Hello, my friends. Today is the anniversary of 9-11. It's almost a quarter of a century. Can
00:00:05.240
you believe it? And I hate to say it, but I don't think we've learned a single lesson. We're making
00:00:09.140
all of the same mistakes again and worse. And one of the mistakes I want to talk to you about today
00:00:14.580
is mass immigration from countries that hate us. And I'll take you through the latest poll on that.
00:00:21.320
But first, let me invite you to become a subscriber of Rebel News Plus. That's the
00:00:24.680
video version of this podcast. Just go to rebelnewsplus.com, click subscribe. It's eight
00:00:29.360
a month. And you not only get the video version, but you support Rebel News because we don't get
00:00:34.040
any money from Trudeau. We've been demonetized by big tech companies like YouTube. So it's really
00:00:39.660
just you. But, you know, enough people chip in eight bucks here, eight bucks there, and we can
00:00:44.880
pay the whole company. That's how we pay our bills. All right, here's today's podcast.
00:00:59.360
Tonight, immigration reform goes mainstream. It's September 11th, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:17.560
It's September 11th, the terrible anniversary of the worst terrorist attack in modern history.
00:01:31.920
The day when Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners
00:01:38.780
packed with civilians, killed the pilots, and then careened the jets kamikaze style into civilian
00:01:45.100
targets. The first two were the enormous World Trade Center towers in New York City. The next one
00:01:50.620
was aimed at the Pentagon, and the last hijacked plane managed to learn, the passengers learn what
00:01:56.120
was going on, and they had a rebellion against the hijackers, and then in the end, the plane crashed
00:02:00.780
into a field. It's assumed that plane was targeting the U.S. Congress. It's hard to believe that ominous
00:02:09.600
day in 2001 is almost a quarter century ago now, and in many ways, we've learned nothing from it.
00:02:17.720
Everything that went wrong that day, all of the trends that combined into a terrible, perfect storm
00:02:23.440
are actually all worse now. The acceptance of Islamic extremism in our society, open borders, immigration,
00:02:32.040
politically correct prohibitions about talking about different cultures.
00:02:36.240
You know, I was in New York last year, and I went to the 9-11 Museum and Memorial, and I highly
00:02:42.200
recommend it. Even though I feel like I knew the story, I was so glad to go. It was very somber. It
00:02:48.280
was very sad, very infuriating, and you need to feel those things again. The highlight for me was the
00:02:54.440
tour guides, real New Yorkers who speak from the heart, and I loved deeply that they answered every single
00:03:01.860
question put to them, including questions that you might think would be, quote, offensive,
00:03:06.820
questions from 9-11 truthers. I was very impressed that they calmly and with facts and arguments
00:03:13.700
persuasively answered questions that 9-11 skeptics often ask, such as, can steel beams really melt in
00:03:21.260
the fire, and what about this building or that building? Not only did I learn a lot about 9-11 and
00:03:26.140
remember a lot that I had known, but I learned about the power of answering controversial questions
00:03:31.900
honestly, without anger, even hostile questions about things you're not supposed to question.
00:03:37.560
There's a free speech lesson there. The people who asked those conspiracy questions got a great answer,
00:03:44.660
and I think it probably turned them around more than just brushing them off. Here's what I said about
00:03:48.900
that to John Stossel when I did an interview with him about free speech a couple months ago.
00:03:53.480
If someone doesn't know about the Holocaust and wants to ask questions about it and is smashed down
00:04:01.080
and called you're a hater, you're an anti-Semite, that's probably not going to convince them that the
00:04:06.520
Holocaust was real. Whereas if you air the question out and have a debate and answer the questions.
00:04:11.720
I did a tour of the 9-11 Museum and Memorial in Manhattan, and in the Q&A with the tour guide,
00:04:20.580
everyone asked their conspiracy theories. I was actually shocked with the questions that were put
00:04:28.180
Can the CIA do this? Yeah. And how can metal burn? Like, how does steel, how does fire melt steel?
00:04:35.100
Like, every theory I'd ever heard in the corners of the internet, people put it to the tour guide.
