00:01:24.680 When Biden bans fracking, who is he really helping?

00:01:41.300 And tonight we're talking about how global elites are using the COVID crisis to install tyranny.

00:01:46.760 I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed, and you're watching The Gunn Show.

00:01:49.980 You know, for four years, the Democrats could absolutely not shut up about Russian collusion

00:02:12.740 and their unproven, unfounded, actually debunked conspiracy theories about Donald Trump colluding

00:02:19.380 with the Russians to, I don't know, seize the presidency.

00:02:23.180 However, there is real Russian collusion.

00:02:26.980 And it is between Joe Biden, the Democrats, the environmental movement,

00:02:32.120 and Russian-owned Gazprom, the Russian natural gas company.

00:02:37.860 You see, when Joe Biden keeps his promise to ban fracking the way he kept his promise

00:02:44.860 to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline, it's Gazprom and the Russians who benefit.

00:02:51.480 And it's Gazprom that is allowed to maintain its extreme stranglehold on Eastern Europe.

00:02:58.380 And the collusion part comes when the Russians are funneling money to the environmental movement

00:03:04.980 in America to lobby those very willing Democrats to do the dirty deed, to ban fracking.

00:03:12.480 And nobody's talking about any of it.

00:03:15.020 Doesn't fit that neat and tidy narrative, though, does it?

00:03:18.000 So today I'm going to be talking about that issue, plus big tech censorship,

00:03:24.380 plus COVID as a vehicle for international tyranny, and so much more with one of my very favorite guests

00:03:33.380 to the show that I frankly don't have on the show quite enough, Alex Newman of The New American

00:03:39.220 and The Liberty Sentinel and Epoch Times and about six other publications.

00:03:46.800 Anyway, here's the interview we recorded earlier.

00:03:54.380 Joining me now from his home in the freest state in the Union, and I bet the weather is wonderful there,

00:04:10.600 is Alex Newman.

00:04:11.840 He's the senior editor of The New American.

00:04:14.100 He is also the founder of The Liberty Sentinel.

00:04:17.600 He's got a new book out that we're going to talk about later.

00:04:20.800 And Alex is also a contributor to The Epoch Times and probably half a dozen other publications.

00:04:27.640 Alex, thank you so much for joining me.

00:04:29.700 Please give us an update about Florida, because I remember at the beginning of the pandemic,

00:04:35.040 the mainstream media, they couldn't shut up about how Florida was mishandling the pandemic

00:04:40.200 and that New York was doing such a great job on the pandemic.

00:04:43.800 But this week, news is that maybe New York was much, much worse than even we already know that they were bad.

00:04:54.360 Yeah, well, thank you for having me, Sheila.

00:04:55.880 It's great to be with you again.

00:04:57.520 And I'll tell you, I have never appreciated being a citizen of the great state of Florida more than I do right now.

00:05:04.580 We are so blessed here.

00:05:05.800 You know, we get visitors from California or other states and like, well, you can go to restaurants and you don't have to put a diaper on your face and you can go to church and nobody's social distancing.

00:05:16.640 Yeah, life goes on as normal here.

00:05:18.980 Sounds great.

00:05:19.980 You know, it's amazing.

00:05:21.820 And you don't appreciate it until you start realizing that everybody else is losing their liberties.

00:05:26.880 So I can tell you it is it's a great thing to be in Florida.

00:05:30.300 We do have beautiful weather outside.

00:05:32.340 It's sunny.

00:05:33.660 It was a little chilly this morning.

00:05:35.040 I know you guys in Canada are going to think this is hilarious, but it was like four degrees Celsius.

00:05:39.120 And for me, that's a little chilly.

00:05:40.620 But I went for a walk on the beach last night.

00:05:43.000 And it's just a wonderful place to be, Sheila.

00:05:45.240 I think it's minus 25 here Celsius.

00:05:47.440 So I don't know what that is in Fahrenheit.

00:05:50.200 We have Trudeau's dad's way of measuring temperature here.

00:05:56.420 So I don't know what that translates to the rest of the world.

00:05:59.720 But it is really, really cold.

00:06:01.200 Alex, I wanted to talk to you about some of the work that you're doing over at The New American.

00:06:05.580 First thing I want to talk to you about is an interview that you did with a Venezuelan-born philosopher and law export, Carlos Casanova.

00:06:14.680 And he wrote an article about how COVID is really being used to crack down on civil liberties.

00:06:24.540 And it's, I guess, as we're seeing so often, the vehicle for tyranny.

00:06:30.260 Yeah, it was a fascinating interview.

00:06:33.780 So this man was a philosophy of law professor in Venezuela.

00:06:37.260 He's a Venezuelan by birth.

00:06:38.900 And then when the totalitarians took over, he fled to Chile.

