Transcript
00:00:00.000
Hello, my Rebels. Today, I take you through a very interesting article on the CBC State
00:00:05.120
Broadcaster. At first, I thought it was going to be amazing. They were saying, why the heck
00:00:08.960
aren't the RCMP investigating all these derailments on the railroads? I'm thinking,
00:00:14.280
wow, they're going after the eco-terrorists. Finally, shocked to see that from the CBC.
00:00:20.460
Yeah, no, that's not what they meant. I'll take you through it. It's incredible.
00:00:24.880
But first, let me invite you to become a premium subscriber, signing up for what we call Rebel

00:00:34.720
video footage of things that you have to see, like a blockade that you just need to see with
00:00:39.320
your own eyes. Please consider subscribing. Go to rebelnews.com. It's eight bucks a month.
00:00:43.340
You get this show, plus Sheila Gunn-Reed's show and David Menzies' show. Okay, here's the podcast.
00:00:58.980
Tonight, the police simply announced that they're not going to investigate the train
00:01:07.900
derailments. I wish I were kidding. It's March 6th, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.
00:01:14.620
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:18.320
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer. The only thing I have to say
00:01:23.620
in the government of a wire publisher is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:01:28.260
Look at this from Trudeau's CBC state broadcaster, the official broadcaster of Greta Thunberg,
00:01:39.120
David Suzuki, and the fraudulent Chief Woos, the fake First Nations chief who came out of nowhere to
0.91
00:01:45.700
be the representative for the Wet'suwet'en Indians opposing pipelines, even though 100% of the Wet'suwet'en
00:01:51.900
bans along the pipeline route actually support the pipeline. I'll get back to everything I just
00:01:57.720
said there in a moment. But like I say, look at this story. Police not probing recent rail disasters,
00:02:05.940
crude oil derailments, deaths for possible negligence. And then the sub-headline,
00:02:12.100
finger-pointing among railways, outside police, safety officials in investigations that CBC finds.
00:02:19.500
So, hang on, the police are just not going to investigate? So just no arrests, eh? No,
00:02:27.820
not even arrests, no investigations. They're just pretending this sort of thing is not happening.
00:02:34.180
I know, I know. Let's call it, uh, throwing snowballs. Yeah, that's it. At least that's what
00:02:42.400
our justice minister says. And he says the people that are throwing things at trains and they look
00:02:46.820
like they're trying to derail a train or lighting fires should be treated as terrorist acts and as
00:02:51.040
terrorists. You're the justice minister. Is he right? Well, I think an act of stupidity, like getting
00:02:56.480
in the way of a train or throwing a snowball at the train, which is exceptionally dangerous,
00:02:59.980
puts your own life in danger, far from an act of terrorism. There's a lot of hyperbole that's
00:03:05.720
being added, you know, fuel throwing onto the fire by various people. That's not going to help us get
00:03:11.720
to a solution. You know, it just struck me, I've seen that clip about five times, they were actually
00:03:18.800
throwing fire on the tracks. He called that a snowball. But what he called about people who were
00:03:24.580
worried about it, he said that was throwing fuel on the fire. What a weird, weird man. Yeah, are you
00:03:32.900
surprised that Warren Buffett, the world's more successful investor, just announced he's pulling
00:03:39.780
his billions out of a Quebec-based pipeline project, LNG project? I'm not. He specifically said it was for
00:03:47.540
reasons of political risk. Warren Buffett invests around the world in countless countries, but he
00:03:56.540
doesn't trust Canada with his money. Just let that sink in for a moment. Now, you're stuck here, your
00:04:02.860
house, your business, your property, you are stuck here. Warren Buffett, he's leaving now before it's
00:04:10.080
his project that's torched. Not because some yahoos lit a fire near the train tracks. There are yahoos
1.00
00:04:17.080
everywhere, even in the United States, too. It's just that in the United States, their attorney
00:04:21.660
general doesn't go on TV and say, hey guys, stop being stupid, and throwing snowballs when it's
00:04:28.100
actually eco-terrorism. That's what's scary. Trudeau, and his Justice Minister Lamedi, and Trudeau's RCMP,
00:04:35.760
some young thugs aren't scary. Trudeau abiding them is scary. So what, that's another three billion U.S.,
00:04:43.300
four billion Canadian gone from the economy, like that. But back to the news story on the CBC.
00:04:48.980
Let's start with the photo caption there. No police are investigating two derailments within
00:04:54.780
two months along CP's rail line near Guernsey, Saskatchewan, despite known track problems.
