Rebel News Podcast - Who is allowed to ask tough questions about the vaccines？ Anyone？

00:00:00.000 Hello, my friends. I don't even know if I'm allowed to ask these questions, but

00:00:04.780 can you question the vaccine itself, or is that banned? It's banned on YouTube. Is it banned

00:00:14.200 other places? And what if you're just reading the warning label on the vaccines? Does that

00:00:19.640 constitute illegal questioning of vaccines? What if you're a new Democrat member of Parliament

00:00:25.880 who got a vaccine and is now worried? I don't know. I'll take you through some of the

00:00:31.160 contradictions in the matter. Let me invite you to become a subscriber to what we call

00:00:36.280 Rebel News Plus. It's the video version of this podcast. I do a daily show, obviously.

00:00:40.980 Sheila Gunn-Reed, David Menzies, Andrew Chapitre, do a weekly show. And I think just as important

00:00:46.920 as what you get in terms of content is we get the eight bucks a month, which I know doesn't

00:00:53.120 sound like a lot, but it adds up. And that's what allows us to be independent and not reliant

00:00:58.180 on government. I would never take money from the government, unlike 99% of the Canadian media,

00:01:03.800 which is why we need viewer support. So please consider being a Rebel News Plus subscriber.

00:01:09.080 Just go to rebelnews.com and click subscribe. Thanks. Here's to the show.

00:01:16.400 You're listening to a Rebel News Podcast.

00:01:23.120 Tonight, who is allowed to ask tough questions about the vaccines? Anyone? It's May 13th,

00:01:33.740 and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:37.540 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:41.300 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:45.360 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody

00:01:50.240 right to do so. I don't know if you noticed this. I mean, it's been going on for years.

00:01:59.720 You know you're not allowed to talk about certain things, right? You're not even allowed to ask

00:02:03.720 certain questions. That's never a good sign. But it's terrifying when it's about the central crisis

00:02:10.000 of our time, the pandemic we're in, and much more gravely, the political authoritarian response

00:02:16.340 to the pandemic. That's the real virus, I think. Did you know there are rules about what you can or

00:02:22.700 can't say about the virus? Well, maybe not rules that bind you, but certainly rules that bind me.

00:02:29.460 Here at Rebel News, we have more than 1.45 million YouTube subscribers. It's the heart of our business.

00:02:36.120 And look at the rules they have for talking about vaccines and the pandemic.

00:02:41.540 COVID-19 medical misinformation policy. YouTube doesn't allow content about COVID-19 that poses

00:02:52.160 a serious risk of egregious harm. Now, in the past, they would take that to mean you can't put videos

00:03:02.620 up of extremely dangerous stunts or violence. But look what they take that to mean now.

00:03:11.540 YouTube doesn't allow content about COVID-19 that poses a serious risk of egregious harm.

00:03:17.180 YouTube doesn't allow content that spreads medical misinformation that contradicts

00:03:23.000 local health authorities or the World Health Organization's medical information about COVID-19.

00:03:31.640 This is limited to content that contradicts World Health Organization or local health

00:03:36.700 authorities' guidance on treatment, prevention, diagnosis, transmission, social distancing and

00:03:43.580 self-isolation guidelines. The existence of COVID-19. Okay, but aren't some of those things subject to

00:03:52.920 debate? Is there only one opinion that's allowed on these things? And the answer is yes. Here, I'll read you

00:04:01.300 some more of the rules. What this policy means for you. If you're posting content, don't post content

00:04:07.500 on YouTube. If it includes any of the following treatment misinformation, content that encourages

00:04:13.220 the use of home remedies, prayer or rituals in place of medical treatments such as consulting a doctor

00:04:18.840 or going to the hospital, content that claims there's a guaranteed cure for COVID-19, content that

00:04:23.520 recommends use of ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of COVID-19, claims that ivermectin

00:04:29.300 or hydroxychloroquine are effective treatments for COVID-19, other content that discourages people

00:04:34.880 from consulting a medical professional or seeking medical advice, prevention misinformation, contact

00:04:40.540 that promotes prevention methods that contradict local health authorities or World Health Organization.

00:04:47.160 There's a lot in there, but let me just pick one thing. You know, a lot of doctors recommend

00:04:53.500 hydroxychloroquine. It's a drug that's been around for decades. It's well known.

