Transcript

00:00:00.000 Welcome back to another episode of Stand on Guard. I'm your host, David Creighton.
00:00:05.860 Very happy we're going to have David Fryheit, otherwise known as Aviva Frye.
00:00:14.120 I'm so happy to have him on the show today. He's going to be joining us momentarily.
00:00:19.120 It is an issue that we need to discuss.
00:00:22.280 And when we come back, why are we talking about misinformation and disinformation at parliamentary committees?
00:00:31.880 So we are in a very precarious position in this country.
00:00:36.100 We need political change, but we also need to resolve to resist.
00:00:52.280 Yes, welcome back. Thank you. And like the station. Subscribe if you can.
00:00:59.800 If you need to re-subscribe, please do that. We're always happy to have you re-subscribe.
00:01:05.660 YouTube tends to take you up at times.
00:01:08.380 So I want to welcome my guest, David Fryheit. Viva Frye!
00:01:15.460 You know, and I just want to remind viewers, I met you at one of the protests in Ottawa.
00:01:21.700 It was after, I know you were there for the Freedom Convoy.
00:01:25.060 This was during that biker protest.
00:01:27.060 Yeah, the Rolling Thunder.
00:01:28.900 The Rolling Thunder, yeah. And it was so good to meet you.
00:01:31.780 Because I just admired your work so much and what you're doing on here.
00:01:35.000 And for the viewers who don't know, David, of course, is a Quebec lawyer who's now in Florida.
00:01:41.960 In living the good life of freedom.
00:01:44.920 For total liability reasons, I have to say, former Quebec lawyer,
00:01:48.400 I voluntarily relinquished my license in good standing because I was paying however many thousands of dollars a year
00:01:54.900 to maintain that license while in Florida.
00:01:56.820 And I don't plan on practicing, let alone necessarily going back to Quebec.
00:02:00.780 So the only thing my license was serving for was allowing people to file ethics complaints
00:02:06.260 because they didn't like tweets of mine.
00:02:08.140 Oh, okay. I'm glad you clarified that.
00:02:11.640 But, of course, your legal opinion is still standing.
00:02:15.280 And we always like to.
00:02:16.800 I just want to play a quick, quick scene here from the Security Committee.
00:02:22.200 And I know you've probably seen this.
00:02:24.340 And the viewers might have seen this.
00:02:25.540 And I'm not going to show much of it.
00:02:27.040 But this is an incredible confrontation between a conservative MP, Raquel Danko, from Manitoba,
00:02:37.180 and Lauren Chen, who was hauled before this committee,
00:02:42.720 who basically pleaded the fifth that we would say in the United States and said,
00:02:47.460 I'm not going to say anything.
00:02:49.300 Go ahead, ask me as many questions as you want.
00:02:51.480 But she was just absolutely gone on for over an hour by the committee members.
00:02:57.780 And here's, I'll remind the viewers, this is a conservative MP coming on like Joe McCarthy.
00:03:03.080 I would just remind you that this is a committee of parliament.
00:03:06.020 We are members of parliament at this table.
00:03:07.920 You've been rightfully summoned.
00:03:09.860 And it is your obligation, under my belief and the belief of our committee,
00:03:13.860 that you should be answering these questions.
00:03:16.400 That is the duty that you have to the Canadian institutions that you are here today,
00:03:20.400 that we all work hard.
00:03:22.000 We serve this committee.
00:03:22.800 This is the Public Safety and National Security Committee of Canada.
00:03:25.620 So I'd urge you to reconsider answering our questions.
00:03:28.180 This is a very serious matter that you have engaged in, or allegedly, through this indictment.
00:03:32.620 And again, I'd ask that you respectfully engage in a dialogue with us today and answer our questions.
00:03:38.720 So there are a number of issues in here that I'd like to go over with you.
00:03:42.040 But of course, first and foremost, I'd like to ask you, were you directly receiving payments from Russia today
00:03:49.180 to proliferate the propaganda from the Russian government to your North American audience?
00:03:55.260 For the reasons outlined in my opening statement, I have no comments.
00:04:00.240 Go ahead.
00:04:01.640 No, just how loaded that question is.
00:04:04.440 Were you receiving money, not receiving money?
00:04:06.420 That would have been a legit question.
00:04:07.960 To proliferate propaganda is a presupposition.
00:04:11.500 The entire issue of that indictment, on the one hand, is that nobody was paid to change messaging.
00:04:17.660 And it's not like the people who were even paid under that so-called Russian propaganda scheme
00:04:21.780 were even pro-Russia to begin with.
00:04:24.500 It's just like, you look at Raquel Down show, and you look at these politicians,
00:04:29.700 they're literally drunk on their own power.
00:04:31.440 And it happens over time.
00:04:32.780 You know, Raquel, who was herself, you know, incredulous to the government's explanation
00:04:38.480 for invoking the Emergencies Act to suppress the protests, where she said,
00:04:42.780 oh my goodness, I didn't realize that we were, you know, at the risk of being raped by these protesters.
00:04:47.980 Remember when, oh, what's that guy's face?
00:04:50.480 Oh, I loathe.
00:04:52.200 Mark, I forget his name, and it'll come back in a second, where the guy who was in charge of security,
00:04:57.760 you know, said that the truckers were threatening to rape people.
00:05:00.000 And Raquel Danko was like, oh, I didn't realize we were at risk there, as if to say, like,
00:05:04.000 I understand that the political parties lied for the purposes of invoking the Emergencies Act.
00:05:08.220 And now she's just become part of a big, fat lie.
00:05:11.560 The lie that they want to weaponize their power to haul before Parliament for investigative purposes,
00:05:18.240 to, you know, look into Russian interference in Canadian media.
00:05:22.460 And they haul Lauren Chen, who owns a, you know, owned a social media company or owns a social media company,
00:05:27.200 because she was paid allegedly by a Russian agent, allegedly, to then license with Tim Rubin,
00:05:36.140 Dave Rubin, Tim Poole, Lauren Chen, Matt Christensen,
00:05:40.740 for people who were spreading a message which was consistent with everything they had ever said before
00:05:45.120 and was by no means pro-Trump and pro-Putin in the first place.
00:05:48.240 It's insanity. But you look at her, she's just, they're drunk off their own power.
00:05:52.520 Well, it strikes me as odd, passing strange, that this whole indictment is in the United States
00:05:59.120 with the Department of Justice, and that'll play out whether or not she accepted any money,
00:06:04.000 whether or not she was undermining American democracy.
00:06:06.500 I think the whole thing is complete farce, but that'll play out in the U.S.
00:06:11.480 So why is a Canadian parliamentary committee hauling her in front of this committee
00:06:16.800 to ask these, as you say, loaded questions?
00:06:20.260 And why are the conservatives so obsessed with Russian disinformation?
00:06:24.420 I thought we were supposed to be looking into Chinese foreign interference,
00:06:28.080 but now, of course, Trudeau's got people sidetracked in India,
00:06:30.860 and now he's got the conservatives talking like Joe McCarthy in front of these committees,
00:06:37.760 thinking, let's get the truth out of you.
00:06:40.280 Are the conservatives being hijacked here?
00:06:43.020 Well, it leads me to believe that the conservatives might be compromised here.
00:06:47.300 Like, the one good answer for why they're focusing on this utter red herring non-issue,
00:06:52.560 it's a non-issue, and I don't care what anybody says out there,
00:06:55.280 oh, Lauren Trent is a traitor.
00:06:56.820 It's an absolute non-issue, even if the allegation is somewhat true.
00:07:02.340 They received $10 million to finance a social media company
00:07:05.240 and licensed out independent commentators
00:07:07.900 whose messaging was not dictated one way or the other.
00:07:11.500 Even if it's true, it's a non-issue.
