Rebel News Podcast - Ontario doctors threatened with professional discipline if they dare to question pandemic policies

00:00:00.000 Hello, my Rebels. Today I take you through a statement by Ontario's College of Physicians

00:00:03.940 and Surgeons saying anyone who speaks out against the lockdowns, not just against masks or social

00:00:11.980 distancing or vaccines, but against the lockdowns could be investigated for political or professional

00:00:20.600 misconduct. It's crazy. I'll take you through this statement. You're not going to believe this was

00:00:25.620 issued from a free country. Before I do, let me invite you to become a Rebel News Plus subscriber.

00:00:55.620 Tonight, Ontario doctors are threatened with professional discipline if they dare to question

00:01:12.840 pandemic policies. That's a police state. It's May 7th and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:17.940 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:23.740 There's 8,500 customers here and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:27.800 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's my

00:01:32.380 bloody right to do so.

00:01:38.540 You've heard the age-old motto of physicians, do no harm. Sounds pretty basic, almost too basic to

00:01:45.760 even say. But of course, medical mistakes are a major cause of death. I don't just mean a botched

00:01:50.960 surgery, but diagnosing something wrong or missing a diagnosis. And of course, anyone who knows a bit

00:01:56.900 about the history of medicine, I mean, knows about practices like leeches or bloodletting.

00:02:03.800 Here's a painting of a doctor applying leeches in the 18th century. I'm going to guess that did

00:02:08.760 more harm than good. So do no harm is actually a pretty good motto for doctors, I think.

00:02:14.100 But what is harm to an individual patient? Each patient is different. A doctor and his patient

00:02:20.320 can together come up with an understanding of what the real problem is and what the best solution is

00:02:25.880 for a patient that might be completely different than for another patient. That's what happens when

00:02:31.300 a doctor's loyalty and attention are towards a patient individually rather than an aggregated mass of

00:02:37.480 people. And there you have the difference between a doctor who actually has to solve a particular

00:02:42.680 patient's problems, taking into account everything about that patient, between that real practicing

00:02:49.240 doctor and those doctors who call themselves doctors but are actually non-practicing doctors

00:02:55.280 who may have never practiced, may have never had a patient, certainly not practiced in many years,

00:03:00.740 who are really politicians or bureaucrats with an MD, or quite often not even an MD, but rather a degree

00:03:05.920 in public health, whatever that is. And that brings us to the Teresa Tams of the world, because 0.94

00:03:11.340 no doctor who put his or her patient first would ever talk like this.

00:03:17.580 I think the public has to know this is one of the worst case scenarios in terms of an infectious

00:03:22.900 disease outbreak in that their cooperation is sought. If there are people who are non-compliant,

00:03:29.120 there are definitely laws and public health powers that can quarantine people in mandatory settings.

00:03:39.580 It's potential you could track people, put bracelets on their arms, have police and other setups to

00:03:47.160 ensure quarantine is undertaken.

00:03:50.080 I think many doctors are conservative. I don't just mean that politically. I mean that in terms of

00:03:55.120 do no harm. That's why doctors are skeptical of quacks and quackery. That's why medical doctors 0.99

00:04:00.560 don't like pretend doctors or rival health ideologies like naturopathy. There's some snobbery

00:04:07.040 that comes with that, but it is true that medical doctors do have a knowledge base that is beyond

00:04:11.040 merely the common sense of the common man, even when augmented by the internet. Many doctors are

00:04:16.800 conservative, but I have never heard of a public health official. I don't even want to call them

00:04:22.080 doctors any more than Dr. Seuss with a doctor or that Jill Biden is a doctor. Sure, she's a doctor

00:04:28.320 of education from the University of Delaware. Folks, if it's an emergency on an airplane and someone says

00:04:33.760 there's a heart attack, is there a doctor on the plane? And you can't say, yeah, I'm coming to help.

00:04:38.000 You probably shouldn't go around calling yourself a doctor all the time. So public health doctors

00:04:43.760 are simply bureaucrats who use their medical degrees or their PhDs as appeals to authority.

