Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ What on earth is happening to Australia？

00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. Today, I give you a bit of an Australian update. There's a lot of crazy things

00:00:05.200 going on down there. The lockdown is, I think, the most extreme in the world. I used to say that

00:00:09.720 about Montreal with its curfew at night, and I used to say that about some aspects of Alberta

00:00:15.180 where they were jailing pastors. And I think those are two astonishing things, Toronto's year-long

00:00:20.520 restaurant ban. But Australia has gone so far, you know, road check stops, soldiers in the streets,

00:00:28.620 300 soldiers patrolling the city. What are they going to do? Shoot something, you know, use a

00:00:33.040 missile? I don't get it. It's amazing and terrible and terrifying and atrocious, but there are little 0.79

00:00:39.000 green shoots of hope, too. I'll give you two reasons to feel hopeful. That's ahead.

00:00:46.080 There's a few videos I just really wish you could see. I know you're listening to the podcast,

00:00:50.500 but if you get the video version of the podcast, we call it Rebel News Plus. It's the video version.

00:00:54.480 It's just eight bucks a month. Go to rebelnews.com, click subscribe. There's some things you have to

00:00:59.560 see to believe. Some press scrums, a policeman. And then the last video today is just an incredible

00:01:07.940 moving video about a protest in Sydney. So please consider becoming a video subscriber. Eight bucks

00:01:14.020 a month. That's half the price of Netflix. Besides my daily show, you get Sheila Gunn-Reed, David Menzies,

00:01:18.860 and Andrew Chapitre, those two. And of course, the eight bucks a month helps us stay independent.

00:01:22.800 All right, folks, here's the podcast.

00:01:31.820 Tonight, what on earth is happening in Australia? It's July 30th, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.

00:01:45.560 Australia thinks it can contain the virus because they're an island. They think if they're just strict

00:02:12.160 enough, they can be saved from it. I'll show you some crazy footage in a moment, but let's go over

00:02:17.340 some basics first. A virus cannot be contained. It just can't be. Not when humans are around because

00:02:24.000 humans are social animals. We talk and gather and travel. Viruses have always been on the earth,

00:02:30.240 always will be. If there were a nuclear holocaust, viruses would survive. It's super gross that China 1.00

00:02:36.800 put an enormous effort into discovering new viruses, going into caves, specifically looking

00:02:44.080 for viruses that were hidden away, trapping bats and the ticks that live on them. This is a Chinese 1.00

00:02:49.980 version of sort of National Geographic or something, a propaganda video, boasting about how China has

00:02:55.740 discovered more viruses than the rest of the world combined. Yeah, thanks, guys. But it's even

00:03:01.920 grosser that China's virus research work is funded by the United States, including by Anthony Fauci

00:03:08.720 as the decider. Not just any virus work. The work at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where Fauci paid

00:03:17.880 China to research spreading viruses from animals to humans. How is he not in jail yet? That's biological 0.74

00:03:24.660 warfare. You know what? Life goes on. Since time immemorial, plagues come.

00:03:29.800 Read about in the book of Exodus, the 10 plagues that God put on Egypt. Now, most of them were not

00:03:35.160 literally plagues. Turning the Nile River red as blood, for example. But one of the plagues was

00:03:39.880 boils. Another was lice. Another was cattle disease. I'm going to guess that viruses were involved.

00:03:45.960 Black Death, the bubonic plague. We're learning a bit over the centuries about dealing with viruses,

00:03:51.440 but they come and go over the millennia. Washing your hands was a pretty big breakthrough.

