Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ US airlines abandon mask mandate, NZ airline drops vax mandate — what's Canada's excuse？

00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. Today, I'm going to spend the whole show talking about the U.S. court case

00:00:04.200 that threw out Joe Biden's illegal mask mandate for airplanes and trains and whatnot.

00:00:13.760 It's shocking that it took so long to get to court, but hey, in Canada, not one of our cases

00:00:19.740 has gotten to the Supreme Court on lockdowns. And those that have been to lower courts,

00:00:24.340 not one lockdown-ist piece of legislation has been struck down. So although it's late,

00:00:34.060 it's better than anything we have up here. I won't give away my thoughts now. I'll take you

00:00:37.940 through it. Before I do, let me invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus. Just go

00:00:42.640 to rebelnewsplus.com. It's the video version of the show. Today, we got a great interview with

00:00:46.300 my friend Janine Yunus, who's a civil liberties lawyer in America who fights against these sorts

00:00:52.040 of things. She'll go through the ruling with me. Just go to rebelnewsplus.com. Eight bucks a month,

00:00:57.060 you get my daily video show, plus weekly shows from four other teams here. It's a lot of stuff.

00:01:03.200 And eight bucks a month, it's not a ton of dough, if I may say so, but it adds up for us. And that's

00:01:08.280 how we keep the lights on here, because we don't take any of that Trudeau money, unlike most of our

00:01:12.400 competitors. All right, here's today's show.

00:01:22.040 Tonight, airlines in the United States have abandoned their mask mandates, and a New Zealand 0.64

00:01:34.820 airline dropped their vaccine mandates. So, what's Canada's excuse since April 19th? This

00:01:40.920 is the Eyes for the Man Show.

00:01:41.940 It's atrocious that it took so long, but at least it happened. Yesterday, a U.S. judge struck down as

00:02:10.220 illegal the mask rule that applied to airlines in America. And as a sign of just how hated

00:02:16.300 these mask rules were, airplanes that were literally in flight, in the air, immediately

00:02:21.600 announced this court ruling on the PA system, and passengers spontaneously cheered and ripped

00:02:29.280 off their masks. Let me show you a few videos of that. Here's a Delta Airlines flight.

00:02:34.000 And I just checked with the company, and the company position is, the Delta position is,

00:02:39.060 masks will be optional this evening for all crew and passengers as well. So, it is cause to celebrate,

00:02:46.140 but for those who want to wear masks, please feel free to, but it is optional, and that way we can

00:02:52.800 alleviate any stress and discomfort. Thank you very much.

00:02:56.840 Here's another one.

00:02:58.140 April 18th, the Biden administration announced that the Transportation Security Administration

00:03:02.640 will no longer enforce the federal mandate requiring masks in all U.S. airports and onboard aircraft.

00:03:09.060 I can't tell which airline this next one's from, but a flight attendant singing,

00:03:23.560 Throw Away Your Masks.

00:03:24.800 Throw Away Your Masks.

00:03:25.100 Throw Away Your Masks.

00:03:34.980 Everyone hated the masks. Well, that's not quite true, is it? Some people love the masks. I don't

00:03:41.840 think anyone actually enjoys the anti-human discomfort of wearing a mask themselves. There's a reason why

00:03:49.180 no one wore them until two years ago. It's nuts. It's uncomfortable. It doesn't work. It gets in the way

00:03:55.520 of social interactions. You only did it if you were, you know, doing drywall or painting, but

00:04:00.120 people love a new rule, a rule they can follow themselves for some sort of social clout,

00:04:06.900 and a rule they can enforce against others as some sort of social clout. It became a symbol.

00:04:11.600 Us versus them, our team versus their team, and the teams were pretty political. Good people wore masks,

00:04:18.240 so wearing a mask proved you were good. This is a classic tweet from a liberal activist. This is from last year.

00:04:27.040 How can I ensure people don't think I'm a Republican? She wanted to take her mask off,

00:04:31.720 but kept it on because she wanted people to know she was a Democrat. Now, she didn't say,

00:04:35.900 how can I ensure I won't get sick or make others sick? No one believed the mask would stop that. All

00:04:42.280 the mask scolds who approached you to hector you. You don't approach someone you're medically afraid

00:04:48.600 of. You wouldn't go and talk to someone with Ebola, would you? You run from them. But the mask was a

00:04:53.940 team symbol, a belief symbol, a signal to others. I want to remind you how the mask changed us,

00:05:00.620 pitted us against each other. Not the mask itself. No one cares if you wear a mask. The mask mandate,

00:05:07.800 the mask rules, the force masking. That's what changed us. So many people embraced the force

00:05:14.520 part of it. Look at this creep. Get away from me. Put your fucking mask on. I'm sorry,

00:05:19.420 you can walk away from me right now, sir. Put your mask on. Get away from me. Put it on. Does it

00:05:24.100 bother anybody else that she doesn't have to wear a mask that we all do? Just go away. Stay six feet away 1.00

00:05:28.780 from me then. No. Get away from me. No. Please get away from me right now. No. You don't need to

00:05:36.140 come near me. She has it on her damn hand. Get away from me. That's from 2020. Here's what I wrote

00:05:43.540 about that at the time. This guy is a creepy, snitchy stalker. The mask gives him the anonymity

00:05:49.720 to behave in a way he normally wouldn't. He isn't truly worried. He walks to her, not away. But

00:05:55.740 there is another undercurrent. He hates that he is submissive and she is not. Of course,

00:06:02.900 he's not wearing the mask over his nose. It's uncomfortable. And he obviously doesn't think

00:06:06.880 it's necessary to stay safe. He just liked the power of it. Here's some transit bureaucrat in

00:06:12.860 Philadelphia. No mask. Telling other people to put on masks or to walk.

00:06:17.940 Public transportation. If you do not have a mask, you cannot ride public transportation,

00:06:24.460 sir. Sir. You have to get off the bus. You have to get off the bus. Sir. Sir.

00:06:33.100 You have to get off. You have to get off. You have to get off. You have to get off. Let's

00:06:52.420 go. I have to get off? Yes, sir. You don't have no mask. Let's go. Let's go. You got to get

00:06:58.780 off. Let's go. At least people were in that video resistant at first for a bit. That was

00:07:04.440 very early. That was April 2020. But now total compliance. And the thing is, a mask scold in a

00:07:10.980 store really had no power other than his sense of righteousness. And having a train conductor or

00:07:17.220 bus conductor become a health inspector, it's quite something. But by far, and to their eternal

00:07:22.720 discredit, police forces around the country and around the world turn wearing a rag on your face

00:07:27.840 as a test of whether or not you were to be treated like a violent criminal.

00:07:33.660 Here's 10 cops on a beach in Australia, arresting someone for not wearing a mask on a beach,

00:07:38.940 arresting him, pummeling him.

00:07:40.660 I can't. I can't because you're on. I can't because you're on.

00:07:44.960 It's a man. It's a man.

00:07:48.680 Man or whatever. 0.78

00:07:52.980 Fucking have some respect.

00:07:54.500 Please just give that girl my phone. 1.00

00:07:57.840 Put it in my bag, please.

00:07:59.660 No social distancing?

00:08:01.100 Yep.

00:08:02.780 What the hell?

00:08:05.000 I haven't done anything.

00:08:06.360 Oh, we believe you. Don't worry.

00:08:08.620 He's a 14-year-old kid who was wearing a mask. Not just wearing it right, apparently. He was

00:08:13.760 wearing it, but not correctly. Not sure where this was from. Brazil, maybe.

00:08:18.560 Oh, we serve here, papual.

00:08:27.780 Oh, no, apretes tanto.

00:08:29.480 No, apretes, abusado.

00:08:30.840 You guy, you guy.

00:08:32.240 Sello is the אני, 0.78

00:08:37.340 L 벗.

00:08:38.140 Here's a 69-year-old woman arrested and handcuffed for not wearing a mask in a park.

00:09:08.140 Here's a group of security guards at a Canadian mall just pounding the daylights out of a man who's actually a Canadian forces vet.

00:09:38.140 Because he wasn't wearing a mask.

00:09:39.420 Now, he was leaving the mall, walking out with his pregnant wife, but the mall security thought they would teach him a lesson in public health.

00:09:49.140 Hey! Hey! 0.97

00:09:52.380 What the fuck are you doing, bro?

00:09:55.200 What the fuck are you doing, bro?

00:09:57.380 Get the fuck off me! 1.00

00:10:01.240 Get the fuck off me! 1.00

00:10:02.300 Are you kidding me?

00:10:03.560 No, I'm not!

00:10:04.520 Get the fuck off me! 1.00

00:10:05.160 Don't! 0.57

00:10:05.920 Get the fuck off me! 1.00

00:10:07.140 Get off me! 1.00

00:10:08.540 Get off him! 1.00

00:10:09.540 Get the fuck off me! 1.00

00:10:10.660 This is a racist fucking bullshit!

00:10:13.420 Get the fuck off me! 1.00

00:10:15.200 Get off me, bro! 0.97

00:10:17.240 Get off him! 1.00

00:10:19.080 Get off me! 1.00

00:10:20.320 Put your hand on your back.

00:10:22.340 Get off me! 1.00

00:10:23.100 What?

00:10:25.320 Get the fuck off me, bro! 0.86

00:10:27.380 Put your hand on your back.

00:10:28.320 He's in the middle here.

00:10:29.720 You guys are so stupid.

00:10:31.000 Here's another one from a Tim Hortons.

00:10:33.960 Pepper stray and a choke hold.

00:10:35.900 Here's another one from a Tim Hortons.

00:10:37.580 Pepper stray and a choke hold.

00:10:40.460 For a mask.

00:10:42.160 There he goes somewhere out there.

00:10:43.960 The Memorial 40x.

00:10:44.540 He's in the middle of those.

00:10:45.720 Have a dog been on Anderson.

00:10:47.920 He's in the corner of those Joanna.

00:10:49.760 Peter never saw me huge the way out there만ically.

00:10:52.340 Hold on.

00:10:52.940 Let's go ahead and see.

00:10:54.040 Take off me.

00:10:55.060 I cannot find that negative?

00:10:56.700 This stuff?

00:10:57.860 Are you serious?

00:10:58.400 It's not abusive?

00:10:59.300 To have a mask?

00:11:00.600 Not an investigative story?

00:11:02.780 Truth.

00:11:05.760 What does that make your mask allow?

00:11:07.500 You want to see something super gross?