00:04:48.560 They make economic decisions or political decisions or these days police decisions

00:04:55.040 completely outside the scope of medicine, but they insist you call them doctor because they're

00:05:00.960 trading on the expert reputation of practicing medical doctors as if their advice on closing parks

00:05:06.400 or banning kids or having police pull over cars or banning kids hockey tournaments while permitting

00:05:13.280 NHL hockey tournaments, a baldly political decision as if that is a medically sound decision.

00:05:18.240 And to criticize medicine as opposed to what it is. This is a political and lobbying decision.

00:05:24.720 I'm getting a bit sick of these self-important doctators, to be honest. 0.99

00:05:28.400 I like regular doctors. I think most people trust their own doctor. You can see a few brave ones who

00:05:34.880 speak out. Calvin Decor in Ontario, very brave. Our friend Dr. Roger Hodkinson in Alberta. They get

00:05:41.520 pounced on by their leftist authoritarian rivals. And that hasn't stopped the ones I've just mentioned

00:05:47.760 yet. But look at this published by the largest regulator of doctors in Canada just a week ago.

00:05:55.280 Statement on public health misinformation.

00:05:57.840 There have been isolated incidents of physicians using social media to spread blatant misinformation

00:06:06.080 and undermine public health measures meant to protect all of us. In response to the college,

00:06:10.560 this is the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons, released the statement below. The statement

00:06:16.800 is intended to focus on professional behavior and is not intended to stifle a healthy public debate about

00:06:22.240 how to best address aspects of the pandemic. Rather, our focus is on addressing those arguments that

00:06:27.840 reject scientific evidence and seek to rouse emotions over reason. We continue to recognize

00:06:33.440 the important roles physicians can play by advocating for change in a socially accountable manner.

00:06:40.000 Okay, I'll read the statement below in a moment, but can you please tell me before I read the next part,

00:06:45.440 which is the misinformation here? Saying that a mask works or saying that a mask doesn't work? I'm just

00:06:53.200 using that as an example. Do you see my point? The facts have been changing, so say the experts.

00:06:59.760 Theresa Thames' favorite line when caught flip-flopping is, the science is evolving. I've got to remember to

00:07:05.760 use that excuse myself. Why didn't you take out the garbage desert? Oh, the science is evolving on the

00:07:09.760 best time of day to take out. But seriously, the amount of junk science pumped out by official

00:07:15.120 sources over the last 14 months is so crazy. Take the vaccines. The drug companies themselves

00:07:22.160 say that certain vaccines need a booster shot within a certain short period of time. I don't know if that's

00:07:27.840 accurate or not, but that's what the drug companies say, and that's what they've tested. The interval

00:07:33.440 between the first dose and the second dose is what they put through their trials. But then,

00:07:40.320 because Trudeau has so royally bungled vaccine procurement, the governments of Canada and the

00:07:46.160 provinces have extended the interval way, way, way beyond what the drug companies recommended

00:07:50.960 or even tested. The drug companies have, in fact, put up press releases saying, you know,

00:07:54.160 we can't vouch for what you're doing there. Because Trudeau and the provinces wanted more people to get

00:07:59.840 the first dose rather than wait until people got the second dose. Because to follow the prescription,

00:08:04.240 as the drug companies have advised, would mean even fewer people in Canada getting their jab. So again,

00:08:10.480 which version is the College of Physicians and Surgeons calling misinformation the official

00:08:16.720 drug company point of view or Trudeau's point of view? I'm just wondering, okay, here's the official

00:08:22.560 statement. The College is aware and concerned about the increase of misinformation circulating on social media

00:08:28.400 and other platforms regarding physicians who are publicly contradicting public health orders

00:08:33.200 and recommendations. Oh, right. So they're now banned from contradicting politicians and bureaucrats.

