Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ What's changing for Canada after yesterday's unnecessary election？

00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. Today, I do a bit of a recap on last night's election. Not a lot has changed.

00:00:05.420 There were a few wonderful moments, like when Merriam Monson was sacked by the good people

00:00:10.240 of Peterborough. There's a very tight race, a nail-biter in Vancouver-Granville. Depends

00:00:15.380 who will pick up, what turns on it is who will succeed. Joey Wilson-Raybould as the MP for that

00:00:22.580 writing. I'll also tell you what it means for civil liberties when Justin Trudeau basically

00:00:28.760 declares war on his remaining media opponent, namely us, Rebel News. And we'll show you

00:00:34.520 all about that. During the course of the election, we made our paywall show free to the public

00:00:41.880 because we thought it was important. But we're going back to the paywall now. So I'd like

00:01:15.200 You're listening to Rebel News Podcast.

00:01:25.200 Tonight, it's the day after Canada's unnecessary election. What's changed for the world and for

00:01:32.360 us? It's September 21st, and this is the Ezra LeVance Show.

00:01:38.180 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:41.440 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:45.500 The only thing I have to say to the government, the wire publisher, is because it's my bloody

00:01:50.400 right to do so.

00:01:51.360 Hey, welcome back. I hope you tuned in last night, at least for part of our election night

00:02:01.680 live stream. We were live for almost five hours. I was out here in Toronto. Sheila Gunn-Reed

00:02:06.740 was based in the West, and we talked to our correspondents across the country, Drea Humphrey

00:02:11.840 in Vancouver, Adam Sose in Calgary and the rural parts. We talked to Alexa Lavoie, who flew

00:02:18.320 to Saskatchewan, where Maxime Bernier's People's Party had their headquarters. And David Menzies

00:02:24.080 was in the greater Toronto area, Richmond Hill to be precise, following an interesting race

00:02:29.560 there. Andrew Chapados joined us from his home in the Toronto area. We had lots of people

00:02:34.080 chiming in throughout the day, showcasing some of the amazing talent that Rebel News has put

00:02:39.800 together over the last year. You know, I counted up all the people who work for Rebel, who are

00:02:45.560 either on TV, on camera, full-time or part-time. In Canada alone, I'm not even talking about

00:02:51.360 our friends in Australia or our new friend in the UK. In Canada alone, we have 17 people

00:02:57.140 who at least occasionally appear on camera. By that, I mean, maybe their main job is editing,

00:03:04.580 but they're on camera from time to time. So we deployed the largest force ever. And I really

00:03:10.500 had fun last night taking questions. Our primary forum last night was rumble.com. We also live

00:03:18.820 streamed on odyssey.com and a Canadian channel called superu.net. That was in addition to our

00:03:24.960 traditional YouTube channel, because as you know, YouTube is slowly, slowly starving us,

00:03:30.300 throttling us. They're going to eventually kill us. So we're trying to migrate most of our viewers

00:03:34.160 onto other platforms. And last night, we had more than double the number of people watching us on

00:03:39.880 Rumble then on YouTube. At the end of the night, I added it up, and we had 189,000 people who tuned

00:03:48.220 into Rebel News to get their information. That's amazing. And I saw this still image from, I think

00:03:55.800 it was Global TV, reporting from the scene on Maxine Bernier's headquarters. Look in the background.

00:04:03.720 That's us. That's our Rebel News live stream was what they were piping in to PPC headquarters.

00:04:08.460 I don't blame them. You know, the number one question that the journalist at Maxine Bernier's

00:04:14.100 headquarters had to ask wasn't about his incredible surge from, you know, pre-campaign of about one

00:04:20.060 and a half percent to over five percent, like tripling his party's support, having mass rallies and

00:04:25.920 inspiring what I think is the grassroots movement. They had nothing to ask him about that. They were

00:04:30.540 asking why he wasn't wearing masks. I kid you not. Listen to these reporters on the election night

00:04:36.960 whining about masks, which you know they don't wear except for when it's for performance art. Take a look at this.

00:04:42.420 Here in Saskatchewan, we're about a week away from starting to triage patients. Do you feel that this is

00:04:48.060 an irresponsible event because there's no masks? Or what are your thoughts on holding a gathering

00:04:53.280 like this during the time where we are about a week, a week and a half away from starting to triage

00:04:58.820 people in Saskatchewan? First of all, we must admit that unvaccinated people are not dangerous.

00:05:03.540 You know, everybody is in the same boat, vaccinated people and unvaccinated people. Everybody can

00:05:09.900 spread the virus. That's based on science. That's based on common sense. So that being said, there's

00:05:15.340 no way to do more discrimination and segregation in this country. We will fight always for our freedoms

00:05:20.660 and we want people to be able to decide if they want to wear a mask or not and if they want to have

00:05:27.240 the vaccine or not. And we don't want to live in a more socialist country and we don't want to live in a

00:05:34.500 country where everybody will have to show their papers like in communist China. That's not our country. That's a 0.91

00:05:40.640 fight that we always do. And that's why we are doing politics differently. We want to be sure that Canadians

00:05:46.040 understand that this election is an important one. It's about our rights and our freedoms. And the next one will be there

00:05:53.920 and we'll be always be there to fight for what we believe openly with passion and conviction.

00:05:59.060 Given Saskatchewan's high numbers, why did you decide to come here tonight?

00:06:02.360 We decided to come here tonight because we have a lot of support in Western Canada.

00:06:06.620 And, you know, look at the numbers, but look at the deaths. You know, numbers can be high everywhere,

00:06:12.040 but we're not in an emergency state right now. After more than one year, there's no emergency.

00:06:18.200 We must be able to go back to our lives. And that's not the case right now in a lot of provinces like here.

00:06:23.620 And I'm the only real opposition in this country that will fight for freedom. Everything that is

00:06:29.580 happening right now here, it's unconstitutional, illegal, immoral, and unjust. We are putting

00:06:36.380 people in different two classes of citizens, vaccinated ones that are supposed to be the 0.96

00:06:42.580 good ones and unvaccinated ones that are supposed to be the bad ones. We want to unite Canadians under

00:06:48.100 the freedom umbrella. Everybody must be free to do what they want to do with their life.

00:06:52.600 And there's no emergency anymore. Look at the death in this country.

00:06:56.320 And on command, the Saskatoon police actually tweeted that they were on the file.

00:07:02.420 Serious crime being committed. Apparently there's no crimes being committed in all of Saskatchewan,

00:07:06.920 but they wanted to, well, they didn't dare arrest Maxime Bernier, or would they?

00:07:10.740 He was arrested at the behest of Manitoba's premier a few weeks ago, and that was fine by the media.

00:07:16.360 We had a great night in terms of what Rebel had done. We had covered the news. We had the best

00:07:24.660 questions in the leaders' debate during the campaign. We had to fight our way in there.

00:07:30.740 But at the end of the night, although we yo-yoed a bit throughout the evening, as you know today,

00:07:36.020 the results of the election were almost exactly, in terms of seat count, what they were before the

00:07:44.440 election was called. Almost nothing changed other than the taxpayers out close to a billion dollars.

00:07:51.420 I want to show you a couple of clips from that, and we'll talk to Spencer Fernando later.

00:07:58.280 Here's Justin Trudeau claiming that he has some sort of mandate to proceed. Take a look at this.

00:08:06.120 Thank you all. You are sending us back to work with a clear mandate to get Canada through this

00:08:14.900 pandemic and to the brighter days ahead. And my friends, that's exactly what we are ready to do.

