The only thing we're here to address is just the tables from the middle of the sidewalk.
That's it.
But in that coming day, no weapon turned against you will succeed.
You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you.
These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord.
Their vindication will come from me.
I, the Lord, have spoken.
Isaiah 54, 17.
Today's story is about a witch hunt of a man who did no wrong.
He was villainized and victimized by an angry horde of people who sought to stick crimes upon him that he never committed and to accuse him of things he was not guilty of.
The story is not just about a man who lives in a country somewhere far away, but this story is about all of us, considering the horrible crimes committed against us and the atrocities by our governments and by the people around us over the last several years.
Welcome back to Slightly Offensive, the best worst show on the internet.
My name is Elijah Schaefer and I am your top 17 host, as I like to say.
If I don't make it into your top 17 podcast and I think I'm doing things wrong, we have made it into the top 100 news commentary podcasts in the last week.
So we're happy to be ranking again in the charts, meaning you guys are listening at a much more successful and a much higher rate.
And I want to thank you a lot.
Don't forget to subscribe right now on YouTube and Rumble and download the full show on podcasts, Spotify, and wherever else you can find audio.
It's very important what we're going to discuss.
In fact, the story is probably one of the most traumatic and deepest stories that I've ever covered.
But first, I have to tell you something.
Right now in our lives, our money is insecure.
In fact, it could disappear in a moment.
Just a couple days ago, Sam Bankman-Fried, the head of FTX, ended up getting arrested after losing billions, yeah, billions of dollars of investors' money.
One day you wake up and your money is gone.
And in fact, a lot of us have our money invested in retirement accounts that have seen tanking numbers as trillions of dollars have been lost from the stock market.
Even worse, I've watched people online yesterday tell me how they lost six figures gambling on crypto.
Why do that when you can invest your retirement and your savings into gold and silver, which have raised 1,000 to 2,000% respectively?
And it's so important to have something physical that can retain its value that has withstood the test of time.
My friends at Goldco have an exact plan for all of you slightly offensive backers right now.

Let's get into the story for today.
The COVID regime's tyranny will go down in history as one of the worst abuses of human rights in modern history.
The pandemic era saw our governments reach a level of persecution unmatched for generations.
Businesses were shuttered, churches closed, and unbelievable restrictions were put in place on everybody.
We all remember just how unjust and ridiculous all that was.
And what was it all for?
I mean, of course, we now know that none of the restrictions helped, nor were they even based on science.
We all got silenced on the internet for speaking out our minds.
Many of you guys were actually restricted on Facebook and other websites, knowing damn well that we were correct the entire time.
They still quieted us.
Thank God Elon exposed that.
But even the vaccine, as we now know, is a rust sham in this, you know, Project Warp speed or like project clogged arteries.
It's not funny.
YouTube says it's not killing people, but that's the only evidence we have it's not.
But thank God they're saying that because, you know, leave it up to YouTube to know that.
Let us not forget that at one point last year, it looked like we were heading down an extremely dark and tyrannical road.
And that's the story we're talking to today in our interview later on in the show.
Somebody who experienced the darkest of roads, so dark it actually made me emotional.
Now, there was a time when it was seemed that vaccine passports, these stupid mask requirements, and all sorts of overreaches were going to be forced on the general population.
And it looked as though the non-vax population was going to be segregated into being untouchable from the rest of society.
I had family members, people that I knew, friends that I thought, which I don't have very many of today, that stabbed me in the back, but nothing's changed.
Society is still just as crazy, and the tyrants are still in power.
Yet everywhere you looked in the fall of 2021, it seemed hopeless.
It appeared that the worst dystopia imaginable was forming.
Nowhere was this more apparent than in countries like Canada and Australia, which boasted some of the most draconian COVID policies and enforcements in the world.
Today's guest, Jesse Johnson, knows just how bad things were in Canada firsthand when the Canadian government handed down the order that businesses had to require a vaccine passport from patrons.
