Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ Politicians create a Frankenstein's monster — now they're upset that it's frightening the townspeople

00:00:00.000 Oh, hey, Rebels. I bet you're expecting Ezra Levant's melodious voice, but no, it's me, Sheila Gunn-Reed. I'm filling in for the big boss man tonight as he's away.

00:00:11.060 Tonight, we are talking to Rebel News reporter Jeremy Lafredo about his petition to support an Amish Pennsylvania farmer in his battle against the federal government for the crime of selling his produce to willing consumers.

00:00:24.500 I know, it's a crime, apparently, according to the American government.

00:00:29.980 And then I am in my monologue tonight explaining why I think some of these internet COVID cults are a direct response to the absolute madness of the politicians and their restrictions over the last two and a half years.

00:00:52.220 I'll thread the needle. You're going to have to pay attention, though.

00:01:54.380 Politicians have created a Frankenstein monster.

00:02:14.580 Now, they're the ones that are upset.

00:02:16.800 They're monsters running through the village, frightening all the townspeople.

00:02:20.100 And reporter Jeremy Lafredo joins me to discuss the American government's war on an Amish farmer in Pennsylvania.

00:02:27.700 It's August 18th, 2022.

00:02:30.020 I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed, but you are watching The Ezra Levant Show.

00:02:33.660 You're fighting for freedom!

00:02:36.460 Shame on you, you censorious bug!

00:02:39.740 You know, I've given a lot of thought about why the trucker convoy happened at all.

00:02:53.720 Why did these normal people and often blue-collar people from all across the country with obvious other things to do decide to take a month of their lives at great personal cost to go to Ottawa to protest the federal government?

00:03:06.820 Now, the more I think about coming up with a complex answer to all of this, the answer is so simple.

00:03:15.260 It's because somebody had to do something and nobody else was.

00:03:19.460 And frankly, I think I'm simplifying that a little bit, too, when I say nobody else was.

00:03:23.380 Our friends at the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms have been fighting against lockdown restrictions from the very beginning.

00:03:30.420 They've been acutely attuned to just how the government has been using the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic to give more and more power and more and more control to itself.

00:03:40.600 Likewise, with our friends at the Democracy Fund, they've been helping so many people through the Fight the Fines initiative, helping people fight their lockdown tickets in court at no cost to them through your generous crowdfunded donations.

00:03:52.860 And they've also been bringing strategic litigation against the federal government throughout the course of the pandemic about COVID jails, vaccine passports.

00:04:02.960 And now they are interveners in the Emergencies Act Commission.

00:04:06.840 And we know people are out there protesting every single week.

00:04:09.920 So I'm not entirely accurate when I say that nobody has been doing anything.

00:04:13.000 But the people whose jobs it is to protect our civil liberties, well, there were tumbleweeds blowing through the spots where they should have been standing these last two and a half years, right?

00:04:25.140 The politicians whose job it is to make sure that they don't draft rules and regulations that just stomp all over the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

00:04:33.820 Well, they did exactly the opposite.

00:04:35.320 They disregarded the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to grant themselves more and more power and inject themselves into every single aspect of our lives.

00:04:43.460 They told us who we could have in our homes, where we could travel, who could sell us a burger, and how many people would be with us when we buried our dead.

00:04:53.820 Academia disregarded evolving science to enforce political solutions.

00:04:58.400 People who had spent their entire academic careers examining ethics when challenged with an ethical dilemma failed to rise to the test.

00:05:07.160 Courts were no longer considering the Constitution and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which should guide all judicial decisions.

00:05:14.300 And they ruled against people who were exercising their Charter-protected rights of expression, religious freedom, and association.

00:05:20.820 The media, which is supposed to have a job that speaks truth to power and holds politicians to account, were holding the people to account instead.

00:05:28.400 They were cheerleading the politicians and attacking those who differed from the official government narrative.

00:05:34.380 Our employers, well, maybe yours, but not mine.

00:05:36.620 They didn't care about how hard we worked or how often we showed up.

00:05:40.320 They only cared about what medicines we stuck in our bodies as a term of our employment, changing our contracts after the fact.

