Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ They tried calling truckers racist and sexist. It didn’t work. So now they’re calling them violent.

00:00:00.320 Hello, my friends. Today, I take you through two nearly identical stories, one in CTV,

00:00:04.680 one in CBC, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, both of which say we have to worry about violence

00:00:10.000 from the convoy, talking to experts who can't really point to any, but they just have a

00:00:14.560 feeling in their bones, and they're experts, unlike you. So listen to the experts. You

00:00:20.340 get the point. That's the show before I get you to it. I want to invite you to become

00:00:25.180 a subscriber to Rebel News Plus. You know why? Because that's the video version of the

00:00:28.520 podcast. I want you to see the visuals of this convoy. We've got our reporter, Mocha

00:00:34.100 Bazirgan, on the scene. He's got a drone, which just means he's getting great, great aerial

00:00:38.300 shots. So just go to rebelnewsplus.com, click subscribe. It's eight bucks a month. That's

00:00:42.360 half the price of Netflix. And by the way, that supports us because we don't take a dime from

00:00:46.320 Trudeau. All right, here's today's podcast.

00:00:58.520 Tonight, they're panicking. They tried calling the truckers racist and sexist, and it didn't

00:01:08.460 work. So now they're calling them violent. It's January 26th, and this is the Ezra LeVant

00:01:14.200 Show. We're still not back in our regular studio, but we've made sort of a homemade replica in another

00:01:40.700 part of our office. Hopefully, we'll be back in there tomorrow or the next day. I want to talk

00:01:45.720 about the most important story in our country right now. I'm talking about the convoy, of course. Our

00:01:49.820 chief videographer, Mocha Bazirgan, is on the road with the truckers. So is our junior rebel in

00:01:57.480 training, Celine. You can see all of their reports at convoyreports.com. Some of them are produced

00:02:04.000 videos. Some are just quick raw video clips from the road. Mocha has a drone. Those are very exciting

00:02:09.660 shots. But the most important part is they're actually there. They're on the scene. They're

00:02:14.800 actually amongst the truckers talking to them and the people gathering by the thousand along the side

00:02:19.760 of the road all across this country. I like to hear Mocha's excitement. I think he cares a lot

00:02:24.420 about freedom. It's one of the reasons he lives here, by the way, instead of back in Turkey, where he

00:02:29.220 was taken as a teenager to the police station twice because of his YouTube videos. So for him to see the

00:02:37.040 freedom on the streets in an organic, natural way, it's very exciting.

00:02:43.180 Hi, guys. How are you doing, guys? I'm doing good. Thanks for coming. Good to see you. So good. I'm amazing now

00:02:50.800 that you're here. Yeah, it's my first time here. Welcome to Medicine Hat. Great. Are you from here? I am. Can you

00:02:57.240 tell me, is this the busiest it has ever been in this city? This is the busiest it's ever been. That's amazing. How do you

00:03:02.360 feel about the car boy? I love it. We're uniting. It's how it's supposed to be. What do you think

00:03:07.040 it's going to happen once they reach Ottawa? We better get freedom. We better get freedom.

00:03:12.400 What's your message to all the Canadians watching all across Canada right now? Love one another. Let's

00:03:16.920 stick together and let's get our freedoms back. Well, thank you so much. Thank you, Rebel. Thank you,

00:03:27.500 guys. Thank you for everything you guys do. Honestly, I appreciate it. Worldwide. Thank you so much. Thank you.

00:03:35.980 Mocha's our chief videographer and he's from Turkey. So as you can guess, he's Muslim, which makes me laugh 1.00

00:03:42.480 all the harder that the Islamist lobby group, the NCCM, the National Council of Canadian Muslims, condemned the 0.54

00:03:50.440 trucker convoy as racist and Islamophobic or whatever. What a joke. I genuinely don't even know if they wrote their

00:03:58.160 own press release or if it just came straight from Gerald Butts, who was making the same points on Twitter

00:04:03.880 right beforehand. Of course, it's a damnable lie. It's a smear. It's a defamation by people who were nowhere near the 0.92

00:04:10.260 convoy, but know that if they smear Trudeau's enemies for him, they will be rewarded, including

00:04:15.880 Trudeau financially. It's so gross, but so utterly predictable. That's Trudeau and no mainstream media 0.82

00:04:23.600 called it out. Maybe it's because they're on Trudeau's payroll also with the media bailout or

00:04:29.360 maybe because they hate the convoy too, or maybe because they don't want to be called Islamophobic

00:04:34.520 if they disagree with the bullies at the NCCM making that aspersion. The NCCM loves Omar Khadr,

00:04:42.080 by the way, and so does Trudeau, as you know. Trudeau gave that al-Qaeda terrorist a public

00:04:48.360 apology on your behalf and gave him 10.5 million of your dollars too. Here's what I tweeted today in

00:04:56.720 reply. I said, why won't Justin Trudeau treat the truckers as respectfully as he treats the terrorist

00:05:04.480 Omar Khadr? But seriously, have you ever heard Trudeau speak about a real threat to Canada,

00:05:10.560 foreign or domestic, in the language that he and his cronies use to demonize peaceful democratic

00:05:16.680 citizens who just don't share his views? I mean, besides the case of Omar Khadr, look how obsequious 0.99

00:05:22.720 Trudeau was towards the Chinese Communist Party as they held two Canadian hostages for a thousand

00:05:28.940 days. Trudeau would never be as cruel and abusive to them, to the Chinese communists, as he is to

00:05:34.740 say to the Canadians he dislikes.

00:05:36.740 Trudeau, on sent que la sécurité est accrue autour de vous. On sent que c'est plus dangereux

00:05:42.980 peut-être en ce moment pour vous?

