Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ Canada’s airports enter a total melt-down. And Trudeau doesn’t care.

00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. Today, I'm going to take you through the absolute fiasco that is Toronto's

00:00:05.880 international airport. It's called Pearson Airport. Just an incredible mess. And I want

00:00:10.580 to show it to you through the eyes of an American journalist who tells his unbelievable story.

00:00:19.420 And I'll also quote from a former Air Canada executive, show you his point of view. Very,

00:00:24.720 very interesting. And I got lots to say because, of course, I haven't been allowed on a plane in

00:00:29.200 quite a while, along with millions of other Canadians. That's ahead. I think it's a fun

00:01:21.420 Tonight, Canada's airports enter a total meltdown and Trudeau doesn't care. It's June 7th,

00:01:27.780 and this is the Ezra Levant Show. Shame on you, you censorious bug.

00:01:44.380 I haven't flown on a plane in a very long time. When we sent a team of journalists to Davos,

00:01:50.660 Switzerland a few weeks ago to cover the World Economic Forum and the World Health Organization

00:01:54.340 Assembly, you might have noticed that none of them were Canadians. Our reporters were from Australia,

00:02:00.280 the United Kingdom and America, because our Canadians are banned from flying. It's outrageous.

00:02:06.220 It's illegal. It's unconstitutional. It's treating healthy people like sick people. It's

00:02:11.980 treating innocent people like guilty people. And it makes no sense. It is now conventional wisdom.

00:02:19.060 It's well-documented that even people who take the COVID vaccines can still get sick and can still pass

00:02:26.120 the illness on to others. It would meet no traditional definition of a vaccine. Here's the

00:02:32.540 biggest vaccine monger himself saying so. The idea of checking if people are vaccinated,

00:02:37.600 you know, if you have breakthrough infections, what's the point?

00:02:41.200 Makes even less sense given that the unvaccinated can still travel on buses, which aren't as well 1.00

00:02:49.640 ventilated and obviously take a lot longer, keeping people together a lot longer than a plane would.

00:02:55.720 There's no science here. No other country in the world does this, with the possible exception of

00:03:01.200 China. But I'm not even sure about that. The fact that the entire establishment in Canada just

00:03:07.980 accepts this is deeply depressing and it shows just how shallow the roots of liberty have become

00:03:14.380 in our Canadian soil. So it's with a small degree of schadenfreude, that's a German word for

00:03:21.060 taking joy in someone else's misery, that I see stories like this from airports, especially the

00:03:27.520 Toronto airport. Now, I have no malice towards those who are flying while I am not allowed to do so.

00:03:33.180 I don't wish to deny them their right to choose to take the jab, just as I don't want my own right

00:03:39.660 not to take the jab to be denied. But if I'm in the cast of untouchables, if I'm segregated,

00:03:47.880 if I'm a second-class citizen, I can at least comfort myself by knowing that those who have

00:03:54.000 complied with Trudeau's demands, whether for their own reasons or his reasons, they're not really doing

00:04:00.360 a lot of flying themselves. Because look at that, look at our airports, they are in a meltdown.

00:04:05.240 Look at this video from yesterday. This is an American. I think he used to be an NHL player. He's

00:04:11.200 a sports journalist for Barstool Sports, great guys. He was simply trying to get home from Edmonton to

00:04:17.640 Boston. Listen to this story, this video, as I say this, by the way, has had just under two million

00:04:26.260 views in the past day. It's a tweet. He says, I live at Toronto Pearson International Airport,

00:04:33.780 the worst place on earth. I smell so bad. Watch the video.

00:04:38.800 Hey guys, Whit here. I don't even really know where to explain. So for people telling me to drive,

00:04:48.300 I can't drive. They have my bags, they won't give them back. So I had Edmonton to Toronto

00:04:53.640 yesterday. I landed around three. I then had Toronto to Boston at 8.30. Customs was about three hours,

00:05:00.700 got through, flight canceled from Toronto to Boston. All right. At this point, now I go and I see there

00:05:08.240 is a 400 person line with two Air Canada workers. There's a million canceled flights. Everyone's

00:05:14.700 just panicking. So I waited in that line about six hours. At near the end of the line,

00:05:21.600 LA, you know how much my feet hurt? But at near the end of the line, they closed it. They just said,

00:05:27.720 oh, you have to go somewhere else. We had to reenter Canada. We'd go through Canadian customs.

00:05:31.860 So by the time I finally see someone from Air Canada, it's 1am. I said, can I just get my bags?

00:05:38.440 I had a ride to Buffalo all set up and I had a jet blue flight from Buffalo. I just need to get out

00:05:43.500 of this country, out of this airport. This is the worst airport on earth. I'm telling you,

00:05:48.660 there's no other airport like this. So they say, no, no, no, you can't have your bags. Your bags are

00:05:55.460 already like in the middle and no man's land. You can't have your bags. So we have a 8.50 flight for

00:06:00.600 you from Toronto, Boston for this morning. This is last, this is at 1am. Okay. I be here at 5am.

00:06:07.080 They said, so I got here at 4.55. I wanted to be five minutes early. So I wanted to be three hours

00:06:12.480 and 55 minutes early. I get here. This woman says, oh, we booked you actually on a flight from

00:06:19.320 here to Montreal and then Montreal to Boston. But that leaves in 50 minutes and you can't make it.

00:06:24.640 They never sent me an email. They just, I started laughing. I mean, what are you,

00:06:30.700 what are you going to do? It was either that or like cry. So now I'm on a, so now I'm on a 10am,

00:06:40.800 but there's nobody really around the gate. Um, yeah, I'm just, I'm so in shock at this place.

00:06:48.960 It is the biggest disgrace known to man. He had other videos too on the same subject.

00:06:57.860 He says, Pearson airport is hell on earth. The worst of the worst. This is customs line to reenter

00:07:05.880 Canada after I went through U S customs seven hours ago. Now, if you don't understand why you would be

00:07:12.800 doing that, you're not alone. A number of people said, what are you talking about? And here's

00:07:17.940 Whitney's attempt to explain it. He says, bro, that is the line for Canadian customs. I arrived

00:07:25.940 from Edmonton and went through U S customs in Toronto. The flight was then canceled. Air Canada

00:07:32.860 brought us to no man's land and waited for six hours in line to then have to reenter Canada after we

00:07:40.420 were given new flights. Can you believe that? He had to go through customs. He was flying from

00:07:46.140 Edmonton to go through American customs, but then Canadian to get back. Can you believe that?

