Hello, my rebels. Today, I play for you. I talk about a few things. I talk about how Taiwan
00:00:04.440
has protected itself from the virus. But most curiously, I go through a statement by Teresa
00:00:10.780
Tam, that's Trudeau's handpicked health officer, and her weird, weird explanation for why masks
00:00:18.500
are actually bad for you. One of her reasons includes because you don't know how to use a
00:00:26.540
mask. You just have to listen to it. It's quite something. I go through it. Anyways, can I invite

00:00:56.540
Tonight, who is Dr. Teresa Tam, Trudeau's public health officer? It's March 30th, and this is
00:01:08.560
The Ezra Levant Show. Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:15.360
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer. The only thing I have to say to the
00:01:20.540
government of a wire publisher is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:01:30.220
Who is Dr. Teresa Tam, Trudeau's public health officer? She gives daily briefings on the pandemic.
00:01:37.760
Donald Trump does the same thing every day in the U.S. too. He has his two experts speak,
00:01:42.460
and then he speaks too, and sometimes Vice President Mike Pence, who Trump put in charge
00:01:47.120
of quarterbacking the coronavirus response. Trump's daily press conferences often go on for a full
00:01:52.800
hour. He takes very aggressive questions from a very hostile press corps, but he does it every
00:01:58.440
single day. One of the things the U.S. media tries to do is ask gotcha questions to Trump's medical
00:02:04.640
advisors to see if they think Trump is ignoring their scientific advice, try and pull them apart.
00:02:10.500
That's not really reporting. It's gotcha journalism. It's campaigning. It's being what I call the media
00:02:15.700
party. It's acting like the Democrats. They really are. But Trump's up for it, I think. And so far,
00:02:22.500
so are the doctors. I have never in that room had a situation where I said scientifically this is the
00:02:30.200
right thing to do it, and they said don't do it, or scientifically this is the wrong thing to do,
00:02:35.500
and they did it anyway. Then we get up and we present it to the president, and he asks a lot of
00:02:40.860
questions. That's his nature. He's constantly asking you questions. And I never, in the multiple
00:02:47.760
times that I've done that, where I said, for scientific reasons, we really should do this,
00:02:53.140
that he hasn't said, let's do it. Or when he's decided, not decided, when he suggests,
00:02:59.660
why don't we do this? And I say, no, that's really not a good idea from a scientific standpoint.
00:03:04.820
He has never overruled me. But here's the thing. That Dr. Anthony Fauci and the other doctor,
00:03:10.180
Deborah Birx, they're advisors to Trump. But Trump is the decider, as is appropriate. Trump has many
00:03:16.960
advisors, economists, military men, subject matter experts on anything. Each one of them knows more
00:03:22.940
than Trump does about their given field. But it's Trump's job to balance that competing advice to
00:03:28.420
use his vision of the nation and make the final decision. And whatever you think of Trump's
00:03:32.820
decisions, it is clear they're his decisions. I don't think anyone alive would suggest that those
00:03:37.360
two doctors or Mike Pence is the one calling the shots. Just for a tangent, compare that to Joe
00:03:43.900
Biden, the presumptive Democrat nominee holed up in his house, trying to get through softball
00:03:48.880
interviews without imploding. And in order to avoid those very high numbers, we have to do at least
00:03:54.660
several things. One, we have to depend on what the president's going to do right now. And first of
00:04:01.200
all he has to tell, wait till the cases before anything happens. Look, the whole idea is he's
00:04:08.660
got to get in place things that were shortages of. I suggested that we should have people in China
00:04:15.280
at the outset of this event. And when it all started in Lujan province.
00:04:21.740
And in addition to that, in addition to that, we have to make sure that we are in a position that
00:04:30.540
we are. Well, let me let me go to the second thing I've spoken of.
00:04:34.740
Yeah, pretty sure he's not in command over there or anywhere. But what about us here in Canada?
