00:01:28.560 We've got internal documents from the CBC showing they admit less than 5% of Canadians even watch
00:01:43.280 them. It's March 19th, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:49.920 Shame on you, you sensorism bug.
00:02:01.920 Oh, hi, everybody. I have in my hand a sheaf of paper that's from an Access to Information
00:02:07.220 production. We didn't file the question, but sometimes the government publishes sort of a
00:02:12.860 list of other people's inquiries that are very interesting. There's so many people with so many
00:02:17.240 good questions for this government. The government tries to hide it, but this was a good one. This was
00:02:21.160 the CBC in what I understand is a presentation made to the then minister in charge, who I think
00:02:27.540 at the time was Stephen Gilbeau. So this was an internal briefing from the CBC to Gilbeau designed
00:02:33.980 to sort of show off. So what's fun about this is it's like being a fly on the wall in that meeting,
00:02:38.920 but also understanding that the CBC cares so much about itself and about flattering the liberals.
00:02:45.900 I really got a kick out of this. I want to walk you through it. I don't have something to say about
00:02:49.400 every page, but I'd like to show you a few. I think I mentioned that first stat that less than 5% of
00:02:55.260 Canadians watch them. I think it's 4.2%. You'll see a chart in here that it's actually declining.
00:03:01.480 How is that possible? And I'm not just talking about TV on the big box TV. I'm talking about
00:03:08.260 streaming and internet and web. Like all that stuff is booming. It's growing. Every media outlet is
00:03:16.320 having a heyday except the CBC is managing to shrink, even though its budget has never been higher,
00:03:22.160 even though the Canadian population has even been higher. I don't know how they managed to do it.
00:03:27.060 There is one little anecdote that I'll tell you also will come across. The CBC, one of the reasons
00:03:32.880 they love the COVID lockdowns is that during the COVID lockdowns, their viewership actually grew
00:03:38.540 by 25% because what else was there to do besides sit in your house and watch TV? Maybe that was a
00:03:43.820 reason they loved it so much, but let's start. You can see that the purpose of this document is to
00:03:50.120 present key information on CBC and what they call Radio Canada. That's the French or Quebec version
00:03:56.480 of the CBC. So they start off just sort of showing what is the CBC and it's outlined in something
00:04:02.500 called the Broadcasting Act. And if you read the Broadcasting Act, you can see what they were
00:04:07.720 trying to do, at least when they passed the law. It was to be a voice for Canadians about Canada,
00:04:12.900 to show different parts of Canada. And that might have had a rationale almost 100 years ago when it
00:04:19.240 was started, when there were very few other media outlets, when it took a lot of equipment to have
00:04:25.660 radio stations across the country. And I suppose the idea of building the nation was still in some
00:04:34.480 question 100 years ago. What's so incredible now is that if you look at the CBC, a lot of it is
00:04:41.460 American broadcasting repurposed. If you look at their government comedy channel, this hour is 22
00:04:47.660 minutes is their show. It's 50% about Donald Trump. They're obsessed with it. I don't think they're
00:04:53.440 following the Broadcasting Act. They talk about the contribution to the media ecosystem. And again,
00:05:00.620 put yourself in the shoes of either the CBC who was pitching themselves or Stephen Gilboa who was
00:05:05.600 listening. They're bragging about how much they're spending and how much they hire. They're not bragging
00:05:11.560 about what effect they're having or how many people are watching. They think that more spending is better
00:05:18.340 and that that's exactly what Stephen Gilboa would want to hear. So you can see, they say in 2021-2022,
00:05:25.280 21% of total Canadian programming expenditures was for the CBC. And they say that they accounted for 26%
00:05:34.220 of all spending on news and information and 54% spending on Canadian drama and comedy. So
00:05:40.960 you can see that it's not quality thereafter or even viewer feedback. It's how much can we spend?
00:05:48.840 And the higher the number is, the prouder they are of themselves. What's sort of incredible about that
00:05:53.620 is they say they spend more on news than all other media combined, 54%. I've mentioned that before.
00:06:00.780 The CBC so distorts the media environment, they are larger by spend than all other media combined.
00:06:10.000 So are you surprised that anti-Americanism is so prevalent? Are you surprised that
00:06:14.800 anti-Christian sentiment, pro-Palestine sentiment, like it's really insane. And they, I mean, I presume
00:06:21.980 that if it was 75% or 80% or 90%, they'd even be prouder. What I'm going to show you is actually,
00:06:28.920 although they spend more and hire more, they're actually very poorly viewed.
00:06:32.320 Yeah. And like I say, they brag based on how much money they spend. On the next slide, page five of
00:06:39.960 the slides, you can see just how many different CBC channels there are. Like just stop and think
00:06:45.740 about it. There's CBC and then the French version, Radio Canada. And then there's the news network
00:06:53.560 and a whole bunch of documentary networks. There's four different radio networks with 88 stations,
00:07:01.140 regional networks. And, you know, obviously the versions in French, they have some
00:07:06.080 internet-based system called GEM that I understand is doing very poorly in CBC fights not to give its
00:07:12.700 viewer stats. And it's funny, they have something I had never heard of before in Quebec called Odeo.
00:07:17.960 Now, I don't know a lot of Latin, but I know that the word Odeo means hatred. I'm sure it's just a 0.82
00:07:25.640 coincidence. And again, remember they're boasting. They're boasting about how big they are. To them,
00:07:30.520 that matters more than quality or balance or fairness or accuracy or breaking scoops or holding
00:07:36.840 the government to account. It's just how big are we? That's what they love. And that's what Stephen
00:07:41.420 Gilboa would have loved. So you can see on page six, as of March 31st, 2024, CBC Radio Canada
00:07:48.580 employed over 7,000 employees. I'm not sure why the figure is so dated. And you can see those little
00:07:54.000 dots show where they are. And they have offices in London, Paris, Washington, New York, Mumbai, and
00:07:59.100 Taipei, which are pretty sweet gigs. Can you name, can you tell me the last time an important story
00:08:07.360 was broken out of those foreign offices by the CBC? Or for that matter, in Ottawa. I mean,
00:08:13.020 the thing about the CBC is they're vicious when it comes to holding conservative politicians to
00:08:17.480 account. But when it's Mark Carney or the liberals or the NDP, they turn into little puppy dogs. 0.61
00:08:22.380 They talk a little bit about the CRTC. I'm going to skip over that. They talk about license renewal.
00:08:27.180 That's not interesting to me. But on page nine, they talk about their funding model. It's a little
00:08:31.520 bit hard to see because it's black and white and gray. But you can see that the CBC total revenue
00:08:36.600 is just under $2 billion, of which $1.43 billion came from the taxpayers and 493 came from ads.