00:03:56.520 Keeping a sense of hygiene, making it so that rats don't fester, for example. But really,

00:04:03.080 I think we're going to be okay. Science has come up with some vaccines over the years that seem to

00:04:08.920 work. We've had decades to observe how some of those vaccines work and to weigh the inevitable side

00:04:14.740 effects against the risk of the diseases themselves. Some inoculations have such a poisonous

00:04:20.720 effect on your body, though. The doctors say you can't take them if you're pregnant or trying to

00:04:25.800 get pregnant. It's just too dangerous for the baby. This is the CDC, Centers for Disease Control's own 0.99

00:04:33.180 website. Which vaccine should I not get if I'm pregnant? Some vaccines are not recommended during

00:04:39.440 pregnancy, such as HPV vaccine, measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine, live influenza vaccine,

00:04:46.320 varicella, that's chickenpox. Certain travel vaccines, yellow fever, typhoid fever, Japanese

00:04:52.180 encephalitis. Note, these travel vaccines should generally not be given during pregnancy unless your

00:04:58.500 health care provider determines the benefits upweigh the risks. Now, I know some malaria meds are the

00:05:03.180 same way. They're not vaccine, but they're meds. They save you from a disastrous disease of malaria,

00:05:09.080 but they'll wreak havoc on you, including on your mental state. Now, we won't know for months,

00:05:15.100 for years, really, the full side effects of the various COVID-19 vaccines. And they're each

00:05:21.180 different. Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are the first ever mRNA vaccines, what are sometimes called

00:05:28.100 gene therapy vaccines. There are about a half a dozen different COVID vaccines out there, including

00:05:33.020 ones from China and Russia. It's too early to know how effective each vaccine is, and much too early to know

00:05:38.720 what all the long-term side effects are. As we showed you the other day, so many things simply

00:05:43.780 haven't even been tested yet, according to the vaccine makers themselves. The idea that I think

00:05:49.380 maybe Justin Trudeau came up with of mixing and matching vaccines, that just hasn't been tested,

00:05:54.720 according to Pfizer, at least. Pregnancy, effect on women's fertility. Sorry, we just don't know yet.

00:06:01.900 Not enough time has passed yet. But every day there are headlines about people who have been

00:06:06.940 vaccinated, who follow the rules. And they're getting COVID-19 again, even seriously enough 0.98

00:06:13.020 to be in the hospital again. So that affects the balance, right? If the vaccine doesn't really work

00:06:17.580 well, it's less compelling to accept its side effects, especially now that we know much more

00:06:22.420 about the disease of COVID-19 itself, that it really only goes after people in their 70s and 80s.

00:06:27.320 If you're under 60, I saw these stats from Colby Kosh the other day, you have more than a 99.5%

00:06:36.280 chance of survival. I remember when I was a kid and Dove Soap advertised that it was

00:06:41.120 99.44% pure. That's pretty pure soap. It's not exactly yellow fever, the black plague, is it?

00:06:50.900 So back to Australia. They've had extremely strict lockdowns. They've been trying to get the zero

00:06:56.000 COVID thing. They won't even let tens of thousands of their own citizens come home to Australia. 0.88

00:07:01.280 Forget about quarantining. They just won't let them back. Which is odd, because politicians seem

00:07:05.860 to be able to travel as they want to, because you know they're very important. Well, we've told you

00:07:11.920 about lockdowns in Australia, particularly in the state of Victoria, which is in the southeast of the

00:07:15.880 country, covering the city of Melbourne. Their premier there is literally a communist sympathizer.

00:07:21.100 I don't say that as an insult, but rather as a description. He went to communist China to sign a

00:07:26.420 secret treaty with them. Again, I'm not calling it secret as some sort of slur. He refused to reveal

00:07:32.160 the details of his treaty that he signed on behalf of his state. How does that even work? He's not even

00:07:37.820 the prime minister or the foreign minister of Australia. He's just a really huge fan of communist China.

00:07:42.280 That's Dan Andrews. So he presided over the worst of the lockdowns. Road checkpoints to stop you from

00:07:48.580 traveling more than a few kilometers away from your house. Riot police charging at any protesters.

