00:00:00.000 Hey, everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:00:02.000 We monitor what's happening in Canada straight from the front lines with Viva Fry.
00:00:06.000 Also, do we have to make the case against pedophilia?
00:00:09.000 Unfortunately, yes.
00:00:10.000 And professors are teaching their students that pedophilia is okay.
00:00:14.000 It's hard to even believe that's a thing we have to talk about.

00:00:41.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
00:00:43.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:47.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:50.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:51.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:52.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:01.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:09.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:17.000 Go to andrewandtodd.com, the wonderfulandrewandtodd.com.
00:01:24.000 Okay, I got a lot of different stories I want to get to.
00:01:26.000 First, I just want to get to this question: has modernity made us better people?
00:01:33.000 We have a lot of technology at our disposal.
00:01:35.000 It's no mystery.
00:01:37.000 Does it make us more likely to have sympathy for one another?
00:01:42.000 Compassion?
00:01:43.000 What moral construct are we using to make decisions?
00:01:49.000 Almost all decisions are moral decisions, regardless of what the judge nominate, judicial nominee that Biden put up, that Ted Cruz asked the other day.
00:02:00.000 So, under what form of morality is this acceptable?
00:02:07.000 Hospitals in Germany and the United Kingdom and Israel refuse life-saving transplant to three-year-old because his parents were unvaccinated.
00:02:16.000 The Politico EU reports that a three-year-old boy from Cyprus was denied a heart transplant by a hospital in Germany because his parents were not fully vaccinated.
00:02:28.000 And it wasn't just Germany.
00:02:30.000 The boy was turned away by hospitals in the United Kingdom and in Israel for the same reason.
00:02:36.000 Finally, a Greek hospital was found to do the transplant, and we think the boy is going to live.
00:02:44.000 The Cyprus Health Ministry had made the arrangements for the boy to be treated in Germany, but it was left scrambling after the hospital advised that it wouldn't accept the patient because his parents had not been fully vaccinated.
00:02:55.000 So, potentially allowing children to die because you don't take the medicine we want you to take, even though that medicine's not working.
00:03:02.000 It's a leaky vaccine with numerous adverse events.
00:03:07.000 Even though the boy's parents were quickly given their first dose in an effort to save their son's life, they were informed that it didn't matter because it would take six weeks for them to become fully vaccinated.
00:03:16.000 This is the most extraordinary part of the story: these parents are like, okay, fine, we'll put our life in jeopardy to save our child's life.
00:03:23.000 Sacrificial.
00:03:25.000 I will sacrifice my life for my kid, unlike what our society has done.
00:03:29.000 They've done the opposite, where we've sacrificed our kids' life for parents' lives, which is what the lockdowns are all about and what this whole COVID policy has been about.
00:03:38.000 But then the Europeans said, Oh, no, it doesn't matter.
00:03:40.000 You have to wait another six weeks to get fully vaccinated.
00:03:45.000 Cyprus wouldn't take no for an answer and asked if the child could be accompanied by a guardian.
00:03:50.000 They said no.
00:03:52.000 The European Commission confirmed a Politico that there are no policies in place in the EU that prevent a child from receiving a life-saving operation for this reason.
00:04:02.000 Health policies, including vaccination policies and their concrete implementation, are the responsibility of the member states, not the Commission.
00:04:10.000 The boy's father said, I know that unvaccinated patients are admitted to hospitals in Germany.
00:04:15.000 I didn't know that I had to be vaccinated for my child to be operated in on that hospital.
00:04:22.000 Thankfully, after all of this hysteria and media backlash, the boy has finally received treatment.
00:04:29.000 So, let me get this straight.
00:04:32.000 We are going to try and allow a three-year-old to die in the name of public health.
00:04:42.000 To try to protect public health, we let a three-year-old die.
00:04:47.000 Thankfully, the three-year-old did not die.
00:04:49.000 Thankfully, it seems like finally got the medical treatment that they needed after he did multiple stops all across Europe just to try to get life-saving medical treatment.
00:05:01.000 Very similar stories are happening in America, by the way.
00:05:06.000 And we have some new whistleblowers out.
00:05:08.000 Louisiana Department of Health whistleblower claims that COVID cases have been inflated for profit.
