Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ The Federal Court finally releases its written judgment in our last free speech battle against Trudeau

00:00:00.120 Hello, my Rebels. Today I'm going to take you through a court ruling, a Canadian court ruling, for free speech.

00:00:05.960 It's a very rare thing to have a Canadian ruling for free speech, isn't it?

00:00:09.240 I'll take you through the ruling, and I'll tell you why it's a little twinkle of hope,

00:00:13.020 but that, of course, more censorship is on the way. That's ahead.

00:00:16.640 But first, let me invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus.

00:00:19.500 It's the video version of this show. Just go to rebelnewsplus.com, click subscribe.

00:00:24.100 It's eight bucks a month. That's half the price of Netflix.

00:00:26.420 And in addition to my daily show in video form, you get weekly shows from Sheila Gunn-Reed, Andrew Chapados, David Menzies, and Nat and Kat, who have their own new show.

00:00:36.880 So there's a lot of stuff there for eight bucks a month, and most importantly, you help keep us independent.

00:00:41.380 We don't take a dime from Trudeau, and it shows. So that's just rebelnewsplus.com.

00:00:46.340 All right, here's today's show.

00:00:52.340 You're listening to a Rebel News Podcast.

00:00:56.420 Tonight, the Federal Court of Canada finally releases its written judgment in our last free speech, Victory Against Justin Trudeau.

00:01:10.940 It's March 9th, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.

00:01:13.500 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:19.260 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:23.320 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody right to do so.

00:01:34.480 There is bad news everywhere if you care about freedom.

00:01:38.160 It's never been worse in Canada, actually.

00:01:40.640 I say that after considering it carefully.

00:01:44.040 It's never been worse for freedom, and those who should care do not seem to care.

00:01:51.060 The Canadian Civil Liberties Association finally roused itself a few weeks ago on the subject of the Emergencies Act.

00:01:58.540 That was really the first time during the entire lockdown that they spoke out about anything.

00:02:03.020 But like Halley's comment, they're apparently gone now for 75 more years.

00:02:09.500 Most journalists don't care about censorship because these days they actually work for the government itself.

00:02:15.600 I mean, they're all too eager to do smiling photo ops of Justin Trudeau and Anita Anand, the defense minister in Europe, smiling photo ops.

00:02:25.940 They're not in Ukraine, of course.

00:02:27.240 They're just posing for selfies, posing for photos.

00:02:31.000 Just a loving, loving treatment by journalists, by Canadian journalists, I mean.

00:02:36.320 The ones who were on Trudeau's payroll, I mean.

00:02:38.480 Here are some clips from UK journalists, not paid by Trudeau, just appalled by him.

00:02:45.860 Can I show you a few clips?

00:02:47.320 I want to show you three different media shows just to prove to you that it's not just one or two people.

00:02:52.920 Here's a rollicking go at him.

00:02:56.180 Unthinkable that you'd see something like this on This Hour Has 22 Minutes or anywhere in Canadian media.

00:03:01.960 No, take a look.

00:03:03.380 The Queen had her first in-person engagement since she had COVID. 0.90

00:03:08.940 And unfortunately, he was with a despicable dictator.

00:03:12.440 This is from the Metro. 1.00

00:03:13.600 Not only despicable, but hypocritical. 0.98

00:03:15.980 Yeah, yeah. 0.99

00:03:16.540 Probably one of the worst dictators in the world up until Putin decided to invade Ukraine.

00:03:21.300 So Trudeau, the Canadian prime minister, is visiting the UK.

00:03:26.080 You might have seen the pictures of him.

00:03:27.240 He gets off the plane.

00:03:28.860 And so he's standing in the open air at the top of the steps of the plane with a mask on.

00:03:33.760 And then you see him meeting the Queen.

00:03:37.560 So she's a 95-year-old vulnerable woman indoors.

00:03:40.980 No mask.

00:03:42.020 So, I mean, it just shows...

00:03:42.980 The Iran claims she just had COVID, so she was...

00:03:45.440 She was immune.

00:03:46.120 I mean, I think the air, the open air had just had COVID.

00:03:49.740 So it wasn't going to catch COVID.

00:03:51.160 You know what I think?

00:03:51.840 It just shows the theatre of all of this.

00:03:54.300 But, yeah, the Canadian prime minister was seen laughing as he greeted the 95-year-old monarch,

00:03:59.800 they mean the Queen, at Windsor Castle, where she's actually moved to, I believe.

00:04:03.300 She's not going back to Buckingham Palace.

00:04:05.160 She's permanently moved to Windsor Castle.

00:04:07.320 Well, the view's nicer.

00:04:08.560 So, yeah, it is.

00:04:09.460 Nice part of the world.

00:04:10.380 I'm performing there at Fuzzy Bear in Windsor this weekend.

00:04:15.040 But, yeah, she looked happy and healthy because, obviously, she's recently recovered from COVID.

00:04:20.100 So it's good to see her looking happy and healthy again.

00:04:22.220 But she said...

00:04:23.700 Was she still happy after she met Trudeau?

00:04:25.980 She apparently was.

00:04:26.940 But, I mean, this is the thing.

00:04:27.780 She's got to meet and greet, you know, some not very savoury people.

00:04:31.360 That is the job of being a head of state.

00:04:33.700 You've got to meet dictators.

00:04:34.680 You've read all the dark conspiracies about Trudeau on the internet, Nick.

00:04:38.220 What are those?

00:04:40.640 There's all sorts of people...

00:04:41.740 Castro one.

00:04:42.540 He's supposed to be...

00:04:43.080 Castro's son.

00:04:43.900 Castro's son.

00:04:44.220 That's just true.

00:04:45.300 I thought you said conspiracies.

00:04:48.080 Yeah.

00:04:48.960 I'm hoping the Queen at least kept him in line.

00:04:51.620 It's a Commonwealth nation.

00:04:52.760 I'm hoping she gave him some tips on how to actually govern.

00:04:55.200 But I'm a bit worried it would have gone the other way and she'll suddenly freeze Harry's

00:04:58.280 bank account or something.

00:04:59.540 You know what I mean?

00:05:00.380 I mean, this guy's freezing his citizen's bank account.

00:05:02.700 Yeah, he loved meeting the Queen, though.

00:05:05.180 You could see how chuffed he was.

00:05:06.760 I would have loved him for him to meet Prince Philip while he was in blackface. 1.00

00:05:10.580 That would have been...

00:05:11.520 I think Prince Philip would have appreciated it.

00:05:12.500 It would have been a meeting of minds.

00:05:13.800 Here's another clip from the United Kingdom.

00:05:16.360 Same trip by Trudeau.

