00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. Today, I take you through a press release from a very excited little company
00:00:06.520 you might have heard of called Pfizer. They're actually not a little company at all. They're
00:00:11.820 monstrously large, and they have big plans for your children, children as young as six months
00:00:20.080 old. I'll take you through their press release, including their health warnings that I think
00:00:26.480 they're hoping you don't read, but they published them. That's next. Before I get to that, let me
00:00:31.140 invite you to become a Rebel News Plus subscriber. It's the video version of this podcast, so you get
00:00:35.520 all the other production elements, all the photos, all the video clips, all the charts and graphs, and

00:00:46.580 so. I think it's worth viewing. You also get Sheila Gunn-Reed's show, David Menzies' show, Andrew
00:00:54.980 Chapitro's show. But actually, there's another reason I'd like you to subscribe, and it's because

00:01:24.980 Tonight, great news for Pfizer. Their gene therapy vaccine is now for kids. It's April
00:01:42.260 1st, and no, this isn't an April Fool's Day joke.
00:01:44.760 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:50.700 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:54.740 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's
00:01:59.140 my bloody right to do so.
00:02:05.360 You know the coronavirus doesn't affect children, right? I mean, it's as close to zero as possible.
00:02:12.160 Here's the latest from Health Canada. 22,655 people in Canada have died from COVID-19 or
00:02:21.680 with COVID-19. That's important to remember. So 15,580 of those people are 80 years old plus.
00:02:31.540 You see that? Another 4,300 are 70 to 79 years old. See that? 1,772 are 60 to 69. So if you add that
00:02:41.160 all up, people 60 years old and older represent 96% of all COVID-19 deaths. And if you look at the
00:02:50.520 other end of the age spectrum, ages 0 to 19, you can see that according to Health Canada, they represent
00:02:56.420 0.0% 0.0% of the COVID deaths. It's actually a tiny bit higher than that. It's 0.03% because
00:03:08.280 they claim that six people out of the 22,655 deaths were under age 20. Now I've seen some reports about
00:03:18.760 those six unfortunate kids. And there's some doubt in my mind as to whether you can accurately
00:03:24.060 ascribe their deaths to the virus. Some of those kids had terrible underlying pre-existing
00:03:30.200 conditions. They were very sick to begin with. I'm very sorry for their passing, but you can see for
00:03:35.440 yourself, it is next to zero death toll for the kids. Almost zero. They say 0.0%. Even though people
00:03:44.680 under 20 years old make up 21% of Canada's population, according to Statistics Canada. So
00:03:50.640 people under 20 are about 1,000 times less likely to get sick than anyone else. I mean, that's why
00:03:59.740 kids just don't care about this anymore. They don't believe the hype anymore. Here's a scene from
00:04:03.780 Montreal. Our reporter Yankee Pollack covered the other day. It's springtime in Montreal now. It's nice
00:04:09.580 out now. Kids have been cooped up for a year now, just sitting at home, getting fat, watching Netflix,
00:04:15.020 staring at their phones. And a hundred or more kids decided to go to the park to say hello to each
00:04:20.740 other politely, listen to some music. There was no fighting. There was nothing bad. Just kids getting
00:04:26.860 outside, getting some fresh air, talking to other normal humans, maybe getting off their phone for a
00:04:34.540 moment, getting a social life back, being normal, healthy people again, stopping the fear. I think
00:04:40.220 it's the healthiest thing those kids have done in a year. My favorite or least favorite part of that
00:04:44.980 was when that one cop car pulled up and the lady cops start shouting at the kids on her loudspeaker, 1.00
00:04:51.920 threatening them with fines. And the kids absolutely ignored her. What was she going to do? Get out in the
00:04:58.600 car and chase some of them in some big game of tag and catch them? She actually threatened them with a
00:05:04.200 $1,500 fine. Is that even legal? I love that the kids ignored her. I hate that the police are
00:05:10.180 building a generation of children who disrespect and distrust the police, though. But that's the
00:05:14.400 fault of the police for doing foolish political errands, no common sense, instead of actually
00:05:20.020 protecting people and fighting crime. Those kids are not at risk of anything. To say otherwise is
00:05:26.540 junk science. There are about 8 million kids in Canada, and by that I mean people under 20.
00:05:32.740 8 million kids, 6 of them allegedly died from the virus. That is less than one in a million.
00:05:42.380 Anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to scare you, and you'll notice that my only sources for
00:05:47.900 data here are Government of Canada official sources. I acknowledge that 22,655 people have died from
00:05:55.920 this, and I'm sad about anyone's passing, so it's about double or triple the usual death toll from
00:06:02.300 the regular flu, except that it's almost uniquely an old person's disease. I'm not happy about anyone
00:06:09.400 getting it, but a year into it. Why are we shutting down young people and places for young people?
00:06:16.540 In whose possible interest is that? Who benefits? Cui bono, as they say in Latin.
00:06:23.540 Who wins here? Not parents, not the kids. Well, think, think, think. If we terrify and terrorize kids,
00:06:31.840 but then someone says, I have an idea. I can stop the terror for a hundred bucks a kid.
00:06:38.440 Well, maybe now we know who benefits from this. Well, let me read to you almost an entire press
00:06:44.540 release from Pfizer, one of the drug companies selling a vaccine. The other day, I read to you
00:06:51.900 from Pfizer's Investor Relations press conference, where they were super excited about having everybody
00:06:57.640 getting one dose, moving to everyone getting two doses. That's double the money for Pfizer,
00:07:04.440 and they were talking about getting everybody to have three doses. They're pretty excited over there
00:07:09.180 at Pfizer, but really, aren't they ignoring a huge part of the market by not selling to kids?
00:07:16.580 I mean, McDonald's has Happy Meals with a kid's toy in them. McDonald's even has little playgrounds
00:07:24.020 right in some of their restaurants. Maybe Pfizer can do something like that. Get the kids excited
00:07:29.460 about it. You know, Krispy Kreme says you get free donuts if you get the jab. Apparently, that's the
00:07:36.880 public health solution we're all looking for, more donuts. Lock down the gyms. Ban kids' sports,
00:07:43.360 but free donuts for all. But let me read to you in full, or almost in full, I'll skip some boring
00:07:48.900 parts from a Pfizer press release just yesterday. I'm going to read extensively from it. I promise
00:07:57.100 you won't see this anywhere else, certainly not in the media party. Here's the headline.
00:08:02.980 Pfizer BioNTech announced positive top-line results of pivotal COVID-19 vaccine study in
00:08:09.980 adolescents, March 31st, 2021. And then they have these sub-headlines.
