Rebel News Podcast - Rebel Roundup ｜ Highlights from the WEF, UFC champ defends Canadians, Trudeau plummets in polls

00:00:00.000 Oh, hey, good morning, good afternoon, everybody, depending on what part of this beautiful country

00:00:19.540 that you're in. And it's pretty frosty still in some parts of it, including my own.

00:00:24.760 Welcome to the Rebel News Weekly Roundup. This used to be a daily show hosted by David Menzies and

00:00:32.360 a rotating cast of characters, including myself, but I think you'll agree with me.

00:00:37.660 David Menzies is the best man-on-the-street journalist in this country, and it would be

00:00:45.300 an absolute travesty to the pursuit of journalism in this country to continue to keep

00:00:51.600 that force of nature inside a studio every single day. So we tightened up the show. We're just doing

00:00:59.840 the show on Fridays now where we recap the week, and it is hosted by me because I do most of my work

00:01:06.740 from the desk where I'm at, right, Jared? This is where I do all my writing, all my filming,

00:01:11.760 so it's easier for me to just flip on a camera and talk to you guys. So we're going to talk about the

00:01:17.260 news of the day and end of the week. And as you know, there's absolutely nothing happening in the

00:01:22.500 world, and the Rebel News team is sort of just sitting on our hands waiting for news to come to

00:01:27.420 us. Of course, you realize that sarcasm because we are ripping it up in our World Economic Forum

00:01:35.280 coverage in no small part, thanks to the team on the ground there, which includes the boss,

00:01:42.280 Ezra Levant, Avi Yamini, went to Davos, Switzerland, all the way from Australia, which I understand is

00:01:49.860 a very onerous trip. I think it took them almost two full days. And then we've also got Kian Simoni,

00:01:57.820 who's a producer on the ground there, and Lincoln Jay. So they're working so hard over there. We're

00:02:05.200 going to look at some of their best work. And special shout out to the team in Toronto, but also

00:02:11.080 across the country, our diligent team of writers and journalists and producers and social media

00:02:18.320 content creators, they're all working behind the scenes watching all the World Economic Forum live

00:02:24.940 streams. Because these people say crazy things when they think only their elite buddies are watching.

00:02:30.700 Well, it's not just their elite buddies anymore. Rebel News is watching. And so we're doing our very best

00:02:36.780 to bring you accountability journalism from on the ground in Davos, Switzerland. You can see all of

00:02:43.340 their reports and support, I think, some of the most important independent journalism we've ever done

00:02:50.480 at wefreports.com. I mean, we're really outside of True North, although, and this is no offense to our

00:03:00.120 friends at True North, we're a little more rambunctious than they are on the ground. And we're really the

00:03:07.180 only independent journalists with any sort of reach whatsoever on the ground there outside of our

00:03:14.040 friends at True North. Although I think we're going to continue to inspire other people to come next

00:03:19.780 year. Let me tell you how you can get involved. And then I'll, we'll just get to the clips. Let's look

00:03:24.840 at some of these clips. And I'll, I've got some things to say, as I generally do. I'm full of

00:03:30.100 opinions, and I'll share them as they come. But I want to tear through some of these clips today,

00:03:34.900 because, I mean, the journalism speaks for itself. And I don't have to lead all my horses, you watchers,

00:03:44.340 to water to make you drink. You know exactly what these people are saying about you and your lives

00:03:51.520 in these clips. So if you are watching us on YouTube, thanks so much. 1.6 plus million sets

00:03:59.060 of eyeballs over there. We don't want to abandon you. However, YouTube is a censorship platform that

00:04:04.060 completely demonetized us. And they will also routinely erase your comments. I know some of

00:04:10.200 you out there might think that I'm doing it or we're doing it. It's not. If your comment has been

00:04:15.200 erased on YouTube, look at the big tech oligarchs to hold them responsible, we didn't do it.

00:04:24.320 But if you want to watch us on a less censorious platform, wherein actually you can support us,

00:04:30.020 you can watch us on Rumble or on Odyssey. On Rumble, you can leave a Rumble rant. On Odyssey,

00:04:35.280 you can leave something called a hyper chat. And those are the paid chats. It supports the work

00:04:39.880 that we do. And listen to me now. If your paid chat is over the $5 US minimum, I will read it on

00:04:48.580 air. So make it a good one. However, don't let that be the bar for participation because we frequently

00:04:54.560 read chats that fall under that and even sometimes clever free ones. So get chatting, get talking to

00:05:02.360 each other and you might just see your chat read by me on air. So let's get into the news.

00:05:09.880 Deputy Prime Minister Krista Freeland, hot off a terrible week, wherein her security people

00:05:19.040 roughed up and illegally arrested David Menzies for the crime of journalism on a street.

00:05:25.920 She, as you know, was on the board of trustees of the World Economic Forum. And so this is like a

00:05:31.920 homecoming week for her. She was at the World Economic Forum bragging about decarbonization.

00:05:42.280 I've got opinions as an Albertan about decarbonization. Let's let, oh, she got a new dress. 1.00

00:05:50.660 What a relief. It's conservative blue. She's wearing her Ukrainian ribbon. Of course she is.

00:05:58.660 But anyways, let's listen to Christy Freeland with her brand new World Economic Forum dress. Tell us 1.00

00:06:05.680 about the successes of decarbonization here in Canada.

00:06:10.940 This is a hugely transformative moment in the whole global economy. I think that right now we're

00:06:19.520 living through a moment which is comparable only to the industrial revolution itself. In terms of the

00:06:27.160 energy transition and the way we need to retool all of our manufacturing. That is huge. Canada's

00:06:35.560 strategy, Borge, is to say, look at these two trends and let's see how we can use them to play to Canada's

00:06:45.880 strengths. And our view is there's a lot that Canada can offer to the world in this moment. You know,

00:06:56.420 we have the critical minerals and metals that you need to build a green economy. We have a lot of clean

00:07:04.500 energy. 85% of our grid is already clean and we are investing heavily in building more clean energy.

00:07:12.660 We are a country that believes in manufacturing, has manufacturing know-how and capacity. And then you

00:07:19.420 guys spoke about industrial policy. You know, the thing that is new about industrial policy is we

00:07:28.940 are developing our economies, growing our economies at a time when we also need to accomplish the green

00:07:37.400 transition. And I spoke yesterday to a very significant international business leader who is also a big

00:07:45.100 investor in Canada. And he said to me, all the countries in the world need to be very careful

00:07:52.140 that decarbonization does not mean deindustrialization. I thought that was an extremely smart comment.

00:08:01.260 And Canada is absolutely determined that decarbonization for us will mean more jobs, more growth, more

00:08:10.880 manufacturing. And we recognize government needs to play a role to make that happen.

00:08:19.440 What on earth is that woman talking about? You know what, let's just take a minute to all just be 0.98

00:08:24.000 glad that she was for once on stage in front of people, sitting like a lady with her legs crossed. 1.00

00:08:29.760 And like, look, I'm, I'm not all that ladylike, but I know if I'm wearing a dress that I can't put my knees to

00:08:38.560 my chest as she has in the past when she exposed our, uh, alumnus Ian Bexty to her underpants in an airport

00:08:47.600 when she was changing her shoes. I've seen her, um, actually put her hair in a scrunchie while she was on the

00:08:55.840 stage in London in the UK with the UK foreign minister. And, uh, I was just absolutely mortified

00:09:02.000 at how uncouth this woman is. I say, as I'm sitting here in my lumber jacket and my sweatshirt, but 1.00

00:09:08.960 like know your audience lady. So let that's a win. That's a win for all of us for Canadian dignity.

00:09:14.720 She kept her legs crossed. So that's in the win category. Let's talk about the losses though.

00:09:20.480 So she notes that, um, and you know, frankly, rightly so that we're living through a moment

00:09:26.960 that hearkens back to the industrial revolution. She's right. Just not in the way she thinks,

00:09:31.360 because during the industrial revolution, there was, um, a lot of people who were in the peasant

00:09:36.560 class who couldn't afford, um, heat and food. And that's where we are in the pursuit of green energy.

00:09:44.560 Uh, she says that green energy policies will inspire manufacturing. Uh, Ontarians let me know in the

00:09:52.800 comment section. Remember when, uh, Dalton McGinty brought in the, uh, a whole slate of green policies

00:10:01.600 in Ontario. And then all of your manufacturing fled to greener pastures, um, like Mexico,

00:10:08.240 like the United States, like China, like your manufacturing sector went offshore because

00:10:15.280 electricity was too expensive. I remember hearing from my cousins who were running their dryer in

00:10:21.280 the middle of the night, because that was when it was most affordable because electricity just went

00:10:26.960 whoop right through the roof. Um, she's bragging about the number of, uh, green electricity projects

00:10:36.960 that are contaminating the grid. I've got opinions about this as an Albertan for those of you who

00:10:45.360 are not from Alberta. Let me tell you, Alberta has roughly 800 years of some of the cleanest burning coal

00:10:56.080 on the face of the earth under our feet. Uh, in some places you can pick it out of the ground. You can pick

00:11:02.960 it under, out of the river bed. It's like, you know, like on the side where the river's cut through,

00:11:08.000 it's there. You can see it. Uh, it's the reason why like at, at Wobbleman at Genesee, they,

00:11:14.240 they strip mine. It's good. It's good. It's relatively close to the surface. We don't have to tunnel mine

00:11:19.440 like they do in the United States. We don't do that here. It's so abundant and so close to the surface.