00:05:46.600 The police, who we thought were out there to protect our communities and protect our civil liberties, were the ones clubbing us for peacefully protesting.

00:05:54.660 People were banned from traveling, banned from church, banned from meeting, banned from eating inside, banned from their friends and family's houses, isolated and alienated, banned from their jobs, banned from medical treatment.

00:06:08.040 Politicians, maybe even the ones you voted for, called you names and accused you of thinking or being horrific things.

00:06:15.880 People who think I am involved in a global conspiracy to traffic children, literally, literally showing up to vote on a global life.

00:06:35.300 It's not just COVID craziness, by the way.

00:06:38.600 Preston Manning used to say that a bright light attracts a few bugs.

00:06:41.400 Well, there's more than a few bugs attracted to us, this party right now, because of COVID and other anger.

00:06:48.340 But generally, these are, I'm just going to tell you guys, I don't say this stuff, these are just kooky people, generally.

00:06:54.540 I mean, all of that noise on social media, all the chatter, the lunatics are trying to take over the asylum.

00:06:59.780 And I'm not going to let them, I will not let that happen, I will not let this mainstream Conservative Party become an agent for extreme hateful, intolerant, bigoted and crazy views.

00:07:16.780 These marginal voices do not represent Albertans, they certainly do not represent the United Conservative Party.

00:07:24.440 If you don't want to get vaccinated, that's your choice. But don't think you can get on a plane or a train besides vaccinated people and put them at risk.

00:07:34.000 Oui, on va s'en sortir de cette pandémie par la vaccination.

00:07:37.420 Puis on en connaît tous, des gens qui sont en train d'hésiter un petit peu, on va continuer d'essayer de les convaincre.

00:07:43.720 Mais il y a aussi des gens qui sont farouchement opposés à la vaccination.

00:07:47.240 Qui sont extrémistes.

00:07:48.260 Qui croient pas dans la science, qui sont souvent misogynes, souvent racistes aussi.

00:07:52.700 C'est un petit groupe, mais qui prend de la place.

00:07:57.860 Et là, il faut faire un choix en tant que leader, en tant que pays.

00:08:01.380 Est-ce qu'on tolète?

00:08:03.460 We have, you know, a bunch of yahoos out in the front of Queen's Park, sitting there protesting that the place isn't open. 0.99

00:08:11.780 As they're breaking the law and putting everyone in jeopardy.

00:08:15.180 And if you question anything that was happening to you, in a public way, maybe on social media,

00:08:19.820 you were immediately banned from that too.

00:08:22.760 Politicians ignored the cries of the people as the people spiraled into despair and fear.

00:08:28.120 Politicians created extreme isolation and a sense that the times were just so crazy that they couldn't even be real at all.

00:08:34.700 So is it any wonder, in the midst of all of this madness, that an internet cult arose?

00:08:39.460 Frankly, I'm surprised it took so long when you think about the conditions that cults need.

00:08:44.020 Cults require isolation to increase indoctrination,

00:08:46.460 well, the politicians already did that to the people through their mandates, didn't they?

00:08:50.980 And cults, well, they need people to cut off communication with their friends and family.

00:08:56.400 And if the politicians didn't already do that, well, no worry, big tech certainly did.

00:09:01.360 Cults offer secret knowledge, a solution only they have to an insurmountable societal problem before you.

00:09:08.940 All you have to do is follow blindly.

00:09:10.640 Now, every cult exists in the ethos of its time.

00:09:13.940 The Manson family thrived in the hedonistic, free-love, hippie culture of sex and drugs.

00:09:18.340 And then drugs became the fuel of murder.

00:09:21.060 The cult of Queen Romana exists in the ethos of our time here in Canada.

00:09:26.220 Where people charged with upholding the law, are they themselves so lawless and the law so toothless

00:09:30.880 that Romana's laws, explanations and excuses seem reasonable to the most desperate amongst us?

00:09:36.900 It's predatory.

00:09:38.160 Do you know who Queen Romana is?

00:09:39.800 I've been watching her out of the corner of my eye for about the last year.

00:09:43.540 I know my friend, Andrew Chapados, has done an extensive report on her in the past.

