Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ Three more Liberals have censored us – so we’re suing them

00:00:00.000 Hello, my friends. We're going to take a bit of a break from the war today. We'll talk about that

00:00:03.420 in the letters section, but I have an interview with my friend Franco Teresano of the Taxpayers

00:00:08.040 Federation about that $8 million barn. How do you spend $8 million? Well, you're a Trudeau liberal,

00:00:14.500 that's how. But first, I want to tell you about a new lawsuit we just filed. Three liberal cabinet

00:00:19.840 ministers thought it would be a good idea to block and censor Rebel News. Well, what do you think I

00:00:25.020 would do in response? That way, I'd fight. I'll take you through our newest lawsuit against the

00:00:30.080 liberals. That's ahead. But first, let me invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus. That's

00:00:34.160 the video version of this podcast. Just go to rebelnewsplus.com, click subscribe. It's $8 a

00:00:44.500 in. And of course, you get the video version of this podcast. All right, here's today's show.

00:00:55.020 Tonight, three more liberal cabinet ministers have blocked Rebel News. So we filed three

00:01:09.760 more lawsuits. It's October 26, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:13.920 You're fighting for freedom! Shame on you, you censorious bug!

00:01:25.020 You might remember our great legal victory in the federal court of Canada last month.

00:01:34.200 Stephen Gilbeau, who is now Trudeau's environment minister, had blocked us on Twitter when he was

00:01:39.820 the heritage minister, and he kept us blocked. He blocked us not from his personal account or

00:01:44.740 anything like that, but from the official government account, the one that's responsible for making

00:01:49.360 government announcements, the one that's run by an army of non-partisan civil servants.

00:01:54.500 He was blocking us for one reason only, because he hates Rebel News and the fact that he can't

00:02:00.760 control us and the fact that we criticize him and he can't rein us in by threatening our government

00:02:05.780 funding because we don't have government funding. What a window into his mind, eh? As if the media

00:02:12.020 have to report to him instead of reporting about him. What does that say about all the journalists

00:02:17.480 Gilbeau doesn't block, eh? Anyways, it took us more than two years in court, but we finally got

00:02:24.480 Gilbeau to relent. I did a bit of a victory lap when the federal court of Canada issued the consent

00:02:30.680 order against him. Not only was Gilbeau ordered to unblock us, but he was ordered to keep us unblocked

00:02:38.660 for the rest of his career as long as he's an MP. That's a court order. And because he resisted this

00:02:44.860 and fought us in court so long and didn't admit the obvious, which is that what he did was illegal

00:02:50.580 and unconstitutional, he was ordered in this consent order to pay us $20,000. Now that's an

00:02:57.060 enormous amount of money, but unfortunately it cost us much more than that to fight him in court for

00:03:02.040 two years. So that was a victory, a legal victory. And I made a victory tweet celebrating the

00:03:09.960 depoliticization of the civil service because it's one thing for Gilbeau to personally hate me in

00:03:16.080 rebel news or for the liberal party to hate me in rebel news, but they had infected the non-partisan

00:03:21.820 government itself, the department with his censorship simply because he personally hated us. You can't do

00:03:28.320 that. So I posted a copy of the consent order and it went super viral on Twitter. I don't know if

00:03:36.640 you can see it, but 2.2 million people saw that tweet, just that one tweet alone, let alone what

00:03:44.000 other people tweeted. Now you'd think that politicians would have got the message, don't

00:03:49.700 censor people just because you're powerful. You don't have the right to do that. Citizens have rights.

00:03:55.920 We have rights to government services, which is what news announcements are. And a Twitter feed is.

00:04:01.420 You can't just have an enemies list. Just don't. And if you don't like what someone like us is saying

00:04:07.480 about you, if you have a really thin skin, either reconsider your career path or just mute people

00:04:14.320 you don't like. Muting on Twitter stops you from hearing from them, but it doesn't stop them from

00:04:19.320 reading you. Just don't block us. It's wrong. It's illegal. It's a violation of our constitutional

00:04:26.240 rights. But it's also politically foolish because you will be humiliated in the manner that Stephen

00:04:31.920 Gilboa was. Millions of people will see what you've done. And you'll also have to pay tens of

00:04:37.400 thousands of dollars in costs because you were wrong and obstinate. It's not true that all good

00:04:43.800 public, all publicity is good publicity. A restraining order and $20,000 penalty is not good publicity,

00:04:50.120 especially for a cabinet minister like Gilboa, who's trying to claim that he isn't just a big censor.