00:05:03.120
Track problems? I wonder what that means. Were the tracks rusty or crooked or worn out? If they were,
00:05:11.860
that's more of a maintenance investigation. Why would police investigate a maintenance problem?
00:05:19.800
I wonder if there's something they're not telling us about the track problems. I'll read some more
00:05:25.240
from the CBC story. Public police forces are choosing not to investigate major accidents at CN and Canadian
00:05:32.060
Pacific Railway, including recent crude oil train crashes and deadly derailments. A CBC News investigation
00:05:39.600
into Canada's rail system has found. Well, I'll say. That's one way of putting it. Another way is
00:05:48.100
police are literally standing by and watching and doing nothing. Remember the blockade of the rail line
00:05:56.580
in northern Alberta? The police were there. They were standing there doing nothing. It took good
00:06:06.100
Samaritans who had to come by to take down the dangerous blockade. Remember?
0.99
00:06:10.400
Yeah, the police weren't investigating. They were hanging out, having a coffee, sitting in the warmth of
00:06:37.420
their police cars while those real guys did the work. I'm not saying the police are happy about having
00:06:43.360
their hands tied behind their back. I have trouble believing that the rank and file police joined the
00:06:48.140
RCMP, went to their training academy, learned how to be a good cop, take the oath, and then are instructed
00:06:55.140
to literally do nothing. They were instructed not to enforce the law. I don't think it was their decision.
00:07:03.620
What a disgrace. You know, the Premier of Quebec himself said there are Mohawks patrolling with AK-47s.
00:07:12.020
That's the Russian-made assault rifle, as it's commonly called. I saw another story where Quebec's
00:07:17.820
provincial police report that protesters have armor-piercing, heavy-caliber weapons.
00:07:24.600
Truly military-grade stuff. And they say that they'd need the army to help them with that.
00:07:31.840
Which Trudeau promptly ruled out. So Trudeau won't let the RCMP do anything. Quebec police say they
00:07:41.080
would need even stronger help, but Trudeau won't let the military do anything. Lamedi, the foolish
00:07:47.620
justice minister, says he's like those three monkeys. He doesn't see anything, he doesn't hear anything,
00:07:52.580
he won't say anything. It's all fine. Just some snowball fights, guys. Yeah, we're stuck
00:07:58.680
with these buffoons, but Warren Buffett isn't. He's gone. You know, under Obama, there were
00:08:04.440
protests like this in America, too. Not as widespread, but in the Dakota Access Pipeline lands, there
00:08:13.080
were hundreds of paid professional protesters blocking a pipeline in America. Obama specifically
00:08:21.420
allowed it. It was lawless. Literally, the first week Trump was inaugurated, he issued an order
00:08:27.600
in support of both the Dakota Access Pipeline and the Keystone Excel Pipeline. And those anarchic
00:08:34.740
lawbreakers were cleared out immediately. No big deal. Most of them were just paid extras. Like in a
00:08:43.420
Hollywood movie, the people standing around in the crowd, they signed up for the free money for the
00:08:47.400
festival atmosphere. Bit of excitement, a little bit of travel, maybe meet some girls, do some drugs.
00:08:54.180
Only a handful of hardcore activists were really looking for violence there. And the ringleaders of
00:08:59.180
the whole thing, they were back in the offices of the environmental organizations back in San Francisco
00:09:04.700
or Amsterdam. They weren't going to fight. It was over like that. So they're gone, and America's pumping
00:09:11.360
oil. Protesters really aren't tough, most of them. They're just used to manipulating cowards and fools.
00:09:19.040
I mean, look what Kian Bextie found when he went up to the Wet'suwet'en lands in BC this week.
00:09:24.400
It's not battle-hardened warriors. It's a bunch of liberal rich kids from Vancouver and San Francisco.
00:09:30.040
They would fold in seconds. Are you indigenous yourself? Why are you manning this, this checkpoint?
00:09:37.960
That's interesting. We're white people. What do you know?
00:09:47.080
Hi, can I help you? Yeah, I'm just wondering what's going on here.
00:09:50.540
For what? Camping. Are you indigenous yourself? No. What brings you here?
1.00
00:09:57.700
Like, I'm camping. You're camping on here for what reason?
00:10:05.620
It's fun. It's fun. I bet. No pipelines for our future. Are you protesting pipelines?
00:10:16.660
Now, I know that in the Mohawk Reserves, there actually is a warrior culture, and many of those
00:10:28.180
Mohawks have served in the military, either in the Canadian military or the American military.
