Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ Trudeau blinks; the truckers win; the Emergencies Act is dropped. But it has shown us who the tyrants were, didn’t it？

00:00:00.000 tonight trudeau blinks the truckers win the emergencies act is dropped but it has shown

00:00:21.040 us who the tyrants were didn't it it's february 23rd and this is the as for the band show

00:00:25.520 why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer i know there's 8 500 customers

00:00:33.680 here and you won't give them an answer the only thing i have to say to the government

00:00:37.920 is because it's my bloody right to do so

00:00:41.840 the house of commons debated the emergencies act and it passed with the grotesque support of the

00:00:53.340 ndp to their everlasting shame the ndp then in 1970 voted against pierre trudeau's war measures act

00:01:02.540 this time they were shamefully united with trudeau because they're moral cowards and they would

00:01:09.180 rather avoid an election in which they would surely lose seats they'd rather have their own personal

00:01:16.060 comfort than stand for civil liberties and think of every liberal mp who violated civil liberties

00:01:23.820 themselves liberal liberties the root word is the same in latin it comes from the word for freedom

00:01:30.060 but we now know that liberals do not believe in freedom they believe in power we also know that

00:01:35.980 so many of the people in society who call themselves the keepers of liberty the keepers of our society

00:01:42.620 they're liars the biggest advocates for the emergencies act other than the thuggish police chief

00:01:50.540 many of them and the violent police rank and file who were let loose the biggest advocates were

00:01:56.140 journalists and they raged and raged at anyone who dared to disagree with them i showed yesterday how

00:02:03.820 many journalists were raging against the new york times for daring to report that trudeau deployed men with

00:02:09.660 guns they you know they just couldn't handle the contradiction being shoved in their face

00:02:15.260 that these liberal journalists were shilling for a police state when we documented it at rebel news

00:02:22.540 they could discount it oh that's rebel news but when the new york times said it they couldn't make it go away

00:02:27.980 so they shrieked imagine being someone who decided to burn up their personal political capital

00:02:36.620 to support such a tyrant literally today as trudeau was writing his short speech

00:02:41.980 announcing that he was blinking and abandoning the emergencies act his shills in the senate

00:02:47.660 were standing up and torching their reputations by speaking in favor imagine burning up a lifetime of

00:02:54.220 political capital only to have trudeau walk away from it a moment later oh well it was a useful exercise

00:03:01.100 to see who went along with it to see who would cheer and follow orders which politicians

00:03:08.060 including those in the conservative party who condemned the truckers in the same language

00:03:13.660 the cowards in the liberal party who announced that they were very much against it but that they were

00:03:20.060 going to vote for it against their conscience because trudeau was forcing them to that's not a thing

00:03:26.540 by the way each mp controls their own vote but they said that liberals said they were voting against

00:03:32.460 their conscience and against the charter because trudeau told them to they really do they really

00:03:38.940 will do anything to follow orders the carnage here the carnage the smashed reputation of canada's banks

00:03:48.780 who went along with the seizure of private accounts that smashed reputations of the mps of the liberals and

00:03:55.500 the ndp the parties of the left the smashed reputations of the police i'll never forgive them

00:04:01.740 and all for what trudeau is a disgrace but he has disgraced canada too there is no canadian reputation

00:04:09.980 around the world like there once was we are a laughing stock now we are like belarus a small 1.00

00:04:17.020 european country that defiled its reputation with stalinist cruelty 0.74

00:04:21.980 do you really think they're done though i don't trudeau and christia freeland both warned us

00:04:29.100 that they want the financial powers forever uh in terms of the financial instruments which our government is

00:04:40.300 using right now to act against these illegal blockades and illegal occupation uh we reviewed very

00:04:50.540 very very carefully the tools at the disposal of the federal government uh and we used all the tools

00:04:59.740 that we had prior to the invocation of the emergencies act and we determined that we needed some additional

00:05:08.140 tools now some of those tools uh we will be putting forward uh measures to put those tools permanently in

00:05:17.260 place uh the authorities of fin track i believe do need to be expanded to cover crowdsourcing platforms

00:05:25.900 uh and uh payment platform and their payment providers uh so that's that is something that we

00:05:34.700 need to do and we will do and that needs to be in place permanently uh some of these other tools

00:05:40.780 uh like uh the sharing of information between law enforcement and financial services and the requirement of