00:11:26.640 And yet, thanks to the NDP and their accelerated coal phase out in conjunction with the likes of

00:11:34.160 Christopher Freeland and the Liberal Party of Canada, uh, now, four years later, in a prolonged

00:11:42.480 cold snap that is not unseasonably cold, just longer than normal, we are getting amber alert

00:11:48.560 style emergency alerts to our phone telling us to don't use electricity. Use the microwave, not the stove.

00:11:55.840 Unplug the block heaters on our vehicles, which makes your vehicle just freeze up and it's

00:12:02.080 impossible to run. That's what we're getting. Um, and that's because our grid was contaminated with

00:12:08.720 both green energy, but also green energy policies, because at the same time as the NDP accelerated their

00:12:16.080 coal phase out, uh, they also brought in a carbon tax and, uh, policy uncertainty. So what's the solution?

00:12:24.240 If you don't have coal, you've got to, you need reliable base load. Coal has always been our

00:12:30.400 reliable base load. So what do you shift to natural gas? Well, natural gas plant takes up to 10 years to

00:12:36.960 get up and running. So when they accelerated this, the grid was not prepared. We're still not caught up.

00:12:43.920 And the regulatory uncertainty of having an anti oil and gas government, both in Ottawa, but also in Alberta

00:12:50.480 at the time meant that no companies wanted to build those plants because you didn't know if you were going

00:12:56.720 to be allowed to, um, if they would suddenly decide like how they decided they hated coal, that they would also

00:13:03.200 all of a sudden hate natural gas too. And we're seeing some of that already. So, um, we are, we may

00:13:12.240 have what you might describe as an abundance of green abundance of green energy, but an abundance of

00:13:18.000 green energy means it only works like 2% of the time. And the rest of the time, a place that is

00:13:24.720 oil rich, gas rich, and coal rich, um, is concerned now about catastrophic grid failures. Um, so do not

00:13:36.880 listen to a word this woman says about the green energy transition, unless you do want to go back

00:13:41.840 to the dark times of the, um, industrial revolution where you are, uh, just living in a house with a

00:13:51.520 hundred other people sleeping on the floor and burning garbage to stay warm. That's where we're

00:13:58.160 going to end up here. All right. On that dark note, let's move ahead to the next thing. This one was

00:14:03.680 comical. This one was very comical to me. This is an anti-racism policy advisor. And if you watch the, um,

00:14:12.640 name key at the bottom of the clip we're about to show you, he works for an assistant deputy minister in

00:14:20.160 the federal government. This guy is one of ours. Like we're paying this guy's salary

00:14:26.240 and he's bragging about DEI. That's diversity, equity, and inclusion. Although I like what Gavin

00:14:34.960 McInnes says when he calls it D I E like a die. Um, he's bragging about, uh, how far we've come

00:14:44.480 with D E I here in Canada. And then he totally makes something up just completely completely.

00:14:53.520 But anyways, we're not only do we pay this guy's salary, we're probably paying for him to have a

00:14:58.640 luxury vacation in Davos. It's not cheap. Um, anyway, let's hear it from this guy who now calls himself

00:15:05.040 brown bear to introduce myself in a way that you can see me here and see how I've been showing up

00:15:12.800 in this place. My name is Robert Beamish, but my spirit name is Ozawa Makwa, which means brown bear

00:15:19.360 in Ojibwe. My father is Algonquin Métis and Irish. My mother is African Jamaican and indigenous Jamaican.

00:15:25.600 So I get to bring these intersections and these lenses to my work and only the work I do in anti-racism,

00:15:30.800 but my professional life, my personal life, how I, I navigate spaces and sit in the room and hear the

00:15:35.440 conversations. And so I've been really thrilled to be able to go into sessions where we're D E I

00:15:41.440 diversity, equity, and inclusion where racial equity was put on the table. But it was always also

00:15:46.320 abundantly clear that this is on the table because it's profitable. And so we should all be doing this

00:15:52.720 because you can make a profit. Inclusion is profitable. We've seen innovation increase by,

00:15:56.800 by 20%, we've seen margins grow. We've seen employee satisfaction. And that's really encouraging

00:16:01.680 to be able to have that kind of space for this. But I think of all the times when it wasn't profitable

00:16:07.760 to be inclusive, where, where it wasn't profitable for a racial equity. And that wasn't on the table.

00:16:14.000 And where it is on the table now, and we have this confluence, there is both this kind of harrowing

00:16:19.920 feeling that I hope this stays profitable. I hope this stays profitable. And for a long time,

00:16:27.120 I've seen examples where it wasn't profitable for certain people, and they were in the way of profit,

00:16:34.240 and they experienced genocide. That's happened in Canada. Indigenous people were in the way of

00:16:41.040 progression, and they experienced genocide. And so it's a really scary thing to be in the way of profit.

00:16:51.440 Um, this guy works for us. I'm deeply embarrassed that he does. Let's talk for a second about what he

00:17:03.120 just said there. He said, I've seen examples where it wasn't profitable for certain people,

00:17:09.680 and they were in the way of profit, and they experienced genocide. What? This is Canada.

00:17:17.360 We don't genocide the wokesters. Apparently, we send them to Davos to embarrass us on an international 1.00

00:17:23.040 scale, like this guy just did. Like, what's his name? Brown Bear? Uh, we don't genocide wokesters.

00:17:30.800 We elevate them beyond their skill set, as we've seen here. He works. This horrifies me, but it explains

00:17:41.200 my farming business model. Let me go back a little. This guy is an advisor, Mr. Brown Bear, an advisor to

00:17:51.360 the deputy minister for international trade. Are you a farmer concerned about getting your exports

00:18:00.080 to market? Let's say you're a canola farmer, and you're just, you're like, is Trudeau going to annoy

00:18:05.600 India again? Possibly, uh, ending, uh, our exports to that country, and canola, I think, is our single

00:18:14.560 largest, um, we're the single largest exporter of canola in the world. Or are they going to, uh,

00:18:21.440 embarrass us, and then all of a sudden, they won't take our grain or our pulses, as is the case again

00:18:28.720 with India. Trudeau went to India, made an absolute idiot of himself, uh, just a complete jackass of 1.00

00:18:36.640 himself. And then all of a sudden, Canadian farmers are dealing with the fact that we don't have an 1.00

00:18:40.560 export market for pulses, chickpeas, which is, I mean, that's a staple in Indian food. Um, so anyways,

00:18:49.520 I look at this guy and I thank my lucky stars every day that I'm out of canola and I've become the hay

00:18:56.480 oligarch of Strathcona County, Alberta. Um, because, uh, how, how does anybody who needs to produce

00:19:07.840 something and then move it offshore to international markets look at this and have any sort of

00:19:13.440 confidence in the federal government to even maintain trade relations? What has any of this

00:19:22.520 got to do with the price of canola in India, if you know what I mean? I'm, I'm, I'm just deeply

00:19:29.720 ashamed. But anyways, we don't, the moral of the story, we don't genocide the wokesters. Um, we 0.50

00:19:35.360 let them choose their spirit name, uh, uh, at a gathering of the world's power brokers and control

00:19:45.840 freaks and elevate them in such a manner that they cause us shame on an international scale. So

00:19:52.600 thanks Robert Beamish. Thank you. Uh, let's keep going. Um, so that was the, so we've gone from

00:20:01.560 Krista Freeland, uh, just making things up completely. And then we've got, uh, Brown Bear,

00:20:09.740 uh, just telling tales at a school and, uh, making me really happy that I spent, I sell specialty blend

00:20:18.980 hay as a farmer now, and that can just be spread around locally to the stables around these parts.

00:20:27.120 And I don't have to worry about how these people are going to harm my bottom line by just saying 1.00

00:20:33.740 stupid stuff. And now we've got Javier Mille, um, Argentinian president and, uh, well, he looks like 0.99

00:20:44.880 Teen Wolf. So that kind of appeals to me. I love, uh, uh, conservative politician with fun hair

00:20:52.600 for sure. Um, and, uh, he went into the belly of the beast, the world economic forum and told them

00:21:01.120 off right to their faces. And it was refreshing and beautiful. And, uh, I love that he was completely

00:21:10.700 unafraid to be the skunk at the garden party. Let's roll this.

00:21:13.700 Good afternoon. Thank you very much. Today I'm here to tell you that the Western world

00:21:25.220 is in danger and it is in danger because those who are supposed to have to defend the values

00:21:32.180 of the West are co-opted by a vision of the world that inexorably leads to socialism and

00:21:39.680 thereby to poverty. Unfortunately, in recent decades, motivated by some well-meaning individuals

00:21:50.320 willing to help others and others motivated by the wish to belong to a privileged cast,

00:21:55.740 the main leaders of the Western world have abandoned the model of freedom for different

00:22:01.060 versions of what we call collectivism. We're here to tell you that collectivist experiments

00:22:07.000 are never the solution to the problems that afflict the citizens of the world. Rather,

00:22:14.020 they are the root cause. Do believe me, no one better place than us, Argentines, to testify

00:22:20.940 to these two points.

