Rebel News Podcast - SHEILA GUNN REID： Trudeau Liberals Spend Taxpayer Dollars on Chinese Produced Government Swag

00:00:00.000 money on government branded swag much of it produced in china today i'll show you the

00:00:21.520 outrageous expenditures and the documents to prove it then franco terrazzano of the canadian

00:00:25.940 taxpayers federation joins me to discuss other depressing ways the liberals tax you and then

00:00:31.420 waste your money on themselves shame on you you censorious a new response to an order paper

00:00:49.600 question posed by conservative mp john broussard shows us just how much taxpayer money the liberal

00:00:55.000 government blew on government branded swag for themselves and their friends or to give away

00:01:01.680 during the pandemic you know while you were struggling to make ends meet because the government

00:01:06.020 was closing your business or at least limiting your business capacity or telling you you could

00:01:10.700 not have your friends or family over for christmas or special occasions or to go to church or to have

00:01:18.900 a funeral or anything like that they were printing swag to give away the government was celebrating

00:01:27.300 itself by giving themselves completely unnecessary government branded stuff or just printing this

00:01:33.580 government branded stuff to give away to total strangers while telling you that you couldn't sing

00:01:41.040 in church because that was some sort of disease vector but also here's this pen with a government

00:01:46.380 logo on it take it home follow the science you have to wonder why though some government agencies even

00:01:53.820 need promotional items whatsoever like corrections canada on page 382 of these documents what are they

00:02:02.000 doing here are they worried that prisoners might pick a different prison system if they don't offer

00:02:07.440 stickers mugs and tote bags and bracelets for pink shirt day and of course as we go through these

00:02:13.680 documents you'll see a ton of the stuff is made in china including stuff that was manufactured for

00:02:20.160 immigration for canadian heritage and canadian natural resources they were all getting their

00:02:25.840 canada flags those little maple leaf flags made in china and these people as you'll see in these

00:02:32.600 documents sure had a love on for branded face masks so that's not even something that you would use

00:02:38.780 anymore like you might use a pen you might use a notepad you might even use tote bag although i just

00:02:47.060 don't want one a tote bag emblazoned with a government logo on it but maybe you're somebody who puts up

00:02:52.120 with that sort of stuff and you do the face masks are in the garbage right now now let's go through

00:02:58.180 these documents together on page 11 farm credit canada has so many promotional items made hats tote bags

00:03:05.020 and even children's puzzles now remember this is the agency that denied canadian farmers financing

00:03:11.340 if the farmers supported the freedom convoy maybe they needed the swag to repair their reputation

00:03:17.260 on page 35 fisheries and oceans know that they spent nearly a million dollars nine hundred thousand

00:03:24.640 dollars on promotional items but they have no clue what those items were

00:03:29.300 or anything else about them we can actually see there are 17 pages of swag listing out these

00:03:37.400 mystery expenditures with n a for every detail so not applicable or not available on page 78

00:03:45.640 indigenous services spent nine thousand dollars on promotional items to mark world tuberculosis day

00:03:53.200 because who doesn't like to have branded merch to celebrate

00:03:58.300 tuberculosis on page 97 the canadian spy agency

00:04:03.760 lists their promotional items and of course their promotional items include branded socks

00:04:11.060 some spy agency and then a sleeve for the branded socks on page 98 page 206 export development

00:04:18.660 canada spent four thousand dollars on a climate change trivia card game so this isn't environment

00:04:24.140 and climate change canada with a trivia card game not that i would want to pay for it

00:04:28.180 if they did it either but at least it would make a little bit of sense this is export development

00:04:32.580 canada these are the people who need to help me get my canola to foreign markets and they're

00:04:38.200 developing a climate change trivia card game i wonder if the trivia card game is about i don't know

00:04:44.420 how many times greta tenberg has been wrong since she started her little climate scolding campaign 1.00

00:04:53.440 on page 229 for some reason the windsor detroit bridge authority is buying branded candy and kids

