Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ The consequences of cancel culture： A conversation with Christine Anderson

00:00:00.000 Hello, my Rebels. Very special interview with Christine Anderson. You might remember that name.

00:00:03.840 She's the German member of the European Parliament who visited Canada to meet with some conservative

00:00:08.600 MPs and was condemned. She was condemned as vile and not welcome in Canada by Pierre Polyev's 1.00

00:00:15.320 office. Of course, the liberal media piled on too. Well, we'll set the record straight. I think you'll

00:00:20.680 find this an interesting interview, but I'd encourage you to become a video subscriber,

00:00:56.320 Tonight, a feature interview with Christine Anderson, the member of the European Parliament

00:01:03.860 condemned by Pierre Polyev, as well as Justin Trudeau. This is the Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:09.060 Shame on you, you censorious bug.

00:01:15.380 A few months ago, there was a shocking cancel culture moment, an attack on conservative MPs.

00:01:31.720 But the attack didn't come just from the left-wing media. It came from the conservative leader's

00:01:37.860 office too. Pierre Polyev's staff put out a press release denouncing his own MPs, including

00:01:44.480 Leslyn Lewis, for meeting with a scandalous woman from Germany, a member of the European 1.00

00:01:50.580 Parliament named Christine Anderson. The statement from Polyev's office, which was not signed by

00:01:56.260 himself but put out by his office, said that she was vile and that her views had no place

00:02:02.660 in Canada, that indeed she herself was not even welcome in this country. It was shocking.

00:02:08.880 The language itself closely tracked the cancel culture language, typically used by Justin Trudeau,

00:02:16.380 Jagmeet Singh, or the regime media. Leslyn Lewis and the other MPs are obedient, as I suppose you have

00:02:24.080 to be when you're in a political team and they quickly disassociated themselves. But who is Christine

00:02:31.040 Anderson? What did she do? And why did the conservative party leader, or at least his staff,

00:02:37.100 sound like a woke college junior engaging in a tantrum after being triggered? Well, as it so

00:02:46.640 happens, Christine Anderson is back in Canada and she'll be with me for the next half hour talking

00:02:51.360 about these and other things. Christine Anderson, welcome back to Canada. Thank you for having me

00:02:57.200 back. Well, it's a pleasure and I bumped into you at an event and we both remarked that it's

00:03:04.100 actually interesting that you were not kept out given the language used. I think most of the

00:03:11.200 attacks on you were actually, the sharpest attack was by the conservative party. I think that the

00:03:17.200 liberals did chime in. But you are a member of the European Union. You are an elected official from

00:03:23.840 Germany. It would actually be a diplomatic incident if you were kept out, wouldn't it be?

00:03:28.100 Yeah, I think so. And I think that's why they opted not to actually do keep me out. And truth

00:03:36.300 be told, I mean, what do they really bring against me? You know, it's like all kind of slander and

00:03:42.040 labeling me with names and, you know, any kind of ism you can think they have in the book. So it's like,

00:03:48.980 but that just goes to show how very desperate they are. They have to resort to measures like that,

00:03:54.580 you know, just slandering people left and right. I mean, they don't know the first thing about me.

00:04:00.460 They don't know what I've done. They don't know where I've been and what I actually fight for and

00:04:06.500 stand for. They just see that I'm questioning the politically desired narrative, that I'm calling

00:04:15.100 out the globalitarian elites on their despicable agenda they're trying to push on people. And that's

00:04:23.220 what they're actually opposed to. So, but they couldn't really very well tell the people, well,

00:04:30.600 we don't want her talking because she's telling the truth and she's exposing, is exposing a lot of

00:04:36.180 things. So they of course have to slander me. So in the hopes that people will actually fall for it

00:04:43.660 and won't even listen to what I have to say since I'm such a vile person. Right. But I guess it didn't

00:04:51.040 work. Did it now? Well, and I want to remind our viewers because I've interviewed you a few times

00:04:57.260 when you were in either Brussels where the European Parliament is or from Germany. And I just want to

