Rebel News Podcast - Manitoba politicians create a special exemption from mask-wearing — for themselves!

00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. I got great news for you. Finally, the pandemic is over. I'll show you

00:00:04.500 the proof from public health officials. The curve is so flat, you need a magnifying glass to see it.

00:00:09.800 But then how come, how come all the mask laws are ramping up only now, not three months ago when

00:00:17.240 maybe we could have used them? I have two theories. I'll share them with you next. But first, can I

00:00:22.360 invite you to become a Rebel News Plus subscriber? It's eight bucks a month, which is normally 96

00:00:31.420 bucks a year by my math. But if you actually subscribe for a whole year, it's only 80 bucks.

00:00:35.800 We'll give you a discount. So 80 bucks for a whole year of the video version of this podcast,

00:00:41.660 plus weekly shows from Sheila Gunn-Reed and David Menzies, and the satisfaction of knowing that

00:00:48.980 you're keeping us independent. We don't take any money from Justin Trudeau, and it shows.

00:00:53.480 All right, go to rebelnews.com to subscribe for that. It'd be a big favor to me. Here's today's podcast.

00:01:03.700 You're listening to a Rebel News Podcast.

00:01:06.060 Tonight, Manitoba politicians have a special health exemption for themselves. It's July 9th,

00:01:20.460 and this is the Ezra Levant Show.

00:01:21.840 Let's start with the good news. The pandemic is over. Look at that curve. That's the number of cases

00:01:49.660 every day in Canada peaked in mid-April. It's now down to numbers so low you almost can't see them

00:01:54.520 on the chart. You can find entire cities in Canada without a single case, like Regina. Not one person

00:02:01.640 has the virus in Regina. Not one. Only three people in hospital in that entire province.

00:02:07.900 In Toronto, Canada's biggest city, it's almost down to single digits for new cases. There are about 40

00:02:13.760 hospitals of different kinds in the greater Toronto area, population 6.5 million people,

00:02:18.480 and there are exactly 35 patients in intensive care across the entire mighty city. So about one person

00:02:26.640 per hospital total. Just a reminder, last year, the regular flu killed 8,511 Canadians. Total number of

00:02:36.160 people killed by coronavirus, almost exactly the same, 8,737. Now, I'm not happy about any deaths,

00:02:43.560 but this really was no worse than the annual flu season. If you were a senior citizen in some poorly

00:02:49.740 run senior's home, you should definitely be worried about this virus. But if you're under 50,

00:02:55.560 you had a greater chance of dying by driving into an animal on a highway. If you're under 20,

00:03:02.360 you had a greater chance of being struck by lightning. Every year, about 10 Canadians are killed

00:03:07.640 by lightning annually. So far, the virus has killed one person under age 20 in the entire country,

00:03:17.300 and they had a terminal disease to begin with. It is less risky than being struck by lightning. And

00:03:22.940 one of the safest places to be in Canada is friendly Manitoba. Look at this headline,

00:03:27.220 no new cases for six days in a row. I haven't been able to find conclusive stats, but I think you might

00:03:33.120 have a higher risk of being eaten by a polar bear in Manitoba than dying of the virus. Look at this.

00:03:40.440 Man and woman attacked. Two bears attack a pedestrian. Those two were Manitoba cases. Here's a Nunavut case.

00:03:49.380 If you're under 50, I think the risk per million population is higher of being eaten by a polar bear

00:03:54.980 than by dying from the virus. Politicians know this. Here's Manitoba's Premier, Brian Pallister,

00:04:01.680 chatting with Andrew Scheer, neither with their masks on, obviously. No normal people wear masks

00:04:06.520 when they talk, least of all politicians. But this picture embarrassed Brian Pallister. He knows he

00:04:11.660 doesn't have the virus. He knows Manitoba is done, the pandemic. He's not nuts. But he was shamed by

00:04:18.900 the media party, so he said, sorry, he'll never let it happen again. So Manitoba, which is cured,

00:04:24.520 it is safe now. The pandemic is done now. Well, it's now forcing everyone to wear masks.