00:05:51.180 financial services to be reviewing their accounts proactively and the immunity from prosecution that

00:05:59.260 we have provided to them in doing this these are extraordinary measures measures that we absolutely

00:06:06.220 believe are necessary in the current circumstances that are having an impact and let me also point

00:06:11.660 out having a peaceful impact uh and the other aspect of the financial tools that i would point

00:06:18.780 to as being really effective and important is uh being clear that insurance on trucks

00:06:27.340 that participate in these illegal occupations and blockades will be suspended

00:06:32.860 so we didn't have those tools i don't believe that those tools should be part of the toolbox of a

00:06:41.420 government in ordinary times but they are necessary in these extraordinary circumstances and uh they are having

00:06:49.580 a very uh clear impact do you suddenly trust trudeau and freeland now why would you it is relevant

00:06:58.460 that christia freeland's grandfather was a nazi it is relevant that she helped him cover that up i'm

00:07:04.540 curious what political lessons he taught her that she's applying now but i should tell you the

00:07:10.860 emergencies are not over there is an official state of emergency in ontario that the fool doug ford invoked

00:07:18.220 and it is being used brutally being used by trudeau actually let me show you how look at this story that

00:07:24.140 i just saw today in the truck news mto that's the ministry of transportation of ontario grounds

00:07:30.780 trucking businesses involved in freedom convoy protests it's from today's trucking a trudeau

00:07:38.380 publication by which i mean they take trudeau's media bailout the ontario ministry of transportation

00:07:43.820 has effectively shut down 39 trucking businesses in the wake of a crackdown on so-called freedom convoy

00:07:48.780 protestors oh just that so they're protesters who as far as we know have not been charged with any crime

00:07:57.660 but they've just had their businesses shut down what does that mean to have your business

00:08:01.740 shut down the business they've built up their whole lives maybe a a truck a company license insurance

00:08:07.660 all the parts of it just just ended no trial no judge no hearing no appeal no ruling just happened just

00:08:14.460 done and of course it was done by doug ford but at ottawa's direction so there still is an emergency

00:08:21.580 act in effect in the city of ottawa and the province of ontario doug ford is just stupid enough to let it

00:08:27.820 be on him stupidity for sure let me show you the stupidest thing i've seen all day you really have to see 0.97

00:08:34.300 this to know the moral and intellectual character the people who rule over you so this is from your

00:08:38.860 ara sax that's i as i said yesterday she's in a battle to the death with seamus o'regan for the 0.73

00:08:44.860 title of stupidest mp uh in the country and i'm rooting for her because she's my mp in north toronto 1.00

00:08:51.580 here she is inconsequential in every other way for all i know she has never set foot on parliament hill

00:08:56.860 never done anything for all i can detect i literally wouldn't know the difference

00:09:01.420 until this spectacular speech in favor of martial law how many guns need to be seized

00:09:10.380 how much vitriol do we have to see of hong hong which is an acronym for hail hitler

00:09:17.100 do we need to see by these protesters on social media imagine saying that and then having trudeau

00:09:23.980 throw it out she thinks hong hong stands for hile hitler but she can't really believe that can she

00:09:30.460 i mean she just she was just told to say that right because it's so ridiculous but she's jewish 0.97

00:09:35.100 so she only has one use to trudeau which is to convince jews to vote liberal and to smear 0.80

00:09:39.900 non-liberals as nazis so of course they gave her that ridiculous speech to read i mean seamus 0.87

00:09:44.860 o'regan wouldn't work with him so she read it she's like uh ron burgundy the fictional newscaster who

00:09:51.500 would literally read anything put in his teleprompter hey you're making me look stupid get out here 0.84

00:09:58.940 panda jerk great story compelling and rich well that's going to do it for all of us here at channel

00:10:07.260 4 news you stay classy san diego i'm ron burgundy yeah i'm so proud of my local mpr sex she really

00:10:16.700 was world famous for stupidity and so i feel special but she obviously felt stung by the worldwide

00:10:23.580 reaction to that speech that went viral internationally so she doubled down she tried

00:10:28.460 to prove she was right i swear here's what she said she went on twitter and said for those who

00:10:33.260 think that hong hong is some innocuous joke i'll just leave this here so she tweeted this as proof 0.97