00:04:54.960 Okay, that's the olds, but I've got some news. The news is how stupid you have to be

00:05:03.080 to be a fellow liberal cabinet minister and to see what just happened to your colleague Stephen

00:05:08.940 Gilboa and to see the court order and to see how it ended and to say, yeah, I want a piece of that.

00:05:16.160 Well, you'd have to be Yaara Sachs level stupid. Yeah, that's the name of this cabinet minister.

00:05:22.940 How much vitriol do we have to see of honk honk, which is an acronym for Hail Hitler, 0.65

00:05:29.860 do we need to see by these protesters on social media?

00:05:34.300 She seriously thought that honk honk meant Heil Hitler because they both started the letter H.

00:05:39.700 Now, we've got real Nazi style rallies across Canada these days with people really calling

00:05:44.320 for death to the Jews. And Yaara Sachs has nothing to say about that, but truckers honking

00:05:48.000 the horn is a Nazi threat. That's pretty dumb. And she unfortunately is dumb enough to block 0.99

00:05:55.420 one of our journalists, our social media boss, Yankee Pollack. She blocked him on Twitter.

00:06:02.680 You'd have to be Karina Gould level dumb to do that. She's the Trudeau cabinet minister who 1.00

00:06:09.080 happens to be Jewish to boot, who took a selfie photo with that Nazi SS officer, Yaroslav Hanke,

00:06:15.000 when he visited parliament. Ha ha! Bat dumb! She thought that would be a good idea. And she thought

00:06:20.940 it would be a good idea to block our reporter, Sheila Gunn-Reed. Yeah, don't. Don't do that. 0.79

00:06:26.640 And then there's Marcy Ian. She blocked me. Three liberal cabinet ministers blocking three different

00:06:35.120 rebel news journalists. It was dumb to do that before. It was dumb when Stephen Gilboa did it.

00:06:42.560 But how dumb is it to do that after Stephen Gilboa was ordered by the court to unblock us

00:06:47.700 for life and to pay us $20,000? At least before the court order, they could say, well, let's see if we

00:06:54.660 can get away with it. But they know they can't now. Why would they be that way? I have a theory.

00:07:03.480 I think they learned it from their corrupt boss, Justin Trudeau. Remember that in 2019, Trudeau

00:07:08.360 banned rebel news from attending the leaders' debates, the election debates? We went to the

00:07:13.720 federal court and we won. The judge said Trudeau violated our rights and ordered us to be credentialed.

00:07:19.440 We got into the debates. Well, two years later, Justin Trudeau did it again, again, even though the

00:07:24.300 court had told him not to. So we went to the federal court again and we beat him again.

00:07:30.980 But even then, just hours after a judge tore a strip off him when we were in that leader's debate,

00:07:38.640 I tell you, that judge condemned him for violating our constitutional rights and confirmed that indeed 0.97

00:07:44.160 we were accredited journalists. Trudeau defiantly said, just hours after the judge said he was wrong,

00:07:51.780 Trudeau said, no, we're not real journalists. Remember this?

00:07:54.620 The only reason that I'm allowed to ask you this question is because today the federal court ruled

00:08:00.060 that the government doesn't have the right to determine who is or is not a journalist.

00:08:04.880 This is the second election in a row that the court had to overturn your government.

00:08:09.940 Do you still insist on being able to make that decision and why?

00:08:13.640 First of all, questions around accreditation were handled by the press gallery and the consortium

00:08:21.980 of networks who have strong perspectives on quality journalism and the important information

00:08:29.120 that is shared with Canadians. The reality is organizations like yours that continue to spread

00:08:40.900 misinformation and disinformation on the science around vaccines, around how we're going to

00:08:47.720 actually get through this pandemic and be there for each other and keep our kids safe

00:08:53.500 is part of why we're seeing such unfortunate anger and lack of understanding of basic science.

00:09:03.380 And quite frankly, your, I won't call it a media organization, your group of individuals need to take

00:09:12.320 accountability for some of the polarization that we're seeing in this country.

00:09:18.400 And I think Canadians are cluing into the fact that there is a really important decision we take

00:09:25.420 about the kind of country we want to see.

