Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ Liberals ignore own briefing note warning against biological men in women's sports

00:00:00.000 Oh, hey, Rebels. I bet you were expecting to hear Ezra Levant's voice right here, but

00:00:04.040 it's not him. It's me, Sheila Gunn-Reed. I'm filling in for the big boss in the

00:00:07.840 big chair tonight. Tonight, we are talking about how there are still good people remaining at one

00:00:14.700 of the craziest, most authoritarian ministries in all of the Canadian government. We're talking

00:00:22.220 about a lone bureaucrat truth teller at Canadian Heritage. That's the censorship ministry. But

00:00:29.420 Canadian Heritage also oversees Sports Canada, and that's the ministry or agency that encourages

00:00:36.680 and develops minor sport in Canada. And one lone unidentified bureaucrat there produced a briefing

00:00:46.800 note telling the government that allowing biological males to play in female minor sports is dangerous

00:00:57.040 and unfair. That person's probably in a re-education camp right now. We're discussing that, and we are

00:01:03.320 also catching up with Katie Davis-Court. She's the post-millennial journalist who is working

00:01:08.020 alongside our Louis Brackpool and Lincoln Jay as they cover the Dutch farmer uprising against

00:01:15.260 climate change targets in Holland. Now, I'm sure you like listening to the show, but one of the best

00:02:07.920 Tonight, the liberals were told that allowing biological males to compete against women in

00:02:13.220 sports would indeed harm women. And the feminist liberals, well, they obviously ignored that 1.00

00:02:18.040 advice. Then post-millennials Katie Davis-Court joins us from the Netherlands to update us on her 0.78

00:02:23.660 work alongside our team there. It's July 13th, 2022. I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed, and you're watching

00:02:30.120 The Ezra Levant Show. 0.91

00:02:34.560 Shame on you, you censorious bug.

00:02:43.220 You know, I might be cheering for public sector bureaucrats here. I know it's weird. I'll explain 0.86

00:02:51.020 it all in a second. But first, will you indulge me just a couple of minutes here? I want to show

00:02:55.740 you maybe 30 seconds of one clip and then 30 seconds of another. It's actually probably even

00:03:00.600 less than 30 seconds of each. But what I'm going to show you will show the stark contrast between male

00:03:05.640 and female athletes playing the exact same sport. And I chose this sport because it's an extreme contact

00:03:11.520 sport with no equipment. And I know a little bit about it. It's rugby. So let me set this up.

00:03:16.820 The Black Ferns are the New Zealand national women's rugby team. The All Blacks, that's the men's rugby 0.84

00:03:23.620 team. They are, in my opinion, and just my opinion, the two best teams in the world. Extraordinary in

00:03:29.620 their own right. But that's the point. In their own right. The women are strong. These women are 0.99

00:03:35.340 powerful. And boy, are they ever fast. For women. Okay, so here are the Ferns in gameplay. Watch this. 0.99

00:03:42.420 Goodness me. What an injection from her. And there she goes. Aisha Lettinger. Herder's won. 0.99

00:03:50.760 Heading for the line. Taken down by Corrigan. Great defence.

00:03:54.640 Hey, Lovren.

00:03:56.860 Big shot on Dumont. But she still manages to get the pass. And here's Tui again.

00:04:01.760 Ruby Tui. Down the outside. Stepping back into Goody. Finishes her off. 1.00

00:04:06.700 From Arahiana Marima Tauhinu. And they're away again. Here's Amy Dupassi. Down the sideline.

00:04:14.180 Has Ruby Tui. Tui steps inside. Ruby Tui now race for the line. And Tui will win it. And Tui gets a double. 1.00

00:04:24.100 They're amazing, right? Now here are their male counterparts. The All Blacks in gameplay. Look at this.

00:04:31.080 Okay. Nice group from Banks. Freed it away to Calloway. Ball knocked on. Here's Trouble. Here's Jordan.

00:04:39.120 Can't find anybody. Pops it up in the end for Havili. Havili. He'll go all the way.

00:04:47.280 Ho-ho. 0.98

00:04:48.440 Good start too for the new front row. They skirt it away to Webber. And space out wide. McKenzie. 1.00

00:04:55.740 McKenzie. And Jordan goes in. Takes it off the back. Makes some good ground too.

00:05:01.780 Rushing through the tackle. A little nugget getting a nice ball away to Christie. 0.82

00:05:06.000 Black at us there in support. Pops a lovely ball away to Jordan Barrett. McKenzie.

00:05:10.980 He's going in for a bunch of fives. Jordan.