00:05:44.060 Trudeau, on est dans un moment difficile parce qu'on est en train de prendre des choix importants. On est

00:05:50.700 en train de décider que oui, on va s'en sortir de cette pandémie par la vaccination. Puis on en

00:05:56.300 connaît tous des gens qui sont en train d'hésiter un petit peu. On va continuer d'essayer de les

00:06:01.020 convaincre. Mais il y a aussi des gens qui sont farouchement opposés à la vaccination.

00:06:05.180 Qui sont extrémistes.

00:06:06.180 Qui ne croient pas dans la science, qui sont souvent misogynes, qui sont souvent racistes

00:06:10.580 aussi. C'est un petit groupe, mais qui prend de la place. Et là, il faut faire un choix

00:06:17.420 en tant que leader, en tant que pays. Est-ce qu'on tolère ces gens-là ou est-ce qu'on dit

00:06:22.580 bien, voyons, la plupart des gens, presque 80 % des Québécois ont fait ce qu'il fallait

00:06:27.280 faire. Se sont fait vacciner. On veut revenir aux choses qu'on aime faire. C'est pas ces gens-là

00:06:33.280 qui vont nous bloquer. Maintenant, on est dans une quatrième vague qui est presque entièrement

00:06:38.540 des gens non-vaccinés qui remplissent nos hôpitaux à travers le pays. À un moment donné,

00:06:43.460 il faut mettre son pied à terre pour dire, excusez-moi là, mais il n'y a pas de débat

00:06:47.220 sur la science.

00:06:48.240 And the thing is, these days, when Trudeau and Gerald Butts signal that they have an

00:06:53.340 enemy, the usual suspects get right to work. I want to take you through a CTV story.

00:06:59.900 You'd think they were the CBC state broadcaster, given how slavishly they repeat Trudeau's

00:07:05.840 talking points. I'll take you through it. Here, take a look. So many angry people. Experts

00:07:12.980 say online conversation around trucker convoy veering into dangerous territory. Right there,

00:07:19.440 it's incredible. An expert says it's dangerous. Is there anything or anyone more discredited

00:07:25.500 in the past two years than someone calling themselves an expert? But an expert in what?

00:07:31.440 In how you're supposed to protest? You can't be angry. Is that it, really? Because Trudeau

00:07:37.840 himself is angry quite a lot these days. They are putting at risk their own kids, and they're

00:07:45.080 putting at risk our kids as well. Those people are putting us all at risk. Those people are

00:07:51.600 putting us all at risk. Did the experts say that anger was bad for Trudeau, or is Trudeau

00:07:58.120 allowed to be angry with us? We just can't be angry with him. What does this expert say about our

00:08:04.520 feelings? Are there certain feelings we're not allowed to feel towards Trudeau? We're allowed

00:08:10.020 to feel love, admiration, gratitude, obedience? And are there also some feelings we're not allowed

00:08:16.980 to have? What does the expert say? Is CTV tone policing a peaceful protest? If so, that's a new

00:08:24.100 one. I remember when F.U.C.K. Harper was celebrated in every media outlet in the country. They loved it.

00:08:31.680 Let's read this CTV news story. As a growing group of truckers and supporters make their way to Ottawa in

00:08:38.720 a protest against vaccine mandates, experts say the rhetoric online is concerning concerning the

00:08:45.120 convoy is getting increasingly worrisome. Okay, so it's not even the convoy. It's some people online

00:08:52.800 talking about the convoy. I wonder if they mean Gerald Butts and Justin Trudeau. They're angry about

00:08:58.700 the convoy. I don't think that's who they meant, though. The movement has gathered steam nationwide as

00:09:06.660 video show highway gatherings in support of the truckers, but some experts worry the online conversation

00:09:13.000 surrounding the convoy has veered into dangerous territory. What's dangerous territory? Have there

00:09:20.440 been death threats? That could be dangerous territory. Have organizers called for violence? No.

00:09:27.100 There are people who genuinely believe that this is overreach by the federal government, but there are

00:09:33.240 also a lot of other groups that are involved, and individuals who are involved, who have a long

00:09:39.540 history of very overheated rhetoric. Kurt Phillips, founder and former lead writer for the Anti-Racist

00:09:47.400 Canada, told ctvnews.ca in a recent phone interview. Overheated rhetoric, eh? Wow. Watch out for that,

00:09:56.080 people. But is this one of those experts that they're talking about, Kurt Phillips?

00:10:00.580 I know who Kurt Phillips is. He's an Antifa sympathizer. You know, the violent thugs on the

00:10:09.440 left? In fact, believe it or not, he was a secret Antifa sympathizer while working as a schoolteacher.

00:10:20.180 He was active online using a fake online identity. It was insane, and we at Rebel News revealed who he

00:10:27.360 was, remember this? Of incompetence, the CBC's fifth estate has accidentally released the identity of a

00:10:33.880 longtime Antifa informant. This is someone who works with, employs, and shares information with members

00:10:40.700 and supporters of the violent Antifa movement. The CBC was intending to cooperate with Phillips to conceal

00:10:47.440 his identity. However, when facial images were matched up, none other than Kurt Phillips, a Catholic

00:10:53.300 schoolteacher in Drumheller, Alberta, was exposed as the mastermind behind ARK Collective. ARK is a blog that was

00:11:00.720 curated by Phillips for over a decade until he recently resigned after his mask was removed. Phillips' blog has

00:11:08.660 shared the personal information, the addresses, photos of homes, names, and faces of people who Phillips unilaterally

00:11:15.520 determines our fascists. Rebel News reached out to Phillips. We sent him a list of questions with

00:11:21.320 hopes that we could get his side of the story. However, that went completely ignored.

