In the wake of David Menzies' fake arrest by police for asking a question to Canadian Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, the legacy media and liberal supporters have been quick to point the finger at someone else. Is this a case of the police overstepping their authority? Or is there a deeper issue at work?
00:00:00.000Apparently, liberal supporters and liberal media didn't heed my advice from a few videos back and stopped talking about situations that makes their own political side look really bad.
00:00:09.900Conspiratorial liberal Truanon supporters and the legacy media actually believes that they can convince you that rebel news reporter David Menzies was at fault for being manhandled and arrested by police for just simply trying to ask Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland a question about the liberal's soft-on terrorism policy.
00:00:27.060I want to show you the clip of David Menzies' arrest again just to set up how ridiculous a lot of the takes from online liberal supporters and even places like CBC have been in response to this fake arrest.
00:00:39.160Again, and remember, the officer who did this is now under investigation and the assault charge against David Menzies was dropped only three hours after this took place.
00:00:48.560Ms. Freeland, how come the IRDC is not a terrorist group? Why is your government supporting Islamo-nationalities?
00:00:57.060What are you doing? What are you doing? You're under arrest for assault? Why are you pushing me? You're under arrest for assault. You're under arrest for assault.
00:01:07.060I don't need to stop. What are you talking about?
00:01:08.760A completely ridiculous situation, but the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on their political panel believes that they can spin this in such a way to actually make it a very neutral situation.
00:01:20.060Well, you know, maybe there was a justification for manhandling a reporter and arresting them immediately for asking a single question.
00:01:27.960So here's their panel right here jabbering on about how maybe there's a deeper context behind what happened here.
00:01:34.900We'll just queue up the tape where you see that the monkey steps in a little bit towards Menzies and he bumps, who bumps into him before minister.
00:01:43.900I like how he even had to correct himself there and say, oh, David Menzies, who bumped into him?
00:01:48.520No, it was the officer who bumped into David Menzies.
00:01:51.340If you walk directly up in front of someone and then immediately stop and they bump into you because they are trying to walk, that's actually your fault.
00:01:57.680But, you know, in the CBC's mind, the officer said he bumped into him.
00:02:02.540So that must be true, even though the charge was dropped.
00:02:05.280Freeland, you know, moves to the other side of the pillar and then Menzies said, excuse me.
00:02:09.320Then he's told he's being arrested for assault.
00:02:12.380Now, I've banged in to the prime minister's security detail, Matthew, a few times and type things.
00:02:30.820Guys, guys, Chrystia Freeland's a woman.
00:02:33.680That means that there might be a justification for manhandling reporters who try and ask her questions.
00:02:38.900They should have maybe just shot David Menzies on the site because he is a man trying to ask a female politician a question.
00:02:46.220This was just utterly pathetic coverage from the CBC.
00:02:49.460I know this is supposed to be a more political show.
00:02:51.760Isn't that man supposed to be the neutral host trying to set up such easy questions for these liberal panelists to pretend away any abuse of power here?
00:03:01.460For assaulting a police officer and then later release.
00:03:18.100This clip might have happened before that, but there's no excuse to pretend as if the assault charge was legitimate, even just right after David Menzies was released.
00:03:36.360It's a good question, but I think there's a few things that are important context.
00:03:40.140I think the first is a point that Michelle raised earlier about not knowing the full threat context around, you know, Minister Freeland in this case, and obviously politicians more generally.
00:03:51.320There's definitely a jumpiness that Emily alluded to as well.
00:03:57.380Because if you watch the clip of David getting arrested, Chrystia is walking back from an event by herself in this instant.
00:04:04.640If there was, like, terror threats against her, there was people sending death threats, do you think that she would have been able to walk any distance without security right there next to her?
00:04:14.640She is not under a significant threat.
00:04:16.580And obviously, as soon as David walked up, as Rebel News, with the microphone wanting to ask a question, I assume that David hasn't become a terrorist in the past week and that he's going to go and try to attack a liberal politician.
00:04:30.640I think it comes into play when there's certain factors to consider.
00:04:33.840And listen, I mean, it's I don't want to do a sports instant replay thing here on the video, but you wonder sometimes if the individual in question is deliberately being confrontational with security detail in a way to your point.
00:04:48.240Guys, David Menzies was wearing a short skirt and he was asking for it.
00:04:52.680He was basically begging to have his skull caved in because he asked Chrystia Freeland a question.