00:04:40.780
And instead of saying, how dare you? That's disinformation. He calmly, and in a loving way,
00:04:47.520
actually, explained the answer. And I think it turned some minds around. And that's the analogy I would
00:04:54.820
use on the Holocaust. There are many conspiracy theories. It didn't happen. It was less than 6
00:04:59.640
million. It's a hoax. Okay, that's out there. Whether you ban the conversation or not, it's out
00:05:06.540
there. How about being like that wonderful tour guide at the 9-11 Museum and calmly proving and
00:05:12.380
answering and disabusing people of falsehoods? You're not going to convince everybody. But I left
00:05:18.200
thinking that guy knows his stuff. I trust him. And the tone in which he answered was compelling.
00:05:24.140
By the way, I don't think I've shared that full interview with you yet. I was a few months ago in
00:05:28.580
New York. I think it was a whole hour that interview about free speech. I think I did okay in it. We'll
00:05:34.120
have to play the whole thing for you one day. But back to my main point. I don't think we've learned
00:05:39.540
the lessons of 9-11, have we? Look at the appeasement of Islamic extremists today in 2024. It's much worse
00:05:47.360
than it was back in 2001. Because of mass immigration since then, it's like we deliberately
00:05:52.580
oversampled from the parts of the world where Islamic extremism is a problem. We've loaded up
00:05:58.780
on Islamic extremist immigrants. Not a week goes by in Canada where there's not another arrest of a
00:06:04.500
terrorist in the late planning stages. One of these days, we won't catch them in time. As Norm
00:06:11.360
McDonald joked, the late Norm McDonald, he said, what terrifies me is if ISIS were to detonate a nuclear
00:06:18.000
device and kill 50 million Americans, imagine the backlash against peaceful Muslims. He's so
00:06:24.000
funny, the late, great Norm McDonald. Not only did we not fix the old problems, we created new
00:06:32.360
problems. Instead, we brought in a massive surveillance state spying on us, not just our
00:06:36.980
foreign enemies. Violations of our civil liberties, so we just learned to accept. Like the security theater
00:06:42.320
at airports, it's never actually caught a terrorist. But we normalized violations of our privacy and even
00:06:48.360
having the government grope our personal bodies. Don't tell me that 20 years of airport groping
00:06:53.560
didn't desensitize the mass population to the government commandeering our bodies with their
00:06:59.600
COVID mandates. I mean, we gave up our body autonomy to be groped, didn't we? We're less free now. And we
00:07:07.400
didn't solve the actual problems of mass immigration and Islamic extremism. And we created new problems,
00:07:12.260
like trying to set up colonies in Afghanistan and Iraq, both of which have failed. I mean,
00:07:17.940
you really have to admit the terrorists have won. Which brings me to the subject of the day.
00:07:24.520
Mass immigration in 2024. At a level never before seen in Canada. Two million people a year Trudeau is
00:07:32.520
bringing in. Just astonishing. A million are foreign students. Obviously, most of those are fraudulent or
00:07:39.140
fake students. They're just paying tuition to come into the country. In addition to that, there's
00:07:44.400
three quarters of a million temporary foreign workers who aren't so temporary. And why are we
00:07:49.800
bringing them in? So that foreign multinationals like McDonald's or Tim Hortons, which is now owned
00:07:54.940
by a Brazil megafund, by the way, so they can save a buck an hour in salaries instead of hiring Canadian
00:08:01.340
workers. And then we take fake refugees. Sorry, there are no actual refugees from India or Mexico,
00:08:08.840
yet those are two of the biggest sources of refugees to this country. So you're not a refugee
00:08:14.540
from Mexico. I wouldn't want to live there. Parts of it I wouldn't mind, but you're not a refugee. It's
00:08:20.040
all a scam and we know it. Hey, did you see this insanity from Mark Miller, whose sole qualification
00:08:26.740
for being immigration minister is that he was in Trudeau's wedding party? Take a look at this.
00:08:31.760
I've been getting questions about an individual that entered Canada and has been arrested in charges
00:08:37.980
related to an attempt to cross the border for a terrorist plot. I can confirm that Mohammed Khan
00:08:46.440
is a Pakistani national who entered Canada on May or was issued a visa in May of 2023
00:08:54.300
and was given and entered Canada on the 24th of June of the same year, so 2023.
00:09:00.940
So yeah, he's in charge of not getting us killed. Good luck to us all. But people are getting fed up
00:09:07.000
by it. We're still scared, I suppose, a little bit of being called racist, but not so much. So we laugh
00:09:15.140
about things sometimes. Did you see the debate last night between Trump and Harris? Trump talking about
00:09:19.500
how Haitian migrants are allegedly raiding pets in the town of Springfield, Ohio?