00:10:33.220
But look, either there's rule of law in Canada or there isn't. And when Trudeau announces in advance
00:10:38.720
that he will do nothing, and his justice minister announces in advance that he will do nothing,
00:10:44.240
and the RCMP announces in advance that they will do nothing, that's like those malls in the United
00:10:49.920
States that put up signs saying, gun-free zone. It's an ad. It's a sign to criminals or even mass
00:10:58.240
murderers that if they go there to do their nasty work, there won't be a law-abiding gun owner to shoot
00:11:03.600
back. You're telling the criminals to come. It's an ad, really. Come do crime here. We promise we
00:11:09.440
won't stop you. Although it looks to me like Trudeau maybe just cut a quarter-billion-dollar
00:11:15.200
check to the Mohawks to make them stop stealing his lunch money. I think that's what this news means.
0.99
00:11:21.360
But back to the derailments. It's not just Saskatchewan. Here's Kean up in BC this week.
00:11:25.760
A train has derailed in Prince George, just west of where I am right now.
00:11:30.280
A school of about 28 kids has been evacuated. They've been sent to a church and they've had
00:11:36.280
their parents called and they're going to be sent to another school if their parents aren't
00:11:40.680
able to pick them up. This is the fifth train that has derailed in the last 30 days that I've
00:11:46.760
counted. I've just done some quick research on what I could find. There's a two in Saskatchewan,
00:11:51.000
in Kingston, then near Emo, Ontario as well, and then this one in Prince George. Many of these trains
00:11:57.480
have carried crude oil. Yeah, so five derailments in a month at the same time that there's a wave
00:12:03.880
of railway blockades that Trudeau and Lamedi and the RCMP have said and have shown they won't
00:12:10.040
prosecute. Pretty obvious what's going on to me. But here's what's so incredible about the CBC story.
00:12:15.720
I started reading the CBC story fascinated with the fact that the CBC, which is the chief cheerleader
00:12:21.400
for the railway blockaders. The CBC, which for 40 years has had David Suzuki, who has a foundation
00:12:27.960
full of registered anti-oil lobbyists, that CBC suddenly worried about trail derailments
00:12:34.520
and the RCMP not prosecuting anyone or even arresting or even investigating anything.
00:12:39.480
I thought, is the CBC suddenly worried about eco-terrorism after promoting it? Yeah, no.
00:12:46.360
As I read further in this article, it became apparent the CBC wants the RCMP, get this,
00:12:51.880
to prosecute the railroads themselves for spilling the oil. So not to prosecute the eco-terrorists,
00:13:01.400
they are not mentioned in the story, but the railroad companies themselves, I swear to God.
00:13:09.480
This finger-pointing and jurisdictional dodgeball means that in Canada, public police forces seldom,
00:13:16.680
if ever, investigate failures by railways in major disasters, including after a runaway train
00:13:22.520
in the BC mountains last winter that killed three crew members. In connection with that crash,
00:13:27.960
a Transportation Safety Board official has publicly called for the RCMP to investigate
00:13:32.200
potential criminal negligence. Got it. So these blockades and derailments in the last 30 days,
00:13:38.600
five of them. The CBC is trying to connect that to something a year ago, a runaway train.
00:13:45.000
The CBC knows in their bones that they're failures of the railways, negligence of the railways.
00:13:52.680
See, the railways aren't the victims of eco-terrorism. No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:13:56.520
They're the perpetrators of negligence here. That's what the CBC is saying.
00:14:02.680
The railways need to be investigated. Not the CBC's favorite eco-activists. And look at this.
00:14:11.560
This takes a very special creative writing to say this. CBC asked both CN and CP whether in the past
00:14:20.120
20 years they've ever called in outside the police to lead investigations into a major railway incident
00:14:26.760
involving a death, serious injury or derailment. Both declined to answer that question or answer
00:14:31.880
whether they have ever criminally charged an employee related to railway operations.
00:14:37.080
Got it. So this huge story on the CBC is about railway employees who the CBC thinks are criminals.
00:14:43.960
And the CBC is really mad that they haven't been investigated. And they say the police have
00:14:51.640
absolutely cleared the blockades. Don't believe your lying eyes. Let me read this next part. It's
00:14:57.240
incredible. The RCMP, OPP, Toronto Police or Hamilton Police, all of which helped clear recent rail blockades,
00:15:08.520
couldn't point to a single case over 20 years where they used their authority
00:15:11.640
to probe a railway crash or fatality. Hey, guys. Don't believe your lying eyes.