00:11:25.980 So, he's their expert. Well, maybe he's an expert in violence, but not in a good way. He has been a

00:11:34.300 defender and supporter of violence, not just word violence, but real-life actual violence. That's what

00:11:39.720 Antifa does. That's Kurt Phillips. Do you think CTV doesn't know that? What is Kurt Phillips' expertise

00:11:45.900 other than he smears conservatives and supports violent leftists in Antifa?

00:11:50.900 Even though the organizers say it will be peaceful, Phillips said he's seen people online calling the

00:11:58.000 trucker convoy Canada's version of the U.S. Capitol insurrection on January 6, 2021, for the truckers to

00:12:04.600 ram their trucks into Parliament and people encouraging the hanging of politicians. Really?

00:12:12.120 It's odd that CTV doesn't actually show you any of that, do they? Or cite it. But the thing about

00:12:17.700 random anonymous online comments is that they could literally be written by anyone,

00:12:22.520 anyone who is known to whip up online hatred using a fake identity, like, you know,

00:12:28.200 Kurt Phillips, in fact. I wonder if he wrote those comments he's condemning. Frankly, I wonder if they

00:12:34.420 even exist. We were never shown them by CTV. This is journalism, apparently. But just a question,

00:12:42.000 was January 26th about ramming trucks into things? Is that what happened down there?

00:12:47.700 It's been more than a year since the arrests on January 6th, and I am unaware of anyone being

00:13:15.500 charged with anything violent, actually, unless you've heard of something I haven't. I don't

00:13:21.020 think anyone's been charged with insurrection, actually. I have seen a couple of people plead

00:13:26.600 guilty to the lesser charge of illegal parading, as in they meandered through the Capitol and they

00:13:33.880 weren't supposed to. No ramming with trucks, though. That actually didn't happen. Some of the organizers

00:13:40.200 are trying to get people to dial back the rhetoric, but the genie's already out of the bottle, he said.

00:13:45.140 People are energized in an incredible way right now, and it's hard to see something not happening.

00:13:50.040 I don't know if it would be on the scale of January 26th in the United States, but there are so many

00:13:54.980 angry people. So this is their expert, and his expertise is a weird fantasy where his enemies are as

00:14:03.500 violent as his actual Antifa friends are. Hey, by the way, do you know who organized this trucker

00:14:11.900 convoy? Not some violent Antifa activist. This woman, Tamara Lynch. A Métis woman from Western 0.99

00:14:21.500 Canada. Lovely woman. Here, just watch for a bit of her herself, because CTV won't show her to you. 0.99

00:14:27.940 I wonder why CTV interviewed some former Antifa promoter, but hasn't even shown you the face,

00:14:37.220 let alone the voice, let alone talk to the actual organizer of the convoy. That's weird, isn't it?

00:14:44.100 I'll read some more. Peter Smith, a journalist working with the Canadian Anti-Hate Network,

00:14:49.080 said he's seeing a lot of similarities between this latest convoy and a similar truck convoy from 2019

00:14:54.460 that was meant to protest federal pipeline policies. Sure, Peter Smith, a journalist. Yeah,

00:15:01.800 no, sorry. The Canadian Anti-Hate Network isn't a media company. Peter Smith, if that's his real name,

00:15:07.620 is not a journalist. They're a smear company. Now, I know that because, again, they got a quarter

00:15:13.060 million dollar grant from Justin Trudeau specifically to attack Trudeau's enemies. We've read the contract.

00:15:19.240 We got it through an access to information request. And part of that agreement, for which they received

00:15:24.140 more than a quarter million dollars, they would literally smear and complain against and attack,

00:15:29.960 not just write about, but to lodge complaints and become activists. So this is CTV's expert,

00:15:35.800 and they actually call him a journalist. Here's how the story ends on CTV. Both Smith and Phillips

00:15:41.180 are concerned for what might happen when the truckers arrive in Ottawa this weekend.

00:15:46.200 I think the government needs to take this seriously, Phillips said. So two guys who are both

00:15:52.620 funded by the government, funded to hate the government's enemies, say the government should

00:15:59.040 crack down on the opponents of the government. And CTV calls them experts. I wonder why CTV didn't

00:16:05.540 disclose Peter Smith's funding. I wonder why CTV didn't disclose Kurt Phillips and his Antifa past and

00:16:13.440 his personal track record of making fake identities to post things online. That seems pretty relevant,

00:16:19.120 don't you think? I wonder why CTV didn't interview that lovely young Métis woman who actually is

00:16:24.920 organizing the whole thing. I wonder why CTV didn't talk to anyone, in fact, who was involved.

00:16:32.540 I wonder why. I see that liberal activists and some so-called journalists are going through the

00:16:40.560 crowdfunding list on the GoFundMe page for the truckers and doing a kind of opposition research

00:16:45.700 on private citizens who are donating to it. That's one of the reasons why here at Rebel News we never

00:16:50.980 publish the names of our donors publicly. They would be attacked by Trudeau's smear merchants both in the

00:16:57.020 Liberal Party and the media. That's what they're doing to the truckers here. I wonder why the media party

00:17:03.440 never does this kind of forensic accounting when it's a protest on the left. They never ask who's paying

00:17:10.540 for a left-wing protest. Who's paying Kurt Phillips and Peter Smith? I told you Trudeau is. But so many

00:17:17.540 protests in Canada are funded not just by Trudeau but by left-wing foreign lobby groups, especially

00:17:24.180 environmentalist groups. I've never seen an investigation into that by the media, have you?

00:17:28.540 So that was CTV. Here's CBC. Of course, they're just awful. So that was CTV. Here's CBC.

