00:01:23.960 Truth, lies, and the CBC. I'm getting the full story of the United We Roll convoy to Ottawa

00:01:33.360 from the only reporter that was embedded with it from the very beginning, our very own

00:01:39.560 Kian Bexty. I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed and you're watching The Gun Show.

00:02:00.620 A convoy of angry Albertans and other Westerners rolls into Ottawa today for a mass protest

00:02:08.420 against federal energy and environmental policies that has also become a magnet for extremist and

00:02:17.120 anti-immigrant elements. That's the headline from the publicly funded state broadcaster,

00:02:24.260 the CBC, about the United We Roll convoy that left Red Deer a week ago headed towards our nation's

00:02:32.200 capital. In one tweet, CBC managed to make the case for their defunding. They managed to prove just how

00:02:41.860 anti-Western they really are. Then they managed to prove that they just really don't care what the truth

00:02:49.280 is. They're motivated by an agenda to protect the Liberals and thus their funding at all costs,

00:02:58.080 even if it costs the truth. CBC can't possibly know what the concerns are of the people on the

00:03:04.920 United We Roll convoy because the CBC haven't been on the convoy. They haven't spoken to the people on

00:03:11.760 the convoy. CBC only had one reporter on it, an avowed Marxist who joined the convoy for a couple of

00:03:18.860 hundred kilometers in the beginning in the comfort of the media bus before he had had enough and just

00:03:25.120 packed it in. Only one reporter has been with these folks the entire time, from morning prayer to late

00:03:33.900 night dinners in the hotels. It's been our reporter, Kian Bexty, and he joins me now in an interview we

00:03:42.040 recorded late last night from his hotel room in Ottawa.

00:03:55.120 Hey Kian, thanks for joining me. Looks like you're in a hotel room somewhere in Ottawa, is that about

00:04:09.200 right? Yeah, just off Parliament Hill. We're recording this on Tuesday night at my time, 718, so

00:04:19.580 shortly after 9 for you, it looks like you put in a heck of a long day. Actually, I think you put in

00:04:24.660 a long four or five days, hey? It has been a whirlwind week. I think we left last Wednesday,

00:04:33.260 if I'm not mistaken, and it's been 12, 13, 14 hour days some days, but it's been fun.

00:04:42.160 As you know, I've been on the convoy from Calgary to Ottawa, well, Red Deer to Ottawa, but I was picked

00:04:50.300 up in Calgary. I have met some pretty cool people along the way, been called some interesting things

00:04:55.640 by the left, but I've had fun along the way. Yeah, I mean, I've been following your Twitter account

00:05:02.660 pretty closely. Like, I just, I tune into your Twitter account first thing in the morning and

00:05:08.140 before I go to bed, and it is constant. You're constantly working, you're constantly moving,

00:05:13.980 you're constantly taking photos, and you're trying to document everything. So, I know what it's like

00:05:18.940 to go on these work trips, and they're a lot of fun, and it's very energizing, but it is really

00:05:26.260 exhausting. It's not a vacation by any stretch of the imagination. Yeah, I'm hoping to get maybe a day or

00:05:32.760 two off after I get home, because I'm, I'm pretty beat. I'm ready to go to bed for a couple days.

00:05:38.380 I'll pull some strings of the boss man for you. He sort of likes me. Now, I wanted to ask you

00:05:45.480 about the convoy. So, you left on, was it Valentine's Day that you guys left?

00:05:51.320 It was, in fact, Valentine's Day. I got my fair share of berating for that, but.

00:05:56.200 And you guys left pretty early in the morning, and you guys are putting in a lot of,

00:06:02.120 like, you are driving, like, 12, 13 hours a day. I wanted to ask you, what was that first stop like,

00:06:10.820 where you made your first stop, and people were already gathered for you? What was that like,

00:06:16.500 I guess, for you, and I guess for the truckers? Well, thank God I wasn't driving, because I can only

00:06:23.520 imagine how exhausted they were. But what I found so interesting throughout this trip was that

00:06:31.140 I figured that as we got farther east, the momentum would die down. Or we, I thought that

00:06:40.320 the people lining across the side of the road, they would sort of dwindle, especially as we got

00:06:44.240 closer to Ottawa. But that was absolutely not the case. As we left Alberta, there was quite a few

00:06:50.560 people, hundreds of people in Alberta. We went through Saskatchewan, there was a little less.