00:05:01.040 construction hats and activity sheets on page 238 immigration and citizenship canada is buying canadian flags

00:05:09.600 from china which is something the liberals promised to stop way back in 2005 if we would just let them

00:05:18.000 be in power but here we are on page 288 and 219 natural resources canada well they are also getting

00:05:25.840 those canada flag pins made in china on page 313 and 314 canadian heritage also getting canadian flag

00:05:36.400 pins made in china on 328 one might wonder why a human rights museum is getting its promotional items

00:05:44.320 made in china now the human rights museum also refuses to say how much they spend on these chinese made

00:05:51.680 pins i wonder what the problem is was the slave labor price embarrassing for a human rights museum to

00:05:58.480 admit to on page 332 the national gallery bought specifically branded masks for environment minister

00:06:06.720 stephen gilbeau to visit the gallery and then presumably those masks now are in the garbage can very

00:06:13.840 environmentalist page 335 the canada race relations foundation sure needs a lot of branded merch as well

00:06:24.000 and a lot of it of course is made in china on page 379 public safety canada had get this branded fortune cookies made maybe

00:06:35.840 they should have put those warnings about china and serial killer paul bernardo being moved to medium security

00:06:44.000 in some fortune cookies so the minister in charge marco mendicino could have read the warnings on page 380

00:06:53.360 the cbsa has promotional trading cards as well i wonder what the trading cards are of the worst airports

00:07:00.720 in canada friends there's genuinely nothing the liberals won't waste your money on stay with us

00:07:08.560 franco terrazzano from the canadian taxpayers federation joins me up after the break to talk about

00:07:14.160 well frankly other ways the liberals are wasting your money on themselves hang tight

00:07:23.360 one of my favorite things to talk about here at rebel news is just how out of touch the liberals are

00:07:37.920 um because there is uh no lack of uh proof text for just how out of touch they are and how entitled they

00:07:46.960 truly are um one of my largest stories here at rebel news over the course of eight years was uncovering

00:07:53.520 the hundreds of thousands of dollars in in-flight catering that the trudeau liberals spent on i think

00:07:59.040 it was five or six international flights i mean it was just enormous while canadian families are struggling

00:08:06.080 to make ends meet because of carbon taxes and government precipitated inflation

00:08:14.320 uh it it just shows uh that the liberals are living in a completely different world disconnected

00:08:20.800 from the average canadian citizen and one of the other people i think in canada who really enjoys

00:08:27.360 although that probably might be the wrong word enjoys going through uh just the countless endless

00:08:33.840 ways the government continues to blow our money on themselves is franco terrazzano from the canadian

00:08:40.960 taxpayers federation franco thanks so much for coming on the show you have a very recent um news release

00:08:47.920 about uh your opinion and i think the majority of canadians paying attention share it that justin

00:08:55.200 trudeau just needs to rein in the cost of these out of control high-flying international trips well you

00:09:02.080 mentioned out of touch and i don't think i could even come up with a more out of touch story than this

00:09:07.760 the trudeau government spending sixty one thousand dollars to stay in a fancy hotel in new york city

00:09:13.600 to attend an anti-poverty summit do you hear that folks this is how the trudeau government fights

00:09:20.000 poverty by staying in a five-star hotel in manhattan and spending sixty one thousand dollars on hotel

00:09:27.040 rooms uh not even to mention the cost of the flights or other meals so here's a question how many people do

00:09:34.560 you think the government lifted out of poverty by spending sixty one thousand dollars on a five-star

00:09:40.160 hotel i don't think very many unfortunately you know i drilled down on the per room costs here and

00:09:47.920 i think there were some rooms that were in excess of a thousand dollars a night so you know the the sixty

00:09:52.560 one thousand dollars covers the whole delegation but why are you bringing an entire delegation to new

00:09:57.600 york by the way i was told that i could go to church on zoom so they can attend their anti-poverty

