Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT SHOW ｜ There's an electric vehicle revolution — you can start it without me

00:00:00.000 tonight have you heard there is an ev revolution brewing uh please start the revolution without me

00:00:22.520 it's thursday september 15th 2022 i'm david menzies and this is the ezra levent show

00:00:30.560 shame on you you sensorious bug

00:00:36.800 so folks the other day the latest issue of car and driver plopped in my mailbox well 0.83

00:00:50.960 that's not completely true i don't have a mailbox i'm one of those second class canadian citizens

00:00:57.520 who doesn't receive home mail delivery i have to schlep over to some community mailbox thingy for

00:01:04.200 the privilege of carting home copious quantities of junk mail you know they say the postman always

00:01:10.700 rings twice but at my home he never rings that bloody doorbell anyway i did eventually crack open

00:01:19.260 this september issue of car and driver and was surprised to see it was their second annual

00:01:26.040 all electric vehicle issue surprised that is because when car and driver published their first

00:01:32.160 all ev issue last year the periodical received perhaps the greatest amount of hate mail in car

00:01:39.100 and driver's 67 year history hey who knew turns out most car and driver readers care less about evs

00:01:46.600 and more about v8s but hope as always abounds i suppose and kudos to editor-in-chief tony caroga

00:01:55.420 who basically implies in his editorial that he's expecting another avalanche of hate mail

00:02:01.400 for this current issue about evs but he implores his readers to quote don't confuse coverage with

00:02:09.520 infatuation end quote but if you are indeed infatuated with ev car stories this issue is definitely

00:02:18.280 for you there are stories about ev suvs and ev sedans and i know this is heresy for so many of you

00:02:26.080 ev pickup trucks there are ev vehicle reviews and there are columnists waxing poetically about evs and

00:02:34.340 there's even a weird story about regular citizens who welcome ev drivers into their homes to charge

00:02:41.760 their vehicles i picked up the silence of the lambs vibe reading that one nevertheless as johnny carson

00:02:50.120 sidekick ed mcmahon used to bellow everything you need to know about electric vehicles is in this issue

00:02:57.580 of car and driver and as johnny would reply um not quite hydroelectric breath you see as the ev

00:03:06.380 revolution sallies forth there are some not so glowing stories that must be noted about these vehicles that

00:03:14.940 have ditched fossil fuels indeed not to dump on progress but allow me to outline why evs are not

00:03:23.460 really the miraculous planet saving vehicles that those in power would have you believe first and

00:03:30.600 foremost there's the price tag the cover story of this issue of car and driver is the proclamation of

00:03:37.400 the ev of the year and spoiler alert it's not a luxury laden jaguar or a wickedly fast lucid it's a

00:03:47.020 humble hyundai ioniq 5 the ioniq 5 does not boast the fastest speed nor the longest range but rather

00:03:54.860 in the words of car and driver the hyundai ioniq 5 is a quote car priced for the real world end quote

00:04:02.860 well let's just pump the brakes here for a second shall we the price of the ioniq 5 uh car and driver

00:04:10.280 tested is 57 490 now that's before taxes and fees so add about another 11 grand to the off the lot price

00:04:20.040 so is a 69 000 ev really a so-called car priced for the real world if so what planet is car and driver

00:04:31.080 residing on just to take a quick detour for a second i will say this hyundai has come a long long way

00:04:39.180 since the days of the not so dearly departed pony circa 1985 in fact hyundai build quality back then was

00:04:47.740 so awful that the very name hyundai used to be akin to an automotive slur check out that immortal

00:04:54.780 put down by alec baldwin that savage sales trainer in the superb 1992 film glengarry glen ross i've been 1.00

00:05:04.060 in this business 15 years what's your name fuck you that's my name you know why mister because you 0.99

00:05:11.020 drove a hyundai to get here tonight i drove an 80 000 bmw that's my name wow in three decades hyundai 0.99

00:05:19.980 has gone from a punchline to a cover girl but i digress by the way while the advertised sticker price

00:05:27.820 is hefty enough for evs as is given that there is a huge supply shortage out there please note that

00:05:36.220 the dealer markups on evs especially are brutal right now case in point do you know the sticker price

00:05:44.220 of the 2022 ford f-150 lightning ev is us 69 554 dollars but get this folks the dealer markup

00:05:56.060 is an astonishing us 73 341 yes the dealer markup is actually more than the price of the vehicle

00:06:05.980 itself that makes the asking price more than us 142 000 in other words you can have one electric ford

00:06:15.820 150 or two gas powered f-150s for the same price geez where oh where is my i heart fossil

00:06:25.980 fuels t-shirt when i really need it but you know whether or not you clamor for an ev i'm fine with

00:06:32.620 whatever your decision is heck maybe you won the lottery and money is no object choice is a good