00:05:13.000 Play Cut 59.
00:05:15.000 My name is Jean Sag.
00:05:17.000 I am a nurse with, or was a nurse, with United Healthcare, a community and state plan of Louisiana.
00:05:24.000 When did you first notice this trend?
00:05:26.000 I would say it's around June or July.
00:05:29.000 I started seeing some cases which should not have been COVID, in my opinion.
00:05:35.000 Play Cut 60, the whistleblower continues.
00:05:37.000 This is from Project Veritas, our great friend James O'Keefe, PlayCut 60.
00:05:41.000 I've had a couple where it was like scheduled vaginal deliveries or car wrecks. 0.82
00:05:48.000 That wasn't their reason for going to the hospital.
00:05:50.000 The only way they're going to show up on my census is if COVID is their primary diagnosis.
00:05:55.000 I don't want to say it's fraud and abuse, but I mean, should I be reporting stuff like that or just letting it go?
00:06:02.000 And I thought that they got reimbursed at Medicare rate instead of Medicaid rate.
00:06:07.000 Thank you.
00:06:10.000 I mean, Medicare rate would be significantly higher than Medicaid rate.
00:06:14.000 Yeah.
00:06:15.000 So they are incentivized to inflate COVID deaths.
00:06:19.000 Dr. Robert Malone says the higher the number of vaccinations, the higher the rate of infection.
00:06:23.000 So Israel is on their fourth round of boosters.
00:06:26.000 And if we had the chart, I'd show it to you.
00:06:28.000 They've flattened the curve straight up.
00:06:31.000 The more they vaccinated, the more virus, the more positive virus rates they are having come through.
00:06:41.000 And what we're seeing at an increasing rate is adverse events associated with these things.
00:06:48.000 And it's so fascinating to me because at certain places, vaccine mandates, they're actually backing down on them.
00:06:58.000 They are quickly backing down on them because you're seeing in the Scandinavian countries a total retreat from these COVID mandates.
00:07:09.000 And America should have always led the way in the pursuit of liberty and bodily autonomy and freedom.
00:07:15.000 We did not.
00:07:17.000 Sweden has lifted nearly all COVID-19 restrictions.
00:07:21.000 We can open up society, Sweden has said.
00:07:23.000 In a press conference on Thursday morning, the Swedish government announced plans to remove the majority of restrictions against COVID-19.
00:07:30.000 Have you noticed how the American media has almost censored all international handlings of COVID from Uttar Pradesh to the failings of Israel to the failings of Singapore to the failings of Gibraltar to Sweden fully and totally opening up?
00:07:42.000 The pandemic is not over, but it's entering a new phase, said the Swedish health minister.
00:07:46.000 We are not, we are nearing the point for Sweden to open up again.
00:07:50.000 The following restrictions will be moved next week.
00:07:53.000 Indoor events will happen, vaccination passes will be removed, restaurants, curfews will be removed.
00:08:00.000 Basically, all COVID restrictions will be lifted.
00:08:04.000 And now, I will say this: that spending the last couple days in California, technically, they have mask mandates, and I wasn't being cute or defiant.
00:08:13.000 I just didn't have a mask and I didn't feel like wearing one.
00:08:16.000 No one stopped me anywhere.
00:08:19.000 Everyone else is wearing masks.
00:08:20.000 The local hotel I was at, local restaurant I was at. 0.95
00:08:23.000 And again, I wasn't trying to be a jerk or anything. 0.88
00:08:25.000 I just didn't want to wear one. 0.97
00:08:26.000 If someone came up to me, I was like, All right, fine, give me a mask, whatever.
00:08:29.000 No one stopped me at all.
00:08:32.000 Producer Andrew claims he didn't wear a mask in the airport yesterday.
00:08:35.000 It's good.
00:08:36.000 Now, now that they got you.
00:08:39.000 And some private good news: someone who's been really struggling with COVID, who is close to us and was getting really bad advice from doctors.
00:08:49.000 Again, I'm not giving you medical advice.
00:08:51.000 Always go through people that know what they're doing.
00:08:53.000 But thankfully, we connected them with the A-team.
00:08:56.000 After two weeks of long COVID, he took some ivermectin.