00:08:15.620 In participants aged 12 to 15 years old, BNT162b2, that's the name of their vaccine,
00:08:23.940 demonstrated 100% efficacy and robust antibody responses, exceeding those reported in trial
00:08:31.100 of vaccinated 16 to 25-year-old participants in an earlier analysis and was well-tolerated.
00:08:38.400 The companies plan to submit these data to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
00:08:42.020 and the European Medicines Agency as soon as possible to request expansion of the emergency
00:08:49.480 use authorization and EU conditional marketing authorization for the vaccine. The companies
00:08:56.920 also provided an update on the phase 1-2-3 study in children aged 6 months to 11 years.
00:09:04.400 Hey guys, our vaccine is 100% effective in kids. Yeah, we know because kids' immune systems are
00:09:14.120 pretty much 100% effective. They may get the coronavirus, but it won't be serious and they
00:09:21.400 won't die from it. At least 99.98% of them will be just fine. But I'm just blown away by the fact that
00:09:30.800 they're testing this emergency medicine for a disease that is an old person's disease,
00:09:37.180 they're testing it on children 12 to 15 years old and they have started testing children of tender
00:09:44.480 years as young as 6 months old. What kind of parent tests a gene therapy drug? That's how it's described
00:09:54.080 in the science. A gene therapy drug on a healthy baby. Six months old baby. That baby's still nursing.
00:10:01.620 That baby can't speak. That baby communicates in part by crying. Okay, so, I mean, is this baby crying
00:10:08.720 because all babies cry or is this baby crying because you're testing a radical new emergency medicine
00:10:13.740 on a baby? Who the hell would let their child be used as a lab rat in such an experiment? In college,
00:10:21.380 I had a buddy who was always really short of money and desperate and he signed up for a medical
00:10:26.200 experiment. And he told me what it was like basically hanging out all day with other people
00:10:31.580 who were desperate for cash, smoking cigarettes and playing pool and board games. And he made that
00:10:37.540 money. But it was just him, an adult, a single guy who needed cash. He made his decision for himself.
00:10:44.300 But how desperate for cash do you need to be to let a pharmaceutical company test their
00:10:51.040 experimental vaccine on your six-month-old baby for a disease that is a worry for people over 80
00:10:59.000 years old? Is that even ethical to do that to a baby? Here, I'll read more. It's a press release.
00:11:05.940 New York and Minds Germany, Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech today announced that in a phase three trial in
00:11:11.940 adolescence 12 to 15 years of age with or without prior evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection,
00:11:18.680 the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, BNT162B2, demonstrated 100% efficacy in robust antibody
00:11:26.080 responses exceeding those recorded earlier in vaccinated participants aged 16 to 25 years old
00:11:32.160 and was well-tolerated. These are top-line results from a pivotal phase three trial in 2,260 adolescents.
00:11:39.800 Quote,
00:11:41.540 We share the urgency to expand the authorization of our vaccine to use in younger populations
00:11:48.580 and are encouraged by the clinical trial data from adolescents between the ages of 12 and 15,
00:11:54.380 said Albert Bourla, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Pfizer.
00:11:58.000 We plan to submit these data to FDA as a proposed amendment to our emergency use authorization in
00:12:03.940 the coming weeks and to other regulators around the world with the hope of starting to vaccinate
00:12:08.480 this age group before the start of the next school year, unquote. There you go. They're in a real rush,
00:12:14.180 aren't they? Wow. They want to vaccinate your children before the next school year. That's just a few
00:12:18.780 months away. They've got a lot of money to make people. Hurry up and approve this FDA. You could almost hear
00:12:24.800 him salivate. You could almost hear the ka-ching in his mind. Here, I'll read more. 1.00
00:12:30.320 Across the globe, we are longing for a normal life. This is especially true for our children.
00:12:36.680 The initial results we have seen in the adolescent studies suggest that children are particularly well
00:12:41.840 protected by vaccination, which is very encouraging given the trends we've seen in recent weeks
00:12:46.840 regarding the spread of the B.1.1.7 UK variant. It is very important to enable them to get back to
00:12:52.920 everyday school life and to meet friends and family while protecting them and their loved ones,
00:12:58.220 said Yuger Sahin, CEO and co-founder of Biontech. Really? I actually read their investor presentation
00:13:06.260 the other day. They're pretty eager to not have things go back to normal. They're pretty eager to
00:13:13.180 have a third shot requirement. They're pretty eager to extend this emergency as long as possible.
00:13:18.880 It's true that kids want to get back to normal life, but face mask theater and lockdowns and
00:13:24.820 unnecessary vaccines, that is not normal life. And hey, Pfizer executives, why don't you test this
00:13:32.680 drug on your kids first, not on mine? I'm going to read a paragraph with some jargon in it,
00:13:40.320 but I think it's still understandable. About the phase three data from adolescents 12 to 15 years
00:13:45.780 of age, the trial enrolled 2,260 adolescents 12 to 15 years of age in the United States.
00:13:53.840 In the trial, 18 cases of COVID-19 were observed in the placebo group, 1,129 people, versus none in
00:14:02.680 the vaccinated group, 1,131 people. Vaccination with BNT-162b2, that's the vaccine, elicited coronavirus
00:14:11.420 neutralizing antibody geometric mean titers of 1,239, 1,239.5, demonstrating strong immunogenicity
00:14:22.960 in a subset of adolescents one month after the second dose. Sorry for the jargon, I'm almost through it.
00:14:28.680 This compares well, was non-inferior to GMTs elicited by participants aged 16 to 25 years old
00:14:37.100 in an earlier analysis. Further, the vaccine administration was well tolerated with side
00:14:42.540 effects generally consistent with those observed in participants 16 to 25 years of age. Okay, I'm
00:14:47.300 through it. So if you missed that, they give the shot to 1,131 kids, and they didn't give the shot
00:14:54.420 to 1,129 kids. But that second group, they didn't tell which kids got the vaccine or the placebo.
00:15:02.080 So for some of these kids, they pretended it was a vaccine, but it was nothing. And the 18
00:15:06.780 placebo kids had a case of the virus and none in the vaccine group. But what's a case of COVID-19? 0.75
00:15:15.080 I take it no one died in this study. Did anyone even get sick? Or was it just a case? What's a case?
00:15:24.540 Is a case of false positive like this? If you test somebody today, you only know if they're infected
00:15:32.560 today. And in fact, if you're testing in a population that doesn't have very much COVID,
00:15:39.780 you'll get false positives almost half the time. That is, the person actually doesn't have COVID,
00:15:45.940 they have something else, they may have nothing.