00:07:13.940 What it is is it serves as the perfect distraction
00:07:16.440 from Chinese interference in Canadian politics
00:07:19.700 and Indian interference in Canadian politics,
00:07:22.740 and Canadian politics and their ties to China
00:07:25.880 and medical research or, you know, virology research
00:07:29.680 that might be questionable.
00:07:31.260 Canada's training of Chinese soldiers on Canadian soil
00:07:34.080 for war, you know, wintertime combat.
00:07:35.800 It's a perfect distraction,
00:07:37.380 and it leads me to believe that the conservatives
00:07:39.380 are just as tainted as the liberals,
00:07:41.140 and they need this distraction to distract
00:07:42.900 from the scandal of China and India
00:07:45.280 that has apparently infiltrated Canadian politics
00:07:47.520 and probably the conservatives as well.
00:07:49.680 Well, I think it's interesting you noted the Chinese effect,
00:07:54.060 again, and the conservatives possibly being involved with this.
00:07:57.760 But on the same day this was going on, of course,
00:08:00.280 there was a parliamentary report that comes up saying
00:08:02.400 CSIS warned the government about these two Chinese scientists,
00:08:08.060 aka espionage agents,
00:08:10.060 who were working in the Winnipeg microbiology lab.
00:08:14.080 Seven months they warned the government that this was going on.
00:08:17.140 These people were actually taking samples of their work,
00:08:20.080 sending it back to the People's Liberation Army in China,
00:08:23.660 that these people were not working for any international good,
00:08:27.800 certainly not for Canada, but for China.
00:08:29.920 And this report has been buried,
00:08:32.320 because the question for me is,
00:08:34.720 was there a quid pro quo for protecting these people,
00:08:38.100 for getting them out of the country,
00:08:39.620 sending them back to China without any questions being asked,
00:08:42.100 no publicity, nothing was said or done?
00:08:43.940 The Trudeau government buried this story.
00:08:46.580 And not only that,
00:08:47.660 were they working on the COVID virus when they're in Winnipeg?
00:08:51.620 No, we're not getting any questions about this.
00:08:54.160 And it's like, nobody wants to talk about China.
00:08:56.680 Let's talk about how the Russians are undermining our democracy
00:08:59.540 and under everyone's bed.
00:09:02.040 It's wild.
00:09:03.580 First of all, a quid pro quo,
00:09:05.340 or at the very least a cover up.
00:09:06.800 Like they find out that there's been infiltration,
00:09:10.060 either through government incompetence or corruption or whatever.
00:09:12.580 And so the easiest way to deal with it is,
00:09:14.280 let them go and don't look at it anymore.
00:09:16.420 And now focus on this little shiny object here.
00:09:19.700 Russia undermining the sanctions that have been,
00:09:24.100 in my view, also wrongly imposed on RT.
00:09:26.800 I appreciate that there's conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
00:09:30.900 And I appreciate that we look at Russia and say,
00:09:33.180 okay, they're an international adversary.
00:09:35.660 The idea that we put a ban on news outlets
00:09:39.040 because they're state funded,
00:09:40.680 so we blocked RT or at least tried to de-platform RT.
00:09:43.980 And they allege that Lauren Chen is now,
00:09:46.000 through her subterfuge,
00:09:47.320 her alleged subterfuge,
00:09:48.620 circumventing this ban on RT.
00:09:52.100 It should never have been there in the first place.
00:09:54.060 I mean, you want to ban BBC?
00:09:55.640 You want to ban NPR?
00:09:56.800 You want to ban,
00:09:57.500 I can't think of state-funded media from other countries.
00:10:00.480 No.
00:10:01.180 We want to train Chinese soldiers in Canada
00:10:03.940 while simultaneously saying we've got to ban RT
00:10:06.400 because Russia is an enemy.
00:10:07.600 Do we know the names of the politicians
00:10:11.140 who are likely related to spies or some form of foreign affairs?
00:10:16.200 Do we know their names yet?
00:10:17.200 Do we even know if they're all liberals?
00:10:19.180 Because I am now predicting,
00:10:21.100 with virtual certainty,
00:10:22.620 they're not all liberals.
00:10:23.680 Because nothing can explain this absolute insanity
00:10:25.960 coming from the so-called conservatives.
00:10:27.880 They're just liberals in disguise,
00:10:29.180 or liberals driving the speed limit,
00:10:30.500 as Michael Malice says.
00:10:31.720 Well, we do actually have four of the names,
00:10:35.340 and there is one conservative on the list.
00:10:39.100 So I said this from the very beginning.
00:10:40.940 I didn't think anyone in the conservative party,
00:10:44.040 even Pierre Pauli,
00:10:45.080 have seemed very interested
00:10:46.040 in getting to the so-called bottom
00:10:48.380 of this Chinese election interference.
00:10:50.860 And it was kicked upstairs to the Hogue inquiry.
00:10:54.380 And there it's been.
00:10:55.820 And of course, Justice Hogue has come back and said,
00:10:58.580 I'm sorry, I can't do anything about these spies,
00:11:00.580 the identity of these so-called spies,
00:11:03.700 or these people who have been under
00:11:05.140 the effect of foreign influence.
00:11:07.080 That's beyond my powers.
00:11:08.500 So I can't do anything about that.
00:11:09.820 And everybody seems to be saying,
00:11:11.540 oh, God, that's a relief.
00:11:13.200 We're not going to have to get into this.
00:11:14.800 Everybody in the government,
00:11:16.660 and the opposition at least.
00:11:18.260 But what strikes me as odd here as well,
00:11:20.000 is we've got all these politicians saying,
00:11:22.080 you know, Lauren,
00:11:22.720 you might have been under the influence
00:11:23.940 of a foreign government,
00:11:25.020 receiving the pay of a foreign government.
00:11:26.720 What about these journalists in Canada
00:11:28.620 who are under the influence of a domestic government,
00:11:32.100 namely the Trudeau government?
00:11:33.180 They're receiving subsidies from the Trudeau government.
00:11:35.940 Can they be trusted to report the news
00:11:37.800 if they're being given money
00:11:39.600 by the Trudeau government to do that?
00:11:41.800 It's the iron law of woke projection
00:11:44.080 that, you know,
00:11:44.840 they look at Lauren Chen.
00:11:45.960 By the way,
00:11:47.180 can we also just highlight one thing?
00:11:49.200 Canada, I'm not sure that it's on Russia's radar.
00:11:51.880 And if it is,
00:11:52.480 it's only because of its ties to China.
00:11:54.160 The idea that Russia is going to invest
00:11:56.300 in Canadian outlets
00:11:58.220 or Canadian adjacent outlets
00:11:59.420 to undermine the Canadian government
00:12:01.960 or to put pro-Russian messaging
00:12:04.380 into Canadian politics,
00:12:06.060 it's so,
00:12:07.040 not arrogant,
00:12:08.320 but false arrogance
00:12:09.300 for these politicians here,
00:12:10.840 Raquel Danko
00:12:11.480 and the Canadian Conservative Party,
00:12:13.000 to think Russia has the slightest interest
00:12:14.740 in Canadian politics.
00:12:16.340 But the idea that they look at
00:12:18.300 Lauren Chen,
00:12:19.840 Tenet Media,
00:12:20.380 they look at this indictment,
00:12:21.780 A,
00:12:21.940 they take it all for granted.
00:12:22.880 These are allegations in an indictment
00:12:24.760 that has no domestic defendant.
00:12:27.740 So there'll be no meaningful exploration
00:12:29.200 or discovery
00:12:29.720 to see what the hell's going on
00:12:30.700 in this indictment.
00:12:31.660 They indict two foreigners
00:12:33.180 who are never going to appear
00:12:34.100 so they can run with the headlines
00:12:35.400 of the indictment
00:12:36.260 without having to prove anything
00:12:37.380 in the indictment.