00:15:19.800
No, no, no. These protesters, they didn't do it. Believe Trudeau's CBC state broadcaster. Police totally
00:15:27.960
took down that blockade, guys. You can see it right there. See that big red flaming snowball? That's a snowball.
00:15:34.680
Police totally came in and took out that burning snowball, guys. The CBC literally said the police
00:15:41.080
helped clear the blockades. I like that. They helped clear. That's just classic.
00:15:48.600
Yeah, they helped. They helped by staying in their toasty-worn police cars while severely normal
00:15:53.400
Albertans cleared this one in Alberta. We have literally had five derailments in a month,
00:15:58.360
the month of railway blockades. And the CBC is outraged that the RCMP aren't investing the railroads
00:16:05.000
themselves for a derailment that happened years ago on some other matter. That's their big focus.
00:16:12.440
So you've got Trudeau's CBC, Trudeau's RCMP, and of course, Trudeau's main interlocutor up there with
00:16:19.000
the Whitswayton, the man who calls himself Chief Woos, who is neither a chief nor named Woos.
00:16:25.320
His mama called him Frank Jimmy Alec. And here's a little bit about him.
00:16:30.760
I was doing research on Frank Alec and I found in a newspaper from 1998 this story showing that Frank
00:16:38.040
Alec, Frank Jimmy Alec, beat his wife, was accused and convicted at a tribal circle. The elders were
00:16:47.320
presiding as judges and they convicted him and sentenced him. So it took quite some time to confirm
00:16:54.040
that the person in this article that has these egregious claims against them was indeed the
00:16:59.160
same Frank J. Alec who now considers themselves Chief Woos. Yeah, fake chief with a real criminal
00:17:08.280
record. I'm shocked. If you had three or four billion dollars like Warren Buffett, would you put it in
00:17:17.000
a pipeline project in this country? Stay with us for more.
00:17:34.280
Well, I want to give you a bit of a change of pace today. Do you ever meet friends online only? You
00:17:40.280
know what I mean? You meet someone on Facebook or Twitter before you actually meet them in real life.
00:17:45.240
Well, I did. And so today is the first day I'm going to meet one of my Twitter friends. His name
00:17:51.080
is Ali Tagva. And I got to know him through his work as the editorial brains behind a great new
00:17:59.000
conservative leaning website in Canada called Post Millennial. You probably know some of their
00:18:04.600
writers including one of my favorites, Barbara Kane. I'm a subscriber of Post Millennial. I tell you,
00:18:10.040
you got to subscribe to Post Millennial, True North, Black Locks because you got to support these
00:18:15.720
independent sites. I wouldn't say Post Millennial is a right wing as Rebel is, but I think they're
00:18:21.320
important. And one of the guys who helped shape it is Ali Tagva. Well, he told me he was moving on to
00:18:27.640
new adventures. I said, well, come on the show. Let's meet in real life and you can tell us about the
00:18:33.080
new project. And joining us in our Toronto studio is Ali Tagva. Nice to finally meet you in person.
00:18:38.840
Nice to meet you as well, Ezra. It's been a long time. It was bound to happen at some point and now
00:18:43.640
here we are. Well, congratulations on Post Millennial. I know you've moved on to the new
00:18:48.040
company, but give me just a minute. Starting a new media organization in Canada that is not completely
00:18:55.000
left wing. It's tough. I mean, you guys, I think, have a well-rounded editorial base. You have people
00:19:02.120
across the spectrum, but you're sort of dissidents too in a little bit of a way.
00:19:07.080
Yeah. Well, the way I would explain it is that I'm from Iran and growing up there really shapes
00:19:12.440
your experience and your views of the world. And you kind of see how there's this use of force
00:19:19.000
in media where if they don't like you, they'll shut you down. And when I came to Canada and I started to
00:19:24.120
grow up, I realized that a lot of that same mentality occurs here. We just do it a little
00:19:29.480
bit nicer. So, you know, you'll get kicked off from the platform or they'll ban you in this way,
00:19:34.440
or they'll say this or that as a softer way to make sure your voice isn't heard.
00:19:39.080
And that really kind of pushed me to want to create a media outlet that didn't think that way.
00:19:45.080
It was about whatever's the story, we're putting it out there. If the story's good,
00:19:48.600
if the story's bad, it's the story. And we don't need to touch it because the story speaks for itself.