00:04:30.200 Now? Now that it's done. No new cases six days in a row. Just none. It's over. Maybe we should have

00:04:38.360 had masks three months ago. I don't know. Taiwan uses masks. And they've had a grand total of seven

00:04:44.360 deaths total in a country of 23, 24 million people right next to China. So I accept that masks can help, 0.99

00:04:51.840 but masks in Manitoba now after it's all over? Why, yes. Yes, actually. Look at this. It's a story

00:05:02.780 about masks and Manitobans and politicians. I think the newspaper was trying to be mad at Pallister,

00:05:07.660 but look at this buried in the bottom of the story. Manitoba public health orders exempt elected

00:05:12.860 officials and several other types of individuals who provide vital services from self-isolation orders

00:05:19.700 when traveling outside Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario. A spokeswoman for Manitoba health said

00:05:24.500 elected officials and their staff can travel for business or vacation or a combination of both.

00:05:32.340 And they do not have to self-isolate when they return to Manitoba if they're not displaying any

00:05:36.440 symptoms of COVID-19 as they are engaged in providing a vital service. Oh, got it. So politicians

00:05:43.180 are exempt even on their vacation because that's a vital service, people. Isn't that interesting? Oh,

00:05:50.440 and all their hangers-on too because no one is more essential than some junior assistant, you know,

00:05:57.420 suitcase handler for an elected MLA. I mean, they're the most important people in the world.

00:06:02.200 They have to be exempt from these laws on their vacations. They're certainly more important than you.

00:06:06.300 But what does that have to do with them not having to follow the same laws as everyone else? Does the

00:06:12.400 virus check with someone to see if they're a politician or a mere mortal first? This isn't

00:06:16.740 medical science, people. It's politics. Just like not a single politician or public health authority

00:06:21.180 condemned the Black Lives Matter rallies. Apparently, the virus doesn't go to those.

00:06:27.780 Why the current obsession with masks and quarantines for the little people only? Now that it's all over,

00:06:33.660 like if this was in March or April, I get it. But now? I have one theory. Trudeau spent $2 billion

00:06:42.160 on masks. Masks that cost, what, a dime to make? He spent $2 billion on them. He got ripped off so badly.

00:06:52.880 But I think it finally arrived. Now that the pandemic's over, and to save face, he's got to make

00:07:00.740 everybody wear them. I mean, he just spent $2 billion on a bunch of masks. He probably paid, no kidding,

00:07:06.020 100 times more than they're worth. So he can't just throw them out. He'd look as stupid and ineffectual

00:07:13.180 as he really is. Look at this. I love this headline. Trudeau says Canada will not pay full price for 1.00

00:07:20.880 8 million substandard masks. So they're substandard. They don't actually work. And instead of rejecting

00:07:28.200 them, well, he'll take them. He just said, can I get a bit of a discount? They don't work. I won't pay full

00:07:33.340 price. Why would you wear a mask that doesn't work? Why would you wear it at all? He really is that dumb.

00:07:40.740 Here's John Tory, the mayor of Toronto, not quite sure how to wear a mask. Where does it go? Well, going to a 1.00

00:07:47.320 crowded park, telling people to wear their masks and not going to a crowded park. So you know he means

00:07:52.580 everything he says. Now that was a month ago that the pandemic was over then already, but it's really

00:07:58.040 over now. And yet this week is the week that John Tory brought in mandatory masks for the whole city of

00:08:03.760 Toronto. Why now? I don't think John Tory spent $2 billion on masks that he has to save face about.

00:08:10.980 Never say never. I think he just wants to make permanent the sense of fear and alienation and

00:08:16.480 crisis that we've all been living through for four months. We're all getting back to normal and

00:08:21.320 politicians don't like that because mayors, especially left-wing big city mayors like John

00:08:25.600 Tory are failures in normal times. They have to deal with things like taxes and crime and garbage pickup

00:08:30.760 and things like that. But in a pandemic, they can pretend they're dramatic generals fighting a war.

00:08:35.800 They love the sense of crisis. Their businesses aren't failing. They don't have businesses. They

00:08:40.140 work on the public time. They're not going bankrupt. They love being bossy. That's why they became

00:08:44.760 politicians to begin with. There is no medical reason. There is no scientific reason. There is no fact-based

00:08:50.260 policy reason to wear masks when the pandemic is over, which it is, but there is a political reason.

00:08:59.540 So what are you going to do?