00:12:37.880 Set that aside.
00:12:39.260 They look at Tenet Media and say,
00:12:40.800 they're trying to influence
00:12:42.060 Canadian politics
00:12:43.140 because they're a state,
00:12:44.180 they're pushing the message
00:12:45.320 of a state-funded media.
00:12:46.640 You're right.
00:12:47.420 The idea that they think
00:12:48.460 you need to be paid
00:12:49.160 to support the government
00:12:50.100 is exactly what they operate by
00:12:52.360 because they're paid
00:12:53.080 to support the current
00:12:54.240 Canadian government.
00:12:55.380 So all of these
00:12:56.540 state-funded media outlets
00:12:58.140 promoting this,
00:12:59.420 what I think is a big fat lie,
00:13:00.840 but I might be wrong
00:13:01.520 and it doesn't even matter
00:13:02.240 if I am,
00:13:03.000 all of them promoting
00:13:03.920 this story right now
00:13:05.220 are state-funded
00:13:06.340 who are financed
00:13:07.460 by the liberal regime
00:13:08.940 to push pro-liberal propaganda
00:13:10.740 and to crush the conservatives
00:13:12.440 when necessary.
00:13:13.720 But that's why they see it in others
00:13:15.400 because that's how they view the world
00:13:16.620 because that's how they operate.
00:13:17.920 They are the state-funded media
00:13:19.380 pushing Trudeau propaganda.
00:13:21.080 Yeah, and that's,
00:13:23.740 I couldn't agree more.
00:13:25.540 I want to briefly check out
00:13:27.160 this quick video as well.
00:13:29.140 This is,
00:13:29.840 the background to this,
00:13:31.520 of course,
00:13:31.860 is the former immigration minister,
00:13:33.760 and once again,
00:13:34.620 this is a conservative foreign,
00:13:37.000 former immigration minister,
00:13:39.700 Chris Alexander,
00:13:41.040 was brought before
00:13:41.940 the Security Committee
00:13:42.980 to warn about
00:13:44.360 all of these Russian agents
00:13:46.600 out there
00:13:47.200 who are propagating
00:13:48.320 Russian news,
00:13:49.440 undermining Canadian democracy,
00:13:51.060 the same old line.
00:13:52.320 But Chris Alexander actually,
00:13:54.820 and of course,
00:13:55.580 he can say this,
00:13:56.560 he's in a privileged context,
00:13:57.960 he's on a privileged platform.
00:13:59.860 Otherwise,
00:14:00.340 it would have been defamation.
00:14:01.840 He actually called
00:14:02.700 a journalist
00:14:03.340 that I've known
00:14:03.940 for quite some time,
00:14:05.160 David Puglase,
00:14:06.140 Ottawa Citizen reporter.
00:14:07.660 I don't always agree with David,
00:14:09.820 but I've known him
00:14:10.740 for many years.
00:14:11.840 I used to work with him
00:14:12.880 when I was with
00:14:13.540 the Defense Critics Office
00:14:15.800 in the official opposition days
00:14:17.140 many years ago.
00:14:18.940 He's done some great work
00:14:20.180 about uncovering nonsense
00:14:22.620 that goes on
00:14:23.420 in the Department
00:14:24.260 of National Defense.
00:14:25.700 And I've always thought,
00:14:26.420 you know,
00:14:26.640 he's a reporter
00:14:28.040 who just doesn't believe politicians,
00:14:30.060 which is,
00:14:30.400 I think,
00:14:30.780 what reporters should be.
00:14:32.240 Don't trust politicians.
00:14:34.040 But Chris Alexander
00:14:35.280 called him a Russian agent.
00:14:36.360 I found this
00:14:37.600 absolutely astounding.
00:14:38.880 And he decided
00:14:39.960 to go before this committee.
00:14:41.700 And once again,
00:14:43.080 this committee reminds me,
00:14:44.680 and if you know anything
00:14:45.380 about American history
00:14:47.600 in the 1950s,
00:14:48.680 there was a House
00:14:49.300 Un-American Activities Committee,
00:14:51.000 which used to haul people
00:14:52.160 in front of it,
00:14:53.100 say,
00:14:53.360 when were you a communist?
00:14:55.860 When did you stop
00:14:57.480 beating your spouse?
00:14:59.200 I mean,
00:14:59.380 those were the nature
00:15:00.860 of the questions.
00:15:02.140 Yeah.
00:15:02.400 And of course,
00:15:03.440 if you went before this committee,
00:15:05.300 the only hope
00:15:06.280 you had
00:15:06.860 of getting out of there
00:15:08.600 without huge repercussions
00:15:10.960 for your career,
00:15:11.700 because blacklisting was real.
00:15:13.840 I'm as anti-communist
00:15:15.000 as anybody.
00:15:15.720 I think there was
00:15:16.400 a communist threat,
00:15:17.360 but what went on
00:15:18.040 in that committee
00:15:18.640 and what went on
00:15:19.300 with Joe McCarthy,
00:15:20.400 the techniques
00:15:21.000 were terrible at times.
00:15:22.480 People's livelihoods
00:15:23.500 were endangered.
00:15:24.380 People's reputations
00:15:25.380 were smeared,
00:15:26.720 sometimes completely unjustly.
00:15:28.780 But the only hope
00:15:29.500 people had
00:15:29.940 of getting out
00:15:30.500 of that committee alive
00:15:31.460 was to name names,
00:15:33.480 was to say,
00:15:34.020 I'm not the communist,
00:15:35.400 but I can tell you who is.
00:15:36.580 Oh, okay.
00:15:37.360 Okay, good, good.
00:15:38.520 So name, you know,
00:15:39.240 we've got 10 more people
00:15:40.580 to invite before this committee.
00:15:42.460 Kuglase went before this committee
00:15:44.280 just to say,
00:15:45.300 I'm dumbstruck.
00:15:46.660 I just want to briefly show this.
00:15:48.160 Just for the record,
00:15:49.380 perhaps,
00:15:50.100 have you ever published
00:15:51.360 a story
00:15:51.960 where the Kremlin
00:15:54.360 was your source?
00:15:56.280 I'm sorry,
00:15:59.500 but I want the opportunity
00:16:00.600 on the record.
00:16:01.580 Thank you.
00:16:02.420 Thank you, Madam Chair.
00:16:04.340 So, no,
00:16:05.420 I have never published
00:16:06.560 a story
00:16:07.220 where the Kremlin
00:16:07.840 was my source.
00:16:09.200 I have done
00:16:10.460 one interview
00:16:11.500 with the spokesman
00:16:14.500 from the Russian embassy
00:16:15.620 who has given the boot
00:16:17.180 from Canada
00:16:18.240 and that was published.
00:16:20.640 Most of my sources
00:16:23.860 are Canadian Forces records
00:16:27.120 that I acquire
00:16:29.480 through the access
00:16:30.220 to information law,
00:16:32.100 Canadian Forces statements,
00:16:33.980 and Canadian Forces personnel
00:16:35.680 usually coming to me
00:16:37.140 for help
00:16:37.840 because they're getting,
00:16:40.160 for want of a better word,
00:16:42.000 jerked around
00:16:42.600 by the chain of command.
00:16:44.120 So that's why
00:16:45.080 these documents,
00:16:46.480 I don't know
00:16:47.120 where they came from,
00:16:48.480 and maybe that
00:16:50.520 you should ask him,
00:16:51.300 Mr. Alexander,
00:16:52.020 he said they came from Ukraine.
00:16:53.240 He didn't give specifics.
00:16:55.600 Why would the Soviets
00:16:56.640 look at me
00:16:57.460 if they did?
