00:01:09.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:12.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:14.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:15.000 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.

00:01:23.000 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.

00:01:32.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:35.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTodd.com.

00:01:44.000 Barack Obama.

00:01:47.000 Barack Obama is an interesting person to study.

00:01:51.000 I got my political start while Obama had his political rise.

00:01:58.000 Obama, of course, would call Chicago his hometown.

00:02:01.000 Hawaii would be kind of more like his hometown. 0.65

00:02:04.000 I always found the whole debate about Obama's birth certificate to be a little bit silly.

00:02:09.000 His father, though, that's always been kind of a question of who he was and where he came from.

00:02:17.000 Obama is Chicago.

00:02:21.000 It's in his blood.

00:02:23.000 He believes in a political viewpoint and worldview that if you don't get what you want, you throw the window, you throw the brick through the window and you blame the other side.

00:02:38.000 Obama built an entire political machine with David Pluff and Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett.

00:02:45.000 It took the entire American political landscape by storm, especially when Hillary Clinton was supposed to be the nominee and president in 2008. 0.82

00:02:55.000 So things are not going well for Democrats right now.

00:02:59.000 Democrats are looking as if they are going to get clobbered in the upcoming midterms.

00:03:03.000 The Senate is probably going to be in Republican hands unless Republicans screw it up.

00:03:11.000 And so who do they bring in to try to spark up the troops to try to pep them up, to try to get them focused?

00:03:16.000 Barack Obama.

00:03:18.000 Former President Barack Obama speaks to the House Democrats on Thursday.

00:03:22.000 The private meeting is organized by Hakeem Jeffries, the caucus chair, and is expected to take place virtually.

00:03:29.000 You know, Obama will not be bothered by leaving Oahu while he is communicating to House Democrats.

00:03:36.000 Obama, who has kept his public appearances to a minimum since leaving office, will participate in a keynote discussion with Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

00:03:45.000 Now, I'm reading this article that happened a couple days ago.

00:03:49.000 But last night, some of the information from his speech got leaked.

00:03:56.000 And Obama basically leaned in and told Democrats, here's the problem.

00:04:01.000 The problem is not that you're messing up the country.

00:04:04.000 The problem is you're not communicating what you're doing.

00:04:07.000 Quote from CBSNews.com, former president Barack Hussein Obama exhorted House Democrats to celebrate their accomplishments on the campaign trail rather than dwell on the setbacks they faced as they try to defend their slim majority in the midterms this year.

00:04:24.000 Obama, the featured keynote speaker during the caucus virtual messaging summit Thursday, told lawmakers to, quote, take the wins you can get, and quote, doesn't help to whine about the stuff you can't change.

00:04:35.000 He says you need to be aggressive about highlighting the progress.

00:04:40.000 He says Democrats deliver.

00:04:42.000 He reminded them of the fight to pass nationwide health care, the Affordable Care Act when he was president.

00:04:48.000 Now, Obama shouldn't exactly be a subject matter expert on how to hold chambers of power in midterms.

00:04:55.000 It was one of the most, let's say, it was one of the most historic midterm elections ever in 2010 where Republicans took back the House in a historic fashion.

00:05:05.000 Historic meaning so much power was lost so quickly.

00:05:08.000 But Obama's message was this, was that Democrats deliver when Republicans just talk.

00:05:15.000 Now, many of you are probably irritated and probably confused by hearing this, hearing that Barack Obama is lecturing you about how wonderful and lovely things are.

00:05:26.000 But he means it.

00:05:28.000 You see, Obama is not telling Democrats they have to change the actual policy.

00:05:34.000 Obama's not telling people that they have to stop double-digit inflation or soaring gas prices or a southern border that is wide open or calling moms and dads domestic terrorists or implementing a radical transgender agenda.

00:05:48.000 No, instead, Obama says you have to just get better at communicating what we are doing.

00:05:54.000 I had a phenomenal conversation yesterday with Dave Rubin, which we will post on our podcast at some point, where he was interviewing me, which was a nice kind of change of roles because we interview him a lot and he's very smart, founder of locals.com, by the way, which was acquired by Rumble.

00:06:09.000 And he asked me a very important question.

00:06:11.000 He said, Charlie, do you think in the Democrats' private meetings, they think things are going well?

00:06:19.000 And that's a really important question.