Now, Johnson's based, I mean, I could say he's pizza-pilled, but he also refused.
Then came the iron fist of the Canadian government, who shut down his pizza shop permanently.
He had acquired these licenses and they stripped him of them.
How can you criminalize a guy who sells you pizza?
That's literally the most incredible person in all of society.
Drunk pizza.
Life pizza.
Anybody who's giving me pizza, I'm not going to shut them down.
Am I shut down somebody trying to shut them down?
But hey, Johnson was among the few brave people who have had the guts to stand up to the government.
And meanwhile, all his buddies in the industry told him that he should have complied and fallen in line.
Way to get their back.
You'll find it quick that amongst the pandemic, it showed us just how fickle people can be.
And truly, truly, never trust the people that should have your back.
Because they stood idly by while his business went down in flames.
Even though they knew that he was right, it didn't matter.
People will attack you, accuse you, and even join in to shut you down, even though you're in the right.
And over in Calgary, things were even darker for Pastor Archer Pulowski.
When Ottawa demanded that all churches be shut down to help stop the spread, Pulaski indignantly refused.
He went right ahead, carrying on his church services in defiance.
Hell yeah.
That is a pastor that I know standing up for what's right.
While all the pastors shuddered and shut down, you can always tell frauds when you see them.
But naturally, the Canadian government brought the hammer down on him.
On Easter Sunday last year, one of the most holy holidays of all of Christianity, a squad of police barged in attempting to stop the service.
And Pulaski's response went viral.
He literally shouted the police officers out of his church.
He told them, don't come back without a warrant.
You're not welcome here.
Gestapo are not welcome here.
Now, as you might expect, Pulaski was later arrested.
Shocking, though, on multiple occasions.
And the evil regime that is running Canada eventually threw him in solitary confinement for almost two months.
Their charge against him, though, is so stupid.
It's inspiring mischief during the freedom convoy protests.
Give me a break.
And this is how the regime treats its patriots.
This is how it treats this dissidents.
As many viewers know all too well, the government of the West, who pride themselves as being the centers of democracy and the land of the free, are in fact anything but.
America and Canada are more than happy to punish its citizens, much the same as Russia or China does.
And if you find yourself in the crosshairs of the elites, good luck to you.
But there is some good news.
There is light at the end of the tunnel, I guess, because the COVID regime, which once seemed unstoppable, is now crumbling.
In fact, I've read recent reports by Alex Berenson that some of the deaths from COVID are actually higher in Canada after the boosters have been unleashed than before.
Of course, who knows if that's true.
But for his part, Pulaski recently was acquitted of being in contempt of Canada's COVID laws, and the ruling is being heralded as a major boon for religious freedom and anti-vax in Canada.
In the U.S., the COVID regime is in full retreat.
The revelations that the COVID vaccine is both ineffective and straight up dangerous has taken a lot of credibility away from the experts.
It has brought everything else they said along the way into doubt as well.
I mean, there remains only a few handouts left.
I mean, college campuses, for example, are still requiring students to be vaccinated against COVID, despite the risks of myocarditis and other side effects, and young men specifically 1935, according to the JAMA medical journal.
But as is the military, which is dealing with many of its soldiers suffering health problems as a result, at least they say it is, and some people have been whistleblowers.
In general, though, there is very little talk of vaccine passports, mask wearing, or shutdowns anymore.
What happened?
I mean, the most encouraging part of the COVID regime failing is that in the future, very few people are going to fall for this again.
We've seen your deadly vaccine in the past is, you know, I think the swine flu and some of those other ones actually killed people, but somehow we're supposed to believe this one isn't.
I mean, the only people telling us it's not happening are tech companies who don't let us say if it is or isn't.
But does that negate the truth?
I mean, come on.
Do tech companies saying that we can't say something make a medical journal not real?
You've got to ask yourself with all the censorship being revealed at Twitter, who really is in power these days?
