Summary
In Nashville, Tennessee, they shut down all the bars and restaurants on false, faked science. Even if you ve never been to Nashville, you can imagine your own city shut down on a ruse. And I'll get into that here.

00:00:00.000
Hey, welcome back. I got a little story for you from Nashville, Tennessee. I've only visited
00:00:04.340
briefly. What a wonderful little city. In some ways, it reminds me of New Orleans. A very musical
00:00:12.320
city, of course. Imagine shutting down all the bars and restaurants there. It really strikes
00:00:16.520
at the heart of the city and its character. But I got some awful news about how they shut down
00:00:22.860
those bars and restaurants on false, faked science. I'll get into that here. Even if you've
00:00:29.180
never been to Nashville, you can imagine your own city shut down on a ruse. Hey, before
00:00:36.580
I get to the news in today's show, let me invite you to get the Rebel News Plus subscription.
00:00:42.500
It's eight bucks a month, less than Netflix, and you get access to the video version of
00:00:46.660
the podcast and also Sheila Gunn-Reed's show and David Menzies' show. And I think there's
00:00:52.600
also another benefit of subscribing, and that's to support Rebel News because we don't take
00:00:56.960
any government money, so we rely on you. Just go to rebelnews.com and click subscribe.
00:01:02.840
Tonight, Nashville lied about their virus stats because they were too low to justify a panic.
00:01:25.480
It's September 17th, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:30.480
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:34.220
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:38.300
The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody
00:01:48.960
Have you ever seen in Nashville, Tennessee? What a wonderful city. I haven't spent enough
00:01:53.700
time there, but you can feel the music in the bones of the city. It's like the ocean and
00:01:58.960
St. John's, Newfoundland. I suppose you could live in St. John's and have nothing to do with
00:02:04.620
the sea, but not really because it's soaked into everything. The history of the place, everywhere
00:02:10.580
in the city you can see the ocean. Many places you can hear the ocean. Everyone has some connection
00:02:15.720
to it. St. John's couldn't just be moved into the middle of the prairies. That's how music
00:02:21.200
and Nashville go together. What a great town. Big names in music, but little names in music
00:02:27.760
too. Little bars, little music halls, like New Orleans a bit with its blues. And I tell
00:02:34.060
you this because what a terrible strike against the heart of that wonderful city it was to
00:02:39.660
shut down all the little bars and clubs and music halls and restaurants because of the pandemic.
00:02:45.880
I mean, telling Nashville not to listen to music is like telling St. John's not to think of the sea
00:02:51.360
or certainly not to go into it. Yet that's what happened, obviously. I see that the U.S. Attorney
00:02:57.460
General, Bill Barr, is quoted as having said that the pandemic lockdown is the greatest infringement
00:03:03.520
of civil liberties in the United States history other than slavery. And I think he's exactly right.
00:03:09.280
Don't go to work. Don't go to school. Don't go to church. Don't go to weddings or funerals. Don't go
00:03:15.140
to visit your grandparents. Don't travel. Don't gather together. Don't go to the hospital unless
00:03:19.940
it's for the one special magic virus, but everything else from cancer treatment to checkups, that's all
00:03:26.200
canceled. And with no science or policy to back it up, Bill Barr's right. I think the world accepted
00:03:32.780
15 days to flatten the curve, two weeks to slow the spread. It was phrased differently here and there,
00:03:38.720
but people accepted a two-week pause in life because it was all so new and alien. But wouldn't
00:03:44.260
you know it, it's September 17th today, which just happens to be exactly six months from March 17th,
00:03:50.160
when the state of emergency was declared in a lot of different jurisdictions, when things are still
00:03:55.660
just getting started. Now, deaths from the virus are so rare. There are days when not a single person
00:04:01.840
dies. That's not a pandemic anymore, folks. Take mighty Ontario, 14 and a half million
00:04:08.500
citizens, 268 hospitals. There's a grand total of 53 people in hospital in the whole province,
00:04:15.260
only 21 in intensive care, and 12 on ventilators, 12. That's fewer than one in a million people.