00:08:22.620 A mandate? He won the election with 32%, the lowest percentage that any Canadian government,

00:08:32.320 federal government in history, has won. And yet, because of our quirky past the post system of how

00:08:38.820 it's all added up, that 32% was enough to put him in charge. Never before has it happened with such a

00:08:45.440 low count. And by the way, voter turnout was down, I guess partly because of people afraid to go out

00:08:51.160 from the COVID, I think. Also partly because it was cold during the summer. I don't know. I think people

00:08:56.880 were just frustrated by the lack of choice, is what I would say. But the voter turnout was down

00:09:03.280 significantly. And so even though Justin Trudeau got about 30% of the vote, he did so in a much

00:09:09.960 voter smaller, a much smaller voter pool. In fact, he received about 1.5 million votes less than he had

00:09:19.720 last time. And yet he's claiming a mandate. In fact, here's his senior global warming strategist

00:09:25.960 hired from the Tides Foundation is where she came from. Here she is crowing on Twitter that this is a 0.79

00:09:31.220 mandate to proceed even more dramatically on the global warming file. I'm not sure if it's that,

00:09:38.100 but I think Trudeau will do what he always wants to do. I mean, he didn't, if you listen to when he

00:09:44.380 said he believed in China's basic dictatorship, remember how he finished that sentence. It was

00:09:49.040 so they could do environmental action twice as fast as a democracy with checks and balances could. So

00:09:55.620 here's that full quote where he talks about using the basic dictatorship to ram through

00:10:01.000 environmental ideas. Look at this. The level of admiration I actually have for China

00:10:07.660 because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime and

00:10:17.540 say, we need to go green as fast as we need to start investing in solar. Yeah. So I don't think

00:10:22.440 Trudeau has a mandate, but really if the NDP and the bloc and even Erin O'Toole are all agreements,

00:10:29.100 agreement on the basic principles, the carbon tax is good. We got a transition off the oil sands.

00:10:34.360 We somehow think that the Paris global warming meeting that the UN had is binding on us. There

00:10:40.460 really is no difference of opinion amongst the old school parties on any of this. So maybe Trudeau

00:10:46.100 actually does have a mandate in that Tweedledee, Tweedledum and all the other think-alikes in the party

00:10:52.620 leadership. They're all on board with that. I was desperate for some good news last night, and I found

00:10:58.740 it in the little city of Peterborough, Ontario, which is quite a lovely city. And if you ever have the

00:11:04.800 chance, just go there. You'll be surprised what a lovely town it is. And I have to say my esteem for

00:11:11.640 Peterborough, which was always there. It reached new heights yesterday when they threw out Miriam

00:11:17.380 Monsef, the woman who just weeks ago, in a prepared script, this was not a gaffe. This was not her

00:11:23.980 extemporaneously riffing. She said the Taliban were her brothers. Remember this?

00:11:31.640 I want to take this opportunity to speak to our brothers, the Taliban. 0.95

00:11:38.160 We call on you to ensure the safe and secure passage of any individual in Afghanistan out of

00:11:47.960 the country. Yeah, that's just so gross. Remember, she, of course, was a liar who lied on her refugee 0.99

00:11:53.920 application, claiming she was from Afghanistan as opposed to Iran, which is the truth. Here's Bob 0.95

00:11:58.620 Fyfe asking her about that. And look at her lie. She's such a bad liar. 1.00

00:12:02.600 So you were born in Afghanistan, correct? 0.98

00:12:04.640 I believe I was.

00:12:05.700 Well, Trudeau didn't throw her out right then and there, which he should have done. But the good

00:12:09.500 people of Peterborough took care of that business last night, and I congratulate them. That's the

00:12:14.820 one shining light for me. On the other side of the country, in a lovely riding, again, I'm just,

00:12:20.860 if you've ever been to Vancouver, you've simply got to go to Granville Island, especially if you like

00:12:24.920 to snack, which rumor has it I do. The outgoing MP there, of course, was Jody Wilson-Raybould,

00:12:31.100 perhaps the most ethical MP of our age, someone who was the justice minister and gave it all up

00:12:36.660 because she wouldn't go along with Justin Trudeau's corrupt plans. Well, that riding,

00:12:43.020 given that Jody Wilson-Raybould was no longer running again, it was an open seat. And the

00:12:48.160 liberals ran a star candidate called Talib Nur-Muhammad. And it was revealed that he is a 0.61

00:12:54.940 schemer and a scammer who made his living speculating, buying properties and flipping them,

00:13:01.500 never taking possession of them, flipping them to families who desperately needed them. But he would

00:13:06.900 buy them up, flip them, and resell them at a higher price. He did this over 40 times. This,

00:13:14.260 even though that city was the center of Trudeau's plan to reduce housing costs, it scammers like this.

00:13:19.960 And I don't know if there was any criminality. I don't know if there was mortgage fraud involved.

00:13:23.260 Believe me, I think there should be an investigation because it's so irregular. Who

00:13:26.500 buys and sells 42 houses over the course of a couple of decades? But listen to this crooked

00:13:32.080 little liberal evading and fibbing and dodging and weaving when he was asked basic questions about 0.96

00:13:38.620 it. Look at this. How much have you profited on those 25 in the past decade? I mean, I'm not,

00:13:46.820 you know, I think it's important to talk about, I'm going to answer that question again,

00:13:51.700 how much have you profited personally or business-wise on the sales of those 25 properties in the last

00:14:14.520 decade? While I can't give you an exact number, what I can tell you is that it is by no means the

00:14:21.360 number that has been bid forward. But what I can also tell you is that I am absolutely committed to

00:14:25.320 any and all measures that we have put forward that would, that would apply.

00:14:30.800 Well, I sure wish Jody Wilson-Raybould had been running as an independent. I think she would have won.

00:14:35.740 Because Talib Nur-Muhammad, that crooked guy you saw there, is within 1% of the win all night. It was 0.99

00:14:44.120 between him and actually the local NDP candidate. And as of this morning, when I last checked the

00:14:49.860 count, I think there was one poll outstanding, Talib Nur-Muhammad, that crooked liberal, was ahead 0.99

00:14:54.760 by like 1%. I think it's close enough that there may be an automatic recount. But it's just quite

00:15:00.980 something if Talib Nur-Muhammad wins again for that riding Vancouver-Granville, wonderful place

00:15:05.200 to go from the most ethical MP in Canada, Jody Wilson-Raybould, to a confessed crook who

00:15:15.680 is brazen about it. Imagine switching such a polarity. I've got whiplash just thinking about it.

00:15:24.100 Now, as the polls were about to close, who were still open and voting in Western Canada was still open,

00:15:29.400 uh, Aaron O'Toole, his campaign bosses started spinning their defeat. As in, they had allowed

00:15:38.860 themselves to hope and to whisper to anyone who would listen that they had a real chance

00:15:43.760 of winning the election. They said that just a couple of weeks ago. And indeed, pollsters

00:15:47.780 seem to show that, had the election been called two weeks ago, O'Toole would have likely won

00:15:53.620 a minority government. Well, last night, you could see the campaign chairman, Waleed Solomon,

00:15:59.640 who is famous for working with that corrupt other Ontario politician, Patrick Brown, uh,

00:16:05.540 the short-lived leader of the provincial Conservative Party. Waleed Solomon told the Toronto Star,

00:16:10.900 before polls had closed, that no, no, no, uh, it's not going to be a blowout. And it's simply a win

00:16:17.280 to stop Trudeau from getting a majority. I mean, he basically was trying to spin his own disastrous

00:16:22.920 campaign. You can see the headline right here. About two weeks ago is when, uh, Aaron O'Toole

00:16:30.140 panicked. The liberals were coming at him with the old reliable accusations. You're going to ban

00:16:35.800 abortion. You're going to give every child a gun or whatever insane things they cooked up. 1.00

00:16:40.860 And the answer, of course, is to not to play that game, to choose your own controversies on purpose.