Yoel Roth talking about gay orgies and his Yale dissertation?
I mean, who are these people?
And we've seen how the experts controlled the narrative, enriched themselves at our expense.
And we've seen how none of the restrictions helped in any way.
In fact, I would say they did worse.
That's madness.
What they did to us is criminal.
And if you look at the statistics in the U.S. or in Canada, you will see that the lockdowns did nothing to stop COVID at all.
And I don't care if we get in trouble for saying that.
Evidence proves that.
They did, however, instill fear and hold the generation back in the education system.
Neither did any of these new measures or these coverings or any of it.
We, the normal, rational people, have seen through the charade from the beginning.
We've been on the money from the show from day one and we've been subjected to being taken down.
I am telling you, there are so many people who have tried to take this show down because when you are a white, straight Christian male with a scientific background who promotes and fights for things that are right, you call out the feminist, you call out the godless, you call out the LGBTQ regime, the medical tyranny.
People will come for you.
They will use any tool effective.
They will even shut you down for serving them pizza.
And I say fool us once, shame on you.
Fool us twice.
It is shame on us because isn't that the saying?
We will never allow something like this to happen again.
We will never close down our churches, shut down our businesses, or take a half-assed vax again.
We aren't going to forget what you did.
Shut the hell up with all this nonsense.
Forgive and forget.
We might forgive.
We're not going to forget.
And the silver lining of it all is the fact that we remember.
And we will hold you accountable.
And this interview is so important.
The story is heartbreaking.
And of course, I got to tell you what's so important is we've got to give a huge shout out before we jump in to one of our sponsors of today.
Now, I got to tell you about something amazing.
I have my best friend, Gunther, and I love him so much.
He's been with me through the thick and thin.
I've even spent money you probably think was stupid to keep him alive because you would never know exactly what's in their food.
And you'd never knowingly feed your pup mystery meat or spoiled grocery store food.
You know how sensitive their stomachs can be.
But unfortunately, there is one dangerous food that you need to stop feeding your dog immediately.
Now, this food can harm your dog.
The worst food that you can give it.
However, many dog food manufacturers include this ingredient in their dog foods and is one that most dogs consume on a daily basis.
Both disgusting and something that if you have a dog, you need to listen in because you got to see.
This is one of the most common protein sources in Kibble today.
Well, the dog food ingredient, meatmeal, can be made of circuit meat in packing plant scraps.
It's disgusting.
It's reprobate.
I wouldn't feed it to my dog.
Why is it when we grind it up, we think it's okay?
And sadly, it turns out that many dog foods even want to eat this mysterious meatme, which is essentially causing more harm than good.
We all love our dogs, and many consider them our best friends.
Many of us even treat them better than our own family members.
And your dog needs a high-meat diet, like all this.
We all need protein, which is crucial for their healthy lifespan.
That's why Dr. Marty, world-renowned veterinarian, decided to make his own dog food to combat against these harmful issues.
Right now, guys, if you love your dog, if you don't love him, skip this part.
But if you do love your dog, or if you know a friend that does and you think they could be poisoning their dog as well with this crap, click the link in the description right now to find out more about these dangerous foods and what you can do to help.
P.S., if your dog has been feeling tired or not having the energy that it used to, this one ingredient probably is the reason.
Please make sure that you check that out right now.
Click the link in the description before it's too late for your dog or the dog of someone you love.
You all have a mom or dad or somebody who has a dog they love.
Get them right now to know the truth by clicking the link in the description and set it to as many people as possible.
Let's jump in to the interview.
Recently, a man was targeted for serving unvaccinated people pizza.
Believe it or not, many things that were once considered normal were then deemed crimes during the scandemic.
One of the victims of the mob mentality and the witch hunt is Jesse Johnson, who had his entire establishment shut down and his life destroyed because he did the unthinkable crime of serving somebody that was unvaccinated pizza.
I'd like to welcome to slightly offensive for the first time, Jesse Johnson.