00:05:03.020 remind our viewers how we first came to know you. You were standing up for Canadian civil liberties during

00:05:09.420 the trucker convoy. Here, let's just play a clip of one of your passionate speeches that got a lot of

00:05:14.540 attention over here. And I can understand why Justin Trudeau hates you, but it was more of a surprise

00:05:20.620 that Pierre Pauline would condemn. Here, let's take a look. Based on article 195,

00:05:26.700 that it would have been more appropriate for Mr. Trudeau, prime minister of Canada,

00:05:30.860 to address this house according to article 144, an article which was specifically designed

00:05:37.820 to debate violations of human rights, democracy, and the rule of law, which is clearly the case

00:05:44.220 with Mr. Trudeau. Then again, a prime minister who openly admires the Chinese basic dictatorship,

00:05:51.660 who tramples on fundamental rights by persecuting and criminalizing his own citizens as terrorists,

00:05:57.980 just because they dared to stand up to his perverted concept of democracy,

00:06:03.020 should not be allowed to speak in this house at all. Mr. Trudeau, you are a disgrace for any

00:06:09.900 democracy. Please spare us your presence. Thank you. I thought that was very stirring,

00:06:15.820 and so I'm not surprised that you came to Canada and were warmly welcomed by those conservative MPs.

00:06:20.540 I know, for example, Leslyn Lewis herself was one of the first conservative MPs to go out and meet with

00:06:25.660 the truckers. So I'm sure she found common cause with you. I know Leslyn Lewis a little bit,

00:06:30.460 and I know she's obviously not a racist. She's a woman of color herself. I know she's very

00:06:36.220 thoughtful and nuanced. The idea that she would be hosting a meeting with a hater or a bigot is

00:06:43.980 unthinkable. Tell me, how did you come to go to that meeting with Leslyn Lewis and the other

00:06:50.380 conservative MPs? Did they reach out to you? Did you reach out to them? I mean, it's common for different

00:06:55.340 elected officials to mix and mingle, either at formal events or through parliamentary

00:06:59.740 associations or exchanges. How did you come to that meeting in Ottawa? Well, the tour in Canada

00:07:06.380 was planned for me, and the staff that was taking care of this, dealing with all of this,

00:07:12.220 they actually set up that meeting. And I was thrilled to meet fellow parliamentarians

00:07:17.740 of Canada. And I would love to say we had an extremely lovely time, you know, talking about all kinds of

00:07:27.180 things. And at no point was any of the three MPs, you know, disgusted at what I said. On the contrary,

00:07:38.460 you know, we were actually agreeing on a lot of things. And yeah, so I was a little surprised then

00:07:47.180 the next day, you know, that statement was put out. But I'm kind of used to that by now. I mean,

00:07:53.740 in Germany, it's probably worse than here in Canada, especially being a member of the party that I'm a

00:08:00.220 member of the AFD. So I didn't pay too much mind, you know, it was like, yeah, well, here we go again.

00:08:07.260 And yeah, but like I said, it just goes to show how desperate they are, you know, they desperately

00:08:14.540 need to shut me down or shut my party down. Because we are, yeah, we are, we are exposing them.

00:08:23.580 You know, we'll talk in a minute more about the party, the AFD, which stands for alternative for

00:08:28.780 Deutschland or alternative for Germany. I want to talk about you in particular, because I think what

00:08:35.180 happened is there's a liberal war room dirty trickster named Warren Kinsella, who wrote a

00:08:43.420 series of factual stretches or half truths about the AFD, he couldn't find a single thing that you had

00:08:51.180 allegedly said or done. So he, he was such a reach, it was actually really embarrassing that the Toronto

00:08:56.380 Sun newspaper published it. And, and then that was jumped like it was, it was a lie planted by a

00:09:03.900 liberal party operative that was then picked up by the conservative party and used against

00:09:09.500 conservative MPs. It was so embarrassing, the amateur hour in the conservatives. But here's one thing that

00:09:15.580 I've mentioned to our viewers, and I'd like you to confirm it. Here in Canada, Justin Trudeau and his

00:09:21.740 staff sometimes calls his political enemies Nazis. I mean, I'm Jewish myself, but Gerald Butts,

00:09:28.780 Justin Trudeau's senior advisor, called me a Nazi, which is a disgrace that he would say so. It's a form

00:09:33.980 of anti-Semitism actually, I think, to call a Jew a Nazi. But it's used as a weapon. It's used as an insult.