00:05:15.940 The difference is astounding. And that's not discrediting or devaluing the accomplishments

00:05:21.780 of those women. They are the best in their sport in the entire world. But they are biologically 1.00

00:05:27.140 different than men. It's clear they have not gone through testosterone puberty. Their hearts and

00:05:32.780 their lungs. They're just smaller. Their bones are less dense. They don't have the same ability to

00:05:38.340 gain and maintain lean muscle mass. They aren't as big or strong or as fast. It's reality. And it

00:05:44.740 doesn't take away anything from what they can do when on a level playing field. And that's important

00:05:50.340 here. Imagine if one of those all Blacks was suddenly now playing on a ladies team against 1.00

00:05:54.680 the ferns. Dangerous, right? And more importantly, it's gaslighting. We can see we're not blind.

00:06:00.900 And feelings? They don't undo science and biology. And it's astounding to me that some bureaucrat

00:06:06.580 within Canadian Heritage, which takes care of the portfolio of Sports Canada, felt the same way as me.

00:06:14.080 Bureaucrats within the Trudeau government tried to warn about the unfairness of biological males

00:06:20.320 competing against biological females in sports. I know. I'm shocked too. Let me show you. It's from 0.82

00:06:27.080 Black Locks today. And it's going to blow your mind. It's a good reminder that sometimes I am highly

00:06:33.120 critical of bureaucrats in government because they're supposed to be nonpartisan. But often

00:06:37.460 they're just an extension of the Liberal Party of Canada that we all pay for. And then some of these

00:06:43.080 people take their jobs very seriously. And when they are to give advice to the government, they give

00:06:47.700 advice. Real advice. Good advice. The advice made perfect sense, which is why you know the liberals

00:06:54.760 absolutely completely disregarded it. Anyway, from the great team at Black Locks just this morning,

00:07:01.260 and I don't want to give away too much of the article because it sits behind a paywall and that's how

00:07:06.860 they pay the bills over at Black Locks. It sounds like they obtained this through access to information

00:07:12.440 because when I went looking for this on the proactive disclosures website of the government

00:07:17.700 of Canada, I can't find the briefing note they mentioned here. So I filed for it myself this

00:07:22.780 afternoon. When we get it, you better believe I'm going to publish it. Anyway, here's what Black Locks

00:07:28.080 reports this morning. Transgender men have an unfair advantage in women's competition, says a briefing

00:07:34.520 note by the federal department that funds amateur sport. The Department of Canadian Heritage 0.66

00:07:39.540 has sidestepped public comment on allowing biological men to compete as women. The most current peer

00:07:47.420 reviewed science demonstrates significant male advantage in sport amplified through and after

00:07:53.460 puberty and that testosterone suppression in trans women does not mitigate the legacy effects of male 0.66

00:07:59.060 puberty, said the January 19th briefing note, gender equity and transgender inclusion in sport. Public

00:08:05.680 opinion research suggests a majority of Canadians believe sport organizations should find new ways

00:08:11.520 to include transgender identifying athletes that preserve fairness and physical safety for all,

00:08:16.900 it added. There is a growing debate in sport primarily focused on women's elite categories where 0.99

00:08:23.420 there are safety and fairness concerns regarding the inclusion of trans women who are physiologically

00:08:29.420 stronger, said the briefing note. However, trans men are both subject to anti-doping regulations in the

00:08:35.320 female category and biological disadvantage in the men's. Wow. Now, none of this is to say that trans

00:08:41.680 people should not participate in sports. I love minor sports. I think a lot of people do regardless of how

00:08:47.500 they choose to live their lives. But there has to be a better, more sportsmanlike way forward and we will

00:08:53.900 never come up with that better way. If we keep suggesting that we must deny biological reality in

00:09:00.180 the name of tolerance, we could, should and must find a way to sort this all out for all parties,

00:09:05.500 right? We put a man on the moon. Surely we can sort this one thing out. And please don't send me

00:09:09.960 emails about the moon landing being a soundstage, folks. I'm just using an expression here. Now,

00:09:14.640 I've got to tell you, this one lone common sense bureaucrat writing this briefing note probably

00:09:19.420 risked his or her career to say the right thing, to speak truth to power. He or she had to have known

00:09:25.080 the mob would come for them from within their own ministry. They're probably getting an HR re-education

00:09:31.160 right now. I mean, just look at what happened when bureaucrats at Sports Canada tried to reach out to

00:09:36.880 the common sense side of this onerous and I think unnecessarily complicated transgenderism in sports 0.96

00:09:43.380 debate when preparing a report. Because that's normally what you do, right? You try to look at all the

00:09:49.000 evidence before you make a decision, but that's apparently not allowed on this one issue. Take a