00:17:38.540 Stephanie Carvin, a security analyst and associate professor at Carleton University in Ottawa,

00:17:44.720 she said she has seen groups cite plans to smash through walls, bring rope to hang politicians,

00:17:54.940 and generally cause violence. While it's not clear how serious any of these threats are,

00:18:01.860 Carvin is urging caution. From a national security perspective, I do think a lot of people do have

00:18:07.900 January 6th in mind, she said. When you have a convergence of a number of angry people who are

00:18:14.380 angry at an establishment, and a symbol of that establishment, the parliament buildings,

00:18:18.720 right there, there is, I think, the potential, not the guarantee, but the potential for things to

00:18:23.460 escalate. So we have another expert on our hands, a security analyst, saying the exact same thing as

00:18:30.120 CTV said. Of course, she works for the government, too. She hates conservatives, too. It's her calling 0.99

00:18:35.300 card. What are the odds that the entire public policy establishment at precisely the same time

00:18:40.740 says precisely the same things in every media outlet? What are the odds? It's like on a long weekend when

00:18:47.320 every gas station raises its gas price at the same time. What a coincidence. Hey, I got a question.

00:18:53.460 for our security expert here. Did we hear from her, Stephanie Colvin, or Kurt Phillips, or Peter

00:19:00.180 Smith, when more than 50 churches were burnt or vandalized in Canada last year? Did we, did we,

00:19:06.440 I don't recall hearing, why not? How about a couple years ago when environmentalist groups blocked roads

00:19:12.520 and railways? Did we hear from these security analysts about angry protesters and who was funding

00:19:17.800 them? Or how about when Black Lives Matter burnt down a dozen U.S. inner cities and then started their 0.93

00:19:24.480 antics in Canada? Did we hear any cautions back then? Any investigations into who was funding them?

00:19:30.860 No? No tales of anonymous online chatter? It tells you all you need to know. Never trust the mainstream media.

00:19:40.080 And anyone who calls themselves an expert? Hmm. Well, that's just your cue

00:19:46.080 to be twice as skeptical. Stay with us for more.

00:20:02.640 Well, joining us now from the route itself, embedded amongst convoys, he's pulled over

00:20:07.540 to get better reception and to focus on the conversation rather than the roads,

00:20:12.040 is our friend and chief videographer, Mocha Bazirkin, who's actually traveling

00:20:15.840 with a young Revlon training. Celine, Mocha, great to see you. How are the roads? How's the weather?

00:20:20.860 I hear it's chilly where you are. Let's start there. Where are you?

00:20:25.060 Well, I'm just an hour away from Winnipeg. I just pulled over where I found good internet connection.

00:20:31.140 The roads in general in Ontario are pretty good, decent. There's a lot of snow, but the roads are clear.

00:20:37.900 And in Manitoba, I remember, the weather was very treacherous. Zero visibility, dark ice, drifting snow.

00:20:47.780 Everything bad was in Manitoba in terms of road conditions.

00:20:51.800 But we have a very strong, very big vehicle, so it got us through those treacherous conditions.

00:20:59.840 Well, that's good to hear. I mean, it's important to keep up.

00:21:03.240 I mean, a cross-country journey is quite an adventure, especially during the winter.

00:21:06.760 Now, tell me, are there clumps of trucks?

00:21:12.740 Like, is it one large convoy? Are there different sort of motorcades?

00:21:17.840 Like, how many vehicles do you see when you're driving?

00:21:21.620 Are you surrounded on all sides?

00:21:23.480 Like, just give us a little bit of what it's actually like.

00:21:25.980 Well, I've been following the, I mean, we've been following the convoy since Calgary.

00:21:33.760 So, based on our experience, we saw that there is a huge lineup of a convoy, a big convoy, and then there are chunks of it.

00:21:44.520 Like, some people, like, let's say half of the convoy decides to pull over in, for example, Swift Current, and to do their business there, or sleep, because they can't find hotels or Airbnbs in the target area.

00:22:01.180 And now, same thing in Winnipeg, and same thing today as well.

00:22:06.660 We catch up with the convoy in Kenora, I think that's the town name.

00:22:11.360 And we saw a huge convoy, trucks don't stop coming, cars don't stop coming.

00:22:19.400 We've seen many, many vehicles with plates from Saskatchewan, Manitoba, BC, Alberta.

00:22:25.420 So, there are people with their own vehicles who are coming to Ottawa as well.

00:22:30.040 And local people also joined the convoy to a certain point, to a certain city, not all the way to Ottawa.

00:22:37.380 Then they turned back.

00:22:38.640 So, we've seen some of those trucks and cars coming from the opposite direction as well.

00:22:45.820 And we've interviewed people.

00:22:47.640 That's their account as well.

00:22:50.100 And I would say the cars and the trucks in total, I would say it's in the thousands.

00:22:59.660 I hear some people go very extremely high numbers, but I've been always a conservative when it comes to numbers.

00:23:07.600 Whether it be a number of people protesting or a number of vehicles participating in a convoy, I would keep it in the thousands.

00:23:16.900 And the fact remains that this is not the only convoy.

00:23:21.360 There are many convoy going on across the country that are joining the convoy.

00:23:27.060 And they're all going to come down to Ottawa.

00:23:33.240 So, when you add those numbers as well, we will see if it will reach the 10,000.

00:23:41.680 I mean, it's incredible the amount of hardware and metal on the streets.

00:23:49.040 I know that you and I have been talking about getting hotel rooms along the way.

00:23:52.820 Obviously, you have 1,000 vehicles of any sort moving into a town as small as, say, Kenora.

00:23:58.820 That's going to sop up all the hotel rooms, all the Airbnb's immediately.

00:24:04.060 Like you say, some of these guys sleep in their own trucks.

00:24:06.660 A lot of these trucks have a little sleeper cab, but it's quite a thing.

00:24:10.000 Now, one of the things that Sheila Gunn-Reed told us when she was covering it in Edmonton is that along the way, the Department of Transportation was requiring these truckers to pull over on way scales,

00:24:24.020 which is something you do with a fully loaded truck to make sure it's not overloaded, check the logs of the drivers, make sure they're getting enough sleep, et cetera.

