00:00:52.000His 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.
00:01:01.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:43.000What moral construct are we using to make decisions?
00:01:49.000Almost all decisions are moral decisions, regardless of what the judge nominate, judicial nominee that Biden put up, that Ted Cruz asked the other day.
00:02:00.000So, under what form of morality is this acceptable?
00:02:07.000Hospitals in Germany and the United Kingdom and Israel refuse life-saving transplant to three-year-old because his parents were unvaccinated.
00:02:16.000The 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.
00:02:30.000The boy was turned away by hospitals in the United Kingdom and in Israel for the same reason.
00:02:36.000Finally, a Greek hospital was found to do the transplant, and we think the boy is going to live.
00:02:44.000The 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.
00:02:55.000So, potentially allowing children to die because you don't take the medicine we want you to take, even though that medicine's not working.
00:03:02.000It's a leaky vaccine with numerous adverse events.
00:03:07.000Even 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.
00:03:16.000This 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.
00:03:25.000I will sacrifice my life for my kid, unlike what our society has done.
00:03:29.000They'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.
00:03:38.000But then the Europeans said, Oh, no, it doesn't matter.
00:03:40.000You have to wait another six weeks to get fully vaccinated.
00:03:45.000Cyprus wouldn't take no for an answer and asked if the child could be accompanied by a guardian.
00:03:52.000The 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.
00:04:02.000Health policies, including vaccination policies and their concrete implementation, are the responsibility of the member states, not the Commission.
00:04:10.000The boy's father said, I know that unvaccinated patients are admitted to hospitals in Germany.
00:04:15.000I didn't know that I had to be vaccinated for my child to be operated in on that hospital.
00:04:22.000Thankfully, after all of this hysteria and media backlash, the boy has finally received treatment.
00:04:32.000We are going to try and allow a three-year-old to die in the name of public health.
00:04:42.000To try to protect public health, we let a three-year-old die.
00:04:47.000Thankfully, the three-year-old did not die.
00:04:49.000Thankfully, 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.
00:05:01.000Very similar stories are happening in America, by the way.
00:05:06.000And we have some new whistleblowers out.
00:05:08.000Louisiana Department of Health whistleblower claims that COVID cases have been inflated for profit.
00:07:17.000Sweden has lifted nearly all COVID-19 restrictions.
00:07:21.000We can open up society, Sweden has said.
00:07:23.000In a press conference on Thursday morning, the Swedish government announced plans to remove the majority of restrictions against COVID-19.
00:07:30.000Have 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?
00:07:42.000The pandemic is not over, but it's entering a new phase, said the Swedish health minister.
00:07:46.000We are not, we are nearing the point for Sweden to open up again.
00:07:50.000The following restrictions will be moved next week.
00:07:53.000Indoor events will happen, vaccination passes will be removed, restaurants, curfews will be removed.
00:08:00.000Basically, all COVID restrictions will be lifted.
00:08:04.000And 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.
00:08:13.000I just didn't have a mask and I didn't feel like wearing one.
00:08:39.000And 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.
00:08:49.000Again, I'm not giving you medical advice.
00:08:51.000Always go through people that know what they're doing.
00:08:53.000But thankfully, we connected them with the A-team.
00:08:56.000After two weeks of long COVID, he took some ivermectin.
00:10:09.000They're super dark and it's just hard to believe.
00:10:12.000I 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.
00:10:19.000But 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.
00:10:34.000So, morality is one of the most important topics we've been talking about.
00:10:39.000The protection of children is a Judeo-Christian idea that children must be protected, nurtured, and not taken advantage of.
00:10:51.000I don't think I have to spend an entire podcast on why that is the case.
00:10:55.000That would be what we call self-evident.
00:10:59.000But 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.
00:11:15.000So it starts with, yeah, I mean, why can't a man marry a man?
00:11:24.000Now, 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?
00:11:38.000And we were, people like Prager and others, he wasn't alone.
00:11:41.000Was an argument that James Dobson made and many others were totally cast aside and said, That is not ever going to happen.
00:11:50.000So, this person's a professor at the State University of New York.
00:11:54.000And 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.
00:12:05.000This 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.
00:12:21.000The Overton window, one of the most important ways to view all political ideas.
00:12:28.000Imagine that an adult male wants to have sex with a 12-year-old girl.
00:12:33.000Imagine that she's a willing participant.
00:12:36.000A very standard, very widely held view that there's something deeply wrong about this, and it's wrong independent of it being criminalized.