00:22:25.740 Imagine how shooketh the elites in the crowd were. They are still so annoyed on the internet. They're

00:22:34.000 like, why is he here? Why did he come? Who is this right-wing radical? Of course, they're invoking

00:22:42.000 the word fascism. Fascism is an expansion of government to encompass the private sector being

00:22:51.760 just basically economic enforcers of government policy, which is what we see in the Western world

00:22:59.020 from big tech, right? Like they enforce censorship through a wink and a nudge by both the Canadian but

00:23:08.880 also the American governments. He's doing his best to shrink the reach of government in the lives

00:23:15.880 of Argentinians. And I hope he does it. I mean, he's just elected. He seems to be on a pretty

00:23:23.240 aggressive tangent of just cutting government. There's that fun video he did where he posted up

00:23:29.580 all the things that the government does. And he just went through and ripped them off. I wish,

00:23:35.780 like, I absolutely wish. I hope by the time he's done, the Argentinian bureaucracy fits on a postage

00:23:44.140 stamp. But yeah, good for him going there and telling this conclave of globalist control freaks

00:23:52.680 to stay out of everybody's lives. And the expansion of government to into a socialist state leads to

00:24:01.860 poverty. And he is trying to bring Argentinians out of that. And good for him. Just so refreshing.

00:24:08.720 Good for him. I'm sure he upset a few people in the crowd, but they have it coming. Let's go to

00:24:17.560 some of our moments this week. Our, I mean, Ezra, Abby, Kian, Lincoln, Benji also from on the ground

00:24:28.920 in Davos, Switzerland, where the control freaks are gathering to control. Let's play this video

00:24:38.400 from Mark Carney. Now, Mark Carney, former head of the Bank of England, former head of the Bank of

00:24:44.060 Canada. Now the climate finance czar with the United Nations. Basically, he is the climate debanking

00:24:54.920 guy. So he has this little organization wherein if you do not meet their DEI climate social credit

00:25:06.460 scores, then they pressure financial institutions to not provide finance and insurance to major fossil

00:25:22.100 fuel projects. So, um, I mean, it's just the social credit they would apply to you. They're already

00:25:28.900 applying it to the people who might create a job for you. He's the guy doing that. Um, and because of

00:25:34.640 his connections to the financial sector, he knows exactly how to do it. And he is also frequently

00:25:42.520 floated, although he sort of plays coy, coy, cheeky about replacing Justin Trudeau as the leader

00:25:51.560 of the Liberal Party of Canada. And, uh, as we'll get to it shortly, Justin Trudeau ain't doing so hot

00:25:59.200 with Canadians, but also with his own party. So, um, anyways, there's a bit of a walk and talk here

00:26:05.900 with Mark Carney. Let's show it. Um, and then I'll tell you what I think is happening here.

00:26:17.340 Let's roll this.

00:26:18.120 Hello, how have you been? Where? Hey, watch out. Watch out. Watch out.

00:26:22.760 Guys, oh, can't take Mark Carney anywhere.

00:26:25.760 All right. I didn't do that.

00:26:26.760 How you been?

00:26:27.760 I've been all right. How are you?

00:26:29.560 I've got a couple of quick questions for you this year.

00:26:31.560 Just arrived. Thank you.

00:26:32.560 Welcome. Welcome to the party. I've been here a couple of days, only been in three pints.

00:26:37.720 Really? Nah, nah. I wouldn't have to do that. You know me.

00:26:40.200 Um, listen, I've got a question for you. What, we got here. We can do whatever.

00:26:46.200 We're the elites of the elites. Here, so let me ask you, let me ask you something. So, um,

00:26:51.800 Justin Trudeau is struggling in the polls there. Um, what would your, what would your, I guess,

00:26:58.200 advice be to Trudeau? Because you've got an election coming at least in the next couple of years.

00:27:02.120 It's pretty good of you to follow Canadian politics that close to that.

00:27:06.520 You guys are buddies. Talk to a Canuck. Talk to, I'm great. Nice to see you. But seriously,

00:27:11.800 he needs help. He's down 20 points. He has a gender gap. Women are choosing conservatives 1.00

00:27:17.720 more than liberals. I don't remember the last time that happened. What advice would you have

00:27:21.960 with the, for the youngster? The, uh, going to a central banker for a political advice is never a

00:27:27.480 good idea. Come on. We know that you're in the line, uh, you know.

00:27:30.520 I heard you had a meeting the other day with, uh, the prime minister in Ottawa. Is that correct?

00:27:34.760 Uh, I see the prime minister from time to time. In what capacity, may I ask?

00:27:40.200 Uh, I, well, uh, I do a lot of work on, uh, climate, as you know. Uh, I'm sure a big fan of that.

00:27:46.680 Do you ever, do you ever register as a lobbyist or is it just friendship?

00:27:50.920 Sorry, I don't. When you meet with the, when you meet with the PM on climate,

00:27:54.280 are you there on your own behalf or are you there on behalf of a company lobbyist?

00:27:57.560 I, um, am the UN special envoy on, uh, climate action and finance, so.

00:28:02.840 And what do you make? It's a bitter cold in Canada, down to minus 40.

00:28:06.360 Yeah, back home in Alberta. It was minus 40.

00:28:08.520 Uh, and Gilboa is saying go to electric cars. That doesn't work.

00:28:12.200 And for a week, well, you've got to have, watch out, you've got to have the full, uh,

00:28:16.680 you've got to have full capacity, right? And you've got to have, um, you've got to, you know,

00:28:21.640 one of the things we're going to need to do, uh, in Canada, across Canada, um, and this is,

00:28:27.320 you know, for the benefit of jobs in the country is, is build out the grid. You can't switch before

00:28:32.360 you build it out, number one. Number two, one of the things you need, regardless of the

00:28:38.520 form of energy you have, uh, we have is, um, is also to have what's called a capacity

00:28:45.640 market alongside, uh, the electricity market.

00:28:48.760 So you think that Gilboa's plan is a little bit hasty since we haven't done those foundational

00:28:52.680 things? Well, I think what's important is that, you know, whether it's, uh, in Alberta, Ontario,

00:28:58.680 Canada, Australia, for that matter, uh, is that you have to, yeah, you have to build,

00:29:03.880 you have to build. And it's a, it's a time to build. And look, we're in a position, uh, where

00:29:11.160 we in Canada are in a position where we have been an energy superpower. We can continue to be an

00:29:17.960 energy superpower. We've always, uh, we've always had, um, uh, the ability to develop new sources

00:29:25.880 of energy. But the PM said there was no market for natural gas. How do you feel about natural gas,

00:29:29.960 especially to relieve Ukraine and other Europeans from Russian gas? How come they are buying Russian

00:29:36.040 gas and Qatari gas, but Justin Trudeau won't let them buy Canadian gas? Well, we would have to get,

00:29:41.960 uh, to build the trains in order to do the, what are called LNG trains in order to get the gas to them.

00:29:47.960 Well, God, this is a long interview, isn't it? I'm enjoying it and I'm, and I'm doing my best to

00:29:51.800 be fair and friendly. If this was Canada, you could have him arrested. Did you see that? Your rival,

00:29:59.000 Christy Freeland had one of our reporters arrested. I think she did. I think she didn't say a word

00:30:03.480 against it. Um, on the incident, um, as you guys know very well, Canada is a rule of law country.

00:30:15.960 Canada is a democracy. Operational decisions about law enforcement are taken by the police of

00:30:23.800 jurisdiction. Quite appropriately, political elected officials have no role in the taking

00:30:32.120 of those decisions. And that's why I don't have any further comment. It was the wrong thing.

00:30:37.080 It was absolutely the wrong thing. Thank you for saying that. Look, freedom of the press. I've,

00:30:42.200 look, I've, uh, I've been a public figure in Canada, been a public figure in the UK. I know you got to

00:30:49.080 answer tough questions and you guys, you know, you asked tough questions and that's fair. Well,

00:30:53.000 I want to thank you for saying that because I have to say, Christy Freeland has not yet said anything,

00:30:57.560 uh, in the, in the vein that you have. She's been happy to let the cops do her work for her. 1.00

00:31:02.120 And if she disagrees with the cops, she hasn't said so. Well, uh, I said what I said. So, but look,

00:31:09.320 the questions you were asking earlier about, uh, energy and I'm going to have to,

00:31:12.760 well, thanks for your time. I really appreciate it.

00:31:15.160 That's important. And I appreciate it. Good luck. Thanks. Come on. I feel like until,

00:31:19.800 until next thing, until next. No, no, no. Take care. Thank you.

00:31:26.600 So what a cultural sea change from an old school liberal to Justin Trudeau's, uh,

00:31:37.560 hypersensitive, tyrannical version of liberals in Canada. Now I, he has said, Mark Carney has said

00:31:49.000 that he is not going to run for the liberals, but I think he is being courted very heavily.

00:31:56.040 And if I had to guess, uh, what we just saw there is him floating a thought bubble about whether or not

00:32:08.680 he should run because he is saying things that were not out of line with the liberal party of Paul Martin,

00:32:18.520 of John Christian, but they are in complete contrast to Justin Trudeau's version of liberalism.