00:07:53.900 It had a few more tweets that were painful and unbelievable, except he was showing it. Um,

00:07:59.980 here's how it finally, finally ended. He says, it's over. I want to thank everyone for their T's and

00:08:08.560 peace, thoughts and prayers and the amazing chicklets. That's what he calls his listeners

00:08:12.520 who reached out to help best fans on earth. The exact opposite of Pearson international airport.

00:08:19.520 God bless anyone who ever has to step foot in that hell hole.

00:08:26.360 I'm not sure if those are the words of someone who is in a rush to come back to Canada. And of course,

00:08:32.560 even if he was in a rush to come back to Canada, it sounds like he couldn't come in a rush.

00:08:37.340 He would be trapped in a Kafkaesque nightmare of lineups. I was reading about schadenfreude. It's

00:08:44.360 a weird word, isn't it? Lots of big, long German words like that. Gloating is probably the closest

00:08:49.520 word in English. And psychologists say that schadenfreude comes from three things, aggression

00:08:55.760 or rivalry or justice. Aggression is in you, you hate someone. You want to see him fail. It's just,

00:09:04.260 you know, you don't like someone. Or rivalry. That's it. You have a competitor. So it's personal.

00:09:09.300 And then the third one, justice. It's sort of like karma. You think he had it coming. Ah,

00:09:14.000 you know, there's some justice in the world. Now, none of those three things apply here,

00:09:17.960 right? I mean, this seems like a good guy. I'm not aggressive towards him. He's a foreign 1.00

00:09:22.380 reporter who had the worst travel experience of his life. So I guess I take it back.

00:09:27.740 I don't feel schadenfreude watching his story. I'm not taking joy from his suffering. I'm not a rival

00:09:34.900 of his. There's no justice in it. What's he got to do with it at all, actually? He's an American who

00:09:40.880 wanted to visit us. Seems like a fun guy, actually. Any of the worst experience, and now millions of

00:09:48.400 people know about it. What a laugh. Just a week ago, the transport minister, Omar al-Jabra,

00:09:57.320 launched some lame government PR attempt to rekindle international tourism in Canada.

00:10:04.680 Yeah, like you can have a little Twitter ad, but I don't think that's going to rebut

00:10:10.020 millions of people watching Whitney's videos, especially Americans seeing and hearing the truth

00:10:15.520 for themselves. And I don't think even really, you know, feel schadenfreude for Canadians who are

00:10:21.620 flying. I mean, why should they be punished for wanting to get back to normal like we all do?

00:10:27.360 The fact that Trudeau treats them like first-class citizens legally, and he treats me and millions of

00:10:35.540 others as second-class citizens, it's not really the fault of the first-class citizens. I mean,

00:10:40.340 it might be nice to see a bit of solidarity, but really, if the people whose job it is to stand up

00:10:47.160 for civil liberties, if they don't, why should you expect normal people to do so? The media,

00:10:53.140 they don't care. The courts, they don't care. The public health doctors, they don't care. The airlines

00:10:57.300 themselves, if they're silent, why should a normal person speak out? I mean, to do the right thing is

00:11:03.740 the answer, of course. But what about those who are literally duty-bound to fight against this

00:11:10.040 injustice? Where's the CEO of Air Canada himself? We saw that brave tweet from the WestJet CEO the

00:11:17.960 other day. Remember, he's new to the job, new to Canada. I think he only started in February, so

00:11:22.700 he doesn't even know that the Canadian way is to be compliant and submissive. Air Canada knows that

00:11:29.340 better than anyone's so much for corporate citizenship in Canada. That just means being

00:11:34.960 obedient. I thought this was a riveting statement by a tourism official, though. The bravest thing I

00:11:42.020 had heard to that point. You take a listen for a minute. This is really about facilitating the smooth

00:11:48.340 travel process. So this is backing up arrivals at our border. You're talking about, you know,

00:11:54.700 if you just take the example of Pearson, 30,000 people coming through per day through our international

00:12:00.640 arrivals into our facility. And it would normally take a customs agent 30 seconds to process that

00:12:06.620 passenger when they're at their desk. It's, you know, it should take an international standard would

00:12:11.420 be about 20 minutes to get through the line. And we're seeing much longer lines. We're seeing

00:12:15.680 people backed up waiting on planes anywhere from 30 up to 75 minutes at peak times. So this is just

00:12:23.060 unacceptable in terms of entry into Canada. And the reason is, is because each person has to be 0.99

00:12:29.600 vetted in terms of health questions that are asked multiple times, both in the arrive can app, also at

00:12:36.440 the machine by the customs agent at the desk. And then we need to decide, or the government agency needs

00:12:42.620 to decide who is going to be randomly selected for testing. 4000 people a day are randomly selected for

00:12:49.820 testing. But we need to vet all 30,000 of those passengers into Pearson, 50,000 into our country.

00:12:56.360 It's slowing down the process in terms of smooth arrivals into our country. Our airports were not

00:13:02.160 built to facilitate public health requirements. They were built for the smooth, you know, transiting

00:13:08.060 of passengers welcoming, welcoming into our country. So this is really what's backing up the system at our

00:13:14.240 international arrival. She's so right. There are mass public health facilities in the world.

00:13:20.680 Ellis Island, as a place in New York City, near the Statue of Liberty, where new immigrants to America

00:13:27.500 over a century ago, were inspected for disease and quarantined when they arrived by ship from Europe.

00:13:34.200 A mass health inspection station, a mass immigration station, and a jail. All in one, you know, 12 million

00:13:45.360 people passed through Ellis Island. Just huge. But that was its purpose. It was built for that.