00:09:24.980
They're eating the cats. They're eating the pets of the people that live there. And this is what's
00:09:33.020
happening in our country. And it's a shame. As far as rallies are concerned, as far as the reason
00:09:39.940
they go is they like what I say. They want to bring our country back. They want to make America great
00:09:45.640
again. It's a very simple phrase. Make America great again. She's destroying this country. And
00:09:50.940
if she becomes president, this country doesn't have a chance of success. Not only success,
00:09:59.780
Sort of funny, sort of crazy. It's a way of talking about immigration. By the way,
00:10:03.620
our David Menzies is on his way down to Springfield, Ohio, to see what's up. You can follow him
00:10:08.000
at a website we set up. I don't know if it's up now, but it'll be up by tomorrow,
00:10:12.140
called thetruthaboutspringfield.com. And in Canada, we all had a laugh, sort of,
00:10:19.200
about some of these millions of migrants just pooping on the beach because that's what they
00:10:26.260
And I told my kids, if we're going to go on the beach, watch out so you don't step in any
00:10:32.840
I've heard people are using tents and they're just like doing it in the sand so no one can
00:10:37.980
They're digging holes and they're pooping and putting tents up because they don't want to go to
00:10:41.000
the washrooms. And I'm here to fact check that because that's not a lie, so.
00:10:45.420
It makes me not want to swim and not want to be on the beach.
00:10:48.720
To be a responsible parent, you should be showing your kids that you can actually throw out their
00:10:52.620
diaper in the washroom, not bury it at a beach.
00:10:55.220
Something that's just common sense, like, why would you do that? And they dig a hole
00:11:02.300
Can you imagine the police going to someone's home because you're talking about pooping on
00:11:07.720
the beach? Not you're doing pooping on the beach, but you're complaining about it.
00:11:11.300
So the police come to give you a lecture and a threat because you're racist or something.
00:11:17.960
Even the Conservative Party, which is usually terrified to talk about immigration, is finally
00:11:25.300
We will also secure our borders to make sure that never again do accused ISIS terrorists
00:11:32.940
get into our country and become citizens of Canada, even after the existence of a video
00:11:41.260
apparently showing that same terrorist mutilating a human body on a crucifix during the ISIS war
00:11:51.300
of over a decade ago. These are the kinds of disastrous mistakes, radical approaches of
00:12:00.080
the Liberal government that must end so that we can replace their costly incompetence with
00:12:07.260
But let me show you a poll by Leger, which has very interesting stats in it. Here's the poll
00:12:12.160
itself, as you can see, was commissioned by the National Post. It actually came out two weeks ago,
00:12:16.900
but I think it's still very current, the numbers. The sample size was about 1,600
00:12:20.940
people. Look at page five, some of these summary points. Two-thirds of Canadians, 65%, believe
00:12:27.360
the government of Canada will admit too many immigrants. Only 20% think it will admit the
00:12:33.180
right amount, while 3% believe it will not admit enough. Not enough? Who's saying that?
00:12:41.060
I guess those are the immigration lawyers. And look at the next point. Pretty obvious math,
00:12:45.520
though. Trudeau and Christiana Freeland and Mark Miller don't know it. A majority of Canadians
00:12:49.820
believe that the current immigration rates are contributing to the housing crisis, 78%. To
00:12:56.120
stresses on health care services, 76% think that. And Canada's immigration policy is too
00:13:02.800
generous, 72%. Sort of a mixed bag on Gaza refugees, which I think is insane, which shows we've forgotten
00:13:10.840
9-11, haven't we? But 64% of people are not confident that the government of Canada is thoroughly
00:13:17.820
screening immigrants from the Middle East. So that implies 36% are fine with it. They must be
00:13:25.320
diluted. Look at page 19 of the poll. Just 26% of Canadians think the government does a good job
00:13:32.440
checking the background of new immigrants. Of course they don't. In fact, there really are
00:13:37.700
no checks at all. There's no background checks, no meetings. You used to have an interview to become
00:13:43.920
a Canadian. Not anymore. You just fill out a form online. I mean, you can't do 2 million interviews
00:13:49.780
a year, so they do zero interviews a year. I should point out that these poll numbers worried about
00:13:56.320
immigration are vastly higher than the support for any single party. 60, 70% are opposed. And this is
00:14:04.920
uniform across the country. Men and women, Quebec, English Canada, Atlantic, whatever. Everyone
00:14:10.680
is united on this. And by the way, I don't even think people know how bad the problem is. One of
00:14:15.720
the things this poll shows is that most people don't even know about the temporary foreign workers
00:14:19.600
program. If you were to tell people that we're bringing in foreign workers to undercut people
00:14:25.000
on the first rung of the ladder, of the career ladder, they'd be appalled. And if you talk about,
00:14:30.500
and by the way, this poll is only about legal immigration. It doesn't even talk about illegal
00:14:36.280
immigration, the people who walked across the border at Roxham Road, and the frauds and tricksters
00:14:41.780
who claim they're refugees from places like India and Mexico. Yeah. As I said a moment ago,
00:14:48.780
I think we've learned nothing from 9-11. Stay with us for more.