00:15:47.640 So we're about to give kids by the millions a vaccine so they don't make a test result positive?
00:15:56.000 Not to protect their health, really. Not to stop them from dying, because they're not dying.
00:16:01.480 But to stop cases? I'll read some more. The company's plan to submit these data to the FDA and EMA
00:16:08.000 for a requested amendment to the Emergency Use Authorization of the virus and the EU Conditional
00:16:13.280 Marketing Authorization to expand use in adolescents 12 to 15 years of age as quickly as possible.
00:16:20.840 All participants in the trial will continue to be monitored for long-term protection and safety
00:16:26.520 for an additional two years after their second dose. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
00:16:34.840 So you say you want to get this into kids' arms as soon as possible, before the next school year,
00:16:39.720 but you just said you need to keep looking at these kids for at least two more years before you know
00:16:46.620 that they're safe, because you just injected them with it, and it might have a long-term effect.
00:16:52.000 You need two more years before you're sure, but you want to start giving this vaccine to my kids 0.66
00:16:57.500 as quickly as possible? And get this, Pfizer and BioNTech plan to submit the data for
00:17:04.720 scientific peer review for potential publication. You haven't done that yet? So you haven't had
00:17:13.000 your work peer reviewed yet? You haven't had other people check your work yet? I mean, other than
00:17:17.560 Pfizer business executives who are pretty excited that they can add a new kids' Happy Meal product line.
00:17:24.480 But look at this. Update on the Phase 1-2-3 study in children six months to 11 years old.
00:17:30.340 Last week, Pfizer and BioNTech dosed the first healthy children in a global Phase 1-2-3
00:17:35.820 seamless study to further evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of the Pfizer-BioNTech
00:17:43.520 COVID-19 vaccine in children six months to 11 years of age. The study is evaluating the safety,
00:17:49.200 tolerability, and immunogenicity of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine on a two-dose schedule
00:17:54.760 approximately 21 days apart in three age groups, children aged 5 to 11, 2 to 5, and 6 months to
00:18:02.020 two years. The 5 to 11-year-old cohort started dosing last week, and the companies plan to
00:18:09.040 initiate the 2 to 5-year-old cohort next week. This is unreal. They never want this to stop, do they?
00:18:17.340 They want what Bill Gates said he wanted. Every human to be injected. Children, pregnant moms, 1.00
00:18:26.500 malnourished people, sick people, whatever, everyone. One big, enormous market. There's
00:18:31.580 billions of dollars out there, folks. You know, there may actually be a legal emergency, as in
00:18:37.620 some official has declared a state of emergency, but I'm not so sure there's an actual pandemic
00:18:43.940 emergency anymore. COVID deaths aren't a significant reason why people die. Take a look at this. This
00:18:50.600 is, again, StatisticsCam. There's a chart from StatsCam counting the number of deaths in every
00:18:56.140 single province every single week. I'm going to choose Ontario just because it's the biggest province,
00:19:00.920 just as an example. It's really the same for every province. I'll pick the most recent week
00:19:07.540 they report for Ontario, which is November 8th, 2020. You'll see in that one week, 2,240 people
00:19:14.840 died in Ontario. And I'm sorry that they died, but people die. They didn't die from COVID, though,
00:19:23.460 at least not most of them. 325 died from cancer, 225 from a heart disease, 60 from a stroke, 45 from
00:19:33.020 lung disease, 40 from accidents. You can see that 90 are listed as COVID deaths, which means they died
00:19:40.700 from or with COVID. And then you see 925 from other causes, and we could drill down into those.
00:19:48.760 Those would include a number of other diseases and suicide. But here's my point. Out of 2,240 deaths
00:19:57.180 in Ontario that one week, 4% of the deaths were deaths from someone that had COVID. 4%. 96% of the
00:20:05.420 people who died in Ontario, nothing to do with COVID. I'd like to know how many suicides and drug
00:20:10.980 overdoses came from the secondary effect of the COVID lockdowns, depression, unemployment. Oh, by the way,
00:20:18.900 just to tell you, no children have died ever from COVID in Ontario. But Pfizer says it's an emergency,
00:20:28.660 at least their shareholders think so. I'll read more. The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine has not
00:20:35.620 been approved or licensed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but has been authorized for
00:20:40.140 emergency use by FDA under an emergency use authorization to prevent coronavirus disease
00:20:46.340 for use in individuals 16 years of age and older. The emergency use of this product is only
00:20:51.820 authorized for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist, justifying the authorization
00:20:57.480 of emergency use of the medical product under Section 564B1 of the FD&C Act, unless the declaration
00:21:04.140 is terminated or authorization revoked sooner. Please see the emergency use authorization fact sheet
00:21:09.840 for healthcare providers administering the vaccine, blah, blah, blah. So they're just giving you a
00:21:15.020 little bit of the legal background, but they're saying this has not been approved other than on
00:21:19.320 an emergency basis. Then in the press release, there's some corporate bragging, which I'm not
00:21:25.140 going to read. I'll skip it over. But I want to read to you what they put at the very bottom of their
00:21:30.880 press release. You're almost at the bottom. I think their lawyers told them to put this in there.
00:21:35.440 It's the warnings. It's the side effects. And it is quite a read. Tell me if you've seen this anywhere
00:21:44.340 else in the media, okay? Important safety information from US FDA emergency use authorization
00:21:50.380 prescribing information. Do not administer Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine to individuals with
00:21:57.960 known history of a severe allergic reaction, e.g. anaphylaxis, to any component of the Pfizer-COVID-19 vaccine.