00:10:39.500 this is a thread outlining a crazy conspiracy theory let's skip straight to this image just take a look

00:10:46.460 at that there this looks like it's from a humorous troll website called 4chan it's where teenagers

00:10:53.260 cook up schemes and share jokes and tricks on the normies normal people you might be able to detect

00:10:59.660 a little bit of that from the frog dressed up as a clown and the fact that the message is written by

00:11:06.780 anonymous do you see that you can also see that it's dated february 19th so long after the honking

00:11:14.060 had been ordered stopped by the judge so this was just someone who cooked up a joke on the weekend

00:11:18.060 and look what he says he says why honk honk is the next okay sign honk honk equals hh if you honk you're

00:11:27.660 a honky and hh presumably is hitler that's where you are sex and so let me repeat this is a joke 0.99

00:11:35.740 website by anonymous jokesters maybe the clown gave it away i don't know maybe the reference to the next

00:11:41.740 okay sign these are the people who made the hoax that the okay hand symbol is a hate symbol

00:11:48.460 and the idiots in the mainstream media ate it up it was it was a joke to trick them everyone makes that

00:11:54.140 hand symbol from time to time you might detect that this is a joke but yara sacks literally cites this

00:12:01.180 anonymous frog clown who makes reference to the last hoax the liberals bought and comes up with the

00:12:07.820 craziest theory and i mean seriously he even says the word honk is related to honky

00:12:15.420 which is a derogatory word for white people and yara sacks cites this as her authority this is why

00:12:23.100 she said canada had to be under martial law for those who think that hong kong is some innocuous joke

00:12:31.180 yeah you are the joke you literally link to a clown referring to a past joke making to a new joke

00:12:37.740 you're that stupid congratulations to everyone involved so that's the funny part my mp is the 0.77

00:12:44.780 dumbest in canada take that seamus o'regan we're not done though uh there are emergency powers across 0.56

00:12:53.340 the country i mentioned ontario's of course there are emergency style powers being used to justify

00:12:59.500 forced vaccine mandates being used to justify no-fly lists against unvaccinated people as if

00:13:05.100 they're terrorists being used to justify every sort of cruelty that was once unthinkable i think the

00:13:12.540 truckers have a win today but the cruelty of the state remains with us i think justin trudeau's next move

00:13:20.300 will be to do it right he'll make sure there's no pesky independent journalists before he goes to

00:13:26.860 implement martial law that's what i predict stay with us more ahead

00:13:44.300 well as you know the leader of the convoy is a mysterious question i suppose because i don't

00:13:50.300 think there really was a leader i think so much of it was organic it was sort of um spontaneous

00:13:57.100 there were different threads of the convoy there were different convoys there were

00:14:00.860 convoys heading from different parts of the country there were blockades in different parts

00:14:05.260 there was coots there was emerson there was the ambassador bridge there was ottawa there was surrey

00:14:10.860 there may have been some chatter back and forth but i really think they were local locally inspired you

00:14:17.180 know they say think globally act locally i think that's really what happened i think the ottawa movement

00:14:23.660 uh may have had some more official people but again what does that even mean if it's just a trucker

00:14:29.660 deciding to go along with it i think the woman who can be called the leader if there was a leader 0.99

00:14:36.940 is a young metis woman from the west named tamara litch who herself is not a trucker

00:14:41.180 but was inspired by them and inspired them and she is the one who put up the gofundme page that

00:14:49.020 caught fire raised 10 million dollars before it was shut down at trudeau's bidding

00:14:54.540 she then set up a new account at give send go and that was hacked and seized by a bank so i don't

00:15:00.860 know how much of that money has actually flowed to truckers i don't think the answer is much at all

00:15:05.580 and i'm not sure if tamara litch was like a commander giving orders i just don't think 0.93

00:15:10.780 that was her style her facebook videos were very much more emotional and heartfelt

00:15:17.100 but if there was the leader of the truckers i say it would be her although again i say i don't think

00:15:23.500 the men in coots or emerson or surrey even know her that said she was arrested the other night on the

00:15:31.980 street in ottawa taken into custody and yesterday was her bail hearing for what for riot for sedition

00:15:41.180 for insurrection for some serious crime like that no for inciting mischief incredibly

00:15:51.100 she was not granted bail murderers in this country are granted bail terrorists are granted bail

