00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. I want to give you some philosophical thoughts on the
00:00:04.400 paramilitary occupation of the Grace Life Church outside of Edmonton. It really is
00:00:10.780 shocking when you think of it, occupying a church, setting up a paramilitary garrison there.
00:00:18.660 It really is the kind of thing you would see in a place like China or North Korea. I'll tell you
00:00:24.180 about the Canadian reaction to it, though. Let me invite you to become a subscriber first.

00:01:13.520 by the way. All right. Thanks. Here's today's podcast.
00:01:22.520 Tonight, government troops have occupied a church in Alberta. Where's the outcry? Even
00:01:37.560 from other churches. It's April 8th, and this is the Ezra LeVance Show.
00:01:43.400 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:47.140 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:51.200 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody
00:01:56.080 right to do so.
00:01:57.080 It's been more than a day now, and the Alberta government has solidified its physical occupation
00:02:07.600 of the Grace Life Church outside Edmonton. They've built a fence around it. They put a tarp up to block
00:02:15.680 people from seeing what they're actually doing. They've hired rent-a-cop mall cops. There are real
00:02:22.600 cops who have been there, too, and they brought in portable toilets to the site. Just stop for a
00:02:29.380 second. The government has physically taken over a church, evicted its pastor and all its congregants,
00:02:35.920 has occupied it with guns, and just to show what they think of any sacredness of the place,
00:02:42.000 they've brought toilets. They've moved in toilets to the church as if their metaphor needed to be any
00:02:49.360 more obvious. Of course, this is the same government that threw this same church as pastor
00:02:55.700 in prison for 35 days. Maximum security prison, no visits from his wife and kids. Say, when he was
00:03:02.480 in prison, the only religious leader that I know of who was imprisoned anywhere in the free world,
00:03:11.080 and to think it was happening in Canada, and to think it was happening in Alberta, and to think it was
00:03:15.700 happening under a conservative provincial government, and to think the premier of that conservative
00:03:19.180 provincial government is Jason Kenney. Atrocious, unthinkable, and yet there it is. But of course,
00:03:25.220 you wouldn't hear criticism of that from Kenney's own MLAs. They care more about their party loyalty
00:03:32.340 than they do about principles. Most politicians are that way, I guess. And of course, you wouldn't hear
00:03:36.960 criticism of the pastor in prison from the media party. They love the lockdowns, and they generally
00:03:42.160 don't like Christians much. But where were the other religious leaders, other Christians of any
00:03:47.800 denomination? Where was anyone, really? I didn't see it. Maybe I missed it. In fact, I've seen this
00:03:54.020 really, really gross article. A Jewish rabbi and a Muslim imam told the church to shut down.
00:04:04.060 Yeah, thanks for the solidarity, you government shills. I have enough friends who grew up in the former
00:04:09.240 Soviet Union, and who told me what it was like back there. One Jewish friend of mine told me that
00:04:14.220 the synagogue in his city was only allowed to open by the authorities if the rabbi at that synagogue agreed
00:04:23.120 to really be a KGB agent, to tell them who came to the synagogue. They said otherwise they would close
00:04:31.320 it down. So he was given a choice. Be a KGB informant on anyone who comes to the synagogue
00:04:38.340 or no synagogue allowed. How gross is that? It was a snitch culture, a zero-trust society.
00:04:46.000 I honestly don't know what the right ethical decision there would have been, but that was the
00:04:50.240 Soviet Union. We're not quite there yet here in Canada, but you have religious leaders volunteering
00:04:56.340 to line up to speak for the government to denounce the dissident church. How dare they operate?
00:05:04.420 I think it's extra gross that they were Jewish and Muslim groups telling Christians how to run
00:05:09.260 their church. Imagine if the shoe were on the other foot. But again, I didn't exactly see a lineup of
00:05:14.880 Christian leaders defending the church, did you? So gross. The only churches that are allowed to be
00:05:21.620 open and full are the cathedrals of commerce, the shopping malls, the Walmarts, the Costco's,
00:05:28.460 the liquor stores, the marijuana stores, you know, the important stuff, not like mere churches.
00:05:34.440 But my point is, that 35-day imprisonment of the pastor was a trial run, wasn't it? It was a test.
