Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ The RCMP's arrest of David Menzies was so egregious, even the legacy media condemned it... sorta

00:00:00.120 Hello, my friends. I do a big post-mortem today of David Menzies' arrest.

00:00:05.340 I show you a lot of video clips from other news networks.

00:00:08.240 I show you what some senior police say.

00:00:10.780 I show you some crazy tweets from a few of the folks who say,

00:00:14.400 oh, David should have been arrested. I'll take you through it all.

00:00:17.420 I want you to see it with your eyes, though, because so much of this story is visual.

00:00:27.680 And on shows like today's show, I think you really want to see it with your eyes,

00:00:31.340 not just hear it with your ears.

00:00:33.740 All right, here's today's podcast.

00:00:44.360 Tonight, the fallout of the false arrest of David Menzies continues to reverberate.

00:00:55.260 It's January 10th, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.

00:00:58.500 You fighting for freedom!

00:01:01.240 Shame on you, you censorious bug!

00:01:04.540 Well, it's been a couple of days, and 15 million people have watched the video of David Menzies,

00:01:21.700 politely but firmly, putting two questions to the deputy prime minister of this country

00:01:26.500 about a matter of public interest, why the liberal government will not criminalize a terrorist group,

00:01:32.220 the Islamic Republican Guard Corps,

00:01:34.240 and the false arrests and the lies about it perpetrated by the RCMP and the New York Regional Police.

00:01:40.720 15 million people.

00:01:43.340 I've watched it, I guess, four times, so slightly less than 15 million individual people.

00:01:48.960 I've re-watched it because it's riveting.

00:01:51.300 It's very short, it's only three minutes long,

00:01:53.180 but so much happens in there,

00:01:55.320 and it's a miracle that was all caught on tape.

00:01:59.040 I'll just show it to you again, and you'll see why.

00:02:01.360 Take a look at this three-minute video.

00:02:02.760 Ms. Freeland, how come the IRDC is not a terrorist group?

00:02:08.100 Why is your government supporting Islamo-Nationality? 0.97

00:02:11.960 What?

00:02:12.540 You've been missed.

00:02:13.640 What are you doing?

00:02:14.960 You're under arrest for a law.

00:02:16.240 Sir, why are you pushing me?

00:02:18.160 You're under arrest for assault.

00:02:19.600 Who are you?

00:02:20.100 You're under arrest for assault.

00:02:22.140 What are you talking about?

00:02:23.860 Police, you're under arrest for assault.

00:02:25.700 How am I under arrest?

00:02:26.240 You bumped into me.

00:02:27.380 You pushed into me.

00:02:28.360 You bumped, I was just scrubbing.

00:02:29.640 I got my credentials here, and you just bumped into me.

00:02:33.060 So, excuse me.

00:02:33.740 Police, you're under arrest for pushing me.

00:02:35.020 What is your name in your bag?

00:02:37.440 What is your name in your bag?

00:02:39.020 You've been told you're under arrest.

00:02:40.540 Why am I under arrest?

00:02:42.840 He, he, he, he brought my raise.

00:02:46.240 What, I was just scrubbing, uh, Christian Freeland.

00:02:49.960 I'm a police officer.

00:02:51.180 You're under arrest.

00:02:52.120 What is your name in your badge?

00:02:53.280 You've been told me I'm assaulting a police officer.

00:02:54.700 How is that possible?

00:02:55.700 Okay.

00:02:56.140 Because you assaulted me three years ago when Blackface was international. 0.56

00:03:00.160 I was very aggressive with traffic.

00:03:02.220 You mean I was asking questions aggressively?

00:03:05.260 No, no, your actions were.

00:03:06.680 You were almost pushing everybody over.

00:03:08.860 That's what I'm saying.

00:03:10.160 Lincoln, you got this on video, right?

00:03:11.880 He's saying I'm pushing people over?

00:03:13.520 Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

00:03:13.960 That's an absolute falsehood.

00:03:15.540 There were, there were people who were shuffled off.

00:03:16.840 So now it appeared that way.

00:03:18.140 That's what you're saying, officer?

00:03:19.000 It appeared that was pushing people.

00:03:20.480 I wasn't, I didn't touch a single person.

00:03:22.000 That was a little bit aggressive for what was happening.

00:03:23.800 Get that, you got it, you got, you're under arrest.

00:03:25.720 Please take the microphone out of my face.

00:03:27.140 Well, I'd like a, I'd like an ongoing record of this.

00:03:29.680 Can I have the microphone?

00:03:31.000 Can I have the microphone?

00:03:32.000 Can I have the microphone?

00:03:33.120 Can you give, can you give, can I have the microphone?

00:03:35.760 Take your hand out of it.

00:03:37.760 Why am I, why am I, why am I under arrest?

00:03:40.240 I'm just doing like, stop resisting.

00:03:42.400 You don't need to resist, sir.

00:03:43.800 I don't have to say anything.

00:03:45.280 You know the, you know, you know the truth.

00:03:47.020 I have nothing to hide, officer.

00:03:49.760 Welcome to Black Faces Canada.

00:03:52.680 This is what they do to journalists.

00:03:54.560 I was merely scrumming Minister Freeland, and a RCMP officer blocked me,

00:04:00.720 and evidently this is now a trumped-up charge of assault, folks.

00:04:04.260 I didn't come here to cause any trouble.

00:04:06.420 I came here to do my job, and now I'm handcuffed.

00:04:11.480 This is your Canada now, folks.

00:04:15.220 This is the Gestapo taking blackface's orders. 0.98

00:04:19.540 Outrageous.

00:04:20.180 And meanwhile, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is not a terrorist organization.

00:04:27.600 It's not a terrorist organization.

00:04:30.040 And these liberals have the audacity to show up at a vigil for a plane in which almost 200 people were killed.

00:04:38.680 57 Canadians, one unborn child, by the way.

00:04:42.160 And look at this.

00:04:43.560 They don't want, it is against the law, in Black Faces Canada to ask insensitive questions.

00:04:50.140 Impolite questions.

00:04:51.700 So, a Canadian government that props up an Islamo-fascist regime, that's okay. 0.98

00:05:00.000 But if you ask questions about that, that's not okay.

00:05:04.600 This is an absolute outrage.

00:05:07.440 I didn't come here to cause trouble, folks.

00:05:09.420 I just came here to ask questions.

00:05:10.720 You're going to have to back up a little bit, okay?

00:05:12.320 They're conducting an...

00:05:13.080 That's my cameraman, sir. He's not doing anything.

00:05:15.000 No, I just want to provide some space so that everybody's safe here, okay?

00:05:17.820 That is riveting because of the arrest.

00:05:20.500 It's not often that you see someone arrested for doing journalism.

00:05:25.060 But I think the reason it really went viral is because of the lying by the police, the gaslighting, they say,

00:05:32.120 where we all saw with our own eyes that David Menzies pushed no one.

00:05:36.740 We saw that one of the RCMP officers actually moved behind David and gently made him...

00:05:42.740 Like, got himself in the way so David and he made contact.

00:05:46.640 And then the insane reaction by that cop to accuse him of assaulting an officer and the other cop coming in and lying.

00:05:54.540 And the fact that they lied so naturally and smoothly, like it's second nature to them, like they've done it a hundred times before.