00:06:42.640 Now he's a professor of philosophy of law at Catholic University in Santiago, the capital there.

00:06:47.600 And he teamed up with an American neurologist.

00:06:50.640 And they wrote this phenomenal paper.

00:06:52.240 It's now been translated into I don't know how many languages.

00:06:54.420 Showing the medical component, the ethical component, the legal component, and showing that the so-called cure for the coronavirus, really tyranny, is infinitely more dangerous and infinitely more harmful than the supposed problem that it's taken care of.

00:07:13.140 And they talk about the religious persecution, the health damage that these lockdowns are doing, the fact that so many people are not able to get medical care.

00:07:21.260 So it was really interesting.

00:07:22.320 And, of course, he's being censored for this.

00:07:24.640 But I would really hope that people would go take a look at this, especially people who maybe have been watching too much television and they're convinced that we need tyranny to protect us from COVID.

00:07:32.540 Go read this.

00:07:33.300 It's written by one of the authors.

00:07:35.520 It's a doctor.

00:07:36.460 They know what they're talking about.

00:07:37.620 They show their evidence.

00:07:39.580 And I think at this point it really should be clear that the cure, so-called, is far, far worse than the disease.

00:07:46.440 You know, nobody really talks about that, the suicides due to, you know, extreme isolation and the, especially for men, economic crisis is a suicide trigger for men.

00:08:00.540 But we're not supposed to talk about men's mental health because, you know, ew, ew, icky, toxic masculinity.

00:08:07.500 So the left tells me.

00:08:08.820 And they don't also talk about the drug overdoses.

00:08:11.880 Again, a lot of this stuff is triggered by loneliness.

00:08:14.900 And, you know, we're worried about, and I mean, every person who dies, that's, you know, an image bearer of the divine and their life is valuable.

00:08:25.860 But what about everybody else?

00:08:28.120 These mental health issues that are being exacerbated by this forced isolation.

00:08:34.800 Humans are social creatures.

00:08:37.780 And so to force us into isolation, I mean, it is severely damaging to us.

00:08:42.160 And I often wonder about little kids.

00:08:44.020 I mean, if you're four or five years old, you spent the last year separated from normal people, which means some of your earliest memories are having to wear a mask and being told not to hug your little friends.

00:08:57.860 I think it's tragic.

00:08:59.460 It is.

00:09:00.280 And if you just look at the data component of it and you realize that these aren't just numbers, these are people's lives, you realize we are witnessing the unfolding of a tragedy that is almost unprecedented in human history.

00:09:11.580 If you look at the American numbers, 50 million people lost their jobs in the early part of the lockdown in the United States.

00:09:20.120 That's about a third of our workforce.

00:09:22.740 Imagine what that does to a family. 0.65

00:09:25.180 Imagine what that does to the person who had the job.

00:09:28.400 We've got hundreds of thousands of businesses now that are closed that will never reopen.

00:09:32.780 Every one of those was a human being.

00:09:34.920 These are people who invested their lives and their life savings and their time and everything for nothing.

00:09:41.780 Right.

00:09:41.940 It's all been destroyed.

00:09:43.780 And for what?

00:09:44.300 So people could go shop at Walmart.

00:09:45.700 So people could order from Amazon.

00:09:47.060 So that Jeff Bezos could double his net worth while he's using the Washington Post, which he bought up to promote this lockdown hysteria, to promote the demonization of people like my governor who refused to cave on this.

00:09:58.020 Because it's so grotesque.

00:10:00.120 You look at just every category of data that you look at, you realize we're watching a horror story here.

00:10:06.000 I just saw one yesterday.

00:10:06.980 The murder rate across American cities has increased by 30 percent in just one year.

00:10:12.240 There's no modern precedent for this in all of human history.

00:10:15.420 People are losing their minds, quite literally.

00:10:17.580 People's families are crumbling.

00:10:19.760 Children are being traumatized in a way that I think nobody could have imagined before this COVID.

00:10:25.980 And then you multiply this tragedy by billions of people all over the world.

00:10:30.720 And you realize the people responsible for this are criminals of the highest order, Sheila.

00:10:36.720 Yeah, we've seen some numbers come out of Canada for hospitalizations and incidents of like infants who are turning up in emergency rooms with injuries related to child abuse.

00:10:51.080 And that's that number has skyrocketed and it's due to isolation, segregation of families and the fact that we're telling people don't come to the hospital because the hospitals are overwhelmed.

00:11:06.260 And so and kids are not in school, well, where I am, kids are in school, but in a lot of places, kids aren't in school.

00:11:12.760 So there isn't that mandated reporter, that teacher, that person who can see that the child is being abused at home.

00:11:21.320 Yeah, and we need to realize, too, Sheila, this is a means to an end.