00:15:06.280
Well, the Justin Trudeau liberals can be so unoriginal. I remember when they tried to frame
00:15:12.740
the 2022 trucker convoy to Ottawa as a January 6th insurrection. Oh, they wanted that to happen
00:15:20.560
because they had watched the playbook south of the border that the Democrats and their friends
00:15:25.120
in the media had used quite successfully. Alas, that didn't work because the truckers didn't break
00:15:31.000
into anything. They were outside in the cold. It was the most peaceful, large protest in Canadian
00:15:37.660
history. I think one of the reasons why Trudeau's framing didn't work, frankly, was because of
00:15:42.740
independent media like Rebel News. The rest of the media were in on it. They wanted that to be terrified
00:15:49.760
of the truckers. But when you saw the bouncy castles and the hot tubs, it was just hard to be scared.
00:15:54.900
Had that festival feeling, as I say. Well, one of the other plays from the Democratic
00:16:00.900
Party playbook in the States is to talk about Russia, Russia, Russia, and to accuse anyone who
00:16:07.560
disagrees with Justin Trudeau of anything of being in collusion with Vladimir Putin. And it's sort of
00:16:14.400
tough to defend against the accusation that you're in league with a foreign enemy. And I know this from
00:16:20.680
personal experience. You might remember that a couple of years ago, one of Justin Trudeau's
00:16:24.980
disinformation czars, he's a professor at the University of Calgary named Jean-Christophe Boucher,
00:16:30.200
published a bogus study where he claimed to look at which Twitter accounts were pro-Putin. But the
00:16:38.860
measurements he used were absurd. Like, if you oppose Justin Trudeau, you are pro-Putin. Yeah,
00:16:45.680
no, about 80% of Canadians oppose Trudeau. And we're not all looking for Russia. But it's that
00:16:51.600
DNC, Democratic Party playbook they're trying to use. Again, it doesn't really work. Remember when
00:16:59.220
the CBC actually claimed that the truckers were in league with Putin. Remember that?
00:17:04.260
I do ask that because, you know, given Canada's support of Ukraine in this current crisis with
00:17:11.020
Russia, I don't know if it's far-fetched to ask. But there is concern that Russian actors could be
00:17:18.800
continuing to fuel things as this protest grows, but perhaps even instigating it from the outset.
00:17:26.920
Well, again, I'm going to defer to our partners in the public safety, the trained officials and
00:17:33.160
experts in that area. Well, I don't think people take that seriously anymore. But I guess word hasn't
00:17:39.300
gone through the dumber regions of the Liberal caucus. Because the other day, a Liberal MP of
00:17:45.780
no great repute, named Mark Gerritsen, tweeted an accusation at an independent conservative-leaning
00:17:54.560
journalist who happens to be Russian in ethnicity, accusing her of being a paid Russian asset. Not
00:18:03.880
expressing it as an opinion, but saying as a fact that Cat for Canada, who works for the counter-signal,
00:18:13.580
is, well, let me read the tweet to you directly. He said, I finally blocked someone on here.
00:18:19.960
I draw the line at a foreign government paying you to engage with me. Parliament needs to study this,
00:18:28.080
and this person needs to be brought before committee to answer questions. So it's not phrased as a matter
00:18:35.580
of opinion or speculation. It's phrased as a matter of fact, that Cat for Canada is not just a legitimate
00:18:44.740
opposition conservative journalist and activist in Canada, but rather a Russian asset. And joining
00:18:52.400
me now via Skype from Nanaima is Cat for Canada, also known as Cat Panova. Great to see you, Cat.