00:06:22.000 Now, some Democrats, like Cinema and Manchin, probably not so much because they have a little bit, they have a shred, they have an inch of honesty.

00:06:30.000 But the base of the Democrat Party, the Hakeem Jeffries, the AOCs, the Schumer's, the Pelosis, and the Obamas, they think things are going totally according to plan.

00:06:42.000 Now, they don't doubt that they are unpopular, but what is popular is not necessarily what the Democrats want to usher in.

00:06:51.000 You can kind of go back to what the World Economic Forum says they think the world is going to look like by 2030.

00:06:57.000 Primarily, three promises that were part of the World Economic Forum when it came out and they said what 2030 will look like.

00:07:06.000 Of course, it's the, you won't be eating any meat and we're going to Mars, but there's three things that we must focus on.

00:07:12.000 Number one, that America will no longer be a superpower.

00:07:18.000 Number two, you'll own nothing and you'll be happier than ever.

00:07:22.000 Sounds like a threat.

00:07:23.000 Like, you better be happy and you'll own nothing.

00:07:26.000 And number three, you will be participating in a world where Western values will no longer be superior.

00:07:36.000 Now, this is the World Economics Forum agenda.

00:07:38.000 And you must understand that Barack Obama has been a partner in the ushering in of this sort of agenda.

00:07:48.000 And they think they are doing the right thing.

00:07:51.000 The first line of Aristotle's ethics is all behavior, all action points towards some good.

00:07:56.000 Now, if you kind of put aside the mentally and clinically insane, more evil has been done in the name of good than evil done in the name of evil.

00:08:06.000 Obama thinks, alongside all of his Democrat counterparts, they are, quote, on the right side of history.

00:08:11.000 Remember, Obama, the arc of history points towards justice.

00:08:18.000 Deteriorating the currency and keeping the borders open and vaccinating six-month-olds, pandering to a technocratic corporate oligarchy.

00:08:27.000 These are all important components of what will usher in the great reset.

00:08:33.000 But Democrats are starting to realize and admit it's not exactly popular in places like Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, even Arizona, Georgia.

00:08:41.000 In fact, they have double-digit, sometimes 25, 30-point-digit deficits.

00:08:47.000 But the solution that Obama is prescribing is very revealing.

00:08:51.000 And this is exactly where we're leading the show with it.

00:08:53.000 It's not that they are saying we need to pivot on what we are doing.

00:08:57.000 It's that we need to get better at communicating what we are doing.

00:09:01.000 It's like, hey, we just got to kind of, we got to tell people that Rome is burning, but the good thing about Rome burning is that you'll all have jobs to rebuild the buildings because everything's burning.

00:09:14.000 But the good news about Pearl Harbor is that we didn't like the architecture anyway.

00:09:18.000 Like those ships, we wanted to get rid of them.

00:09:21.000 9-11, hey, we'll be able to build a new tower in its place.

00:09:26.000 You get the point.

00:09:28.000 It's not that, oh, something's wrong and the house is on fire and let's put the fire out.

00:09:32.000 It's like, hey, the house is on fire.

00:09:33.000 Insurance will cover it and we'll get a mansion.

00:09:35.000 Like it's actually good.

00:09:36.000 We need to tell people that the obvious suffering around them is a wonderful and delightful thing.

00:09:41.000 We're going to play some tape about this because Biden definitely got the memo where Biden has said very clearly and openly, inflation's a good thing.

00:09:49.000 You should have a peace of mind about it because for them, it actually is.

00:09:53.000 Inflation is the ultimate economic means to an end to justify more immigration, more human beings, a technocratic agenda, trying to trade. 0.54

00:10:02.000 All these things will quote unquote be ways to ease the hot inflation.

00:10:08.000 It's the same behavior I mentioned earlier.

00:10:11.000 It's the window repairman that walks down the street at 4 a.m. and throws bricks through windows and conveniently gets a call a couple hours later of people that need their windows fixed.

00:10:24.000 You create the crisis and then you position yourself as the only person that can fix the crisis that you created.

00:11:37.000 So the question that Dave Rubin posed to me that ties into this Obama kind of shtick is, do the Democrats think they are doing well?

00:11:47.000 And the answer is they think they're doing wonderfully.

00:11:49.000 They just have a communication problem.

