Rebel News Podcast - Justin Trudeau the Librano： Calling an election on 9⧸11 while obstructing an RCMP investigation

00:00:00.000 Hey Rebels, I hope you enjoyed today's show.

00:00:02.120 I enjoyed recording it.

00:00:03.560 It's basically our election kickoff show.

00:00:06.640 I'll give you my thoughts on the day,

00:00:08.800 on how Trudeau doesn't really give a damn about 9-11.

00:00:11.920 I mean, come on, that day's about him, him, him.

00:00:14.580 And I talk about the front page of the Globe and Mail today

00:00:16.580 and how Trudeau's got that all wrapped up.

00:00:18.500 I wish you could see it though,

00:00:19.960 because I show a clip about four times

00:00:21.660 of Justin Trudeau hugging and kissing

00:00:23.860 his hand-picked commissioner of the RCMP.

00:00:27.560 And I wish you could see that,

00:00:28.700 because it shows that this thing's all stitched up.

00:00:32.220 You know how you can see it?

00:00:40.500 I really want you to see that picture

00:00:42.140 of Trudeau hugging and kissing Brenda Luckey,

00:00:45.240 the fortunately named commissioner of the RCMP.

00:00:48.420 She'll never charge him.

00:00:49.620 I think she thinks maybe she can be his girlfriend.

00:00:52.420 I don't know, it looks, I mean,

00:00:53.720 when was the last time you hugged or kissed your boss?

00:00:57.360 Yeah.

00:01:05.280 All right, here's today's podcast.

00:01:09.140 You're listening to a Rebel Media podcast.

00:01:12.400 Tonight, instead of remembering the day,

00:01:14.580 Justin Trudeau calls an election on 9-11.

00:01:17.380 Oh, and he's obstructing an RCMP investigation.

00:01:20.820 It's September 11th,

00:01:21.720 and you're watching the Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:23.340 Why should others go to jail

00:01:26.960 when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:29.160 There's 8,500 customers here,

00:01:31.460 and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:33.220 The only thing I have to say to the government

00:01:35.160 about why I publish it

00:01:36.760 is because it's my bloody right to do so.

00:01:39.100 It's the anniversary of 9-11,

00:01:46.880 the worst catastrophe of my generation.

00:01:50.120 Thousands murdered in the name of Islam. 1.00

00:01:52.900 18 years later,

00:01:53.720 America is still fighting a war in Afghanistan

00:01:55.720 where thousands more have died.

00:01:57.980 Of course, the New York Times perfectly summed up

00:02:01.100 the liberal whitewash of that event.

00:02:02.720 They said 9-11 was when airplanes took aim

00:02:07.200 at the World Trade Center.

00:02:09.040 You know, those pesky airplanes.

00:02:10.520 They'll take aim.

00:02:12.200 Nothing new with Islam, you see. 1.00

00:02:14.280 The 2,000 people didn't just die.

00:02:16.420 They were killed.

00:02:17.000 And actually, to be precise,

00:02:19.120 it was 2,977 people killed that day,

00:02:23.060 including those on the planes.

00:02:24.780 If you're rounding, you'd say 3,000, not 2,000.

00:02:28.880 But at least the New York Times mentioned it at all.

00:02:32.300 Trudeau thought so little of 9-11

00:02:33.820 that he selected it as the date to call his election

00:02:37.660 to make the day about him, him, him,

00:02:40.400 a day to celebrate him,

00:02:42.160 a day to buy billboards and posters and TV ads

00:02:44.700 with his face on it, smirking at you.

00:02:46.760 It's a celebration day for him.

00:02:49.900 No surprise.

00:02:50.720 You know that when there was that brief overlap

00:02:52.860 when Justin Trudeau won the 2015 election,

00:02:55.780 but before he was sworn in,

00:02:57.620 so he was the prime minister-designate,

00:03:00.200 but Stephen Harper was the actual prime minister.

00:03:03.940 Well, it was the anniversary

00:03:04.780 of Corporal Nathan Cirillo's murder.

00:03:06.800 He was the Canadian soldier

00:03:07.860 who was standing guard at the National War Memorial

00:03:10.280 when an ISIS terrorist walked up to him

00:03:13.500 and murdered him, 0.89

00:03:14.260 shooting him at point-blank range

00:03:15.500 before bursting into Parliament

00:03:17.160 in the hail of gunfire.

00:03:18.000 So it was October,

00:03:18.980 and it was the anniversary of Cirillo's murder.

00:03:21.140 So Harper was laying a wreath,

00:03:22.300 and Trudeau thought,

00:03:22.980 well, I guess I better attend too,

00:03:24.600 since I don't want Harper to get all the photo ops. 0.95

00:03:27.440 So you can be sure that was the last time

00:03:30.160 Trudeau laid a wreath for Cirillo.

00:03:32.080 It's not that he doesn't care.

00:03:34.720 He actually cares in reverse.

00:03:36.240 He doesn't want to hurt the feelings

00:03:37.760 of ISIS terrorists anywhere

00:03:38.980 by remembering the people they've murdered.

00:03:41.260 That's what he cares about.

00:03:43.080 It's the same reason he gave $10.5 million to Omar Carter.

00:03:45.740 Oh, Trudeau will bask in the credit

00:03:47.340 of other people's selflessness on 9-11.

00:03:50.300 You know that many passenger planes were diverted

00:03:52.200 from the U.S. to Newfoundland on 9-11

00:03:54.220 for security reasons.

00:03:55.480 And so many Newfoundlanders

00:03:56.620 took those passengers into their homes

00:03:58.200 out of friendship and loyalty.

00:04:00.280 It was a beautiful story, a Canadian story,

00:04:02.300 really a Newfoundland story, to be accurate.

00:04:04.520 And there's a Broadway musical about it,

00:04:06.060 which is good.

00:04:07.020 But Trudeau can't get enough of that.

00:04:09.860 The play, he co-opted the play.

00:04:11.520 You saw him there standing in front of the play.

00:04:13.400 He made it about him, him, him.

00:04:15.100 He actually bought tickets

00:04:16.640 for every U.N. ambassador in New York,

00:04:18.920 all the dictatorships,

00:04:20.300 and invited them to the play as his guest,

00:04:22.420 as if he were the big shot,

00:04:24.180 as opposed to the taxpayers who footed the bill.

00:04:27.020 Most of those ambassadors didn't show up, by the way.

00:04:31.140 I mean, they didn't care.

00:04:32.280 They probably supported the terrorists.

00:04:34.520 They were busy people

00:04:35.520 with many invitations each evening.

00:04:37.760 Not just the childish prime minister

00:04:39.440 of a small country

00:04:40.160 who's obviously just looking for photo ops.

00:04:42.320 No one actually came that night.

00:04:45.540 But Memoianus Trudeau spent more time

00:04:47.400 talking about himself at Come From Away,

00:04:50.680 a musical about 9-11,

00:04:52.920 than he actually does at any 9-11 commemoration.

00:04:56.000 He just put out a tweet today.

00:04:58.300 He made this tweet,

00:04:59.500 or his staff did.

00:05:00.460 Whatevs.

00:05:01.300 And that's it.

00:05:01.940 Let's get that boring stuff out of the way.

00:05:04.360 Today's about me.

00:05:05.540 So on to the election he goes.

00:05:08.000 And look at the Globe and Mail today.

00:05:10.100 Ottawa blocks RCMP on SNC Inquiry.

00:05:13.460 Huge front page story.

00:05:15.940 And you see those three little blurbs at the top there?

00:05:18.280 Mounties investigating possible obstruction of justice,

00:05:21.040 Source says.

00:05:22.580 Government cites cabinet confidentiality,

00:05:24.400 denies access to witnesses and documents.

00:05:27.060 Probe to be frozen during election campaign

00:05:29.120 under RCMP internal guidelines.

00:05:32.020 And then right at the bottom there's a caption,

00:05:33.680 I don't know if you can see it,

00:05:34.440 it says the Prime Minister's office says

00:05:37.880 it had no role in the decision by the Privy Council Clerk

00:05:40.680 to prevent individuals from talking with the RCMP

00:05:43.000 about the SNC-Lavalin affair.