00:07:55.780 Mask insanity, just absolutely nutty, like these cops who wouldn't respect a woman's mask exemption. 0.61

00:08:00.820 So they stole her bag and took it off the train. So she had to get off the train, too. I'm not sure if

00:08:05.600 that was in the state of Victoria, but I assume it was. They've been the worst. But now other states in

00:08:10.880 Australia are in lockdown, too, just for a handful of cases, like three cases, including New South

00:08:16.040 Wales, which is the state where the major city of Sydney is located. And it's actually under a kind

00:08:22.320 of martial law now. 300 soldiers have joined police to patrol the streets. They're enforcing emergency

00:08:29.240 laws that essentially put the public under house arrest. I actually think that meets a definition of

00:08:35.520 martial law. And listen to this guy and look at his face. I tell you, if this video I'm about to show

00:08:41.780 you were in grainy black and white footage, and if he had a German accent, would he not be

00:08:46.520 indistinguishable from a Nazi Gestapo officer? Again, I'm not name calling. I'm asking you to assess the

00:08:53.260 similarities and differences, besides the color footage and the accent, here.

00:08:58.520 Strike force season has continued to investigate offenses committed last Saturday through an

00:09:03.620 unauthorized protest. So far, police have arrested over 60 people and charged them, as well as issuing

00:09:10.280 148 infringement notices. We made it very clear on that day that type of protest would not be tolerated.

00:09:17.880 We made it very clear, and I think the community has made it very clear, that that type of action

00:09:21.600 might be tolerated. We're certainly in possession of information that people are considering a

00:09:26.920 follow-up protest to that conducted last Saturday. Can I say to you that we have deployed significant

00:09:32.840 intelligence assets, and other police methodology has been deployed, to gather as much information

00:09:38.720 about those activities as possible. Nothing has changed. Now is not the time to conduct unauthorized

00:09:46.220 protests. Police are well prepared, well resourced, and we will not tolerate those types of

00:09:51.580 actions. What we've demonstrated over the last week is even where action is not taken on

00:09:57.900 the day, we will follow it up, and you will receive the appropriate patient.

00:10:02.820 Can I say to those people out there who are doing the right thing, thank you, but we certainly

00:10:07.900 know that there continues to be people who flout the health orders. Now is the time to ensure

00:10:13.900 that you comply with it. Police are present right across the greater metropolitan area, in significant

00:10:19.580 numbers, and will continue to be so. It's important that we work together, it's important that people

00:10:25.660 comply and stay home unless absolutely necessary. That is atrocious, but however bad it is, the media

00:10:31.900 party wants it worse. Look at this, look at these hounds demanding house arrest, random searches,

00:10:37.100 house to house, no search warrants. I'm serious, put that in German. House to house, warrantless searches.

00:10:43.580 I'm sorry, that's what the Nazis did. Getting told households, the big problem, are you going to be

00:10:48.460 going suburb to suburb, street to street, door to door, knocking on these, and actively looking for

00:10:53.580 people who are in the wrong house and finding them on the spot? Yeah, look absolutely, overnight we

00:10:57.500 conducted hundreds of checks. What about, yeah, to Liz's question, random door to door checks,

00:11:04.060 not just close contacts. People in these LGAs, people where you think, people in areas where you think the

00:11:09.340 virus is spreading in households, you have to come down hard. Curfews, bring in the army, or the ring 0.58

00:11:15.180 of steel, are any of those off the table at this point? Nothing is off the table between. Will you

00:11:20.540 change the rule to prevent, to limit the table for compassionate reasons to just five kilometers? There are

00:11:26.780 one or two guys in the mainstream media on TV down there who are lockdown skeptics. I think it's just two,

00:11:33.020 which is two more than in Canada. Is there anyone on TV in Canada who's a lockdown skeptic? Let me know

00:11:38.140 if you can think of one. Alan Jones is the name of this guy. And the fact that he dares to have a

00:11:43.180 different point of view, well, watch this. You literally have the rest of the mainstream media,

00:11:48.220 all the reporters taffling on him to politicians. It's so weird. These so-called reporters aren't

00:11:52.940 speaking truth to power. They're not holding power to account. They're not acting as watchdogs or even

00:11:58.060 as an informal opposition. They're not watchdogs. They're lapdogs for the powerful. They're happy to be

00:12:03.660 attack dogs against any journalists who leave the narrative.

