The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Absurd： Liberals claim Poilievre opposes press freedom!

00:00:00.000 I don't know what it is about the Liberal Party of Canada. I guess they like being shredded on the

00:00:04.360 internet, but they keep posting the absolute dumbest things to social media, assuming they're

00:00:08.960 going to get some propaganda value out of it when they've really just created the perfect hoop for

00:00:13.040 conservatives to dunk on. Right now, the Liberal Party of Canada is trying to claim that Conservative

00:00:18.700 Party leader Pierre Polyev is a threat to the free press and is far-right. This is what they

00:00:24.420 seriously posted on X from their official account. It reads, just like far-right American politicians,

00:00:30.900 when Pierre Polyev doesn't like a question or things don't go his way, he attacks journalists

00:00:34.820 and our free press. That's not leadership. So because Pierre Polyev doesn't like government

00:00:40.960 subsidized journalists trying to ask him smear questions, accusing him of being far-right,

00:00:46.240 that makes him far-right for taking issue with the questions and going after the journalists who ask

00:00:51.760 them. Remember, Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party just did this last week.

00:00:57.240 Mr. Freeland, how come the IRDC is not a terrorist group? Why is your government supporting Islamo 1.00

00:01:04.620 nationality? What? You've been mixed in? What are you doing? You're under arrest for assault?

00:01:10.500 Why are you pushing me? You're under arrest for assault. You're under arrest for assault.

00:01:15.680 The liberal government took Rebel News co-founder, Ezra Levant, to court because he wrote a book,

00:01:26.260 The Liberanos, critical of the Liberal Party and released it during the 2019 election and had the

00:01:31.520 temerity to advertise his own book during the election. That is insane. There was dozens of

00:01:37.740 other books that were pro-liberal released during that election. None of those people were taken to

00:01:42.800 court and Ezra Levant lost that because our court system is completely screwed. But the liberals also

00:01:49.100 have forced True North and Rebel News to have to sue every single election cycle that they've run in

00:01:55.520 in order to get into the official debates because the liberals block them from being able to actually

00:02:01.040 ask the leaders questions after the official debates. This is not a pro-free press government and

00:02:06.560 it's so obvious to everyone. It's the reason why in this post right here about Polyev, there is 3,200,

00:02:14.160 over 3,200 comments and there was only 908 likes. That is a textbook ratio. I have a comment underneath

00:02:22.500 that post and it has like 540 likes. I'm almost getting to, I'm over half of what the liberals have

00:02:29.060 in terms of their likes and I'm just some random reply in the comments. Everyone knows that the liberals

00:02:34.720 are full of it. Bill C-18, Bill C-11 are not meant to, you know, strengthen the free press like the

00:02:41.080 liberals say. I can't use my Facebook account for the National Telegraph. It had 75,000 people following

00:02:47.200 it. That's why I do this YouTube show because I can't write and distribute articles anymore. Bill C-11

00:02:52.620 is going to start determining who's Canadian enough to actually have their own content discoverable

00:02:58.240 on platforms like YouTube and other sort of social media platforms. Insanity. These people

00:03:04.280 hate the free press in reality. That's why they subsidize the press because any press, the only

00:03:09.820 press that they want to be around is stuff like the CBC. Stuff that pretends to be right down the

00:03:15.440 middle and centrist or at least non-partisan and then just sort of subtly moves you in that liberal

00:03:20.660 direction. The liberals hate the free press. That is why there's, they've had way more run-ins with

00:03:25.880 Rebel News than just that one with David Menzies. They've had a lot of their bodyguards manhandle

00:03:30.180 Rebel News journalists for trying to ask questions. You will get a lot of lawsuit threats from liberal,

00:03:35.320 from the Liberal Party if you try and report on anything. Andrew Scheer, the Conservative Party in

00:03:40.980 2019, Andrew Scheer, got sued by the Liberal Party for accurately spreading information about the SNC-Lavalin

00:03:48.780 scandal. The liberals do not like the truth. They do not like the free press. They consider the free

00:03:54.580 press anything that is free of actual independent thought. If you are taking enough government money

00:04:00.280 that you are scared of actually accurately portraying the truth, then the liberals consider

00:04:07.020 you the free press. Justin Trudeau is full of crap. He doesn't care about the free press in Canada

00:04:13.120 or around the world. The man is a propagandist at heart. And think about from Christian Freeland's

00:04:19.440 perspective, how disgusting it is that she has still not apologized to David Menzies for that

00:04:24.400 police officer, obviously under orders by her office to arrest anyone who tries to actually ask