00:24:31.260 But the way Sheila described it, it sounded like they were being punitive, that they were just doing this to harass the convoy.

00:24:37.280 I've also heard other reports in some places that the police are really friendly.

00:24:41.520 Have you had any observations of how authorities along the way have handled the convoy?

00:24:48.580 Well, it is true.

00:24:50.700 In Alberta, the government compelled the trucks to go through the scales, which caused an enormous delay, and we are still feeling the effects of that delay.

00:25:01.440 One of the worries is that my understanding from Celine, my co-worker, her father is also a truck driver, and she has informed me that truck drivers are compelled to take off and sleep after putting a certain amount of hours driving.

00:25:22.260 I think that's 40 hours, I think that's 40 hours, is that correct?

00:25:24.560 Yes, 40 hours.

00:25:26.100 So there's that concern, because if they are on the road for 40 hours and they can't make it to Ottawa, that is going to create problems for them.

00:25:33.400 I have not, police, I have not interacted with much.

00:25:39.100 They've been so far very minimal and maintaining order.

00:25:43.980 My understanding is that in Winnipeg, they did not allow the convoy to go to the parking lot or to the pit stop, the designated pit stop that they were coming to, due to overcrowding.

00:25:57.540 There were so many people there, so many cars, apparently police said this is too dangerous, they just can't enter with their, these long trucks, someone could get hurt.

00:26:09.900 So, and that caused an enormous traffic in Winnipeg, hours long, it caused us, like we just couldn't get through to the place, and you have seen our drone footage in Winnipeg, and how such an enormous traffic there was.

00:26:25.320 Yeah, that was incredible. I really love the drone footage you have.

00:26:29.280 Now, you mentioned you're traveling with a rebel in training, Celine, I understand she's next to you there.

00:26:33.180 We haven't met her yet. I wonder if you can move the cell phone upon which you're speaking, and we'll just say a quick hello, just because we haven't yet met her on the show.

00:26:43.240 In fact, hello, Celine, why don't you just introduce yourself to our rebel viewers? 0.99

00:26:50.740 Tell us a little bit of...

00:26:52.680 He says, can you introduce yourself?

00:26:54.580 Oh, yeah. Hi, my name is Celine. I'm from Calgary, a rebel in training, and I am with Mocha Visurgan on the way to Ottawa to document the PowerPoint, and everything that's going around her own life.

00:27:06.440 Well, that's great. I guess Mocha's got the headphones on, which is why you can't hear my questions.

00:27:11.380 Maybe we could have Celine's thoughts on it, not just as a rebel in training, but also as the daughter of a truck driver. 0.98

00:27:20.400 Is there a certain spirit of truckers that this taps into?

00:27:24.160 Because of all the different industries in the country, nurses, police, firemen, government workers, flight attendants, I mean, so many industries have had meek protests against the mandates.

00:27:36.520 Is there something about truckers that caused them to have the boldest protest yet?

00:27:41.740 I don't know if you can pass that question on to Celine. I know you've got the headphones on.

00:27:45.780 Ezra is asking if you, as a daughter of a truck driver, how do you feel about all this?

00:27:52.000 As you know, many people across other sectors have protested in a meek way, but truckers are really getting a, putting a strong step.

00:28:02.260 Yeah, I think it's, it's definitely something really near to my heart, considering that if, you know, my father does just do like that traveling within the country,

00:28:11.020 but, um, I know that if it comes down to this going through them, we're sure to limit it into prevention trucking for the next thing.

00:28:17.660 And if that's the case, then obviously that is not a choice that my father would like to make.

00:28:22.300 So in terms of respecting his choice for bodily autonomy, everybody else's choice, not just the truck reason that everybody else who, um, wants to just routine a piece of having choice,

00:28:33.960 having the ability to make a choice, a medical choice, any choice, um, I think is incredibly important.

00:28:39.280 So, I mean, I guess what I would just have to say to everybody out there is to just keep on going with this and to not stop the momentum and, um,

00:28:47.780 definitely tune in with Rebel News and people that are actually in the convoy who are following along and they're posting relevant material because they are a part of this movement.

00:28:55.960 They're a part of this group, uh, they're either a trucker or they're a supporter who's actually traveling with the convoy.

00:29:01.240 Um, or, you know, there's someone who's, who have, uh, donated in, um, I think that just speaks for itself.

00:29:07.180 It's not just truckers that are here that are a part of this.

00:29:10.240 It's very much, uh, so much, it's on a global scale, much bigger than people are able to even be able to, uh, comprehend, I believe.

00:29:18.460 Uh, just to be able to gather crowds from, you know, BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, everywhere.

00:29:25.840 There are people from everywhere.

00:29:27.000 We see plates that are, it's just really incredible and beautiful to see because I don't think that we have actually been able to unite in such a way.

00:29:34.180 Um, and it's been years that this has been going on for the restrictions and mandates and whatnot, and it's very helpful and it's a really beautiful thing to be a part of.

00:29:42.900 Celine Gallus, Rebel in Training, great to talk with you.

00:29:45.780 Thank you.

00:29:46.260 Back to you, Mocha.

00:29:47.540 You're the drone operator.

00:29:48.660 I love those visual shots.

00:29:50.900 You're showing a lot of, uh, vistas and it's quite a feast for the eyes, but I want to, uh, ask you one political question before I let you go and I don't want to delay you on the road.

00:29:59.700 Um, I, I did my monologue today about two stories, one in CTV, one on CBC, but they're really everywhere in the media that, um, you know, it's sort of funny, a couple of days ago the media party was saying, oh, don't worry about these protests, it's just a protest against driving conditions.