00:19:54.120
So we started that, you know, a while ago. I started my first attempt at a new site maybe
00:19:59.960
three years ago. That one didn't go well because we didn't have enough funding. And eventually,
00:20:04.040
I built the network that allowed me to create the post-millennial. And early on, it was,
00:20:09.720
you know, the definition of a startup. It was me, my buddy Madison, and Matthew just working in this
00:20:15.480
tiny one-room office in the middle of nowhere, Montreal, with literally no money outside of maybe
00:20:22.440
like a $200 investment for me, a $200 investment for my business partner. And that was it. And we
00:20:28.600
went out and we worked really, really hard. I would write like eight articles a day. I wouldn't sleep
00:20:34.200
most days. And we built the network. We built the people who trusted us. And over time,
00:20:40.840
we became a powerhouse in my eyes. If you go on Facebook today, you'll notice that the post-millennials
00:20:46.520
engagement is bigger than the Toronto Star, the Toronto Sun, and probably the National Post combined.
00:20:52.360
Yeah. It's amazing. And I congratulate you for everything you did and your story of starting
00:20:58.120
off just the three years with no money. I, in our own way, we lived a similar experience here at
00:21:03.400
Rebel News. So congratulations on that. But I know you're in town for a different purpose. Now,
00:21:07.720
you told me you were stepping down. And I said, oh, where are you going? What are you doing?
00:21:11.000
I mean, you obviously have an entrepreneurial talent. I'm impressed with what you built the
00:21:16.760
post-millennia. And you surprised me. You told me you're totally leaving the news and political space.
00:21:23.080
And you're doing something very high tech. And I got to admit, I'm a bit of a techno peasant.
00:21:26.840
So help me out. What are you up to now? Because you were telling me about it just before we turned
00:21:30.360
the cameras on. It sounded interesting. So after, during my time in the media, I quickly realized that
00:21:36.840
we're rapidly approaching, if not already, in a post-privacy world. Your data is being taken
00:21:42.440
without you knowing it. And even, you know, the safest tools we think of from like Facebook to
00:21:47.960
Google, they're there. They're taking your data and they're using it for personal gain.
00:21:52.120
That's really frightening when you consider that outside of American companies, which are already
00:21:56.680
worrying, there are foreign companies which are far more aggressive with their data collection
00:22:01.560
and far more nefarious. So you have companies like TikTok, like Huawei, that are, you know,
00:22:07.400
coming to Canada. They're using their technology. And that's also being used to mine your data for
00:22:12.520
personal gain. That really pushed me to want to move on, to find something that is a solution to that
00:22:19.080
rapid loss of privacy and security. And I had a friend at a company called ZU who reached out and said,
00:22:26.520
hey, I think we have a very good connection here. We're building the post-privacy solution,
00:22:32.360
something that can actually solve these problems, make sure people's security, data, and privacy is
00:22:38.120
protected. And we're going to do it as a Canadian company. It's going to be a Canadian response to an
00:22:43.480
international problem. So give me, in a very simplified form, the how. I understand the why, but how?
00:22:52.920
So one of the first things we did is we created our own blockchain protocol. That's like the basis
00:22:58.840
of all the technologies we're building. Now blockchain technology, I'm not going to get super
00:23:03.240
into it because it's very complex. It's basically like a very, very secure form of holding and
00:23:08.840
passing on information. Now we created this protocol. And on top of this protocol, we're building a host
00:23:14.040
of products that will be integrated into your everyday life as a mechanism to keep you secure.
00:23:19.160
So the first thing we're launching is something called MoolaMail. MoolaMail is a blockchain-based
00:23:24.520
encrypted email service that won't steal your data, that won't munch it for our personal gain.
00:23:30.840
And it integrates on top of your current email address. So let's say you have Microsoft Outlook,
00:23:35.160
you put it on top of your Microsoft Outlook, and now the Chinese government cannot go into your email
00:23:40.040
and steal your information. On top of that, people can't do phishing incidents. They can't send you,
00:23:45.400
you know, scam emails because everything is whitelisted. It's controlled by you.
00:23:50.200
And that's like the first product, right? Like just the email, making sure that's secure.
00:23:54.600
So I wouldn't have to change my existing email address.
00:23:57.160
No. You would get a username, that's a MoolaMail username,
00:24:00.920
but the product right now is a plugin that goes on top of your current Outlook.
00:24:09.560
I'm very alert to the threat of Huawei, at least I think I am.
00:24:14.600
I have TikTok on my phone because I didn't know this until my kids got into it. It's so popular,
00:24:21.240
it's bigger than Twitter. I think it's the number two most downloaded app in the world right now.