00:05:41.520 In 35 days, the government saw what it could get away with, and the answer is everything. And so,
00:05:47.520 of course, they went in military style, literally occupying the church, turning it into an armed
00:05:53.280 outpost, and they brought their toilets with them just to show the level of respect with which they
00:05:58.400 treat the church. So gross. And nothing. Did you see anything? I saw a statement yesterday by 15
00:06:06.960 government MLAs in Kenny's party saying they're opposed to the new increased lockdown that he imposed
00:06:13.180 on the province this week. Okay. Thanks for that. But not a mention of the church or religious
00:06:18.060 freedoms, either the pastor's imprisonment or the military style occupation. Why not a mention of
00:06:23.120 that? And more of the point, so they put out a Facebook post. Great. Let me give you a medal for
00:06:31.460 bravery. Are you actually going to do anything though? Or are you just sort of Facebook guys?
00:06:36.760 Are you going to submit a private members bill? Are you going to call for an emergency debate? Are you
00:06:42.240 going to vote against something, anything? Are you going to break away from the government and form
00:06:47.660 your own freedom caucus? I don't know. Are you going to stand, and I mean physically stand,
00:06:53.040 with, if not the church, one of the thousand small businesses being knifed in the back? Or is this
00:06:59.760 just slacktivism? Do you know that word? You did a tweet. You clicked like on Facebook. Now you can claim that
00:07:05.580 you're more than nothing. Yeah, no, that's a placebo, a fake medicine that fools you into thinking
00:07:12.040 you took real medicine. I see today that an MLA recorded a video about the church. Wow. I'll play
00:07:18.980 it for you now in full. I woke up this morning and saw the same thing everyone else did, that a church
00:07:24.840 outside Edmonton has been barricaded by AHS. Now, I think in a free and democratic society, worship
00:07:31.040 is fundamental freedom that we must maintain. I believe that as Canadians, as Albertans,
00:07:38.420 it is so intrinsic to who we are, whether you're a believer or not, the ability to choose for yourself
00:07:43.200 who you worship, how you worship, and where you worship. Now, I respect and understand the 15%
00:07:48.440 capacity limit. I'm frustrated by it. I brought it up in the legislature multiple times that we should
00:07:52.520 be lifting these numbers. But that said, it is a different line to cross, to barricade a church,
00:07:59.460 a place of God. Now, I'm not speaking here as a politician. I'm speaking as an Albertan and as
00:08:04.540 a Christian. And I believe that right now, fundamentally, we need to take a stand. We need
00:08:10.020 to say something. And here I am making the case that we cannot allow churches to be barricaded in our
00:08:16.840 society. If you agree with this, I'm asking you to share this video. I'm asking you to please let
00:08:23.140 others know that we cannot stand by and let churches and places of worship be treated in
00:08:28.860 this manner by AHS or any other government body. That's just my opinion. Thank you.
00:08:34.240 Great. I'm glad he did it. He's literally the only MLA in Alberta I have seen who spoke out for the
00:08:41.460 church. Sort of, that is. Did he call for the troops to leave there? Where was he when the pastor
00:08:48.080 was jailed? Why is he recording the video at the legislature? Why didn't he just drive 15 minutes
00:08:53.080 down to the church property itself? I'm not saying break into the church property. He's down on the road.
00:08:57.520 But why not? And what was the or else part? What was his plan? Or is the plan just to do a little
00:09:06.140 video, accept lots of kudos for being very, very brave and edgy, and then going back to sleep?
00:09:13.100 Hey, can I ask you a question? Can you name a single way in which the so-called conservative
00:09:16.960 party's treatment of this church is any different from how the NDP would have treated it were they in
00:09:22.380 office? Prison for the pastor? Armed occupation of the physical building? Toilets? Seriously, other
00:09:30.840 than dynamiting the church as the Taliban would do, what more could the NDP do that the Tories aren't
00:09:36.460 doing? In fact, it would probably be better if the NDP were in power now. They would do what the UCP
00:09:42.780 is doing. But at least then you'd find a few more so-called conservative MLAs in opposition,
00:09:47.500 feeling free to speak out against the lockdown, and maybe even pretending to care about a church.
00:09:54.380 They're all awful, aren't they? And they're all the same. Stay with us for a moment.
