Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ PayPal dabbles in social credit and now their stock is suffering

00:00:00.000 tonight paypal tried to reinvent itself as pay pirate last weekend and now they are paying a

00:00:23.180 price it's wednesday october 12 2022 i'm david menzies and this is the ezra levent show

00:00:30.820 shame on you you sensorious bug

00:00:37.900 the other day i was thinking about the superb british tv series black mirror

00:00:51.600 black mirror ran for five seasons beginning in 2011 most episodes are set in the near future and

00:00:59.020 it's typically a dystopian future black mirror is akin to a new age twilight zone the difference

00:01:06.760 being that many of the episodes focus on new technology and the often detrimental effect

00:01:13.000 that technology has on the human condition black mirror is supposed to be speculative fiction

00:01:20.260 but a decade after first airing this tv series is coming across as eerily prescient consider this

00:01:29.280 brief analysis of the chilling episode nosedive courtesy of brain pilot the society that lacy

00:01:37.120 lives in is one where a rating system has become what people lead their lives by if they have a

00:01:42.560 high rating then they're welcomed by many however if people have a low rating then it prevents you

00:01:47.820 from doing general things like living in certain neighborhoods and being casted away by certain

00:01:53.120 people due to the fact that they don't want to be associated with you this is something that

00:01:57.640 affects lacy and is what the main story follows after lacy has a downfall and she gives her speech 0.99

00:02:03.360 at the wedding for her apparent friend she then gets taken away and put in her cell from here on

00:02:09.300 now those ratings have repercussions of course for example when lacy wants to rent a car her rating 0.99

00:02:15.880 has declined to such a point that it's now too low for her to rent the best cars that are available

00:02:21.560 thus she must accept a subpar beater which of course breaks down and she dares not vent about that to the

00:02:29.300 rental company because that will undoubtedly lower her rating even further as the episode proceeds 0.99

00:02:35.840 a continuing series of unfortunate incidents most of which are completely beyond lacy's control

00:02:42.640 causes her rating to further plummet by the episodes ending her rating is so low that she's deemed to be 0.54

00:02:49.740 a detriment to polite society and is taken away and incarcerated she is in effect cancelled outright 0.99

00:02:57.960 now i was thinking of nosedive during the thanksgiving day weekend when news broke about a new

00:03:04.660 paypal policy that was due to go into effect on november the 3rd paypal is an online payment system that

00:03:13.120 allows users to pay for transactions and accept payments when selling items or services but apparently

00:03:20.760 it also fancies itself to be big brother these days as well you see paypal recently decided to update

00:03:28.420 its terms of use you know those impossibly long legalese disclaimers that the vast majority of us never read

00:03:36.160 we simply press accept and carry on with our busy days ah but some keen-eyed observer actually did take

00:03:44.540 the time and trouble to go through those seemingly endless terms and conditions and a good thing too

00:03:50.660 because starting on november 3rd paypal was going to reimagine itself as a free speech gatekeeper

00:03:58.900 weird you see if any of paypal's 429 million consumers and merchants expressed quote misinformation end

00:04:08.980 quote they would be fined a whopping $2,500 us funds by the way how utterly astonishing is that

00:04:19.220 the idea of a financial services conduit devolving into a bunch of censorious corporate thugs that would

00:04:27.620 take it upon themselves to one think that they are the moral authorities when it comes to what is and isn't

00:04:35.540 so-called misinformation and two would be so full of unearned entitlement that they would consider

00:04:43.380 themselves to be members of law enforcement or government i.e. the typical entities that actually

00:04:50.180 do have the ability to issue fines and finally three that this could actually take root in the united

00:04:57.940 states of america you know land of the free and home of the brave and unless we forget the home of the first

00:05:03.540 amendment too when the shite hit the fan paypal quickly went into damage control mode the company

00:05:11.940 eventually crafted a statement that reads as follows quote an aup aka acceptable use policy notice

00:05:21.620 recently went out in error that included incorrect information paypal is not fining people for

00:05:29.140 misinformation and this language was never intended to be inserted in our policy our teams are working

