Two young men were arrested outside a public library in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, for praying outside a drag queen story hour for zero to eight year olds. They were not charged by the police. What happened? What was their crime? What did they do wrong? And why did they get away with it?
00:00:00.000Well, honestly, from the fear aspect, especially with the LGBTQ community, there's the aspect of they're kind of like a mafia where they come to you and they threaten it.
00:00:08.920They say, you know, we'll offer you protection. We'll offer you seclusion from the rest of this.
00:00:13.200We won't attack you. But in exchange, don't cross us.
00:00:16.820Do you remember the two young men a few weeks ago who were arrested or at least accosted by police outside of one of these drag queen story hours for zero to eight year olds outside of a public library in Calgary, Alberta, Canada?
00:00:38.740Well, I brought them on here today to explain a few things to us, to tell us the story of what happened.
00:00:45.560If you recall, we did a little coverage of that at LifeSite News and you saw this mob of Antifa there protesting them, but they weren't arrested.
00:00:55.740They weren't charged by police, as was one of the young men.
00:01:00.340What happens here? What's going on in Canada?
00:01:04.080These are young men. They're inspiring young men.
00:01:07.120You know what? These young men, I had a conversation with them, which I'm going to let you into now.
00:01:11.960They were inspired also by Josh Alexander.
00:01:14.140One of them, though, is probably pretty well known to many of us in that he is the son of Archer Pavlovsky.
00:01:22.680Nathaniel Pavlovsky, 23 year old, is the son of Archer Pavlovsky, who I've had on the show before.
00:01:29.460He was the one who was strident that his church would stay open and that the authorities had no right during COVID to say, you know, shut down.
00:01:40.440We're not going to let you meet. And he was standing up for the truth.
00:01:44.980He was arrested kind of brutally. He was jailed.
00:01:48.640But, you know, watching that example has inspired greatness in his son.
00:01:53.740And there's another young man here whose name is Declan Friesen.
00:01:56.920And he's only 18. And he, too, has been inspired by his dad.
00:02:01.660So these are young men standing up for the faith.
00:02:08.200They were reading the scriptures and they were preaching outside.
00:02:12.200And they were preaching, no, not a message of hatred, but a message of love.
00:02:17.980And yeah, about the truths of Christ, but willing to take the label, willing to take the stigma for the love they have for others, especially the love they have for Jesus Christ.
00:02:29.880Stay tuned for this episode of The John Henry Weston Show.
00:02:32.540Hey, friends, before we continue, you need to know of a crazy new development.
00:02:40.140Some of the largest stores in the world are now sending opt-out messages ahead of Mother's Day, allowing consumers the opportunity to ignore Mother's Day and to avoid honoring their own mothers during the month of May.
00:03:05.360Therefore, in ignoring Mother's Day in May, it's a scandal.
00:03:10.620And my pledge to you from all of us here at LifeSite is that we will never stop honoring the unique role of motherhood as woke elites reduce all mothers to birthing persons.
00:03:22.600If you agree that motherhood is sacred, empower us at LifeSite to proclaim the value of motherhood this month with renewed force and faithfulness.
00:03:31.700Big tech and mainstream media believe themselves powerful enough to ignore the very base that supports them.
00:03:39.320But unlike them, we at LifeSite honor you.
00:03:42.460We celebrate motherhood in our mission to build a pro-life generation for our children and grandchildren.
00:03:48.060During the month of May, donate to LifeSite News in the honored memory of your mother, living or deceased, knowing that LifeSite will pray for you and your mother.
00:03:58.720And if you'd like, we will send you a card telling your mom of your donation in her honor.
00:04:04.160So please be sure to leave your name and your mother's name in the donation form in the link below.
00:05:06.500Well, we decided to go to a drag event because what led to it was a pastor by the name of Derek Reimer was opposed to this agenda, this drag reading, story hour, shows for children.
00:05:20.880And he was arrested several times now.
00:07:09.840We actually went into it expecting to be arrested.
00:07:12.760But we were only charged and ticketed.
00:07:16.280But, yeah, no, it does show the double standard.