00:11:31.560 This is a funeral in the United Kingdom.

00:11:33.860 It's my privilege to have been asked to conduct our service today

00:11:40.580 to celebrate the life of Alan Wright.

00:11:45.600 I therefore offer you all a very warm welcome

00:11:48.000 as we unite in love and friendship.

00:11:50.540 We did that.

00:12:09.180 We agreed to that.

00:12:09.980 We abided that.

00:12:11.280 We accepted that.

00:12:12.120 And some of us were thrilled by that.

00:12:13.900 Some of us got involved with that

00:12:15.240 as volunteer enforcers of that,

00:12:17.580 enablers at the very least.

00:12:21.460 You know, I've shown you this photo before.

00:12:23.220 We all say we would have been different in the 1930s.

00:12:26.140 We'd have been the guy with the circle around him here,

00:12:28.100 August Landmaster, the one guy,

00:12:30.000 not saluting Hitler and a mob of Nazis.

00:12:31.840 Yeah, no, you wouldn't have.

00:12:33.540 At least not 99% of you.

00:12:35.300 So I'm pretty thrilled

00:12:36.320 that the masks on the planes are gone,

00:12:38.920 in America at least.

00:12:39.800 And I'm thrilled to see the true joy from passengers

00:12:42.600 and flight attendants and pilots alike.

00:12:44.720 In a small way, they were liberated,

00:12:46.460 a bit like the day the Berlin Wall came down,

00:12:49.040 except the Soviet bloc never had the audacity

00:12:51.460 to monitor or regulate even what you wore on your face

00:12:54.580 or how you sat at a funeral

00:12:56.280 or who you had at your house.

00:12:58.060 Even the cruel Soviets did not ban children 1.00

00:13:00.700 from playing outside.

00:13:02.540 They're putting up the tape here

00:13:05.420 at the playground again in Caterina.

00:13:11.460 And a lot of them came to wait to see

00:13:14.260 that it was going to tape it up again.

00:13:17.020 And they are.

00:13:18.120 Yeah, no outdoors playing, no sports, no exercise.

00:13:25.360 Stay at home and subscribe to Netflix and Disney Plus

00:13:28.920 and order in fast food.

00:13:30.820 That's the public health message.

00:13:32.540 Two years of obedience to that.

00:13:34.280 So yeah, glad to see the cheers,

00:13:36.240 including from the flight attendant enforcers

00:13:37.640 who until one minute prior

00:13:39.200 would have threatened to kick you off the plane

00:13:40.880 for not wearing a mask.

00:13:43.640 Hey, what's that line?

00:13:45.000 We get right.

00:13:45.780 We were just following orders.

00:13:46.860 Well, within hours of that ruling,

00:13:50.020 the court judgment ricocheted across America.

00:13:55.460 Uber lifts its mask mandate requirement,

00:13:58.600 telling customers,

00:14:00.180 if you ever feel uncomfortable,

00:14:01.960 you can always cancel the trip.

00:14:04.800 Yeah, look, no one's going to cancel their trip.

00:14:07.140 They're just going to complain about it,

00:14:08.820 tweet about it,

00:14:10.080 humiliate the working class drivers about it 0.80

00:14:12.280 if they're not masking up.

00:14:14.580 Here's the White House Jen Psaki,

00:14:16.040 a spokesman for Biden.

00:14:17.120 But really, I think she's more accurately

00:14:20.100 called a shadow president

00:14:21.260 or even a real vice president.

00:14:22.820 Listen to her.

00:14:23.940 First, the federal judge in Florida

00:14:25.440 says the CDC exceeded its authority

00:14:28.120 with the mask mandate in airports.

00:14:30.720 What's the White House position?

00:14:32.400 The CDC recommended continuing the order

00:14:34.640 for additional time, two weeks,

00:14:36.520 to be able to assess the latest science

00:14:39.180 in keeping with its responsibility

00:14:40.840 to protect the American people.

00:14:42.960 So this is obviously a disappointing decision.

00:14:45.780 The CDC continues recommending

00:14:47.440 wearing a mask in public transit.

00:14:49.620 As you know, this just came out this afternoon.

00:14:51.660 So right now, the Department of Homeland Security,

00:14:53.980 who would be implementing,

00:14:55.260 and the CDC are reviewing the decision.

00:14:57.120 And of course, the Department of Justice

00:14:58.520 would make any determinations about litigation.

00:15:01.600 That's an interesting answer.

00:15:02.940 The CDC said only wanted the mask mandate

00:15:05.940 for two more weeks.

00:15:07.140 Now, that's a laugh.

00:15:08.240 This whole lockdown

00:15:08.840 was supposed to only last two weeks.

00:15:10.600 So the word means nothing.

00:15:12.480 But this court ruling literally came in

00:15:14.240 at the last moment.

00:15:16.800 99% done.

00:15:18.180 Psaki said they're considering litigation,

00:15:20.400 by which she means considering

00:15:21.440 trying to appeal the decision.

00:15:23.460 I'm pretty sure she won't,

00:15:24.480 because although she truly does love masks

00:15:27.020 and lockdowns,

00:15:27.940 for the little people, of course,

00:15:29.200 not for herself,

00:15:30.080 people hate it.

00:15:30.960 And they hate lockdowns.

00:15:32.240 And for Biden to go to court

00:15:33.660 to fight to bring back forced masks now

00:15:36.540 would be a disaster in the fall elections,

00:15:38.880 just half a year away.

00:15:39.960 By the way, the judge did not say

00:15:41.800 that mask laws are illegal.

00:15:44.300 She just said that the CDC,

00:15:45.980 which stands for the Centers for Disease Control,

00:15:47.640 is basically a group of health bureaucrats.

00:15:49.520 The judge just said

00:15:50.400 they don't have the power

00:15:51.180 to write laws like that.

00:15:53.120 So the Democrats,

00:15:54.320 who control both the Houses of Congress

00:15:55.860 and the White House,

00:15:57.240 they could pass the law properly.

00:15:58.760 Of course, I don't think they will.

00:16:00.420 This judge did them a huge favor, actually,

00:16:02.400 removed a deeply unpopular policy for them,

00:16:05.600 helps them save face on the whole thing.

00:16:07.620 Here's an angry journalist, though.

00:16:12.180 Upset that the federal mask mandate

00:16:14.000 for transit and planes has been struck down?

00:16:16.860 Blame federal judge Catherine Kimball-Mazell, 0.83

00:16:19.480 the 35-year-old Trump appointee

00:16:21.520 who made the ruling.

00:16:22.780 She was rated not qualified

00:16:24.220 by the American Bar Association.

00:16:26.960 Of course, because the American Bar Association

00:16:28.640 is a left-wing lawyers union,

00:16:30.900 just like the Canadian Bar Association is.

00:16:32.980 It's just Democrats.

00:16:33.800 She seems pretty qualified to me,

00:16:37.080 but it's true, she is young.

00:16:39.000 The Democrats normally don't mind

00:16:40.320 young people in politics.

00:16:41.400 They want 16-year-olds to vote.

00:16:43.380 They're awfully dedicated

00:16:44.980 to teaching radical gender theory

00:16:46.600 to children in kindergarten or grade school.

00:16:49.360 What they hate about Judge Mizell

00:16:51.180 is not that she's young or even a woman.

00:16:54.000 They hate that she's a conservative

00:16:56.020 who upholds the Constitution.

00:16:58.240 That's what they really hate about her.

00:17:00.480 I love this picture here.

00:17:01.820 I don't know if you've seen it.

00:17:02.760 Here she is with Justice Clarence Thomas.

00:17:04.920 She clerked for him.

00:17:06.040 He's the most conservative judge

00:17:07.880 on the Supreme Court.

00:17:08.860 They hate him, too,

00:17:09.980 because he's conservative,

00:17:10.900 not because he's black.

00:17:13.020 That's why they hate her.

00:17:14.000 It's a 59-page ruling,

00:17:16.100 but let me read just two sentences from it

00:17:18.320 right at the end.

00:17:20.600 She says,

00:17:21.220 it is indisputable

00:17:22.500 that the public

00:17:23.180 has a strong interest

00:17:24.360 in combating the spread of COVID-19.

00:17:27.080 In the pursuit of that end,

00:17:28.380 the CDC issued the mask mandate,

00:17:30.840 but the mandate exceeded

00:17:32.040 the CDC's statutory authority,

00:17:34.820 improperly invoked

00:17:35.880 the good cause exception

00:17:37.780 to notice and comment rulemaking,

00:17:40.120 and failed to adequately

00:17:42.260 explain its decisions.

00:17:44.400 Because our system

00:17:45.620 does not permit agencies

00:17:46.740 to act unlawfully,

00:17:48.500 even in pursuit of desirable ends,

00:17:50.960 the court declares unlawful

00:17:52.340 and vacates the mask mandate.

00:17:54.840 So that's some legal jargon there,

00:17:56.240 but in case you're unaware,

00:17:58.260 new regulations in America

00:17:59.540 have to be open

00:18:00.420 to public scrutiny,

00:18:01.680 public comment,

00:18:02.420 people who are effective

00:18:03.640 have the right to raise issues,

00:18:05.120 ask questions,

00:18:06.220 challenge the regulations,

00:18:07.160 but this was done

00:18:08.040 without any of that.

00:18:09.960 It was just King Anthony Fauci

00:18:11.680 just issuing decrees.

00:18:13.840 That's why it was struck down.

00:18:15.060 Same thing happened up here

00:18:16.000 in Canada, of course,

00:18:17.100 but we don't have

00:18:17.880 as strong a democracy

00:18:19.640 as Americans do. 0.95

00:18:20.460 We don't have the same

00:18:21.240 checks and balances

00:18:22.300 on regulations and bureaucrats.

00:18:24.820 We don't have courts

00:18:25.480 that uphold the laws,

00:18:26.960 even against do-gooders

00:18:28.040 like the CDC.

00:18:29.160 Don't ever say

00:18:29.900 that our Canadian legal system

00:18:31.920 is better than America's. 0.91

00:18:33.840 For all the talk

00:18:34.740 about the Charter of Rights

00:18:35.720 and Freedoms,

00:18:37.140 how much it is

00:18:38.040 at our core as Canadians,

00:18:39.860 yeah,

00:18:40.520 well, that's what I've heard

00:18:41.200 my whole life

00:18:41.820 and certainly when I was

00:18:42.620 in law school,

00:18:43.240 but the Charter of Rights

00:18:44.540 has not stopped

00:18:45.360 a single out-of-control

00:18:47.540 bureaucrat or politician

00:18:48.580 in this country

00:18:49.240 during the pandemic.