00:05:00.900They get $1.3 billion a year to deliver you content like this.
00:05:06.360A hundred percent of the CBC should be defunded.
00:05:09.260That not like they should be allowed to operate, obviously, as any free press should.
00:05:13.580But they shouldn't be getting taxpayer money for this swill of coverage.
00:05:18.460You know, even alluding to yourself, David, would not be.
00:05:21.880You know, it's clear when it's an accident versus someone who's trying to be confrontational for the purpose of the of the format that these individuals are engaged in and the subsequent fundraising campaigns and social media attention that it garners among.
00:05:36.340So because Rebel News might benefit from the fundraiser that then occurs after the false arrest to fund their lawsuit against the police, this means that somehow the entire situation is now illegitimate.
00:05:50.400That even though David was arrested, like, you know, unlawfully and then released and now the officers under investigation, there's an angle here in which because it's Rebel News, who cares?
00:06:01.720And I want to get to some posts from Liberals later where they pretty much just say, yeah, they're not real news, so you can abuse them.
00:06:13.900And we've mentioned it a few times that the Conservative deputy leader now, of all people, then candidate Melissa Lansman, was also involved in a similar incident.
00:06:22.540So when you see a pattern begin to emerge, you do start to.
00:06:26.140And guess what? Back then when Melissa Lansman called the police and had David arrested, that was also bad.
00:06:32.000That was also a politician refusing to ask a question.
00:06:35.220And instead of just saying, I don't want to answer your question or giving an actual answer, she called the police and had David arrested.
00:06:42.220Even that situation was at least a little bit more legitimate since it was a private cordoned off event.
00:06:48.940But the idea that, well, two wrongs, basically this guy's trying to make the argument that two wrongs make a who cares.
00:06:54.300That who cares what happens to David Menzies because someone else called the police on David before.
00:06:59.660Question, the way that the individual behaves, you start to wonder what, you know, how the individual is being perceived.
00:07:07.040I suspect that there's a conversation to be had about whether, you know, the the security detail needs to be better briefed about individuals like this if they are going to be getting into these types of.
00:07:18.640Oh, yeah. Don't don't don't falsely arrest the individual if they can fight back.
00:07:22.360I know that's not what he's saying, but in context, that's effectively what he's saying that because David Menzies and Rebel News can actually fight back against both of the abuse of power by individual cops trying to get themselves some form of like some form of like, you know, goodwill with the Liberal Party, maybe a promotion that because that Rebel News can actually document it.
00:07:44.500Don't do it. That only do it when they're only holding a pad of paper or when you can knock the camera of their hands beforehand.
00:07:49.700Again, he's not saying that. But by implication, that's effectively the the idea of like what he's saying is that because Rebel News will publicize what's happening, that that's why you shouldn't act in this way.
00:08:02.680Not that the action itself was really bad. But now I want to move on to every one of the worst news commentators online, Dean Blundell, who's going to somehow expose that this video was somehow faked.
00:08:16.160And also David Menzies probably had it coming. Anyways, look at this. This is truly one of the stupid things I've ever seen.
00:08:23.060This guy fancies himself as an extremely intellectual liberal.
00:08:27.640Good morning, everybody. Good morning. Internet's on fire this morning because fake news outlet, Rebel News, totally fake news.
00:08:36.580They're just an exclusive agent lobby group of the Conservative Party of Canada, and they're funded by some pretty dark organizations.
00:08:43.060We all know that, right, Ezra? How about you name some of them, Dean, rather than just trying to poison the well before moving on to justifying why David Menzies should be manhandled and arrested?
00:08:53.880Anyway, David Menzies, who's this fake news reporter, he's a crisis actor, who literally gets paid, if you Google David Menzies arrested, he gets paid to get arrested so that his boss, Ezra Levent, who is the biggest scammer on the fucking planet, think Andrew Tate only with real peeping Tom vibes.
00:09:15.020Anyway, just for some context, Dean Blundell had made weird sexual comments about minors when he was back on the radio doing sports broadcasting.
00:09:26.100Anyway, so interesting because David Menzies got arrested yesterday after he effectively attacked an RCMP officer, on-duty RCMP officer, giving him the old shove you can see in the video, chasing around the Deputy Prime Minister of Canada.
00:10:03.800This is where people don't, I don't want to keep playing this video, because it kind of just goes on in circles from there.
