Rebel News Podcast - I’ve got about a dozen questions about the pandemic

00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. Today, I have a list of questions, just basic dumb questions. But 0.98

00:00:05.940 I think the dumber the question, let me rephrase that, the simpler the question, 0.99

00:00:10.900 the better. Don't you think? The simpler the question, the more basic you're getting down 0.99

00:00:15.480 to brass. I got 14 questions that remain unanswered about this pandemic. I'll whip

00:00:23.580 through them, so it won't take long. I hope you find them interesting. Before I get out of the

00:00:28.240 way and let you hear the monologue, let me invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus.

00:00:32.780 That's the video version of the podcast. It's $8 a month or $80 for a year. And I do this literally

00:00:38.240 every day. And Sheila Gunn-Reed and David Menzies do it once a week. So that is, what's the math on

00:00:44.080 that? That's 350 shows a year for $80. We're practically paying you. Go to rebelnews.com

00:00:53.900 and sign up. It would be a real favor because that's how we pay the bills around here. All right,

00:00:57.660 here's today's podcast.

00:01:11.980 Tonight, I've got about a dozen questions about the pandemic. It's May 14th and you're watching

00:01:19.140 the Ezra Levant Show.

00:01:22.380 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:26.080 There's 8,500 customers here and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:30.140 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody

00:01:35.040 right to do so.

00:01:41.260 I've got some questions about the pandemic. Question one, we were told that we had to shut down society

00:01:47.420 to flatten the curve. That didn't mean that no one would get sick. It meant that we would slow down

00:01:53.360 the rate of people getting sick. So it didn't happen all at once and overwhelm hospitals. Well,

00:02:00.340 mission accomplished. The curve is so flat, it's lower than any of the best case scenarios we

00:02:05.980 showed last month. Hospitals are mostly empty. So why are we still in a lockdown?

00:02:11.000 Question two, not a single child in Canada has died from this virus. No one under 20 years old.

00:02:20.480 There are about 8 million Canadians under 20. Not one has died. So why have we shut down schools,

00:02:29.880 kids' sports, and summer camps?

00:02:32.220 Question three. Here's an interesting article in the Globe and Mail. It says,

00:02:39.540 to date, 312 detailed studies have been published about clusters of coronavirus infections.

00:02:47.300 There is not a single case of infection by casual contact outdoors, unquote.

00:02:53.900 So not a single person in Canada under 20 has died from this, and not a single person anywhere

00:03:00.880 has caught the disease while being outside. So why have we shut down playgrounds and parks?

00:03:09.140 Question four. Why do politicians threaten us with huge fines for visiting with friends and family

00:03:15.680 when it seems like every single one of them has done so themselves? Trudeau told us we had to stay

00:03:22.460 home over Easter, but then he immediately crossed into Quebec for a family get-together over Easter.

00:03:28.540 Doug Ford had a whole family reunion and went to his cottage, too. John Tory went on a junket to London,

00:03:35.340 England, and he loves photo ops without his face mask with hospital workers. And it sure looks like a lot of

00:03:42.600 politicians have had a haircut. It's like those jet-setting celebrities telling us about global warming.

00:03:48.920 Why should we trust a word they say when their own actions say something different?

00:03:53.640 Question five. As you know, here at Rebel News, we've offered a free lawyer to any Canadian who

00:04:00.340 has received an unfair ticket for just walking outside. And so far, we've taken 11 cases. We're

00:04:07.320 not a public interest law firm, but we're doing that kind of work. Question. How come Canada's most

00:04:13.880 famous and best-funded group, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, with a seven-figure budget

00:04:20.880 and full-time lawyers on staff, how come they have refused to take a single case of any Canadian

00:04:27.500 whose civil liberties have been violated? Not one. Oh, scratch that. They did take one.

00:04:35.060 I see that they have sued the government to get them to release all the prisoners. Got it.