It's a pleasure to be here, Elijah.
Thank you for having me on your show.
Now, I know this is kind of a dark way to start the show, man, but there's a lot of people who have been through a lot less than you who are just not with us today for lack of better words because the pressure was too much.
Sometimes when that many people dog pile on you and try to destroy your life, it can just take everything out of you to the point where you don't want to live anymore.
But you're still with us.
And I'm so happy that you've stuck around and that you're fighting.
And so I got to ask you from the bottom of my heart, how are you doing right now, genuinely?
It hurt me quite badly, to be honest with you.
And it's taken me quite some time to accept my new position in society.
It was never my intention to be a political figure, to be a dissident.
I only wanted to protect my rights, the rights of my children and the rights of all Canadians.
The hate that I've received over the last year and a half has really caused me to question humanity.
Your life wasn't always the way it is now, where everything was stripped from you.
I mean, you had something really good going for you up in Canada.
Tell me about what your life was like before the pandemic.
What was going on in 2019?
I opened up Without Papers Pizza in 2011, 2010.
And yeah, previous to that, I owned an Italian restaurant that was literally right next door to it called Sugo Cafe Italia.
And that's been my passion.
It's been my livelihood.
It's been all that I've ever known.
Without Papers Pizza was a truly magical place.
I learned a long time ago in the food industry that most people really don't remember the food.
And although we did exquisite food, it was the experience that people remembered.
And Without Papers was truly a high vibration, beautiful chi, high energy place of love.
It was a beehive of activity.
We were one of the busiest places in Calgary.
I had 60 seats on a Friday.
I would do 300 covers and sell 500 pizzas.
I was an institution in Calgary.
I was a pillar of my community.
It's crazy because it feels so long ago, even though it was actually not that far in the past.
But during that time, I mean, to take a look at things before the government stepped in and fixed the problem that they created, fixed it.
What did your life look like financially, economically, when you were in control, when your own destiny, your own financial well-being, your own business was in your hands and you were controlling your own destiny?
What did that look like?
I was an outstanding member of society.
I owned, what, I owned four businesses.
I owned three houses.
I had an income.
I employed 40 people.
I had, you know, essentially not a worry in the world.
Although I wasn't rich, I was very comfortable.
I was able to provide for my family and many other families as well.
After they shut me down, I was literally left destitute.
I sleep on the back of a truck now.
And everything that I worked my entire life has essentially been lost because I believed in freedom and I believed in the equality of all Canadians.
Now, obviously, you didn't have your life flipped upside down simply because you committed some mass crime of fraud and you're getting due justice and punishment.
You were targeted and attacked by a tyrannical regime, but I know it didn't start with getting shut down.
I mean, there was a certain point where we gave way to the tyrants in power.
And so walk me through a little bit about when the pandemic started.
What kind of measures was Canada putting in place and how did they affect your business specifically?
First day of the lockdowns in Alberta and Canada, I believe, was March 16th, 2020.
That was a Monday.
The weekend prior to that, we had live music and the ramifications of the pandemic and the shutdowns were already starting.
That weekend was a terribly slow weekend.
And we went from doing a thousand people on a Friday and Saturday and a Sunday to on Monday being completely closed.
And we stayed closed for a few days to assess the situation.
Nobody knew what was going on.
There was a lot of fear, a lot of pandemonium.
There was a lot of people who were telling us that we should stay closed.
And I was opposed to that from the very beginning.
A restaurant is like a giant wheel.
And once that wheel stops rolling, it's hard to get it rolling again.
So we stayed open and we quickly adapted to doing takeout only.
But it was a surreal environment.
It truly was.
We went from a space that was just this high energy, beautiful, beautiful, Zen-like experience to literally just sitting alone in an empty room and handing pizzas to delivery drivers.
It was the saddest moment of my life.
Yeah, man.
Hearing that from you, it usually is not in my nature to try to show emotion at all, but to see you broken like that and to see that taken from you and the way you've responded.