00:04:58.660 Doctors know, well, it's not an experimental drug at all. Now, I don't know if they're right. It might

00:05:04.280 be experimental to apply to COVID-19, but there are real doctors with real patients who say it really

00:05:10.620 works. In fact, I remember in the very early days of the pandemic, we showed a survey of hundreds of

00:05:18.960 working frontline doctors fighting COVID around the world, including even in China,

00:05:22.640 and hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin were those working doctors' top recommendations.

00:05:32.600 Now, maybe they're wrong, or maybe it's a minority opinion, but you're not even allowed to say it

00:05:39.480 online. And the authority that must be obeyed is the United Nations Agency called the World Health

00:05:45.020 Organization that's controlled by China. You've got so many things wrong about China,

00:05:50.060 like this notorious tweet from the early days. This is from the World Health Organization.

00:05:55.680 Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence

00:05:59.840 of human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus 219 identified in Wuhan, China.

00:06:05.660 That wasn't just wrong. That was a lie that was covering up for the Chinese dictatorship. That

00:06:11.280 was propaganda from the World Health Organization. You're not allowed to contradict them.

00:06:14.680 Here's a few more things that you just aren't allowed to say. You can't say the

00:06:20.800 earth is flat. So you can say, pardon me, you can say the earth is flat. That's not bad on YouTube.

00:06:29.100 You can say, I don't know, that there are aliens or UFOs. Elvis is still alive. You can believe in the

00:06:33.860 theory of man-made global warming. You can claim that we only have 10 years left to live because we're

00:06:38.240 all going to burn up or global warming or whatever it is now. You can have an opinion right or wrong about

00:06:43.520 anything. You can deny facts, but not about the precious pandemic and its quasi-religious

00:06:49.560 tenets like these. I'm going to read a little bit more. I'm almost like these.

00:06:53.040 Claims that wearing a mask is dangerous. It causes negative physical health effects.

00:06:58.100 Claims that masks do not play a role in preventing the contraction or transmission

00:07:01.460 of COVID-19. You just can't claim these things, even if that's what actual scientific studies show.

00:07:08.900 You just can't say those things. Claim that an approved COVID-19 vaccine will alter a person's

00:07:18.240 genetic makeup. Well, listen, various scientific and medical journals call the Pfizer and Moderna

00:07:25.320 vaccines gene therapy. Are you allowed to say that? I mean, these medical journals do.

00:07:30.040 Claims that any vaccine causes contraction of COVID-19. Now, I don't know if that's the case,

00:07:39.560 but are you saying that if it were found to be the case, you're not allowed to report it as news?

00:07:44.900 This next rule is quite something. Social distancing and self-isolation misinformation.

00:07:50.900 Content that disputes the efficacy of local health authorities or the World Health Organization's

00:07:55.040 guidance on physical distancing or self-isolation measures to reduce transmission of COVID-19.

00:08:00.820 So every single local authority is right, even when they disagree with each other. So in the UK,

00:08:07.920 there's a five-day quarantine when arriving at the airport. In Canada, there's a 14-day quarantine,

00:08:13.740 three of which you have to be in some COVID hotel. So they're both right, and you can't criticize

00:08:17.620 either of them? Because you know you've got different rules in different countries and provinces

00:08:21.900 and states and even city by city, and they're all correct. And if you disagree with any of them,

00:08:27.160 you're always wrong, because that's very dangerous. That's egregious harm, according to YouTube.

00:08:33.140 It's a very, very long list of things that you just can't say. Just about this subject, they also

00:08:38.560 say you can't repeat in any way Donald Trump's claims that the election was stolen from him.

00:08:44.340 I'm not kidding about that either. You might recall that's why we were censored by YouTube.