00:13:54.580 Regular citizens didn't go through there. It was just for these newcomers. Now, Justin Trudeau has asked 0.99

00:14:01.260 Pearson International Airport in Toronto, by far Canada's busiest airport, with an enormous number

00:14:08.080 of foreign flights to boot, especially from the United States. So suddenly you're asking a busy airport

00:14:13.900 to change from being a busy airport into an Ellis Island. How is that possible? Even changing a 30-second

00:14:23.700 document inspection to a two-minute document inspection, as if that's all it was,

00:14:29.260 that alone can back things up hours. Think about it. If you have hundreds of people coming off a

00:14:36.200 plane, that's hours. The vaccine checks on foreigners whose home countries no longer require them to

00:14:43.540 carry their vaccine cards around, including America, of course. Seriously, who on earth would come up

00:14:48.640 here unless they absolutely had to? Did you see that video from that Whitney guy?

00:14:54.960 Now, Duncan D. is the name of a former chief operating officer of Air Canada about a decade ago.

00:15:02.100 His job was literally to make the planes fly on time.

00:15:06.300 He knows logistics and schedules and all the behind-the-scenes planning.

00:15:10.860 I'd like to read a series of tweets from him to you, each one a fascinating lesson,

00:15:17.820 something that Trudeau and his transport minister have no clue about. Ready?

00:15:23.760 Airlines are not configured to deal with three- to four-hour security and customs delays.

00:15:29.420 That crew that was scheduled to operate your flight?

00:15:32.640 They're out of duty time because the flight they operated this morning was held off-gate for two

00:15:40.280 hours. Isn't that interesting? That aircraft that was scheduled to operate your morning flight?

00:15:47.560 Sorry, it missed its scheduled maintenance last night because it couldn't offload its passengers on

00:15:53.700 time because the customs hall was full, so it can't be operated until the maintenance is completed.

00:15:59.640 It's taking your bags a couple of hours to be delivered? Sorry, but the crew that was supposed

00:16:06.280 to offload your bags is delayed taking the bags off another flight that customs held off-gate.

00:16:14.040 Why are there no staff to help you rebook your canceled flight when there are 400 people in line

00:16:19.860 ahead of you? Sorry, the agents who were scheduled to start the customer service counter are still

00:16:26.380 boarding their last flight because it took travelers three hours to get through security.

00:16:32.300 You missed your connection because customs took two hours? The airline took off without you and the

00:16:38.780 next flight with space isn't for two to three days? Sorry, but if the airline held the flight for you,

00:16:45.020 the travelers using the aircraft on the return leg would have missed their connections.

00:16:49.220 You arrived at the airport three hours before departure, but there isn't an agent to check

00:16:55.100 your bag in? That's because the agent who was assigned is meeting a flight that was waiting for

00:17:00.660 at a gate since the last flight that was assigned to it was held off-gate because customs was full.

00:17:08.540 And then he concludes by saying the government may want to minimize the fallout from its poor planning,

00:17:14.200 but airlines are not configured to handle 65 plus days of delays. They are there simply not enough

00:17:21.320 crews, staff, aircraft, or empty seats to fix the government's mess. Whoa, did you and I just learn a

00:17:29.940 lot about running an airplane there? And you add hours of delays. Imagine the domino effect of that.

00:17:37.660 He's right on all those points, of course. I mean, think about any place where there are lineups that have to

00:17:43.760 move pretty quickly and things need to move on time. A bus stop is a small example, a train station,

00:17:51.460 a gas station, a grocery store, checkout line, a restaurant, a movie line, anything. And then

00:17:57.580 imagine adding a government bureaucrat asking stupid questions about unscientific things for which they 1.00

00:18:03.220 are poorly trained and understaffed. Nothing would work. Like imagine a gas station where you have to 1.00

00:18:09.660 talk to someone for five minutes before you're allowed to pump your gas. Or a grocery store

00:18:13.780 checkout where someone held you up for two minutes before you got it. Like imagine any other place

00:18:18.440 in the world that we would break down. Blaming the airlines doesn't make sense, though it is fair to

00:18:23.760 ask. How many senior experienced staff did Air Canada fire because they didn't get jabbed? A hundred?

00:18:31.760 A thousand? I wonder if losing hundreds of competent, experienced staff might have added to this mess.

00:18:38.940 Just a crazy thought. They should be rehired, apologized to, and compensated.

00:18:46.100 So where is Trudeau? He doesn't care. He flies on a private jet courtesy of you. He doesn't care.

00:18:55.000 So where's Omar al-Jabra, the transport minister? Well, I took a look at his Twitter feed and it gives

00:19:03.400 some idea of what he's up to. Here he is busy with very important business for a transport minister

00:19:10.560 in meeting with the Ukraine government, apparently. Oh, here he is calling Canadians racist. That's

00:19:22.840 his part-time duties in cabinet. And here he is, busy meeting with children from his writing.

00:19:32.280 That's a Trudeau specialty because children typically don't ask tough questions.

00:19:36.120 Yeah, so I'm not happy that anyone is being stuck for 6, 12, 8, 24, 36 hours at Pearson Airport.

00:19:45.320 I retract that whole Schadenfreude thing. No one deserves this except for maybe the people who voted,

00:19:52.680 for it, the people who agreed with Trudeau when he said we shouldn't tolerate the unvaccinated.

00:19:59.640 There are also people who are openly opposed to the vaccination.

00:20:03.240 They are extremists.

00:20:04.280 They don't believe in science. They are often misogynes. They are often racist. 0.98

00:20:08.520 It's a small group, but they take place. And there, we have to make a choice as a leader,

00:20:16.280 as a country. Do we tolerate it?

00:20:19.800 Yeah, I'm sort of happy that people who voted for him are delayed. If you voted for Trudeau

00:20:24.040 or for his enabler, Jagmeet Singh, yeah, you kind of asked for this. So yeah, no sympathy for me,

00:20:31.800 but most Canadians did not. But maybe that's important. Maybe once liberal voters, mask lovers, 0.91

00:20:41.960 maybe the people who thought the punishments would just be on the unvaccinated, maybe it's 0.88

00:20:47.320 actually essential that their travel plans are absolutely destroyed. Because maybe Trudeau will

00:20:54.040 listen to their calls for help. Trudeau did all this. He kept all these abusive rules as a vengeance

00:21:02.760 on the unvaccinated. That's the delay they're talking about. No other country does this.