00:16:47.340 And O'Toole actually had one or two of those when he said he would raise Canada's flags again.

00:16:52.220 He would oppose tearing down statues. You know, that's a mild controversy, but it is controversial

00:16:57.840 in these days to say you'll stand by Canadian icons. But instead of choosing his controversy,

00:17:02.660 like saying, oh, I'm really against the concept of lockdowns. I think we have to move away from a

00:17:07.640 punishment approach. I think we have to respect civil liberties. Like you don't even have to go

00:17:12.320 full Ron DeSantis. Instead of choosing those controversies, he allowed himself to get bogged

00:17:18.180 down, especially on the firearms question. And he managed to confirm all of the suspicions in the

00:17:25.140 media by changing his platform on the fly in response to liberal and media demands that he

00:17:31.220 agree with the liberals on everything they have to say about guns, about firearms. And he did.

00:17:36.680 So he blinked. He showed weakness. He confirmed the accusations by basically agreeing to them.

00:17:42.960 And he demoralized his own party. I think that's the moment where O'Toole fell back. And of course,

00:17:48.660 it was just like his decision to fall back on carbon taxes, which he calls carbon levies.

00:17:53.880 I mean, the question is, if you are indistinguishable from the liberals, why wouldn't people just vote for

00:18:01.400 the liberals? They're better at being liberals? Now, one of the things that the polls generally

00:18:07.980 got right, but that I got wrong, was the PPC, the People's Party, led by Maxime Bernier.

00:18:14.100 There are a few outlier polls, a few rogue polls, especially ones done by Frank Graves of ECOS. And

00:18:20.120 I should have remembered that Frank Graves is a extremist partisan, really strange for a pollster,

00:18:26.460 or the Twitter wars he gets into. He's a bought and paid for liberal. In fact, he gives private

00:18:31.620 advice to the liberal party, which is so odd for a pollster to do. So when he said in his polls that

00:18:38.440 Maxime Bernier's party was at 10, 11, 12 percent, I allowed myself to think, well, maybe that's true.

00:18:43.740 I didn't discount it, realizing that ECOS is the least reliable pollster.

00:18:47.820 So when the Maxime Bernier vote came in, it was not 10 percent. It was more like 5 percent,

00:18:55.120 a little bit higher than that. And no doubt, that was a huge success to triple the party's support,

00:19:00.640 more than double the Green Party's support, and smashing any attempt by the Future Debates

00:19:06.840 Commission to keep out Maxime Bernier and the People's Party, though they'll rig the rules again.

00:19:11.020 So I was disappointed in the People's Party outcomes. There were some writings where they had

00:19:15.720 double digits, and there were definitely some writings when the People's Party clearly stopped

00:19:21.100 the Conservative Party from winning. Now, Aaron O'Toole, in the final weeks of the campaign,

00:19:25.540 condemned Maxime Bernier and the People's Party and said a vote for Bernier is actually a vote for

00:19:30.460 Trudeau. But that's not really true, because voters aren't owned by any party. They, especially

00:19:37.460 Maxime Bernier's supporters, tend to be policy-driven. They tend to be ideas-driven. They don't owe their

00:19:42.940 allegiance to some stranger named Aaron O'Toole, who they only just heard of, and who seems to sell

00:19:47.320 out on every issue. I think that if Aaron O'Toole had been warmer towards those disaffected people,

00:19:54.820 and talked more about the language of freedom, and even gently opposed lockdowns and vaccine

00:20:00.080 passports, I think he would have picked up one, two, three percent of those five percent that went

00:20:05.560 for Bernier. And I think he would have had a few more seats. More than that, he would have chosen his

00:20:10.360 own controversies, rather than letting the media party choose a controversy for him. But I have to

00:20:15.080 say, I think that Maxime Bernier has built a movement. Now, the locus, the place of that movement,

00:20:21.820 it's actually not in his own riding of Quebec. If you look in his riding of Beauce, Quebec,

00:20:26.640 he fell back. He wasn't even in contention. Maxime Bernier was the strongest in the prairies,

00:20:33.420 in Alberta, in Saskatchewan, and some Ontario ridings. I think that's interesting. I think he's built a

00:20:37.800 movement. We have a friend named Viva Frye. He's a YouTuber. His real name is David Frye. He's a

00:20:42.480 thoughtful law blogger. And he ran as a People's Party candidate. And of course, hundreds did.

00:20:48.180 And I think it transformed them into perpetual activists. I think Maxime Bernier really is

00:20:53.000 creating a movement. Whether or not he can turn that movement into a party is yet to be seen.

00:20:58.920 So what now? Well, I showed you that Justin Trudeau claims he has a mandate based on his 32 percent.

00:21:05.780 But I think he will act that way. I mean, he always has acted that way. Nothing stops him.

00:21:12.760 You heard him of what he likes about China's basic dictatorship. I think the greenhouse gases war on

00:21:19.100 fossil fuels absolutely will continue. There's a lot of lobbyist money behind that. And Trudeau is

00:21:24.480 nothing if not a globalist. But I think you're going to see the vaccine passports proceed with a 0.67

00:21:29.580 vengeance. And finally, I think you're going to see Trudeau's censorship come forward. And I want to

00:21:34.960 play for you a clip. And I've shown this to you several times, but it's worth watching many times.

00:21:40.340 You know the one I'm talking about. It's Alexa Lavoie asking Justin Trudeau a question,

00:21:45.840 and a legitimate question about immunity. If you get COVID and recover from it, your natural

00:21:52.980 immunity in various studies is many times stronger, according to Israeli studies, than vaccine

00:21:58.420 immunity. It was a legit question, great question, about the vaccine passport. But Trudeau,

00:22:02.700 his answer, which cheered the left. I'll talk about his answer in a second. Here, remember

00:22:09.300 this clip.

00:22:10.300 Thank you, Mr. Trudeau.

00:22:11.300 For Rebel News. So, Mr. Trudeau, I'm going to go back to what happened here. You have

00:22:17.080 diabolised l'un des rares médias qui ne reçoit pas d'argent du gouvernement. Vous

00:22:22.700 avez exprimé votre opinion en disant que nous propageons la désinformation. Si c'était

00:22:28.780 vrai et si c'était le cas, la Cour fédérale ne nous aurait pas permis d'être ici aujourd'hui.

00:22:33.960 Je suis moi-même scientifique et je me base sur les faits. Ma question est la suivante.

00:22:40.900 L'Israël est l'un des pays les plus vaccinés au monde. Ils sont rendus maintenant à leur

00:22:46.400 quatrième rappel de vaccin. Ils ne considèrent plus que ceux qui ont reçu deux doses de vaccin

00:22:51.380 sont pleinement vaccinés. Ma question est, plusieurs Canadiens ne désirent pas avoir un

00:23:02.400 rappel de vaccin. Allez-vous enlever leurs privilèges reliés au passeport vaccinal? Et

00:23:12.240 aurez-vous l'obligence de répondre à ma question en tant que premier ministre ou allez-vous

00:23:17.860 encore diaboliser mon média?

00:23:20.980 J'ai partagé ma perspective sur ton organisation hier soir. Je n'ai plus rien à dire.

00:23:27.020 Ça demande bien qui vous êtes. Merci.