00:09:54.600 look at this. Sports Canada survey has been pulled after drawing a strong rebuke from over 200 athletes

00:10:02.120 and researchers. Canadian high-performance athletes received a survey that asked for their opinion on

00:10:07.480 the inclusion of trans women, biological males, in female categories as part of a research project

00:10:13.360 funded by the Canadian government. According to an outreach email seen by Extra, the survey was

00:10:19.520 commissioned by independent researcher Catherine Devine on behalf of Sport Canada, a part of the

00:10:25.320 Canadian government's Department of Canadian Heritage, which works to develop all levels of sports

00:10:30.580 in the country and to broaden everyone's ability to access sport. The email stated that the data from

00:10:36.440 the survey may one day appear in an academic journal. This survey investigates the views of Canadian

00:10:43.660 high-performance female athletes regarding both the International Olympic Committee framework and the

00:10:49.900 Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport guidance for the inclusion of trans women, biological males in

00:10:56.060 female categories. The email read, female athletes are stakeholders in this area of policy and yet their views

00:11:02.860 are rarely heard. Please be assured that all responses are anonymous. Then the bullies came. Look at this.

00:11:09.040 In response to the survey, LGBTQ2S sports advocacy group Athlete Ally published the open letter from over

00:11:15.960 200 Canadian high-performance athletes and scholars pushing back on the survey for its quote transphobic

00:11:22.540 language. The term biological male features in many anti-trans bills around the world that seek to limit the

00:11:28.400 participation of mostly trans women in sports all the way down to the grassroots level. Opponents of

00:11:34.380 trans participation in sports based on their gender identity usually contend that trans women retain 0.85

00:11:40.620 athletic advantages if they medically transitioned after puberty. So here's to the people fighting for 0.95

00:11:47.800 the truth, fairness and for our daughters inside of Sport Canada. We see you. We're grateful and thanks for

00:11:53.660 putting it all on the line for our girls. After the break, we're joined by Katie Davis-Kort, the post-millennial 0.94

00:11:59.640 journalist working with our Dutch farmer protest team. Stay with us.

00:12:15.220 Right now in the Netherlands, farmers are rising up against climate change targets. Really, these things come

00:12:22.160 from the world economic forum and actually, unfortunately, Canada through a treaty just ratified by the Dutch

00:12:28.100 parliament. It's called CEDA. And what it does is it codifies the liberals in Canada, their gender

00:12:34.880 nonsense and the Paris agreements, climate change targets into our trade agreements with the European

00:12:42.780 Union, meaning that all parties have agreed to this non-binding, however, they'll do it anyways, agreement

00:12:49.180 where they have to put their specific industries and sectors through this lens, this climate change lens,

00:12:57.320 before those exports can head into world markets. And part of that are the nitrogen targets that are

00:13:06.640 potentially being imposed on Dutch farmers that could cause them to quit farming certain parts of

00:13:14.560 their land and even cull up to 30. And I've even seen the number as high as 40% of their livestock.

00:13:20.920 Now, we've got a team of journalists in Holland right now. We've got Louis Brackpool, who is our UK

00:13:26.740 reporter, and Lincoln Jay. Lincoln is an expert on blue collar uprisings and convoys. You know his work

00:13:33.700 from the Convoy for Freedom to Ottawa. And Louis, you know him as the World Economic Forum expert

00:13:38.940 around here. And we had to call in somebody else because I think we needed an American perspective

00:13:43.420 on this. And so we called in Katie Davis-Kort. She works with the Post Millennial, and she joins me

00:13:49.560 now from a field somewhere in Holland. Hey, Katie, how's it going? Good. Thanks for having me on, Sheila. I'm

00:13:57.120 excited to be here. Yeah, you know what? You might be a new face to some of our viewers. So why don't

00:14:02.780 you tell us a little bit about yourself and sort of the topics you focus on in your journalism?

00:14:09.340 Right. So I am from the United States. I live in the state of Washington, specifically the city of

00:14:14.580 Seattle. And I started independent reporting in 2018 when I realized that my city only had one

00:14:22.840 perspective. And our news, our local news was not telling the truth. And it was only telling the

00:14:28.560 Democratic side. They refused to cover stories. So I started going out on the field and I started doing

00:14:33.080 my own independent work. I grew a platform. And then in 2020, the George Floyd riots hit. I started

00:14:40.260 reporting from the field on Black Lives Matter. Antifa is when you guys might remember Antifa

00:14:48.440 sieged a six block radius in Seattle and created something called a Capitol Hill autonomous zone.