00:04:24.120
The average age of victims of the virus, people who've died from it, is in the mid-80s, which
00:04:28.400
happens to be older than life expectancy anyways. But that last number, 12 people on ventilators,
00:04:33.120
in all of Ontario, I remember when there was a panic in April, that we would need tens of thousands
00:04:40.580
of ventilators as we all crowded into hospital alleyways and hallways, trying to get on respirators,
00:04:48.620
waiting for our term to die. No, this didn't happen, thank God. Trudeau and Teresa Tam had a model
0.91
00:04:55.020
that said up to 350,000 people in Canada would die. No, just over 9,000. And that includes a lot
00:05:02.540
of dubious cases being added to the numbers to pad them. People in their 90s who had three underlying
00:05:08.600
conditions, say cancer, diabetes, and a stroke. And then the virus came. I'm not happy that anyone
00:05:13.760
died from it, but please don't tell me we're in a health emergency. But back to Nashville,
00:05:19.320
that lovely city, look at this story. COVID-19 emails from Nashville mayor's office show disturbing
00:05:27.340
revelation. Uh-oh, what's the disturbing revelation? Was everyone going to die? No, the opposite,
00:05:33.660
actually. Nobody was going to die. And that was just contrary to the official narrative of fear
00:05:38.620
and panic. So the good news was covered up by the Democrat mayor. Did you really need me to tell you
00:05:45.300
he was a Democrat? Here's the Twitter page for the mayor. He's wearing a mask. Here's a hint. If a
00:05:50.980
politician is wearing a mask in their publicity photos, he's a leftist. Let me read a scoop from the
00:05:56.800
local TV station there. The coronavirus cases on lower Broadway, that's in Nashville, may have been
00:06:04.360
so low that the mayor's office and the Metro Health Department decided to keep it secret. What?
00:06:10.660
Emails between the mayor's senior advisor and the health department reveal only a partial picture,
00:06:16.300
but what they reveal is disturbing. The discussion involved the low number of coronavirus cases
00:06:23.360
emerging from bars and restaurants and how to handle that. And most disturbingly, how to keep it
00:06:28.120
from the public. Can you believe that? Of course you can. Again, bars, music, halls, that's what makes
00:06:34.820
Nashville Nashville. At least I think so as a casual tourist there, but it's the livelihood of thousands of
00:06:40.440
people too. Let me read from the story some more. On June 30th, contact tracing was given a small
00:06:46.560
view of coronavirus clusters. Construction and nursing homes were found to be causing problems
00:06:52.120
with more than a thousand cases traced to each category, but bars and restaurants reported just 22
00:06:57.840
cases. Leslie Waller from the health department asks, this isn't going to be publicly released,
00:07:04.600
right? Just info for mayor's office. Correct, not for public consumption, writes senior advisor
00:07:10.800
Benjamin Eagles. A month later, the health department was asked point blank about the rumor
00:07:16.200
there are only 80 cases traced to bars and restaurants. Tennessee lookout reporter Nate Rau asks,
00:07:22.000
the figure you gave of more than 80 does lead to a natural question. If there have been over
00:07:26.180
20,000 positive cases of COVID-19 in Davidson and only 80 or so are traced to restaurants and bars,
00:07:31.900
doesn't that mean restaurants and bars aren't a very big problem? Health department official Brian
00:07:37.720
Todd asked, five health department officials, please advise how you recommend I respond.
00:07:44.020
Now I don't need to tell you that 20,000 cases doesn't mean 20,000 people were sick.
00:07:49.940
Many were probably asymptomatic, no symptoms. Some were probably false positive tests, but still
00:07:56.740
the number is the number 20,000 of something. 20,000 cases and only 80 cases were from restaurants
00:08:04.320
and bars and yet they shut down the restaurants and bars and they deliberately hid the facts to
00:08:10.140
justify their lockdown. They knew it was false. Here's the worst part here. My two cents, we have
00:08:16.640
certainly refused to give counts per bar because those numbers are low per site. We could still release
00:08:22.980
the total though. And then a response to the over 80 could be because that number is increasing all
00:08:28.000
the time. We don't want to say a specific number. So they knew there was no problem with the restaurants
00:08:32.400
and bars. In fact, if I'm reading this right, those are probably the safest places in all of Nashville.
00:08:39.160
There's about 5,000 restaurants in Nashville, 80 cases. That's it. Here's an idea. Take your grandma
00:08:47.680
or grandpa out of a senior's home and just roll them into a Nashville restaurant. I mean,
0.54
00:08:53.080
senior's homes have been death traps and these Nashville restaurants sound like sanctuaries.