00:24:26.200
So I haven't had the courage to film myself doing any TikTok dances or karaoke's yet.
00:24:32.520
But I'm checking what my kids are doing and there's a lot of fun stuff on it.
00:24:37.000
What should I be worried about and how would your blockchain technology remedy that?
00:24:45.640
Well, the technology we're developing right now would solve that, but it's not out for release.
00:24:50.280
I'm not going to get too into it, but what you should be doing is deleting TikTok immediately.
00:24:54.520
You know, I know that in the US military, they have told their,
00:24:59.880
any US military servicemen don't go on TikTok. I'm guessing that's to track where they are and
00:25:06.520
whatnot. Why should I delete TikTok? There's probably a good reason, I just don't know it.
00:25:12.200
So the problem with a company like TikTok is that when you look at the business model,
00:25:16.680
it doesn't make sense. It's a copy of a product called Vine and Vine went bankrupt because it
00:25:20.920
couldn't monetize. So why would a Chinese government product effectively come out and support a
00:25:28.600
product that can't monetize with massive amounts of money? Realistically, they're going to use that
00:25:33.480
data for their social credit system. And let's say you go to China, let's say you go to Africa,
00:25:38.040
not even China, a country where, not a country, a continent where the Chinese government has a lot
00:25:43.160
of power and influence. Well, you using TikTok might mean that you're integrated into their social
00:25:48.600
credit system. And if they don't like you, well, you go to Africa, do business, you're suddenly
00:25:53.320
blocked. So it's sort of like you almost want to keep yourself out of that bubble of them data mining
00:25:58.600
you as much as possible because foreign influence isn't just in China anymore. It's becoming multiple
00:26:04.600
countries. And as TikTok becomes bigger and bigger and more integrated into our social ecosystem,
00:26:11.080
it's harder for us to actually reject their data mining. Why do most businesses just use Google,
00:26:17.400
even though Google takes such a big cut of your profits and takes a big part of the tech stack?
00:26:22.840
Because it's the biggest game in town. TikTok is going to rapidly become the biggest game in town.
00:26:27.720
It's owned out of China. We know that effectively the largest businesses in China are almost always
00:26:33.240
in some way connected to the state. And we know that the Chinese state is someone you don't really
00:26:37.880
want to trust. There was just a report released recently about how Bombardier either without knowing
00:26:43.080
or with knowing is effectively using slave labor through the Ugar Muslims. I don't know if I want to be
1.00
00:26:51.080
connected into that ecosystem ever. Yeah. Yeah. I saw that, that there was actual slave labor.
0.98
00:26:56.600
Yeah. Like Germany had during the Second World War. It's just...
00:27:01.080
Well, I'm hopeful that it never becomes anything like that. And I hope that that was the last time.
00:27:05.400
Huh. Okay. Well, tell me a little bit more about your company. I know you just started there and it
00:27:09.960
sounds like it's very technical. So I'm guessing that you're on a little bit of a learning curve
00:27:14.040
yourself. But I thought, well, let's meet you and say hello. Tell me... So there's... We've got viewers who are
00:27:19.240
interested in technology, who are interested in privacy, who are skeptical of China, and who use
00:27:26.360
email and things like me. And, you know, I like what you've done before and I'm interested in what
00:27:32.440
you're doing now. If there's someone watching right now that wants to learn a little bit more or
00:27:36.600
buy something like this email... I don't know what the right email... Overlay email... Plugin. Plugin.
00:27:42.920
Thank you. Is it... Can they do that yet or is your technology not rolled out? So we just basically,
00:27:48.520
for the last month, we had a thousand users that were given a premium for life. They would never
00:27:53.160
have to pay and they're free to use it. We filled that list out within a week. It's completely done
00:27:58.600
now. We're shifting now to collecting more usernames for our next wave of users. So these are people who
00:28:04.680
are like testing the system kind of thing? Yeah. So the thousand are basically beta testers and
00:28:08.920
for being beta testers. They get the free premium for life. We are going to be collecting more
00:28:13.400
usernames so that once the beta testing is done, you already have your name registered. You're good
00:28:18.680
to go and we'll reach out to you and you can either use the free option or the premium option.
00:28:24.120
But the interesting thing is we're not just building, you know, the email service. If, you know,
00:28:28.600
you go to our website, MulaMail.io, you'll find a six-phase plan. And how do you spell Mula? M-U-L-A.