00:30:18.500 That was seriously the, the CBC's first report about truckers, oh, no, no, no, no, they're just upset about highway conditions.

00:30:25.480 They've gone from that to saying, oh, my God, it's going to be like the January 6th insurrection, they're going to ram their trucks into Parliament Hill, this is a terrorist movement.

00:30:34.840 And they're all saying the same thing at the same time.

00:30:38.240 They're not quoting any actual truckers or any organizers.

00:30:41.100 They're just quoting these government paid, quote, experts.

00:30:45.440 What do you make of the extreme demonization, uh, by the, by the entire political media establishment of the, of the truckers?

00:30:54.500 I mean, it just happened so quickly too.

00:30:56.920 Well, that's what they are.

00:30:58.580 That's their speciality.

00:31:00.260 That's, that's what they are experts on.

00:31:02.800 That's their expertise to quickly demonize people who are stepping out of the line.

00:31:08.620 And, yeah, it's, it seems very elitist to me.

00:31:13.140 Not that elitism, I mean, I'm not going to get into that, but I've been with the people, with the working people, with the hardworking people, with the people of this country, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba.

00:31:26.900 I've been through it.

00:31:28.280 And, um, everywhere, in every intersection, I've seen wonderful people, beautiful people.

00:31:33.820 I have said this in our last interview, because I've been traveling to Canada for a long time now.

00:31:41.500 I've been to almost everywhere.

00:31:43.840 Poland's a very big country.

00:31:45.680 And I, I will say it again.

00:31:48.760 Canada is composed of wonderful people.

00:31:52.080 That's what I have witnessed throughout the journey within the Convoy and with people who are supporting it.

00:31:58.060 You can't, you, you must have seen my interviews with them.

00:32:02.180 They are not, um, what the media is trying to paint them as racist or white supremacist or insurrectionist or, no, nothing like that.

00:32:10.100 They are normal people who have been told that they can't open their business, who have been told that their child has to wear a mask.

00:32:16.140 It's been two years now.

00:32:17.480 Who have been told that they can't, um, they will lose their job if they don't get the vaccine.

00:32:22.280 They've been, right, if you're unvaccinated right now in Canada, you can't even fly.

00:32:26.780 You can't go to a restaurant, like, this is the degree that the politicians, the ruling party has taken against them.

00:32:38.620 And they are, for the first time, having a national pushback, having a national protest against them and really showing their numbers, really showing, I mean, you have seen my videos.

00:32:50.960 It's composed of very diverse people, diverse communities.

00:32:55.420 People are tired.

00:32:56.740 That's the message that I'm getting.

00:32:58.500 I mean, we've been to a town with 8,000 population.

00:33:03.080 Half of the town was on the streets.

00:33:04.720 Which town was that?

00:33:08.260 Which town was that?

00:33:09.180 It was, um, Dryden.

00:33:11.000 Dryden.

00:33:11.940 You know, it's, it's funny.

00:33:13.160 Listening to you, I was thinking, because, uh, I, we talked about the fact that when you were in Turkey as a young man, you were arrested, or you were taken to the police station twice because of your YouTube videos.

00:33:24.140 And, uh, that's, I, I think you, you, you've had a lifelong love of freedom.

00:33:29.200 And it just makes me chuckle because one of Trudeau's funded attack groups said that the convoy is Islamophobic.

00:33:37.420 And I thought, well, I better check with MOCA, uh, to see if, uh, if that's true.

00:33:42.020 I know it's not true, but there are people of every, I mean, a lot of truckers are visible minorities.

00:33:46.700 A lot of truckers are Sikh for whatever reason.

00:33:49.040 It's just a fact.

00:33:49.940 And, but, but I think one of the tricks of the government is to project onto you their own sins.

00:33:55.820 So Trudeau dresses in blackface, he'll call you racist.

00:33:59.500 Trudeau groped a reporter named Rose Knight, he'll call you misogynist. 1.00

00:34:04.420 And, and here's my point.

00:34:06.000 Trudeau says this, Trudeau and his people, Gerald Butts and his media says, this convoy is a threat.

00:34:14.200 It's insurrectionist.

00:34:15.460 But who is the one who has upset our democracy, who has shut down parliament, who has shut down our civil liberties?

00:34:24.700 Once again, Trudeau is projecting his own sins on his critics.

00:34:29.660 These truckers have not violated anyone's liberties at all.

00:34:33.180 It's Trudeau and the establishment that have.

00:34:35.560 But he's putting, he's, he's very clever that way.

00:34:38.540 He accuses his opponents of what he's doing.

00:34:41.960 He cries out in pain as he hits others.

00:34:45.740 It's quite a move.

00:34:46.980 Last word to you, Mocha.

00:34:48.060 What's next?

00:34:49.140 Where are you off to next?

00:34:50.320 And, and what's the schedule looking like?

00:34:53.100 Well, we're off to Thunder Bay.

00:34:55.100 We're on our way to Thunder Bay.

00:34:56.760 We'll be there about one and a half hours.

00:34:59.620 But I have to tell, I have to say, this is just watching Canadian government acting out so weirdly like this and exaggerating things and just projecting things that are not true onto these peaceful people, these wonderful people that I have met, that I have interviewed.

00:35:19.380 Well, some of them are rebel fans, some of them knew me from a kilometer away, they knew me at, called my name.

00:35:26.880 Well, all I gotta say is, it's just funny because I, I, I was in Turkey when the coup attempt happened in 2016.

00:35:33.660 And, um, that night, 200 people died.

00:35:37.500 It was a total chaos.

00:35:39.460 Jets flying, um, lower, blowing the windows, tanks on the street running over people, um, police killing soldiers, soldier, opening fire on police, lynchings, um, helicopter, the parliament exploded.

00:35:53.400 All sort of crazy things happened.