00:04:40.660 Question six. I see that CNN has put that Swedish teenager, Greta Thunberg, on one of their expert

00:04:50.140 panels about the virus. Wow. Is there anything that girl can't do? How do you think that happened? 1.00

00:04:58.780 Do you think CNN said, forget about the doctors and the experts, let's get us a foreign high school 0.96

00:05:04.680 dropout with clinical depression to lecture us? Later on, I was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome,

00:05:12.860 OCD, and selective mutism. Yikes. Do you think CNN recruited her, or do you think her PR handlers 0.99

00:05:21.040 reached out to CNN telling them that Greta had diversified her scolding into new subject matters? 0.50

00:05:28.020 How dare you? Question seven. Speaking of global warming, if this is how global experts from UN

00:05:35.160 agencies with scientific models warn us about a crisis, that they can't even predict correctly

00:05:41.140 two weeks into the future, and while they're at it, they're crashing the economy and violating our

00:05:45.520 civil liberties, why should we trust global experts with scientific models when they warn us about a

00:05:50.740 crisis about global warming, that they say will happen decades into the future, given that none of

00:05:57.940 their models have come true over the past decades? Question eight. Justin Trudeau, alone amongst all

00:06:05.700 the world's leaders, has chosen to stay at home during this whole crisis. He doesn't have the virus.

00:06:12.280 He just chooses not to work. He's so unbusy, he actually offered to help children do their homework.

00:06:21.320 Hey kids, I know we're all going through a difficult time right now, and it's not made any easier by the

00:06:27.180 fact that you have to do your homework around the kitchen table. I think parents across the country

00:06:32.360 are discovering a new appreciation for the incredible work that teachers do. Well, as a teacher, I want to

00:06:39.360 help. How can a country with any self-respect find that acceptable? Question nine. Why did Parliament give

00:06:47.520 itself a raise on April 1st when so many of the rest of us were getting laid off? Why did they jack up

00:06:54.300 carbon taxes by 50% on that same day? Have they no decency? Or do they simply know we can't throw

00:07:02.720 all of them out and we'll probably forget that they stuffed their own pockets by the time the next

00:07:07.100 election rolls around? Question ten. Canada's chief public health officer, Theresa Tam, has kept her 0.99

00:07:15.220 second job during this whole crisis. She works for Canada, but she also has a job working for the

00:07:21.920 United Nations Agency, the World Health Organization. In fact, she has missed important Canadian duties,

00:07:28.520 such as briefing the provinces, because she's busy running errands for the UN. In the greatest health 0.87

00:07:34.400 panic in a century, why is Canada's top public health doctor moonlighting for a foreign agency,

00:07:40.940 one controlled by China, no less? And when China's interests conflict with Canada's interests,

00:07:47.020 which boss does she follow? Question eleven. Approximately 5,300 people in Canada have died from

00:07:55.500 the virus, but 82% of the deaths were seniors living in seniors' homes. They didn't die from the virus

00:08:03.140 or from being old. They died from the virus and being old in a particular deadly setting. I'll get

00:08:09.780 back to it in a moment. So if you take those seniors' home statistics out of the equation,

00:08:15.760 the entire virus death toll is about 1,000 people. Now, every one of those is a tragedy,

00:08:23.760 but in any given year, the number of deaths from the regular flu and pneumonia in Canada,

00:08:28.720 it's between 6,000 and 8,500 people. Did we just destroy 2 million jobs because of the flu?

00:08:39.860 Question thirteen. One common link between many of the seniors' homes and those meatpacking plants 1.00

00:08:46.780 in Alberta that are the biggest virus clusters out there is that they're both operated by cheap

00:08:52.480 foreign laborers brought into Canada under something called the Temporary Foreign Workers Program.