00:10:11.080 Welcome back. Well, sometimes here at Rebel News, we feel like we're so in the weeds on stories
00:10:16.720 that it's worth it to pull the camera back, as they say, to take a big picture view to see what's
00:10:22.760 going on. And I think this article by Spencer Fernando does that job in a good manner, in a
00:10:29.760 terrifying manner. The headline is, Canada no longer feels like a free country. And you can see this at
00:10:37.440 spencerfernando.com. And Spencer gives four recent developments in Canada that do, each one of them
00:10:46.020 are troubling. But when you put them all together, you start to worry, are we losing our freedom?
00:10:52.380 Police raiding the Grace Life Church in Alberta, the stay-at-home lockdown order in Ontario, the
00:10:58.260 former chief justice of the Supreme Court saying we have to take down, quote, hurtful words from the
00:11:04.400 internet. And our own reporter in Montreal, Yankee Pollack, being repeatedly stopped and fined
00:11:10.140 on the street just for doing journalism, even though he has an exemption. Joining us now via Skype from
00:11:15.960 Winnipeg is Spencer Fernando, author of this article. Spencer, great to see you. You know what? Each one
00:11:22.620 of these stories we're familiar with here at Rebel News, one of them, in fact, impacts our own reporter.
00:11:27.520 But when you look at them all together, and this is just one week's news, this is a terrifying trend.
00:11:35.000 Yeah, it's quite concerning. And I think the thing that disturbs me the most is to see how many people
00:11:39.760 cheer this on. I mean, you go on Twitter and you see people saying, oh, yeah, we need a full military
00:11:44.860 lockdown. Or when they see, you know, the church being shut down, this is great, punish them. There's
00:11:49.320 a lot of people cheering this on. And so I think it's easy for us to just say, oh, the politicians,
00:11:54.280 you know, they're corrupt or they're not listening to people. But, you know, there are a lot of people
00:11:58.420 who agree with them and who are pushing them to do this. And I think that's kind of the deeper
00:12:02.060 issue is, you know, how have we become a country where this is acceptable?
00:12:05.880 You know, I have a friend in Australia who asked me how any of this Grace Life Church
00:12:11.220 stuff was possible. And I tried to answer for an Australian, it would be like if someone came down
00:12:17.380 from Mars, let's say, and said, well, how do you explain this? And my attempt to explain it to her was that
00:12:22.940 normally you have different institutions in the establishment that sort of are a bit of a check
00:12:28.180 and balance on each other. You have the government, but you have the opposition. You have the media,
00:12:32.540 you have law professors and law courts, you have NGOs, like you have all these different sources of
00:12:38.160 power. But on these issues that you list, all these sources of power are working in harmony. They all
00:12:45.760 agree. There's no major source of power in our democracy that's worried about lockdowns, that
00:12:53.060 is worried about free speech, that's worried about heavy-handed policing, that's worried about church
00:12:59.860 churches being shut down. There's just no other power source. They're all in on this together. It's
00:13:05.220 a terrifying feeling.
00:13:07.420 Yeah, I mean, look at the way much of the establishment media has covered all this. They
00:13:10.920 basically go out and they look for, you know, violators, people who are breaking the so-called
00:13:16.220 rules. And then they try to go after those people. So they should be going after the government. They
00:13:20.860 should be saying, you know, what are you basing these rules on? Do your numbers line up? You know,
00:13:24.580 why, good example is Ontario. Why do you keep going back into lockdowns when Toronto's had one of the
00:13:29.760 strictest lockdowns in North America, if not the strictest, and it's still not working, obviously.
00:13:34.360 Why do you keep doing the same thing over and over again? But instead, it's just, no,
00:13:37.340 we'll just try to ostracize and make an example out of anyone who doesn't follow the rules. And so
00:13:43.180 that the adversarial nature of the media is being fully abandoned.
00:13:47.140 Yeah. You know, police brutality, to be honest with you, very, very candid here, it's not something
00:13:52.860 I really paid attention to in my life. And I'll be honest, I probably wouldn't have cared about it.