00:04:40.080
Dr. Tam gives the briefings and Trudeau isn't there. Trudeau could go there. He is at least on
00:04:47.540
paper the prime minister. Boris Johnson, the British prime minister, has a case of coronavirus. He took
00:04:52.480
the test, came up positive, which means he has it. So he's quarantining himself. It's tricky, but
00:04:59.680
he's clearly still hands-on. And you can be sure he'll be back in action as soon as he's through it.
00:05:05.840
Donald Trump took the coronavirus test, too. Then it came back negative. He's not sick. So he's up
00:05:11.060
there every day leading. He went down to Virginia the other day when the U.S. Navy sent a massive
00:05:16.880
hospital ship down to New York. It'll relieve regular patients from New York hospitals to make
00:05:21.640
way for coronavirus patients. They're doing the same in Los Angeles, too, with another Navy hospital
00:05:26.380
ship. So where's Trudeau? Well, he's still holed up at Rideau Cottage, which is the cute name for one of
00:05:35.040
the three massive official residences that he's using. His cooks stay at 24 Sussex Drive. I'm not
00:05:42.560
even kidding. That's where his meals are cooked. And then they're driven over to him at the 22-room
00:05:47.340
Rideau Cottage. Trudeau's estranged wife, Sophie, lives in Harrington Lake, just across the river in
00:05:56.100
Gatineau, Quebec, at another government residence. I'm not talking about where he's living, though. I
00:06:01.880
don't care. I'm talking about the fact that he isn't leaving the house and going into work. He's
00:06:06.660
just not. The media party's trying to make it a fun and humanizing moment as if he's doing dad stuff
00:06:13.660
at home, as if he's just like the rest of us, because they know he's not leading the pandemic
00:06:19.000
battle. The thing is, he doesn't have the virus. If he thought he did, he could immediately take a test
00:06:24.740
like Trump and Johnson did. He didn't take the test. He doesn't have the symptoms. It's all very
00:06:30.520
odd, don't you think? Why wouldn't he just take the test to prove he doesn't have it? No, it's not
00:06:35.760
odd, because the test would obviously have been negative, so he'd be expected to go into work.
00:06:40.840
And he's faking it and deliberately not availing himself of the test that would prove that he's
00:06:45.540
faking it. And the daily press gaggle that would meet him at his cottage for a vague and brief chat
00:06:51.200
every morning. Well, they would never think to ask about it. I mean, just for a fun alternative
00:06:55.580
universe, imagine if Trump and Trudeau could swap reporters for a moment. Trump would get all
00:07:02.060
Trudeau's questions. How awesome are you? How bad are your enemies? How are you doing so well?
00:07:08.460
And Trudeau would get Trump's questions. Do you have blood on your hands? That sort of thing.
00:07:13.020
Do you think there is blood on the president's hands, considering the slow response?
00:07:16.300
Yeah, what a laugh. Even funnier is that the two-week self-isolation that Trudeau took,
00:07:23.460
even though he doesn't have the virus, and he knew he doesn't, and he could have confirmed that
00:07:27.920
in a moment that he didn't, even funnier is that those two weeks are up. In fact, I think we're
00:07:32.780
almost at three weeks down. But he sort of likes it at home. The lazy, wake up whenever, do 15 minutes
00:07:40.000
of work. I mean, the star, the Toronto star, says he's busy playing with Lego. They put that in their
00:07:45.740
headline. And of course he is. Of course he is. He loves childish things, building sandcastles,
00:07:52.060
doing fun yoga poses, wearing costumes. He's Peter Pan. Seriously, in the middle of the pandemic,
00:07:58.680
in the lockdown, he actually tweeted that everyone should turn off their power for an hour,
00:08:02.800
for Earth Hour. He's an unserious man in serious times. First Corinthians says,
00:08:09.120
when I was a child, I spake as a child. I understood as a child. I thought as a child.
00:08:14.000
When I became a man, I put away childish things. Yeah, not our man-child, Prime Minister.