00:08:59.320 They're exempt from normal workplace laws. They're paid a pittance, which is why large,

00:09:05.260 heartless, multinational corporations love the Temporary Foreign Workers Program, like meatpacking 0.83

00:09:10.580 plants and institutional seniors' homes, some of which are actually owned by China. But these foreign 0.95

00:09:16.800 workers are paid so poorly, they often have to live in bunkhouse-style dwellings en masse, small rooms

00:09:23.800 breathing each other's air. And in the case of meatpacking plants, they also carpool together

00:09:28.560 to save every cent they can. And in the case of those seniors' homes, temporary foreign workers often

00:09:34.200 work at several places just to make a living. So the health staff themselves became super spreaders.

00:09:42.100 So my last question is, now that we've destroyed two million jobs, and now that we know the virus

00:09:48.960 isn't as bad as experts said, can the rest of us please get back to work now? And by that I mean

00:09:55.900 Canadians going back to work. Can unemployed Canadians have first dibs at any jobs before we continue to 0.94

00:10:03.200 fly in foreign citizens to undercut Canadian wages? Oh, yeah, I guess not. Stay with us for more. 0.98

00:10:24.940 Well, we've been around for a little more than five years here at Rebel News. If I counted up all the

00:10:30.580 videos we've done, probably around 15,000 by now, there have been many moments I've been very proud of

00:10:37.340 our journalistic coverage, our editorial stances. But I must tell you, and I've thought about this

00:10:42.660 quite a bit, that if I had to choose the one moment of sheer joy and exuberance and vindication

00:10:51.840 and thrill and surprise, the highlight of the five years here for me, it was that day in October last year,

00:11:03.140 that Monday afternoon, when we rushed to the Federal Court of Canada to get an emergency injunction

00:11:09.420 stopping Justin Trudeau from banning our reporters from covering the leaders' debate.

00:11:14.560 And against all odds, against an army of overpaid Trudeau lawyers, five of them,

00:11:22.280 we prevailed. I was stunned. It was the validation of everything we believed in here,

00:11:30.300 telling the other side of the story, being independent journalists, and our belief that

00:11:34.020 the establishment, the media party, the political media industrial complex was wrong and we were right.

00:11:40.180 Even if everyone said we were wrong, we were still right. The Federal Court of Canada said so.

00:11:46.580 And the two men who did the heavy lifting for us that day were young lawyers that we had just

00:11:52.100 retained three days earlier, Aaron Rosenberg and David Elmola, who had worked all weekend to give us

00:11:58.180 that victory. Well, since then, David and Aaron have done more work for us. And as you may know,

00:12:05.080 about a week ago, we filed another similar lawsuit against Justin Trudeau's Privy Council Office,

00:12:13.480 or PCO as it's sometimes called, for much the same as we did last year. Back then,

00:12:20.560 our journalists were banned from attending the leaders' debates. Now, our journalists are banned

00:12:25.500 from asking questions of Justin Trudeau at his daily press scrum. Well, we have some updates,

00:12:33.240 it's a small update on the case. And joining us now via Skype is our friend and lawyer, Aaron Rosenberg.

00:12:40.300 Aaron, great to see you again. Oh, so nice to see you. Thank you so much for having me.

00:12:45.440 Well, come on. I mean, you were, you and your legal partner, David Elmola, were the architects of our

00:12:53.620 greatest victory. And so I know this is also a long shot case. I won't deny that. But the case you

00:13:00.980 filed a week ago gives me some hope that we can bust down more of Trudeau's censorship. Why don't

00:13:06.440 you give our viewers a one-minute recap of what that lawsuit says? That's right. So, you know,

00:13:14.180 this is a very, very interesting, unique application to the federal court. On behalf of Rebel News,

00:13:23.040 we're asking for the court to review the decisions, or lack thereof, by the Privy Council in their

00:13:33.920 management of Trudeau's morning show. That's the daily COVID-19 press briefings that are made every

00:13:42.200 day by the prime minister. So what we're trying to do is we're trying to get the court to say,

00:13:47.820 you know, this process is unaccountable. It's not transparent. And media outlets like Rebel that

00:13:58.300 are not members of the elite press gallery are being denied access to the prime minister during