00:10:03.200 conferences via zoom but i mean they weren't reining in the cost of these the individual rooms either

00:10:10.080 well i guess trudeau had to bring his official photographer and videographer i mean how else

00:10:14.720 is trudeau gonna fight poverty here right um but no sheila all kidding aside i mean you're absolutely

00:10:20.800 right at one point they booked 39 hotel rooms why are they bringing a band of bureaucrats to go to this

00:10:27.440 two-day summit and to your point uh we've heard countless times hey zoom in zoom in don't go to

00:10:33.120 the meetings when you don't have to right stay at home well here's the thing this is becoming the rule

00:10:38.800 not the exception with this government because the government doesn't just rack up these huge tabs as a

00:10:44.160 tactic to fight poverty it's also racking up huge tabs flying international as its tactic to flight to fight

00:10:51.360 climate change right let's not forget about cop 26 the un's climate conference gab fest where canada

00:10:59.440 sent about 276 delegates it was the largest delegation of any g7 country including the host uh united

00:11:08.720 kingdom isn't that something yeah but it's also not fighting climate change it's also virtue signaling so

00:11:17.440 you know in your press release you know uh that the governor general spent seven hundred thousand

00:11:25.440 on a four-day trip to a german book fair why is she at a german book fair what's the value for canadians

00:11:33.200 there well that's the thing i mean we know that the government loves spending buckets of cash so they

00:11:40.800 can fly international and go to these fancy fairs and stay in these fancy hotels and eat that fancy food

00:11:46.960 but what value if any are taxpayers getting for it and you know let me just go back to the cop 26

00:11:52.560 example because this is just so outrageous you know uh fighting climate change gets very expensive

00:11:57.920 when your finance minister books a hotel in the wrong city right she stayed about 80 kilometers away

00:12:06.160 from the actual conference and of course they had to book a luxury chauffeur service to cart freeland

00:12:12.160 back and forth between the city and the hotel now you mentioned the governor general she doesn't 0.96

00:12:17.200 fly on the cheap we all remember that week-long trip her and her band of bureaucrats took going to dubai

00:12:24.080 for expo 2020 the entire trip cost more than a million dollars it was only a week folks and they spent

00:12:31.040 almost a hundred thousand dollars on airplane food it's crazy i mean it is absolutely insane and then

00:12:40.000 there's the symptom of justin trudeau of him wanting to be the bride at every wedding and the corpse at

00:12:46.480 every funeral canadian taxpayers federation you guys were so instrumental in getting to the bottom

00:12:53.520 of this and naming and shaming what was going on here when justin trudeau spent six thousand dollars

00:12:59.280 per night for a luxury suite to attend the queen's funeral now that's just one part of this he didn't

00:13:05.600 want to tell anybody that it was him um being the princess and the pea at the queen's funeral but the

00:13:12.800 hotel expense for the entire trip was nearly half a million dollars yeah that's absolutely right i mean

00:13:19.280 look this is such a waste of taxpayers money when you're talking about the government could have

00:13:23.520 saved money by staying at the shangri-la right that's how you know they really spared no expense

00:13:29.120 you know what i mean uh but look let's even put the money aside because we all know spending six

00:13:33.440 thousand dollars on a hotel room while canadians can barely make it paycheck to paycheck is a crazy

00:13:39.440 amount of money and that's just pure waste okay but what really irks me is that the government

00:13:44.800 wasted our money and didn't want to didn't want to come clean with us remember the months and months

00:13:49.920 and months of them essentially pulling out all the stops so canadians didn't know who stayed in that

00:13:54.960 room right like let's be honest you didn't have to be sherlock holmes to figure out it was justin

00:13:59.120 trudeau who stayed in that luxurious hotel suite but he has a duty to tell us in fact we filed an

00:14:05.760 access to information request the bureaucrats wrote down justin trudeau's name down and then they blacked

00:14:11.600 it out they redacted it now we didn't think that we don't think that would pass the sniff test so we