00:05:46.980 Now, I just really showed you the headlines there,

00:05:49.560 and those are all the facts you need right there.

00:05:51.360 I don't even need to read the story to you.

00:05:53.020 You've got it now.

00:05:53.780 The RCMP says,

00:05:55.020 well, shucks,

00:05:56.300 we can't investigate the obstruction of justice

00:05:58.900 by Justin Trudeau because,

00:06:01.460 well, he's obstructing our investigation

00:06:03.680 into obstruction,

00:06:04.760 so what can you do?

00:06:07.120 Oh, well, better throw in the towel

00:06:09.660 because the election is here

00:06:12.300 and we sure wouldn't want to embarrass a liberal.

00:06:15.180 Is that a rule?

00:06:17.540 The RCMP made a huge prosecution

00:06:20.100 out of Conservative Senator Mike Duffy

00:06:22.400 over his expense account,

00:06:24.340 which was paid back

00:06:25.740 by the Conservative Chief of Staff,

00:06:27.240 Nigel Wright, by the way.

00:06:28.120 And by the way,

00:06:30.240 it was all permitted

00:06:30.820 under the Senate's vague expensing rules,

00:06:32.840 and in the end,

00:06:34.240 Duffy was acquitted.

00:06:35.060 He was acquitted.

00:06:36.000 So the RCMP didn't seem to have a problem

00:06:37.920 with a year-long fishing expedition

00:06:39.800 when nothing was at stake.

00:06:40.980 Nigel Wright paid the money back

00:06:42.620 that was in question,

00:06:43.340 even though in the end,

00:06:44.020 the law was broken,

00:06:45.380 and it was over 90 grand in travel expenses,

00:06:47.560 but firing the Attorney General

00:06:49.780 as Justin Trudeau did

00:06:50.640 because she wouldn't cave in

00:06:51.700 to a massive campaign

00:06:53.460 of illegal pressure

00:06:54.300 from Trudeau and his cronies

00:06:55.620 to call off a criminal prosecution

00:06:57.640 of a corrupt company

00:06:58.560 known for bribing politicians

00:07:00.360 in Canada and around the world

00:07:01.540 and then obstructing

00:07:02.800 the investigation in that scandal.

00:07:05.080 Yeah, welcome to the Libranos.

00:07:07.360 Even more corrupt

00:07:08.500 than Christian and Paul Martin liberals

00:07:10.200 if you can even think that's possible.

00:07:13.100 You know my new book comes out today?

00:07:15.260 It's called The Libranos,

00:07:16.880 What the Media Won't Tell You

00:07:17.880 About Justin Trudeau's Corruption.

00:07:20.120 I'll be honest,

00:07:20.700 months ago when we were deciding

00:07:21.840 what focus to take,

00:07:22.900 I thought,

00:07:23.460 is corruption really the main thing

00:07:25.540 or is it more his incompetence

00:07:27.420 or is it how Trudeau's so fake?

00:07:29.680 He's an imposter. 0.95

00:07:30.560 He's a fake feminist, for example. 1.00

00:07:32.480 We chose corruption,

00:07:33.440 the Libranos theme,

00:07:34.800 and holy cow, 1.00

00:07:36.060 were we ever right.

00:07:37.300 But back to that front page

00:07:39.280 of the Globe for a moment.

00:07:40.420 Ottawa blocks RCMP.

00:07:42.940 That was the big headline.

00:07:43.960 Well, not really.

00:07:45.100 I mean, I've lived in Ottawa.

00:07:46.360 It's a pleasant city

00:07:47.200 of about a million people

00:07:48.220 on the Ottawa River

00:07:49.540 just across from Quebec.

00:07:50.700 Nice place,

00:07:51.260 lots of museums,

00:07:52.600 lots of bureaucrats,

00:07:53.800 easy living,

00:07:54.580 easy living.

00:07:56.540 Ottawa didn't block anything.

00:07:58.260 Why are you blaming the city?

00:08:00.080 The city didn't blame anything.

00:08:01.580 Why are you blaming them?

00:08:04.240 Justin Trudeau

00:08:05.200 blocked the RCMP,

00:08:07.420 not Ottawa.

00:08:08.820 Now, sure,

00:08:09.340 they quoted the Prime Minister's office

00:08:10.720 as saying

00:08:11.400 that the Clerk of the Privy Council

00:08:13.040 blocked the RCMP.

00:08:14.200 Well, he's just a staffer

00:08:16.220 who reports to Trudeau.

00:08:18.680 He's an assistant.

00:08:20.900 Handpicked by Trudeau himself.

00:08:22.260 I wouldn't even say his name.

00:08:23.220 He's so inconsequential.

00:08:24.280 It would be like saying,

00:08:25.580 Justin Trudeau's office receptionist

00:08:27.540 blocked the RCMP

00:08:28.660 and wouldn't let them in.

00:08:30.320 The lady who answers the phone.

00:08:33.300 Trudeau's two nannies

00:08:34.840 blocked the RCMP,

00:08:36.140 so they bravely gave up.

00:08:37.700 Hey, guys,

00:08:39.860 we really did want to exercise this,

00:08:42.520 execute this search warrant

00:08:43.540 against Trudeau,

00:08:44.120 but the nannies won't let us in,

00:08:45.800 so what can you do?

00:08:47.880 Yeah, the nannies are blocking us. 1.00

00:08:49.400 No, no, no,

00:08:50.460 Trudeau is blocking the RCMP.

00:08:52.220 Remember the last Clerk

00:08:53.000 of the Privy Council,

00:08:54.220 the disgraced Michael Wernick?

00:08:56.620 He was up to his eyeballs

00:08:57.660 in this SNC-Lavalin scandal himself.

00:08:59.880 He actually took a phone call

00:09:01.080 from SNC-Lavalin

00:09:02.760 who hired his predecessor Clerk

00:09:06.100 of the Privy Council

00:09:06.840 to lobby him.

00:09:08.700 And Michael Wernick

00:09:09.840 didn't report that lobbying

00:09:11.280 to the lobbying commissioner.

00:09:12.620 He kept it a secret

00:09:13.580 even though it was illegal.

00:09:15.800 Let me say that again.

00:09:16.760 SNC-Lavalin hired

00:09:17.940 the former Clerk

00:09:19.500 of the Privy Council

00:09:20.340 to lobby Trudeau's current Clerk

00:09:23.140 of the Privy Council,

00:09:24.240 and he did.

00:09:26.480 And Trudeau's Clerk

00:09:27.480 kept that a secret

00:09:28.480 instead of disclosing it

00:09:29.640 or reporting that

00:09:30.840 to the lobbying commissioner.

00:09:31.980 You remember that kook?

00:09:32.920 Remember him?

00:09:34.120 I worry about the rising tide

00:09:36.040 of incitements to violence.

00:09:37.700 When people use terms

00:09:39.340 like treason and traitor

00:09:40.800 in open discourse,

00:09:42.080 those are the words

00:09:43.020 that lead to assassination.

00:09:44.700 I'm worried that somebody

00:09:45.520 is going to be shot

00:09:46.200 in this country this year

00:09:47.160 during the political campaign.

00:09:49.820 What a disgraceful,

00:09:51.300 disgraceful man.

00:09:52.580 He really was a kook. 0.92

00:09:54.340 Well, the new guy

00:09:54.960 is just as much

00:09:55.760 in Trudeau's pocket,

00:09:56.700 but a little bit less

00:09:57.900 unhinged in public.

00:09:59.260 He's got some

00:09:59.860 emotional self-control.

00:10:02.320 Ottawa didn't block

00:10:04.180 the RCMP.

00:10:05.240 Trudeau's hand-picked servant

00:10:06.960 blocked it

00:10:07.820 at Trudeau's request.

00:10:09.100 We know that Trudeau

00:10:09.900 has been obstructing

00:10:10.960 this for months

00:10:11.420 because he's guilty as hell. 0.61

00:10:13.600 That is not my opinion.