00:21:07.480 It's a vendetta against the unvaccinated. It's a punishment. There's no science behind it. 0.99

00:21:13.400 The only question is how much collateral damage is Trudeau willing to do to other people, his own

00:21:20.680 people, bystanders, Canada-US trade, the airlines themselves, before he must bend the knee and get

00:21:29.880 rid of his vaccine rules like the rest of the world has done. I don't know the answer to that. I've never

00:21:36.280 seen Trudeau acknowledge that he was wrong before on anything. I've never seen him apologize or admit

00:21:44.120 failure. This is the guy, remember, who sexually assaulted Rose Knight in Creston, BC. And when asked

00:21:51.960 about it, said, well, she just experienced it differently. And the media bought that.

00:21:57.560 I've been reflecting very carefully on what I remember from that incident almost 20 years ago.

00:22:04.600 And again, I feel I am confident that I did not act inappropriately. But part of this awakening that

00:22:17.400 we're having as a society, a long-awaited realization, is that it's not just one side of the story that matters.

00:22:29.800 That the same interactions could be experienced very differently from one person to the next. And I am

00:22:39.080 not going to speak for the woman in question. I would never presume to speak for her. But I know that

00:22:46.760 there is an awful lot of reflection to be had as we move forward as a society on how people perceive

00:22:53.160 different interactions. Like I said, I do not feel that I acted inappropriately in any way. But I respect

00:23:03.800 the fact that someone else might have experienced that differently. And this is part of the reflections

00:23:08.360 that we have to go through. Yeah. Why would he bend the knee on this? But look at this. Look at this. Just

00:23:13.800 today. Toronto mayor says delays at Pearson Airport, unacceptable, after video of ex-NHLers ordeal

00:23:21.880 goes vile. He's talking about that video we showed. Now, there is no greater coward in politics, no

00:23:27.320 greater follower as opposed to a leader, no more conventional thinker in this country's political

00:23:33.080 political world than the mayor of Toronto, John Tory. And he was a masked fetishist of the first order.

00:23:41.160 He's the weirdo who drew circles in public parks and you had to stay in your circle. 1.00

00:23:47.720 On the lawn, you're crazy. So if he is calling for change, you know the tide has turned. I mean, 0.88

00:23:58.680 naturally, he cares more about an ex-NHLer than an ordinary person. He's a snob, naturally. So yeah.

00:24:06.200 I look at the pain and disaster and dislocation, the destruction of business plans, of family plans.

00:24:11.800 And I sort of laugh because I can't be part of that. And I hope that those who are being unfairly

00:24:20.680 punished by it, and liberals who are too stupid to anticipate the consequences of their own votes, 0.99

00:24:29.400 hopefully their discomfort and inconvenience is enough to change the rules in a way that our 0.99

00:24:35.880 courts and our media and our public health officers would not do. Stay with us for more. 0.98

00:24:56.360 Welcome back. Well, there's a crazy phenomenon these days called drag queen story hour, 1.00

00:25:03.640 where outrageously dressed drag queens read books to school children, typically in schools or libraries, 1.00

00:25:12.040 children of tender years in the most astonishing displays. It wasn't very long ago where transvestites 1.00

00:25:20.760 and drag queens were an exotic and very adult production, a very obscure taste. And the idea that 0.60

00:25:32.120 children would be involved was unthinkable. Now it's moved from drag queen story hour to actually

00:25:38.840 recruiting kids to participate in stripping. Take a look at this of a drag queen event at a gay bar 0.93

00:25:47.880 in Dallas, Texas. Note the sign that says it's not going to lick itself. 0.97

00:26:07.000 Children are encouraged to tip the strippers. Now, some might say this is anti-gay to criticize this. I think 0.84

00:26:15.640 if you put aside the issue of homosexuality, come to the main question, would it be any better, would it 0.99

00:26:21.480 be any different if these were eight, nine, ten-year-old girls at a heterosexual strip club? 1.00

00:26:29.400 The answer is, of course not. Putting aside any question of homosexuality or heterosexuality,

00:26:35.240 why is there any sexuality at all being foisted on young children in this way?

00:26:42.600 It's truly wokeness gone mad, and who better to challenge it than this man? Look at him in full

00:26:51.320 flight, giving it what for to a town council dressed playing the part, I guess a form of drag,

00:26:59.000 playing a leftist demanding action. Take a look at Alex Stein. Hello, how you guys doing, council?

00:27:06.440 Um, so my name is Alexandria Stein, and I'm here today to call out transphobia here in Plano.

00:27:12.040 I'm currently being restricted from swimming in the city of Plano Swim League against the women, 0.82

00:27:17.240 even though it's clear that I reassigned my gender last week. Like, for example, do I look like a man?

00:27:23.880 Obviously I'm not. This is a woman. But they're not going to let me swim and compete against the 0.99

00:27:28.360 ladies because of transphobia. So what I need you guys to do is I need you to wake up. We have 0.86

00:27:33.480 champions like Leah Thomas. She's an NCAA champion, the best swimmer in college today. I can't get a

00:27:40.280 scholarship unless I'm able to send a recruiting tape to these colleges. So they say, oh, oh, you have

00:27:45.880 an unfair advantage, Alexandria. What, what looks like, does this look like an unfair advantage to y'all?

00:27:51.160 Does this look like an unfair advantage? There's nothing unfair about this. I mean, look at me.

00:27:54.840 I'm freaking, I'm the same as a girl. It's really hard to tell if that was satire or if that was

00:28:00.760 a real woke activist. These days it's tough to tell. I can tell you that it was satire,

00:28:07.560 political comedy, sort of Jonathan Swift style. And we're joined now by Alex Stein. He's actually in

00:28:14.040 the studios of The Blaze in Dallas. He was outside that strip club on the weekend when

00:28:21.640 those shenanigans went down and he joins us now. Alex, what a pleasure to have you on the show.

00:28:25.640 Well, Ezra, thank you for having me. I really appreciate you. And I know you're doing such

00:28:29.400 a great job with Rebel. You know, I know you live in a country where free speech is going to be

00:28:33.240 limited at any time. So you are a real rebel for speaking against the establishment. So I really want

00:28:38.520 to applaud you. And now let's talk about me. I am primetime 99. I'm a comedian. But see, you made

00:28:43.880 a good point. I like to consider myself to be the Andy Kaufman-esque, the political version of Andy

00:28:49.240 Kaufman, because what I want to do is I want to blur the line of reality and fiction so that people

00:28:54.120 question the reality in which they live. So that's why I do this astroturfing or culture jamming.

