AVI YEMINI and Morgan Jonas launch The Yemini Report, blending personal stories—like Jonas’ violent attack in Melbourne (petition for pepper spray now has 1,620 signatures)—with critiques of Australia’s justice system, lenient bail policies, and rising immigration opposition (49% now say levels are too high). A Canadian caller compares Justin Trudeau’s leadership to Donald Trump’s, praising Pierre Polyev’s populist healthcare reforms while warning of global "woke" backlash. The episode ties systemic failures—from misinformation bills to school policies—to a broader push against progressive governance, urging support for figures like Alberta’s Danielle Smith who resist perceived rights erosion. [Automatically generated summary]
Welcome, welcome to episode one of the Yamini Report.
I want to welcome you and thank you for joining us tonight.
And I would say bear with us.
It's my first session of it and there may be some technical issues through tonight that we will 120% blame Benji.
And even though this is not my show with Rukshan Fernando, we will blame him too because anything that doesn't work in this state-of-the-art operation is Rukshan's fault because he set it up free of charge.
Well, I want to introduce you now to the co-host of the Yamini report, somebody that I've done a, somebody I've grown up with, I know very well, a good friend of mine.
And in fact, my last story for Rebel News has actually been on him.
That just happened to work out that way.
Morgan Jonas, thank you for joining us on the Yamini report.
I want to start firstly with people who don't know you.
Who are you, Morgan, and where can people find you?
Well, Arvi, thanks a lot for having me.
A real honor to co-host this historic show with you.
One, a first of its kind, really.
So Yamini report number one.
Let's get it happening.
For those of you who don't know me at home, my name's Morgan Jonas.
I head up a Victorian state-based political party called the Freedom Party.
Also host of the MCJ report, which has been dormant for a little while now.
So really happy to be back here tackling some issues with Arvi and RV.
Thank you very much, of course, for giving me the opportunity to be here and also the story we did a few days ago.
Awesome job, Arvi and the crew.
Well, we'll get into all that in a minute.
Now, for people joining, I want you to know that there are...
So, the point of difference of this show for me is the idea of...
I'm sick of doing shows, participating or being a part of it.
What am I hearing?
Am I hearing myself?
Is the fact that I'm generally or whoever's participating in the show is generally talking at the audience, sometimes reading out some comments, but never engaging directly with them.
I want this show to be exactly that.
It doesn't need to be the biggest show on the planet.
It needs to be, to me, an intimate show with Rebel News or my most loyal viewers, people that subscribe.
Now, so obviously, as the operation grows, we will tweak it to make it function a bit better.
But for now, if you want to join the live stream at certain points, I'm not going to just introduce people as we're talking or as we're breaking down the daily news, whatever, but you can click the link.
So you've got to be registered to Rebel News Plus.
Tonight, everybody can watch it and Rebel News Plus people can watch it live.
And Rebel News Plus people can go back and watch it in their own time.
So Rebel News Plus subscribers.
The way you do those go to your mini report.com.
You're obviously on that page now.
And if you want to come in and join the conversation on the screen here with us, you need to click.
There is a button below.
In fact, give me two seconds and I will show you exactly what I mean in a moment.
Don't, Benji, don't come up on the screen.
Let me pull it up first and then I will.
So let's just pull it up here.
Oh, this does the old, where is it?
Yeah, your mini report.
Here we go.
So you've obviously come down to, so you're on this page now.
Probably, we'll see how it glitches looking at itself.
So you're on this page now.
You're watching this here.
Now, just below, if you are a subscriber, it'll say join the show.
That's the button.
That is what you click if you want to join the show.
Now, I'm going to put you into a waiting room in which you'll sit there until the time that we are bringing people onto the show.
And as long as you're respectful and engaging in conversation, whether you agree or disagree, we would love to talk to you.
But again, let me preface that with, as long as you're respectful and not a lunatic.
We're not going to hold our breath on that one.
So you're asking yourself, Morgan, why are you on here if we can't have lunatics?
Is that right?
Well, you know, I guess there's a limit to everything, Arvi.
And of course, we want good debate with people who vigorously disagree and opinions from every corner of the political spectrum.
We invite everyone.
But of course, when there's certain people out there who wish to disrupt or take the course of action in a place that is no longer productive or serving in any purpose apart from seeking one's own attention, well, there might be a little surprise in store.