00:11:51.000 And you hear this time and time again, meaning that what they are doing is perfectly fundamental transformation, trying to change the nation. 0.99

00:12:00.000 It's just we have to convince the stupid people that paying double digits for things is actually a wonderful thing. 0.99

00:12:07.000 That it's up for us to deploy platoons of Harvard economists to try to tell the plumber in Youngstown, Ohio, like, listen, idiot, the fact that you can't afford chili for the Super Bowl is actually a great thing. 1.00

00:12:21.000 Okay, you need to go eat impossible plant-based meat, and you're going to have fun while doing it. 0.99

00:12:28.000 Biden says, look, we're in a situation where you should now have peace of mind.

00:12:33.000 If Joe Biden was being diagnosed in a clinical setting, not for the dementia or the Alzheimer stuff, I think that stuff's sort of cruel.

00:12:40.000 And honestly, we know he has it, but I'm talking about just from a psychological perspective.

00:12:44.000 Let's just actually broaden this.

00:12:46.000 If the Democrat Party was being diagnosed by a psychologist, they'd say, this is a gaslighting operation that is abusing the entire population.

00:12:55.000 We've been through what gaslighting is before.

00:12:57.000 It's a legitimate psychological concern.

00:12:59.000 Play Cut 122.

00:13:00.000 The fact is that we're in a situation now where, you know, you should have peace of mind.

00:13:08.000 I know food prices are up and we're working to bring them down.

00:13:11.000 I said I grew up in a family where the price at the pump went up, you're filling.

00:13:15.000 And I understand, but these things are necessities.

00:13:19.000 We're working to bring down prices where they're not totally what families, in fact, have to pay now.

00:13:26.000 It's not happening and it's good that it is, the great Michael Anton wrote in The American Mind and one of the great pieces of 2021.

00:13:34.000 Inflation is not happening and it's really good that inflation's happening, actually.

00:13:38.000 In the same sentence, Play Cut 131.

00:13:42.000 I actually haven't heard this clip yet.

00:13:44.000 So we're all going to be, I'm going to hear it for the first time as you.

00:13:47.000 So it's Dick Durbin weighing in on the Biden economy.

00:13:49.000 You'll get my live reaction.

00:13:50.000 Play Cut 131.

00:13:51.000 There's a new CNN poll today with not great news for President Biden and the Democrats in terms of job approval.

00:13:57.000 Strikingly, 56% of respondents in our poll who disapprove of Biden's job say he has made zero moves that they approve of.

00:14:06.000 Zero.

00:14:06.000 Not on coronavirus, not on the economy, not even on getting a cat.

00:14:11.000 Do you think President Biden is doing everything he can to reach these voters?

00:14:14.000 Listen, Jake, we're in the doldrums at this point.

00:14:16.000 And I think it really all relates back to that inflation situation together with the pandemic.

00:14:22.000 Now, I heard that for the first time as you did.

00:14:25.000 Dick Durbin is going to actually give the speech that we predicted he was going to give in an American Greatness article one year ago.

00:14:31.000 They're going to pivot and admit that inflation is here and use it as an excuse for mass amnesty.

00:14:36.000 We were the first show to actually come out and put that in writing.

00:14:39.000 Remember how we got attacked mercilessly for that?

00:14:42.000 Charlie Kirk thinks inflation is a strategy for open borders.

00:14:45.000 Well, now John Tester is literally saying that out loud, where John Tester from Montana actually literally says that, quote, comprehensive immigration reform could help cut inflation because of ongoing worker shortages.

00:15:00.000 So the way to solve inflation is to bring more people in, also known as cheap Democrat voters.

00:15:07.000 Cheap labor for the Republican business owners, cheap Democrat voters for the Democrat base.

00:15:13.000 That's actually a beautiful segue to the workers of the world that are uniting.

00:15:18.000 In a bizarre turn of events, we're now on the side of labor, and Democrats and the left are now on the side of capital and the regime.

00:15:29.000 With all the noise surrounding the topics of money and the economy, today more than ever before, you need a financial guide that you can trust.

00:15:38.000 That's why I trust PAC's financial group.

00:15:40.000 Not only do they share my conservative values, they are committed to putting your interests ahead of their own.

00:15:46.000 Big Wall Street firms are forcing their political agendas into your investments.

00:15:50.000 And it's time to stop giving your money to companies that don't share your values or use their profits, my profits, as a way to silence Christians. 0.64

00:15:59.000 PAX is proud to offer an alternative called BRIs, Biblical Responsible Investing.