00:14:06.700 an unprecedented time when Canadians need to be informed by their federal leaders about what's

00:14:14.220 happening with this problematic pandemic. And so, you know, Rebel really has no choice. They're not

00:14:22.700 being offered the opportunity to ask these questions, just like in the leaders debate where

00:14:26.900 access was completely denied. In this case, Rebel folks can call in, but they're not being asked any

00:14:35.080 questions. They're not able to ask any questions. And thus, there really is no access for Rebel and for

00:14:42.380 other like institutions. Yeah, it's incredible. You know, in our last lawsuit, the one where you and

00:14:49.240 David were victorious in October for us, we were joined in court by our friends at True North, Andrew

00:14:55.260 Lawton, Candace Malcolm, Anthony Fury, good folks over there. Andrew wound up getting in along with us.

00:15:01.580 They're not even trying anymore. Blacklock's another independent news agency in Ottawa doesn't

00:15:10.260 even try. Even our alumnus, Brian Lilly, doesn't even try. There's so many conservative leaning journalists who don't

00:15:19.800 even bother to call in because they're never put through. We have called more than 20 times, never put through

00:15:27.260 once, but other journalists get on almost every day. That's right. That's not random. And it's not a process that's

00:15:36.500 basically blackballing anyone who might ask a tough question. And by the way, Aaron, I want to let you

00:15:42.400 know that I don't believe any court should command Justin Trudeau to have to talk to me. But I ought to

00:15:49.420 be able to put a question that he could ignore or swat away. You know, I'm not looking for a court to say

00:15:56.000 be Ezra's best friend or be the rebel's best friend. But if this is a bureaucracy, a nonpartisan

00:16:01.100 civil service that is handling this phone thing, they should be neutral as opposed to partisan.

00:16:09.200 They should not discriminate between left-wing reporters, right-wing reporters, Toronto reporters,

00:16:14.740 Vancouver reporters. That's what irks me, is that Trudeau looks like he's making the civil service

00:16:20.260 into a wing of the Liberal Party.

00:16:22.440 You know what? And you raise such an important point, is that not only is this the bureaucracy,

00:16:30.400 this, the Privy Council office and the clerk is, it's part of its mandate. Its guiding principle

00:16:37.180 is to be nonpartisan, to provide nonpartisan advice and administrative assistance to the prime

00:16:43.920 minister. And so that's exactly correct, is that this type of nonpartisan agency should be held

00:16:51.520 accountable for the manner in which they're administering this type of process. This is a

00:16:56.640 critical process right now. And yet, all, you know, all indications point to this being an

00:17:04.680 arbitrary, capricious process that is by no means nonpartisan. And, you know, thankfully, we have groups

00:17:12.700 like Rebel that are willing to step up. And we're certainly delighted to be, to be of assistance in

00:17:17.880 this process. Well, thank you for that. Now, we filed the lawsuit about a week and a half ago.

00:17:24.000 And if I recall, the government had one week in which to reply. Now, I think we did get a reply.

00:17:31.840 I haven't looked through it carefully. So I'm sort of hearing this from you at the same time you're

00:17:36.600 telling all our viewers, which is good, because we crowdfund your legal fees. So I want our viewers to

00:17:42.000 know pretty much as much as I know. What document has the federal government filed with the court

00:17:49.500 in response to our lawsuit last week? So they've filed what they're required to file,

00:17:57.420 which is a notice of appearance. That document is very short. It says that they are responding

00:18:06.120 to this application. They recognize they've been served with Rebel's notice of application

00:18:13.220 that commences. It's the originating process that commences this proceeding. They've seen it,

00:18:19.000 they recognize it, and they will be responding to it. And now the ball's in our court. So what we can

00:18:24.000 talk about those steps next. So serving the government, that's basically when you tag them,

00:18:30.360 tag, you're it, we're suing you. That's the starter pistol for litigation.