00:05:18.800 He gave this great long diatribe today against Putin, saying that he wants respect for sovereignty.

00:05:26.020 He wants to have democracy stood for.

00:05:28.920 He wants to stay true to these values.

00:05:31.500 He wants to fight for that all over the world.

00:05:33.000 This was a man that basically froze the bank accounts of truckers, decided that he was

00:05:38.740 going to forcibly round them up.

00:05:41.520 He took tactics directly out of the rulebook of Vladimir Putin to deal with his own people.

00:05:46.660 And then he has the audacity and the lack of self-awareness to stand at a podium and tell

00:05:50.560 us that he wants to fight for sovereignty and democracy. 1.00

00:05:52.860 He's a hypocrite. 1.00

00:05:53.760 He has a neck made of brass. 1.00

00:05:55.520 And he's a moron. 1.00

00:05:56.660 And he's a plank. 1.00

00:05:57.660 He really is.

00:05:58.160 He's been on this show already this year for some of the actions that he's taken.

00:06:01.560 So for him to be on it yet again, that's going to keep him pretty much up there.

00:06:05.420 But he also, all the protesting truckers, most of whom were vaccinated, by the way, in

00:06:09.640 any case, he also branded them racist and misogynist, didn't he?

00:06:13.480 And when a Conservative MP stood up and said, like, you can't say that, you can't slander

00:06:18.140 them that way, he said, well, maybe you might be happy to stand with swastikas and Confederate 0.73

00:06:22.680 flags, but I'm not.

00:06:24.080 She was a Jewish MP.

00:06:26.560 Ha.

00:06:27.140 Yes. 1.00

00:06:27.980 He really is an absolute idiot. 1.00

00:06:30.640 Plank of the planks. 1.00

00:06:31.680 He had no self-awareness as to what he was doing.

00:06:33.740 And now Putin is clamping down on protesters, treating them absolutely appalling.

00:06:37.740 Now, obviously, there's no comparison between what Trudeau has done with his people and what

00:06:41.980 Putin is doing in Ukraine.

00:06:42.540 The Canadian police were pretty rough with them, weren't they?

00:06:44.160 But the Canadian police were really rough.

00:06:45.500 And he was clamping down on free speech and protests.

00:06:47.700 Yeah, yeah.

00:06:48.140 Freezing their bank accounts.

00:06:50.480 Confiscating their pets.

00:06:51.520 Their pets! 0.55

00:06:52.840 With a potential threat of... 0.86

00:06:54.620 And also, did he not say he was going to kill the pets?

00:06:56.520 If anyone came near Dominique Devereaux or Dolly Parton, I'm telling you right now, there would be murder.

00:07:02.200 Or watch a bit from this.

00:07:03.480 It goes on.

00:07:04.040 I won't play you the whole thing.

00:07:04.940 Just watch a bit.

00:07:05.820 There's an old saying.

00:07:06.940 Genius loves company.

00:07:08.780 But the flip side of that is that prize numpties seem to stick together like glue.

00:07:13.840 Take a look at this double act from hell. 0.53

00:07:15.520 The grinning tyrant Justin Trudeau, Canada's Prime Minister. 0.97

00:07:21.540 Only half his face covered in black this time. 0.86

00:07:24.820 And a man who spends more time on his knees than a playboy bunny, Sir Keir Starmer.

00:07:30.380 A man who campaigned to get Russia-loving communist Jeremy Corbyn into number 10.

00:07:35.560 What a pair.

00:07:36.200 With the Labour Party having supported all of the increasingly questionable COVID measures,

00:07:42.560 and at every turn pushing for more, longer, harder, faster,

00:07:46.320 Starmer called Freedom Day reckless, don't forget,

00:07:48.940 it strikes me that the most pious, seemingly most lovely, caring, hand-wringing political leaders

00:07:55.000 have proven to be the most autocratic.

00:07:58.320 Piers Morgan, perhaps the most famous journalist in the United Kingdom,

00:08:02.860 tweeted this, just a tweet,

00:08:04.840 But why hasn't any Canadian journalist tweeted this?

00:08:08.280 Why on earth would Justin Trudeau wear a mask to meet Keir Starmer,

00:08:13.200 but not the Queen? 0.72

00:08:15.160 Preposterous.

00:08:16.580 Thing is, if you talk that way in the Canadian media,

00:08:19.720 you're not going to get your bailout.

00:08:22.800 It's not just the media.

00:08:24.320 I showed you how ordinary Brits are literally protesting in the streets against Trudeau. 1.00

00:08:28.640 Fuck Trudeau! 1.00

00:08:30.520 Fuck Trudeau! 1.00

00:08:32.160 Fuck Trudeau! 1.00

00:08:33.200 So do you see the problem? 1.00

00:08:35.420 We don't really have a civil liberties movement in Canada,

00:08:39.080 with the notable exception of the JCCF,

00:08:41.640 the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms,

00:08:44.120 and of course, our friends at the Democracy Fund,

00:08:47.000 and a smaller group at the Canadian Constitution Foundation.

00:08:50.640 But that's pretty much it.

00:08:52.380 And the media, who are normally on guard for freedom of the press and freedom of speech,

00:08:59.040 they're almost completely compromised.

00:09:00.700 I can count on one hand's fingers the independent media in this country.

00:09:04.300 I mean, seriously, imagine listening to this guy say this with a straight face.

00:09:09.440 My friends, as long as we don't take our democracy for granted,

00:09:15.320 as long as we keep working to make it better,

00:09:19.040 as long as we stay united,

00:09:22.620 we needn't ever feel intimidated by tyrants.

00:09:26.940 So you're lecturing Putin on democracy after you suspended democracy in Canada

00:09:32.160 because peaceful truckers were honking their horns.

00:09:35.260 All right, here's some more.

00:09:35.860 We mustn't despair.

00:09:39.280 Because at its best, democracy is always stronger than authoritarianism.

00:09:48.740 But if we're going to be honest with each other,

00:09:52.500 democracy hasn't exactly been at its best these past few years.

00:09:57.560 So democracy hasn't been at its best.

00:10:00.500 What does that mean?

00:10:02.000 Democracy, the system, the ideology?

00:10:03.900 Or the politicians who hold office?

00:10:07.060 Or is he saying, which I think he is,

00:10:10.920 that we, the people, have failed to live up to his greatness?

00:10:14.860 We haven't been worthy of his leadership.

00:10:17.860 You know that's what he means.

00:10:19.560 And hey, guys, the way to have better government, better democracy,

00:10:23.380 is to ban certain criticisms of the government from the Internet.

00:10:29.320 We all have a responsibility to deal in facts.