00:06:01.360 That's why that was so riveting, I think.

00:06:03.880 Of course, arresting a reporter is shocking news anytime.

00:06:06.860 But the fact that the police were so abusive and didn't care who knew, I think they do care who knew.

00:06:13.720 They just weren't really thinking through the fact that it was all being reported.

00:06:18.320 There were other details in there.

00:06:19.720 Like, why did they handcuff David?

00:06:21.800 You don't have to handcuff someone to arrest them.

00:06:24.200 Why did they handcuff him twice, actually?

00:06:26.160 Once with his hands behind his back and then once with his hands in front of him.

00:06:29.220 Did they think he was going to do what, fight six cops?

00:06:33.940 He didn't show a single aggressive tendency.

00:06:36.940 They were the aggressive ones.

00:06:38.500 They were the ones who assaulted him.

00:06:39.780 Why did they handcuff him?

00:06:41.580 Why did they smash his face up against the wall?

00:06:44.100 I hate that.

00:06:45.460 Why did they frog march him with a cop on either side of him to the police car?

00:06:50.400 Why?

00:06:51.600 And by the way, given that those were bodyguards for Chrystia Freeland,

00:06:56.500 why weren't they guarding her body?

00:06:59.440 I think maybe that was part of it, is that Chrystia Freeland came walking up with some assistant 0.99

00:07:04.040 and David Menzies did some journalism.

00:07:06.200 And these cops realized, yikes, we've been smoking or looking at our phones or something.

00:07:11.140 We haven't been doing our duty.

00:07:12.200 And they sort of ran in and over comments.

00:07:14.300 And I don't know why they did what they did.

00:07:16.880 But they didn't do it very well, did they?

00:07:18.580 They did it more in the manner of a police state.

00:07:21.080 And why didn't that one bald cop, the one who was so abusive,

00:07:24.720 why didn't he identify himself when asked repeatedly?

00:07:27.980 He was undercover, I suppose.

00:07:29.820 He was plainclothes.

00:07:30.860 He wasn't dressed in a police uniform.

00:07:33.260 So why didn't he identify himself after repeated questions?

00:07:38.760 I don't know.

00:07:40.180 Those are things that maybe we'll find out.

00:07:43.200 This isn't the first time that the RCMP have illegally roughed up David Menzies for no reason.

00:07:49.340 And the same RCMP bodyguard outfit.

00:07:53.300 Here, take a look at this from a couple of years ago when Justin Trudeau went to a Christmas party

00:07:57.920 during the lockdowns.

00:07:59.460 And David Menzies went to ask one simple question.

00:08:02.220 Why are you having a fundraising Christmas party when the rest of us are banned from getting together?

00:08:07.820 David was jumped by the RCMP bodyguards of Trudeau, beat up, dumped on the sidewalk.

00:08:14.300 No charges at all.

00:08:15.280 I want to show you how awful that was.

00:08:17.900 Take a look.

00:08:19.080 What are you doing?

00:08:19.800 Get off me. 0.85

00:08:21.500 Hey, I can.

00:08:24.060 Hey, this is assault.

00:08:25.820 I'm on a side.

00:08:27.200 What is this?

00:08:28.460 I'm on a sidewalk.

00:08:33.240 I'm on a sidewalk.

00:08:34.720 What is this?

00:08:35.840 You cannot touch me.

00:08:37.320 Not rushing or working.

00:08:39.280 Hey.

00:08:41.500 Are you kidding?

00:08:44.100 Are you kidding?

00:08:45.780 Let's go on me.

00:08:47.880 What is this?

00:08:50.300 You can't.

00:08:51.180 Am I under arrest?

00:08:52.820 Am I under arrest?

00:08:55.160 Am I under arrest?

00:08:56.740 Because otherwise you have no right.

00:09:02.720 I'm on a side.

00:09:04.720 I'm on a sidewalk.

00:09:06.180 Huh?

00:09:07.780 What's your life?

00:09:08.720 I'm in Trudeau.

00:09:10.100 I'm in Trudeau.

00:09:12.100 Get off of me.

00:09:20.820 Guys, relax.

00:09:25.780 I don't know if they knew they were being filmed there also.

00:09:31.360 They obviously don't care.

00:09:33.100 We're suing them for that as well.

00:09:34.700 I see that the RCMP says they are reviewing the conduct from two days ago.

00:09:42.280 We know how that always ends with an exoneration.

00:09:44.760 I can't even think of an RCMP self-investigation that hasn't exonerated themselves.

00:09:50.400 It's interesting that they're reviewing their conduct in this matter, where David wasn't badly hurt.

00:09:56.320 He was embarrassed and he was illegally arrested and imprisoned, but he wasn't beat up.

00:10:02.040 They're not reviewing the matter two years ago that I just showed you.

00:10:05.840 The RCMP also reviewed their own shooting of Alexa LaVar.

00:10:09.640 Remember when they fired a tear gas gun at her?

00:10:14.300 Remember this?

00:10:23.800 There you go.

00:10:24.980 You all right?

00:10:25.700 Got shot.

00:10:27.940 Take care.

00:10:29.340 Bring her out. 1.00

00:10:29.940 Bring her out. 1.00

00:10:30.460 Come on.

00:10:31.540 Oh, my God.

00:10:33.840 No!

00:10:35.720 Yeah, the RCMP reviewed that and said, oh, we're fine.

00:10:38.760 Yeah, no problem.

00:10:40.120 I've checked a couple of times.

00:10:41.580 I'm going to stop checking now, but there's not a peep on any of this from the Canadian Association of Journalists, Canadian Journalists for Free Expression.

00:10:48.340 None of it.

00:10:48.780 And by the way, not a peep from Chrystia Freeland.

00:10:51.600 Certainly not in the moment.

00:10:52.940 I've seen online some people say, oh, she must have been terrified by David.

00:10:56.760 Well, she certainly didn't seem terrified.

00:10:58.780 She didn't say a word to him.

00:11:00.660 She didn't hide. 0.97

00:11:01.800 She didn't call for help.

00:11:02.880 In fact, as David was beat up, Chrystia Freeland smirked in her smirky way and kept on walking. 1.00

00:11:10.140 The police were doing this as her agents on her behalf to protect her.

00:11:15.680 Why didn't she stop in the moment? 0.87

00:11:17.400 Maybe it happened too quickly.

00:11:19.080 But it's been two days now.

00:11:20.420 Why hasn't she said a word?

00:11:21.720 Does she agree with what they did to David?

00:11:24.340 Does she think it's fine?

00:11:25.900 The police themselves no longer think it's fine.

00:11:28.340 They dropped any charges against David.

00:11:33.400 David says that they told him we're not pressing charges, but that's not really how it works in Canada.

00:11:38.400 You don't need the victim of a crime to press charges, especially when there's so many witnesses to what happened.

00:11:44.600 The reason they're not proceeding against David is because nothing happened, not because that victim, that bald cop, he wasn't assaulted at all.

00:11:51.780 We all saw it.

00:11:53.660 It's interesting.

00:11:54.680 I've watched a lot of media coverage.

00:11:56.420 It's the first time that regime media have contacted me at Rebel News in years.