00:28:59.720 I'm trying to highlight the most absurd parts of our culture and jam it in people's face so they

00:29:04.360 can get a better idea of what's really happening and what the agenda of these evil people or this

00:29:09.720 establishment is really trying to make us follow. Well, it's a tried and true form of satire. I mean,

00:29:15.240 remember, Jonathan Swift, hundreds of years ago, he wrote a story about called a modest proposal,

00:29:22.040 which was, of course, that to eat the poor. He didn't mean it. It was just so absurd. And it was

00:29:27.480 a thought experiment. It was satire. It was political commentary. I think you are the modern version

00:29:32.680 of Jonathan Swift, but you don't just write it. You act it out. You live it out. Tell me what you

00:29:37.480 did in Dallas on the weekend at this drag queen strip event for kids. I mean, I really don't care

00:29:43.640 what adult people do in a club at night, consenting adults and all that. But to get kids involved,

00:29:52.600 gay club, straight club, it just seems really strange to be targeting young children.

00:29:57.000 Ezra, you nailed it. Listen, like a lot of conservatives are ultra conservative and they

00:30:01.800 are really against gay marriage and they're against, you know, the gay agenda. But for me, 0.85

00:30:05.400 I don't really I don't mind. I mean, if a person wants to be homosexual and do that in their private 0.93

00:30:09.560 life, I actually don't care. And if a person wants to drag and go to a drag club and have drag brunch, 0.92

00:30:14.760 go ahead. This is a free country. I'm a libertarian in that mindset. But once you target children,

00:30:19.240 because that's what this was, this was like I imagine in college or at high school when a drug dealer

00:30:24.520 gives a kid their first drug, the first drug is always free because they're trying to get you

00:30:28.840 hooked. That's the kind of vibrational energy this had like come into this bar. Because I remember

00:30:33.880 in a car when I was in college, going to a bar was the coolest thing ever. So you indoctrinate these

00:30:38.520 kids making it think, oh, well, if I'm gay, maybe I'll get to hang out at bars. I'll get to dance.

00:30:43.000 And you had these parents. See, this is the problem. Having a trans kid is a lot like having a vegan cat. 1.00

00:30:48.840 It's not the cat or the kid making the decision. It's the owner or the parent.

00:30:52.440 And that was the problem here is the lack of parental guidance. And the parents should be

00:30:57.080 held accountable more than the kids. But you nailed it. They were insinuating stripping that

00:31:01.720 it's not going to lick itself. All this was sexualized. It wasn't just some simple family 0.87

00:31:06.520 outing. This is a sexual indoctrination of young children and toddlers, Ezra.

00:31:11.720 You know, transvestites, typically men dressing as women is is centuries old, really. 0.64

00:31:18.440 And but it's a very adult thing. I think the decision to target children is what is the crisis

00:31:29.720 here. And it's a cover for pedophilia. And these are not subjects that we talk a lot about on this

00:31:37.080 show. I find them distraithful to talk about. But I think what they're doing is they're using the

00:31:42.040 political momentum of pride and gay pride and gay equality and gay marriage, which is all about

00:31:47.720 adult things. And they're and targeting children is a stowaway. It's sneaking in. I mean, if you look

00:31:57.160 at the modern pride flag, there's so many colors on there. It's much more than just the rainbow.

00:32:02.440 I think they're trying to have a little stowaway. If you're getting eight, nine,

00:32:05.560 ten year old kids involved, that's not gay or straight anymore. That is pedophilia. 0.64

00:32:10.680 And I can't even believe I'm using these words. But I really think that's what it is.

00:32:15.720 Well, Ezra, you're not wrong. Listen, Prince Andrew, the queen's son, there's evidence that he was

00:32:20.440 sleeping with an underage person hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein. Bill Clinton, one of the most

00:32:24.360 popular presidents in the United States, was on the Lolita Express 26 times with no secret service. 0.83

00:32:29.160 Dennis Hastert, Secretary of the State, excuse me, Speaker of the House, was a convicted pedophile.

00:32:34.520 So there are people in high, powerful positions that have attacked children. So this is a bigger

00:32:40.600 issue than just, oh, gay or straight. This is an attack on young kids that are the most vulnerable

00:32:46.120 and the most easily to indoctrinate. You know what I mean? They're the biggest, they're the kids that

00:32:51.640 are the biggest victim. When we come to the COVID policies, they're the ones that still have to wear

00:32:55.000 the mask. They're the ones that, you know, aren't, they're all behind in all of the standardized

00:32:59.160 testing here in America, what a kid should be doing in the third grade. You know, they're not even doing

00:33:03.480 it up until a freshman in high school. So a lot of what is going on in America and across the world

00:33:10.200 is targeted in order to destabilize these kids' youth and take it away as soon as possible.

00:33:15.240 Yeah. And you know, you added, you had a list of people who were well known to consort with Jeffrey

00:33:20.760 Epstein. I think you left out Bill Gates and his repeated visits to meet with Jeffrey Epstein were

00:33:27.480 so odious that even his wife Melinda divorced him for that reason. Here's just a quick reminder

00:33:35.400 to our viewers of Melinda Gates saying that's why they divorced. Take a look at this.

00:33:40.600 You know, it was also widely reported that Bill had a friendship or business or some kind of contact

00:33:46.760 with Jeffrey Epstein and that you were not, that that was very upsetting to you. Did that play a role

00:33:51.880 in the divorce at all in this process? Yeah. As I said, it's not one thing. It was many things.

00:33:59.160 But I did not like that he'd had meetings with Jeffrey Epstein, no.

00:34:04.680 And you made that clear to him? I made that clear to him. I also met Jeffrey Epstein.

00:34:09.960 Exactly one time. Did you? Yes. Because I wanted to see who this man was.

00:34:15.000 And I regretted it from the second I stepped in the door. He was abhorrent. He was evil,

00:34:22.920 personified. I had nightmares about it afterwards. So, you know, my heart breaks for these young

00:34:28.520 women because that's how I felt. And here I'm an older woman. My God, I feel terrible for those

00:34:33.800 young women. It's awful. You felt that the moment you walked in? I didn't realize it. He was awful.