00:09:48.500 She claims to be the Queen of Canada, get this, after the Queen of England was executed

00:09:52.720 and then Romana was installed as the secret queen of our country by the American military. 0.96

00:09:58.060 I know, who knew?

00:10:00.160 Romana's amassed quite a group of followers online, including on her Telegram channel,

00:10:04.500 because she's basically been booted off every other social media platform, creating exclusivity.

00:10:11.500 She's the queen of the latest incarnation of QAnon and she tries to attach herself to the freedom movement 0.97

00:10:16.380 as cult leaders tend to do.

00:10:18.280 They see which way the wind is blowing and then they go in that direction as well.

00:10:21.860 That's how you get followers.

00:10:23.320 Now, if I recall correctly, and I think I am, Romana's followers even raised about 60,000 bucks

00:10:29.260 for her to buy a used RV to drive across Canada, which is, I guess, her dominion now,

00:10:34.540 and spread the good word of her cult.

00:10:37.540 Now, all of this brings me to Peterborough Mayor Diane Tyrion.

00:10:41.600 I'll get to her in a second, but we need to talk a little bit more about crazy Queen Romana 0.96

00:10:46.420 and the insane actions of her followers.

00:10:49.240 A couple of days ago, some people, upon the direction of Queen Romana,

00:10:53.780 decided to go to the local Peterborough police station

00:10:56.340 and perform citizen's arrests on local police officers there.

00:11:00.060 It's one of those things Queen Romana tells her followers to do, 1.00

00:11:03.180 not that she would ever do it herself,

00:11:05.040 because even she knows deep in her heart that she's not the Queen of Canada

00:11:09.120 and if she did the things that she says her followers should do, she would be arrested.

00:11:13.020 Although she's perfectly fine to sit in her mini-winnie and watch other people do it.

00:11:16.980 Anyway, as expected, the citizens' arrests on behalf of Queen Romana,

00:11:20.900 well, they didn't go well, and ultimately the people involved were charged.

00:11:24.560 And Queen Romana, she receded into her RV like a QAnon Charles Manson 0.99

00:11:28.900 without all the charismatic, manic energy inspiring her cult followers to do that,

00:11:34.160 which she would never do.

00:11:35.840 And Peterborough mayor, Diane Tyrion, well, she took to Twitter to call those involved FWADs. 0.94

00:11:41.780 Now, let's just set aside how ridiculously unprofessional that is for a second,

00:11:45.860 because I think that's a secondary issue.

00:11:48.720 Tyrion drove these people into the arms of Queen Romana.

00:11:52.740 Times are so crazy, and people are so disoriented,

00:11:56.300 that for some, what Queen Romana says seems normal.

00:11:59.900 They're desperate for answers, and no one,

00:12:03.180 especially the politicians, is providing anything.

00:12:05.840 Now, instead of stopping and taking a moment of introspection to think about

00:12:09.840 their role in driving people into the arms of this madwoman,

00:12:14.080 the politicians only have what they've always had for desperate people,

00:12:17.940 invective and spite and malice.

00:12:20.520 Queen Romana is the Frankenstein monster created by our politicians 1.00

00:12:24.580 over the last two and a half years.

00:12:26.620 And now, the politicians are shocked because their Frankenstein monster

00:12:30.820 is stomping all over the town, scaring the villagers.

00:12:34.440 They did this.

00:12:36.260 They own Queen Romana, but just like Queen Romana, 0.94

00:12:39.380 they don't like responsibility either.

00:12:41.700 Stay with us.

00:12:42.820 Jeremy Lafredo joins us after the break to discuss

00:12:45.600 the government crackdown on an Amish farmer in Pennsylvania

00:12:48.860 and what Jeremy's doing to help.

00:13:03.500 Sometimes politicians leave a void where crazy people can step into,

00:13:08.500 but sometimes government just flows into every aspect of your life

00:13:13.000 where there is no space between you and the government.

00:13:16.620 And that creates conflict, pain, strife, and sometimes financial hardship.

00:13:22.240 And joining me now is Rebel News reporter Jeremy Lafredo.

00:13:26.180 And he's going to bring us the story of a Pennsylvania Amish farmer

00:13:31.080 who, I guess, as the story goes,

00:13:34.040 has been butting up against the government for a very long time.