00:12:02.360 It's such a huge story.

00:12:04.400 Like I say, 15 million views on Twitter alone.

00:12:07.280 I guess they decided they wanted some of those clicks.

00:12:09.500 I want to show you a few different reports.

00:12:12.320 The first one is from CTV.

00:12:14.400 It was actually not bad.

00:12:16.400 And my favorite part of it was they talked to two retired cops, one of them very senior, a retired Ontario provincial police commissioner.

00:12:24.080 Listen to what those two cops have to say in the context of this larger report.

00:12:28.420 Take a look.

00:12:29.140 In a statement, Rebel News says we have retained legal counsel and expect to sue the RCMP, York Regional Police, and Freeland as soon as this week for false arrest, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution, and assault.

00:12:41.560 The deputy prime minister's office says they won't comment on matters of Freeland security, while the RCMP says it's looking into the incident and the actions of all parties.

00:12:50.820 He was certainly crowding the minister, but certainly not in any way threatening her.

00:12:57.700 And I just thought it was totally unnecessary by the police officer to actually stop and arrest him.

00:13:03.220 Menzies has been arrested at least four times while working for Rebel News, which describes itself as a generally conservative media outlet.

00:13:10.920 In 2019, he was forcibly removed from an Andrew Scheer campaign event.

00:13:14.960 Then again in 2021, following an encounter with Conservative MP Melissa Lantzman. 0.99

00:13:19.840 You are a thug. 1.00

00:13:21.320 You are a thug. 1.00

00:13:22.080 What are your names? 0.97

00:13:23.120 And in December 2021, there was this incident involving members of the prime minister's RCMP detail.

00:13:29.520 Certainly all the RCMP officers know who Mr. Menzies is as well.

00:13:33.040 So this didn't come as a surprise to anybody.

00:13:35.760 So the debate will be, was it an assault?

00:13:39.580 When the arrest was affected, was it too aggressive?

00:13:42.780 Those cops were excellent.

00:13:44.740 They said, well, maybe he was crowding her.

00:13:46.660 I don't know how one person crowds two people on the sidewalk, but he was walking with the microphone.

00:13:53.240 But he said, yeah, both cops said this absolutely was not normal conduct by the RCMP.

00:13:59.080 Now, the CBC wouldn't bother interviewing senior cops or retired cops or ex-cops because they want to put everything in woke context.

00:14:08.820 And the thing about 75-year-old retired OPP commissioners is they're not going to give you a woke answer.

00:14:14.720 Let me look at, let me show you the CBC report.

00:14:17.600 They really are atrocious over them.

00:14:20.340 They call David a Rebel News personality.

00:14:24.620 Now, it's true David has a big personality, but they just use that word because they absolutely refuse to call him a journalist or a reporter, some weird point of pride.

00:14:34.660 Rebel News personality, David Menzies, was arrested Monday for allegedly assaulting a police officer

00:14:40.740 while trying to ask finance minister Chrystia Freeland questions about the government's decision to leave the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps off the designated terrorist entity list.

00:14:50.840 That's actually not a bad report other than they just will not call him a reporter.

00:14:56.100 But why?

00:14:56.980 As I think I've told you before, David Menzies is actually the only reporter in our entire company who did go to journalism school.

00:15:02.960 That was years ago before they became woke ideological factories.

00:15:06.820 He has a journalism degree.

00:15:09.960 He's a member of the Independent Press Gallery.

00:15:12.340 He's been writing and doing journalism for, I don't know, close to 40 years, I would think.

00:15:18.460 He practices every day as a full-time professional journalist.

00:15:21.940 Why would they not call him a journalist?

00:15:24.640 And do they think it's theirs to give or not?

00:15:28.180 It's such forced language.

00:15:30.740 I want to show you this video where you can...

00:15:34.120 It's very interesting.

00:15:35.080 This next video I'm going to show you is from CBC.

00:15:36.820 The first part of it is some reporter who is reading from a teleprompter's script and the

00:15:41.700 language is just so forced.

00:15:43.780 They actually say a man who identified himself as a journalist.

00:15:49.020 Are you saying he was an imposter?

00:15:51.540 They never say...

00:15:52.760 By the way, they never say a man who identifies himself as a woman.

00:15:57.540 And there are plenty of those these days.

00:16:00.340 Those are...

00:16:01.060 They call them transgender women or they just call them women.

00:16:04.640 They'll have pictures of blokes, full-out men, sometimes with beards or whatever, and they'll

00:16:10.060 say she or her or women.

00:16:13.060 They'll go through that deception.

00:16:15.260 Those aren't imposters.

00:16:16.600 But they'll call David a man who identified himself as a journalist.

00:16:21.440 They're so weird, the CBC.

00:16:24.060 See, they won't call Hamas terrorists terrorists, even though it is a legal fact, they're on the

00:16:28.940 terrorist list. 0.53

00:16:29.940 They won't call transgender women men.

00:16:34.120 And they won't allow David Menzies, a professional journalist, to call himself a journalist.

00:16:38.620 Who wrote that script?

00:16:39.720 It's so forced.

00:16:40.700 But it's different from the journalist they interview, Kate McKenna, who's not on a script.

00:16:46.700 Take a look at this video for a couple minutes.

00:16:48.760 The RCMP is facing criticism for arresting a man who identified himself as a journalist.

00:16:53.940 David Menzies works for Rebel News.

00:16:56.180 He tried to ask the Deputy Prime Minister some questions yesterday in Richmond Hill, Ontario,

00:17:01.040 when the arrest happened.

00:17:02.660 The CBC's Kate McKenna is following the story in Ottawa, and she joins us now live.

00:17:06.380 So, Kate, what can you tell us about this incident?

00:17:08.580 So, just to kind of reiterate a little bit of what we saw in that video, we saw that

00:17:13.120 Menzies tried to ask a question to Chrystia Freeland when he's blocked by the RCMP's security

00:17:18.660 detail, and then told that he's under arrest.

00:17:21.700 And he responds by saying, well, he was just asking questions and moves to show his credentials

00:17:25.800 to the RCMP detail.

00:17:28.740 That video was released by Rebel News.

00:17:32.300 It's not the entire video.

00:17:33.840 The full version of the video goes on to show Mr. Menzies being arrested by York Regional

00:17:40.020 Police.

00:17:41.380 We did reach out to that police service that said that he was later released for having

00:17:47.800 not posed a credible threat to the public, and he was released without conditions.

00:17:55.120 Now, David Menzies is a reporter for Rebel News, which is a media organization that prides

00:18:01.360 itself on its own website of being outside of mainstream media.

00:18:06.000 It presents itself as having a conservative worldview.

00:18:11.280 But this move from the RCMP detail is receiving quite a bit of criticism online and from some

00:18:17.820 prominent people for how Mr. Menzies was treated by police.

00:18:22.940 It was also criticized by the leader of the Conservative Party, Pierre Polyev, who posted

00:18:28.840 on X, formerly known as Twitter, saying this is the state of freedom of the press in Canada

00:18:35.300 in 2024.

00:18:37.300 Now, it is worth noting that this is not the first time Menzies has been arrested in trying 0.99

00:18:43.520 to speak to politicians.