00:09:00.000 He has turned the corner.
00:09:02.000 Praise God.
00:09:04.000 We have so many stories like that.
00:09:05.000 One after the other, after the other.
00:09:10.000 By now, you've all heard me talk about MyPillow, and now Mike has done it again with his My Slippers.
00:09:15.000 Mike has taken over two years to develop.
00:09:18.000 They're designed to wear indoor and outdoor all day long and made with MyPillow foam and impact gel to help prevent fatigue.
00:09:24.000 Made with quality leather suede.
00:09:27.000 For a limited time, Mike is offering 50% off his MySlippers.
00:09:30.000 The MySlippers are so comfortable that you'll want to get some for the whole family.

00:10:01.000 God bless you guys.
00:10:05.000 Let's get to this story here.
00:10:08.000 I don't like covering these stories.
00:10:09.000 They're super dark and it's just hard to believe. 1.00
00:10:12.000 I would not be covering this story if it was just some guy on the side of the street, some deranged idiot that was saying this sort of stuff. 0.98
00:10:19.000 But when professors start to say the things that are so outrageous, the people that you pay for through your taxpayer dollars or through your tuition dollars, or you send your children to college, you have a right to know and you have a right to publicize this. 0.98
00:10:34.000 So, morality is one of the most important topics we've been talking about.
00:10:39.000 The protection of children is a Judeo-Christian idea that children must be protected, nurtured, and not taken advantage of.
00:10:51.000 I don't think I have to spend an entire podcast on why that is the case.
00:10:55.000 That would be what we call self-evident.
00:10:59.000 But modernity that we are living through, the era of subjectivity, the death of reason, with also the death of revelation, would all of a sudden allow people to start to question norms that otherwise would be considered common sense.
00:11:15.000 So it starts with, yeah, I mean, why can't a man marry a man? 0.85
00:11:20.000 Okay.
00:11:22.000 Why can't a man become a woman? 1.00
00:11:24.000 Now, for years, people like Dennis Prager and others who were advocates for traditional marriage said, if it's just about love, what will be the argument against pedophilia?
00:11:38.000 And we were, people like Prager and others, he wasn't alone.
00:11:41.000 Was an argument that James Dobson made and many others were totally cast aside and said, That is not ever going to happen.
00:11:50.000 So, this person's a professor at the State University of New York.
00:11:54.000 And he says that an adult wanting to have sex with a kid is accepted as being wrong, but the professor says it's not obvious to me that it is in fact wrong.
00:12:05.000 This is not the first professor in recent weeks who has been trying to move the Overton window from things that are unthinkable to radical, to contested, to popular, to acceptable, to popular, to policy.
00:12:21.000 The Overton window, one of the most important ways to view all political ideas.
00:12:26.000 Play cut 45. 0.99
00:12:28.000 Imagine that an adult male wants to have sex with a 12-year-old girl. 0.98
00:12:33.000 Imagine that she's a willing participant. 0.67
00:12:36.000 A very standard, very widely held view that there's something deeply wrong about this, and it's wrong independent of it being criminalized.
00:12:43.000 It's not obvious to me that is, in fact, wrong.
00:12:45.000 I think this is a mistake.
00:12:47.000 And I think that exploring why it's a mistake will tell us not only things about adult child sex and statutory rape, but also about fundamental principles of morality.
00:12:58.000 It's not obvious to me that adult child sex is wrong.
00:13:02.000 Why shouldn't children be taken advantage of? 0.88
00:13:04.000 So, what is the moral principle?
00:13:07.000 Why should children be protected outside of the obvious self-evident?
00:13:11.000 How about this?
00:13:12.000 The weak should not be preyed on by the strong.
00:13:16.000 That's a pretty simple moral claim.
00:13:18.000 That a six-year-old is too naive, too young, to quite understand what exactly that encounter would do.
00:13:28.000 Not to mention the obvious psychological damage and the sickness that would come with such an activity.
00:13:34.000 Do I have to explain this?
00:13:35.000 Yes, you do, actually.
00:13:37.000 This is who's teaching your children.
00:13:40.000 Play cut 56.
00:13:42.000 Listen, you're talking to a guy who for 25 years has been making arguments more or less in defense of adult child sex in classrooms.