00:09:41.260 In Germany itself, and correct me if I'm wrong, because I, I've done some research, but you would know,

00:09:48.620 being a Nazi, supporting Nazism, flying the swastika, promoting the Nazi philosophy, it's actually 0.91

00:09:57.100 a crime. Yes, it is. Is that correct? Yes, it is. So, and my point for mentioning that is,

00:10:03.980 the one thing we know about you is that you could not be a Nazi. Exactly. You could be a hundred other

00:10:08.380 things. Exactly. But you couldn't be a Nazi because a Nazi couldn't be elected. Nazi would be in jail in 0.72

00:10:12.460 Germany. Right. Right. It's also, I mean, to trivialize the Holocaust, you know, or call it

00:10:19.900 question or question anything pertaining to the Holocaust or, you know, denying it or whatever.

00:10:27.660 That is actually, yes, it is punishable by law. It is a crime. And flying the swastika, as you said,

00:10:34.300 you know, that's an absolute no go. So in fact, but they're still labeling people as Nazis, you know,

00:10:44.540 and that is very, very sharp sword, if you want, if you will. So they're using it as a weapon,

00:10:51.420 as you say. The thing is just this, if I'm being labeled a Nazi, you know, and let's say young people

00:10:58.780 look at me, you know, not knowing anything about me. And they go, okay, she is a Nazi. Well, 0.58

00:11:07.020 if she is a Nazi, to what conclusion, what conclusion will they have to arrive at? That if that is a Nazi, 0.61

00:11:14.700 well, maybe they weren't all that bad after all. That is what the trivialization of Nazi Germany and 0.59

00:11:21.100 Nazis is all about. Yeah. And Trudeau would say a lot. And yeah, if you label people left and right

00:11:26.940 as Nazis, that's how you trivialize the horrific and despicable atrocities, the true Nazis inflicted

00:11:36.380 upon people. I think that's a tactic by the Trudeaus of this world to call everyone a Nazi. And it, 0.87

00:11:41.820 and it diminishes the Nazi. It's like, it's like a knife that's overused to become dull.

00:11:46.620 It's like the left, they have been very successful. And I mean, Nazis, it's abbreviation for national

00:11:54.860 socialists. Yeah. Yeah. We're speaking about socialists here, but they've been very successful

00:12:02.300 in reframing national socialism into right-wing extremists. Isn't that a great point? Exactly.

00:12:10.780 So, I mean, but you can, you can look whether it was Nazi Germany, whether it was communism,

00:12:17.260 Soviet Union, China, these are all totalitarian regimes, point blank. And that's the thing, you know,

00:12:27.260 but like I said, um, and what is really disturbing is, um, a lot of people nowadays, they think,

00:12:35.260 or they scream loudest never again. And, you know, fight the beginnings and all of this, they wouldn't

00:12:43.180 recognize the beginnings of it jumped up and bit them in their faces. They have no clue. So if you do not

00:12:50.060 look at how was it possible, what steps were taken, how was it implemented, how will you be able to

00:12:58.460 fight it off when it happens again? So, but even doing that, you know, if I were to point out, well,

00:13:06.780 that's how it started back then, you know, I'm being accused of trivializing the Holocaust.