00:10:14.800 That is the opinion

00:10:15.520 and conclusion

00:10:16.740 and conviction

00:10:17.460 of Mario Dion,

00:10:19.240 the ethics commissioner

00:10:20.200 and conflict of interest

00:10:21.020 commissioner.

00:10:21.520 Trudeau calls him a judge

00:10:22.500 who convicted Trudeau

00:10:24.540 of his fifth violation

00:10:26.180 of the Conflict of Interest Act

00:10:27.800 last month.

00:10:28.520 No other Canadian 1.00

00:10:29.860 prime minister

00:10:30.340 has been convicted

00:10:31.080 of breaking the law

00:10:31.700 even once in history.

00:10:33.620 Trudeau, five times now.

00:10:35.640 And yet, even Mario Dion

00:10:36.740 says he didn't know

00:10:37.720 the half of it.

00:10:39.140 In his report,

00:10:39.980 Dion said he wasn't allowed

00:10:41.700 to get to the bottom of it

00:10:42.580 because there were

00:10:43.080 nine witnesses

00:10:45.100 informed our office

00:10:46.520 that they had information

00:10:47.400 they believed to be relevant,

00:10:48.540 but that could not be disclosed

00:10:49.560 because according to them,

00:10:50.360 the information would reveal

00:10:51.180 confidence.

00:10:52.940 So Trudeau banned them

00:10:55.160 from talking to him,

00:10:56.780 ordered them not to talk

00:10:58.060 to him.

00:10:58.600 Now, Dion is a toothless tiger.

00:11:00.120 All he could do

00:11:00.800 was write about it,

00:11:01.920 which he did well,

00:11:03.060 but the RCMP,

00:11:05.020 what's their excuse?

00:11:07.000 They have the power

00:11:07.600 to get a search warrant

00:11:08.340 for any document,

00:11:09.900 to get a subpoena

00:11:10.660 for any witness.

00:11:12.400 Just because Trudeau

00:11:13.160 claims something

00:11:13.920 is subject to

00:11:14.500 cabinet confidentiality

00:11:15.560 doesn't mean that it's immune

00:11:16.920 to criminal prosecution.

00:11:18.700 To use an extreme example,

00:11:20.240 if there,

00:11:21.420 God forbid,

00:11:22.380 were a cabinet meeting

00:11:23.660 to order the murder

00:11:24.980 of someone,

00:11:26.240 I know that's extreme,

00:11:27.180 but I'm trying

00:11:27.580 to make a point.

00:11:28.780 And if that person

00:11:29.500 was then murdered,

00:11:31.280 the prime minister

00:11:32.020 couldn't block the RCMP

00:11:33.360 by saying,

00:11:34.360 gee, sorry,

00:11:35.060 it's all confidential.

00:11:36.020 You can't talk to anyone

00:11:37.160 or get any documents

00:11:38.040 because what can I say?

00:11:39.560 Cabinet privilege.

00:11:40.820 That's an absurd example,

00:11:41.980 but the essence

00:11:42.500 is the same.

00:11:43.600 Police have the right

00:11:44.500 to investigate any crime

00:11:46.140 and they have the duty

00:11:47.440 to do so also.

00:11:49.400 And if there are

00:11:50.280 genuinely confidential matters

00:11:51.560 that cannot be shown

00:11:52.680 to the public at large,

00:11:53.500 that's fine.

00:11:55.140 Those documents

00:11:55.740 can be handled

00:11:56.360 confidentially,

00:11:58.540 kept from the public.

00:11:59.760 They can be withheld

00:12:00.420 from the media.

00:12:01.580 There can be publication

00:12:02.460 bans on certain facts.

00:12:03.860 Documents can be blacked out.

00:12:05.920 But there is no reason

00:12:07.000 why police officers

00:12:07.940 with top secret clearance

00:12:09.380 cannot see any material.

00:12:11.160 They have an oath

00:12:11.720 to conduct themselves lawfully.

00:12:12.920 They're not going to

00:12:13.280 leak to the media.

00:12:14.060 That's what Trudeau does,

00:12:15.460 not the cops.

00:12:16.440 So why haven't the RCMP

00:12:19.460 moved on Trudeau

00:12:20.200 or even just moved

00:12:20.900 to interview the nine witnesses

00:12:21.920 that Mario Dion says

00:12:23.360 wanted to talk

00:12:24.220 but have been banned

00:12:25.100 from talking?

00:12:25.960 Why has the RCMP

00:12:26.900 taken this all in stride?

00:12:28.740 Even as the corrupt

00:12:30.060 Lebrano,

00:12:31.400 Gerald Butts,

00:12:32.020 has come back

00:12:32.780 to run the show.

00:12:33.740 Butts resigned

00:12:34.300 from the PMO

00:12:35.080 in disgrace this spring,

00:12:36.780 trying to be

00:12:37.380 the scapegoat of it.

00:12:38.860 That is an implicit

00:12:39.700 admission of wrongdoing.

00:12:41.420 And then he just decided,

00:12:42.780 nah, who cares?

00:12:45.200 I mean, obviously,

00:12:45.840 he's pretty, pretty confident

00:12:47.300 the cops are on a leash.

00:12:48.600 He wouldn't come back

00:12:49.460 from New York

00:12:50.360 where he was working.

00:12:51.700 Otherwise,

00:12:52.200 the whole thing

00:12:52.600 is very strange.

00:12:54.320 This isn't even

00:12:54.960 a partisan thing anymore.

00:12:56.100 Here's a letter

00:12:56.560 from five former

00:12:57.740 Canadian attorneys general

00:12:58.920 asking the RCMP

00:13:00.200 to investigate.

00:13:00.920 There are others too,

00:13:01.600 including the former

00:13:02.360 Liberal Attorney General

00:13:03.620 of Ontario.

00:13:04.280 They've all said

00:13:04.880 the RCMP

00:13:05.520 needs to investigate,

00:13:07.120 but the RCMP won't.

00:13:09.020 Why not?

00:13:09.700 Why not?

00:13:11.180 They went for a year or two

00:13:12.580 on Mike Duffy's rent expenses,

00:13:13.940 but not on this massive

00:13:15.080 deep corruption scandal

00:13:17.020 that the justice,

00:13:18.640 former Justice Minister

00:13:19.400 Jody Wilson-Raybould

00:13:20.120 herself says is a scandal.

00:13:21.520 Why not?

00:13:23.400 Well, you know why.

00:13:26.700 Or maybe you don't know.

00:13:27.600 Here's some images

00:13:28.300 that we'll explain.

00:13:30.680 That smitten lady 0.99

00:13:31.840 who's hugging

00:13:32.540 and kissing Trudeau,

00:13:34.480 that embracer, 0.76

00:13:35.660 that's Brenda Luckey,

00:13:38.020 Trudeau's hand-picked

00:13:39.120 RCMP commissioner.

00:13:40.500 Here's how the CBC

00:13:42.600 described her last year.

00:13:44.220 She's a diversity hire.

00:13:46.120 Luckey,

00:13:47.080 a 32-year veteran of the force,

00:13:48.640 has been serving

00:13:49.220 as the commanding officer

00:13:50.380 of the RCMP's

00:13:51.140 training academy

00:13:52.040 in Saskatchewan,

00:13:52.820 where she was focused

00:13:53.720 on bolstering diversity

00:13:55.320 in the ranks.

00:13:56.580 She has served

00:13:57.140 at divisions in Quebec,

00:13:58.380 Ontario, Manitoba,

00:13:59.260 Alberta, Saskatchewan,

00:14:00.540 worked with the United Nations.

00:14:02.620 Hmm.

00:14:03.080 Perfect.

00:14:04.280 Perfect.

00:14:05.000 Chef's kiss.

00:14:06.020 That's a perfect

00:14:06.900 Trudeau cop,

00:14:07.760 ain't she?

00:14:08.180 So she was appointed

00:14:09.420 to the RCMP

00:14:10.180 by Trudeau

00:14:12.120 at the same time

00:14:13.160 that the battle

00:14:13.700 between Trudeau

00:14:14.600 and Jody Wilson-Raybould

00:14:15.620 was heating up.