00:11:25.820 I believe the suffering that has been imposed on the people of the world, not just Canada, not just most of the American states, but Europe and Australia and all over the world, we're seeing this tyranny.

00:11:37.440 The suffering is not the end goal.

00:11:39.060 This is a means to the end goal.

00:11:40.960 And if you listen carefully, the totalitarians will tell you what that end goal is.

00:11:45.760 They want people to be absolutely desperate for a return to normalcy.

00:11:50.860 They want people to be willing to give up anything for a return to normalcy.

00:11:54.660 And so now we see organizations like the World Economic Forum, led by Klaus Schwab, saying that, oh, by 2030, you will own nothing.

00:12:02.040 OK, how are you going to take all my property?

00:12:04.480 Right. I'm not going to give you my property.

00:12:06.020 They know that if people get desperate enough after a year of this craziness, people will be ready to do anything, to give up any freedoms for even a return to a semblance of normalcy.

00:12:17.180 So we need to realize there is an objective in mind.

00:12:19.960 They're actually talking about the objective now.

00:12:22.220 They refer to it as the Great Reset.

00:12:24.020 We're going to build back better.

00:12:25.920 This is the same language coming out of the United Nations, out of the British prime minister, out of the Canadian prime minister, out of Biden.

00:12:31.580 This is a global worldwide effort to radically transform society, to completely undermine individual liberty and to rebuild in a totalitarian fashion, very much along the lines of communist China.

00:12:46.000 And we're seeing this now here, even in some of our freer states.

00:12:49.020 Sheila, I'll give you an example.

00:12:49.680 I was just interviewing an activist and he was telling me about what's happening in Georgia now.

00:12:53.700 They're putting up in some cities these cameras connected to an artificial intelligence system that will determine whether the slaves are violating COVID mandates, if they don't have their face diapers on, if they're closer than six feet.

00:13:07.980 That sounds just like the Chinese social credit system.

00:13:10.360 It's exactly what it is, Sheila.

00:13:11.820 And this is happening now globally.

00:13:13.880 The social media, the big tech companies are involved.

00:13:16.880 And it is absolutely an atrocity.

00:13:19.980 It must be resisted.

00:13:21.320 And it's going to get worse, folks, if we don't stand up and demand a return to our freedom and a return to sanity.

00:13:29.500 That's a great segue that you brought up, China, because I want to talk to you about your work on how the Chinese state has infiltrated the mainstream media in the West.

00:13:43.880 And that's something that we don't hear a lot about.

00:13:47.340 But, you know, when you are consuming mainstream media and they are not critical of China, there's a big reason for that.

00:13:55.480 That's right, Sheila.

00:13:57.400 And I actually just did a very big investigative report for the New American magazine, focusing on communist Chinese infiltration of everything.

00:14:04.300 They've infiltrated our governments.

00:14:05.980 They've infiltrated our militaries, our defense contractors, our embassies, pharmaceutical companies, including all the big vaccine manufacturers that are peddling these COVID vaccines.

00:14:15.400 They are now in everything.

00:14:16.660 And, you know, we have a saying here in America now.

00:14:19.300 It's gone kind of viral.

00:14:20.120 People say China owns Biden.

00:14:22.200 And, yeah, they do.

00:14:24.100 Right.

00:14:24.300 There was crackhead son, Hunter Biden.

00:14:26.200 We know he was in business with the Chinese.

00:14:28.460 It's not because he's a good businessman.

00:14:29.920 Right.

00:14:30.020 It's because he's connected to the big guy, as they refer to him in the email.

00:14:33.680 And then people are like, well, why isn't the media talking about this?

00:14:36.460 Well, you know, even the so-called conservative media is not talking about this.

00:14:39.660 This isn't in the Wall Street Journal.

00:14:41.320 What's going on here?

00:14:42.320 Well, now we know we've got documents proving that communist China is funneling millions of dollars to our media.

00:14:51.520 They're flying American journalists to China and whining and dining them. 0.80

00:14:55.560 So there's several parts to this story.

00:14:57.380 But I'll start with the filings under the Foreign Agent Registration Act.

00:15:02.760 It's an act that we have here in the United States that requires agents of foreign governments, including Americans, to register and to file disclosures with the Department of Justice.

00:15:11.300 It's just part of doing business.

00:15:12.800 So you have companies and foundations that are agents of communist China operating here in the United States, filing disclosures about what they're doing.

00:15:20.600 One of the things that they're doing, they're targeting journalists.

00:15:23.920 They were paying tens of thousands of dollars to an American lobbying company called BLJ, and they are grooming them.

00:15:30.300 They're taking them to fancy dinners.

00:15:31.960 They're flying them to China and introducing them to senior officials.

00:15:34.800 They're doing the same thing with our politicians, by the way.