00:13:13.180 You know, there were a lot of things during the lockdowns and the pandemics that were authoritarian,

00:13:17.660 the division of people, the putting people into a kind of ghetto if they were unvaccinated,

00:13:23.500 demonizing minorities. Exactly. Scapegoating them, whatever. Using medical doctors to,

00:13:29.340 to push politics. A lot of these things were actually the tools the Nazis used. And to even 0.62

00:13:35.660 mention that was to, they would call you anti-Semitic if you pointed out, well, the Nuremberg

00:13:42.220 trials, the Nazi doctor trials were about never imposing medicine on people without their informed

00:13:49.500 consent. So it's quite funny that the people who throw the word Nazi around were actually turning

00:13:55.180 a blind eye to Nazi style tactics that were used during the lockdowns. Exactly. And the thing is just

00:14:00.620 this, I mean, Nazi Germany did not start out by rounding up people and transporting them off to

00:14:05.980 camps. That was the end game, the end play. It started with little incremental steps. So first,

00:14:13.500 Jews were not allowed to sit on certain benches anymore. Well, what's the big deal? They can sit

00:14:18.140 on other benches, right? You know, this rationalizing of these steps, then they weren't allowed to own pets

00:14:23.500 anymore. Well, you don't need a pet to, you know, to get along. What's the big deal? So this is what we have

00:14:29.180 been seeing in the last three years. People kept rationalizing these utterly ridiculous measures and

00:14:36.140 infringements on fundamental rights. You know, well, it's not all that bad, right? Yeah, we can do this

00:14:42.060 for four, it's only for four weeks, only for two months, whatever. This constant rationalizing, you know,

00:14:48.700 but it's little steps, one at a time. You get people used to a certain situation and then, you know, you

00:14:55.020 proceed and you proceed. And before you know it, yeah, guess what? You find yourself in a fully

00:15:01.340 blown totalitarian regime. And you might not have even noticed because people go along. That's,

00:15:07.820 uh, yeah, that, that's how it comes about. That's how it works. And if you don't have your guards up,

00:15:14.300 and if you don't do, don't recognize those mechanisms and those signs, then you have no defense

00:15:21.500 against it. You know, a lot of the attacks against you were actually attacks against AFD or Alternative

00:15:26.780 for Deutschland, your party. Um, I've been in Germany and I met some AFD people. The party's been around

00:15:32.220 for about a decade or a little bit more, I think. Ten years this year. And, um, they gave about 10%

00:15:38.060 of the, the German parliament, if I'm not mistaken. So that's proportionately more than our NDP party or our

00:15:45.180 block cable. Those are just parties our viewers would know. So you're not the dominant party,

00:15:51.100 but you're a, you would be a bigger player in the coalitions there than the NDP is here.

00:15:57.660 You have about 300 officials and various, you know, local or state. So, you know, 300 elected

00:16:04.780 officials, 10% of the parliament. It's not a, it's not a dominant party, but it's, it's a fairly

00:16:12.860 substantial party that's been around. Yes. Yes. I don't think Canadians, or at least, I mean, 0.99

00:16:17.500 I don't think Canadians know anything about the AFD, but the critics who were smearing it as some

00:16:21.900 extremist crazy thing, I think they just simply don't know. Uh, well, it's actually kind of

00:16:27.420 interesting. So my party really started out, founded in 2013, uh, Euro critics and EU critics,

00:16:35.340 you know, that got us labeled as enemies of Europe. Yeah. We're not enemies of Europe. I love Europe. My

00:16:43.900 party loves Europe. The EU is the enemy of Europe because they level it all. They want us all to be,

00:16:52.620 look at a lot of people that actually envy us, you know, to be Europeans. We live on this rather small

00:16:59.260 continent with so many languages, so many cultures and it's a rich history, you know, in each and every

00:17:06.860 country in Europe. And, uh, what they're doing, they want us to be all the same somehow, you know,

00:17:15.660 get rid of our national identity, of our cultural identity, uh, for the greater good, of course,

00:17:20.700 you know, which is this, the Europe they dream of. But, um, the EU, it is not an EU for the people by the

00:17:29.500 people. It is actually a Europe for the globalitarian elites by the globalitarian elites. That, that's the

00:17:38.620 thing. So, um, And I think, you know, it's funny, I was trying to think of a Canadian analogy to your

00:17:43.820 party. The People's Party of Canada is sort of there, although they don't have any seats. So the

00:17:48.700 critics of open borders immigration, they're critics of the world economic form and globalism.