00:12:06.780 Will you change the rule, Minister? Sorry, James. There's been a number of commentators,

00:12:16.140 one in particular, who's called into question the need for a lockdown, called into question the

00:12:21.820 expertise of the chief health officer. What do you say to people like Alan Jones who've made those

00:12:29.980 comments publicly and keep repeating them? That's insane. Nearby New Zealand is even crazier,

00:12:35.820 of course. Their prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, is actually a communist sympathizer too. She used to

00:12:40.300 run the Socialist International Youth. Again, close friends with China, donations from China.

00:12:45.900 And since New Zealand's even a smaller island, even more isolated, they've really been trying to do this

00:12:50.380 zero COVID thing, which means they throw the whole place into a lockdown if there's a single outbreak,

00:12:55.500 which means you'll never get herd immunity. You'll never be free. You'll never move on.

00:12:59.180 You'll never be able to open up and travel and live normally again. It just won't

00:13:02.940 work. But she won't actually let anyone say that or talk about that. She won't let anyone hear that.

00:13:09.580 Remember this. She says the only people you should even listen to in New Zealand are the government.

00:13:15.580 Who says that? We will share with you the most up-to-date information daily. You can trust us

00:13:22.140 as a source of that information. You can also trust the Director General of Health

00:13:27.340 and the Ministry of Health. For that information, do feel free to visit at any time to clarify any

00:13:33.500 rumour you may hear, covid19.govt.nz. Otherwise, dismiss anything else. We will continue to be your

00:13:42.940 single source of truth. We will provide information frequently. We will share everything we can,

00:13:48.620 everything you are, else you see, a grain of salt. And so I really ask people to focus on that.

00:13:55.100 Well, there's a great example of that appears to be this text which originated in Malaysia and has

00:13:59.260 kind of has become a viral hoax in Australia and in New Zealand. How irresponsible is it the people

00:14:03.740 that are sharing that news of a lockdown imminent in New Zealand? Yeah. And look, that's the kind of

00:14:08.380 thing that adds to the anxiety that people feel. So I continue to share the message. New Zealanders must

00:14:14.780 prepare. But do not panic. Prepare. And when you see those messages, remember that unless you hear it

00:14:22.540 from us, it is not the truth. And I really ask people, just visit covid19.govt.nz. It has all of

00:14:31.820 the up-to-date information. And we will continue to provide everything you need to know.

00:14:36.380 Huh. Well, back to Australia for a bit. Victoria State, where communist Dan Andrews is running the

00:14:42.140 show. A lovely woman named Carrie Cotterill put on her face mask and went outside for a walk, 1.00

00:14:48.140 which is permitted under the lockdown for exercise. But she made a cute little sign that said, 0.99

00:14:52.700 toot to boot. And then a picture of Dan Andrews. So toot as in honk your horn. That's it.

00:14:57.980 And she was by herself. And then a squad of police swarmed her and specifically said,

00:15:03.900 you can't protest Dan Andrews. You don't have to say or do anything.

00:15:07.500 But anything you say or do is being recorded and confused as evidence. Do you understand that?

00:15:10.700 That's fine. Because I believe the reason you're anti-alpha

00:15:12.540 movements, which is... That's fine.

00:15:14.860 ...the directions of the chief help officer during stage four lockdowns.

00:15:19.260 Do you understand what the core things... Well, you're not 1.5 meters from me,

00:15:22.780 so you're actually breaking it. No, but due to the, uh, due to the heavy traffic,

00:15:26.460 I'm going to be closer right now whilst we're wearing our masks so that we can effectively

00:15:29.900 communicate. Okay, but you're still not 1.5 meters, which is...