00:08:20.280
So what about the woman who's filling his role then, Teresa Tam? She's smart, obviously,
00:08:26.440
an accomplished doctor, born in Hong Kong. I don't know her China politics, but hopefully being a Hong
00:08:32.100
Kong person, makes her a bit skeptical of communist China itself. But what has she done? How has she
00:08:38.440
done? Well, recall the very first public utterance she made was pure Trudeau liberal politics. Two
00:08:45.680
months ago, when people were starting to get scared, when people were starting to worry,
00:08:51.840
when terrifying images like these were coming out of China, what did Dr. Tam do? Did she roll out a
00:08:58.420
plan? Two months ago, Trump put together a pandemic response team. He banned flights from China back
00:09:05.560
in January. And most of them, at least. What was the first real thing Dr. Tam said? I am concerned
00:09:14.720
about the growing number of reports of racism and stigmatizing comments on social media directed to
00:09:20.000
people of Chinese and Asian descent related to the virus. By the way, that's not medical advice.
00:09:26.820
It's not health advice. That's political advice. But more precisely, that's a political
00:09:33.700
accusation. That's an attack. If you're worried about the virus, you're racist. There had actually
00:09:39.980
been no evidence of anti-Chinese racism in all of Canada. This was a classic liberal move. Attack
00:09:45.820
your potential critics first. Put them on the back foot first by implying that any criticism that they
00:09:51.340
might have of Canada's non-preparation would be racist, so you better shut up.
00:09:57.580
That approach worked on the open borders debate. No mainstream media, no conservative party
00:10:02.380
politician dares to criticize our out-of-control border immigration because you'll be called a
00:10:06.980
racist. This pandemic thrives on open borders, of course, so it was a natural fit. If you're worried
00:10:12.720
about the pandemic, you're a racist. That was his very first statement. Funny thing, and the irony is
00:10:20.020
that it was Chinese Canadians who were the most scared at first because they had been following the
00:10:23.960
Chinese epidemic the most closely. They're the ones who stayed away from the Chinese stores and
00:10:28.560
malls. It wasn't racism. Chinese Canadians are not racist against Chinese malls in Canada. They were
00:10:35.560
afraid of the virus. Theresa Tam had no advice other than shut up. Shut up, she explained. A perfect
00:10:42.600
Trudeau fit. But she's a doctor, so she had a prescription. Look at this. She thought we needed to police
00:10:49.200
our language. Racism, discrimination, and stigmatizing language are unacceptable and very
00:10:56.060
hurtful. These actions create a divide of us versus them. Canada is a country built on the
00:11:01.000
deep-rooted values of respect, diversity, and inclusion. End stigma. And look at that graphic.
00:11:06.960
How to stop the spread of biases. Be careful of your language. Go to trusted websites like Trudeau's
00:11:15.040
websites, of course. So that was how to stop the spread of biases. Yeah, sister, your job is to tell
00:11:22.360
us how to stop the spread of viruses. And you didn't. Do you trust her? Well, to do what? To this day,
00:11:33.040
flights still arrive directly from China to Canada every few hours. Today is actually the first day
00:11:39.800
that I don't see a flight landing from China in Vancouver. The first day today. But look, I'm not
00:11:48.780
racist. In fact, the opposite. If anyone knows how to handle Chinese viruses, it's Taiwan. Taiwan,
00:11:57.500
or the Republic of China, as it's formally called, is a country of about 25 million people just across
00:12:02.840
the Strait of Formosa from Communist China, also known as the People's Republic of China. Taiwan
00:12:08.580
has its own ethnic history, but it's also where the anti-communist forces from the mainland fled after
00:12:13.700
Mao Zedong's revolution. So Taiwan's always been at odds with Communist China, even though it's very
00:12:19.040
similar. Similar language, ethnicity, culture. Both sides lay claim to the other part, actually.