00:05:37.460 to correct our policy pages we're sorry for the confusion this has caused end quote fascinating

00:05:45.780 paypal issued a statement that was meant to clear up confusion but actually the statement causes more

00:05:54.260 confusion well at least it does for me folks for starters paypal states that its so-called acceptable use

00:06:01.620 policy went out in error and furthermore that the policy included incorrect information does anyone believe

00:06:09.300 that because if you do i have a bridge for sale in a certain new york borough that's because when

00:06:17.300 terms of use policies are crafted the corporate legal team goes through such documentation

00:06:24.020 with the proverbial fine-tooth comb lawyers actually fret over all the nitty-gritty details when it comes

00:06:31.380 to terms and conditions right down to whether a particular sentence needs a comma as opposed to a

00:06:38.500 semicolon so the idea that some loosey-goosey and presumably unapproved verbiage got into the acceptable use

00:06:47.860 policy it's completely preposterous this simply does not happen regardless such verbiage is not

00:06:56.900 computer generated somebody at paypal who remains unidentified by the way thought this was a jolly good

00:07:04.420 idea you know that paypal would act as a regulator or law enforcement officer complete with fining powers to send

00:07:12.580 a financial penalty to those users the company deemed to be guilty of wrong think and another

00:07:19.540 thing that further diminishes paypal's credibility on this issue those terms and conditions that paypal

00:07:27.220 would like you to think were just some random error or whatever well they were precisely defined

00:07:34.580 weren't they consider that 2500 penalty the fine is not 2400 nor is it 2600 but precisely 2500

00:07:43.860 contrary to what paypal is claiming today everything about those terms and conditions were thought out

00:07:50.820 completely paypal is not currently in mea culpa mode for its attempt to boost its bottom line as an

00:07:59.140 unofficial sensor rather it is showing contrition because well it got caught red-handed to add fuel to the

00:08:08.180 fire paypal is actually in cover-up mode right now because nobody i know is buying that copious quantity of

00:08:16.900 bullshite that its new and unimproved policy was an error rather i think paypal thought that given the

00:08:25.780 current draconian climate that is now governed by the unholy trinity of wokeism political correctness

00:08:34.100 and cancel culture i think paypal thought they could get away with such a fascist policy without creating

00:08:41.780 any shock waves whatsoever and dare i say it they likely thought they'd be applauded for its censorship

00:08:49.780 stance you know by the usual suspects everyone from the joe biden democrats and the justin trudeau

00:08:56.500 liberals to all of those moronic marxists on campus all of whom have a problem with free speech 1.00

00:09:03.620 and none of whom have a problem with limiting free speech even in the usa you know you know folks in a

00:09:12.980 way i kind of regret that this policy is not taking effect on november 3rd because i would have loved

00:09:20.180 to know what the corporate masters at paypal would deem to be so-called misinformation we'll never know for

00:09:27.620 sure but i do have a hunch based on the political landscape of silicon valley which is to say here's

00:09:35.540 betting that a paypal user questioning the legitimacy of the 2020 u.s federal election would indeed be

00:09:43.940 slapped with a 2500 misinformation fine whereas a user questioning the legitimacy of the 2016 election

00:09:53.700 oh they'd be free to do so they might even be rewarded i'm also going to speculate that anyone

00:10:00.340 disagreeing with the policies of head medical necromancer dr anthony fauci would also find his or

00:10:08.340 herself 2500 light in the pocket as well i would have also loved to witness the drama of a fined paypal

00:10:17.940 customer fighting such a grotesque penalty in court maybe paypal deems itself to be above and beyond the

00:10:26.100 law but maybe a court of law might render a different opinion in the bigger picture what is it about

00:10:34.980 providers of financial services reinventing themselves as the guardians of society in the first place

00:10:42.180 i understand that if you go to a bank for a car loan or a mortgage and you lack a sufficient income

00:10:48.180 and your credit score is in the sewer well yeah a bank is under no obligation to pony up the funds

00:10:55.860 that's the free market economy at work but what we are seeing now increasingly has very little to do with