00:34:37.640 Yeah. And you shared that with Bill and he still continued to spend time with him?

00:34:42.840 Any of the questions remaining about what Bill's relationship there was, those are for Bill to

00:34:48.200 answer. Okay. But I made it very clear how I felt about him. So, so it's not, it's not a conspiracy

00:34:54.280 theory there. These predators, I'm going to call Bill Gates a predator.

00:35:01.320 They have enormous financial influence, but of course, some of them have cultural

00:35:05.000 and political and journalistic influence too. You went down there. Tell me a little bit about

00:35:09.320 that because you, you're an activist. I'd almost call you a performance artist.

00:35:12.920 I am a performance artist. Sorry, Ezra. I am, but I had to cut you off because I had to make one

00:35:17.400 point about Bill Gates too. This is another thing we don't talk about. His dad, William Gates Sr.,

00:35:21.240 started Planned Parenthood with Margaret Sanger. So Bill Gates is not, not only is he a mass vaccinator,

00:35:27.160 not only does he have the worst computer program that is just infected with viruses that he stole,

00:35:31.640 literally, you know, he had a plan that IBM could have made the software and he actually bought that

00:35:35.640 software in Seattle from another developer. And he made it, he made his billions of dollars off the backs of

00:35:40.440 other people. So the Gates family, in your opinion, I agree with you a hundred percent.

00:35:44.760 So now let me get a little bit to this event. I am a performance artist. I try to keep things light.

00:35:49.880 I actually want to, we're under constant trauma-based mind control is what I call it,

00:35:54.440 Ezra from the media. When you turn on CNN, it's always going to be a death scroller. It's always

00:35:58.280 going to be a negative story, breaking news, school shooting, this and that. Yet in Chicago,

00:36:02.920 where the shooting is absolutely terrible, they don't cover that because they do that on purpose

00:36:06.680 in order to put forth an agenda because it fits their political narrative. So what is happening

00:36:11.480 in this day and age, when I go there at these meetings or I go to these events, I'm literally

00:36:16.360 trying to culture jam. I'm trying to expose what's really happening. So if I wouldn't have gone there

00:36:20.120 and I'm not trying to virtue signal, I'm not trying to pat myself on the back, but if people wouldn't

00:36:23.560 have gone there and actually did what we did, there's other cities that have had these similar

00:36:27.080 events that got no attention. So that's what we have to do. We have to start standing up for ourselves

00:36:32.040 because nobody's going to stand up for for you unless you do it yourself.

00:36:35.960 All right. Well, we've got a clip from your visit there. Let's play a few minutes of it

00:36:39.960 and then we'll come back on the other side and you can explain what we saw here. Take a look. This

00:36:43.720 was from this weekend in Dallas. 0.97

00:36:49.720 I'm taking shots at the enemy. I'm gonna make it to the top, leave a legacy. If I got something to

00:36:57.320 say, you better let me speak. Turn it up another degree. Bitch, you ain't seen anything. 1.00

00:37:02.200 They're denying me intrigue. They're being bigoted. They're bigoted. They're not letting me in here. 1.00

00:37:07.800 I can't believe they're not letting me in a gay bar. I thought you guys were inclusive, babe.

00:37:11.320 Hey.

00:37:12.200 Are you just trying to be inclusive? They're not letting me in a gay bar. 1.00

00:37:15.320 Look how inclusive this is. Look how inclusive they are here. You can't even go into a gay bar.

00:37:24.520 You guys are biggots. These guys are biggots. They won't let us in a gay bar. They're just 1.00

00:37:30.920 gonna have a bunch of children dressed in here and dragged. They're gonna come here and groom a 1.00

00:37:37.080 bunch of children. They're gonna groom a bunch of children in here. They won't let me in here, 0.97

00:37:42.680 but they're gonna let children. They're gonna let a bunch of children on here. Look at that. 1.00

00:37:48.920 Look, isn't this funny? Look, I'm not allowed in here, but they let children in here, babe.

00:37:53.880 If you guys don't think that's weird, it's right.

00:37:55.880 I'm back.

00:37:57.080 I'm back.

00:37:57.880 You know that I never lost. I got tracks and some music that you never guessed. I don't slack,

00:38:03.080 don't lose when you're less together. When I get to choose what I do, I'm like a weapon.

00:38:07.080 I'm a shark, this man even got hard. I'm ready to change scars to envy to win. Large and plenty.

00:38:12.680 I like to play faster, but change back. Come in, come in, out. I'll pay back.

00:38:16.680 The clip goes on for a bit. Where can we watch the full video, Alex? What's the best place for

00:38:38.680 people to watch the whole thing? Well, unfortunately, right now I'm locked out of my Twitter account for

00:38:43.240 this same video because I call these people psychopaths and in order to get my account back,

00:38:47.720 my account back, I have to admit that this was hate speech. So now I'm kind of in a Babylon B

00:38:52.440 situation, but this is on my Instagram and it'll be on my YouTube. Of course, I had to wait to post

00:38:57.160 it on YouTube because I had to blur out the faces of the children, but it's all over. If you type on,

00:39:01.160 on, uh, on Twitter, it's still on my account, Alex, nine 99. You can still view it. The count is still

00:39:05.480 up. But what I'm saying is in the video, we didn't even get to the drag part. That was just me trying

00:39:09.640 to get into the event. But the inside, there's more footage of the kids dancing, of the kids

00:39:14.440 walking on the stage, sashaying with the drink, with the transgenders and giving them money, 0.98

00:39:19.240 insinuating and simulating like they're at a strip club. Okay. Let's take a look at that. You know 0.95

00:39:23.320 what? Let's go back in. I was going to ask you about what we were seeing there, but tell me,

00:39:27.400 it looked like Antifa were on the outside. I think you pulled the mask off someone's face.

00:39:33.000 Was that Antifa? Why were they there? What did they say and do?