00:23:28.680 So besides Trudeau not being able to handle strong women, and we know that, he sacked

00:23:35.200 Jodie Wilson-Raybould, he sacked Jane Philpott, he sacked Selina Chavannes. He's just not good

00:23:41.220 with women who have strong opinions. It's something he picked up from his father, who unfortunately

00:23:46.260 used to beat his mother. But Justin Trudeau, he showed not only that he wouldn't or couldn't

00:23:52.240 answer the substantive question, and he couldn't handle Alexa's question. But there was something

00:23:57.440 more important because we had just been allowed into that debate by order of the federal court.

00:24:05.660 Remember that Trudeau's handpicked debates commission had spent two years scheming and

00:24:09.840 strategizing legal ways to keep us out, but only us. And how do you possibly make a rule

00:24:15.800 that only keeps Rebel News out, but not all their liberal friends? There was really no way to do it

00:24:21.000 other than what I call a bill of attainder. That's an old-fashioned way of saying a law that applies

00:24:25.900 to one guy. They basically said, everyone's allowed in, including foreign press, including

00:24:31.500 state-owned foreign press, everyone's allowed in except Rebel News. Well, the federal court struck

00:24:37.560 that down quickly, and it was wonderful to have a judge from Newfoundland strike down that Ottawa

00:24:42.960 Old Boys Club. Seven lawyers on the government side, and we beat them. So there we are, Alexis

00:24:48.040 asking the question, and the context is, we were just ordered in there against Trudeau's wishes

00:24:54.460 by the federal court, and yet he says that he will not answer Alexa. And here's a little bit of his

00:25:01.300 answer earlier, when Tamara Ugolini asked him the same thing. And listen to how he says,

00:25:07.540 you are not journalists. So you saw the question from Alexa, and his answer is saying,

00:25:13.200 I've already said what I have to say to you. Here's Tamara's question and the answer to her.

00:25:18.360 I have a question from Tamara Ugolini from Rebel News.

00:25:24.380 Mr. Trudeau, the only reason that I'm allowed to ask you this question is because today the federal

00:25:30.500 court ruled that the government doesn't have the right to determine who is or is not a journalist.

00:25:36.140 This is the second election in a row that the court had to overturn your government.

00:25:40.620 Do you still insist on being able to make that decision, and why?

00:25:46.720 First of all, questions around accreditation were handled by the Press Gallery and the Consortium

00:25:53.160 of Networks, who have strong perspectives on quality journalism and the important information

00:26:00.320 that is shared with Canadians. The reality is, organizations like yours,

00:26:09.560 that continue to spread misinformation and disinformation on the science around vaccines,

00:26:17.900 around how we're going to actually get through this pandemic and be there for each other and keep

00:26:23.720 our kids safe, is part of why we're seeing such unfortunate anger and lack of understanding of

00:26:33.760 basic science. And quite frankly, your, I won't call it a media organization, your group of individuals

00:26:41.940 need to take accountability for some of the polarization that we're seeing in this country.

00:26:49.580 And I think Canadians are cluing into the fact that there is a really important decision we take

00:26:56.620 about the kind of country we want to see. And I salute all extraordinary, hardworking journalists

00:27:02.440 that put science and facts at the heart of what they do and ask me tough questions every day,

00:27:09.060 but make sure that they are educating and informing Canadians from a broad range of perspectives,

00:27:16.120 which is the last thing that you guys do.

00:27:19.060 So did you catch that? The federal court just said we were journalists. The federal court just said

00:27:27.200 we are as good as anyone else. And by the way, Trudeau was lying when he says we engage in

00:27:32.060 misinformation. We've never been tagged with misinformation by any fact checker, by any social

00:27:37.140 media company on the issues of vaccines and the pandemic. That's just a lie. In fact, Trudeau was

00:27:42.040 tagged during this campaign for media manipulation by Twitter. But it's not whether or not he's right and

00:27:46.480 wrong or wrong. We think he's wrong. He thinks he's right. That's fine. But his answer showed

00:27:52.060 that he doesn't care what the courts say. The ruling from the court was still hot off the presses.

00:28:00.600 The ink wasn't dry on it. We were journalists and we're to be accredited. And in the face of that,

00:28:05.560 he said, you are not even journalists. Well, the court just said we were. And you just showed you don't

00:28:11.900 care what the court says. Do you doubt such a man will bring in his censorship law against us?

00:28:19.060 And do you think that Erin O'Toole will stop him? If you do, let me remind you what Erin O'Toole's

00:28:26.220 handpicked critic for Heritage has to say. Here's Alain Reyes saying we need more censorship. Take a look at this.

00:28:32.180 But we don't see it in the bill. There's nothing in this bill that allows for the regulation of social

00:28:40.700 media or platforms like YouTube. And it's clear we would have liked to have seen this in the bill.

00:28:46.880 The minister even says we have to find a way of preventing hate speech, conspiracy theories and

00:28:55.400 fake news that's shared. But right now in the bill, unfortunately, we won't even be able to amend

00:29:03.060 it in that aspect. And because it's simply absent from the bill. So where does that leave us now,

00:29:08.420 the day after the election? Well, in many ways, it leaves us no different than we were before the

00:29:13.420 election. Although Trudeau's claiming a mandate, well, he would have claimed that anyways. But I think

00:29:18.400 he's going to move with great fury to bring in a national vaccine passport and a lockdown on those 0.96

00:29:25.880 who don't comply with his big pharma plan. I think he's going to spend the money that his advisors tell

00:29:33.480 him to on a green scheme and phasing out the oil signs. I think he absolutely will. And I think he's

00:29:40.340 going to come for the media he hates the most. That's us here at Rebel News. And we're going to find

00:29:45.720 them every step of the way. But we're not going to be distracted from our other mission, fighting

00:29:50.680 vaccine passports, which is now the largest civil liberties legal project that we've ever engaged. As

00:29:56.180 you know, our Fight the Fines project had over 2,000 clients that we helped. And we're still fighting

00:30:01.360 those. But fighting vaccine passports, although we won't have 2,000 individual cases, each battle we fight

00:30:08.740 could affect dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of people. I spent about half my day here at Rebel

00:30:15.080 News working on that fight vaccine passports question, assembling law firms or lawyers across

00:30:21.760 the country along with our other teammates. And I believe that that is the important work we must do

00:30:28.220 in the months ahead. Because if we don't, who's going to? Stay with us for more.

00:30:36.100 Welcome back. Well, a pundit who I follow religiously, I follow him on Twitter. I am a

00:30:54.180 subscriber to his SpencerFernando.com website is Spencer Fernando. And he joins us now via Skype

00:31:00.440 from Winnipeg. Great to see you. What do you make of last night? It's incredible to me that the

00:31:06.880 results were so similar to what they were in the last election, almost down to the exact number.

00:31:13.020 Yeah, obviously a huge waste of time and money, as I said on Twitter. And, you know, I mean, I guess,

00:31:18.960 you know, people can say, you know, it's good that Trudeau didn't get a majority. That's really the only

00:31:23.380 good thing we can say about the election. I mean, otherwise, it's he's still going to be the prime

00:31:27.420 minister, unfortunately. O'Toole certainly failed. Jagmeet Singh failed. You know, we saw what

00:31:32.900 happened to Annamie Paul. So I don't think anyone really has any, you know, reason to be too happy

00:31:37.600 about what happened. It's kind of a loss for everybody. Yeah, I thought the strangest comment

00:31:43.320 last night was from Justin Trudeau, who got about 32%, the lowest number of any winning party in

00:31:50.540 Canadian history. He had about a million and a half votes fewer this time than last time,

00:31:56.400 because voter turnout was was down. And he said, we have a clear mandate. And I just chuckled because

00:32:02.720 I thought, if this is a clear mandate, what, you know, I mean, what would it take for him to realize

00:32:09.340 he doesn't have a clear mandate? I think that he's going to do whatever he wants. He thought he could

00:32:14.480 grab a majority. He didn't. But I don't think this is going to change his plans. One iota. What do you

00:32:21.260 think? Well, yeah, I mean, you look at the liberals and NDP together, they have a majority of seats,

00:32:26.580 right? And the NDP, you know, I'm sure they're not not going to want an election for a while.