00:13:55.000 I don't know if it's the same argument as yours, but I even authored a piece in The Daily Beast in which I called into question the age of consent laws.
00:14:03.000 So, that person is the name Thaddeus Russell.
00:14:07.000 Is that right?
00:14:08.000 So, he published an article in The Daily Beast.
00:14:11.000 And this is his own admission.
00:14:12.000 This is not like some sort of investigative journalist.
00:14:14.000 Can you find that piece in The Daily Beast?
00:14:15.000 Where he says, Look, we're open about changing adult child sex laws.
00:14:20.000 If this shocks you, you're not paying attention. 0.99
00:14:23.000 With all possible due respect, if you're sending your child to college, you're sending them towards this garbage. 0.98
00:14:30.000 You wonder why the country's falling apart? 0.99
00:14:32.000 You have outward advocates of pedophilia that are teaching your children at colleges.
00:14:38.000 As you know, going online without ExpressVPN is like leaving your kids with the nearest stranger while using the restroom.

00:15:36.000 He's on the front lines for the fight for freedom, and his videos are extraordinary and are going viral.
00:15:42.000 I have great respect for this neighbor to the north, Viva Fry, as he is known on YouTube.
00:15:48.000 He's terrific.
00:15:49.000 Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:15:50.000 Thank you very much for having me.
00:15:52.000 It's an interesting turn of events that, you know, I'm two hours from Ottawa, and it seems that there's not very many people, although there are a few just on the street documenting in real time.
00:16:03.000 So that although the media might try to distort, history at least can document.
00:16:08.000 So the way that I kind of get my hour-by-hour analysis of what's happening in Ottawa is two ways.
00:16:15.000 All of your amazing content.
00:16:17.000 And then also I go to Apple Maps and I just look at the traffic in Ottawa.
00:16:21.000 I'm like, oh, yep, the streets are still blocked.
00:16:23.000 It's still happening.
00:16:24.000 Tell us, you've been on the ground.
00:16:26.000 What's it like in Ottawa?
00:16:28.000 The truckers are still there.
00:16:29.000 Walk us through it.
00:16:31.000 So I live in Montreal.
00:16:33.000 It's 200 kilometers from Ottawa.
00:16:35.000 I drove in and out on Monday and in and out yesterday.
00:16:39.000 There's another guy doing some walks on the street called Auto Walks, like the city with walks at the end, except there's no commentary there.
00:16:45.000 I've been going around.
00:16:46.000 Look, I see what they're saying on the news. 0.96
00:16:48.000 CBC, the blue check mark politicians on Twitter calling it a racist, xenophobic, anti-Semitic, anti-black, racist, transphobic. 0.65
00:16:59.000 This is coming from Justin Trudeau himself and his Twitter feed.
00:17:02.000 And I'm saying, I've got to go see this for myself.
00:17:04.000 All that I'm hearing is that it's literally a winter of love in the actual sense, not like the summer of love sense in Portland.
00:17:13.000 So I drove down.
00:17:14.000 The media makes hay of two images, one of which a guy's carrying a swastika flag for whatever the reason.
00:17:22.000 The only guy in the entire crowd wearing a full bank robbery ski mask with sunglasses so you can't see anything.
00:17:28.000 The only guy doing that was asked to leave, but the media makes hay as though that is reflective or represents the entire convoy.
00:17:35.000 Another individual carrying a Confederate flag with a truck on it, all both brand new flags, by the way, who happens to have a reporter three feet from him to snap pictures. 0.93
00:17:45.000 And this allows these politicians, they are pathological liars of politicians to take to Twitter, to take to parliament, to say that this is an anti-Semitic, racist, hateful convoy.
00:17:58.000 I saw nothing but love in my 10 plus hours live streaming in real time. 0.95
00:18:03.000 So even if I captured something that was unfavorable, no editing, no nothing.
00:18:08.000 And I'm just, I'm flabbergasted by the lies that the media puts out there and the actual, the actual reality.
00:18:15.000 I'm just, it's like movie, except if you saw this in a movie like the Truman Show, you just wouldn't believe it.
00:18:22.000 And it's an international phenomenon now in Canada.