00:08:47.320 Now, it's a mess no matter which way you look at it. Those $493 million of ads were sopped up by the
00:08:57.040 government broadcaster. So they weren't going to private broadcasters. They weren't going to CTV or
00:09:03.620 Global or Rebel News. You have a government competitor with a massive $1.4 billion advantage
00:09:11.560 that is still sucking in, hoovering up ad money from private advertisers. Now, I'm not saying I
00:09:18.480 wanted all government funding. That would be terrible also because you're extracting it from
00:09:22.980 the pockets of taxpayers. But I think the CBC was sort of proud that they sold half a billion dollars
00:09:28.020 worth of ads. But that's half a billion dollars worth of ads that didn't go to real independent
00:09:32.380 journalists. You can see a little bit of the breakdown of where that ad money comes from.
00:09:38.400 They have another chart they call funding pressures. Could you imagine the chutzpah? They just bragged
00:09:43.160 that they spend more than any other network. They spend more than all other news channels combined.
00:09:48.000 And they have $2 billion a year. But they have funding pressures, you guys. Adjusted for inflation,
00:09:53.880 it's fallen by $98 million over the last decade. Adjusted for inflation. Wow. We better help the
00:10:00.360 poor deers. You can see that ad revenues fluctuates and, you know, whether that's the Olympics, which
00:10:08.180 is a big moneymaker for them. But look at page 12. You can see subscription fees. There are some
00:10:14.540 services for the CBC that you have to pay a subscription fee. And it's falling. Like, look at this. You can see
00:10:22.840 this chart covers a 10-year period. Canada's population has skyrocketed over the last 10 years,
00:10:30.580 largely through mass immigration. But the number of viewers of the CBC's products is going down. In
00:10:37.740 Quebec, it's pretty much stayed the same. But look at the dark black numbers there. It went down from
00:10:43.920 $75 million in subscription fees 10 years ago to just $60 million now. Like, no one wants to pay for
00:10:51.240 this stuff. No one wants to buy it. I'm going to skip ahead a little bit more. But on page 13,
00:10:57.880 I'll just note that although Quebec makes up less than a quarter of the population,
00:11:02.340 it gets 42% of the CBC's money. That's sort of interesting, isn't it? They have, again,
00:11:09.040 it's about spending. And you can imagine that a cabinet minister from Quebec, like Stephen Guilbault was,
00:11:14.980 would love to hear that. I'm going to skip over their capital funding. But again,
00:11:19.260 they just have, they have hundreds of millions of dollars. On page 15, you can see them complaining
00:11:24.680 that whatever money they have, it's not enough. They want more per capita funding. And they cite
00:11:30.480 various European countries as the baseline. They say that the average of the countries they choose
00:11:37.100 gets $79 per citizen per year from the government. And in Canada, it's only half that. So we should be
00:11:45.000 like those other overtax jurisdictions and give more money to the CBC. I'm going to skip ahead a
00:11:50.640 few charts because they talk about the corporate structure, which is not that interesting. I just
00:11:55.820 want to take one second. On page 18, they have a slide called independence. Independence is a core
00:12:01.120 value in defining characteristic of public service broadcasting that is essential to maintaining
00:12:06.280 public trust. Do you think that the CBC is independent? Do you think that they're nonpartisan?
00:12:12.820 Do you think they give both sides a shot? When was the last time you saw someone on the CBC who was a 1.00
00:12:18.140 skeptic of the theory of man-made global warming or who was a supporter of lawful firearms ownership
00:12:23.800 or who was a skeptic of LGBTQ plus L extremism or made medical assistance in dying? When was the last time
00:12:34.140 on all these key issues, you saw someone with that contrary point of view? Because they're not
00:12:39.580 independent. They're lying. And there must have been a lot of winking going on. Turn to page 20 and
00:12:46.700 you'll see that they talk about public trust. They say Radio Canada is consistently rated the number
00:12:52.440 one most trusted news outlet in Canada's French market. Now, I don't have a lot to say about that
00:12:58.120 other than it's an astounding amount of money. I showed you that almost half of the CBC's resources
00:13:03.500 are spent in Quebec. So it just floods the zone. I'm surprised that any other media can poke their
00:13:10.080 head out. But if you look in English, in the English market, CBC News is the number four most trusted
00:13:17.300 news outlet in Canada's English market. It's behind CTV, behind regional newspapers, behind global news.
00:13:24.960 You have the CBC where 63% of people allegedly trust it. Now, we have to trust the CBC to tell
00:13:32.860 us about trust. But I find it interesting that that number is shrinking. And I think it's in part
00:13:37.480 because of how abusive the CBC is towards conservatives. And I think it's also in part
00:13:41.780 the result of independent news like Rebel News and others pointing out that the CBC are basically
00:13:47.580 regime journalists. I want to show you something interesting on page 21. It's a list of the top
00:13:55.880 10 news websites in Canada. Now, this is two years old. But they say that CBC is number one in terms
00:14:03.400 of traffic ahead of Microsoft and Palmarex is the weather network and others. I don't know if that's
00:14:10.580 quite true. I know that, for example, during the trucker convoy, Rebel News actually exceeded the
00:14:19.520 number of clicks that the CBC did. So I'm not quite convinced. And I don't know if you remember, I
00:14:24.220 showed you, I don't know, a month or two ago, the Reuters Foundation in association with Oxford
00:14:30.600 University did a study showing that Rebel News is, we're not ahead of CBC or CTV, but we're ahead of
00:14:38.460 Global News. Rebel News is a more mentioned, more trusted news site than many of these large regime
00:14:45.660 media. I don't think they would have included Rebel News on this list because they wouldn't
00:14:49.560 want to explain to Stephen Gilboa why they're even talking about us. Remember, we sued him and won
00:14:55.620 when he blocked us on Twitter. But look at page 22, which is an interesting slide. Again, what is this?
00:15:01.760 This is the CBC trying to show how important and impressive it is to Stephen Gilboa in a private
00:15:06.860 meeting. You can see the different companies. So CBC, BCE stands for Bell Canada Enterprises. That
00:15:14.520 means CTV, Citi News and other brands, Chorus and Rogers. So these are different media companies.
00:15:23.160 Bell Canada, which is CTV, is ahead of the CBC in English Canada by almost triple in terms of
00:15:32.120 conventional television. So if you are on TV clicking around global, CTV or other channels,
00:15:38.780 you are three times as likely in English Canada to watch something like CTV than you are CBC.