00:18:58.380
And I'm sorry that this idiot liberal MP is accusing you of being disloyal to Canada and in league with a
00:19:06.900
foreign dictator. But what I like about you, and you work for Counter-Signal, which is of course a
00:19:12.420
product of alumnus Kian Bexty, is that you guys aren't taking this lying down. You're not rolling over,
00:19:19.220
are you? No. Thanks for having me, Ezra. Yeah, we have sent Mark Gerritsen a demand letter
00:19:26.320
with certain demands of ours. People can see that on Kian's page, on my page, on the Counter-Signals
00:19:33.280
page. And we do not want to back down because what he's done is egregious. He has used his public
00:19:42.340
office to attack a citizen who is essentially his opponent in terms of politics. And we don't want to
00:19:52.200
let him get away with it. We want to hold him accountable. So that's what we're doing. That's
00:19:57.060
our plan. And I hope people support us in that regard. You know, about a week and a half ago,
00:20:03.500
there was a news item out of the United States. Their Department of Justice is trying to prosecute
00:20:10.020
two Russian nationals who are setting up a covert media company in the United States. It's very
00:20:16.500
interesting, very curious. And there were two Canadians involved with it. One was named Lauren
00:20:22.880
Southern, an alumna of ours, and one is named Lauren Chen. You're obviously not part of that
00:20:30.080
organization. And I think what happened here is Mark Gerritsen saw what was happening in the States
00:20:35.900
and said, uh-huh, I'm just going to extrapolate. I'm just going to, it's cool again to accuse people
00:20:42.240
of being Russian spies. I don't like this cat for Canada, Cat Panova. I'm just going to say it.
00:20:49.740
And really, who's going to fact check me? The CBC? The CBC never fact checks liberals. So he,
00:20:55.260
it's not that he said, oh, Cat Panova is sympathetic to Russia. And I don't really think you are
00:21:00.920
sympathetic to Putin. It's not that he said, I think, or I believe, or it looks like. He said
00:21:07.320
categorically that you are paid by Putin to basically engage and harass liberals. Like he
00:21:14.660
just, he just made up a fact and, and, and then said, because of that false fact, you ought to be
00:21:20.400
subpoenaed before the committee. Like that's, that's just such an astonishingly reckless thing
00:21:25.200
for a grownup to say, let alone a member of parliament. I can't believe he did it. What was he,
00:21:30.740
did he think that no one would push back? Or do you think he, you would just roll over? What do you
00:21:35.120
think was going through his mind? Right. Yeah. So I think, um, the biggest issue on top of him
00:21:41.940
defaming me is, as I said, his abuse of public office, um, in terms of what was going through
00:21:48.360
his mind, obviously I can only speculate. Um, I don't view Mark Gerritsen as a particularly,
00:21:54.020
uh, sophisticated intellectually. I think he landed in his role, um, with some fortune by being close
00:22:00.880
to Trudeau most likely. And, um, you know, uh, as I said, I can only speculate what his motivations
00:22:08.020
were. All I can say is that it's absolutely not true. And it's kind of disappointing to see a member
00:22:15.860
of parliament to espouse such lies without doing any due diligence in terms of checking his facts.