00:09:27.700 And I salute all extraordinary hardworking journalists that put science and facts at the heart of what

00:09:34.900 they do and ask me tough questions every day, but make sure that they are educating and informing

00:09:42.600 Canadians from a broad range of perspectives, which is the last thing that you guys do.

00:09:48.020 Well, it's one thing to pout and be indignant like Trudeau was there. He's petty. He's small.

00:09:53.920 He's a bully. He's a bully. But we were in. I mean, we couldn't sue him for being a fool.

00:09:59.740 We got in. We got what we wanted. But these three liberal cabinet ministers who have blocked us now,

00:10:07.240 what did they think we were going to do? Did they think we would just say, sure,

00:10:10.840 we're fine with you violating our rights? We literally have the identical precedent. We just

00:10:17.100 set that precedent last month. Did they think we were tired or that we'd given up or that maybe we

00:10:23.720 wouldn't notice? Are they that dumb? So, in fact, we filed a lawsuit identical to the one we just

00:10:31.680 beat Stephen Gilboa with. You can read it for yourself at twitterlawsuit.ca. I encourage you

00:10:37.780 to read it. I think it'll make you feel good. Here, let me read just one key paragraph from it.

00:10:42.440 It's a 21-page lawsuit. It's not that long. You can read it in 20 minutes. You can find the whole

00:10:48.640 thing at Twitter lawsuit dossier. Here's the paragraph that outlines for the judges what we

00:10:53.300 want. This is an application for orders declaring that the respondents, the Honorable Marcy Ian,

00:11:01.380 the Honorable Ya'ara Sachs, and the Honorable Karina Gould, violated the applicants, that's us,

00:11:09.600 violated our constitutional rights under sections 2b and 3 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and

00:11:16.380 Freedoms, in blocking access to official government X, formerly Twitter accounts, and thereby limiting

00:11:24.100 the applicant's ability to, among other things, access and communicate important information,

00:11:30.300 participate in public debate, express views on matters of public concern, have a voice in the

00:11:35.580 deliberations of parliament, of government, and bring grievances and concerns to the attention of

00:11:40.680 government representatives. That pretty much sums it up, doesn't it? We mentioned the

00:11:45.740 constitutional provisions that are being violated. We're not asking for money, other than for our

00:11:51.180 legal costs. We're fighting on principle. We filed the lawsuit in federal court. I confirmed that we

00:11:58.540 have now served the lawsuit on the federal government. So now it's Trudeau's move. And this is going to be

00:12:06.020 telling what will these three cabinet ministers do? Will they spend hundreds of thousands of taxpayers'

00:12:13.220 dollars fighting us like Stephen Gilboa did? Or will they acknowledge what we all know right now,

00:12:19.940 that they are going to lose? So why not just do the right thing now? Well, because they're liberals,

00:12:28.820 that's why. Well, what do you think they're going to do? I'll tell you what they're going to do. They're

00:12:33.940 going to fight this with your tax dollars, because they're censors, they're bullish. I'll tell you what I'm

00:12:38.020 going to do. I'm going to sue any government official who thinks he or she can censor ordinary

00:12:43.460 Canadians because they don't like them. This isn't even a partisan thing, by the way. I don't think

00:12:49.940 conservatives should do this either, of course. I'm not talking about the conservative party or a

00:12:56.260 personal account by a conservative politician. I'm not talking about that. If a Twitter account is just

00:13:00.980 someone's personal or party account, I don't particularly think I have a right to read it if they block me.

00:13:06.660 But if they are using government resources to run it with civil servants, and it's where they make

00:13:14.500 government pronouncements, then every single Canadian citizen should have a right to see it.

00:13:21.940 When we first filed our lawsuit against Stephen Gilboa, I wondered if it was too small a lawsuit,

00:13:28.580 too small a fight, if the infringement was too petty. I mean, is access to a Twitter account really that

00:13:35.220 important? Well, it is small, but small things are not, by definition, unimportant. Because erosions of

00:13:43.620 our freedom start small and they grow larger. And they're usually easier to fight when they're still

00:13:50.260 small. If a government can ban you from Twitter, can they ban you from other federal government services?

00:13:57.940 Maybe, I don't know, ban you from getting a new passport? That sounds pretty far-fetched, doesn't it?