00:08:59.740
So do you think the public policy behind our lockdowns in Canada or frankly anywhere else in
00:09:04.160
America are any less questionable? Here, watch this wonderful exchange with the British health
00:09:09.960
minister on a talk radio show. They've got curfews over there now. They've got this bizarre rule of six.
00:09:15.860
You can't have more than six people together, even if you've got three kids and two parents and the
00:09:21.180
grandparents come over. You've got three kids plus mom and dad. So that's five people. And then
00:09:25.820
grandma and grandpa come over. That would be seven. So one of them has to wait in the car and only one
00:09:30.960
can visit. You think I'm kidding. You think I'm kidding. Well, I'm not kidding, but this rule is all
00:09:37.060
made up here. There's no science to it. Listen to this exchange.
00:09:40.440
I'm not an epidemiologist. I don't have any medical background, but a lot of us are a little bit
00:09:44.680
confused. Maybe you as health minister can explain to us that I didn't realise that viruses could both
00:09:49.520
tell the time and count so well. Can you explain to me why six people sitting at a table together in
00:09:55.180
a pub at 9.59pm is perfectly safe and seven people sitting in a pub at a table at 10.01pm means we're
00:10:04.640
all going to die? Well, I wouldn't necessarily characterise it as you did there, Julia, but I take
00:10:10.380
your point. The issue being that what we've seen in, for example, Bolton and some other areas is
00:10:15.580
that it's that night time economy. It's towards the end of the evening when people have had
00:10:19.960
a bit to drink, that sometimes people aren't always as aware of the rules or forget the rules.
00:10:27.120
And therefore, you can see groups starting to get together, starting to break the rule of six,
00:10:32.660
starting to have that close contact. And it's one of the things that appears, and I say appears,
00:10:37.580
to be a factor in driving up infection rates in those areas where you see large groups of people
00:10:42.960
late at night who've enjoyed themselves perfectly reasonably with a drink or two,
00:10:47.480
but who then sometimes don't follow the regulations.
00:10:50.280
He just made that up. I'm certain of it. He just made that up. That rationale. Well,
00:10:55.360
people get a bit drunk, so they have poor judgement at 10pm. He's like a kid being called on to
00:11:02.560
answer a question in class about homework that he hadn't read, and he just makes it up to see if
00:11:08.120
he can get by. That's amazing to me. How many people lost their jobs because of this cover-up
00:11:12.840
in Nashville? Oh, but they're just the little people, don't we? Just the waiters and waitresses
00:11:16.900
and cooks and busboys and dishwashers and I guess some musicians. Not the important people like the
00:11:21.900
mask-wearing mayor and all the important people working for him and all the important people on these
00:11:27.060
emails. How many businesses went broke? People who poured everything into their little restaurant
00:11:33.120
or bar for years, maybe decades, and were just ended. How many because of a political trick?
00:11:40.760
I saw this page on Tennessee's government website. Avoid coronavirus scams. Yeah, that's a good idea.
00:11:49.500
Don't fall for fake cures or fake checks. That's a pretty good idea.
00:11:54.480
File a consumer complaint. Hey, that's a good idea. But what if the scam is coming from inside the
00:12:18.240
Well, it's a myth that there is no private health care in Canada. Of course there is.
00:12:23.920
For example, workers' compensation often pays cash to get workers to the front of the line. Makes
00:12:30.100
sense. The longer a worker isn't working, the higher the cost. Prisoners also go to the front
00:12:36.060
of the line. Soldiers too. And of course there's a line you can go to if you have a few extra bucks.
00:12:43.700
Go to the United States. Something famously done by Jean Chrétien when he flew to the Mayo Clinic.
00:12:49.800
No Canadian waiting lists for him. Lots of politicians and, dare I say, lots of judges like
00:12:57.300
private health care. The Should Ice Hernia Clinic in Ontario is one such example. But mere citizens,
0.98
00:13:04.700
lowly members of the public, well, you get back to the public line, don't you know? That's the new
00:13:10.720
ruling from the British Columbia Supreme Court. In the case of Dr. Brian Day, the founder of the
00:13:17.400
Canby Surgery Center that's been offering a free market alternative to British Columbians
00:13:22.700
for more than 20 years. The judges there issued an 880-page ruling recently on Dr. Day's right
00:13:32.020
to practice free market medicine. He joins us now via Skype from Vancouver. Dr. Day,
00:13:42.840
Tell me a little bit, when I first heard that this case was in the Supreme Court, I thought it
00:13:47.580
was the Supreme Court of Canada. This is the B.C. Supreme Court, which I think is like the Court
00:13:53.000
of Queen's Bench in Alberta or would have another name in other provinces. This is not a done deal yet.