00:15:37.300 The organization responsible for this is the China-United States Exchange Foundation, CUSF.

00:15:42.780 And it is actually founded by a guy who works for the United Front Department, which is the agency of the Chinese regime that handles overseas influence operations.

00:15:52.800 So the communist Chinese government is taking our journalists, flying them to Beijing, flying them to Shanghai, treating them like royalty.

00:15:58.620 Then they come back and they're bragging in their disclosures about how, in exchange for this, we got great articles, great opinion pieces in major newspapers.

00:16:08.000 And there's another component to this where communist China has set up a propaganda organ in the United States.

00:16:13.980 It's called China Daily.

00:16:15.220 It masquerades as a newspaper, but it's really an influence operation.

00:16:18.480 It is 100 percent owned by the communist Chinese party state.

00:16:21.500 There's no question about that.

00:16:23.060 It's well documented in its public record.

00:16:25.500 And in their Farah disclosures, they admit that they are funneling millions of dollars directly to America's media.

00:16:33.360 So they've sent millions of dollars to The Wall Street Journal, to The New York Times, to The Washington Post, to The Los Angeles Times, to The Chicago Tribune.

00:16:40.280 And in exchange, they're getting propaganda pieces appearing in these newspapers that look just like news articles, Sheila.

00:16:46.800 They look just like any other article.

00:16:48.460 And then in the bottom, in tiny print, they say, this is a sponsored article or something like that.

00:16:54.900 So your average person sees that.

00:16:56.460 They read pro-Chinese propaganda.

00:16:58.540 They don't even realize they're reading Chinese propaganda.

00:17:01.060 And then we've got a 2018 report from the Defense Department, the U.S. Defense Department, that says that communist China, through subsidiaries, is even buying up radio stations in America and broadcasting communist Chinese propaganda without even disclosing that these subsidiaries are owned by the Communist Party of China.

00:17:19.820 So why are we not hearing about all this stuff in the media?

00:17:22.520 It's because the media is compromised, Sheila.

00:17:25.000 You know, at least the Chinese have to go through that separate level in America of having to buy off the media.

00:17:33.160 In Canada, they don't have to do that.

00:17:35.600 They just directly infiltrate the political structures.

00:17:39.540 I mean, we get news releases from the Canadian government saying that Canada and China agree to work together to advance climate action and clean growth.

00:17:50.800 China, the world's largest consumer of coal.

00:17:53.200 And yet, not that I have a problem with coal, but the liberals keep telling me there's a big problem with coal.

00:17:59.720 But, I mean, this is the continual whitewashing of China on the world front by the Canadian government.

00:18:06.920 So, you know, at least in the United States, there's that extra level of hoops they have to jump through and money they have to spend in Canada.

00:18:13.600 We don't even have that.

00:18:14.720 I wanted to talk to you about, and I know this wasn't on the list of things we talked about, but because that's how I came to know you, was at the UN Climate Change Conference.

00:18:28.860 And I wanted to talk to you a little bit and just sort of get your opinion on Biden's cancellation of Keystone XL.

00:18:36.720 I'm not entirely convinced that Biden even knows that that cross-border section is even in the ground.

00:18:43.240 I don't think he realizes that, that it's, Doug, it's like eight feet under the ground.

00:18:48.660 I don't think he knows that.

00:18:50.040 I think that he thinks that the cross-border section isn't even done.

00:18:54.020 Yeah, well, he clearly doesn't understand fully what's going on.

00:18:58.360 In fact, he was caught on a hot mic saying, I don't even know what I'm signing.

00:19:01.060 He's sitting there like a drunk king signing executive orders.

00:19:03.760 I mean, no idea what he's doing.

00:19:04.780 You know, they're just sticking stuff in front of him.

00:19:06.440 And really, we shouldn't mock the guy.

00:19:09.400 It's terribly sad.

00:19:10.460 I mean, if this was our grandpa, we'd say, oh, my goodness, the poor guy's got dementia.

00:19:13.740 We've got to put him in a home quickly.

00:19:15.240 It's terribly sad.

00:19:16.640 But what's happening is actually a full court press against American energy and American energy independence.

00:19:22.920 He couldn't do a better job of supporting hostile dictatorships and communist China if he was a member of the CCP trying to support communist China.

00:19:31.980 So I'll give you an example.

00:19:32.780 Our gasoline prices, they went from $2 here in Florida when Trump left office.

00:19:36.600 They were $2.50 yesterday when I drove past the gas station.

00:19:40.520 So they've gone up 50 cents just in that tiny period since Biden's been in office.

00:19:45.620 But really, this ties right into communist China as well.

00:19:48.220 So the Keystone XL pipeline, it was a fiasco.