00:08:48.520 You can be a Democrat and claim that the 2016 election was stolen. That's what the Democrats

00:08:54.500 said for four years. You can say Trump stole it or Russia stole it or whatever. You can say that

00:08:59.400 without any proof. But no one is allowed to claim that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump. In

00:09:05.040 fact, if you remember, I did a video on that in January. And then three months later, YouTube decided

00:09:11.420 that that was the reason they were taking me down, because I showed a clip that had a brief Trump

00:09:17.100 moment where he claimed that. And so YouTube suspended us for a week. So that's the world

00:09:21.700 of tech censorship now. Now it gets worse if you still speak out, despite the warnings from the

00:09:29.420 United Nations and China and the World Health Organization and YouTube. And I mean, who wouldn't

00:09:34.360 set their moral compass by them? They'll just, I don't know, go to their safe place, which is to

00:09:40.480 call you a racist. Here's a globalist from Calgary, my old debating partner, actually,

00:09:45.960 named Naheed Nenshi. He's the mayor of Calgary. And here's what he has to say.

00:09:50.060 Those people at those anti-mask protests, let's not kid ourselves. They're not people who need to eat.

00:09:55.760 They are people who are marching in thinly veiled white nationalist supremacist anti-government

00:10:01.500 protests. And they don't deserve that kind of sympathy.

00:10:04.080 Okay, got it. So if you don't like his lockdowns, you're a white supremacist. Here's Jagmeet Singh, 0.97

00:10:10.280 the MVP leader.

00:10:11.820 Yes, I do think that there is an connection with people who aren't wearing a mask or who

00:10:17.200 aren't following public health guidance and the extreme right. And the idea that folks in the

00:10:22.160 extreme right don't care about people around them, aren't concerned about the safety and well-being

00:10:27.220 of people generally, their neighbors and the people in the community, and to brazenly not

00:10:34.340 follow public health guidelines puts people at risk. And that is something that we've seen with

00:10:39.440 extreme right-wing ideology, putting people at risk, not being concerned about the safety of others,

00:10:44.760 not being concerned about the welfare of others. There is a connection, certainly.

00:10:47.600 Got it. Now, if I were Jagmeet Singh, who is so closely associated with extremist terrorists

00:10:54.840 that he is literally banned from traveling to India, I don't think I'd be accusing my fellow

00:10:59.440 Canadians of being extremists just because they don't like lockdown. In fact, people who oppose

00:11:04.500 the lockdowns, they come from all walks of life. They're from all races and religions. And there's

00:11:09.040 a lot of lefties there too. I was sort of startled to see that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was taking the real

00:11:14.580 lead on this issue in Europe, Naomi Wolf. Lots of organic, sort of hippie, natural living types. 0.99

00:11:19.920 It's as much a lefty thing as a right-wing thing. It's a working class thing, really, to be opposed 0.89

00:11:24.520 to the lockdowns. But there you have it. If you disagree with your local politicians, YouTube will

00:11:28.940 ban you. If you question the science, which changes all the time, YouTube will ban you. Other social

00:11:34.000 media too, Facebook, Instagram. See, what's the science on the vaccines though? You know they're all

00:11:40.420 experimental, right? You know none of them would normally be on the market. None of them would be

00:11:44.440 injected into people at this stage without more tests, right? I mean, you know that, right? They're

00:11:51.600 just because we're in emergency and they're for emergency use only because of the pandemic that we now

00:11:58.400 know predominantly attacks people in their 80s who have severe pre-existing health conditions like

00:12:04.220 diabetes, stroke, heart disease, dementia, et cetera. So usually three or four of these underlying

00:12:10.540 conditions. So you know that the COVID-19 virus is not really a young, healthy person's thing, right?

00:12:18.140 And you still want to take experimental medicine that has not been fully tested yet.

00:12:24.360 This is Pfizer's website. You can find the same thing on all of them.

00:12:28.040 Pfizer is a leading vaccine maker. This is from their website. Let me read a little bit of it.

00:12:35.640 The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine has not been approved or licensed by the U.S. Food and Drug

00:12:42.740 Administration, FDA, but has been authorized for emergency use by FDA under an emergency use

00:12:49.960 authorization to prevent COVID-19 for use in individuals 12 years of age and older.

00:12:58.040 The emergency use of this product is only authorized for the duration of the declaration

00:13:03.720 that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of the medical product

00:13:08.960 under Section 564B1 of the FD&C Act, unless the declaration is terminated or authorization revoked sooner.