00:13:59.680
This still could go to two more appeals, am I right?
00:14:03.180
Oh, it's going to an appeal and absolutely not. It's not a done deal.
00:14:07.660
This is the first decision at the lower level of the three courts that you just alluded to.
00:14:15.020
And we will remember the Quebec decision of 2005. That also lost at the lower court. I think it takes
00:14:24.620
a strong, this was by a single judge, and it takes strength to take government as a judge.
00:14:34.780
And I think that you mentioned some groups that are exempt. To show you, perhaps even more remarkably,
00:14:43.300
the defendant in our trial is listed as the Attorney General of British Columbia. Well, that office
00:14:52.720
has sent private pay patients to our clinic. And one of the attorneys general who was in office
00:15:03.720
during the time that this litigation has been going on, had private pay for surgery himself
00:15:15.780
at a private clinic in British Columbia. So we're very disappointed in the decision
00:15:22.960
where it will be appealed. It's causing, this decision is causing a lot of harm already. We have cancelled
00:15:31.480
all BC residents. So for example, to kind of illustrate, in British Columbia, a resident of British Columbia
00:15:44.500
is not allowed to use our clinic. So next week, I was supposed to do seven surgeries on one day.
00:15:53.020
The four, I cancelled four of those patients. Three of them, the four that I cancelled are from British
1.00
00:15:59.700
Columbia. The three that I'm able to carry on and treat are Albertans. So you have rights.
00:16:06.800
You have rights in, in, in the province of British Columbia that the government denies to its own
00:16:14.580
citizens. This, it does remind me of the former Soviet Union where, so there were shops that only
00:16:22.560
the tourists and visitors could enter. If you were a citizen, you were not allowed there.
00:16:28.320
Yeah. You know what? Um, I am absolutely sure without even checking, but perhaps we ought to check
00:16:33.800
that judges who are elite, who have connections, who have friends, who are wealthy, uh, and who are
00:16:42.600
generally aged. I am sure without even checking, but I think we ought to do an investigation that
00:16:48.360
just as you say, the attorney general, the attorneys general of BC who fight against you in court,
00:16:55.140
use private services, even at your own offices. I got to tell you, I bet the judges do too. I don't
00:17:02.160
understand. You don't need to, you don't need to guess that or research it as a, because I can tell
00:17:06.880
you they have. I mean, we have received payments, the federal government for judges being treated at
00:17:15.040
our clinic. Really? Yes. What, how do they excuse that? I mean, I, I've been reading the other side's
00:17:23.080
argument. They say that you're making too much money or that you're diverting the top talent of the
00:17:29.400
public system. I, I think, well, what's even more important than medical care, I suppose to eat.