00:14:03.780 Well, actually, we had a government that banned us from flying or even taking trains, even within our

00:14:11.060 own country. Far-fetched? You have to fight for freedom every day. You just have to when you've got a

00:14:20.260 government like the liberals in power. And it is easier to fight in the first ditch than to wait and

00:14:26.660 fight in the last ditch. If you believe in this fight, as I do, maybe help us. We could use the help

00:14:33.380 because we don't have any taxpayer money to pay for the lawyers like these three crooked liberals do.

00:14:40.100 You know, we're usually all alone in court. No other media groups are with us these days. No other

00:14:45.540 civil liberties groups are with us in court. But that doesn't mean we're wrong. In fact, it means it's all

00:14:51.380 the more important that we are there doing this. Because if we don't, who will?

00:14:57.780 So please go to twitterlawsuit.ca. Read the claim. It's only 21 pages. And if you think it's important

00:15:04.340 to hold Trudeau's liberals to account when they try to punish and censor us, and maybe you,

00:15:10.180 well, please consider chipping in. To the three stupidest cabinet ministers in Canada, Marcy Ian,

00:15:17.140 Karina Gould, and my own MP, Yaara Sachs, know this. You will lose because you're breaking the law.

00:15:27.620 Admit it now. Or be humiliated by the court like your foolish comrade Stephen Gilboa was.

00:15:35.540 And to every other government bully out there, know this. You're next.

00:15:44.820 Please go to twitterlawsuit.ca. Stay with us for more.

00:15:50.340 Is there a political institution in this country that has let people down more

00:16:07.220 than the Bank of Canada? Is there a job that is easier, simpler in terms of its mission?

00:16:12.340 Keep interest rates affordable for Canadian families. Is there a greater letdown than Tiff

00:16:20.020 Macklem, the boss, who admits that he screwed up? I mean, even he doesn't defend himself. Take a look

00:16:28.020 at this clip from him admitting his screw up. Many economists are now publicly saying that the

00:16:33.620 Bank of Canada was left behind the curve in its response to controlling inflation,

00:16:39.940 and probably could have increased rates earlier. Would you have responded differently had you known

00:16:47.220 that inflation was going to be at the rate it is today?

00:16:53.620 Look, we got a lot of things right. We got some things wrong, and we are responding.

00:17:00.740 You saw that a couple of weeks ago. We raised the policy rate, took the unusual step of raising the

00:17:07.860 policy rate by 50 basis points to 1%. We've signaled very clearly that Canadians should expect further

00:17:16.340 increases. And looking ahead to our next decisions, I expect we will be considering taking another

00:17:27.380 50 basis points step. And yet the Bank of Canada has just issued 82 huge bonuses to its executives.

00:17:40.020 I don't even know how you get 82 executives at the Bank of Canada. They just sloshed around three and a

00:17:47.780 half million dollars, and they're high-fiving each other in the hallway showing us how to talk about this

00:17:53.700 outrage. And the $8 million barn down the street is our friend Franco Terrazzano from the Canadian

00:18:00.180 Taxpayers Federation, who blew the whistle on both of these things. Boy, I want to get to that crazy

00:18:06.740 $8 million barn. But first, let's talk about the Bank of Canada. Tell me, I mean, tell our viewers,

00:18:13.220 who may not quite understand the Bank of Canada, it's not a bank where you go and get a mortgage or you

00:18:17.780 make a deposit. Their sole job is monetary policy, which means the amount of money that is printed,

00:18:25.380 and trying to control interest rates. They lend money to the big banks. Have I properly described

00:18:30.740 what the Bank of Canada does? That's right. You pretty well did, okay? The Bank of Canada, folks,

00:18:36.100 is our central bank. It's a federal crown corporation, and it has one job. Keep inflation low at around 2%.