00:22:06.420 Appropriate medical treatment used to manage immediate allergic reactions must be immediately
00:22:12.740 available in the event an acute anaphylactic reaction occurs following administration of the
00:22:18.220 vaccine. So don't give this to anyone who has allergic reactions. And if you give it to anyone,
00:22:23.340 have emergency allergy responses nearby, guys, okay? Monitor Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine recipients
00:22:31.400 for the occurrence of immediate adverse reactions according to the Centers for Disease Control
00:22:36.820 Provincial Guidelines. Immunocompromised persons, including individuals receiving immunosuppressant
00:22:44.220 therapy, may have a diminished immune response to the vaccine. The vaccine may not protect
00:22:51.060 all vaccine recipients. Okay. Hey, but kids, it's really great. Like a Happy Meal, you can even get
00:22:58.240 a toy with it. Now read this. This is the crazy part. In clinical studies, adverse reactions in participants
00:23:09.300 16 years of age and older included pain at the injection site, 84%, fatigue, 63%, headache, 55%,
00:23:23.560 muscle pain, 38%, chills, 32%, joint pain, 24%, fever, 14%, injection site swelling, 10.5%, injection site redness,
00:23:37.620 9.5%, nausea, malaise, and lymphadenopathy. Can you imagine voluntarily giving this to your healthy
00:23:50.000 child? And as I just showed you, they are still monitoring their human guinea pigs for two more
00:23:58.980 years. They don't know what's going to happen to those kids in 6, 12, 18, 24 months in five years. I'll read
00:24:06.400 just a little bit more. Severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported following the
00:24:12.640 Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine during mass vaccination outside of clinical trials. Additional adverse reactions,
00:24:18.780 some of which may be serious, may become apparent with more widespread use of the Pfizer vaccine.
00:24:24.600 You don't say. So we're actually part of the experiment, aren't we? Available data on the vaccine
00:24:31.480 administered to pregnant women are insufficient to inform vaccine-associated risks in pregnancy.
00:24:37.660 Imagine being so desperate for cash that you would let them test it on you when you had a baby in your
00:24:44.440 womb. Imagine how desperate a woman must be to take cash from Pfizer to do that to her baby. 1.00
00:24:56.120 Data are not available to assess the effects of Pfizer vaccine on the breastfed infant or milk
00:25:01.840 production excretion. Oh, you're part of the experiment, guys. And by the way, there's no research on
00:25:10.080 mixing and matching vaccines. There are no data available on the interchangeability of the
00:25:17.120 Pfizer vaccine with other vaccines to complete the vaccination series. Individuals who have received
00:25:23.940 one dose of Pfizer vaccine should receive a second dose of Pfizer vaccine to complete the vaccination
00:25:29.840 series. But we know they want a third dose. Vaccination providers must report adverse events
00:25:37.100 in accordance with the fact sheet. The report should include the words Pfizer-BioNTech-COVID-19
00:25:45.360 vaccine EUA in the description selection report. As we showed you yesterday, there have been more
00:25:51.380 adverse reactions in the past year to vaccines than the past decade combined. So yeah, great news,
00:25:57.900 guys. The vaccine is now ready for your kids. And if you don't sign up your kids for these vaccines,
00:26:05.080 no school, no sports, no summer camp, no shopping, no restaurants, no travel, no visiting other
00:26:13.420 kids. This is absolutely for your health, you see. Absolutely doesn't have anything to do with
00:26:19.920 enriching and empowering the public health industrial complex. No. Wait, you're worried about your kids?
00:26:26.780 You don't want this vaccine? What are you, some, some sort of monster? Stay with us for now.
00:26:32.920 Hey, what's going on?
00:26:40.380 Hey, hey, what's going on? Are you driving me? Don't fight back! Don't fight back!
00:26:44.840 Hey, hey, what's going on?
00:26:51.840 Hey, hey, what's going on?
00:26:53.840 Are you talking to me?
00:26:54.840 Don't fight back! Don't fight back!
00:26:57.840 I am a grand-mother, an arrière-grand-mère,
00:27:00.840 and I would not let a government
00:27:03.840 for abusive measures
00:27:05.840 of a virus
00:27:07.840 that does not kill more than the grippe.
00:27:10.840 I don't revolve you.
00:27:12.840 What's up?
00:27:14.840 This is like...
00:27:15.840 We're documenting what's happening here, guys.
00:27:17.840 I know, I know, Yankee. 0.75
00:27:18.840 So why are we getting such a tough time?
00:27:20.840 We've been through this so many times with you guys.
00:27:22.840 Why is he being arrested?
00:27:24.840 You just told us you were in the protest.
00:27:25.840 You're going to come with us.
00:27:26.840 Okay.
00:27:27.840 We'll understand now.
00:27:29.840 Why is he being arrested?
00:27:31.840 He's not talking to the president.
00:27:32.840 Go ahead.
00:27:33.840 I'm documenting the protest.
00:27:35.840 Hey, two, three! 0.99
00:27:37.840 I need to hold my camera, man.
00:27:39.840 Hey, what's going on? I need to hold my camera.
00:27:41.840 Hey! 0.99
00:27:42.840 What the f*** is your problem?
00:27:44.840 Okay, take it easy, buddy.
00:27:46.840 What do you mean you f***ing smashing my camera?
00:27:48.840 Why don't you...
00:27:50.840 Why don't you use your guns and go after criminals?
00:27:56.840 I don't listen to you.
00:27:57.840 Come arrest me.
00:27:58.840 Come arrest me.
00:27:59.840 Go ahead.
00:28:00.840 Come.
00:28:01.840 I don't obey you.
00:28:02.840 Go ahead.
00:28:03.840 Come.
00:28:04.840 Okay.
00:28:05.840 Let's go.
00:28:06.840 Go ahead.
00:28:07.840 Go.
00:28:08.840 Okay.
00:28:09.840 Arrest me.
00:28:10.840 Go.
00:28:11.840 Let's go.
00:28:12.840 Here.
00:28:13.840 Okay.
00:28:14.840 I told you guys.
00:28:15.840 I was right.
00:28:16.840 The collective forces of this nation is perverted.
00:28:18.840 It's corrupted.
00:28:19.840 They are thugs wearing badges.
00:28:21.840 That's all they are.
00:28:22.840 Turn off your camera.
00:28:23.840 No, thanks.
00:28:24.840 Okay.
00:28:25.840 Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:28:26.840 It's okay.
00:28:27.840 I'm media.
00:28:28.840 I'm media.
00:28:29.840 I'm media.
00:28:30.840 I'm media.
00:28:31.840 I'm media.
00:28:32.840 I'm media.
00:28:33.840 Sure.
00:28:34.840 Why are you putting your hands on me?
00:28:35.840 Why are you putting your hands on me?
00:28:37.840 You're not allowed to manhandle somebody.
00:28:39.840 You're not allowed to manhandle somebody.
00:28:40.840 Why are you putting your hands on me?
00:28:42.840 That is footage from Montreal where our team was on the ground documenting what I think
00:28:48.840 is the strictest lockdown in Canada.
00:28:51.840 For months I thought that dishonor belonged to Toronto.
00:28:54.840 But not only does Montreal have a regular lockdown, they have a curfew at night treating adults
00:29:01.840 like children, treating innocent people like criminals, treating the healthy people as if
00:29:06.840 they are sick and poisonous.