00:10:33.900 And to fight the flood of disinformation and manipulation.

00:10:40.020 While social media has a profound positive effect on society,

00:10:44.800 it also has a role in enabling harmful content like hate speech and misinformation.

00:10:51.100 Domestically, our government is working on a new legislation to address online harms.

00:10:59.220 This year, Canada is chair of the Freedom Online Coalition.

00:11:03.760 And our goal is to encourage the public to have informed and meaningful engagement in society,

00:11:09.940 both offline and online.

00:11:12.080 We all have more work to do.

00:11:15.900 Yeah, I'm not optimistic, are you?

00:11:18.600 But I will fight until the end.

00:11:19.980 I've made the personal decision that until I die or until I retire,

00:11:24.240 which I really can't imagine happening until I've lost my faculties.

00:11:28.600 I mean, people try to convince me to leave Canada for the United States,

00:11:32.020 in particular, for the free states like Florida or Texas or Tennessee or, frankly,

00:11:37.140 even blue states are freer than much of Canada.

00:11:40.100 There's no requirement to be vaxxed to get on a plane or a train in New York or California.

00:11:45.080 Courts have been active defenders of liberty, knocking down bizarre impunitive lockdowns,

00:11:50.840 even their Supreme Court has.

00:11:52.540 Our Supreme Court hasn't said a word about any lockdown.

00:11:56.380 They haven't taken any case.

00:11:57.620 Imagine that, two years of a civil liberties bonfire and not a peep from the Supreme Court.

00:12:02.320 Yeah, it would have been nice.

00:12:04.940 But let me read to you a little symbol of hope.

00:12:07.440 You already know the result already.

00:12:09.240 It was from last fall when Rebel News applied to send a dozen or so journalists

00:12:13.660 to cover the federal leaders' debate in the election campaign.

00:12:17.560 We had been kept out of the leaders' debate in the previous election in 2019,

00:12:22.140 and we ran to court to get an emergency injunction.

00:12:24.800 And to my everlasting delight and satisfaction,

00:12:27.400 we won.

00:12:29.340 And so we covered the 2019 election debates better than anyone else.

00:12:33.400 Here's just a reminder of some of the questions we asked.

00:12:35.980 Have you, your campaign, or any other agents secured non-disclosure agreements

00:12:39.400 from anyone about inappropriate sexual personal conduct?

00:12:43.680 No.

00:12:44.620 Follow-up.

00:12:45.320 The 2001 yearbook from West Point Grey Academy says that you and convicted sex offender

00:12:50.420 Christopher Ingvoldson made a young student's, quote,

00:12:53.540 life at WPGA a lot more interesting slash amusing, end quote.

00:12:57.960 How did you two keep her amused? 1.00

00:12:59.640 Mr. Scheer, only 6% of Canadians indicate they want to see immigration increased,

00:13:05.360 yet you are on board with the Trudeau Liberals' plan to increase immigration

00:13:09.920 to 350,000 migrants per year.

00:13:13.260 Why is that?

00:13:14.300 Well, between 2019 and 2021, Trudeau's lawyers worked tirelessly to try and strengthen their

00:13:20.760 defenses against Rebel News.

00:13:24.000 They read that 2019 court ruling that we won very carefully, and they tried to remove all

00:13:29.120 of the judges' objections.

00:13:30.400 So, for example, in 2021, they published very detailed rules for how to get in, unlike 2019,

00:13:37.940 where they published really no rules.

00:13:40.960 Instead of giving us a one-line rejection email like they did in 2019, in 2021, they sent us

00:13:47.700 each a dozen pages of detailed rejection points drafted by lawyers.

00:13:52.140 They must have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on lawyers. 0.63

00:13:54.480 But, miracle of miracle, we beat them again in court.

00:14:00.400 We had the best questions of the night.

00:14:02.600 Here's just a little reminder.

00:14:04.500 I have a question from Tamara Ugolini from Rebel News.

00:14:10.440 Mr. Trudeau, the only reason that I'm allowed to ask you this question is because today the

00:14:16.400 federal court ruled that the government doesn't have the right to determine who is or is not

00:14:20.940 a journalist.

00:14:21.540 This is the second election in a row that the court had to overturn your government.

00:14:27.300 Do you still insist on being able to make that decision and why?

00:14:32.600 First of all, questions around accreditation were handled by the press gallery and the consortium

00:14:39.300 of networks who have strong perspectives on quality journalism and the important information

00:14:46.460 that is shared with Canadians.

00:14:48.200 The reality is organizations like yours that continue to spread misinformation and disinformation

00:15:00.440 on the science around vaccines, around how we're going to actually get through this pandemic

00:15:07.940 and be there for each other and keep our kids safe is part of why we're seeing such unfortunate

00:15:15.620 anger and lack of understanding of basic science.

00:15:20.960 And quite frankly, your, I won't call it a media organization, your group of individuals need

00:15:29.280 to take accountability for some of the polarization that we're seeing in this country.

00:15:35.660 And I think Canadians are cluing into the fact that there is a really important decision we take

00:15:42.740 about the kind of country we want to see.

00:15:45.000 And I salute all extraordinary, hardworking journalists that put science and facts at the heart of what

00:15:52.220 they do and ask me tough questions every day, but make sure that they are educating and informing

00:15:59.900 Canadians from a broad range of perspectives, which is the last thing that you guys do.

00:16:05.600 The left love that answer.

00:16:07.740 I don't think they should.

00:16:08.960 I think it makes their man look like a tyrant.

00:16:11.420 And this question by Alexa Lavoie was just top notch.

00:16:13.880 Bonjour M. Trudeau, Alexa pour Rebell News.

00:16:16.800 Donc M. Trudeau, je vais revenir rapidement sur ce qui s'est passé hier.

00:16:20.900 Vous avez déabolisé l'un des rares médias qui ne reçoit pas d'argent du gouvernement.

00:16:26.640 Vous avez exprimé votre opinion en disant que nous propageons la désinformation.

00:16:32.380 Si c'était vrai et si c'était le cas, la Cour fédérale ne nous aurait pas permis d'être

00:16:37.440 ici aujourd'hui.

00:16:38.740 Je suis moi-même scientifique et je me base sur les faits.

00:16:42.160 Ma question est la suivante.

00:16:44.960 L'Israël est l'un des pays les plus vaccinés au monde.

00:16:49.300 Ils sont rendus maintenant à leur quatrième rappel de vaccin.

00:16:52.860 Ils ne considèrent plus que ceux qui ont reçu deux doses de vaccin sont pleinement vaccinés.

00:16:59.020 Ma question est, plusieurs Canadiens ne désirent pas avoir un rappel de vaccin.