So I'm going to stay tight-lipped on that for now.
So just know, this is the house rules.
More than welcome on, as long as you're respectful and we'll give it some time.
And if I beat you from the feed, you're done and your membership will be cut out as well.
So for all the haters today that have signed up, because I can see in the comments a few did, that signed up just to be able to engage, you will get your short-lived fun, but you might have to wait.
I might get you on the second month of that $8 payment.
So, Morgan, yesterday I did do a story on you.
And the reason why I find that relevant, not only because you happen to be on the show the next day, we have a long history together, don't we?
We grew up together for people who don't know.
I guess people mostly know you from the COVID-era MCJ report you did for a while.
You were running a show.
You're not running that anymore at the moment?
It's been a while.
We did a couple of live events last year, Arvi.
You spoke at both of them, but the online show has not been in operation for about a year now.
So I wouldn't say that I've hung up the podcasting cap, but it's taking a bit of a break at the end.
You certainly haven't, because the idea is that you're going to join me as a co-host, if not every week, most weeks.
And this is a very different show to what you had.
Obviously, what you had was you spent eight hours planning your delivering the show here.
I traveled to America.
I got to see how they actually do it in America.
I'm doing it a bit like the podcast that we do on Thursdays where we just go over what is making headlines, the important issues around the country.
The point of difference, like I said, is I want to be able to include people from the audience.
So viewers, and I can see there's already people waiting in there.
And we will do that.
So that is exciting.
I don't know how it's going to play out because I've never done it before, but we'll roll with it.
Now, I did do a story on you yesterday.
I might just pull that up first so that people have a reference to what I'm talking about.
14-Year-Old's Violent Encounter00:08:04
Give me two seconds.
I'll pull it up on the screen.
Let's go here.
Okay, here we go.
There we go.
We'll just watch.
Let's put the screen.
There we go.
Let's just quick watch.
My perspective and where I was standing, the offender was very alert, very intent on causing serious harm.
I was very, very concerned for my safety.
I had no idea what was going to happen.
I didn't know what the result was going to be, but I'm happy that I was able to defend myself in that moment by delivering several closed fist strikes to the offender's face and his body.
And there was a lot of blood everywhere.
It looked a little bit like a horror movie.
Luckily, I was able to neutralize the threat.
I've been here for Rebel News outside the Morabin court to catch up with a good friend, the president of the Freedom Party.
Okay, we don't need to watch the whole video.
So essentially what happened, you were attacked just randomly on the streets of Melbourne.
You could see the guy followed you.
Where is the, I just want to turn down the sound on that.
I don't even know how to do that on YouTube.
The guy attacked you.
No.
The guy attacked you while you're walking.
Tell the audience what actually happened.
So they're not hearing it from me.
I was walking down the street with a female friend of mine, had my shopping in one hand.
And out of nowhere, some guy comes from behind me very aggressively.
And he wants to engage in some type of violent physical confrontation.
And it was a very strange turn of events, Arby, because think about you're walking down the street, you've got your sandals on, you've just purchased some meat from Kohl's down the road.
And this guy just gets in my face and starts threatening to inflict serious injury and harm upon me.
And I've never seen this bloke before in my life.
So, you know, it appeared to be completely random.
Some people are saying, do you think it was politically motivated?
I got a lot of people asking me that.
Did he say anything?
Did he say anything that seemed like he knew you?
It didn't appear to me that he did.
Basically, the threats were just the typical type of threats you'd expect to hear from a violent thug on the street just threatening to bash my head in and that he's going to finish me and taunting me.
So, yeah, it literally just came out of nowhere.
And I think it highlights some broader issues in society when you've got people acting so violently in broad daylight.
Very brazen.
Yeah, it was crazy.
It's crazy to watch that.
And how were you feeling when it happened?
Were you shitting yourself?
Yeah, it was very unnerving.
You know, I'm not going to lie.
If I could describe the feeling, it's kind of like you're walking on a tightrope and you've got no rails to hold on to.
And there were plenty of blokes around and nobody got involved.
Even at one stage, I was speaking to guys around me saying, all right, come on, guys, restrain this person right here.
He's crazy.
He's violent.
I don't want to be involved in this.
This is not something that I'm asking for.
No one got involved.