00:14:16.800 hired some lawyers we launched a legal challenge to force the government to come clean trudeau knew he was

00:14:21.920 going to lose in court so he finally fessed up and admitted that it was him who stayed in the

00:14:27.200 6k per night hotel room but he did so the day before or just hours before president biden came

00:14:34.480 to town he tried to bury the story you know and that's how you know it's wrong and that's how they

00:14:42.000 know it's wrong is their attempts to hide it do you recall i'm often curious because i work in access

00:14:48.720 to information so much what reason did they give you for redacting that name they gave us two reasons

00:14:56.720 was one was a personal reason but that doesn't fly uh the legal sniff test because when when they're

00:15:03.600 there on official government business and they're using taxpayers money they have a responsibility to

00:15:09.040 be honest with taxpayers on what the money was spent towards so that doesn't pass the sniff test

00:15:13.600 the other one is even crazier they gave us a security reason for why they couldn't release

00:15:19.840 who stayed in that room like five months prior so sheila unless they were worried about the terminator

00:15:25.440 traveling back in time to the hotel room you know i just don't think that there's a security

00:15:30.640 issue there at all neither did our lawyers and honestly trudeau knew that those arguments would

00:15:35.520 pass up in court and that's why he finally fessed up yeah more like the security of his poll numbers

00:15:40.800 like come on um and it's funny to see and i know this isn't maybe something that the

00:15:49.280 canadian taxpayers federation concerns themselves with but it is interesting for me as a right-leaning

00:15:55.440 journalist to see just how differently the mainstream media treats the liberals with their out-of-control

00:16:02.080 spending and expense spending versus how they treated members of stephen harper's government for

00:16:08.720 example i always go back to bev oda's 16 orange juice and nuked that woman's career um because 1.00

00:16:15.920 there was just no toleration for it not just from the canadian public she probably could have survived

00:16:22.720 the outrage from the canadian public but there was no toleration for it from her own party they were the

00:16:27.760 ones that were having none of it but the liberals they just seemed to be perfectly fine with justin trudeau

00:16:33.120 blowing money on himself i think maybe because they hope maybe he might spend some of it on them

00:16:38.160 once in a while too well i mean it's the us versus them right like let's not make no bones about it um

00:16:45.280 we are not the government the government is not us we pay tax uh we we pay a lot of our income in taxes

00:16:50.880 the latest numbers i saw was that when you add up all the different taxes that we pay federal

00:16:54.880 provincial municipal is close to half of our income is is going to taxes right um i mean with some people

00:17:01.360 that are listening it's probably more um and so we pay this taxes and what do we get out of it well

00:17:07.200 i mean it seems like the tax burden is going up and up and up and i'm not seeing better services

00:17:12.080 i mean i get to go across canada with my job to talk about different issues across the country and i

00:17:18.080 mean the roads are are a complete mess in many of the provinces um you know doesn't seem to me like

00:17:23.680 healthcare has gotten any better um what about the passports right how many hours you have to wait in

00:17:29.280 line to get something like that so you you see the government spending buckets of cash more

00:17:34.000 every year it seems like you seems like taxes are always going up and what results are we getting

00:17:38.880 for it well we know what results they're getting for it they're getting pay raise after pay raise

00:17:42.960 after pay raise they're going on all these international gab fests and they won't even tell

00:17:48.080 us what value if any we're getting for all of this

00:17:52.960 speaking of additional taxes it's one of the reasons i wanted to have you on the show is

00:17:57.600 we are about to get hammered with an additional carbon tax that nobody really seems to be aware

00:18:03.840 of and before you came before i hit record you said that's because they don't want you to be

00:18:08.240 aware of it sheila so tell us about the clean fuel standard well it's a second carbon tax right

00:18:14.560 let's call it what it is they want to call it that name because it sounds better but what it really

00:18:18.960 is is a second carbon tax okay so but here's here's what i meant when i said that to you okay so they