00:06:55.100 We went through Manitoba, there was a lot less. There was some Antifa, though, that was interesting

00:07:01.380 when they tried to blockade the road. And then we got to Ontario, and it started picking up again.

00:07:06.960 The mainstream media realized that this wasn't something that they could ignore. And once they

00:07:12.160 started reporting on it, everyone and their dog came out to watch this several thousand kilometer

00:07:17.820 long parade across Canada. Because that's what it was. It was a convoy on the stretch of the highway.

00:07:24.120 And then once we got into these small towns, it was a parade. We'd slow down to about 20 kilometers

00:07:28.800 an hour, 30 kilometers an hour. And, you know, kids were along the side of the highway. And families

00:07:35.380 were along the side of the highway. And we've, honestly, we saw thousands of people, several thousand

00:07:41.200 people throughout the whole trip. And you could hear on the radio crackle, too. The truckers were

00:07:47.040 really excited when there was kids on the side of the road. And you would always hear

00:07:51.480 them. Some of them would break into tears a little bit, too. It was quite sweet. And

00:07:55.920 they would say, it's the kids that we're doing this for. It's the future generation that we're

00:08:01.080 standing up for to make sure that they have a future. Because they know that if Justin Trudeau

00:08:05.860 and Gerald Butts get their way, well, I guess Gerald Butts is out of the picture now. It was

00:08:10.440 a nice family day present. But if they got their way, there wouldn't be a future in Alberta.

00:08:15.280 So that's what they're fighting for.

00:08:18.160 You know, and it's got to be emotional, too, for these guys. I mean, a lot of these guys

00:08:22.100 and ladies, too, have left their kids at home to make this trip. If you're working in the oil 1.00

00:08:27.800 patch, you don't get a lot of time off in the winter. For a lot of guys, winter is the only

00:08:32.080 time you work. And we're headed into spring breakup in the oil patch. So it really is the push time.

00:08:38.280 And these guys are not at work, which is sad as it is. And they've left their kids behind to make

00:08:43.860 this journey. It was emotional. Yeah, I know. I saw that. I thought that was really great. And

00:08:51.160 there have been a lot of emotions on this. And actually, you found somebody who was pretty

00:08:56.920 emotional a little while ago with Justin Trudeau in one of the sort of rally stops with the convoy.

00:09:02.420 You found Kathy Kachula.

00:09:05.520 Yeah, that was at the final rally prior to getting to Ottawa. It was at Arnprior, actually. And

00:09:13.660 it was weird. I was in the Rover vehicle, which is the vehicle that they were calling it Rover. It was

00:09:20.300 four kilometers ahead of the convoy, just sort of scouting everything out, making sure that there

00:09:24.180 was a place for all the trucks to park and that kind of thing, getting logistics figured out.

00:09:28.220 So I was with them. I got out early so that I could catch the convoy pulling into its last stop.

00:09:33.520 And I started asking people some questions. And the first person I approached was Kathy Kachula.

00:09:39.660 And something in the back of my mind was making a connection. I recognized her. I wasn't sure where,

00:09:45.600 but then she went through this story about how Trudeau awkwardly hugged her. And then it clicked.

00:09:50.920 She was the woman that stood up at that Trudeau town hall and told Trudeau how he failed her and

00:09:59.560 continued to like her across Canada. And then he cringely hugged her. But I guess this is the

00:10:05.900 kokanee groper, right? So he's always looking for physical contact. But it was a touching story with

00:10:12.020 him. Oh, with a touching story with him. It was a touching story with her.

00:10:16.020 It's always a touching story with him. Yeah, it's true. You know, it's funny. I was thinking

00:10:22.380 the other day, I see these, these photographs of Trudeau and he hugs everybody so close and so

00:10:28.520 weird. And it's like the kind of thing that cult leaders do. And sometimes it works on people and

00:10:33.700 sometimes it doesn't. And apparently it didn't work on Kathy. So that's good to hear. Now,

00:10:38.680 I wanted to ask you, um, what was your favorite stop along the way?