00:18:45.040 In fact, even prior to today, there was already a website that was set up intended to fundraise

00:18:51.040 on behalf of Menzies when he is arrested.

00:18:54.940 And, you know, it's also happened when he's talked to conservative politicians.

00:18:58.680 For instance, he was forcibly removed from an Andrew Scheer event as well as a Melissa

00:19:03.380 Lantzman event in 2021.

00:19:06.260 But Ezra Levant, the publisher of the website, is saying that they are considering legal action

00:19:11.940 and they're also fundraising for that legal action on a website that's been set up following

00:19:18.480 or not following, but being promoted as part of this this arrest that happened yesterday.

00:19:23.980 The RCMP has not responded to a request for comment.

00:19:27.140 Hey, by the way, did you catch her?

00:19:28.940 She accidentally said David Menzies is a reporter for Rebel News.

00:19:34.640 Oops.

00:19:34.940 You know why?

00:19:36.060 Because he actually is.

00:19:37.580 And it takes a lot of weird mental effort to fake it and say he's a personality who identifies

00:19:43.500 as a journalist.

00:19:45.160 I mean, he does have a personality other than unlike a lot of those government drones.

00:19:49.100 Now, the CBC did not make the mistake, again, of calling him a reporter.

00:19:54.080 And they certainly didn't make the mistake of calling on retired senior policemen to talk

00:19:58.640 about the arrest.

00:19:59.540 They brought on the worst people in the country, political pundits and hacks and journalists.

00:20:03.500 Here's some wackadoodle from Montreal who says, no, no, no.

00:20:07.400 What happened here was a gender thing. 1.00

00:20:10.180 You see, you have to look at it through a feminist lens because David Menzies is a man.

00:20:15.220 Hey, how dare you assume his gender, Missy? 1.00

00:20:18.440 Because David Menzies is a man and Freeland is a woman. 0.94

00:20:21.880 How dare you assume her gender?

00:20:23.460 It must have been harassment or something?

00:20:27.500 I think there are so many different things that need to be taken into consideration.

00:20:33.260 It's true that what we see in the video, he's walking, walking for her.

00:20:38.840 He did arrive very fast in a way that can make a person feel, you know, jumpy.

00:20:43.960 And that's probably part of what happened.

00:20:46.820 And if you make a person feel jumpy and they see you there with rebel news that they don't,

00:20:51.100 you know, consider you a real journalist, they might escalate more than if they saw a CBC mic.

00:20:56.720 That might have been part of the very, because it happens in a snap, a couple of seconds of what happened.

00:21:02.100 There is a way for security to make sure that a person leaves an elected official personal space

00:21:09.120 while they're asking questions without arresting them.

00:21:12.020 And that's not what ensued.

00:21:14.420 And so that's also an issue.

00:21:16.520 There's a third issue that is not necessarily directly related to the video that I just want to put out there,

00:21:23.080 is that there are a lot of women in politics who are being arrested, sorry, harassed physically by citizens. 1.00

00:21:31.920 I want to follow them everywhere.

00:21:33.660 And there is a question that needs to be asked in terms of if that citizen decides to become a journalist,

00:21:40.420 then is the harassment something that becomes, you know, a professional thing that we cannot say anything about?

00:21:47.780 And so there are gender dynamics here. 1.00

00:21:50.120 There's police overstepping.

00:21:52.460 There's the issue of the reputation of rebel news and that specific person's reputation.

00:21:56.800 And then there's the issue of, is there a way to make sure that, you know, when journalists ask questions to a politician,

00:22:03.960 they leave them personal space without arresting the journalist who's being maybe a little bit too, coming too close, too fast.

00:22:11.740 And so there's all of those things that could have been unfolded, that could have unfolded differently for sure.

00:22:17.220 Yeah, I'll remember when, I'll remember to use that line when they go after, I don't know, Danielle Smith or Michelle Ellsworth.

00:22:23.000 How dare you?

00:22:24.240 You're just doing that because she's a woman. 1.00

00:22:27.240 The next person they talk to is some NDP thug.

00:22:30.600 And I call him a thug because he says that David Menzies deserved what he got because he was being deliberately confrontational with security.

00:22:39.340 David wasn't even interacting with security.

00:22:41.080 He didn't even know they were there until they ran up behind him and bumped into him.

00:22:44.800 And take a look at this.

00:22:45.860 Listen, I mean, it's, I don't want to do a sports instant replay thing here on the video,

00:22:50.580 but you wonder sometimes if the individual in question is deliberately being confrontational with security detail in a way,

00:22:58.600 to your point, you know, even alluding to yourself, David, would not be, you know,

00:23:02.900 it's clear when it's an accident versus someone who's trying to be confrontational for the purpose of the format that these individuals are engaged in

00:23:11.860 and the subsequent fundraising campaigns and social media attention that it garners among a particular audience.

00:23:18.580 And it's perhaps not to be ignored that.

00:23:23.360 And we've mentioned it a few times that the conservative deputy leader now of all people,

00:23:28.040 then candidate Melissa Lansman was also involved in a similar incident.

00:23:31.600 And so when you see a pattern begin to emerge, you do start to question the way that the individual behaves.

00:23:38.160 You start to wonder what, you know, how the individual is being perceived.

00:23:42.740 I suspect that there's a conversation to be had about whether, you know, the security detail needs to be better briefed about individuals like this,

00:23:51.200 if they are going to be getting into these types of sort of clickbaity, if you'll forgive the expression, confrontations with politicians.

00:23:57.860 But, yeah, it's a very fine line.

00:24:00.680 But this is an unfortunate result, I think, of the climate that we're in.

00:24:04.300 That's very different than being in the House of Commons with accredited journalists scrumming a former MP to stick with the example that you drew out just a moment ago.

00:24:13.260 Yeah. What a lying kook. 0.98

00:24:14.680 15 million people saw the truth. 0.97

00:24:16.720 David wasn't being confrontational with security at all.

00:24:18.580 He didn't even know security was there until they grabbed him and said, you're under arrest for assaulting us.

00:24:24.200 So what are we going to do about all this?

00:24:27.460 Well, we're going to sue them.

00:24:29.500 Of course we are.

00:24:31.340 We have to.

00:24:33.420 Because we have to stand by our reporters.

00:24:36.520 We have to show David Menzies that we support him.

00:24:39.160 We have to send the CBC, sorry, not the CBC, the RCMP and other police investors that they can't do this anymore.

00:24:45.740 And we need them to hear it from a judge because they really don't care if David says so.

00:24:52.000 They beat him up several times.

00:24:55.300 You know, the reaction online has been overwhelmingly supportive, I should say.

00:24:59.160 I showed you some of the CBC's worst reporting because I want you to know how awful those government journalists are.

00:25:05.120 There's been some whining about Rebel News.

00:25:07.060 Some people say, well, I don't like Rebel News, but this is wrong.

00:25:10.680 Okay, fine.

00:25:11.400 But there's been some really weird team police tweets.

00:25:14.760 Like here's one from Dwayne Bratt, who's a professor in Calgary.

00:25:18.920 Menzies conducts ambush interviews.

00:25:22.460 Rebel News are activists, not journalists.

00:25:25.880 And no surprise that they are fundraising off of it.