00:15:58.460 but not a trucker accused of mischief joining us now via skype from ottawa is a lawyer who watched

00:16:05.900 the proceedings matt wolfson he is with david amber law a firm that works with rebel news and the

00:16:11.740 democracy fudge matt matt joins us now via skype matt thanks very much for taking the time you're a

00:16:17.020 lawyer in ottawa you practice criminal law from time to time i take it actually we practice exclusively

00:16:23.500 criminal law and quasi criminal such as regulatory offenses like highway traffic act well that would

00:16:29.820 be right on point because of course i don't think there's been any crimes that have been charged in

00:16:35.900 the city of ottawa i don't think there were any violence committed i think they would have been

00:16:40.060 parking type offenses tickets really or mischief which is really the lowest species of any

00:16:45.980 criminal charge i can imagine

00:16:47.420 um by the way you guys are taking cases for the democracy fund which i think is great um

00:16:55.260 refresh my memory because it's been ages since i was in criminal court i used to be a lawyer way

00:17:00.540 back in the day the two tests for keeping someone in jail while they await trial are number one

00:17:09.740 are they a flight risk as in will they run away and not come back to court on their hearing

00:17:14.700 and number two are they a danger if they're out so jeffrey epstein for example who had multiple

00:17:22.620 passports and private jets obviously he was a flight risk and then there's the danger would you commit

00:17:30.060 more crimes neither of these things i can imagine would normally be applied to a trucker accused of

00:17:37.180 mischief but there you have it she she wasn't granted bail was she no she was not as for a few

00:17:45.900 things in response to that is uh i think there are going to be a wide array i think there have been a

00:17:51.500 wide array of uh charges coming down the pike in relation to this uh demonstration as you've identified

00:17:58.140 the most common one does seem to be mischief through interference uh with lawful use or enjoyment of

00:18:04.060 property we're also seeing a lot of breach of court order under section 127 that's the injunction and

00:18:11.260 you can imagine a lot of protest related uh resist peace officer type charges would be coming down the

00:18:17.500 pike what you say about the two tests for bail uh historically that was accurate but in 2002 the

00:18:24.380 supreme court decided a case called hull which has been codified into the criminal code and that third

00:18:30.460 prong really is the uh public repute to the administration of justice in other words the

00:18:36.460 confidence in the administration of justice should a person be released miss lich was detained on the

00:18:42.300 second ground as you identified the substantial likelihood of committing new offenses and of the

00:18:48.540 third criterion as well the repute of the administration of justice okay so i thank you for

00:18:55.260 correct me on that it's been a while since i was in a criminal court um so they say that the reputation

00:19:04.460 of the law requires she be held behind bars omer cotter convicted terrorist war criminal murderer

00:19:14.460 i guess that didn't bring the justice system into disrepute i was just going through different cases of

00:19:19.820 accused murderers who have been let out on bail i just don't understand how tamara litch who is a 1.00

00:19:29.260 harmless political organizer the worst thing she ever did was say the phrase hold the line which i don't 1.00

00:19:37.340 know quite what that even means if all the truckers have left ottawa i don't know how that's what mischief

00:19:43.020 she could get up to if the truckers are gone but that was used to keep her behind behind bars

00:19:50.460 yeah well i mean i won't get into you know different cases for comparison because each case

00:19:55.820 is going to turn on its facts what i will state is you've correctly identified as were that quite often

00:20:02.380 when looking at that third criterion um we're often going to be looking at the severity of the

00:20:08.700 offense and the harms that come with it and granted this was by no means a means offense

00:20:14.460 this was uh you know it's generally unusual for a person to be detained on mischief alone although

00:20:22.220 miss litch was charged with another offense as well but nothing about this has been usual this has been

00:20:27.820 quite unprecedented and unprecedented and what uh justice bourgeois really um for lack of better

00:20:37.180 terminology hung her hat on was that this was a protest or a demonstration that uh contributed to 1.00

00:20:47.020 in her words the financial physical and uh mental harm to the the people of ottawa her view was that

00:20:54.700 miss litch was uh counseling and continued to counsel at the time of her rest when the truckers were

00:21:00.300 still there it was for that reason that her honor believed that there'd be a substantial likelihood that

00:21:05.340 she would continue to counsel more mischief well she better stay in prison than i guess you know um 1.00