00:12:25.700
China has tried different approaches with Taiwan, sometimes a carrot, sometimes a stick. The carrot,
00:12:31.280
of course, is economic. If you're a Taiwanese businessman, imagine having access to a market
00:12:35.640
that's potentially 50 times bigger than your home market in your same language. The stick that China
00:12:42.140
uses is occasionally threatening an invasion of Taiwan. The stick doesn't work. In fact, when the
00:12:49.980
whole world saw China's brutality in Hong Kong last year, that particularly scared the Taiwanese. And in
00:12:55.660
fact, it absolutely was a factor in the re-election of Taiwan's president, Tsai Ing-wen, who specifically
00:13:02.020
praised the Hong Kong democracy protesters. So yeah, they know more about China than most people do in
00:13:09.000
Taiwan. And they know you can't trust Communist China. The Taiwanese know. Yeah, that's not racism or
00:13:16.980
bias. It's that they know the Communist Party of China is deceptive. They're wise to it because they live
00:13:23.540
under its threat, just like this guy we encountered on the streets of Hong Kong last year.
00:13:28.220
Donald Trump, don't trust China. China is asshole.
00:13:31.280
Well said. Anyways, because Taiwan and China are at odds, China often makes it a requirement of other
00:13:37.200
countries and certainly other companies that they do weird things like not show Taiwan as an
00:13:41.540
independent country on maps, like not have formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan. Did you know that
00:13:46.780
Taiwan is not even allowed to have an embassy in Canada? They're allowed to have an economic and
00:13:52.480
cultural office in Canada, but not to call it an embassy, not to call it an ambassador. Isn't that
00:13:57.120
nuts? And here's a key point. China was kicked out of globalist institutions like the UN's World Health
00:14:03.540
Organization, which sounds like a punishment. The whole country was deplatformed, marginalized,
00:14:08.120
discredited. That's what China wanted. And that's what China got. But the funny thing is,
00:14:14.600
because Taiwan was kicked out of the World Health Organization, it meant they had to build up their
00:14:18.260
own National Health Command Center and they learned to trust themselves and make up their own minds
00:14:22.560
instead of the UN. And of course, they knew that the World Health Organization was malicious and
00:14:26.740
pro-Chinese communist, so they couldn't be trusted. So instead of waiting for the China-run World Health
00:14:32.280
Organization to warn them, they were on the lookout for themselves in Taiwan. Literally two, as of today,
00:14:38.940
five people, excuse me, have died out of 25 million. That's it. It's still five tragedies,
00:14:44.240
but more Taiwanese have been killed by lightning in the last few years than by this virus.
00:14:51.080
Look at how this disgraceful Canadian public health official answered the question about Taiwan,
00:15:17.400
No, that's okay. Let's move to another one then.
00:15:19.800
Right. Because I'm actually curious on talking about Taiwan as well, on Taiwan's case.
00:15:32.580
We decided to give Dr. Alward another call to follow up.
00:15:36.300
And I just want to see if you can comment a bit on how Taiwan has done so far in terms of containing
00:15:44.280
Well, we've already talked about China. And, you know, when you look across all the different
00:15:49.200
areas of China, they've actually all done quite a good job. So with that, I'd like to thank you very
00:15:55.460
much for inviting us to participate. And good luck as you go forward with the battle in Hong Kong.
00:16:01.360
Yeah, that's the weird, creepy World Health Organization. Never trust them. Taiwan knows
00:16:06.320
not to trust them. But Dr. Theresa Tam follows the World Health Organization. So she hopped right
00:16:12.920
into their mode, criticizing the virus as Chinese is racist. Shut up, she explained.
00:16:19.940
And of course, Canada's health minister, whose occupation before she was appointed was that
00:16:24.780
of a graphic designer. She said it was also racist to close the borders. Well, liberals always say
00:16:29.740
that. But bizarrely, they started to say that that doesn't work to stop the virus. How could it not
00:16:35.560
stop the virus? Well, again, shut up, she explained. Canadians think that we can stop this at the border.