00:32:31.220 And Trudeau is going to give them everything they want. I mean, their agendas are pretty lined up,

00:32:34.800 especially given how far he's moved to the left and how Jagmeet Singh has really been willing to

00:32:39.440 support most of what Trudeau does. So yeah, sure, he doesn't technically have a majority,

00:32:43.740 but he's going to be able to pass whatever, you know, left-wing legislation he wants.

00:32:47.420 Yeah, I'm worried he's going to bring in that censorship legislation. I want to play for you

00:32:53.200 a clip from his victory speech last night, if you can call it that, because maybe this is just

00:32:59.520 generic outreach. When you win an election, you try and seem magnanimous in victory to those who

00:33:06.000 didn't vote for you. And in this case, the 68% of Canadians who did not vote for him. I wonder if

00:33:12.440 there's anything more in it, because of course, Trudeau has been demonizing people who are not

00:33:16.820 vaccinated. He implies that they're unclean and have to be punished. Take a listen to this clip

00:33:21.340 from Trudeau. And Spencer, my question for you is, is this just generic, hey, I'm the prime minister

00:33:27.360 for everyone? You know, is that just a generic statement, like a hallmark greeting card? Don't

00:33:34.660 read too much into it. Or does this imply that maybe he's going to be a little bit less antagonistic

00:33:40.980 to those who don't want the vax? Take a listen. And if you did not vote for us, I want you to know

00:33:47.160 that we will stand up for you and work for you every single day.

00:33:58.460 Because no matter how you voted, just like no matter where you come from, what language you speak,

00:34:05.320 the color of your skin, the way you pray, I hear you. I hear you when you say that we can only move

00:34:13.560 forward if no one is left behind. Our shared future is built vote by vote, door by door, and above all,

00:34:24.500 person by person.

00:34:27.920 Spencer, so he's talking about not leaving anyone behind, not discriminating based on the way you pray,

00:34:33.720 etc. I noticed he didn't, I mean, he listed some of the things that are protected in our chart of

00:34:38.260 rights, religion, race, gender, etc. I noticed he did not talk about medical status, about vaccination

00:34:44.640 status. So he's trying to be the healer, come together, leave no one else behind. He didn't

00:34:50.360 mention unvaxed people. What do you think? Do you think there's a deeper meaning there? Or are these

00:34:54.180 just cliches and I shouldn't read too much into it? Yeah, I mean, I think it's all really bullshit for 0.99

00:34:59.460 him at this point. We saw the kind of campaign he ran. I mean, look, the second he started to think 0.99

00:35:04.400 he was losing in the election, he ran the most us versus them demonizing, using a lot of rhetoric

00:35:09.340 we've actually seen that's quite dangerous throughout history, you know, to pit, you know,

00:35:13.260 part of the population against another. So of course, when he wins, it's easy to play the nice

00:35:17.460 guy when you're the winner, right? Everyone's happy. Oh, I already won. I'm still in power. So I'll be

00:35:21.120 nice today. But no, it doesn't mean anything to me. He's, he showed, you know, who he really was.

00:35:26.360 And that's a divisive person who will pick Canadians against each other for his own political

00:35:30.500 gain. And I don't think we should, you know, expect anything other than that.

00:35:34.780 Yeah. You know, I just recently rewatched the film American Psycho and the, the crazy talk

00:35:43.800 of the star of that movie, sociopathic, say anything to get through the moment really reminded

00:35:52.440 me of Justin Trudeau. And I'm not implying that he's a psychopath. I don't think he is, 0.92

00:35:56.460 but I think he is someone who is a manipulator and who will literally say anything in the moment

00:36:02.360 for temporary advantage. And I think last night he wanted to look prime ministerial,

00:36:07.800 but I think he's going to be as brutal as ever. And, and I think he's going to proceed on his

00:36:11.980 vaccine passports. I think he's going to proceed on the censorship. Let me switch gears. So Spencer,

00:36:15.860 I want to ask you about the conservative leader, Aaron O'Toole. There was a moment there in the

00:36:21.000 campaign where he looked like he might actually pick up seats. There was a moment where pretty

00:36:24.700 much all the polling suggested he would win a minority at, and there was a little bit of hope

00:36:31.580 there. I'm not sure why it didn't happen. I have my own theories, but here's what Aaron O'Toole said

00:36:36.640 in his, I'm not going to call it a victory speech, his, I don't know if you call it a concession speech,

00:36:42.700 but here's what he said. And, and I, I show you this language because this is the language he used

00:36:49.220 when he, uh, dedicated the party to a carbon tax over the wishes of the party membership that who

00:36:57.240 had just voted against it. You might recall there was a policy convention a few months ago,

00:37:01.460 uh, O'Toole wanted to have his, uh, liberal light carbon levy in there. The membership were against

00:37:09.400 it. And O'Toole said, I don't, I'm not going to listen to you and you guys have to change.

00:37:14.380 Listen to that language here again. We have shown ourselves to have the courage to be bold and to

00:37:21.380 have the courage to change. We must hold fast to that courage. We must show Canadians that we will

00:37:29.360 not waver in our commitment to growth. The courage to change. Now he talked a little bit earlier about

00:37:36.340 different racial and religious groups. Listen, the conservative party is as diverse as any party.

00:37:41.140 I don't think any serious critic, uh, doubts that. I mean, that's some bad faith CBC types who might

00:37:46.160 call the party racist. So I know he's not talking about having more diversity in the party. It's

00:37:52.100 very diverse. I think when he says the courage to change and, um, to keep growing, I think he means

00:38:01.060 to keep changing the party policy. So it's not quite as conservative. I think that's what that means.

00:38:07.200 I noticed he didn't throw a bone to PPC voters, many of whom had, you know, are refugees from the

00:38:13.260 conservative party. That's my take. What do you make of that comment by O'Toole?

00:38:18.460 Yeah, well, I mean, it's a good point you make about how diverse the party was. I mean, they had a

00:38:22.460 very diverse caucus under Harper, right? So the idea that diversity is a problem for them doesn't really

00:38:27.600 make sense. And, you know, the thing with O'Toole is he, he completely buys into the liberal worldview

00:38:33.540 and then wants to make a few tweaks. And I think that's, that's the big problem he has, right?

00:38:37.840 So he's constantly apologizing for the conservative party. He's constantly saying it needs to

00:38:41.740 change. He, he moves all the policy towards the liberals and towards the left. And he's obviously

00:38:47.600 going to keep doing that, right? So with the carbon tax, I mean, it's not courageous to betray a

00:38:52.120 promise, you know, and pledges you made to multiple people, multiple organizations, things you said in

00:38:57.060 the leadership race, betray your membership, you know, lie to people. There's nothing courageous

00:39:01.120 about that. It's just, it's opportunism and it's, you know, it's kind of politics at its worst.

00:39:06.300 So he's going to keep giving in to the liberals on every issue. And then, and then think that

00:39:11.400 works. It's funny though. He talks about the party needs to grow. I mean, they didn't grow at all

00:39:15.580 last night. They got exactly what they did under Andrew Scheer. Scheer was attacked for being

00:39:19.660 supposedly too conservative on some things, but I mean, did they do any better under O'Toole?