00:21:11.900 i didn't see it till afterwards but this judge bourgeois is her name um is a liberal now normally i 0.85

00:21:18.940 don't think i would heavily remark on that because most judges have a political hue which is how they

00:21:25.020 suck up to the justice minister of the day and typically liberal justice ministers appoint liberal lawyers

00:21:31.260 and conservative justices appoint liberal lawyers but um what's different about this judge is she 0.94

00:21:38.860 wasn't just a liberal she was a liberal candidate for whom justin trudeau campaigned there's a

00:21:45.820 video circulating of trudeau stumping for this judge when she was a lawyer she failed as a political

00:21:53.900 candidate was given the appointment to the bench and of all the judges in ottawa she was the one

00:22:00.140 assigned this case and her ruling was very political how would this judge have been chosen

00:22:07.820 for this case could the government have shopped around and chosen their judge would it have been

00:22:13.020 assigned by the chief judge of all the judges in the country to hear the case of trudeau's most

00:22:21.180 unrepentant political critic for it to go to this judge seems highly unusual to me

00:22:26.460 yeah i i don't know that's right i really don't have too much comments about that i i don't have

00:22:34.300 any reason to think or comment about this being a politically motivated appointment to the case

00:22:40.940 all i can state is uh in canada we are very very lucky to have a um to have a very well appointed judiciary

00:22:51.260 with a lot of integrity and wit and um i just have nothing but confidence in the members of our bench

00:22:59.900 they serve with a lot of integrity and they're some of the top legal minds in the country well i think

00:23:05.740 you are uh saying what you have to say as an officer of the court and of course you don't want the law

00:23:11.740 society to come after you so fair deal i'll leave that alone now i was surprised um to learn because

00:23:17.820 i was following along i wasn't watching the video online i was watching other journalists live tweet

00:23:22.620 it and it didn't feel to me like um tamara litch had legal counsel the the things she was saying her 1.00

00:23:31.260 the things that her guarantor were saying felt um like they were unpracticed or felt like they were just

00:23:40.060 providing too easy a way for the the government to hold her in jail but you you're saying that there was

00:23:46.620 a lawyer and i think i confirmed that that the justice center for constitutional freedoms

00:23:50.460 actually did hire senior legal counsel for is that true she was represented by counsel yes um and in

00:23:58.620 response to what you just said ezra this is this was a bail hearing with probably some of the most

00:24:05.100 unusual evidence that you could expect nothing was well very little was usual about this uh bail hearing

00:24:12.300 it was quite entertaining i think what you might be alluding to really is the um the way in which

00:24:18.780 her proposed surety testified um it it wasn't it wasn't great so the proposed surety that's basically

00:24:26.780 if someone says look i'll i'll take responsibility for this woman i'll make sure that she doesn't get 1.00

00:24:31.660 into trouble i'll keep an eye peeled on her that's what you mean by a surety the person who is basically

00:24:36.220 going to say i'll be a human checker upper your honor is that right yeah basically you're jailer

00:24:41.500 in the community a responsible person to ensure that uh that the accused is abiding by the conditions

00:24:49.100 of his or her release and you're and you think that maybe some of the things that the the proposed uh

00:24:54.540 guarantor surety said may have given you you say was entertaining or unusual is there anything in

00:25:00.940 particular you can tell us about it like what what was weird about it well the top thing that came to

00:25:06.620 my mind was uh the crown prosecutor questioned uh her husband the proposed surety as to uh how he had

00:25:16.060 uh come to ottawa and this is in the context of him stating that he didn't really have uh finances or he

00:25:25.580 wasn't eating very much when he came to ottawa and yet he noted that he came to ottawa by plane uh and

00:25:32.540 it came out later in evidence that he came by private plane now when pressed who when pressed on

00:25:38.780 who paid for his ticket he said he didn't know the person who paid for his ticket he then changed his

00:25:44.540 answer and uh stated that he um he didn't want to give his name and then he gave his first name so that

00:25:52.860 was a bit of evasive testimony that i really think disqualified him as a person the court could count

00:25:59.740 on as uh could count on to be assuredy well that is too bad if that's the case i can understand why

00:26:07.500 someone would not want to disclose who helped a fella fly out there given the witch hunt uh i'm i'm