00:16:42.680
But what we see is a global pandemic, meaning that border measures actually are highly ineffective
00:16:47.940
and in some cases can create harm. And we see that in some of the countries that have the worst
00:16:52.600
expression, who had the tightest borders. If I point to our dear friends in Italy, in fact, they had,
00:16:59.280
as you recall, some very early restrictions on international travel, in fact, shutting down
00:17:04.120
borders. And what they found was an escalation of cases because, of course, borders don't stop
00:17:09.160
travelers. And travelers find other ways into countries. And travelers become less honest about
00:17:15.280
where they've come from, where they're traveling to, what their particular symptoms may be.
00:17:20.180
So what are our public health experts saying now? They didn't close the borders. They didn't close
00:17:25.640
the airports. They didn't close Roxham Road until tens of thousands of people came in from foreign
00:17:32.140
countries, including China. So what's their advice now? They say, don't use face masks. They say that.
00:17:42.220
Why would they say that? Face masks are the number one tool for stopping the spread in Taiwan. It's
00:17:47.920
how they keep their schools open. Face masks for everyone. They make a ton of them. They ration them
00:17:53.620
weekly from pharmacies so there's not a stock out. It's a bit command and control for a free society,
00:17:59.380
but it works. So there's that. Thing is, Trudeau shipped our stockpile of face masks to China
00:18:04.560
in February. He just gave it to them. So we don't have many to ration, even though so obviously they work.
00:18:10.360
They stop your breath from inadvertently spraying moist virus-laden air on people and coughs on
00:18:18.020
people. It protects you a bit from others, and it protects others a bit from you. Of course it does.
00:18:24.140
If it didn't, why would dentists and doctors wear them? And I'm not even talking about the fancier
00:18:27.900
kind, the N95 masks, as they're called. I'm talking about the super cheap paper cloth kinds.
00:18:33.860
So listen to Dr. Tam talk about masks just this weekend.
00:18:38.740
Our position right now is that put a mask on someone with symptoms if they should need essential
00:18:46.140
services. Like if you have symptoms, you have to stay at home. You should not be wandering around
00:18:51.900
the community. If you need to get to a medical facility, at that point in time, that mask might
00:18:58.880
actually be useful because you now have infectious droplets that you might send to others. But
00:19:05.040
the key is to keep that two-meter distance. Masks have to be utilized appropriately too. Most
00:19:13.220
people haven't learned how to use masks. So there's many practical aspects of this. So
00:19:17.460
our advice right now is there is no need to use a mask for well people.
00:19:22.440
Hang on. So put a mask on someone with symptoms. Okay, good idea. But the whole thing about this
00:19:28.120
virus, why it's spreading so quickly, is that many people have no symptoms. They are asymptomatic,
00:19:34.500
as they say, for up to two weeks after they get the virus. So they can seem very healthy,
00:19:40.660
even though they're full of the virus, for up to two weeks. And while they're healthy,
00:19:45.040
healthy looking, but they actually have the virus, they're breathing on everyone for two weeks,
00:19:52.980
of course put a mask on if you have the symptoms. But the whole point is that many people are carrying
00:19:57.300
the virus without symptoms. That's why Taiwan makes everyone wear masks all the time.
00:20:03.840
And that line she said that people don't know how to wear masks. I mean, why not just go to your
00:20:08.960
safe place and say only a racist would want to wear a mask? What a dumb thing to say people don't
00:20:13.540
know how to wear masks. Masks work. Otherwise, why would nurses and doctors wear them?