00:18:25.000 So there's a couple of questions I have.
00:18:26.000 The first of which is: Canadians by kind of a disposition are very agreeable, very nice, very pleasant.
00:18:33.000 This sort of behavior is kind of unusual, you know, to be like openly rebellious and they've been pushed too far.
00:18:41.000 Talk a little bit about that.
00:18:42.000 And also, do you think the people of Canada are largely behind what the truckers are trying to do here?
00:18:48.000 Okay, so the first part, the stereotype of the polite Canadian saying sorry, and by and large, I wouldn't say polite, I might say prone to subservience or prone to deference to authority, where the U.S., and I will say for good, but some will say for good or for bad, is the Wild West.
00:19:07.000 You know, its history was built on defying authority.
00:19:10.000 Ours was built on being a subject to authority.
00:19:13.000 Now, I don't know how that plays out exactly because maybe it's because I'm second generation Canadian that I don't have that historical baggage and I'm a little more oppositional by nature.
00:19:22.000 But even this protest, itself a protest of what we feel to be government tyranny, is the most peaceful, beautiful protest, the most polite protest you've ever seen.
00:19:33.000 I walked the streets literally looking for things to complain about that the media would run with.
00:19:38.000 I saw one act of vandalism, which was paint that said freedom convoy on a on a pillar in front of parliament.
00:19:45.000 The protesters are literally putting their garbage in garbage bags.
00:19:49.000 They're literally shoveling the sidewalks to keep them clear because the city couldn't do it.
00:19:54.000 The media ran with this narrative that the convoy was defecating or urinating on war monuments, defaced the Terry Fox monument.
00:20:03.000 Everybody knows who Terry Fox is.
00:20:05.000 The defacing of the Terry Fox monument consisted of putting a flag in his hand and a banner on his chest that said freedom.
00:20:11.000 And when I got there, that wasn't there, but there were flowers in his hand and flowers on the monument.
00:20:17.000 It's the most polite opposition to government tyranny you could possibly imagine.
00:20:22.000 There were groups of indigenous peoples doing a prayer dance in Confederate Park.
00:20:27.000 I met people of all walks of life, all genders, all gender identities, all races, all religions.
00:20:34.000 And somehow, people are running with the idea that this is an extremist, violent, anti-Semitic, racist, whatever is you want to add, convoy.
00:20:44.000 It couldn't be further from the truth.
00:20:46.000 And look, a little optimism.
00:20:49.000 I know a few people in my immediate circle who now realize they say that they cannot believe the lies versus the reality.
00:20:55.000 What was the second part of the question?
00:20:57.000 Well, are Canadians behind this? 0.97
00:20:59.000 Oh, do you think public opinion?
00:21:02.000 So this is a tough one to answer because I may be living in my own silo where I think everyone's gung-ho.
00:21:08.000 I've seen in my milieu some people say, oh, they shouldn't protest.
00:21:12.000 Just, you know, do what the government says, leave, stop obstructing.
00:21:15.000 The people I met on the street in Ottawa said, first of all, it's not that much of a disruption pretty much for anybody except perhaps the people who live there and hear the horns honking.
00:21:24.000 Even then, you go three blocks down from the convoy, you don't really hear much honking.
00:21:29.000 My impression, this is only my impression, but it's the impression I get from actually having spoken to the police officers on site.
00:21:37.000 You get that sort of wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
00:21:39.000 We're behind you, but we're just here to, because we're told to.
00:21:43.000 When I asked the police officers, any acts of violence, any acts of destruction, anything that you find over the top egregious, they said no.
00:21:50.000 They've actually been quite nice.
00:21:52.000 So I get the impression even the police are behind this, but I have met very few people who are actively against it and more and more who are turning for it.
00:22:04.000 And just for our American listeners, Terry Fox was kind of like a Forrest Gump type figure.
00:22:08.000 Forrest Gump was a Terry Fox figure.
00:22:09.000 He ran coast to coast to raise money for cancer research.
00:22:12.000 Well, just to know what he thinks, he wasn't on Forrest Gump in intellectual capacity.
00:22:16.000 He was diagnosed with terminal cancer and then decided to just run, raise.