00:26:14.220 guessing that he was afraid that if he named whoever sent the plane that he would cause that person to

00:26:21.420 have their bank account frozen um i mean it it sounds goofy on one from one point of view but

00:26:28.700 another point of view is i'm pretty sure that if that person were identified they would find themselves

00:26:35.740 with their plane seized their bank account seized and their their business licensure and their insurance

00:26:42.700 canceled i mean i it i don't think it's quite as goofy as it looks i think it's because we live under

00:26:48.940 suspended civil liberties right now that's that's my explanation of what you just said yeah well it's

00:26:55.340 uh i mean we still don't know who that person is since people have their loyalties no doubt i think

00:27:01.020 one thing that you're alluding to is as res uh a lot of what's going on down there has is i think

00:27:08.860 has been symptomatic of the divided country and um there are people who are going to take one position or the

00:27:16.460 other and are going to be looked on with a lot of suspicion by those on the other side

00:27:23.260 um when is the hearing so how long is she going to be in jail now um is there a date set or is she 0.97

00:27:31.260 going to be in jail indefinitely does it make sense to try and appeal this bail ruling or is she going to

00:27:36.460 be out in a week or so anyways so what can happen what what normally would happen is after 90 days there

00:27:44.380 would be a detention review if there hasn't been a review already the superior a judge of the superior

00:27:50.780 court would look to see whether or not the uh the detention should have been ordered whether or not

00:27:56.380 that person should still be detained and the purpose of that is to ensure that people don't

00:28:00.860 need to languish in custody unnecessarily what can happen in the interim and before that is under section

00:28:07.260 520 of the criminal code the accused can review um can the accused can request the court to review the

00:28:15.500 order to see whether or not it should have been made in the first place and um whether or not that's

00:28:20.700 going to happen soon i'm not sure well i think i think it's notable that the again i'm not sure if i

00:28:27.980 would call her the leader of the truckers i think the truckers were in many ways leaderless but i think if

00:28:33.740 anyone could be called the leader of the truckers it would be her and it's remarkable to me that the

00:28:41.260 most effective political organizer or political critic of justin trudeau in years is thrown in prison

00:28:50.060 for mischief reasons and we just think that's fine as a society no not serious crimes the one of the most

00:28:59.900 minor crimes in the criminal code because her husband didn't want to say who sent him on a plane

00:29:06.300 out there so she languishes in prison for up to 90 days or longer i think that's deeply disgraceful on 0.97

00:29:14.700 the same legal system that claimed to put her in jail to keep up the reputation of the legal system 1.00

00:29:21.100 throwing trudeau's political opponent in prison for 90 days i don't think that has the effect that judge

00:29:27.340 bourgeois wants well listen i appreciate you speaking uh as an officer of the court i know

00:29:32.140 you're limited in what you can say and that's smart no use getting under uh no use having your

00:29:37.660 law uh license prosecuted because you say the wrong things and we're in dangerous days

00:29:43.100 i think lawyers for truckers and lawyers for anyone who's charged are in a dangerous position these days

00:29:51.100 so i'm glad that you and your firm are taking some of the cases for the truckers and uh

00:29:55.580 the democracy fund i know is is covering the bills for at least some of them so i thank you for that

00:30:00.300 work uh do you yourself have any of the cases that your firm has taken from people charged in the

00:30:06.140 convoy in ottawa well yeah we're on my end pertain some cases um and what i i just would like to say in

00:30:14.220 response to what you have uh just said ezra if i can weigh in pre-sentence and pre-trial custody

00:30:21.660 is supposed to be rare it is a very rare thing to be ordered and it's it's important that i note that

00:30:30.380 because people who are detained in custody have enormous pressure to bring the matter to a close

00:30:36.300 sooner and i think it's just worth noting that yeah well of course i mean uh we see that in alberta

00:30:45.820 too just sorry pastor arthur pavlovsky is thrown in prison he languishes in prison right now completely

00:30:52.540 non-violent man tamara litch wouldn't hurt a flea languishes in prison right now completely non-violent 1.00

00:30:59.580 woman both of them prosecuted under emergency rules i think it's a disgrace i'm glad you're

00:31:06.780 representing some of these folks and thanks for giving us an update on things matt appreciate it

00:31:12.380 thank you all right there you have it matt wolfson he's a lawyer with david amber law office