00:18:42.980 Now, everyone knows that they failed at their one and only job. Even they know that they failed at

00:18:48.740 their one and only job. Inflation last year reached a 40-year high. No matter bonuses for essentially

00:18:56.420 every executive, 80 executives at the Bank of Canada took home a bonus last year for a total of

00:19:03.700 $3.5 million, folks. So get this, okay? Canadians are losing sleep at night, worried about losing their

00:19:11.940 homes, worried about their credit card bills. You know, even worried about whether or not they're

00:19:16.660 going to be able to afford good food for their families. And you have these executives at the Bank of

00:19:22.340 Canada who aren't even worried about missing a bonus. Folks, the average bonus last year for their

00:19:28.260 executives, more than $43,000. You know, I can understand bonuses on Wall Street or Bay Street for

00:19:36.260 stock market traders who do big deals and make a lot of money. But this is not that. This is,

00:19:43.460 they really have, as you say, one job. Keep inflation in check. And it's not like they're out there making

00:19:49.860 deals and taking risks and being super capitalist. This is really a public utility. And actually,

00:19:55.780 there is only one thing they should have done in the last few years, which is to say to Justin Trudeau,

00:20:00.420 no, sorry, we're not going to print hundreds of billions of dollars more money for you to spend

00:20:08.100 on your crazy programs. That's really a big reason why we have inflation, because the fox wasn't

00:20:13.700 guarding, the fox was guarding the head house. So Tiff Macklin, the head of the Bank of Canada,

00:20:17.780 instead of saying to Trudeau, whoa, whoa, whoa, you just want us to increase the money supply by printing

00:20:23.940 more money for you to spend? That's going to cause everyone else's money to lose value. That's going to

00:20:27.700 cause prices to go up. We can't do that. He said yes to Trudeau. He couldn't stand up to Trudeau.

00:20:33.940 And, and, and he's giving himself an 82 of his colleagues. I don't even know what 82 people

00:20:40.580 would be doing in the Bank of Canada. And these are executives, 82 executives. What are they doing

00:20:45.700 all day besides playing solitaire on their computer or something? Ezra, there's a few different reasons

00:20:52.100 why inflation reached a 40 year high. Okay. Carbon tax. That's a reason, but make no mistake about it,

00:20:58.260 folks. The key reason driving up the prices that you pay was the more than $300 billion that the

00:21:06.100 Bank of Canada printed out of thin air, largely to finance the federal government's massive deficit

00:21:13.140 spending. Okay. Now get this folks. They have their worst year in 40 years because they have

00:21:18.580 one job to keep inflation low and around 2%. Well, guess what? Most organizations out there don't

00:21:25.220 shower 98% of their executives with $40,000 bonus checks when they have their worst year in four

00:21:33.220 decades. There's firings when that happens. People are fired. People are given pay cuts. People are put on

00:21:39.380 leave. And by the way, the number of executives keeps going up. When Trudeau took over, there were

00:21:45.460 69 executives there. Now there's 82 or actually there's 84 because two of them didn't manage

00:21:51.540 to get bonus. How bad do you have to be to be the two executives of the Bank of Canada,

00:21:56.180 not hitting the ka-ching. I mean, hey, they're the money printers. So I guess they think money 1.00

00:22:02.020 just grows on trees because for them, it sort of does. They could literally print their own money.

00:22:06.500 And it's so infuriating. I mean, 43 grand in bonuses average, that's getting close to the

00:22:13.940 take-home pay after tax for the average Canadian family. I mean, I think the average take-home pay

00:22:19.220 for the Canadian family is slightly more than that after tax, but not much more. That's like a year's

00:22:25.140 salary bonus just for getting us into this mess. Franco, this is very frustrating.

00:22:31.460 Oh, I'm so frustrated. Let me just step back. 80 of 82 executives at the Bank of Canada

00:22:37.940 got a bonus. The average bonus, more than $43,000. Okay, folks? Now, I don't even want to know what

00:22:45.460 those two executives who didn't get a bonus, what they managed to do. I don't even want to know.

00:22:49.140 I don't want to go there. But hey, Ezra, you touched on another good point. Not only did 80 of 82

00:22:54.340 executives working there get a bonus last year, 98%. But the number of executives at the Bank of

00:23:00.740 Canada has increased by 18% since 2015. Well, I guess you just need more central bankers when you're

00:23:07.300 going to run the printing press on overdrive and increase everyone's prices. Now, let me just break

00:23:12.580 it down one more time, folks. For the average Canadian, for the ordinary Canadian taxpayer out there,

00:23:18.500 you got higher inflation. You got interest rate hikes. A pay cut. When you got inflation, it's a

00:23:24.820 de facto pay cut. Well, plus, but not just that. What happened over the last couple of years? People

00:23:32.100 not just got pay cuts because of inflation, real pay cuts. No, people actually got pay cuts. People

00:23:37.700 actually lost their jobs. People actually lost their small business. How many people had sleepless nights