00:17:07.520 Allez-vous leur enlever leurs privilèges reliés au vaccinnal?

00:17:15.700 Et aurez-vous l'obligence de répondre à ma question en tant que premier ministre?

00:17:21.020 Ou allez-vous encore diaboliser mon média?

00:17:23.500 J'ai partagé ma perspective sur ton organisation hier soir.

00:17:28.860 Je n'ai plus rien à dire.

00:17:30.700 Ça demande bien qui vous êtes. Merci.

00:17:32.360 Yeah, Trudeau doesn't do very well with strong women, does he?

00:17:37.080 Anyways, we beat them in 2021 in court.

00:17:40.580 I'm sure they'll try to keep us out next election, too.

00:17:43.600 They surely have lawyers working on that right now.

00:17:46.280 But anyways, the win was quick.

00:17:48.660 It had to be.

00:17:49.660 We rushed to court in a hurry to get the order to let us in.

00:17:52.920 But the judge who heard of the case at the time, Justice Elizabeth Hinehan, only gave a very short ruling at the time.

00:18:02.520 This week, she released her formal written reasons.

00:18:07.800 I want to read a fair bit of it to you.

00:18:09.600 So at paragraph 21, she talks about Trudeau's debates commissioner.

00:18:14.920 Quote, in those letters, the commissioner set out the commission's mandate.

00:18:20.460 He referred to the Canadian Association of Journalists, the CHA, guidelines on conflict of interest, the guidelines.

00:18:28.260 And referred to the media accreditation document issued by the commission, by which the commission adopted those guidelines.

00:18:35.440 OK, so stay with me here for a moment and you'll understand why I'm quoting this.

00:18:39.700 Paragraph 22.

00:18:40.480 The commissioner proceeded to identify elements of conflict of interest that include the participation of a journalist in demonstrations,

00:18:50.920 endorsements of political candidates and written opinion pieces about subject matter addressed in the articles written.

00:18:59.600 Now, that's absurd.

00:19:01.340 Every newspaper in Canada endorses candidates in the election.

00:19:05.240 And opinion journalism is absolutely journalism.

00:19:08.120 I think Canada's best journalist is Rex Murphy, who is an opinion journalist.

00:19:14.680 Trudeau's lawyers said we violated those rules by our activism and on our endorsements.

00:19:20.840 And they listed some.

00:19:21.860 They specifically mentioned our fight against vaccine passports, for example.

00:19:26.120 And they mentioned a petition against censorship, by example.

00:19:29.740 But here's why Justice Hinehan mentioned those Canadian Association of Journalism rules, whether they make sense or not.

00:19:36.880 It's because the government, Trudeau, only applied those rules to us.

00:19:45.000 Trudeau didn't apply those same rules about no endorsements or whatever to anyone else who applied.

00:19:49.760 So what Trudeau's lawyers thought was very clever actually undid them.

00:19:55.420 And they're complicated and bizarre rules designed to deliberately trap us and just us.

00:20:01.060 Well, their sneaky plans were actually what made them lose.

00:20:04.960 Here, let me read a little bit more for you from the ruling.

00:20:08.100 Paragraph 39.

00:20:08.840 In my opinion, the applicant, that's us, a rebel, has established a strong prima facie case that it was arbitrarily targeted from the group of accredited media outlets.

00:20:20.840 By means of a media statement entitled media accreditation for the 44th general election,

00:20:27.800 the commission set out three options as to how media representatives could apply for accreditation.

00:20:34.580 Option one and two allowed for automatic accreditation for media representatives who were members of the Canadian Parliamentary Press Gallery or one of four professional media organizations.

00:20:48.580 Any media representatives who was not a member of the above mentioned groups could only apply under option three.

00:20:57.080 Media representatives apply under option three were not eligible for automatic accreditation.

00:21:07.340 Instead, these applicants were valued pursuant to the guidelines.

00:21:11.260 The commission adopted the guidelines, but only applied them to certain applicants.

00:21:16.840 This looks like an arbitrary distinction between groups.

00:21:20.900 Exactly.

00:21:21.480 So if you were part of Trudeau's press gallery, which includes foreign state broadcasters, if you can believe that, you were automatically approved.

00:21:30.660 You didn't have to prove anything.

00:21:32.120 You just, you're in.

00:21:33.980 Only we had to jump through these hoops and prove we met some arbitrary criteria, including not endorsing people with that.

00:21:42.420 But all the tricks were what undid them.

00:21:45.940 But let me read to you my favorite part of the ruling.

00:21:48.340 This is paragraph 50.

00:21:49.140 The applicant, that's us at Rebel News.

00:21:55.480 The applicant's case to this issue in, in, sorry, in terms of freedom of the press and the ability to put critical questions to the leader of the vying political parties.

00:22:09.540 In my opinion, the applicant established irreparable harm in terms of being prevented from participation in the political process on behalf of the electorate.

00:22:21.960 There is room in the nation for the expression of opposing points of view.

00:22:27.800 The applicant, the applicant, that's us at Rebel News, did not ask to impose his views, but for the opportunity to participate in coverage of matters of importance during a federal election.

00:22:41.040 Isn't that great?

00:22:42.000 I love how this judge talks about the interests of the voters, the interests of the electorate.

00:22:48.500 It's not just our rights at Rebel News to be in there.

00:22:51.500 It's the right of the people to have us asking questions on their behalf.

00:22:56.040 So we won the case.

00:22:59.860 But it's nice to see the reasoning.

00:23:01.980 And that's on the books now.

00:23:04.600 It proves what we've been saying.

00:23:06.380 That Trudeau is a thin-skinned censor.

00:23:09.660 That he's obsessed with controlling journalists.

00:23:12.460 And we're one of the few that he doesn't control.

00:23:14.240 That he has spent countless dollars finding ways of silencing us at Rebel News.

00:23:19.620 But that so far, we beat him two out of two times when it comes to us covering federal election debates.

00:23:26.820 Now, there are many other battles that we are losing, I have to tell you.

00:23:30.240 And Trudeau is trying to tilt the playing field for the next time.

00:23:34.260 He's bringing in three new censorship laws.

00:23:37.080 We'll talk about those more in the weeks and months ahead.

00:23:39.040 But for now, take satisfaction and hope in the fact that Justice Elizabeth Henehan from Newfoundland and Labrador

00:23:47.580 has told Justin Trudeau that he, well, has to toughen up a bit.

00:23:53.500 Take critical questions.

00:23:54.960 And that his attempts to silence the media are, frankly, un-Canadian and illegal.

00:24:02.160 Stay with us for more.

00:24:09.040 Welcome back.