00:10:09.880But the idea that it's somehow like an op, that Rebel News must have paid off this police officer to arrest him.
00:10:16.120I know that's not what he's quite saying.
00:10:17.960What he's saying is that David tried to generate this confrontation in order to fundraise off of it.
00:10:23.300If, again, so David, so all he's proving is that David Menzies might know that this police officer is corrupt and will arrest him for literally anything.
00:10:36.540Is that, that would be like saying, like, you know, look at this Jewish person being arrested in Nazi Germany in World War II.
00:10:43.500He knows that if he goes outside being Jewish and all that, he's going to get arrested.
00:10:47.680Okay, the proving the point that the cops are going to arrest someone for doing nothing wrong and that the person proved it by doing nothing wrong in front of the cop and getting arrested does not turn this into a, you know, well, he should, he knew he had, he had it coming for even attempting to, he had it coming somehow.
00:11:10.600And here's the guy who has been posting a lot of these clips trying to justify the actions against Menzies.
00:11:16.060He posted this clip acting as if, if he slows down the footage enough, like it's the Zapruder film of JFK's assassination, that you'll eventually believe they could do wrong.
00:11:33.060If you can't see that, his TikTok video or the TikTok video he clipped says rebel news reporter David Menzies aggressively rams into RCMP officer.
00:11:41.700Man, if two people bump into each other on the street, this guy must call it a genocide because they lightly bumped into each other with the cop instigating it by, for no reason, stepping up in front of him and then immediately stopping.
00:12:03.700That's not how real life works, but the liberals here are willing to twist how real life works in order to try and deprive the conservatives of a situation where they were right about an abuse of power.
00:12:16.660This is what I mean by the true and on left.
00:12:19.240True and on is the conspiratorial wing of the liberal party.
00:12:22.640And they believe that no matter what, the liberals can never be wrong about anything and the conservatives can never be right about anything.
00:12:28.860So despite how bulletproof the evidence is that this police officer acted badly to the point he is being investigated, there must be something going on that justifies beating up David Menzies.
00:12:41.420Anyways, I just want to, before I get to some other clips, I just want to do a quick shameless plug to talk about the fact that I'm running for the Calgary Signal Hill Conservative Party nomination.
00:12:50.580If you live in Calgary Signal Hill, hopefully buy a membership for me and vote for me number one on your ballot whenever the nomination date is called for.
00:12:59.060I am an independent journalist, obviously, and I want more independent journalists to get into government after the next election so we can get rid of all the stupid, censorious, anti-free speech policies of the liberals and actually have people speak out against abuses of power like this by the police against journalists when politicians happen to not want to answer a question.
00:13:19.980And I will 100% call out conservatives if they start trying to treat journalists this way as well.
00:13:25.900The liberals also think, though, that somehow the conservatives are abusive of journalists.
00:13:32.040So in response to all of this, the liberals have put out a fairly embarrassing video trying to pretend as if calling the news or calling any media fake news or calling them out for misrepresentation or lies, that in itself is an attack on the media.
00:13:52.100So the liberals, with nothing better to say in this scenario, is just going to compare PR or Polyev to Trump like they've been doing for the past two months.
00:13:59.660So here is the clip that they put out attempting to buy back the situation where their own security team abused a journalist.
00:14:06.900We have basically a liberal heckler who snuck in here today.
00:14:18.140These newspapers and the media are totally dishonest people, folks. Remember that.
00:14:22.300Contrary to the false and dishonest reporting of the liberal media.
00:14:26.540Yeah, I think the media is the opposition party in many ways.
00:14:29.280I think CP should stop acting as the communications arm of the PMO.
00:14:32.960You know, when I look at the media, how one sided it is, how biased it is.
00:14:37.800Well, first of all, your question was typical of CBC.
00:14:41.460Again, I keep making the joke online, but eventually they're going to accuse pure poly of being Hitler because both of them drank water in their lifetimes.
00:14:50.020I don't know. The liberals literally have clips of their own politicians, both from the NDP and the liberals, attacking conservative journalists as being propaganda.
00:14:59.240You're not a real journalist. You're fake news, blah, blah, blah. You're bigoted, whatever.
00:15:03.560So now just calling out any journalist for doing things that you don't like.
00:15:09.500Also, in these specific situations where Trump is getting into fights with journalists, it's situations where like Jim Acosta is like screaming at him in the middle of a press conference while Trump is trying to deliver remarks.