00:16:59.380 I think that's just
00:17:00.420 standard operating procedure
00:17:02.080 for most journalists
00:17:05.320 during the Cold War,
00:17:06.280 most academics,
00:17:07.120 and most politicians.
00:17:08.660 I report about
00:17:09.960 these procurements
00:17:10.880 that go offline
00:17:12.060 and, you know,
00:17:13.580 for me,
00:17:14.500 that's just reporting
00:17:15.500 on where our tax dollars
00:17:16.960 are going.
00:17:17.500 So I don't see,
00:17:18.500 I don't understand that,
00:17:20.340 you know,
00:17:21.320 what that big issue is.
00:17:23.020 Now, give me...
00:17:23.880 Well, and I'll end it there
00:17:26.180 because I know exactly
00:17:27.200 what he's talking about.
00:17:28.140 If you ever work
00:17:28.900 with the official opposition
00:17:29.920 in the House of Commons,
00:17:31.460 that's exactly the kind of people
00:17:32.760 who come to your office,
00:17:34.120 people who feel
00:17:34.760 they've been jerked around,
00:17:35.820 as he said,
00:17:36.620 by the department,
00:17:37.640 by the Canadian Air Enforces,
00:17:38.800 they feel like
00:17:39.220 they've been treated unfairly,
00:17:40.540 they can't deal
00:17:41.460 with the chain of command,
00:17:42.600 they have to go
00:17:43.340 to a journalist
00:17:43.920 or they have to go
00:17:44.740 to the opposition parties
00:17:46.240 to say,
00:17:46.720 hey, what do I do?
00:17:48.000 I have no alternative.
00:17:49.220 My livelihood's being destroyed,
00:17:50.460 my life's being destroyed,
00:17:52.120 and I don't see
00:17:53.080 how there's any connection
00:17:53.980 here with Russian disinformation
00:17:55.820 or Russian propaganda.
00:17:58.180 I mean,
00:17:58.380 is this an incredible smokescreen
00:18:01.140 that's going on here?
00:18:02.600 Well, it's two things.
00:18:03.860 First of all,
00:18:04.220 his name was Marco Mendicino.
00:18:05.760 He's the one I forgot.
00:18:06.720 Oh, yes, yes.
00:18:07.920 Mendicino,
00:18:08.340 when he said,
00:18:08.700 oh, the truckers
00:18:09.460 were threatening women
00:18:10.260 with rape,
00:18:10.780 and then Raquel is like,
00:18:12.400 oh, I didn't,
00:18:13.080 then why'd you let us
00:18:13.760 walk through downtown Ottawa?
00:18:15.080 So she's now
00:18:16.200 on the same side
00:18:17.040 as the party
00:18:17.620 that was lying
00:18:18.200 through their teeth
00:18:18.860 when they were violating
00:18:19.720 Canadian civil rights,
00:18:20.720 but set that aside.
00:18:22.300 And also,
00:18:23.460 that guy's not
00:18:24.140 the first person
00:18:24.820 to accuse another journalist
00:18:26.260 of being a Russian agent.
00:18:27.840 Mark Gerritsen,
00:18:29.020 in all of his wisdom,
00:18:30.460 took to Twitter
00:18:31.060 to call Kat Kanata
00:18:32.520 a Russian agent,
00:18:33.880 and he then had
00:18:34.700 to backtrack
00:18:35.280 and apologize
00:18:35.780 because they were
00:18:36.420 going to sue him
00:18:37.100 for defamation.
00:18:38.360 It's a smokescreen
00:18:39.080 on the one hand,
00:18:39.620 but also,
00:18:40.440 I do think it somewhat
00:18:41.340 goes back to the trucker protests
00:18:42.880 where,
00:18:43.860 remember,
00:18:44.260 in the day,
00:18:44.820 they were alleging
00:18:45.720 that the protest
00:18:46.920 was being financed
00:18:47.860 by Russian interests
00:18:48.800 and it was a pro-Russian protest
00:18:50.140 and it's foreign interference
00:18:51.380 and that's why
00:18:51.800 they had to come down
00:18:52.460 with a Putin boot of fury
00:18:54.740 with their police
00:18:55.640 to beat veterans
00:18:56.840 into submission
00:18:57.560 to end that protest.
00:18:58.920 I think this is just like
00:18:59.660 one last-ditch effort
00:19:00.640 to try to ratify that decision
00:19:02.040 or at least lend
00:19:03.000 some credibility to it.
00:19:03.980 But no,
00:19:04.500 my bottom-line takeaway,
00:19:06.220 this is an absolute
00:19:07.120 red herring.
00:19:08.000 To make hay out of nothing
00:19:09.420 so that they can
00:19:10.600 further censor online,
00:19:13.460 further shut down
00:19:14.180 social media accounts
00:19:15.160 or further regulate
00:19:15.960 the internet
00:19:16.440 and further distract
00:19:17.700 from what is clear
00:19:18.680 and obvious
00:19:19.600 and now confirmed
00:19:20.960 Chinese and Indian
00:19:22.480 spy infiltration
00:19:23.860 into both the Conservative
00:19:24.940 and the Liberal Party.
00:19:27.080 I just think
00:19:28.280 it's an absolute travesty
00:19:29.840 that the Conservative Party
00:19:31.520 of Canada
00:19:32.500 is being hijacked
00:19:34.260 like this.
00:19:34.640 David,
00:19:36.020 they held her in contempt.
00:19:37.860 They haul her before,
00:19:39.680 they flaunt their,
00:19:41.520 they have the power
00:19:42.880 of the government,
00:19:43.520 they have the monopoly
00:19:44.280 of the violence,
00:19:45.060 they haul Lauren Chen
00:19:46.440 before committee
00:19:47.600 with the subpoena
00:19:48.280 that if she defies,
00:19:49.740 it's contempt.
00:19:50.640 If she gets there
00:19:51.500 and refuses to answer
00:19:52.440 their absolutely bogus
00:19:54.520 loaded questions,
00:19:55.440 it's contempt.
00:19:56.480 And if she answers it,
00:19:57.720 well then they're just
00:19:58.280 going to try to find
00:19:58.860 something to go after her
00:20:00.100 for another reason
00:20:01.220 later on.
00:20:01.560 I would have,
00:20:02.440 I'd like to believe
00:20:03.100 if I were ever summoned
00:20:03.980 in similar circumstances,
00:20:05.400 I would show up
00:20:06.500 and dissect each
00:20:07.880 and every one
00:20:08.240 of those idiotic questions.
00:20:09.780 I'm sorry, Raquel,
00:20:10.800 can you break down
00:20:11.620 your accusation
00:20:12.480 into did I receive funds
00:20:13.960 that are alleged
00:20:14.720 to have come from Russia?
00:20:16.080 That's what the indictment says.
00:20:17.500 Did I know where
00:20:18.060 these funds came from?
00:20:19.020 I thought I did.
00:20:20.260 Was it to promote propaganda?
00:20:21.960 No, it wasn't
00:20:22.640 because none of these commentators,
00:20:24.220 even by the allegations
00:20:25.420 in the indictment,
00:20:26.160 which I doubt Raquel Danko
00:20:27.540 even read,
00:20:28.360 the indictment says
00:20:29.160 nobody had their messaging
00:20:30.340 curated
00:20:31.760 or nobody was told
00:20:33.620 what to say
00:20:34.240 and they said
00:20:35.760 the same things
00:20:36.320 before, during, and after.
00:20:37.680 So it's an amazing thing
00:20:38.860 to allege Russian propaganda
00:20:40.100 when there was
00:20:40.720 no direction of content
00:20:42.000 in the first place
00:20:43.040 even under these agreements.