00:32:28.600 So he defends the freedom of the press. He, uh, this is his second walk and talk with us. Avi Yamini got

00:32:36.520 him last year. Uh, you can see Ezra has a friendly rapport with him. I'm not sure that I agree with Mark

00:32:44.520 Carney on what he says about our energy industry in that. I don't think he's sincere when he says

00:32:52.440 those things, given his role at the United nations that we, you know, when he says we should have a

00:32:56.840 mix of energy and that includes fossil fuels and, and we should, uh, be an energy superpower. That's

00:33:05.800 something that we haven't heard, uh, a politician say at the federal level since Stephen Harper days. Um,

00:33:14.440 so I'm not sure. I, I agree with what he's saying. I just don't agree that he's sincere when he says it,

00:33:19.480 but if I had to guess, I had to guess that man is seriously considering running to replace

00:33:26.760 Justin Trudeau. And, uh, I mean, it couldn't be worse. It couldn't be worse. And how strange,

00:33:34.880 I mean, that is a bit of a stick in the eye. What he did there by, yeah, he says he hasn't ruled it

00:33:42.040 out, but then he says, uh, I've ruled it out. That is a real, uh, passive aggressive. And as

00:33:50.360 Canadians, you know, people say we're nice, but I think we're probably passive aggressive and not

00:33:55.520 nice. Um, but that is a real passive aggressive way of firing a shot across the bow of someone who

00:34:02.820 would be a challenger for the leadership of the liberal party, Christia Freeland. He just

00:34:10.460 distinguished himself as vastly different from Christia Freeland, who is basically Justin Trudeau

00:34:18.100 2.0, uh, with messy hair and a bad dress. Um, he says he defends freedom of the press and he says he

00:34:26.880 supports a robust energy mix to make sure that Canadians don't freeze in the dark. Imagine

00:34:33.540 Albertans freezing in the dark after we threatened the rest of the country with it. But she says,

00:34:39.940 no, no, freezing in the dark is what's going to create jobs. And he's saying, no, that's not how

00:34:44.120 it's supposed to work. So who knows? Who knows? I think maybe that man sees opportunity and imagine

00:34:49.820 launching your leadership, a soft launch of your leadership for the liberal party of Canada.

00:34:56.860 And you did it with rebel news in a walk and talk on the streets of Davos with Ezra Levant of all

00:35:02.340 people. Wild, wild. Okay. Let's move on to the next video because, uh, spotting these people on

00:35:10.740 the street in Davos where everybody sort of looks the same. They all sort of have the same winter

00:35:15.560 jacket, that sort of kind of dressy, but warmer winter jacket. And they're all sort of wearing

00:35:21.100 these dark suits and the world's power brokers all kind of look the same. That's how they get away

00:35:26.460 with it. But our team is doing a really great job of spotting these, uh, cookie cutter versions

00:35:34.020 of oligarchs, um, and elites. And Ezra spotted the president of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation

00:35:43.640 and had a little walk and talk with him. So let's, uh, let's watch that.

00:35:47.580 Can I ask you a few questions about the foundation? Unfortunately, I'm running late

00:35:56.360 for something. I'll walk with you. One of the criticisms is Bill Gates is sort of a master

00:36:01.720 of the universe, but he's not elected at all, but, but he exerts a lot of power. How do you feel

00:36:07.260 about that? Isn't it a little undemocratic? Is Melinda still involved with the foundation

00:36:14.140 even after the divorce? But I did not like, uh, that he'd had meetings with Jeffrey Epstein.

00:36:22.300 How many times did Bill Gates actually visit Epstein? I've seen estimates that it was in the

00:36:28.060 dozens. Is that true? Why is it that Bill Gates is out free when others who were involved with Epstein

00:36:38.000 are being prosecuted, like even Prince Andrew's in trouble? How did Bill Gates manage to skate?

00:36:44.140 What was Bill Gates' involvement in the simulation for a worldwide pandemic

00:36:53.800 just months before COVID-19? Has he ever explained that?

00:37:00.740 I was at a, uh, pavilion called We Lead. It was a women's rights organization in India.

00:37:07.400 They said that the Bill Gates Foundation was a funder. What are you doing poking around India like that?

00:37:13.320 What's Bill Gates' ambition in India?

00:37:18.980 Bill Gates says he thinks there's too many people in the world. He'd like to see

00:37:22.780 15 or 20 percent fewer people at least.

00:37:26.740 First, we've got population. The world today has 6.8 billion people. That's headed up to about 9 billion.

00:37:34.120 Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services,

00:37:40.580 we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.

00:37:43.400 And yet he's behind a lot of vaccine development.

00:37:46.500 Isn't that sort of a conflict of interest?

00:37:48.900 How can you trust a guy to make medicine if he says there's too many people in the world?

00:37:56.160 Don't you think you have an obligation to be transparent?

00:37:59.760 I don't think I'm asking any questions that you haven't heard before.

00:38:02.880 I bet you have answers to all my questions.

00:38:05.520 Why don't you just clear the air on some of these things?

00:38:08.160 Why do you think you're above scrutiny?

00:38:13.540 Bill Gates has given more than 300 million dollars to media organizations.

00:38:18.040 I think that's one reason he's been able to skate on the whole Epstein thing.

00:38:22.640 But don't you think just for the public interest,

00:38:25.560 you should have to answer some questions about the billions of dollars you spend

00:38:29.740 distorting public policy?

00:38:36.420 Who have you met with here?

00:38:38.440 And will you ever disclose that?

00:38:40.520 Or do you precisely come to Davos so your meetings are kept secret

00:38:44.500 and no one knows about them?

00:38:49.100 Do you ever talk to the media or only media that Bill Gates buys?

00:39:07.440 Awkward silence.

00:39:11.140 Are you worried that if all the details come out

00:39:13.700 about the Epstein trial

00:39:14.860 that your boss might get into legal trouble

00:39:18.900 like Prince Andrew did

00:39:20.580 or some of the others on the list?

00:39:25.820 I mean, it must have been bad

00:39:27.380 for Melinda to divorce him over Epstein.

00:39:30.640 I mean, that's what Melinda Gates said.

00:39:32.620 She said she literally divorced him

00:39:34.800 because of what she learned,

00:39:36.860 because he wouldn't stop visiting Epstein.

00:39:39.360 He was evil personified.

00:39:41.720 I had nightmares about it afterwards.

00:39:44.220 I mean, how can you work for a guy like that?

00:39:47.820 How much money has the foundation contributed to Davos?

00:39:51.720 I know that Klaus Schwab sells different tiers of participation.

00:39:55.160 How much money has the foundation put into the get-together this year?

00:40:01.880 Bill Gates wants the rest of us to eat bugs

00:40:04.400 and even drink something he calls poop water,

00:40:06.860 but he's one of the biggest agricultural landowners in America.

00:40:12.780 It's water.

00:40:13.980 What's going on there?

00:40:14.920 Why is he buying up farmland

00:40:16.440 while telling the rest of us to eat the bugs?

00:40:20.760 Does Bill Gates ever do an interview that's not scripted?

00:40:24.460 I mean...

00:40:24.880 Okay, I think that's good.

00:40:25.660 Does he ever allow himself...

00:40:28.740 If that walk and talk

00:40:32.500 were conducted by anybody other than Ezra Levant,

00:40:35.840 it would be taught in journalism schools.

00:40:41.040 That...

00:40:41.440 And I'm not just saying this because Ezra's my boss.

00:40:44.380 I'm saying this as a journalist

00:40:46.000 in awe of what I just watched there.

00:40:48.760 And I've seen that video a dozen times.

00:40:53.680 To maintain your cool,

00:40:56.080 to have a slate of like question after question

00:40:59.100 after question after question

00:41:00.180 and good questions,

00:41:01.080 not gotcha questions,

00:41:01.880 like actual questions

00:41:03.200 that normal people want answers to,

00:41:06.160 not that will cuddle

00:41:07.560 a very powerful person

00:41:10.580 as so often you see

00:41:12.280 from the likes of CNN

00:41:13.720 and we'll get into that in a second.

00:41:16.040 But to be able,

00:41:18.180 you're already,

00:41:19.600 you're swallowing adrenaline

00:41:21.600 when you're dealing with these people, right?

00:41:24.200 Because you've been outside,

00:41:26.200 you're waiting,

00:41:27.640 you don't know who you're going to see.

00:41:29.460 That's the thing.

00:41:30.420 You never know who you're going to come across.

00:41:33.140 And then you've got to,

00:41:34.700 all of a sudden,

00:41:35.520 your body just dumps adrenaline.

00:41:37.200 No matter how many times

00:41:38.300 that you've done this sort of thing,

00:41:40.080 your body just dumps adrenaline.

00:41:42.200 And then you've got to find a way

00:41:43.840 to push that down

00:41:45.200 and think clearly

00:41:46.600 and convince yourself

00:41:50.620 that that person is horrified of you.

00:41:53.960 That's what you have to remember

00:41:54.840 about powerful people

00:41:55.880 being faced with a journalist

00:41:57.060 that is contrary.

00:42:01.340 They're scared of you.

00:42:03.380 Their adrenaline is hitting them

00:42:05.080 harder than yours is. 0.80

00:42:06.680 And for Ezra to just walk down the street

00:42:09.700 and calmly fire off question

00:42:13.620 after question,

00:42:14.440 after question,

00:42:15.200 after question,

00:42:15.600 and just sweeping the range of issues

00:42:18.980 from the World Economic Forum

00:42:20.400 to Bill Gates' ownership of land

00:42:25.360 to his relationship with Epstein

00:42:26.860 and also knowing what,

00:42:29.880 like this guy's smug silence

00:42:31.280 is really something else.