00:13:18.080 So these vaccines are not approved. They have not proven themselves. They have not gone through all

00:13:28.060 their experience yet. It's not approved, but it's authorized, which is different. That means

00:13:33.740 we don't know if it's safe yet. They haven't been approved yet, but you're allowed to use them anyways

00:13:39.520 because we're in an emergency, emergency. So do you feel like you're in an emergency, willing to take

00:13:45.900 a medicine that has not yet been approved? Let me read just a little bit more from the Pfizer. This is

00:13:51.900 from their website. Am I allowed to say this? I don't know. It raises a lot of questions, but it's from the

00:13:56.540 vaccine company. What are the side effects of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine? There is a remote chance that

00:14:02.900 the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine could cause a severe allergic reaction. A severe allergic reaction

00:14:09.540 would usually occur within a few minutes to one hour after getting a dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech

00:14:14.180 COVID-19 vaccine. For this reason, your vaccination provider may ask you to stay at the place where you

00:14:19.620 receive your vaccine for monitoring after vaccination. Signs of a severe allergic reaction can include

00:14:25.240 difficulty breathing, swelling of your face and throat, a fast heartbeat, a bad rash all over your body,

00:14:31.040 dizziness and weakness. Side effects that have been reported with the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine

00:14:36.540 include severe allergy allergic reactions, non-severe allergic reactions such as rash, itching, hives

00:14:44.100 or swelling of the face, injection site pains, tiredness, headache, muscle pains, chills, joint pain,

00:14:50.100 fever, injection site swelling, injection site redness, nausea, feeling unwell, swollen lymph nodes,

00:14:56.900 diarrhea, vomiting, arm pain. These are not all the possible side effects of the Pfizer-BioNTech

00:15:02.500 vaccine. Serious and unexpected side effects may occur. Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine is still

00:15:08.680 being studied in clinical trials. Am I allowed to say any of this? I mean, I'm just reading from Pfizer.

00:15:16.680 Is that okay that I say these things? But what about that AstraZeneca vaccine business? Is this safe?

00:15:24.700 Is it authorized? It's not approved yet, but is it authorized? Who's it authorized for? That seems to

00:15:31.460 change all the time. And when? And for one dose or two? And how long should you wait between doses?

00:15:38.020 And do the rules change because of science or because of politics? Here, get a load of the boss.

00:15:43.020 The prime minister and the government don't make health recommendations. That's not my job.

00:15:47.340 My job is to – I shared, for example, what the member asked what advice I personally got from my doctor.

00:15:54.980 I certainly encourage all Canadians to talk to their doctors. Who will then be informed by experts and doctors

00:16:01.460 both in their jurisdictions, in their provinces and territories, and by the national guidance from NACI and from Health Canada?

00:16:09.620 That is the best way to move forward. Don't take recommendations from politicians, particularly not conservatives.

00:16:15.340 Take recommendations from your doctors and the experts.

00:16:18.260 Yeah. Does anyone trust these people? Well, if you're confused, you're not the only one.

00:16:24.580 Banning AstraZeneca, then unbanning it, then telling people it's really, really good.

00:16:29.220 Unless you can avoid it, please take another one. Or Johnson & Johnson, that that was paused.

00:16:33.460 And then politicians wonder why people don't want to sign up for these vaccines.

00:16:37.420 They can't even give them away. One U.S. state is actually offering weekly lotteries for a million dollars for people who take the vaccine.

00:16:46.060 Wow, that must be some terrifying pandemic if you have to bribe people with a million-dollar payout to take the vaccine.

00:16:52.820 But look at poor Charlie Angus. You know who he is? He's the NDP member of Parliament from Northern Ontario.

00:16:58.140 You know, I really like him about half the time, and I really don't like him the other half of the time.

00:17:03.260 But he's actually one of the few independent-minded MPs, so let's give him that.

00:17:07.840 Look what he wrote on Twitter.

00:17:10.660 I took the first dose of AstraZeneca. The question is, what is the plan for the second dose?

00:17:16.100 Ontario says it's an issue of blood clots. Alberta says it's a lack of supply.

00:17:21.620 Justin is spinning the benefits of a one-dose summer.

00:17:24.920 People deserve clear answers from health officials.

00:17:29.080 That's Charlie Angus. He's an NDP MP. He works for Jagmeet Singh.