00:28:34.360
M-U-L-A. Like money, but better. Got it. So if you go onto our website,
00:28:38.200
you'll see a six-phase plan where we're developing everything from like healthcare technology to keep
00:28:44.680
your healthcare data private to a marketplace for actually buying things to a digital wallet.
00:28:51.080
All these things are being built. They're being built by a Canadian company that wants to respond
00:28:56.040
to this international crisis. And I think it's a good thing to want to support a Canadian company
00:29:01.640
trying to solve this privacy and security issue because it really is a problem that's going to
00:29:05.480
affect us all. And I have pride knowing that we're the ones that are going to be trying to solve
00:29:09.240
that issue. Well, that sounds interesting to me. So if folks go to MulaMail.io, can they
00:29:16.920
sign up for this or is there a way? So they should be able to sign up on it.
00:29:20.440
We're collecting usernames. Within the next little while, we'll be shifting to allowing them to get
00:29:26.040
memberships. We also have enterprise solutions. So if you want to protect your business,
00:29:30.360
while also still having access to your data so your employees can't just come in and use that privacy
00:29:35.480
for themselves, we offer those solutions as well. Well, this is very interesting to me. I have to
00:29:41.160
admit, I'm pretty low. I mean, we're in a technology business, but I don't have a deep understanding of
00:29:46.600
these things. And I guess like so many other people, I just sort of made the decision, well,
00:29:51.880
it's a hassle to read all the terms of service. I mean, so many times on a product, they say,
00:29:57.240
we've updated our terms of service, click here to read it, or just press OK. I bet you 99% of
00:30:02.680
people just press OK. They don't know what, like if you actually go through, for example, Instagram's
00:30:07.800
terms of service, you discover that you give them a license to use your photos for whatever they want
00:30:15.080
and to sub-license them for whatever they want. You still own them, but you give them the right to
00:30:20.040
do that. That's shocking, I bet, to 99% of people. I think those things happen because there's not enough
00:30:25.480
competition in the marketplace for these big tech giants. And the really cool thing about the ZU
00:30:32.760
universe that we're developing, these host of products, is that by the time we're done,
00:30:37.960
and if everything goes well, we will have a Google and Facebook killer on our hands.
00:30:42.920
We will have something that will allow you to actually take control from these large multinational
00:30:48.920
conglomerates and put your data and put your security back in your hands. And I think once people can make
00:30:54.760
those decisions for themselves, the companies will have to respond and actually start acting in good
00:30:59.560
faith and start providing a service that's reasonable. And I think there's something,
00:31:04.600
you know, we say at our business quite often. If you're not paying for the product, you are the
00:31:09.320
product. That's a very good way of looking at it. And at the end of the day, we have to make sure we stop
00:31:15.080
giving ourselves away to these companies for nothing in return.
00:31:18.040
Very, very interesting. Well, I know you just started with the new company after a great success
00:31:24.920
launching. Really, I mean, I admire Post Millennial and I'm a paying subscriber and I recommend folks
00:31:30.760
become one too. Look, folks, if you're not going to support independent media like Post Millennial,
00:31:35.240
don't expect it to stick around, you know. And I'm grateful for everyone who's watching this
00:31:39.320
because that means you're supporting Rebel News. Thank you for that. So congrats on starting
00:31:42.520
Post Millennial. I admire the product very much. And I've gotten to become friends with some of
00:31:46.200
your teammates. So I'm excited that you're doing something new. You've obviously got an
00:31:50.920
entrepreneurial spirit. You're a smart cookie. I'm still at very much square one learning about
00:31:56.040
this stuff. But I invite you to keep in touch with us as you roll these things out, give us updates on
00:32:01.160
them. And, you know, I'm not a technical expert, so I wouldn't tell my people do this or do that.
00:32:06.680
And if I did, they wouldn't even believe me anyways, because I'm not known as a technical wizard.
00:32:11.640
But I'm certainly going to poke around on the website more. I'm certainly going to look at it.
00:32:15.560
And I think about these things as an individual person. I think about my own data security.
00:32:22.280
And I do think about what have I downloaded onto my phone, because I have put TikTok on my phone.
00:32:27.800
And maybe that's a dumb thing. You've told me that it is. Last word to you, Ali. If you've got a lot
00:32:33.400
of things that are just beta testing and getting going, where do you see your company in 12 months,
00:32:40.440
God willing, if things work out? I think in general, we have a lot of very interesting products
00:32:46.440
that we're going to be rolling out this year. Some of the ones that could be very game changing
00:32:52.840
is our technology around healthcare data and gaming data for lotteries and digital gaming.