00:17:53.420 Exactly. They're a kind of people's party. And I think that when I was looking at the

00:17:58.140 criticisms of the AFG that were thrown against you, I think that was it. They were upset that

00:18:02.940 you weren't in favor of mass immigration and that you were upset against, you were upset that you were

00:18:09.100 strong for the separation of mosque and state. I think a lot of people support those views here 0.80

00:18:14.780 in Canada too, even if our political class, maybe that's the thing. People in Germany, there is a party

00:18:21.900 that has 10% of the seats that says those things in Canada. None of the main parties even talk about

00:18:28.460 open borders immigration or the separation of mosque and state. They just don't talk about it.

00:18:32.380 I know. But you know what, looking at all these things, there is a common denominator in all the

00:18:37.260 countries where parties like my party or the CCP is coming about. The common denominator is we do not

00:18:48.140 buy into the narrative. We expose the narrative, we expose the agenda, which their agenda has nothing to

00:18:56.460 do with freedom, democracy, and the rule of law. On the contrary, it's about disenfranchising people,

00:19:03.020 removing the democratic process further and further away from the people. They do not want political

00:19:09.740 accountability anymore. That's really pain in the neck to them, you know, because they cannot just do

00:19:14.860 whatever the heck they want to do. So if you look at these countries or these parties in these various

00:19:21.980 countries, they're all facing the exact same thing. They're being vilified. They're being called Nazis.

00:19:28.140 They're being called extremists, transphobes, xenophobes, the whole shebang. And plus you have all this

00:19:34.220 framing going on, you know. Up until what, a few years ago, it was absolutely normal that a country

00:19:42.780 would protect its national borders. What's the point of a national border is so the people inside 1.00

00:19:52.540 can live freely and be safe at the same time. But once you tear down these national borders,

00:20:00.700 no longer control them and just anyone can walks in, you know, then you will have to erect all kinds of

00:20:06.220 borders within that country. What we are seeing in Germany, you know, they're fencing off the Christmas

00:20:11.900 markets now because some idiots think they can get on a truck and just, you know, smash up the people 0.63

00:20:17.980 for no reason whatsoever, you know. So these are things that are happening. And a national border,

00:20:26.220 in essence, is nothing more than your locked door at your home. You wouldn't leave it unlocked and let

00:20:32.860 anyone walk in, right? Yeah. Why should it be different with a national border? But the framing

00:20:37.660 now is borders kill. You understand? So, and if you repeat it often enough, you know.

00:20:45.740 Borders kill, that's the slogan out there? Yeah, yeah. Borders kill.

00:20:48.700 I've never heard that. It's ridiculous. In Germany, it's like, yeah, borders kill.

00:20:53.180 The left, they want to tear them all down, you know, one, no borders, no nations kind of thing.

00:20:59.100 Yeah. Borders kill. That's true. That would be excited too. I'm surprised he hasn't started to

00:21:03.020 use that. I know. But no one in their right mind would think that like a fence around a kindergarten

00:21:10.300 would kill. Yeah. Yeah. You know, it's ridiculous. Yeah. You know, one of the things that bothered me

00:21:15.660 was that some of the Jewish community groups in Canada lashed out at you with no facts. And they were

00:21:22.140 just again falling into the knee-jerk, smear people. And my understanding of the AFD, and I want to check

00:21:30.620 with you, is that if anything, it's a pro-Israel party. And it's an anti-anti-Semitic party. That's

00:21:39.420 what I think. Can you clarify? Is that the case? That is absolutely the case. It absolutely is the case.

00:21:45.340 The thing is this. They need to label us anti-Semites to justify them lashing out at us.