00:18:34.620 Uh, that's tough in a time of a pandemic, but they acknowledged that we did tag them. I think

00:18:41.580 you sent it to about five different email addresses and sent it electronically and you did all sorts of

00:18:47.380 things. So you got through and they said, all right, all right, you tagged us. So, uh, now it looks like

00:18:53.820 we're going to be in this virus lockdown and Trudeau's going to be in his pretend quarantine, his self

00:18:59.300 hiding, probably for another month. I want to get in there with our reporters, Kian Bextie, David

00:19:05.640 Menzi, Sheila Gunn-Reed. I might even throw a few questions in myself. So I want this to happen fairly

00:19:10.580 quickly. Um, is, is there a process? Like I, I don't want a hearing in 90 days or six months when

00:19:18.680 we're all done. I remember during the debates thing, we went really quickly, uh, is there a way

00:19:24.160 we can get some ruling or some hearing before the pandemic, uh, rules of hiding Trudeau from reporters

00:19:34.880 are done? Well, you know, um, certainly that's something we've been discussing and happy to have

00:19:41.840 those conversations offline. But, um, all I can say is that there are, uh, there is an opportunity.

00:19:48.180 There are mechanisms to bring this matter forward on an expeditious, urgent basis. Um, that's something

00:19:54.260 we can do when the court will allow it. That's a different story, but certainly, uh, you know,

00:20:00.140 this is something that we can pursue and we can try to bring it before the court so that the court can

00:20:04.520 make, uh, have the opportunity to decide whether they're going to make a ruling on this fairly quickly.

00:20:09.300 That's a very diplomatic way of saying, Ezra, ask me these questions privately where we're not tipping

00:20:15.700 the government off to our strategy. You're so right. I just want to share the update with our

00:20:21.920 viewers that we did tag them. The government acknowledges we've been tagged and now the fight

00:20:26.840 is on. Well, listen, uh, very well answered my friend. And I feel like we're in good hands with you.

00:20:32.500 And I think we're also putting the government on notice that their era of getting away with little,

00:20:37.640 uh, indignities towards independent press, little petty censorships. That era is over. For four

00:20:47.400 years, not a single journalist stood up to Trudeau and his high hand and said, why would they? They're

00:20:53.080 all on the take from the $600 million media bailout. But you and your colleague, David showed last October

00:21:00.360 that we can actually fight and win. So I will have that private conversation with you.

00:21:05.080 And I promise our viewers that we will continue to hold Trudeau government and every government of

00:21:12.080 every stripe to account. And if you want to read our originating notice, our application

00:21:17.400 that, uh, Aaron mentioned, you can find it at letusreport.com. And by the way, if you want to

00:21:25.960 help chip in to cover our legal fees, you can do that at letusreport.com too. Last word to you,

00:21:32.100 Aaron, I think that in Canada, free speech is being rolled back slowly, but surely. And the normal

00:21:39.420 voices that would sound the alarm, they're silent. It's like the watchdog was given like a nice juicy

00:21:45.380 bone to nibble on by a robber. So he wouldn't bark at a home invasion. I mean, my analogy is all the

00:21:53.320 media watchdog groups that would normally be squawking. Well, they're all on the take from Trudeau now.

00:21:57.600 So it's pretty hard to squawk when, you know, Trudeau's giving you in the case of post media,

00:22:04.200 $140,000 a week, for example, pretty tough to bite the hand that feeds. CBC won't do it. I think it

00:22:10.620 falls to us and True North and a few other independents. Well, you know, I think what your

00:22:17.120 organization has done a really great job at is lifting the veil on the challenges here in Canada

00:22:25.800 with respect to the independence of our press. And organizations, you know, news networks like

00:22:33.720 yourselves and others ask tough questions. That's what we should do. That's what, you know, we need a

00:22:38.960 robust press. And yet what we're seeing is we're seeing a prime minister that's being coddled,

00:22:45.040 that's being protected. And, you know, you're right to be asking these questions. We must be

00:22:50.280 asking these questions and we must continue to do so. And if that means resorting to the courts,

00:22:55.200 that's fine. Let's fight it out. Yeah. Well, listen, I'm glad that you and your colleague are on our side.