00:35:55.640 It was a two year long trauma, two year long, um, state of emergency, unbelievably, everyone was getting jailed, fired, all this crazy stuff happened.

00:36:09.100 And yet still, some people in Turkey were saying that this was a teeter to Venezuel Erdogan.

00:36:14.620 Now, my point is that I've seen that, and then I see January 6th, and they called it an insurrection.

00:36:23.760 And then I see the trucking conduit, and the Canadian government's and the media's reaction to it, and it just makes me giggle.

00:36:32.740 It's just West, you know, first world, um, problems, I guess. 1.00

00:36:36.940 I don't know what to say.

00:36:38.360 It's, it's really funny.

00:36:40.200 Because they are, they are not used to facing resistance.

00:36:45.340 Yeah.

00:36:45.680 They are not used to it.

00:36:47.440 And of course, the P, the key point is, uh, what you described in Turkey was violent resistance.

00:36:53.580 With, with shootings and tanks and military weapons.

00:36:57.100 January 6th, they called it an insurrection.

00:36:59.800 No one's actually been charged with that.

00:37:01.600 It was quite modest.

00:37:02.620 But this trucking convoy is, by every measure, completely peaceful.

00:37:07.820 But they're trying to pass it off as the violent threat.

00:37:11.420 When Trudeau and the premiers are the ones who have sent police after people who are not wearing a mask,

00:37:17.640 or people who are not getting jabbed.

00:37:19.580 It's incredible.

00:37:20.220 And I take your point that it's sort of a first world problem to say, oh, my God, people are protesting.

00:37:25.520 This is a peaceful protest.

00:37:27.440 These truckers aren't even blocking the road.

00:37:29.700 Like, I've seen in other jurisdictions, truckers block an entire road as a political protest to slow down the rest of the truck.

00:37:37.000 That's, this, this convoy is not doing that.

00:37:39.440 Well, I tell you, Mok, it's great to have your perspective in that, that anecdote about what it was like in, in Turkey in the attempted coup is very illuminating.

00:37:48.340 But I think the commonality between Erdogan and Trudeau is this.

00:37:52.420 Both of them will use any incident, real or imagined, to demonize their opponents.

00:37:59.460 And then use that as an excuse to take rights away from their opponents.

00:38:03.560 I think there is an authoritarian commonality between Erdogan and Trudeau.

00:38:08.620 I don't think Trudeau is as bad yet.

00:38:10.600 He hasn't gotten away with as much yet.

00:38:12.640 But he has told us that China's basic dictatorship is the country he most admires.

00:38:17.800 So maybe he wants to get there.

00:38:19.340 Listen, my friend, I could talk with you at great length and, and, and we will talk more.

00:38:23.600 But I want to let you get back on the road, give our regards to Selene, the rebel in training. 0.63

00:38:29.700 Keep sending that footage.

00:38:31.180 I love the drone footage.

00:38:32.560 Keep interviewing people.

00:38:34.180 And we look forward to our next update.

00:38:36.980 Sure.

00:38:37.680 Thanks for having me.

00:38:38.760 Thanks for having us.

00:38:40.260 Right on.

00:38:41.340 Well, there you have it.

00:38:42.400 Mocha Bazirgan and Selene Galas on the road.

00:38:46.080 But now we're outside Thunder Bay reporting from the convoy.

00:38:50.040 For all of their reports, go to convoyreports.com.

00:38:53.940 You can chip in to help cover the costs of the journey from hotels to meals to that nice big car they're driving

00:38:59.680 so they don't slip off the road in the Canadian winter.

00:39:02.640 Stay with us.

00:39:03.720 More ahead.

00:39:17.580 Hey, welcome back.

00:39:18.480 Well, let me leave you with our video of the day.

00:39:37.960 Tamera Ugolini and the Toronto Board of Health scrubbing a vaccine reaction clip from their public archive.

00:39:46.680 They tried to hide grassroots reaction they didn't like.

00:39:51.140 I'll let you see for yourself until tomorrow.

00:39:53.380 On behalf of all of us here at Rubble World Headquarters, to you at home, good night.

00:39:57.360 Keep fighting for freedom.

00:39:58.400 And here's Tamera's vid.

00:39:59.720 Public health has something to hide and I smell a scandal.

00:40:03.060 The Toronto Board of Health has censored the personal account of an alleged vaccine injury.

00:40:08.700 And in today's report, I'm going to show you just how sneaky these bureaucrats can be. 1.00

00:40:14.480 For Rebel News, I'm Tamera Ugolini pointing out some fishy actions by the Toronto Board of Health a mere day and a half after the interview that I conducted with unofficial COVID data analyst Kelly Brown.

00:40:30.880 We, at the time, discussed the presentation that he delivered to the Toronto Board of Health on January the 17th.

00:40:39.020 And then we linked back to the fully public, live-streamed video.

00:40:44.240 And on Friday, January 21st, I tried to go back to that publicly available live stream source to get some additional content.

00:40:52.580 But when I tried to do that, I was shocked to find that the board had privatized the video.

00:41:00.140 In usual times, which obviously these are not, you would be able to find the full, live-streamed, and public video on the City of Toronto Council and Committee's Meetings Agenda and Minutes website.

00:41:15.720 But the video was privatized, and we'll show this screen grab that we got on screen now to prove it.

00:41:24.000 And it appears that sometime thereafter, the video was magically republished under the Board of Health's video archive, but with at least one key speech missing.

00:41:35.980 It was the speech of Dan Hartman, who runs a Twitter page called Answers for Sean, where he claims that his 17-year-old son died a mere few weeks after his first Pfizer injection.

00:41:50.780 Look at the formal public record of his speech.

00:41:55.080 Dan, welcome. You'll have five minutes. Thank you for joining us, and you can begin when you're ready.