00:08:39.440 That's what a health order is. It's a political order emanating from the state, not from a doctor,

00:08:45.440 affirmed by politicians, enforced with the machinery of the state. Imagine telling doctors,

00:08:50.240 and I mean real doctors, not just political foot soldiers, that you cannot contradict politicians

00:08:55.520 and their orders and even their recommendations. What's that? As if you have to obey someone's

00:09:01.760 recommendation. Wouldn't it be called an order if it was more than a recommendation? Let me read more.

00:09:08.080 Physicians hold a unique position of trust within the public and have a professional responsibility to

00:09:12.880 not communicate anti-vaccine, anti-masking, anti-distancing, and anti-lockdown statements,

00:09:20.080 and or promoting unsupported, unproven treatments for COVID-19. Okay, now what does it mean to be

00:09:25.120 anti-vaccine? What if you're against weird and unprescribed uses of the vaccine, like the made-up

00:09:31.920 timing that Trudeau is recommending instead of Pfizer and what they say? Well, you know that

00:09:38.080 different countries around the world have banned various vaccines at different points in time

00:09:42.240 over the past few months, or paused production or recalled them. So there's a diversity of public

00:09:47.280 health opinion, even amongst these deep state bureaucrats, politicians. But Ontario's College of

00:09:54.000 Physicians and Surgeons is telling its own doctors that they must obey Doug Ford and his public health

00:10:01.200 bureaucrats full stop. Anti-masking. Does that mean doctors can't tell kids with asthma not to wear a mask or

00:10:09.840 or children for whom masks are inappropriate? Anti-lockdown. Lockdown is not a medical procedure.

00:10:17.440 It's a political punishment. It's not medicine to put a lock on the door. And it leads to many medical

00:10:23.280 harms. That's not debatable. People can say they'd rather have the mental depression and the suicide and

00:10:28.960 substance abuse than other harms. Fine. But to simply say you cannot be against the lockdown,

00:10:35.920 I'm sorry, that's not medicine anymore. That's not science anymore. And that's none of the College of

00:10:40.720 Physicians damn business. I'll read more. Physicians must not make comments or provide advice that encourages

00:10:48.240 the public to act contrary to public health orders and recommendations. Hang on, hang on,

00:10:52.640 I said this a moment ago. So now even recommendations must be followed without question. Not just the

00:10:58.960 laws, but the recommendations. Recommendations from that renowned fitness and health expert,

00:11:05.600 the 300-pound Doug Ford. Got it. I'll read more. Physicians who put the public at risk

00:11:10.720 may face an investigation by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario and disciplinary action when

00:11:16.400 warranted. Yeah. You know, there's nothing more gross than doctors in league with a police state.

00:11:22.880 They do the most diabolical things. Public health doctors are suspect to begin with, but those who

00:11:27.360 say real medical doctors with real patients have to shut up and do as politicians say, do as

00:11:35.200 politicians recommend, can't speak out against a police lockdown. Well, those are the worst tyrants.

00:11:42.320 I wouldn't compare them to what doctors did under Nazi Germany because that's just too far. That's

00:11:47.440 too many degrees worse than where we are. And I don't want to casually compare people to the Nazis, 0.52

00:11:51.920 but you can see the ultimate destination of when doctors subvert their own judgment and knowledge

00:11:58.320 and morality and their patients care to whatever recommendations of the government is. Just so you

00:12:04.880 know, any doctor who is investigated or charged by these creeps, go to fightthefines.com and we will

00:12:12.720 give you a free lawyer to fight them.

00:12:21.360 Hey, welcome back. Well, for months, we've been talking about a looming threat of the liberal

00:12:30.160 government regulating the internet. Actually for years, if you look at heritage minister,

00:12:36.160 Stephen Gilboa's mandate letter, that's his job description officially handed to him by Trudeau.

00:12:41.760 Point number one is for Gilboa to push money out to different news media and cultural organizations.

00:12:48.720 We know that, the CBC and the media bailouts. But point number two, literally the second priority

00:12:56.080 in Gilboa's job description, his mandate letter, as it's called, is to bring in sharp censorship

00:13:03.760 of comments on the internet. I'm talking about Facebook posts, Twitter tweets, YouTube comments.