00:15:45.660 And if you'll notice, the CBC stats are declining year after year. So from 2021 to 2023,
00:15:52.220 it fell from 5.3% to 4.8% to just 4.2%. This is what I mentioned earlier. The CBC admits that at least
00:16:03.240 in 2022, 2023, that only 4.2% of TV watchers tune into the CBC and that falls every year. Now that stat
00:16:13.300 is a couple of years old. I'd love to see it now. I bet it's fallen even further.
00:16:17.440 On the French side, you can see that Quebecor is much better watched than Radio Canada. But also,
00:16:24.800 why is it that Radio Canada keeps falling? That's the French CBC year after year. I find that very 1.00
00:16:30.560 interesting. It's even more so for what they call discretionary television. I think those are sort of
00:16:38.180 the add-ons to your basic cable. Like if you sign up for specialty channels, you can see on the left
00:16:43.500 there in English. Only 2.6% of Canadians sign up for those specialty channels. I honestly don't even
00:16:50.860 know what a CBC specialty channel is. So I'm not part of the 2.6%. Compare that to CTV specialty channels.
00:16:59.660 I just think it's absolutely stunning that the CBC would mention this to Stephen Gilbeau.
00:17:05.040 Radio. Radio. Of course, radio is declining in general. And there's not really a lot to show in
00:17:13.000 that. I want to show you page 25. And not every single page here is riveting. But I talked to you
00:17:21.060 about GEM. That's the CBC's attempt to have a streaming site. They're so secretive about how it's
00:17:27.000 going. They refuse to allow any information about their traffic or their audience size. They compare
00:17:33.160 themselves incredibly to Amazon Prime and Netflix and YouTube. And needless to say, they are smaller
00:17:41.840 than all of them in Canada. It's a bit of audacity to think that you're going to compete with Netflix
00:17:49.120 or YouTube. But they don't even make a dent. It's sort of embarrassing. I guess my point is this. The CBC,
00:17:55.360 nowhere here did they measure consumer satisfaction. Nowhere here did they mention feedback.
00:18:03.160 From ordinary Canadians or the 90 plus percent who simply don't watch it. These are terrible 1.00
00:18:10.800 numbers to report. If this were a real company, a private sector company that didn't have government
00:18:16.580 bailouts, they would be out of business in two weeks when they couldn't make payroll. I showed you
00:18:21.400 the stats. Only a quarter of their money is earned from ads. The rest is a gift. And so it's no surprise
00:18:27.980 that they boast about how wasteful they are, how much money they spend, that they're bigger and more
00:18:32.460 bloated than all other private news companies combined. I think that's not something to brag
00:18:37.720 about. I think that's actually terrifying when literally the majority of news reporters in Canada
00:18:42.080 work for the government. And it has a deleterious effect on the private journalists too. I mean,
00:18:48.460 put yourself in the shoes of a reporter at CTV or global news, not that they're right wing or anything.
00:18:55.520 If those companies have layoffs because they're in the real world and they do get massive subsidies
00:19:00.600 too. But if Chorus or some of these other channels lay off a news reporter, that news reporter, well,
00:19:08.240 who is the biggest employer in Canada that really never has layoffs? Well, the CBC.
00:19:11.940 So even while they're working at CTV or city news or whatever, they're tailoring their work,
00:19:18.720 thinking in the back of their mind, well, if I'm ever laid off, I want to be able to apply
00:19:22.380 to work in the velvet coffin of the CBC. So I want my work to look right on the money on
00:19:28.520 transgenderism, on made medical assistance and dying. I want to be so super anti-Trump. I want to 1.00
00:19:35.940 be super duper anti-Daniel Smith. I want to just love Mark Carney and his speech at Davos. Most
00:19:41.320 amazing speech at Davos, because even when you're working at a private competitor to the CBC, in the
00:19:46.440 back of your mind, you're thinking one day I might have to work for them. And it might happen. I mean,
00:19:51.180 Stephen Harper had a once in a generation opportunity to unplug the CBC, shut it down,
00:19:56.660 privatize it, sell it, whatever, literally hand it to its own staff and just stop the bailout. He missed
00:20:01.820 that opportunity. I think one of the largest opportunities missed in his entire administration.
00:20:07.800 But I just keep coming back to that one statistic, 4.2%. That's how many people watch CBC on television.
00:20:15.480 It's declining every year, but they're just so, so proud of themselves. Stay with us. More ahead.
00:20:21.580 The CBC and CTV either don't cover the pro-liberty side, or if they do, they downplay its size
00:20:39.040 and strength. It's nice to be recognized. And you can see that although the vast majority of
00:20:49.920 Iranians are Muslim, and the freedom-oriented Iranians in Canada are Muslim, they're not a
00:20:56.620 radical Islamist, theocratic Islam like we see in Iran. And there's a comfort with Jews and with 1.00
00:21:05.180 Israel. And even the gratitude that Israel's air force is helping to rough up the regime. 0.63
00:21:12.860 You look a little out of place.
00:21:13.940 What's up with you?
00:21:15.180 Well, I'm here to interview people who are for the Al Quds march. Why are you here?
00:21:19.960 Why? Because we have an occupation lasting 67? 67 years?
00:21:25.960 68 years? And who's occupying whom?
00:21:30.720 You don't know that.
00:21:32.060 I'm just trying to understand what you mean.
00:21:33.640 Are you in Iran? You're asking me that question. You don't know that.
00:21:35.960 If you don't know that, then we can't talk.
00:21:37.900 Well, explain yourself to that.
00:21:38.980 If you don't know that fact, then we can't talk.
00:21:39.840 Are you talking about, are you here for Iran or for Gaza?
00:21:44.380 What's that?
00:21:45.960 Eh?
00:21:46.920 Why are you here?
00:21:47.980 For humanity.
00:21:48.760 And are you worried about the fact that Iran is not a democracy, it's a theocracy that's 0.94
00:21:56.880 killed many of its own people?
00:21:58.340 I love theocracies.
00:21:59.280 You love theocracies?
00:22:00.440 I'm joking. I'm joking.
00:22:01.960 Where are you from originally?
00:22:03.340 Italy.
00:22:04.360 Italy. So, I mean, do you feel out of place here? I'm just trying to understand how you
00:22:09.880 came to... Are you a radical? Are you a communist?
00:22:13.180 I'm not radical.
00:22:13.660 I don't know. You tell me.
00:22:14.700 I don't know.
00:22:15.320 Well, a radical is...
00:22:16.260 You don't know what you can explain a radical.
00:22:18.240 A radical is someone who's...
00:22:19.480 You're not qualified to do this.
00:22:21.260 I'm trying to ask you to...
00:22:22.320 You don't know what a radical means.
00:22:23.380 I know what a radical is.
00:22:24.780 I'm asking you if you're...
00:22:25.560 And if you're an Italian from southern Italy, then you cannot do this. 0.90
00:22:29.860 How did you come to support Iran?