00:11:03.700 the free market economy folks indeed capitalism is an economic system which recognizes individual

00:11:10.500 rights but what we are witnessing now is corporatism which is an alternative form of socialism that

00:11:17.860 intends to achieve social justice whatever that is case in point remember ezra levent's monologue last

00:11:26.020 december when he outed the royal bank for declining our mortgage application incredibly rbc's decision had

00:11:35.060 absolutely nothing to do with rebels financial wherewithal here check out this excerpt i'm embarrassed

00:11:43.220 i was turned down for a mortgage last week by the royal bank that's pretty embarrassing i'm almost 50

00:11:49.060 years old i've been a royal bank customer for 22 years what's wrong with me

00:11:52.420 except i wasn't rejected because i'm a failure in fact the royal bank mortgage officer who reviewed

00:11:58.420 my application in detail said it was very strong but he's just a regional banker in calgary he said

00:12:05.060 the decision to kill it was made at the royal bank's toronto head office he told me my mortgage

00:12:10.260 application was canceled because rebel news has the wrong opinions see rebel news and i were applying

00:12:17.940 for a commercial mortgage to buy an office building our own place from which we could never be canceled

00:12:24.180 or de-platformed i agreed to put my life savings in as a down payment and to get my personal guarantee

00:12:30.180 on the mortgage the banker was impressed and said he approved of the deal but the toronto head office

00:12:36.660 overruled him because of our conservative views i'm still embarrassed being rejected makes you feel

00:12:43.300 powerless and being rejected for inappropriate reasons feels deeply unfair i don't think people

00:12:49.380 would believe me they'd probably think i was just making excuses except for one thing i have proof

00:12:55.220 from that calgary banker he's told me what the bank was doing to me and why so please give me a few

00:13:02.580 moments i want to show you how cancel culture has come to canadian banks if justin trudeau's liberals don't

00:13:08.340 like you one day you might have your banking cut off too but also stick around because i want to

00:13:14.420 tell you how i intend to get that office building even though trudeau and the royal bank are trying to

00:13:20.420 kill it i have an idea that i think could work i think you'll love it actually but first here's my

00:13:26.340 proof that it was political here's the mortgage officer i dealt with at the royal bank's calgary branch

00:13:31.780 i asked him if there was any financial weakness in the rebel news mortgage application or my personal guarantee

00:13:38.100 and here's what he told me so if you had your way this thing would be a green light but you're just

00:13:42.580 waiting on the political guys yep if i had my way yeah definitely okay we should be fine if we're

00:13:48.820 comfortable given the financials that you have strong cash flows no debt basically and the fact that you

00:13:55.060 know you're willing to put your skin on the game kind of but even though our application was strong

00:14:00.340 we're debt-free thanks to our viewers this calgary banker said the head office in toronto wanted to

00:14:07.060 review it for politics and because of our strong opinions about trudeau the royal bank decided to

00:14:13.380 block us yeah it's just about the nature of the business altogether uh because uh the bank has been

00:14:20.820 uh i'll be blunt with you the bank has been you know trying to pry away from certain you know uh clients

00:14:28.020 where they're kind of out there in the media and uh very strong opinionated you know uh which is your

00:14:35.620 business in a way so we're just uh clearing some internal hurdles to make sure that uh the bank is

00:14:42.340 okay to that uh kind of uh onboard you as a client internally spoiler alert we did not clear those

00:14:50.100 hurdles even though i've done all of my personal banking at that same royal bank branch for decades

00:14:56.500 so how do you like them bitter apples if you're a conservative or hold right of center opinions the royal

00:15:02.980 bank of canada wants nothing to do with you anymore gross oh and you may recall my interview with gary duke

00:15:10.980 of grand prairie alberta back in august scotia bank actually fired gary as a client good golly miss molly

00:15:20.100 what did gary do did he default on a loan payment did he steal one of those chain down bank pens oh no

00:15:28.500 gary was deemed customer non grata for daring to ask an impolite question check it out what pray tell

00:15:38.260 did you do that made your local scotia bank determine that they no longer want to do business with you any longer