00:21:55.580 They cannot just say, well, we kind of hate that party because they're exposing us liars. They can't

00:22:01.340 say that. So they need to come up with other reasons, you know? So it's like, take your pick,

00:22:06.540 you know, transphobic, xenophobe, enemies of Europe, anti-Sem... The whole shebang, they're pulling this,

00:22:13.180 you know? And if you keep people, you know, in a hamster wheel, you know, having to work like,

00:22:18.700 what, two, three jobs now to make ends meet. And now with inflation, it's even worse. In Germany,

00:22:24.220 we opted to cut down our power supply altogether by shutting down all the nuclear power plants,

00:22:29.660 right? I mean, idiocy, right? So a lot of people really don't know how to make ends meet anymore.

00:22:35.660 But I mean, you cannot vote for AFD, right? Because they're just that and the other. That's kind of like

00:22:42.140 how it works. Yeah. You know, it really bothered me when the Jewish community groups piled on, 1.00

00:22:46.780 because the one, I mean, I've talked to you a few times, I've interviewed you, I've followed you,

00:22:50.700 and I feel like I know you as well as I know any foreign politician. But the one thing I do know

00:22:56.860 is that you could not be in public life. And the AFD would not have 300 elected officials and 10 years

00:23:05.340 track record if the, if the anti-Semitic smear was true. But that's the one thing we know about

00:23:12.300 Germany is they wouldn't allow that because it's a crime. Exactly. But I mean, I'm embarrassed

00:23:17.740 by how you were treated. I mean, it's not just... Oh, don't be. Don't be.

00:23:21.580 But let me ask you this. I mean, it was shocking to see Pierre Pauly of the leader of the conservative

00:23:25.660 party discipline less than Lewis, who's a real important part of the coalition and the other MPs too.

00:23:31.100 Right. Let me ask you, and without giving away confidences, I don't want you to get anyone in

00:23:35.100 trouble. But did any of the MPs or the staff who met with you, did they apologize for this? Did they

00:23:42.620 say, I'm sorry, we just have to go along with this because our party leader is cracking the whip?

00:23:47.180 Like, did any of them acknowledge that what was being said and done to you was unfair and a pack of

00:23:53.740 lies? Or did they just go silent? One of them did. One of them did which? Yes.

00:23:59.260 One of them apologized or reached out, you see? Yes.

00:24:01.900 All right. I won't ask who, you know, I'm curious. And I won't say, but...

00:24:05.340 And what did this person say, roughly? Well, that person was just a surprise that,

00:24:11.980 you know, what all the things that they, you know, went down were going on.

00:24:18.140 That person acknowledged that we did have a good time and it was very interesting having,

00:24:22.140 you know, discussions and, uh, yeah. So, uh, but you know what, the thing is this, um,

00:24:27.980 so really don't be embarrassed that they treated me this way because, um, that actually exposed them,

00:24:34.540 you know? And it was like, these idiots, seriously? Uh, I mean, you know, they were trying to shut me

00:24:41.580 down, but it will put, they were actually pulling a huge Barbra Streisand effect on me. 1.00

00:24:47.580 Yeah. I mean, you know, there probably isn't a single person in Canada now that doesn't know who

00:24:53.020 Christine Anderson is, you know? And these idiots made it all possible, you know? I mean, making the

00:24:58.700 national news and being actually, you know, mentioned in the Canadian parliament, I mean,

00:25:05.100 seriously, but, you know, just goes to show, yeah, I was actually, once that all started,

00:25:11.900 I was, I was having the time of my life just watching how it went down. Because, you know,

00:25:18.620 there is, you know, there's a saying, all publicity is good publicity, but I don't believe that.

00:25:23.100 I think that some things, some lies, um, if they travel far enough, they can stick.

00:25:28.860 Yeah. But the thing is this, um, you know, as I said before, we may not be able to force them to

00:25:35.580 tell the truth, but we may, but we are certainly able to force them to lie even more blatantly.

