:04.920 and demanding their papers.

00:37:06.260 That really is creepy to hear that in the German language.

00:37:09.440 But, I mean, Teresa Tam is again saying that you're going to need another booster

00:37:12.640 and you've got to wear your mask again.

00:37:14.280 These people simply will not stop if there is no countervailing force to them.

00:37:20.360 An anonymous person says,

00:37:22.620 After I've locked the front door and unplugged the phone, I feel okay.

00:37:27.880 Yeah, well, you know, one of my favorite artists, his name is Morrissey,

00:37:31.040 and he has this phrase in one of his songs called

00:37:34.080 Stop Watching the News because the news contrives to frighten you.

00:37:39.480 And I think there's a lot of truth there, but the trouble is in our business,

00:37:42.400 we can't stop watching the news.

00:37:43.580 We have to.

00:37:44.700 But we're going to do more than just watch the news.

00:37:46.340 We're going to try and fight the news.

00:37:47.400 We're going to try and change the world, and that's what we do at Rebel News.

00:37:50.180 We tell the other side of the story, but we also try to do something about it.

00:37:54.920 Well, that's the show for today.

00:37:56.720 Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters,

00:37:59.800 to you at home, good night, and keep fighting for freedom.

00:38:03.120 And I'm going to leave you now with a story about a group of people

00:38:06.560 who work for a company called Metrolinx,

00:38:09.300 and how we're trying to help them.

00:38:11.160 Here's Sheila with that video. 1.00

00:38:16.000 So the vaccine mandates, pretty much it's full of holes. 0.96

00:38:20.160 It's kind of ridiculous when you read it.

00:38:21.400 But the bottom line is everybody gets vaccinated by November 1st,

00:38:25.100 or you're put on unpaid leave for an unknown duration of time.

00:38:29.800 And we don't even know what unpaid leave is,

00:38:32.360 because, I mean, I don't even think that's a thing.

00:38:34.320 Doctors and nurses, fire, police, CMS,

00:38:38.060 take our trains into Toronto to be able to perform their jobs.

00:38:42.300 So, I mean, without us running trains, the whole thing starts to crumble.

00:38:46.220 Well, when I first started with the company,

00:38:47.900 I dealt with a lot of that had over 1,200 passengers stranded.

00:38:51.580 That was irresponsible.

00:38:53.000 With EMS, every day we had people having heart attacks,

00:38:56.080 we had overdoses,

00:38:56.880 because we have a lot of things that we're the first aid responders to,

00:38:59.660 just the three of us as a crew,

00:39:02.760 and the general public is relying on us.

00:39:05.800 I have not had one passenger even ask the question,

00:39:09.400 you know, are the employees going to be vaccinated?

00:39:12.920 Not one passenger in the last two years.

00:39:15.120 And I've been working throughout, you know,

00:39:17.180 quote, unquote, the peak of the pandemic.

00:39:19.260 Like, we've all been working, right?

00:39:21.820 So, to say that now you need to get a vaccine in order to work

00:39:26.120 is a little bit, I don't know, boggles my mind a bit.

00:39:30.180 So, the bottom line, that is what they're saying,

00:39:32.240 and as of that policy has come out, we haven't heard a thing.

00:39:35.920 So, every day we're going to work wondering if we're losing our jobs on the 1st,

00:39:39.120 and there hasn't been an email or a memo or a notice or nothing from anybody.

00:39:43.580 And the union doesn't really seem to be backing us, to be honest.

00:39:49.220 I know there's a lot of you that are scared out there

00:39:50.920 and that don't really want to say anything and don't know what to do,

00:39:53.640 but we're here.

00:39:55.320 So, we're not some kind of evil, demonized people.

00:39:59.480 We're the regular people that go to and from work.

00:40:01.360 We take you to and from your job every day safely.

00:40:04.640 And that's all we want is a fair shot,

00:40:07.120 and we just want our choice to be respected.

00:40:09.640 First of all, I think that this deadline is going to be moved.

00:40:12.900 Every other deadline that has been imposed by governments

00:40:16.740 or these corporations has been moved.

00:40:20.300 And I think that people who are listening to this

00:40:23.340 and who are fighting these battles should take heart in that.

00:40:27.780 These are small victories, but they are victories.

00:40:29.900 We're moving the needle.

00:40:32.080 We're fighting a very big, powerful foe that has a many-headed beast.

00:40:40.120 We're talking about mass media.

00:40:41.900 We're talking about government.

00:40:43.460 We're talking about social media.

00:40:46.300 And all of them working together in unison

00:40:50.600 to really suppress the rights of workers.

00:40:59.900 We're talking about health and what we're holding.

00:41:01.220 We're talking about government.

00:41:02.200 We're talking about social media.

00:41:02.840 We're talking about social media.

00:41:04.400 We're talking about social media.