00:24:16.000 Well, the reverberations of the Canadian Truckers Convoy continue, as I mentioned to you this week.

00:24:22.620 Tamara Litch was finally released from prison.

00:24:27.160 The shocking 18-day incarceration for inciting mischief.

00:24:32.920 I don't think anyone in Canadian history has ever been jailed before for that.

00:24:37.520 But equally atrocious to her time in prison were the restrictions on her, banning her from protesting against Trudeau's COVID rules.

00:24:48.800 I've never seen that before, or at least nothing like that, upheld by a higher court.

00:24:54.160 In the United States, though, the truckers are reaching a crescendo after starting in California.

00:25:02.540 They've finally made their way to Washington, D.C.

00:25:05.140 They have met with U.S. senators, and they're trying to press their demands.

00:25:12.140 Don't take it from me.

00:25:13.040 Take it from Jeremy Lafredo, the freelance journalist who's been on assignment for Rebel News these past week or 10 days or so.

00:25:19.960 And he joins us live via Skype right now.

00:25:24.100 Jeremy, nice to see you.

00:25:25.560 How long have you been with the Convoy now?

00:25:27.340 It's got to be more than a week.

00:25:29.240 It's been 13 days I've been with the Convoy.

00:25:31.940 Well, that's great.

00:25:32.920 You've really had a chance to get to know it.

00:25:34.600 And we've been posting your videos on our Rebel News site, and I really appreciate it.

00:25:39.660 You've really shown who is there and what they stand for.

00:25:44.200 Now, you're outside D.C.

00:25:46.560 You're about an hour outside D.C., I guess, in Maryland.

00:25:49.080 But you went to the Capitol with the truckers to meet some U.S. senators.

00:25:54.660 Tell us about that.

00:25:55.340 And then we've got a clip.

00:25:56.420 But why don't you set it up?

00:25:57.780 How did the meeting come about?

00:25:59.820 Who was there on the trucker's side?

00:26:02.420 Who was there on the politician's side?

00:26:04.560 And I guess who was there on the media's side?

00:26:07.680 Of course.

00:26:08.400 So the plan was we're going to get to Washington.

00:26:11.400 Well, they're going to get to Washington.

00:26:12.700 And they're going to slow roll the Beltway, which is the highway that surrounds Washington, D.C., once the first day.

00:26:21.560 And then they're going to go slower and take up two lanes the second day.

00:26:23.780 And after the second slow roll, they received a call from Senator Ron Johnson's office and said, we would like to talk about your demands.

00:26:33.700 We'd like to meet with you at the Capitol.

00:26:35.480 It would be me and Senator Cruz.

00:26:39.260 And they had a meeting.

00:26:41.420 And for the truckers, this seemed – well, for the organizers, this seemed like a relative – a small win.

00:26:47.820 You know, it looks like the government was relatively scared.

00:26:50.140 They didn't want the truckers to enter the city.

00:26:51.380 Let's meet with them, see what their demands are.

00:26:53.380 And they had a meeting yesterday.

00:26:55.340 And it was Senator Tom – Senator Ted Cruz, Senator Johnson, Pierre Corey and Paul Alexander, which are two doctors, very credentialed doctors.

00:27:08.900 And then there was the organizer.

00:27:10.320 And there was a few other truckers, maybe three or four other truckers.

00:27:12.900 And media was a little light on the media side.

00:27:16.500 I was there for Rebel News.

00:27:18.820 There was a few other people there.

00:27:19.900 And then the liberal media was there just to ask, you know, questions trying to trip up the truckers, trying to make them look like they're asking for something extreme or something that they're not asking for.

00:27:30.900 And that was about it.

00:27:31.900 And it didn't seem like they reached any type of agreement yet.

00:27:36.780 And so the idea is that the truckers will remain here until the government concedes something or gives the truckers something that they're asking for, namely the scrapping of the Emergencies Act or the scrapping of vaccine mandates.

00:27:51.700 And if that doesn't work out, then they're going to go into Washington.

00:27:55.800 All right.

00:27:56.340 Well, we have a clip.

00:27:57.680 It's very exciting to be in close quarters with U.S. senators up here in Canada, Jeremy.

00:28:02.440 You probably don't know this, but our Canadian Senate, although it looks powerful on paper, it's not given much Democratic respect because it's appointed for life.

00:28:12.120 They're not elected.

00:28:12.860 So most people ignore senators.

00:28:14.420 Of course, in the United States, senators are very powerful.

00:28:17.160 There's only two of them per state, and they are elected for a six-year term.

00:28:21.100 So they're very powerful people.

00:28:23.300 So to get a meeting with two sitting senators actually is a big deal, whereas in Canada, we wouldn't even care about it.

00:28:31.480 So let's play the clip now of you in this small meeting with the truckers and the two senators.

00:28:38.800 Let's take a look.

00:28:40.560 I'm Jeremy LeFried.

00:28:41.360 I'm with Rebel News out of Canada.

00:28:42.580 Oh, Trevi.

00:28:42.920 Of course.

00:28:43.480 So in Canada, we saw Prime Minister Justin Trudeau enact a form of martial law against his people.

00:28:49.720 And I was wondering if you think that America should condemn Canada as a nation, as it does, you know, enemy states, or we should, you know, be okay with it because they're our ally.

00:29:01.060 Look, I think we have seen government officials in countries all over the world abusing power.

00:29:06.320 And whether it was Justin Trudeau or Joe Biden, they're both abusing their power.

00:29:10.120 And it's wrong.

00:29:11.260 And I think we ought to use our voice to speak up for individual liberty.

00:29:15.000 When the Canadian truckers gave voice to their frustrations, they spoke for the people of Canada, but they also spoke for Americans.

00:29:23.920 They spoke for people all over the world.

00:29:26.060 And that was powerful.

00:29:27.060 And we saw a pattern that sadly has been repeated over and over again of government officials reaching out to their buddies in big tech and demanding they use their power to try to silence dissent.

00:29:38.080 And so in Canada, we saw the government officials demanding of GoFundMe that they essentially go steal $10 million from the Canadian truckers.

00:29:46.720 We saw in the United States, the Biden White House, Jen Psaki at the White House press room, reach out and demand of Spotify that it pulled down Joe Rogan for daring to even ask questions about the COVID orthodoxy.

00:30:01.120 That abuse of individual rights is wrong.

00:30:05.080 And we ought to speak out for freedom across the globe.

00:30:08.760 Thank you.

00:30:09.620 Well, Jeremy, that was a very substantive answer, I thought.

00:30:14.060 He obviously has been following the Canadian trucker situation.

00:30:17.660 He knew the details of the GoFundMe.

00:30:19.720 You know, that's a big get.