00:20:19.640
But what about people working in a grocery store? Surely they see more people in a day than a doctor
00:20:25.060
does. Most restaurant drive-thrus are working these days. Surely they see 100 people a day,
00:20:31.280
maybe more. Why don't we give them masks and frankly, ask the people going to the restaurants
00:20:35.640
to wear masks. How can someone who says they're a doctor, who says they're a public health official,
00:20:40.680
how can that person say masks don't work? Masks aren't necessary. People don't even know how to
00:20:45.540
use masks. How can she say any of that with a straight face? Well, duh. Same way she called us
00:20:52.140
racist for wanting to stop flights from China. She's not a doctor first. She's a Trudeau liberal
00:20:58.840
first. And she knows her dumb as a plank boss gave away all our masks. So if she were to speak the truth
00:21:06.280
and say we need masks, people would say, well, okay, where are they? How can we get some? And it
00:21:10.460
would make her boss Trudeau look bad. So she lies, as she always has. I mean, these people
00:21:16.560
are politicians. Not just Trudeau and his cabinet, but the deep state. The RCMP are partisan now,
00:21:25.400
as we've all learned after the SNC-Lavalin scandal. And our health authorities are partisan now,
00:21:30.200
too. Just like our CBC state broadcasters, partisan, they're not protecting you. They're
00:21:37.580
protecting themselves by protecting Trudeau. Stay with us for more.
00:21:43.780
I'm a reporter with Rebel Media. Hey, Rebel Media. Yes. What part of New York? What bought you up
00:22:02.160
here? What's that? Just two. Well, I wanted to see if there was any extra border patrol due to the
00:22:08.220
fact that the COVID-19 thing, Trump said that he was going to have, like, an extra presence here.
00:22:13.580
And, you know, just there's some Canadian reporters on the other side. Couldn't get too close. And
00:22:19.120
they also didn't notice that there was too much of a difference with the presence there. I didn't
00:22:23.500
want to, I'm not going to get you guys on tape. No. You know, I thought you're going to turn it off
00:22:34.600
I mean, this is something people do. Just go home, like everybody else. Essential travel. This is not
00:22:40.140
essential. Oh, I see. Because of the COVID thing? Yeah. If it wasn't, this would be fine. No, it's
00:22:45.160
totally fine. I don't like people just folk around here, they're abating, abating in the bedding.
00:22:49.160
Mm-hmm. People leave, people sometimes murder through the Canada, right? Right.
00:22:53.240
Kill somebody in New York City, skip into Canada, we never kill. Mm-hmm. All right? You have a good
00:22:57.600
day. You as well. Did you know that, according to that cop, someone commits murder in New York
00:23:05.260
City and then skips into Canada through Roxham Road? Ha! Judging by Justin Trudeau, they're all
00:23:11.820
little lambs seeking refuge from the bad, bad world. You know, refugees from the United States.
00:23:18.520
Well, that was Ryan Katsu Rivera, a reporter from New York who did a freelance project for
00:23:26.000
us because had we sent a Canadian rebel journalist down, well, he could have gotten into the States,
00:23:32.020
but then there would have been a two-week quarantine when he came back. So Ryan did the job for us.
00:23:37.880
What a great video. He actually produced two videos for us. You can find them in full in
00:23:42.740
our YouTube page or elsewhere on our rebelnews.com page. But Ryan joins us now via
00:23:48.400
Skype. Ryan, great to see you. Thanks very much for going on this special mission for us.
00:23:53.680
No problem. I had a lot of fun doing it. It was an adventure.
00:23:57.420
Well, I really liked your style. You were really informal and calm. And even when the cops came,
00:24:03.560
you didn't lose your cool. You were firm enough. You weren't rude, but you weren't submissive. You
00:24:09.960
didn't run away right away. You said, hey, I have the right to be here. Those cops were on the
00:24:16.840
American side, right? That's right. Yeah. They came right up the same way that I came up,
00:24:22.120
like up Roxham Road. It's pretty cinematic when they, when I saw them pulling up, there was like
00:24:27.060
a dust trail behind them. And it's like this clearly, you know, a police vehicle coming towards
00:24:32.040
me. I was like, I'm being contacted because it was, there was nobody there to even try to talk to
00:24:37.520
besides the duck calls that I got from the guys in that building. So I was actually pretty stunned.
