In a town hall meeting, a group of Microsoft employees were asked to identify themselves by their pronouns, and they did not do so well. They struggled to come up with a list of pronouns, but they still managed to get a lot of people confused about who they are and how they identify themselves.

00:00:00.400 Hello, my Rebels. Today's podcast, it's unbelievable. I mean, it's almost hard to believe this is real and not some sort of satire.
00:00:08.020 It's a town hall meeting by Microsoft, and it's allegedly about some software product.
00:00:14.080 But everyone spends so much time not just saying their pronouns, but their height and their hair color and their race.
00:00:22.360 I've never seen anything like it. It's one of those podcasts, though, where it would really be great to have the video version of it.
00:00:28.700 Because you've got to see this with your own eyes. And luckily, we have a video version of this podcast every day.
00:00:34.840 We call it Rebel News Plus. Just go to rebelnewsplus.com and click subscribe.
00:00:39.820 It's eight bucks a month, in addition to my daily show. You get weekly shows from Andrew Chapados, David Menzies, Sheila Gunn-Reed.
00:00:49.580 You get the video format, which is so great, and you get the satisfaction of supporting Rebel News.
00:00:55.080 It's eight bucks a month. It's not a ton. It's half the price of Netflix.
00:00:59.320 But, you know, it adds up for us, and it's one of the reasons we're able to decline any government money from any government.
00:01:06.340 That's why we can tell it like it is.
00:01:08.400 So go to Rebel News Plus and click subscribe. It would be a great favor to me, and I think you'd really like it.
00:01:13.800 All right, here's today's podcast.
00:01:15.080 Tonight, I want to show you the wokest company in the world. 1.00
00:01:34.160 You're going to be embarrassed for them.
00:01:36.060 It's November 5th, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:38.780 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:44.640 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:48.740 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:01:59.680 How do you introduce yourself to people?
00:02:01.820 You probably say your name.
00:02:03.900 That's just being normal and friendly, so people know what to call you, maybe so they can associate you with a name they have only seen on an email or a voice they've heard on the phone.
00:02:17.020 Saying your name is just normal human communication.
00:02:20.720 If the nature of your meeting is relevant, you might identify yourself by another characteristic, too.
00:02:27.640 If you're at a wedding, you might say how you're related to the happy couple.
00:02:32.080 If you're at a business convention, you might say the company you're with.
00:02:37.360 Useful, relevant, helpful to the other person.
00:02:42.980 But what do you think of this?
00:02:44.580 I swear this is real.
00:02:47.460 Hello, everyone.
00:02:48.640 I'm Natali Godilla.
00:02:49.820 I'm a Caucasian woman with long blonde hair, and I go by she, her.
00:02:53.400 I'm a product marketing lead here at Microsoft and co-host of the podcast Security Unlocked with this guy.
00:02:58.960 Yes, that would be me.
00:02:59.940 Hello, everyone.
00:03:00.440 I'm Nick Fillingham.
00:03:01.180 I'm a Caucasian man with glasses and a beard.
00:03:03.440 I go by he, him, and I'm a security evangelist here at Microsoft.
00:03:06.600 We are so excited to be with you.
00:03:09.580 What did we just watch?
00:03:11.840 Here, let's break that down a little bit.
00:03:14.700 Hello, everyone.
00:03:15.920 I'm Natali Godilla.
00:03:17.120 I'm a Caucasian woman with long blonde hair, and I go by she, her.
00:03:20.800 I'm a product marketing lead here at Microsoft and co-host of the podcast Security Unlocked.
00:03:25.520 I'm a Caucasian woman with long blonde hair.
00:03:28.640 Yeah, we know that.
00:03:31.400 We saw that.
00:03:33.020 We just didn't know that you were so self-conscious about it, that it was so important to who you are, that you would tell us that characteristic, which, by the way, we can see for ourselves.
00:03:45.160 Before you say anything else about yourself.
00:03:48.540 This is your most important identity, is it?
00:03:51.960 The most relevant that actually does tell us a lot about you, in a way, that you're working for Microsoft, but that you really don't think computers or software or, frankly, anything productive is the most important thing.
00:04:05.340 But posing, being woke, and implicitly peer-pressuring others into the same wacky custom, that's important to you.
00:04:14.540 That's your job.
00:04:16.360 That's how you get ahead at Microsoft in 2021.
00:04:19.260 Imagine if you actually met someone in real life.
00:04:20.940 Oh, hi, I'm Ezra.
00:04:22.140 I'm 5'9", I'm embarrassingly heavy, and I wear glasses.
00:04:28.420 Like, imagine if you were that weird in real life.
00:04:30.580 You would pull back from someone.
00:04:33.420 Only at the very end does she rattle off what she actually does at Microsoft.
00:04:38.040 She hosts a podcast.
00:04:39.960 But, of course, she does.
00:04:41.120 I guess that's what Microsoft is busy with these days, if you're that woke.
00:04:46.160 Let's look at the next clip.
00:04:47.400 This guy.
00:04:48.040 Yes, that would be me.
00:04:48.860 Hello, everyone.
00:04:49.540 I'm Nick Fillingham.
00:04:50.460 I'm a Caucasian man with glasses and a beard.
00:04:52.360 I go by he, him, and I'm a security evangelist here at Microsoft.
00:04:55.700 You're a Caucasian man with glasses and a beard. 0.86
00:05:00.400 Is that who you really are?
00:05:02.160 That's your core.
00:05:03.000 That's your essence.
00:05:05.180 Glasses?
00:05:06.500 A beard?
00:05:08.840 Did we not just see that for ourselves?
00:05:11.200 Is there a meaning to that?
00:05:13.560 Is there an importance to that?
00:05:14.540 Is that some secret code?
00:05:15.720 Should we categorize people along those lines in the future?
00:05:20.780 Bearded or not bearded?
00:05:22.200 Where does a mustache fit in?
00:05:24.940 Glasses or no glasses?
00:05:26.420 What about contact lenses?
00:05:27.700 I don't know.
00:05:28.320 Do sunglasses count?
00:05:30.760 Suddenly, are we supposed to value these things?
00:05:33.980 Pay attention to these things?
00:05:35.480 Aren't we supposed to ignore such things?
00:05:39.820 Especially race.
00:05:42.160 Haven't we just gone through an entire civil rights movement this last half century to get past race and sex?
00:05:50.040 And are you really Caucasian? 0.68
00:05:53.460 By the way, what would Barack Obama say?
00:05:56.300 He's half white.
00:05:57.160 His mom.
00:05:57.880 He's half black.