00:29:07.840 Well, our team was there.
00:29:08.840 And as you can see, the police in Montreal don't like to be scrutinized.
00:29:13.840 They didn't just arrest and ticket our people.
00:29:15.840 They handcuffed our people.
00:29:17.840 You saw our friend Mocha Bazirgan there.
00:29:21.840 Efron Monsanto was slammed up against a van.
00:29:24.840 Lincoln was arrested.
00:29:26.840 Thousands of dollars worth of tickets.
00:29:29.840 Also our friend Yankee Pollock down there.
00:29:32.840 Needless to say, we will not be deterred.
00:29:34.840 We will be fighting all the tickets.
00:29:36.840 Lord knows we fight tickets for any public citizen.
00:29:38.840 We'll fight them for our own people. 0.93
00:29:40.840 We will continue to shine a light of public scrutiny on what I believe is police brutality.
00:29:46.840 Mocha, great to see you.
00:29:47.840 I want to salute you and our other young reporters.
00:29:50.840 You have a courage and a spirit of freedom in you that I find quite touching.
00:29:55.840 And I want to thank you for being at some physical risk because they're pushing you around.
00:30:02.840 They're threatening you and yet you endure it and go back for more.
00:30:07.840 So thank you.
00:30:08.840 Yeah, no problem.
00:30:09.840 I went there initially to put a light on what's going on because three weeks before they deployed tear gas to the crowd.
00:30:21.840 So and I thought, what are we doing in Toronto?
00:30:23.840 We should be there now that Toronto has ended the stay at home order.
00:30:27.840 No longer the police goes around and arrest people randomly.
00:30:30.840 So my focus was shifted over there.
00:30:34.840 And I didn't I didn't want to.
00:30:36.840 I didn't want what's going on in Montreal to go unnoticed.
00:30:41.840 And the first time we arrived there two weeks ago, I was recording a gentleman's arrest for not wearing a mask.
00:30:50.840 And while I was recording that, the police came up to me very close personally.
00:30:55.840 They don't care about the two meter rule or anything.
00:30:59.840 He grabbed me by my arm and then pulled me over and then gave me a ticket for not wearing a mask.
00:31:04.840 And then tried to compel me to wear a mask that he provided with his hands.
00:31:10.840 And it's a contaminated one.
00:31:12.840 And I and told me if I don't wear that, he would give me more tickets.
00:31:15.840 Yeah.
00:31:16.840 And I saw that and you were outside.
00:31:19.840 I think that's an important point.
00:31:21.840 Everyone was walking around outside.
00:31:23.840 I think he zeroed in on you quite clearly because you were recording him.
00:31:28.840 I don't think police in Quebec are used to scrutiny.
00:31:32.840 Now, the other day when you guys were in Montreal, you guys been going there and the police now know you.
00:31:41.840 You could you could see that in that clip we played.
00:31:44.840 They know Rebel News.
00:31:45.840 They know our Montreal colleague Yankee Pollock.
00:31:48.840 He happens to be Jewish.
00:31:51.840 But I think he's our only person there who's Jewish.
00:31:54.840 You yourself were born Muslim in Turkey.
00:31:57.840 Lincoln, I think he's Christian.
00:31:58.840 I mean, we don't I don't check the religion.
00:32:01.840 It wasn't on my mind.
00:32:02.840 But for him to call us Jewish media or are you a Jew that I thought that was weird and I don't understand it.
00:32:09.840 I don't know.
00:32:10.840 I don't like it if it's some sort of anti-Semitic thing.
00:32:13.840 I think they just don't like any media.
00:32:16.840 I think we could be any color, any race, any background.
00:32:20.840 The police would hate us anyways because we're showing what they're doing that.
00:32:24.840 I'm trying to make sense of that whole thing.
00:32:26.840 What's your what did you think that was all about?
00:32:28.840 I don't know what's going on internally with the officers there, but they are very unprofessional, very amateur.
00:32:37.840 And the first night when we were going around downtown recording the curfew, we came across a guy who was smoking a cigarette in front of his apartment.
00:32:48.840 And there were two police cruisers.
00:32:50.840 So we asked the person, this is all on camera.
00:32:52.840 What's going on here?
00:32:53.840 And he said, oh, the police officers are here to bust the party.
00:32:57.840 So we walk up to the police.
00:32:59.840 We record some B-rolls.
00:33:01.840 And then the police officer comes out of his vehicle and says, what are you doing here?
00:33:05.840 We're like, oh, we're media.
00:33:06.840 We were recording.
00:33:07.840 We heard there was a party.
00:33:08.840 And he's like, oh, it's 3 a.m.
00:33:10.840 Some 3 a.m.
00:33:11.840 I don't remember the exact hour.
00:33:14.840 And then he says, oh, in your paper, your workplace is in Toronto.
00:33:19.840 And here you are in Montreal.
00:33:21.840 And we're like, this is our workplace.
00:33:23.840 You go where the news is.
00:33:24.840 Yeah, exactly.
00:33:25.840 And he said, well, I beg to differ.
00:33:27.840 How come other media is not doing it?
00:33:30.840 Yep.
00:33:31.840 And also this as well.
00:33:34.840 I'm just going to get my ID and my...
00:33:36.840 How about you close your phone?
00:33:37.840 I'm sorry.
00:33:38.840 This is our job.
00:33:39.840 Sorry.
00:33:40.840 You're not obligated.
00:33:41.840 Sorry.
00:33:42.840 There's no legal obligation.
00:33:43.840 I'm being paid to do this as a journalist.
00:33:45.840 You have to record everything.
00:33:46.840 Can you hold this real quick?
00:33:48.840 Yes.
00:33:52.840 So what are you doing outside?
00:33:53.840 What are you doing outside?
00:33:54.840 We're looking for police interactions with the citizens.
00:33:57.840 No, you're not.
00:33:58.840 It says here that under the law, you're allowed only to go from your home to your place of work.
00:34:03.840 Yeah, this is our work.
00:34:05.840 I would beg to differ.
00:34:07.840 In what sense we're here to record how the curfew is?
00:34:10.840 People from CDC or CTV outside.
00:34:12.840 That doesn't matter.
00:34:13.840 We choose to go out.
00:34:14.840 No, but that doesn't say...
00:34:15.840 I mean, I'm not saying, yeah, you can choose to go out, but it says here that you're only
00:34:20.840 obligated, you're only allowed to go from your house to your place of work.
00:34:24.840 This is...
00:34:25.840 To me, that's...
00:34:26.840 And you told me that on the phone when we spoke.