00:12:43.000It's not obvious to me that is, in fact, wrong.
00:12:47.000And 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.
00:12:58.000It's not obvious to me that adult child sex is wrong.
00:13:02.000Why shouldn't children be taken advantage of?
00:13:42.000Listen, 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.
00:13:55.000I 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.
00:14:03.000So, that person is the name Thaddeus Russell.

00:15:52.000It'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.
00:16:03.000So that although the media might try to distort, history at least can document.
00:16:08.000So the way that I kind of get my hour-by-hour analysis of what's happening in Ottawa is two ways.
00:16:35.000I drove in and out on Monday and in and out yesterday.
00:16:39.000There'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.
00:17:14.000The media makes hay of two images, one of which a guy's carrying a swastika flag for whatever the reason.
00:17:22.000The only guy in the entire crowd wearing a full bank robbery ski mask with sunglasses so you can't see anything.
00:17:28.000The only guy doing that was asked to leave, but the media makes hay as though that is reflective or represents the entire convoy.
00:17:35.000Another 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.
00:17:45.000And 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.
00:17:58.000I saw nothing but love in my 10 plus hours live streaming in real time.
00:18:03.000So even if I captured something that was unfavorable, no editing, no nothing.
00:18:08.000And I'm just, I'm flabbergasted by the lies that the media puts out there and the actual, the actual reality.
00:18:15.000I'm just, it's like movie, except if you saw this in a movie like the Truman Show, you just wouldn't believe it.
00:18:22.000And it's an international phenomenon now in Canada.
00:18:25.000So there's a couple of questions I have.
00:18:26.000The first of which is: Canadians by kind of a disposition are very agreeable, very nice, very pleasant.
00:18:33.000This sort of behavior is kind of unusual, you know, to be like openly rebellious and they've been pushed too far.
00:18:42.000And also, do you think the people of Canada are largely behind what the truckers are trying to do here?
00:18:48.000Okay, 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.
00:19:07.000You know, its history was built on defying authority.
00:19:10.000Ours was built on being a subject to authority.
00:19:13.000Now, 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.
00:19:22.000But 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.
00:19:33.000I walked the streets literally looking for things to complain about that the media would run with.
00:19:38.000I saw one act of vandalism, which was paint that said freedom convoy on a on a pillar in front of parliament.
00:19:45.000The protesters are literally putting their garbage in garbage bags.
00:19:49.000They're literally shoveling the sidewalks to keep them clear because the city couldn't do it.
00:19:54.000The media ran with this narrative that the convoy was defecating or urinating on war monuments, defaced the Terry Fox monument.
00:20:05.000The defacing of the Terry Fox monument consisted of putting a flag in his hand and a banner on his chest that said freedom.
00:20:11.000And when I got there, that wasn't there, but there were flowers in his hand and flowers on the monument.
00:20:17.000It's the most polite opposition to government tyranny you could possibly imagine.
00:20:22.000There were groups of indigenous peoples doing a prayer dance in Confederate Park.
00:20:27.000I met people of all walks of life, all genders, all gender identities, all races, all religions.
00:20:34.000And somehow, people are running with the idea that this is an extremist, violent, anti-Semitic, racist, whatever is you want to add, convoy.
00:20:44.000It couldn't be further from the truth.
00:21:02.000So this is a tough one to answer because I may be living in my own silo where I think everyone's gung-ho.
00:21:08.000I've seen in my milieu some people say, oh, they shouldn't protest.
00:21:12.000Just, you know, do what the government says, leave, stop obstructing.
00:21:15.000The 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.
00:21:24.000Even then, you go three blocks down from the convoy, you don't really hear much honking.
00:21:29.000My impression, this is only my impression, but it's the impression I get from actually having spoken to the police officers on site.
00:21:37.000You get that sort of wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
00:21:39.000We're behind you, but we're just here to, because we're told to.
00:21:43.000When I asked the police officers, any acts of violence, any acts of destruction, anything that you find over the top egregious, they said no.
00:21:52.000So 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.
00:22:04.000And just for our American listeners, Terry Fox was kind of like a Forrest Gump type figure.
00:22:09.000He ran coast to coast to raise money for cancer research.
00:22:12.000Well, just to know what he thinks, he wasn't on Forrest Gump in intellectual capacity.
00:22:16.000He was diagnosed with terminal cancer and then decided to just run, raise.
00:22:21.000The 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.
00:22:32.000The 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.