00:09:03.460 You're going to wear masks just to be compliant, just to show how you're a good Canadian and how 0.99

00:09:09.320 you obey authority, even when it's really dumb? Well, you do the same when they come with their 0.95

00:09:16.540 untested, made-in-China vaccine, too. Stay with us for more. 0.99

00:09:35.260 Welcome back. Well, Justin Trudeau is self-hiding without a doctor's note. He's been staying at home

00:09:43.200 for about four months, but that hasn't kept him out of trouble. In fact, I think he's gotten used to

00:09:48.480 the lack of scrutiny and accountability, not having parliament sit as usual, not having press that

00:09:55.360 aren't hand-picked by him ask him questions. And so his behavior has gotten even worse with the risks

00:10:02.320 that are innate to his character. He's a rich man. He inherited money. He's the third generation of

00:10:09.980 Trudeau's that hasn't worked. Well, actually, his grandpa was the last Trudeau that ever worked for

00:10:15.260 a living. So he's used to things coming easily. He has an entitlement mentality, but I think it just

00:10:20.800 got out of control. As you've seen recently, he personally was part of the cabinet decision to steer

00:10:28.000 $900 million to a questionable charity called WE Charity, W-E, run by the Kielberger brothers.

00:10:38.280 But it turned out that that $900 million was hand-picked, sole source, not open to competition,

00:10:44.180 and that WE would get millions of dollars for handling that, and that the money was for volunteers.

00:10:50.240 You don't pay volunteers. So many strange questions that begged more questions. And finally,

00:10:56.460 we panicked and said, uh, we don't want the deal after all. But questions continued, continued,

00:11:04.220 investigations continued. We hired lawyers to growl at reporters. In an unusual turn of events,

00:11:12.220 reporters growled back. And now we see this shocking headline today, broken almost simultaneously

00:11:19.840 by a number of different media. The WE Charity that Trudeau intervened to send $900 million

00:11:27.860 through. Well, they have been secretly paying Trudeau's mother, Margaret Trudeau, and his brother,

00:11:35.220 Alexandra Sasha Trudeau, $250,000 to his mom, more than $30,000 to his brother, all secret. None of it

00:11:46.060 disclosed a massive scandal. Surely just the tip of the iceberg. Joining us now to talk about this,

00:11:52.640 and we will talk about other things too, is our friend Lauren Gunter, senior columnist with the

00:11:57.460 Edmonton Sun. Lauren, the WE Day, it's a big deal here in Toronto, but it's in other cities. It's

00:12:03.680 basically emptying out the junior highs and high schools to come and cheer for liberal

00:12:07.960 celebrities. Trudeau, his wife, his mom. It always felt like a liberal rally. Little did we know

00:12:14.140 that it was actually a way to funnel cash into the Trudeau family pockets.

00:12:20.480 Yeah. Does it surprise me that the revelation that the WE Charity has been paying speaking fees to

00:12:30.280 Margaret Trudeau and Sasha Trudeau? No. Does it surprise me that it was done on the QT so that

00:12:38.840 nobody knew about it? No. It doesn't surprise me. Nothing in this scandal surprises me.

00:12:47.080 The biggest problem, though, of course, is, you know, the WE Charity is welcome to pay

00:12:52.000 whatever private citizens it wants to speak at its function. But the problem is, undoubtedly,

00:12:59.800 the prime minister knew when this proposal to give WE control over 900 million tax dollars,

00:13:08.560 nearly a billion tax dollars, and pay it nearly $20 million in administration fees. When this decision

00:13:16.980 came to the cabinet, he now admits he did not recuse himself. He did not. He took part in the

00:13:24.020 discussions. He did vote. So that's where the real problem is. You know, we can find out they've

00:13:32.040 been paying all sorts of people who have close affection with their charity. That's OK. But it's

00:13:40.180 when it's the prime minister's mother and brother and the prime minister surely knew about it, and then

00:13:44.700 the prime minister goes and makes a decision about giving a sole source contract. No competitive

00:13:49.440 bidding. No one else asked. The sole source contract to the WE Charity, which he has also

00:13:56.580 been closely connected to. Between 2012 and 2017, he was the keynote speaker slash host at a number of

00:14:05.020 WE Day rallies. In fact, the morning after he was elected in 2015, one of his first events was a

00:14:12.660 WE Day rally. So he's very, very close. His wife is even closer. She's an official ambassador of the

00:14:20.020 WE Charity and hosts a podcast that the charity has. I mean, their connections go back almost a decade,

00:14:27.800 perhaps longer than a decade. And they are very, very close. They're very simpatico, too.