00:06:38.780 thing make no mistake folks we are currently living in a golden age of automobiles you want a mini size

00:06:46.140 or a monster-sized suv hey you got it you're into retro themed muscle cars well the detroit three

00:06:53.260 are serving as well with offerings like the mustang camaro and challenger maybe you want to save on gas

00:07:00.060 well there are hybrids galore out there and if you're into hauling cargo and or people many mini 0.94

00:07:06.620 vans are still being manufactured as long as you don't mind driving the automotive embodiment of the

00:07:12.780 white flag of suburban surrender the point is there is a vehicle for every need want and desire

00:07:19.980 better yet the build quality has never been better but i fear this golden age of otterdom

00:07:27.900 is coming to an end in the past year four out of every 10 new vehicle launches were for an electrified

00:07:34.700 vehicle many more are on the way and i'd be perfectly fine with this trend if it were being driven by the

00:07:41.820 free market economy but it isn't no ev propaganda and proliferation is a direct result of government

00:07:50.700 meddling and even quasi-government meddling case in point the world economic forum and the united nations

00:07:58.140 both entities being unelected and non-accountable are increasingly telling us how to live our lives

00:08:04.780 based on climate change they want us to get from point a to point b preferably by public transit they

00:08:12.380 want us to eat bugs they want us to abandon single family dwellings and live in high-rise apartment

00:08:18.380 buildings these are the build back better types hypocritical fun burglars who worship at the altar of

00:08:26.220 saving the planet oh not that wef head honcho claus schwab is going to give up his private jet

00:08:34.220 or his chauffeur-driven limo mind you all these lifestyle changes are for the great unwashed 0.56

00:08:40.860 masses here check out the increasingly creepy bill gates he's attending some event to preach about

00:08:49.020 sustainability and whatnot did he commute there via bicycle well let's just roll the video

00:08:56.060 bill gates just arrived to the cascadia innovation corridor conference in this very environmentally

00:09:17.820 friendly helicopter helicopter how are you guys today so is this an electric helicopter is this helicopter

00:09:30.620 electric these are our bill gates pilots trying to figure out if he arrived today on an electric

00:09:38.380 helicopter or if it takes jet fuel they don't seem to want to be answering our questions because this is

00:09:46.540 the climate change conference where they want net zero carbon emissions but this produces a lot of

00:09:51.980 carbon emissions what do you guys have to say well now wasn't that special i guess that helicopter was 0.99

00:10:00.540 powered by the lithium crystals and the gmc yukon operates on fairy dust what an appalling hypocrite bill 0.90

00:10:08.780 gates is thanks to capitalism thanks to free market economies gates started microsoft out of his

00:10:15.660 garage back in the 70s and went on to become the richest man in the world and now that he has

00:10:21.100 achieved the pinnacle of the american dream he wants us to tear the system down to prevent anyone else

00:10:29.100 from doing likewise anyway mr close and mr gates how about a compromise here i know you really love the

00:10:36.620 idea of us embracing bugs on the menu so i'll tell you what i'll meet you halfway by driving a volkswagen beetle

00:10:44.300 but here's a really scary thing certain real life actual governments are on the war path to actually

00:10:52.940 outlaw gas powered vehicles exhibit a the state of california which is planning to ban the sale of new gas

00:11:01.660 vehicles by 2035 that's not very far away folks and get this 17 other states south of the border ranging from

00:11:11.260 new york and massachusetts to oregon and washington are now considering following california's lead

00:11:18.620 i'm sure you've noticed a predictable trend here yeah they're all blue states of course but back to

00:11:25.180 california governor gavin newsom he foresees a fear a near future in which the vast majority of vehicles

00:11:31.820 from personal cars to public transit buses are 100 emissions free and yet in the here and now

00:11:39.740 just consider the pressure that already exists when it comes to california's power grid check out this

00:11:46.460 story from just last week in the national review quote punishing heat wave in california has triggered

00:11:53.500 rolling blackouts and brownouts but don't blame climate change the crisis is largely due to the state

00:12:00.940 electric grids over reliance on unreliable green energy in a time of record energy demand end quote

00:12:10.620 yeah californians are being told to conserve their energy conserve being a kinder more gentle word for

00:12:19.820 rationing by the way and consider this there are more than 14 million cars in california

00:12:27.820 what would be the effect on the grid in the decades ahead if all those 14 million plus predominantly 1.00

00:12:35.740 gas-powered guards cars are replaced with electric vehicles there could be a solution to this impending

00:12:44.300 energy crisis in california if the state were to embrace nuclear power but the precise opposite is true

00:12:52.540 according to energy wire the reactors at the diablo canyon power plant that is california's last