00:14:17.460 Trudeau appointed Luckey

00:14:19.400 to be his good luck charm.

00:14:22.660 She's the insurance policy

00:14:25.500 for him.

00:14:25.940 That's why he picked her.

00:14:27.700 That was in 2018.

00:14:31.140 But by the time

00:14:32.120 Canada Day 2019

00:14:34.140 came around,

00:14:35.380 just a few months ago,

00:14:36.880 when that hugging

00:14:37.440 and kissing happened,

00:14:39.400 everything had already

00:14:40.100 exploded in the story.

00:14:42.120 Luckey had already

00:14:42.800 received the letter

00:14:43.400 from the Attorney's General.

00:14:44.680 Trudeau was being

00:14:45.200 investigated by

00:14:45.840 the ethics commissioner.

00:14:48.000 And it was there

00:14:49.100 and then that Luckey

00:14:50.020 met Trudeau

00:14:50.700 and embraced her.

00:14:52.060 And she embraced him

00:14:53.180 right back.

00:14:54.000 And they were both

00:14:54.520 in public.

00:14:54.960 You know,

00:14:55.120 that's Trudeau's move.

00:14:56.680 Embrace a woman

00:14:57.400 in public

00:14:57.880 in a place where

00:14:58.620 if she were to recoil,

00:15:00.240 it would make a scene. 0.69

00:15:02.060 So it sort of locks her in.

00:15:03.620 He's counting on her,

00:15:04.460 not resisting.

00:15:05.220 Or maybe she was happy to.

00:15:06.360 I think Luckey loved

00:15:07.980 the embrace too.

00:15:08.820 Maybe like Rosemary Barton 0.98

00:15:10.660 of the CBC,

00:15:11.720 she loves Trudeau

00:15:13.540 and enjoys her time 0.93

00:15:15.560 with him very much

00:15:17.300 and, I don't know,

00:15:18.380 thinks of it as some sort

00:15:19.340 of platonic date

00:15:20.280 or something.

00:15:22.320 Luckey's not going to

00:15:23.340 investigate her

00:15:24.060 platonic boyfriend.

00:15:25.040 Are you kidding?

00:15:26.420 Look at that.

00:15:27.140 Just one last time.

00:15:28.880 That's the head

00:15:29.460 of the RCMP,

00:15:30.840 handpicked by Trudeau

00:15:31.940 in July.

00:15:32.640 The camera

00:15:34.940 that shot's in July,

00:15:36.020 well after the SNC-Lavalin

00:15:37.380 scandal broke.

00:15:39.400 You know,

00:15:39.740 Donald Trump

00:15:40.220 did not collude

00:15:41.000 with the Russians.

00:15:42.800 That's the former,

00:15:43.920 that's a formal result

00:15:45.140 of an inquiry

00:15:46.640 of, I don't know,

00:15:47.540 two years,

00:15:48.240 hundreds of subpoenas

00:15:49.140 issued,

00:15:50.160 hundreds of interrogations

00:15:51.440 under oath.

00:15:52.500 They found nothing

00:15:53.220 and oh,

00:15:53.580 were they hunting

00:15:54.180 a team of,

00:15:54.760 what,

00:15:55.220 two dozen lawyers,

00:15:56.100 all of them Democrats?

00:15:57.580 That's how the most

00:15:58.240 powerful man in the world

00:15:59.340 was held to account.

00:16:00.480 In Canada,

00:16:02.440 our head of the RCMP

00:16:03.700 gives our prime minister

00:16:04.740 a hug and a kiss

00:16:05.700 and his assistant,

00:16:08.160 his clerk,

00:16:08.780 his nanny

00:16:10.060 tells the RCMP,

00:16:11.360 I'm so sorry,

00:16:12.760 Trudeau can't come

00:16:13.560 to the phone right now.

00:16:14.880 He's busy.

00:16:15.680 Can we talk

00:16:16.220 after the election?

00:16:18.560 And in Canada,

00:16:19.280 the RCMP accepts it.

00:16:20.960 Obviously,

00:16:21.960 Trudeau's CBC State

00:16:23.060 broadcaster

00:16:23.640 will accept it too.

00:16:26.260 The question

00:16:27.220 we'll all find out

00:16:28.440 is,

00:16:28.920 will voters

00:16:30.620 accept this?

00:16:33.160 Stay with us

00:16:34.040 for more

00:16:34.480 on the election.

00:16:49.080 And welcome back.

00:16:50.780 Well,

00:16:51.220 joining us now

00:16:52.440 live

00:16:53.300 from Rideau Hall

00:16:54.420 where the election

00:16:55.400 writ was just

00:16:56.740 dropped

00:16:57.080 is our friend

00:16:58.120 David Menzies.

00:16:59.140 David,

00:16:59.400 nice to see you.

00:17:00.640 Is that where you are?

00:17:01.760 Are you outside

00:17:02.380 of Rideau Hall

00:17:02.960 right now?

00:17:04.420 I am indeed,

00:17:05.360 Ezra,

00:17:05.660 and I'm considerably

00:17:06.580 closer to Rideau Hall

00:17:08.380 than I was

00:17:09.580 a half hour ago

00:17:11.000 when Prime Minister Trudeau

00:17:12.500 was making his announcement

00:17:13.580 because,

00:17:14.380 as you may or may not know,

00:17:16.740 of the more than

00:17:17.900 100 media types here,

00:17:19.740 I was the only one

00:17:21.200 pinpointed

00:17:22.460 by security

00:17:23.680 and the Parliamentary

00:17:24.900 Press Gallery

00:17:25.860 person

00:17:26.340 and the

00:17:27.040 Rideau Hall

00:17:27.720 public affairs

00:17:28.920 person

00:17:29.400 and told

00:17:30.460 that I had

00:17:31.500 to go

00:17:31.960 to the

00:17:32.840 public

00:17:33.560 viewing area

00:17:34.420 which had

00:17:35.500 no video,

00:17:36.500 no audio,

00:17:37.740 and I had to

00:17:39.100 stand with

00:17:39.440 members of the public.

00:17:40.620 Not that I mind

00:17:41.200 doing that,

00:17:41.860 but it just

00:17:42.620 completely impeded

00:17:44.200 my role

00:17:45.120 in doing my job

00:17:46.340 in covering

00:17:46.820 this announcement,

00:17:48.420 which of course

00:17:49.100 I think was

00:17:50.000 the ostensible

00:17:50.560 policy reason,

00:17:52.160 i.e.

00:17:53.180 to enact

00:17:53.720 a little bit

00:17:54.160 of petty revenge

00:17:55.040 on the rebel media

00:17:56.300 for our

00:17:57.040 critical coverage

00:17:58.400 of this regime

00:17:59.500 in the last four years.

00:18:00.860 Yeah, you know,

00:18:01.740 I note that

00:18:02.780 Xinhua,

00:18:04.020 which is,

00:18:04.820 as you can tell

00:18:05.540 by the name,

00:18:06.140 a Chinese

00:18:06.840 state broadcaster,

00:18:08.800 they are fully

00:18:09.820 accredited

00:18:10.600 by the Parliamentary

00:18:11.980 Press Gallery

00:18:12.640 and Justin Trudeau.

00:18:13.880 So,

00:18:14.380 literally a

00:18:15.580 Communist Party

00:18:16.620 propaganda outlet

00:18:17.780 that is in no way

00:18:18.960 a journalist

00:18:19.900 stick outfit

00:18:20.460 at all.

00:18:21.140 In fact,

00:18:21.900 they've been

00:18:22.300 credibly accused

00:18:23.540 of being

00:18:23.940 Chinese spies.

00:18:25.980 They're good enough

00:18:26.980 for the Parliamentary

00:18:27.720 Press Gallery

00:18:28.240 and Justin Trudeau,

00:18:29.420 but not the rebel.

00:18:30.760 And you're so

00:18:31.440 accurate for pointing

00:18:32.740 out why.

00:18:33.620 It's because we

00:18:34.380 criticize Trudeau

00:18:35.480 in a way that

00:18:35.920 the other media

00:18:36.420 don't.