00:22:21.000 The Terry Fox movement, some people who were alive then are comparing this to that in terms of the international, the national pride that it is causing to swell up in people's hearts.
00:22:32.000 The amount of people I've spoken to who said that they have not had a moment of optimism like this in the last two years, I can't count.
00:22:39.000 But it is really, it's awakened something in the Canadian spirit and it's contagious to the rest of the world as we're seeing.
00:22:46.000 So let's go through some of the logistics of this, which I don't think has been covered as much.
00:22:50.000 So are they literally just parking trucks in the streets and they're not moving?
00:22:53.000 How many streets is it?
00:22:54.000 How many trucks is it?
00:22:55.000 It's also super cold.
00:22:57.000 How are they showering?
00:22:58.000 How are they bathing?
00:22:58.000 How are they eating?
00:22:59.000 How are they keeping warm?
00:23:00.000 Just like walk us through the actual like kind of brick and mortar of this whole thing.
00:23:05.000 It's fascinating.
00:23:06.000 I hadn't even thought of these things myself until I get down on site.
00:23:09.000 The convoy itself is thousands and thousands of trucks, thousands, but it's not, you would not see thousands of trucks in Ottawa proper because what the police have done is on the one hand, geographically, Ottawa is right on the border.
00:23:23.000 Well, Ottawa, Ontario is right on the border of Gatineau with Quebec.
00:23:28.000 And there's a bridge.
00:23:28.000 There's a few bridges that cross over from Quebec into Ontario from Gatineau into Ottawa.
00:23:34.000 The police have blocked off those two bridges.
00:23:36.000 So the convoy portion that's in Quebec can't get to the parliament.
00:23:40.000 Within Ottawa, they've blocked off large sections of the streets in between certain portions of the convoy.
00:23:46.000 So what you see on Parliament Hill itself, it stretches by, you know, maybe two kilometers, stretches a bunch of roads back, and they're just parked there and they're just honking.
00:23:58.000 But they've sectioned it off so that if you looked at that, you'd say, okay, there's a couple hundred trucks, no big deal.
00:24:03.000 Except there's thousands, and from what I've been told, kilometers lengths of trucks that are broken off and segregated from the main Parliament Hill convoy.
00:24:13.000 So you don't get that impression, but there's drone shots of the convoy.
00:24:17.000 There's talk now that the convoy that is, you know, sectioned off in Quebec is going to go to Quebec City to protest.
00:24:22.000 But there are thousands and thousands of trucks.
00:24:25.000 And there's another portion of the convoy in Couts.
00:24:29.000 It's a small town, a border town between Alberta and Manitoba, I believe, where there's another standoff convoy blocking the border.
00:24:37.000 So it's huge.
00:24:38.000 It's massive.
00:24:39.000 They've raised $10.8 million on GoFundMe and GoFundMe has now frozen their account a second time.
00:24:46.000 We'll see what happens there.
00:24:47.000 Logistically, they're sleeping in their trucks.
00:24:51.000 The trucks are running.
00:24:51.000 So they're running on diesel, which apparently some of the truck drivers need the diesel to keep their engines going so they can stay warm at night.
00:24:58.000 They're sleeping in their trucks.
00:25:00.000 I went into a few trucks.
00:25:01.000 People had their dogs there.
00:25:04.000 It's showering, difficult.
00:25:06.000 Going to the bathroom, difficult because there's no portal potties, but they're not defecating on the street, nor are they urinating on monuments. 1.00
00:25:12.000 And I documented that myself in real time.
00:25:15.000 And then when I say that the people are not getting angry, I went down one street talking to the people.
00:25:20.000 They offered me a sandwich, some soup, some hot dogs.
00:25:22.000 And I said, no, thanks.
00:25:23.000 I said, what are you guys doing for showering for all these things?
00:25:26.000 They said, locals who live on the street invite us in.
00:25:28.000 They offer us help.
00:25:29.000 They offer us support.
00:25:31.000 So logistically, look, it's like camping, probably like dirty camping, but it's not filth.
00:25:36.000 And everyone I asked, every trucker I asked, how long are you here for?
00:25:40.000 Their answer was all reflexively the same, as long as it takes.
00:25:45.000 And it's 20 degrees Fahrenheit right now in Canada.