00:15:46.820 well i uh just tried to get online with uh an app uh to do some banking online and uh

00:15:59.460 basically

00:16:02.660 there was a rainbow app so i said is there any way to get this rainbow app off my phone

00:16:07.060 um and he responded in a quite quite a shocking way that kind of surprised me and when you say hey are

00:16:15.860 we speaking now uh we talked off air you had dealings with uh mitchell toft he's the uh assistant manager

00:16:22.980 at the branch right yeah so it's through an email discussion that i asked him like there's any way to

00:16:30.260 get the app off and and he yeah he responded he did not respond for a couple days and then when he did

00:16:37.700 he basically hunted me from from uh my bank okay so and i mean i don't know i don't know whatever

00:16:47.860 happened to can we agree to disagree but you sent along the um text that uh mr toff sent to you i'm

00:16:56.260 going to read it verbatim uh gary scotia bank strives to provide an inclusive environment for

00:17:02.420 all members of the lgbtq plus community and during pride month like every other financial institution

00:17:10.180 we have chosen to show our support in a variety of ways including visual signs such as rainbows on our app

00:17:19.300 your request slash complaint will not be entertained as it does not align with our principles

00:17:26.260 your comments are not appreciated nor will they be tolerated which is why we have chosen to

00:17:33.060 terminate our relationship with you you may gather the funds from your account and a termination notice

00:17:39.940 will be mailed to you advising the date you have until to retrieve any funds any funds in the account

00:17:48.340 upon the date of closure will be put into a bank draft and mailed to the address we have on file

00:17:56.020 you know i love that statement by the bank manager when he says that the bank is all about inclusivity

00:18:02.660 and tolerance only to be intolerant of gary duke's question and then the bank embraces exclusivity by

00:18:12.180 firing gary as a customer oh the irony but in the final analysis there is a silver lining to the now

00:18:21.300 aborted paypal policy first their proposed perverse policy of finding people a hefty 2500 for wrong thought

00:18:32.260 is now deader than disco secondly the company's shares are now down almost six percent good and thirdly

00:18:42.580 customers are abandoning paypal on mass indeed just consider this usa today story from two days ago

00:18:50.340 entitled quote how to delete your paypal account permanently and what to keep in mind before you

00:18:57.300 do end quote ouch folks do you think paypal is now suffering from buyers remorse these days thanks to its

00:19:06.980 desire to rebrand itself you know from paypal to pay pirate and that's the crux of the matter when it

00:19:16.420 comes to political correctness and wokeism and cancel culture the moral of this sordid story is this

00:19:25.060 don't play ball don't bend the knee stand up to these despicable censors and these malicious marxists 0.97

00:19:34.500 that's what happened to paypal over the weekend and it has been rightfully punished indeed how's

00:19:41.300 this for jaw dropping irony paypal was planning to financially discipline its customers for shockers

00:19:49.940 espousing a contrarian opinion to leftist narrative nonsense and now it is paypal itself being financially

00:19:59.220 disciplined due to users closing their paypal accounts and given that paypal stock is now in freefall

00:20:07.940 loving it loving it you know if they ever get around to making more black mirror episodes i'd love to see

00:20:15.220 a tale based on the paypal censorship fiasco and unlike nosedive and so many other episodes of black

00:20:23.380 mirror the paypal story will indeed have a happy ending there are so many reasons to loathe the arrive can

00:20:41.140 app and now a new reason has emerged namely what if i told you that it appears that the federal government

00:20:49.220 overpaid overpaid for this app to the tune of 53 million 750 000 you see the off the lot price of this

00:20:58.740 app was 54 million but many observers in the tech field say that given the utter simplicity of the app

00:21:07.780 it shouldn't have cost any more than 250 000 so what's the deal how does a 250 000

00:21:16.980 app balloon into a 54 million dollar app do the impartial tech gurus have it wrong somehow

00:21:25.380 or is this yet again another example of the taxpayer being gouged and joining me now to discuss this

00:21:34.260 issue further is the federal director for the canadian taxpayers federation and that would be franco

00:21:39.540 teresano thanks so much for joining me on the ezra levant show franco well thanks so much for having