00:22:31.500 Get another job.
00:22:32.340 Okay, I'll get another job.
00:22:35.300 I don't think he wanted to talk to me.
00:22:37.320 I was just... I didn't want to typecast him.
00:22:39.980 I wanted him to use his own words to explain himself.
00:22:44.200 I think he's just sort of anti-American, anti-Canadian.
00:22:46.720 I think he may be a communist ally of the Ayatollahs. 0.90
00:22:52.740 Doug Ford says this is a disgusting gathering.
00:22:55.180 What would you say to Doug Ford?
00:22:57.580 He doesn't want to talk.
00:23:03.040 No war, but class war. 0.99
00:23:04.600 What does that mean?
00:23:07.220 You don't know what it means?
00:23:08.400 Did you make your own sign?
00:23:09.500 Are you holding someone else's sign?
00:23:16.280 How are you?
00:23:17.260 How are you?
00:23:18.340 He doesn't want to talk.
00:23:19.680 Are you here for the rally?
00:23:21.040 Pardon?
00:23:21.400 Are you supporting the rally?
00:23:23.540 Yes, I am.
00:23:24.480 Doug Ford says it's a...
00:23:26.060 He has a lot of hard words for the rally.
00:23:28.220 He calls it anti-Semitic. 0.98
00:23:30.000 He says it's disgusting.
00:23:31.220 And no one has a free license to hate.
00:23:35.840 We won't stand for it.
00:23:37.640 Instead of focusing on what divides us, let's come together and focus on what unites us.
00:23:43.840 What do you say to Doug Ford?
00:23:45.500 I would say that he's misinformed and that he represents the Epstein class rather than democratic forces throughout North America.
00:23:53.560 I think that what we have to look at here is, this is an excellent example of whether you're on the Israeli or anti-Israeli side.
00:24:01.340 It's a very good example that in Canada, we're still allowed to protest things on either side of the fence.
00:24:08.040 I'm happy to see that there was gatherings actually on both sides.
00:24:12.040 And I think that anti-Semitism is deriving out of the fact of Israeli war crimes.
00:24:18.320 At the same time, I don't think, being a Jew, Israel does not represent all Jews.
00:24:24.980 And that's my position on that, right?
00:24:28.700 That's such a confusing bundle of things you said.
00:24:32.040 So you say you're for democracy.
00:24:33.600 I presume that means that's why you support this rally.
00:24:36.580 But Iran itself is very undemocratic.
00:24:39.440 Well, actually, Iran was a brutal dictatorship until 1979.
00:24:43.540 I was a Marine then.
00:24:44.480 I was there.
00:24:45.020 Somehow they successfully overthrew the American Epstein class that had supported and installed the brutal dictator. 0.69
00:24:53.000 Do you think they're more democratic now?
00:24:54.740 Oh, definitely far more democratic.
00:24:56.040 But they don't have free elections.
00:24:57.840 All the candidates are chosen by the supreme leader.
00:25:00.640 That sounds like the U.S. 0.96
00:25:02.980 With the Democrats and Republicans, the only two things those parties have in common is they undermine the 99% all the time.
00:25:10.720 I think what we need to do is get that powerful investor group out of politics and have a functioning democracy where we make decisions based on the benefit for the majority of the people.
00:25:23.900 Who do you think attacked the consulate last week with gunfire?
00:25:28.420 Well, I don't want to speculate.
00:25:29.520 I've got no idea.
00:25:30.700 Who's attacking all the synagogues? 1.00
00:25:32.740 Pardon?
00:25:32.920 Who's attacking all the synagogues? 1.00
00:25:35.680 Well, I think it could have been one person that attacked all of them or it could be a numerous amount of incidents.
00:25:41.520 Are you worried about anti-Semitism in Canada?
00:25:44.320 I don't think that was an act of anti-Semitism.
00:25:46.880 How about attacking the synagogues? 1.00
00:25:48.680 I think it was an act of anti-Zionism.
00:25:51.280 And I do think that's a problem.
00:25:52.700 Well, then what's the difference?
00:25:53.800 Because a synagogue is not an Israeli political institution.
00:25:57.080 It's a place where Jews go to pray.
00:25:59.660 Well, you could say the same thing.
00:26:01.020 Why is Israel bombing Mosque in Iran?
00:26:03.180 There's a place that religious people go to pray.
00:26:05.460 Yet they've been wiped out.
00:26:06.920 But are you saying that it's legitimate to shoot up a...
00:26:11.140 Are you saying it's legitimate to have a synagogue as a target? 0.99
00:26:14.920 I don't agree with any violence, whether you attack a synagogue, a mosque, or a church.
00:26:19.440 You explained it by saying it's because of what Israel did, that they're being attacked.
00:26:24.100 I think all these people are angry about the fact that Israel has started war with nine different countries in the last year.
00:26:31.560 How many people, how many countries has Iran started a war with in the last two weeks?
00:26:36.320 Iran actually hasn't started a war with anybody.
00:26:38.580 Well, it shot rockets at Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, so many countries.
00:26:43.580 All of those bases are supported by the Epstein class and they've targeted U.S. bases.
00:26:48.660 You keep saying the Epstein class. What do you mean by that?
00:26:51.500 The Epstein class represents a very small group of investors who basically have a military-industrial complex,
00:26:58.800 big agro, big oil, the media, and the banks.
00:27:02.400 They have conspired together for over 200 years to take over the U.S. government
00:27:07.580 and project things that will support their particular investor group, but undermines the 99%.
00:27:15.960 When I say 99%, I mean everybody who's not part of the investor group.
00:27:21.880 Well, listen, thanks for talking with me today.
00:27:24.040 No problem. Thank you.
00:27:25.420 What do you think about Doug Ford? He says this is an anti-Semitic gathering.
00:27:30.320 Do you disagree with him?
00:27:31.680 The people united will never be defeated.
00:27:38.140 Do you have anything to say?
00:27:41.020 The people united will never be defeated.
00:27:45.860 I don't blame them. I think silence is about the best thing they could say.
00:27:54.820 Hey, boss, you're selling flags. That's a great idea.
00:27:58.160 Have you sold any Canadian flags on this side?
00:28:01.680 You have?
00:28:03.380 Because I don't see any Canadian flags on this side.
00:28:06.420 I see them on that side.
00:28:07.780 People have bought some. Both sides, right?
00:28:09.880 I don't see any on this side.
00:28:12.080 They have bought them on this side as well.
00:28:13.840 You know what? I think you're doing a great business.
00:28:15.900 You've got the Iranian regime.
00:28:19.840 You've got the Palestine. 0.97
00:28:22.760 They're carrying that.