And no one even bothered to take out their phone and film, which was a little bit disappointing.
But basically, it came down to it, Arvi.
I was in a corner and it was either going to be me or him.
And I didn't know what was going to happen.
I didn't know if he had a weapon on him.
But when I landed that first punch, I knew that I had it.
I knew that I was going to be able to defend myself.
Because you can't see it.
He obviously, there's like you see in the video, it comes, you walk away.
There are those guys that are just telling you to move off, which kind of seemed a bit odd.
Yeah, so you'll see here in just a second.
And that's it.
See this?
Yeah.
He comes in here.
And right now, just pause it right there.
So you took out quite a few seconds in that timeframe that we're out of camera.
That's when the actual physical confrontation is taking place just outside of the camera.
So, um, he was on a combination of high-strength painkillers and alcohol.
That's what the police told me.
So, in that state, he wasn't feeling much.
So, it was definitely quite a vigorous attempt from my end to actually get it under control.
But even after he was bloodied and blood dripping on the floor, he still wanted to keep going, which I thought was crazy.
But, you know, this is state of affairs in Melbourne 2024, I guess.
And then, the cops took him down.
Anyways, he was charged, got off with basically nothing, which is why we ended up doing the story.
We did the story because it's a crazy thing, but it was about you're advocating for people to have the right to self-defense.
And we started that petition on your behalf, which I don't, I mean, I haven't even looked at it today because I've been so busy, but we'll follow up on that.
Now, the reason why I think that that's kind of the segue, not only because we did the story on you literally yesterday, it's also because the today there is news.
Let me just zoom out a little because on this screen, there we go.
Like I said, technical issues.
I'm going to learn how to roll it as I'm doing it.
So, basically, there's a 14-year-old kid who's one of the worst offenders in Victoria, according to police.
He was on a three-day, so a 14-year-old accused of a three-day crime spree, who police described as one of our most prolific youth offenders, has been bailed for the 50th time.
For the 50th time, yeah, this is Victoria.
Are you surprised by this?
I'm not.
So, I would say often not.
50 times?
That's a bit wild.
Yeah, the question is: at what point in time does community safety get put before offending somebody or taking these youth off the street?
And although maybe a controversial opinion, yes, he's a teenager.
Yes, he's a youth, but that's still old enough to know better.
100%.
Lock him up.
The protection of the 14-year-old child who's committing adult offenses, a 14-year-old child can kill.
A 14-year-old child can seriously injure.
A 14-year-old child can traumatize a victim just as much as an adult.
There is no reason in the world why a child should get bailed.
A 14-year-old, there is no reason in the world why a 14-year-old should ever get bailed for violent offenses for 50 times.
50 times, Arvi.
And this really sends the wrong message to the community and the youth of our community that they can get away with violent crimes and nothing's going to happen to them.
In fact, the situation has become so dire that these people, these young people, they're actually filming their crimes and posting them on the likes of Instagram and Snapchat and TikTok, videos of themselves stealing cars, producing prohibited weapons.
So they've become so emboldened due to our weak justice system that they're literally boasting about their crimes to the world.
And something needs to be done about this, Arvi, because Victorians don't deserve to live in fear and our population is already moving backwards.
And I dare say this will be just another sort of nail in the coffin of people leaving our state unless something pretty significant changes.
Racism Countered with Racism00:12:42
Just so you know, yes, I just looked at it now.
1620 signatures for legalizing pepper spray so far.
I think this issue, I think it deserves a lot more.
I think more people are going to wake up as these violent crimes.
I think people, these kinds of things, when it touches close to home, people are more concerned about it.
But 50 times, I'd imagine that, you know, all 50 of his victims would have liked some pepper spray.
And it's one of those things that it's insane that time and time again, Victorians are left to just cop it and be the victims.
We're left defenseless.
We don't, you know, for people who don't know in Australia, if you're watching from overseas, there are no guns in Australia.
There was the buyback in 1996.
So you can't have anything for self-defense, not even pepper spray.
But I just wanted to get your reaction on that today, to be honest.
Now, there's someone calling in in the waiting.
Let me just take a look at who they are.
This is going to be the first one.
What do we have there?
What's your name?
Where are you from?
Hold on.
Let's see.
All right.
add to guest two hey how you doing Thank you for patiently waiting.
Hey, Dawmate.
What's your name?