00:17:35.980
I mean, if you don't eat in a few days, you die, you don't need doctors all the time. And if we all
00:17:41.880
were in line for, let's say subway sandwiches, I'm making an analogy here, bear with me. And we were
00:17:48.220
all in a very, very, very long line for subway sandwiches and someone opened up a steakhouse next
00:17:54.380
door. And wealthy folks said, I don't want to wait in line for subway. I'm going to go to the
00:17:58.980
steakhouse. Well, how does that make anyone in the subway line, uh, any further behind? In fact,
00:18:06.040
it empties out people from the public line. And by the way, uh, when I'm saying one is like a subway
00:18:11.360
sandwiches and one is a steakhouse, I'm implying that the quality in the private center is so much
00:18:17.140
more luxurious. I don't know if that's necessarily always the case. My point is, if you take people out
00:18:22.460
of the public line and they're using their own money to get out of the public line, how on earth
00:18:28.660
does that make anyone in the public line any farther behind? Well, it's exactly analogous to
00:18:34.140
education, right? And we don't ban private schools or private, uh, Canada. And of course, every, if you
00:18:44.220
send child to a private school, you still pay your full share of public school. So one example,
00:18:51.940
so actually to me that this, this is about patients, patient suffering as a result of this decision
00:19:00.740
already, as I said, we've canceled, um, all BC residents included in our cancellations week,
00:19:08.800
uh, our patients who were supposed to have, um, biopsies on, and tests, um, to see if they had
00:19:17.660
those patients now go on to a massive public waitlist. And one with the COVID pandemic, of course,
00:19:25.860
is that these waitlists have gone up tremendously. There is a, a study out of McMaster that estimates
00:19:33.160
COVID will cause times in Canada to rise by four to seven times. Another more dramatic thing,
00:19:42.460
since in evidence in our trial, which was uncontested evidence, this was in one health region in British
00:19:50.300
Columbia, um, 308 patients died in a single year on the waitlist. They, they, they lived their life
00:19:59.660
out waiting for a procedure and extrapolated to when we began our case, extract extrapolated across Canada,
00:20:07.740
that amounts to 75,000 patients have died on public waitlists in Canada. Since we started our
00:20:15.740
litigation 11 years ago, those, I mean, it sounds an awful thing to say, but that's, that's, um,
00:20:24.780
that's the reality that people said this in the Charlie case, people, patients are suffering and dying on
00:20:33.340
waitlist. And they certainly are across the country and more so in the wake of the COVID crisis.
00:20:40.380
So we're very hopeful of success in our appeal. Yeah. You mentioned, uh, COVID for a number of
00:20:46.940
reasons. Uh, if 75,000 people have died on waiting lists, well, a grand total of about 9,100 people
00:20:54.540
have died because of COVID-19 and the average age in British Columbia, if I'm not mistaken, is 84.
00:21:00.860
So, I mean, I, and of course the, the value of an 84 year old's life is the same value as anyone else.
00:21:07.260
But medically speaking, um, it, I would imagine that 75,000 people dying, waiting for surgery
00:21:15.980
are likely people who were not in the final chapters of life or who had something that could
00:21:20.780
be solved or cured. Uh, I'm not weighing one life against the other. In fact, I'm, I'm doing the
00:21:25.980
opposite. I'm saying eight times as many people have died, uh, from these delays than from COVID-19.
00:21:33.660
It's terrible to talk about lives in terms of statistics, but when you have a law that bans
00:21:38.460
private surgery, you are going to create a massive statistic, aren't you?
00:21:42.620
Well, another statistic, which is from government data, which they tried to block us from entering
00:21:49.980
into evidence, but they collected in British Columbia, they defined the maximum acceptable
00:21:56.620
wait time that a patient should wait for any condition. And for thousands of conditions at any
00:22:02.460
one time in British Columbia, again, this is evidence in court, 40,000 patients are waiting
00:22:09.180
long. So again, it's pre COVID are waiting longer than the government, the defendant in the trial
00:22:16.780
longer than they the maximum acceptable time they should wait. And yet the court has decided this
00:22:25.100
status quo should continue. And those patients don't have a choice, will not have a choice now.
00:22:30.860
And, um, to me, the other important thing, I mean, I alluded to it with the Alberta
00:22:36.940
treaty next week, um, that when the Supreme Court of Canada on the Quebec case, it gave Quebecers rights
00:22:47.580
under, under the charter that the, that this decision denies to British Columbians and indeed
00:22:55.420
rights are denied in Alberta and Ontario and elsewhere.
00:22:58.860
Huh. Well, you're incredibly patient to have gone through this and to keep your fighting spirit alive.
00:23:05.420
And as you mentioned, there are two other levels of appeal. Let me ask you, you're canceling
00:23:09.740
surgeries. That's a crisis for the individual patients. Is there a way to get a stay, to get a
00:23:16.700
legal pause on this ruling? If you were to appeal it, which I presume you will, can the effect of this
00:23:25.420
permit you to continue to do surgeries until this makes its way to the Supreme Court of Canada?
00:23:30.940
Yeah, that's a great question. The answer is yes. And we're in the process.