00:21:44.660 me on tonight always a pleasure so franco holy sticker shock even if that 250 000 guesstimate

00:21:53.380 is on the low side one thing we all know for certain is this there's no way in heck this should have cost

00:22:00.820 54 million dollars so my friend what's going on here yeah that's the 54 million dollar question isn't it

00:22:08.100 what is going on here i mean it certainly smells like another taxpayer boondoggle coming from ottawa

00:22:14.420 to me doesn't it now 54 million dollars that is double the previously disclosed price tag so so why are

00:22:23.060 we seeing higher costs than what were what was originally uh disclosed to the public now wouldn't

00:22:28.180 it just be so nice to wake up one day just one day out of the air and see a news story about a government

00:22:35.300 program actually costing less than what was originally budgeted but of course again taxpayers

00:22:41.060 across canada are waking up to a story of another government program that is costing us more and

00:22:46.180 more you know franco if you ever do wake up to that story forget about reaching out to us here at rebel

00:22:51.940 news call right away ripley's believe it or not because they might have to fact check you know i mean we

00:22:59.220 our headquarters is not that far away from the eglinton cross uh town lrt project that was started

00:23:05.300 in 2011 and you can barely tell in certain sections that any work has been done in more than a decade

00:23:12.100 and of course it's delayed and it's over budget and people would argue twas ever thus but getting back on

00:23:17.620 topic here this was developed by a toronto-based uh tech company called laser technologies um what do they

00:23:26.580 have to say about this franco well you know if we ever did wake up to that story where the government

00:23:31.700 uh actually saved us some money it must be april fool's day uh but of course the joke is always

00:23:37.700 on taxpayers so let me jump to what might be the most bizarre part of this whole story you know we all

00:23:43.220 just celebrated thanksgiving weekend um well there was one techie a single techie who managed at the

00:23:50.020 beginning of the thanksgiving weekend who managed to develop a replica of the app took them

00:23:56.180 i took the individual two days so they started at the beginning of thanksgiving weekend they were

00:24:00.900 still able to make thanksgiving dinner so if it's taking a single techie two days to develop an app

00:24:06.900 i think taxpayers have every right to be shaking our heads scratching our heads and wondering how

00:24:11.780 in the world did the federal government manage to spend 54 million dollars on the app and as you

00:24:17.300 mentioned uh there was some people in the tech industry who were estimating that the raw development of

00:24:22.740 the app could have cost even under 250 000 now maybe more things go into the app than just its raw

00:24:30.740 development but i think every single canadian right now deserves answers from the federal government

00:24:36.100 as to why the tab ballooned to 54 million dollars and franco we are not getting answers from the federal

00:24:42.660 government on friday uh conservative mp michael barrett he asked how in the world does this thing end up

00:24:48.260 costing 54 million dollars and the response he got and i'll call it a non-response in fact i'll call

00:24:54.260 it rubbish liberal mp anthony horsefather replied i will make no apology for an app that saved the lives of

00:25:03.700 tens of thousands of canadians madam speaker i will make no apology for an app that saved the lives of

00:25:12.820 tens of thousands of canadians this was part of a global health strategy in order to protect canadians

00:25:19.300 and this app was put in place in april of 2020 one month after a global i i'm sorry i i have my my

00:25:28.740 speakers on and i still can't hear the answer and i i don't think that the honorable member who asked

00:25:33.860 the question is also able to hear the answer so i would just ask members to please hold off uh the

00:25:39.140 honorable member for uh the honorable secretary can start from the top thank you very much

00:25:43.460 madam speaker so this app was put in place one month after a global pandemic was declared and in return

00:25:49.220 and in return for doing for answering that question where the honorable member has insinuated that the

00:25:54.980 price is entirely related to developing the app that price related to development accessibility and

00:26:00.420 support maintenance and multiple different contracts it was not related just to the development of the app

00:26:04.900 this is unbelievable how does he come up forget the 54 million dollar figure at this point i want

00:26:12.900 to know how this liberal mp thinks that tens of thousands of canadian lives have been saved