00:10:44.040 My favorite stop, you know what it was? It was Salt St. uh, Sault Ste. Marie, uh, it, which is a town

00:10:50.360 in Ottawa and town or city, don't want to offend them. And it was the largest stop, the largest stop

00:10:56.380 of the whole trip besides obviously Ottawa, which you'd think it would have been Regina or some town in

00:11:03.780 Saskatchewan. Uh, no, it was, it was Sault Ste. Marie in Ontario. Hundreds of people showed up,

00:11:11.780 uh, construction, local construction company through, uh, paid money to throw up an impromptu

00:11:17.780 barbecue. There was hot dogs, there was hamburgers, and it was all put together within a, uh, couple

00:11:22.800 hours, uh, because we're never exactly sure where they were going to stop and what hotel they were

00:11:28.160 going to stop at. It was a very fluid situation. Uh, but it was definitely Sault Ste. Marie. I,

00:11:34.280 that was after the McLean's editor published a tweet that said that this was a movement of white

00:11:40.000 supremacists. So I went around asking people and they can check out my video at rebelconvoy.com.

00:11:45.580 But I went around asking people if they were a Nazi or if they were a white supremacist. And I was 0.63

00:11:50.400 trying desperately to find these white supremacists that the mainstream media was talking about, but there

00:11:54.560 was just, there wasn't any, any there, but it was really fun. There was hot dogs, there was hamburgers,

00:11:59.120 there's trucks everywhere. And there was little kids sliding down, uh, these huge snow banks because

00:12:04.260 Ontario gets an absurd amount of snow. Uh, and the kids were chanting, uh, Trudeau was dumb. It was 0.99

00:12:10.720 kind of cute, but I mean, you know, it was fun. It was, it was a really good place to stop.

00:12:16.940 You know, and that's the thing too, like to even ask these people, um, where are the white 0.59

00:12:24.360 supremacists? It's so, it, it really is absurd because they're being called these things by

00:12:30.320 people who've never taken the time to speak to them. Glenn Carrot. He's been on my show before.

00:12:35.380 I run into him when I'm covering the convoys. I mean, that guy drives across the province with

00:12:40.940 his own money, takes time away from his own business. He's an Innisfail, Alberta town councillor.

00:12:46.140 Um, he's a legitimate upstanding member of the community and the people who are saying things

00:12:53.140 about him and the movement that he's created. They've never even taken the time to talk to him.

00:12:58.240 They're, they're finding like one of weirdos out there, um, in obscure Facebook groups. And

00:13:05.880 they're trying to say that this represents Glenn. And they're trying to say that these people are

00:13:10.320 organizers. As far as I'm concerned, there's one main organizer. That's Glenn. Um, Hayley,

00:13:16.920 while also same thing, she's been instrumental in organizing it, but no, no, none of their critics

00:13:22.220 are actually talking to them. Um, because I suppose if their critics talk to them, it sort of debunks

00:13:28.580 their narrative, doesn't it? Yeah. Uh, I didn't know Glenn before I met Glenn the second day into

00:13:36.800 the trip. I'd never met him before. I never really heard about him. Um, and I have gotten to know him

00:13:42.980 throughout this trip and I cannot say enough about how much he's done for this movement, him and Hayley.

00:13:51.420 Um, I've watched him. He, he's a grandfather and he's gotten emotional at a couple of these

00:13:57.160 stops watching the kids get passionate about the movement. Um, and I've watched Glenn Carrad. I,

00:14:04.840 I don't want to guess his age, but a grandfather grow a lot throughout this trip at the very,

00:14:10.860 at the first rallies, uh, in Alberta and Saskatchewan, there were a couple of people

00:14:15.840 showing up and it was kind of a ragtag group. The, the convoy would pull in, uh, and they would

00:14:21.780 honk their horns and then they'd pull out. And I think that the people who are waiting for the

00:14:26.120 convoy were a little bit disappointed, but as each rally progressed, he became acutely aware of what

00:14:34.660 these people wanted from this convoy. They wanted, they wanted inspiration. They wanted to learn what the

00:14:40.160 convoy was about. And he took it, he took it all in stride and he, he learned and grow, grew as,

00:14:44.960 as it went. And these rallies became these logistically complex events that were very fluid.