00:04:30.280 her a question. Because why else would a police officer randomly, artificially generate that

00:04:35.020 confrontation to get a false assault arrest going against David Menzies? Think about it from

00:04:40.680 Freeland's perspective. She used to be a journalist herself. In Eastern Europe, where free press

00:04:46.180 is not always respected, you think that she in Canada would have a strong need to be able to 0.84

00:04:55.180 protect the press, make sure that they can operate just like she was generally allowed to operate when

00:05:00.220 she was a journalist. Nah, nah. As soon as she's actually in office, she could care less. She will 1.00

00:05:06.520 never answer an independent media person's question. And she will definitely not want them to come to one

00:05:11.960 of her official press events. But pure Polyev, because he doesn't like being accused of being

00:05:16.460 far right, is dangerous anti-free press and indeed far right. So you're, you know, you're damned if you

00:05:22.700 do, damned if you don't. If you are, if you say that you're not far right to a journalist accusing you of

00:05:27.760 being far right and you go after them for lying, that indeed makes you far right. So this, again,

00:05:32.500 remember, this is something that they use to portray pure Polyev as anti-free press.

00:05:38.140 On the, on the topic, I mean, in terms of your sort of strategy, currently, you're obviously taking

00:05:44.880 the populist pathway. What does that mean? Well, appealing, appealing to people's more emotional

00:05:53.720 levels, I would guess. I mean, certainly, certainly you, certainly you tap, certainly you tap very

00:05:59.380 strong ideological language quite frequently. Like what? Uh, left wing, you know, this and that,

00:06:06.800 right wing, you know, I mean, it's that, that type of ideological thing. I never really talk about

00:06:10.980 left or right. Anyways, a lot of people. I don't really believe in that. Okay. A lot of people would,

00:06:14.940 would say that you're simply taking a page out of the Donald Trump, uh, book. Like which people

00:06:20.280 would say that? Well, I'm sure a great many. That makes pure Polyev far right because he pushes back

00:06:27.440 against journalists. And it really demonstrates just how bad the media landscape has been in

00:06:32.980 Canada for the past decade. It's just assumed that conservatives will just accept the smear

00:06:37.920 questions given to them like Aaron O'Toole and Andrew Scheer did. So if you actually end up, you

00:06:43.580 know, standing up for yourself the way pure Polyev does, that's over the line. That's not how things

00:06:48.360 should work. That's far right. The liberals are complete clowns. And I think people are seeing

00:06:53.120 through it. That's why I think this posted far more damage to the liberals than they actually

00:06:57.700 got any sort of propaganda value out of it. And the article that this was all based on is from

00:07:02.040 the National Observer, which is just a clown outlet to even be like citing. It's as bad as press

00:07:08.060 progress is. It's just, you know, I'm not sure who wrote that article. I'd love to go over now and

00:07:13.380 read it. But the idea that somehow pushing back against a journalist and taking issue with their

00:07:18.740 questions is at all unacceptable. If the liberals take issue with the Rebel News, True North question,

00:07:23.540 National Post question, that's perfectly legitimate. Even if the journalist is accurate, 0.95

00:07:27.740 you can take issue with anything you want. It's a free country, but not exactly, you know,

00:07:32.280 free for the free press in the liberals mind, only free for subsidized media. Oh, anyways,

00:07:38.440 sorry for the rant. Anyways, I have my usual give, send, go link in the description of this video.

00:07:42.940 If you want to support our, the National Telegraph's, you know, right to report the news,

00:07:47.340 you can give money to that legal fund. We're being sued by a billionaire who doesn't like

00:07:51.680 us doing accurate reporting on him and his donation history. So if you want to help support us and sort

00:07:57.900 of loosen in the burden of our $25,000 legal bills, donating there really helps us out. And then I

00:08:03.560 myself, I'm running for the Calgary Signal Hill Conservative Party nomination. So if you live in the

00:08:08.400 riding of Calgary Signal Hill, it's this one right here. Make sure to buy a Conservative Party membership or

00:08:13.660 get any of your friends who are living the riding to buy a membership because we want real Conservatives

00:08:18.880 and independent media people to be in the next Conservative government to roll back all this

00:08:23.120 anti-free speech garbage that the liberals have shoveled on to us. Anyways, that should be it for

00:08:29.400 me today. And there will be a live stream later today with me and Daniel Boardman. So if you got to

00:08:34.200 this point of the video, make sure to check back in around 8 p.m. Eastern, 6 p.m. Mountain,

00:08:39.540 and we might have started a live stream by then. So other than that, I hope everyone has a great day.