00:34:28.840 To me, that's the giveaway.
00:34:30.840 It's not...
00:34:31.840 I mean, there may be some anti-Jewish feeling.
00:34:33.840 I don't know.
00:34:34.840 I don't know Montreal that well.
00:34:36.840 I know the Orthodox Jewish community has a lot of friction with the police.
00:34:40.840 So there may be that.
00:34:41.840 But I think what you said is what's going on.
00:34:43.840 The media or what I call the media party, the legacy media, the government media, the bailout
00:34:49.840 media, they're very compliant.
00:34:52.840 They support the lockdowns.
00:34:54.840 Their jobs haven't been damaged.
00:34:56.840 They either cheerlead or they don't cover it at all.
00:35:01.840 So I actually think the cops are shocked that any media would dare to scrutinize.
00:35:08.840 Yeah.
00:35:09.840 And would ask skeptical questions and wouldn't be obedient stenographers.
00:35:12.840 I think they're just mad anyone's reporting them.
00:35:15.840 They were also, I think, mad because we kept recording because after questioning us why
00:35:22.840 we're here and why we're recording, he told me, you are under no legal obligation to record.
00:35:28.840 Well, of course, we're not under a legal obligation.
00:35:30.840 It's our choice to record.
00:35:32.840 Whenever a cop says, turn off your camera.
00:35:35.840 No, thanks.
00:35:36.840 No, you know, get a court order.
00:35:38.840 There's no such thing as a cop saying, turn off your camera.
00:35:41.840 That's not a thing.
00:35:42.840 But why would a cop say that?
00:35:44.840 It's because something's about to happen that they don't want either the public to see
00:35:50.840 or maybe even a judge to see.
00:35:52.840 They themselves don't have dash cams or body cams.
00:35:55.840 And what I noticed, their name tags are made of some material, like metal, I think.
00:36:00.840 And sometimes when the sun hits, it shines back at the camera and you can't see the name.
00:36:05.840 You know, it's interesting.
00:36:07.840 Our friend Yankee Pollack, and he does a lot of social media, so he's not frequently a reporter,
00:36:12.840 although because he's out there, he goes out and he just walks around and he films things.
00:36:16.840 And he's done some interesting work that way.
00:36:18.840 He does that.
00:36:19.840 You know him now.
00:36:20.840 He's very friendly.
00:36:21.840 He's very chatty.
00:36:22.840 He'll talk to anyone.
00:36:23.840 And he's not mean.
00:36:24.840 So he actually engages with these cops and they know him.
00:36:28.840 And I don't think they like him because they've given him, I think, more than $10,000 worth of fines,
00:36:34.840 even though he shows them his exemption every time.
00:36:37.840 But the move they use against him that really bugs me is they have those very bright searchlights.
00:36:44.840 And whenever Yankee comes to ask him a question, they take a searchlight and point it right in his face to defeat the camera
00:36:53.840 and also to cause him discomfort and make him look away and to obscure themselves.
00:36:58.840 I think that that is childish, bullying, aggressive, belligerent.
00:37:06.840 And I think it shows a guilty mind.
00:37:09.840 It shows that they're doing something they are not proud of, those cops.
00:37:13.840 Hey, the other media don't report us.
00:37:15.840 Hey, I'm going to block your camera with a light.
00:37:18.840 Hey, you can turn off your camera now.
00:37:20.840 That's all a poker tell, a giveaway that they know what they're doing is wrong.
00:37:26.840 Yeah, and the second week when we came, we didn't even go into the demonstration yet.
00:37:32.840 We just arrived and there were two officers walking and we were recording them.
00:37:36.840 They noticed us and then they came around and grabbed me for not wearing a mask.
00:37:42.840 Of course, this is not about mask or anything because all the supervisors that I noticed in different locations, different times,
00:37:50.840 the supervisors are not wearing the mask for some reason.
00:37:53.840 The police supervisors.
00:37:55.840 Yes.
00:37:56.840 And the second time when I was arrested, I already had my mask on.
00:38:01.840 It was not just an ordinary mask.
00:38:03.840 It was a mask that also, it was a mask we bought because they deployed tear gas two weeks ago.
00:38:09.840 That's right.
00:38:10.840 So it was an excellent filter.
00:38:11.840 It wasn't just like a little blue paper mask.
00:38:14.840 Yeah.
00:38:15.840 It was in case the police tried to tear gas you.
00:38:17.840 So that's actually, you probably had the best mask on the street.
00:38:21.840 Yes.
00:38:22.840 And I have been wearing that for half of the demonstration because I knew that the riot police would ambush the protesters and then pick randomly who they want to arrest.
00:38:33.840 And they arrested this guy who was already wearing a mask.
00:38:36.840 And that was very interesting to us.
00:38:38.840 And we were trying to record, we were trying to understand what's going on, but they wouldn't let us go through.
00:38:42.840 And we didn't attempt to go through actually.
00:38:44.840 And Efron, they wouldn't let us go through even after they grabbed the guy and they were going back.
00:38:53.840 Lincoln was on the sidewalk.
00:38:54.840 He was arrested after they let us inside.
00:38:58.840 And when he was arrested, I removed my mask.
00:39:03.840 And my mask was on all the time.
00:39:05.840 And David did an interview with this gentleman in Queen's Park.
00:39:08.840 He had the same mask.
00:39:09.840 You can't hear a single word of the guy, what he's saying, because the mask blocks it.
00:39:14.840 So I removed the mask to say, why are you arresting him?
00:39:17.840 They are not violent people.
00:39:18.840 They are, why did you arrest two members of the media?
00:39:20.840 And then this big cop riot police comes and says, put back your mask on.
00:39:25.840 And for two seconds, I put it back.
00:39:27.840 And then my brain just, I said, wait, who is he to tell me to do that?
00:39:34.840 So I removed it.
00:39:35.840 And what are you going to do?
00:39:36.840 Arrest me, go ahead.
00:39:37.840 I don't obey you.
00:39:38.840 Why don't you use your guns and go after criminals?
00:39:46.840 I don't listen to you.
00:39:47.840 Come, come arrest me.
00:39:48.840 Come arrest me.
00:39:49.840 Go ahead.
00:39:50.840 Come.
00:39:51.840 I don't obey you.
00:39:52.840 Go ahead.
00:39:53.840 Come.
00:39:54.840 Okay.
00:39:55.840 Yeah.
00:39:56.840 No, I'm not wearing it.
00:39:57.840 Go ahead.
00:39:58.840 Go.