00:42:33.320 And Ezra paused

00:42:35.740 and just left like 45 seconds

00:42:39.720 of awkward silence.

00:42:42.320 Now, two things are going to happen

00:42:43.460 when you give a powerful person

00:42:44.980 awkward silence.

00:42:45.680 I'm giving a free seminar

00:42:46.580 on journalism here.

00:42:47.560 As a journalist,

00:42:50.260 you often feel the need

00:42:52.700 to just sort of keep talking

00:42:53.980 and fill in the blanks.

00:42:55.160 But sometimes silence is the best

00:42:57.260 because either it's going to be awkward

00:43:01.200 and weird and like cringy, right?

00:43:05.080 As what you saw there,

00:43:06.280 which is very compelling

00:43:07.880 and the silence says a lot.

00:43:09.900 Or the subject that you're interviewing

00:43:12.320 will feel the need to start talking

00:43:14.840 and just fill in the blanks 0.99

00:43:16.780 and say dumb stuff 1.00

00:43:18.100 like Justin Trudeau does. 0.99

00:43:19.620 So never underestimate

00:43:21.620 the value of a dramatic pause

00:43:24.980 in your questioning

00:43:25.820 what you saw there.

00:43:26.640 I hope young journalists

00:43:27.640 like bookmark that video

00:43:29.660 and watch it over and over

00:43:31.220 and over again

00:43:31.880 because that is

00:43:32.840 someone who knows the issue,

00:43:35.980 is prepared for anything,

00:43:37.720 is calm under pressure.

00:43:39.960 And again,

00:43:41.260 the dramatic silence,

00:43:42.580 you must,

00:43:43.220 you must do that.

00:43:44.320 It's one of the things

00:43:46.940 that I really try to hammer home

00:43:49.860 with young journalists

00:43:51.020 is if you ask a guy a question,

00:43:53.380 let him answer

00:43:55.720 or let him ignore the question.

00:43:57.660 But either,

00:43:58.280 either are perfect.

00:43:59.960 And if you want to see more of that

00:44:01.440 just cringe-inducing walk and talk,

00:44:04.700 you can go to wefreports.com.

00:44:08.320 But man,

00:44:09.500 that's a master class

00:44:10.660 the boss put on there.

00:44:13.140 Last one.

00:44:14.320 Richard Quest,

00:44:17.440 CNN news anchor,

00:44:19.780 the network of doctors' offices

00:44:21.980 and airports.

00:44:23.780 He was in Davos

00:44:25.200 and they buttonholed him

00:44:28.540 on the street,

00:44:29.400 which really flipped the script

00:44:31.860 on that guy.

00:44:33.280 And he didn't handle it

00:44:34.940 all that great.

00:44:35.720 I mean,

00:44:36.100 he tried.

00:44:38.380 Anyway,

00:44:39.400 we asked him some questions,

00:44:41.420 we being the royal we,

00:44:42.880 us as a network,

00:44:43.920 asked him some questions

00:44:44.920 about the network's cozy relationship

00:44:47.020 with the elite

00:44:48.600 while simultaneously covering the elite.

00:44:51.340 Look at this.

00:44:52.340 Voice anywhere.

00:44:53.040 How you doing?

00:44:53.640 I'm sorry.

00:44:54.300 Not this morning.

00:44:54.820 What are you sorry about?

00:44:55.640 Well,

00:44:55.800 I'm sorry that I can't stop to talk to you.

00:44:57.480 Let's not stop.

00:44:58.060 Let's talk and walk.

00:44:58.840 We got 60 seconds.

00:45:00.020 I've got one question for you

00:45:01.360 I've been thinking about.

00:45:02.880 CNN and yourself especially,

00:45:04.380 a lot of credibility,

00:45:05.260 a lot of reputation.

00:45:06.480 But how can you ask critical questions here

00:45:08.620 if you're paying to be here?

00:45:11.200 Like,

00:45:11.320 CNN pays to be here.

00:45:12.620 So how can you critically ask questions

00:45:14.120 about the WEF?

00:45:15.160 I always find it's best

00:45:16.300 to be very careful

00:45:17.580 when walking,

00:45:18.840 talking,

00:45:19.240 and doing interviews,

00:45:20.380 particularly in snowy conditions

00:45:23.240 because I think...

00:45:24.180 Now you're avoiding the question.

00:45:25.260 I think it's because you're embarrassed.

00:45:26.960 I think it's always very important

00:45:28.840 to understand...

00:45:30.800 Now we have two against one.

00:45:32.800 I'm not against you, mate.

00:45:34.020 We're all on the side of the truth.

00:45:35.480 At least I am.

00:45:36.100 I know you are too.

00:45:36.860 Now let me ask you,

00:45:37.560 do you ski?

00:45:38.980 I have a better question

00:45:39.960 that's more in the public interest.

00:45:41.340 How can CNN report neutrally

00:45:44.340 or objectively

00:45:44.960 on the World Economic Forum

00:45:46.140 if you're paying

00:45:47.080 hundreds of thousands of dollars

00:45:48.220 to be here?

00:45:48.800 You're part of the insiders.

00:45:50.800 When you say

00:45:51.680 we are paying

00:45:53.380 hundreds of thousands of dollars

00:45:54.840 to be here...

00:45:55.640 That's right.

00:45:56.280 Precisely what do you mean?

00:45:57.840 Well,

00:45:58.340 to get access

00:45:59.580 to the inside,

00:46:01.320 CNN and the other

00:46:02.300 regime media

00:46:03.780 pay hundreds of thousands of dollars.

00:46:05.180 The other, sorry?

00:46:06.200 Regime media.

00:46:07.260 Excuse me?

00:46:08.380 Regime.

00:46:08.920 R-E-G-I-M-E. 1.00

00:46:10.160 Excuse me?

00:46:10.600 Yes.

00:46:11.920 My God,

00:46:12.700 you know,

00:46:13.640 you are,

00:46:14.440 this is fascinating.

00:46:15.540 You're not doing very well

00:46:16.500 as an answerer.

00:46:17.220 You're good as an asker,

00:46:18.380 but not as an answerer.

00:46:19.500 You are showing more cameras

00:46:20.960 to try and get me.

00:46:23.340 I'm not trying to get your mates.

00:46:24.300 I'm trying to get an answer from you.

00:46:25.620 It's different.

00:46:27.220 Lovely weather.

00:46:28.340 Tell me,

00:46:28.680 you've been here every single year.

00:46:29.920 We bumped into you last year.

00:46:31.720 This year,

00:46:32.400 the theme is

00:46:33.000 regaining trust.

00:46:34.420 Why do you think

00:46:35.180 your lords here

00:46:36.640 at WEF

00:46:37.660 have lost so much trust?

00:46:38.700 Stop it.

00:46:38.960 Stop it.

00:46:39.820 Rephrase the question

00:46:40.800 in a neutral fashion

00:46:42.840 and you might stand

00:46:44.040 a chance of getting an answer.

00:46:45.300 Like CNN does?

00:46:47.860 You don't like it

00:46:48.720 when it's...

00:46:49.480 Listen,

00:46:49.840 I think you're a great question asker.

00:46:51.260 I watch you.

00:46:51.900 I love your voice.

00:46:53.260 Answer my questions.

00:46:54.060 What's your purpose?

00:46:55.040 My purpose is to find out

00:46:56.620 how you can

00:46:57.340 be an objective journalist

00:46:58.760 but also pay

00:46:59.480 to be part of the team.

00:47:00.260 But you're assuming

00:47:00.940 we pay to be part of the team.

00:47:02.000 I know you do.

00:47:02.940 Well, show me.

00:47:03.700 All of these organizations

00:47:04.760 along here

00:47:05.460 pay an enormous amount

00:47:06.640 of money to Klaus Schwab.

00:47:07.720 And do you see us

00:47:08.800 along here?

00:47:09.580 No, you're in the inner sanctum.

00:47:11.500 For which we pay

00:47:12.760 for the facilities

00:47:13.560 of studios

00:47:14.700 and broadcasting.

00:47:15.740 Sure.

00:47:16.040 If that lets you sleep

00:47:16.880 at night, mate.

00:47:18.200 We pay for that

00:47:18.840 in all sorts of venues.

00:47:20.380 You know what?

00:47:20.940 We pay for the facilities

00:47:21.520 and I assure you, sir,

00:47:23.400 I assure you,

00:47:24.560 the numbers you have

00:47:25.740 for what we might

00:47:26.960 pay for facilities,

00:47:28.940 i.e. electricity,

00:47:30.620 tables.

00:47:31.280 And access.

00:47:32.120 No.

00:47:32.440 Hundreds of thousands

00:47:33.140 of dollars for tables.

00:47:34.120 Are they golden tables?

00:47:35.440 Yes, yes.

00:47:36.280 There is no payment

00:47:37.120 for access.

00:47:37.960 Let me just say this again

00:47:39.320 to be absolutely clear.

00:47:41.340 The access is a bonus.

00:47:42.880 The access is part

00:47:43.840 of my job.

00:47:45.560 And you would never

00:47:46.440 jeopardize that

00:47:47.280 by asking questions

00:47:48.160 that are too prickly.

00:47:49.040 Oh, you are

00:47:49.840 clearly erroneous, sir.

00:47:51.140 Show me a prickly question

00:47:52.180 you've asked here

00:47:52.860 at this place.