00:13:37.920 Jeremy, thanks for joining us.

00:13:40.300 Give us the backstory of this one prickly, I guess, Pennsylvania Amish farmer. 1.00

00:13:47.560 And I don't think of the Amish as prickly,

00:13:50.020 but I guess difficult times make difficult people.

00:13:54.320 Of course.

00:13:55.220 There's this farmer in Bird in Hand, Pennsylvania.

00:13:59.260 And, you know, it's a very old Amish village in central Pennsylvania,

00:14:03.700 pretty remote, kind of far from everything else.

00:14:07.440 And there's a farmer named Amos Miller.

00:14:10.480 And he's been farming for, you know, 25 years.

00:14:15.500 No electricity, no fertilizer, no gasoline.

00:14:21.080 He has really, really impressive crop yields

00:14:24.880 using only the oldest of methods.

00:14:28.800 Totally organic.

00:14:30.000 He has milk.

00:14:30.740 He has beef.

00:14:32.140 He has different types of sheep.

00:14:34.620 He has chicken, all types of vegetables.

00:14:36.880 And he has a private buyer's club of about 4,000 people

00:14:40.340 all across the country that pay him top dollar for his food.

00:14:45.940 And the government doesn't like this idea of a private buyer's club.

00:14:51.620 They have raided his farm with armed federal agents.

00:14:56.380 And they have said he needs to stop selling his meat

00:15:00.600 until he gets regulated by the federal agencies

00:15:06.580 whose job it is to, you know, regulate food.

00:15:10.080 And he says, you know, the way you guys regulate it,

00:15:13.220 it kind of hurts the nutrition of the food.

00:15:16.600 You know, you wash it in these things.

00:15:18.060 You go to these, you give them these vaccines.

00:15:22.220 The cows get all types of medicine.

00:15:23.640 I don't do any of that.

00:15:25.100 So I think if going through your regulatory process

00:15:27.440 will actually hurt the quality of my food.

00:15:29.620 And that's what I'm being paid top dollar for

00:15:31.920 is this high quality food.

00:15:34.120 So they are fining him hundreds of thousands of dollars.

00:15:38.040 And they've actually sent armed federal agents there

00:15:40.280 to take inventory of his meat and of his dairy.

00:15:43.740 And they visit him to make sure that he's not selling anything

00:15:47.340 and that he's not ramping up his production in any way.

00:15:51.340 So that's where he is now.

00:15:53.680 He's figuring out how to fight the federal government,

00:15:56.820 what he's going to do.

00:15:58.140 And, you know, he's been put in this really tight spot

00:16:00.420 along with the people who, you know, look to him for this food.

00:16:06.040 They're not getting their meat and dairy right now

00:16:07.900 because of the government.

00:16:09.440 So that's what's happening right now.

00:16:11.120 You know, this is crazy because it sounds like he's farming

00:16:15.300 exactly how the way the government would like the rest of us farmers to farm.

00:16:20.280 No fertilizer, no gasoline, no diesel, no electricity,

00:16:24.740 no fossil fuels, no problems.

00:16:26.440 He's doing exactly what the World Economic Forum

00:16:31.720 would like him to do as a farmer.

00:16:34.000 Somehow he's making go of it.

00:16:35.840 God bless him.

00:16:37.120 But they're still cracking down on him.

00:16:39.020 And what you've described, I think, would be a cooperative

00:16:42.680 where he has this private buyers club.

00:16:45.760 He's not selling anything into the food supply sneakily, right?

00:16:51.440 Like, I think that's where you would think that regulators would get upset

00:16:56.160 where, you know, this certain kind of food is ending up in the food supply

00:17:00.880 along with the other inspected food.

00:17:02.940 And so they should step in then.

00:17:05.000 But people are actually seeking him out specifically

00:17:07.620 because of the way he purchases it or the way he produces it.

00:17:14.620 So, you know, nobody is involved in this unwittingly or unwillingly.

00:17:22.220 So where's the room for the government here?

00:17:24.980 That's a great point.

00:17:26.040 These people who are part of this, you know, private buyers club,

00:17:29.360 they sign a waiver.