00:39:25.240 Did they win in Ontario where he said he could win? Did they win the votes of the people he,

00:39:29.160 I mean, his strategy was obviously to switch the votes, you know, to lose some right-wing votes

00:39:34.240 and then gain some centrist votes. That didn't work. They didn't do better in the GTA and they

00:39:38.540 didn't really improve anywhere. And in many ways, he may have made things worse because he's not only,

00:39:43.200 you know, lost the election, but he also has really validated the left-wing liberal worldview.

00:39:49.520 He's basically said, yeah, they're right about everything, but I don't like how they manage

00:39:53.220 their, you know, the government. So I'm going to manage it a little differently,

00:39:56.780 but I'm going to give in to them on basically every issue and play into their framing on every

00:40:01.120 issue. So that's not really a win by any means for them. And to say, oh, I held them to a minority.

00:40:06.220 I mean, a lot of organizations helped, you know, hold the liberals to a minority by pushing back

00:40:10.360 on their lies, but I don't think you can give the Conservative Party any credit for that.

00:40:15.300 Yeah. I think that one of the mistakes of Aaron O'Toole and the Conservatives is they not only

00:40:22.980 were going to try and swap some of their, quote, excess votes in the West where they were winning

00:40:28.100 super majorities. I think the theory was we don't need to win by 75% in Alberta. Let's just get 45%.

00:40:35.460 We'll win it. Even if we lose one or two seats, which they did yesterday, they lost another one

00:40:40.260 in Edmonton, another one in Calgary. Well, they'll make up for it by getting 10 in Ontario and who

00:40:46.580 wouldn't want that math. But that didn't really happen. And in fact, they sacked a few candidates

00:40:53.800 along the way for real cancel culture type moves. Like in Yukon, their candidate in Yukon came within

00:40:59.920 153 votes last time of winning. But because he expressed concern for civil liberties during the

00:41:05.640 lockdown, he was sacked. He ran as an independent. He didn't win. But the liberal won by default.

00:41:11.260 There were a number of ridings where either O'Toole sacked the candidate and that happened or the PPC

00:41:17.780 candidate probably shaved enough votes off. I remember when Stephen Harper took over the Conservative

00:41:23.180 Party almost 20 years ago and his first order of business was reunify it. Unify the dissident Reform

00:41:31.340 Party MPs. Unify with Peter McKay. I sense that Aaron O'Toole not only doesn't want to reunify with the

00:41:38.540 PPC voters, but he actually wouldn't mind throwing out a few more troublesome MPs like Cheryl Gallant, 1.00

00:41:45.500 who he got to cork it. Dave Yertega from Fort McMurray, he threw out. I just, I think he's got

00:41:51.720 that cancel culture vibe that is not inherently Conservative. What do you think?

00:41:56.840 Yeah, I mean, I'm seeing some people tweeting that, oh, we need to keep, you know, getting rid of,

00:42:00.980 it's not my language, their language, or the yahoos in the Conservative Party. That's what people, 1.00

00:42:05.720 some people have been saying. But then it's so hypocritical because I see some of those same

00:42:10.300 people saying, oh, the PPC costs us the election. Well, you don't get to insult people, you know,

00:42:14.800 call them extremists, push them out of your party, distance your party from them. And then when they

00:42:19.100 do the logical thing, which is vote for somebody else, since they're obviously not wanted in one

00:42:23.340 party, then you complain that they costed the election, right? It's the attitude of entitlement.

00:42:27.240 Oh, we're entitled to whatever vote we think is somewhat right or center right, but we also get to

00:42:31.920 insult you. And by the way, we're not actually going to give you any real policy changes or 0.61

00:42:35.740 anything you want, but you have to vote for us anyway, right? Because we're the only alternative.

00:42:39.900 So, I mean, I guess they're surprised that people voted for an alternative, but that's what is

00:42:45.480 inevitable.

00:42:46.460 I just wish the Conservatives had been 5% more pro-freedom and anti-lockdown. Not even going

00:42:52.740 full Ron DeSantis, but at least telegraph to voters out there. If you're concerned about civil

00:42:57.600 liberties, if you think the lockdown's gone too far, come to us, we'll moderately oppose it. You

00:43:02.480 don't have to be a full-blown, you know, freedom fighter, but just silence there. I think if O'Toole

00:43:07.820 had shown a little bit of magnanimity, and I'm not even saying towards Maxime Bernier personally,

00:43:12.460 but if he had just shown some magnanimity to the concerns of millions of Canadians, I think he would

00:43:17.700 have grown his vote, probably held the PPC at bay, and probably picked up at least a handful more

00:43:22.740 seats anyways. We'll have to see. It seems clear to me, though, even in the, not even 12 hours since

00:43:28.120 the results were finalized, pretty much. I don't know if there's an appetite within either the

00:43:33.620 Liberals or the Conservatives to change the leader. I know Chrystia Freeland and, of course, Mark Carney

00:43:38.620 and the Liberals want to be leader one day, but I don't think either are going to make a move,

00:43:42.840 and I don't see the same thing in the Conservatives. I don't see an appetite for throwing the leader

00:43:47.080 aboard. Do you?

00:43:47.720 Well, there's a lot of people on Twitter, certainly, who want O'Toole gone, and whether

00:43:53.160 that translates to actual party membership remains to be seen. You can never be certain

00:43:57.320 about what social media means, but I mean, it's going to be, I think there's going to be a real

00:44:01.260 fight. I'm sure there's a lot of NPs within the Conservative Party who have kind of chafed under

00:44:06.100 the very centralized rule that O'Toole's imposed, have been pretty angry at the fact that they're

00:44:11.440 being told to go out and sell a platform that they probably don't believe in. Probably watched

00:44:15.900 his speech last night and said, well, you didn't do any better than Andrew Scheer, but you keep

00:44:19.620 saying how your approach is a winning approach, and it looks like you're going to go even more

00:44:23.340 to the left, which, of course, will push more people to the PPC. So I expect there's going

00:44:27.760 to be a civil war within the Conservative Party and a real fight. You know, O'Toole's going

00:44:32.320 to fight to keep his job. I'm sure there's some people who are going to fight to try to,

00:44:35.680 you know, subtly, you know, get him out of there, and we'll see what happens.

00:44:38.540 Yeah, it'll be interesting, I tell you. These are very challenging days politically,

00:44:43.580 and I think our political system has failed us. We'll try and do our best journalistically,

00:44:48.620 and of course, we have our Civil Liberties Project, and I really appreciate your website,

00:44:51.860 SpencerFernando.com. Thanks for your time, Spencer. Look forward to talking again soon.

00:44:55.700 You're welcome. Have a good day.

00:44:57.420 Right on. There you have it. Spencer Fernando of the self-titled SpencerFernando.com.

00:45:02.900 Stay with us. More ahead.

00:45:08.540 Hello, my friends. Thanks for watching. We've been talking so much about Canada's election,

00:45:19.940 which is appropriate. But as you know, we have a very active team down under, led by Avi Yamini,

00:45:26.400 and we have a new reporter in Sydney, Mario Malik, and we have another reporter based in Brisbane. So

00:45:31.700 we're growing down there. We have a writer down under named Alexandra, not to be confused with

00:45:36.440 Alexander Lavois up here in Canada. So we have a team down under, and they're just doing amazing

00:45:42.380 work. So instead of reading letters today, I want to leave you with Avi Yamini's latest report.

00:45:47.900 It's an incredible report, and I showed you a teaser of it the other day, filmed by Rakhshan down there.

00:45:53.720 Here's the trade unionists of Melbourne, construction workers, saying, we will not comply.