Welcome, welcome.
How are you?
I'm good.
I'm good.
I can see some Canadian.
Oh, there we go.
I recognize you, sir.
How are you doing?
I'm really good.
I had a hell of a time trying to get on here.
Yeah, look, it goes in the waiting room.
I think you were starting early, so we had to pull you up.
So what time is it there for you?
It's almost 1:30 in the morning.
Tell me you stayed up for Morgan today.
I stayed up for Morgan today.
Hey, hey, thanks a lot, sir.
You know, this is the first time that we're meeting, but these types of gestures will get you everywhere.
So thanks a lot for being here.
And you know what?
It might be 1:30 in the morning, but you seem wide awake.
So tell us, what are you thinking?
Well, I'm thinking I got this big Jesus thing in front of the picture here, and I don't know how to get rid of it.
Maybe I'll just push cancel.
Oh, there we go.
We can see you.
We can see you clearly.
Tell me how do you most of the audience here are going to be Aussies.
How do Canadians feel about the state of Australia at the moment?
Do you know what's going on with us, or are you just so focused on your own problems with Justin Trudeau?
Oh, my God.
I think there's so much horse shit going on in the whole world today.
Brazil, UK, Tommy Robinson.
The world is, can I swear?
Yeah, well, this is on Rumble, so nobody's kicking us off.
I hope the viewers might have to block their ears.
Self-censor.
The world is pretty fucked up.
And yeah, I've never been so embarrassed to be a Canadian in my life as I am at this point in my life.
I think a lot of Australians would feel the same.
Yeah?
But why are you embarrassed?
Well, we have a tyrant, that is our prime minister.
That is a coward liar, a cheater, a greedy son of a bitch, and all the people behind him are the same, and all the puppet masters up top that are controlling him are uh, they're all the same.
We just want to live our lives and and be free, and they are trying to strip us of every shred of dignity that we have in our lives.
I mean, that's fine if you're young and you're grown up and you don't know any better, but by fuck, I've lived in this country my whole life and I've worked my ass off.
And the last thing I need is some son of a bitch telling me what's what.
I've got grandchildren.
Yeah, I think we, you know, we all watched closely during the trucker convoy through COVID.
Victoria was pretty messed up, but I don't think Justin Trudeau was far.
In some ways, he was worse.
They were actually locking people's accounts down at the time.
I remember Rebel News had to pay the staff two months in advance just in case they were just concerned that this tyrant was going to shut down people's accounts.
Let's look at one of the other issues I've got up here and we'll see if you've got something similar in Canada.
Let me pull up.
What do we got?
We got, I think it's this screen.
So here at the moment, I don't know if you saw Morgan.
There is a treaty in the park, which is by the which council is it?
It's in Werribee, but it is in which is it the is it's one of the Victorian councils Wyndham Wyndham City Council.
Yeah, that's the one.
So they are holding a treaty in the park at an event.
It costs here we see the cost of this event.
So they've got all this other, it looks fine.
Yeah, it looks good.
Community event.
General admission is 50 bucks unless you are mob.
So unless you're Aboriginal, it's free.
Well, you know, one of the issues we've seen here is what actually, first of all, what constitutes somebody being from Aboriginal lineage?
Because when we look at the activist class in this country, you see people who are as white as day, who may have, you know, one 100th in Indigenous blood.
But furthermore, to that point, Arvi, I think that most people in this country, we just want Australia to be a fair and equal land for everybody where everyone's treated equally under the law, where opportunities are presented equally to everybody.
And I think what this presents is the emergence of a very dangerous two-tier society where certain people, by potential virtue of their lineage, are granted advantageous treatment over others.
And I think it's a dangerous slope.
And I would say it's something that we want to stay away from.
What do you reckon, do you guys have something similar there in Canada happening?
Well, I just watched Ezra and the great group of rebels in Toronto that were there because of the people that are supporting Hamas.
You know, that whole struggle going on there.
And to see one group of people getting preference over another, From what I know in my whole life of being a Canadian living in Canada, blah, blah, blah, that is not correct.
That's not right.
There's no way one group should get preference over another.
We had our, we still got the struggle going on with the natives or aboriginals.
I don't even know what you call them anymore without being politically.
You've got to be careful.
On this channel, you can.
But Jesus Christ, get over it.