00:47:53.780 You'd get booted out.

00:47:54.960 Look at Klaus...

00:47:56.020 Interviews with Klaus Schwab

00:47:57.020 over the years.

00:47:58.120 We have become

00:47:58.780 too much pessimists.

00:48:00.580 Look, humankind

00:48:01.560 was driven...

00:48:03.400 There was a paradigm,

00:48:04.740 the narrative

00:48:06.100 to take care

00:48:08.020 of the next generations,

00:48:09.560 to take care

00:48:10.220 of the neighbours.

00:48:11.400 And we have lost

00:48:12.940 this capability

00:48:13.740 to a certain extent.

00:48:15.060 How do we get

00:48:16.540 that back?

00:48:18.260 Look, the world

00:48:18.980 is also full

00:48:19.700 of opportunities.

00:48:20.600 My questioning

00:48:22.100 of Klaus Schwab

00:48:23.520 has been,

00:48:25.160 over the years,

00:48:26.480 some of the

00:48:27.220 more difficult

00:48:28.200 and, if you will,

00:48:30.260 uncomfortable for West.

00:48:31.780 I don't believe that.

00:48:32.540 World Economic Forum's

00:48:33.980 theme this year

00:48:34.840 rebuilding trust,

00:48:36.980 where it aims

00:48:37.740 to hit the target.

00:48:39.660 That's also the philosophy

00:48:41.280 of the Davos curling club.

00:48:43.980 So when the skip says,

00:48:46.420 here,

00:48:47.360 you make the jewel

00:48:48.460 like that.

00:48:49.560 So that's why

00:48:50.420 it's called curling, 0.66

00:48:51.640 because you curl...

00:48:52.420 It's curves.

00:48:53.640 It's curves, yes.

00:48:55.400 Look at what I say

00:48:56.280 about WEF.

00:48:56.700 Look at the articles

00:48:57.300 I've written about WEF.

00:48:58.340 I say, basically,

00:48:59.880 my fundamental view

00:49:00.900 on WEF?

00:49:01.860 Yes.

00:49:02.160 A lot of what happens

00:49:02.960 here is a waste of time.

00:49:04.180 A lot of it is far

00:49:04.880 too expensive,

00:49:05.740 but there is real value

00:49:07.000 in people coming together

00:49:08.540 at the beginning

00:49:09.180 of the year

00:49:09.680 to see where they stand

00:49:10.780 on controversial

00:49:11.300 or political...

00:49:12.000 With no Democratic

00:49:13.060 oversight,

00:49:14.020 no opposition party,

00:49:15.260 and no independent journalists.

00:49:17.600 It is a crypto government.

00:49:19.760 It's a lobbyist festival.

00:49:22.020 It's an unregistered lobbyist.

00:49:23.980 You get away with things.

00:49:25.080 Right.

00:49:25.500 You have now transgressed.

00:49:27.120 You have followed me

00:49:27.840 for the last

00:49:28.340 however many minutes.

00:49:29.740 I've made it clear

00:49:30.440 I didn't particularly

00:49:31.340 want to be interviewed.

00:49:32.160 I've given you some answers.

00:49:33.420 Now will you let me proceed?

00:49:34.620 Go ahead.

00:49:35.080 You're about to be

00:49:35.200 in your safe space.

00:49:35.940 You're about to go

00:49:36.360 past the gate,

00:49:37.280 but why do you think

00:49:40.500 we don't get access,

00:49:42.080 but you do?

00:49:42.600 I really love the fact.

00:49:44.560 I really love it

00:49:45.680 that you will take

00:49:47.000 whatever I say

00:49:48.480 in however I say it

00:49:50.560 and manage to turn it

00:49:52.120 either...

00:49:52.680 We've learned from the master.

00:49:53.780 We've learned from the master.

00:49:54.880 You're doing it now.

00:49:55.300 I'm in CNN.

00:49:55.880 You're doing it now.

00:49:57.300 And either turn it against me

00:49:59.560 or against CNN

00:50:01.960 or against anybody else

00:50:04.660 that you deem to be

00:50:06.040 unworthy of your approval.

00:50:08.800 Well done, sir.

00:50:09.480 Go with the masters

00:50:10.220 of the universe.

00:50:11.020 Go with your people.

00:50:12.320 Go to your people.

00:50:13.440 Those are your people.

00:50:14.760 I'm looking forward to seeing

00:50:15.080 how you edit this.

00:50:16.100 It'll be raw, my friend.

00:50:17.500 Uncut.

00:50:18.140 Excellent.

00:50:18.720 In which case,

00:50:19.560 you will fully understand

00:50:20.920 it's not particularly pleasant

00:50:22.720 at half past nine

00:50:24.540 in the morning

00:50:25.000 to be ambushed by

00:50:26.260 one, two, three, four,

00:50:29.300 five people.

00:50:30.800 Five.

00:50:31.540 I don't even deploy

00:50:32.560 that many people

00:50:33.400 when I'm going to interview

00:50:34.420 a president.

00:50:34.840 You've got that many people

00:50:36.020 in the makeup room alone.

00:50:37.420 There's many criminals here

00:50:38.780 we would love to hold.

00:50:41.680 Again, masterclass.

00:50:45.040 Masterclass in the walk and talk.

00:50:47.380 Last two walk and talks,

00:50:48.640 they both said,

00:50:49.380 oh, I'm in a rush.

00:50:50.940 I can't stop to talk.

00:50:52.320 And Ezra's like,

00:50:52.960 great, we're not stopping.

00:50:54.060 Let's keep going.

00:50:55.940 I heard that he is really

00:50:57.380 clocking some steps

00:50:58.840 while he's there

00:51:01.000 because you have to.

00:51:02.740 You have, like,

00:51:03.540 these people,

00:51:04.240 if you say, like,

00:51:04.960 hey, do you have time

00:51:05.520 for an interview,

00:51:06.620 you're giving them

00:51:07.140 an easy out.

00:51:08.420 We don't care

00:51:09.160 if they have time.

00:51:09.820 We're going to

00:51:10.380 buttonhole you on the street.

00:51:12.200 That guy

00:51:13.040 is so accustomed

00:51:15.660 to doing

00:51:17.760 friendly

00:51:19.240 advertorials

00:51:21.080 instead of

00:51:22.560 actual journalism

00:51:23.640 that he was

00:51:25.140 alarmed

00:51:25.860 and

00:51:26.520 made

00:51:27.640 painfully

00:51:28.780 awkward

00:51:29.420 by real journalism.

00:51:31.760 Do you notice

00:51:32.040 how he put his hands

00:51:33.020 on Avi

00:51:33.740 and stuff like that?

00:51:34.560 That's, you know,

00:51:35.360 his attempt

00:51:35.940 to sort of

00:51:37.280 paint himself

00:51:38.840 as jovial

00:51:39.840 and not adversarial.

00:51:41.200 But let me tell you,

00:51:42.060 if Avi or Ezra

00:51:43.520 put their hands

00:51:44.180 on him,

00:51:44.760 they'd still be

00:51:45.520 in a Swiss jail.

00:51:47.300 Like,

00:51:47.440 it's just,

00:51:49.240 it's really

00:51:50.700 interesting to see

00:51:51.880 how

00:51:52.940 tough it is

00:51:55.600 for these people

00:51:56.900 to be confronted

00:51:58.680 with real journalism,

00:52:00.500 even the journalists

00:52:01.420 themselves.

00:52:02.040 great work

00:52:05.000 by the team.

00:52:05.680 And again,

00:52:06.460 another master

00:52:07.340 class

00:52:07.940 in keeping

00:52:09.580 your cool.

00:52:10.460 You could tell

00:52:11.220 that

00:52:11.740 Mr. Quest

00:52:13.260 was trying

00:52:13.880 to sort of

00:52:14.720 invite

00:52:15.920 confrontation

00:52:17.060 in the most,

00:52:18.880 again,

00:52:19.600 passive-aggressive

00:52:20.480 of ways.

00:52:21.320 And Ezra

00:52:22.120 wasn't having

00:52:22.660 any of it.

00:52:23.440 He was just,

00:52:24.160 you know,

00:52:24.540 being the happy

00:52:26.180 warrior that he is.

00:52:27.420 the mainstream media

00:52:30.600 should really

00:52:31.220 take note

00:52:32.160 of what Ezra's

00:52:34.160 been doing

00:52:34.640 in Davos.

00:52:35.800 And I love

00:52:36.780 Ezra out in the field.

00:52:38.160 It is,

00:52:39.520 it's like

00:52:40.820 David Menzies.

00:52:42.760 Ezra's really good

00:52:43.700 out in the field.

00:52:44.600 I know

00:52:44.860 it's important

00:52:45.620 for him

00:52:46.020 to get

00:52:47.760 everything off

00:52:49.320 his chest

00:52:49.800 every day

00:52:50.300 in the therapy

00:52:51.000 session for

00:52:51.640 Ezra Levant

00:52:52.240 that we call

00:52:52.760 the nightly

00:52:53.360 Ezra Levant

00:52:53.980 show,

00:52:54.800 sitting behind

00:52:55.580 the Rebel News

00:52:56.560 Plus paywall

00:52:57.240 at rebelnewsplus.com.

00:52:59.460 It's good for him,

00:53:00.740 but he's also,

00:53:01.460 he's excellent,

00:53:02.800 excellent out in the field.