00:18:39.380 I think that

00:18:40.420 shows how small

00:18:42.040 Trudeau is

00:18:42.660 and how thin-skinned

00:18:43.560 he is,

00:18:44.000 but it also shows

00:18:45.120 how compliant

00:18:46.220 Canada's media

00:18:48.320 are.

00:18:48.960 And I think

00:18:49.720 it proves

00:18:50.700 my thesis

00:18:51.520 that we need

00:18:52.820 to tell the

00:18:53.340 other side

00:18:53.760 of the story

00:18:54.220 because you're

00:18:55.160 certainly not

00:18:55.640 going to find

00:18:56.180 it amongst

00:18:57.060 the bailout

00:18:57.760 media,

00:18:58.260 the Justin

00:18:58.820 Journos,

00:18:59.660 as I sometimes

00:19:00.400 call them,

00:19:01.280 who are on his

00:19:01.880 payroll.

00:19:02.420 I mean,

00:19:02.740 I suppose you

00:19:03.520 can't blame a

00:19:04.240 guy for not

00:19:05.460 wanting to attack

00:19:06.240 his boss.

00:19:07.020 And about 95%

00:19:08.940 of the journalists

00:19:09.600 in Canada are

00:19:10.700 now directly or

00:19:11.760 indirectly on

00:19:12.660 Justin Trudeau's

00:19:13.360 payroll.

00:19:13.640 I guess it's

00:19:14.600 tough to criticize

00:19:15.360 the guy who puts

00:19:16.100 bread on your

00:19:16.640 family's table.

00:19:17.980 But they

00:19:18.480 shouldn't call

00:19:18.960 themselves reporters

00:19:19.860 then.

00:19:20.160 They should call

00:19:20.540 themselves government

00:19:21.820 reporters or,

00:19:23.140 you know,

00:19:24.260 sponsored reporters

00:19:26.060 or liberal

00:19:26.760 reporters.

00:19:27.600 But if you're

00:19:28.360 taking money

00:19:28.780 from Trudeau

00:19:29.500 and helping to

00:19:30.560 blackball the 0.93

00:19:31.260 one company

00:19:31.840 that isn't,

00:19:32.880 I don't think

00:19:33.340 you can call

00:19:33.780 yourself a

00:19:34.240 reporter without

00:19:34.800 a qualifying

00:19:36.240 adjective in

00:19:37.180 front of that.

00:19:38.680 Yeah,

00:19:39.260 and I agree

00:19:39.840 with that

00:19:40.180 entirely,

00:19:40.840 and to give

00:19:42.120 credit where

00:19:42.520 credit is due,

00:19:43.320 there are some

00:19:43.920 journalists with

00:19:44.700 some of these

00:19:45.100 media organizations

00:19:46.000 that are dead

00:19:48.120 set against

00:19:49.280 taking this

00:19:50.260 money as part

00:19:51.840 of a bailout

00:19:52.480 based on those

00:19:53.520 ethical concerns

00:19:54.420 that you just

00:19:55.460 adroitly mentioned.

00:19:57.300 But clearly,

00:19:58.400 this is where

00:19:59.280 the media is

00:20:00.140 with the

00:20:00.840 Trudeau liberals

00:20:01.840 in 2019.

00:20:03.480 I call it,

00:20:04.560 Ezra,

00:20:05.140 it's the carrot

00:20:05.840 or the stick.

00:20:07.060 It's be compliant,

00:20:09.040 be good,

00:20:09.760 don't be too

00:20:10.420 critical,

00:20:11.180 and the check

00:20:12.000 is in the mail,

00:20:12.660 or be like

00:20:14.840 Rebel Media

00:20:15.480 and you're

00:20:16.500 sent to the

00:20:17.460 little kids

00:20:18.020 table.

00:20:18.680 You are cut

00:20:19.400 off from

00:20:20.060 access,

00:20:21.420 and so

00:20:21.760 what's it

00:20:22.020 going to be?

00:20:22.540 The hard

00:20:23.100 way or

00:20:24.040 the easy

00:20:24.540 way?

00:20:25.280 And listen,

00:20:25.980 media jobs

00:20:26.920 are few and

00:20:27.540 far between

00:20:28.020 these days.

00:20:28.880 It's basically

00:20:30.020 a sunset

00:20:30.560 industry,

00:20:31.280 if you will.

00:20:32.120 So I don't

00:20:33.160 think there

00:20:34.220 is a,

00:20:34.920 you know,

00:20:36.480 there is a

00:20:37.240 compulsion

00:20:38.520 amongst many

00:20:39.380 journalists to

00:20:40.080 rock the boat

00:20:41.000 too much

00:20:41.900 because if it

00:20:42.940 means,

00:20:43.480 you know,

00:20:44.820 economic

00:20:45.280 penalization

00:20:46.120 by way of

00:20:47.000 you losing

00:20:48.040 your job,

00:20:48.960 there's not

00:20:49.580 a lot of

00:20:49.980 opportunities

00:20:50.660 out there.

00:20:51.600 The second

00:20:51.880 thing I want

00:20:52.300 to say,

00:20:52.980 Ezra,

00:20:53.360 when you

00:20:54.020 mentioned

00:20:54.480 the pettiness,

00:20:56.580 is that

00:20:57.520 how self-defeating

00:20:59.000 this is.

00:21:00.200 I think

00:21:01.200 Trudeau is

00:21:03.020 a bit of

00:21:03.380 an egomaniac,

00:21:04.780 and I have

00:21:05.480 no doubt

00:21:05.960 this is being

00:21:06.840 directed by

00:21:07.920 him,

00:21:08.460 much as

00:21:09.180 how our

00:21:10.420 own Sheila

00:21:10.920 Gunn-Reed

00:21:11.520 was banned

00:21:12.960 from going

00:21:13.360 to a

00:21:13.640 UN conference

00:21:14.280 in Poland.

00:21:15.780 Myself and

00:21:16.380 my cameraman

00:21:16.900 were banned

00:21:17.840 from going

00:21:18.760 to one

00:21:19.240 in Morocco.

00:21:20.760 Our own

00:21:21.160 Canadian

00:21:21.460 government

00:21:21.820 told the

00:21:22.420 UN not

00:21:23.120 to let us

00:21:23.660 in.

00:21:24.140 And here's

00:21:24.520 the thing,

00:21:25.160 much like

00:21:25.700 those stories,

00:21:27.120 if they had

00:21:27.820 just let me

00:21:29.100 join the

00:21:30.340 scrum of

00:21:31.480 more than

00:21:32.460 100 journalists

00:21:33.240 here today,

00:21:33.880 earlier today,

00:21:34.440 I should say,

00:21:35.640 I'm just a

00:21:37.240 face in the

00:21:37.820 crowd,

00:21:38.160 I'm harmless,

00:21:38.700 I wasn't going

00:21:39.080 to do any

00:21:39.440 kind of stunt,

00:21:40.180 I wasn't going

00:21:40.800 to do anything

00:21:41.260 embarrassing,

00:21:42.100 but instead,

00:21:43.420 I get frog

00:21:44.480 marched out

00:21:45.500 to the

00:21:46.320 public area

00:21:47.640 and sequestered

00:21:48.760 and kept

00:21:49.800 a very keen

00:21:50.700 eye on

00:21:51.180 by security,

00:21:52.400 and that

00:21:53.120 becomes the

00:21:54.420 story,

00:21:54.960 and the story

00:21:55.520 isn't good,

00:21:56.520 Ezra.

00:21:57.000 The optics

00:21:57.660 are brutal

00:21:58.580 for a government

00:21:59.560 that came to

00:22:00.220 power in

00:22:00.700 2015,

00:22:01.940 remember,

00:22:02.720 transparency,

00:22:04.000 that was,

00:22:04.420 he was always

00:22:04.900 saying transparency,

00:22:05.920 and sunny ways,

00:22:07.140 sunny ways,

00:22:07.580 well,

00:22:08.160 my friend,

00:22:08.880 these are

00:22:09.240 slimy ways.