00:14:52.480 Um, as I said before, he's, he's planning, he's planning them on the phone as he's coming across

00:14:57.980 the country. Someone else is driving for him and he's always on the phone, uh, planning these out at

00:15:02.120 various stops. Uh, and it turns into these rallies, uh, especially in armed prior and Sault Ste. Marie.

00:15:10.060 There are these rallies that politicians like Stephen Harper and Justin Trudeau would be jealous

00:15:14.720 of. Uh, he gets on top of the trucks, someone donated a speaker and a mic, um, and there's music

00:15:21.260 and, and there's food and, you know, politicians in this country can't pull off rallies like Glenn

00:15:27.780 Carrot now can. Uh, and he, I, I asked him why, why, why this became so much easier. And he told me

00:15:37.340 that, and I asked him why he thinks he can pull off these, these rallies, whereas politicians struggled

00:15:44.980 to, and he told me, Kian, it's easier when you're speaking from the heart and it's easier when what

00:15:51.540 you're saying actually means something to you personally. And I thought that, I thought that

00:15:56.460 held a lot of weight. Um, I, I'm, I'm really inspired by him and, and how well he's handled

00:16:01.560 these rallies. Um, yeah. Um, I think everybody probably knows by now, my husband works in the

00:16:07.640 oil patch and he actually moves drilling rigs for a living. He's the guy in charge of logistics

00:16:12.340 and organizing the trucks. And I mean, just to do that, to move a drilling rig, take it apart,

00:16:18.900 move it down the road, just, you know, a couple of kilometers. It is a logistics nightmare. It requires

00:16:24.720 planning and for like, there's so many moving pieces. So when I see Glenn able to get all these

00:16:34.620 trucks and people down the road, organize food and lodging and rallies in advance while he's going

00:16:41.800 down the road, I mean, I, I, I really don't know how he's doing it. I have no idea, but somehow he

00:16:48.860 pulled it off. Um, I wanted to ask you, I'm sure the convoyers, I mean, they're like you and I, they

00:16:56.060 have access to the internet. Um, how did they feel or how did they feel when they first saw, um, some of

00:17:05.260 the tweets sort of trying to discredit the convoy, calling them white supremacists, calling them

00:17:10.660 xenophobes, calling them racist? How did they feel when that's how they were being painted?

00:17:16.960 Uh, I characterize it as disappointed. Um, there was a large response to that, uh, across the

00:17:26.160 convoyers. Some people were angry. Some people were upset. One person was crying. It was an emotional

00:17:31.980 ride altogether, but, um, pretty much unanimously they were thanking me, uh, which I found humbling

00:17:39.040 because I mean, I'm just a small part of the rebel. Uh, but they thanked me personally for

00:17:43.520 what the rebel does to contribute to public discourse because, uh, nobody was giving this

00:17:49.040 convoy a fair shake at the beginning, except for the rebel. And as, as we got to Ontario, that's when

00:17:55.940 the mainstream media started picking it up. That's when Jason Kenney grudgingly accepted the convoy

00:18:01.480 as this huge political movement across the country. And, uh, they really just wanted to thank us for

00:18:08.200 what we did in the first couple days to give this movement some credibility. Um, but in, in terms of

00:18:16.320 how the mainstream media has characterized them, uh, it's been anywhere from incredulous to angry to

00:18:21.840 frustrated and sad. So yeah, uh, it's, it's been a wide range of emotions.