I mean, it wasn't me.
It wasn't our generation that caused this.
Okay.
We're all, you know, like, get over it and let's move on.
The thing that gets me with this whole thing is the idea that you're going to counter racism with racism.
How can you...
I thought charging a different rate based on somebody's race is the definition of racism.
You're literally segregating people based on race.
So it is more expensive for the white man.
How does that make any sense?
Well, that's right.
And this is the classic paradox of the left turning into exactly what they purport to be against.
And yeah, this is turning on the white man in one instance, but also there's plenty of white people out there claiming to be of a particular lineage seeking certain special treatment in this society.
And again, I just think that it's a slippery slope, not one that we should go down.
I would love to see the country come together.
Maybe I'm a little bit too idealistic, but this is just the way I am.
And to all say that, hey, we're all Australians, we're all equal.
And yeah, the emergence of this two-tier class system, I think it's very dangerous and it's not going to go anywhere good.
It's never gone anywhere good throughout history.
Well, we'll move on.
Another story-making news at the moment is Australians are increasingly fed up with over-the-record immigration levels.
But that's not just a headline because according to a new survey, 49% of Australians now feel like immigration is too high.
And the reason why that's important, that 49%, is that that's a significant increase from just 33% last year.
The cost of living and immigration are the issues that matter to most Aussies at the moment.
Morgan, what's your reaction to that?
Yeah, well, we're in a time in history where we've had over 10 consecutive interest rate rises.
We've got a housing crisis, a cost of living crisis.
The decisions made by our federal government have put our economy in a lot of turmoil.
And that's reflected by the state of the Australian dollar, our buying power when compared to the US dollar.
And coupled Such high immigration rates, really, the average person out there is struggling and feeling the pressure more than ever before.
So, competing in a job marketplace that's overcrowded, competing for property, whereby the demand by far supersedes the supply, it's no surprise that Australians are getting fed up with the large amount of immigration.
And, you know, with these tensions in the world, RV, and politics internationally becoming more and more polarizing, Australians, I think, are feeling the pressure now more than ever in terms of immigration, and more specifically, immigration that could, in addition to what I've just mentioned, be not conducive to our Australian values and our democratic principles.
So, yeah, Australians are feeling it, and this is going to be a key topic getting into the federal election, I'd say.
It's like looking in the mirror.
Canada's got the same issues.
Yeah, Trudeau actually just came out with some statements about immigration claiming that he's going to pause immigration or temporarily pause immigration for a couple of years.
I'm not sure where this policy is coming from, but he made a very sanctimonious speech.
I saw it on YouTube a couple of days ago, actually.
Here and there, I do keep tabs on our brothers and sisters from Canada.
As are we, so I think we have very similar cultures and we have to show a bit more backbone, I think, which we're doing like our friends in the US, in order to take measurable steps to taking our country back.
Canada's Immigration Debate00:14:51
And I hope that Canadians are feeling inspired by the election of Donald Trump and his new cabinet, and now we're starting to organize politically.
Is that something that you're seeing more in Canada now?
That the right uniting personally, I have never talked to anybody in the last, well, even before Avi Across America, I haven't talked to anybody that wasn't pro-Trump.
Could not wait for Trump to get in because we, I mean, you know, we all looked at it going, man, if that other one gets in, that's going to be the demise of all of us, like, because we're so tied to the U.S.
It was a scary job, wasn't it?
It was a scary job.
Oh, absolutely.
And actually, to be quite honest with you, I'm on X, right?
I get the little blue check mark and such.
And I actually sent a message to Trump, and I doubt he got it, but I said, you know, when you get in, could you please get rid of Trudeau and the Liberals?
But I think Canada's looking kind of positive in that direction.
Trudeau's in the polls is getting smashed from what I understand.
Pierre Polyev is right up.
I think Pierre Polyev is known around the world for one particular interview.
Hold on, I'll pull it up while you guys continue the chat because I think this is like for Australian viewers to see who is likely going to be the next Canadian prime minister, God willing.
Are there any up-and-coming candidates for the prime ministership?
Anyone looking patriotic?
They want to make Canada great again.
Somebody for the people to rally behind?
Well, absolutely, Pierre Polyev.
And I've promoted him.
Here you go.
I'll pull up this here.
Watch this.
This is for Aussies.
You don't know who this is.