00:17:34.640 Is Charlie Angus, as Jagmeet Singh would say, is he a white supremacist, racist, extremist? 0.64

00:17:43.040 Or as YouTube would say about him, silence.

00:17:48.900 Stay with us for more.

00:17:49.920 Thank you.

00:17:58.140 Well, I've had the theory for a while now that one of the reasons why Canada is making travel so very difficult

00:18:08.000 is that the government doesn't want you to see other places where life is normalizing.

00:18:13.000 And by so difficult, I don't just mean the 14-day quarantine to come back home, which bans so many forms of travel.

00:18:22.040 Because who can take 14 days after a short business trip?

00:18:26.600 Or if you were to take a longer vacation, who can add on two weeks and time off?

00:18:32.180 I think that's designed to dampen the number of people who go abroad at all.

00:18:36.800 And then the actual COVID hotels at the airports, where you have to stay in a crappy hotel at an extremely high price,

00:18:47.160 really like a prisoner.

00:18:48.500 I think that was deliberately designed to be an awful experience and deliberately designed to be a media scandal,

00:18:56.780 again, to scare people away from traveling.

00:19:00.820 So if you can't go to Florida or Texas to see that places are normalizing,

00:19:07.360 and the only way you can learn about the world is what you see in your own town and everyone's wearing a mask,

00:19:12.960 or see on the media, which is propaganda,

00:19:16.920 well, then you're going to stay obedient and conditioned to be a prisoner.

00:19:21.360 And this is a theory of mine, having not left the country for 14 months myself.

00:19:26.860 As you may know, in the before times, I traveled to the United States from time to time,

00:19:32.120 and I had a bit of a habit of traveling to the United Kingdom for various reasons,

00:19:36.120 including our interest in the case of Tommy Robinson,

00:19:38.280 who fought a series of free speech battles, which were of great interest to us and to me.

00:19:44.080 I haven't been over there since March of 2020.

00:19:48.480 So I can only figure out the world through the eyes of the media, too, and it's a difficult thing.

00:19:55.940 But a couple of weeks ago, we sent one of our youngest reporters, Lincoln Jay,

00:20:01.120 and we sent him to the UK to do some stories on some fight-the-fines cases we've had over there.

00:20:07.480 And to look around.

00:20:10.140 And the very first thing we realized is that they only have a five-day quarantine going into the UK,

00:20:16.760 and you don't have to serve it at a quarantine jail in the airport.

00:20:21.260 And once Lincoln got through his five-day mini-quarantine,

00:20:26.060 even before that, frankly, he could see out of his hotel window,

00:20:29.600 the people were getting back to normal.

00:20:31.440 The pubs, while not open inside, all had their patios open.

00:20:36.440 And Lincoln is there right now.

00:20:38.760 He joins us via Skype.

00:20:40.740 Lincoln, great to see you.

00:20:43.360 You've been over there in the UK for more than a week now.

00:20:46.500 If you had to sum it up, how would you describe it and compare it to Canada?

00:20:52.260 Well, first of all, like you said, having the patios open is huge, right?

00:20:59.300 It gives people something to do.

00:21:01.940 But besides that, you can go to the gym right now, work out.

00:21:05.480 You don't wear a mask inside the gym.

00:21:07.320 I think that would be a huge shocker to most Canadians,

00:21:10.260 the fact that you don't have to wear a mask inside of a gym,

00:21:14.260 which is a closed indoor facility.

00:21:16.120 So that is like the first culture shock.

00:21:18.800 But nonetheless, just the whole vibe here is different.

00:21:23.660 You know, I would say like my estimate is that two to three out of ten people

00:21:28.380 aren't wearing masks, and that's on the tube,

00:21:30.500 like the tube being the subway in Toronto.

00:21:33.340 And when you don't wear a mask, no one tells you to put one on.

00:21:39.520 In Canada, if you go into a grocery store without a mask,

00:21:44.040 you'll have a number of people telling you to put the mask on.

00:21:48.860 So that is the, it's honestly been a bit of a culture shock.

00:21:52.700 And I don't think you mentioned, but they are planning to open indoor dining on Monday.

00:21:57.600 They're going to be opening amenities in gyms, such as steam rooms and saunas.