00:53:03.900 And I think our viewers

00:53:04.640 at home love to see it.

00:53:06.220 Let's do an ad break

00:53:07.100 and then finish up

00:53:07.740 the last little bit

00:53:08.460 of the show.

00:53:18.300 What we are very proud

00:53:19.700 of now

00:53:20.580 is the young generation

00:53:22.300 like Prime Minister Trudeau.

00:53:24.940 They all have been

00:53:26.080 young global leaders

00:53:27.160 of the world

00:53:27.700 they couldn't make food.

00:53:28.540 We insisted

00:53:29.240 on being vaccinated,

00:53:31.560 being tested twice.

00:53:33.320 Anybody who felt

00:53:34.420 this was too much

00:53:36.540 or I said

00:53:37.240 it's an unfair question

00:53:38.340 because who will they help?

00:53:39.960 Who will they help?

00:53:41.020 But we now know

00:53:41.660 that the vaccines

00:53:42.260 do not stop transmission.

00:53:44.180 Justin Trudeau

00:53:44.840 was condemning China

00:53:45.820 for the treatment

00:53:46.320 of lockdown protesters

00:53:47.960 after what he did

00:53:49.160 to the truckers.

00:53:50.040 Why did you keep

00:53:50.680 that secret?

00:53:51.760 Do you think

00:53:52.100 he should apologize?

00:53:53.600 Have a nice day.

00:53:54.240 I won't have a nice day

00:53:55.960 until I know the answer.

00:53:59.640 Oh, that's not good.

00:54:00.780 Why is it no good?

00:54:02.760 Hillman's thing.

00:54:04.040 Are you here

00:54:04.700 just to take

00:54:05.160 your marching orders?

00:54:05.920 Is that what you're here for?

00:54:08.160 Do you want to go away?

00:54:09.340 Not really.

00:54:10.440 Greta, are you used

00:54:11.340 to gentler questions

00:54:12.540 or do you ever talk

00:54:13.920 to people

00:54:14.300 who disagree with you?

00:54:15.360 Should you not refund

00:54:22.200 to countries

00:54:23.300 that laid out

00:54:24.160 billions

00:54:25.340 for your ineffective vaccine?

00:54:28.420 I'm here to do

00:54:29.300 what you should be doing.

00:54:45.360 All right. Let's get into some news back home. Let's just quickly breeze through this story from the Toronto Star. It's based on Abacus data polling.

00:54:56.180 And it says that Justin Trudeau and his Liberals hit new lows in support. If we breeze through it, we can see that in December, Conservative support plummeted 5%, but not below the Liberals.

00:55:12.000 They're already out in front of the Liberals about, it depends on where you would look, like 8% to 13%.

00:55:19.480 But right now, the survey found that the number of people who would consider voting for the Liberals hit a new low of 41%.

00:55:30.940 That's the same figure posted by the NDP and 13 points lower than the 54% of Canadians who would vote for the Conservatives.

00:55:39.940 That's Conservative supermajority country.

00:55:43.660 And the poll was conducted between January 4th and January 9th.

00:55:54.540 Perceptions of Trudeau himself also suffered over the holiday season with 59% of those surveyed, another all-time low, having a negative view of the Prime Minister.

00:56:04.460 Only 24% of Canadians, Toronto, come to your senses, only 24% of Canadians would vote for the Liberals if a federal election were held now, compared to 41% for the Conservatives and 18% for the New Democrats.

00:56:20.460 So, what does this mean? What are my predictions here?

00:56:24.420 The Liberals are going to hang on as long as they possibly can, because above all else, their ideology is power.

00:56:33.140 They believe themselves to be the natural governing party of Canadians.

00:56:37.220 And if that means giving the radical NDP literally everything they want, then they're going to do it.

00:56:43.880 And we saw this with some of the national daycare, pharmacare, dental care programs that were NDP ideas adopted by the Liberals in an attempt to just hold on to power.

00:56:56.140 Because they know if that NDP, liberal coalition falls apart, we go to elections and it is a Kim Campbell-style decimation.

00:57:03.440 But for the Liberals this time, instead of for the Conservatives.

00:57:07.340 And who's to blame?

00:57:09.220 Well, if you ask Justin Trudeau, it's definitely not Justin Trudeau.

00:57:15.360 Let's go to this clip.

00:57:16.460 And Trudeau says that it is certain parts of the country and political parties, and they are instrumentalizing. 1.00

00:57:26.860 That's a big word for an idiot. 1.00

00:57:29.180 They're instrumentalizing divisions or intolerance into political advantage. 1.00

00:57:34.000 Same guy, by the way, same Justin Trudeau, who workshopped ideas and did public opinion polling about whether or not it would be politically advantageous to demonize the unvaccinated.

00:57:52.000 This guy is accusing other people of stoking political divisions for political advantage.

00:57:57.540 Sure.

00:57:57.840 But anyways, let's roll this clip because I think he's talking about us here in Alberta.

00:58:02.980 Anyway, let's go.

00:58:04.460 In New Brunswick recently, there's been a lot of rhetoric about gender-affirming care, and the Premier is making a lot of comments about potentially scaling that back.

00:58:13.460 I'm wondering if you're worried about that rhetoric and whether you're worried the province will scale back gender-affirming care.

00:58:19.920 I think Canada is the best country in the world, in part because Canadians respect each other.

00:58:28.640 And in Canada, people are free to be who they are, to love whom they love.

00:58:34.000 It's something that our party and, quite frankly, millions of Canadians will always stand to defend.

00:58:40.740 Unfortunately, we are seeing in certain parts of the country, in certain political parties, try to instrumentalize divisions or intolerance into political advantage.

00:58:54.980 We're a party that will always stand with everyone, be there to defend people's rights, to be who they are.

00:59:02.760 And I think that's something that all Canadians expect of their governments.

00:59:07.600 We're a government that will always stand up for people's rights.

00:59:09.960 Well, given the challenges that healthcare is facing across the country and not no surprise in New Brunswick...

00:59:16.700 Yeah, so Justin Trudeau, immensely unpopular.

00:59:23.040 He's unpopular with parents of all socioeconomic backgrounds.

00:59:28.880 He is now losing support with suburban women, which were responsible, I think, in no small part with his election the last couple of times.

00:59:41.640 Apparently, middle-aged women like myself in other parts of the country don't vote for the jobs of their husbands and their sons. 1.00

00:59:50.680 However, they vote for hair and socks.

00:59:53.620 I don't know.

00:59:54.280 His hair is not all that great.

00:59:55.640 It's just average hair.

00:59:57.240 I'd rather vote for woolies than novelty socks.

01:00:01.400 But, you know, it's pretty rich from a guy who said demonizing and dehumanizing things about people who simply made a different medical choice during the great COVID scare to complain about others instrumentalizing divisions and intolerance.

01:00:23.240 That's the most intolerant man, I think, in this country.

01:00:27.360 He's always, always, just like how he's a feminist but also a groper, how he's an anti-racist but also a guy who wore blackface so many times that he can't keep count. 0.67

01:00:37.440 He is that which he accuses others of.

01:00:40.080 It's called projection.

01:00:40.920 And I think finally, finally, some of women kind, people kind, what even is a woman, they're starting to see through it in some of the more traditional liberal voting parts of the country. 0.52

01:00:54.920 So that's a bit of a relief.

01:00:57.820 Maybe they weren't wrong to give us the vote after all.

01:01:02.680 That's a joke.

01:01:03.480 Don't send me letters.

01:01:04.200 Let's run this last clip and then we'll get to if there's, oh, yeah, Dave Shrigley, somebody, one of our writers points out that Justin Trudeau also claimed that the Freedom Convoy was sedition.

01:01:25.020 So, like, or that this lady claimed that. 0.99

01:01:29.200 Anyways, forget what I just said because we'll talk about that in a second.

01:01:33.080 I want to talk about liberal corruption.

01:01:35.440 So this liberal MP's spouse.

01:01:41.900 Improperly collected CERB.

01:01:45.440 Let's show this.

01:01:48.960 Liberal MP Lisa Heppner.

01:01:52.680 She was someone who was outspoken about the necessity for CERB.

01:02:00.340 Yeah, sorry.

01:02:00.920 We were talking about Mark Carney accused the convoy of being sedition, but now he cares about free speech.

01:02:05.460 Anyways, that's just hearkening back to our conversation about Mark Carney.

01:02:10.100 But anyways, let's talk about this liberal MP's spouse.

01:02:13.620 Improperly collecting CERB.

01:02:15.060 Sorry, I'm a little bit all over the place as we try to wrap up the show.

01:02:17.920 Lisa Heppner disclosed her husband, Michael Aitkins.

01:02:20.700 This is the just, like, chef's kiss.

01:02:24.220 A local CBC cameraman.

01:02:27.120 Faced a repayment order as he already had income and did not require COVID relief.

01:02:35.400 More than 1.1 million Canadians had, to date, have improperly claimed 2.1 billion in COVID relief.

01:02:43.440 So Lisa Heppner, who earlier praised the feds for rolling out the emergency response benefit that's colloquially known as CERB, to help Canadians, didn't comment on the matter.

01:02:59.540 I bet she didn't, was not just to help Canadians, it was to help her CBC cameraman husband, who never missed a day of work.

01:03:08.280 He improperly claimed CERB.