This is basically in Australian terms, the Peter Dutton of Canada.
He's doing far better than Dutton is doing here in the polls.
And this will explain why.
Oh, one second.
Did I kill the sound?
Hold on.
To actually find young people to do work.
And of course, housing is a problem.
And healthcare is a problem.
As you was mentioned earlier, the hospital here gets closed quite frequently.
Nothing to do with vaccinations, I don't believe.
It's a doctor issue.
It's more a shortage of doctors.
So what do you do in the meantime?
I mean, you've got lots of plans for building houses, et cetera.
But in the sort of immediate spectrum, what do you do to create a blue seal test to quickly license the 20,000 immigrant doctors we have in Canada?
Many of them are prevented from ever working and they give up on getting a job as a doctor and they end up taking low-age work for the rest of their lives.
I just want you to see him eat the apple.
I'm just a simple blue seal testing standard that would apply right across Canada.
Take the test, get the license, get to work within 60 days.
Okay, and I mean, obviously, you're going to encounter some opposition from the College of Medicine, et cetera, across the province.
How do you deal with that issue?
We push forward.
The easy street leads to a dead end.
The hard roads lead to the best destinations.
We're no longer going to accept that this or that gatekeeping bureaucracy stands in the way of obvious common sense solutions.
It is unacceptable that 20,000 doctors can't.
I've got to find a better one where it's to the point where he just eats the apple.
Where he's eating the apple.
It's what made him.
I think Elon Musk tweeted it at one point and he was just like, this guy is here we go.
On the topic, I mean, in terms of your sort of strategy currently, you're obviously taking the populist pathway.
What does that mean?
Well, appealing to people's more emotional levels, I would guess.
I mean, certainly you tap very strong ideological language quite frequently.
Like what?
Left wing, you know, this and that, right-wing, I mean, it's that type of ideological thing.
I never read talk about left wing.
But anyways, a lot of people.
I don't really believe in that.
A lot of people would say that you're simply taking a page out of the Donald Trump, which people would say that.
Well, I'm sure a great many Canadians.
How good is he?
I don't know who, but...
Well, you're the one who asked the question.
So you must know somebody.
Okay.
I'm sure there's some out there.
But anyways, the point of this.
I like his answers.
I like allowing this journalist person or whoever's asking the questions to corner him in any way, shape, or form.
So people are saying this, which, well, you've used ideological language.
What ideological language?
Yeah, he's on the board.
He's super charismatic as well.
You know, he's chill.
I think that clip is what defines that guy.
And I hope for Canada's sake that he is the next PM.
But everything's kind of indicating that it's leading that way.
Australia generally follows America.
And I think Canada and Australia kind of follow that road as well, as well as the Brits.
So I think the world is headed in a much better direction, to be honest.
You've got to look at Australia.
In our context, we followed the left so wildly.
We went so far left because America had this woke, nutty administration.
And so Australia thought, oh, yeah, that's a cool thing to do.
Let's do that.
And our entire country, so from federal and every state became a left-wing, completely voted out the right.
And it was far left, you know, between center.
There's hardly any center left in power.
It was like the more left-wing you were leaning, the bigger you were, was your government.
So I think in Australia, we are, and I think you're going to see it around the world.
You're going to see that shift now when people have woken up because everybody's suffering in the same way.
In America, the issues that people were talking about there was cost of living and immigration.
The same things as we're talking about here.
And the woke is deaf to those issues.
Everything to them is about the culture wars, about transgender rights and demanding that men can play in women's sports because that's the most important thing somehow, whilst also arguing that men are all misogynists, but the intersection of all these crazy identity politics, they kind of crash somewhere where they make no sense.
And they don't realize that the rest of the world looks at that now.
So like your average person isn't that dumb anymore.
The average person is not falling for the woke feel-good politics because they actually have to pay their bills every week and those bills have gone up.
But they're only waking up because people realize that people are not falling for, firstly, the way they demonize people based on words.
So where they just call people Nazis or where they just label people to silence their political view.
And they're going, hold on.
Trump is the perfect example.
They demonize him so badly.
And there's a period there where I think some people were convinced.
And now people had, you know, Americans had four bad years.
Forget about the rest of the world.
We all suffered because of the current administration.
But Americans suffered four bad years.
And people go, you know what?
I don't believe it.