00:18:28.560 Yeah. I mean, it, I, I suppose it's even tough. Like I've got a pretty thick skin now after three

00:18:34.920 and a half years, you're kind of new to this, but I think you're pretty tough. Um, but it's still,

00:18:41.040 it's sort of, I was going to swear, but it's sort of ugly when people lie about you. People who don't

00:18:49.640 know you say these things about you, like they'll call me a homophobe and a racist. Um, anybody who

00:18:56.600 knows me know that knows that's not true. And I, I suppose that's the point. These people don't know,

00:19:02.040 um, they don't know anybody. They don't know anything. So the best they can do is lie about

00:19:07.680 completely innocent people, drag their names and reputations through the mud because that's 0.68

00:19:12.340 all they really have. And I just, I think it's a real shame. And I don't, let me just go back for

00:19:17.340 a minute though. I don't like how you said that you're a small part of the rebel because you're

00:19:21.580 really not what you did for those, for these people. And you continue to do on this convoy,

00:19:27.880 I think is a true Testament to your character because you're getting a lot of the same backlash

00:19:32.700 that the people on the convoy are. Um, but you sort of have to put that all aside because it's

00:19:39.800 our job to tell the other side of the story. CBC is not going to treat these people fairly.

00:19:44.600 Mainstream media is not going to treat them fairly. McLean's isn't going to treat them fairly.

00:19:48.000 You know what? The politicians aren't even going to treat them fairly because the politicians jumped 0.81

00:19:51.660 on the bandwagon about a month too late. Um, and, uh, I think it's, it's so important what you're

00:19:59.640 doing out there. Um, because these people, I mean, I don't know all that much about your family,

00:20:06.680 but they're doing it for my family. They're out there literally taking time away from their family

00:20:11.680 to make sure that my husband has a job to go to. No, uh, same with my family. I mean, my, I was born

00:20:18.480 when my dad was working in Norman Wells for slumber grade. Yeah. That's great. My husband,

00:20:25.920 my littlest one was like, my husband had to fly home from Norman Wells when she was born.

00:20:31.660 Oh yeah. Barely made it. Yeah. It's weird. Anyways, sorry. I was born on, I was born on the road

00:20:36.580 on the way back from Norman, Alberta. I've never lived in Red Deer, Alberta my entire life, but, uh,

00:20:44.120 I was born there. So, um, what was your question? I forgot. I don't know. I was on. It was some,

00:20:49.800 well, you know what, I, I will go back to the name calling. I mean, I, I've never gotten this much,

00:20:56.760 like if people go to my Twitter, uh, you can see, I've never gotten this kind of traction on Twitter

00:21:03.120 before. People are really excited about this movement, but in conjunction with this, this

00:21:07.960 huge positivity and groundswell support this convoy has seen. And I've seen personally, uh,

00:21:15.220 in a personal and professional capacity, uh, there's been an equal amount of hate and name

00:21:20.420 calling and mudslinging. I've been called a white supremacist more times than I can count. And it's

00:21:26.500 something that I haven't gotten used to yet. It's really, uh, uh, personally painful thing to be

00:21:33.080 called. Uh, and my heart goes out to everyone in this convoy has been called a similar thing,

00:21:38.580 but it's totally different story when it happens personally. And it is beyond upsetting to be called

00:21:43.940 something that you're not. Uh, but that's what this movement, that that's what the opposition to

00:21:48.080 this movement resort resorts to, uh, they have nothing to say other than to detract from this

00:21:53.780 positivity. So it's beyond upsetting. That's for sure. Um, now you just touched on some of, uh,

00:22:00.900 the negativity, but you really, uh, it crossed the line from just verbal negativity and angry tweets

00:22:09.540 and trolling to actual violence against you today. Um, why don't you tell us a little bit about that?

00:22:17.720 Uh, sure. I, I just finished recording some speeches. There's, there's two groups of protests

00:22:24.360 here on Parliament Hill. If you haven't ever been to Parliament Hill, there's Wellington Street, which

00:22:30.100 runs, uh, basically in front of Parliament buildings. And then about half a kilometer

00:22:37.160 north, you, you have Centre Block, which is the picture of, of Parliament that everyone knows and

00:22:42.780 sees. Right at the base of Centre Block is where the main rally was held, where Andrew Scheer,

00:22:47.760 Maxime Bernier were speaking. And then about half of the rally was there. And the other half of the

00:22:52.740 rally was on Wellington Street, right in front of the parliamentary lawn. So I was jumping back and