00:23:44.420 worried about having to take out a line of credit just to keep the lights on? And at the Bank of

00:23:49.140 Canada, they're not even losing an hour of sleep worried about losing a bonus? Yeah. Oh, boy. You

00:23:54.580 know, that's frustrating. I still think, Franco, that if you go to the ordinary person on the street,

00:24:00.420 he probably wouldn't know what the Bank of Canada is. Because it's a little bit abstract. You have to

00:24:04.820 know a little bit about economics and monetary policy. And I mean, Justin Trudeau brags that he doesn't

00:24:10.500 think about monetary policy, but I think ordinary Canadians might not either. But everyone knows

00:24:16.580 what a barn is. You don't have to be a farmer or a rancher to know what a barn is. It's a shed.

00:24:23.940 It's a big shed. In fact, I bet that most Canadian homeowners have a mini barn where they keep their

00:24:31.140 lawnmower and stuff in there. It's a shed. You could have a big shed. You might have some cows in there,

00:24:38.020 but it's a shed. But the government of Canada, I want to show the photo of the government of Canada,

00:24:44.420 paid $8 million to replace a barn at Rideau Hall. $8 million. And there's a photo of this barn. Of

00:24:55.060 course, it's got solar panels on it. What can you tell us about this outrageous, gold-plated,

00:25:01.540 $8 million barn, Franco? Well, Ottawa's two worst waste offenders,

00:25:08.980 the National Capital Commission and Rideau Hall, teamed up to soak you, dear taxpayer,

00:25:13.940 for $8 million building a barn. The NCC spent $8 million building this barn at Rideau Hall,

00:25:19.620 which is, of course, the residence of the Governor General. $8 million. Folks, I'm here in Ottawa.

00:25:24.900 Don't hold it against me. But guess what? You can get one of the most beautiful mansions in the Ottawa

00:25:31.620 region for $8 million. They spent that amount of money on a barn. Now, Ezra, I don't know the

00:25:38.100 first thing about farming, but I'm pretty sure you've got some listeners out there in Brooks,

00:25:42.180 Alberta, who can figure out how to build a barn for less than $8 million. Yeah. And by the way,

00:25:48.260 I hate to be that guy, but I don't think there's any animals in this barn, are there? I don't think

00:25:54.900 it's an actual farm. I don't think there's actual critters in there. I think it's just like a shed

00:26:01.860 for vehicles. Am I right? Yeah, it's a tool shed. It's where they store their vehicles. I don't know.

00:26:06.420 Maybe they're doing oil changes in there. Who knows? But guess what, folks? Jiffy Lube is probably

00:26:10.900 right down the corner. Save some money. Now, guys, $8 million to build a barn at Rideau Hall.

00:26:18.420 The National Capital Commission, which is the federal government supercharged parks and recs

00:26:22.980 board, they just waste money like crazy. Let me give you one more example, okay? At Rideau Hall,

00:26:28.500 they spent $140,000 studying how to build a staircase that never got built. Now, Ezra,

00:26:37.220 Ezra, you know, I think, well, you got to laugh or you cry, right? But Ezra, you know,

00:26:43.220 I think that most Canadians spend $0 not building a staircase. That's right. The federal government

00:26:49.060 spent $140,000 not building a staircase, and you paid for it. Yeah. You know, the disconnect. I

00:26:57.380 I guess sometimes it takes, you know, is there any government eight years in that isn't unmoored

00:27:05.060 from real people that isn't in its own world? But I think that with the liberals, the waste,

00:27:10.100 I mean, they take their lead from the guy at the top. I remember Stephen Harper, who was a bit

00:27:15.140 parsimonious. He fired a cabinet minister for drinking a $16 orange juice from a mini bar because mini bars

00:27:21.940 are super expensive. And that was embarrassing. Trudeau from the very beginning was luxurious

00:27:27.220 with other people's money. And so eight years in that sense of entitlement and oh, just throw another

00:27:34.260 bale of hundreds on the fire. It's, it's just out of control. I'm pleased to say

00:27:39.940 the Canadians are starting to resist. The other day, I took people through the detailed nanos poll,

00:27:45.540 and it showed that people are more concerned than ever about the financial issues or cost of living,

00:27:49.860 about jobs. And it's a bundle. People don't necessarily separate cost of living