00:31:17.660 they are representing some of the truckers who were arrested in ottawa stay with us more ahead

00:31:29.580 hey welcome back your letters someone with the nickname truth seeker says

00:31:39.980 that criteria for a state of emergency was not met this is a criminal operation and these cops are

00:31:44.620 criminals canadians are getting the exact amount of tyranny they are prepared to tolerate freedom is

00:31:49.340 not free if you won't put your life on the line to protect your freedom some tyrant is going to come

00:31:53.980 along and take it from you and your children i don't think i would say police who were just out

00:31:59.660 on the street were criminals but the police who attacked alexa the police who attacked guillaume

00:32:06.940 our cameraman the police who stormed into a crowd on horseback injuring that elderly lady i would say

00:32:14.540 that those are crimes police can commit crimes and when they do they must be charged with those crimes

00:32:21.420 to maintain the reputation of the rest of the police i think it may go to the top i think that

00:32:26.940 the police chief obviously was a rogue police chief the previous chief in ottawa was fired i think because

00:32:32.780 he wouldn't do these terrible things so yeah i think that there have been some atrocious acts of policing

00:32:39.100 and even if other police didn't engage in the conduct they approved it

00:32:43.580 it someone with the nickname deborah star says you sure are scrambling because truth is getting out

00:32:51.900 there reaching more places and people well you know um today i checked and we had a milestone

00:32:58.460 last night i think we now have more than one million people who have signed up for rebel news emails one

00:33:04.860 million and my estimate is that we have based on analytics on twitter and youtube and rumble and

00:33:12.940 and other measurements is that in the last 30 days we have had 400 million views and impressions 400

00:33:21.260 million i think it took us like three years to get our first 400 million and we had 400 million in

00:33:27.820 the last month i really think the rebel news had a big role to play in shining a light of scrutiny on

00:33:33.180 things i don't want to take more credit than it's due and of course by credit i give it to our reporters

00:33:38.300 but i think that the enormous amount of coverage that rebel news achieved helped turn the tables

00:33:45.100 helped show people the evil that was afoot i think so dt hunter production says it is sobering

00:33:53.100 when we see so many people so willing to lie to others about what is happening with the refutable

00:33:58.220 video proof they still try to spin things in a disinformational narrative i've come to think

00:34:03.180 the liberals and the supporters are basically more interested in supporting the left of narrative

00:34:07.820 than to report accurate information that live that in the end could save lives of their fellow

00:34:12.620 countrymen oh there is no other excuse and and i think that you're going to see misinformation and

00:34:19.020 censorship as the next as the next move i think you're already seeing it let me leave you with our video

00:34:24.860 of the day ottawa police assaulting rebel reporters but investigating protesters for merely

00:34:31.500 hackling mainstream media it's a video by our friend david menzies until tomorrow on behalf of all of us

00:34:37.420 here at rebel world headquarters to you at home good night keep fighting for freedom david menzies for

00:34:43.580 rebel news here at ottawa police headquarters well folks there's going to be a press conference here soon

00:34:50.460 and we're going to go in if they let us in i think they will and i've got a couple of questions to ask

00:34:55.660 one why is it that my colleague alexa lavoie was shot point blank yesterday for simply practicing

00:35:03.340 journalism in public secondly was the emergency services act really needed to shut down this

00:35:10.300 peaceful demonstration i mean i don't think it met the benchmarks i.e uh the safety of canadians

00:35:17.500 are at stake the sovereignty of canada is threatened so i want to see what the chief of the ottawa police

00:35:24.940 service has to say about that i still can't say when uh we will ultimately need to complete this

00:35:31.900 operation because we now need to enter into a maintenance portion of it to make sure that what

00:35:37.900 occurred three weeks ago can never occur again so we will continue to have a posture protect their

00:35:44.700 streets where so we protect our community members from unlawful organizations like the curb

00:35:50.300 now we're moving forward for as long as it takes

00:35:58.540 we are here to be able to respect the laws under the emergency measures and we are going to continue

00:36:07.020 with the future

00:36:20.860 good afternoon chief uh david menzies with rebel news um chief can you kindly explain how it was that my

00:36:27.740 colleague to my right here alexa lavoie was shot point blank with a tear gas canister doing some very 0.88

00:36:36.780 painful damage to her what was the reason for that given that she was simply practicing journalism in