00:05:58.700 His dad.
00:05:59.960 What would he say?
00:06:01.100 What would Tiger Woods say?
00:06:02.380 He has a lot of different ethnic backgrounds.
00:06:05.420 Is it really that important?
00:06:07.380 What percentage of your blood quantum should you identify?
00:06:12.300 Do you have to prove it somehow?
00:06:13.840 Do you have to take a genetics test like 23andMe or some other way to describe yourself that's irrelevant and frankly racist?
00:06:21.100 Do you have to tell the truth?
00:06:22.600 Rachel Dolezal is white.
00:06:24.040 She says she's black.
00:06:25.340 Same with Sean King.
00:06:26.320 You know, this is racist in the purest definition of that word.
00:06:32.380 It is literally saying your race is your essence, your most important thing.
00:06:38.480 Not your brain.
00:06:39.420 Not your mind.
00:06:40.160 All our brains are the same color gray.
00:06:43.000 Isn't the gray matter what counts?
00:06:46.200 I'm suddenly looking at these people up and down in a way I don't think I would do before.
00:06:50.780 Does their clothing matter?
00:06:53.540 Why or why not?
00:06:54.760 The lady described her hair, but now that I'm thinking about it, I'm wondering about his hair.
00:07:02.120 Is that a mohawk?
00:07:04.300 Are you allowed to do that or is that cultural appropriation?
00:07:08.380 This is Microsoft, I swear.
00:07:10.260 Here's another excerpt from this madness.
00:07:12.840 Take a look.
00:07:13.260 Hello and welcome to Microsoft Ignite.
00:07:17.880 We've got a big day ahead and lots in store for you.
00:07:22.180 First, we want to acknowledge that the land where the Microsoft campus is situated was traditionally occupied by the Sammamish, the Duwamish, the Snoqualmie, the Suquamish, the Muckleshoot, the Snohomish, the Tulalip,
00:07:38.640 and other Coast Salish peoples since time immemorial, a people that are still here continuing to honor and bring to light their ancient heritage.
00:07:49.640 My name is Allison Wines.
00:07:52.300 I'm a senior program manager in our developer tools division.
00:07:55.700 I'm an Asian and white female with dark brown hair wearing a red sleeveless top.
00:08:01.260 And I'm Seth Juarez, program manager in the AI Platform Group.
00:08:04.380 I'm a tall Hispanic male wearing a blue shirt, khaki pants.
00:08:07.760 Today we kick off two days of learning more about the latest solutions, exploring how these key innovations can empower you to do great things and connecting with peers from around the world.
00:08:16.580 Welcome to Microsoft Ignite.
00:08:18.880 I actually still don't know what that is because my head is being filled with things that would make a first year grievance studies major at university, you know, spin around.
00:08:30.320 You guys are going too far.
00:08:31.840 Let's take a look.
00:08:33.020 Hello and welcome to Microsoft Ignite.
00:08:36.600 We've got a big day ahead and lots in store for you.
00:08:40.240 First, we want to acknowledge that the land where the Microsoft campus is situated was traditionally occupied by the Sammamish, the Duwamish, the Snoqualmie, the Suquamish, the Muckleshoot, the Snohomish, the Tulalip, and other Coast Salish peoples since time immemorial.
00:09:01.900 A people that are still here continuing to honor and bring to light their ancient heritage.
00:09:08.340 My name is Allison Wines.
00:09:11.000 I'm a senior program manager in our developer tools division.
00:09:14.280 I'm an Asian and white female with dark brown hair wearing a red sleeveless top.
00:09:19.540 Asian and white female, dark brown hair, sleeveless top. 0.61
00:09:23.480 I wasn't thinking about her sleeveless top before.
00:09:26.840 Am I supposed to be thinking about it?
00:09:28.820 I think sleeveless tops are something that someone who's very confident in their body would wear.
00:09:35.920 Show off strong arms, lean arms if you're fit, if you're really fit.
00:09:39.680 But what if you're really fat?
00:09:40.900 You probably wouldn't wear a sleeveless top, right?
00:09:44.460 Am I supposed to be thinking about those sorts of things in the workplace especially?
00:09:49.800 Are we supposed to be pointing things out like that?
00:09:52.980 You're a computer company, right?
00:09:54.420 Software company.
00:09:55.020 Why does she say she's half white?
00:10:00.360 White is a color.
00:10:02.240 But the other two folks said Caucasian, which is a place around the Caucasus.
00:10:08.000 Just how white is white?
00:10:09.700 Can you be white but not Caucasian? 0.96
00:10:11.880 I don't know.
00:10:13.020 Can you be Caucasian but not white? 0.81
00:10:16.160 And by the way, hair color these days is often engineered.
00:10:19.480 People dye their hair either to cover up the gray or to get a different look or even, I don't know, it'd be dramatic.
00:10:26.620 Like you occasionally see pink hair or green hair.
00:10:30.800 Is that important?
00:10:33.080 How about tattoos?
00:10:34.580 If you have a scar?
00:10:35.420 Like I know that when police, you know, put out a wand and they say he has a scar on his chin or he has a visible tattoo.
00:10:42.780 To, is, I understand why police do that, but if you work at Microsoft, if you have a scar, do you have to tell people it's some other injury?
00:10:53.220 Are you obligated to bring it to the viewer's attention?
00:10:56.380 I mean, wasn't that considered rude until like about a minute ago?
00:11:01.620 But I did learn that Dr. Evil has moved to a new lair outside of Tokyo, Japan.
00:11:05.880 Hmm.
00:11:08.940 By the way, I realize that I have a large mole on my face.
00:11:13.060 Where?
00:11:14.820 What?
00:11:15.880 Where's that mole?
00:11:17.740 I didn't see one.
00:11:20.420 I also realize the irony that I am myself a mole.
00:11:25.080 No one would make that connection.
00:11:26.940 Anyway, well done, old chap.
00:11:33.260 Jolly good work.
00:11:34.420 Yes, nice to mole you. 0.99
00:11:35.960 Meet you.
00:11:36.640 Nice to meet you, mole.
00:11:37.700 Don't say mole.
00:11:38.780 Stop.
00:11:39.160 I said mole.
00:11:39.880 Stop.
00:11:44.540 Bye.
00:11:45.080 Mole.
00:11:50.720 Mole.
00:11:55.860 Mole.
00:11:56.260 I'm five foot nine and I have a mole.
00:12:06.360 Yeah.
00:12:07.580 Let me guess.
00:12:08.480 If you can make people talk about irrelevant, even private characteristics like that, you can
00:12:15.180 probably make them disclose, I don't know, how many vaccine shots and boosters they took.