00:23:00.460 And I just want to point out for our viewers that a couple of months ago, there was a budget lockup

00:23:05.820 in the province of Alberta, which of course has the conservative premier Jason Kenney.

00:23:11.320 And they wanted to keep out a group called Progress Alberta, which is not a real journalistic group.

00:23:17.100 They're a union front group. Like they're not genuine journalists. They're, they're press release

00:23:21.960 writers. But still, in my view, they ought to be able to go into a budget lockup as long as they

00:23:27.940 follow the rules. And the government of Alberta refused to let them in. So I instructed our Edmonton

00:23:33.680 lawyers to share our legal research with Progress Alberta to help them make an emergency application

00:23:41.640 to get into the budget lockup up there. Now, obviously, Progress Alberta, as the name implies,

00:23:47.080 is a left wing front group. They don't like me. I don't like them. But I like them having freedom

00:23:55.260 of speech because the thing about freedom of speech and freedom of the press is it's the gift you've got

00:24:00.360 to give your opponent if you want it for yourself. And if Progress Alberta, who I disrespect ideologically,

00:24:08.240 if they have a win for open government and more free press, that sets a legal precedent that I then

00:24:16.020 can benefit from. Now, they were extremely ungrateful and they were as bad as you would expect. I don't

00:24:22.280 even care because we helped increase the wiggle room for freedom just a tiny bit there. And I say

00:24:29.780 that, Aaron, because this is not just a Trudeau thing. This is a everyone and we're all in this

00:24:36.020 together. We all need freedom of speech. And you don't know what you got till it's gone, by the way.

00:24:40.320 And I don't want to lose that. Last word to you, Aaron.

00:24:43.120 Yeah. Well, isn't it that old, that old great thing where I don't like anything you have to say,

00:24:47.820 but I will fight to the death to protect it. And I see that's what you guys are doing. I live by

00:24:52.700 that principle. And I just think that's so important. That is a fundamental.

00:24:56.880 Well, it's great to have you on the team. Thanks so much for your time. And we'll continue our

00:25:00.000 legal strategizing off camera so Trudeau doesn't get wind of it.

00:25:05.260 Thank you so much, Ezra.

00:25:06.520 All right. You take care. Well, that's our legal eagle, Aaron Rosenberg, who was one of the two

00:25:12.680 lawyers who got us into the leaders debate last October. I will continue my conversation with

00:25:17.760 him out of earshot of the prime minister's office and the privy clerk's office. Please go to

00:25:22.820 letusreport.com. I want you to read what Aaron and his colleague drafted. It's a very interesting

00:25:28.140 lawsuit. It's only, I think, 10 pages or so. And it's in fairly plain English. And if you want to

00:25:33.360 help us pay for this, I mean, I don't know if you saw the news, but when we fought that first round

00:25:39.680 in October, our legal bill was $18,000. The federal government put five lawyers on it.

00:25:47.220 They billed taxpayers $131,000. They spent, what, seven times more. And we still beat them.

00:25:55.880 But I do need your help. So go to letusreport.com. All right. Stay with us. More ahead.

00:26:00.680 Hey, welcome back. On my monologue yesterday about an Angus Reid poll showing support for

00:26:15.040 China plunging to a new low, Norbert writes, perhaps Canadians are beginning to wake up.

00:26:20.600 We have to turn our backs on China. Well, I'm trying to remind myself of how I felt about the 1.00

00:26:27.320 Soviet Union. Of course, I was just a teenager when the Berlin Wall came down. I knew enough 0.98

00:26:34.920 Russians because in the brief period of detente in the late 70s, some Russians left Russia and came

00:26:42.180 to Calgary. And some of those kids went in my school, in my class. Russia let out some tens of

00:26:49.140 thousands of dissidents, mainly Jews, actually. And so there was these Russian kids in my class.