00:17:31.920 You know, they pay money to be part of this club

00:17:34.120 specifically because his food is prepared in the way it's prepared.

00:17:39.140 You know, it's not like they are paying for a certain product

00:17:42.120 and they are unknowingly getting food that's not inspected

00:17:45.200 by the federal government.

00:17:46.340 This is exactly what they want.

00:17:48.740 And it's not, you know, snuck into the food supply.

00:17:51.160 Like you said, you know, you can't go to the store.

00:17:53.500 You're not, you're not, it's not getting shipped to places

00:17:56.140 that you aren't aware that this is the food that it is.

00:17:59.520 It's a private buyers club.

00:18:01.220 So that's what he's arguing to the government.

00:18:03.700 He's saying, you know, this food is not, you don't have to worry about it.

00:18:07.880 It's not ending up in any supply chain uninspected.

00:18:10.220 This is exactly what people are seeking me out for.

00:18:12.380 So that's sort of the argument he's using.

00:18:14.260 And I think it's pretty valid.

00:18:16.380 Yeah, I think everybody involved in this is consenting to the transaction.

00:18:19.680 And so you say they sent armed guards or armed officials to inspect his farms.

00:18:29.120 This is atrocious to me.

00:18:30.980 I know a thing or two about our Anabaptist friends where I am.

00:18:35.920 We do have a large quantity of Mennonites where I am, but also Hutterites too.

00:18:40.800 So that's another Anabaptist sect. 0.73

00:18:43.280 And by and large, they're mostly all pacifist.

00:18:46.680 And so to turn up at a pacifist farm with armed sheriffs, marshals to,

00:18:55.820 I mean, surely he would have just allowed them on his property because he's a pacifist.

00:18:59.740 So what's with the show of force?

00:19:02.200 Exactly.

00:19:02.700 And that's exactly what it was.

00:19:03.720 It was a show of force.

00:19:05.800 It just speaks to how upset the government gets when you try to do things independently,

00:19:12.040 whether you're a pacifist or not.

00:19:13.860 They don't care.

00:19:14.760 They will show you they have guns and you don't have guns.

00:19:18.320 And that seems like all it was.

00:19:20.920 It was, you know, why do you need guns to take a inventory of meat and dairy?

00:19:26.820 This is not something you need firearms for, but, you know, it didn't stop them from bringing

00:19:32.560 their guns, you know.

00:19:33.540 And again, they pulled up, you know, in these giant SUVs, guns, bulletproof vests, like,

00:19:37.940 you know, these are people who have horses and don't have any guns.

00:19:41.100 So it really is just to show them what they're capable of rather than something that is actually

00:19:48.020 required.

00:19:50.020 Yeah, it speaks to the government participating in community-wide intimidation where, you know,

00:19:55.940 this might be this one farmer's farm, but don't the rest of you get any cute ideas about

00:20:03.420 replicating what's happening here on this farm.

00:20:06.300 That's what I think is going on.

00:20:07.560 These small, cloistered, closed communities, word travels fast.

00:20:11.740 If the police raid a farm in an Amish community, it sure spreads like wildfire through the Amish

00:20:17.480 community.

00:20:18.020 And I think it serves to tell everybody else, you know what, you better tow the line, too,

00:20:21.400 because you don't want to end up like this guy.

00:20:24.220 Yeah, that's a great point.

00:20:25.800 And, you know, there are other farms.

00:20:27.480 There's tons of other organic, you know, farms, independent farms in the U.S. that aren't

00:20:32.740 beholden to, you know, federal subsidies or, you know, big corporations, chemicals.

00:20:37.080 Like, there are tons of other farms.

00:20:38.540 And they hear this story and they think, you know, wow, they brought armed guards to these

00:20:44.760 farms.

00:20:45.000 And these people, you know, let it be known, these people do have guns and do have SUVs.

00:20:50.880 So it's less for the Amish people and more for anyone else who in the country who hears 1.00

00:20:59.020 this story sort of as a warning.

00:21:02.120 That's at least the way the way I see it and the way a lot of people see it.

00:21:06.100 Yeah.

00:21:06.580 You know, and farmers trying to sell their goods and services to willing participants.