00:22:23.260
He didn't message me. He didn't bother doing any fact checking whatsoever. He just stated a lie as a
00:22:28.640
fact. And that's egregious. This kind of thing, you know, is, was pretty common for the country
00:22:35.560
that I came from a communist country of USSR, where, you know, people were free to smear anyone
00:22:42.420
they liked without any accountability and any repercussions, but we're not going to let him
00:22:47.560
get away with that. We are going to hold his feet to the fire and hopefully get some justice out of this
00:22:54.420
because this is just unacceptable for a country that's supposed to be free, democratic, Western,
00:23:00.300
like Canada, a country that I love, a country that took me in after my own country would, you know,
00:23:06.720
persecute me for saying things that they didn't agree with. You know, I think that there's an ethnic
00:23:12.140
angle here too, because you're ethnically Russian. I think you're from Moldova originally, if I'm not
00:23:16.340
mistaken, to be accused of being secretly in league, secretly paid by Putin. It, it's in a way, it's an
00:23:26.520
ethnic attack. Oh, you're not actually a true Canadian. You're loyal to a foreign power. You're,
00:23:31.900
you're secretly taking money under the table. It would be like if someone said, Ezra, you're not
00:23:36.500
actually pro Hamas. You're just getting paid by Benjamin Netanyahu to say propaganda. It would sort
00:23:43.400
of undermine, I mean, obviously that's not true, but if someone were to make that accusation
00:23:47.620
and say, I know for a fact you are being paid by Netanyahu to undermine, like the accusation of dual
00:23:54.540
loyalty, you're a Jew, so you're not really loyal to Canada. That's what they're doing to you. And
00:24:00.280
again, it's not that they're saying, oh, it looks like it, or maybe, or he's saying it as an
00:24:06.040
incontrovertible fact. You know what? Members of parliament and senators have pure immunity. They
00:24:15.020
have absolute privilege for what they say in parliament. You can get up in parliament and
00:24:20.840
accuse someone of murder falsely. You'll be disciplined by the speaker, but you can't be
00:24:25.580
sued in defamation law. So maybe he's used to saying stupid things because no one can touch you when you're
00:24:32.460
in parliament. But on Twitter, you say stupid things. Most of the time, people just laugh at you.
00:24:37.300
But he's defamed you. And I hope you go after him, by the way, the way that we're suing that Jean-Christophe
00:24:45.860
Boucher for accusing us of being Russian assets. Yeah, so that's the plan. As I've said, we've sent
00:24:53.140
her a demand letter, and I hope we can pursue it further. If he doesn't fold, we will pursue it further
00:24:59.640
because, you know, being defamed obviously doesn't feel good. And it's not a huge issue when it's some
00:25:07.780
random anonymous troll on X who's just tweeting at you with not much of an audience or anything like
00:25:15.120
that. But it's a whole other story when it's a member of parliament coming after a citizen without
00:25:23.620
any evidence and making such egregious accusations. And, you know, I'm just a girl on Twitter. I'm a
00:25:32.280
single mom. And, you know, there has been some extremely unpleasant backlash after Gerritsen has
00:25:39.500
posted that tweet. And to say the least, it doesn't feel good. You know, and at worst, I feel a little
00:25:47.160
bit unsafe sometimes because of my political views because it's, you know, the people on the left feel
00:25:54.460
very emboldened to attack people and say egregious things about you if they don't agree with you
00:25:59.380
politically. So it's quite concerning. Yeah. Well, after you and Kim Beckstein, I actually wrote a tweet
00:26:07.900
about this subject myself. I have too much familiarity with defamation law. I think Garrison sort of either he
00:26:15.280
got spooked or someone said, yeah, buddy, you've, you've gone too far. And so he deleted the original
00:26:20.240
tweet, but he didn't apologize and he didn't retract and he didn't correct. He wrote some, well, let me
00:26:26.560
just show you what he wrote. He said, okay, my language may not have been that clear. I find Kat
00:26:33.740
Canada's, and he put the wrong name there, content to be divisive, alarmist, and deeply offensive.
00:26:40.520
The Press Progress report of the video of Katrina with Lauren Southern and Press Progress's report
00:26:46.360
of the video's alleged connection to a Russian influence campaign is deeply alarming. And then
00:26:53.200
he says, I'm not interested in interacting with or amplifying that kind of division. So I'm going to
00:27:00.720
be blocking Katrina because of her connection to that mess. I am not alleging that Katrina herself
00:27:07.560
was paid by the Russians. Well, actually that's exactly what he did allege. And he's saying,
00:27:14.100
you're connected to the mess. Like he, he sort of restates it. He pretends that he wasn't clear.