00:22:01.860 So unless they do something crazy,

00:22:05.720 it seems that life might be largely returning back to the UK.

00:22:10.680 Yeah.

00:22:11.840 Now, you came from Toronto,

00:22:14.140 which is one of the most viciously locked down cities in Canada.

00:22:18.480 So there are other places in Canada that weren't quite as brutal,

00:22:22.580 although you can't even say that anymore.

00:22:25.100 I mean, Alberta has literally been jailing pastors.

00:22:28.420 And, and, and of course, there's a curfew on in most parts of Quebec.

00:22:35.200 I think you're right to say that the scolding, that's a particularly Canadian thing to,

00:22:41.740 you know, the goody two shoes, flip it around, a form of virtue signaling.

00:22:46.460 I'm better than you.

00:22:47.700 I'm going to be the mask police. 0.99

00:22:49.600 And that, that's a really ugly part of, I think, a Canadian mindset.

00:22:56.720 I'm not saying all Canadians.

00:22:57.820 I don't, you know, I don't do that.

00:23:00.260 But I, but I think that is something people across Canada, at least in cities,

00:23:04.460 I don't think country people are crazy like that.

00:23:07.200 So you're saying that scolding, snitching, where's your mask? 0.88

00:23:11.180 Pull it up over your nose.

00:23:12.340 You haven't encountered that in the UK.

00:23:14.240 Is that what you're saying?

00:23:14.860 I, I'm not lying to you, not once.

00:23:19.300 It's, it's weird for me to even look at someone across, say, I like using the reference being

00:23:24.840 on the two, right, on the subway and seeing people, you can just look across and people

00:23:29.580 aren't wearing masks.

00:23:30.520 It feels like it's like how it was back in 2019 and prior, you know?

00:23:34.960 So it's, it honestly took me a bit of getting used to, you know?

00:23:39.160 And another thing is that on, on the London transport, so whether that's, you're taking

00:23:44.840 the bus, the tube, whatever it may be.

00:23:48.000 So they do have a, they do have announcements at every stop saying, please remember to wear

00:23:54.060 your face covering.

00:23:54.900 But the thing that I noticed is that at the end of the announcement, they say, please be

00:24:00.480 mindful to people that have exemptions.

00:24:03.220 Not all exemptions are, are visible, you know?

00:24:06.420 Oh, they say that, eh?

00:24:07.980 Wow.

00:24:09.540 Yeah.

00:24:10.240 I noticed that right away.

00:24:11.720 So, but yeah, that really stood out to me.

00:24:14.280 That's very opposite, as you may know, because we have that website, maskexemption.ca.

00:24:20.200 There are exemptions in every single mask law in Canada.

00:24:24.640 I've read them all.

00:24:25.680 They all have exemptions.

00:24:26.660 You can think of some obvious ones.

00:24:28.080 But, um, exemption, exemptions are treated as abuses.

00:24:35.660 And, you know, I have a friend who's asthmatic.

00:24:38.460 He can't wear a mask at all.

00:24:40.120 The abuse he tells me he gets, he's not a faker. 1.00

00:24:43.500 He's, he, he cannot wear that thing on his face.

00:24:46.880 And the torrent of abuse, it's like people say, uh-huh, I'm so frustrated.

00:24:52.260 I'm going to expiate all my frustration from the, on him.

00:24:57.120 I'm going to get it out on him.

00:24:58.860 And I'm going to, uh, falsely say he's why we're in this situation.

00:25:03.720 I've got a scapegoat.

00:25:04.980 I'm going to take out all the sins of society on him because he's not wearing a mask.

00:25:08.560 The mask, the mask is such a, such a symbol.

00:25:11.800 It is the flag of lockdownism.

00:25:14.680 And you're telling me that in the United Kingdom, that flag is optional.

00:25:18.560 Yes, it is, it is optional.

00:25:22.280 Now, to be honest with you, the people have told me that they, you will run into, let's

00:25:28.380 say you see a police officer at a, at a station.

00:25:31.220 They may ask you to, to show your exemption if you're not wearing a mask.

00:25:35.580 But personally, I haven't run into anything like that.

00:25:39.440 I haven't encountered any issues.

00:25:41.400 I haven't been wearing the mask at all.

00:25:43.840 It's, it's, it's honestly insane.