00:30:22.200 I mean, Ted Cruz, not everyone, he's not everyone's cup of tea, but he is a fairly senior and fairly prominent.

00:30:29.060 I mean, he ran for president in 2016 for the Republican primary, presidential primary.

00:30:35.220 Obviously, he was not successful, but he, I think he is, you would have to call him one of the probably five most prominent senators on the Republican side.

00:30:44.200 I thought that was a very substantial exchange.

00:30:46.780 What did you think?

00:30:47.480 Yeah, I mean, he's definitely, he's saying all the right things.

00:30:51.860 That's, that's for sure.

00:30:52.960 And, you know, in America we have, in every country you have it, but we have a type of, you know, political theater that's kind of unmatched by any other nation.

00:31:01.560 So while that they, they are saying the right thing, you have truckers sitting here outside the Capitol who've traveled from across the country demanding policy changes.

00:31:09.900 And, you know, Ted Cruz sitting down with the organizers is great, but, you know, they didn't reach a, any substantial concessions or the government's really not going to give in to the truckers.

00:31:22.620 It doesn't look like as of now.

00:31:24.020 Well, I think you're right, and I'm certainly not here to defend Ted Cruz or any politician, but I do note that the mandate, the requirement that truckers get vaxxed across the Canada-U.S. border, which has been the real spark for these trucker convoys.

00:31:43.760 Because that, on the, on the Canadian side, that's Justin Trudeau's order, and on the American side, that's the White House.

00:31:50.620 So I don't even think that Ted Cruz or the other senator who was there, first of all, they're in the minority party in the Senate.

00:31:58.740 And second of all, I suppose they could have introduced some bill or motion in the Senate, but at the end of the day, the decision to rescind that mandate either has to come from the White House or a court striking it down.

00:32:13.420 Which may happen, by the way.

00:32:15.400 But, no, I take your point.

00:32:16.640 I guess what, all I would say is in reply to your accurate comment, which is that the truckers actually didn't get anything in hand, is that unless they were to talk to the governing party or the White House or the majority party in Congress, I don't know what Ted Cruz could have given them.

00:32:34.700 That's exactly right.

00:32:35.520 But he gave them some of his time, which is of value, and he gave them words of support.

00:32:41.320 So I'm going to say it's more than nothing, and given that Cruz is in the minority party in the Senate and that it's not within the Senate's power to make or break the mandate, I'm going to say it was, well, let me put it this way.

00:32:54.080 A lot of Canadian politicians were terrified to meet with the truckers on our side of the border.

00:32:59.320 So I got to tip my hat to Ted Cruz.

00:33:01.380 And I like the fact that he gave you a real answer.

00:33:03.760 I mean, he talked to you for about a minute there, which I know that sounds laughable.

00:33:07.820 But, no, he said, you know, I thought he gave you a little bit of respect for your question, too.

00:33:12.520 No, it was very well thought out.

00:33:13.740 And it's about time that we, in America, our elected leaders say something, what's going on just north of the border.

00:33:21.480 You know, we have your government enacted a form of martial law against these peaceful protesters.

00:33:26.180 And when that happens in, you know, an enemy state, official enemy state, if that happens in Venezuela, if that happens in Iran or China, you know, it's all over the news.

00:33:34.560 It's blasted all over the news.

00:33:35.640 There's condemnations across the U.S. government.

00:33:38.640 But, you know, with what happened in Canada, since they're, you know, an ally, we were kind of relaxed about it.

00:33:44.420 It's nice to hear somebody really speak out about it.

00:33:47.500 Yeah, I thought so, too.

00:33:48.280 I don't know if you know this, but our prime minister, Justin Trudeau, went to London, England, the other day, and Boris Johnson, the prime minister there, greeted him warmly.

00:33:58.140 But they were actual street protesters, so many and so noisy that Trudeau had to take another way in.

00:34:07.060 And I was delighted to hear that because I thought, wow, people even that far away have heard about the truckers and know what's going on.

00:34:15.460 And, by the way, one of the things they protested was the treatment of trucker organizer Tamera Litch, who spent 18 days in prison.

00:34:22.380 So I was very surprised, pleasantly, by the protests on the streets of the U.K.

00:34:26.460 I got one last question for you, and that is, you know, Ted Cruz, Ron Johnson, both Republicans, traditionally not known as the party of the working man.

00:34:37.100 These truckers are working class people. 0.95

00:34:39.680 Well, they may be independent owner operators, but still, it's just aesthetically, it feels like a Joe Biden Democrat Party base.

00:34:48.600 Are there any people on the Congress side, on the House of Representatives side, is there anyone who would typically be called liberal or leftist who met with them, even just to give them the courtesy of a hearing?

00:35:02.400 Interesting. So we saw the two Republicans. Has anyone else met with the truckers?

00:35:07.920 No one. Not one person who represents the American people and the U.S. government has met with the truckers at any capacity or voiced any support towards them.

00:35:20.100 Well, I'm disappointed to hear that, but I can't say that I'm actually shocked because it was the same.

00:35:27.560 In fact, in Canada, they were denounced by there's a party of the left up here called the NDP, which is typically called a socialist party.

00:35:35.260 And they actually condemned the truckers the most viciously, which I found startling.

00:35:40.360 Let me ask you this, Jeremy, before I let you go. And by the way, thanks for joining us.

00:35:42.840 For our viewers who are curious, Jeremy's been embedded with the convoy and he's doing this interview from an RV, which there was a lot of RVs in the Canadian convoys, too.

00:35:52.320 It saves on hotels and you can can roll along with convoy.

00:35:56.460 What are your plans? I mean, we're delighted to have you stay on this project.

00:36:00.780 You've been at it for almost two weeks. What's the plan? What's your plan? What's the plan of the truckers?

00:36:06.680 Well, I've been speaking to the truckers often and, you know, I spoke with them late last night.

00:36:13.420 I was there there at the Hagerstown Speedway where they're all parked.

00:36:17.140 There's still more. It's hard to believe there's still more trucks and convoys coming in from across the country and parking at Hagerstown Speedway in Maryland, right outside of Washington, where we are.

00:36:26.800 Just a couple of days ago, over 60 big rigs and 30 RVs and 20 cars came in and joined our convoy.

00:36:34.300 You know, and I asked, you know, it's late in the game. Like, it's why are you joining now?

00:36:39.440 And many of them are, you know, they're interested to see what happens and they're kind of eager to to go into Washington.

00:36:46.740 We hear a lot of talk from the organizers saying, you know, we're going to do another lap around.

00:36:52.180 We're going to do another slow roll. And a lot of the truckers are are thinking, you know, we came all this way for my family's for our right to livelihood.