00:33:01.960
Those things could potentially revolutionize how data is used in Africa.
00:33:06.840
It's something that we're still very far away from and we're in development for.
00:33:10.680
We're definitely more focused on the Moolah message right now, rolling that out, making
00:33:14.760
it clean, making it usable and developing more features. But we could potentially be revolutionizing
00:33:20.280
Africa and data management in Africa very soon.
00:33:23.240
Hmm. Well, I wish you good luck. You've done great things so far in very short periods of time.
00:33:29.160
So I'm sure we'll have more good news from you as you go forward. Congratulations.
00:33:33.560
Well, there you have it. Ali Tagva, one of the founders of the Postmillennial,
00:33:38.600
now working on data security. We'll have his website at the bottom of the screen and
00:33:43.800
in the text below so you can check it out for yourself. Stay with us. More head on the road.
00:33:48.280
Hey, welcome back. On my interview with conservative leadership candidate Jim Carahelios,
00:34:01.960
I really like the guy. I'll be honest though, I don't know if he's got the team or the horsepower.
00:34:17.800
I think, I mean, he reminds me of what we do at The Rebel. He's, uh, exposes corruption. He
00:34:24.600
runs campaigns. He's a good egg. He's a very articulate talker. I just don't know if he's got
00:34:30.440
an army behind him. You need that if you're going to win the conservative leadership and then beat
00:34:35.720
Trudeau's army. Maurice writes, he's well-spoken and responded well to somewhat prickly questions.
00:34:42.840
However, I still believe it's too late to save this country, no matter who's in power.
00:34:46.200
So if, and when the issue of Western skepticism ever comes to a vote, I'll be voting for it.
00:34:53.400
Well, that's the thing. I sense that the country is fracturing again. I think you're going to have a
00:34:59.560
Wexit party in the West, a conservative rump and sort of a red Tory maybe breakaway. I don't know.
00:35:05.800
It depends who wins. I think it's a mess. I think the party coalition under Stephen Harper is fracturing.
00:35:12.680
And I got to tell you, I don't see anyone who I think right now would be able to beat Justin Trudeau.
00:35:17.400
Do you? Mike writes, in my opinion, Scheer ruined his chances by being unfriendly to Rebel News.
00:35:24.440
I could not vote for him. If Peter McKay follows the same path, he's a fool. Can you confirm if he is
00:35:29.480
friendly to you folks? Well, neither Aaron O'Toole or Peter McKay have yet accepted our invitation to come
00:35:37.640
on the show. And I think I would just ask them normal questions. Someone said I was slightly
00:35:43.960
prickly to Jim. I don't think I was too prickly. I mean, we've got to ask him some meaningful
00:35:48.840
questions. I thought it was a good discussion myself. I liked his answers. I think that,
00:35:53.720
oh, I should tell you that Peter McKay briefly spoke to David Menzies at an event. His staff tried to block
00:36:00.520
David and McKay gave a non-answer. Aaron O'Toole promised either, I think he promised Kian Bextie
00:36:07.960
an interview and hasn't kept that promise yet. Look, here's my point. If you can't answer questions
00:36:14.040
from me and David and Kian and the Rebel, how are you going to answer questions or deal in general
00:36:20.760
with those monsters at the CBC State Broadcaster or the rest of the bailout media? I mean,
00:36:26.120
if you can't handle us, you're not going to be able to do much. And more than that, it shows that
00:36:32.120
you're afraid of the base. We speak for, I believe, millions of Canadians. And the reason I believe
00:36:39.880
that is not arrogance, but that's how many people in Canada watch and like and subscribe to our stuff.
00:36:46.920
Our YouTube channel alone has more than 1.3 million subscribers. There's no reason not to talk to
00:36:54.840
Rebel, just like there's no reason to talk to any journalist, unless you're afraid of what the
00:36:59.480
mean girls are going to say about you. And that's what worries me. I wish we had someone who was less
0.96
00:37:05.560
afraid of the Rebel than he is afraid of the CBC. That's our show for today. There's been so much
00:37:12.360
great journalism done by my colleagues here over the last week. I really encourage you to explore our
00:37:16.920
YouTube site. And I hope you're enjoying our new website itself, rebelnews.com. Hopefully you found
00:37:22.840
it okay to log in and think it's a better site than it was before. I sure think it is. Until next time,
00:37:28.200
on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night, and keep fighting for freedom.