00:12:20.420 I mean, seriously, why are you making everyone disclose their race, their other personal details?
00:12:26.660 I think that's really weird.
00:12:28.700 I was immediately distracted by the half dozen indigenous tribes that were mentioned, by the
00:12:34.820 way.
00:12:34.980 Now, I actually know a few of those.
00:12:36.520 Believe it or not, if you ever drive down from Vancouver in Canada into Washington State,
00:12:41.480 you go through a lot of places that, you know, that are named after these tribes.
00:12:47.500 I, you know, I'm actually interested in those things.
00:12:52.080 I don't honestly believe Microsoft is.
00:12:55.460 I think they're just trying to outwoke the other guy.
00:12:58.520 I think people who were watching this video wanted to learn about something called Microsoft
00:13:04.500 Ignite, whatever that is.
00:13:06.140 I don't believe that lady who rattled off those names of tribes. 0.53
00:13:11.060 I don't believe she knows or actually cares about those tribes.
00:13:14.340 Just a hunch.
00:13:15.260 I think she was just reciting it the same way she was talking about her sleeveless shirt and
00:13:19.900 the color of her hair.
00:13:20.860 My point is, I don't care about her sleeveless shirt, but she mentioned it with the exact
00:13:27.100 same importance and gravity with which she mentioned the Indian tribes, which is to say,
00:13:31.400 it's pretty clear she really doesn't give a damn about them any more than what shirt she's
00:13:37.860 wearing that day.
00:13:38.780 But we haven't heard about how tall or short anyone is yet.
00:13:45.080 Are they heightest?
00:13:47.240 Is that a word?
00:13:48.200 Here, take a look.
00:13:49.220 And I'm Seth Juarez, Program Manager of the AI Platform Group.
00:13:52.300 I'm a tall Hispanic male wearing a blue shirt, khaki pants.
00:13:55.680 Today, we kick off two days of learning more about the latest solutions, exploring how these
00:13:59.640 key innovations can empower you to do great things and connecting with peers from around
00:14:04.060 the world.
00:14:04.560 So he's a tall Hispanic male in a blue shirt and khaki pants.
00:14:10.280 Why is he the first person who mentioned his height?
00:14:13.420 I don't get the rules here.
00:14:15.180 And why didn't he describe his hair?
00:14:17.400 Are any of these things optional?
00:14:19.300 Is there like you have to list four things about yourself and you can choose the color
00:14:23.800 of your shirt if you want?
00:14:25.440 I don't know.
00:14:25.920 You know, Microsoft used to be a wonderful, leading American company.
00:14:31.580 I suppose it still does some things well.
00:14:33.700 I don't know.
00:14:34.240 I don't think I use a lot of Microsoft stuff anymore.
00:14:38.260 But I remember when I was much younger, when personal computers became really popular,
00:14:43.680 Microsoft made the operating system, MS-DOS is what it was called.
00:14:49.760 That was used on all the IBM personal computers.
00:14:53.940 And there were really two approaches to personal computers, Apple and IBM PCs.
00:15:00.860 And Microsoft made the operating system for the IBM PCs, personal computers.
00:15:07.820 By the way, where are IBM personal computers now, all the ones that used to run on Microsoft?
00:15:13.100 I mean, it used to be so huge in the personal computer market.
00:15:18.600 But do you remember?
00:15:20.780 They sold their personal computer business to China in 2005.
00:15:29.060 America sold one of its pioneering personal computer companies to China.
00:15:37.060 I don't know.
00:15:37.920 I guess at least they paid for it, unlike how Huawei just stole.
00:15:43.100 All the intellectual property from Canada's Nortel.
00:15:45.820 They stole it, hacked it, and then destroyed the company.
00:15:49.600 At least with Lenovo, they just paid for IBM's computers.
00:15:54.680 I'm pretty sure that Huawei's tech labs and Lenovo's headquarters, I'm pretty sure when they have company conferences, they don't identify themselves by their height or hair color or ethnicity.
00:16:11.140 Then again, there really isn't a lot of diversity in those companies, not even other Chinese ethnic groups like Uyghur Muslims or Tibetans.
00:16:21.520 I don't think you'd see a lot of Tibetans working for Huawei, or at least not publicly.
00:16:26.000 Now, I never want us to treat minorities the way China's dictatorship treats minorities. 0.96
00:16:32.800 But what we've seen here from Microsoft, while not as evil, is much more absurd, turning humans into nothing but race and sex and gender and hairstyle and height and sleeves on or off.
00:16:50.400 It's madness.
00:16:53.260 It's decadent.
00:16:55.540 It's what Rome must have looked like in its final years before it fell.
00:17:02.400 Stay with us for more.
00:17:03.560 Hey, welcome back.
00:17:16.680 Well, you know, we talk about the pandemic a lot because it's the worst civil liberties crisis ever to hit Canada.
00:17:23.060 Perhaps the worst thing ever to hit Canada since the two world wars, which cost so many lives.
00:17:29.480 I don't know if the pandemic itself will cost as many lives, but it certainly ruined millions, even if it hasn't killed them.
00:17:37.900 I'm speaking, of course, about the lockdowns and the response to the virus.
00:17:42.400 The virus itself is slightly worse than the annual death toll from the flu.
00:17:49.280 But we do fight other fights and talk about other things.
00:17:52.320 And you might recall that in the province of Alberta, a couple of years ago, before the pandemic was a thing, we were worried about the education minister in the former NDP provincial government.
00:18:04.620 His name was David Egan, and he was just awful. 0.84
00:18:07.960 He first came to my attention as some crazy, childish, juvenile, anti-oil sands protester. 0.96
00:18:16.420 And when I learned he was appointed to cabinet, I was terrified for that reason. 0.80
00:18:20.500 Here's just a reminder of just how awful David Egan is at anything.
00:18:25.900 Take a look.
00:18:26.700 No new approvals.
00:18:28.300 No new approvals.
00:18:29.980 No new approvals.
00:18:31.780 No new approvals.
00:18:34.260 Minister Egan, do you feel responsible for making an entire generation?
00:18:38.580 He's not doing any interviews.
00:18:39.780 Do you work for him?
00:18:40.800 So are you partly responsible for the 40% of grade nine students who failed math?
00:18:44.160 Minister Egan, can you tell me why you posed next to a bunch of children flagging the ISIS symbol?
00:18:51.260 I'm Claire Wilde.
00:18:52.420 Maybe next step, next election, you could work on disability stuff.
00:18:55.800 Yes, yes, absolutely.