00:13:00.620 remaining nuclear power plant are being phased out one reactor is scheduled to be shuttered in 2024

00:13:08.700 the second one is set to shut down in 2025 apparently these closures are part of a settlement agreement

00:13:16.460 reached by the plant operator pacific gas and electric company local authorities and of course environmental

00:13:24.060 groups now i don't think one needs to be a mathematics scholar here to see the impending doom california is

00:13:31.580 headed for next decade as nuclear power is phased out and millions of electrical vehicles are phased in

00:13:39.660 this is madness and this energy policy insanity is being generated by nothing more than political virtue

00:13:48.940 signaling gee if only we could harness the hot air that comes from the mouth of democrats oh not that the

00:13:57.820 political or celebrity elites will ever be affected by future brownouts and blackouts mind you the likes of 1.00

00:14:05.900 leonardo dicaprio and jane fonda oh they'll be sure to have state-of-the-art fossil fuel powered

00:14:12.620 generators at their mansions they won't be going without air conditioning for a single second 0.79

00:14:18.780 and there's no way their teslas are going to be reduced to six-figure paperweights thanks to the grid

00:14:25.100 collapsing yet again we're all in this together after all unless you happen to be a member of club

00:14:32.140 beautiful people they're special after all another thing to consider new york is one of the states

00:14:39.580 looking at following california's ban on fossil fuel cars have they thought this through look there are

00:14:46.220 some three million people who live in apartment buildings in new york city alone where is the

00:14:51.500 infrastructure there to allow for charging stations for all those evs oops and let's consider

00:15:00.860 that witch's brew of minerals that goes into those ev batteries shall we a recent paper published by the

00:15:07.580 wef states the following quote this transition from fossil fuels to renewables will need large supplies

00:15:15.020 of critical metals such as cobalt lithium nickel to name a few shortages of these critical minerals could

00:15:24.780 raise the costs of clean energy technologies end quote do you know folks that about 70 of the world

00:15:31.740 supply of cobalt supplied last year came from the congo and that about 40 000 cobalt miners in the

00:15:39.820 congo are actually children oh and guess which nation is increasingly controlling the supply of cobalt and

00:15:47.100 other critical materials that are needed for clean energy technologies well that would be china of course

00:15:55.180 do you really want the mandarins in beijing to be in the driver's seat when it comes to producing the

00:16:00.540 car batteries of the future that the wef wants us to rely on maybe this is what justin trudeau meant

00:16:08.460 when he said that he admired the basic dictatorship of china in terms of you know getting things done

00:16:14.780 or in our case not getting things done like landlocking trillions of dollars of western canadian

00:16:22.060 oil and natural gas that could you know help out europe's impending energy crisis due to a russian 0.93

00:16:29.260 energy embargo and of course the profits from that immense oil wealth could you know balance the

00:16:36.460 budget since it looks like despite what justin once promised the budget is not going to balance itself but no in

00:16:45.180 the name of climate change virtue signaling the justin trudeau liberals want to keep our oil wealth

00:16:51.660 underground they want to help phase out fossil fuel vehicles not for themselves mind you they love

00:16:57.740 getting around in full-size gm suvs and then they want us to rely on china for the ev batteries

00:17:06.860 what could possibly go wrong with that energy strategy oh one last point what happens when ev virtue

00:17:15.580 signaling potentially becomes a matter of life and death the climate change cultists in vancouver are downright

00:17:24.220 euphoric about vancouver being the first city in the country to receive an all-electric fire truck oh

00:17:31.340 goody no co2 emissions coming out of that pumper's tailpipe we're saving the planet right greta how dare 1.00

00:17:40.300 you but here's what they don't want you to know for starters that e fire truck costs three hundred thousand

00:17:51.020 dollars more than a comparable diesel model it will pump 40 percent less water it will have such a

00:18:00.860 shockingly short range about 30 kilometers due to its hefty weight by the way that range issue thingy

00:18:08.140 means the fire truck will be equipped with backup diesel power because you know if this vehicle runs out of

00:18:15.980 power on the way to a power on the way to a house on fire that might be a little embarrassing actually

00:18:22.220 it would be far more than embarrassing might prove deadly but the city of vancouver is prepared to roll

00:18:30.300 the dice when it comes to the well-being of its citizens apparently and why oh the city says this 1.00

00:18:37.100 electronic fire truck will will run more quietly than a diesel-powered fire truck yes the idiots in 0.99

00:18:45.580 charge actually said that apparently they forgot that a fire truck racing to an emergency typically 0.98

00:18:53.020 has a siren blaring at about 120 decibels you know so that others will get out of the way fire trucks

00:19:01.420 are not meant to be silent vessels in the first place so what's next in vancouver electric powered