00:25:29.440 But, and this is really important, guys.

00:25:32.240 Menzies should never have been arrested and roughed up by the police.

00:25:34.840 Hey, thanks for that.

00:25:36.260 But by the way, what does an ambush mean?

00:25:38.880 I mean, did he jump out of the bushes or something?

00:25:41.480 He was standing on a public sidewalk outside an event, a public event, and a public person came up.

00:25:47.920 And he publicly identified himself with his microphone flash, with his credentials.

00:25:53.280 I mean, by ambush, do you mean that he simply didn't send in the question in advance?

00:25:58.380 An ambush.

00:26:00.040 And the question surely was not an ambush.

00:26:02.180 It absolutely had to do with the event there.

00:26:04.960 And are we activists?

00:26:06.140 Well, I suppose we are activists, but certainly no more than the CBC.

00:26:10.220 Are we fundraisers?

00:26:12.000 Well, we are fundraising because we need to hire a lawyer to fight back.

00:26:14.840 We don't work for the government like Dwayne Bratt does.

00:26:17.360 You know, Kian Bexty, our alumnus, had an interesting point that we have to do journalism on the street because we are banned by the government from official press conferences.

00:26:28.920 Here's what Kian wrote.

00:26:29.680 He said, want to know the reason David Menzies was asking Freeland questions on a sidewalk in the way that he was?

00:26:38.720 You know, those tactics you find offensive?

00:26:41.140 It is because independent journalists are barred from the parliamentary press gallery by the CBC, CTV, Global News, Radio Canada, Media Cartel.

00:26:48.440 He's exactly right.

00:26:49.940 I would love to go to press conferences and actually put a question to Chrystia Freeland,

00:26:54.140 but they would have the RCMP frog march us off of Harlan Hill.

00:26:57.960 They have.

00:26:59.760 Here's another weird one, and I'm just showing you these because there's so few of them.

00:27:03.580 I want to mention them.

00:27:05.420 Miro Cernetic, who used to be a reporter with the Globe and Mail, surprised me by saying,

00:27:10.180 I agree with the police response.

00:27:13.660 You don't get to do this with a cabinet minister, man or woman.

00:27:18.540 What?

00:27:19.220 To do what?

00:27:20.100 To ask questions?

00:27:21.140 You don't get to ask questions of cabinet ministers?

00:27:26.100 This is from a former reporter.

00:27:28.040 Would he say that about Doug Ford or Stephen Harper or any conservative?

00:27:31.180 Of course not.

00:27:31.920 I don't know.

00:27:32.220 Maybe he's just trying to be contrarian.

00:27:34.660 Now, foreigners are not so weird.

00:27:36.740 And a lot of what I've shown you is just this Canadian cartel,

00:27:40.340 this little clubby journalistic elite that hates rebel news.

00:27:44.180 And we don't like them.

00:27:45.140 We're on the cool kids team.

00:27:46.600 It's like that old movie Heathers about mean girls in school. 1.00

00:27:49.880 But foreign reporters who have no dog in this hunt, they've covered this straight on.

00:27:55.440 Rakshan Fernando did a big analysis in Australia.

00:27:58.520 And here's Russell Brand in the UK.

00:28:00.980 This guy cracks me up.

00:28:02.340 He always has, ever since I saw him in the movies.

00:28:05.340 Listen to Russell Brand.

00:28:06.580 I love how he makes fun of Chrystia Freeland and the irony.

00:28:10.140 He calls it a sarcastic last name, Freeland.

00:28:13.860 Yeah, I think he's right.

00:28:14.800 Take a look.

00:28:15.100 And maybe the reason that Justin Trudeau is not popular is because of extraordinary moments like this.

00:28:21.660 Did you see when Rebel News tried to interview Chrystia Freeland?

00:28:26.500 Chrystia Freeland, she of the sarcastic name.

00:28:29.340 Chrystia Freeland is a significant political figure in Canada, Deputy Prime Minister. 0.60

00:28:34.880 Of course, you will be familiar, I believe, with her ancestral connections to a little old party called the Nazis.

00:28:42.060 I think that's like, I mean, you know, we're still on YouTube.

00:28:44.780 I think her grandfather was in the Nazis.

00:28:46.860 Is that right?

00:28:47.460 And certainly in Parliament in Canada, they did applaud an actual Nazi.

00:28:53.060 Have a look at this moment where Rebel News reporter David Menzies wants to interview, or at least doorstep.

00:28:59.920 Now, I myself have been on the wrong end of the media numerous times.

00:29:04.620 The legacy media can be extremely disruptive and intrusive.

00:29:09.320 They do not respect your personal space.

00:29:11.600 But have a look at this.

00:29:12.740 This is simply, in a sense, an attempt to interview Chrystia Freeland,

00:29:17.260 who you would imagine might be, from her name, an Elphine utopian, 0.98

00:29:22.280 governing one of the principalities or shires in a Tolkien-esque wonderland,

00:29:26.340 but seems, in reality, to be somewhat affiliated with Nazism.

00:29:31.980 Here's a look at her acolytes preventing her from being confronted with a microphone. 0.98

00:29:37.040 Why is your government supporting Islamo-Nazism? 0.99

00:29:41.180 You've been...

00:29:42.140 What do you mean?

00:29:44.040 You're under arrest for assault.

00:29:45.360 Why are you pushing me?

00:29:46.980 You're under arrest for assault.

00:29:48.620 You're under arrest for assault.

00:29:50.460 It's much more aggressive, isn't it, than what he did.

00:29:52.400 He was sort of, like, rather meekly and in an adorable fedora,

00:29:56.700 trying to sort of use a...

00:29:58.420 Excuse me, why exactly?

00:29:59.900 I can't even remember what his question was.

00:30:02.940 But he was slammed in...

00:30:04.500 I'm going to go back a little bit and have a look at that.

00:30:06.200 Because look at the...

00:30:06.980 Like, the moment where he's trying to interview an elected official,

00:30:10.480 paid for by taxpayer money,

00:30:12.980 that doesn't look that confronting.

00:30:15.180 Let's have a look.

00:30:16.040 Oh, excuse me.

00:30:16.360 Why is your government supporting Islamo-Nazism? 0.99

00:30:19.860 Right?

00:30:20.680 You've been mixed to it.

00:30:21.720 What do you mean?

00:30:22.920 You're under arrest for assault?

00:30:24.500 What, sir?

00:30:24.960 Why are you pushing me?

00:30:26.020 You're under arrest for assault.

00:30:27.920 You're under arrest for assault.

00:30:30.380 So that person there, presumably is a police officer,

00:30:34.760 has arrested him for assault.

00:30:36.060 Did he get arrested for assault?

00:30:37.640 That was pretty...

00:30:38.380 That was pretty heavy, wasn't it?

00:30:40.460 Night Prowler 636.

00:30:42.040 The Nazis were lefty. 0.51

00:30:44.160 Yeah, socialist, not right-wing.

00:30:45.900 Yes, national socialism.

00:30:47.060 Okay, but I think we can agree amongst ourselves

00:30:50.700 that the Nazis were a bad force in global politics

00:30:55.320 due to, among other things, that hideous genocide.

00:30:59.660 Now, let's have a...