00:18:56.500 Please.
00:18:57.020 You betcha.
00:18:57.580 Absolutely.
00:18:58.900 Good luck with that.
00:19:00.180 Can you tell me why one of your staffers just tried to lift my camera off my shoulder?
00:19:04.020 Do you feel at all responsible for the 40% of grade nine math students who failed under your watch?
00:19:10.600 I told you he doesn't have a comment today.
00:19:12.700 He was just here for the students.
00:19:13.900 Did you enjoy the billboard on the side of Highway 2?
00:19:18.560 No?
00:19:22.000 Well, you can imagine that guy being in charge of education and how what students were learning in Alberta began to plummet.
00:19:30.380 And so we erected a billboard along the side of the highway.
00:19:34.680 That's a move we like to do, especially in Alberta.
00:19:36.840 And it was a very simple message to fire Egan, fire David Egan.
00:19:43.120 As you may know, only one person can fire a cabinet minister.
00:19:45.940 That's Rachel Notley herself.
00:19:48.740 Obviously, she wasn't going to do it, but we wanted to express our point of view.
00:19:51.680 However, the NDP and their elections commissioner at the time liked to stamp out any such dissent.
00:20:01.500 And although we put that billboard up at a time when an election wasn't even months away, this was definitely not during the election.
00:20:09.300 The elections commissioner, handpicked by Rachel Notley to hunt her enemies, came in for the kill and investigated us and condemned us and reprimanded us and threatened to fine us.
00:20:23.840 Well, obviously, we appealed, and that was in the Court of Appeal today.
00:20:29.980 And joining us now is our friend Sheila Gunn-Reed, our chief reporter, who was following the hearing in the Court of Appeal.
00:20:36.520 Sheila, great to see you again.
00:20:38.080 I'm not sure if I summed up all the important details, but basically that billboard so irritated the Rachel Notley government 1.00
00:20:46.200 that they had some bizarre witch hunt trying to ban us from saying that, claiming it was an illegal political campaign expression or something, right?
00:20:57.560 Yeah, and it's even more complicated than that because it comes down to the ability for all Albertans to be treated fairly under the law.
00:21:08.380 Because what happened to us, if you look at the timeline, it really was a witch hunt, but witches at least get the show trial.
00:21:15.360 We didn't even get that, and that was the real problem here.
00:21:18.560 Today, we were appealing a judicial review of the initial decision because we wanted a judicial review to point out that we had really had been treated unfairly.
00:21:30.300 And I should explain that before we get a little further because it is so complicated.
00:21:34.120 But it comes right down to freedom of speech and being able to be treated fairly.
00:21:38.360 What happened was we put this billboard up at the end of November 2018.
00:21:43.160 By the middle of December, sort of towards the middle latter part of December, so we're headed into the Christmas season, and don't kid yourself, government workers are not doing any hard work towards the end of December.
00:21:54.660 But we get a letter in the mail saying, we've opened an investigation into your billboard, and we want you to register your opinions as third-party advertisers.
00:22:04.920 Well, we're not third-party advertisers.
00:22:07.380 We're journalists, and we just do the expression of our opinions in a more creative way than in the dying medium of print media.
00:22:16.020 Sometimes we do billboards, which is what we did.
00:22:19.020 So we get our lawyers involved by, I wrote it down, January 9th.
00:22:24.080 So right after Christmas holidays, we send them an email or a letter some three weeks later saying, buckle up, we're going to fight.
00:22:35.540 Five days later, on January 14th, we get a lawyer from Lorne Gibson, the now-fired elections commissioner,
00:22:42.860 who says in his email, it is regarding, how do they put it here, a notice of adverse findings and a proposed fine.
00:23:00.700 And so we get a letter just five days after we say, look, yep, we're lawyered up, we're ready to fight,
00:23:06.620 we've got evidence, we want to show you, let's do this, let's do this.
00:23:11.920 They say, oh, by the way, we've already found you guilty.
00:23:14.640 Here's your notice of adverse findings and the proposed fine,
00:23:18.460 which for us is like the cops coming to your door and saying, oh, by the way, we found you guilty.
00:23:25.300 The only thing we need to discuss now is whether you're going to get the electric chair or the firing squad.
00:23:30.120 That's all they wanted from us.
00:23:32.120 And so we said that's unfair, and that's where this all comes from.
00:23:35.540 You know, Sheila, I remember that because I remember getting that letter.
00:23:40.700 It was right before Christmas, and Elections Alberta said, get back to us like on Christmas Eve or something.
00:23:48.320 Yeah.
00:23:48.740 And I knew that was a bunch of BS because they weren't working then,
00:23:52.040 but I did pass it on to our Alberta lawyers right away.
00:23:55.700 And they wrote to the government and said, it's Christmas, we'll get back to you, you know, early.
00:24:03.300 We were involved.
00:24:05.400 We're here.
00:24:06.420 We're not evading this.
00:24:08.100 We're going to make a representation.
00:24:10.240 And the election commissioner acknowledged that.
00:24:12.540 We hired one of the best media lawyers in Alberta.
00:24:14.920 So everything was fine.
00:24:16.480 And then we were stunned when days later, without a hearing, without hearing our side of the story, without getting the facts, they convicted us, even though our lawyer just said, hey there, we've been hired.
00:24:34.520 We're ready to engage with you.
00:24:36.240 We get this finding of an adverse finding.
00:24:39.940 That's legalese for you're convicted.
00:24:42.500 And you're right.
00:24:43.300 The only question was, we've convicted you.
00:24:45.300 Now just give us your opinion on how bad the punishment should be.
00:24:49.240 We suggest $3,000, if I'm remembering correctly.
00:24:53.520 Now we immediately appealed that.
00:24:56.400 It's $5,000, I think.
00:24:57.220 $5,000.
00:24:57.940 And they said, okay, well, you know, geez, you're taking us to a real court.
00:25:01.920 Some grown-up judge is actually going to review what we did here.
00:25:04.620 Or, yeah, can you make that go away?
00:25:07.460 We'll just call it a reprimand, okay, guys?
00:25:09.480 Please don't sue.
00:25:10.620 I don't take reprimands from bureaucrats on my ability or the ability of our staff to criticize politicians.
00:25:17.980 I'm sorry.
00:25:18.480 I don't take fines.
00:25:19.820 I don't take jail terms.
00:25:21.100 And I don't even take reprimands from some nobody bureaucrat telling us what we can or can't say.
00:25:26.580 So someone might say, Ezra, why are you fighting in court?
00:25:29.940 We're already at the Court of Appeal of Alberta.