I mean, it's really heavy stuff.
It's heartbreaking, actually.
But obviously, things did change.
There was that dip and then it started to rise.
And they let us open up our own businesses, let us work, allow us to make money again.
And so tell me what happened.
I mean, you opened back up.
What went on?
Without papers, pizza was literally, it was an expression of me.
It was my every nuance, my every eccentricity.
It was my proudest achievement.
I loved it with all my heart.
I could think of no other place to be.
I love the people.
I love the customers.
I love the energy.
I loved everything about it.
And my life is a void without it.
Truly, I don't even know what to do with myself anymore.
Well, obviously, you didn't get shut down immediately.
I mean, there was the implementation of these COVID passports, vaccine passports, as they were called, or vax passes, green passes.
They went by different names in different countries.
But I don't think there was any country that held out longer, even more than Australia, than Canada.
So tell me a little bit about how these vaccine passports developed and how they started to affect your business and lead you down the path that you went on and you're currently battling through today.
Man, I mean, it was a blur.
We went from doing primarily dine-in to 100% takeout.
The hours were very strange as well.
It seemed like all society had kind of just morphed into this pandemic mode.
We were, instead of being open till midnight, we were closing at 8 o'clock at night because the phones weren't ringing.
It was truly bizarre.
Yeah, it was really odd.
But the thing about it is that everybody suffered equally under the oppression.
And after the vaccine passport was enacted, the suffering became disproportionate.
Some suffered whole and others suffered not.
So the early days of the pandemic, although they were horrifying, for me, they were almost like the good old days.
Yeah, Canada turned into a military state as far as I'm concerned.
The COVID mandates and protocols were insanity.
You had to comply every single place that you went.
Masks were required almost anywhere.
There were some places like Banff, for example, a mountain town that required you to maybe masked out outside in the middle of the mountains.
When it came to September of 2021, that's when the government decided that they were going to enact a passport.
And I was completely shocked.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
And what had happened all during the pandemic was they would take a little bit and then stop.
Take a little bit, then stop, take a little bit more and then stop.
And it would always give these people a false sense of security, false sense of security.
But you could also, you would always see a pattern of progression that they were just stopping just to sort of let you catch your breath.
And then they were just going to come after a little bit more.
And it was one little liberty taken, one little freedom taken, one little right taken until you had none.
And by the time they rolled out the vaccine passports, I had enough.
We had complied with every ridiculous mandate that they had put forth to us.
You know, clothes open, clothes open, mask, plexiglass, move the tables away six feet apart, just every ridiculous thing you could possibly imagine.
When customers came in, they had to have masks.
When they sat down, they could take them off.
If they stood up to go to the washroom, they had to put them back on again.
It was pure lunacy.
And when they came out with the vaccine passport, I had looked at it as if that this was the final straw for me.
And what this essentially meant is the next thing that they're going to do is literally take away my right to own and operate my business unless I consent to getting that vaccine.
And by that point in the pandemic, I knew that I was never going to take that vaccine.
Well, and you definitely made the right choice not getting vaccinated and not partaking in that scam.
But between the vaccine passports coming out and these things being implemented, how did that actually affect your business and lead to you getting shut down?
Took two weeks.
They implemented the vaccine passport on September 20th, and I came out in opposition of it on that exact day.
And I was very vocal in my opposition to it.
I thought that I would record of charity and contribution to my community, of acceptance and inclusion of all, that would have some weight and that I might be able to inspire some other people to speak out against it.
Unfortunately, I was wrong.
I came out on the 20th and they shut us down on October 9th.
So it took roughly, I guess, a little over two weeks for it to happen.
So at first, my statement on social media, which was literally a statement of pure love and acceptance and my belief that all Canadians are equal, was viciously attacked by social media influencers and the public at large.
When I look back on it now, I think that the hate that rolled down on me was actual humans, but also a lot of robotic hate, which I didn't realize at the time.