00:14:33.680 Ideologically, as you said, you know, their WE Day rallies look like liberal evangelical tent shows.

00:14:41.140 You know, it's like it's preaching to young people that they need to go and change the world

00:14:46.760 and go on on WE sponsored education trips to third world countries so they can learn to be humble.

00:14:55.640 So it's really it does have sort of a almost a cultish kind of feel to it when you when you look

00:15:05.540 at the online, you look at the at these rallies and all of that together means the prime minister

00:15:13.560 surely should have known that he was in a conflict of interest when he when he spoke in favor of this

00:15:21.120 contract at the cabinet and voted on. Now, we can go even further back in a couple of weeks before

00:15:26.720 that. You know, his office still claims he still claims that it was the bureaucracy that came

00:15:33.240 forward and said, you know, cabinet, we think the best people to handle this contract is the WE Charity.

00:15:41.040 Well, even the CBC last week had an extensive piece talking to people in the philanthropic

00:15:50.340 community in in Canada, in the different charitable organizations, saying we don't think we has enough

00:15:56.500 contacts locally around the country to actually perform this task of distributing nine hundred

00:16:05.240 million dollars to students who work for charities during the summer. There's the YMCA.

00:16:10.860 There's the United Way. There are any number of other organizations that have the infrastructure

00:16:17.180 available and have the ability that is also that also puts a lie to one of the liberal story points,

00:16:24.380 talking points on this. And that is that we was deemed by the bureaucracy to be the only charity that

00:16:31.180 could do this. I mean, there's so much about this that just smells. Yeah. That's very, very hard to believe

00:16:37.900 Trudeau did not know what was going on early on and and should have done something about it.

00:16:44.220 I Mario Dion, who is the ethics commissioner who found Trudeau in violation of the ethics act under the

00:16:50.620 S for the SNC Lavalin affair is now investigating this. But I can't say that he for sure that he will find

00:16:58.220 another ethics breach. But if there is an ethics breach by Trudeau on this, that means the Aga Khan

00:17:04.940 private island trip, SNC Lavalin, and if this one happens, also the We Cherry, he would have been

00:17:11.020 guilty three times of violating the ethics act. Surely a man with any shame at all would have to resign.

00:17:18.540 Yeah. But you watch. He will not have any shame. The party will build their wagons around them. And

00:17:24.620 and liberal voters from one end of the country to the other will excuse it. Yeah. Oh, he'll give a

00:17:29.420 speech about how it's a teachable moment for the rest of us and how we can all learn to do better.

00:17:34.540 And, you know, he was blinded by his privilege. Yeah, he didn't use that excuse. You know,

00:17:40.540 there's so many other connections. Bizarrely, Trudeau appointed one of the Kielberger brothers to the

00:17:45.660 Federal Debates Commission. What? The group that banned us from attending the debates. I wonder if

00:17:52.780 that's a coincidence. And remember, it was we that said we just talked about speaking fees. We sent

00:18:00.620 when I say we, I mean the we charity sent Sophie Trudeau and the kids and the mom on a luxury trip to

00:18:08.700 London. That's where she infected superstar Idris Elba with the virus. So there's all sorts

00:18:15.580 of payments that haven't even been disclosed yet. I think it was a real. I mean, there's

00:18:23.740 a saying a fish rots from the head down. Another way of saying it is people look to the leader.

00:18:28.700 For example, when Stephen Harper was the prime minister, a scandal as small as a $16 cup of

00:18:34.540 orange juice could result in a minister being fired. Name me a single financial scandal in all of

00:18:40.540 Harper's career. The only thing that got him in trouble was when Nigel Wright tried to pay back

00:18:47.340 questionable expenses for Mike Duffy. If that's your scandal, someone giving money to the government,

00:18:52.700 that's as clean as a whistle. That was the moral leadership of Harper. Look at, as you just mentioned,

00:18:57.500 this would be the third brutally blatant case. And I read the Aga Khan, that's that billionaire

00:19:04.620 island in the Bahamas where they went down and they knew it was wrong because they kept it secret.