00:25:31.580 Why are you spending thousands of dollars to go to the Court of Appeal of Alberta when there was literally no fine here?
00:25:38.620 It was just a reprimand because they backed down when we lawyered up.
00:25:44.280 Because I do not believe that I need a reprimand from the government when I speak out or my team speaks out.
00:25:50.980 And the fact that they convicted us without a hearing, it was a secret trial to which we were not even invited.
00:25:56.920 I remember it now that you described the details.
00:25:59.480 I remember laughing as if they were going to hear the thing over Christmas.
00:26:03.720 But we wrote back anyways and said, we're hiring the top lawyer.
00:26:06.860 And they said, okay, fine.
00:26:08.240 Like they literally said, that's fine.
00:26:09.840 We've got your lawyer's info.
00:26:11.240 They convicted us at a secret trial.
00:26:14.620 And that's what this hearing in the Court of Appeal is about.
00:26:17.800 Our secret trials, when someone is not invited to them, is that now kosher in Canada?
00:26:23.140 I say it's not.
00:26:24.640 Well, and it's even worse because the elections commissioner, whose position does not exist anymore because it was so partisan and political,
00:26:33.200 he serves as the investigator, the adjudicator, the jury, and the hangman.
00:26:41.460 So how is there any sort of separation between the duties of this person?
00:26:47.660 We literally got a letter showing the mixing of these duties.
00:26:52.120 I've investigated you.
00:26:53.980 I found you guilty.
00:26:55.620 Now I'm going to issue a fine.
00:26:56.920 There was no point where an uninterested third party could ever say, whoa, whoa, whoa, let's make sure the process is being followed here.
00:27:04.100 None of that ever happened for us.
00:27:05.620 And that's why we are appealing because we think that none of this is fair.
00:27:10.180 And it's so important to appeal it now because we're getting very close to the next election.
00:27:14.560 And there are critics of this government all over the place from the left and the right.
00:27:19.960 And this sort of stuff will be used to silence them, too, because who in their right mind fights a reprimand but us?
00:27:25.920 They're going to use fines to shut up other people. 1.00
00:27:29.140 Yeah.
00:27:29.560 And that's the thing.
00:27:30.620 I mean, we are involved in a lot of battles at Rebel News, and very few of them make financial sense.
00:27:39.360 I mean, I'll be honest with you.
00:27:41.260 Fighting against a $5,000 fine, which was their first proposal, if I recall, I thought it was $3,000.
00:27:46.640 You say it's $5,000.
00:27:47.560 I think you're probably right.
00:27:49.760 Even that doesn't make financial sense.
00:27:52.120 Show me a lawyer who's going to fight a battle for $5,000. 0.65
00:27:54.960 You're not going to find one.
00:27:55.580 I bet we spent $10,000 in court today, maybe $15,000 or $20,000.
00:27:59.600 Yeah.
00:27:59.860 And by the way, we got a great lawyer, and I'm happy to pay it.
00:28:02.140 He's doing a great job.
00:28:03.040 Yep.
00:28:03.640 But why would we go to the Court of Appeal?
00:28:06.180 There were three judges there. 0.67
00:28:07.500 You were live-tweeting it.
00:28:08.720 I was following you live-tweeting.
00:28:10.200 Who in their right mind would spend, and you're right, it was for sure $10,000 in court today,
00:28:17.260 fighting a reprimand?
00:28:18.340 That's all it was, a reprimand.
00:28:20.720 Why would you do that?
00:28:21.840 Because can you imagine if this becomes acceptable precedent, that the government can condemn anyone
00:28:31.440 for having a political expression a year before the election on a billboard, that you have
00:28:36.620 to go to court, that they're going to have a secret trial where they don't invite?
00:28:39.900 Can you imagine letting that be?
00:28:41.640 And I want to say that although it was the elections officer who was in court against us,
00:28:47.700 that's a creature of the government of Alberta.
00:28:49.720 So I want to say that Jason Kenney's government could have stopped this, could have ordered
00:28:58.280 them not to fight our appeal, but their fighting us in the Court of Appeal today is a decision
00:29:05.780 that the Alberta government, the so-called conservative government of the UCP government, supports.
00:29:12.280 Don't think for a second that they couldn't have said, all right, that was Rachel Notley's
00:29:17.860 mess.
00:29:20.200 We don't support Rachel Notley's censorship.
00:29:22.100 We don't support what Rachel Notley's hand-picked boss did.
00:29:26.140 No, no, no.
00:29:27.100 Jason Kenney and his justice minister have absolutely continued this fight from three years ago,
00:29:35.280 launched by Rachel Notley.
00:29:36.780 That tells you so much, doesn't it?
00:29:38.740 Well, and let me just point out just how political this was, because the complaint against us
00:29:44.860 didn't even come from a passerby, somebody who drove past the billboard and didn't like
00:29:50.660 it.
00:29:51.220 It came out in court that the complaints came from the chief electoral officer to the elections
00:29:59.140 commissioner, which prompted the investigation against us.
00:30:01.980 So it came from inside the house.
00:30:04.240 Yeah.
00:30:04.880 You know what?
00:30:05.800 It's right.
00:30:08.040 As I said at the top of this segment, the pandemic is taking up 70, 80, 90 percent of
00:30:15.320 our attention, not the virus itself, but the reaction to it, the lockdowns, the restrictions
00:30:20.200 on our civil liberties, the forced vaccinations.
00:30:22.700 But I do believe that the number two issue in Canada is censorship.
00:30:29.440 It's unusual to see censorship of a billboard, but unfortunately, it's going to be commonplace
00:30:35.260 to see censorship online.
00:30:37.540 And as we continue to fight against vaccine passports, just today, I said to our legal team,
00:30:44.560 keep your eye on censorship.
00:30:46.680 That is the next big move by Justin Trudeau, by the parties of the left.
00:30:52.200 And as Jason Kenney proved today in court by the so-called conservatives, too.
00:30:57.100 Last word to you, Sheila.
00:30:58.900 Well, the rot still exists because the chief electoral officer under Rachel Notley is the
00:31:04.820 same one under Jason Kenney.
00:31:06.400 And that's the same one that issued the complaint that prompted the investigation against us.
00:31:11.120 So that's why this fight in court is so important.
00:31:14.620 We need to beat these people so that all of us can be free to express our opinions however
00:31:20.020 we see fit in the coming election campaign.
00:31:22.800 And boy, I think there's going to be a bunch of opinions about Jason Kenney coming up.
00:31:27.020 Yeah.