00:14:55.700 And so I went in undercover and I reported on that for the month that I was there. And I really grew my

00:15:01.720 platform for there. And then I remained independent. And then after January 6th, they were purging

00:15:08.640 everybody from their platforms, all conservative news reporters. So then I was very lucky that the

00:15:14.200 Post Millennial, it is another conservative news site, picked me up as a reporter. And I've been with

00:15:18.480 them ever since. And I predominantly focus on conservative politics and Antifa and crime.

00:15:25.220 from where I live. You know, I think that's really interesting that you are from Seattle,

00:15:30.700 because as a Canadian, when I think of all the terrible climate change ideas and people who

00:15:34.900 don't understand where their food and their energy comes from, there are two places that I think of

00:15:39.180 San Francisco, because it seems to be an incubator of all these large environmental charities with

00:15:45.080 their tentacles reaching into Canada and Seattle, where a bunch of granola people on bikes have no

00:15:52.060 clue how their iPhones get charged. So I think, right, you, you might be the perfect person for

00:15:58.240 this job in Holland.

00:16:00.420 Yeah, absolutely. So that's really funny that you mentioned that because my governor,

00:16:04.800 his name is Jay Inslee, and he is the lead climate change guy in the United States. And he is actually

00:16:11.580 trying, everything going on right now is by design. He is actively trying to get rid of our dams.

00:16:18.060 And our Grand Coulee Dam actually produces the most electric, it produces all the electricity

00:16:24.220 for the entire West Coast. And he's trying to get rid of our dams to disrupt our electrical grid.

00:16:30.520 And he's running for office. And he just sent a new donation, like campaign sheet to his supporters

00:16:38.820 that said, we are in for a summer of death, destruction and darkness because of the electrical

00:16:44.920 grids will be disrupted. But it's by the by design, he wants to get everybody onto solar energy,

00:16:50.580 he wants to disrupt everything. And yeah, the Washington State and like you said, San Francisco

00:16:57.860 really at ground zero in the United States. But it's funny that you say, say that because

00:17:02.580 speaking with these Dutch farmers, they have been asking me also what it's like in the in

00:17:08.420 the US because this is a global issue. This is on an international scale. And I said, something

00:17:14.200 that is different from the United States is we do have a federal government, but our states

00:17:19.020 are really, but our states are run individually by our elected government for the states. So you

00:17:25.900 get Republicans, they are not for climate change. You live in a democratic state, they're for climate

00:17:30.680 change. So I don't know if we will see exactly what we are experiencing here in Holland right now with

00:17:37.680 the national citizen uprising, rising against climate change, because we do have production

00:17:43.720 protections by states. But it's coming and it's coming to every everywhere, it seems like.

00:17:49.000 Yeah, it's you're you're very lucky in the United States where you do have the Constitution that

00:17:54.900 restrains your federal government from doing these sorts of things. But for Canadians, we can really

00:17:59.720 relate to what the Dutch are going through, because I live in an allegedly conservative province. And yet

00:18:05.900 we have our federal government imposing climate change targets on us through carbon taxes that keep

00:18:11.400 rising and emissions targets. And so as Canadians, we see what's happening in Holland. And we say,

00:18:18.200 you know, how long till it's here, our prime minister is not one to be out virtue signaled

00:18:23.400 by any other leader in the world, especially someone like Mark Ruta, he'll say, Oh, yeah,

00:18:29.340 me too. And then some. And so it's very worrying for Canadian farmers, like myself in particular.

00:18:35.740 Now, I wanted to ask you, you've been talking to a lot of the farmers, what is the one thing,

00:18:41.640 the one big takeaway that you are getting from these farmers? What's the one thing they want the

00:18:47.480 world to know? They want the world to know what's going on. They were so thankful that we are here to

00:18:54.220 share their story. You know, these farmers, they are losing their livelihoods, they are losing

00:18:59.700 their farms that they have had for generations up to hundreds of years. But most importantly,

00:19:05.860 they wanted to spread caution, they wanted the world to know what's happening in the Netherlands,

00:19:11.800 because it's just a matter of time before it happens to everywhere in the world. So through

00:19:18.540 the World Economic Forum, that's really where everything's coming from. Now, you've been working

00:19:24.320 with our team there. And our team has noticed that there are Canadian flags turning up in these

00:19:31.040 protests. And I think it's great because, you know, when you see the freedom protests in Cuba or

00:19:35.560 Venezuela or Hong Kong a couple of years ago, you would see the American flags as the symbol of

00:19:41.180 that sort of uprising and liberty around the world. But we're seeing the Canadian ones turn up in 0.98

00:19:47.220 Holland. And I think that's great. Yeah, absolutely. And you know, that just goes to show how well you

00:19:53.180 guys did with that trucker convoy. I think that was a beacon of hope around the world for to give