00:25:49.000 So you could tell me the Celsius.
00:25:51.000 You guys use Celsius in Canada?
00:25:52.000 I think so.
00:25:52.000 I do.
00:25:53.000 I don't, I, we do Celsius.
00:25:54.000 It was minus, like minus 20 Celsius over the weekend, blistering in the Alberta portion.
00:26:01.000 It was so cold.
00:26:02.000 There's truckers out there chanting freedom, freedom.
00:26:04.000 And the camera, you know, a cameraman is panning them.
00:26:06.000 They've got frost in their beard.
00:26:08.000 It's cold.
00:26:09.000 Monday when I went, it was minus 12 Celsius, whatever that is in Fahrenheit.
00:26:13.000 And yesterday when I went, it was zero, which is, you know, very, very mild as far as we're concerned.
00:26:18.000 So when it gets cold, they sleep in their trucks.
00:26:21.000 It is, look, it's a moment of history.
00:26:24.000 And it's an honor and a privilege and like, and just good luck, good fortune that I can get there to do it to document it in real time and for all the world to see.
00:26:34.000 Negative 20 Celsius is still cold.
00:26:36.000 It's like negative four Fahrenheit.
00:26:37.000 So it's very cold.
00:26:38.000 It's cold.
00:26:39.000 And if I remember, you multiplied times nine over five just to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit.
00:26:45.000 So I ask Siri, that's the easy way for me.
00:26:47.000 Yeah, well, then they track you, which they're already doing.
00:26:50.000 Talk briefly.
00:26:50.000 You're a citizen journalist.
00:26:51.000 How can people support you?
00:26:52.000 There's not a lot of you that are covering this right now.
00:26:55.000 I'm always reluctant to say that I'm a journalist.
00:26:57.000 I'm just, I'm a, what's the word? An analyst.
00:27:00.000 I just wanted to make sense of the world.
00:27:02.000 But when I see what I think are lies being told, I've got to go explore.
00:27:07.000 Viva Fry on YouTube, Robert Barnes, who's an American civil rights attorney, we've got a beautiful thing going.
00:27:13.000 We do live streams every Sunday where we go over all the issues of the week, interviews on Wednesdays.
00:27:18.000 We have a locals community, which is called vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
00:27:23.000 You know, there's that $5 a month thing there.
00:27:25.000 Where I'm on Twitter, where I'm a little bit more sassy just because of lack of character of tweets, not me, is the viva fry.
00:27:33.000 And I don't know what journalism is anymore.
00:27:36.000 I don't consider myself a journalist.
00:27:37.000 I just want to have discussions and understand people.
00:27:40.000 And if that's what it means, so be it.
00:27:42.000 Well, I like it.
00:27:44.000 So talk about the implications you think this will have worldwide.
00:27:48.000 It seems as if there's international attention on this.
00:27:51.000 You know, the funny thing is, it was Buddha who said there's three things that cannot long be hidden, the sun, the moon, and the truth.
00:27:59.000 At first, the media in Canada, which is largely subsidized by and bailed out through liberal federal government taxpayer dollars, at first they just totally ignored it.
00:28:11.000 This was not happening.
00:28:12.000 Then they had to report on something.
00:28:14.000 So the CBC, which is Canada broadcasting company, started reporting on a convoy of hundreds of trucks in British Columbia driving from Surrey to Vancouver, I think, which were allegedly protesting road conditions.
00:28:28.000 Now, there incidentally was a small convoy protesting road conditions in British Columbia, but this was like a form of distraction of what was actually going on in Canada, the main convoy going from British Columbia to Ottawa.
00:28:41.000 When it became too much to deny, they stealth edited their original article to add to the header.
00:28:48.000 And I noticed this because I reread the article and said, I didn't remember the header saying that.
00:28:52.000 They said this convoy is different than the one currently heading to Ottawa.
00:28:55.000 So they have to go back, rewrite history.
00:28:57.000 Then they have to address it because it's so big now, Canadians are learning about it.
00:29:01.000 And so what do they do?
00:29:01.000 They go to the way to demonize everyone and anything involved with it.
00:29:05.000 And then it starts spiraling out of control in terms of awareness.