00:16:06.000 Look, I got to know the people behind PAX Financial at a pro-life dinner in San Antonio.

00:16:13.000 I got to know them and they told me about biblical responsible investing.

00:16:15.000 And at first, I wasn't really sure what to make of it.

00:16:18.000 But as I got to know the team behind PAX Financial, we agreed to partner with them here on the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:16:24.000 Biblical Responsible Investing supports and promotes our values of being pro-family and pro-life and screens out companies that support pornography or anti-Christian or anti-conservative.

00:16:36.000 If you have $150,000 or more in investments, text them, Charlie, at number 74868.

00:16:53.000 They'll be able to schedule a 15-minute free, no-obligation consultation.

00:16:56.000 I'm moving some of my money over to PAX Financial.

00:16:59.000 And honestly, I hope they do well with it with some of the returns.

00:17:03.000 But I'm happy that part of my portfolio will be able to go towards biblical responsible investing.

00:17:10.000 I think they're going to crush it for me in the market, but I'll be able to know that my hard-earned dollars are not going towards pornography, anti-Christian, pro-BLM nonsense.

00:17:20.000 You'll be connected with a financial advisor who will walk this through with you.

00:17:23.000 Text Charlie at number 74868 today.

00:17:26.000 Invest in companies that don't hate you.

00:17:28.000 Invest in companies that I believe are actually consistent with biblical truths.

00:17:38.000 Just Charlie in the body there.

00:17:40.000 Check it out right now.

00:17:41.000 Brought to you by PAX Financial Group, PAX.

00:17:46.000 All right, with us right now is Viva Fry.

00:17:50.000 Does a great job.

00:17:51.000 Straight from Canada. 0.64

00:17:52.000 And the Canadian trucker movement, everybody, is gaining steam.

00:17:56.000 It is one of the most successful, one of the most unexpected, organic, grassroots, authentic human rights protests in North American, modern North American history.

00:18:12.000 I don't think that's overstating it at all.

00:18:14.000 With us right now is Vivo Fry to walk us through all of it.

00:18:16.000 How you doing, man?

00:18:17.000 Great to see you.

00:18:18.000 Good in yourself.

00:18:20.000 What is going on in Canada?

00:18:21.000 It seems like there's multiple now protests.

00:18:25.000 It's not just in Ottawa.

00:18:26.000 It's also the Ambassador Bridge.

00:18:28.000 What's going on?

00:18:29.000 So multiple fronts to this now.

00:18:31.000 And the amazing thing, I'll call them the naive government that doesn't seem to be aware of the Streisand effect on a political basis as well.

00:18:40.000 The more heavy-handed they come down to try to quell and stifle and suppress this grassroots movement of protest, the worse they make it.

00:18:50.000 They declared a state of emergency in Ottawa on the basis that the citizens were being terrorized.

00:18:55.000 The city's paralyzed.

00:18:57.000 You can't do no room for emergency vehicles.

00:19:01.000 I've been there now eight days just documenting, live streaming, talking to people in real time.

00:19:08.000 If something bad had happened in terms of visibility, it would have been seen in real time.

00:19:12.000 The city's not crippled.

00:19:14.000 The honking has stopped about a week ago.

00:19:16.000 They got a court order injunction anyhow, but they were respecting not honking at night for a while now.

00:19:22.000 But the more the government comes down with a heavy fist, the worse this gets.

00:19:26.000 It's spread now to the blockading of the Ambassador Bridge, which is between Windsor and Michigan.

00:19:31.000 The figure varies depending on where you read it, but it's a trade route for hundreds of millions of dollars in goods a day.

00:19:38.000 Some say a billion, others say 100 million.

00:19:42.000 That's come to a standstill.

00:19:43.000 There's another border crossing out west in Coutz, which has been blockaded.

00:19:49.000 Protesters parking their trucks there.

00:19:52.000 And, you know, I've been asking them.

00:19:53.000 I've asked everyone the same question.

00:19:55.000 I pretty much get the same answer with a variation.

00:19:57.000 What are you here for?

00:19:58.000 And they say, freedom, ending all these mandates.

00:20:01.000 And I say, when are you leaving?

00:20:02.000 And they say, when we have our freedom.

00:20:04.000 And so let's talk about the significance of the Ambassador Bridge.

00:20:07.000 This is a new development.

00:20:08.000 This wasn't happening like a week ago.