00:36:43.500 the public square uh so i'm unfamiliar with the incident you're speaking of what i can tell you is

00:36:49.740 that there is complaint mechanisms there is review mechanisms that will be engaged following this for

00:36:55.580 any use of force uh incident that occurred i'll also say that it's been my uh observations and

00:37:02.940 experience through the amazing extensive journalism coverage that's occurred through this that the

00:37:07.900 vast majority of our members have been extremely professional they have ex executed an extremely

00:37:14.780 methodical plan that has been focused on the safety of uh the residents the safety of our officers

00:37:21.820 and the safety of the people engaged in the protest given that the emergencies act requires certain

00:37:28.780 benchmarks to be met such as the safety of canadians must be at peril uh the sovereignty of the nation

00:37:36.220 must be at peril do you think those benchmarks were met given this was uh for what i could tell

00:37:44.220 a largely peaceful demonstration and protest so i guess i'm asking did you really need to have this act

00:37:51.740 invoked in terms of uh what were minor unlawful uh acts and uh basically bylaw infractions uh so what

00:38:01.900 the the federal government the provincial government both uh enacted legislation that was absolutely

00:38:08.700 supportive to helping us to end the illegal occupation of our streets uh what could be described as bylaw

00:38:15.660 infractions were actually terrorizing moments for the city uh for the city the residents and the

00:38:21.500 communities that came around those areas uh the powers that were provided to us through the

00:38:26.460 emergencies act through the provincial emergency act through the injunction and through any of the

00:38:31.980 other legislative means that we got to end this protest were extremely beneficial in us being able

00:38:37.980 to be where we are today see clear streets and have residents that can again walk through their downtown

00:38:43.660 core that they own thank you well folks i think that was fascinating first of all in terms of the

00:38:49.660 emergency services act the chief said it was essentially a good tool for them to carry out the um i guess

00:38:58.060 deconstruction of the protest site federal government the provincial government both uh enacted legislation

00:39:05.420 that was absolutely supportive to helping us to end the illegal occupation of our streets but really did

00:39:12.860 they need it i mean there were already laws and bylaws on the books that would allow police to move in and do

00:39:21.740 this in the first place uh i don't think there was any threat to the sovereignty of canada or any threat to

00:39:28.700 individual canadians in fact the crime rate during the so-called occupation went down in ottawa what does that

00:39:35.500 tell you and then of course he was unfamiliar with the assault to my colleague alexa lavoie uh so i'm

00:39:43.580 unfamiliar with the incident you're speaking of maybe the chief is telling the truth but given that it's

00:39:48.380 received international coverage i'm kind of taking his answer with a shovel full of salt and finally did you

00:39:55.500 catch what the chief said at the end he was lauding the media coverage of the demonstration and of the

00:40:03.180 take down of this weekend uh that would be the mainstream media coverage of course

00:40:11.660 i'd just like to make one uh just to make a couple more last comments if you don't mind please

00:40:15.900 so um first of all what i'd like to say is uh the the media coverage the participation from the media

00:40:22.780 throughout this has has been quite incredible um the the documentation of the activities that are going

00:40:29.660 on has given people the real life experience of what's occurring out there so for that i thank you

00:40:35.420 and then he said and this really stuck with me that he was um i guess disturbed perturbed by the fact

00:40:43.740 that some of the members of the mainstream media were subjected to verbal abuse i also know the media has

00:40:50.460 been subjected to um slurs to abuse to illegal activities to themselves so we have one active

00:40:59.820 investigation ongoing right now and i would ask that if there are any more activities that need

00:41:04.860 to be reported please report them to the ottawa police service because we will take them seriously

00:41:09.500 and conduct an investigation around those activities oh really they were called nasty names they were

00:41:16.780 maybe an f-bomb was dropped evan solomon's feelings and sensibilities got hurt and again i go back to

00:41:23.660 my uh colleague alexa she gets shot point blank and gets pepper spray in her face and it's uh oh well

00:41:30.700 nothing to see here i guess this confirms the police state we're in we have the government uh enabled

00:41:38.940 police services we have the government funded media and if you have a contrarian opinion

00:41:46.780 it doesn't matter nothing to see here folks move along move along i think that is a disgrace

00:41:53.340 for rebel news i'm david the menzoid menzies