00:46:01.940 One of them says, I'm sorry I'm a year late. I apologize for not standing by others, but I am

00:46:08.740 now. It's a touching video. It's incredible. Let me leave you with this. Here's Avi Yamini down under.

00:46:14.520 Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel News Network, good night, and keep fighting for

00:46:18.460 freedom like these lads are.

00:46:19.940 Now, one thing I've got to say is to the nation of Australia, as a union member, I'm so sorry that we

00:46:32.660 didn't stand up for all those shopkeepers and all those other people that have been trampled upon.

00:46:38.040 And I feel disgusted that we were allowed to work during that time. So I do apologize.

00:46:43.740 But let's stand up as a nation. This is bullshit what's going on, and don't be tricked by the 0.97

00:46:49.980 media, by the lies and the deceit. 0.99

00:46:52.380 So John Sector promised he'll be out within an hour. They gave him an hour and a half,

00:46:57.280 and then the crowd, the members said that time is up, and tried to storm the building.

00:47:03.600 What does it mean, time is up?

00:47:04.560 Time is up, man. We've waited long enough. We want to hear what the go is. We're sick and

00:47:08.960 tired of waiting. No more bullshit. 1.00

00:47:13.740 No, they're not stopping protests today? 0.99

00:47:17.320 I'm doing dealing with something else at the moment.

00:47:19.860 Okay, that's a bit weird. There's a protest there. A couple days ago, you guys smashed everyone

00:47:24.040 for it. But a few days ago, they didn't stand down like that. Why do you think that's the

00:47:27.920 case? Because they were happy to knock down 70-year-old women to the ground and spray them 1.00

00:47:32.500 in the face with pepper spray. That's why. 0.98

00:47:33.860 That's exactly right. And that poor woman, I don't know how she is now, but these guys won't

00:47:37.860 take shit. We're construction workers. We're not protesters, construction workers. We ain't 0.99

00:47:42.400 taking that. We won't put up with that. That could

00:47:44.480 be our mother, our grandmother. All right? Simple. People are losing everything they own,

00:47:50.040 mate. Police taking a very different tactic than we've seen over the weekend. Different

00:47:54.800 enforcement. G'day. Is there a reason for that? That day, I saw them chase a dad with a little

00:48:01.980 girl on his shoulders down the street for Richmond. Today, they look like they're wearing a Western 0.60

00:48:06.660 democracy or something. By now, at any other protest, I would have been pepper sprayed. And today,

00:48:11.140 I don't reckon even if the cops come and pepper spray, I am a midget amongst men. So then 0.58

00:48:16.420 the pepper spray ain't getting passed. Have you got your authorized CFMU media pass?

00:48:24.280 You know that there's no 70-year-old grandmas, yeah? There's no 70-year-old. So you reckon

00:48:28.460 you're right? I think we're right, yeah. 99% angry young men. Isn't that what they wanted?

00:48:32.460 Angry young men? No ladies to push around here. Even old fellas. 1.00

00:48:35.780 We're going to have to blow your face. We need angry young men, that's all. I'm an angry 0.99

00:48:40.460 young man, all right. What made you guys today say enough is enough? We're going to hold them

00:48:45.520 to account. They're stopping us from getting the car into our job unless we've got the jab.

00:48:49.300 People who, unless you're from regional, you know, they can't travel to metro, they can't go,

00:48:55.300 you know, vice versa. Regardless of jab status. We need to be mandatory 100% vaccinated to work

00:49:00.980 as of next week. Do politicians need to be vaccinated to be in parliament?

00:49:05.840 For our first COVID scare, right, we kept the building sites going, right? There was like four

00:49:10.560 sites that shut down for three days. They cleaned their joint and they got everyone back to work.

00:49:16.260 Why can't they do that now? No vaccine then either.

00:49:19.420 We should have hit these streets well over a year ago, mate. We should have locked the

00:49:22.160 fucking city down and we should have been marching. This second cunt is a fucking rat. 1.00

00:49:26.040 He sold every one of us out. All the rights that all our older union members work for, 1.00

00:49:29.860 they've all been taken away. We're just fighting for the right thing. At the end of the day,

00:49:33.260 they're obviously in the wrong, hence why they won't show their face.

00:49:36.440 Look at that. The boys in blue are here to take care of business.

00:49:42.080 What do you reckon? They're going to take you on?

00:49:43.440 No, right. That's what it is. Let us work. We just want to work and feed our families. 0.94

00:49:50.280 We've worked our arses off to get where we are, built our careers up and all of a sudden 0.98

00:49:54.760 we're going to lose fucking everything. We're all feeling very disappointed because we feel 0.97

00:49:58.480 like we're being sold out by our union. We've fought for these rights for that many years

00:50:03.520 and what? Within a couple of weeks, it's just been stripped of us.

00:50:07.380 Can the state of Victoria, normal Victorians, not those in the unions, can they rely on

00:50:12.940 you guys now?

00:50:13.800 Of course they can.

00:50:14.840 We don't want to take it anymore. That's it.

00:50:16.520 We still have hope if we all stand up together.

00:50:19.520 All right, ladies and gentlemen, I think he's made your point. Either we stay here or we

00:50:26.360 walk to parliament where the problem is. How about that?

00:50:28.540 The cops are blocked off the street. They're letting us alone. They're letting us talk to

00:50:39.600 our union. If we march the parliament, the cops will get involved. A hundred percent.

00:50:43.540 Lead the way! Lead the way! Lead the way! Lead the way! Lead the way! Lead the way!

00:50:48.600 Seven needs to lead the way.

00:50:50.100 So you're not willing to go alone?

00:50:51.540 What for? You've been there? All the protests? I've been there. They don't work. He's got

00:50:56.020 to march them all.

00:50:56.660 If this has been about the virus, why are all the government jobs being at a hundred percent

00:51:00.620 capacity every lockdown and every other job in Melbourne is 25 percent?

00:51:04.280 We stand for every single industry.

00:51:06.260 We are the last line. 0.99

00:51:07.140 This is bullshit. This shouldn't be happening. This is wrong. 0.99

00:51:10.220 Something is happening in Victoria that we haven't seen from the beginning of this pandemic.

00:51:14.720 It's all about those getting paid off and done a backdoor deal with Dan Andrews.

00:51:19.160 How much do you achieve, right, when we strive to get better wages, better conditions? 0.99

00:51:22.160 Fucking hell. Everything. 0.98

00:51:23.160 We've been with that fucking amenity. What do you think about it? 0.99

00:51:25.160 We've got shit, shit, shit. We've been raising us now. 1.00

00:51:28.160 If we shut the industry down, I guarantee you more than half will be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0.99

00:51:32.160 and then come paid week, they're going to say, fuck, what have we done? 0.99

00:51:35.160 Yeah, let's take it up. 0.99

00:51:38.160 If you come here and you show we're separate, that's no good, bro.

00:51:42.160 Then turn around and get all...

00:51:45.160 Tell him to get on Facebook now and tell all the boys to get here and let's band together.

00:51:49.160 We're a family. But we're not. We're divided.

00:51:52.160 When you're getting paid well, it keeps you in check.

00:51:54.160 So whilst you're getting the bacon, you just sit and eat, sit fat and you're happy, happy days.

00:52:00.160 But now they're saying that it's coming to an end.

00:52:02.160 So now people are starting to wake up and see what's happening.

00:52:04.160 So what's just happened is one of the protesters' union members has made a deal with the union bosses that he can go in and speak and represent the crowd. 0.99

00:52:15.160 Tell him to walk with us to follow me now, shit. 0.98

00:52:18.160 Yeah, no worries, mate. 0.99

00:52:19.160 We spoke to Johnny and Derek.