00:25:46.240 Like I, I've been telling everyone at the office, everything, and it's hard for them

00:25:50.120 to grasp too, but it's the truth.

00:25:52.860 Yeah.

00:25:53.060 No, well, listen, that's, that shows how rewired your brain is in our whole society.

00:25:58.400 We have to get back to that before time.

00:26:00.680 So I should tell you, I think you may be legally incorrect if you're implying that you have

00:26:05.660 to show your police an exemption there.

00:26:07.940 I don't believe that that is the case either in Canada or the UK.

00:26:11.340 That would be tantamount to police asking for your medical, private medical information,

00:26:17.260 which I don't believe is the law.

00:26:19.660 Speaking of the law, one of the reasons you're over there, besides to tell the story of what

00:26:23.660 the UK is like, is to do a little bit of work on our fight the fines cases in the UK.

00:26:29.640 We have over 1200 fight the fines cases, but the vast majority of them are in Canada.

00:26:36.140 Um, I just was talking to our UK team today.

00:26:40.360 We're sort of winding down our fight the fines UK because, you know, the lockdown is being

00:26:44.560 lifted.

00:26:45.040 Police are not being as abusive.

00:26:46.760 People really want to get back to normal.

00:26:48.640 I'm not saying there aren't civil liberties infringements.

00:26:51.480 I'm just saying, you know, we're based in Canada.

00:26:54.460 This is where the harshest lockdowns are.

00:26:56.980 This is where the crisis is.

00:26:59.080 Tell me a minute about some of the fight the fines cases that you are working on over there

00:27:03.600 in the UK.

00:27:04.020 Well, the first one, we actually got one out yesterday, which was, I think is a, it's a

00:27:11.360 very relatable story to, to anyone who's, uh, to any, to any family.

00:27:17.120 So it was a mother who took her family to the beach, you know, for, for simply for exercise.

00:27:22.100 Right.

00:27:22.560 And that's, you're allowed open air recreation.

00:27:25.180 That rule never changed during, during the lockdown here in the UK.

00:27:28.460 And, uh, she was, uh, approached by police and, uh, long story short, they, uh, they ended

00:27:34.780 up handcuffing her and putting her in the back of a police car for simply, they call it playing

00:27:40.980 ball with their kids.

00:27:42.160 So I assume that's, uh, playing football, soccer, right.

00:27:45.480 And, uh, you know, it's, it's hard to grasp a, another one is a, a, uh, older gentleman

00:27:52.440 with his wife.

00:27:53.560 They, they took a trip down for groceries and they decided to stop at the beach for, uh,

00:27:59.220 have a cup of tea and just, just relax.

00:28:01.340 And I think the most interesting part about that is that they were inside their car the

00:28:06.920 whole time.

00:28:07.700 They didn't, they didn't exit their car and the police did the same thing.

00:28:11.840 They came and basically accused them of, of violating the restrictions at the time.

00:28:17.120 So, uh, you know, I guess that's the reason why we are doing this, this campaign fight the

00:28:23.900 fines to, to bring light to these kinds of situations and, uh, and hopefully to help stop

00:28:30.120 them in the future, which I think they've already had an impact for sure.

00:28:33.220 Yeah.

00:28:33.620 Well, I'm very proud of the work.

00:28:35.200 Our UK lawyers are fantastic.

00:28:37.540 Uh, the clients, I mean, I, I worked on our very first UK case, Amy Stewart being the client,

00:28:43.160 a wonderful lady who was clearly abused by police, thrown in the black back of a police 1.00

00:28:48.140 vehicle, just outrageous.

00:28:49.840 Um, and it was funny because in the early months I was far more worried about Australia and the

00:28:56.440 UK than in Canada.

00:28:57.600 Um, it's like we saw a premonition of how bad things can be in those jurisdictions.

00:29:03.400 And then we didn't really start to see the craziness in Canada until the fall.

00:29:09.380 And then it's just been outrageous this spring.

00:29:12.000 Of course, as you know, we are suing various police forces in Canada on behalf of our own

00:29:18.120 reporters.

00:29:18.640 I think, uh, you yourself were arrested or manhandled by police for doing journalism.