And that caused a lot of our neighbors and people in the city to phone into police, to phone into Alberta Health Services, who then sent, sorry, Alberta Health Services came in, checked to see whether we were open and checking vaccine passports and showing the sign that says that we're going to check vaccine passports.
I wasn't doing anything.
That resulted in all my licenses being rescinded and taken away.
So my liquor license, my food handling permit, my business license, that in essence negated my lease as well.
And by the time they came to close us on October 9th, they showed up with the sheriff.
The police escorted the sheriff and Alberta Health Services, who by this point in the pandemic had essentially turned into the Gestapo.
And they changed my, they gave us two hours.
And you paid for these licenses, right?
Like, I mean, you actually paid the government, so they took away something that you paid for.
I paid for all of them.
Yeah.
I was just a giant free-range human on a giant tax farm.
But yeah, we paid everything.
You know, hundreds, thousands of dollars.
Who knows how much it was for all of it?
I mean, Canada, you need a permit to wipe your ass.
So this is crazy.
I mean, this is not anything that you could be prepared for.
This is not just getting fired from a job.
We've all been there.
This is actually taking away your ability to not only get a new job, but to even create one.
As an entrepreneur, this has all been stripped from you.
And your livelihood and your identity and your purpose are all completely obliterated in a moment because you tried to do something that you believed was right.
Got targeted.
So explain to me, like, what happens in a situation like this?
This interview is absolutely crucial.
And before we go any further in it, please stick around, but I've got to tell you something important.
We only have so many years on this earth, and it's so important that we make the most of them by not only maximizing our physical health, but also increasing our potential mental capacity.

Yeah, they almost broke me, man.
I couldn't, I couldn't believe what happened.
I couldn't believe that I lost what I loved because, you know, I was doing the right thing that I preached love and only received hate.
It broke me.
It broke me for a while.
Yeah.
And I started to fight right away.
I started to fight like my life depended on it.
I held rallies.
I joined rallies and I did everything I could to defeat the oppression and to bring down the tyranny and to try and make other people see what was going and what was going to happen.
I fought like my life depended on it.
You know, it's weird.
So for 20 years, I've collected taxes and paid taxes.
In my estimation, I've, well, I don't really have an estimation, but I've paid millions of dollars in taxes, unemployment insurance, Canada Pension Plan, old age security, workers' compensation, you know, all sorts of things.
And the ironic thing I found, you know, when the government took me down and destroyed me and took away my business and took away my livelihood, that I was literally left with nothing.
I was unable to get unemployment insurance because I was a business owner and that's the way the laws are in Canada.
I was unable to apply for welfare because I had a property that was in my name and various other factors.
And yeah, it was really shocking.
One of the other shocking things for me was that all during the apocalypse, and I refer to the pandemic as the apocalypse, and excuse me, people get offended at that.
But all during the apocalypse, all the government did was tell us to defer, you know, to defer your GST, defer this payment, and defer that payment.
We're going to take away all your customers.
So don't send us this money right now.
You know what I mean?
Hold on to it because you're going to need it.
Well, by the time they shut me down, I was doing pre-pandemic, I was doing $2.5 million a year in revenue.
And then during the pandemic, I was still doing a sizable amount of revenue.
I actually haven't, I'm sure I was doing over a million dollars during the first year of the revenue.
So by the time they shut me down, I owed in GST close to $175,000.
Plus, I also owed SIBA loans.
So SIBA loans were these demand loans that the government of Canada gave you because in order to stay in business.
Well, I took out a demand loan with the government of Canada.
I had been better off if I'd taken out that loan with the Hells Angels.
At least they have scruples and morals.
Owing money to the CRA is like owing money to the mafia.
They charge you an interest rate of 29%, which is the highest interest rate possible in Canada without being considered a loan shark.
So by the time they shut me down, I owed a shitload of money.
And, you know, I've come to this realization.
It's like, well, how am I even going to pay that money?
How is it possible?