00:26:19.860 by this app what gives well what the government should be apologizing for is a complete lack of

00:26:27.620 transparency right and this is this is a lack of transparency when it comes to corporate contracts

00:26:34.180 like that is a huge deal for taxpayers um you know the company that received the most amount of federal

00:26:40.420 dollars for this now they hired a bunch of subcontractors look i'm not a business guru i don't

00:26:46.820 know if that is the best uh way to produce this but what i do know is that taxpayers are the ones who are

00:26:52.340 paying the bill we deserve to know who those subcontractors are but for whatever reason the government

00:26:59.460 has been unwilling to show taxpayers just who those subcontractors are who worked on this app and now

00:27:06.020 we see the tab ballooning to 54 million dollars again that is double than what was previously

00:27:11.380 disclosed to the public so we need full transparency on this we paid the bills we need to see who is

00:27:16.340 working on it and why the tab ballooned the way it did and franco um we are not getting any transparency

00:27:23.220 on this in fact they're doing virtue signaling by saying this app saved uh tens of thousands of lives which of

00:27:28.580 course they cannot prove my question is do you suspect somebody is getting greased along the way

00:27:36.100 from when this came up as an idea on a piece of paper to the final product that you know there's

00:27:42.340 i don't know some payola going on behind the scenes some liberal crony friends are getting enriched because

00:27:49.060 i'm sorry we look at the numbers once again and and listen i don't understand these things i'm a

00:27:54.580 dinosaur i think the iphone is akin to magic but when i see so many people in the canadian tech

00:28:01.140 sphere say this is outrageous there's no way this should cost 54 million is somebody behind the scenes

00:28:08.740 getting greased well i don't know and that's why it's so important that we have full transparency a

00:28:14.100 full disclosure of exactly who these subcontractors were now one thing i think we have to point out to

00:28:20.100 now i saw this in a national post article i was just reading you know scrolling through twitter i

00:28:24.820 saw this national post article about uh the techies who are able to make this app or reproduce the app

00:28:30.660 in two days and one thing that really stuck out to me is that um the government managed to outsource

00:28:36.340 the development of the app to about 23 or 23 companies uh eight of eight companies had commissions

00:28:43.780 of one million dollars or more now when i saw that i couldn't believe it but maybe that explains why the

00:28:49.780 tab ballooned the way it did but franco why would they do that i mean again i don't know the nuts and

00:28:55.540 bolts of developing an app but why would you go out to 23 different companies i mean i i can't connect

00:29:04.420 the dots here my friend well neither can i and look i am not a business guru when it comes to the it

00:29:10.420 industry but here's the thing we advocate on behalf of taxpayers and it's not just the dollars and cents

00:29:15.700 of course this is a huge sum of money 54 million dollars but another key issue here is the

00:29:21.140 transparency it's the accountability or should i say lack thereof now we haven't heard any reasonable

00:29:27.780 explanation from this government as to why there's a lack of transparency and as to why it cost us so

00:29:34.020 much and look it's not like the app was uh was flawless i mean i think we all remember hearing stories

00:29:39.940 about some of the hiccups here i remember hearing reports back in july of thousands of travelers who

00:29:46.100 were uh forced into mandatory quarantine uh even though they they had all of their ducks in a row so

00:29:51.860 to speak no you're so right this adds insult to injury i think franco because uh that arrive can

00:29:58.500 app i used to call it arrive can't uh because it wasn't just a dead dog it was a dead dog with fleas

00:30:04.660 i had a friend who was at um montreal trudeau airport and nobody's arrived can was working so

00:30:12.340 the border agents were just hustling everyone through um so far from it from saving the lives

00:30:18.580 of tens of thousands of canadians uh this thing uh was very temperamental in terms of when it would work

00:30:25.540 i guess the last question is we're not going to get a transparent answer uh franco from the trudeau

00:30:32.340 liberals so does this mean we're going to have to i don't know file uh an foi and force them to

00:30:39.220 cough up the nitty-gritty costing behind this thing well isn't that unfortunate that we actually