00:22:10.200 Yeah,

00:22:10.460 well,

00:22:11.000 listen,

00:22:11.420 if they're

00:22:12.180 willing to

00:22:12.860 tell the

00:22:13.580 RCMP

00:22:14.200 to buzz

00:22:15.800 off

00:22:16.240 over their

00:22:18.160 criminal

00:22:18.540 investigation

00:22:19.280 for obstruction,

00:22:20.520 obviously,

00:22:21.140 they don't have

00:22:21.640 any compunction

00:22:22.320 about telling

00:22:23.000 a journalist

00:22:23.720 to buzz

00:22:24.540 off.

00:22:25.040 You say

00:22:25.560 it looks

00:22:26.060 awful,

00:22:26.480 I think

00:22:26.720 it does

00:22:27.080 look awful

00:22:27.620 to severely

00:22:28.180 normal

00:22:28.540 Canadians,

00:22:29.520 but it

00:22:30.580 has a

00:22:31.140 salutary

00:22:31.720 effect,

00:22:32.540 because it's

00:22:33.040 a warning

00:22:33.520 to other

00:22:34.040 journalists,

00:22:34.520 don't you

00:22:35.940 dare

00:22:36.240 criticize

00:22:36.840 Trudeau,

00:22:37.360 or you

00:22:37.860 too will

00:22:38.640 be escorted

00:22:39.260 out by

00:22:39.720 security.

00:22:40.980 So yeah,

00:22:41.680 it's deeply

00:22:42.500 embarrassing to

00:22:43.180 Trudeau,

00:22:43.800 to Canadians

00:22:44.300 who say,

00:22:44.740 hang on,

00:22:45.020 I thought we

00:22:45.400 had freedom

00:22:45.820 of the press,

00:22:46.360 but for

00:22:47.360 anyone who

00:22:48.040 works at

00:22:48.300 the CBC

00:22:48.840 or the rest

00:22:49.700 of the

00:22:49.960 bailout

00:22:50.340 media,

00:22:51.040 it's,

00:22:51.440 oh,

00:22:52.140 right,

00:22:53.280 those are

00:22:54.000 the rebel

00:22:54.560 media guys,

00:22:55.560 those guys

00:22:56.080 didn't take

00:22:56.580 the bailout,

00:22:57.620 those guys

00:22:58.100 criticized

00:22:58.660 Trudeau,

00:22:59.240 I don't

00:22:59.600 want that

00:22:59.940 to happen

00:23:00.300 to me,

00:23:00.880 I'll just

00:23:01.380 write another

00:23:02.000 story about

00:23:02.620 his awesome

00:23:03.340 socks and

00:23:04.160 how,

00:23:04.520 cool he

00:23:05.400 is.

00:23:06.700 And you

00:23:07.380 know,

00:23:07.560 the funny

00:23:08.020 thing is,

00:23:08.700 there was

00:23:09.240 a Bell

00:23:10.480 Media fellow

00:23:11.960 who was

00:23:12.280 briefly filming

00:23:13.800 my interaction

00:23:14.600 with the

00:23:15.180 Parliamentary

00:23:15.900 Press Gallery

00:23:17.000 fellow,

00:23:17.560 Pierre,

00:23:18.460 and I

00:23:19.340 reached out

00:23:19.740 to him,

00:23:20.100 and I

00:23:20.300 reached out

00:23:20.720 later to

00:23:21.260 a CTV

00:23:21.840 camera crew,

00:23:23.220 and basically

00:23:24.560 I was hoping

00:23:25.180 for some

00:23:26.040 of the love

00:23:26.520 you got

00:23:27.180 in the

00:23:27.620 UK a

00:23:29.220 couple of

00:23:29.560 months ago

00:23:30.080 when,

00:23:31.760 remember,

00:23:32.480 you were

00:23:32.980 going to be

00:23:33.380 excluded

00:23:33.920 from a

00:23:37.480 Chrysia

00:23:37.820 Freeland

00:23:38.380 powwow,

00:23:40.040 and shockingly

00:23:41.380 and surprisingly,

00:23:42.820 members of the

00:23:43.820 media basically

00:23:44.660 stood up and

00:23:45.560 said,

00:23:46.320 no,

00:23:46.980 no,

00:23:47.080 no,

00:23:47.340 it's all

00:23:47.820 of us

00:23:48.180 or none

00:23:48.880 of us.

00:23:49.300 I don't

00:23:49.640 know if

00:23:49.900 that was

00:23:50.380 a statistical

00:23:51.740 anomaly,

00:23:52.560 Ezra,

00:23:53.260 or if really

00:23:55.020 the new

00:23:56.240 normal or

00:23:56.840 the new

00:23:57.180 abnormal is

00:23:58.180 don't get

00:23:59.400 involved,

00:23:59.940 we don't want

00:24:00.320 to get

00:24:00.560 on Trudeau's

00:24:01.660 media

00:24:02.120 blacklist.

00:24:03.100 Yeah,

00:24:03.280 well,

00:24:03.700 you know,

00:24:04.000 it's funny

00:24:04.340 because when

00:24:04.700 I was in

00:24:05.580 Ottawa myself

00:24:06.300 a few weeks

00:24:06.840 ago for

00:24:07.720 the meeting

00:24:08.140 between

00:24:08.480 Chrysia Freeland

00:24:09.280 and Secretary

00:24:10.420 of State Mike

00:24:10.940 Pompeo,

00:24:11.920 I was smuggled

00:24:13.540 into that press

00:24:14.280 conference by

00:24:15.220 Secretary Pompeo,

00:24:16.480 which is quite

00:24:17.600 something.

00:24:18.660 I met with the

00:24:19.660 president of the

00:24:20.600 press gallery who

00:24:21.240 was there,

00:24:21.780 and he was quite

00:24:22.360 upset to see me

00:24:23.060 there,

00:24:23.280 and we had a

00:24:23.700 good pleasant

00:24:24.200 talk,

00:24:24.920 and he said,

00:24:25.420 send me an

00:24:25.780 email,

00:24:26.220 let's continue

00:24:27.000 the conversation.

00:24:27.940 I did send

00:24:28.500 an email,

00:24:28.840 I don't think

00:24:29.460 I've heard back,

00:24:30.040 I'll check again,

00:24:31.060 make sure I didn't

00:24:31.720 miss the email.

00:24:32.680 I blame them.

00:24:34.780 There is no

00:24:35.620 longer a dividing

00:24:36.540 line.

00:24:36.920 I mean,

00:24:37.300 obviously Trudeau

00:24:38.460 is the one

00:24:39.100 who has most

00:24:40.900 of the blame,

00:24:41.620 but the media

00:24:42.300 went along with

00:24:43.140 it,

00:24:43.320 and they're

00:24:43.580 continuing to

00:24:44.180 go along with

00:24:44.900 it,

00:24:45.480 and you mentioned

00:24:46.900 an incident in

00:24:47.680 London,

00:24:48.580 an anomaly where

00:24:49.780 they stood with

00:24:50.360 us.

00:24:50.780 I think that's

00:24:51.200 probably because

00:24:51.760 those reporters 0.87

00:24:52.640 were overseas

00:24:53.820 reporters who

00:24:54.480 aren't part of

00:24:55.100 the rebel

00:24:55.960 derangement

00:24:56.600 syndrome here in

00:24:57.540 Canada.

00:24:57.820 I think that

00:24:59.280 it's a great

00:25:00.140 discredit to

00:25:01.500 Canada's

00:25:02.060 parliamentary press

00:25:02.780 gallery where

00:25:03.220 there is no

00:25:03.900 dividing line

00:25:05.020 between them

00:25:05.720 and the

00:25:06.880 government anymore,

00:25:08.360 and Xinhua,

00:25:10.020 the Chinese

00:25:10.460 propaganda firm,

00:25:11.880 is welcome,

00:25:13.360 but independent

00:25:14.020 journalists are

00:25:14.640 not.