00:18:49.960 Don't be proud

00:18:50.820 of our courts.

00:18:52.280 What a laugh they are.

00:18:54.900 They hate this judge

00:18:55.800 because she's a young,

00:18:56.800 strong, smart woman. 0.96

00:18:59.060 If she had ruled 0.92

00:19:00.020 the other way

00:19:00.620 and was a Democrat,

00:19:01.460 they would already

00:19:02.000 be talking about

00:19:03.020 putting her on

00:19:03.480 the Supreme Court,

00:19:04.400 but she was appointed

00:19:05.660 by Donald Trump,

00:19:06.500 which is important.

00:19:08.540 You know,

00:19:08.720 Trump had some great successes

00:19:09.760 as president

00:19:10.360 and some real failures.

00:19:12.000 I think his most

00:19:12.700 lasting legacy

00:19:13.600 may be the Abraham Accords,

00:19:15.860 the peace deal

00:19:16.600 he brokered

00:19:17.520 between Israel

00:19:18.320 and half a dozen

00:19:19.440 Arab and Muslim countries.

00:19:21.140 We'll see.

00:19:22.880 But other than that,

00:19:23.900 I think the most

00:19:24.480 enduring legacy

00:19:25.400 of Trump

00:19:25.880 will be his judges.

00:19:28.300 On the Supreme Court

00:19:29.540 and in lower courts

00:19:30.380 like this,

00:19:30.960 he delegated judge-picking

00:19:32.540 to the conservative-leaning

00:19:34.040 Federalist Society

00:19:35.120 and they gave him

00:19:36.280 great lists

00:19:37.160 of great names.

00:19:38.240 It's fair to say

00:19:39.040 this mask mandate

00:19:42.380 strike down

00:19:43.440 is a Trump victory,

00:19:45.020 which is just

00:19:46.260 an extra reason

00:19:47.040 that the left

00:19:47.540 is enraged by it.

00:19:48.660 And I think it's a reason

00:19:49.540 why Canada

00:19:50.280 is still clinging

00:19:51.460 onto masks here too.

00:19:53.380 Justin Trudeau

00:19:53.880 considers himself

00:19:54.700 the anti-Trump.

00:19:56.420 So he's going to

00:19:57.340 hold on longer

00:19:58.000 than any other country

00:19:58.940 except for maybe

00:19:59.560 China itself.

00:20:01.900 I saw this.

00:20:03.980 Here's a compendium

00:20:05.540 of seven countries

00:20:06.740 either relaxing

00:20:08.340 or about to relax

00:20:09.320 or abandon

00:20:09.760 their restrictions

00:20:10.880 on travel.

00:20:11.580 New Zealand,

00:20:13.060 Austria,

00:20:13.680 Scotland,

00:20:14.240 Cyprus,

00:20:15.100 Australia,

00:20:15.780 South Korea,

00:20:16.280 New Zealand.

00:20:16.880 New Zealand,

00:20:17.880 they used to be

00:20:18.420 the craziest.

00:20:20.000 Zero COVID,

00:20:20.940 Jacinda Ardern,

00:20:21.620 but look at them now.

00:20:23.740 Towards a sense

00:20:24.800 of normality,

00:20:26.240 Air New Zealand

00:20:26.720 drops proof of vaccination,

00:20:28.460 negative test requirements

00:20:29.360 to fly.

00:20:30.720 Here in Canada,

00:20:31.600 you can't even get

00:20:32.260 on a plane

00:20:32.780 if you're not jabbed.

00:20:34.300 And they're just

00:20:34.820 mask crazy.

00:20:35.940 Let me leave you 0.94

00:20:36.440 with a practical joke.

00:20:37.920 I showed you tweets

00:20:38.800 of people on airplanes

00:20:40.060 celebrating.

00:20:41.020 Let me show you this

00:20:41.860 from a concerned citizen

00:20:43.040 named Jared Rabel.

00:20:45.060 He says,

00:20:45.860 I boarded a plane today

00:20:47.900 with my son

00:20:48.720 and mid-flight

00:20:50.040 the pilot announces

00:20:51.020 that the mask mandate

00:20:51.800 is over.

00:20:53.200 Flight attendants

00:20:53.840 pulled off their masks

00:20:55.000 and sneezed

00:20:56.700 directly into their hands

00:20:58.440 while screaming,

00:20:59.820 this is MAGA airspace.

00:21:01.700 My son turned to me

00:21:04.300 in tears.

00:21:04.820 I don't know

00:21:05.140 what to do.

00:21:08.220 Now,

00:21:08.680 you're smart

00:21:09.280 or at least

00:21:10.020 of average intelligence

00:21:11.320 and even if you're

00:21:12.000 a bit slow,

00:21:13.220 you can tell, right?

00:21:14.220 You can tell

00:21:15.100 this is obviously

00:21:15.900 a joke, right?

00:21:16.760 It's absurd.

00:21:18.220 It's just this guy

00:21:18.920 having fun, right?

00:21:20.300 I mean,

00:21:20.560 do you really think

00:21:21.340 that happened?

00:21:23.000 The flight attendant

00:21:24.140 screamed,

00:21:25.040 this is MAGA airspace.

00:21:26.920 Make America great again.

00:21:28.040 That's the Trump slogan.

00:21:29.320 While sneezing

00:21:30.580 into their hands,

00:21:31.540 you know that's a joke,

00:21:32.680 right?

00:21:33.020 Because you're smart enough

00:21:34.260 to know that's a joke.

00:21:35.560 It's not a very funny joke,

00:21:36.560 but it's a joke.

00:21:39.160 Well,

00:21:39.600 you may be too smart

00:21:40.440 to work for the New York Times

00:21:41.560 because look at this,

00:21:42.560 I swear this is real.

00:21:44.700 Just got messaged

00:21:45.540 by a New York Times journalist

00:21:46.760 about my previous tweet.

00:21:48.080 This is what happened.

00:21:49.860 Someone named Victoria Kim 0.99

00:21:51.640 who really is

00:21:52.320 a New York Times journalist.

00:21:54.820 Hi, Jared.

00:21:56.000 I'm a New York Times journalist.

00:21:57.700 I'd love to speak to you

00:21:58.760 over the phone

00:21:59.440 about what happened

00:22:00.440 on your flight this evening.

00:22:02.140 Can you please

00:22:02.660 give me a call

00:22:03.280 at phone number

00:22:04.400 or let me know

00:22:05.260 how I can reach you?

00:22:06.360 Hope this isn't coming

00:22:07.180 too late in your day.

00:22:08.140 Thank you.

00:22:09.280 Look forward to hearing from you.

00:22:11.120 And he answers straight.

00:22:12.360 He doesn't play along

00:22:13.420 for laughs,

00:22:14.060 which I regret.

00:22:14.920 He could have

00:22:15.280 stretched it on a bit.

00:22:16.660 You can see he says,

00:22:17.540 hello, Victoria.

00:22:18.200 I would love to discuss

00:22:19.120 the incident

00:22:19.580 at your earliest convenience.

00:22:21.000 I was pretty upset

00:22:21.780 about the whole thing.

00:22:23.080 Unfortunately,

00:22:23.660 it's satire

00:22:24.580 that only someone

00:22:25.820 in the New York Times

00:22:26.660 would believe.

00:22:27.480 Oh, he should have

00:22:28.180 kept up the ruse.

00:22:30.060 So where are we?

00:22:31.440 Well, America is freer

00:22:32.720 than us here in Canada,

00:22:33.880 again,

00:22:35.180 because their system

00:22:35.960 works better than ours.

00:22:37.540 Their judges care more

00:22:38.400 about freedom

00:22:38.960 than ours do.

00:22:40.680 And other countries

00:22:41.600 are slouching back

00:22:42.700 from the more insane

00:22:43.600 restrictions,

00:22:44.280 but not us here

00:22:45.000 in Canada.

00:22:46.600 And just a prediction.

00:22:47.340 Don't expect to see

00:22:50.740 our country's journalists,

00:22:52.820 politicians,

00:22:53.660 judges,

00:22:54.440 airline executives.

00:22:56.880 Don't expect to see

00:22:57.900 any of them

00:22:58.380 face the issue.

00:23:00.660 Stay with us for more.

00:23:13.900 Hey, welcome back, everybody.

00:23:15.080 I really think that the end

00:23:16.420 of the mask mandate

00:23:17.300 in the United States

00:23:18.080 is an important milestone,

00:23:19.880 the return to normalcy.

00:23:21.380 And it's like everyone

00:23:22.220 shaking themselves

00:23:23.280 out of a trance they were in

00:23:25.100 and saying,

00:23:25.560 what were we doing?

00:23:26.960 I want to read to you

00:23:27.900 a rather touching

00:23:29.020 and even personal tweet

00:23:30.920 made by a lawyer

00:23:31.960 who has been battling

00:23:33.560 this in the courts

00:23:34.600 in the United States.

00:23:35.380 We've talked to her

00:23:36.000 a number of times,

00:23:37.020 battling in the courts,

00:23:37.760 but I follow her Twitter account

00:23:38.920 because she also gives

00:23:40.140 slice of life reflections

00:23:41.460 on what it's like

00:23:42.860 to live in blue cities

00:23:44.440 like New York and Washington.

00:23:46.100 Our friend Janine Eunice

00:23:47.160 last night said,

00:23:49.300 I am not a religious person,

00:23:50.700 but tonight I will be saying

00:23:51.700 a prayer of gratitude

00:23:52.900 to Judge Catherine Mizell.

00:23:55.700 As a frequent traveler

00:23:56.640 via plane and public transit,

00:23:58.440 she just made my life 1.00

00:23:59.560 a whole lot better.

00:24:00.980 Joining us now

00:24:01.620 is Janine Eunice,

00:24:03.160 lawyer for the new

00:24:03.980 Civil Liberties Alliance.

00:24:04.720 Great to see you, Janine.

00:24:05.480 It really felt like

00:24:06.880 an emotional moment,

00:24:08.480 a liberation,

00:24:09.880 sort of let my people go.

00:24:11.500 That's how it felt to me.

00:24:13.260 Yeah, it felt like that

00:24:14.360 to me too,

00:24:15.020 and it's certainly

00:24:15.600 all over the Twitter sphere.

00:24:16.860 I think that was the spirit.