00:19:09.260 ambulances and e police cruisers hey how about electric hearses you know in a sense i think i'm okay

00:19:16.700 with that one an ev hearse if that vehicle runs out of juice en route to the graveyard it doesn't really

00:19:23.340 matter if one is late for one's own funeral after all does it but seriously this pricey electronic

00:19:31.100 fire truck is the very worst example of climate change activism by loony leftists they are literally

00:19:40.460 playing games with the lives of people all in the name of useless virtue signaling this is irresponsible 0.54

00:19:51.260 this is despicable so i'm so sorry mr schwab and mr gates and governor newsom and prime minister

00:20:00.540 blackface and yes even car and driver magazine when it comes to the ev revolution please start the

00:20:09.980 revolution without me

00:20:23.580 in an utterly senseless attack on monday toronto police officer andrew hong was fatally shot

00:20:29.340 in mississauga as he ate lunch also murdered by the same gunman was mechanic shaquille ashraf later the

00:20:38.140 gunman himself was killed by hamilton police these despicable crimes are equal parts shocking and

00:20:45.340 egregious but in the aftermath of the killings it would seem that once again the criminal justice system

00:20:52.700 has failed that's because the now deceased suspect 40 year old sean petrie was well known to police his

00:21:01.260 rap sheet included convictions for possession of a firearm robbery sexual assault child pornography

00:21:08.860 prostitution procuring trafficking impaired driving and breaching bail conditions and even so folks

00:21:16.700 this individual was not behind bars but walking the streets as a free man unbelievable joining me now

00:21:25.420 to weigh in on this truly grotesque story is ex-toronto police officer and current mayor of toronto candidate

00:21:33.180 blake acton blake so good to have you on the show thank you for joining me i wish it was under

00:21:39.260 better circumstances but before we get into your vision as uh potentially the mayor of the city of toronto

00:21:47.420 what do you make a of this senseless killing rampage that happened on monday and the fact that

00:21:54.540 the the deceased gunman had a rap sheet longer than anyone's arm that i know of what do you have to say

00:22:01.740 about this blake well you know it's plain as day it's despicable it it's just horrible that that uh

00:22:09.980 that poor officer uh you know was not expecting it and and uh it's been as described as he was ambushed

00:22:17.740 and um you know here's a an officer that joined the police force to help and serve the public

00:22:24.940 and he's going for for something to eat and comes out and boom he's taken out and that you know we can

00:22:32.860 say our condolences and we can say we're so sorry what happened and all the rest but we have to stop

00:22:39.340 talking about it we have to start acting on it and you know it's it's it's it's painful to watch as a

00:22:47.260 as a retired police officer to see what's happening is is so sad because there are people that are

00:22:53.980 and people don't realize this a lot of the public do not realize that there are people walking the

00:22:59.980 streets amongst us that are violent violent people and they shouldn't be walking the street they should

00:23:06.540 be locked up and and blake if i may this is the crux of the matter you heard me read out his rap sheet

00:23:14.140 you just said there are several other individuals who are very violent walking the streets why are they

00:23:19.820 walking the streets what is it with our justice system i mean these aren't shoplifters or joyriders

00:23:26.140 these are extremely violent criminals why aren't they behind bars to begin with why why because you

00:23:32.940 know these these people in in in positions uh at in the federal level are are they're like in little

00:23:41.900 glass houses and and it doesn't affect them so if you walk the streets and you're in your amongst uh

00:23:50.140 the middle class and different areas you know you will be affected but the lawmakers are very

00:23:57.500 sheltered and and it's very upsetting to see because you know i i i can i'll bet my bottom door

00:24:05.100 work it's going to continue to get worse and it is in the last eight years it's been getting worse

00:24:12.380 and worse and worse and it's going to continue until finally the lawmakers say enough is enough but

00:24:19.740 the people have to speak up and the people have to speak loud and clear and say we've had enough we

00:24:25.900 want stricter stronger penalties for these offenders and you know i know that's one of the reasons why you

00:24:34.780 are running to hopefully become mayor of toronto blake i mean do you looking back at new york city

00:24:41.820 when it was uh in its depths of despair uh several decades ago the philosophy of the broken windows

00:24:51.580 theory was put into place and that was um stop ignoring uh little crimes because little crimes and

00:24:59.500 little criminals become big crimes uh by big criminals and by that i mean uh fair hoppers uh people uh

00:25:07.980 littering people putting graffiti on alley alleys and that crackdown which was originally um you know

00:25:16.860 discounted by the liberal left it paid dividends new york became a far more safe and livable city

00:25:25.580 unfortunately there seems to be uh a decline back into uh how new york was in the 1970s right now with

00:25:33.100 the current regime but is that sort of your philosophy uh that yeah sweat the small stuff because when you