00:20:10.000 And this is the thoroughfare between Windsor and Detroit.

00:20:14.000 A lot of auto manufacturer supplies go through this bridge and it's totally shut down, if I'm not mistaken, including the on-ramps there.

00:20:22.000 Is that right?

00:20:22.000 As far as I understand, it's at a standstill.

00:20:26.000 It's not like in Ottawa, there are emergency routes so that emergency trucks can get through.

00:20:31.000 From what I understand, the bridge is at a standstill and not moving, not going anywhere.

00:20:36.000 And this is, yes, some would say as a response or result of what the government's trying to do to the trucker protest in Ottawa.

00:20:45.000 They get involved.

00:20:47.000 They interfere with GoFundMe.

00:20:49.000 They pressure GoFundMe to cancel the fundraiser after they've reached $10 million, the second biggest GoFundMe campaign in Canadian history.

00:20:57.000 What happens?

00:20:57.000 You've just pissed off a lot more truckers and a lot of other people who were hitherto not getting involved.

00:21:05.000 People think this is the truckers versus Canada.

00:21:07.000 They think it's a group of extremists.

00:21:08.000 They have to understand.

00:21:10.000 I've been talking to the people on the street.

00:21:12.000 I talked to a truck driver from Kuwait.

00:21:14.000 I talked to a truck driver from Romania.

00:21:16.000 I talked to citizens.

00:21:17.000 One was a Haitian immigrant.

00:21:19.000 Another one was a retired registered nurse who came out of retirement when she got the call from the government, worked for two years under COVID, and then got put on unpaid leave of absence because she refused to get the shot.

00:21:31.000 This is not just truckers.

00:21:33.000 And if people think that what the government is doing to suppress this protest only limits itself to this particular convoy, this particular protest, you're deluding yourselves.

00:21:41.000 They are chiseling away at our constitutional freedoms bit by bit, weaponizing every aspect of government to do so.

00:21:47.000 And if anyone thinks this stops here with this particular protest, you're wrong.

00:21:51.000 Well, and it's so funny is the people that are always lecturing me about democracy and about democracy dying in darkness, and the very same people that always used to wear these ridiculous shirts to school, workers of the world unite.

00:22:04.000 It's like now the workers of the world are actually uniting and they want to go use the police force, you know, the shock troops to go after them and go confiscate their firewood and their diesel.

00:22:15.000 So if you could literally, literally, yeah, that's exactly right.

00:22:19.000 So if you can walk through one thing that I'm a little unclear of, because I'm seeing all these news reports, some people are lifting like mask mandates, or some people are listening.

00:22:29.000 Where have there been wins since this has started?

00:22:34.000 So my understanding is some of the provinces now are discovering the new science and rolling the measures back.

00:22:41.000 Ontario is expected to announce today that they're going to eliminate the vaccine passport system.

00:22:47.000 I think it was Manitoba made a similar declaration in Quebec, who I call the supreme leader Francois Legault, who's our premier, says that as of March 14th, we're going to start going back to normal slowly.

00:23:00.000 That dog is very annoying.

00:23:02.000 Except with respect to the vaccine passport, which is going to stay in effect.

00:23:05.000 And that, for those of you who don't know, watching your show, children aged 13 and up need to be double vaccinated and need to carry around their vaccine passport QR code to partake in regular society, to play after-school activities, to go to movie theaters, restaurants, et cetera.

00:23:21.000 That's going to stay in effect here in Quebec.

00:23:23.000 So they're rolling back some.

00:23:24.000 They're all saying it has nothing to do with the convoy.

00:23:27.000 They're all rolling them back while simultaneously threatening the convoy.

00:23:30.000 Doug Ford, who's the premier of Ontario, same day he's coming out rolling back some of these measures, is also coming down with his iron ham fists to say, like, we're going to fine these truckers up to $100,000, put them in jail.

00:23:43.000 This is unlawful.

00:23:44.000 We're declaring a state of emergency.

00:23:45.000 And meanwhile, I'm the schnook with the camera just tweeting out video from Ottawa.

00:23:51.000 Those rowdy protesters were shoveling the snow off the sidewalk that the city of Ottawa is refusing to do.

00:23:57.000 I've never seen such a split between reality and what the media is saying is reality.

00:24:02.000 I've never seen it this bad in my entire life.

00:24:04.000 I hope to never see it this way again, but I hope to reach some people so that people know that the media lies teeth.