00:24:19.140 You know,

00:24:19.620 I love those videos

00:24:21.120 that people were taking

00:24:22.140 when they were literally

00:24:22.940 on an airplane.

00:24:24.220 At the moment,

00:24:25.360 those aircraft

00:24:26.280 received the word,

00:24:27.920 however their communications

00:24:29.740 worked,

00:24:30.300 and whether it was

00:24:31.180 a flight attendant

00:24:32.060 or a pilot

00:24:32.960 breaking the news

00:24:33.780 to the passengers,

00:24:36.300 cheering, singing,

00:24:37.920 in some cases dancing,

00:24:39.820 laughter,

00:24:40.340 people ripping the masks

00:24:41.440 off their faces.

00:24:43.540 It really was.

00:24:44.560 I mean,

00:24:44.860 I use that phrase,

00:24:45.620 let my people go,

00:24:46.480 which is a phrase

00:24:48.240 from the exodus

00:24:49.120 of from slavery to freedom.

00:24:51.160 People whipping

00:24:51.880 their masks off.

00:24:53.240 It is a form of liberation.

00:24:55.320 It is an exodus

00:24:56.620 towards freedom

00:24:57.860 a little bit.

00:24:59.000 The crazy thing is

00:25:00.180 that America and Canada

00:25:02.480 were not enslaved

00:25:03.360 by an alien power,

00:25:05.020 but by our own governments.

00:25:06.100 That's what's so

00:25:07.080 infuriating about it

00:25:09.580 is that Americans

00:25:11.200 were subjugated

00:25:12.320 by Americans.

00:25:13.200 It wasn't some

00:25:13.720 foreign invader. 0.78

00:25:14.460 Canadians were subjugated

00:25:15.680 by Canadians.

00:25:16.820 It wasn't some

00:25:17.360 foreign invader. 0.78

00:25:18.140 That's what makes it

00:25:18.820 so tough to swallow.

00:25:20.500 Yeah,

00:25:21.020 I think that's right.

00:25:21.840 And another thing

00:25:22.500 that makes it so tough

00:25:23.320 to swallow

00:25:23.780 is that,

00:25:24.260 you know,

00:25:24.720 the subjugation

00:25:25.500 was sort of based on

00:25:26.620 what is clearly

00:25:27.620 a manipulation of science.

00:25:29.140 The CDC,

00:25:29.980 you know,

00:25:30.420 has been twisting studies

00:25:31.720 right and left

00:25:32.320 for the past couple

00:25:33.420 of years

00:25:33.840 in order to justify

00:25:34.900 its mask requirements.

00:25:36.660 It couldn't admit,

00:25:37.520 you know,

00:25:37.680 it needed something.

00:25:38.580 It needed something

00:25:39.220 to say we can control

00:25:40.200 this virus.

00:25:40.840 It came up with masks.

00:25:42.220 And then even though

00:25:42.840 the evidence has shown

00:25:43.680 time and again

00:25:44.400 that they're not really

00:25:45.480 doing anything at all,

00:25:46.880 they've been unable

00:25:47.600 to admit that.

00:25:48.400 And so it's infuriating

00:25:49.460 to people like me

00:25:50.180 who have been looking

00:25:50.720 carefully at the studies

00:25:51.780 and see,

00:25:52.760 you know,

00:25:53.000 that they just look,

00:25:53.980 they pick certain time frames,

00:25:55.380 they stop looking

00:25:56.200 at the jurisdiction

00:25:56.980 once the cases

00:25:57.660 start to go up.

00:25:58.540 You know,

00:25:59.980 stuff like that.

00:26:01.200 You know what?

00:26:02.320 There was no scientific basis

00:26:04.120 for mass mask use.

00:26:07.020 There just wasn't.

00:26:08.320 Just like there was

00:26:08.840 no scientific basis

00:26:09.760 for lockdowns.

00:26:11.360 These were tools

00:26:12.340 of control and persuasion.

00:26:14.360 I think masks

00:26:14.880 in particular,

00:26:15.660 it was very early,

00:26:18.060 I felt like it was a flag.

00:26:21.160 Are you submissive or not?

00:26:22.540 It's like,

00:26:23.080 you know,

00:26:23.500 people wear lapel pins.

00:26:24.700 They have the yellow ribbons

00:26:26.620 for 9-11.

00:26:27.340 They have the red AIDS ribbon.

00:26:29.620 It's what team you're on.

00:26:31.740 It's your affiliation.

00:26:33.660 And the mask

00:26:34.920 was a massive flag

00:26:36.900 to show whose side

00:26:38.060 you were on.

00:26:39.000 And I earlier mentioned

00:26:40.480 Jessica Valenia,

00:26:41.760 a liberal activist,

00:26:43.020 who said,

00:26:43.920 well,

00:26:43.960 I don't want to take

00:26:44.520 my mask off

00:26:45.120 because I don't want people

00:26:45.840 to think I'm a Republican.

00:26:47.320 So it had no utility

00:26:50.000 for health.

00:26:50.880 It was all about

00:26:51.980 a symbol of the new movement.

00:26:54.560 And that's why

00:26:56.040 they needed it

00:26:57.560 to keep you afraid

00:26:58.600 to make it.

00:27:00.600 Because if you didn't know

00:27:02.000 that there was a pandemic

00:27:03.120 and if you weren't

00:27:04.360 dealing with people

00:27:05.160 in their 70s and 80s

00:27:06.700 and if you weren't

00:27:08.880 on social media,

00:27:09.680 if you were a normal human,

00:27:11.240 you wouldn't have been

00:27:12.240 panicky throughout

00:27:13.000 this pandemic.

00:27:13.600 People weren't dying

00:27:14.300 in the streets

00:27:14.920 like the Black Death,

00:27:16.820 like plagues of the past.

00:27:18.120 They needed

00:27:18.920 a visual symbol

00:27:20.660 that the pandemic

00:27:22.020 was ubiquitous,

00:27:23.060 dangerous,

00:27:23.620 or else people

00:27:24.840 would just not care anymore.

00:27:25.940 That's my theory.

00:27:27.400 I think that's right.

00:27:28.280 I think that's a lot of it.

00:27:29.160 So I think there are

00:27:29.760 a number of factors.

00:27:30.960 And another thing,

00:27:31.780 you know,

00:27:31.940 which I touched on just now

00:27:33.140 is that I think

00:27:34.080 the government

00:27:34.780 wanted something

00:27:35.600 that was sort of easy

00:27:36.660 and relatively costless,

00:27:38.440 not like lockdowns,

00:27:39.380 to make it look

00:27:39.960 as though they could do

00:27:40.780 something to control

00:27:41.520 the virus.

00:27:42.260 Look at us,

00:27:42.820 you know,

00:27:42.940 the great government,

00:27:43.780 we can control this virus.

00:27:45.700 And then they just

00:27:46.480 couldn't admit error.

00:27:48.020 Yeah.

00:27:48.400 You know,

00:27:48.740 I remember

00:27:49.740 in the very early months

00:27:50.980 seeing news

00:27:52.220 that the Chinese dictatorship

00:27:54.600 basically called

00:27:55.560 to its expats

00:27:56.720 around the world

00:27:58.040 to hoover up

00:27:59.300 all the PPE,

00:28:00.580 the masks

00:28:01.560 and the gloves

00:28:02.360 and the goggles

00:28:03.600 that they could.

00:28:04.380 And so in January,

00:28:06.420 February, March,

00:28:07.240 when the West

00:28:07.760 wasn't really

00:28:08.420 paying close attention,

00:28:10.900 millions of dollars

00:28:12.980 worth of

00:28:13.800 personal protection equipment

00:28:15.500 was hoovered up

00:28:16.560 in the UK,

00:28:17.220 United States,

00:28:17.900 Canada,

00:28:18.140 Australia,

00:28:18.980 and sent to China.

00:28:20.380 This is not a rumor

00:28:21.780 or a theory.

00:28:22.620 It's they just

00:28:23.480 bought them up.

00:28:25.060 And so part of me

00:28:26.140 thought,

00:28:26.420 well,

00:28:26.480 it must be valuable

00:28:27.320 if China's

00:28:28.100 hoovering them up.

00:28:29.100 But I think,

00:28:29.520 no,

00:28:29.700 I think you're right.

00:28:30.240 It's just someone thought,

00:28:31.100 well,

00:28:31.260 we got to do something

00:28:32.500 and this is a something.

00:28:34.760 And I thought,

00:28:35.500 well,

00:28:35.560 if China is doing

00:28:36.340 that something,

00:28:36.960 maybe it's

00:28:37.400 strategically important.

00:28:39.400 There was no science

00:28:40.420 underneath any of this.

00:28:41.220 And I think that was

00:28:41.760 one of the points

00:28:42.280 of the judge

00:28:42.920 is you got to answer

00:28:44.900 questions.

00:28:45.420 You got to be transparent.

00:28:46.740 You have to be open

00:28:47.520 to comment.

00:28:48.080 You can't just issue

00:28:48.880 a regulation

00:28:49.600 that destroys

00:28:50.900 lives and industries

00:28:52.840 and be immune

00:28:54.260 from scrutiny.

00:28:55.080 I think that's why

00:28:55.680 this judge ruled

00:28:56.300 the way she did.

00:28:57.920 Absolutely.

00:28:58.660 The judge's decision,

00:28:59.700 and I'll say

00:29:00.700 with a caveat,

00:29:01.320 it's very long.

00:29:01.960 I haven't had a chance

00:29:02.720 to fully read

00:29:04.000 the whole thing.

00:29:04.640 I've skimmed it

00:29:05.360 a couple of times,

00:29:06.120 but haven't done

00:29:07.420 as careful of a reading

00:29:08.240 as I'd like to.

00:29:08.900 But I think it's

00:29:09.500 very well thought out.

00:29:10.480 And one of the

00:29:11.220 interesting things

00:29:11.820 about this

00:29:12.180 is the judge

00:29:12.700 happens to be,

00:29:13.480 she's a Trump appointee. 0.99

00:29:14.560 She's 35,

00:29:15.300 which is, of course,

00:29:15.900 very young for a federal judge.

00:29:17.860 And most of the comments

00:29:19.100 I've seen on social media

00:29:20.600 criticizing her

00:29:22.740 are limited to her age,

00:29:24.320 gender, it seems.

00:29:25.180 You know,

00:29:25.340 she's a 35-year-old

00:29:26.320 female judge,

00:29:27.240 Trump appointee.