00:18:25.120 tried to bury the second carbon tax within fuel regulations they wanted to bury in regulation so

00:18:30.560 it's not as transparent because they're getting hammered over the carbon taxes and the higher gas

00:18:35.440 prices that have been going on in canada while inflation reached a 40 year high last year uh so

00:18:40.800 here's what the regulations do they require producers to reduce the carbon content of their fuels if

00:18:47.360 producers and companies cannot meet justin trudeau's requirements and they have to pay justin trudeau's

00:18:51.920 second carbon tax but as all your listeners will know it's not just the big industry players that

00:18:56.800 are going to feel this you're going to feel it every time you go to the pump to fuel up your minivan with

00:19:01.120 gas or to fill up that ram with diesel right and and the parliamentary budget officer the government's

00:19:06.240 own non-partisan independent budget watchdog shows that this second carbon tax will cost a family in

00:19:13.280 2030 up to 1100 sorry costs an average family up to 1100 in 2030 now that's an annual hit so 2030 onwards

00:19:25.600 the second carbon tax will cost an average family in alberta for example about 1100 bucks and folks

00:19:32.800 that's not replacing the current carbon tax that's in addition to the current carbon tax so by 2030 trudeau's

00:19:40.160 two carbon taxes will increase the price of gasoline by about 55 cents a liter and cost the average

00:19:46.880 family more than two thousand dollars every single year and the opposition to this is not just coming

00:19:55.680 from conservatives like me who say you know i've got i've got a 45 minute round trip to get a jug of

00:20:02.000 milk from the convenience store up on the highway i'm surprised you don't have cows

00:20:06.400 cows yeah don't get me started on the cartels um but you know it's for a lot of people in this

00:20:14.480 country we don't live in town this is a very sparsely populated place and it's not the outrage

00:20:20.400 against this is not just coming from people like me it's coming from fellow liberals like uh many

00:20:27.120 premiers in the atlantic provinces oh yeah i mean they are and i think the reason is is because i mean

00:20:34.000 let's just have some compassion for people right and um but the problem is is that it's tough for

00:20:39.280 politicians to have compassion for the people they're supposed to represent when they're so

00:20:43.280 financially divorced from the realities facing the people they're supposed to represent right

00:20:48.080 it's it's very difficult um to understand someone who is barely living paycheck to paycheck or who's

00:20:54.240 worried about their credit card statements going up every single month when you get to go all these

00:20:58.720 fancy parties you know you're meeting with all these lobbyists when bureaucrats are are you know

00:21:04.400 giving you these fancy briefings they're so detached from that reality but i think people are starting to

00:21:09.680 understand like look it is the government's taxation and regulations that are driving up the cost of

00:21:14.480 living and all of this is useless the carbon tax is a useless tax that does nothing for the environment

00:21:20.960 okay let's just talk about global emissions because that's that's kind of the narrative

00:21:25.280 that this is all for you know reducing global emissions well hold on a second okay canada makes

00:21:30.400 up 1.5 of global emissions so how does making it more expensive for someone in uh calgary or medicine

00:21:37.280 hat or saint john's how does it make it how is making it more expensive for them to fill up their grocery

00:21:43.600 cart or to fuel their minivan what does that do to reduce emissions in china india russia the united states

00:21:49.600 it does absolutely nothing the carbon tax is just a useless tax from the environmental

00:21:54.880 standpoint all it does is make canadians poorer well and you know these people tend to measure our

00:22:01.920 carbon footprint against people who live in equatorial regions i'm just trying not to die

00:22:07.840 for most of the winter so yeah my carbon footprint is going to be a little bit higher i think canadians

00:22:13.600 are doing pretty well considering just how darn cold and vast this place is well i mean yeah we live in a

00:22:20.800 very big very cold country right and look um we also we also have to recognize too like other

00:22:27.440 countries aren't doing this like your listeners might not know this but more than 75 of countries