00:13:59.900 And if I had heard about it, I would have in the back of my mind thought, well, there must be another
00:14:04.180 side of the story. Police don't really do that. But over the past year, I've seen so many videos
00:14:10.460 of police, I'm going to call it brutality, very heavy handed approaches to people who do trivial
00:14:15.960 things like not wearing a mask or whatever. And then I see the police physically manhandling our own
00:14:21.800 people. So perhaps I'm criticizing myself for not caring more in the past, Spencer. But I now say,
00:14:29.900 well, where are all the liberals and the leftists who used to be, you know, hair trigger calling out
00:14:37.840 police brutality? They seem to be cheering police brutality. It's a weird dichotomy. I mean,
00:14:45.820 the police have never been more under scrutiny if it deals with, let's say, Black Lives Matter. Like
00:14:52.020 there, police are terrified to do anything. But against, you know, this Grace Life Church or reporters or
00:14:59.560 people not wearing masks, it's open season. And forget about the police for a second, but where's
00:15:04.680 the ACLU types? Where are the civil liberty types? Where's the reign in the police types? That's what's
00:15:10.000 so confusing. The left used to care about these things. Yeah, it's a good point. I think it's a
00:15:15.520 good point to mention that, you know, the right has often not been, and I include myself in this as
00:15:19.820 well, not been good on those issues, you know, kind of like you mentioned, your own kind of thought
00:15:23.860 process. And, you know, I tweeted a while back and actually got a surprisingly good response. I said,
00:15:29.380 I think a lot of people on the right are maybe now understanding how Indigenous people have felt,
00:15:33.340 you know, by heavy handed government action, the government telling them how to live and what to
00:15:37.160 do and kind of imposing on them. And so I think there is a bit of a, maybe you could say, convergence
00:15:41.740 of viewpoints on some of those issues. But I think one of the issues is that, you know, the kind of
00:15:46.980 the values of our society are starting to fade away. And what I mean by that is the commitment to,
00:15:51.460 you know, defending people's freedom. And the idea that you defend freedom for people,
00:15:56.380 regardless of whether you agree with it, right, it's not like, oh, I'm just going to defend freedom
00:16:00.340 for people I agree with. It's, I'm defending the concept of freedom, right? So if it's an Indigenous
00:16:05.200 person or a Black person being mistreated by police, then that's wrong. If it's, you know,
00:16:09.840 anti-lockdown group or anti-mask group, whether you agree with them or not, if they're getting
00:16:14.280 mistreated by police, or if it's just regular people, you know, just trying to go about their lives,
00:16:18.280 and journalists getting mistreated by police, all of that is supposed to be wrong.
00:16:21.300 It's not about agreeing with the ideology of any one group, but believing that people should be,
00:16:25.700 you know, free and should be respected. And so I think that's the bigger issue. And, you know,
00:16:30.260 a lot of these groups, I think, you know, they feel politicians have basically said,
00:16:34.660 these are the kinds of people you can target. You know, you can go after conservatives,
00:16:38.600 you can go after people who oppose lockdowns and oppose government restrictions. They're kind of an
00:16:42.420 easy target. And I think some police, of course, not all, there are many great police officers,
00:16:46.540 but some kind of take that as a cue and say, well, I guess we can,
00:16:49.220 we don't have to treat this group quite as well. And we can get away with it because no one's going
00:16:52.960 to hold us accountable.
00:16:53.620 Yeah, you know what, I think about, for example, the Grace Life Church, which is just incredible,
00:16:59.960 the police occupation, and it's a 24-7 thing. They brought in the porta-potties, they're not
00:17:05.600 leaving. And I think, imagine if that were done to a mosque. Now, there have been mosques in Canada
00:17:11.640 that have been credibly accused of being hotbeds for Islamic terrorism. For example, the Sunnah Wahhabi
00:17:19.180 mosque in Montreal, the Pentagon said that was a serious recruiting place for ISIS and Al-Qaeda.
00:17:28.940 So there are some, and there are some Sikh temples that are affiliated with extremism.
00:17:35.780 The idea that you would occupy a mosque, set up a 24-hour police occupation of it, wall it off,
00:17:45.200 and ban worshipers, if that were done to one of these mosques or Sikh temples that I just referred
00:17:51.320 to, you could only imagine the civil liberties, the legal, the judicial, the human rights response.
00:17:58.980 But just because, you know, folks go to church in the same numbers they go to Walmart, it's a shocking thing.
00:18:08.220 But the biggest shock is that, how many church leaders have you seen in Canada in the last 24 hours speak up?