00:19:50.500 You know, just completely eliminated tens of thousands of high-paying, middle-class jobs that were contributing to Canadian security, American security, energy security.

00:20:01.880 And, I mean, unbelievable he would do that.

00:20:04.200 But the problem is so much larger.

00:20:05.900 I know Canadians are real concerned about that.

00:20:07.680 But the problem is much bigger.

00:20:08.940 I'll give you the Paris Agreement as an example.

00:20:10.680 And it goes right along with this China stuff.

00:20:12.320 You and I were in Paris when they were negotiating this abomination.

00:20:14.940 And what it does, and all you have to do is read the thing to see what it does, is it transfers American productive capacity over to China.

00:20:24.720 Because under the Paris Agreement, they agreed that America was going to slash CO2 emissions by 30%.

00:20:29.560 As Obama explained, under my policies, energy prices are necessarily going to skyrocket.

00:20:34.560 Well, what is an American business?

00:20:35.700 And we've lost so many businesses already.

00:20:37.740 But what is an American business that needs energy, that needs to be able to operate without hiring an army of attorneys and accountants and compliance officers supposed to do when energy prices are skyrocketing in America, when the regulatory environment is becoming more and more oppressive?

00:20:52.400 They're going to look to China.

00:20:53.700 Because under the Paris Agreement, Communist China agreed to do precisely nothing until 2030.

00:20:59.340 In fact, they said their CO2 emissions are going to continue to increase until at least 2030.

00:21:04.900 And, you know, like you, Sheila, I don't begrudge them their CO2 emissions.

00:21:08.200 I interviewed Trump's climate advisor, Dr. Will Happer, a wonderful man.

00:21:12.060 He said the Earth is starving for more CO2.

00:21:14.720 He said plants are designed to live in an atmosphere with four to five times as much CO2 as we have.

00:21:19.560 So, you know, God bless the Chinese.

00:21:20.920 They can put out as much CO2 as they want.

00:21:22.640 I don't care.

00:21:23.200 But when you have America, the U.S. government, deliberately shuttering our businesses, knowing full well that those businesses are just going to move over to China, all that CO2 is still going to be released, plus a whole lot of real pollution, you realize this is not about the climate.

00:21:37.860 If these people believed this was about the climate, they'd be just as concerned about Chinese CO2 emissions as they are about American CO2 emissions.

00:21:45.160 But they're not.

00:21:45.980 So we know this is not about the climate.

00:21:47.980 This is about shutting down what remains of our economy, destroying our middle class and boosting communist China. 1.00

00:21:54.300 You know, that is a really great point about how this is just serving to kneecap American manufacturing that was experiencing a renaissance under Trump.

00:22:05.920 We saw the exact same thing play out in Ontario, which is where our manufacturing hub here is in Canada, or it was, until they brought in all these green policies.

00:22:15.980 That severely harmed the manufacturing sector, and a lot of those businesses moved offshore, ultimately to China, where you can basically do whatever the heck you want and pay slave wages there if they're paying people at all, in the case of the Uyghurs and, I suppose, Nike. 0.77

00:22:33.560 And, you know, I bet there's a lot of unions right now who are experiencing buyer's remorse for supporting the Democrats when, I mean, I think this is the same all over.

00:22:47.960 The union leadership are dyed-in-the-wool Democrats and Democrat supporters, but the union membership, the Joe Lunchbox crowd, they're more often than not Republicans.

00:23:03.020 And somewhere along the way that switch was made, that, you know, the Democrats used to be or they used to claim to be the party of the working man, but now they're just the party of the elites, and the working man party is the Republican Party.

00:23:16.320 That's exactly right, Sheila, and a lot of union leaders have spoken out about this, probably because they need to.

00:23:22.040 But, you know, for generations now, the communists have understood the power of hijacking our labor unions because it means big money that they can use to buy politicians, and it means massive amounts of influence in terms of votes.

00:23:34.540 So, yes, you know, the union bosses will pay some lip service, oh, we support the working man, but in reality, what they're doing is funneling money that they've extracted from hardworking middle-class Americans into the campaign coffers of radical, radical totalitarians who oppose everything that their membership stands for.

00:23:52.820 It's a tragedy. It's an atrocity. There is now more and more resistance against the unions.

00:23:59.020 In fact, we've seen lawsuits now, even the teachers' union. We had a wonderful teacher in California, Rebecca Friedrichs, who actually serves on the board of an organization that we founded.

00:24:08.600 She sued the National Education Association all the way up to the Supreme Court and won.

00:24:11.980 She said, look, they're taking my money out of my paycheck, and they're using it to support candidates and policies that I find horrifying.

00:24:18.520 How can they do this? And the Supreme Court ruled, nope, they can't do that to you, but it's a long fight ahead.