00:22:33.840 do not have a national carbon tax okay more than three quarters of the countries out there do not have

00:22:40.000 a national carbon tax and as of canada day we'll have two right so like what is this all about here

00:22:47.600 because i can go through a long a laundry list of countries that have just cut gas taxes australia

00:22:52.400 cut its gas tax in half germany just cut gas taxes india israel italy the netherlands new zealand

00:22:58.080 portugal south korea cut its gas tax by 30 the united kingdom has provided billions of dollars in fuel

00:23:04.720 tax relief some of the provinces are doing the right thing newfoundland and labrador cut taxes ontario

00:23:09.360 cut taxes the daniel smith government completely suspended gas taxes i mean kudos to those governments

00:23:15.600 who are doing the right thing all while ottawa continues to raise taxes raise the cost of living

00:23:21.280 and to be honest i can guarantee you or maybe i can't say that but i bet you politicians in ottawa

00:23:27.440 every time they go buy a shell or they go buy a petro they're patting themselves on the back because

00:23:32.960 they want these high gas prices yeah and they're not getting rid of their town cars getting driven

00:23:39.040 around and um every single day to wherever they're going they're driving in a big suv or a town car for

00:23:45.200 sure they're not pulling up in a prius that's for darn sure we've all seen it with our own eyes uh

00:23:51.440 franco i want to thank you so much for coming on the show and being such a strong advocate for just

00:23:56.160 the normals of the world out there who are trying to just get by as it seems like the government is

00:24:01.200 picking our pockets even more furiously every single day how do people find your work and more

00:24:06.880 importantly support the work that the canadian taxpayers federation does because unlike a lot of

00:24:11.840 these groups you will never take a penny from the government no we never have never will i can

00:24:17.520 tell you that and and thank you so much for having me on please everyone head over to taxpayer.com check

00:24:52.320 because we don't close the comment section we actually care about what you think about

00:24:56.640 the work that we do here at rebel news because without you there is no rebel news we don't have

00:25:01.200 a sugar daddy named justin trudeau reaching into other people's pockets to take their money to give

00:25:06.080 to us to create content they don't care about as is the case with justin trudeau and the mainstream

00:25:11.120 media so if you look over my shoulder there are a few different ways where you can get in touch with

00:25:15.200 us here rebel news but also don't hesitate to leave a comment on any of the places that you might find

00:25:21.120 our work especially in this instance today youtube now i said in my interview with franco that i would

00:25:28.880 be reading your letters to ezra but then i changed my mind in between just moments ago and now i thought

00:25:36.960 that i would read your comments on our trailer for our brand new documentary called church under fire

00:25:44.400 canada's war on christianity but before i read those comments and tell you how you can see the movie

00:25:51.520 because we're taking it all across the country take a look at the trailer

00:25:54.560 in a vast land of untamed beauty hidden within its borders lie stories of unwavering faith and

00:26:05.120 resilience when the world was engulfed in fear covet 19 which is causing all of the concern right now

00:26:11.520 pastors faced an unimaginable trial they were wrongfully persecuted during the covet 19 pandemic

00:26:18.480 their voices silenced by oppressive measures and we realized something doesn't match up there's an

00:26:25.680 agenda under the surface here i cannot obey under their their wishes i cannot just obey this new norm

00:26:34.960 if you will in the face of adversity they held on to their beliefs defending the sacred right to

00:26:40.480 worship out of this property you nazis out join us on an extraordinary voyage across canada

00:26:47.440 as we shine a light on the untold stories of these pastors who were wrongfully persecuted during

00:26:53.120 covet 19 witness their courage their unwavering faith and their determination to reclaim their

00:26:59.360 voices in the face of adversity i'm not going to let those who are in ottawa determine my peace 1.00

00:27:05.680 my joy you're disobedient to the government or disobedient to god and take your pick

00:27:10.160 this summer embark on an unforgettable exploration through church under fire canada's war on