00:15:32.940 Well, 1.5 meters, we probably wouldn't be able to communicate very well,

00:15:35.740 and I'd like you to be able to hear me, and I'd like to be able to hear what you say as well.

00:15:38.860 Okay. Well, I'm going for a walk, so...

00:15:41.820 You're clearly currently conducting a protest. That's the first time to boot

00:15:45.820 with a picture of Daniel Andrews, and you are saying, Dan, Dan.

00:15:49.580 That's okay. I'm allowed to wear this, aren't I?

00:15:52.300 They really just said that. The guy really is a communist, isn't he? I mean, he was in words like

00:15:56.860 Nazi and communist a lot. I don't often say that, literally, but I think

00:16:02.780 the Nazis and communists are similar creatures. They're authoritarian bullies who do not believe 0.95

00:16:05.980 in civil liberties or dissent. I think that's what we're seeing here. I mean, get this. 0.92

00:16:11.340 And frankly, I don't even, I don't, seriously, I'm making a serious point. I don't know what

00:16:15.740 half of them are protesting against.

00:16:17.340 You.

00:16:18.540 Well, a lot of them.

00:16:20.300 Then, well, good on them, except it's illegal.

00:16:24.620 Did you see that? He said you can't protest him. You can't. He just says that.

00:16:31.100 Well, you know what? We helped Carrie Cotterill. Our Australian viewers crowdfunded a lawyer for her,

00:16:36.540 but not just to fight her fine, but to challenge the whole thing in the Supreme Court of Victoria.

00:16:41.420 And wouldn't you know it, the past two days, that's what's been happening down in Melbourne

00:16:45.580 with an amazing lawyer, Kathleen Foley, Harvard trained, top notch. I think we've got a real

00:16:50.780 chance down there. There's one more day of hearings on Monday in Melbourne, which is Sunday night

00:16:55.260 in Canada. You can actually watch it on the internet if you're curious. It's pretty exciting,

00:16:58.860 I got to say. Watching a top lawyer grill World Health Organization public health officers.

00:17:05.420 You can find that at savevictoria.com. I'm so proud that Avi Yamini led the fight on that

00:17:11.820 and that our Australian viewers crowdfunded the lawsuit.

00:17:15.660 Now, that's our Canadian tactics being replicated down under. I love it.

00:17:20.860 I think we have a chance of winning that case, though I know judges are loath to oppose governments,

00:17:25.020 even though this emergency seems to be a permanent emergency now.

00:17:29.020 But let me leave you with some hope. Instead of an interview today, I'm going to play this whole

00:17:34.540 video now. It's from Australia. There's no reporter in it. This is from Sydney, not Melbourne.

00:17:40.620 There's no reporter, just a camera and a soundtrack and the backdrop, the setting of Sydney,

00:17:47.020 and tens of thousands of ordinary Sydney-siders, as they're called, doing what Dan Andrews and

00:17:53.340 Victoria and the Media Party and the World Health Organization told them they can't do.

00:17:56.460 They're going out to speak for their freedom. I've watched this video now four times. It's so

00:18:01.740 beautiful to me. I think the absence of a reporter actually makes it purer in a way. It's just the

00:18:06.140 people just speaking from the heart about why they love Australia, why they are despairing at what's

00:18:11.980 happening, but why they will protest anyways. I really love this, and it gave me a little bit of

00:18:17.660 hope too. So let me play for you this video in full.

00:18:29.660 To be honest with you, I didn't know that today was going to be running at all. I was going for a

00:18:42.700 drive and I heard on the radio that there was a few roads blocked and some protesting going on. I have

00:18:48.620 no idea who organised this today, because there's way too many people here for it to be sudden. We

00:18:53.020 heard about this not from the TV, but through word of mouth. Word of mouth spreads faster than the news.

00:18:58.620 When I saw that in the street, I was almost crying.

00:19:05.340 It was extraordinary when we saw people just coming out of every side street out onto the park.

00:19:09.660 We're here today to represent the people that don't have the courage to come out and stand up for their

00:19:13.500 rights. We're the voice favourites. It's very simple. Welcome to the socialist nation of Australia.