00:31:00.960 Let's just see how the rest of this tape plays out.

00:31:02.580 Police, you're under arrest for assault.

00:31:05.120 How am I under arrest?

00:31:06.000 You bumped into me.

00:31:07.120 You pushed into me, sir.

00:31:08.120 You bumped...

00:31:08.480 I was just...

00:31:09.080 Oh, look, that's how...

00:31:10.240 That's just fun.

00:31:11.980 I've never seen that before.

00:31:12.940 You pushed into me, sir.

00:31:14.120 He knows already that he's gone too far, doesn't he?

00:31:16.840 You pushed into me, sir,

00:31:18.860 which, as you know,

00:31:20.620 is assault.

00:31:21.820 Like, I think they shouldn't be able to hide behind legal language.

00:31:24.560 I think they should have...

00:31:25.140 You are under arrest for pushing into me, sir.

00:31:27.920 If they had to use the sort of playground discourse

00:31:30.100 that they use when they're beginning to retract

00:31:32.460 their initial statement and apologise,

00:31:34.220 yeah, he's already starting to retract it.

00:31:36.520 Uh, it looks like they've got a legal fight there.

00:31:38.360 Stand with David.

00:31:39.300 God bless him.

00:31:39.980 Stand with David, and he's an adorable fedora.

00:31:42.260 I've got my credentials here,

00:31:44.240 and you just bumped into me.

00:31:45.980 So, excuse me.

00:31:46.640 Police, you're under arrest for pushing me.

00:31:47.940 What is your name in your bag?

00:31:50.360 He's all adrenalised, isn't he?

00:31:51.840 Police, you're under arrest for pushing me.

00:31:55.620 Sir, earlier when we paid scissor, paper, stones,

00:31:59.400 those scissors on your fingers,

00:32:01.440 although they were actually your scissors,

00:32:03.160 very much hurt the paper.

00:32:04.640 I mean, that's the most juvenile accusation I've encountered.

00:32:07.960 Well, like I say, the CBC was the worst,

00:32:11.340 and they had that first report

00:32:14.140 where they mistakenly called David Menzies a reporter,

00:32:16.940 but they had their punish panel,

00:32:18.740 and I showed you the NDP clip from already.

00:32:21.840 Here's a liberal hack who was running defence

00:32:24.820 for the police as well.

00:32:26.280 It's a very short clip.

00:32:27.200 Take a look.

00:32:27.860 It, you know, it was, as a layperson,

00:32:31.440 it seems not something that one would think

00:32:34.880 someone would get arrested for, I'll say.

00:32:38.080 But we also don't have the full context,

00:32:39.940 and I guess that will come out as the RCMP review it.

00:32:42.780 We don't have all the context.

00:32:44.760 We absolutely do have all the context.

00:32:47.460 He asked two questions and was arrested

00:32:49.640 and accused of assault.

00:32:50.700 That's all there is.

00:32:51.800 There was nothing before and after.

00:32:53.900 He was just put in a police car.

00:32:55.640 What an excuseologist.

00:32:57.520 Remember when the liberals used to care

00:32:59.140 about liberal values?

00:33:00.920 I do.

00:33:01.840 It's a long time ago, though.

00:33:03.480 Here's a clip from the host of the CBC

00:33:06.500 who said, no, no, no, this isn't about liberals.

00:33:09.220 It's about conservatives pouncing.

00:33:11.620 It's the conservatives' fault.

00:33:12.820 They jumped on this.

00:33:13.980 Yeah, Kate, just to stick with you,

00:33:15.260 the conservatives have jumped on this, right?

00:33:16.860 Because everything is an opportunity

00:33:18.240 to play wedge politics now.

00:33:20.060 Yeah, that was the guy.

00:33:21.400 I don't know if you remember that reporter.

00:33:23.720 He was the CBC reporter who,

00:33:26.080 during the election campaign,

00:33:28.560 Justin Trudeau bought him some poutine,

00:33:31.680 gave it to him,

00:33:32.700 and basically said out loud,

00:33:34.440 this is to bribe the press.

00:33:37.200 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. 1.00

00:33:38.720 And that idiot took it 1.00

00:33:40.300 and started eating it 1.00

00:33:41.900 instead of realizing

00:33:43.300 that was Trudeau being condescending

00:33:45.740 and abusive and dominant

00:33:47.400 and criticizing

00:33:49.320 and rubbing his face in it.

00:33:51.560 He said, no, yeah, 0.99

00:33:52.840 I'm absolutely happy to be your lapdog. 1.00

00:33:56.000 What a disgrace. 1.00

00:33:56.740 Remember this?

00:33:57.660 This is for you, David.

00:33:59.140 This is for you.

00:33:59.960 No, no, no, no, no.

00:34:01.140 What do you mean?

00:34:01.980 Hey, the liberal party always supports the CBC.

00:34:04.580 Well, those were some of the bad reactions,

00:34:09.200 but there was a good reaction, too.

00:34:10.220 The Conservative Party seems to have woken up.

00:34:12.220 Pierre Paulyev has done two tweets about the subject,

00:34:14.640 and then the Conservative Party did another tweet

00:34:17.460 talking about freedom of speech

00:34:18.800 and actually quoted us.

00:34:20.880 And then, of course,

00:34:21.640 they did a fundraiser about it,

00:34:23.780 which I suppose shows that they think

00:34:26.980 it's a winner with the base.

00:34:28.860 And one of their MPs actually asked

00:34:31.520 for a parliamentary inquiry into the subject

00:34:33.780 that was scotched by the NDP

00:34:36.620 and the block of McQuarrie, of course.

00:34:39.160 The Liberal Party must have noticed

00:34:40.800 that 15 million people saw this video

00:34:43.560 because they did a counterattack video.

00:34:46.520 Let me show you two.

00:34:47.400 I think it's pretty weak.

00:34:48.360 You are attacking our news organization.

00:34:50.460 Not you.

00:34:50.840 Can you give us a chance? 0.97

00:34:51.500 Your organization is terrible.

00:34:52.620 You are attacking our news organization. 0.99

00:34:53.600 Your organization is terrible.

00:34:54.920 Can you give us a chance to ask a question? 0.96

00:34:55.600 We have basically a liberal heckler

00:34:58.520 who snuck in here today.

00:34:59.800 These newspapers and the media 0.52

00:35:01.240 are totally dishonest people, folks.

00:35:03.080 Remember them.

00:35:03.780 So contrary to the false and dishonest reporting

00:35:06.280 of the liberal media.

00:35:08.000 Yeah, I think the media is the opposition party

00:35:10.120 in many ways.

00:35:10.980 I think CP should stop acting

00:35:12.880 as the communications arm of the PMO.

00:35:14.840 You know, when I look at the media,

00:35:16.860 how one-sided it is, how biased it is.

00:35:19.460 Well, first of all,

00:35:20.200 your question was typical of CBC, biased again.

00:35:23.620 Yeah, it is true that Pierre Polyev

00:35:25.780 pokes back at journalists sometimes.

00:35:27.580 And if you think that's bad,

00:35:29.940 you remember this one

00:35:30.820 where he was actually eating an apple.

00:35:33.440 And I love how journalists called this

00:35:36.040 intellectual bullying.