00:39:59.840 Okay.
00:40:00.840 Arrest me.
00:40:01.840 Go.
00:40:02.840 Let's go.
00:40:03.840 Here.
00:40:04.840 Well, it's unusual to have such principled courage.
00:40:07.840 And that's how I started our interview.
00:40:09.840 I watched that footage, especially Efron, our head of video.
00:40:13.840 I felt that was deeply unfair and abusive and harassing the way they treated him.
00:40:19.840 And again, I don't know if there's a bit of anti-Semitism towards Yankee.
00:40:26.840 You and Efron, I think, would be called visible minorities.
00:40:30.840 I don't know.
00:40:31.840 So I don't know if there's any of that there.
00:40:34.840 I don't necessarily think it's any of those things.
00:40:37.840 I think it's that you're shining a light of public scrutiny.
00:40:41.840 And it's not that you're from Toronto.
00:40:43.840 It's not that you're wearing a mask or not.
00:40:46.840 It's not that Yankee's Jewish. 0.99
00:40:48.840 It's not that Efron or you have a certain skin color.
00:40:51.840 It's none of those things.
00:40:52.840 And that may be part of it, too.
00:40:54.840 But it is because you are telling the other side of the story.
00:40:58.840 And they hate that.
00:40:59.840 Yeah.
00:41:00.840 They are trying to intimidate and deter us from continually coming there every weekend.
00:41:04.840 Well, that gets my back up.
00:41:07.840 And I remember when that happened at City Hall in Toronto.
00:41:11.840 And the police were driving you and David Menzies away.
00:41:14.840 And we all showed up as a team.
00:41:16.840 I believe that we have to go back to Montreal.
00:41:20.840 You and our team of young guys.
00:41:22.840 You and Lincoln and Efron and Sid.
00:41:25.840 We got a bunch of young guys.
00:41:26.840 It's great.
00:41:27.840 But I think if the police continue to defy our Canadian norms of freedom of press.
00:41:34.840 And rule of law policing.
00:41:38.840 I think our whole team has to deploy.
00:41:41.840 Yeah.
00:41:42.840 Just with lawyers in tow.
00:41:43.840 Just like we did in Toronto.
00:41:45.840 Because this isn't even just about us anymore.
00:41:47.840 It's about what is Canada like a year into the lockdowns.
00:41:52.840 We can't just passively accept what everyone else has accepted.
00:41:57.840 Yeah.
00:41:58.840 And I'm afraid that what is going on in Quebec will come to Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia.
00:42:06.840 Because they have been going through these curfews for almost more than a month now.
00:42:11.840 And the police walks around and grabs whoever they like who don't wear a mask.
00:42:17.840 Especially reporters.
00:42:19.840 You said one more thing to me when we were talking on the phone.
00:42:23.840 When you were out there and I was here.
00:42:25.840 You said, I think you said, it's like Istanbul.
00:42:29.840 Oh yeah.
00:42:30.840 Is that what you said to me?
00:42:31.840 In Istanbul, lately, this has become a thing in my, when I was living there.
00:42:37.840 It wasn't like that before.
00:42:39.840 There is like so many police officers everywhere.
00:42:43.840 And these new hires are, they only need a high school diploma to become an officer with gun.
00:42:50.840 And they go around and randomly stop people at major intersections.
00:42:55.840 At the middle of the night in a, in a suburb neighborhood.
00:42:58.840 Or in a, on the street anywhere.
00:43:04.840 And if you're lucky, if you go from point A to B in Istanbul without being stopped by police and get your bag searched.
00:43:11.840 And we have, I have seen many videos where in Istanbul outdoors you have to wear the mask.
00:43:17.840 And there was this guy who pulled down his mask and he was smoking a cigarette.
00:43:22.840 Or there was this girl who was talking on the phone without a mask outside.
00:43:25.840 The police will come up to her or him and the media will come there.
00:43:29.840 And they will record the police giving her a ticket.
00:43:32.840 And then the headlines would be, oh, look at this woman giving the police a tough time. 1.00
00:43:39.840 Yeah.
00:43:40.840 So, and it does, Quebec feels, Montreal felt like that because I was in a single day abducted by police.
00:43:50.840 How many times?
00:43:52.840 In Montreal.
00:43:54.840 Well, in one day I was abducted twice.
00:43:56.840 They tried to put me in the back of a police car to give me a ticket.
00:43:59.840 Yeah, that was crazy.
00:44:01.840 They put Efron in handcuffs just to give him a failure to wear a mask covering.
00:44:06.840 That's absurd.
00:44:07.840 Those are just tickets.
00:44:08.840 Those are not criminal offenses.
00:44:10.840 It would be like if you were parking in a no parking zone and arrested and thrown in the back of a police car.
00:44:17.840 I find these things deeply disturbing.
00:44:19.840 But at the same time, I'm very encouraged by our people.
00:44:24.840 And I'm also encouraged by the fact that Quebec, where we're not normally strong, we don't speak French.
00:44:31.840 We don't, I mean, Yankee does some journalism from Montreal, but we haven't had a force on the ground.
00:44:38.840 But even in the last few weeks, thousands, tens of thousands, I don't know, maybe hundreds of thousands of people in Quebec have turned to Rebel News for our side of the story.
00:44:49.840 And you were mentioning to me that people came up to you.
00:44:53.840 Give me a little bit of that.
00:44:55.840 We were marching with the protest on the sidewalk, recording, collecting B-roll.
00:44:59.840 And people would come in and like four, five, six people at times, and they would give us fifth bombs and they would say some of them don't even know English.
00:45:08.840 And when I got my first ticket, two ladies came up to us and they took selfies with me with the ticket. 1.00
00:45:17.840 And they said, oh, we love Rebel News. And they weren't even speaking proper English. They were Quebecers. 0.72
00:45:24.840 So, and when we first went there, we didn't have any, nobody knows us in the march.
00:45:30.840 So nobody came up to us and, hey, Rebel News. But this week, it was different.
00:45:35.840 It's very interesting. It's very encouraging. We're going to keep doing what we do.
00:45:40.840 Obviously, we're going to fight your tickets. 0.65
00:45:43.840 I think we're going to take a larger action against the police.
00:45:48.840 It's one thing to fight the tickets. That's a defensive move.
00:45:51.840 But I think we have to proactively push back on the police in some legal manner because handcuffing, arresting, harassing,
00:46:02.840 I find it weird the way they call us Jew media or whatever.
00:46:06.840 And again, I don't know if that's, I don't quite understand that. I think it's weird.