00:15:20.180And it was usually about things like the Trump-Russia supposed scandal in which it was proven that it was just an incorrect story.
00:15:27.820So is it wrong whenever Trump calls out, you know, fake news, if it's actually fake news?
00:15:33.120It's Trump, so it's always bad for some reason.
00:15:37.540But you get even liberal supporters online posting stuff like this.
00:15:40.400And remember, this is not me just grabbing a couple of cherry-picked posts.
00:15:44.680A lot of these posts from people like Dean Blundell and the other guy posting those CBC clips and the, you know, Zapruder film style slowdown clips of the supposed assault that David Menzies had done against the officer.
00:15:57.980These have hundreds of likes, retweets, and they are just some of the people posting about this.
00:16:04.160There are countless liberals trying to defend the actions here.
00:16:07.180And a lot of people are posting stuff like this.
00:16:09.420Fact, Rebel News isn't an accredited news organization.
00:16:12.740Fact, Rebel News isn't a member of any credible media organization.
00:16:16.640Well, Rebel is its own media organization, so that's weird.
00:16:19.840Also, it's part of the Independent Press Gallery, which is an accredited news agency or news lobby organization.
00:17:14.520But the left has moved to the absurdist position while denying that the liberals are censorious and anti-free speech.
00:17:20.180They also think, oy, do you have a license to report the news?
00:17:23.980They actively think that you should have to have a license in order to actually talk to a politician, write on a notepad in front of them, or record their answer.
00:17:35.320That is a dystopian future that these people are begging for.
00:17:39.700And I don't think that they would like it if the conservatives got into government next, which is very likely.
00:17:44.560And they just start saying, CBC is no longer an accredited news organization.
00:17:57.340But these liberals have convinced themselves that because it was a liberal and their security team who acted badly here, that, you know, it's probably all right.
00:18:06.980It's very funny to watch people digging up the old posts by Justin Trudeau and Christy Freeland and other liberals talking about how they stand against the abuse of the media around the world.
00:18:17.440And that a free press is key to a free democratic society.
00:18:22.700Well, can you guys maybe walk the talk a little bit and have Christy Freeland at least put out a statement saying, yes, that was an abuse by a police officer.
00:18:31.060I didn't want to answer David's question, which is legitimate.
00:18:44.140Because as someone who used to be a journalist in, you know, Eastern Europe where press freedom isn't usually very honored, someone who probably liked whenever the state wouldn't come after them, now she's okay with the state going after other journalists because she's no longer a journalist.
00:18:59.420She's one of the important political people.
00:19:01.380So all of her principles from the past go out the window.
00:19:05.200Anyways, that should be it for me today.
00:19:07.040I have my usual give, send, go link in the description of this video below.
00:19:10.300I'm being sued by a billionaire for this incredibly stupid case where we supposedly defamed him despite the fact that everything we said about him was based on either obviously factual information or things that had been reported about him multiple years before, which he never disputed at the time, legally speaking.
00:19:29.540But he's trying to sue us because he assumed that I, as a 22-year-old at the time when this lawsuit started, wouldn't have been able to pay for a defense.
00:19:37.000And although he's partially right, because it was breaking me fairly financially.
00:19:41.500So if you can contribute to that, it does help me out a lot.
00:19:44.280And then I also just, again, want to plug the fact that I'm running for the Calgary Signal Hill Conservative Party nomination.
00:19:49.700If you live in Calgary Signal Hill or if you know someone who lives in the riding, make sure to buy a party membership and vote for me number one on the ballot.
00:19:56.740We want real conservatives in the next conservative government, not a bunch of people who just are applying to run as candidates because they think it might be a nice, easy, cushy job.
00:20:05.680I think right now the biggest threat to a conservative government is not the Liberals or the NDP resurging in the polls.
00:20:12.880Their fundraising numbers are even worse than their polling deficits.
00:20:16.800But I think that the biggest issue would be too many red Tories getting into the Conservative Party caucus and being these nervous O'Toole types who immediately pump the brakes.
00:20:27.560As soon as Peer Polly wants to actually do real reform to government, then they get scared about the media's reaction or protesters outside their office and immediately start sabotaging the Conservative government's ability to get anything done.
00:20:41.500Anyways, other than that, you'll see me probably here again in another video today.
00:20:45.440Thanks for watching and thanks for supporting the National Telegraph.