00:23:35.260
It's going to take a few weeks, but in the meantime, you know, the, the government has
00:23:41.340
introduced fines of up to $20,000 per patient. Well, an average, a common fee for say a knee surgery at
00:23:49.740
our clinic for the, for the, for the, we, this is not a big profit making business. In fact, two or
00:23:58.460
three clinics have gone bankrupt in the last year before this. And we tried to enter evidence in court
00:24:05.340
on this. Our, our clinic generates a profit by 42 to $60,000 for every $5,000 of revenue. And, and there is,
00:24:17.500
the government has imposed fines of up to $20,000 per patient. So obviously we cannot carry on. And we
00:24:25.180
we cannot treat a patient where the, where the revenue is dollars and the profit is $65. And, and the, and
00:24:38.780
it's just impossible economically to, to carry on until we get that stay that we, we will be applying
00:24:45.260
for it. But it's going to take a few weeks because we have to create the argument for the, for the
00:24:51.660
appeal cause. You know, I know the Hippocratic Oath do no harm. And I know there's plenty of medical
00:24:57.260
ethics that require you to treat people, even people you disagree with, even people you find odious.
00:25:04.620
I mean, doctors have a high ethical burden. I find it infuriating as a non-doctor who is not bound by
00:25:13.260
those morals that the same political and legal class that is trying to put you out of business
00:25:23.100
also uses your business. I still can't get over what you've said to me about attorneys general,
00:25:27.900
attorney general staff, judges, federal judges being sent to you while these, the same, and I'm not,
00:25:34.700
I'm not going to tar the entire legal industry with the same brush, but it is a bit of chutzpah
00:25:39.740
in particular for the DC attorney general to use your services while suing you for giving those
00:25:46.140
services. Well, perhaps I can shock you even a little bit more. The judge, this was a decision
00:25:52.940
brought down by a single judge. The judge himself has had private surgery at another clinic and albeit
00:26:01.260
funded under contract by the government. And so, and this begs the question, and it does come down,
00:26:12.460
I think, to moral and ethical principles. Why should this, why should a government have the right
00:26:21.340
to determine that you're long enough that you're now able to let you go to a private clinic and pay for
00:26:29.020
you? When in a democratic society, you do not have that right yourself. That's what the right they've
00:26:36.700
taken away. And I should emphasize, there is only one jurisdiction, there is only one country on earth
00:26:44.700
in which there are jurisdictions which make elite, make private health insurance unlawful. That is in
00:26:53.340
Canada. There is no other country, no other country, China, North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam,
00:27:01.500
communist countries, none of them have laws like this.
00:27:06.860
That's incredible. I want to repeat back to you something you said, because I want to make sure
00:27:11.020
I heard it 100% accurately. Your audio cut out for one second there. Can you confirm for me that you
00:27:17.660
just told me a moment ago, before your point about Canada being the only jurisdiction without
00:27:23.020
a free market alternative, did you tell me that the judge in your case who just issued the ruling
00:27:28.620
against you, I think his name is Judge Steeves, if I'm not mistaken, is that the judge? Did you just say
00:27:34.620
that you know for a fact that Judge Steeves himself personally has had private medical care,
00:27:44.460
even if it was paid for by a public institution? Did you just, is that what you said?
00:27:48.940
I think that's what you said. That's absolutely what I just said. That knowledge is in the public
00:27:54.860
domain. That is not patient. He's not, you know, that is in the public domain.
00:28:00.860
The judge ruled against you. Admitted by the judge. Admitted by the judge.
00:28:05.740
That's appalling. That's a let them eat cake moment. That's a one rule for the one rule for
00:28:14.300
me moment. And it's not just, you know, it's not just a perk. It's not just getting a, you know,
00:28:20.540
first class seats in an airplane or front row tickets to a theater show. This is about life or
00:28:25.580
death surgery in some cases. For the very judge who condemns you for offering free market services,
00:28:32.540
to have private health care for himself. And to admit this publicly, as you say, and yet proceed
00:28:39.740
against you is probably the grossest thing I've heard all week. And it has been infuriated.
00:28:46.300
I wish you good luck in your appeal. I understand your case is being supported by the CCF, the Canadian
00:28:53.420
Constitution Foundation. Is that right? Yes. Well, I wish them good luck. I know them. I'm more
00:29:00.140
familiar with the JCCF, the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms. But I used to actually,
00:29:05.820
about a decade ago, I don't know if you know this, Dr. Day, I was on the board
00:29:09.740
of the CCF way back when. And so I know it's work. I haven't been involved with it in many years.