In my business, I would have been able to facilitate that debt.
But now you take away my business and my revenue stream.
I have zero chance of paying that money.
And it's only a matter of time until CRA comes for whatever it is that I have left.
It's shocking to me as a business owner how high and dry you can be left.
And I was a bit naive to it.
Speaking of the SIBA loan, every single business, well, every single restaurant in Canada took that loan out.
It was $60,000 that they gave.
And they made it so that you only had to pay back $40,000.
And it's in the form of a demand loan.
I'm not sure if you know what a demand loan is.
Most loans are, let's say you took $60,000, you'd amortize it over 60 months and pay $1,000 a month.
Well, a demand loan is, you know, here's $60,000.
You don't have to pay it back until January 1st of next year, unless, of course, we want it tomorrow.
Then you have to pay it all back tomorrow.
We were the only restaurant in Canada, okay, to pay back that loan.
I'm going, well, I shouldn't say the only one.
I'm guessing there was very, very few.
But we were one of the few that pay back that loan.
And the way that we paid it back is in order for us to get out of this financial shitstorm, we had to sell a house that myself and my business partner owned in the neighborhood that we operated in that he lived in.
We owned that house for 12 years.
We had to sell that house to survive this.
And as soon as we sold that house, the government of Canada took that loan right off the top of it.
And, you know, whatever equity that we had was quickly disappeared.
I mean, this is heavy stuff.
And this comes from somebody who I fully have been there.
I mean, I have been attacked, defamed, slandered, dragged through the mud, article after article, event after event.
I've had advertisers pull their money.
I've gone from seven-figure funding for the show to literally down to zero and in debt and back up again and constantly, you know, just ripped around.
And what that's done for me is that it showed me that, number one, all the enemies do in the darkness is try to attack you on what they think matters, which is, of course, their ego and pride and also money.
But those things don't matter to you when you find God.
Like a few months ago, I actually gave my life back to God fully and started genuinely following him and submitting the areas of struggle that I had.
And it's been so liberating.
And I've been finding freedom in my life, in my faith of just being set free from the bondage of sin and death.
And who cares what man can do for me?
All they can do is spitefully abuse me, accuse me, or whatever they want to do in life, call me a domestic terrorist.
These things can only take away what man gives, but they can't take away the hope that God sets before me.
And I know that that's been so helpful to keep that faith level.
When you see that front page headline or you hear that thing that's being said, or you go around, you go, wow, this is really evil.
But you can't take away my joy.
You can't take away my hope.
So I've got to ask you, my brother, like, are you a man of faith?
Have you been relying on God?
Have you been pushing for that?
Because I hope you have, man, because you really are going to need it in this fight.
I have found faith.
And it's ironic.
You know, before all of this happened, I was raised Catholic and I swore off Catholicism.
I saw that there was a corruption.
And I didn't swear off Jesus, but I swore off Catholicism.
After this all happened, I started to realize that this truly is a spiritual war and it's a battle between good and evil.
And I started to recognize that they've essentially been lying to us for our entire lives and been trying to poison us for our entire lives.
I've tried to get in harmony with nature and my surroundings.
I've come to the conclusion that Mother Earth and Jesus are one in the same and that everything that there's two things I want to focus on as we close up the show.
Number one, I pray that the Lord fills you with supernatural power and strength and gives you the ability to fight these battles, which really are spiritual, man.
When there's this level of coordinated attack on someone like this, you know this is demonic.
These are satanic people and they're fighting to destroy you.
And it's sickening because it's like I always say this about Black Lives Matter or these satanic groups and people is BLM is burn loot murder, right?
These people, the characteristics of satanic people is they kill, steal, and destroy.
And that's what they're always after is destruction.
And these people have tried to destroy your life and it's wicked.
I mean, they're just satanic.
But you're going to need to fight this in a spiritual way.
And so, Lord, fill this man with your love and with your hope with that persevering heart, you know, the full armor of God.