00:26:54.640 So I knew that it was not just easy, but it was proper to love Russians but hate the Soviet Union. 0.75

00:27:04.940 Do you see the difference? And that's what we've got to keep in mind. The first victims of the Chinese 1.00

00:27:11.980 Communist Party are the Chinese people. When Mao Zedong killed, some estimates say, up to 85 million

00:27:18.740 people, they were Chinese people. So love the Chinese people. Hate the Chinese Communist Party.

00:27:27.620 Be inspired by democracy activists in places like Hong Kong and Taiwan. Stand firm with them

00:27:35.280 against the Communist Party. That's the mindset I will try to take. And remind yourself that even in

00:27:42.660 Canada, ethnically Chinese people like Cindy Gu, the publisher of the Epoch Times, are still being

00:27:49.180 bullied by the communists, even here. That would be the equivalent of these Russian dissident kids in my 0.91

00:27:55.380 school being picked on by, I don't know, the Soviet ambassador of the day. So that still happens.

00:28:02.020 Bill writes, just remember, China didn't destroy and shut down our own economy. Our own government did that.

00:28:08.200 You're right. And take a look at this graph. This is almost a perfect bell curve. I got this from the

00:28:16.320 New York City COVID-19 website, which is excellent in terms of statistics. It's over. Flatten the curve.

00:28:26.040 The curve is done. Similar stats all across the West. So why are we still banned from going to work?

00:28:35.100 Those New York stats, which are amazing to me, two million New Yorkers under the age 20,

00:28:41.980 not one single one of them has died from the virus. 23 or 24 were in hospital, but were

00:28:47.760 recovered and are let go. So that would, I mean, just extrapolate those numbers for your city or town

00:28:54.500 across Canada. I don't think a single young person in Canada has died from the virus. And there's been

00:29:00.720 no evidence of any spread of the virus through casual outdoor contact. So why are the schools

00:29:06.940 shut down? The playgrounds shut down? Summer camps shut down? Kids sports shut down? That's correct.

00:29:11.480 That was done by us to us. You're right. On my interview with Spencer Fernando, Paul writes,

00:29:17.900 great to see Spencer Fernando on the show. I've been a fan of his work for years. People need to support

00:29:22.640 independent news media or will soon have nothing but fake news media and whatever little we can get

00:29:27.800 from foreign media. That is exactly my point of view. In some ways, Spencer Fernando is a competitor

00:29:34.060 to us, right? He has his own website. He crowdfunds things. He has a PayPal or Patreon. I can't remember

00:29:40.820 which. So he takes donations, but I don't regard him as a competitor. I regard him as an ally, even

00:29:46.840 though we're not officially allied. We're both independent media. We're both competing against the legacy

00:29:52.680 media that's bought and paid for by Justin Trudeau. And I got to say, I really enjoy following Spencer

00:29:58.140 on Twitter and I get his emails too. So it was a real pleasure to have him on the show. And I wrote

00:30:03.220 back to him and I said, hey, come on, anytime you have something to talk about. So I hope he takes us

00:30:08.540 up on that. I feel the same way towards True North. As you know, Candace Malcolm, Anthony Fury,

00:30:13.340 Andrew Lawton, guys and gals like that, and the post-millennial. And so there's a little alternative

00:30:22.080 press gallery forming, don't you think? And I think that we've done more credible news journalism,

00:30:29.480 if I may, over the last two months than the legacy media. I just, I mean, you be the judge of that.

00:30:35.180 You're the judge. But I think the CBC has disgraced itself. They've done hit jobs against the enemies

00:30:41.600 of the Communist China. Their peace against the Epoch Times was one of the worst things I've ever 0.99

00:30:45.560 seen on that network. Anyways, it was great to have Spencer on the show. That's it for today.

00:30:50.520 Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home,

00:30:54.300 good night and keep fighting for freedom.