00:25:40.860 turn a blind eye to it you get uh sanctuary cities that are crime ridden you know my blood boils when i hear

00:25:48.780 this absolutely absolutely we have to it's that broken window effect we have to start enforcing you

00:25:56.700 know the jaywalking the broken windows the dirty streets but look at toronto now in the past eight

00:26:02.540 years garbage all over the streets you know we've got people saying defund the police we've got uh

00:26:10.780 all kinds of things i mean councils they're spending time worrying about whether a cat should be on a leash

00:26:16.860 it's absolutely appalling to see you know these politicians talking about things that are are

00:26:26.620 irrelevant and we're letting people camp out in in parks okay they're homeless i feel terrible we have

00:26:33.100 to we have to address those issues but there's bylaws and we have to address the bylaws the bylaws are not

00:26:39.420 being addressed so you know you're getting people getting away with with minor crimes and then they

00:26:48.940 escalate to bigger crimes so that broken window effect is i i agree 100 with that that we have to start

00:26:57.420 getting the police to enforce i don't care if it's uh you know fail to signal and fail to stop at

00:27:05.580 stop whatever it may be the littlest things have to start being looked into and enforced otherwise

00:27:12.700 look what's happening it it's it's it's plain as day what's happening and we have to stop that

00:27:19.500 and blake how would you describe the city of toronto under john torrey's leadership you're quite right

00:27:25.260 there are so many problems serious problems in this city that once upon a time uh was described as new

00:27:32.780 york is run by the swiss believe me those days are over and like you said what is mayor tory and

00:27:39.020 council obsessed over um a bylaw to put cats on leashes um officers police officers going into high

00:27:47.180 park to issue speeding tickets to bicyclists um renaming dundas street and a slew of other streets

00:27:54.780 because some woke warriors find these monikers uh somehow triggering and offensive i mean how is it

00:28:01.980 that the mayor and these counselors don't have their eye on the ball blake when it comes to the

00:28:08.780 real big issues that are truly making life miserable for people that live in this city you know i i and i've

00:28:16.540 mentioned this on different uh media stations and and i will again blake acton is a taxpayer he's not

00:28:24.140 a politician i'm not afraid of offending somebody if if need be and that's the problem we're so

00:28:30.060 politically correct right now that we're going in a different direction and the people of toronto that

00:28:36.140 i'm speaking to are fed up with it and it has to stop i mean worrying about when a cat should be on a

00:28:42.860 leash whether the name dundas street is offensive to some people or not okay maybe dundas street it

00:28:49.820 was it was a bad name back in the day and it was offensive get over it let's go do we have to go

00:28:56.620 through every street in toronto to find out if it's offensive and spend i think they've got it right now

00:29:02.540 it's seven million dollars in order to change that all the names and addresses and all absolute if blake

00:29:09.740 acton is elected there's going to be real change in toronto and i'm not afraid of challenge and i will

00:29:15.420 not back down from any counselor or anybody that does not want to make toronto a safer cleaner place

00:29:23.500 for the majority of the people if not all the people and blake tell me indeed when you go door

00:29:29.500 knocking and you meet the citizens of toronto what is it that they're saying to you what what are their

00:29:35.420 concerns what what do they think about the current regime uh running the city of toronto right now

00:29:42.540 i have never had i i've been overwhelmed with the amount of people that say i yeah the words are the

00:29:51.500 exact words and i'll quote them i hate our mayor i can't wait i hope you win this election blake

00:29:58.380 action because our city is just gone down the drain so i'm overwhelmed with the support and you know

00:30:07.100 as of right now we've got over 150 volunteers volunteering i i i i'm speechless i could not

00:30:14.780 believe there's so many people like and i thought it was just me i thought you know what i've lived in

00:30:19.660 the city all my life and i see it it's like a stock that's going down and it continues to go down

00:30:25.420 so he has to go john torrey cannot be the mayor on october the 24th he cannot be elected because if he

00:30:33.100 is i will bet my bottom dollar prime will continue to increase and the streets are getting filthier and

00:30:42.940 filthier we'll see more homeless all over the place we have to we have to deal with these issues we can't

00:30:48.860 dance around them and and and as of now all i hear is john torrey has great lip service that's

00:30:55.980 all he does is talk talk talk he's a great lawyer he must be a great lawyer because all he does is talk

00:31:00.940 and he doesn't act and so we can't have that anymore all i see is uh john torrey cutting cakes

00:31:08.700 and uh at happy festivals well those times are over let's fix our problems people are saying if if

00:31:19.500 like active if you're not elected or someone's not like other than john torrey i'm moving out and i'm

00:31:24.780 going to sell my home i'm going to sell my fondo i'm going to move i'll commute or i'll do other things