00:39:38.040 Well, Ezra, those Antifa, they know me because I've, I've been to many protests in Denton,

00:39:43.560 Texas at what is called the university of North Texas, which is a very liberal college,

00:39:46.760 even though it's a state school. And so they know me, they have a thing called the John Brown

00:39:50.840 gun club, which John Brown was a guy that went around and shot people that he was, you know,

00:39:55.880 had disagreements with that he considered conservative. So yes, they were carrying their

00:40:00.200 Antifa. They call themselves anti-fascist. Now, what they try to do is they try to counter protest

00:40:06.200 people that are protesting against, you know, trans or against some sort of weird event.

00:40:10.200 So they're at all the events. That's why when you hear the audio, it's not that great from my end,

00:40:14.120 but they're like, Oh, Alex Stein. Oh, this is Alex leave Alex. They all know who I am.

00:40:18.360 And as a matter of fact, I lost my mom recently. There's videos on my YouTube where they're talking

00:40:21.800 about my dead mother. These people are sick. They're, they're the actual evil ones because 0.99

00:40:25.640 they have no, they have no empathy because the problem is a lot of these people were abused

00:40:29.720 themselves Ezra. So it's very cyclical. So that's why they want to pay it forward with the abuse

00:40:34.760 that they received. They want to abuse other people. Wow. Well, you know what,

00:40:37.960 let's go back in and watch a little bit from inside the club. Take a look at this.

00:40:41.880 I'm taking shots at the enemy. I'm going to make it to the top, leave a legacy. If I got something

00:40:55.080 to say, you better let me speak. Turn it up a new degree. Bitch, you ain't seen anything. I pop off 1.00

00:41:01.080 with the new rock. Electronic. I'm too honest when I take a few shots. They're too toxic. Need to take

00:41:09.560 a new song. You can not save me. Cause I don't need saving. It's everything I've been chasing.

00:41:19.720 Fall here for the taking. Don't want to test your luck with me. I think I've had enough disease.

00:41:27.240 You know, it's incredible. I say again, if that were a heterosexual strip club, 0.92

00:41:34.440 it would be no less odious. And I think police would have less trouble shutting it down. I mean,

00:41:39.960 in Canada, if you're a minor, you can't even go into a bar, let alone a strip club. If there was a

00:41:47.960 strip club in Toronto and Vancouver, wherever, where children were being taken by their parents

00:41:54.040 or on their own or some way, that club would be raided, shut down. Nothing to do with the

00:41:59.320 sexuality, hetero or homo. It would have to do with why are you bringing children into such a place of 1.00

00:42:04.920 disrepute? I think precisely the fact that it is trans and male is the reason why police aren't 0.99

00:42:12.280 shutting that down. The vice squad is giving them a pass.

00:42:15.240 A hundred percent. They don't want to come across as homophobic. And the only cops that went into the

00:42:20.600 establishment, you know, seem to be homosexual cops. I think it was a lesbian cop because we asked her 0.94

00:42:26.040 and she did say she was a lesbian. Now, at the end of the day, these police, they're afraid to go in

00:42:31.400 there because they're, you know, very liberal. We're in Dallas, which even though Texas is a

00:42:36.520 conservative state, Dallas is pretty liberal. But you're right. This is a 21 and up establishment

00:42:41.240 where they're having young children. And in Texas, they have a law. You can go into a bar with a

00:42:45.400 parent. You can actually have a drink. But that is meant for kids that are in their teens, 16, 17,

00:42:50.760 18, 19. Not for preteens, not for toddlers. There's no bar in America where toddlers are supposed to hang

00:42:56.560 out when there's loud bass music. All those toddlers did not have ear, you know, earplugs in. They

00:43:02.160 probably have hearing damage. I mean, this is literal child abuse. And I'm not saying that like

00:43:06.540 hyperbolically, this was actual concrete evidence of abuse of a toddler in a setting where they should 0.99

00:43:13.340 be in a nursery, not in a gay transgender strip club. Yeah, I find it deeply troubling. I think 1.00

00:43:19.340 that they're trying to destroy so many institutions, destroy the family, of course, but destroy the very

00:43:25.180 idea of an age of innocence. I mean, of a presexual child, some sort of, you know, they're trying to 0.76

00:43:35.180 blur and destroy any limits. And I think that I don't think it's innocent. I don't think it's 0.99

00:43:41.520 accidental. And I think what used to be a conspiracy theory, powerful people who were pedophiles,

00:43:50.160 I think the Jeffrey Epstein case and just how vast that network was and the fact that all the clients

00:43:56.200 have remained secret, I think that shows that this is not accidental. I find this very troubling

00:44:02.280 as a citizen and as a dad. Last word to you, Alex Stein. First of all, congratulations

00:44:07.620 for your work in general. And I know you are a performance artist and a comedian,

00:44:11.740 but I think you have a lot of very serious things to say too. Is this just the beginning or is there

00:44:16.720 a backlash coming? I think that most people don't really know this is going on or they can't believe

00:44:22.220 it. Is there a reaction to this or is the momentum all on the side of these drag queen story hour

00:44:29.240 strip clubs? Well, that's a two part answer because first of all, Brian Slayton, who's a

00:44:34.200 Texas representative, has now put in legislation that they're going to try to get past banning kids

00:44:39.320 from attending drag events. And at the same time, this is just the beginning for me. Now I'm a

00:44:43.160 Blaze TV contributor. I'm working with the Blaze. I'm creating even more content. So for me, I think

00:44:48.220 this is just a start where I'm going to be able to culture jam and expose a lot of this stuff. And I

00:44:51.760 appreciate you saying that I'm not a total dummy. My dad would disagree. He'd say I'm an idiot,

00:44:55.920 but this is the problem, Ezra. We got a society where they're going to give you every inch of the 1.00

00:45:00.220 Amber Heard and Johnny Depp trial. They're going to show you the actual turd and say Amber turd all

00:45:04.900 day long, but they're not going to show you one frame of the Ghislaine Maxwell trial. They're not

00:45:08.140 going to show you one frame of Jeffrey Epstein's interior cell footage. Nancy Pelosi's husband gets

00:45:15.140 a DUI and luckily the police officer's body cam was not on. So it's rules for thee, but not for me.