00:27:22.300
I don't think he's taken legal advice. What he did there did not undo the damage of over 150,000
00:27:30.140
people saying the original, I think you got to sue. You know, I mean, maybe people occasionally say,
00:27:35.840
Ezra, you're too litigious. Well, when politicians do bad things, like when Stephen Gilboa and others
00:27:40.980
block citizens from Twitter, when David Lamedi trying to destroy public records, sometimes you
00:27:47.220
have to go to court to get these people's attention because they just ignore you when all you do is use
00:27:53.280
your voice. I don't know. I hope you go through with it. I hope you take this guy to task. Just not just to
00:27:59.580
cure him of his slanders, but as a message to other liberal MPs and other politicians of all stripe, that
00:28:10.440
Absolutely. Yeah. So I hope that we can pursue this matter to the full extent, because I do want to hold
00:28:17.600
people like that to account, because I don't want to let them get away with smearing the average
00:28:22.140
citizen over and over without any repercussion. Because, you know, if we let them get away with
00:28:27.460
it once, we let them get away with it twice, three times, then they can just, you know, say whatever
00:28:33.020
they want to say. And if we don't fight back, they can just say, well, they didn't fight back. It must be
00:28:37.900
true. So I don't want to give him any inches to smear Canadian citizens and to push lies about
00:28:46.840
a person without even doing any basic fact checking. And so our plan is to push it as much
00:28:55.080
as we can to hold Gerritsen to account. And hopefully that will be a warning for anyone else who would be
00:29:01.960
so carelessly willing to smear the average Canadian just because they oppose them politically, Ezra.
00:29:07.320
Yeah. You know, I see this a lot from Trudeau, from Christopher Freeland. They really like to
00:29:13.280
accuse their critics, like they accuse Pierre Polyev all the time of being a Putin asset. And I think
00:29:19.080
it's just sort of the go-to slur in the Liberal Party. And if you sue Gerritsen for yourself, I think
00:29:26.700
that'll chill out all the liberals that say, oh, so you get sued if you say that falsely. We should be
00:29:34.260
more careful in what we accuse people. I hope you sue, because I think it'll cure the whole liberal
00:29:40.220
government of this slander. And it'll probably save many other people from being... And the thing is,
00:29:47.100
it causes damage. Because you're denounced. As a professional, people don't take you seriously
00:29:53.300
anymore. As a person, maybe some people doubt your ethnic loyalty to the country. I think it was a
00:30:00.120
really nasty thing. Last word to you, you got your crowdfunding the litigation at suegerritsen.com.
00:30:07.100
Am I right? What's next? Are you waiting for him to respond? What happens if he doesn't
00:30:13.220
give in to your demands by the deadline? Yes. So, yes. If he doesn't fold after our initial demands
00:30:22.760
that we sent in, we plan to pursue this. If people want to chip in to help us out, because we don't
00:30:31.580
have endless piles of taxpayer money to burn through like the Trudeau liberals do, people can support us
00:30:38.800
at suegerritsen.com if they want to help us win this fight and if they want to help us hold Gerritsen to
00:30:46.520
account. And yeah, we're just hoping that people are supporting us. We're hoping people can donate
00:30:54.620
because, as I said, it's very expensive. And we want to pursue this to the fullest extent possible.
00:31:01.140
Well, I believe in using lawyers in battles. It's probably because I'm a former lawyer myself.
00:31:08.380
And also, I see that other means the liberals are impervious to. They don't care what grassroots
00:31:15.280
people say. They don't even care what independent journalists say. But a lawsuit seems to clarify
00:31:21.420
their mind sometimes. Kat, great to see you again. Thanks for taking the time. And it's nice to chat
00:31:26.880
with you. I like the fact that you guys stand up to the liberals. We do too, which is why we're always
00:31:32.500
battling them in the court of opinion as well as the court of law. We'll keep following you on Twitter also.