00:31:27.320 Well, let me put Jason Kenney and his crooked election commissioner on notice.
00:31:33.040 If they're freaking out over one billboard, strap yourself in, fellas, because you have
00:31:38.080 no idea how much opinion expressing is coming your way from Rebel News.
00:31:42.980 And we won't take a fine and we won't even take a reprimand because it is not the government's
00:31:50.500 place to reprimand the citizens.
00:31:52.400 It's our place to reprimand the government.
00:31:54.720 And the reprimand that is coming to Jason Kenney and his UCP MLAs is biblical in nature
00:32:01.680 and in scale and scope.
00:32:04.180 And I think we're looking at a Kim Campbell 1993 wipeout for those of my vintage who know
00:32:10.300 that mighty party was taken down to two seats.
00:32:13.240 If there were an election in Alberta today, it wouldn't surprise me if the governing conservatives
00:32:19.140 lost all but a half dozen of their seats and deservedly so.
00:32:26.580 Sheila, thanks for watching the trial and live tweeting it.
00:32:30.240 So I hope we win because it's not about the reprimand or about the money.
00:32:36.500 It's about the precedent.
00:32:38.440 And hopefully the Court of Appeals still believes in freedom of speech.
00:32:40.860 We're about to find out.
00:32:42.660 Yeah, it was an interesting day in court today.
00:32:46.460 The judges were very engaged.
00:32:48.440 At first, I thought maybe they don't like our lawyer.
00:32:50.320 They're being really hard on him.
00:32:51.580 But they were hard on the government's lawyer, too, asking a lot of questions.
00:32:54.780 And I think that shows that they remain open-minded and that their minds are not already
00:32:59.200 made up.
00:32:59.700 Well, I sure hope so.
00:33:01.160 All right, Sheila.
00:33:01.700 Great work.
00:33:02.180 Thanks for your help.
00:33:03.480 Thanks, boss.
00:33:04.120 There you have it, Sheila Gunn-Reed, our chief reporter.
00:33:07.060 And this battle's not done.
00:33:08.880 I mean, the Court of Appeal, it's not the highest court.
00:33:11.920 It's the highest court in Alberta.
00:33:13.020 But of course, the Supreme Court of Canada is higher.
00:33:15.880 If we lose in the Court of Appeal, we will seek leave to appeal to the Supreme Court.
00:33:20.740 Now, the Supreme Court does not have to take this case if they don't think it's of importance.
00:33:25.960 But I think it's important.
00:33:27.500 I mean, it's obviously not about the money or the reparanth itself.
00:33:30.880 It's does a government have to actually let you come to your own trial?
00:33:35.380 Or are secret trials where you're not invited good enough?
00:33:38.060 I really think that's something the Supreme Court should take.
00:33:40.520 Well, that's it for that segment.
00:33:42.860 Stay with us.
00:33:43.660 Up next, my final thoughts.
00:33:45.800 I'll give you some thoughts on that Microsoft business.
00:33:47.900 That's next.
00:33:48.220 Hey, welcome back.
00:34:01.640 Wasn't that Microsoft?
00:34:03.240 I swear I thought it was a fake.
00:34:04.920 These days, it's hard to tell because it's easy to get a YouTube video going.
00:34:09.720 And there's a lot of satirical websites out there.
00:34:12.440 I thought that was something from the Onion or from the Babylon Bee.
00:34:15.700 That was really Microsoft.
00:34:18.300 Isn't that crazy?
00:34:20.180 Well, listen, if you're in the Toronto area, I want to invite you to our next Civil Liberties
00:34:25.100 Town Hall.
00:34:26.280 It's on November 17th at the Canada Christian College.
00:34:29.720 And the guest speaker, it's amazing, John Stossel, the great investigative journalist and
00:34:35.640 Civil Liberties leader from America.
00:34:37.200 I'll be there, too.
00:34:39.040 So will Julie Panessi and Charles McVeady.
00:34:42.620 Get your tickets.
00:34:44.060 You can get tickets to go there to Whitby, Ontario at thedemocracyfund.ca.
00:34:51.000 Or if you like, you'll be able to watch from Zoom from anywhere around the world.
00:34:54.920 I'm not sure if that link is live on thedemocracyfund.ca, but I know the tickets in person are.
00:35:01.020 So check it out if you're in the greater Toronto area.
00:35:03.440 It's wonderful events.
00:35:04.880 We've had three of them already so far.
00:35:06.700 We had Tucker Carlson.
00:35:09.240 We had Glenn Beck.
00:35:09.960 I guess this is the third one, come to think of it.
00:35:12.720 So I hope you join us.
00:35:14.320 Anyways, I want to end with our video of the day.
00:35:16.920 This is from Louis Brackpool, our newest reporter in the United Kingdom.
00:35:22.140 He was up there in Glasgow and he did this story on Extinction Rebellion, which is a bigger
00:35:26.660 deal in Europe than it is here in Canada.
00:35:29.900 So I'll say goodbye to you now.
00:35:31.020 Have a great weekend.
00:35:32.420 Keep fighting for freedom.
00:35:33.320 And let me leave you with this video from our friend Louis.
00:35:36.500 You know, so what's the point in all of this?
00:35:39.040 Look at this, you know.
00:35:41.420 Police escort as well.
00:35:43.060 Look at that.
00:35:44.680 Oh no, I can't get it.
00:35:46.820 Look at that.
00:35:47.580 Big police escort as well.
00:35:49.100 That's huge for Extinction Rebellion. 0.99
00:35:50.900 In general, the idea is that civil disobedience is kind of the way to go.
00:35:57.980 So if you think about, for example, the feminist movements, fasting, hunger strikes, like, for
00:36:04.260 example, these kinds of things, standing in roads and that.
00:36:07.040 Surely if they wanted to cut on carbon emissions and net zero zero CO2, surely that they would
00:36:13.120 practice what they preach by not flying here on private jets, getting chauffeured in 85 cars
00:36:18.820 the other day with Joe Biden.
00:36:20.620 You know, what's your thoughts on that?
00:36:23.320 Well, it is important, I think, to be together.
00:36:26.860 And Zoom is brilliant.
00:36:28.680 But there's a lot of things that you can't do over Zoom.
00:36:30.680 So this is Lewis Brackpill for Rebel News.
00:36:36.880 And in today's report, I'm going to be pointing out the complete hypocrisy from climate activists.
00:36:42.460 I've been going around talking to various climate activists, including trying to have a discussion
00:36:48.540 with XR members, Extinction Rebellion, who don't seem to have all the right answers.