00:19:18.940 We won't let that happen. There's only one right here, and it's called freedom.

00:19:24.700 Freedom of choice, freedom of speech, and some people have been arguing for years about

00:19:29.020 it's my body, my choice.

00:19:38.620 I believe in freedom. We are meant to mix, we are meant to move around, and we are stopped by all this

00:19:44.700 propaganda.

00:19:51.820 Now there's going to be a segregation, a divide. This is not okay. We deserve a choice,

00:19:57.180 not manipulation and bullying. Like,

00:20:01.980 why is this much force on something? Anything that is good for us should be out of our own free will.

00:20:07.980 We're living in a time where we're being bullied by the media bureaucrats, and we shouldn't be. I mean,

00:20:11.980 who gets to dictate that? Any dissenting type narrative has been blocked from the media,

00:20:16.540 and anyone who talks negatively about lockdowns and all that appears to be blocked. Facebook will

00:20:20.300 tell you it's potentially misleading information. It's not even up for discussion. They feel entitled

00:20:26.620 to put all these things in place without public debate going on. It's all, you know, under the guise

00:20:32.940 of public health, anti-terrorism. Anyone who has a critique of the government is labelled a terrorist

00:20:39.580 in this kind of climate. It's really concerning. Because I'm a disability nurse and I'm going to

00:20:44.540 lose the job that I love of nine years because they're mandating this within the health industry.

00:20:51.500 So many people in my industry are on board with me. I'm in health care, so that for me is a no-no.

00:20:58.620 Don't force it on people. You want to take it, take it. What's the point? Who cares about it, man?

00:21:04.380 Australia's a free country, man. It's a beautiful country. We're all in our country. Who's going to

00:21:08.060 pay the bills? Who's going to pay the mortgage? The bank still wants their money. There's no hope

00:21:12.620 for the younger generation locking us down. There's no hope for anyone. People are dying from

00:21:17.180 suicide and depression. You don't hear about that, do you?

00:21:19.660 Australia. What's going to happen to the suicide rates as the time goes by? What's going to happen

00:21:29.740 to the people who can't afford to pay their rent? What's going to happen to the people who don't

00:21:33.580 have the freedom of medical choice? We're all just out here trying to get our jobs back,

00:21:38.300 trying to get our lives back. You know, two weeks to slow the spread or 18 months and we'll just keep

00:21:42.860 ticking over as long as we feel like. It felt like about 10 million people, but realistically it was

00:21:47.500 probably about 10,000. The whole of Broadway was shut down. Yeah, we're all moving in one direction.

00:21:51.260 Men with drums, megaphones, you know, lots of signage. I've come here today to join with these tens of

00:21:57.420 thousands of people for our freedom, for our right to choose.

00:22:04.860 And so I'm hoping that this is enough to at least spark a discussion, an open discussion,

00:22:11.660 even if it's one person's reality and another person's reality that we can come together and

00:22:16.620 dialogue about it. I'm just another member of society that would like to protest against this

00:22:24.620 infringement of our freedoms. Both of us are holistic health practitioners and we've just had enough of

00:22:30.940 this business of knowing what's wrong for our clients and for people's well-being in relation to

00:22:36.140 mask mandates. Most of us have to follow along with this narrative just to keep practicing.

00:22:41.260 And the other thing is, um, you know, we're standing in freedom, um, not just for ourselves,

00:22:46.940 but for everyone. We stand in peace. And in love. Yeah. Yeah.

00:22:54.300 Basically here only because we had enough for the government lying to us. We have enough that

00:22:58.860 people are believing the government and watching the zombie TV every single day.

00:23:02.540 And we have to be free. We have to have a choice of freedom. So let's just everyone open their eyes

00:23:11.420 and actually find the right information. The information is open for you.

00:23:24.540 We think we have the right to protest in this country, especially we came to this country. I came here,

00:23:31.420 she was born here, she was born here, to have a freedom. We didn't have any freedom in our country.