00:21:11.060 And the moral of the story is, if you do try to cut the government out of the equation,

00:21:17.120 they're going to show up on your doorstep with guns.

00:21:20.340 Now, this isn't the first time.

00:21:21.880 I mean, this is sort of just, again, coming to a head in this community.

00:21:26.880 But this has been an ongoing, percolating dispute, I think, between this farmer and

00:21:32.940 the federal government for quite some time.

00:21:34.380 That's exactly right.

00:21:35.160 Yeah, that's true.

00:21:35.840 A couple of years ago, they tried to shut him down using similar logic, and he did not

00:21:43.260 shut down.

00:21:44.020 And they actually took a sample of his milk and said that they found a similar bacteria

00:21:49.860 in his milk that was biologically similar, which is the term they used, to a listeria

00:21:56.520 sample that they took from someone who died of listeria in Florida.

00:21:59.340 That's what they said.

00:21:59.860 They died of listeria.

00:22:00.680 This person actually died of leukemia.

00:22:05.600 They had cancer.

00:22:07.860 And so they're really pulling all of the strings, and they're trying to throw everything at the

00:22:15.500 wall and see what sticks.

00:22:16.400 Is this a listeria outbreak?

00:22:18.720 Are they not inspecting their meat properly?

00:22:21.880 Whatever they can come up with, the federal government, they're using to try to get this

00:22:26.120 guy out of business.

00:22:26.800 And even the family came out, who supposedly, the mother supposedly died of listeria.

00:22:32.760 The family came out and said she died of cancer.

00:22:35.140 And we don't like that the government is using our mother as a way to try to shut this farm

00:22:42.660 down.

00:22:43.080 We appreciated all of his food and all of his work, and we don't think that his food led

00:22:48.040 to our mother, who had leukemia, led to her death.

00:22:50.700 So this was a couple of years ago.

00:22:52.840 And they've kind of been locking horns for a good while.

00:22:57.040 And locking horns, that's impressive when you consider it's a small farm and the entire

00:23:02.460 U.S. federal government.

00:23:04.820 So we're just at the latest dispute between the two.

00:23:10.780 And who knows where it's going to go from here?

00:23:12.580 You know, it's a weird phrase for them to use, biologically similar, because that doesn't

00:23:17.960 mean that it is the same strain.

00:23:19.940 As you know, humans are biologically similar to gorillas, but I'm not a gorilla.

00:23:26.040 And I think this is sort of, it goes to the moral of the story of the last two years, where

00:23:31.620 if you were someone who was sort of self-sustaining, or if you didn't look to the government as

00:23:38.100 your solution, your protector, and your permitter, then you were quickly smashed down.

00:23:45.020 You were that tall poppy that was cut down.

00:23:47.120 We saw it in Canada with our pastors, with our businesses that tried to reopen.

00:23:51.500 But it happened during the coronavirus pandemic, but it has always been a theme.

00:23:56.380 If you are one of those self-sustaining people who doesn't think that the government needs

00:24:02.100 to be involved in every aspect of your lives, that's when the government decides to get involved

00:24:06.500 with you, as we can see in this Amish community.

00:24:09.980 Now, Jeremy, you are advocating for this farmer as best you can.

00:24:15.360 Now, you've been very respectful because these cloistered Amish communities, they don't often

00:24:20.360 welcome the TV cameras, and they don't always want to be filmed.

00:24:24.980 So you've been respectful in your dealings with this community.

00:24:28.820 But tell us how you are advocating for them.

00:24:32.080 Sure.

00:24:32.740 So right now, we're collecting signatures for a petition to leave Amos Miller alone and

00:24:39.300 let his farm sell his food through his private buyer's club, as he's been doing successfully

00:24:44.280 for years.

00:24:45.840 It's at leavethemalone.com.

00:24:48.640 You can sign the petition there.

00:24:49.980 It's leavethemalone.com.

00:24:51.840 And if you sign the petition there and we get enough signatures, I'm going to bring

00:24:55.320 it personally to the Eastern District Court of Pennsylvania, where the federal government

00:24:59.780 is filing their complaints against Amos.

00:25:02.040 So I will deliver it to them.