00:46:10.840 I want to learn more about that. I think we have to proactively push back to the police.
00:46:14.840 I think we've done that here in Toronto. You, Mocha, Lincoln were also assaulted in Toronto.
00:46:21.840 We're suing 11 police officers in Toronto. And I'm not afraid to do that in Montreal too, because it's the rule of law.
00:46:29.840 As I always say, if these policemen don't understand civil liberties and the rule of law and the limits on their power, maybe they need a judge to tell them.
00:46:40.840 And I will, I don't know what other media do. Sounds like other media are compliant.
00:46:46.840 But as long as we have breath in us, we will push back against this tyranny.
00:46:53.840 And you used some tough language at the beginning of the show. I think you used the word thugs.
00:46:57.840 I understand that because if some, if someone has a gun and a badge, but they abuse those things.
00:47:04.840 If they step outside their boundaries within, if they think they're beyond or above the law, then they are no longer an officer of the law in my eyes.
00:47:15.840 I think, I think that's a very important point. The police, more than anyone else, have to follow the law, especially if they want the public's respect and support.
00:47:24.840 And I say this as a lifelong supporter of police. I didn't grow up in Istanbul where the police were like a quasi police state.
00:47:32.840 I grew up in Alberta. Everyone loved and respected police.
00:47:35.840 My childhood, my childhood dream was to become a police officer, but that took a 180 degree turn now.
00:47:42.840 Isn't that interesting? Well, Mocha, congratulations to you on your journalism.
00:47:46.840 You have a new title, chief videographer. I think it's true. So keep up the great work. We've got your back.
00:47:54.840 There's a lot of team spirit here supporting your work. I think it's very important.
00:48:00.840 And maybe I might join you one of these days out in Montreal. I love that city.
00:48:06.840 A lot of the fun parts of it are closed, the restaurants, the bars. It's a lively city. I'm sure it still has life.
00:48:11.840 Oh, yeah, it does.
00:48:12.840 Well, maybe I'll go out there and take a look myself.
00:48:16.840 Yeah, it would be wonderful to go there as a team.
00:48:18.840 Right on. There you have it. Mocha Beziergen, our chief videographer, who has been leading the charge with our team,
00:48:24.840 Efron and Lincoln and Sid and David and others. And I promise you, we'll keep it up. Stay with us more ahead.
00:48:30.840 On the show last night, Isabel writes, the people celebrating this are the same ones who bemoaned Trump as a fascist dictator, American or not, for four years.
00:48:53.840 Never have I seen such massive acceptance of a police state. It's incredible.
00:48:58.840 And I, you know, when I grew up in a Jewish school and the teachers, when I was in grade one, two, three kind of thing, the teacher and the principal were actually Holocaust survivors.
00:49:09.840 They met in the concentration camp. They came to Canada. It was the Eichlers. And so we learned about the Holocaust. This is in the 70s.
00:49:17.840 So it was only 30 years before. And I thought, how could that possibly happen? How could people have gone along with it?
00:49:24.840 How could the Jews have not seen it coming? Why didn't they flee? How could other people? Like, I just kept saying, how, how, how? 1.00
00:49:30.840 It almost seemed like an impossible freak accident, like a black swan moment.
00:49:36.840 And, but I kept thinking, really, why didn't the Jews leave? Because, you know, 1933, 1935, the Nuremberg laws, 37, 38, you know, Reichstag fire, the Kristallnacht, all these things. 0.95
00:49:49.840 And yet the Jews stayed. Some left. But why did most stay? 0.92
00:49:56.840 Because they thought, oh, it's fine. Oh, it's fine. It'll get better. No, we can.
00:50:01.840 And I, and I'm not comparing the pandemic to a Holocaust, but I'm comparing how we cope and how we minimize and how we say, no, this is fine. No, it's fine. 0.94
00:50:13.840 Sure, it's a diminution of our freedoms, but we can handle it.
00:50:18.840 I mean, I, I never thought I could understand how people could abide it and obey it and submit to it.
00:50:26.840 But now I understand completely.
00:50:30.840 And I also can understand how some people are drawn to an authoritarian police state who love being snitches and turning in others.
00:50:39.840 I did not understand that as a child learning about the Holocaust.
00:50:43.840 I understand that now.
00:50:46.840 Barry writes, Ford is not for the people.
00:50:48.840 The government is getting a lot closer to total control.
00:50:51.840 You know, I couldn't believe it when I learned that the Blue Jays baseball team in Toronto, they're moving to Florida.
00:50:59.840 They're not sticking around.
00:51:00.840 The Toronto Blue Jays are now the Florida Blue Jays.
00:51:03.840 I don't know if they're changing. They're just going to play down there.
00:51:05.840 They're sick of it.
00:51:06.840 Florida, free, healthy, successful.
00:51:11.840 Even states like New York and California are freeing up.
00:51:14.840 But Ontario and Quebec are getting more abusive towards citizens.
00:51:18.840 How long before, as I just said, people leave?
00:51:21.840 Not everyone.
00:51:22.840 Some people can't leave.
00:51:23.840 Some people too old to leave.
00:51:24.840 Some people have too much inertia.
00:51:25.840 But seriously, why would you stay?
00:51:27.840 Dave writes, all political leaders and frankly all civil servants should have their salaries rolled back to $2,000 per month until all the lockdowns in the jurisdiction are removed.
00:51:38.840 You know, that'll work for some of them.
00:51:41.840 Others, they're independently wealthy.
00:51:43.840 I think of the mayor of Toronto, John Tory, he's a gazillionaire.
00:51:46.840 He's not in it for the money.
00:51:47.840 He's in it for social status, to feel powerful, for connections.
00:51:55.840 So yeah, hooking some politicians' personal fortunes up to the fortunes of the people would have an effect.
00:52:02.840 But for some people who are independently wealthy, I don't think it would work.
00:52:05.840 That's our show for today.
00:52:06.840 Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Highquarters, to you at home, goodnight.
00:52:10.840 Keep fighting for freedom.
00:52:12.840 ientos давай
00:52:13.920 Good times if you're looking for freedom to let you sigh of-
00:52:19.840 Bye-bye.
00:52:22.840 We're out of town.
00:52:25.840 And you may join us now.
00:52:26.840 .
00:52:27.840 We'll be right by Josh Cecil Sharma.
00:52:31.840 The Homestead for the damn thing you won.
00:52:32.840 Whenever you wake up the damn thing, I'm gonna be the same.
00:52:35.840 It's a good thing, thanks be to all ourrontingSD Nova.