00:25:42.380 And that's what they did. It was so blown out of proportion, you know, and any person would have

00:25:48.620 a brain thought just through that crap. And that actually, you know, they will, it will have the

00:25:55.340 opposite effect, you know, like the underdog kind of thing. Yeah. Well, we'll see how it goes. You're

00:26:00.620 back in Canada, which was a surprise to me. What are you doing in Canada? Why do you have a special

00:26:07.180 interest in Canada now? I mean, you, you took an interest in the trucker convoy. A lot of people

00:26:11.900 around the world did. Um, is Canada your beat now? Did, are you here on a vacation? Why did you come back?

00:26:19.500 Well, first of all, I love Canada. I've really come, uh, to, to really appreciate Canada,

00:26:24.860 uh, especially the freedom truckers and, um, whatever opportunity I get to, to meet with them.

00:26:31.740 And, you know, I've, uh, I'm just all for it. Um, but this time it was really, uh, to meet

00:26:38.940 Jordan B. Peterson, which I had the pleasure of, uh, of doing so last night. And, uh, cause he really is,

00:26:47.500 gosh, I'm actually lacking the words to, um, to explain what, what he actually did,

00:26:53.740 you know, just standing up, not taking any of this and, uh, at a personal risk, by the way,

00:26:59.500 you know, they can shut him down. They, you know, threatened to, to, uh, take away his license and,

00:27:04.700 you know, do all of that, but still he wouldn't go for it. He wouldn't give in. And that is actually,

00:27:12.780 uh, that takes a lot of courage. And, uh, yeah, I admire people like that. And, uh, the first time I

00:27:19.420 came across him, that was like, when he started talking about the, the, uh, Bill C 16, it was,

00:27:25.740 and I, I was just, it was just amazing. Just listening to him, you know, and how he carries

00:27:31.820 himself. And what I find most astonishing is, um, I'm pretty sure you noticed that last night

00:27:38.140 too. You can actually watch him think as he speaks, you know, uh, that is just, gosh,

00:27:47.180 he is awesome. He really is amazing. And I'm really glad I got the chance to meet him. And,

00:27:53.100 uh, so that kind of prompted me to come over again. And, uh, but since I'm here, you know,

00:27:59.260 I might as well meet up with a lovely, lovely people like yourself or, you know, other, uh,

00:28:05.020 people. So yeah, I just love Canada and, uh, they actually will have to forbid me from coming back

00:28:10.620 because otherwise I will be back. Well, I hope you have a chance to do some tourist things too. I mean,

00:28:15.340 um, wintertime in Canada, there is winter fun skiing and whatnot, but I think the spring and

00:28:19.660 the summer, there's a lot of lovely places. I hope you have a chance to take in some tourism

00:28:23.820 to listen. It's a pleasure to talk with you in person. We've talked via Skype before. It's good

00:28:28.620 to learn a little bit about the background and I'm glad that at least one of the conservatives

00:28:32.460 who met with you reached out to, to acknowledge that, that what they were doing, um, under duress was

00:28:38.220 not the right way to treat you. I would encourage our viewers to look into the alternative for

00:28:44.380 Deutschland, the AFD that we actually hit in the polls, the 20 mark, uh, 20% mark. Well,

00:28:49.980 isn't that interesting? Cause Justin Trudeau in the latest poll, only 20% of Canadians say he deserves

00:28:56.620 reelection. 80% say he should not be reelected. So the AFD is just as popular in Germany as Justin Trudeau

00:29:04.460 is in Canada. There's a statistic for you. I would encourage, uh, our viewers to look into the AFD

00:29:09.980 themselves because the lies that were thrown against you, because I knew a little bit about

00:29:15.260 the AFD because I'd met some AFD people in Germany when I was there a few years ago. And because I knew

00:29:20.620 that I knew a little bit about it, I thought the attacks on you were outrageous to begin with. And

00:29:25.660 the fact that they were mouthed by the leader of the opposition was just astonishing. Well, listen,

00:29:31.180 enjoy the rest of your time in Canada. Thanks very much for spending some time with us. Thanks for

00:29:34.780 having me. It's been a great pleasure. There you have it. From all of us here at Rebel World

00:29:39.820 Headquarters to you at home, good night and keep fighting for freedom.