00:28:23.960 You've got Canada.
00:28:24.700 Do you have the free Iran one with the lion on it? 0.75
00:28:27.540 That's a good one.
00:28:29.660 I have that one.
00:28:30.740 Oh, you have that one, eh?
00:28:31.840 It's another staying still.
00:28:34.460 It's another staying still.
00:28:39.740 Well, we're on the side now of the pro-Hamas, pro-Ayatollah side. 0.79
00:28:45.280 This is the Al-Quds side. 1.00
00:28:47.200 This is the Samidun terrorist side.
00:28:49.920 Now I'm glad we've got our security with us.
00:28:55.840 I'm having a tough time getting people to talk to me.
00:28:59.940 It's not surprising.
00:29:01.340 Many people have their faces covered by a mask.
00:29:04.420 There's an exception, though, to Westerners.
00:29:07.780 Like, I spoke to one Italian fella.
00:29:10.200 I spoke to one American fella.
00:29:12.780 And they seem more voluble, more chatty than the foreign nationals. 1.00
00:29:19.160 What's your name?
00:29:20.500 Nick.
00:29:21.900 And why are you here?
00:29:22.860 You've got a lot of stickers and badges.
00:29:25.440 I'm here because Israel is committing a genocide. 0.95
00:29:29.320 And I think Israel is the new Nazi Germany. 0.94
00:29:34.660 And I think a country that's committing genocide shouldn't be allowed to, you know, whatever the hell they're doing.
00:29:42.520 And they have one right in Israel. 1.00
00:29:46.500 Pick up their shit and get the hell out of Palestine. 1.00
00:29:49.420 So you think every Jew should leave Israel? 1.00
00:29:52.200 I'm talking about Israelis. 1.00
00:29:54.360 The Nazis that live there should pick up their shit and get the hell out of Palestine. 1.00
00:29:58.440 Since 1948, they've been occupying Palestinian land. 1.00
00:30:02.620 So you believe in that phrase, from the river to the sea?
00:30:06.400 Well, Netanyahu says it.
00:30:08.560 And when he says it, he shows a map of greater Israel.
00:30:11.660 So if he says it, I guess it's okay.
00:30:14.960 I'm trying to understand your position.
00:30:17.160 So do you think Israel, all the Jews, should leave Israel?
00:30:21.240 I think they're there illegally. 0.98
00:30:23.360 They've stolen the Palestinian land. 1.00
00:30:25.240 Was that a yes? 1.00
00:30:26.160 And they should pick up their shit and get the hell out of Palestine. 1.00
00:30:28.160 I know you've said that three times. 1.00
00:30:29.640 So what if they don't go?
00:30:31.240 Should they be kicked out through force?
00:30:34.300 Well, what are they doing to the people in Gaza? 0.65
00:30:36.560 They're committing a genocide.
00:30:37.300 Why won't you answer me?
00:30:39.020 I'm trying to see what you want to do.
00:30:41.200 And you keep shifting the subject.
00:30:44.380 Do you think the Israelis or the Jews should be pushed out of the area that you are calling Palestine? 1.00
00:30:51.300 Yeah, the Nazi Zionist Jews that live in Israel should pick up their shit and get the hell out of it. 1.00
00:30:57.860 I know you've said that same line five times. 1.00
00:30:59.840 I'm starting to think you just repeat that line.
00:31:02.480 What do you mean?
00:31:02.920 I'm not answering.
00:31:03.780 I don't know.
00:31:05.000 What do you answer?
00:31:05.620 So if any Jew remains, are they a fair target for terrorism? 0.52
00:31:10.880 I'm not talking about terrorism. 0.72
00:31:12.560 I'm talking to pick up their stuff and get the hell out of it.
00:31:14.740 I know you've said that six times now.
00:31:16.780 It's getting sort of boring.
00:31:18.200 Yeah, but who's the terrorist? 0.97
00:31:20.060 Israel's the terrorist. 0.95
00:31:21.560 Do you think Hamas committed any terrorism on October 7th?
00:31:25.840 But who's been killing Palestinians since 1948?
00:31:28.460 So do you think that October 7th was a terrorist attack by Hamas against Israel?
00:31:35.920 Look, October 7th, you have all these rumors that Netanyahu...
00:31:39.060 So it's a rumor.
00:31:40.560 What do you think?
00:31:41.960 You're not answering any of my questions.
00:31:44.540 Okay.
00:31:45.400 Let me say this to you.
00:31:47.360 What happened October 7th, what Hamas did, compared to what Israel's doing now...
00:31:53.040 So was it wrong?
00:31:53.940 Was October 7th wrong, yes or no? 0.55
00:31:56.080 Israel's a thousand times worse, and they don't deserve to be there. 1.00
00:32:00.340 They should pick up their stuff and get out. 0.98
00:32:02.140 I find it frustrating to talk to you.
00:32:03.600 I'm trying to get your point of view on things, but you just keep repeating some message tracks.
00:32:09.300 Do you think that what Hamas did on October 7th was acceptable? 0.92
00:32:13.560 Do you think it was terrorism?
00:32:15.100 If so, do you think it was...
00:32:16.680 It sounds like you think it was justified.
00:32:18.400 I'm trying to get your moral judgment on that day.
00:32:21.600 Sure is terrible.
00:32:22.580 It's terrible.
00:32:23.260 Killing anybody is terrible.
00:32:24.480 Okay, so what Hamas did is terrible. 0.97
00:32:27.140 What they did, yeah, killing people is terrible.
00:32:29.600 Okay, well thank you for telling me finally.
00:32:31.700 What I'm telling you is that what Israel's doing is a thousand times worse. 0.98
00:32:34.660 They're worse than Nazi Germany, the Israelis. 1.00
00:32:36.840 Israel's worse than Nazi Germany. 0.99
00:32:38.400 Yes, absolutely.
00:32:39.560 Nazi Germany killed not only 6 million Jews, but 50 million Europeans, conquered nations, concentration camps.
00:32:47.200 And you're saying Israel's worse than that.
00:32:49.080 Well, see, the thing in Germany, not everybody knew what was happening.
00:32:54.040 And not everybody was gleeful.
00:32:56.160 But in Israel, everybody knows what's happening.
00:32:59.320 And in Israel, they're gleeful. 0.84
00:33:00.540 How did you come by these beliefs?
00:33:02.300 You sound like you're born in Canada.
00:33:04.320 Watching rebel news.
00:33:05.580 How did you come to be here?
00:33:08.540 You seem like somebody's grandpa.
00:33:11.420 And how did somebody's grandpa start hanging out with terrorist supporters?
00:33:15.300 I'm Ukrainian, and Stalin committed a genocide on Ukrainians.