00:31:30.140 so we'll have ghost town if we're not careful yeah i mean uh we're i guess we're not quite chicago

00:31:37.500 yet uh but tell me blake when it comes to your platform in addition to getting tougher on crime

00:31:44.060 in addition to pledging to clean up the city to take down the various tent cities that you find in so 1.00

00:31:51.900 many parks um what other things are you promising uh the citizens of toronto well we need an audit we want

00:31:59.900 to like if i were to ask anybody and i do i ask you know where the money's going like we need an

00:32:05.500 audit of what's happening where the money's being spent and you know running in politics i i would

00:32:12.140 never have thought i'd run for mayor and for me to run for mayor is it's got to be bad in toronto because

00:32:17.500 uh you know we want to i think that they wrote an article and one paper said there's 12 million dollars

00:32:24.700 that went missing at one of the uh shelters so it seems like there's no control of where the money's

00:32:31.740 being thrown away and we have to have an audit we have to address the bike lanes as well the uh the

00:32:38.060 bike lanes in toronto at first it was supposed to be a pilot project now they're all over the place

00:32:42.140 it's just it's a free-for-all i'm not against bike lanes but i'm i i think we need more data and we need

00:32:48.380 to know where to strategically put them and right now they're in places that are creating gridlock and

00:32:56.060 what what's happening now is you're getting cyclists angry at cars and cars angry at cyclists so they're

00:33:02.700 not working in harmony and we have to get that back so i will propose a proper uh strategy in order to

00:33:10.860 accommodate bike lanes in certain areas of the city and encourage the vehicles to run flow uh

00:33:18.140 smooth as they used to be you know what blake if i was still living in the city that alone would make

00:33:23.660 me vote for you and get and guess what i'm a cyclist as i often quip uh the reason why i'm fat as opposed

00:33:29.820 to circus fat is my cycling uh but over the last two years we saw mayor john tory um i think he

00:33:37.660 eradicated something like 50 kilometers of downtown toronto streets uh street lanes that is and made

00:33:43.900 them into bike lanes you're absolutely right the end result is gridlock but i guess it doesn't affect

00:33:49.820 john tory he lives within walking distance of city hall assuming he's not zooming in uh his contribution

00:33:57.420 so um yeah there are so many uh things plaguing this city and i i really do think we need a common sense

00:34:04.780 individual like yourself uh to clean house just to go full circle um again i'm looking at this

00:34:12.700 horrible crime that was committed on monday double homicide a mechanic a police officer minding their

00:34:19.260 own business shot for apparently no reason at all do you think like that this horrific incident will

00:34:27.420 bring about some change in terms of courts getting tougher with who they're letting out with um parole

00:34:34.620 board members maybe not being so reckless when they roll the roll the dice to allow a very

00:34:41.580 violent offender to walk the streets or sadly are we in for just more of the same well let's hope not

00:34:49.180 i mean it's as i mentioned earlier that um you know this is going to continue these senseless murders and

00:34:57.260 crimes are going to continue until the uh the you know it's it's nobody wants to hear it but it is what it is

00:35:09.260 there's this radical left-wing woke society that seems to be sort of uh it's it's like a cancer they're just

00:35:16.860 spreading all throughout and i'm tired of it i'm tired of apologizing for wanting to have a safe

00:35:23.340 clean city and i'm not going to apologize for saying that we we have to get tougher on criminals and

00:35:30.380 people just don't realize there are people in this world that we live in that have no intentions of

00:35:38.300 getting a job and uh and living a a lawful lifestyle there are people out there that are looking for their

00:35:49.020 next victim and have to lock them up we have to crack down on them we have to get back to the

00:35:57.100 carding the police are handcuffed without tools in order to protect the public so if i'm elected as

00:36:04.220 mayor i believe public safety is number one and whatever tools we can give the police in order to

00:36:12.460 keep the citizens safe of toronto i'm in favor of and when i mean the statistics show it when carting

00:36:22.220 was stopped and when the tavis program had stopped crime went up yeah well why did why was that stopped

00:36:29.500 because this radical left wing said oh no no no it's not fair it's and you know it's an intrusion

00:36:35.900 into people's uh rights on you can't be questioned and you know uh we can't have police officers uh

00:36:43.180 you know interfering in certain areas well i'm sorry when it comes to public safety yes we can we have

00:36:50.060 to protect the citizens at all costs we can't just protect as this the people of toronto at certain

00:36:58.540 levels so that we can all argue over what's uh what's too much information and what's not enough

00:37:05.900 right now it's quite obvious well blake i couldn't agree with you more one last question if our viewers

00:37:11.340 want to find out more information about you and your platform where do they go sir they go to vote

00:37:17.660 actin.com okay there you have it vote actin.com blake thank you so much for your time uh the common