00:13:10.720 In fact, the job description itself prescribes that this takedown has to happen within 24 hours

00:13:18.960 and that the penalties should be financially severe. Not a lot of wiggle room there. Well,

00:13:25.360 Gilboa has been slow walking this, but here it comes now. First in Bill C-10,

00:13:30.800 and a follow-up legislation that has not yet been tabled. Incredibly, there seems to be some

00:13:37.760 resistance, not just from the normally timid opposition, but even from professors from the

00:13:43.920 media. It's quite incredible. Still, Trudeau and Gilboa seem to be holding the line. They

00:13:48.720 want to censor the internet and they know they got to do it before the next election. Joining us now via

00:13:53.600 Skype is our friend Andrew Lawton from the Andrew Lawton Show at tnc.news. Great to see you again, Andrew.

00:13:59.600 Likewise. Here while we're still unregulated. Yeah. Well, I mean, we're regulated by big

00:14:06.560 tech. I thought it was very creepy the other day when Facebook said their Supreme Court,

00:14:12.400 I think that was actually the language they used. Facebook's Supreme Court upheld its decision to ban

00:14:19.600 Donald Trump for life. I didn't know that Facebook had a Supreme Court and that it's binding law.

00:14:24.880 They had their own impeachment process too. Yeah. They've impeached him, convicted him,

00:14:28.560 and now he's lost the appeal to the Supreme Court. Amazing that these big tech companies are in so

00:14:33.040 many ways operating like pseudo states with the amount of power they have now.

00:14:37.120 Yeah. But of course, like say courts in China or North Korea, they may have the simulation of a

00:14:43.680 court, but there is only an autocrat who decides. Like if Xi Jinping has an opinion, the Chinese Supreme

00:14:50.960 Court will just do it. Mark Zuckerberg will just do what he wants. It really is an autocracy. It's

00:14:57.840 funny that they are appropriating the language of the state. They are bigger than many states,

00:15:03.760 but let's talk about Canada because Bill C-10, and there's a second bill on its way,

00:15:08.640 as you may know, that Gilboa is terrifying in. But let's talk about C-10. Tell me some of the

00:15:15.920 battles in Parliament. It's refreshing to see Parliament actually stand up to Trudeau for once.

00:15:20.480 Give us an update on that. Yeah. So, I mean, the simplest way to describe it is that we have a

00:15:26.400 regulatory body, the Canadian Radio, Television and Telecommunications Commission, that regulates

00:15:32.160 TV stations and radio stations. And Minister Gilboa says, well, their whole purpose is not to regulate

00:15:38.240 content. No, but it is to regulate who is permitted to operate as a radio station, as a television

00:15:45.120 station, and as a telecommunications provider. And the reason for that is based on infrastructure.

00:15:51.200 There's only so much bandwidth, so to speak. They call it telecom spectrum. Government has been the

00:15:57.520 one that distributes these things to companies. What they want to do now is extend the definition

00:16:03.440 of these terrestrial media to include the internet and not just the infrastructure of the internet,

00:16:10.080 but the actual content that goes out over the web. And that's why C-10 is so dangerous,

00:16:16.080 because it's starting to regulate now who can publish content as though it was just distributing a

00:16:21.680 license to occupy a particular series of call letters or a particular frequency on an AM or FM

00:16:28.160 dial. And originally, the government put in this exemption that said, this is not going to apply

00:16:33.040 to user-generated content, to videos that you post online, to things that I might tweet, to, you know,

00:16:38.960 cat memes or something like that. But the reality is that anything that regulates who can be a publisher

00:16:45.520 is inherently going to regulate what can be published. And Minister Gilbo has talked in the past

00:16:52.160 about the possibility of requiring licenses. He said that news outlets will be exempt from it.