00:27:19.040 christianity a documentary that will inspire and challenge your perceptions experience their

00:27:24.960 remarkable stories a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the power of faith

00:27:40.160 now from the comment section underneath the trailer judy s 5638 writes as a christian i'm astounded

00:27:54.400 this has gone unchecked not investigated ignored by the crime monster in ottawa freedom unfortunately

00:28:02.240 with liberals winning half the by-elections yesterday where is the hope for canada's future

00:28:07.280 she's talking about the series of by-elections last week where i think the status quo was maintained

00:28:15.360 uh it's hard to flip a by-election in the middle of a term and i don't think it's indicative of the

00:28:22.480 public sentiment i think more and more people are waking up to the reality that nothing was quite as

00:28:31.040 they were told during the pandemic hindsight being 2020 people are figuring out the vaccines weren't

00:28:39.520 as effective the lockdowns weren't everything that they were sold to be and the restrictions on places

00:28:47.760 of worship were heavy-handed and completely unnecessary and i think a portion of the population now looks back

00:28:55.680 upon what we all just lived through with horror and perhaps maybe a little bit of shame for what

00:29:02.800 they didn't say as things were unfolding and as the attacks were occurring on their fellow canadian

00:29:10.240 citizens got another 888 here and now writes breaks my heart let's remember what the enemy meant for

00:29:19.120 evil god will work for good you know what i've seen this play out in real time in my communications with

00:29:26.880 these pastors they have said that more people are finding faith and finding fellowship and finding community

00:29:36.320 since the pandemic they were looking for churches to stand up against the state and the churches that did

00:29:46.160 stand up they're growing and the churches that moved communion to zoom well maybe some of those

00:29:53.280 congregations never come back because they were told by their priests by their pastors that in-person

00:29:59.920 fellowship was not vital not essential to the practice of their faith despite what the bible tells us

00:30:09.120 one last one brendan schultz 980 writes this must never be forgotten thank you for making

00:30:15.920 this generations will look back in shame but those who fought will be seen as heroes i think there's

00:30:23.040 a lot of shame to go around uh a lot of people who cheered on the lockdowns and a lot of people who

00:30:33.920 condoned the lockdowns through their silence they should really be ashamed um this was a chance to show

00:30:42.320 the world who we all really were and uh frankly a lot of people showed me exactly who they were

00:30:50.160 and i don't really like it and i learned a lot about a lot of people during the course of the

00:30:55.360 pandemic and i think uh people at home you probably feel the same way but i also hope that you learned

00:31:00.560 a lot about us here at rebel news that not only were we willing to tell the stories of the absolute

00:31:08.880 bonfire of civil liberties that was occurring around us during the pandemic but you realize

00:31:14.160 that we were people who maybe we couldn't put out that bonfire of civil liberties but we would bring

00:31:21.120 a bucket of water to do our best to stop it from spreading um through our uh partnership with the

00:31:28.320 registered canadian charity the democracy fund who helped a few of these pastors featured in our

00:31:35.840 documentary including pastor phil hutchins who spent seven days in solitary confinement for the crime of

00:31:44.560 church services singing in church during the time of covet now for those of you who just saw that

00:31:49.760 trailer um and you want to see the documentary in person we're doing something very very different

00:31:55.600 than what we have done in the past we are touring our documentary because i'm not going to lie

00:32:00.800 i'm not just saying this because i am in the documentary and i i worked with our brilliant

00:32:07.840 chief documentary filmmaker kian simoni to put it together but i think this is some of the best work

00:32:14.560 and maybe some of the most important work that we've ever done creating an historical record of what

00:32:20.240 happened in this country to places of worship at the hands of the government in the name of public health

00:32:27.280 when really it was just all about control they now know which congregations will heal before the

00:32:34.480 government instead of god but if you want to see the documentary go to savethechristians.com we have

00:32:43.440 showings all across the country we want to bring the documentary as close to the people who are in the