00:24:23.980 You know, for a long time, a lot of our union leaders were anti-communists, and they did support the working class people.

00:24:29.240 They truly were interested in higher wages and so on, and so they supported proper border enforcement so we wouldn't have a flood of cheap, unskilled labor to undercut American wages.

00:24:38.600 But not anymore. Most of the union leadership today, unfortunately, is completely hostile to the American workers they supposedly represent.

00:24:46.900 You know, as you were talking about Keystone XL, I was jotting some notes down because you were talking about how it helps China.

00:24:53.720 But if you want to talk about Russian collusion, nothing helps Russia more and Gazprom more than banning fracking, and that is definitely a Joe Biden agenda.

00:25:05.720 You are exactly right, Sheila. And actually, at the last climate summit, that's one of the things that we made a big issue.

00:25:12.520 We had found out that the Russian regime, the Kremlin and Gazprom, were funneling Russian oil money into a shadowy shell corporation based in Bermuda called Klein Limited.

00:25:24.340 And this is all the paper trail is all there. Our Congress actually discovered this.

00:25:28.440 And of course, the fake media didn't say a word about it because they were trying to spin conspiracy theories about Trump supposedly being in bed with the Russians when really it was the American environmental groups.

00:25:37.420 And so the Kremlin and Gazprom are funneling money to this shell corporation in Bermuda, and then the shell corporation in Bermuda was funneling it to the Sea Change Foundation in America, which was then distributing it to all these astroturf groups like the Climate Action Network and all the rest of it.

00:25:53.520 And all these dumb environmental groups, all these pseudo grassroots groups were out there saying, we want oil in the ground.

00:26:00.060 Well, who does that benefit? Of course, it benefits Putin and Gazprom in terms of keeping Europe under control and dependent on Russian energy in terms of boosting Russian exports, which for Russia, that's a huge percentage of their GDP and their foreign money coming into the Treasury. 0.89

00:26:14.120 So I'm so glad you brought that up. You know, when they talk about Russia collusion, we ought to hold a mirror right up to their face.

00:26:21.420 And I talked to a whole bunch of the guys. I talked to the Russian team that was at the U.N. summit.

00:26:26.200 I talked to the activists that were receiving Russian money through Klein Limited and Sea Change Foundation.

00:26:30.840 Nobody wanted to talk about it, but the paper trail is all there. Our Congress released a report about it.

00:26:35.740 And these people, I think, ought to be exposed and held accountable.

00:26:38.820 Yeah. I mean, think about the hundreds of thousands of jobs in America that the Russians could kill by funding and the entire anti-fracking movement. 0.90

00:26:52.140 And yet the mainstream media doesn't want to talk about it and the Democrats don't want to talk about it because it's their own voter base that's rallying against fracking.

00:27:00.700 Now, I wanted to talk to you very quickly about big tech censorship.

00:27:05.980 I think we're in for a rough road for the next four years, specifically people like you and I who do a lot of our work on the Internet.

00:27:15.820 And that's where a lot of people find us. I think our job going forward is going to be a lot harder.

00:27:21.800 Mine probably even more so since in Canada, our government has recently announced, I guess, a ministry of truth, a whole new bureaucracy directed at Internet censorship.

00:27:33.120 They use the words social media violence. Social media is the Internet.

00:27:38.660 Violence is a thing that you do offline. And somehow they've conflated the two to mean, I don't know, mean tweets, which I mean, I'll be straight in the gulag because of that.

00:27:50.280 But for me, I think that's cool. We'll start a band.

00:27:57.320 But I think that's one of the major failings of President Trump is that he did not deal with these social media companies and trust bust the daylights out of them while he had the chance.

00:28:09.340 And I think in reaction to Trump basically using the Internet to win the presidency, he should have known that that's what they were going to do to cut him off at the knees in 2020.

00:28:23.480 Yeah, I agree with you 100 percent, Sheila. Trump really should have taken stronger action.

00:28:28.680 He did what he could within the limits of his executive authority.

00:28:31.400 He passed a really great executive order, but, you know, he was very limited in terms of what he could do as long as Congress wouldn't act.

00:28:38.460 And unfortunately, even when the Republicans were in charge of our House and our Senate, the ones in charge of those Republicans were backstabbing, big government loving, anti-Constitution, rhinos, we call them, Republicans in name only.

00:28:51.920 So they kept funding Planned Parenthood, the abortion group.

00:28:54.720 They kept funding all of the crazy things that the federal government does.

00:28:58.240 They didn't stop any of it.

00:29:00.060 And then, of course, the Democrats took over Congress, so there wasn't much that could be done.

00:29:04.520 But the social media censorship has gotten out of control.

00:29:07.520 In fact, I was completely deleted from Facebook about a week and a half ago.