00:36:54.780 But before we get started, I just want to say a big thank you to all the Rebel News viewers
00:36:59.080 out there that have been really contributing and helping me out to make this trip to Glasgow happen.
00:37:05.060 We know that other mainstream media outlets will not point out any of these hypocrisies.
00:37:09.940 So heading on over to rebelun.com to see the hypocrisies play out.
00:37:16.880 So please head on over to rebelun.com.
00:37:29.080 In general, the idea is that civil disobedience is kind of the way to go.
00:37:40.380 So if you think about, for example, the feminist movements, if you...
00:37:44.720 Fasting, hunger strikes, like...
00:37:46.520 For example, these kinds of things.
00:37:48.320 Standing in roads and that.
00:37:49.540 Locking yourself to fences or gluing yourself to a bank.
00:37:53.340 Gluing?
00:37:53.920 I glued my...
00:37:54.500 Do you regret the gluing?
00:37:56.920 Um, yeah, it's not one of my better moves, yes.
00:38:01.120 Right.
00:38:02.080 But it was to sort of make a statement that things are fairly critical.
00:38:09.960 What does XR think about world leaders coming here on, like, private jets, range rovers,
00:38:17.580 and they're preaching this whole, like, carbon footprint, we should do better,
00:38:21.200 but they're not preaching what they preach.
00:38:22.680 So XR is a decentralized movement, so there's not, like, one XR that thinks something,
00:38:28.580 but it's every rebel kind of thinks their own things, obviously.
00:38:31.380 Every rebel.
00:38:32.240 Um, yeah.
00:38:33.200 Extinction Rebellion, right?
00:38:34.320 Oh, right, yeah.
00:38:35.380 So, um, I personally think that there could have been other ways to do this.
00:38:42.660 For example, Zool-Col.
00:38:44.200 Right?
00:38:44.480 We've gotten so good.
00:38:45.620 So the question was, really, wouldn't it be easier if all the elites just stayed at home
00:38:50.220 to save them carbon emissions?
00:38:51.800 Nothing's easy about changing the world.
00:38:54.640 Right.
00:38:54.820 This is the biggest transformation society has ever seen in the whole history of humanity.
00:38:59.820 There's nothing easy about it.
00:39:01.160 Nobody suggested it was easy.
00:39:02.920 It's going to be hard, and it's going to take us to work across people collectively,
00:39:08.580 whether you're that area of society or that area of society or that area of society.
00:39:13.200 It doesn't matter.
00:39:13.900 But what's important is that we all collectively decide to take action right now,
00:39:19.960 because the climate crisis is the biggest crisis that humanity faces.
00:39:24.340 We haven't got time.
00:39:25.780 We don't have time to sit and debate.
00:39:27.820 We need to take action right now.
00:39:29.880 Shouldn't they collectively practice what they preach?
00:39:34.100 Well, I think it's up to us.
00:39:38.760 It's up to all of us.
00:39:40.380 It's up to the people, us, we the people, to tell the governments, because the government
00:39:47.400 set the rules, obviously, that they should do it in the right way.
00:39:52.400 So then why is it that they're getting together and now lecturing us plebs on how to live 1.00
00:39:57.060 our lives when they can't even practice what they preach?
00:39:59.820 No, no.
00:40:00.180 I think it's really important that the governments do sort this problem out.
00:40:04.020 But they're not practicing what they preach, though.
00:40:05.980 Well, OK, ask the question a different way.
00:40:10.320 Well, no, I've just asked you.
00:40:11.680 Surely if they wanted to cut on carbon emissions and net zero zero CO2, surely that they would
00:40:17.680 practice what they preach by not flying here on private jets, getting chauffeured in 85
00:40:22.920 cars the other day with Joe Biden.
00:40:25.200 You know, what's your thoughts on that?
00:40:27.800 Well, it is important, I think, to be together.
00:40:31.440 And Zoom is brilliant, but there's a lot of things that you can't do over Zoom.
00:40:35.280 We could have this discussion over Zoom.
00:40:36.980 Well, we're not.
00:40:37.440 I'm a filmmaker.
00:40:38.580 Sure.
00:40:38.940 And I know that there's only so much energy you can get off the Internet.
00:40:42.480 I'm not talking necessarily about us.
00:40:44.780 Being together.
00:40:45.500 Being together.
00:40:46.620 Right.
00:40:46.860 It's really important to be able to look somebody in the eye and to be able to understand them.
00:40:51.900 So I think it is important that people are together.
00:40:53.960 I think it's right that the leaders are here together to try to fix the biggest crisis that
00:40:59.500 we face.
00:41:00.220 You say the people, though.
00:41:02.220 We're talking about just a bunch of world leaders.
00:41:04.520 They could have easily stayed at home.
00:41:06.020 We're the ones that are bearing the brunt of this.
00:41:08.780 So surely if they practice what they preach and set an example, surely the people would follow.
00:41:13.780 Well, it's just my view.
00:41:14.900 It's just my view.
00:41:15.720 I think that the leaders, and they apparently are our leaders, that they should sit in the
00:41:22.020 same room and they should look each other in the eye to solve this crisis.
00:41:25.440 I don't think you can do it over Zoom.
00:41:28.360 You could, technically.
00:41:29.340 I don't think so.
00:41:30.120 No?
00:41:30.500 That's just my view.
00:41:31.480 Okay.
00:41:32.020 All right.
00:41:32.400 Thank you very much.
00:41:33.260 No, I really appreciate that.
00:41:34.540 So you just had an altercation with those climate activists back there.
00:41:38.160 And I obviously heard a little bit about what you were saying.
00:41:41.080 What's your overview on this COP26?
00:41:43.060 The view here is it's the money it's spent on it could have went to save the planet instead
00:41:50.280 of having this.
00:41:51.080 The amount of police officers here, 10,000 police officers who, most of them, are very 0.99
00:41:57.100 abrupt, ignorant, and cheeky. 0.96
00:41:59.300 But local residents can't get walking their local area because of this. 1.00
00:42:05.300 The roads are shut down.
00:42:06.180 The roads are closed.
00:42:07.920 Everything, shops are closing early because there's no trade.
00:42:10.960 Yeah. 0.86
00:42:11.160 So there's money getting lost while all the politicians who are liars are gaining.
00:42:17.400 Right. 0.86
00:42:17.680 Always gaining.
00:42:18.600 Do you think it would have been easier if they just stayed at home and done this via
00:42:21.500 Zoom?
00:42:22.020 Without a doubt.
00:42:23.280 There would have been a lot of money.
00:42:24.340 Well, that gentleman back there was saying, well, you can't look someone in the eye on Zoom.