00:31:38.040
See you later. Thanks, Edra. Right on. Great to see you. There you have it. And I don't know,
00:31:43.620
that Mark Gerritsen, he looks a little, I think he looks afraid, if I can say so. And it's a good
00:31:50.800
Hey, welcome back. Your letters to me. You seem to like our reports from Brazil. Seth Latchford said,
00:32:09.620
love the Brazilians. I like them too. I had never been to South America before. And I didn't know
00:32:16.420
what to expect. And Sao Paulo is such a massive city. Imagine 20 million people in the greater
00:32:21.460
Sao Paulo area. It's, we went up on our last day, we just went up to a tall building and looked out
00:32:28.240
to the observation deck. And it was just skyscrapers and towers and apartments. As far
00:32:34.180
as the eye could see, it's just astonishing how big it is. And I was sort of surprised how few people
00:32:39.380
spoke English there. It's their own world, though. You got almost a quarter of a billion Brazilians
00:32:44.020
speak in Portuguese. I mean, I suppose some of them listen to Taylor Swift and get English through
00:32:49.060
movies, but they have their own music. They have their own movies. And I like how interesting the
00:32:55.120
people look, different races and backgrounds, and they all seem to mix very freely together. It felt,
00:33:02.000
I don't know, I was excited. Of course, I only based that on two days there. What I really liked
00:33:07.100
was how 200,000 people came to fight for freedom. I hope one day we have 200,000 people fighting for
00:33:12.960
freedom in Canada. But I hope we never let it get as bad as they did in Brazil. Next letter from
00:33:18.180
someone named GGFD. Letter says, Justin Trudeau suggests that freezing innocent people's accounts
00:33:24.760
is the best way forward. Just ask Klaus, his boss. You know, it's very interesting because down there
00:33:30.140
in Brazil, there's this authoritarian president named Lula. He's got a longer name, but they all call
00:33:38.140
him Lula. He was president once before. Then he was jailed. He's president again. But the real
00:33:46.860
activist extremist, everyone seems to tell us, is this judge, this hunter-killer judge named
00:33:56.140
Alexander de Moraes. And he has these secret trials where he would mete out punishments to the
00:34:04.080
political enemies of Lula. And since Twitter wasn't going along with his rulings, this judge
00:34:10.820
just banned Twitter. And you might say, well, who cares? Twitter's a waste of time. And it's just like,
00:34:15.860
it's just candy. It's just a social media that's BS. Well, that's where the opposition would organize.
00:34:22.180
And they went to Twitter because unlike, for example, WhatsApp or Instagram or Facebook,
00:34:28.720
which are controlled by Mark Zuckerberg, who's happy to censor, Elon Musk refused to censor. So it was
00:34:35.460
very interesting how many people there were talking about Elon Musk. So yeah, Klaus Schwab maybe, but
00:34:41.500
really the battles between the Alexander de Moraes, this out of control judge activist, and the freedom
00:34:51.860
of the people. It was very interesting. I had never used a VPN before. I don't know if you saw my note on
00:34:57.660
that. A VPN stands for a virtual private network. It's a way for your phone to sort of trick the
00:35:03.820
system to think you're actually logging in from a different country. Like if you turn on your phone
00:35:08.460
and your internet, the whole world that's following your phone knows you're in Canada. But you can use
00:35:14.360
a VPN to make it look, to route the internet traffic through any country. You can literally choose
00:35:21.740
any country in the world. So when I went down there, I set my phone to look like I was in
00:35:27.280
Argentina. So I could get on Twitter that way. Now, a lot of Brazilians started to do that. And so they made a
00:35:34.480
$9,000 fine if you use the VPN. But can I give you a shout out? You know, I never do this. I never do a brand
00:35:42.220
advertisement on my show. But I want to tell you about this VPN because I actually had to use it. And it worked.
00:35:50.140
First of all, it's called PIA VPN. That's what it's called. PIAvpn.com. And I downloaded it with
00:35:58.800
two clicks of a button. And then like I said, I just pushed the button for Argentina. And it was on.
00:36:05.980
I didn't have to do anything. I didn't have to mess with any settings. I'm not that great technology
00:36:12.780
wise. And I figured this out on my own really quick. We have a deal with PIAvpn.com. And this
00:36:20.760
is the ad part I was warning you about. If you go to PIAvpn.com slash rebel news, not only do you get a
00:36:28.500
big discount, but we actually get a commission if you sign up for the PIA VPN. And I think I don't
00:36:34.280
think I would be doing this little pitch if I hadn't used the system myself. And it worked.
00:36:41.220
It got around that judge. I was using Twitter in Brazil, despite this tyrannical judge saying it's
00:36:49.260
banned because I was using the PIA VPN. So this is a real testimonial. It worked. And God forbid
00:36:58.720
they try and do that to us in Canada. We'll use the VPNs also. They sort of are doing that to us
00:37:04.980
right now. Try and get Canadian news on Facebook and Instagram. You'll see it's blocked. So that's
00:37:10.560
what you use the VPN for. Anyways, I'm talking too much about VPNs, but I really had never used one
00:37:15.220
before in my life. And you had to use it in Brazil. And I felt slightly naughty. You know, I felt sort of
00:37:22.080
safe where I was, but I could theoretically see a situation where I would be charged or even,
00:37:27.700
God forbid, arrested for using a VPN. That's the show for today. Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of
00:37:33.760
us here at Rebel World Headquarters, see you at home. Good night and keep fighting for freedom.