00:29:15.820
But the fact that they're fighting for freedom with you, I find very encouraging. And I wish both
00:29:21.740
them and you good luck. And I hope you don't bend the knee. I know you don't. I know you've been fighting
00:29:26.460
this for more than a decade. And I wish you continued strength and much good luck.
00:29:32.140
All right. All the best. That's Dr. Brian Day. He's the founder of the Canby Surgery Center,
00:29:37.900
talking to us from his office. A lot of incredible things there. And one, I just had to check with him
00:29:43.020
because I just couldn't believe it when he said it. The actual judge who condemned him and ruled
00:29:48.380
against his private medical clinic has personally used private medical clinics, only in Canada.
00:30:08.940
Hey, welcome back. On my monologue last night, Neil writes,
00:30:12.140
no other country would purposely sabotage their largest economic driver.
00:30:16.780
Well, you know what? I've never heard of it either. I mean, Detroit did,
00:30:23.100
through a series of bad decisions, run the auto industry out of town. There are still some
00:30:27.580
auto factories in Michigan, but it wasn't on purpose. It wasn't the goal. No one strode around
00:30:32.300
Michigan and said, we're going to phase out these factories. No one went through Pennsylvania and Ohio
00:30:37.340
and said, we're going to get rid of coal and steel. It just happened for larger economic reasons.
00:30:43.180
Only Canada would say, we're going to decarbonize. Let me know when OPEC does that, okay?
00:30:48.300
On my interview with Marty Moore on lockdown restrictions, Alan writes,
00:30:53.740
I'm with you, Ezra, on the rules, but I'm amazed by how my family and friends and neighbors
00:30:57.500
have gone full Orson Welles on me, so much so that I have stopped giving my opinion due to blowback.
00:31:03.980
You know, it's very sad to me. And, you know, I remember as a child learning about the second
00:31:10.540
world war, in particular about the Nazis. And I remember thinking, how could anyone have gone along
0.54
00:31:15.660
with this? How couldn't they see? Well, it's a child looking at it in retrospect, decades after
00:31:21.420
the war. But the peer pressure, the submission, the compliance out of fear, out of loyalty, out of
00:31:29.420
a sense of patriotism, out of, well, everyone else is doing it, out of bowing to authority. Well,
00:31:33.740
my doctor said so. The man on the telly said so. I see with fresh eyes how so many of our own friends
00:31:43.420
and neighbors would have collaborated and being complicit with any authoritarian or even totalitarian
00:31:51.180
regime, whether it's the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany. I find it terrifying to see that.
00:31:58.620
You know what, though? In a small way, Rebel News is fighting back. I believe we're making a little
00:32:03.260
bit of a difference. In Canada, with our Fight to Finds campaign, I don't know if you saw, but our new hire
00:32:08.700
in Australia, Avi Yamini, we hired him on the Friday. On the Saturday, he was arrested by lockdown
00:32:14.140
police. We filed a lawsuit against the police in Victoria State, Australia. In our own small way,
00:32:20.380
we're going to try and fight back. I hope I would have done that if I was in the Soviet Union or in
00:32:27.020
Nazi Germany. I hope I would have fought back. In Nazi Germany, I wouldn't have had a choice that would
0.89
00:32:30.940
have rounded me up if I didn't get out of there. But I feel like we're doing a small part of it. And Bill
00:32:36.780
Barr said this is the worst infringement of civil liberties other than slavery. And you know what,
00:32:41.420
people say, oh, that's too much. Well, it's true. I mean, the Japanese internment was harsher,
0.86
00:32:47.980
but only a little bit harsher. In a way, hundreds of millions of us have been locked into house arrest.
00:32:55.660
At least they had some fig leaf of a rationale. Well, we're at war with Japan and you're Japanese.
1.00
00:33:00.460
That's a racist point of view. But at least there was a rationale there. What's the rationale for
00:33:05.340
locking down everyone of every race and every gender and every age? You don't quarantine the
0.87
00:33:09.980
healthy people. This is an infringement of civil liberties. And my God, we're going to do something
00:33:14.140
about it if we can, at least here at The Rebel. That's the stories for today. I appreciate you
00:33:19.660
being with us. Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World High Quarters,
00:33:23.420
see you at home. Good night and keep fighting for freedom.