00:16:58.400 But then we also know, you and I personally know this, Ezra, the government right now has a very

00:17:03.840 different definition of what a journalist is and what a news outlet is than what a normal person would

00:17:09.520 approach that with. So I believe wholeheartedly that Rebel, that True North, that other competitors and

00:17:15.120 colleagues we have are going to become regulated by C10, even though the government's trying to claim

00:17:20.800 that it's only going after these big players like Facebook and Google.

00:17:24.240 Yeah. You know, to say that you're only regulating a platform doesn't really mean anything. YouTube,

00:17:31.440 as you can see in the name YouTube, it's user-generated, it's you that are creating the content. So

00:17:37.200 there's really nothing to YouTube other than the creative work of millions of different users. So say you're

00:17:43.920 regulating YouTube, but not its users, just doesn't make any sense. That's like saying

00:17:48.320 I'm regulating the stage at the theater, but there's nothing to regulate without the people.

00:17:55.360 And I should say that the Liberals have been playing games. They made amendments,

00:18:00.240 and then in reaction to the backlash, they made other amendments. Let me read you a line from the

00:18:04.080 National Post's Anya Karadalia, who's actually been pretty good at covering this stuff, I have to admit.

00:18:08.560 Um, she reached out to Canada's leading expert on this, Michael Geist. He's a professor at the

00:18:13.520 University of Ottawa, who I wouldn't call him left-wing or right-wing. He's just really skeptical

00:18:18.000 of censorship. And he says that under the latest amendments by the Liberal MP, Julie DeBruson,

00:18:24.960 quote, user-generated content is still considered a program that the CRTC has the authority to

00:18:33.040 regulate. So they're treating not just my show and your show that we call shows. Like you say,

00:18:41.680 a Twitter tweet, a Facebook. They're calling that a program as if it was like a Howard Stern radio

00:18:48.160 interview that they have to crack down on or, you know, some, uh, sex or violence that they have

00:18:55.040 to make sure doesn't come on until 8 PM at night. They will literally treat you, me, grandma, grandpa,

00:19:01.600 whoever uses the internet as if we're a TV show and regulate us the same way. Obviously it's impossible.

00:19:08.000 You have millions of pieces of content, impossible to regulate at all, Andrew. So they'll just regulate

00:19:14.800 the things that bug them. They'll just go after the political critics that bother them. That's what

00:19:20.880 is so obviously going to happen in my mind. Yeah. And you alluded to this earlier in the

00:19:25.840 interview, and I know we're talking about C-10, but I think one of the profound failings in the

00:19:31.360 conservatives right now in a lot of the media coverage has been not linking Bill C-10 with this

00:19:37.600 other bill that's coming out. And I've called this a one-two punch on censorship. Everyone's focused on

00:19:43.360 the one, no one's focused on the two. And that is a bill that minister Gilboa has promised that will

00:19:49.360 regulate online so-called hate speech or online so-called harms. Now, people that are old enough

00:19:57.360 will remember more than a decade ago when people like you, our friend Mark Stein, staked huge amounts

00:20:03.920 of political capital, of money, of time to fight what was then called Bill, uh, sections 13 of the

00:20:10.880 Canadian human rights act. This was a section that made it an offense to communicate so-called hateful

00:20:16.640 content on the internet. Well, the liberals did a huge, uh, consultation process in which they came

00:20:24.320 up with a report that said, we need to bring this back, but bring it back in a way that gives it more

00:20:29.200 power and more authority to go after content posted on social media. And the reason why that's relevant to

00:20:35.280 C-10 is because what C-10 does is lays the regulatory framework for all of the areas that government can

00:20:43.040 crack down on. And then this other bill will sneak in through the middle and start regulating the type

00:20:48.400 of content. And all of a sudden the government has made it so that your online posts on Twitter,

00:20:54.080 on Facebook, on TikTok, on YouTube, on a cooking blog are all subject to government regulation

00:21:00.640 on a definition of hate speech that has still never been defined. Yeah. Um, you know, it's funny 0.85

00:21:06.720 because at, uh, a Canada 2020, that's the liberal party sort of think tank. So it's, it, it really is

00:21:13.840 a creature of the liberals. Um, uh, Gilboa talking to the same reporter, Anya Caridalia said that one of the

00:21:21.040 the things he wants to stop is private citizens being able to taunt politicians. Now I, I think

00:21:29.600 that taunting like an insult, I think that's what taunting is a kind of insult. Um, you know, we want

00:21:36.560 to be polite where appropriate, but it shouldn't be allowed against the law to taunt a politician. In

00:21:42.880 fact, if there's anyone you should taunt, it's a politician. That's what we do in, in a democracy.