01:03:12.740 Anyways, this was first broken by Blacklock's reporter, who do incredible work, independent journalists.

01:03:21.500 And the state broadcaster, by the way, if they missed a day of work, most of them were sent home with full pay.

01:03:32.140 According to CBC, less than 20% of their employees, mainly those involved with essential operations, such as news presentation and news gathering, reintegrated into our office.

01:03:44.520 So now, she was also working at, when she ran this Heppner, she was working for CHCH in Hamilton, and she was also working hard every single day.

01:03:58.740 Then she ran for the Liberals, which is, I think, a lateral move when you work in mainstream journalism.

01:04:05.840 I often joke, like, when I say the media and the Liberals, but I, you know, like, I repeat myself.

01:04:10.880 This is literally true.

01:04:12.800 Like, she was a journalist who's like, also, I'm your Liberal MP now.

01:04:17.020 But yeah, her husband, who was a cameraman for the CBC, took CERB illegally, even though he was working full time.

01:04:27.080 Wow.

01:04:28.080 You know, these people, just money grubbing.

01:04:32.760 Let's also close out on this last little thing.

01:04:37.160 I'm not sure if we have any chats today to mention, but UFC champion, Sean Strickland, gave it to the Canadian media and the Canadian Liberals.

01:04:48.240 But as the joke goes, I repeat myself.

01:04:51.400 And Justin Trudeau, and he slammed gender ideology.

01:04:55.220 And I'm wondering what he's going to do after UFC.

01:05:00.040 Does he want a job as a Canadian politician or a media commentator?

01:05:04.240 I'm just curious, because he had a lot to say, and I wanted to hear it.

01:05:12.240 Anyways, let's roll this clip.

01:05:14.820 Court of gay and lesbian community in this city.

01:05:16.680 I did want to ask you something you wrote a couple of years ago.

01:05:18.740 You said, if I had a gay son, I would think I'd... 0.96

01:05:20.800 Oh, look, another, another, I'm saying the swamp, you guys, the swamp. 0.98

01:05:24.640 You become a champion, you become a star, and someone says...

01:05:26.680 Let me ask you something. 0.98

01:05:27.660 Are you, are you, are you gay? 0.90

01:05:29.240 I haven't had the chance to interact with a more diverse... 0.99

01:05:30.880 Are you, let me know, are you gay? 0.96

01:05:32.520 Can I hear, can I get an answer? 0.98

01:05:33.460 Well, no, I'm asking, I'm, this is a part of the, are you, are you a gay man?

01:05:36.180 I'm an ally of the community.

01:05:37.340 Okay. 0.76

01:05:37.940 If you had a son, then he was like, you know, you had a son, he was gay. 1.00

01:05:41.020 You'd be like, oh man, you don't, you don't want a grandkid? 0.91

01:05:43.120 No problem with it. 1.00

01:05:43.780 Oh man, well, you did, you're a weak fucking man, dude. 1.00

01:05:46.100 You're like, you're part of the fucking problem. 1.00

01:05:48.240 You elected Justin Trudeau. 1.00

01:05:49.760 Sorry about the rough language. 1.00

01:05:50.460 Would you fucking, when he sees the bank accounts, like you're just fucking pathetic. 1.00

01:05:54.020 And, and the fact that, the fact that you have no fucking backbone and, and has he shut 1.00

01:06:00.440 down your fucking country and seized bank accounts, you asked me some stupid shit like 1.00

01:06:04.360 that, go fuck yourself. 1.00

01:06:05.680 Move the fuck on, man. 1.00

01:06:06.620 You fucking coward. 1.00

01:06:06.640 That doesn't really answer the question, but I did want to ask also things you said about 1.00

01:06:09.320 the trans community.

01:06:10.040 You said, uh, this past October when they announced the Bud Light sponsorship that you'd

01:06:13.780 go so hard on Bud Light in your next fight, they'll have to accept me or denounce

01:06:16.540 me when, uh, when they know what, and we'll know what they stand for.

01:06:19.920 This guy's like, this Canadian is not that Canadian. 0.76

01:06:22.380 Are you still going to use your fight time to kind of speak on that?

01:06:24.460 Here's the thing about Bud Light.

01:06:28.200 Here's the thing about Bud Light.

01:06:31.540 10 years ago to be trans was a, what? 1.00

01:06:33.760 A mental fucking illness. 1.00

01:06:35.220 And now all of a sudden people like you have fucking weaseled your way in the world. 1.00

01:06:41.020 You are, you are an infection. 1.00

01:06:43.940 You are the definition of weakness. 1.00

01:06:47.180 Everything that is wrong with the world is because of fucking you. 1.00

01:06:50.680 And the best thing is, is the world's not buying it. 1.00

01:06:54.140 The world's not buying your fucking bullshit. 1.00

01:06:56.140 You're fucking peddling. 1.00

01:06:57.300 The world is not saying, you know what? 1.00

01:06:59.420 You're right. 1.00

01:07:00.040 Fucking chicks have dicks. 1.00

01:07:01.520 The world's not saying that world say, no, there are two genders. 1.00

01:07:04.720 I don't want my kids being taught about, you know, who they could fucking school. 0.99

01:07:08.820 I don't want my kids being taught about, you know, their sexual preference. 1.00

01:07:12.880 Like, dude, this guy is a fucking enemy. 1.00

01:07:15.540 You want to look at the fucking enemy to our world? 1.00

01:07:18.060 And it's that motherfucker right there asking these stupid fucking questions. 1.00

01:07:22.040 Sorry. 1.00

01:07:22.520 I told you UFC has been nicer.

01:07:24.240 Lance, Lance, am I, am I still good with this?

01:07:26.800 Am I, did I cross any lines? 0.99

01:07:29.020 A little, what the fuck? 0.99

01:07:30.120 I didn't say the F word. 0.99

01:07:31.060 That shirt is pretty good. 1.00

01:07:31.860 You just brought this fucking. 1.00

01:07:34.100 Okay. 1.00

01:07:34.300 Let's go.

01:07:34.740 Sorry.

01:07:35.160 I should have warned everybody about the rough language, but where do we get that shirt?

01:07:39.220 A woman in every kitchen, a gun in every hand. 1.00

01:07:44.240 Where do I get that shirt?

01:07:46.960 I love that shirt.

01:07:50.120 I would not have said some of the things he said in the way in which he said them.

01:07:55.480 In an interview.

01:07:57.340 His language is pretty rough.

01:07:58.900 I wouldn't necessarily call a person an infection, although I would say that there's definitely

01:08:04.180 a mind virus polluting the young people and that mind virus is called gender ideology. 1.00

01:08:08.980 But what did that journalist expect?

01:08:11.980 Like, let's throw out whether or not we agree with Sean Strickland and everything that he

01:08:17.800 said there.

01:08:18.160 But Sean Strickland, outspoken on these issues, wearing that shirt, do you honestly think that

01:08:29.780 if you ask a question about your personal hobby horse issue of gender theory and denounce

01:08:35.820 yourself to him as an ally of the community, did that journalist think, did he really think

01:08:43.660 that he was going to be the journalist that got Sean Strickland?

01:08:48.160 To admit that he was wrong and that he had a change of heart and you would see a kinder,

01:08:53.740 gentler version of Sean Strickland.

01:08:58.460 It's not what he thought.

01:09:00.600 I have no idea, but it just furthers my theory about the absolute narcissism of these people,

01:09:06.740 that they can force you to adopt their worldview, that they can force you to use their language,

01:09:11.200 that they can force you to play along with their delusions, that men can just,

01:09:14.940 through the magic of surgery and hormones, become a woman, that people who have never

01:09:21.720 been a woman could tell you, I feel in my heart that I am a woman, even though they have

01:09:26.860 no idea what women feel in their hearts. 1.00

01:09:28.900 The absolute narcissism that they think they can bend nature, science, biology, and you to

01:09:38.380 their worldview simply by announcing that they are an ally. It's just, it's so comical. It reminds me

01:09:47.120 of the journalist who asked that question to Pierre Polyev while Pierre Polyev was just munched in that

01:09:53.080 apple. And then that journalist got his ass handed to him on an international scale. These journalists 0.99

01:09:59.560 refused to learn like this one. Same thing happened to him. And it's just, you know, I just love seeing a

01:10:07.340 journalist, especially a bad journalist like that, just get put right into their place. We saw that

01:10:13.540 also with the CNN reporter. I mean, it happens in a multitude of ways. And we're seeing it more often.

01:10:21.140 And maybe, maybe they'll stop, but I don't think so because they are narcissists and they think 0.99

01:10:27.120 I'm going to be the one, I'm going to be the one to teach this racist, homophobe, fascist. I'll be the 0.99

01:10:35.840 one who asks them that pointed question that changes them deep inside their soul. I think we're going to

01:10:44.900 see a lot more ax murderings of journalists, metaphorically speaking, before this is all over.

01:10:51.140 Do we have any chats, Olivia? Okay, perfect. No chats. Let's wrap it up. See you guys next week.

01:11:00.520 Thanks to everybody who tuned in on one of the platforms wherein you watched us. Thanks to

01:11:05.580 everybody who engages in lively discussion. Thanks to everybody who works behind the scenes on the team

01:11:11.480 to put the show together. So it's available for you whenever you want to watch it. And, you know,

01:11:16.220 as David Menzies always says, as he's out there struggling to hang on to his sanity, stay sane.