00:24:11.000 The politicians who have bought off the media use them to continue lying through their teeth.

00:24:15.000 And we are just the people here sitting around expected to swallow this rubbish that they're stuffing down our throat.

00:24:21.000 So Ontario has both Toronto and Ottawa in it. 0.93

00:24:25.000 Is that correct?

00:24:25.000 Yeah.

00:24:26.000 Ottawa is the capital of Canada, but it's relatively, it's a million population in Ontario, but it's the capital of Canada.

00:24:33.000 And then Toronto is a huge city.

00:24:34.000 So therefore, the truckers have triggered what they wanted in Ontario.

00:24:40.000 Like what, here, here's a question.

00:24:42.000 Like, what does success look like at this point if some of these mandates are being repealed?

00:24:46.000 From the truckers' perspective, I don't think they consider this to be a victory because for them, it's all of these mandates.

00:24:52.000 Okay.

00:24:53.000 No exception and no reserving the right to go back.

00:24:56.000 Like I've been making the analogy, like this is sort of like a dog that has bitten you.

00:25:01.000 And if the dog doesn't bite you again, you never look at that dog the same way again because it's susceptible of biting.

00:25:07.000 I think a lot of people, myself included, are looking at the government that way too.

00:25:11.000 You can't just take some back and say it's good enough or take it all back and say, but we reserve the right to lock you in your homes again to implement a discriminatory and divisive vaccine passport. 0.67

00:25:20.000 They say, all gone.

00:25:21.000 We want our freedoms back.

00:25:24.000 I don't think they see these as victories.

00:25:26.000 And in the meantime, worth mentioning, when you fight corruption, corruption fights back.

00:25:31.000 After having politically interfered with the GoFundMe campaign, the Attorney General of Ontario, ex parte, for those who don't know what that means, without the presence of the defendant in the suit, got an order yesterday.

00:25:44.000 Effectively, I'm reading through the order.

00:25:46.000 I can barely make sense of what it means, enjoining give, send, go from disposing or providing the monies that they have raised to the truckers and disposing, sorry, preventing any of the truckers from accessing or using that money.

00:26:00.000 So they went from getting involved with GoFundMe, political pressure to get GoFundMe to shut the campaign down.

00:26:07.000 Last week, they raised $10 million on Give, Send, Go.

00:26:11.000 And then they go and get an ex parte court order without representation from anyone from the convoy to freeze the assets that have been raised through grassroots donations from people across the world.

00:26:25.000 It is weaponizing every aspect of government to utterly destroy every aspect of our constitution.

00:26:32.000 Yeah, I suppose it's a really good argument for Bitcoin, right?

00:26:34.000 Like, good luck stopping that.

00:26:36.000 But I mean, in traditional banking, they can literally stop a movement.

00:26:39.000 And this is a learning lesson that, I mean, Canada's a little bit more cavalier.

00:26:43.000 But I wouldn't put this past New York or California to do something like this.

00:26:47.000 But of course, if BLM is burning down your entire civilization, let the money flow, right?

00:26:51.000 Like Kamala Harris can raise bail money for these terrorists and all of that. 1.00

00:26:55.000 But you mentioned it's the double standards.

00:26:59.000 Now, in fairness, people did criticize Kamala Harris at the time for raising money to bail out people who were put in jail for acts of violence, actual acts of violence.

00:27:08.000 And now they're referring to this as an extremist.

00:27:13.000 They're using insurrectionist terminology.

00:27:16.000 And when you go to Ottawa, I was there yesterday.

00:27:19.000 It's quieter than Montreal on an ordinary day.

00:27:21.000 They're not honking their horns.

00:27:23.000 They're parked.

00:27:23.000 They're shoveling the sidewalks.

00:27:25.000 Crime has actually gone down in Ottawa.

00:27:27.000 The homeless people are actually being fed because the trumpets have more food than they know what to do with.

00:27:32.000 So they're actually feeding the local homeless population.

00:27:35.000 It's the level of deceit is over the top.

00:27:39.000 It's true there is some blockading of the transport on the Ambassador Bridge, which is going to have consequences.

00:27:46.000 But it's like the government has now said, you get to protest, but it's over when we say it's over, and it can't cause any disruption that we find disruptive.

00:27:56.000 But in other circumstances, you can have your peaceful but somewhat fiery protests that last an entire summer.