00:21:48.160 We don't take up weapons and arms and revolution. We taunt people, we debate people, we criticize

00:21:54.560 people, but that is exactly what Gilboa says he wants to crack down on. He specifically says

00:22:02.000 criticism of politicians here. Take a look at this clip from when he said that to Canada 2020.

00:22:08.160 We've seen too many examples of public officials retreating from public service due to the hateful

00:22:13.920 online content targeted towards themselves or even their families. There he is. I mean,

00:22:19.280 I tell you, Andrew, it once upon a time, the media held the government to account. Now the government

00:22:26.880 wants to hold the media to account. I think the government has quite enough power already. Thank you.

00:22:32.720 Yeah. And remember that Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google, whatever you think about these companies,

00:22:38.880 they do not want to deal with these pesky regulations in a country that in the grand

00:22:43.280 scheme of things is relatively insignificant as far as the user base is concerned. So my concern is

00:22:49.200 that I think we've talked about this before. By regulating content, government is basically

00:22:54.160 deputizing these companies to be censors. And it's a lot easier for them to just say when they get their

00:23:00.080 annual report or their weekly or daily report from government of, you know, here's all the offending

00:23:04.560 content to just zap it all instead of going down this process of, ooh, does this really meet the

00:23:09.360 criterion? Is this really hateful? Is this harmful? And so on. And one thing that Minister Gilboa did

00:23:15.280 say previously, and it was to French media, did not get a lot of pickup in English media,

00:23:20.480 was that his definition of hate speech in this bill will be similar to the Watcott Supreme Court

00:23:26.160 decision. Now, this is something that I'm assuming by your by your noise there, you're very familiar

00:23:31.280 with Ezra and a lot of your listeners may. This is a Supreme Court decision in which the Supreme Court

00:23:36.560 found that something can be true and still be hateful, that the truth is not a defense against

00:23:43.040 a criticism of hate speech. And this is the basis on which the federal government plans to rest its

00:23:48.720 definition of hate in a sweeping bill that will regulate internet speech. That's terrifying. Thank you

00:23:55.200 for the reminder of that. And the idea of outsourcing censorship to the private sector. I mean, I'm not

00:24:02.160 sure if you saw that, Andrew, but just in the last few days, PayPal without explanation or notice or

00:24:08.800 appeal just yanked their credit card processing for us, which is an enormous loss. We don't know who

00:24:14.960 complained. We don't know what the complaint was. We don't know what we allegedly did wrong. We don't

00:24:18.800 know what the rule we allegedly broke was. There's no transparency, no appeal, no process,

00:24:24.400 no rule of law, no basic administrative fairness. Even the worst government regulators, like the

00:24:31.920 human rights commissions that I've been before, they at least say, well, here's what someone said

00:24:36.240 about you. And do you have a side of the story? And they at least have a pretend judge, even if he's

00:24:42.240 not particularly unbiased. So even the worst government regulator is better than the absolute silence of

00:24:51.440 PayPal just nuking us. Or what I joked about earlier, Facebook's Supreme Court. And that's what

00:24:58.640 worries me, is that Stephen Gilboa and Justin Trudeau have learned something. Don't censor through

00:25:04.080 the government because then you have to muck around with that charter of rights. Delegate it to your

00:25:08.320 friends in big tech. And by the way, they are all friends. The head of Facebook, senior people in all

00:25:13.200 the tech companies did come from the Liberal Party, just like in the states that came from the Democrat

00:25:18.160 party. Have your friends in social media just quietly delete your enemies. Don't fuss around

00:25:23.840 in the courts. No one will even know what happened. That's, to me, the terrifying future. We had a

00:25:28.480 little taste of that with PayPal. Last word to you. Do you think that this is going to go through?