00:24:42.740
So what probably happened, I'm guessing here, is that you were spotted by the Canadians just across
00:24:48.720
the border in that white hut there. And they called for their American counterparts to come up and talk
00:24:58.380
to you. I'm guessing that's what's happened because those Americans wouldn't have spotted you, right?
00:25:03.400
No, no, there was no way. I didn't even see anybody like leading up to, I saw a couple of
00:25:10.220
horses and stuff, but I don't even think there's any of the residents that would have, you know,
00:25:14.160
called them. It had to have been them. Yeah. It had to have been the Canadian guys in that little
00:25:20.220
building. Now I'd seen the images you showed us before the no entry sign and please don't come here
00:25:29.020
sign, but also the contradictory message of the welcome hut where everyone gets processed. Can you
00:25:36.040
confirm that there was no signage at all referring to the virus or quarantine? And I think we just saw
00:25:44.460
there, there was no extra fencing whatsoever. There was nothing new there, visually speaking.
00:25:49.440
No, no, there was nothing. I mean, I was looking around for something like even like a little piece
00:25:55.320
of paper that's taped up and to see how extensive it is to get people notified about this whole thing.
00:26:03.120
You can go to a Burger King or a CVS or whatever. It doesn't matter how, you know, like how small any
00:26:09.660
business is a local liquor store that I visited later on that day. They had tape on the floor where
00:26:14.360
you're supposed to stand and everywhere has like some sort of notice, but not the border
00:26:20.280
between the United States and Canada. So I, yeah, it was pretty odd to not see that, to get away from
00:26:25.480
it all. And that being the place to do it. When I called you up about a week ago, uh, it was clear
00:26:32.020
to me that you, like every other American had never heard that 50,000 people had claimed to be
00:26:40.520
refugees from America going into Canada. I mean, it's a laughable thing that I'm a refugee from
00:26:47.160
Andrew Cuomo's New York. There's no such thing, but we're suckers up here to say, oh, sure, come on in.
00:26:54.100
And I mean, it's been a real irritant for Canadians. You're an American, obviously. What do you think of
00:27:00.340
the fact that 50,000 people have claimed to be refugees from New York walking into Canada?
00:27:07.700
Well, that's a little hurtful. I mean, if I didn't know America produced people that are
00:27:14.860
under such duress that they would be, they would want to leave. And that's, that's terrible because
00:27:19.000
we used to be that shining light on the Hill. And now, you know, now we're creating such traumatic
00:27:25.120
experiences for people that have sought refugee here that they have to keep, they have to keep
00:27:30.740
seeking refuge, refuge. Terrible. That one cop said to you that, and I don't know if he was speaking
00:27:37.440
hypothetically, like hypothetically, someone could. That somebody could kill somebody. And I mean,
00:27:43.020
it was a little ambiguous. Maybe he was just giving you a, for instance, or maybe someone had actually
00:27:49.440
done that. I don't know if we, how we would even know. Well, I talked to that resident, my follow-up
00:27:55.820
video of the day afterwards, and the resident that I spoke to said that there was someone who had left
00:28:01.760
a car there and then just went across. There's been a car that's been abandoned there. He mentioned
00:28:07.600
that, you know. So who knows what, I mean, if you're willing to leave a car that could be worth
00:28:13.560
thousands of dollars just to flee America, you're probably fleeing something serious.