Like, we had four years of him.
He didn't rob democracy.
He didn't end democracy.
He didn't become that thing they said he was going to do.
And things were just much better on a day-to-day basis on the things that actually affect me, which is, you know, the cost of living.
And they put it down to a few things, including the immigration.
Like in America, it's a different immigration problem than we have here, but it is a big problem.
Well, I think one of the other takeaways is Americans going into the election of which we just witnessed, they had two terms of very different presidents to observe, obviously with Joe Biden and before that, Donald Trump.
So they had a side-by-side comparison of how America was going.
What were the grocery prices?
What was happening with taxation?
What occurred with the trade deals?
What changes were put forward or not put forward with American manufacturing?
And so what we saw and what Arvey so brilliantly highlighted from his videos, Arvi Across America, were such a large cohort of the population and new demographics that most likely in the past never would have supported Trump for various reasons, most likely in relation to what had been said on the mainstream media.
But they were now supporting Trump.
And there were even a lot of, I noticed, closet case Trump supporters saying, well, I don't like Trump as a personality, but his policies are really good and energy was cheaper and we'll bring him back our manufacturing and we were engaging in responsible immigration and we had less of a crisis at the border.
So I think that now that the so-called wokeness has been more so exposed and ridiculed on such a huge level, the average person out there are really starting to realize that we need to take our politics seriously.
And, you know, you may not like somebody's personality or mannerisms, but what's most important are the policies or more specifically policies that lead to the betterment of regular people's lives, our freedom, having money in the bank at the end of the month.
That would be a great change for so many people.
And I think that we're just seeing the beginning.
I think the Trump effect is going to take shape worldwide.
Canada, I'm sure, will follow suit.
Already here in Australia, just on X, I see so many accounts saying, hey, we need a department of government efficiency.
Hey, we need a Donald Trump here in Australia.
We need an Elon Musk.
Hey, we need our self-defense rights back again.
And by the way, legalizepepperspray.com, go and sign the petition.
But I think that we're living in an exciting time right now.
There's a transition away from establishment-focused politics to people-focused politics.
And we're all at the forefront of this.
So, you know, gentlemen, I think that the fight's begun, but we've got a lot to look forward to.
You made a comment there earlier about the statement that Trudeau made about the immigration and taking it down.
Well, he caught the problem to begin with, or him and his group of merry bandits or whatever they are.
But as embarrassed as I am as a Canadian, the next embarrassing thing for me is I can't imagine how embarrassed I'm going to be when Christian Freeland and Trudeau go down and negotiate with Donald Trump.
It's going to be hilarious.
I think that's a perfect segue into this next issue that's making news at the moment.
The Albanese government's misinformation bill is some are calling it an act of aggression against the Trump administration.
Trump has certainly taken a very strong, or the administration has taken a very strong position when it comes to internet censorship, when it comes to specifically in Europe and with Musk.
They've issued warnings that if the European, what is it called, the European Union, tries to censor X, they're going to, or target Elon Musk, in which they've said they will.
At times, they were threatening even potential arrest warrants if he doesn't comply with their authoritarian censorship rules.
And the new administration, which Elon is going to be a part of, but they're saying that JD Vance recently said that they want to tie NATO cooperation and support to American values.
And that includes freedom of speech.
And they say, if you're going to target people like Elon Musk, well, don't expect us to support standing, which makes perfect sense to me because it's like if you want our support to fight for your values, then we surely we've got to be sharing those values.
If you're starting to arrest people like Elon Musk for standing up for freedom of speech, then we don't share those values.
Why would we fight for you?
Why would we spend our taxpayer dollars?
Why would our boots on the ground?
Why would our military, why would we help you fight your wars if the whole idea, and that's the argument, why is America, why do you have allies?
Why is America fighting for freedom so often?
And you can agree and disagree with their interventionist idea.
I know Trump's a bit anti-it himself, but the idea that America has always fought for freedom, it's like, hold on a second.
If they're not, if that's even just the excuse as to why we get into conflict, then if you're not even pretending to stand for freedom, why should America have your back?
Why Freedom Matters00:12:56
Well, that's exactly right, Arvie.
And you've raised quite a few very, very relevant points there.
You know, there's one train of thought in terms of geopolitics and alliances between nations that pertains to economics and finance, but there's another that pertains to values, which I think the proof is really in the reality of some of the strongest alliances we see in the world today.