00:19:59.900 the green light for other people to start standing up to tyranny standing up to areas that are

00:20:06.700 potentially going to be under dictatorships. And I've seen Canadian flags I in your right, I have not

00:20:12.900 seen American flags. And what the Dutch are doing is they are flipping the Dutch flag upside down, and

00:20:19.520 they are tying a red bandana to the top of it, which symbolizes solidarity with the farmers. So

00:20:27.200 you don't just see that in one area, you see that all across the Netherlands, I have yet to go to a

00:20:33.360 place that hasn't had an upside down flag, a bandana. And there's polls that came out that said

00:20:40.320 roughly 85% support the farmers uprising against the government. And we in our team, we went into

00:20:48.240 Amsterdam to try to find a different perspective, because after speaking with the farmers that they

00:20:52.800 said that they think that the city people are out of touch. And yes, usually, bad policy does come

00:20:58.560 from cities. But after speaking to people inside the city, they were for the farmers. So that 85%

00:21:07.280 is seems to be accurate so far. And it just goes to show that the Dutch government is out of touch with

00:21:14.160 the people. And there's a different agenda going on. Yeah, you guys found I think one crazy lady 1.00

00:21:19.920 who had zero empathy for her fellow citizens who said, you know, so if they've got to lose their land,

00:21:26.400 so what? Okay, but when her you know, her avocado is a gazillion dollars in the grocery store, 1.00

00:21:31.840 she's going to get mugged by reality. And I think it's also interesting that I'm sure Americans think of

00:21:37.920 Canada as this progressive place. And yet the people are not necessarily as progressive as our

00:21:43.520 government. And I've always thought that way about the Dutch, I always thought they were really 1.00

00:21:47.760 progressive and cosmopolitan. And their prime minister was like Trudeau 2.0. And but the people

00:21:56.560 are very different than their government. I think this is a good reminder to us that, you know,

00:22:00.080 while the government does things, the people often think a completely different way.

00:22:04.160 Yeah, absolutely. I noticed that too. These Dutch, the Dutch actually love freedom. They were talking

00:22:13.680 to me and that they, and they were so upset that I explained to them that the United States is really

00:22:18.880 not in a good place right now. We are really the symbol of freedom across the world. And we're losing

00:22:24.960 that. So to see the Dutch fight back against the government, when the United States won't,

00:22:30.240 it was very eye opening to me. And it made it made me realize that the people in the United States

00:22:36.640 are really out of touch with the rest of the world. And we actually do have that rap

00:22:42.480 in other countries. So rings true. 0.99

00:22:46.560 Yeah, it does. Now, I wanted to ask you a couple more questions, and one of them just escaped my mind.

00:22:53.360 Um, when are you headed back? Tomorrow. You've been on a whirlwind of a trip, like you guys have

00:23:02.240 been, I know, because I call you guys and wake you up very early in the morning, early in the

00:23:07.200 morning for me to just tell us what your day looks like when you're out there, like what? So people

00:23:12.560 can really understand just how hard you're working to tell the other side of the story.

00:23:16.320 Right. So I think I'm on two hours of sleep right now. I think the night before I got three. So we

00:23:22.640 are working constantly. And these protests, they are not in one central location, they're scattered

00:23:29.040 throughout the entire country. So we wake up about 630. We're in the car, we drive to our destination,

00:23:38.320 we are communicating with I'm calling them a handler, but it's a another Dutch journalist who's amazing,

00:23:45.040 who pals around with us and translate is our translator, because a lot of these people don't

00:23:50.960 speak English. So that makes it hard in itself to get interviews with farmers that are actually able

00:23:56.880 to speak to us. So we wake up, we go to a location, we figure out what's going on. If there is going to

00:24:03.920 be a convoy, if there's going to be a demonstration somewhere, if there's going to be a blockade, or if

00:24:10.080 we're going to the Hague for a protest, we do multiple demonstrations a day, because it's not

00:24:16.960 very organized right now. Every group has their own leader. But from what we have heard is that

00:24:24.320 they will be convening together at some point. It's just not set in stone. So it's still kind of

00:24:29.760 a waiting game. But I'll tell you this, the farmers, they are not letting up anytime soon. Everyone I've

00:24:34.400 spoke to has said that they're in this fight until they win. And they have said they have called for

00:24:40.720 war. They have said that I've asked them what kind of other demonstrations that they have done before

00:24:46.080 we made it to the ground. And one guy said, we even do guerrilla warfare in the darkness is what

00:24:52.800 he said, whatever that means. So the they're in it, in it to the end, because these are their livelihoods.