I pray that upon you.
But obviously, secondly, all the prayers in the world aren't going to pay the bills, man.
So it's like in this fight, I don't even want people to support me.
Yes, you can go to locals.
Yes, you can support the show.
That's completely possible.
But you can also go and you can support my friend here right now and you can help him in his mission.
So please tell me where we can find you and where we can support this mission with our money.
It's Christmas time.
It's the season.
How can we get behind you?
You know, I've learned to live a very austere life.
I went from spending $8,000, $9,000 a day in my businesses to literally spending $8, $9 a day.
I live very frugally and appreciative of the little things that I never took appreciation of before.
I decided that, well, I knew right away that what was done to me was criminal, that the vaccine passport was a heinous crime that was enacted and forced upon all Canadians.
In my opinion, it's the most heinous crime that's ever been enforced in this land.
It made people come out publicly with the very private decisions and upon doing so be vilified and ostracized from society.
And the government shut me down because I believed that all Canadians were equal.
All I wanted to do was do what I did yesterday, which is serve the customers I did yesterday, today.
And they shut me down for that.
And that's a crime.
It was a bluff by the government.
And they knew that very few people would be willing to call their bluff because the ramifications and repercussions of such would be severe.
Well, I was unfortunate and perhaps stupid enough to call that bluff.
And it's my intention to sue the government.
And I'm taking on the man.
Anybody who wants to support me in this cause, anybody who wants to see Justin Trudeau come down, anybody who wants to see the tyranny fall, anybody who wants to see the lies exposed can contribute to my legal fund and defense at Give Send Go without Papers Pizza.
Dude, and that's awesome, man.
And on top of that, is there any socials?
Is there any places that people can follow your journey, keep up with the things that you're doing?
My main social media account is on Twitter, and it's at WOPiza, W-O-P-I-Z-Z-A.
And yeah, that's where I spend most of my time.
I used to be on Instagram and all sorts of other platforms and was, you know, I've been taken down to platform many times.
And I've realized that the censorship that existed in this country is really at a dystopian or willian level.
And I'm glad to be on Twitter now and what seems to be a platform that is shunning all censorship and allowing free speech.
Awesome, dude.
Thank you so much for coming on.
I really appreciated it.
Thank you for having me and thank you for allowing me to tell my story.
I greatly appreciate it.
And thank you for fighting for freedom.
Dude, what an awesome interview, guys.
I'm going to continue to do the work that God has set before me here on this podcast.
As you know, this podcast is every Tuesday and Thursday at 2 p.m. Central, 3 p.m. Eastern.
We have our live streams that are coming back soon.
Kez and I are having a great time and we are visiting some family.
But as you know, the airlines lost my luggage.
I just got some of it back.
So I didn't have any of my equipment.
I had no internet connection.
I'm getting everything back together and I will be launching shortly.
It is unfortunate, but we're just, we're happy and I'm happy to be here.
Because like we learned from Jesse, man, it doesn't matter what the world throws at you or what people try to do to you to abuse you or to attack you, to even shut down your pizza parlor and create this destruction like they did in his life.
He's choosing to persist and to prevail over the darkness and the demonic forces.
And it's such an example to all of us in the time of our lives when there's so much darkness and there's so much destruction and chaos that we don't have to give into it.
And we don't have to even pay attention to it.
In fact, we can just move on with our lives like he has and move into the next chapter and fight and continue to serve God.
And sometimes we find God through trial too, which is so encouraging.
And like I always want to kind of end these shows with a spiritual encouragement.
You know, it's so vital to remember that God has given us strength over our enemies and he's given us perseverance over those who seek to destroy us, even when it's the government that you think I can't win against these people.
This is too big of an enemy or this is too powerful.
No, not for God.
Nothing's too powerful for God.
In fact, sometimes you can even just be quiet and let God fight the battles for you like he has.
And he's fighting back.
And so we got to support him.
Make sure you support him.
He's such an example to all of us.