00:25:03.960 And you can sign the petition at leavethemalone.com.

00:25:06.680 And we'll see how many signatures we can get.

00:25:09.360 If we get enough, hopefully we can help Amos out.

00:25:11.820 Well, Jeremy, I sure appreciate the work that you're doing to advocate for this farmer.

00:25:16.160 As you know, I am a farmer.

00:25:17.840 And I also think the government should stay ahead of our lives.

00:25:21.560 So I really appreciate the work that you're doing.

00:25:23.640 And I also appreciate the care with which you're treating this story, respecting their

00:25:28.560 traditions while trying to tell their story to a broader audience.

00:25:32.740 Jeremy, thanks so much for coming on the show.

00:25:34.800 Thank you.

00:25:35.940 Stay with us more up next after the break.

00:25:38.420 We'll see you next time.

00:26:08.420 Ezra refers to Ezra's interview the other day with James Lindsay on the sexualization

00:26:15.600 of children and Epstein and Bill Gates.

00:26:19.540 Evan Duquette writes, James Lindsay is the guy who can explain where all this weirdness

00:26:24.600 is coming from and what it is for.

00:26:26.760 The fact that they banned him from Twitter proves how important he is.

00:26:30.600 It's not just that they banned James Lindsay from Twitter, although he puts a very public

00:26:36.560 human face to all of this.

00:26:38.780 Twitter and social media is enforcing the normalization of sexualization of our kids.

00:26:46.860 And they are silencing anybody who speaks out.

00:26:51.040 If you use the word OK groomer to describe grooming children, you will be banned.

00:26:59.940 And, you know, the idea that they are doing this under the excuse that they say it's attacking

00:27:06.220 LGBTQ people, I think is inherently homophobic because it presumes that LGBTQ people are OK with 1.00

00:27:18.660 grooming children.

00:27:19.520 And I really don't think they are.

00:27:21.780 I think groomers are OK with grooming children.

00:27:24.040 And I think whether, you know, whether you were taking kids to a heterosexual strip club

00:27:30.600 or a drag show, I think that is grooming no matter how you look at it.

00:27:34.700 And there are a lot of people on both sides who are and continue to be outraged by this,

00:27:40.120 but are silenced by big tech, who I think are probably protecting predators in their midst.

00:27:48.100 Woofious on the same issue writes, speaking of children being preyed upon, don't forget

00:27:53.860 the teachers union in that mix.

00:27:56.600 I won't.

00:27:57.440 Actually, I will direct you to a story here.

00:28:00.680 It was from Calgary and it was just a few short months ago.

00:28:05.140 Michael Gregory, a teacher, admitted he abused students in 2006, but the Teachers Association,

00:28:13.680 that's the teachers union here in Alberta, never reported it to police.

00:28:19.040 The Alberta Teachers Association investigators are under no obligation to report criminal behavior

00:28:26.500 to police.

00:28:27.740 So if the teachers union becomes aware of a molester in their midst, they don't have an

00:28:35.000 obligation to go to police to protect kids.

00:28:39.100 And I think that's outrageous.

00:28:42.460 This information all came to light in the middle of a $40 million proposed class action lawsuit

00:28:48.960 that was filed against the estate of the accused individual and the Calgary Board of Education

00:28:54.820 by three plaintiffs who say they were victims of the teacher's abusive behavior.

00:28:59.480 Gregory worked at John Ware Junior High in 1986 to 2006 as a math, science, and outdoor education

00:29:08.100 teacher.

00:29:08.640 And that last one gives me chills because outdoor education teachers frequently take young people

00:29:13.920 away on trips.

00:29:16.160 And the teachers union, they knew of the complaints.

00:29:19.240 It's just horrific.

00:29:20.760 And our last letter tonight comes to us by way of Andre Corbet, who writes, why are there

00:29:27.140 so many Trudeau cronies guilty of the same offenses?

00:29:31.880 I don't know if it's Trudeau cronies or just liberals in general or progressives in general,

00:29:36.340 I should say.

00:29:38.140 You know, just look at how many people in Hollywood knew about the crimes of Weinstein, but did nothing

00:29:46.380 to protect themselves and to further their own careers, or how many women were willing to submit 1.00

00:29:52.840 to Weinstein's aggressive come-ons if it meant that their career would move forward.

