00:00:00.000 Well, welcome back to another episode of Stand on Guard.
00:00:04.040 This is a take five.
00:00:05.780 Just got back from the courtroom again.
00:00:08.740 And this was day two of the Freedom Trial, as I'm calling it.
00:00:13.840 The Freedom Convoy Trial of Tamara Leach and Chris Barber,
00:00:19.180 both of whom I've known since the Freedom Convoy.
00:00:23.020 And I've gotten to know them very well over the last year and a half.
00:00:26.980 And it's been exactly a year and a half since those cold February days
00:00:30.400 when we were all out there watching history unfold
00:00:35.380 and watching a bunch of truckers and their supporters
00:00:39.880 roll back the COVID-19 mandates
00:00:44.460 and stand up against the authoritarian government of Justin Trudeau,
00:00:49.340 who dismissed them all as a bunch of racists and misogynists.
00:00:53.700 You remember that?
00:00:54.920 Had the nerve.
00:00:55.860 Wouldn't meet with them.
00:00:57.700 Wouldn't even say hello.
00:01:00.180 He left town, ran for cover.
00:01:04.340 But before he did so, he dismissed them and insulted them all,
00:01:08.160 as he is apt to do with all of his political opponents.
00:01:11.900 He is a craven politician, a coward.
00:01:15.860 So what's happening in the trial?
00:01:17.380 Well, it was low-key today, very low-key.
00:01:20.140 But I'm optimistic, and I'll tell you why.
00:01:23.760 And I'll tell you why Justin Trudeau has a reason to cry.
00:01:27.360 Because all of this trumped-up charge,
00:01:35.300 all of these trumped-up charges,
00:01:37.460 all of this nonsense that's being leveled against Tamara Leach
00:01:42.500 and Chris Barber, might actually come to nothing.
00:01:47.400 Because I tell you, the judge really isn't buying into it.
00:01:52.020 The prosecution today had a witness, an inspector,
00:01:58.080 Lucas, was on the stand today,
00:02:01.080 talking about the emergency response by the police.
00:02:07.140 They asked him to read an email from another police officer.
00:02:12.900 And the judge intervened, and she said,
00:02:14.640 hey, he didn't write that.
00:02:16.280 Why are you asking him to read that email?
00:02:21.300 It's not pertinent.
00:02:23.760 It's not relevant.
00:02:24.760 So the judge shut that down.
00:02:28.080 And I think the defense scored some really important points
00:02:33.480 with this same witness today.
00:02:35.940 And that's extremely important.
00:02:38.400 Extremely important.
00:02:39.940 Because I really believe truth is going to prevail in this trial.
00:02:47.060 Thank God it will.
00:02:48.980 Because you think of the nightmare these two have been through,
00:02:52.040 especially Tamara.
00:02:52.800 She went through being in prison without bail on two occasions,
00:02:58.760 once for 30 days,
00:03:00.600 not knowing what was going to happen to her,
00:03:03.540 being treated like a common criminal,
00:03:07.500 and perhaps worse than our system actually treats common criminals.
00:03:13.240 They tend to coddle criminals.
00:03:17.280 But a grandmother like Tamara Leach,
00:03:19.880 who has never been in trouble with the law before,
00:03:22.800 decided to peacefully protest COVID-19 mandates
00:03:30.600 that forced her and everyone to get the vaccine
00:03:35.820 if they really wanted to live in our society and work.
00:03:39.660 That's what it really came down to.
00:03:44.460 And they stood up to this all-powerful federal government.
00:03:49.140 The all-powerful federal government came back on them,
00:03:51.860 came back on everyone
00:03:53.300 who was supporting this Freedom Convoy.
00:03:58.040 They froze with their bank accounts.
00:04:00.320 That's like something out of a third world dictatorship.
00:04:03.440 But that's what the Trudeau government did.
00:04:07.120 That's what Chrystia Freeland,
00:04:08.680 our finance minister and deputy prime minister,
00:04:11.240 that's what she did.
00:04:13.740 And she thought that was perfectly acceptable.
00:04:16.780 And she called that an incentive,
00:04:19.540 an incentive
00:04:20.480 to obey
00:04:22.980 the dictates of the federal government,
00:04:27.280 of the Trudeau government.
00:04:30.780 So I'm optimistic so far.
00:04:32.380 I'm going to be there
00:04:33.300 in one form or another
00:04:35.560 until this trial is over.
00:04:37.940 And I'm going to be reporting on it.
00:04:39.900 I hope you read my piece
00:04:41.000 in the Post-Millennial yesterday.
00:04:42.960 And today,
00:04:43.520 I'm reporting for the Post-Millennial.
00:04:45.960 I wrote a great column for Human Events.
00:04:48.020 And I called Tamara Leach,
00:04:50.420 a courageous woman
00:04:51.740 for doing what she's done,
00:04:53.480 putting up with what she's put up with.
00:04:55.060 And she's back for more.
00:04:57.600 But I tell you,
00:04:58.440 I talked to her yesterday
00:04:59.460 and she's optimistic.
00:05:00.940 And her spirits are high.
00:05:04.380 And she's ready.
00:05:06.600 She's ready for this trial.
00:05:09.160 And I tell you,
00:05:10.100 I think all of Canada
00:05:11.400 is ready for this trial.
00:05:12.760 I call it the Freedom Trial
00:05:14.080 because our freedom is on trial.
00:05:16.760 Our freedom is Canadians.
00:05:19.480 Our freedom of speech.
00:05:20.980 Our freedom of expression.
00:05:22.380 Our freedom to protest peacefully.
00:05:24.580 That's what's on trial here.
00:05:27.480 And for the Trudeau government
00:05:28.740 to insist it's not about politics
00:05:31.260 is laughable.
00:05:34.340 And it's BS.
00:05:36.700 And it's what we expect
00:05:38.180 from Justin Trudeau.
00:05:39.700 So keep on watching.
00:05:41.420 I'm going to be back every day
00:05:42.520 to talk about this
00:05:43.480 because I think this is
00:05:45.640 one of the most important
00:05:46.680 moments in Canadian history.
00:05:48.220 This is the moment
00:05:49.020 when the Liberal government
00:05:50.200 put dissidents,
00:05:51.440 political dissidents,
00:05:52.400 on trial
00:05:52.900 for their political beliefs
00:05:54.880 and nothing else.
00:05:57.780 Nothing else.
00:06:01.220 So please
00:06:02.280 keep on watching
00:06:05.220 and keep on
00:06:06.840 waiting
00:06:09.420 to see what happens here.
00:06:10.700 but I tell you
00:06:11.920 truth will emerge
00:06:16.300 as the victor.
00:06:19.620 God bless you all
00:06:20.680 and thanks for watching today.
00:06:22.020 We'll be back again tomorrow.