00:07:19.760Because Antifa, these pro-LGBT activists were protesting us.
00:07:26.340And the law states, I mean, this law came into effect after Derek Reimer's first arrest.
00:07:31.500This rogue mayor in the city of Calgary decided to pass an unconstitutional bylaw that states you're not allowed to protest if you have certain beliefs.
00:07:41.000So, if you're a Christian and you want to protest against a drag event, you're not allowed within 100 meters of that event.
00:07:46.720Even though you're on public ground, public sidewalk, that's protected by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, you're not allowed to do that, according to them.
00:18:42.960To celebrate the momentous overturning of Roe v. Wade, we at LifeSite have minted just under 10,000 of these brand new limited edition pro-life silver rounds.
00:18:51.620Now, each round is stamped with the image of the Supreme Court of the United States, featuring the date that the high court delivered this historic victory.
00:18:59.400And on the front of our pure silver rounds, LifeSite's logo surrounded by a brilliant sunburst and draped with olive branches.
00:19:05.280They, of course, commemorate our 25-year anniversary of LifeSite News.
00:19:24.040You know, I had a conversation here with my studio manager, and he told me about three aspects that the world kind of uses now to work on us.
00:19:36.100And they are fear and confusion and lust, all sort of working together to, you know, totally destabilize culture.
00:19:49.200Obviously, with the whole COVID thing and with the, you know, the environmental crisis and blah, blah, blah, climate change going to end the planet, we've been using fear for so long.
00:20:01.800I mean, it's got to such an extreme state during COVID.
00:20:05.140That was really the, if anybody didn't believe they were using fear porn, it's been called or whatever, they could see it then.
00:20:13.200And then massive, massive confusion everywhere.
00:20:18.060And just lying from our politicians, even blatantly so, when they've said one thing, you know, 10 minutes later, they say something else.
00:20:26.040But then it's funny because it comes into this culture that's already so polluted with lust.
00:20:32.700Like so many people, especially young men, addicted to porn and whatever else.
00:20:37.600And all of that makes for human beings who just can't think straight anymore.
00:20:44.080I'd love to hear your thoughts on that.
00:20:45.740Well, honestly, from the fear aspect, especially with the LGBTQ community, there's the aspect of they're kind of like a mafia where they come to you and they threaten it.
00:20:55.800They say, you know, we'll offer you protection.
00:20:57.460We'll offer you seclusion from the rest of this.
00:21:16.360So there is a huge fear factor hanging over people where you don't want to speak against us because we'll do exactly what happened to us during when we were preaching.
00:21:26.460You know, I was I started with a prayer and it's loud on the video.
00:21:31.020But in real life, the screams that came up, they will attack you with full force.
00:21:36.580But the Bible says that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and sound mind.
00:21:42.360And that's important to remember when they come at you with this, that, okay, the one who is with me is greater than he who is on the earth.
00:21:48.280I think that's very important to remember.
00:21:49.800Yeah, the West has gravitated towards this sexual perversion.
00:21:54.960This I believe it's a spirit of sexual confusion.
00:22:00.460This gender bending, mutilating children, changing their gender, putting them on hormone blockers.
00:22:05.120It's all designed to pervert what God created, pervert that family unit, because a strong family means a strong economy, strong middle class, strong nation.
00:22:16.140Our country was built on Judeo-Christian values, and they just want to do everything in their power to pervert that.
00:22:21.720And an easy way to do that is through lust, is through sexual perversion.
00:22:28.060That's what crumbled the Roman Empire.
00:22:29.500That's what crumbled Babylon, sexual perversion.
00:22:31.860And that's what we're seeing in Canada and the United States today.
00:22:35.120Yeah, it's incredible that, you know, that sort of lay the foundation for going more and more crazy.
00:22:41.920You know, when you guys were still children and this war was being fought, a lot of people warned, we're going to get to a day when there won't only be same-sex marriage.
00:24:02.680If you give them an inch, they'll take a mile.
00:24:04.500If you give them a finger, they'll take your hand.
00:24:06.140And it's like with Nazi Germany, it didn't just happen overnight.