00:35:38.040 Take a look.

00:35:39.580 On the topic, I mean,

00:35:41.260 in terms of your sort of strategy currently,

00:35:43.820 you're obviously taking the populist pathway.

00:35:47.420 What does that mean?

00:35:48.340 Well, appealing to people's

00:35:52.760 more emotional levels, I would guess.

00:35:55.800 I mean, certainly you tap

00:35:57.840 very strong ideological language

00:36:00.920 quite frequently.

00:36:02.140 Like what?

00:36:04.500 Left wing, you know,

00:36:05.960 this and that, right wing,

00:36:07.440 I mean, it's that type of ideological thing.

00:36:10.200 I never really talk about left or right.

00:36:11.500 I don't really believe in that.

00:36:13.060 Okay.

00:36:13.800 A lot of people would say

00:36:15.640 that you're simply taking a page

00:36:17.080 out of the Donald Trump book.

00:36:19.280 Probably like which people would say that.

00:36:21.500 Well, I'm sure a great many Canadians, but...

00:36:25.040 Like who?

00:36:26.540 I don't know who, but...

00:36:28.120 Well, you're the one who asked the question,

00:36:29.580 so you must know somebody.

00:36:31.520 Okay.

00:36:32.540 I'm sure there's some out there,

00:36:34.060 but anyways,

00:36:34.740 the point of this question is,

00:36:36.840 I mean, why should Canadians 1.00

00:36:39.480 trust you with their vote

00:36:41.420 given, you know,

00:36:44.100 not just the sort of ideological inclination

00:36:46.980 in terms of taking the page

00:36:48.480 out of Donald Trump's book,

00:36:49.660 but also...

00:36:50.000 What are you talking about?

00:36:50.800 What page?

00:36:51.440 What page?

00:36:51.900 Can you give me a page?

00:36:52.620 Give me the page.

00:36:53.840 You keep saying that.

00:36:54.840 In terms of turning things

00:36:56.180 quite dramatically

00:36:56.900 in terms of Trudeau

00:36:58.600 and the left wing

00:37:00.080 and all of this,

00:37:00.800 I mean, you make quite a,

00:37:02.240 you know,

00:37:02.540 it's quite a play that you make on it.

00:37:05.280 So I'm just wondering.

00:37:05.780 I'm not sure.

00:37:06.300 I don't know what your question is.

00:37:08.520 Then forget that.

00:37:09.280 Why should Canadians 1.00

00:37:10.200 trust you with their vote?

00:37:12.960 Common sense.

00:37:14.400 Common sense

00:37:16.200 for a change.

00:37:18.200 We're going to make common sense

00:37:19.500 common in this country.

00:37:21.140 We don't have

00:37:21.720 any common sense

00:37:23.140 in the current government.

00:37:24.580 You know,

00:37:25.320 the guy prints $600 billion

00:37:26.940 and grows our money supply

00:37:28.780 by 32%

00:37:29.840 in three years.

00:37:31.960 That's growing the money

00:37:33.100 eight times faster

00:37:34.960 than the economy.

00:37:36.300 No wonder we have

00:37:37.380 the worst inflation

00:37:38.200 in four decades.

00:37:40.360 I'm going to cap spending

00:37:41.500 cut waste

00:37:42.100 so that we can balance

00:37:43.400 the budget

00:37:43.800 and bring down inflation

00:37:44.720 and interest rates.

00:37:45.520 You'll want to be able

00:37:46.040 to pay your mortgage again.

00:37:47.120 You want to be able

00:37:47.640 to afford rent.

00:37:48.520 Then you have to vote

00:37:49.440 for Pierre Polyev

00:37:50.260 because I'm the only one

00:37:51.780 with a common sense plan

00:37:54.120 that will bring back

00:37:55.420 the buying power

00:37:56.300 of your paycheck.

00:37:56.940 Yeah, the difference

00:37:58.100 between intellectual bullying

00:38:00.020 and actual bullying

00:38:01.340 is the difference

00:38:02.400 between Pierre Polyev

00:38:03.720 talking back to reporters

00:38:05.400 and the Liberal Party

00:38:07.460 throwing our reporters

00:38:08.540 in the back of a police car

00:38:09.620 with handcuffs.

00:38:10.940 But yeah,

00:38:11.360 the Liberals are trying

00:38:12.140 to have some sort

00:38:12.880 of moral equivalency there.

00:38:15.460 By the way,

00:38:16.340 I should tell you

00:38:17.140 we're going to win

00:38:18.960 our lawsuit here.

00:38:20.900 We have some lawsuits

00:38:22.180 that we know

00:38:23.000 are long shots

00:38:23.800 before we go fight them.

00:38:24.960 We fight them

00:38:25.420 because we know

00:38:26.080 we have to.

00:38:27.080 If we don't fight them,

00:38:27.920 no one else will.

00:38:29.000 I suppose this is

00:38:30.040 a we-must-fight battle,

00:38:32.200 but I think it's also

00:38:33.280 a really winnable battle, too.

00:38:36.140 Just like we won

00:38:37.200 with the Election Debates Commission

00:38:38.840 that banned us twice

00:38:40.260 from attending.

00:38:42.000 Those were sort of

00:38:43.160 long shots,

00:38:43.800 I should say,

00:38:44.360 but in retrospect,

00:38:45.260 they look great

00:38:45.900 and they look like,

00:38:46.880 of course,

00:38:47.280 we should have been allowed in.

00:38:48.660 This one isn't even

00:38:49.680 clearer.

00:38:50.260 I spoke last night

00:38:51.300 with a very senior

00:38:52.700 criminal lawyer

00:38:53.500 in this country.

00:38:54.340 You would recognize

00:38:55.120 his name

00:38:55.580 if I sent it to you.

00:38:57.720 And he said,

00:38:58.460 absolutely.

00:38:59.440 In fact,

00:38:59.800 you saw those police

00:39:00.840 on the CTV interview

00:39:02.340 saying it was

00:39:02.940 police misconduct.

00:39:04.420 The fact that the police

00:39:05.280 dropped all the charges

00:39:06.660 and are reviewing

00:39:07.280 their own officer

00:39:08.040 shows that you know

00:39:09.420 they know

00:39:09.820 they did something wrong.

00:39:11.480 We're going to win this one

00:39:12.920 and we're going to win it

00:39:14.160 for David,

00:39:15.400 but more importantly,

00:39:16.280 we're going to win it

00:39:17.320 to set a precedent

00:39:18.240 that the politicization

00:39:20.180 of Canadian police

00:39:21.460 must stop.

00:39:24.160 I think that's another reason

00:39:25.240 this video went so viral.

00:39:26.900 Now,

00:39:27.160 obviously,

00:39:27.600 with 15 million views,

00:39:29.140 it's being watched

00:39:29.660 by more than just Canadians.

00:39:31.460 But in Canada,

00:39:32.400 we've been through

00:39:32.960 three months of police

00:39:34.380 not doing their jobs,

00:39:36.420 three months of

00:39:37.220 two-tiered policing,

00:39:39.220 three months of police

00:39:40.180 helping pro-Hamas 1.00

00:39:42.760 protesters,

00:39:43.600 bringing coffee

00:39:45.260 to masked thugs 0.97

00:39:46.920 intimidating Jewish neighborhoods. 0.93

00:39:48.920 That's what happened

00:39:49.540 in Toronto.