00:19:08.780 They lied to the public. And they, when you read the full report, it actually was Sophie Trudeau

00:19:14.940 who was repeatedly calling up the family and saying, Hey, can I come back with my girlfriends?

00:19:21.900 That's right. The princess, the daughter of the Aga Khan said, well, we're not going to be there. 0.82

00:19:25.820 And she said, Oh yeah, no, no problem. We just wanted to use the place. So that sense of entitlement,

00:19:30.700 she wants that billionaire Kardashian lifestyle. Um, so he, I have two points to make on this,

00:19:37.820 Lauren. One is the entire liberal firmament sees how their star operates. So they surely

00:19:45.180 operate the same way. Oh, it's okay. If I pad my expenses, it's okay. If I take this gift

00:19:49.980 because the boss is doing it and he never gets in trouble for it. And you know what it goes beyond

00:19:56.060 that though, it goes into the whole mentality of the liberal establishment in Canada, uh, in that,

00:20:03.900 well, we are the most moral, sensitive, intelligent, caring people we've ever met. So of course, what

00:20:13.180 we would do is, is appropriate because we are so moral and caring and sensitive and intelligent. Yeah.

00:20:19.900 Uh, and it, it speaks to such a level of arrogance, but they don't, I mean, they must surely at some

00:20:26.940 point think, Oh, should I be doing this? Shouldn't I? Ah, yeah, sure. It's okay. Because I have the

00:20:32.060 best interests of the country at heart and we are the final arbiters of what the country's best interests

00:20:37.420 are. Ergo, it's okay. Well, he's a fake feminist. I mean, he gropes, uh, reporters. He's a fake 0.99

00:20:45.740 minority rights activist. He wears blackface and, and disparages Aboriginal folks. And he's fake 0.98

00:20:51.500 charity. He, he, he takes from charity. He doesn't give to it. Yeah. You know, and, and I, I don't want

00:20:58.540 to get us off of this, but I think there's a point to be made here too, that the $343 billion they're

00:21:06.540 going to go into debt this year is also connected to this. Because if you watch the fiscal snapshot,

00:21:12.940 he read the fiscal report that, that finance minister Bill Morneau put out on Wednesday,

00:21:19.020 um, there's no plan in there to stop spending. There's no remorse for the fact that they are,

00:21:26.140 they have gone deeper in debt on a per capita basis than any other G7 country in response to

00:21:31.340 the pandemic. And, and there's no plan. Like you can say, okay, I don't like the amount that they

00:21:37.820 spent. I think they overspent, but you know, this pandemic hit it with full force in an instant

00:21:46.300 overnight. Things were in free fall and you sometimes do you overcompensate because things are

00:21:53.580 so bad. You know, I don't know where the bottom is and you're flailing around. I get that. I mean,

00:21:58.380 to some extent I'm prepared to forgive them some of the money that they spent,

00:22:03.100 but because they believe that everything they do is perfect and that whatever is in the interest of

00:22:10.140 the liberal party is also the national interest, they have no plan to stop doing this. Like they

00:22:15.340 don't care. They don't care if this sends up inflation. It doesn't matter if it raises interest

00:22:19.740 rates. It doesn't matter if it lowers the standard of living of people who are working from, I mean, 0.59

00:22:25.100 for instance, in, in their CERB payment, the Canada emergency response benefit, $2,000 a month that

00:22:31.660 people who lost their jobs are getting. There's two things in this that really irk me. First of all,

00:22:38.380 the amount that they're spending on CERB alone, and this, there's all sorts of others. There's the

00:22:42.940 wage subsidy, there's business subsidies, there's the loan program for small businesses, a whole bunch

00:22:47.740 of other benefits from the pandemic. CERB alone is larger than the British economic recovery plan.

00:22:58.140 Just one benefit. And we are a country that is not quite, well, a little more than half as large

00:23:05.740 as Britain. Oh, it's so large, people don't want to go back to work. And it's also paid to non-Canadians.

00:23:12.300 It's paid to foreign students in our country who don't work. 5.5 million Canadians lost their jobs

00:23:18.860 or lost part of their work hours. They lost hours during the pandemic. 5.5 million. The CERB has been

00:23:27.660 paid to 8.1 million. Yeah. There's got to be a reconciliation. There has to be, they don't

00:23:35.100 explain that stuff. They don't think that there's a problem. And CERB up to the end of the lockdowns.