00:33:19.800 And I know what a genocide is.
00:33:21.840 It's easy to see.
00:33:22.800 It's all over the internet.
00:33:24.880 Well, the population in Gaza is actually higher now than on October 7th.
00:33:30.220 That's like a false argument.
00:33:31.880 I'm just telling you that's...
00:33:33.080 How many have they killed?
00:33:34.180 People say 70,000.
00:33:36.640 Lancet says 400,000, 500,000.
00:33:39.720 You can't just...
00:33:40.780 Those people, they're kids.
00:33:42.880 They're kids.
00:33:43.560 They're...
00:33:43.880 I appreciate you talking to me.
00:33:46.320 I find you confusing.
00:33:48.440 I'm somewhat mystified by your existence.
00:33:51.820 But I appreciate you talking to me.
00:33:55.080 Free palace.
00:33:55.640 Thank you. 0.92
00:33:56.000 Like I say, the Muslim activists, the extremists themselves, won't talk to me.
00:34:03.680 But their Western allies will.
00:34:05.760 It's an interesting thing, don't you think?
00:34:11.160 How come you're here?
00:34:12.960 Oh, because I don't like Israeli war crimes.
00:34:16.400 Yeah.
00:34:16.960 I don't love the Ayatollah, of course. 0.93
00:34:19.640 But I think killing children and bombing countries is wrong, fundamentally.
00:34:24.820 You said an interesting thing, though, because this is organized in part by the Ayatollahs' side of things.
00:34:33.700 The Al-Qaeda.
00:34:35.900 I don't necessarily...
00:34:36.380 The Al-Quds. 1.00
00:34:37.700 Well, you said you don't support the Ayatollahs, but you're wearing the flag. 0.99
00:34:41.520 This is a Palestinian flag, my friend.
00:34:43.420 Oh, sorry.
00:34:43.800 I thought it was the Iranian flag.
00:34:45.760 I thought it was an Iranian flag.
00:34:47.320 No problem.
00:34:47.760 So who do you think should run Iran?
00:34:52.220 Well, it's not a question for me to answer.
00:34:54.380 It's a question for the people of Iran to answer.
00:34:56.540 How should they answer it?
00:34:57.700 Should there be an election?
00:34:59.440 Look, of course.
00:35:00.140 I believe in secular liberal democracy, but that doesn't mean that I have to stand here and
00:35:07.620 say, yeah, I think America and Israel bombing children, putting poisonous gas up in the air. 0.73
00:35:14.140 I don't have to think that's right to think that somebody else should be running Iran.
00:35:18.080 I think that's a tenable position.
00:35:20.120 And how long have you been involved with this movement?
00:35:25.140 Oh, well, I mean, I've been backing a free Palestine since I was very, very young.
00:35:31.440 Oh, yeah, yeah, don't bother with them.
00:35:35.480 Oh, yeah, good point.
00:35:38.080 I just wanted to say that I'm Jewish and my Jewish family has been backing a free Palestine
00:35:42.460 since before I can remember politics.
00:35:44.560 Brother, stop talking to them.
00:35:46.000 They are biased people.
00:35:48.520 Stop talking to them.
00:35:50.660 Go to your side and speak with your people.
00:35:53.520 Who are my people?
00:35:54.680 Who's your people? 0.99
00:35:55.680 The baby killers. 0.87
00:35:56.600 It will be such a day when a person will run away from his brother, mother, father, life
00:36:03.520 and sons.
00:36:05.500 And on that day, everyone will be completely ingrosed in his own concerns. 0.99
00:36:11.100 Doug Ford says you're disgusting. 0.97
00:36:14.600 We talked with your people several times. 0.99
00:36:16.680 We talked with your people several times, but you are biased people.
00:36:21.680 These will be the faces of the sinful. 0.80
00:36:23.120 You are biased people.
00:36:24.540 Are you with the Al-Quds group?
00:36:25.840 Go to that side.
00:36:26.860 You can't talk with the people over there.
00:36:28.340 Doug Ford says that this should be banned.
00:36:31.040 What do you say to Doug Ford?
00:36:32.680 Go to that side.
00:36:33.780 You will get money from that side.
00:36:35.400 Not from here.
00:36:36.180 Go.
00:36:36.800 Are you here to ask people genuine questions?
00:36:38.680 I'm here to listen where people claim.
00:36:41.680 We don't talk to them.
00:36:42.680 We don't talk to them.
00:36:43.680 We don't talk to them.
00:36:44.680 We don't talk to them.
00:36:45.680 We don't talk to them.
00:36:46.680 We don't talk to them.
00:36:47.680 We don't talk to them.
00:36:48.680 Questions are going to ask.
00:36:49.680 What's up to them?
00:36:50.680 Brother, talk to them.
00:36:51.680 You go to the Arab. 1.00
00:36:52.680 There.
00:36:53.680 The big heart.
00:36:54.680 How are you?
00:36:55.680 The big heart.
00:36:56.680 How are you?
00:36:57.680 How are you?
00:36:58.680 You go home.
00:36:59.680 What's that side?
00:37:00.680 Oh, no, sir.
00:37:01.680 This is .
00:37:04.680 Go there.
00:37:05.680 We're under Canadian law.
00:37:06.680 I'm Canadian, but go there.
00:37:08.680 Yeah, no.
00:37:09.680 This is not your private property.
00:37:11.680 It's not my private property.
00:37:13.680 That's right.
00:37:14.680 I'll give him some space to do his thing.
00:37:16.680 How are you?
00:37:17.680 Can I see your sign?
00:37:19.680 Now, Doug Ford wanted to ban this.
00:37:26.680 What do you say to Doug Ford?
00:37:32.680 Do you need his permission to talk?
00:37:35.680 What's your name?
00:37:42.680 To take a moment to recognize and acknowledge the land on which we are living.
00:37:48.680 Oh, they're recognizing today.
00:37:50.680 They're doing a land acknowledgement.
00:37:53.680 I'm sorry.
00:37:54.680 There's just something deeply funny about that.
00:37:56.680 Let's listen.
00:37:57.680 That we are standing on Purple Island and the traditional territories of the Mississaugas,
00:38:06.680 of New Quebec, and other peoples before them.
00:38:11.680 The Ashinaabe and Ocheno.
00:38:16.680 It's quite a collection of communists and radicals.
00:38:21.680 Some people who I think feel like Antifa.
00:38:24.680 None of the foreign nationals will talk with us. 1.00
00:38:28.680 Some of the Canadian born do.
00:38:32.680 Some of the citizens of the Soviet Union.