00:29:28.460 None of them

00:29:28.860 have actually taken issue

00:29:29.960 with her legal reasoning,

00:29:31.640 which is quite sound.

00:29:32.860 She's basically said

00:29:33.860 that the CDC

00:29:34.580 does not have the authority.

00:29:36.580 It's similar to the vaccine,

00:29:38.280 some of the federal

00:29:39.140 vaccine mandate cases,

00:29:40.340 and it's also similar

00:29:41.140 to the CDC eviction

00:29:42.120 moratorium cases.

00:29:43.580 In fact,

00:29:44.000 this was the same statute

00:29:45.060 that the CDC used

00:29:46.040 to say that it had

00:29:46.800 the authority

00:29:47.320 to halt evictions

00:29:48.160 nationwide in the U.S.

00:29:49.360 and that the Supreme Court

00:29:50.460 struck down that action.

00:29:53.040 So it was very similar

00:29:54.940 reasoning, actually.

00:29:56.400 Yeah, I mean,

00:29:56.960 I skimmed it,

00:29:57.920 and I think she sums it up

00:29:59.980 really in the end

00:30:00.620 where she says,

00:30:01.680 sorry, you can't just,

00:30:02.980 this is not how you make laws

00:30:04.280 in America.

00:30:05.560 You can't just short-circuit

00:30:07.080 the public comment

00:30:08.700 and you just,

00:30:10.040 you're not a legislature.

00:30:12.260 You're an agency.

00:30:13.480 You can't just issue edicts

00:30:14.880 from the high on Mount Olympus.

00:30:17.100 And I think it's obvious

00:30:18.520 that Congress,

00:30:20.220 I mean, you've got

00:30:20.640 the House of Representatives,

00:30:22.040 the Senate,

00:30:22.460 the presidency,

00:30:23.100 they're all in the hands

00:30:23.640 of the Democrats.

00:30:24.160 If they really believed in this,

00:30:25.960 they could enact a law

00:30:27.100 through the legislature.

00:30:29.240 I guess they could appeal

00:30:30.360 it to a higher court.

00:30:31.360 I think that this judge,

00:30:32.820 in a way,

00:30:33.160 has done Joe Biden

00:30:33.860 a huge favor

00:30:34.620 by removing this irritant

00:30:36.840 on the population

00:30:38.220 that the Democrats

00:30:38.880 had been so politically

00:30:39.840 invested in

00:30:40.840 that they were sort of

00:30:41.800 backed into a corner.

00:30:42.760 They couldn't lose face

00:30:44.480 and now they can say,

00:30:46.300 well, a judge threw it out

00:30:47.360 so they can keep the win

00:30:48.860 or we care more than you guys.

00:30:50.720 It was a Trump judge,

00:30:52.580 but the actual pain

00:30:54.640 is being relieved in America

00:30:56.340 seven months before

00:30:57.660 their midterm elections.

00:30:59.460 I think that's exactly right.

00:31:01.180 I think that's exactly

00:31:01.860 the correct interpretation.

00:31:03.020 Now, there have been

00:31:03.460 a couple of,

00:31:04.260 it's unclear whether

00:31:05.020 they'll appeal or not.

00:31:05.940 I heard this morning

00:31:06.740 that they weren't going to

00:31:07.640 and then I heard

00:31:08.180 that they were going to.

00:31:10.620 If they don't appeal,

00:31:11.840 that would be interesting.

00:31:12.860 It would either,

00:31:13.440 it would sort of be

00:31:14.200 a concession that

00:31:15.380 either they were afraid

00:31:16.440 they'd lose in the circuit court

00:31:17.720 and create bad law

00:31:18.780 or that they really

00:31:19.980 didn't want to push

00:31:20.620 this mandate,

00:31:21.220 but for some reason

00:31:21.880 felt they had to

00:31:22.860 and they're kind of relieved

00:31:24.020 that it's out of their hands

00:31:25.240 as you say.

00:31:25.780 Now they can just blame

00:31:26.460 it on the Trump judge.

00:31:27.860 Yeah.

00:31:28.220 You know, it's April 2022.

00:31:30.320 Mask mandates have been

00:31:31.140 in effect for a long time.

00:31:33.040 It feels like ages

00:31:35.280 that it took ages

00:31:36.240 for this to get

00:31:37.020 to this court.

00:31:40.360 You know, the CDC says

00:31:41.700 it would have removed 0.98

00:31:42.260 the mandate in a couple of weeks,

00:31:43.360 but we've heard that

00:31:43.940 two-week promise before.

00:31:45.880 But I have to note

00:31:46.440 that here in Canada,

00:31:47.340 I think I told you this before,

00:31:48.400 our Supreme Court

00:31:49.120 has yet to weigh in

00:31:50.440 on any lockdown issue.

00:31:53.000 Just to have it.

00:31:54.240 And our Charter of Rights

00:31:55.200 and Freedoms,

00:31:55.860 which was once

00:31:56.660 considered a defining

00:31:58.120 Canadian document,

00:32:00.040 has not in any case

00:32:01.560 successfully struck down

00:32:03.120 an infringement.

00:32:04.000 And we got some crazy stuff

00:32:05.200 going on up here.

00:32:06.100 Like we had a full-born

00:32:07.060 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew

00:32:09.260 in the large province

00:32:10.500 of Quebec.

00:32:11.320 So I'm starting to think

00:32:13.280 what is the use

00:32:14.060 of our whole vaunted

00:32:15.880 check and balance

00:32:17.020 legal system

00:32:17.760 if it can't stop

00:32:19.320 the biggest civil liberties

00:32:20.340 inferno

00:32:20.940 in world history,

00:32:22.540 perhaps,

00:32:23.400 since slavery,

00:32:24.640 I guess.

00:32:25.700 What use is it?

00:32:27.040 I mean, here we are

00:32:27.820 and a judge

00:32:29.500 finally strikes it down

00:32:31.460 in America.

00:32:32.180 And of course,

00:32:32.700 as you point out,

00:32:33.760 she's attacked

00:32:34.200 for being a young woman

00:32:35.860 Trump appointee.

00:32:37.700 But at least

00:32:38.420 you had something.

00:32:39.880 In Canada,

00:32:40.600 I want to let you know,

00:32:41.380 Janine,

00:32:42.020 that you cannot get

00:32:43.340 on an airplane,

00:32:44.100 even domestically,

00:32:45.040 if you're unvaxxed.

00:32:46.460 You just cannot fly

00:32:47.640 or take the train

00:32:48.400 in the second largest

00:32:49.540 country in the world.

00:32:50.320 You just can't.

00:32:51.620 Yeah, well,

00:32:52.120 I mean, it's interesting.

00:32:53.200 So there are plenty

00:32:53.820 of people here

00:32:54.440 who want that.

00:32:55.120 And in fact,

00:32:55.660 I believe it's one

00:32:56.740 of the guy

00:32:57.860 that Biden

00:32:58.480 appointed to be

00:32:59.080 as COVID SAR,

00:33:00.040 whatever that means,

00:33:00.740 was saying that

00:33:01.220 we should be looking

00:33:01.860 at vaccination requirements

00:33:03.580 for domestic air travel.

00:33:05.240 So what you have

00:33:06.640 in America

00:33:07.040 is sort of an interesting

00:33:07.860 just divide

00:33:08.680 between the Republican

00:33:09.880 and Democratic strongholds.

00:33:11.960 And frankly,

00:33:12.900 in the Democratic strongholds,

00:33:14.300 I mean,

00:33:14.620 it's not really any better

00:33:15.960 than what you're talking about.

00:33:17.380 In New York,

00:33:18.300 they just are,

00:33:18.980 they're continuing

00:33:19.500 the toddler mask mandate.

00:33:21.060 It's two to four-year-olds

00:33:22.000 are the only population

00:33:23.020 required to be masked.

00:33:24.200 A judge struck it down,

00:33:26.280 actually,

00:33:26.780 and then the city

00:33:28.300 immediately appealed

00:33:29.340 for a stay.

00:33:30.400 That's sort of called

00:33:30.960 like an immediate,

00:33:32.320 to immediately halt

00:33:33.320 the effect

00:33:33.840 of the lower court's order.

00:33:35.900 And so that,

00:33:37.200 later that day,

00:33:37.980 the toddler mask mandate

00:33:39.640 was kept in effect.

00:33:41.000 So, you know,

00:33:41.820 the good things

00:33:43.120 are coming out

00:33:43.760 of these Republican strongholds.

00:33:46.800 And we would be

00:33:48.460 in the same situation,

00:33:49.380 I think,

00:33:49.740 if we were

00:33:50.120 in Democratic majority

00:33:51.320 or in Democratic majority

00:33:53.080 jurisdictions.

00:33:54.280 And the lesson really is

00:33:55.440 that it's the populace.

00:33:56.840 It's the populace

00:33:57.600 that drives the politicians 0.92

00:33:58.660 and it's the populace

00:33:59.560 that drives the judges

00:34:00.420 in the end.

00:34:03.160 Yeah,

00:34:03.320 I think you're right.

00:34:04.260 I mean,

00:34:04.620 and I don't know

00:34:05.660 if it's a coincidence

00:34:06.320 that this judge,

00:34:07.080 I think,

00:34:07.340 was in Florida,

00:34:08.600 which has become

00:34:09.740 the free state,

00:34:10.880 the freest place

00:34:12.240 in America.

00:34:13.300 Again,

00:34:13.580 you've got 50 states

00:34:14.620 each with a slightly

00:34:15.440 different approach.

00:34:16.540 I mean,

00:34:16.660 of course,

00:34:16.860 you do have the federal issue,

00:34:18.460 which is what was at stake here.

00:34:19.580 But you really do have

00:34:20.720 50 competing laboratories

00:34:22.200 for how to do it.

00:34:23.540 In Canada,

00:34:25.340 you do have

00:34:25.940 10 provinces

00:34:27.380 and three territories,

00:34:28.460 but they were so similar.

00:34:31.280 They were so similar.

00:34:32.640 It's quite depressing

00:34:33.580 for me as a Canadian

00:34:34.320 to say this,

00:34:35.100 but here's one thing

00:34:35.940 I want to ask you about.

00:34:36.800 It's not a legal thing.

00:34:38.220 It's a psychological thing.

00:34:39.640 It's a madness

00:34:41.940 of crowds thing.

00:34:43.340 It's a conformity thing.