00:22:39.000But 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.
00:22:46.000So let's go through some of the logistics of this, which I don't think has been covered as much.
00:22:50.000So are they literally just parking trucks in the streets and they're not moving?
00:23:06.000I hadn't even thought of these things myself until I get down on site.
00:23:09.000The 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.
00:23:23.000Well, Ottawa, Ontario is right on the border of Gatineau with Quebec.
00:23:28.000There's a few bridges that cross over from Quebec into Ontario from Gatineau into Ottawa.
00:23:34.000The police have blocked off those two bridges.
00:23:36.000So the convoy portion that's in Quebec can't get to the parliament.
00:23:40.000Within Ottawa, they've blocked off large sections of the streets in between certain portions of the convoy.
00:23:46.000So 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.
00:23:58.000But 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.
00:24:03.000Except 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.
00:24:13.000So you don't get that impression, but there's drone shots of the convoy.
00:24:17.000There's talk now that the convoy that is, you know, sectioned off in Quebec is going to go to Quebec City to protest.
00:24:22.000But there are thousands and thousands of trucks.
00:24:25.000And there's another portion of the convoy in Couts.
00:24:29.000It's a small town, a border town between Alberta and Manitoba, I believe, where there's another standoff convoy blocking the border.
00:24:51.000So 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.
00:25:06.000Going to the bathroom, difficult because there's no portal potties, but they're not defecating on the street, nor are they urinating on monuments.
00:25:12.000And I documented that myself in real time.
00:25:15.000And then when I say that the people are not getting angry, I went down one street talking to the people.
00:25:20.000They offered me a sandwich, some soup, some hot dogs.
00:26:09.000Monday when I went, it was minus 12 Celsius, whatever that is in Fahrenheit.
00:26:13.000And yesterday when I went, it was zero, which is, you know, very, very mild as far as we're concerned.
00:26:18.000So when it gets cold, they sleep in their trucks.
00:26:21.000It is, look, it's a moment of history.
00:26:24.000And 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.
00:27:44.000So talk about the implications you think this will have worldwide.
00:27:48.000It seems as if there's international attention on this.
00:27:51.000You 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.
00:27:59.000At 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.
00:28:14.000So 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.
00:28:28.000Now, 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.
00:28:41.000When it became too much to deny, they stealth edited their original article to add to the header.
00:28:48.000And I noticed this because I reread the article and said, I didn't remember the header saying that.
00:28:52.000They said this convoy is different than the one currently heading to Ottawa.
00:28:55.000So they have to go back, rewrite history.
00:28:57.000Then they have to address it because it's so big now, Canadians are learning about it.
00:29:01.000They go to the way to demonize everyone and anything involved with it.
00:29:05.000And then it starts spiraling out of control in terms of awareness.
00:29:08.000You know, it was being covered more proactively in the United States and abroad than in Canada.
00:29:14.000And that just, you know, it just started spreading like wildfire.
00:29:18.000And 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.
00:29:32.000So it's acquired a momentum of its own.
00:29:35.000And then the second you get, you know, the Zubies of Twitter, the Elon Musks, the Russell Brands talking about it.
00:29:41.000Yeah, you can't put this toothpaste back into the bottle.
00:29:45.000And it's having repercussions throughout the world.
00:29:48.000And 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.
00:30:00.000You 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?
00:30:11.000That you can't allow other people in the country to actually know what's happening.
00:30:16.000And I probably would say that more Americans are really engaged with what's happening in Ottawa than even some Canadians.
00:30:24.000So tell me really quickly as we kind of close out this hour, is Trudeau going to go?
00:31:04.000These leaders don't realize they're next in terms of being ousted.
00:31:09.000They are no longer welcome in Canadian politics.
00:31:11.000None 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.
00:31:22.000And although they're already rich from government corruption to begin with, they don't realize this is not a one-party thing.
00:31:28.000This 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.
00:31:39.000And I got to say, Justin Trudeau, he tucked his tail and fled like every tyrant does when the people rise up.
00:32:00.000You fled a convoy of the most peaceful protesters you are ever going to see.
00:32:04.000You can't even muster the courage to address them.
00:32:07.000Nobody internationally is going to take you seriously.
00:32:10.000You are officially naked, politically speaking, and everyone can see it.
00:32:14.000And 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.
00:32:20.000I think the same is true for Jugmeet Singh.
00:32:23.000These 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.
00:32:37.000And from what I understand, more so than anybody else in anybody's living memory.