00:25:00.160 And when you mess with farmers, you mess with the entire country. Yeah, you leave a man with nothing

00:25:05.920 left to lose. And don't be surprised when he acts like he has nothing left to lose. Now, I've also

00:25:12.160 noticed this is the one thing I wanted to ask you about. Maybe it's different there. But on the outside,

00:25:17.040 looking in the usual libels against normal people who protest their moral and intellectual superiors in

00:25:25.440 the government, that's not being levied, those things, they aren't being levied at the Dutch.

00:25:30.800 For example, it's pretty tough to call the Dutch neo Nazis, considering what the Nazis actually did

00:25:37.120 to the Dutch, you know, those things that they they call protesters to discredit them. You saw this with

00:25:42.720 the truckers convoy, they were white supremacist radicals, according to Justin Trudeau. But some of

00:25:47.360 those criticisms don't really stick to the Dutch, given their history. What is it like that on the ground?

00:25:54.000 Because I'm not seeing those things that are normally tossed at, you know, like your January 6th

00:25:58.160 protester, your trucker convoy. You're right. I'm not I'm not seeing those things being levied at the

00:26:02.560 Dutch. I'm not seeing that anywhere. And that just goes to show that the farmers have the support from

00:26:08.880 the everyday citizens of the Netherlands. Now, Katie, I should let you go. As I said, off the top of the

00:26:16.560 show, you're standing in a field along the side of the road in Holland. And as you said, you're operating on

00:26:22.080 no sleep. I just want to thank you on behalf of the Rebel News team and our viewers for the

00:26:27.520 incredible work that you've done in Holland to tell the other side of the story. I think the world

00:26:32.880 was really relying on the team there to bring them the news because you just can't trust the mainstream

00:26:39.120 media. Absolutely. And the Dutch have said that, too. So mainstream media here is not on their side.

00:26:45.280 So that's why independent journalism is the most important thing.

00:26:49.600 The Dutch farmer seal of approval. Now, folks at home, if you'd like to see

00:26:53.760 more of Katie's work and the rest of the team, Lewis and Lincoln, you can go to farmerrebellion.com.

00:26:58.800 And if you feel inclined to pitch in to cover the cost of their independent journalism,

00:27:03.680 their boots on the ground journalism in Holland, you can do that at that same website,

00:27:07.920 farmerrebellion.com. Thanks so much, Katie. Get some rest.

00:27:11.520 Yes. Yes. Thank you. Talk to you later. Thanks. Stay with us. Your letters to,

00:27:17.440 well, I guess Ezra, but I'll be reading them up next after the break.

00:27:32.640 Well, this is the portion of the show where Ezra reads your viewer feedback. He used to joke and say

00:27:37.040 that it was the hate mail section of the show. But really, we don't get a lot of that. And

00:27:41.280 unlike the mainstream media, we do welcome your feedback. You know, the mainstream media,

00:27:44.880 they're all happy to take your money in the form of a bailout, but boy, they don't want to

00:27:49.200 hear your opinion of them or the bailout for that matter. But we welcome your feedback and well,

00:27:56.000 also your money too. So if you want to send both to us, that's great. Our first letter comes from

00:28:01.760 Jan H.B. Hugo, who says, Canada should give the turbines back. Why punish Germany? Does not look like

00:28:08.000 Ukraine gives a reason if Germany suffers. Just think out loud. Now, this is in relation to the 0.98

00:28:14.080 Canadian government blocking and then returning some natural gas turbines for the production of

00:28:21.280 electricity to Germany. And those were seized as part of the sanctions on Russian energy. Now,

00:28:32.640 this is all very complicated because it is true. German citizens will suffer without these turbines.

00:28:39.440 But at the same time, there's a broader lesson here. And I don't think the powers that be are

00:28:45.440 learning it. And that is that North America must develop a robust natural gas sector through the

00:28:56.880 embrace of fracking. They must liquefy that natural gas and send it to Germany. Because whatever you

00:29:03.520 feel about Russia or the invasion of Ukraine, it was all made possible by the Russian war machine, 0.57

00:29:11.520 which is funded through its stranglehold on natural gas in Europe. All of Europe relies on

00:29:20.240 Russia for natural gas and Germany in particular. Okay, let's keep going. We've got one from Spots.