00:23:42.300 So that's what it was supposed to be to cover lockdown. Yeah. CERB, to the end of lockdowns,

00:23:47.740 paid $53 billion. But it will pay an extra $27 billion on top of that for two added months of

00:23:57.100 payment. And that was the liberals paying off the NDP to allow them to shut down parliament so that

00:24:04.220 there's no scrutiny until the end of September. Right. That's not a pandemic requirement. That's

00:24:09.340 a liberal party requirement. It wouldn't shock me if there was a snap election, especially

00:24:13.340 like five minutes after the conservatives get their leave. Or why even wait? They'd probably

00:24:19.660 like to go with Andrew Scheer again. Hey, I got one more thing that came to my mind when I saw

00:24:24.620 Alexandra Trudeau, Sasha Trudeau, was also taking payments here. I just wrote a book called China Virus,

00:24:32.780 Lauren. And in it, I talked about how Alexandra Sasha published his book about China, which is

00:24:39.660 legit. I mean, I think he's a crazy pro-communist weirdo who loved Castro and loved the Soviets. Now

00:24:45.900 he loves Iran and now he loves China. Okay, fine. But he had it published by the government of China.

00:24:52.300 Like the government of China published Sasha Trudeau's book. We don't know how much he was paid for that,

00:24:58.060 but obviously he was paid. And I thought, if they're accepting secret payments from we,

00:25:05.900 are they also accepting secret payments from others? And I don't mean Justin Trudeau himself,

00:25:09.740 I mean, Alexandra Trudeau, who we know has done business with China. Who else is paying family

00:25:16.860 members and letting it be known to Justin that, hey there, we're on your side. And by the way,

00:25:22.220 since we've been doing it for four years, now we have some dirt on you because you've been keeping

00:25:27.500 the secret. So it's a trap actually. Trudeau might have, it's like Hunter Biden in the States.

00:25:33.580 Joe Biden can say, oh, I haven't taken a dime from China. Yeah. But your son has taken a billion.

00:25:38.700 And I think that we need an investigation on what other, like we, charity, WE charity,

00:25:46.700 is about the least worst because we know what they are. They're liberalists, globalists,

00:25:51.020 teeny poppers, just like Trudeau. But what about people who are more malign?

00:25:55.580 What about foreign interests who operate through bribes in Africa and Asia and now are delighted to

00:26:01.580 find a Canadian who not only isn't afraid to take bribes, but he actively tries to hide it like the

00:26:06.300 billionaire island vacation. I'm worried that Trudeau is actually the victim of compromat, which is the

00:26:13.660 Soviet term for compromising material. I'm not saying it's sexual. I'm saying it could well be

00:26:20.460 financial. And I'm not saying it's happening. But you have now a prime minister who is twice

00:26:26.380 officially in violation of the Ethics Act. And a third time looks pretty convincing that he's in

00:26:32.620 violation of the Ethics Act. I mean, did he, the one section that a lot of people in the press have

00:26:38.860 focused on is Section 6 of the Ethics Act, which says you can't take a direct personal benefit from

00:26:46.620 anyone you're doing business with in your government position. But there's Mario Dion, the

00:26:53.660 Ethics Commissioner, is looking at two other sections. And those say you cannot get involved in

00:26:59.100 decision making on issues that you have a personal interest in. And I think that it's easy to establish

00:27:07.020 Trudeau has sufficient personal interest, either directly or through his family members,

00:27:11.500 with the WE charities, that he should have absented himself from any discussion of this WE contract

00:27:18.300 and any vote. But he had admitted a day ago that he didn't do either of those things, that he did

00:27:24.620 participate in the debate at the cabinet, and he did vote. So I can't see how he avoids a third

00:27:32.300 conviction of violating the Ethics Act. And so does he open himself to speculation about the sorts of

00:27:39.020 things you've just mentioned? Yes, he does. Even if it's not true, a lot of people are going to wonder

00:27:44.620 about it, because he has shown himself to be so cavalier about those sorts of things on the three

00:27:49.820 instances he's been caught at. Yeah. Well, I find this very depressing. Last night, here at Rebel, we

00:27:57.020 watched the second English-language Conservative Party debate amongst Erin O'Toole, Derek Sloan,

00:28:03.420 and Leslyn Lewis. Peter McKay was not part of it. And although I have my affection for all three of

00:28:09.100 the candidates who were there, I got to be honest with you, Lauren, I didn't see in them someone who

00:28:14.060 would stop a second Trudeau or a third Trudeau win. And it leads me to be slightly depressed.