00:38:34.680 If you were anti-Western in the 70s and 80s, you would be on the side of the Soviet Union trying to undermine America. 0.76
00:38:44.680 Because the greatest counterweight to America through the Cold War was the Soviet Union. 0.83
00:38:49.680 If you are anti-American in 2026, you're in league with radical Islam, because that's 1.00
00:38:59.580 the greatest counterweight to America in the world. 0.58
00:39:03.500 Maybe China is, but in terms of kinetic, violent undermining of the West, if you hate America, 0.65
00:39:10.360 if you hate Canada, if you hate freedom, if you hate capitalism, this is your place.
00:39:17.020 And that's the only way I can make sense of the three or four people I've spoken to here
00:39:22.020 today, including two people who called themselves Jewish. 0.73
00:39:29.460 And I actually believe it, but I think they're a husk of a Jew. 1.00
00:39:33.060 I don't think they're actually truly Jewish. 0.66
00:39:35.260 They're just using that as a dramatic card to play.
00:39:44.380 I don't know.
00:39:45.380 It's a very strange gathering.
00:39:46.380 These are the people who, if they could, would destroy the freedom of Canada and the West.
00:39:53.380 And they're in the hearts of our cities.
00:39:55.780 Like, what's that?
00:40:00.540 What's that lady doing here? 1.00
00:40:02.100 What's that?
00:40:03.100 Is that somebody's grandmother?
00:40:04.880 That's somebody's grandma here at a terrorist-sponsored event.
00:40:08.500 I think he played a game.
00:40:09.500 I think so, too.
00:40:10.500 Yeah.
00:40:11.500 He went to the last minute to probably influence and dampen the numbers here, and to also give
00:40:17.900 the illusion to his side, let's call it, that he was doing something.
00:40:20.900 I think you're exactly right.
00:40:21.900 He was playing games.
00:40:22.900 I think you're right.
00:40:23.900 Very calculating man.
00:40:24.900 You can't trust him at all.
00:40:25.900 You can't trust him at all.
00:40:27.300 I think we agree on that.
00:40:28.300 What else?
00:40:29.300 Now, I bet we disagree on a lot.
00:40:31.300 I would imagine.
00:40:32.300 Why are you here?
00:40:33.300 Why are you here?
00:40:34.300 I still have some humanity left.
00:40:36.300 You know?
00:40:37.300 How are you?
00:40:38.300 Good.
00:40:39.300 We are not Zionism, but not Judaism. 0.97
00:40:43.300 You're laughing?
00:40:44.300 I think you're sort of funny.
00:40:46.300 You're going to find another injunction.
00:40:48.300 What's up?
00:40:49.300 Judaism? 0.63
00:40:50.300 Yes.
00:40:51.300 Judaism? 0.63
00:40:52.300 Yes.
00:40:53.300 Zionism? 0.99
00:40:54.300 No.
00:40:55.300 Judaism? 0.63
00:40:56.300 Do you remember when you were arrested on the bat?
00:40:59.300 I do remember.
00:41:01.300 Peter Jack.
00:41:02.300 What's your name? 1.00
00:41:03.300 The fuck you. 1.00
00:41:04.300 I believe it. 1.00
00:41:06.300 That's what your mother named you when she saw you.
00:41:09.300 Fake journalists creating false news.
00:41:13.300 They will take your words and twist them against you.
00:41:17.300 What's your middle name?
00:41:19.300 What's your middle name?
00:41:20.300 What's your middle name?
00:41:21.300 ...media to an event marshal.
00:41:28.300 Thank you for your attention to the state of caution.
00:41:31.300 The police turning principles in mind.
00:41:33.300 The police turning principles in mind.
00:41:34.300 The police turning principles in mind.
00:41:35.300 The police turning principles in mind.
00:41:36.300 You know?
00:41:37.300 What's your name?
00:41:38.300 Look at these jokers, yo.
00:41:39.300 I know you've said that three times now.
00:41:40.300 Give me anything else to say.
00:41:41.300 Look at these reactionaries, yo.
00:41:42.300 The reactionaries.
00:41:43.300 The reactionaries.
00:41:44.300 David.
00:41:45.300 David.
00:41:46.300 I like your coat.
00:41:48.300 He is a sports person for a Jewish.
00:41:52.300 Pretty fancy coat.
00:41:53.300 Well we started off on the side of the US consulate.
00:41:55.300 consulate then we talked to the pro freedom side and now we're fairly deep in the pro ayatollah
00:42:04.180 pro hamas side and it's very unusual because at bathurst and shepherd that's that neighborhood
00:42:10.180 corner in toronto the jewish neighborhood where you used to have dueling protests the police would
00:42:16.980 exit us from the palestinian side of the street all the time in fact once i was arrested for not
00:42:23.220 leaving that was on a public sidewalk in my own neighborhood so here at this big al could say
00:42:28.980 rally this terror march we're right in the thick of it like we're literally in the heart of it
00:42:35.620 there are some pro hamas minders trying to stop people from talking with us
00:42:40.660 and they've been fairly successful but it's quite unusual to be right in the middle of it
00:42:46.420 and the spokesman the mc for the event has made a few statements about staying calm
00:42:51.780 and not reacting and reporting things that are strange and i think they're very very alive to
00:42:58.900 the fact that they're under scrutiny and if they commit any scuffle any assault any violence
00:43:06.420 they probably will be arrested today whereas they haven't been in the past so it's really
00:43:12.900 unusual to be in the thick of it there's one thing that's also unusual compared to
00:43:17.220 our normal reports from bathurst and shepherd which is the number of ethnic canadians and by that i mean
00:43:23.700 white folks at that bathurst and shepherd weekly hate march it's almost exclusively foreign nationals but 0.56
00:43:32.740 here i'm a little surprised there's so many canadian born and bred communists dissidents anti-americans
00:43:41.780 and frankly they're the only ones talking to me but uh i know it's a little bit unusual to be in the
00:43:47.780 heart of it i see a few symbols i don't understand what's that what you are lying how are you boss 0.51
00:43:57.860 what brings you here today no i'm good you're good doug ford says that this is a disgusting rally what do
00:44:05.780 you say to doug ford are you muslim yourself are you just supportive of them are you supportive of
00:44:12.100 iran or gaza hi sir i'm guys how are you today he's less chatty than some of the other folks i've seen
00:44:20.580 the zaynish movement yeah what's your name sorry before i answer or ask anything
00:44:28.900 what do you hope to gain out of coming here on this side no no hate just curious yeah i appreciate
00:44:53.940 the question i'm azra by the way um what if anyone wants to say anything to me i'm open to hear it
00:45:03.140 because very few people on this side will talk to me and there's minders like those two guys
00:45:08.820 telling people not to talk to me my first question to people was what do you make of doug
00:45:13.780 ford's statement that this is a terrible meeting try what's the question i suppose that's what it's
00:45:30.500 like to live in a place like iran or gaza you're not allowed freedom of speech there's always a minder 0.86
00:45:38.100 there's always what's your name what's your name boss if this were any other day they would be
00:45:47.700 assaulting us but because there's so many police here and there's such a heightened political interest