00:30:01.760 People knew it was happening.

00:30:03.440 They did nothing about it.

00:30:04.740 That includes the Clintons, Oprah Winfrey's in the mix there, and the Clintons, you know,

00:30:10.440 they were traveling in the same circles as Epstein, and we still don't know who was in Epstein's

00:30:17.280 little black book.

00:30:18.960 So there's a lot of people still protecting themselves.

00:30:23.220 And, you know, when people are all involved in the same thing, then everybody keeps their

00:30:27.900 mouth shut because once the band-aid rips off, then everybody's in trouble.

00:30:33.780 Well, everybody, that's the show for tonight.

00:30:35.640 Thank you so much for tuning in.

00:30:37.340 Thank you to everybody in the HQ in Toronto and across the country who all work hard behind

00:30:45.280 the scenes to put the show together for you.

00:30:47.660 Thanks to the boss for trusting me to fill in for him tonight.

00:30:50.580 And as Ezra always says, keep fighting for freedom.

00:30:54.180 Do you like all-age children events?

00:30:56.840 I know that I used to, but that was when kids could be kids and not sexualized and not poison

00:31:01.240 with adult issues or in constant confusion about what gender they aren't or aren't.

00:31:05.340 How about when these events, which are all allegedly age-appropriate, are funded by taxpayer dollars,

00:31:11.700 your dollars, to introduce little ones into what I'm terming the transgender. 1.00

00:31:18.800 Over the last few months, I've done some undercover work to help actually expose the real intention

00:31:23.380 of this child grooming group of either wicked or misinformed individuals.

00:31:27.760 My findings?

00:31:28.460 Let me show you.

00:31:29.900 I'd like to remind the audience that we only have access to this data through your generous donations

00:31:33.680 to our Access to Information Filing Fund at rebelinvestigates.com.

00:31:38.280 Visit there to donate more and help keep this important work possible.

00:31:41.880 Speaking of the truth, not only did the city of Calgary spend over $71,275 total on this traveling circus spend.

00:31:50.740 Pumpkin, said Daddy, you know that when I get dressed up as Miss Rita, it's just the same

00:31:59.020 as anyone else getting dressed for work.

00:32:02.120 Lawyers have suits, doctors have lab coats, and I have wigs and beads and glittery cakes.

00:32:09.580 But the event itself came under budget by about $9,000, as their expenditures on progressive

00:32:15.580 gender-raised books and tools of imagination did not exceed that budget set.

00:32:22.020 The letter I wrote down as a treaty seven, um, relationship we all have to get.

00:32:27.420 What's the rules?

00:32:28.360 And it goes, today we acknowledge our treaty seven friends.

00:32:34.920 You can ask that to sign.

00:32:38.060 Where one, what, meet, and tell those fans.

00:32:41.980 I'm all for tolerance and being left alone to live your life, but it's not what this

00:32:46.820 is about.

00:32:47.540 This is about not being left alone.

00:32:49.300 Not you, not your kids.

00:32:51.220 And the psychological effects of injecting a child's mind with these extreme woke leftist

00:32:55.720 ideologies is a very dangerous thing that we see taking place in our society.

00:32:59.560 And while some parents might think that these drag readings are innocent, it's all love,

00:33:03.460 it's all about inclusiveness, really I would have to disagree.

00:33:06.780 If you wouldn't bring your child to a hetero strip club where women expose themselves in 1.00

00:33:11.300 a similar manner, what is the difference between doing it in that fashion or in front

00:33:16.220 of a man with 10 pounds of makeup on and a wig, more or less shaking his junk in front

00:33:21.840 of your child?

00:33:22.960 I think that most of us have seen the videos that have come in from the U.S. where there

00:33:27.440 are children under the age of 18 sticking dollar bills into the thongs of men.

00:33:33.660 There's nothing innocent about this.

00:33:35.940 We'll have to follow along with the story to see just where that money went.

00:33:39.300 But for now, I would like to thank you so much for tuning in.

00:33:42.980 For Rebel News, I'm Celene Gallis.