00:28:03.000 The double standard should be nauseating for everybody.

00:28:06.000 The only problem is the people who like this, who think that they're on the right side now because the government would never do this to them, are supporting it.

00:28:13.000 Yeah, and it's like, also, what were you protesting in the summer, right?

00:28:16.000 I mean, they were allegedly protesting, you know, a police killing in Minneapolis.

00:28:22.000 No, they weren't.

00:28:22.000 I mean, that's not even close to what it was.

00:28:25.000 It was straight up anarchy, arson, looting, robbery, destruction of civil society.

00:28:31.000 I mean, burning a Wendy's is not done in the memory of George Floyd or going out of Louis Baton store.

00:28:37.000 Go ahead, one minute.

00:28:38.000 Yeah, even if they said they were protesting for black lives, oh, that's fine. 1.00

00:28:44.000 They should bear in mind right now that these vaccine passport systems in Canada disparately impact blacks, Latinos, indigenous.

00:28:51.000 They disparately impact the very minorities who are least likely to be vaccinated because of previous historical atrocities committed by the very same government that is now telling them to shut up and take the shot.

00:29:00.000 So people should appreciate that.

00:29:02.000 These measures that the truckers are protesting are measures that themselves have a disparate impact on Canada's minority population, and people just don't seem to appreciate that.

00:29:12.000 We're back to the government knows what minorities should be doing with their body, do it, and who knows, maybe in 20 years' time, they will be apologizing for these historical atrocities the way the current government is apologizing for atrocities committed by previous governments.

00:29:28.000 If you're like me and my team here, you're spending countless hours in front of a computer screen or on a smartphone, and that can really do some damage for your eyes.

00:29:36.000 You might suffer from headaches, sore eyes, digital eye strain, watery eyes, and fatigue.

00:29:40.000 And how about your sleep?

00:29:42.000 I didn't realize how much eye strain can hamper me from getting a restful night's sleep.

00:29:46.000 But now I've discovered blue blocks, blue light glasses.

00:29:50.000 That's blue blocks, blue light glasses.

00:29:53.000 I know better.

00:29:54.000 The glasses come in non-prescription, prescription, and reading options.

00:29:57.000 They have glasses for every need you can think of.

00:30:00.000 They have stylish frames that have been featured in GQ and Vogue, but more importantly, they are backed by technology and tested to ensure they are the best.

00:30:07.000 Blue Light for helping with digital eye strain, Summerglow for helping with low mood and migraines, and Sleep Plus for improving your sleep.

00:30:15.000 Mention my name, Charlie, and get 15% off your entire order.

00:30:18.000 Go to blueblocks.com backlash Charlie to order.

00:30:21.000 That's blueblocks.com backlash Charlie.

00:30:25.000 They might just, they may just change your life and there's no risk because there's a 100% money-back guarantee.

00:30:30.000 That's blue blocks backlash Charlie.

00:30:33.000 Check it out right now.

00:30:36.000 Viva, let me ask you, they're protesting being able to go to one country to the other.

00:30:41.000 I was thinking of stopping by in Ottawa, but I'm an unvaccinated person.

00:30:46.000 And as an American, they could potentially detain me.

00:30:49.000 I mean, it's a totally different set of circumstances.

00:30:52.000 Am I right?

00:30:53.000 It's over the top.

00:30:57.000 But in fairness, the United States now imposes the same requirement on non-American foreigners who travel to the U.S.

00:31:05.000 But no, even before, like this goes back to last year, Justin Trudeau implemented his hotel quarantine or his quarantine hotels in federally designated detention facilities.

00:31:18.000 They literally imposed a requirement on anybody coming in, including Canadians, to be detained against their will and sometimes in an undisclosed location in these government-designated hotel quarantine hotels.

00:31:32.000 And, you know, I don't care what euphemism you give that.

00:31:34.000 That's, that's prison.

00:31:35.000 That's a federal detention center that they put you in for, it was like 24 to 72 hours until you get a negative test.

00:31:45.000 And they make you pay for the luxury as well, 2,000 bucks at the time.

00:31:48.000 And the courts upheld it.

00:31:49.000 The courts upheld the quarantine hotel system that Justin Trudeau put into effect.

00:31:55.000 So I can understand a lot of people don't want to come to Canada.

00:31:58.000 And I've got to tell you, if I'm not Canadian, I'm not coming here either.

00:32:03.000 Vaccinated or not.