00:29:28.400 It's a fun name. Why is there a shortage of medical health professionals across Canada? I'm retired,

00:29:35.600 but if I were still working, I would consider a career move. Public service should not require one

00:29:42.320 to forfeit personal rights. You know, so many people in medicine were either fired because of

00:29:51.280 their vaccination status. And many of them had already gotten COVID at the beginning of the pandemic

00:29:58.320 and recovered and thus were naturally immune with a better, more robust immunity than anything any

00:30:05.280 vaccine could give you. But they were thrown out of their jobs because they objected to providing

00:30:11.680 their vaccination status affirmatively or otherwise to their employers. And not only do I think this is

00:30:19.600 a problem causing a shortage of qualified medical health professionals in Canada, people who were either

00:30:25.200 fired or just decided that I don't want to work in a system that would do this to me, but I think it's

00:30:34.160 going to cause a problem across all of our public institutions in policing, in government,

00:30:42.080 in the military, in medicine, in academia, even in the bureaucracy. And I'm so often critical of

00:30:49.440 bureaucrats as you know from my monologue, but all the people that would normally be shuffled into a

00:30:57.680 position of management because when their ethics are tested, they did the hard thing because it was right

00:31:07.680 and not the easy thing. Those people, instead of being in positions of management, they're being

00:31:12.720 shown the door. And so what does that mean for the future of our public institutions when the people

00:31:19.360 who were willing to go along to get along are the people in charge? I'm not hopeful. Well, everybody,

00:31:26.960 that's the show for tonight. Thank you so much as always for tuning in. Thanks to everybody in the

00:31:31.680 studio in Toronto who took all these video files and turned them into an actual show. We'll see

00:31:38.080 everybody, well, I guess, I think my friend David Menzies is hosting the show tomorrow. Thanks for

00:31:43.360 bearing with me. And as the big boss man always says, keep fighting for freedom.

00:31:48.960 This is Juan Mendoza reporting for Rebel News. So with the recent iCloud leak that looks at Hunter

00:31:53.840 Biden and all the actions he's been doing there with his family. So on Sunday, a programmer who

00:31:58.960 worked with Max, he posted a live stream video outlining his intention of dropping Biden's,

00:32:04.560 Hunter Biden's entire hard drive online, along with clues for users to break into the iPhone and

00:32:10.160 iPad backups. He put it on 4chan, which is some sort of website that's basically not very

00:32:15.600 moderated. And it's kind of the website of last resort for people who want to get information

00:32:20.560 out there but can't because everything is so completely censored at this point.

00:32:24.400 So even on 4chan, the moderators quickly took these links down. But internet users are already

00:32:28.800 seeding the contents of the backups on torrent sites. Bottom line, this is going to live online

00:32:34.560 forever. It's not going away. We're here in Miami to talk with the people to see what their thoughts

00:32:39.920 are about the Biden family. So there's like an iCloud leak that came out recently through 4chan. And

00:32:45.280 like another laptop leak that came out a few years ago, seeing how Hunter Biden was doing lots of

00:32:51.840 like illegal activity, like looking at, he was like measuring crack cocaine. And like he was engaging

00:32:58.400 in sex with prostitutes. And like he has his dad put on his phone as pedo Peter. So what are your 1.00

00:33:05.600 thoughts about the Biden family? Um, well, that doesn't seem good. Like that's not, um, yeah,

00:33:18.000 that's not okay. That is something that shouldn't be happening. People need their like, um, what's it

00:33:25.360 called? Like their stuff hidden, like they need their privacy. And that's not okay to be leaking that

00:33:32.000 information. I think they suck. I'm sorry. I Biden doesn't know what he's talking about. And 1.00

00:33:39.600 his son is a crook. I've heard about controversy with Hunter Biden, but not much about that. I don't 0.99

00:33:45.680 know. I can't give out any details. Okay. I've never heard that much about him at all. So no, no

00:33:51.840 details about it. Wow. I think they're pretty weird. I mean, I kind of had a little bit of more respect for

00:33:58.480 Biden after what he did with Roe v. Wade, but like now it's just after hearing that it's

00:34:05.680 weird, man. Um, I honestly don't get into politics a lot. I do not care. I mean,

00:34:11.520 you can't really change it even if you want to. So I just try to stay out of it.

00:34:16.960 Wow. I did not know that. That's crazy. I mean, I'm not really much into politics,

00:34:22.240 but that's, that's insane. That's really, that's out of pocket. I don't know what to say to that,

00:34:27.920 honestly. I saw, I looked through the leaks cause it's public now. There's some very concerning

00:34:32.480 things like child pornography on it, on Hunter Biden's leaks, which I mean, it should be looked

00:34:38.160 into, but thoroughly, I believe that the most of the reasons people are looking into the families

00:34:42.960 cause you know, president and it's more political. But in this case, I feel people should be looking into

00:34:47.920 it cause there's like very concerning things along with what they found.

00:34:52.320 The Biden family, I feel like, um, they're lacking a lot of, um, connectivity like between

00:34:59.040 themselves and they're lacking a lot of respect and education as a whole. Um, I just, I don't really,

00:35:05.760 um, believe in like their family. I feel like it's just a fake picture that they put out there.