00:29:11.380 And then they restored me.

00:29:12.920 It was kind of weird.

00:29:13.660 On Sunday, I got an email saying, somebody has tagged you in a thing.

00:29:17.020 I'm like, wait a minute, I'm not on Facebook anymore.

00:29:18.820 Turns out they unbanned me.

00:29:20.080 I don't know for how long I could disappear again at any time.

00:29:23.640 But what I am encouraged by, Sheila, is the proliferation of alternative platforms.

00:29:28.560 And there are so many people now migrating away.

00:29:31.280 And there's also something to be said for the old methods.

00:29:33.840 You know, one of the things that we do at The New American, we publish a print magazine.

00:29:37.120 And they can't censor our print magazine.

00:29:38.920 So, you know, Google can do its best to hide us on the Internet.

00:29:41.420 Facebook can ban us and shadow ban us and Twitter and all the rest of it.

00:29:44.880 But they cannot censor the print magazine.

00:29:47.500 So we're seeing a surge in subscriptions.

00:29:49.460 People are handing them out to friends and neighbors.

00:29:51.460 The truth will get out.

00:29:52.720 You know, people are hungry for the truth.

00:29:54.960 Millions and millions of people who are now awakened to what's going on are they're not going back to sleep.

00:30:00.760 Right. Just because Facebook won't let them see the truth doesn't mean they're going to stop pursuing the truth.

00:30:05.080 So, yes, the situation looks dark.

00:30:07.700 And I do encourage people to go to other platforms.

00:30:09.740 But good things are happening, too, Sheila.

00:30:11.140 I'll give you an example.

00:30:11.880 Last week, I interviewed a wonderful doctor, Dr. Lee Merritt, who was a military doctor.

00:30:16.940 She was the president of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons.

00:30:20.380 Very highly qualified woman.

00:30:23.100 And right away, the censorship started.

00:30:25.300 You too.

00:30:25.660 It got to I mean, it wasn't a lot of 50,000 views on YouTube.

00:30:28.800 Boom, strike your band for a week.

00:30:30.400 But we encourage people to get these videos, download them and share them everywhere.

00:30:35.400 Well, today, I can proudly report that many millions of people have seen those videos on Rumble, on all different platforms.

00:30:42.800 They've been re-uploaded to YouTube a dozen times.

00:30:45.060 Some of the videos have 500,000, 600,000 views.

00:30:48.420 And so they can't stop the truth anymore.

00:30:51.320 I actually interviewed Mickey Willis, the creator of the Plandemic documentary, when we were having the Red Pill Expo a few months ago.

00:30:56.900 And he told me the secret was just encourage everybody to get it, download it and share it on their own.

00:31:03.340 And what happened?

00:31:04.020 He said more than a billion people have seen that.

00:31:06.360 So we're going to have to adapt.

00:31:07.720 We're going to have to do things differently.

00:31:09.160 We're going to have to come up with new business models because, of course, these operations need funding.

00:31:13.800 We can't do journalism unless there's some sorts of funding.

00:31:16.760 So things are going to have to change.

00:31:18.100 But the truth will continue to get out, Sheila.

00:31:20.220 Well, and nothing makes me want to look at something more than some censorious thug elitist telling me that I can't see it.

00:31:27.420 It's the rebellious nature of a conservative, I suppose.

00:31:32.140 And you mentioned the sort of deep state rhinos, the Republicans in name only.

00:31:39.880 Incredible segue.

00:31:40.760 It's like you've been in broadcasting or something.

00:31:44.180 Why don't you tell us about your brand new book?

00:31:46.720 Well, thank you so much, Sheila.

00:31:47.560 I'd be happy to.

00:31:48.220 It's called Deep State, the Invisible Government Behind the Scenes.

00:31:51.680 And actually, I've been working on this for a couple of years now.

00:31:55.500 So the first part of the book, I identified the different organizations that are kind of above ground and below ground that are involved in this.

00:32:02.280 We've got some of the Canadians will recognize, like the Bilderberg Group.

00:32:05.960 We've got different secret societies that are increasingly being exposed.

00:32:10.900 Talk about the bureaucracy and the intelligence agencies.

00:32:13.480 They really came out of the closet during the Trump years.

00:32:15.320 And they just openly started waging warfare on America, on the Constitution, on the elected president of the United States.

00:32:21.020 Part two deals with their methods.

00:32:23.600 How are they bringing this about?

00:32:24.600 I've actually got a chapter on how the deep state in the United States, in London, helped build up communist China into the global threat that it is today. 0.91

00:32:32.880 This did not happen in a vacuum.

00:32:34.260 This was not a successful example of communism.

00:32:37.080 This was deliberate collaboration by very powerful people in Washington, D.C., in Canada, in France, in Britain, and in Germany that deliberately built up this monster.