00:37:25.820 sense uh that you're uttering is so refreshing good luck on your quest for mayor i want to thank you

00:37:33.340 very much for reaching out as i i mentioned uh earlier that you know i was on uh i've been interviewed

00:37:39.340 a few times by other uh media stations not very many and they've been very very reluctant to uh to

00:37:47.820 interview any other canon that you know it's upsetting that the public need to know who else is

00:37:54.460 out there to run for this position and right now it's just tory tory tory and people they're they're

00:38:03.260 being angered actually so it's not even working for him because they're angry that the media not

00:38:09.740 yourselves but the other mainstream media are uh are not giving uh the public a a fair uh shake on who

00:38:18.540 else is running well thank you the the legacy media failing to do their job yet again knock me down with

00:38:26.700 a feather uh my mother used to watch certain uh media rolling in her grave if she knew just how they're

00:38:35.820 operating in today's day and age the you know the media is supposed to be non-biased and that's what

00:38:41.660 i like about you people you're non-biased you tell the truth and you you give the public what they need

00:38:47.980 to hear there's other media not so much and and shame on them well there you go blake thank you so much

00:38:54.860 for the kind words and good luck on the campaign trail my friend once again thank you for having me

00:39:11.900 well folks lots of response to ezra events monologue regarding pierre polyeb's resounding

00:39:17.340 victory last saturday at the conservative party of canada leadership convention randy 1743

00:39:24.780 writes canada under trudeau is anything but fair safe and free it's more like his wet dream about

00:39:33.500 the chinese way of governing yeah and isn't it so funny my friend that it is trudeau and his useful 0.99

00:39:41.340 idiots in the mainstream media that are demonizing pierre polyev calling him a fascist because he wants to 0.98

00:39:49.500 well basically make canada great again unbelievable benny isremski writes pierre makes me feel proud to 1.00

00:39:57.500 be a canadian again let's get rid of that evil deranged dictator trudeau well you know i'm not so sure

00:40:04.780 trudeau is a dictator yet but hey give him time he's already got censorship bills that he wants to ramrod 0.92

00:40:12.300 through we saw his treatment of the freedom convoys we saw how he deals with unfriendly press

00:40:19.980 that asks impolite questions so yeah as far as i'm concerned folks the sooner an election is called

00:40:28.220 the better our country deserves better than prime minister blackface well folks thank you so much for 1.00

00:40:36.220 tuning in to the tonight's edition of the ezreal event show my beloved colleague sheila gunreed she'll 0.93

00:40:42.620 be guest hosting for ezra tomorrow in the meantime as always stay sane for rebel news i'm tamera

00:40:50.460 ugolini and it appears that the case for natural immunity being superior reigns in the latest publication

00:40:57.660 by the new england journal of medicine and it also looks like the injections may hinder that process

00:41:05.020 despite the reassurance from politicians and supposed health experts that they were for your

00:41:10.060 own good in this report i'm going to highlight some of the findings from that study again published

00:41:16.780 in the new england journal of medicine but i'm also going to show you just how coordinated and orchestrated

00:41:24.940 the attack the war really on natural immunity was and has been for the better part of two years

00:41:33.420 the study is titled effects of vaccination and previous infection on omicron infections in children

00:41:41.980 surprisingly didn't detail exactly what it found the study itself was conducted on a large cohort of

00:41:49.180 children over a six-month period when the omicron variant was dominant the authors observed

00:41:54.700 and reported on the protection conferred by pfizer's biotech bnt162b2 vaccine and by previous

00:42:02.220 SARS-CoV-2 infection against reinfection and coronavirus disease 2019 related hospitalization

00:42:09.420 and death in children 5 to 11 years of age let's run through the numbers that they used the study looked

00:42:16.060 at a total of 887 193 children of that there were 193 346 SARS-CoV-2 infections that occurred between

00:42:28.380 march 11th 2020 and june 3rd 2022 of the infected children there were 309 known to be hospitalized and

00:42:37.820 seven were known to have died approximately 30 of the children included a total of 273 157 participants

00:42:47.020 had received at least one dose of the pfizer injections between november 1st 2021 and june 3rd 2022

00:42:55.660 the authors only detail this as their finding and i quote the rapid decline in protection against

00:43:00.940 omicron infection that was conferred by vaccination and previous infection provides support for booster

00:43:07.580 vaccination but the charts that they themselves show paint a much different picture let's dig in

00:43:14.220 chart a shows the children who are vaccinated beginning in november so the green line depicts

00:43:19.180 those vaccinated in november and the blue were those vaccinated in december and so on both the green

00:43:24.220 and blue lines go into negative space within five months of the first injection chart b represents

00:43:31.580 vaccinated children who have not been previously infected so that's the blue line and those who had