00:34:45.340 I showed earlier

00:34:46.340 a videotape

00:34:47.240 of a flight attendant

00:34:48.160 going down the aisle

00:34:50.760 singing a song

00:34:51.860 about throw out your masks

00:34:53.200 with a jubilation.

00:34:54.760 It felt like

00:34:55.700 a liberation song.

00:34:58.800 She was just making up

00:34:59.440 a song about

00:34:59.920 throw out your masks

00:35:00.760 and everyone was,

00:35:02.260 like it was this

00:35:02.900 cheering moment

00:35:03.760 like they had just won

00:35:05.140 the Super Bowl

00:35:05.720 or something.

00:35:07.520 But I can't help

00:35:08.360 but think,

00:35:08.920 Janine,

00:35:09.480 that 10 minutes earlier

00:35:11.240 had someone

00:35:12.920 not been wearing

00:35:13.720 their mask

00:35:14.300 or not been wearing it

00:35:15.680 between sips of water

00:35:17.680 or peanuts

00:35:18.980 or whatever

00:35:19.400 they serve on a plane

00:35:20.360 that that same

00:35:22.120 flight attendant

00:35:22.920 would have

00:35:23.720 most likely

00:35:24.900 been a scold

00:35:27.120 and even threatened.

00:35:29.380 And so yes,

00:35:31.940 that flight attendant

00:35:32.660 was celebrating

00:35:33.200 and all these pilots

00:35:34.060 are celebrating

00:35:34.880 but minutes earlier

00:35:37.460 they were the enforcers

00:35:38.860 of it.

00:35:39.600 I'm not sure

00:35:40.300 if they get to do

00:35:41.280 the jubilation victory lap

00:35:43.140 when they were complicit.

00:35:47.060 Now maybe it was

00:35:47.940 complicit or lose your job

00:35:49.380 or complicit or get,

00:35:51.060 but it's a little hard

00:35:53.680 for me to swallow

00:35:54.640 someone who five minutes 0.70

00:35:56.820 earlier was an enforcer

00:35:58.240 now leading a song

00:36:00.400 of liberation.

00:36:01.220 I just find that hard.

00:36:03.100 So I think my opinion

00:36:04.020 on this is,

00:36:04.820 and I've documented it

00:36:05.740 well on Twitter,

00:36:06.560 I don't blame people

00:36:07.960 for employees

00:36:10.580 when they're really

00:36:11.840 sort of afraid

00:36:12.560 to lose their job

00:36:13.320 and they're not

00:36:13.760 very zealously

00:36:14.400 enforcing it.

00:36:15.160 So I actually differentiate.

00:36:17.220 I've had like Amtrak conductors

00:36:18.880 or sorry,

00:36:19.920 trained people

00:36:20.520 or flight attendants

00:36:21.920 say like,

00:36:22.800 oh, can you put your mask on?

00:36:24.380 You know,

00:36:24.480 and you can say

00:36:24.860 they don't really want to ask

00:36:25.820 but they feel like

00:36:26.340 they have to.

00:36:27.680 That I can,

00:36:28.300 and they just ask

00:36:28.940 and if you don't do it,

00:36:29.620 they don't follow up,

00:36:30.820 which I'm okay with

00:36:31.760 because I understand

00:36:32.380 the position they're in.

00:36:33.380 I differentiate them

00:36:34.460 from the ones

00:36:35.080 who are clearly

00:36:35.840 on a power trip

00:36:36.660 who clearly insist on it.

00:36:37.840 You know,

00:36:37.940 I had one guy

00:36:38.440 on the Amtrak

00:36:38.940 tell me I was drinking wine

00:36:40.460 and he said,

00:36:41.140 you have to put your mask on

00:36:42.520 and I said,

00:36:42.820 I'm drinking wine

00:36:43.480 and he was like,

00:36:44.400 well,

00:36:44.540 you have to put it

00:36:45.140 on your chin

00:36:45.760 so that you can

00:36:46.280 pull it up between sips

00:36:47.340 and it's just,

00:36:48.000 you know,

00:36:48.120 these are clearly people

00:36:49.020 who enjoy controlling

00:36:49.980 and micromanaging people.

00:36:52.720 So I do think they're all up.

00:36:54.400 There's no rule.

00:36:55.400 That doesn't even make sense.

00:36:56.760 No, it doesn't make sense.

00:36:57.740 Of course it makes no sense.

00:36:59.140 And it doesn't make sense

00:36:59.980 to have a mask on

00:37:00.960 when you're eating,

00:37:01.600 by the way,

00:37:02.040 just from a health

00:37:02.660 or hygiene point of view.

00:37:04.180 You're right.

00:37:04.640 I take your point.

00:37:05.920 You know,

00:37:06.500 I never understood

00:37:07.640 Solzhenitsyn's instruction

00:37:10.380 which was,

00:37:11.380 just don't participate

00:37:13.700 in the lie.

00:37:15.200 You don't have to fight against it.

00:37:16.360 You don't have to speak out

00:37:17.080 against it.

00:37:18.280 Not everyone can do that.

00:37:19.480 Most people can't do it.

00:37:20.380 Just don't perpetrate it.

00:37:22.080 Just don't be

00:37:23.080 a collaborator.

00:37:25.500 Just don't do that.

00:37:26.280 That was his one admonition.

00:37:28.040 Just don't be a collaborator.

00:37:31.140 And you know what?

00:37:33.160 And I'm using all these analogies

00:37:34.840 of the darkest fascist time

00:37:36.280 in recent history.

00:37:40.100 After France was liberated,

00:37:41.680 everyone was with

00:37:43.300 the French resistance.

00:37:44.540 No, you weren't.

00:37:45.960 No, you weren't.

00:37:47.360 You want that now.

00:37:49.140 And I see that

00:37:49.820 with some pundits

00:37:51.100 and some politicians

00:37:51.960 who want to rebrand themselves

00:37:53.860 as heroes of civil liberties.

00:37:55.900 No, they weren't.

00:37:57.300 And I'm not,

00:37:58.440 this is not about me saying,

00:37:59.680 well, I was earlier.

00:38:01.020 It's about understanding

00:38:03.080 how quickly the world can go mad

00:38:05.460 and then flip back

00:38:07.700 and not even know

00:38:09.100 that they were mad.

00:38:09.940 There was no reckoning.

00:38:10.820 We need a truth

00:38:11.860 and reconciliation commission.

00:38:13.440 What exactly happened?

00:38:15.400 What happened

00:38:16.320 in the police departments?

00:38:17.880 What happened

00:38:18.280 in the colleges

00:38:18.820 of physicians and surgeons

00:38:20.500 that caused them

00:38:22.100 to crack down

00:38:22.720 on people issuing

00:38:23.580 exemption letters?

00:38:25.400 What happened?

00:38:26.820 We still don't know

00:38:27.780 what happened.

00:38:28.320 I don't know

00:38:28.620 if we ever will.

00:38:29.320 I'm depressed

00:38:31.200 that there's no recognition

00:38:34.500 of how dark it was.

00:38:36.300 I agree with that.

00:38:37.440 And I think that

00:38:38.160 without any accountability,

00:38:39.260 it's just going to happen again.

00:38:41.280 There really needs to be,

00:38:42.660 I mean,

00:38:42.820 I don't know

00:38:43.120 if we're talking

00:38:43.480 about criminal trials,

00:38:44.580 although I think

00:38:45.080 that some people,

00:38:45.920 the criminal penalties

00:38:47.580 could possibly be appropriate.

00:38:49.700 But certainly

00:38:50.560 some sort of,

00:38:51.500 you know,

00:38:51.860 commission to figure out

00:38:52.640 what went wrong.

00:38:53.760 And as you know,

00:38:54.740 the CDC,

00:38:55.600 as I've discussed,

00:38:57.180 has continually

00:38:58.040 exceeded its authority

00:39:00.440 and abused its power

00:39:01.740 to implement these mandates.

00:39:03.460 And they know

00:39:04.100 that it's going to take

00:39:05.060 some time

00:39:05.360 to challenge them in court.

00:39:06.860 The Biden administration

00:39:07.960 even acknowledged

00:39:09.220 that the CDC

00:39:09.980 eviction moratorium

00:39:10.940 was unlawful,

00:39:11.840 but said that they knew,

00:39:13.240 well,

00:39:13.320 it was going to take

00:39:13.820 a little while

00:39:14.240 to get challenged.

00:39:15.340 If people aren't,

00:39:16.240 you know,

00:39:16.500 there's no

00:39:17.280 personal accountability.

00:39:20.000 So the government

00:39:21.420 is found to have

00:39:22.300 exceeded its power,

00:39:23.320 but that doesn't mean

00:39:23.900 that any person

00:39:24.680 loses their job

00:39:25.340 or is penalized.

00:39:26.060 As long as that goes on,

00:39:27.360 this will go on.

00:39:28.900 You know,

00:39:29.440 I don't mean to use

00:39:30.520 so many Nazi analogies,

00:39:32.240 and there are

00:39:32.900 obviously differences,

00:39:34.620 but that was a great

00:39:36.300 moment of mass formation

00:39:38.240 psychosis.

00:39:39.140 That was a time,

00:39:40.620 I mean,

00:39:40.880 Germany was the most educated,

00:39:42.180 most cultured country

00:39:43.180 in Europe.

00:39:43.760 It was not,

00:39:44.320 an illiterate, 0.73

00:39:45.860 superstitious backwater.

00:39:47.420 It was modern,

00:39:48.260 secular,

00:39:49.160 artistic,

00:39:49.840 scientific.

00:39:50.440 I mean,

00:39:51.160 and it was very Jewish,

00:39:52.780 by the way.

00:39:53.900 And they went mad.

00:39:58.140 And by the way,

00:39:58.840 it was the doctors

00:39:59.480 who led it.

00:40:01.140 And that's where

00:40:01.600 we got the doctor's trials

00:40:02.940 and the Nuremberg Code

00:40:05.360 of Medicine

00:40:06.300 emerged from

00:40:07.160 the atrocities there.

00:40:08.120 I'm not comparing

00:40:09.840 the worst parts

00:40:11.480 of Nazism.

00:40:12.940 Obviously not.

00:40:14.320 But there's similar

00:40:15.440 psychological strains

00:40:16.460 and I want to,

00:40:17.600 and I say that

00:40:18.340 because I'm not over comparing,

00:40:20.500 but there is a comparison

00:40:21.420 to be made

00:40:22.020 to a certain point.