00:18:15.980 I have, where's the head of the Catholic Church? Where are the senior bishops? Where's the cardinal?
00:18:21.120 Where's other evangelical leaders? Where are Jewish leaders? Where are Muslim and Sikh and Hindu leaders?
00:18:29.920 But mainly, where are the Christians? I see silence.
00:18:34.600 Yeah, there's a lot of people who seem, you know, too afraid to say anything at all.
00:18:38.280 It's quite sad to see. It kind of comes back to the point of it, right?
00:18:42.300 People, they only want to defend freedom for their own group, or even in some cases, not their own group.
00:18:46.860 You know, so many people, I think, have shown themselves that they'll just listen to what any politician or, you know, public health official tells them.
00:18:53.200 They're not going to question anything. And questioning those in power is supposed to be, you know, a bedrock of a democratic country, which Canada is supposed to be.
00:19:01.460 And that really seems to be fading away from the people.
00:19:04.300 You know, they're afraid and they're just going to let fear totally take them over and dominate what they do.
00:19:08.400 But, you know, I think the other issue is identity politics, right?
00:19:12.920 And this is why identity politics is really not compatible with a free and democratic country.
00:19:18.400 And the reason is you have to treat everyone equally under the law, right?
00:19:22.360 That's supposed to be the idea.
00:19:24.420 So, as you say, there's certainly political correctness in all this.
00:19:27.600 I mean, we saw that early on when they were saying everyone stay inside, don't gather at all.
00:19:32.160 And then there were some Black Lives Matter protests and they said, oh, you saw even public health officials say things like, oh, racism is just as big a threat as the virus.
00:19:42.460 So, wait a minute. You've been telling everyone to stay home, stay away from their families, let businesses be absolutely wiped out.
00:19:48.180 But now this one protest is OK because you happen to agree with it.
00:19:51.320 You're obviously not following the science. And I think that's that's kind of been the response for a long time.
00:19:56.200 Yeah. Well, I think that there are there's a conservative case, a liberal case, a public health case against the lockdowns.
00:20:05.360 I think there are reasonable, you know, it's a spectrum of of remedies and steps you can take around the world.
00:20:13.880 Different places have taken different steps.
00:20:16.800 Some very poor countries really have done nothing, by the way.
00:20:20.320 And I don't know how strong a correlation there is between lockdowns and health outcomes.
00:20:27.120 Here's a chart I have shown before.
00:20:29.660 This is North Dakota and South Dakota.
00:20:32.420 North Dakota had a bit of a lockdown.
00:20:34.500 South Dakota, in many ways, was the least locked down state in the union.
00:20:39.520 As you can see, absolutely identical infection rates.
00:20:45.280 Like it's it's as if I'm showing you the same graph twice.
00:20:48.020 I guess what I'm saying is there's more than one approach.
00:20:52.120 But why is it, Spencer, that in 10 provinces, three territories in the federal government,
00:20:57.640 I can't name one official opposition party, one conservative party that's taking sort of the South Dakota approach, the Texas approach, the Florida approach.
00:21:08.300 Even though the governors of those three states are very popular, why are Canadian conservative establishment types not expressing a dissident point of view?
00:21:20.120 Yeah, I think we're finding out that the Canadian conservative establishment is a lot more statist and pro-government than they leave their donors and members and supporters to believe.
00:21:30.640 Right. You know, they campaign limited government, you know, individual freedom.
00:21:34.640 We're going to get the government off your back.
00:21:36.440 You know, the government shouldn't be doing that much.
00:21:38.360 But we've seen them basically all respond in the same way during this crisis, which is the government's going to tell you when you can and can't open your business.
00:21:45.140 It's going to tell you where to go.
00:21:46.200 Well, it's going to use state power to punish you if you violate the rules.
00:21:49.420 The rules are going to be draconian.
00:21:51.060 We're going to demonize anyone who disagrees.
00:21:53.520 And so, yeah, I think a lot of people, you know, are finding out that, you know, we thought we were electing some conservative type people, but we really elected just statists who just happen to be putting the conservative label on their party for votes and donations.
00:22:05.720 So, you know, there's going to be obviously a reckoning, I think, within a lot of conservative parties as to what direction they go.