00:30:45.700 are the ones who are going to have to be able to file the a tips to get an answer from this government

00:30:49.860 rather they should be completely transparent with the public but you know what i think a lot of people

00:30:54.020 are mad about this and rightfully so because you know it's it's sometimes it could be fun to poke

00:30:59.380 uh at government waste but we have to remember right now canadians are paying too much tax because

00:31:04.820 the government is wasting too much money and unfortunately this is not the first example far

00:31:10.180 from it where we have seen the trudeau government the federal government waste our tax dollars and

00:31:15.060 the reason we're all paying way too much tax is because the government in ottawa is wasting too much

00:31:19.780 of our money and it seems to as ever thus i mean as the old line goes franco the two most

00:31:25.860 oft repeated lies in history this uh number two being the check is in the mail and number one being

00:31:33.060 hi i'm from the government i'm here to help you unbelievable well let's see if we can shake some

00:31:39.300 answers uh out of this tree uh this is despicable i mean the sad thing is in the big picture uh some

00:31:46.260 people might be saying what's 54 million but that's not the point here there's no way something that was

00:31:52.020 a quarter of a million dollars should balloon to that and when we get those answers franco i'd love

00:31:57.220 to have you back on the show and we'll go through that so thank you so much for bringing this to our

00:32:02.500 attention my friend well thanks so much for having me on tonight thank you and that was franco terrizano

00:32:09.060 a director with the canadian taxpayers federation keep it here more of the ezreal event show to come

00:32:15.540 right after this

00:32:25.780 well folks as usual lots of feedback regarding last night's edition of the ezreal event show hosted by

00:32:32.340 the big boss man himself ezra on the news that dina henshaw was fired ggfd writes looking forward to

00:32:42.180 hearing henshaw has been fired and a whole lot of other ahs useless top end deadwood oh i share your

00:32:51.780 celebration the g had on the unvaccinated the war against those businesses that had the temerity to 0.67

00:33:00.500 you know open up like costco and walmart this was thanks to henshaw policies and i would love to see the

00:33:09.140 purge continue right up to the chief health medical necromancer that would be dr theresa tam 1.00

00:33:17.380 and on ezra's interview with celine on the news that arthur's trespass charges were dropped

00:33:24.980 rand user rumble writes persecution prosecution fails again yay for pastor art i mean you know can

00:33:35.060 you believe it folks not that you would have known about pastor art's plight if you relied on the

00:33:40.020 mainstream media here was someone that wanted to conduct religious services here was someone who

00:33:45.540 wanted to feed the homeless and what did they do they made an example out of him as though he was a

00:33:52.500 murderer it was absolutely shameful for this great man to be treated the way he has and he will he's

00:34:01.300 continuing to have his day in court in fact so far he's batting a thousand and perseus 09 writes we can

00:34:10.420 sum this up this way the police quotation marks the prosecutors the karens the government the mainstream

00:34:18.180 media all of these groups are on a power trip they are all trying to play king of the hill and each of

00:34:25.060 them is getting knocked off one by one the worst part is that they are all using public funds taxes to

00:34:32.820 attack not just arthur but the rest of us i'm guessing they are hoping that some people will just throw

00:34:40.020 their hands up and surrender from emotional exhaustion you know i think you're right i think some people

00:34:48.420 did surrender but there was a whole bunch of other people that refused to bend the knee and on the

00:34:53.620 subject of those who took glee in eclipsing our rights and freedoms you know folks i think there

00:35:01.060 were those in law enforcement that wanted absolutely nothing to do with this this was not what they signed

00:35:08.660 up for this was not fulfilling their duties as a police officer but i think there was another contingent

00:35:15.860 you know the losers the bullies with a badge that thrived on the covid enforcement days and they should

00:35:25.300 all be ashamed of themselves what's more they should find another job you are not a good cop when you go

00:35:32.500 after law-abiding citizens and arrest them for what not wearing a mask not social distancing not closing down

00:35:41.300 their livelihood absolutely despicable well folks that wraps up another edition of the ezra

00:35:47.380 levent show thanks so much for tuning in i think either ezra or sheila gun reid will be here tomorrow