00:22:59.260 forth between the two. And after some speakers were recorded, I went back down to, uh, Wellington

00:23:05.080 Street to watch and record the rest of the protest. And that's when Antifa showed up. They showed up

00:23:10.140 marching with banners taken off the walls from a Carleton University, uh, art exhibit as it's not

00:23:17.820 really art, but it, it was a faculty or student union paid for art exhibit that was calling for the

00:23:24.080 dismantlement of the oil and gas industry. Anyways, I show up there. I want to know what's up. I want to

00:23:30.460 know why student unions are paying. I want to know why students are paying for these, this, these political

00:23:36.100 messages. I met some of the students there, uh, that, that paid for them themselves out of their own

00:23:41.000 pocket, out of their own tuition money. Uh, and they were very upset about it. So I, I went to inquire

00:23:46.280 with Antifa, which in retrospect might not have been a good idea, but I wanted to know what brought them

00:23:51.700 there. I wanted to know what their message was, what they wanted to tell Canadians and the viewers

00:23:56.760 at the rebel and not, not a word of a lie within two minutes of me talking to them. Uh, they had

00:24:04.760 already punched my hand and knocked my phone to the ground and destroyed some equipment that is hundreds

00:24:11.020 of dollars to replace what they had destroyed. And my ego is bruised to a little bit, but, uh, I was a

00:24:19.900 little bit frustrated with the police response. And I've, I've been in this hotel room for a couple

00:24:25.200 hours now going through the live feeds of everything that happened, reading the responses

00:24:29.760 on Twitter. And something that I noticed is it's not something that just happened to me. Uh, there's,

00:24:36.220 there's, uh, the exact same thing happened to this kind old man who was just standing there recording

00:24:43.280 Antifa watching them, holding his phone and Antifa pushed up their barricade. This was before the

00:24:51.160 police decided it might be a good idea to stand between the two protesting groups. Antifa moved

00:24:56.600 forward a little bit quickly, very quickly. And with their gloved hands flicked, flicked the cell

00:25:01.940 phone out of his hand, just flicked it up like that. And the phone went flying. Police officers saw the

00:25:06.940 whole thing, saw the face of the individual who did it, uh, walked, the phone fell to the ground,

00:25:12.300 fell into the Antifa group. The police officer pushed Antifa backwards, picked up the phone,

00:25:18.820 handed it back to the guy and then turned around and left. And that phone, I guarantee if it's like

00:25:23.560 mine, it's a $1,200 phone screen is shattered to hell. And he, and to replace it, it's three,

00:25:31.600 $400 to replace the screen and to replace the phone. It's even more if there's internal damage

00:25:35.840 and the police officer just couldn't care less. You know, I, I, I know we're working hard to identify

00:25:46.500 the person who, uh, assaulted you. Um, but this is ridiculous. This is three assaults against rebel 0.95

00:25:55.340 employees in three weeks. David and our, um, wonderful videographer, little Efron, um, they were

00:26:04.640 assaulted by that deranged, um, hotel manager a couple of weeks ago. And now you at the refugee 1.00

00:26:12.540 hotel that, you know, a high strung maniac came out there and started shoving them around. Now they

00:26:19.360 weren't hurt. And luckily you weren't hurt, but I'm not hearing a lot of outcry from the, um,

00:26:26.780 journalists hurt feelings or violence crowd at all. I see a lot of trutherism, in fact,

00:26:32.480 directed at you. Like maybe you had done something to ask for it. Like maybe your dress was too short.

00:26:38.320 Maybe you were dressed a little too sexy to be out at the bar that night. Like, and I'm here,

00:26:43.000 I'm seeing it from feminists and left-wing agitators who are just looking for any reason 1.00

00:26:48.580 to justify an assault against someone with different ideas.

00:26:52.940 It, it frustrates me that this is the level of political discourse in this, in this country,

00:26:59.860 uh, where Antifa just decides that we're the left in general. And it's, it's not just Antifa's fault.