00:27:54.340 from inflation, from affordability of houses, from groceries, from carbon tax. It's all one big

00:27:59.540 cloud over their head. They're not breaking it down into different categories. But all those cost of

00:28:04.580 living categories together are now the number one concern in Canada. And Trudeau, if you ask him his

00:28:10.340 number one concern, he'll tell you, you know what it is, climate change. And he'll say the answer to that

00:28:15.060 is a carbon tax. And so now Canadians, when they hear Trudeau on his number one issue,

00:28:19.620 they're hearing more taxes. Trudeau doesn't care because he doesn't pay anything himself. And he's

00:28:24.180 a millionaire trust fund kid. But, and you can see in this nanos poll that climate change is falling

00:28:30.900 off the map in terms of an issue. That's a luxury good that people can't afford right now. Last word to

00:28:36.340 you, Franco. And you know what, folks? I think Canadians understand that we're not going to solve an

00:28:42.660 environmental issue with another tax here in Canada that drives up the cost of living. I think

00:28:47.780 Canadians understand that. I think you're right. There he is, best in the business, Franco Teresano

00:28:52.340 from the Taxpayers Federation. Keep fighting like hell, my friend. It's always a pleasure. And we love

00:28:58.100 your happy warrior energy. So keep it up. Hey, thanks, Andrew. I appreciate it. All right,

00:29:03.300 there he is, Franco Teresano. Stay with us. Your letters to me next.

00:29:19.220 Hey, welcome back. Your letters to me, Bruce Atchison says, hi, Ezra. Thanks for inviting

00:29:23.860 she on the show. She Van Fleet. We Westerners must understand what's happening and especially the

00:29:29.780 demonic nature of division. I'm glad she Van Fleet was interviewed tonight. We all must listen to her.

00:29:35.700 She knows that Marxism and jihadism have the same evil root, both divide people into sides and keep

00:29:40.580 the divide open by teaching the so-called oppressed group hating the other side. This is why we

00:29:45.620 conservatives, Christians, and Jews must unify against hatred. You know, the phrase I keep repeating

00:29:51.940 is what I heard from James Lindsay a few weeks ago when he gave that speech in Calgary that I was lucky

00:29:56.260 enough to 10. He said, the issue is never the issue. The revolution is always the issue.

00:30:02.100 And that's why queers for Palestine, um, make common cause with Hamas that would slaughter 1.00

00:30:08.660 anyone who's gay or trans or whatever, because that's not the point. The point is to take it to the 0.80

00:30:14.180 man and they both hate the man. And in this case, the man is white man or Israel or America's ally.

00:30:21.460 By the way, um, millions of Jews in Israel are what are called Sephardi Jews. They're,

00:30:26.820 they're darker skinned Jews, Jews from Arab lands and other places. They're even black Jews from

00:30:31.460 Ethiopia, but that's okay. Uh, because in the cultural Marxism, critical theory view of things,

00:30:38.580 Israel is the white oppressor, even if they are Arab or brown, it's not that. And that's, and even though 0.99

00:30:46.100 Hamas would murder, uh, gay activists, well, we have to be in part of the revolution. The issue

00:30:52.020 isn't the issue. The revolution is the issue. O.G. Contentibus says, at least the Nazis tried to 0.90

00:30:59.460 hide their crimes. Hamas and Hezbollah need to be eradicated from the planet. Yeah. And I don't think

00:31:04.100 that's a crazy thing to say. I mean, we said that about ISIS. We said that about Al Qaeda. No one said,

00:31:10.180 hey, now have a humanitarian pause after 9-11. Don't just go shooting Al Qaeda. Um, be proportionate. 0.56

00:31:17.860 What does proportionate mean when, when they attack civilian towers like 9-11? Um,

00:31:25.060 you know, I, I'm buoyed in a little bit of my hope by seeing that Harvard Harris poll out of the States

00:31:30.100 showing that 85% of Americans know who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. I'm of course

00:31:36.180 worried about the youngest cohort that's pretty much 50-50 for 18 to 24-year-olds. I haven't seen

00:31:41.140 a reliable poll here in Canada. I'm worried that our numbers are not as high because our country is

00:31:46.260 more woke and we do not have a leader at the helm. Well, that's our show for today. Until tomorrow,

00:31:52.340 on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night and keep fighting for

00:31:57.060 freedom.