00:32:49.360 So I've got a chapter on that.

00:32:50.460 And the last section deals with what do we do about it.

00:32:53.040 If people want to get a copy, it is available in digital form on Amazon, but I don't recommend people do that.

00:32:59.420 If people want to get a copy directly from me, if you're in Canada, it's a little bit harder because I've got to charge you the shipping.

00:33:04.420 But you can go to my website.

00:33:05.420 It's libertysentinel.org forward slash donate.

00:33:08.160 And if you're willing to cover the shipping, I can ship it up to Canada.

00:33:11.140 If not, you can get a digital version on Amazon.

00:33:13.520 And I do hope people will get it just because, you know, Sun Tzu, the amazing Chinese military strategist, so much wisdom in his book, The Art of War.

00:33:22.620 One of the things that he explained is if you don't know yourself and you don't know your enemy, you're going to lose every single battle.

00:33:28.240 And that's where a lot of Americans and Canadians are right now.

00:33:30.920 We don't know who we are as a people.

00:33:32.340 We don't know our true history.

00:33:33.560 We don't even know what our founding documents say.

00:33:36.100 You know, in our case, the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

00:33:38.520 So we don't know who we are.

00:33:39.800 And we certainly don't know who the enemy is, the deep state that wants to take our freedoms,

00:33:43.300 that wants to merge us into this crazy global system that looks a lot like communist China. 0.97

00:33:47.780 So what Sun Tzu said is if you know yourself and you know your enemy, you need not fear the result of 100 battles.

00:33:54.760 And this book is designed to make sure that we know our enemy, that we know who they are, how they operate, and how we can successfully resist.

00:34:03.460 It's been selling like crazy, and that brings me great joy, not because I'm earning a lot, but because the truth is getting out there.

00:34:10.000 And so thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak about it, Sheila.

00:34:12.020 You got it.

00:34:13.480 Where else can people find the work that you do and perhaps support the work that you do?

00:34:17.400 Because us conservatives, we need the help more than ever.

00:34:21.900 We're fighting against big tech.

00:34:23.320 We're fighting for freedom.

00:34:24.360 We're fighting against lockdowns.

00:34:26.460 And it's becoming more and more difficult for people to find us naturally.

00:34:30.960 So how do people find you and support your work?

00:34:34.460 Well, thank you, Sheila.

00:34:35.080 And I hope Canadians appreciate the incredible value that you guys provide.

00:34:38.700 I hope that they support Rebel Media.

00:34:40.980 You guys do amazing work.

00:34:42.420 And there's a lot of us here in America who just love you guys.

00:34:44.680 So I do hope Canadians will continue helping where they can.

00:34:48.860 My personal website is libertysentinel.org.

00:34:51.220 I'm the senior editor at The New American.

00:34:52.740 You can find that at thenewamerican.com.

00:34:54.740 You can even subscribe in Canada.

00:34:56.080 We'll get the print magazine up to you there.

00:34:58.440 I also write for a lot of different publications.

00:35:00.420 You mentioned the Epoch Times and a whole lot of others.

00:35:03.000 And so I hope people will share this stuff.

00:35:04.920 As we mentioned, big tech and Google, they're not going to let this get out organically.

00:35:09.120 It's going to depend on people who are watching this broadcast, sending it by email to their

00:35:13.680 friends, to their family, to their neighbors.

00:35:15.860 That's how people can help.

00:35:17.120 That's how people can get involved in the fight is help get the word out and get behind

00:35:21.500 us.

00:35:21.740 Help get the word out.

00:35:22.960 Help get the truth out.

00:35:24.000 And we can resist these people.

00:35:25.560 So thank you so much again, Sheila.

00:35:27.700 Alex, thanks so much for coming on the show.

00:35:29.440 It's been a while since you've been on far too long.

00:35:31.720 We'll have you back on again really soon.

00:35:33.500 Excellent.

00:35:33.860 Looking forward to it.

00:35:34.480 Thanks again, Sheila.

00:35:42.780 It is true that big tech is going to do everything it can to censor conservative voices online.

00:35:48.180 It's the equivalent of the British banning the printing press to prevent colonial Americans 1.00

00:35:54.880 from disseminating information critical of their across the pond British overlords.

00:36:00.840 So the message here is support your favorite conservative media outlet so that they have

00:36:05.920 the resources to fight government censorship when it eventually does come because it is

00:36:13.740 coming.

00:36:14.660 Well, everybody, that's the show for tonight.

00:36:16.680 Thank you so much for tuning in.

00:36:18.440 I'll see everybody back here in the same time in the same place next weekend.

00:36:22.780 Remember, don't let the government tell you that you've had too much to think.

00:36:30.840 I'll see you soon again.