00:40:23.740 And Ron Rosenbaum,

00:40:25.220 who's gone,

00:40:26.260 Trump derangement,

00:40:27.060 he's gone mad,

00:40:27.700 he's mad about COVID.

00:40:29.060 But before 2016,

00:40:30.900 he was actually

00:40:31.820 an incredibly thoughtful

00:40:33.700 scholar,

00:40:34.340 historian,

00:40:34.880 researcher,

00:40:35.380 writer,

00:40:35.640 provocative thinker.

00:40:36.440 and he wrote a book

00:40:37.380 called Explaining Hitler,

00:40:39.160 which I think

00:40:39.980 was amazing.

00:40:42.300 And he said something,

00:40:44.400 he said,

00:40:45.300 and again,

00:40:45.720 forgive me for being

00:40:46.460 so dramatic,

00:40:47.140 I'm not calling

00:40:47.940 what happened

00:40:48.420 a Holocaust. 0.84

00:40:49.340 But he said,

00:40:50.140 a second Holocaust 0.99

00:40:50.900 is more likely

00:40:51.840 than the first one

00:40:52.900 because the first one

00:40:54.240 was unthinkable.

00:40:56.320 But the second one,

00:40:57.420 now that it's happened,

00:40:58.580 okay,

00:40:58.780 you know it can happen.

00:40:59.640 You no longer have

00:41:00.300 the psychological,

00:41:01.700 social,

00:41:02.140 cultural,

00:41:02.600 historical,

00:41:03.780 it's not an unthinkable idea.

00:41:06.580 It happened,

00:41:07.340 so it could happen again.

00:41:08.280 And now the systems

00:41:09.420 are there,

00:41:09.800 the technology is there.

00:41:10.860 So his theory

00:41:11.580 is that like a black swan,

00:41:14.300 the first time it happens,

00:41:15.400 you couldn't have imagined it.

00:41:18.620 And my comparison here is

00:41:20.560 we couldn't have imagined

00:41:23.460 that they would tell us

00:41:24.540 not to gather in our homes.

00:41:25.900 We couldn't have imagined

00:41:26.760 that they would have said

00:41:28.500 you could only have

00:41:29.020 five people at a funeral.

00:41:30.700 We couldn't have imagined

00:41:31.760 demonizing people

00:41:32.840 by the million

00:41:33.560 who wouldn't get

00:41:34.820 an injection

00:41:35.440 of what is not

00:41:37.360 a fully tested drug.

00:41:39.180 We couldn't imagine

00:41:40.220 every institution at once

00:41:42.460 being undermined.

00:41:44.120 We couldn't,

00:41:44.720 I couldn't imagine it.

00:41:46.460 No, I couldn't either.

00:41:47.540 And it didn't happen

00:41:48.220 all at once,

00:41:48.720 but it happened

00:41:49.180 bloody quickly.

00:41:50.380 And as to Ron Rosenbaum's point,

00:41:53.180 if it happened once,

00:41:54.680 which is unthinkable,

00:41:56.840 why wouldn't it happen again

00:41:58.560 a second time

00:41:59.220 more thinkably?

00:41:59.960 Because we can think it now.

00:42:01.700 And it happened now.

00:42:02.700 And the people who did it,

00:42:04.080 if there's no Nuremberg trials,

00:42:05.600 so to speak,

00:42:06.340 well, why wouldn't

00:42:06.880 they do it again?

00:42:09.080 Yeah, I mean,

00:42:09.740 so I've sort of

00:42:11.520 broached the comparison myself,

00:42:13.220 and I think this is

00:42:13.820 how I look at it.

00:42:15.600 I'm not saying

00:42:16.380 that the events

00:42:17.000 of the COVID hysteria,

00:42:18.520 as I like to call it,

00:42:19.460 are the same,

00:42:20.260 but the mindset,

00:42:21.340 one sort of can see

00:42:22.340 how this mindset

00:42:23.140 came to be.

00:42:24.320 Well, Janine,

00:42:24.720 let me ask you this.

00:42:27.060 In the last,

00:42:28.400 not even 24 hours,

00:42:29.980 we've seen the domino effect.

00:42:31.560 The airlines have,

00:42:32.980 all the big airlines

00:42:33.780 have said they're ending this.

00:42:35.140 I see Uber and Lyft,

00:42:36.380 at least in the United States,

00:42:37.480 are ending this.

00:42:38.000 I'm not sure about Canada yet.

00:42:39.780 Amtrak,

00:42:40.060 like it just really

00:42:41.420 is sweeping it out.

00:42:42.620 You mentioned exceptions

00:42:43.680 like the toddler

00:42:44.500 mask in New York City.

00:42:47.420 Are there large lockdownist laws

00:42:51.080 still in place in America?

00:42:53.000 Because in Canada,

00:42:53.920 there sure are.

00:42:55.120 But are there in America,

00:42:56.520 or is it just in odd spots

00:42:58.940 like New York?

00:43:01.420 Pretty much,

00:43:02.500 I guess I would say

00:43:03.480 they're gone.

00:43:04.100 So there are still

00:43:04.820 vaccine mandates

00:43:05.600 are still around.

00:43:06.820 That's sort of

00:43:07.780 the big lingering effect,

00:43:09.080 I would say.

00:43:09.960 The mask mandates

00:43:11.040 seem to be mostly gone.

00:43:12.540 There really aren't

00:43:13.460 any lockdown policies

00:43:14.540 that I'm aware of.

00:43:15.700 Let's keep in touch on this.

00:43:16.900 You guys at the NCLA

00:43:18.760 National New Civil Liberties Alliance

00:43:21.120 are doing great work on this.

00:43:22.860 Give me 30 seconds

00:43:23.980 on the state of your lawsuits.

00:43:26.740 Are you still pursuing litigation

00:43:28.480 to fight against

00:43:29.740 some of these vaccine mandates

00:43:30.820 or have those defendants

00:43:32.920 all settled or surrendered?

00:43:35.600 We have a couple of active cases.

00:43:37.600 So the federal employee mandate

00:43:38.940 and the federal contractor mandate

00:43:40.660 we're still fighting.

00:43:41.480 So the federal employee mandate

00:43:43.440 was actually sort of brought back.

00:43:45.660 It had been struck down by

00:43:47.300 or at least stayed

00:43:48.420 by a judge in Texas,

00:43:50.400 but a higher court reversed that.

00:43:53.300 So now federal employees

00:43:54.680 are subject to the vaccine mandate.

00:43:57.020 So we have those cases.

00:43:58.640 And then I have another case

00:43:59.740 that is actually going to

00:44:01.520 a hearing next week

00:44:03.060 on the censorship

00:44:04.340 of Twitter users

00:44:06.500 and the government's involvement

00:44:08.040 in that censorship.

00:44:08.820 Well, I'm glad you're fighting.

00:44:11.080 And I have to tell you,

00:44:12.160 I would love to see you

00:44:13.180 on the bench one day

00:44:14.560 issuing rulings of freedom.

00:44:17.420 And I hope that day

00:44:18.660 isn't long into the future.

00:44:20.500 Janine Yunus,

00:44:21.080 great to see you again.

00:44:21.920 Congratulations.

00:44:22.280 Thank you so much.

00:44:23.280 You're a great fighter on this.

00:44:25.560 Thank you so much, Ezra.

00:44:26.800 All right.

00:44:27.340 There you have it.

00:44:27.920 Janine Yunus

00:44:28.480 from the new Civil Liberties Alliance.

00:44:30.260 Stay with us more ahead.

00:44:31.040 I think it was a momentous day.

00:44:44.860 I think the mask mandate

00:44:47.180 in the United States

00:44:47.920 ended more with a whimper

00:44:49.120 than a bang.

00:44:51.860 It's outrageous that it took so long.

00:44:54.640 It's shocking how,

00:44:57.400 you know,

00:44:58.280 the dam broke

00:44:59.180 and suddenly everybody

00:45:00.160 was fine with normal again,

00:45:02.220 including people

00:45:02.920 who were enforcers

00:45:03.820 of the mask mandate.

00:45:05.880 I said to Janine

00:45:06.980 that just like Ron Rosenbaum

00:45:08.940 said a second Holocaust 0.88

00:45:09.960 is more likely than the first

00:45:11.300 because the first was unthinkable.

00:45:14.300 A second lockdown pandemic madness

00:45:17.120 is more likely than the first

00:45:19.000 because they've shown

00:45:20.240 they can do it.

00:45:21.560 They made tens of billions

00:45:23.620 of dollars off it.

00:45:24.500 I'm just talking about

00:45:25.080 Pfizer and Moderna alone.

00:45:26.300 Trillions of dollars

00:45:28.300 was at stake.

00:45:29.880 Power grabs,

00:45:30.860 mass surveillance.

00:45:32.800 Why wouldn't they do it again?

00:45:34.920 No one who was in on it

00:45:36.620 has suffered.

00:45:37.280 No one was fired.

00:45:38.140 No one was prosecuted.

00:45:39.940 China loved it.

00:45:41.940 The public health

00:45:42.740 deep state loved it.

00:45:43.760 It'll happen a second time.

00:45:46.320 At least if we don't learn

00:45:47.420 the proper lessons from it.

00:45:49.600 Let me end today's show

00:45:51.680 with a video of the day

00:45:52.500 from Sid Fizard of Calgary

00:45:54.960 who has a question.

00:45:57.080 The CB radio

00:45:57.760 could it play a role

00:45:58.780 in preserving free speech?

00:46:00.220 That's an interesting question.

00:46:01.360 I'll leave you with that video

00:46:02.040 until tomorrow.

00:46:03.440 On behalf of all of us here

00:46:04.480 at Rebel World Headquarters

00:46:05.580 to you at home.

00:46:06.140 Good night.

00:46:07.080 Keep fighting for freedom.

00:46:08.500 Today we're here to talk

00:46:09.320 about CB radio

00:46:10.360 and its potential key role

00:46:12.060 in the preservation

00:46:12.660 of free speech.

00:46:13.780 As well,

00:46:14.300 we're going to touch base

00:46:15.120 with a trucking company owner

00:46:16.760 based out of Saskatchewan

00:46:18.060 to hear what he has to say

00:46:19.440 about how it's used

00:46:20.260 in the industry

00:46:21.000 on a daily basis.

00:46:22.500 You might not be familiar

00:46:23.540 with citizen band radio

00:46:25.280 and its usage

00:46:26.060 has died down a fair bit

00:46:27.340 with the introduction

00:46:28.080 of phones and the internet

00:46:29.360 which provide faster,

00:46:30.680 more broad communication services.