00:32:04.000 I'm not living in a place where the government can and has been doing this to people.

00:32:10.000 But Justin Trudeau never wanted to let a good situation not escalate so that he can show his power.

00:32:16.000 He's just been flexing his muscles harder and harder, but it's producing the exact opposite response to what he presumably thought would have been the response.

00:32:25.000 Public opinion, what has changed when it comes to Canadians' view of all this?

00:32:31.000 It's split because I know this from my own personal milieu.

00:32:35.000 It's split.

00:32:35.000 Some people are starting to see how the media has been lying to them.

00:32:39.000 Others are just, you know, with a sense of entitlement that comes only from thinking truck drivers exist to drive your stuff.

00:32:47.000 Nurses exist to do their job. 0.98

00:32:49.000 These are not choices.

00:32:50.000 These are obligations and they're obligations that provide me, the elite, entitlements.

00:32:56.000 I've seen way too many people saying, take their licenses away, take their cars away, punish it.

00:33:02.000 And I asked them when I was going through, it's like, you know, you hear people saying, pull your insurance, pull your licenses.

00:33:07.000 And they say, what's that going to change?

00:33:09.000 As it is now, that's why we're here.

00:33:11.000 You've got nothing to take from us that is of a sufficient threat because you've basically taken our livelihoods anyhow.

00:33:17.000 And so the sentiment among the general population is split.

00:33:22.000 In Ottawa proper, residents seem to be, by my count, 50-50 split.

00:33:27.000 Some support it, some don't.

00:33:29.000 The further you get from it, I'm noticing that more people don't support it because they're walking around thinking that this convoy is nothing but a bunch of Nazis and Confederate flags walking around parliament under siege, not appreciating it is it is more multicultural from what I've seen than parliament itself.

00:33:46.000 Children are running around dancing.

00:33:48.000 People are hugging.

00:33:49.000 People are smiling.

00:33:50.000 People are telling me that their faces hurt from smiling so much because they haven't smiled this much in two years, that it's the first time in two years they felt hope, patriotism, and they felt proud to be Canadian.

00:34:00.000 And I think everybody, whether you like this movement or not, whether you think you like it or you think you hate it, go down for the day and see it for yourself and then come to your own conclusion.

00:34:09.000 Because there's too many people saying these are extremists, shut them down and shut them up.

00:34:14.000 And they have no idea what is actually going down.

00:34:15.000 Well, yeah.

00:34:16.000 And the whole Nazi Confederate thing, I could almost guarantee you those were fake ops. 0.64

00:34:20.000 I mean, it's just like they were crinkled flags.

00:34:21.000 Like, what would a Confederate flag have to do with Canada? 0.98

00:34:23.000 The whole thing is so ridiculous. 0.56

00:34:25.000 If there were two of them, and I mean, two individuals, one of whom was the only guy wearing a face mask, a ski mask, like you would use to rob a bank and had sunglasses on. 0.97

00:34:35.000 The only thing you saw was his mouth.

00:34:36.000 And he's there with the Confederate flag.

00:34:38.000 Like it's illogical.

00:34:40.000 And the other person carrying a swastika happened to have a camera person within three feet of him, despite being on the fringe outside of this protest.

00:34:47.000 And they were the only two.

00:34:48.000 Those are the only two images.

00:34:50.000 This thing is being documented by multiple live streamers in real time. 0.99

00:34:54.000 Those are the only two idiotic images that anyone's pulled from this protest. 0.98

00:34:57.000 And the media and the politicians run with it, tweet it, retweet it, promote it like it's the rule. 0.98

00:35:02.000 And by the way, the guy with the Confederate flag and the ski mask, I personally know the individual who told him to get out of there that nobody wanted to see him.

00:35:09.000 I know that individual personally.

00:35:10.000 So these people are not even welcome at this protest.

00:35:13.000 They don't want anyone violent.

00:35:14.000 They don't want anyone disruptive. 1.00

00:35:16.000 They don't even want people getting too drunk and misbehaving, even incidentally, because you know damn well the CBC and the other legacy news are going to pick that example and say, Look at this rowdy, drunk idiots. 0.99

00:35:26.000 This has nothing to do with freedom, it has to do with partying and getting drunk. 0.97

00:35:30.000 So it is quite a time to be alive.

00:35:33.000 Viva, thank you so much.

00:35:34.000 God bless you.