00:35:53.540 we'll wait and see in the meantime as always stay sane

00:36:16.660 how do you feel with law enforcement going forward in this country

00:36:19.940 do you trust them no i definitely can't trust anyone in the law enforcement anymore

00:36:25.060 not that i really could before it anyway i mean if it wasn't for us getting help from you know

00:36:30.660 people online today then we wouldn't have been with no idea what would happen today

00:36:36.260 you know if we didn't have this fun page and everything we've no idea how this could have came out

00:36:49.700 gabby burnett is set to begin gabby has been accused of assaulting a police officer after

00:36:54.660 they forced their way into their home back in january 2021

00:37:24.340 case thrown out of court and we can't do it without your help because this case is so important

00:37:29.940 because it could happen to any one of us so please head over to stand with gabby.co.uk

00:37:35.860 to help fund the good fight so i'm here with julie and gabby burnett just outside of aberdeen

00:37:41.300 district court as legal proceedings are about to begin after they are being accused of assaulting

00:37:45.940 a police officer after they forced their way into their home back in january 2021

00:37:51.140 we've set up a crowd funder at standwithgabby.co.uk to help fund a top lawyer to get this ridiculous

00:37:56.340 case thrown out of court but julie now that the day has now come how do you feel i feel that it's

00:38:04.100 been put off so long because i think they're trying to make it disappear i think they want it to go away

00:38:10.820 and are you confident not at all i don't think it's going to go in our favor at all

00:38:15.220 i think they're just trying to paint us as the bad ones because they've messed up so badly

00:38:20.660 that they have to try and make us look like we've actually done something when we haven't

00:38:25.620 and gabby regardless of the outcome today how do you feel with law enforcement going forward in

00:38:31.940 this country do you trust them no i definitely can't trust anyone in the law enforcement anymore

00:38:37.540 not that i really could before it anyway i mean if it wasn't for us getting help from

00:38:41.940 you know people online today then we wouldn't have been with no idea what would have happened today

00:38:48.740 you know if we didn't have this fun page and everything we've no idea how this could have came

00:38:52.500 out

00:39:04.340 and what sort of effect has the past two years had on your family because it's been

00:39:08.340 it's been a long time and it's now finally coming to pass today but how have you all coped

00:39:14.260 it's just been it's really stressful haven't having it hanging over our heads all this time

00:39:18.580 especially when you're getting a new job and everything like that it's not the sort of thing

00:39:22.500 you know it's hard to if someone wasn't aware of the story it's hard for me to try and explain

00:39:27.700 my side without looking by you know because people will tend if they don't know they would

00:39:32.020 tend to go with the officials so it's hard trying to defend myself even in situations like that like

00:39:38.500 getting employment and things like that so it's it's been a big stress

00:39:41.300 so that's julie and gabby burnett just before their day in court if you want to help fund the good

00:39:48.660 fight head over to stanwithgabby.co.uk after a quick in and out how do you think it went today

00:39:56.020 um not too great i'd rather have just got it over and done with the fact that it's going to be hanging

00:40:00.660 over our heads into another year is really quite stressful having had this adjourned dragging this into

00:40:09.540 a second year do you feel more or less confident about next time you're in court uh less confident

00:40:17.300 definitely by what's just happened there which was not much at all i think we're in there for about

00:40:22.180 three minutes i don't feel like anything's on our side right now especially with the law

00:40:31.940 so you've heard from gabby and julie burnett there they're not too confident but with your support at

00:40:37.540 stanwithgabby we can get one of scotland's top law firms to hopefully get this ridiculous case

00:40:43.620 thrown out of court so please head over to stanwithgabby.co.uk and help fund the good fight

00:40:49.700 thank you

00:41:07.540 and we're in aberdeen district court this morning but the case was quickly adjourned and the can of

00:41:16.420 overzealous policing was kicked down the road until january next year now rebel have to be here because

00:41:23.300 the mainstream media are not this overzealous policing should be a mainstream media story

00:41:29.940 because this is an example of the coronavirus act being abused and it could be abused again