00:23:40.780 How come Black Lives Matter protest happened and it was allowed? That's my concern. Why is that allowed? 1.00

00:23:48.620 And why is this not allowed? This is freedom of speech. This is freedom for our rights.

00:23:52.940 Whatever religion you are, we should come together and stand together. Enough is enough. 0.91

00:23:56.620 Exactly. This is not democracy country anymore. Listen people, wake up. Just don't fear. Don't be scared.

00:24:04.300 Whatever they say, do not be afraid. That's the main part. That's what they want to kill us with,

00:24:08.540 with fear. We don't even need seven news, nine news. It's all fake. Fake media, fake news.

00:24:13.900 Fake media, fake media, fake media, fake media, fake media, fake media.

00:24:17.740 With the things that are being put in place, it seems quite clear that we're not a free country anymore.

00:24:24.300 And that's really disturbing. Anyone who's, you know, survived communist regimes and things like that,

00:24:31.260 there are very telling signs with what's going on now that are concerning for the future.

00:24:36.940 Once they put these things in place, you know, how can they bring things back from this?

00:24:43.500 Look, a generation ago, our mothers and fathers fought and died to preserve our freedoms. You know,

00:24:51.580 a generation ago, we thought it was worth sacrificing millions of lives for the sake of preserving those

00:24:57.180 freedoms. Now we throw away those freedoms for the sake of preserving lives. Presumably, we don't want to

00:25:02.780 live in a country where they have electronic surveillance on you, where they can tell you

00:25:06.940 when you come in and when you go out, whether you can go to work, who you can associate with,

00:25:11.180 you know, whether you're able to embrace people. I've lost a good friend to the virus, not in Syria,

00:25:15.740 not in Australia. I've known seven people who've suicided over this period. The real cost of the

00:25:22.300 lockdowns, I don't believe, I've never believed that what is driving government policy is primarily a

00:25:29.020 concern for our health. If it was, there would be more account taken at the other side of that

00:25:34.060 equation of the cost of lockdowns, the cost on mental health, the cost on jobs, the rise of domestic

00:25:39.660 violence, all the associated ills, which the government will never be held responsible for,

00:25:45.420 but which are real and which are damaging and which are destroying us and destroying our community.

00:25:50.140 And I think this is what these lockdowns do. They strip us of our humanity. They break down community

00:25:56.780 and they destroy the country we fought for, the country we love, the values we cherish.

00:26:04.620 We need to stand up and fight, not violently, but we need to be ready to have violence done to us,

00:26:10.780 I suspect, by police and others. We've got to be ready to count the cost as our mothers and our fathers

00:26:17.980 did when they fought to give us these freedoms. It's time for us now to stand up and fight to preserve them.

00:26:26.780 We'll be right back.

00:26:30.620 We'll be right back.

00:26:32.620 We'll be right back.

00:26:34.620 We'll be right back.

00:26:36.620 We'll be right back. 0.99

00:26:37.900 Well, Australia has gone mad.

00:26:39.340 You know, I mean, here in our office, in our studio, watching the lockdowns unfold,

00:26:45.340 and it was so harsh in Australia and the UK first, while it was sort of normal in Canada for about six months,

00:26:51.180 nine months. It took us almost a year to get as bad as them. Then they loosened up, and now they've gone

00:26:56.540 absolutely mad. 300 soldiers in the streets in Sydney. I don't know how that's going to end.

00:27:01.180 What happens if you have 10,000, 20,000 people in the street? Are they going to just

00:27:06.140 do a Tiananmen Square on them? I know that sounds insane to say, but you do have the communists in

00:27:10.380 charge. You do have the police in the streets. You do have stay at home orders. What's going to happen?

00:27:15.580 I don't know. It's madness. That's our show for today.

00:27:19.500 Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Highquarters, to you at home,

00:27:23.340 good night, and keep fighting for freedom.