00:20:44.000 So I like to think
00:20:45.100 I would have done
00:20:45.800 things differently,
00:20:46.460 but they put you
00:20:46.900 in an impossible position
00:20:47.820 so they can then
00:20:48.660 run with their headlines,
00:20:49.600 run with their idiotic questions
00:20:50.960 and congrats,
00:20:53.040 Conservative Party.
00:20:53.720 You have engaged
00:20:54.440 in communist-esque
00:20:55.760 McCarthyism
00:20:56.760 in real time
00:20:57.800 in Canada
00:20:58.340 in the modern day.
00:20:59.020 You are virtually no better
00:21:00.380 than the liberals,
00:21:01.540 maybe a little bit,
00:21:02.300 a couple years behind,
00:21:03.640 but give it time.
00:21:04.800 Polyev and the Conservative Party
00:21:05.760 will be just as bad
00:21:06.580 as Trudeau.
00:21:08.300 Well, I think at the,
00:21:09.660 you know,
00:21:09.900 at the bottom of all this,
00:21:11.000 of course,
00:21:11.440 is an insistence
00:21:12.360 that we support
00:21:13.200 the liberal government's
00:21:14.560 policy on Ukraine,
00:21:15.720 which was continue
00:21:16.500 to dispense
00:21:17.180 tens of billions
00:21:17.940 of dollars,
00:21:19.540 continue and support
00:21:20.920 this war
00:21:21.400 till the end,
00:21:22.220 keep the armaments,
00:21:23.100 manufacturers humming,
00:21:24.500 keep the money flowing,
00:21:25.580 and Polyev has been
00:21:27.520 in lockstep
00:21:28.180 with Trudeau
00:21:29.420 on this from day one.
00:21:30.640 I think that's a mistake
00:21:31.840 for Polyev to do that
00:21:33.000 because the grassroots
00:21:33.840 of the party,
00:21:35.080 clearly,
00:21:35.700 from what I've seen,
00:21:36.900 are not supporting
00:21:38.080 an endless war
00:21:39.200 in Ukraine.
00:21:40.200 They want this war
00:21:40.980 to end.
00:21:41.440 Thank God,
00:21:42.280 and I think
00:21:42.900 this is our segue,
00:21:43.940 thank God Donald Trump
00:21:45.300 was re-elected
00:21:46.980 to the White House
00:21:47.620 last time,
00:21:48.240 a week ago today.
00:21:49.820 So I think
00:21:50.240 no matter what Trudeau
00:21:51.220 and Polyev want
00:21:52.000 for Ukraine,
00:21:53.000 Donald Trump
00:21:53.540 wants something else.
00:21:54.520 He wants peace
00:21:55.340 and he wants
00:21:55.800 an end to foreign wars.
00:21:57.500 I don't want to segue
00:21:58.340 just yet
00:21:58.800 because I don't want
00:21:59.200 to let Polyev
00:22:00.200 off the hook
00:22:00.840 just yet,
00:22:01.300 but any leader
00:22:03.160 of a nation
00:22:04.120 or of a so-called
00:22:05.960 opposition party
00:22:06.820 that is chanting
00:22:07.880 glory to another nation,
00:22:09.580 I'm sorry,
00:22:10.300 that strikes me
00:22:11.420 as being somewhat
00:22:11.980 disloyal to your country.
00:22:14.180 Polyev getting up there
00:22:15.020 and saying
00:22:15.260 Slava Ukraini
00:22:16.120 and not understanding
00:22:17.920 the history
00:22:18.340 of that slogan
00:22:19.640 and B,
00:22:20.480 saying it
00:22:20.880 as the leader
00:22:21.760 of the opposition
00:22:22.600 to Canada.
00:22:23.380 If you want
00:22:24.840 to pledge your loyalty
00:22:25.440 to a foreign country,
00:22:26.440 go to that foreign country.
00:22:28.300 Even more offensive,
00:22:29.460 by the way,
00:22:29.720 from that same
00:22:30.480 grilling of Lauren Chen,
00:22:31.860 it wasn't just
00:22:32.520 that they were suggesting
00:22:33.140 the Russian propaganda
00:22:34.100 was opposing the war
00:22:36.060 or opposing
00:22:37.040 the blind,
00:22:37.980 endless support
00:22:39.020 of Ukraine.
00:22:39.780 It was as though
00:22:40.640 you couldn't suggest
00:22:42.360 any form of corruption
00:22:43.500 in Ukraine.
00:22:44.340 It's as though
00:22:44.620 you couldn't hold
00:22:45.280 anything against
00:22:45.980 the Ukrainian government
00:22:46.740 that had been held
00:22:47.600 against the Ukrainian government
00:22:48.540 for a decade earlier.
00:22:49.920 But it went even beyond that.
00:22:51.540 They went into
00:22:52.260 the 2SLGBTQIA plus messaging
00:22:54.980 that it was pro-Russian
00:22:56.460 to be critical
00:22:57.520 of this transgender movement.
00:22:59.440 So it was,
00:23:00.260 it's just,
00:23:00.720 it is intended
00:23:01.520 to scare people
00:23:02.720 into silence in Canada
00:23:03.840 and Lauren Chen
00:23:04.700 is that,
00:23:05.620 that whipping post,
00:23:07.100 so to speak.
00:23:07.700 All right,
00:23:07.880 now,
00:23:08.560 to Trump.
00:23:09.660 Holy cow.
00:23:10.560 Can you believe it?
00:23:11.520 I was going to,
00:23:17.580 let me,
00:23:18.120 let me get me back on here.
00:23:19.460 I, yeah,
00:23:19.960 just,
00:23:20.640 just one comment
00:23:21.380 on what you last said too.
00:23:22.360 I mean,
00:23:22.600 if you listen to
00:23:23.860 Jennifer O'Connor
00:23:24.740 who is the liberal,
00:23:26.300 I think she's actually
00:23:26.960 the chair of the committee.
00:23:28.020 She's on there
00:23:29.000 going on
00:23:29.960 with Lauren Chen
00:23:30.900 about how despicable
00:23:32.420 her ideas are
00:23:33.580 about the LGBTQ community
00:23:35.780 and how her,
00:23:36.900 despicable her ideas are
00:23:38.560 on gender ideology.
00:23:39.820 And isn't that
00:23:40.560 just like the Russians?
00:23:41.520 to be supporting this?
00:23:44.000 And how do you feel
00:23:44.700 being in the Russians' pocket?
00:23:46.340 So if you,
00:23:47.260 if you oppose
00:23:48.040 the trans ideology,
00:23:50.020 you're a Russian propagandist.
00:23:51.240 If you oppose endless wars
00:23:52.760 and the military-industrial complex,
00:23:54.380 you're a Russian propagandist.
00:23:55.920 Amazing.
00:23:56.700 Thank you,
00:23:57.680 Raquel,
00:23:57.980 for partaking
00:23:58.620 in the silencing
00:23:59.700 of legitimate voices
00:24:01.020 of Canadians.
00:24:02.460 But the,
00:24:03.560 the blowback to that is
00:24:04.900 Canada is very far behind.
00:24:06.720 My only concern
00:24:07.240 is whether or not
00:24:08.160 it has entered
00:24:08.800 the proverbial event horizon
00:24:10.840 of the black hole
00:24:11.520 of communism.
00:24:12.360 And if anybody doesn't know
00:24:13.040 what the event horizon is
00:24:14.200 of a black hole,
00:24:15.540 there's a,
00:24:16.000 there's the,
00:24:16.960 there's the area
00:24:18.100 through which once
00:24:18.780 if you enter it,
00:24:19.640 you will never get out
00:24:20.400 of the,
00:24:21.000 not the orbit,
00:24:22.300 but rather the gravitational
00:24:23.340 pull of the black hole.
00:24:24.360 That's called the event horizon.
00:24:25.440 You cross that,
00:24:26.160 you never come back.