00:29:24.920 So it's just the civil liberties descent, it's slowly at first, and then it goes quite

00:29:29.680 quickly.

00:29:30.300 Well, listen, I'm glad you're over there.

00:29:31.880 I'm glad you're tidying up those fight the fines cases.

00:29:34.880 And given the journey you've made over there, I hope that you take the time.

00:29:38.340 I know you're working on a story from Dover on human smuggling into the UK from the mainland.

00:29:44.140 I look forward to seeing your reports on the other stories in that kingdom, which I miss

00:29:49.180 going to very much.

00:29:50.840 And I hope that we will be normalized soon too.

00:29:55.240 But I very much doubt it.

00:29:56.560 I have to say, looking at the total bungling of the situation in Canada, I, and I, I hate

00:30:04.540 to say it, I think we're going to be in a form of lockdown well into 2022.

00:30:10.620 I mean, can you believe it?

00:30:11.800 It's almost June and we are still in the harshest lockdowns of the whole pandemic.

00:30:18.200 This whole, this whole pandemic since last March, it honestly just feels like a bad dream.

00:30:24.780 Yeah.

00:30:25.040 There's no, there's no other way to put it.

00:30:26.980 It just feels like a bad dream.

00:30:28.540 Well, uh, you're lucky to be over there in the UK and I'm sure you're enjoying it as

00:30:33.300 a young man.

00:30:33.900 London is one of the world's most fascinating cities.

00:30:37.060 Uh, I forget who it was who said to be bored with London is to be bored with life because

00:30:42.100 everything is in London and for all its flaws, it's a great city and there's a lot of stories

00:30:48.000 there.

00:30:48.400 So I look forward to seeing more stories from you, Lincoln.

00:30:50.620 Thanks for flying the rebel flag over in the UK.

00:30:53.920 You take care out there.

00:30:55.300 My pleasure.

00:30:56.080 Thank you, Ezra, for having me.

00:30:57.140 All right.

00:30:57.740 There you go.

00:30:58.180 If you're interested in seeing our UK cases, they're at fightthefines.co.uk.

00:31:06.720 Those are the special cases we're taking in the United Kingdom.

00:31:10.020 I think there's about a dozen of them compared to the approximately 1200 in Canada, but we

00:31:16.680 do have a base in the UK and we love them.

00:31:19.280 And it was very heartbreaking to me to see how abusive police in the UK became, which, uh,

00:31:25.900 really British police, the Bobbies taught the world about modern policing and they were 1.00

00:31:31.640 the first to forget it too.

00:31:32.820 Uh, as you know, Lincoln has been doing other work with us.

00:31:37.620 You can see his other videos on lockdownreports.com.

00:31:40.920 All right.

00:31:41.380 Stay with us.

00:31:41.980 Your letter should be.

00:31:42.600 On my show last night, SS writes, it didn't take long after January 21st for the world

00:31:58.840 to start falling apart.

00:32:00.700 Yeah.

00:32:01.000 You know what?

00:32:01.800 Um, nature abhors a vacuum.

00:32:03.760 And with Donald Trump no longer the boss of the free world, well, other people fill that

00:32:09.440 void.

00:32:10.880 FD writes, those rockets were peacefully protesting just like the Black Lives Matter. 0.80

00:32:16.020 Yeah.

00:32:16.600 Oh, and those mean Israelis sending up their Iron Dome anti-missiles.

00:32:21.060 Dave writes, how did they get the rockets in the first place?

00:32:24.100 Who supplied them?

00:32:25.220 Well, um, sometimes they're made.

00:32:29.220 Uh, sometimes Iran smuggles them in.

00:32:32.040 Uh, Gaza, of course, has access to the Mediterranean Sea, but they're fairly simple things that

00:32:37.440 can be made with relatively, like they're not high precision, um, you know, the kind

00:32:46.620 of rockets that the U.S. military would use.

00:32:48.840 They're, they're one step above homemade.

00:32:51.320 They don't have to be particularly accurate because if you're shooting in a city, anywhere

00:32:55.920 that lands, you're probably going to kill a civilian.

00:32:58.800 That's our show for today.

00:32:59.920 Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Highquarters, see you at home.

00:33:04.060 Good night.

00:33:05.060 Keep fighting for freedom.