00:25:15.400 I suppose I

00:25:16.200 shouldn't be too

00:25:16.840 mad though,

00:25:17.380 David,

00:25:17.640 because that is

00:25:18.360 exactly why the

00:25:19.180 rebel has

00:25:19.620 succeeded over

00:25:20.900 the last four

00:25:21.520 and a half

00:25:21.880 years,

00:25:22.200 because no one

00:25:22.840 can trust the

00:25:23.680 media party.

00:25:24.340 You just can't

00:25:25.540 trust someone who

00:25:26.760 is being paid

00:25:27.700 by the person

00:25:28.840 they're supposed

00:25:29.240 to be holding

00:25:29.700 to account.

00:25:30.380 If Justin

00:25:31.020 Trudeau is

00:25:31.420 paying you,

00:25:32.600 you can never

00:25:33.240 ask him a

00:25:33.660 tough question.

00:25:35.540 So people can

00:25:36.900 see that and

00:25:37.440 detect that.

00:25:37.960 That's why the

00:25:38.440 rebel is growing

00:25:39.640 in the CBC,

00:25:40.540 the national.

00:25:41.500 Their viewership

00:25:42.180 is at its

00:25:42.660 lowest in

00:25:43.460 decades.

00:25:44.160 On any given

00:25:44.940 day, we have

00:25:45.500 more viewers of

00:25:46.080 the rebel than

00:25:46.560 the CBC,

00:25:47.140 the national has.

00:25:47.820 That's a fact.

00:25:49.360 And I think

00:25:50.280 that's part of

00:25:50.960 the resentment

00:25:51.520 and maybe part

00:25:53.600 of the competitiveness,

00:25:55.260 Ezra, because

00:25:55.640 let's figure,

00:25:56.680 let's face it,

00:25:57.340 when you're

00:25:57.780 talking those

00:25:58.260 kind of numbers,

00:25:59.320 we are a

00:26:00.640 bona fide

00:26:01.220 competitor to

00:26:02.260 these media

00:26:02.760 organizations.

00:26:04.140 And so why

00:26:05.160 would you help

00:26:05.640 your competitor,

00:26:06.500 I guess?

00:26:07.020 But I want to

00:26:07.400 go back to

00:26:07.800 what you

00:26:08.060 mentioned,

00:26:08.880 the Parliamentary

00:26:10.040 Press Gallery.

00:26:11.220 Just by its

00:26:12.020 name alone,

00:26:13.320 Ezra,

00:26:14.040 Parliamentary

00:26:14.800 and Press Gallery,

00:26:16.020 you think this

00:26:16.980 is an organization

00:26:17.960 that would be

00:26:19.200 committed to

00:26:20.480 the ideals of

00:26:21.260 democracy and

00:26:22.180 the ideals of

00:26:23.020 freedom of the

00:26:23.520 press and freedom

00:26:24.200 of speech and

00:26:24.860 freedom of expression

00:26:25.760 by going to

00:26:26.780 back for a

00:26:27.600 journalist.

00:26:28.320 But they're

00:26:28.820 the ones

00:26:29.360 complicit in

00:26:31.420 banning us.

00:26:32.440 I only found

00:26:33.100 out that you

00:26:34.020 had to have

00:26:35.200 accreditations

00:26:36.180 from the

00:26:36.840 Parliamentary

00:26:37.400 Press Gallery

00:26:38.460 literally a few

00:26:40.420 hours.

00:26:41.240 I was literally

00:26:41.740 in transit from

00:26:42.640 Toronto coming to

00:26:43.460 Ottawa to cover

00:26:45.060 this.

00:26:46.120 But it's a moot

00:26:47.380 point because if

00:26:48.140 you remember,

00:26:49.100 Ezra, when I

00:26:49.740 went to Ottawa

00:26:51.200 to cover the

00:26:52.220 Justice Committee

00:26:52.940 hearings on

00:26:53.900 the Canadian

00:26:54.400 Human Rights

00:26:55.020 Act, you

00:26:55.840 know, this

00:26:56.120 whole idea of

00:26:56.800 resurrecting the

00:26:58.100 anti-free speech

00:26:59.360 pro-censorship

00:27:00.300 section, Section

00:27:01.380 13, that Stephen

00:27:02.900 Harper got rid of

00:27:03.780 in 2013, well, I

00:27:06.500 was denied those

00:27:07.760 parliamentary press

00:27:08.760 credentials that we

00:27:09.620 had applied for

00:27:10.240 the day before,

00:27:11.580 literally 10

00:27:13.100 minutes before the

00:27:14.880 committee hearing

00:27:15.580 was to begin.

00:27:17.200 So again, it's

00:27:18.360 this pettiness,

00:27:20.160 it's this level of

00:27:21.900 spite, and quite

00:27:23.220 frankly, it's

00:27:24.400 unprofessional.

00:27:25.380 Yeah.

00:27:25.740 And the obvious

00:27:26.720 point is, as you

00:27:27.360 mentioned earlier,

00:27:27.960 look, there's 100

00:27:28.580 journalists there.

00:27:29.920 It's not like there

00:27:31.200 was any meaningful

00:27:32.140 question and answer

00:27:33.200 session.

00:27:34.100 The most you would

00:27:34.980 do is have your

00:27:35.840 own camera pointing

00:27:36.940 at Trudeau.

00:27:38.460 We'll get that

00:27:39.320 footage anyways.

00:27:40.060 We subscribe to a

00:27:41.380 media pool, so

00:27:42.380 it in no way,

00:27:46.460 like, just nothing

00:27:47.620 turns on it, other

00:27:49.340 than they want to

00:27:51.120 show what happens

00:27:52.520 if you disagree.

00:27:53.480 And, you know, the

00:27:54.520 journalists who were

00:27:55.460 actually the errand

00:27:57.040 boys here, the

00:27:58.080 journalists running

00:27:58.740 the parliamentary

00:27:59.180 press gallery, they

00:28:00.920 may be saving their

00:28:02.020 own jobs, but they're

00:28:03.280 burying the industry.

00:28:05.320 And you know what?

00:28:05.780 I, for one, don't

00:28:06.740 mourn the loss of

00:28:08.900 the media party

00:28:09.700 because, and

00:28:11.800 although I have no

00:28:13.100 animus towards any

00:28:14.200 individual reporter,

00:28:15.560 and I believe everyone

00:28:16.300 should be able to

00:28:17.060 work hard and earn

00:28:18.320 a living, if you

00:28:19.800 have become a

00:28:20.540 censor just to keep

00:28:22.460 your job as a

00:28:23.300 government journalist,

00:28:24.960 you know what?

00:28:25.900 I don't mind if your

00:28:27.400 choices have made

00:28:28.780 your company so

00:28:29.760 untenable that no

00:28:30.780 one wants to read

00:28:31.500 your pro-Trudeau

00:28:32.260 crap that you lose

00:28:34.020 your job.

00:28:34.460 I'm sorry, I have

00:28:35.620 only a limited number

00:28:37.120 of tears to cry, and

00:28:38.340 I won't cry them for

00:28:39.860 a reporter censor

00:28:41.260 who buried his own

00:28:42.700 industry because he

00:28:43.640 thought sucking up to

00:28:44.520 Trudeau was the way

00:28:45.780 to buy himself another

00:28:47.120 six or twelve months

00:28:47.920 before a layoff.

00:28:48.840 Last word to you,

00:28:49.740 David.

00:28:50.580 Yes, no, 100%,

00:28:51.800 Ezra, as I've

00:28:52.540 long said, there's

00:28:53.580 only one thing worse

00:28:54.540 than censorship, and

00:28:55.600 that is self-censorship.

00:28:56.840 And we are seeing

00:28:57.660 that every day in the

00:28:59.560 media coverage that

00:29:00.900 we get.

00:29:01.600 And secondly, to your

00:29:02.540 point about the kind

00:29:03.600 of questions Trudeau

00:29:05.400 was going to receive

00:29:06.800 after dropping the

00:29:08.040 writ, well, one of

00:29:09.000 them, how's this for

00:29:09.880 a hardball question,

00:29:11.160 why are you jetting off

00:29:12.400 to BC to do your

00:29:14.080 campaigning?