00:24:10.880That was a long agenda that took actually years in the making of indoctrinating the youth and changing society, influencing this one little law at a time.
00:24:21.200And then eventually you're just numb and immune to all of this.
00:24:24.380And you just start to accept it because it comes in incrementally slowly.
00:24:50.500These aren't just angry men and women, you know, feeling that their rights have been hurt or whatever, whatever.
00:24:57.340There is a spirit behind it, just as there is a spirit behind abortion.
00:25:01.100Because a lot of people think, you know what, with enough political clout and maneuvering and smarts and, you know, we have to play the political game.
00:26:10.300So if he can't get to the children through murdering them through abortion, well, then he's going to indoctrinate them after so that he can make them his slaves.
00:26:20.240One of the things that is very difficult in today's day and age, and I'm speaking to two young men, is exactly that.
00:26:29.820The man standing up and doing what he needs to do for faith, for family, and standing up and being a leader.
00:26:38.480And that's challenging today because we're not taught that.
00:26:44.000But more than that, a man is called to be the spiritual leader of his home.
00:26:50.880Now, I know, Nathaniel, your dad is Artur Pawlowski and, you know, a preacher who is very willing to speak the truth, even amidst the hardships of COVID.
00:27:06.820But tell me for you two, what does that mean to you to be the spiritual leader of your home?
00:27:11.860Well, right now, we see that there's no men in Canada.
00:27:26.800And that is to be the defenders, the provider, the head of the household.
00:27:30.900And right now, we see that being perverted completely.
00:27:33.800It's switched so that women are put on this pedestal and men are berated and said they're lesser, you know, they use buzzwords like toxic masculinity and stuff because they want to destroy strong men.
00:27:47.520If you have strong men, you have a strong nation.
00:27:49.800You have men that are willing to fight against this and stand up.
00:27:52.640And we don't have men in this country anymore.
00:28:25.480And we wanted to organize an event where we were seeing some chatter where people were saying, well, we're just brainwashed by our fathers.
00:28:30.900And we don't have any free will or choice in this.
00:28:34.500And and they're calling all the shots.
00:28:35.980We're like, no, actually, we're men now, too.
00:28:38.200And our fathers have given us an excellent example.
00:30:35.940But we have all grace, all truth through Jesus Christ and an ability to vanquish Satan with Christ that, you know, Satan doesn't stand a chance.
00:30:51.580Any final thoughts for Canada, for where we are as Canada and for young people?
00:30:56.860I believe it's a time where to be a good man, it's not enough to just have those beliefs and keep them to yourselves in the household.
00:31:07.340You have to bring that into the public square because we're in a point right now where if you don't start doing that, you don't start presenting the lie or presenting the truth to the lie.
00:31:48.160I don't want to essentially just offend people.
00:31:51.500And I said it in my speech on that day.
00:31:54.100I said, if someone is on a train track and a train is coming, it's not the time to think, well, I don't want to hurt their feelings by raising my voice.
00:32:01.960I don't want to offend them by saying, hey, you're literally on the wrong track.
00:33:24.980That was, you know, done not only to hurt, which they did hurt him throwing in the sack.
00:33:30.460I remember talking to your dad about how they threw him into the police car, like upside down sort of, and then left him in the horrible cell.
00:33:38.600I mean, actual physical persecution meant to break you down.
00:33:44.760But you're standing in that shadow cast by your dad and a very strong example.
00:33:51.800It's beautiful to see the both of you not taking his place because he's still there, but coming up in the courage that he's shown and taking example from that.
00:34:11.180Yeah, we started something called True Dominion Canada.
00:34:13.700You can go to truedominioncanada.ca or we're on YouTube.
00:34:17.040Rumble, actually Rumble is preferred right now because YouTube censors a lot.
00:34:20.800But we're on everything, Twitter and all of it.
00:34:23.660So we do like podcast night, short videos, and ultimately what we want to do is activism.
00:34:31.200So we want to gain, garner the attention of the young people so that we can actually start tangibly doing stuff to help better our nation, to stand for our rights and freedoms, to stand for moral truths.