00:39:50.900 Three months of police

00:39:51.740 standing by

00:39:52.440 is in Toronto

00:39:53.160 while a masked Hamas thug

00:39:54.880 threatened to put you

00:39:55.700 six feet under.

00:39:56.880 Remember that clip?

00:39:57.720 Take a look.

00:39:58.200 You know what?

00:39:59.680 I'm telling you,

00:40:00.340 because if you touch it,

00:40:01.100 I'm putting it on the phone.

00:40:03.060 You come near me,

00:40:03.920 I'll put you lay down

00:40:04.660 on the phone.

00:40:05.640 I'll lay you asleep.

00:40:06.780 I'll put you six feet deep.

00:40:08.440 I'll put you six feet deep.

00:40:09.740 Yeah, so we've had

00:40:11.820 three months of watching

00:40:12.860 the police do not

00:40:14.320 a bloody thing

00:40:15.340 to actually do their jobs.

00:40:17.320 And then the instant

00:40:18.660 a reporter asks

00:40:19.640 a prickly question

00:40:20.580 of a liberal,

00:40:21.560 he gets handcuffed

00:40:22.800 and frog-marched off

00:40:23.820 to a car.

00:40:24.460 I think people are getting

00:40:25.420 a little sick

00:40:26.120 of two-tiered policing.

00:40:27.940 We're going to win

00:40:28.800 for that

00:40:29.320 and so many other reasons.

00:40:30.920 If you want to help us,

00:40:32.680 go to standwithdavid.com.

00:40:39.740 Hey, welcome back.

00:40:47.220 Your letters to me.

00:40:48.580 Smoking7 says,

00:40:50.080 the RCMP officer

00:40:51.260 touches the reporter

00:40:52.260 and immediately calls out,

00:40:53.440 assault?

00:40:54.160 He needs to be fired.

00:40:55.300 This is Canada, not Iran.

00:40:57.740 Yeah, I don't know

00:40:58.540 if that in itself

00:40:59.380 is a fireable offense,

00:41:00.820 but it certainly should be

00:41:01.900 a disciplinary offense.

00:41:04.300 And what scares me,

00:41:05.680 what scared me most

00:41:06.360 about the thing,

00:41:06.780 I'll tell you honestly,

00:41:07.760 is how easily

00:41:08.700 and naturally

00:41:09.540 and credibly,

00:41:11.400 these cops immediately lied

00:41:13.040 and lied together.

00:41:14.880 It's only because

00:41:15.720 we have the video

00:41:16.500 that we can prove

00:41:17.340 that they're liars. 0.50

00:41:18.460 But they immediately,

00:41:19.040 oh, you did it.

00:41:19.920 Oh, you were very aggressive.

00:41:21.260 Oh, you were bullying.

00:41:22.100 Oh, you were pushing people.

00:41:23.120 It just both immediately

00:41:24.560 snapped into lying mode

00:41:27.180 and they were lying

00:41:28.100 with a straight face. 0.99

00:41:30.180 They're very accomplished liars. 0.96

00:41:32.620 But that, I mean, 0.97

00:41:33.200 that blew me away.

00:41:34.020 The fact that they were

00:41:34.600 mean to David

00:41:35.260 is not shocking to me.

00:41:36.980 It's not good,

00:41:37.660 but it's not shocking.

00:41:38.340 The fact that they arrested him

00:41:40.440 is not good,

00:41:41.240 but it's not shocking.

00:41:42.380 But I was truly shocked

00:41:44.060 by how calmly they lied.

00:41:46.860 I think they need

00:41:48.320 to be investigated.

00:41:49.320 Have they lied before?

00:41:51.680 Have they lied

00:41:52.540 a hundred times before?

00:41:54.860 Have they lied under oath?

00:41:57.260 And if the answer is yes

00:41:58.640 to those questions,

00:41:59.960 maybe they should be fired.

00:42:00.920 Habib M19 says,

00:42:04.260 David is a legend

00:42:05.100 still reporting

00:42:05.840 while in handcuffs

00:42:06.660 being escorted by police.

00:42:08.100 A legend.

00:42:09.200 That was one of my favorite

00:42:10.380 parts of this is

00:42:11.220 he wouldn't stop.

00:42:13.400 He wouldn't stop working.

00:42:14.980 He wouldn't stop asking questions.

00:42:16.640 That one cop had to say,

00:42:17.700 you're under arrest now.

00:42:18.760 Stop interviewing me.

00:42:20.380 And as he was frog-marched

00:42:21.880 to the police car

00:42:22.540 and Lincoln Jay,

00:42:24.100 our cameraman,

00:42:24.680 was walking backwards,

00:42:25.940 David was giving a speech.

00:42:27.560 I mean, David's unstoppable.

00:42:29.380 It was incredible.

00:42:31.480 Harsh Realist UK says,

00:42:33.100 massive misstep

00:42:33.940 by the Canadian authorities.

00:42:35.480 Support for Rebel News

00:42:36.320 will grow exponentially.

00:42:38.000 Well, I think

00:42:38.780 the reason they're targeting

00:42:40.280 Rebel News

00:42:40.820 is because we're critics

00:42:42.120 and we're not controlled

00:42:43.560 by them

00:42:43.960 and we're independent.

00:42:44.660 And the fact that they

00:42:47.100 come for us

00:42:48.200 and attack us, 0.58

00:42:49.100 I think it confirms

00:42:49.980 in people's minds

00:42:50.840 that we're over the target.

00:42:52.420 I mean, no one shoots

00:42:53.100 at a dead duck, right?

00:42:54.860 I think the fact that

00:42:55.900 they're so obsessed

00:42:56.600 with Rebel News,

00:42:57.740 I mean, I hate the fact

00:42:58.680 that they physically

00:42:59.960 abuse us

00:43:00.780 and I hate the fact

00:43:01.520 that they have beat up

00:43:02.660 David twice now.

00:43:03.480 This last time,

00:43:04.100 not so badly,

00:43:04.740 but the time I showed you

00:43:06.060 from two years ago

00:43:06.860 was terrible.

00:43:08.640 I think we have to fight back

00:43:10.120 and I hope our support

00:43:11.160 does grow.

00:43:13.200 Justin Trudeau uses

00:43:14.200 a carrot and a stick

00:43:15.280 to control the media.

00:43:16.580 The carrot,

00:43:17.660 hundreds of millions

00:43:18.580 of dollars in subsidies

00:43:19.820 and grants,

00:43:20.640 is enough to buy off

00:43:21.800 about 99% of the media.

00:43:23.900 But for the 1% 0.78

00:43:24.720 that don't take the bribe, 0.95

00:43:26.900 he uses the stick.

00:43:28.280 Both the carrot

00:43:29.180 and the stick are wrong.

00:43:31.380 That's our show for today.

00:43:32.960 Until tomorrow,

00:43:33.760 on behalf of all of us

00:43:34.620 here at Rebel World

00:43:35.280 headquarters to you at home,

00:43:36.360 good night

00:43:36.700 and keep fighting for freedom.