00:46:32.460 But you can think of it

00:46:33.280 as a walkie-talkie system

00:46:34.960 for adults

00:46:35.600 used in emergencies

00:46:36.560 by authorities

00:46:37.440 as well as hobbyist preppers

00:46:38.720 and especially considered

00:46:39.900 where you might not often

00:46:40.860 find cell reception.

00:46:42.200 Most notably,

00:46:43.100 truckers use it

00:46:43.840 as a keen source

00:46:44.620 of information

00:46:45.220 and communication

00:46:46.060 while on the road.

00:46:47.280 It's used frequently,

00:46:48.220 however,

00:46:48.500 mostly remains hidden

00:46:49.680 from public view.

00:46:51.040 Even though this old-school

00:46:51.960 radio technology

00:46:52.780 doesn't have the wide range

00:46:54.320 of uses

00:46:54.780 or the speed

00:46:55.740 and value of the internet,

00:46:57.020 it does have its place

00:46:58.080 and it provides

00:46:58.680 a certain form of independence

00:47:00.000 which things like

00:47:00.820 the internet can't provide,

00:47:02.320 which may make it

00:47:03.020 a noteworthy tool

00:47:03.900 in the battle against the state

00:47:05.100 with regards to free speech.

00:47:06.840 Especially now,

00:47:07.760 during an era

00:47:08.300 of government-sponsored media

00:47:09.780 and mass spying

00:47:10.940 of civilians,

00:47:12.000 what we are allowed to know

00:47:13.180 has made each of us

00:47:14.120 a target of the state.

00:47:16.080 Anyone can purchase

00:47:17.140 a CB radio

00:47:18.020 and say whatever they want

00:47:19.200 without the infringement

00:47:20.200 of social media censorship.

00:47:22.240 And unlike the internet,

00:47:23.680 this radio doesn't face

00:47:24.940 the same physical hurdles

00:47:26.200 when it comes to access.

00:47:27.820 It operates outside

00:47:28.840 the functionality

00:47:29.640 of the internet

00:47:30.540 by way of people

00:47:31.660 dialing into certain

00:47:32.680 frequencies or channels.

00:47:34.520 And as mentioned,

00:47:35.340 CB radio is no stranger

00:47:36.980 to the trucker industry

00:47:38.020 where it does play

00:47:39.060 a significant role

00:47:40.260 in daily operations.

00:47:41.920 Starting our investigation

00:47:43.200 into this hidden means

00:47:44.600 of communication,

00:47:45.220 we're joined by Haru,

00:47:46.840 who owns a trucking company

00:47:47.980 in Saskatchewan,

00:47:49.120 where he details

00:47:49.940 some daily uses

00:47:50.900 of CB radio

00:47:52.000 in the trucker industry.

00:47:53.680 The most basic one

00:47:54.800 is Channel 19 CB radio.

00:47:57.500 It's basically,

00:47:59.800 we talk all the time

00:48:02.600 on CB 19

00:48:03.420 with other truckers

00:48:05.580 if there's an accident,

00:48:06.860 there's this fog,

00:48:08.680 or there's a sharp corner

00:48:11.140 and somebody's just pulled over

00:48:12.740 with their flashers on

00:48:13.940 and just informing

00:48:14.800 road conditions,

00:48:15.880 slippery sections

00:48:16.560 and all that stuff.

00:48:18.680 But there's more

00:48:19.960 that happens on that.

00:48:23.060 People do tend to talk

00:48:24.520 more than just that sometimes

00:48:26.540 and it's just nothing special.

00:48:29.880 But yeah,

00:48:30.260 it's a different world.

00:48:31.160 That's the only way

00:48:31.780 we can kind of communicate

00:48:32.700 with somebody else

00:48:33.540 other than ourselves

00:48:34.620 in the cab.

00:48:35.360 I'm not sure what else

00:48:36.520 happens on there,

00:48:37.460 but we're very strict

00:48:38.500 with what we do

00:48:39.380 with the CB radio,

00:48:40.340 so we use it

00:48:41.040 for what we're supposed

00:48:41.780 to use.

00:48:42.640 They're always on.

00:48:44.100 They're in the trucks.

00:48:45.400 You never shut them off.

00:48:46.960 You'll hear all

00:48:47.680 a bunch of stuff.

00:48:48.960 The usefulness

00:48:49.700 for truckers

00:48:50.280 is self-explanatory,

00:48:51.680 generally revolving

00:48:52.540 around road safety.

00:48:53.800 But as Haru mentions,

00:48:55.140 there's more than that

00:48:55.940 which takes place

00:48:56.700 on this quasi-hidden

00:48:57.880 communications platform.

00:48:59.240 This year alone,

00:49:00.180 we saw unprecedented

00:49:01.400 trucker convoys

00:49:02.460 and blockades

00:49:03.120 across the nation

00:49:04.200 in protest

00:49:04.860 of government mandates.

00:49:06.360 And given the connection

00:49:07.360 between semi-trucks

00:49:08.480 and CB radio,

00:49:09.540 I can't imagine

00:49:10.820 they went unused.

00:49:12.400 In years past,

00:49:13.320 it's alleged that CB radio

00:49:14.640 had been used

00:49:15.440 by one trucker

00:49:16.240 during the 1973

00:49:17.800 OPEC oil embargo

00:49:19.440 to start a nationwide

00:49:20.800 protest in the U.S.

00:49:22.320 against high fuel prices,

00:49:23.920 among other things.

00:49:24.920 And as Haru tells us,

00:49:26.100 the convoy

00:49:26.800 was more than likely

00:49:27.800 using CB radio

00:49:29.060 during its journey

00:49:30.020 to Ottawa.

00:49:31.240 Oh, they definitely are.

00:49:32.920 They definitely are.

00:49:34.240 It's a quickest way

00:49:35.840 of communicating.

00:49:37.220 Everybody is a one-child.

00:49:38.440 And all it takes

00:49:39.600 is one person

00:49:40.180 and you can talk

00:49:41.160 immediately.

00:49:42.360 So it's very quick

00:49:44.280 and everybody

00:49:46.520 can get to you

00:49:47.660 right away.

00:49:48.440 Like, you know,

00:49:49.440 if there's stock

00:49:50.980 or fuel

00:49:51.660 and, you know,

00:49:52.520 it's just,

00:49:53.300 it's a very quick way

00:49:54.880 of method

00:49:55.720 of communicating.

00:49:57.400 Where it's very,

00:49:57.960 so like someone

00:49:58.480 just picks stuff

00:49:59.260 and purchases a radio

00:50:00.220 and that's all

00:50:00.980 that's being aired

00:50:01.980 is other people talking.

00:50:03.780 Yeah, that's it.

00:50:04.540 The convoy drew

00:50:06.280 international attention

00:50:07.460 towards the peaceful fight

00:50:09.060 for civil liberties

00:50:10.020 here in Canada,

00:50:10.900 despite Trudeau's efforts

00:50:12.080 to thwart dissent.

00:50:13.320 This success

00:50:13.900 may partially be

00:50:14.920 thanks to CB radio,

00:50:16.460 both in terms of

00:50:17.200 navigating the convoy

00:50:18.420 as well as

00:50:19.060 the conveyance

00:50:19.780 of messaging

00:50:20.360 without government

00:50:21.220 or big tech consent.

00:50:23.080 Notably,

00:50:23.620 there was an increase

00:50:24.400 in CB radio sales

00:50:25.640 during the pandemic.

00:50:26.840 Meanwhile,

00:50:27.320 the government continues

00:50:28.220 to restrict media

00:50:29.260 on all fronts.

00:50:30.540 But this communications

00:50:31.500 platform provided

00:50:32.460 a separate world

00:50:33.440 for truckers

00:50:34.060 and convoy supporters

00:50:35.180 to communicate

00:50:35.920 with each other

00:50:36.560 without a third-party

00:50:38.020 overlord,

00:50:38.900 as emphasized

00:50:39.540 by the notable

00:50:40.700 entrepreneur Elon Musk

00:50:42.060 when he stated

00:50:42.780 that CB radios

00:50:43.940 are free from

00:50:44.780 government and media control.

00:50:46.900 Well, media control,

00:50:48.100 it kind of goes to,

00:50:49.900 I saw,

00:50:50.560 I don't know,

00:50:51.060 I'm not sure

00:50:51.520 if it was global

00:50:52.100 or CPV.

00:50:53.460 They just picked up

00:50:54.480 somebody random.

00:50:55.280 I advocate civil war. 1.00

00:50:57.720 If people don't

00:50:58.520 want to stand up,

00:50:59.800 we've got guns,

00:51:00.620 we'll stand up

00:51:01.480 and we'll bring them out.

00:51:02.960 They like to show

00:51:04.020 the negative side effect.

00:51:05.920 There's always bad apples.

00:51:07.400 It's a wrong message

00:51:08.220 being sent.

00:51:09.120 They always focus

00:51:10.220 on the wrong message

00:51:11.580 is what I believe.

00:51:14.320 And with CB radios

00:51:16.280 having them,

00:51:17.020 it's them

00:51:18.620 renegating why,

00:51:20.300 you know,

00:51:20.920 it's a real person

00:51:21.860 talking to you.

00:51:22.560 It's not a,

00:51:23.040 it's not a,

00:51:23.760 it's not a paid off

00:51:25.020 media talking to you,

00:51:25.940 right?

00:51:26.160 So it's different.

00:51:27.560 Haru highlights

00:51:28.200 a vital issue

00:51:29.120 we now face

00:51:29.800 here in Canada.

00:51:30.620 Major media outlets

00:51:31.780 are quick to spew

00:51:32.740 government positive

00:51:33.620 narratives while ignoring

00:51:35.000 the reality of the world

00:51:36.120 we live in.

00:51:36.880 Although it may have

00:51:37.580 played a unique role

00:51:38.700 in the trucker convoys

00:51:39.800 we've seen so far

00:51:40.720 in 2022,

00:51:41.840 it's not certain

00:51:42.480 to what capacity

00:51:43.500 CB radio

00:51:44.560 affected the protests.

00:51:46.060 Either way,

00:51:46.600 it might be worth

00:51:47.220 having one in the back pocket

00:51:48.740 just in case

00:51:49.520 as we're seeing

00:51:50.200 continued efforts

00:51:51.080 by our government

00:51:51.800 to restrict our free speech

00:51:53.600 on other communications platforms.