00:24:27.240 I don't know
00:24:27.600 if Canada's there yet,
00:24:28.460 but there's the pushback
00:24:30.240 that we've seen
00:24:30.780 in America right now
00:24:31.620 and not just a little bit,
00:24:32.980 a lot of it.
00:24:34.020 Like,
00:24:34.320 Trump's victory,
00:24:35.380 for those in Canada
00:24:35.980 who don't really appreciate it,
00:24:37.880 popular vote
00:24:38.740 is virtually unheard of.
00:24:40.260 He saw,
00:24:40.920 he,
00:24:41.140 he got all of the swing states,
00:24:43.000 it's a swing state sweep.
00:24:44.260 He turned counties
00:24:45.540 that were blue,
00:24:46.620 red.
00:24:47.140 He got the popular vote.
00:24:48.700 He's got the House
00:24:49.900 and he's got the Senate.
00:24:51.080 He's got the judiciary
00:24:52.100 and he's got the presidency.
00:24:54.240 And this is the type of
00:24:55.940 people-powered blowback.
00:24:58.220 You want to talk about
00:24:58.760 a people-powered movement
00:24:59.660 they called Kamala Harris' campaign
00:25:01.060 people-powered?
00:25:02.000 Bullcrap?
00:25:02.760 This is people-powered.
00:25:04.080 And this is the type of revolution
00:25:05.620 that you need to see.
00:25:06.920 I don't know that you can see it
00:25:08.300 in Canada
00:25:08.660 because the conservatives
00:25:09.860 are proving themselves
00:25:10.700 unworthy and undignified
00:25:12.380 to be the recipients
00:25:13.500 of this political blowback.
00:25:15.000 And I don't expect
00:25:15.720 Maxime Bernier and the PPC
00:25:16.980 to sweep
00:25:18.000 or, you know,
00:25:18.760 make significant gains
00:25:19.880 because I'm not sure
00:25:20.360 Canadians are ready for that yet
00:25:21.480 or if they can even get there.
00:25:22.460 But what we've seen in America
00:25:23.540 is nothing short
00:25:24.320 of a political miracle.
00:25:27.300 Well, I'm not hearing
00:25:29.040 what I should be hearing
00:25:30.180 and I would like to hear
00:25:31.100 from the Conservative Party
00:25:32.140 or Pierre Paliab
00:25:32.940 saying this is evidence
00:25:35.140 of a huge transition
00:25:37.180 in North America,
00:25:38.980 not just in the United States.
00:25:40.480 And we need to celebrate this.
00:25:42.240 They're downplaying
00:25:43.340 the Trump victory
00:25:44.100 as much as possible.
00:25:45.140 I expected that.
00:25:46.380 I expected they would not be
00:25:47.880 too celebratory.
00:25:49.040 They would not be
00:25:50.000 too enthusiastic
00:25:51.040 because we don't want to seem
00:25:53.080 like we like Donald Trump.
00:25:54.520 That's the communications attitude
00:25:56.200 from the Conservative Party
00:25:57.200 of Canada, unfortunately.
00:25:58.760 But they should be looking
00:26:00.220 at this as an opportunity.
00:26:01.760 I think I'm one of the few people,
00:26:03.400 David,
00:26:03.660 who's actually pointed out
00:26:04.680 that it's great news
00:26:05.940 for Canada
00:26:06.440 if Donald Trump
00:26:07.540 becomes president
00:26:08.880 because if only
00:26:10.600 he will re-engage
00:26:12.180 with the Keystone XL pipeline.
00:26:14.000 One of the first things
00:26:15.380 Joe Biden did
00:26:17.260 on his first day
00:26:19.020 as president,
00:26:19.520 he issued an executive order
00:26:21.020 stopping the Keystone XL.
00:26:23.700 Donald Trump
00:26:24.320 was highly critical of that.
00:26:27.000 Justin Trudeau
00:26:27.640 said virtually nothing
00:26:28.520 at the time.
00:26:29.480 But I think that
00:26:30.100 if only that's one reason
00:26:31.720 it's going to be huge news,
00:26:33.540 huge good news
00:26:34.960 for the Alberta
00:26:35.600 and the Canadian energy sector.
00:26:38.140 And it's not just going to mean
00:26:39.460 the pipeline gets finished.
00:26:41.300 It's going to mean
00:26:41.720 Canadian oil will flow south.
00:26:43.660 But nobody's talking
00:26:44.800 about that in Canada.
00:26:45.900 They're saying,
00:26:46.460 my God,
00:26:47.240 we could get a few tariffs
00:26:48.560 slapped on us
00:26:49.340 like China.
00:26:50.640 Oh my God,
00:26:51.520 it's Donald Trump again.
00:26:52.740 And I'm hearing that
00:26:53.600 from the same suspects
00:26:54.960 in the Canadian media.
00:26:56.620 And I'm not hearing
00:26:58.100 anything good
00:26:59.100 from Canadian politicians
00:27:00.420 except yes,
00:27:01.060 we can work with this man.
00:27:02.620 I think we can do better
00:27:03.400 than that.
00:27:03.860 It is.
00:27:04.480 I have my theory
00:27:05.680 that Canadians
00:27:06.880 are so dismayed
00:27:09.020 and what's the word?
00:27:09.900 Not discouraged,
00:27:10.660 but beyond that.
00:27:11.740 Despaired
00:27:12.220 by their own political reality
00:27:13.660 that they need to manufacture
00:27:15.060 a foreign boogeyman
00:27:16.200 to say,
00:27:17.100 well,
00:27:17.240 at least ours is better
00:27:18.260 by comparison.
00:27:19.400 And look at big,
00:27:20.220 bad Donald Trump.
00:27:20.940 He's such a filthy tyrant
00:27:22.140 and he's such a
00:27:23.120 Hitler-adjacent leader
00:27:24.240 that in his first four years
00:27:25.560 we had peace,
00:27:26.900 you know,
00:27:27.420 peace,
00:27:27.820 prosperity,
00:27:28.800 and set aside
00:27:29.960 the media madness
00:27:30.740 that was built around him.
00:27:31.680 It's entirely manufactured.
00:27:33.200 The world was,
00:27:34.160 whether you like it or not
00:27:35.060 and whether or not
00:27:35.420 you want to admit it,
00:27:36.120 was a better place
00:27:36.860 than it is now.
00:27:38.180 And so Canadians,
00:27:39.940 despaired by their own
00:27:40.900 political hellscape,
00:27:41.960 by their own suppression
00:27:42.840 of free speech,
00:27:43.640 by the fact that
00:27:44.300 you don't have rights
00:27:47.020 in Canada
00:27:47.520 the way you have them
00:27:48.440 in America,
00:27:49.080 you've got to create
00:27:49.740 a big boogeyman
00:27:50.460 to be even more fearful
00:27:51.760 of,
00:27:52.180 oh,
00:27:52.300 but for what we have,
00:27:53.760 it could be so much worse.
00:27:55.280 And that's the rationale.
00:27:57.060 The bottom line,
00:27:57.740 though,
00:27:58.140 Canada will be
00:27:59.460 the beneficiary
00:28:00.320 of dad coming home,
00:28:02.580 which is what we have
00:28:03.380 in America,
00:28:04.600 despite their public protests
00:28:06.640 and they can virtue signal
00:28:07.540 all they want
00:28:07.980 and say,
00:28:08.180 oh,
00:28:08.360 he's so bad,
00:28:09.020 it's going to be
00:28:09.740 hell for the 2SLGBTQIA plus
00:28:12.080 community
00:28:12.480 when it absolutely will not.