00:52:21.160 You may not believe it.

00:52:23.160 They're trying to give his answers.

00:52:25.160 When you get answers off the boys, he'll come and talk to us.

00:52:28.160 How long?

00:52:29.160 About an hour.

00:52:30.160 An hour.

00:52:31.160 One hour, boys.

00:52:32.160 One hour.

00:52:33.160 One hour.

00:52:34.160 One hour.

00:52:35.160 We'll get answers.

00:52:36.160 What do the socialists think of this?

00:52:38.160 I'm trying to work out, but can you give me a minute?

00:52:41.160 I'll give you a minute, but I want to hear what the socialists, how the socialists feel about the people.

00:52:45.160 You want to talk to a socialist spokesperson or to me.

00:52:47.160 I want to hear what the socialist journalist thinks.

00:52:50.160 The working class in Victoria has officially turned on the Labor government.

00:53:05.160 The protest has now turned on the CFU.

00:53:19.160 Youth someone!

00:53:22.160 Youth someone!

00:53:23.160 Youth someone!

00:53:24.160 Youth someone!

00:53:25.160 They health!

00:53:28.160 Oh! 0.60

00:53:58.160 U.S. Army! U.S. Army! U.S. Army!

00:54:28.160 They have now barricaded themselves in to protect themselves from the crowd.

00:54:33.160 The members that have said time is up while they've been standing outside.

00:54:38.160 That so-called leader has been on the radio calling them extremists,

00:54:42.160 which I believe is what was the catalyst for the violence just now.

00:54:48.160 The riot police are moving in now with guns.

00:54:53.160 They're coming out.

00:55:11.160 The union came out swinging at all the boys.

00:55:15.160 The boys didn't provoke them.

00:55:17.160 They walked out swinging, waited for the police to rock up, and then that was it.

00:55:21.160 They got one on the ground.

00:55:29.160 There's a full brawl going out here now between the union members and the union bosses.

00:55:35.160 Come out of the way, come out of the way.

00:55:37.160 When we started moving away, all the Vikings jumped out and started having a one-on-one.

00:55:41.160 They wanted to go.

00:55:42.160 But before the cops came, we were inside.

00:55:44.160 They didn't want to know anything about it.

00:55:46.160 It was wrong, mate. This is wrong.

00:55:51.160 Many of the members here say this is not how they wanted the day to end.

00:56:03.160 They were protesting here from 9am.

00:56:05.160 They were promised that the leader would come out and see them at, what was it, 3.30.

00:56:10.160 But at 4 o'clock, they said time is up and tried to storm it.

00:56:17.160 Now the riot police are here.

00:56:19.160 And through this whole day, police didn't engage the crowd, allowed them to do what they were doing.

00:56:23.160 It was obvious. It's still obvious. They don't want to engage them like they have with lockdown protesters that you've seen, where they tackle 70-year-old women.

00:56:33.160 No one's been arrested here.

00:56:35.160 These cops here, they should stay with the people. I've been in a line here. I've been. And I'm here. I've got a vaccination. I'm here for my kids. I'm not here for myself.

00:56:48.160 Were you a Labor voter?

00:56:49.160 Yeah, for Labor, yeah.

00:56:50.160 So, now, this is the working class. These are Labor voters. Now, not voting Daniel Andrews, are you?

00:56:55.160 No. No way. No. No. Not a chance.

00:56:59.160 Traditionally, you're all Labor voters. You voted for Daniel Andrews.

00:57:02.160 Not Daniel Andrews.

00:57:03.160 Not Daniel Andrews.

00:57:05.160 He was alright last year.

00:57:06.160 So, you're not voting him next year?

00:57:08.160 What are you telling me? The working class now has officially turned against the Labor Party?

00:57:13.160 Mate, I'm telling you right now, we've turned. You know why? Because they've turned their back on us.

00:57:17.160 You can see from all the people around here, not on the job. Give us five minutes, yeah, I'll be there.

00:57:23.160 We all pay thousands of dollars for him to stand up for our fucking rights. What's he done? Done a fucking bucklip on us. He's a fucking dog. 0.99

00:57:29.160 He's up there calling to 3AW while we're down there chanting. We're fucking calling him to come out and talk to us for hours. 1.00

00:57:33.160 And he's up there fucking talking to 3AW, calling us fucking extremists, rioters, not even part of the union. 1.00

00:57:40.160 The CFMU ticket, they're fucking burning it. Yeah, they send out, they want their thousand dollars again for the fucking 12 months, they can shove it up their ass. 1.00

00:57:46.160 I was asking the man two months, when they bring in the mandatory vaccinations, are you going to stand with the people? 0.99

00:57:52.160 He was like, I don't think that'll happen. Don't think that'll happen.

00:57:55.160 I said, I'm not asking you what you think. I'm asking when they bring in the mandatory vaccinations, what are you going to do about it?

00:58:00.160 I don't think that'll happen in my opinion. Here we are today. Enough said.

00:58:05.160 You guys should be ashamed of yourself. I love you.

00:58:10.160 I've got one serious question though. Which tradie are they going to get to fix their windows now?

00:58:16.160 Settle down. I'm just here on behalf of John Sector. They're looking for a tradie that's willing to fix the windows.

00:58:21.160 Not me mate, I'm an electrician.

00:58:25.160 Rebel news for the working class. You can get one of these at rebelstore.com.

00:58:30.160 100%.

00:58:31.160 I don't know.

00:58:32.160 Have a look in the laneway, they're all lining up for attention.

00:58:34.160 Are there copies?

00:58:35.160 All the replicates.

00:58:36.160 There guys are inside. 1.00

00:58:38.160 Our fucking reps are lining up for back shots. 1.00

00:58:40.160 So behind us you have the union reps. I've seen some of them arming themselves. 1.00

00:58:45.160 And you have the remainder of the union members that have come here. You can see them armed.

00:58:52.160 I think police are coming in to separate the crowds before this escalates.

00:59:02.160 Things are very tense here at the moment. 1.00

00:59:05.160 Fuck those cunts. 1.00

00:59:07.160 Fuck them. 1.00

00:59:08.160 Fuck them. 1.00

00:59:09.160 Salads. 1.00

00:59:10.160 Salads.

00:59:11.160 See Avi, what happened, they were still on the other line.

00:59:14.160 Right?

00:59:15.160 They were there.

00:59:16.160 We were all here because we've seen this.

00:59:17.160 Salads!

00:59:18.160 Salads!

00:59:24.160 They're now shooting the union reps.

00:59:27.160 Weep up.

00:59:29.160 Weep up.

00:59:31.160 Weep up.

00:59:32.160 The police are now deploying. 1.00

00:59:34.160 You're fucking need to shoot in the wrong wife! 1.00

00:59:39.160 Theenden. 1.00

00:59:55.960 Wow!

00:59:56.960 Woo! 0.99

00:59:57.960 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm getting shit thrown. 0.99

01:00:01.460 You guys get hit. 1.00

01:00:02.460 No, we'll just stay in there. 0.85

01:00:03.960 You happy now?

01:00:04.660 Yeah, we'll stay in there for a bit.

01:00:06.360 Thanks, mate.

01:00:07.160 Thank you.

01:00:07.960 I'll go that way because I'm a car.

01:00:11.360 I'm gone.

01:00:12.860 Go that way.

01:00:13.860 See you later.

01:00:14.660 Thank you.

01:00:15.860 What a day this was.

01:00:17.860 What started off as a very peaceful protest between union members to their bosses ended