00:25:33.840 I mean, it's fun to see the newspapers and this one law professor, Michael Geist, speak out against

00:25:38.560 it. That's more than normally happens. But do you think that's enough to stop the Liberal lust for

00:25:43.360 censorship? Well, I hope so. And I mean, it's not a confidence motion. The NDP could vote against

00:25:49.120 this without risking toppling the government and going into an election the NDP just is not ready

00:25:55.040 for. The hate speech bill I'm less confident about not passing because I was in on those committee

00:26:01.520 meetings when parliamentarians were grilling witnesses. And I remember just one notable example,

00:26:07.520 when Lindsay Shepard, John Robson and Mark Stein were testifying, Randall Garrison,

00:26:12.640 who was an NDP member of the committee, went his entire seven minutes that he had for questioning

00:26:18.720 without asking a single question. He filibustered because he himself on this committee that was

00:26:24.560 assessing speech regulations didn't want to platform people with whom he disagreed. So I don't have faith

00:26:31.520 that opposition parties, with the exception of the conservatives, who cannot alone defeat legislation,

00:26:37.440 are actually concerned with free speech more broadly. I feel they might on C10. But once it gets into the

00:26:43.680 specifics of online hate speech, we've seen where their hands are in the past.

00:26:48.240 Yeah. And as we showed the other day, even Alain Reyes, the Conservative Party critic on this file,

00:26:54.320 as recently as November, was calling for Gilboa to censor harder. And he was the one who actually

00:27:00.640 suggested on YouTube. It was quite shocking. Andrew, great to see you again. Keep up the fight.

00:27:04.720 You guys at TNC.News are one of the few independent news organizations, and therefore,

00:27:09.520 you're one of the few groups that can stand up against government censorship. You keep at it, my friend.

00:27:13.680 Thank you so much. All right. There you have it. Andrew Lawton of The Andrew Lawton Show.

00:27:18.320 You gotta support those guys. I mean, seriously, you can count on one hand's fingers the number of

00:27:23.840 independent media in this country. And God forbid Andrew's voice is silenced or the other independent

00:27:29.520 voices. You stay with us more ahead. Hey, welcome back on PayPal cutting us off. A.A. Smith writes,

00:27:47.200 regardless of your opinion of Rebel News, this is just wrong. Yeah. Imagine a bank shutting you down

00:27:53.040 without notice on a Friday night. And if they can do that to PayPal, which in some jurisdictions is

00:27:58.560 considered a bank and some it's not. Why can't they do that to your savings account, your checking account,

00:28:03.440 your phone line, your cable account? I mean, what's the difference?

00:28:08.160 Lily writes, I do a lot of business with PayPal too, but I can find a different service.

00:28:13.600 People have always criticized PayPal to me. I just said, well, just use it because

00:28:17.280 we use it. It's so easy. It's ubiquitous. Well, I see what they mean now.

00:28:22.080 Bruce writes, what if all of us Rebel supporters closed our PayPal accounts on mass? I plan to close

00:28:27.280 my account. Yeah. I mean, they are so big. They're a $300 billion company. I don't know if that,

00:28:33.360 if they're going to notice it, but maybe if you close your account

00:28:37.200 and send them an email explaining why, maybe that'll get their attention.

00:28:41.440 Let me tell you one thing. It's going to take more than some de-platforming from PayPal to shut us down.

00:28:46.240 That I promise you. Well, that's our show for the day and that's it for the week. And

00:28:50.400 I appreciate your loyalty and your support for us. And I promise you in return, we'll keep fighting

00:28:55.040 until the last day. Until Monday, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters,

00:29:00.000 to you at home, good night and keep fighting for freedom.