00:35:11.360 Personally, I'm not a huge fan of Biden. However, he did just release like a press talk about

00:35:17.360 not supporting the whole turnover of road versus wave that kind of made me support him a little

00:35:22.800 bit, but personally, like Biden's not my favorite person. So I'm not a big fan.

00:35:28.320 You think he's like, like personally, like his family's more like, uh, like not really

00:35:32.560 good people, but you support more like his politics rather than like his,

00:35:36.000 I don't really support his politics a lot, but I think he has some good ideas if he can actually act

00:35:41.040 on them, but that hasn't really been shown. Personally wise, like how his family is,

00:35:45.920 I don't know much about him, but I do not really like him in office. Yeah, but that's my opinion.

00:35:51.840 Um, I think that this whole thing is shady and someone needs to like, you know, get in,

00:35:57.600 get into what they're going, um, and like figure out what's happening. I mean, that's pretty much it.

00:36:03.920 I honestly don't get into politics because I don't prefer any other side than the other. I think that Biden is

00:36:12.000 the same thing as Trump, the same thing as any other person. I think that if it's nothing fixed, if it's no

00:36:18.880 evidence that it can be firmly confirmed, I'm not going to use that to say that Biden is this and this.

00:36:25.360 is this. The thing is also that that was found on 4chan. 4chan is recognized for a place where extremists

00:36:32.640 put their things and then they talk about things that are not comparable or true. But at the same time,

00:36:39.520 I'm not saying that it's not possible. I mean, his son of his had a problem with drugs,

00:36:44.160 right? But I don't have any opinion with him.

00:36:47.600 Wait.

00:36:48.480 Is this one real?

00:36:52.480 Is that real?

00:36:53.040 Apparently so.

00:36:55.360 Okay.

00:36:58.320 I'm like trying to, like, what?

00:37:01.760 I don't necessarily have a huge thought on them. Um, I know there's a lot of hate towards them,

00:37:09.120 just from the opposing point of view. But personally, I, I know he's our president and that's basically it.

00:37:15.440 That's all I know.

00:37:17.520 Yeah, I don't follow them, but I have heard some things, but I'll never know if they're true.

00:37:23.280 I just, I don't know.

00:37:24.640 I think the most I know is, um, that like in the, he was, uh, came back from the war and he was like,

00:37:30.400 not in a, unhonorable or not honorable, whatever, something like that. I don't remember,

00:37:34.480 but that's all I know about them.

00:37:35.840 I mean, I didn't know that this was going to happen, but I don't think that's right.

00:37:40.400 That doesn't sound good.

00:37:42.400 But I've never heard of it until now. I didn't know.

00:37:45.760 I don't feel like his family defines him as a person and his decisions that like what he,

00:37:52.880 you know, like the way he controls this country, I don't think it has to do with his son or whatever.

00:37:56.720 Like each person is, each is their own, you know what I mean? But I also like,

00:38:00.960 I don't agree 100% with Biden. I think there's a lot of things that are wrong with the way he's

00:38:05.120 leading this country. You know, I feel like he's a puppet. I feel like he's not making the

00:38:09.440 decisions on his own. Like, you know, someone is, he's not, he's not like the best leader.

00:38:15.920 You know, I don't see him like a very, you know, like a good leader. So even though I'm like,

00:38:22.160 you know, I wouldn't, I'm democratic, you know, I want someone, I'm more, I'm like a leftist,

00:38:27.200 but I don't really like how Biden has been running everything. So, but I, I don't care whatsoever.

00:38:33.200 Like all this gossip about his family and whatever, I don't think that defines who he is or that has to

00:38:38.480 do with anything. Like it's, to me, I feel like it's unnecessary. No, not really. I can't say

00:38:43.760 I've really kept up too much with that. I'm not too aware of the situation, so I can't really speak

00:38:48.160 on it that much, but that sounds pretty crazy. That's pretty crazy. Yeah. I didn't know anything

00:38:52.480 about that. Yeah, same reaction. It's just like insane. Yeah, we didn't know about that. He sounds

00:38:59.280 like my type of guy. Do you feel like the Biden administration, they're like representing the

00:39:03.200 people in the country, uh, pretty well, or? Um, can I put no comment? Um, no thoughts. No opinions,

00:39:12.800 no, nothing. Some maybe, definitely not all. Me personally, there's good and bad. I wouldn't

00:39:20.000 say I'm a supporter, but there's a few things they've done that I liked. Some people didn't

00:39:25.600 like Biden, even if they were Democrats and others had no clue.