00:27:08.380 I mean, it's the mainstream media's fault. It's left-wing politicians who are propagating this false

00:27:12.700 narrative that, that this group of people is Nazis. I mean, there's something to be said about 0.90

00:27:17.660 fighting Nazis. I mean, they're terrible people. And that's what our grandfathers and our forefathers 0.98

00:27:25.560 did in World War II. They fought Nazis and it was a commendable thing to do. And when the mainstream

00:27:30.880 media and, uh, and left-wing politicians are saying that these people are Nazis, I mean, it inspires

00:27:37.820 people to some degree to fight back because being a Nazi is a reprehensible thing to be. And so,

00:27:45.500 so what I'm trying to say is that the left has an equal share to blame across all facets of their

00:27:51.140 movement, uh, from the mainstream media to politicians, all the way up to the actual,

00:27:54.960 um, people who are committing these acts of violence in Antifa.

00:27:59.980 Yeah. I mean, when you are calling everybody who disagrees with you, a Nazi, the punch Nazis crowd

00:28:08.160 registers that as permission to go around punching people. That's what it does. It, and it does a second,

00:28:14.780 uh, more reprehensible thing, I suppose. And that's actually run cover for actual Nazis because 0.63

00:28:21.500 they, then they just sort of be, end up being, um, just like regular conservatives instead of

00:28:27.460 being the worst creatures to walk the face of the earth. Um, uh, I mean, it's really disgusting when I 0.58

00:28:34.100 was in, uh, Auschwitz, that really hit home for me that we really shouldn't be throwing around that

00:28:39.240 word as casually as the left often does. Kian, I know that it is late where you are, um, and you've

00:28:46.660 been working hard and you're still working hard. You're going through footage. Um, so I don't want

00:28:51.920 to take up too much of your time. I want to thank you for the incredible coverage that you've given

00:28:56.520 all of us. Um, you've made me feel really, really jealous that you were on the convoy and I wasn't,

00:29:04.020 but parenting duties and life gets in the way. Um, and I, you know what, uh, you did such a

00:29:10.220 phenomenal job that I felt like I was there the whole time anyway. So I just want to thank you

00:29:14.940 for how hard you've been working and the time you've really put in to tell the other side of

00:29:19.500 this story. I appreciate that, Sheila. It's my job and I love doing it. Uh, oh, Kian, where can 1.00

00:29:25.620 everybody find your coverage before you go and where can they pitch in to help cover the cost?

00:29:30.580 Because you don't work for free. I do not work for free. Um, if you go to rebelconvoy.com,

00:29:37.540 you can help pitch in to pay my salary, to help pay for some hotel rooms, to help replace my phone.

00:29:45.840 Uh, I mean, there's, there's costs everywhere and I appreciate everything that people pitch in to help.

00:29:51.960 And they can see all of your coverage, um, on that same page at rebelconvoy.com. Great.

00:29:58.020 Thanks, Kian. Try to get some sleep tonight, buddy.

00:30:00.580 Thanks. Thanks. Bye.

00:30:15.420 Over the next couple of days, we are going to see how the mainstream media works their hardest

00:30:21.620 to discredit what these truckers and their supporters have done this past week. These folks

00:30:28.460 have driven thousands of miles with the help of crowdfunding from everyday Canadians and their own

00:30:34.440 personal bank accounts to take the message that Alberta and the whole West is hurting. They've taken

00:30:41.060 the message all the way to Justin Trudeau's doorstep. And you know what? Justin Trudeau, he didn't even have

00:30:47.240 the decency or the courage to meet with these people. Now he's not alone in his cowardice because

00:30:53.740 natural resources minister and Alberta MP Amarjeet Sohi didn't meet with them either. And neither did

00:31:00.840 Alberta's newest so-called independent Senator, former journalist Paula Simons. Those truckers on the

00:31:07.900 hill and their supporters, they don't vote for hair and socks and sunny ways. So the only time they

00:31:15.780 count to this liberal government is when they're paying their tax bill. Well, everybody, that's the

00:31:22.680 show for tonight. Thanks again for tuning in. I'll see everybody back here in the same time in the same

00:31:29.320 place next week. And remember, don't let the government tell you that you've had too much to think.