00:42:28.440 So what's your thoughts on that?
00:42:29.280 Well, maybe you can't look them in the eye, but if you look one of the politicians in the
00:42:33.280 eye on there, you've got to get the same as you get on Zoom.
00:42:35.760 It's lies.
00:42:36.880 Would you agree that it's us that bear the brunt of this, the plebs? 1.00
00:42:40.500 Yes.
00:42:40.900 Not them.
00:42:41.500 And they're not practising what they preach?
00:42:43.460 Of course they don't.
00:42:44.280 They definitely don't.
00:42:45.240 It's just local, normal people who get the brunt of it all the time.
00:42:49.460 They're sitting there, big fancy cars, flying in, flying back out, wine and dined and plenty
00:42:55.480 of money in their pocket and we've got to go to work.
00:42:58.640 And trying to get to work is maybe putting an hour, an hour to an hour and a half on,
00:43:05.240 on your travelling time because all the roads are closed.
00:43:07.860 Could you give us your opinion on these protesters that have been walking along the street and
00:43:13.360 blocking all the traffic?
00:43:15.120 Seriously, mate, who has the time?
00:43:17.260 Who has the time?
00:43:18.860 Honest to God, it's like, go get a job.
00:43:22.740 Seriously, mate, go get a job, man.
00:43:25.140 Like, look at them.
00:43:26.180 They're just marching along.
00:43:27.320 Look at this.
00:43:27.780 We're stuck in traffic now.
00:43:29.100 Yeah.
00:43:29.280 You know, we're stuck in traffic, so come on, like, think about us workers and things.
00:43:33.960 We need to make a living out here.
00:43:35.320 You know, we can't make a living simply because of that.
00:43:38.380 Look at that.
00:43:39.080 You know, absolute chaos.
00:43:41.180 Do you think they're marching and blocking traffic is actually going to a...
00:43:45.720 You know, mate, this job would take five, ten minutes.
00:43:48.280 This is going to take 20 minutes to half an hour now.
00:43:50.900 That's what it's going to be like, so...
00:43:52.280 Do you think that this is...
00:43:55.120 Because I believe it's for the climate.
00:43:57.560 Do you think that it's going to make a difference, them doing this?
00:44:00.400 It's not going to make a difference, mate.
00:44:02.220 You really think politicians are going to listen to them?
00:44:05.180 They're not.
00:44:05.860 You know, they're here.
00:44:07.180 They're here just to show the world, oh, yeah, we care.
00:44:09.420 Even the politicians...
00:44:10.440 There's not going to be any result from this.
00:44:13.060 There's not going to be any result, you know.
00:44:15.180 Big Boris said that as well.
00:44:16.580 You know, he came out saying, I'll be very surprised if...
00:44:20.520 I'll be very surprised if this clicks, you know.
00:44:23.820 So what's the point in all of this?
00:44:25.940 Look at this, you know.
00:44:28.380 Police escort as well.
00:44:30.060 Look at that.
00:44:31.640 What do you...
00:44:32.000 Oh, no, I can't get that.
00:44:33.780 Look at that.
00:44:34.580 Big police escort as well.
00:44:36.080 That's huge for Extinction Rebellion. 0.99
00:44:38.220 That's the biggest police escort I've ever seen.
00:44:41.600 What are your thoughts, man?
00:44:44.080 Again, who has the time, mate?
00:44:45.980 Who has the time, honestly?
00:44:48.300 Wow, look at that.
00:44:49.220 Look at all these police right here.
00:44:51.480 Look at all this.
00:44:52.360 Look at all my...
00:44:53.260 I can't believe this.
00:44:54.580 I can't believe this.
00:44:55.980 What do you think?
00:44:56.620 Do you think all this is great for the environment?
00:44:58.960 Definitely not.
00:45:00.240 Us being stuck in traffic.
00:45:01.060 Oh, wow.
00:45:01.580 Us being stuck.
00:45:02.540 Look at that.
00:45:03.160 Look at that.
00:45:04.420 How are they helping the climate?
00:45:06.700 You know how are they helping the climate?
00:45:08.440 I don't get it.
00:45:10.440 That's nuts. 1.00
00:45:10.940 It's all a bit of a shit show, isn't it? 1.00
00:45:13.240 That's what it is, man. 0.99
00:45:14.480 And furthermore, Glaswegians have been urged to open up their homes to COP26 attendees, where 700 households have signed up to a homestay system.
00:45:25.440 Just give up your house for two weeks for some climate activists. 0.77
00:45:28.780 Why not?
00:45:29.640 They definitely need to borrow your shower, that's for sure.
00:45:31.800 Also, at the United Nations Climate Change Conference, they've shut off hot water in a bid to be more sustainable.
00:45:39.500 Doesn't sound very hygienic to me.
00:45:41.160 I thought they cared about COVID and washing their hands.
00:45:43.960 And I'm sure you've seen the video that I created the other day that's been going viral recently of a Let's Do Net Zero sign being projected on a bridge powered by a petrol generator made by Honda.
00:45:56.900 I mean, the hypocrisy speaks for itself, really, doesn't it?
00:45:59.960 We are still yet to see more information on policy on what this event will uncover.
00:46:06.080 And I have a prediction that it could be very, very sinister.
00:46:10.500 Sinister in a sense that it could impede your freedoms in the near future.
00:46:14.620 Could be a climate lockdown.
00:46:16.980 It could even be a reduction in red meat consumption.
00:46:19.480 But it could also mean MasterCard's new unveiled card, where if you go over your carbon emission that is tracked, it will bar you from spending your own hard earned cash.
00:46:31.700 And my prediction is we could see from the James Bond villain himself, Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum, where he might pitch his own disturbing, dystopian, mentally ill ideas at the conference.
00:46:44.180 Now, I just want to live in a society where the government is off my back and protects my rights, not infringes upon them.
00:46:51.260 And I don't want to live in some weird metaverse where Mark Zuckerberg reports me because I don't agree with him on climate change.
00:46:57.380 It's nuts.
00:46:58.680 So I know I keep banging on about it.
00:47:00.140 But with all these world leaders being funded by you, the taxpayer, is this what you really want, to be told to build back better without knowing what better even means?
00:47:09.760 Are you really prepared to embrace this new normal, once under the guise of COVID and soon to be under the guise of climate change?
00:47:20.480 This has been Lewis Brackpool reporting for Rebel News in Glasgow, the UN Climate Change Conference.
00:47:30.140 This has been Lewis Brackpool reporting for Rebel News in Glasgow.