00:45:20.660 We live in a society where we have to expose these one percenters that rule the world, 1.00

00:45:25.160 the one percent that has 99 percent of the wealth that make our lives terrible and that

00:45:29.200 it's destabilizing the middle class. So I appreciate you having me on. And I do believe 1.00

00:45:33.460 we are making a headway in the culture war, but this was just a cultural battle win in a long

00:45:39.180 culture war. There you have it. Alex Stein, very thoughtful. What a pleasure to meet with you and

00:45:44.440 talk with you. And I'm thrilled to learn that you're working with the Blaze, good friends of ours down

00:45:48.460 there. Take care of my friend and keep up the fight. There he is, Alex Stein from theblaze.com.

00:45:54.100 Doing great work on the street. Stay with us. Your letters to me next.

00:46:09.400 Hey, welcome back. Your viewer mail, Nigel Waterhouse says, congratulations, Ezra and Carrie.

00:46:15.240 This is a big win for the rebel and an even bigger win for Canadians. I'm really glad you feel that way.

00:46:20.080 I'm really excited. I don't know Carrie that well other than through the media. I know he's been a

00:46:25.180 fighter for conservative values in journalism, in Edmonton City Hall, and as a federal conservative.

00:46:32.140 So he's got a lot of experience in politics, a lot of experience in journalism. You know,

00:46:37.020 the average age of a rebel news reporter is probably in the 20s. So it's good to have someone

00:46:42.280 with a bit more seasoning. I think he's going to do great stuff. Of course, I love our young

00:46:46.880 reporters too. I think it is a big win. So thank you. Someone with the nickname Black Medicine says,

00:46:53.340 loving the new quality videos, Ezra. Keep rebel news growing. Thank you from your mouth to God's

00:46:59.800 ears and credit to our editors and our staff. I hope you saw our documentary. We're doing some

00:47:04.680 documentaries these days. I'm very, very excited about them. Someone with the nickname Enoch was

00:47:10.720 right, says, I like how in the USA they have a vetting process for Supreme Court nominees. Yes,

00:47:17.300 Democrats have turned into a circus, but they at least have some kind of checks and balances in

00:47:23.140 Canada. I guarantee you that 99% of Canadians can't name even one justice on the court. We have no idea

00:47:29.520 who these people are and what they stand for, which is the way they want it. Extreme liberalism via

00:47:36.280 subterviews is how they rule. You are exactly right. And I think I could name all nine U.S. Supreme

00:47:44.800 Court judges if I had to. I don't know if I could name five Canadian ones. And I'm a Canadian and I'm

00:47:51.640 a former lawyer and I follow this stuff. It's because we don't scrutinize them. We didn't scrutinize them

00:47:58.200 to get on the court. We don't scrutinize their highly political judgments. They're like a priestly

00:48:04.320 class. I use the phrase the media party, but the court party predates the media party by decades,

00:48:11.600 doesn't it? Well, that's our show for today. Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at

00:48:16.780 Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night and keep fighting for freedom.

00:48:20.980 This is Juan Mendoza reporting for Rebel News. We're here in Dallas at the Young Women's Leadership

00:48:25.580 Summit. And today I have with me Ms. Lauren Chen. Thank you very much for talking with us.

00:48:31.220 Yeah, for sure. Love the work the Rebel does. Always happy to speak with you guys.

00:48:35.100 So what motivated you to come here speak at the event here?

00:48:39.220 Well, first off, I think it's so important that Turning Point USA is working with women

00:48:42.680 specifically because right now, obviously, the left kind of has not quite a monopoly,

00:48:47.620 but they really have a grip on women's politics in general. They really control the language. 1.00

00:48:52.420 They control the narrative. When it comes to things like abortion, you know, even a lot of what's

00:48:56.680 going on in schools and everything like that. So I think reaching young women and letting them

00:49:00.840 know that conservatism is for them like it is for everyone is really important. And specifically,

00:49:05.100 the panel I'm going to be talking on today is about women in the media. And I think the media 0.95

00:49:09.740 is one of the main reasons why so many young women are going down the path of leftist politics, 1.00

00:49:14.920 of feminism. And, you know, we see all of this, all these TikToks coming out of young girls 0.85

00:49:20.020 claiming to be whatever gender, even getting some mastectomies. I blame the media for a lot of that.

00:49:25.200 So the opportunity to have this platform and to speak out against it and to raise awareness for it,

00:49:30.040 I think it's awesome.

00:49:31.780 And so as a Canadian, I'm assuming you're, you're keeping in like aware of the actions

00:49:37.880 that are happening right now with Trudeau and Parliament there. So what are your thoughts

00:49:42.020 right now? I mean, recently he's been trying to get like a handgun ban there.

00:49:46.300 We're introducing legislation to implement a national freeze on handgun ownership.

00:49:53.720 What this means is that it will no longer be possible to buy, sell, transfer, or import handguns

00:50:03.560 anywhere in Canada.

00:50:06.620 And there's other actions that have been controversial there. So what are your thoughts

00:50:10.420 about all of that that's going on?

00:50:12.100 Well, gun owners in Canada have known for a long time that Trudeau is coming for their guns.

00:50:16.740 And for anyone who's not aware right now, Canada has very, very strict gun control already.

00:50:20.840 So to get a gun, just like a long gun, we're talking about a rifle and things like that,

00:50:26.300 you need to pass a course and a background check. You need to have references and all

00:50:31.000 of that. And not to mention, we already have very strict limits on the number of rounds you

00:50:34.860 can have in a magazine. It's limited to five if it's semi-automatic. And there were already

00:50:38.900 further restrictions on top of that if you wanted a handgun specifically. The only way you can have a

00:50:44.100 handgun really is if you also belong to the range. And the only official reason for owning a

00:50:48.600 handgun in Canada is sportsmanship to shoot it at a range. And it's another, I guess, course and

00:50:54.580 another intensive background check if you want your restricted gun license. And so for Trudeau

00:51:00.600 to say, OK, now we're just banning it outright. Well, obviously, the already very strict gun

00:51:05.540 measures we have in Canada are not working on crime. We see gun crime rising in Toronto and

00:51:10.160 unfortunately, Montreal as well. So really what Trudeau is doing here is just punishing law-abiding

00:51:14.540 Canadians who have for a long time had their right to defend themselves, just be trampled 1.00

00:51:19.180 on. So it's really too bad.