00:22:10.440 Well, maybe some will choose to keep going the status route, but I would hope that at least some, you know, choose to go the limited government pro-individual freedom route because, you know, even if you totally disagree with that personally, you should want a democratic country to have a wide spectrum of views and an actual debate in terms of values and what the country is supposed to stand for and how the country should be governed.
00:22:31.640 And right now there really isn't much of it.
00:22:33.500 It's just, you know, people slapping a different label on the same policies and pretending that they're different.
00:22:38.080 I think you're right.
00:22:40.200 And I think it's terrifying.
00:22:41.240 Spencer, it's great to catch up with you just one more time for viewers.
00:22:44.700 The article is called Canada No Longer Feels Like a Free Country.
00:22:49.360 We've been speaking with Spencer Fernando.
00:22:51.320 I encourage you to go to SpencerFernando.com, sign up for his emails, which I have done, and feel free to chip in a few bucks because like Rebel News, he does not take money from Justin Trudeau.
00:23:04.240 And I believe that's why he can be the independent and thoughtful man that he is.
00:23:08.080 Spencer, great to have you with us.
00:23:09.260 Thanks for your time.
00:23:11.220 You're welcome.
00:23:11.640 Take care.
00:23:12.060 You too.
00:23:12.980 All right.
00:23:13.480 Stay with us.
00:23:14.240 More ahead.
00:23:26.240 On my show last night, David writes,
00:23:28.160 Yeah, that's a great point.
00:23:34.620 I mean, look, I have studied the statistics in every single province in this country.
00:23:39.780 And it's like a bad flu season.
00:23:41.900 It's about double or triple the annual flu death toll.
00:23:45.680 And that's not good.
00:23:46.380 No one likes to die from any cause.
00:23:48.580 But it is an average age of 81 or 82.
00:23:52.600 No young people die from this.
00:23:54.220 And the risk for anyone under 60 is minimal.
00:23:57.660 So why are we locking down young people?
00:24:01.180 Why are we canceling schools and restaurants that are places of young people?
00:24:05.320 Why are we doing this?
00:24:06.720 There's no science behind it.
00:24:09.580 Wendy writes,
00:24:11.060 Less than 30 COVID-related deaths per day since early March in Canada.
00:24:15.120 We're still having crippling lockdowns, dehumanizing mask obedience,
00:24:18.520 and absurd charades like the RCMP closing off grace-like church.
00:24:21.460 Whoever thought this health emergency actually had anything to do with our health,
00:24:25.400 I see no correlation.
00:24:28.100 Well, as I pointed out to Spencer,
00:24:31.400 you have a very good experiment comparing the two Dakotas,
00:24:36.040 North Dakota, South Dakota.
00:24:37.440 They're near each other.
00:24:38.460 They're adjacent.
00:24:40.360 Similar in size.
00:24:41.520 Similar demographically.
00:24:43.400 There's a lot of great similarities between those two states.
00:24:47.040 One locked down.
00:24:48.780 The other didn't.
00:24:49.700 And the results are identical.
00:24:51.700 Doesn't that tell you what you need to know?
00:24:54.620 Bruce writes,
00:24:55.860 My MLA, who used to be a personal friend,
00:24:57.720 won't reply to my emails to his provincial office.
00:25:00.540 Guess who isn't going to get my vote in the next election?
00:25:03.200 Jason Kenney has been infected by the deep state.
00:25:06.280 Yeah, I really don't get it.
00:25:07.680 I just don't get it.
00:25:09.220 He literally was the most pro-religious freedom politician in the country a decade ago.
00:25:15.000 And he used to run the Taxpayers' Federation two decades ago.
00:25:20.520 So how did he become a creature of the bureaucratic deep state,
00:25:25.060 the public health deep state, the authoritarian deep state,
00:25:27.720 the anti-Christian deep state?
00:25:29.100 I do not know that.
00:25:30.700 But they must be laughing at him.
00:25:33.220 They're enjoying the lockdown, and they're enjoying crushing the church.
00:25:35.840 But imagine the extra glee they have that they're using Jason Kenney as the front man to do him,
00:25:42.540 destroying not just the church, but destroying Jason Kenney's reputation in the meantime.
00:25:47.760 That's our show for today.
00:25:48.840 Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters,
00:25:52.300 to you at home, good night, and keep fighting for freedom.
00:25:54.620 We'll be right back.