00:43:37.420 been previously infected the red line again these lines go into the negative on a steep decline within

00:43:43.500 five months post vaccination chart c and d is where it gets interesting chart d shows the effectiveness of

00:43:50.780 natural immunity from previous infection among the vaccinated the blue line denotes infection with

00:43:57.100 the delta variant it still hits into the negative within seven months post vaccination it's assumed that

00:44:03.900 the red line would continue on a similar path of decline too now let's look at chart c which measured

00:44:09.900 the effectiveness of previous infection against reinfection among unvaccinated children immunity wanes over

00:44:16.620 time but much more gradually the blue line again is delta and even after eight months it still hovers

00:44:22.620 above 50 percent and look at that green line natural immunity is still well in positive territory after 16

00:44:30.860 months why do the vaccinated cohorts have protection that goes negative even if they have natural immunity too

00:44:38.140 the mainstream media and our supposed experts told us that hybrid immunity or just that gained from

00:44:45.500 vaccination alone was far superior to natural immunity look at for instance perpetual victim reporter rachel

00:44:53.180 gilmore she may have gotten her facts wrong in her september 2021 headline piece titled fact check

00:45:01.020 no natural immunity doesn't replace vaccination experts say she inserts a clip of dina hinshaw alberta's 1.00

00:45:08.860 chief medical officer of health and here is what she had to say reports began circulating yesterday

00:45:15.740 of an event where several people are said to have gathered in a deliberate attempt to acquire

00:45:21.100 covet 19 in order to develop post-infection immunity what is important to know is that anyone

00:45:28.060 contemplating this kind of activity should know that this consequence severe illness and transmitting to

00:45:35.500 others who may become severely ill or even die is an absolutely likely outcome if anyone wants to get

00:45:43.500 protection from infection vaccines are free highly effective and easily available the safest and

00:45:51.580 best way to reach herd immunity for albertans is to be vaccinated plain and simple it was a reoccurring

00:45:58.060 theme in the mainstream media last fall as they amplified the cdc's findings here cdc studies suggest

00:46:05.180 getting the vaccine will offer you much stronger immunity to covid than natural immunity meaning even if you

00:46:11.180 previously had the virus the vaccine will still offer better protection well vicky researchers looked

00:46:16.140 at data from nearly 200 hospitals across the country to make this conclusion local doctors saying this

00:46:21.580 study is good information for vaccine holdouts or people looking to gain immunity by simply getting

00:46:26.940 sick with covid19 the latter experts say is very risky because it can lead to ending up in the hospital or

00:46:33.420 worse death even in spite of data from israel in august of 2021 that found natural immunity to be again

00:46:41.660 superior to vaccine induced otherwise known as artificial immunity the novel injection swindlers city news

00:46:49.180 worked hard to debunk that one natural immunity has been a hot topic of conversation since researchers in

00:46:56.060 israel released a study in august comparing those who were vaccinated and those who had recovered from covid

00:47:02.540 the researchers of the study concluded that natural immunity post covid gave longer lasting and stronger

00:47:09.260 protection against infection symptomatic disease and hospitalization but a mayo clinic doctor and

00:47:15.980 expert in plasma and antibodies which fight against viruses like covid disagrees as he explains it

00:47:23.580 when someone is exposed for the first time to either an infection or a vaccine your body's immune system

00:47:29.900 responds quickly but it doesn't last therefore a second vaccination is needed to create long-term

00:47:36.460 immunity up until now natural immunity was always known to be superior than anything else fauci knew it

00:47:42.940 then but perhaps he needs this reminder but she's had the flu for 14 days should she get a flu shot well no

00:47:49.100 if she got the flu for 14 days she's as protected as anybody can be because the best vaccination is to get

00:47:54.380 infected yourself and if she really if she really has the flu if she really has the flu she definitely

00:48:02.460 doesn't need a flu vaccine if she really has the flu she should not get it again no she doesn't need it

00:48:08.060 because it's the best it's the most potent vaccination is getting infected yourself

00:48:15.500 this is an ongoing question and you know we've had ever-evolving opinions from you dr fauci

00:48:20.780 currently antibody surveys show that 80 percent of children approximately 80 percent of children have

00:48:27.420 had covid and yet there are no guidelines coming from you or anybody in the government to take into

00:48:32.620 account their naturally acquired immunity you seem quite certain of yourself in 2004 but in 2022 there's

00:48:40.540 a lot less certainty and the study confirms just that not only does it confirm the strength of natural

00:48:47.260 immunity it also paints a very alarming picture not only do these injections become negatively effective

00:48:55.340 after a few short months but they may very well destroy the protection that would have otherwise been

00:49:02.540 garnered by natural immunity for rebel news i'm tamera ugolini