00:37:01.360 We want to work. We want to cross the border. We don't want these mandates to be able to go in and out as they as they wish to put them with the Emergencies Act.

00:37:09.700 So the organizers are being light footed and they just want to keep having meetings and they want to maybe clog up the beltway a little bit.

00:37:17.200 And the truckers themselves, you know, they're not working. They're not making money.

00:37:21.480 They're away from their families. They can only stay here so long.

00:37:24.040 So they're they're getting a little antsy. That's what I that's what I sense.

00:37:28.720 And I'll be here until until everyone goes home or everyone goes into D.C.

00:37:34.600 We'll see what happens. Yeah, very interesting.

00:37:36.940 I bet that the Washington, D.C. police and political operators watched very closely what happened in Ottawa.

00:37:42.920 What happened in Ottawa was an international disgrace, by the way, as I think, you know, Jeremy,

00:37:46.980 one of our reporters was actually shot at point blank range by a riot policeman with a with a can, a chemical canister was shocking.

00:37:57.180 I certainly hope that the D.C. police or other police forces don't copy Ottawa's atrocious example.

00:38:04.440 I hope they regard it as a cautionary tale, but I'm not so sure.

00:38:08.700 Thanks for being on the on the file for us.

00:38:10.840 I think you made some real news with your interview with Ted Cruz there.

00:38:14.980 So congrats on that. And keep us posted what happens.

00:38:18.080 And if the truckers do go into the city, not just the beltway around the city, but the actual capital region,

00:38:23.880 sparks are going to fly. And we're glad that you're on the scene to cover it for us.

00:38:29.280 Thank you, Ezra.

00:38:29.940 All right. There you have it.

00:38:30.660 Jeremy Lafredo, a freelance journalist who is on assignment for Rebel News embedded with the truckers in Hagerstown, Maryland.

00:38:36.900 Stay with us. More ahead.

00:38:40.840 Welcome back. Your letters.

00:38:52.300 This is one is from Brian, who says the real kicker here is that Trump said this is exactly what would happen if the states in Canada gave up energy independence.

00:39:02.560 Oh, you're so right. Trump was drill, drill, drill, dig for coal, frack, everything.

00:39:07.200 He was sort of an all of the above guy. And he actually said to Europe, don't you buy that Russian gas?

00:39:14.700 Well, they ignored him. Ha ha, Trump. What do you know about the world?

00:39:17.500 Well, he seems to know a lot, I guess.

00:39:20.500 Hankster the Prankster says this play on logic might make sense, but liberals will argue they would rather freeze in the dark than use our own oil.

00:39:29.420 Take one for the team. I say let them prove that.

00:39:31.680 Well, that's a funny phrase because Ralph Klein once said, let those eastern bastards freeze in the dark. 1.00

00:39:36.200 That was a phrase he said. I think it was Klein who said that because, of course, Trudeau's father and many other eastern politicians loved attacking the oil patch. 0.98

00:39:48.120 But as I mentioned in my show a few weeks ago, I think the number one person to blame for the fact that there aren't literally millions more barrels of oil a day on the world market is Gerald Butts,

00:40:01.500 who killed all the oil sands pipelines, Energy East, Northern Gateway, Trans Mountain.

00:40:09.800 Gerald Butts, who used to be paid by the World Wildlife Fund, which is a foreign funded environmental extremist group.

00:40:15.220 He did what he said he would do. He killed it. Who did that benefit? 0.63

00:40:20.540 Well, more than anyone else had benefited Russia and OPEC by keeping ethical oil off the world market.

00:40:25.880 I blame Trudeau and Gerald Butts.

00:40:29.380 Travis Polson says, Russia, Russia, Russia.

00:40:33.220 Where was all the sanction talk when it came to Saudi Arabia pounding on Yemen?

00:40:37.720 Not only was there not massive sanctions, they were tripping over each other to sell Saudi Arabia weapons.

00:40:43.420 Well, what's so crazy is that Biden's first move was to go to Venezuela and go to the Saudis, say, hey, can you guys pump some more oil?

00:40:51.660 How about go to Americans and go to Canadians? 0.65

00:40:54.280 It's so weird that he wanted to replace Russian conflict oil with OPEC conflict oil.

00:40:59.320 I just don't get it. I think it's crazy.

00:41:01.740 Anyways, that's our show for today. Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night.

00:41:08.380 And keep fighting for freedom. And let me leave you with a video of the day of Adam Sos with an exclusive interview with David Pavlovsky.

00:41:15.840 After he was released from jail, I tell you, those Pavlovsky brothers, Arthur and David, have been arrested, I'm going to say a dozen times over the lockdown.

00:41:24.660 It's insane. I'll leave you with that video. See you later, everybody.

00:41:27.080 Adam Sos here for Rebel News, and you very likely heard that Pastor Arthur Pavlovsky remains behind bars.

00:41:33.240 Well, last week, you likely also heard that his brother David Pavlovsky was arrested.

00:41:37.780 Now, he's arrested on breach of probation, but the sort of troubling thing is the fact he met most of the criteria of his probation.

00:41:44.060 And the one thing he had to do was community service hours.

00:41:46.320 He did some, much of it not being acknowledged by his probation officer.

00:41:49.380 He struggled to find somewhere where he could do his sort of acknowledged court-approved volunteer service because of his vaccination status.

00:41:57.200 So he's effectively being persecuted against for his vaccination status yet again, which is what the Pavlovskis have spent so much time rallying against.

00:42:05.400 Ultimately, I want to remind you that Pastor Arthur Pavlovsky and David Pavlovsky,

00:42:08.580 the extent of their so-called crimes includes feeding the homeless, opening their church through COVID-19 restrictions,

00:42:14.720 and as pastors daring to preach to truckers at the Kootz blockade.

00:42:18.780 All of these things, charter-enshrined rights and freedoms that should be defended,

00:42:23.100 are in the world of COVID-19 now considered to be crimes.

00:42:26.720 And for those crimes, David was arrested.

00:42:29.000 Pastor Arthur Pavlovsky was arrested, and he remains behind bars.

00:42:33.080 We're going to join David Pavlovsky in a moment, who has been released for an update on his situation,

00:42:37.900 to discuss his arrest, and to talk about his brother's situation in prison.

00:42:42.020 Well, I was just helping somebody, you know, that needed to move,

00:42:47.800 and all of a sudden, I believe it was a sting operation.

00:42:52.780 This is my thoughts.

00:42:55.180 It was done not by the police, but by the sheriffs,

00:42:58.340 which is kind of weird, knowing that we are doing vigils at the Riemann,

00:43:04.000 and the sheriffs are there, and they hear the messages.