00:28:14.620 But they will be
00:28:15.100 the beneficiaries of this
00:28:16.060 whether they want
00:28:18.020 to admit it or not
00:28:18.920 and it's sort of
00:28:19.340 the most cowardly position
00:28:20.760 for them to be
00:28:21.300 in the politics of it
00:28:22.960 that Trudeau,
00:28:24.880 conservatives,
00:28:25.440 they will be
00:28:26.040 the beneficiaries.
00:28:26.980 Energy,
00:28:27.720 employment,
00:28:28.620 security,
00:28:29.660 and they get to protest
00:28:31.420 all the way,
00:28:32.200 you know,
00:28:32.440 look good to the Europeans.
00:28:33.580 But the Europeans
00:28:34.060 are already talking
00:28:34.700 about buying liquid LNG
00:28:36.740 from America,
00:28:38.040 going back to
00:28:38.840 why would we buy it
00:28:39.980 from our enemies
00:28:40.660 when we can make it at home?
00:28:42.140 Why the heck
00:28:42.740 was Joe Biden
00:28:43.320 bending over backwards
00:28:44.300 to go to Venezuela,
00:28:46.760 to go to Iran,
00:28:47.900 I'm not Iran,
00:28:49.060 Saudi Arabia,
00:28:49.860 like bending over backwards
00:28:51.340 to get oil
00:28:52.760 from adversarial
00:28:54.440 or tyrant nations
00:28:55.720 when you could be
00:28:56.200 manufacturing it at home,
00:28:57.880 creating jobs,
00:28:58.760 doing it environmentally friendly
00:29:00.040 and creating
00:29:01.460 national energy independence,
00:29:03.820 which is what they should be doing,
00:29:04.660 which is what Canada
00:29:05.180 should be doing.
00:29:05.680 So yeah,
00:29:06.820 Canada is going to be
00:29:07.340 the beneficiary
00:29:07.960 of a lot of good things
00:29:08.780 whether they like it or not.
00:29:11.440 And do you think
00:29:12.700 inevitably we're going to hear
00:29:14.260 the pure poly
00:29:15.560 of maybe within six months
00:29:17.280 or a year
00:29:17.740 say that this is
00:29:19.520 a great thing
00:29:21.680 for Canada
00:29:22.420 because Donald Trump
00:29:23.540 represents
00:29:24.380 a new,
00:29:25.560 I think,
00:29:26.160 a new birth of freedom.
00:29:27.220 We haven't seen this.
00:29:27.980 You correctly pointed out
00:29:29.260 he didn't just win
00:29:30.880 the Electoral College.
00:29:32.140 He won the popular vote.
00:29:33.980 They've won the Congress.
00:29:34.980 They've increased
00:29:35.820 their lead in the Senate.
00:29:37.220 They've won the Senate.
00:29:38.420 They have the judiciary.
00:29:39.580 Yes,
00:29:39.840 they've got the whole
00:29:40.640 ball of wax.
00:29:42.520 And Americans
00:29:43.900 really are happy
00:29:45.800 about this.
00:29:47.060 And we're not seeing
00:29:48.720 this horrible revolt,
00:29:51.880 this horrible backlash
00:29:54.180 that some of the Democratic Party
00:29:56.060 wanted to see.
00:29:56.660 I hope Pierre Polyev
00:29:58.740 can just relax
00:29:59.760 and say,
00:30:01.000 hey,
00:30:01.240 a great moment in history
00:30:02.840 has happened here.
00:30:03.900 I'll tell you,
00:30:04.460 I can predict
00:30:05.080 what Pierre Polyev
00:30:05.900 is going to do
00:30:06.380 because past his prologue,
00:30:07.940 he didn't support
00:30:08.880 the trucker protest
00:30:09.680 until it became
00:30:10.500 politically acceptable
00:30:11.520 and politically popular
00:30:12.460 to do so.
00:30:13.320 Then he did.
00:30:14.460 And then when it became
00:30:15.200 politically risky
00:30:16.060 to continue doing so
00:30:17.080 after that Rouleau commission,
00:30:19.340 he sort of shifted
00:30:20.240 his support.
00:30:20.820 Oh,
00:30:20.920 I wasn't supporting
00:30:21.700 the trucker protest.
00:30:22.940 I was supporting
00:30:23.480 the inflation protest.
00:30:24.760 So what Polyev is going to do,
00:30:26.540 he's going to wait
00:30:27.200 until Canada starts
00:30:29.240 becoming the beneficiary
00:30:30.900 of the fruits
00:30:32.020 of a Trump presidency
00:30:32.980 when people aren't,
00:30:34.560 you know,
00:30:34.800 being rounded up
00:30:35.840 in trains
00:30:36.300 like everybody's
00:30:36.960 fear-mongering.
00:30:38.480 And then he's going to say,
00:30:39.500 yeah,
00:30:39.640 look at this,
00:30:40.140 it's a good thing
00:30:40.780 and, you know,
00:30:41.260 now I'm on the side
00:30:41.900 of the people.
00:30:42.440 I'm a populist again.
00:30:43.980 He's going to wait
00:30:44.600 until he's got
00:30:45.080 the political cover
00:30:45.760 to do it
00:30:46.100 because that's what he does.
00:30:46.980 He's a fair-weather politician
00:30:48.100 and it's not the best,
00:30:50.460 it's not a good type
00:30:51.340 of politician to be
00:30:52.440 but at least it's predictable
00:30:53.500 and you know
00:30:54.420 that he's susceptible
00:30:55.160 to public opinion
00:30:55.920 but he will wait
00:30:56.720 until the fruits
00:30:57.880 of a Trump presidency
00:30:58.640 start to bear
00:30:59.360 and it becomes politically
00:31:01.160 not profitable
00:31:03.320 but protected
00:31:04.600 to now come out
00:31:05.540 and say,
00:31:05.800 yeah,
00:31:05.920 look at that,
00:31:06.660 congratulations
00:31:07.160 and we can work with you
00:31:08.180 but he's got to get there
00:31:09.460 and we've got to get through
00:31:10.520 a transition period
00:31:11.780 and we've got to get through
00:31:13.140 the backlash
00:31:15.100 to the backlash
00:31:15.900 where people are going to realize,
00:31:16.920 oh yeah,
00:31:17.220 we've been exaggerating
00:31:18.100 about everything.
00:31:19.080 Trump presidency
00:31:19.600 is actually good
00:31:21.060 for the world now
00:31:21.920 and he hasn't even
00:31:22.580 taken office,
00:31:23.720 then Poiliev
00:31:24.620 is going to jump on board
00:31:25.520 and say,
00:31:26.000 I was always on this side.
00:31:28.240 Well,
00:31:28.640 I'll get you out of here
00:31:29.780 in this one,
00:31:30.900 David.
00:31:32.460 Justin Trudeau,
00:31:33.320 I don't know how much longer
00:31:34.140 he has,
00:31:35.280 you know,
00:31:35.480 we've been debating this now
00:31:36.580 for the last four months,
00:31:37.620 can he survive
00:31:38.320 as liberal leader?
00:31:39.520 Not for much longer,
00:31:40.580 obviously.
00:31:41.380 Will he survive
00:31:42.060 until the next election?
00:31:43.200 I don't know,
00:31:43.800 we might have a next election
00:31:44.960 before October
00:31:45.720 but I guess one thing
00:31:47.020 we do know now,
00:31:47.840 if Donald Trump
00:31:48.780 becomes president
00:31:49.660 on January 20th,
00:31:51.680 Justin Trudeau
00:31:52.280 doesn't matter anymore
00:31:53.760 in terms of foreign policy.
00:31:55.700 Justin Trudeau
00:31:56.120 can talk about
00:31:56.920 staying with Ukraine
00:31:57.880 until the end of time,
00:31:59.220 keeping the war going.
00:32:01.100 Justin Trudeau
00:32:01.660 can talk about
00:32:02.500 putting caps
00:32:03.200 on Canadian energy.