00:45:53.140 they're actually the best behaved i've ever seen are you allowed to talk to me it's not about the
00:46:11.860 allowed uh it's it's more just they informed me the true uh likely your position and i have no interest
00:46:17.220 talking you guys are a zionist i'm a jew it doesn't matter you can be an anti-zionist of course i'm a 0.60
00:46:25.300 zionist that's enough of your time thank you it's uh it's a brainwashing it's a mind virus anti-semitism 0.84
00:46:38.180 the muslim world is largely anti-semitic i uh and with mass immigration that comes to canada 0.96
00:46:45.940 but there are also old stock canadians who are discovering an age-old anti-semitism again too
00:46:53.060 it's too bad well it's after four o'clock what an interesting afternoon it's been
00:47:00.500 scarlet tell me a little bit about your day i mean i was fairly uneventful on my side i was with the pro
00:47:06.180 freedom iranians uh the jews and canadians standing against al-quds day so it was the usual kind of
00:47:12.340 celebratory mood everybody's dancing to the ymca waving canadian american israeli
00:47:17.700 line and sun flags so it was a good time are you surprised by how few al-quds people are here today 1.00
00:47:23.540 i thought it was going to be bigger yeah i am especially because i thought maybe they would be
00:47:27.140 emboldened after the string of shootings that are clearly connected i thought maybe that would
00:47:31.300 encourage them to come out more but maybe doug ford's words actually had some influence i i don't know
00:47:37.220 well there's an enormous number of police here now david you did something i've never seen you do
00:47:41.700 before because you haven't been able to do it before and that is to go right into the hearts of of
00:47:47.780 hundreds i'd say there's probably 200 al-quds people there you walked right in you had security
00:47:56.020 i'm really glad we got some heavy duty security because you went right into the heart of darkness
00:48:00.900 some cops went really close to you too but they didn't stop you and the pro hamas types 0.99
00:48:07.700 they didn't assault you this is very new i think they wanted to ezra and uh yes i went into the belly
00:48:15.460 of the beast and it reminds me of that old line about a yoko ono concert it started out bad and then
00:48:21.460 proceeded to get horrid and by that ezra you can't get these people to articulate their position
00:48:29.220 well folks i've really enjoyed the day we had a very large crew here today on camera myself scarlett
00:48:36.340 and david on holding the camera our dear friends efron lincoln and patcholo who's new to our team as
00:48:43.460 well so that's six of us but then we had six security and then with six security they brought a
00:48:49.460 security boss so we actually had seven security six journalists we had a 13 person team today and at
00:48:57.540 first i thought maybe the security were superfluous but when we went in the heart of darkness i was
00:49:02.340 really glad we had them we're the only journalists in canada who have to hire security because whether
00:49:09.060 it's antifa or islamists they would do us in if they could if you can help us cover the cost please do
00:49:15.940 by going to journalistdefensefund.com on behalf of rebel news and my colleagues and my behind the scenes
00:49:24.900 colleagues from us to you thanks from watching and keep fighting for freedom
00:49:41.380 hey welcome back your letters to me it's great to be back by the way i'm sorry i was traveling and then
00:49:44.900 i got stranded if you can believe it there was so much air travel because of spring break in different
00:49:49.620 places that i was stranded and my flight and mechanically i was stranded in an airport for 24
00:49:54.660 hours which sounds like something that would happen to you in some exotic place but it was in canada
00:49:59.780 i'm really happy to be back um jeff headrich writes on alberta he says united conservative
00:50:06.340 party gaining against ndp in alberta but somehow we're supposed to believe the libs are gaining ground
00:50:10.500 over conservatives color me skeptical yeah i don't understand what's going on with the federal
00:50:15.540 liberals and conservatives i just don't get it i see pierre polyev just recorded a show on the joe
00:50:20.660 rogan podcast that's the most popular podcast in america or maybe candace owens has more viewers now 1.00
00:50:26.660 but rogan is a a serious interviewer who loves very long conversations two hours or more
00:50:32.980 um it'll be interesting to see if uh if pierre polyev's new pr effort pays off
00:50:40.020 pat b says i saw the polls it's ndp support going to liberals keep in mind there are lots
00:50:44.900 of easterners moving here unfortunately yeah i don't understand the polls and um maybe we should
00:50:50.020 have a pollster on to talk a little bit about it i just have trouble believing that the federal
00:50:54.580 liberals are ahead of the federal conservatives but who knows maybe it goes back to the monologue
00:50:59.540 of today's show that the cbc is larger than all other news media combined and they just sort of have
00:51:04.900 a brainwashing effect gordon rutledge says as an alberton i'm sickened by liberals suddenly
00:51:10.340 interested in producing oil and gas and patting themselves on the back with alberta's effort
00:51:14.260 i can't leave this broken country soon enough well that's the thing there was a weird statement by
00:51:19.060 the prime minister and the energy minister the other day about can i gonna release millions of
00:51:24.340 barrels of reserves of oil that's not how it works we don't have like in the united states
00:51:31.140 there's something called the strategic petroleum reserve china has one too it's basically buying oil
00:51:36.660 uh and pumping it into a vast underground cavern like just to store it and then if it's needed they
00:51:45.220 can pump it pretty quickly we don't do that in canada we have so much oil we're a net oil exporter
00:51:50.820 uh we would we don't need to do that we have billions of barrels we can just go and produce if we
00:51:56.580 want it so there's nothing to be released like there's just it makes no sense and i don't know if mark
00:52:03.060 carney knew that and he just didn't care about being accurate i saw so many media reporting that
00:52:08.820 and none of them said what oil who none of them even checked with an oil company is that really
00:52:13.860 going to happen i think that the media is so domesticated so tamed and trained they'll publish
00:52:20.660 complete bs like that without even a drop of curiosity i mean do you not have any curiosity
00:52:26.260 you're a reporter you've been working the beat for 20 or 30 years you've never heard of the strategic
00:52:32.020 petroleum reserve in canada because we don't have one you've probably heard of the american you've
00:52:35.460 never heard of that but suddenly you are a stenographer when mark carney says he's going
00:52:40.420 to release millions of barrels from it it's an embarrassing state of the media but you knew that
00:52:45.300 that's our show for today until tomorrow on behalf of all of us here at rebel world headquarters to you
00:52:49.940 at home good night and keep fighting for freedom