00:42:00.800 Hello. Good morning.

00:42:02.820 Good morning.

00:42:03.380 Thank you very much, Mr. Hartman. Thank you. I hope that you and your family are able to find some closure. Thank you.

00:42:11.060 Thank you.

00:42:13.800 Thank you, Councillor.

00:42:15.180 His entire speech and the dialogue that ensued, it's gone. Completely.

00:42:21.340 Councillor Wong Tam engaged with him a little bit, and they had a conversation.

00:42:24.440 And so is the way in which Joe Cressy, he's the chair for the Board of Health, responded to Dan's heartbreaking allegation.

00:42:34.220 Cressy was heartless and cold, not even attempting to acknowledge the tearful account by Sean's dad.

00:42:40.640 He glossed over the horrific allegation entirely.

00:42:44.280 I know, because I watched it live, but it's a clip that we can no longer view, thanks to whomever decided to scrub the speech from the public record.

00:42:55.620 Here is one clip that made it onto social media of Dan's speech.

00:43:01.760 It's not the complete clip, and again, I know because I listened to it live, but it's better than the absolute nothing that we're left with from the Board of Health's public record.

00:43:12.220 Have a listen.

00:43:12.740 All over his neck and face and brown circles around his eyes.

00:43:17.880 They sent him home, and on the morning of September 27th, his mother found him dead on the floor beside his bed.

00:43:29.840 And all he wanted to do was play hockey.

00:43:33.820 So I'm just wondering really how safe this is and why no deaths are being reported.

00:43:40.740 You're talking about numbers and ICUs, but nobody ever talks about deaths, and it is happening more than anyone knows, and it's just being denied and silenced.

00:43:53.320 And I have a Twitter page called Answers for Sean, which has 7,500 followers who are all wondering the same thing as me.

00:44:02.600 What happened to my son?

00:44:04.360 He had an autopsy done in Toronto.

00:44:07.380 That came back, cause of death unascertained.

00:44:11.300 Which only 2% of deaths have that conclusion.

00:44:15.660 The only thing they found was a slightly enlarged heart.

00:44:19.120 So I questioned the coroner, well, is that not caused from the vaccine causing myocarditis?

00:44:24.800 They're saying there was no myocarditis.

00:44:27.640 I sent his autopsy report to a second well-known pathologist in Canada who wants to remain anonymous for fear of losing his job.

00:44:36.200 He told me the vaccine did kill my son.

00:44:39.320 I don't know who I can believe anymore.

00:44:42.660 I have to go the rest of my life either thinking there's no cause of death or it was the vaccine.

00:44:49.760 I just don't think vaccines for kids to play sports is the right thing to do, considering Omicron is a lot less powerful than Delta.

00:45:01.980 My brother and his wife and three kids all have Omicron right now, and they're all perfectly fine.

00:45:07.000 They say it's not bad at all.

00:45:09.000 Even one of my nephews has no symptoms whatsoever, but tested positive.

00:45:13.320 I just would like some answers to why my son is gone.

00:45:19.840 And if you want to take a look at my page, you'll see just how much of a special boy he was and what he meant to me.

00:45:26.800 And now I have to go through the rest of my life with this pain.

00:45:31.500 And I just want answers.

00:45:33.200 So whose decision was this, and why did they make it?

00:45:36.200 What else has been scrubbed from the public record since March 2020 and maybe even beyond?

00:45:42.460 Some of you may remember a few months ago when I pointed some highly relevant and important questions to Toronto Public Health,

00:45:51.620 only to have them respond that they don't respond to inquiries from Rebel News.

00:45:57.780 So while I filed an access to information request to find out who exactly said that and why,

00:46:05.300 it leads to the larger issue here, that now I have further questions for Dr. Eileen Davila through Toronto Public Health,

00:46:14.860 and they are likely to not receive responses because of this previously held nonsensical and absurd conviction.

00:46:23.460 But that didn't stop me from reaching out to Chair of the Board of Health, Joe Cressy,

00:46:28.840 the new Vice Chair, Stephanie Donaldson,

00:46:32.420 and of course, Dr. Eileen Davila, Medical Officer of Health for Toronto Public Health.

00:46:38.500 In addition to asking whose decision it was to scrub the video and why,

00:46:43.120 I also asked if it was commonplace for the board to tamper with the public record.

00:46:48.400 And of course, like I said earlier, how many other times has this happened since March 2020?

00:46:56.420 I mean, this level of public censorship is highly concerning to me as a member of a theoretically free and democratic society.

00:47:06.940 And since none of the above responded to my request by the deadline provided,

00:47:11.380 I filed another access to information request because I want to know why this decision was made.

00:47:18.700 Ontarians, the Canadian public, and people everywhere need to be made aware of these kinds of allegations,

00:47:24.900 and they need to be thoroughly investigated to determine accurate cause of death

00:47:31.080 and inform others to provide true consent to these, yes, still, experimental injections.

00:47:39.200 For Rebel News, I'm Tamara Ugolini.

00:47:45.240 If you feel refreshed seeing this kind of investigative journalism,

00:47:49.100 then please consider donating to rebelinvestigates.com.

00:47:53.020 As you probably know, it takes time, money, and resources to file access to information requests,

00:47:59.320 and staying on top of them can be cumbersome and time-consuming.

00:48:03.440 We appreciate all of the donations that we receive from our generous viewers

00:48:07.820 to help us continue to bring you the other, often unreported, side of the story

00:48:14.100 and showcase scandals and discrepancies when we see them.

00:48:18.320 That website again is rebelinvestigates.com.

00:48:37.820 I don't know.

00:48:42.260 I don't know.

00:48:49.700 I don't know.

00:48:50.240 We'll see you next time.

00:48:52.460 I'll see you next time.

00:48:54.020 I'll see you next time.