00:28:20.740
Oh, good point. Yeah, that's a good point. Well, it's a very strange thing. And, you know,
00:28:26.400
I know a lot of Americans chuckled when Donald Trump suggested four years ago, I think almost,
00:28:33.300
that some illegals would self-deport. I mean, who on earth would voluntarily leave the United States
00:28:41.660
to some other country if they weren't forced out? I guess 50,000 Americans did self-deport
00:28:47.660
if they saw that as the lesser hassle. Maybe they saw Canada as the bigger sucker or richer welfare
00:28:55.920
or that we wouldn't deport them because they've already been ordered deported from America. Or
00:29:00.540
maybe they've got some, they're wanted for some criminal offense in America and Canada didn't
00:29:06.520
know about it. Like, it's sort of funny that 50,000 of the worst of the worst have indeed voluntarily
00:29:13.040
left America without border agents having to kick them out.
00:29:18.260
Yeah. And, you know, it's kind of like, like you said, doing ICE's job for them. But is it a
00:29:23.780
circumstance? It just got me thinking that if you needed some health care, that you go to Canada,
00:29:29.320
you get this warm welcome and then you get some health care. And then what is it like to sneak
00:29:35.040
back in from, from Canada to America? Is that possible? It's for health care and just a temporary
00:29:44.200
You know, that's a good point, especially in the age of the quarantine. If you walk across
00:29:48.540
into Canada, say, I got the fever, maybe you're going straight to the front of the line for free
00:29:53.560
health care. You go to the front of the line for health care in America, you could get a huge
00:29:57.140
bill. You do that in Canada. It's sent to the taxpayer. Very interesting. Well, Ryan, I think you did a
00:30:03.500
great job. You had a, just the right demeanor. And I know you do other things down there. You work
00:30:08.540
with our friend Gavin McInnes, but I hope you're up for future projects with us. I got so much good
00:30:13.800
feedback from how you did. I like your style and you've just followed, even though some, this story
00:30:19.000
here was new to you and to all Americans, I thought you picked it up really fast and did a great job.
00:30:25.540
Thanks. It was a great experience. Thank you for keeping me in mind.
00:30:29.000
Well, we sure will. And hopefully we can have more freelance projects from you in the future.
00:30:39.000
Cheers. Well, there you have it. Ryan Katsu Rivera. He works with our friend Gavin McInnes in New York,
00:30:44.280
and he did a great job up there at Roxham Road. Hopefully we'll have him for more projects. Stay with us.
00:30:49.920
On my monologue Friday about Trudeau's order in council to allow illegal immigrants with a fever
00:31:05.440
Let me get this straight. We are locked down with threats of more draconian measures,
00:31:10.860
but the immigrants keep streaming in even if they're sick?
00:31:13.100
Well, specifically if they're sick. That's the specific exemption in the law.
00:31:19.700
Everyone who is sick is banned from Canada, except those claiming to be refugees.
00:31:30.480
Well, thank you very much. You would think our media party would do the same, but
00:31:41.460
gee whiz, they've got that bailout to think about, and times are tough, and why not just go with the flow?
00:31:47.020
On my interview with Sheila Gunn-Reed on Trudeau's carbon tax, Paul writes,
00:31:52.100
Pretty much all the climate change policies are making this much, much worse.
00:31:55.500
That push for mass transit, mass migration, attacking the energy sector, banning single-use plastics, etc.
00:32:00.440
Yeah, let's throw in a carbon tax hike as well. Have to pay for those future illegal liberal voters.
00:32:06.800
Exactly, who's keeping this country going right now?
00:32:12.860
That's exactly who this carbon tax is targeted at.
00:32:15.640
You know who we haven't heard from a lot in the last few weeks, and I don't think anyone seems to miss?
00:32:22.220
As I said the other day, the gender studies professors and activists like that.
00:32:27.300
Funny how they're not essential to us living in the pandemic.
00:32:30.600
Thing is, ironically, they are all still getting paid by their universities,
00:32:36.740
while working men and women at restaurants and a million other places are being laid off.
00:32:42.940
Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters,
00:32:46.040
to you at home, good night, and keep fighting for freedom.
00:32:48.520
Then, over to Leo's book, we'll be looking forward to an car,
00:32:57.600
We tune with our daily journey from theaming portal.
00:33:12.720
There should be a relationship there at badges.