00:43:07.140 It was just kind of weird that it was all sheriffs.

00:43:10.760 There was no police present.

00:43:13.160 So they just, he ran out of nowhere, like from a slingshot,

00:43:19.000 and started to just freak out and stop the church truck.

00:43:23.280 Like, so I didn't know what I did, you know, so I pulled over,

00:43:29.480 and they kept me for about half an hour in a car, kind of guessing what's going on.

00:43:36.600 He was walking around, checking the car, you know,

00:43:40.040 and reading the signs, street church, and everything.

00:43:44.580 And, yeah, I had to wait half an hour.

00:43:46.720 Then I saw him creeping in, and it was, I think, five of them that came to arrest me,

00:43:52.940 which was, it's a joke.

00:43:55.060 It's really a, it's a sad joke.

00:43:57.280 It's a Greek drama, because, you know, five guys to arrest a preacher 0.98

00:44:01.860 that's feeding the homeless, it's ridiculous. 0.92

00:44:05.680 I'm not a gangster. 0.93

00:44:06.620 I'm not a mafia person, you know.

00:44:09.100 I'm just a preacher that feeds the homeless.

00:44:13.480 And so, the weird thing was, it seemed, you were under the impression,

00:44:18.000 Nathaniel, we spoke to as well, Archer's son,

00:44:21.240 was under the impression that they were kind of making it seem like it was just a stop.

00:44:24.860 Yeah.

00:44:25.100 And then, oh, we have, it's the second time there's been a check stop,

00:44:28.880 or some sort of stop, and they're like, oh, we just happened to find you.

00:44:33.200 The other thing that's really interesting that Nathaniel mentioned, though,

00:44:35.520 is you were, of course, forced to leave your truck there.

00:44:38.180 And then Nathaniel, by the time he got there to leave the truck, any stop or check,

00:44:43.020 there was no officers left.

00:44:44.940 No.

00:44:45.160 So, they were waiting by the side of the road.

00:44:46.500 You pull up, they randomly stop you.

00:44:48.400 Yeah.

00:44:48.900 Then you're arrested, and then they're gone.

00:44:50.880 And then they're all packed their tools, their toys, you know, and they left.

00:44:56.460 You know, so their job was done.

00:44:58.560 You know what was crazy?

00:44:59.760 They, when they were walking, talking for so long, I seen them make phone calls.

00:45:05.720 I seen them talking to one another.

00:45:08.980 Some of them were putting gear on.

00:45:11.240 I was like, what's going on?

00:45:12.720 Like, really, what are they?

00:45:14.400 I started to get worried.

00:45:15.920 Like, what is this?

00:45:17.180 Well, what's going on? 0.98

00:45:19.180 And the whole thing was just ridiculous.

00:45:23.220 The moment they arrested me, everybody just left.

00:45:26.180 It's like, the way they were walking, it was like, negotiating who's going to get the trophy.

00:45:33.700 It was that feeling.

00:45:35.460 So, they took me to a processing center, and of course, on the cement, they searched my wallet for some reason.

00:45:45.460 I don't understand why, but they did.

00:45:49.920 Like, it looked like they were looking for anything.

00:45:53.760 Anything.

00:45:54.280 They were ready to cook things up.

00:45:57.380 That's what it seemed like to me.

00:45:59.260 And so, they put me in a cell.

00:46:02.260 Now, what goes through your head?

00:46:04.360 Obviously, you're seeing them start to put on gear.

00:46:06.800 It's the sheriffs.

00:46:07.800 We've seen tactical gear in the past.

00:46:10.260 I know we heard from Archer that, and we don't know if this is true for sure,

00:46:13.180 but we heard that other inmates were saying that the guards suggested that they should maybe rough them up,

00:46:18.560 and their lives would get a little bit better.

00:46:20.880 What's starting to go through your head with this persecution?

00:46:23.320 I know some members of the family have said they're worried they're going to do something dramatic.

00:46:27.740 Are you scared that they might do something dangerous or that they might get violent?

00:46:32.240 Well, you know, you see by the fruits.

00:46:36.100 I mean, this is very alarming.

00:46:38.820 In Canada, this is crazy.

00:46:42.220 Yeah.

00:46:42.500 Who knows?

00:46:43.640 At this point, who knows?

00:46:45.240 It's lawlessness.

00:46:47.300 You know, this seems like it's a wild, wild west.

00:46:50.360 We've heard that term from politicians a lot, lawlessness.

00:46:54.120 They talk about the protesters.

00:46:55.660 They talk about the Pawlowskis. 0.98

00:46:57.060 They talk about the Kutz blockade.

00:46:59.580 They call all of this lawlessness.

00:47:01.460 But I think the real lawlessness is very much in the courts, is in the persecution of your family.

00:47:05.920 So you were out within about 14 hours, I think it was.

00:47:10.180 Sarah Miller working very hard to secure your release.

00:47:13.520 Have you spoken with her?

00:47:14.660 Do you have any updates from your brother who, unlike you, is still behind bars?

00:47:18.740 Well, I'm still waiting for the updates.

00:47:21.680 They gave me a charge.

00:47:24.960 Even though we did certain community hours, she denied them.

00:47:29.800 So that's another thing.

00:47:31.540 Like, how can she just deny when we did the community hours?

00:47:35.580 So this is a malicious persecution, okay?

00:47:39.160 They want to silence any opposition, any person that doesn't go with their rhetoric.

00:47:45.360 I've seen this.

00:47:46.400 I've seen this growing up all the time in Poland when it used to be communism.

00:47:50.440 It's the same tactics, the same intimidations, the same lawlessness, the same disrespect and disregard to the law of Canada.

00:47:59.500 So, unbelievable.

00:48:01.520 You know, what's the sad thing is that we came to a point in Canada where parents are teaching the children now that the police, it's a, don't become a police officer.

00:48:13.140 Because that is shameful and disrespectful.

00:48:16.200 That's actually bare.

00:48:17.860 You know, this is terrible.

00:48:19.060 That's kind of like what I experienced growing up, again, behind the Iron Curtain.

00:48:24.900 People just did not respect the police because there was such an abuse of power and disregard to law.

00:48:30.800 Well, it's certainly sad to see these things that so many people, including your family, moved away from.

00:48:36.840 Government overreach, authoritarianism, police that are corrupt and can't be trusted, making their way to Canada.

00:48:42.960 Very happy to see that you are out of jail, hoping Pastor Archer will join you soon.

00:48:46.900 Dawood, thank you so much for this update.

00:48:48.880 And I'm sure we'll be seeing you soon.

00:48:50.500 For everyone out there, thank you so much for joining us for this update.