00:29:08.000 You know, it was being covered more proactively in the United States and abroad than in Canada.
00:29:14.000 And that just, you know, it just started spreading like wildfire.
00:29:18.000 And it's an amazing thing is that there's something here that is relevant not only to Canada and Canadians, but to the entire world as relates to what citizens have been subjected to by governments across the world over the last two years.
00:29:32.000 So it's acquired a momentum of its own.
00:29:35.000 And then the second you get, you know, the Zubies of Twitter, the Elon Musks, the Russell Brands talking about it.
00:29:41.000 Yeah, you can't put this toothpaste back into the bottle.
00:29:45.000 And it's having repercussions throughout the world.
00:29:48.000 And the more the government ignores it and tries to downplay it, the more the people see it and the more enraged, politically speaking, the people get, not just in Canada, throughout the world.
00:29:58.000 Oh, I totally agree.
00:30:00.000 You know, in the book and the movie Hunger Games, which has its problems, there is this theme that is entertained that you do not allow the information to spread to the other districts, right?
00:30:11.000 That you can't allow other people in the country to actually know what's happening.
00:30:16.000 And I probably would say that more Americans are really engaged with what's happening in Ottawa than even some Canadians.
00:30:24.000 So tell me really quickly as we kind of close out this hour, is Trudeau going to go?
00:30:28.000 I mean, what's his future look like?
00:30:30.000 He's at some sort of lake house?
00:30:31.000 What's going on with Fidel's potential son, maybe?
00:30:35.000 That's a great internet meme for anybody who doesn't know.
00:30:38.000 There's some similarities there.
00:30:40.000 And a story, maybe.
00:30:41.000 And a story.
00:30:43.000 Google it, people.
00:30:44.000 For now.
00:30:44.000 Well, so here's one of the repercussions.
00:30:46.000 Aaron O'Toole, the leader of the Conservative Party, has been ousted.
00:30:51.000 And that's one outcome.
00:30:53.000 You get Justin Trudeau tweeting, oh, we thank you for your service, Aaron O'Toole.
00:30:57.000 You get Jagmeet Singh, who's the leader of the NDP, saying, it's a very hard time.
00:31:03.000 We salute you.
00:31:04.000 These leaders don't realize they're next in terms of being ousted.
00:31:09.000 They are no longer welcome in Canadian politics.
00:31:11.000 None of the political elite, the political establishment who think that they get to set rules that they don't have to abide by, who think they can lock down people while they still get their government check.
00:31:22.000 And although they're already rich from government corruption to begin with, they don't realize this is not a one-party thing.
00:31:28.000 This is a revolution, a revolt against the government that has been systematically abusing the citizens and imposing tyrannical rules that they themselves do not follow.
00:31:39.000 And I got to say, Justin Trudeau, he tucked his tail and fled like every tyrant does when the people rise up.
00:31:46.000 He's not in Ottawa.
00:31:48.000 Apparently, he, someone said he might be in the US, but I think he's in British Columbia.
00:31:52.000 You know, he's sitting there tweeting out random stuff about the Ukraine, trying to scare Putin with tweets.
00:31:57.000 It's like, you fled your own people. 0.92
00:32:00.000 You fled a convoy of the most peaceful protesters you are ever going to see.
00:32:04.000 You can't even muster the courage to address them.
00:32:07.000 Nobody internationally is going to take you seriously.
00:32:10.000 You are officially naked, politically speaking, and everyone can see it.
00:32:14.000 And it's only a matter of time before Justin Trudeau is going to either have to resign or there's going to be a vote of no confidence.
00:32:20.000 I think the same is true for Jugmeet Singh.
00:32:23.000 These are politicians who, other than being tyrannical hypocrites, have been the most fundamentally divisive politicians who have stirred up hatred and division among Canadians against Canadians, more so than anybody else in my memory.
00:32:37.000 And from what I understand, more so than anybody else in anybody's living memory. 0.59
00:32:42.000 It's a worldwide movement.
00:32:43.000 Viva Fry, thank you for your great work.
00:32:45.000 For those of you that don't know Canadian geography, British Columbia couldn't be further away.
00:32:48.000 If he was in the Yukon, then it would be really something.