00:28:22.460 And you can bet that in the Liberal Party backrooms, they saw the same thing you did. And so they're

00:28:28.860 just licking their chops. Let's wait till this person is sworn in. Let's give them three or four

00:28:34.220 months. We'll manufacture some sort of confidence crisis in the House of Commons. We'll force the

00:28:40.860 NDP to vote against us by not giving in to the next ridiculous NDP demand. And we'll go to the country 0.78

00:28:49.500 and say, oh, you see why we need a majority? We have the conservatives and their nastiness

00:28:55.500 on the right. And we have the NDP and their lunacy on the left. You need us to be the steady hand on 0.86

00:29:02.700 the tiller. And they will probably win because people don't, people give a Trudeau a pass on

00:29:09.820 these ethics things. And they don't understand the economics any better than the Liberal Party does.

00:29:15.020 So they don't see the harm that will come from a $1.2 trillion national debt.

00:29:20.860 Yeah. It's hard to imagine anyone could be worse for Canada than than Pierre Trudeau. But I think in

00:29:29.580 his son, we have found that person. At least Pierre was smart. And, you know,

00:29:34.940 Pierre wanted to steal the money that the West was making off of oil, but he wanted the West to make

00:29:40.300 the money. Yeah. Yeah. Justin doesn't want us to make the money and he doesn't want to steal. I mean,

00:29:45.180 he doesn't want to pay the debt off. That's not a goal of his. He doesn't care to tax us. He wants us

00:29:51.980 to all become fair trade baristas and organic beekeepers rather than working oil and gas. I mean,

00:29:59.260 he's positively a lightweight. Yeah. Well, that's 2020. The year's just half done. And it is what

00:30:08.620 Queen Elizabeth would call an Annis Horribilis, who knows what's ahead in August. Great to see you,

00:30:14.460 Lauren. Thanks for joining us. All right. There you have it. Our good friend, Lauren Gunter,

00:30:18.620 senior columnist with the Edmonton Sun. I must say, I'm getting depressed. Stay with us more ahead.

00:30:29.260 Hey, welcome back on my monologue last night. Sherry writes,

00:30:39.660 Trudeau has a tough decision to make. Does he risk angering his China masters by calling out

00:30:43.740 their bullying or does he stand up for Canada? Yeah. I mean, I don't know where he's going to go

00:30:48.100 on that. He's so wedded to China. If you look at my book, China Virus, being pro-China is in the blood

00:30:54.320 of the entire Liberal Party. Every senior appointment is pro-China. Some of them worked

00:30:59.440 for China lobby groups. They can't un-China-fy the Liberal Party of Canada. And I don't even mean

00:31:06.640 by bringing in pro-democracy China hands. They just can't do that. I mean, there are a lot of great

00:31:13.600 pro-democracy, pro-liberty China activists, China experts, and even Chinese Canadians who,

00:31:19.760 the Taiwanese, Falun Gong, democracy activists, they just, you can't bring them into the Liberal 1.00

00:31:24.880 Party without purging the Beijing loyalists. It's really a big problem. Paul writes,

00:31:30.720 What will Trudeau do about China's recent threats? My bet is that he'll self-hide in his mansion again.

00:31:37.040 Yeah, yeah, he's trying that. On my interview with Mark Morano, Bruce writes,

00:31:41.680 As for NASA, it's a sad commentary that they've gone after political opportunities. Is there no field

00:31:46.560 of endeavor that isn't politicized? Soon, even the power companies will administer orthodoxy tests

00:31:51.360 before providing service to customers. You are so right. It is terrifying that these terms of service

00:31:57.760 for Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, whatever, they're now bringing political tests. They're now bringing

00:32:04.480 political tests for what you do in real life, not even for what you do on their websites.

00:32:11.440 How long before banks do that? They're already doing it. How long before public utilities and

00:32:18.400 landlords do that? Well, we're about five minutes away from that, I think. Folks, that's our show for

00:32:23.440 today. Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, good night, and keep fighting for freedom.

00:32:41.440 We'll be right back.