00:29:14.980 And Trudeau's answer

00:29:16.160 is, well, I consider

00:29:17.540 BC to be my second

00:29:19.220 home, to which I

00:29:21.200 would add, maybe we

00:29:22.640 better send out an

00:29:23.440 Amber Alert to Rose

00:29:24.580 Knight, just in case.

00:29:26.480 Yeah, I mean, why are

00:29:27.960 you going to BC?

00:29:28.820 Could you imagine, so

00:29:29.380 the front page of the

00:29:30.500 Globe and Mail today is

00:29:31.380 about his crooked

00:29:32.120 obstruction of the RCMP,

00:29:33.940 and some journalist, I'm

00:29:35.020 curious who was, hi,

00:29:36.800 Prime Minister, you're so

00:29:38.420 dreamy.

00:29:39.820 I've got a question.

00:29:40.960 Okay, I can't ask about

00:29:42.460 feminist stuff, I can't 1.00

00:29:43.620 ask about SNC-Lavalin, I

00:29:45.320 can't ask about the

00:29:46.560 economy, I can't ask

00:29:47.520 about budget or the

00:29:48.260 carbon tax, can't ask

00:29:49.780 about the fact that the

00:29:50.620 conservatives won the

00:29:51.440 election yesterday in

00:29:52.180 Manitoba.

00:29:53.060 Um, hey, why are you

00:29:56.100 going to BC?

00:29:58.680 Yeah, boy, I can see why

00:30:01.720 Trudeau loves him, his

00:30:03.460 parliamentary press

00:30:04.340 gallery.

00:30:04.840 I've seen high school

00:30:06.140 newspapers with tougher

00:30:08.060 questions than that.

00:30:09.220 I want to know who that

00:30:10.360 loser was, and I want to

00:30:12.460 know how much their

00:30:13.320 bailout is.

00:30:13.960 I am, I don't know who

00:30:14.900 that was, but I'm deeply

00:30:16.520 embarrassed for them.

00:30:17.880 I'm glad I don't know who

00:30:18.920 they are, because I would,

00:30:20.420 go ahead.

00:30:22.080 Oh, sorry, Ezra, I wish I

00:30:23.520 knew who it was, too, but

00:30:24.560 remember, I was, uh,

00:30:25.960 yeah, consigned to the

00:30:27.840 public area, literally

00:30:29.480 roped off, and-

00:30:30.720 Hi, I'm Prime Minister, or

00:30:32.420 can I call you Justin?

00:30:33.460 Um, can I get a selfie?

00:30:37.440 And, of course, that's not

00:30:38.280 even a joke, that's Rosemary

00:30:39.340 Barton.

00:30:39.980 All right, David, well, uh,

00:30:41.740 uh, in the campaign trail

00:30:43.840 ahead, the parliamentary

00:30:45.200 press gallery no longer has

00:30:46.700 its authority, because they

00:30:47.820 actually are an arm of the

00:30:49.580 government, and I'm not

00:30:50.500 speaking in a metaphor, they

00:30:51.960 are an arm of the

00:30:52.580 government, which is how they

00:30:53.940 get their authority, but on

00:30:55.000 the campaign trail, that no

00:30:56.480 longer exists.

00:30:57.700 So, um, today was the last

00:30:59.420 day they'll be able to stop

00:31:00.660 us from covering politics

00:31:02.220 till October 21st, and, uh,

00:31:04.640 we'll make up for lost

00:31:05.540 time, I promise you that.

00:31:07.220 Yeah, that's great, uh, you

00:31:08.700 know, we have, uh, we're,

00:31:09.940 we're gonna hit the ground

00:31:10.860 running for sure, Ezra, and,

00:31:12.520 uh, regardless of the

00:31:13.640 interference, uh, we're not

00:31:15.660 gonna put up with it, and

00:31:16.740 nor can we be bought.

00:31:17.940 Yeah, all right, well, keep

00:31:18.860 up the fight, David, thanks.

00:31:20.660 Thank you so much, Ezra.

00:31:21.720 All right, there you have it,

00:31:22.540 David Menzies on the scene

00:31:24.440 at Rideau Hall.

00:31:25.100 Can you imagine how petty

00:31:26.200 the liberals are?

00:31:27.960 Of course you can imagine

00:31:28.700 how petty they are.

00:31:29.680 Um, they're crooks.

00:31:32.300 That's not my opinion.

00:31:33.460 They've broken the law time

00:31:34.460 and again.

00:31:34.860 That's the ethics

00:31:35.520 councillor's verdict and

00:31:37.280 conviction.

00:31:38.540 Stay with us.

00:31:39.960 Your letter's next.

00:31:52.280 On my monologue on Monday

00:31:54.060 about our plan to cover the

00:31:55.160 Canadian federal election,

00:31:56.460 Grieg writes,

00:31:57.280 subscribe to premium content,

00:31:59.520 check,

00:32:00.160 donated to campaign2019.com,

00:32:02.260 check,

00:32:02.860 ordered my copy of the

00:32:03.680 Libranos,

00:32:04.200 what the media won't tell

00:32:05.040 you about Trudeau's

00:32:05.700 corruption,

00:32:06.120 check,

00:32:06.620 stocking up on popcorn and

00:32:07.680 beer,

00:32:07.960 and I'm looking forward to

00:32:08.660 continuing coverage of the

00:32:09.820 other side of the story,

00:32:10.580 check,

00:32:10.880 go get them,

00:32:11.460 Rebels.

00:32:11.960 Well,

00:32:12.260 thanks very much.

00:32:13.460 You got me excited just

00:32:14.480 reading that.

00:32:15.500 You know,

00:32:15.960 I, um,

00:32:16.800 I'm recording this in the

00:32:18.140 afternoon.

00:32:18.620 We'll put it up online in a

00:32:19.640 couple hours.

00:32:20.080 And the last I checked that

00:32:21.760 book,

00:32:22.100 the Libranos was number 11 on

00:32:25.320 the Amazon.ca national

00:32:26.560 bestsellers list.

00:32:27.600 And we hadn't even really

00:32:29.120 announced it or, I mean,

00:32:30.140 I mentioned it in passing in

00:32:31.420 the, in my monologue, it's

00:32:32.740 true, but that's it.

00:32:33.540 I didn't tweet about it until

00:32:35.860 late last night.

00:32:36.600 I didn't email anybody about

00:32:38.060 it, but it was already number

00:32:39.420 11 on the national bestseller

00:32:40.880 list with no promotion at all.

00:32:42.680 And I think it's, there's such

00:32:43.500 an appetite for that side of

00:32:44.600 the story.

00:32:45.420 People really want to hear the

00:32:46.960 other point of view.

00:32:47.560 That's what I think's going

00:32:48.480 on.

00:32:49.980 Jan writes, Ezra, I like your

00:32:51.980 plan, especially the trucks

00:32:53.140 and interviewing locals on

00:32:54.180 the street.

00:32:54.720 I also like the lawn signs.

00:32:56.120 Well, thanks Jan.

00:32:57.460 Um, if you go to the

00:32:59.460 Libranos.com, we'll show you,

00:33:02.540 it should be up by the time

00:33:03.840 you're watching this.

00:33:05.080 We've got a map where we're

00:33:06.480 going to deliver these lawn

00:33:08.120 signs and I hope you get one.

00:33:11.000 Sheldon writes, just remember

00:33:12.720 the Dems were so sure Hillary 0.64

00:33:13.920 had it locked up and look what

00:33:14.980 happened.

00:33:16.160 That's true.

00:33:16.880 And that's a reason to hope.

00:33:18.980 And, um, the entire media

00:33:22.900 party up here is like the

00:33:24.380 entire media party in the

00:33:25.680 States.

00:33:26.620 It's overwhelming and it's

00:33:27.880 overwhelmingly pro Trudeau.

00:33:29.600 We'll have to see how it goes.

00:33:30.800 I think we have an important

00:33:31.760 journalistic role to play,

00:33:33.200 don't you think?

00:33:34.120 All right.

00:33:34.400 That's our show for today.

00:33:35.380 Until next time, on behalf of

00:33:36.520 all of us here at Rebel World

00:33:37.800 Headquarters, good night and