00:32:05.040 Justin Trudeau
00:32:05.440 can talk about
00:32:06.000 a lot of things
00:32:06.540 but he's essentially
00:32:07.140 lost control of this
00:32:08.240 because Donald Trump
00:32:09.140 is now the president,
00:32:10.480 will be the president
00:32:11.540 of the United States.
00:32:13.160 There's,
00:32:13.720 we had a vacuum
00:32:14.460 in the presidency
00:32:15.460 for the last four years,
00:32:16.680 we had advisors
00:32:17.480 running the government,
00:32:19.000 we had a president
00:32:19.840 who was not there.
00:32:21.380 This president's
00:32:22.020 very much there.
00:32:22.920 This president knows
00:32:23.780 what he wants,
00:32:24.700 he has a clear agenda
00:32:25.780 and every day
00:32:26.640 he's out there
00:32:27.280 in social media
00:32:28.040 talking about
00:32:28.760 what he wants to do.
00:32:30.460 So,
00:32:30.920 is this another nail
00:32:32.440 in the coffin
00:32:33.000 of Justin Trudeau's
00:32:34.740 political legacy?
00:32:37.140 I'm convinced
00:32:37.920 Justin Trudeau is done,
00:32:39.320 he just doesn't
00:32:40.340 necessarily know it yet.
00:32:42.440 But no,
00:32:42.780 I don't know
00:32:43.400 how long he survives,
00:32:44.480 I don't know
00:32:44.740 when they call
00:32:45.180 the election.
00:32:45.700 I understand
00:32:46.320 there's some dirty
00:32:47.400 underhanded play
00:32:48.340 to call the election
00:32:49.600 but only after
00:32:50.220 some members
00:32:50.760 of parliament
00:32:51.180 have secured
00:32:51.720 their federal pension.
00:32:53.280 Scum of the earth
00:32:54.520 and I'm being polite
00:32:55.320 because it's your show.
00:32:57.220 No,
00:32:57.460 you're 100% right.
00:32:58.720 But first of all,
00:32:59.860 Trudeau is not,
00:33:01.080 I believe he's not
00:33:02.080 irrelevant now
00:33:02.700 because he's a liability.
00:33:04.160 He would be lucky
00:33:05.280 to be irrelevant.
00:33:06.200 He's a liability.
00:33:07.320 And when Trump comes in
00:33:08.320 and brings back
00:33:09.900 domestic energy production,
00:33:12.720 Trudeau is going to have
00:33:14.040 his hand forced
00:33:14.880 into doing it
00:33:15.480 because it's one thing
00:33:16.480 to do it
00:33:17.980 at a North American scale
00:33:19.840 when you have Biden
00:33:20.800 playing by the same
00:33:22.000 broken game plan.
00:33:24.960 But he's going to sit there
00:33:26.800 and watch America
00:33:27.860 start flourishing,
00:33:30.240 become energy independent
00:33:31.140 and they're not going to do it
00:33:32.140 and they're not going to,
00:33:32.800 they're going to deny Canadians
00:33:33.880 the employment
00:33:35.100 and the benefits
00:33:35.860 that come with that.
00:33:36.660 So he'll have his hand forced.
00:33:38.560 He is,
00:33:39.220 I believe,
00:33:40.320 even after an election,
00:33:41.420 he will not be the leader
00:33:42.140 of the Liberals.
00:33:42.700 I hope that they get
00:33:43.320 their asses handed to them
00:33:44.900 in the next election,
00:33:45.900 but I don't know
00:33:46.680 who they're going to do them for.
00:33:47.860 Like the NDP is just as bad,
00:33:49.740 if not worse.
00:33:50.600 And the Conservatives
00:33:51.580 are proving themselves
00:33:52.180 to be just as bad
00:33:53.580 but a couple of years behind.
00:33:54.840 No, but you're right.
00:33:55.460 He's irrelevant.
00:33:57.120 He's been irrelevant
00:33:57.740 for a long time,
00:33:58.920 but at this point,
00:33:59.700 he's still sort of
00:34:00.220 a liability irrelevant.
00:34:01.800 He'll become utterly irrelevant
00:34:02.900 sooner than later
00:34:03.480 and they'll find a new leader
00:34:04.380 for that party.
00:34:05.940 Yeah, I think you're
00:34:07.020 100% correct there, David.
00:34:08.640 David, thank you so much
00:34:09.780 for joining me today
00:34:10.520 and to talk about
00:34:11.120 these two really vital areas
00:34:12.720 and let's keep talking
00:34:13.920 about disinformation
00:34:15.060 and misinformation,
00:34:16.040 how it's going to be used
00:34:17.140 to keep people silent
00:34:18.940 because that's all
00:34:19.800 it's ever about.
00:34:20.980 David, keep watching.
00:34:22.620 They're trying to do it now.
00:34:24.060 Like, they,
00:34:24.980 I gave an interview
00:34:25.800 on RT yesterday.
00:34:26.780 I want to clip it
00:34:27.640 and I want to publish it
00:34:28.380 because what they want to do,
00:34:30.000 unpaid interview,
00:34:31.420 but what they want to do
00:34:32.280 is tell you
00:34:32.840 who you can talk to
00:34:33.680 and they can go bugger off.
00:34:36.120 I mean,
00:34:36.460 Lauren Chen,
00:34:37.340 I know that this is not
00:34:38.000 the publicity
00:34:38.480 that she ever wanted,
00:34:39.960 but they're using her
00:34:40.980 to basically scare everybody
00:34:43.100 into total ideological submission
00:34:44.900 and we cannot stand for that
00:34:46.600 and even if you think
00:34:47.800 she shouldn't be,
00:34:48.720 nobody should be taking money
00:34:49.560 from foreign entities,
00:34:50.540 give me a break.
00:34:51.120 The New York Times
00:34:51.700 is owned by a foreign entity.
00:34:53.580 So even if you believe that,
00:34:55.080 at some point,
00:34:55.500 you have to understand
00:34:56.080 this doesn't end
00:34:57.260 with the Lauren Chens
00:34:58.080 of the world.
00:34:58.700 It ends with each
00:34:59.440 and every one of you
00:35:00.280 and your ability
00:35:01.060 to think and speak freely.
00:35:04.520 Exactly.
00:35:04.920 Folks,
00:35:07.140 watch David's show,
00:35:08.800 Viva Frye.
00:35:09.760 I'm sure you already do.
00:35:11.200 That's what got me interested
00:35:13.100 in doing a YouTube station,
00:35:14.680 watching David do his work.
00:35:16.480 I think it's invaluable.
00:35:17.940 Wherever you're stationed,
00:35:19.120 you're doing fantastic work
00:35:20.540 for freedom,
00:35:21.920 whether it's in Canada
00:35:22.960 or whether it's in the United States.
00:35:24.100 This is work for freedom.
00:35:25.160 Thanks for doing what you do, David,
00:35:27.360 and come back again anytime.
00:35:30.440 And if you ever want me
00:35:31.500 to guest on your show,
00:35:32.540 I'd be happy to do.
00:35:33.340 So I love the work you do.
00:35:34.560 We're doing that sooner than later
00:35:35.440 because you've got to give us
00:35:36.520 the breakdown about
00:35:37.160 the Chinese-Indian infiltration scandal.
00:35:40.580 I know of it,
00:35:41.600 but I need the details.
00:35:43.400 Okay.
00:35:44.440 Thanks, everybody,
00:35:45.200 for watching today.
00:35:46.780 My guest was Viva Frye.
00:35:48.240 We'll be back again tomorrow
00:35:49.220 with all the news
00:35:50.060 you need to know
00:35:50.820 and continue to resolve
00:35:52.740 to resist tyranny
00:35:53.900 wherever you see it.
00:35:55.500 Thank you for today.