We see China and Iran becoming quite close and China working very closely with some other authoritarian regimes.
Yet we look across the pond and we see, of course, security alliances between the United States, the UK, Canada, Australia, Japan.
We look at countries that one could describe as sister democracies.
So now, especially with Trump in power and Elon Musk and such strong supporters of civil liberties and freedom, I think it only makes sense to further solidify and strengthen these relationships.
And should there be a member of these PACs that I suppose walks the other direction away from freedom towards tyranny, towards censorship, towards suppressing the rights of its citizens, it really begs the question whether or not we can genuinely proclaim to hold the same values of our very important security partners.
So I think that this is going to be a fork in the road for our country, which ultimately is not going to be determined by those in power.
I was listening to a certain independent MP speak before on Sky News, and I'm not going to mention her name for now, but she was actually defending the misinformation bill, claim, and you know what her argument was?
It was that Elon Musk should not be the arbiter of truth.
And what an absolute misrepresentation of the facts there.
On X, it is absolutely undeniable that Elon allows him strongly disagrees with, right?
And just my final point, X is actually the greatest platform for discourse because of the community notes.
So should there be disinformation or misinformation, Elon Musk has actually said, well, here at X, we're not going to be the arbiter of truth, okay?
We don't want any governments to be the arbiter of truth.
We want you, the community, to make the community notes, to put your importance, reference your arguments, reference the statements of which you are making, and let's put it out there in the public square.
Let's debate it.
Let's battle, and let's get to the truth.
Now, that is the greatest platform for discussing ideas.
So I think that the Australian people are realizing that reality.
And those who oppose it, those who want censorship, those who want to crush opposing views, they're not going to last in this country.
It was a labor, I'm assuming, a Labour, a Labor, an independent hand.
A Labour hack, an independent Labor hack.
Yeah.
So is it one of the senators that's aligning themselves with voting for it?
Why are you hiding the name?
This is a member of the lower house.
The lower house, so they already vote.
It looks like it might not pass.
I know Canada had a similar bill.
That ever pass the uh, the misinformation bill in Canada, which I think is very similar to this, I think well, we had a situation uh, where uh uh, the liberals got in trouble and uh, the uh actually, the speaker of the house uh, surprisingly enough, is a liberal.
Uh, but uh, they asked it was the whole green slush fund thing, And the opposition asked for the documents to do with this green slush fund.
I can't remember the actual name of it to be given over to the RCMP to investigate it.
And the Liberals have refused to do it.
So the Speaker of the House said, no more bills, no more business can be done in our parliament.
And it's been weeks now where they can't pass another bill in the House.
They're stalled.
They can't do any more.
And I don't understand the whole process, but apparently that's where we're at.
And they are refusing to hand over the unredacted documents.
You call it the Online Harms Act.
Well, that's one.
Yeah.
Is that the misinformation one?
I think there's a really Canadian bills as well.
And then the COVID Preparedness Act or something like that, something about being prepared for the next.
There's a couple of things.
Did this one ever pass the online?
I wonder if that.
Yeah.
Well, you see, I just very recently learned what an omnibus bill was.
I didn't know before, but they can slip in a whole bunch of shit into a bill that's labeled as such, like an online harms bill, for example.
But they can slip things in there like, oh, you can't talk positively about oil and gas being a good thing, or that's you're going to be arrested.
So much crap.
So here they go.
Totally unbelievable.
So illegal and offensive online content is also regulated by the Online Safety Act.
Yeah, it is 2021.
The Act establishes an online content scheme, which is designed to protect consumers, particularly children.
That's exactly what they do.
That's what they're doing now with this banning under 16 in Australia.
Everyone's copying each other.
It's like if something works, they call it for exposure harmful material.
The online content scheme allows members of the public to make complaints to e-safety.
It's exactly the same about illegal and offensive because to assess the complaints.
It's wild.
It's all photocopied.
Oh, no, wait, this is ours.
Hold on, this one's our one.
Oh, they talk about, they talk about in one of those bills, I'm not sure.
I think it's the online harms bill.
They talk about the fact that I can go to a judge and tell him that I think there's somebody over there that's going to say something hateful in the future.
And that person hasn't done anything wrong yet.
But if I can convince this judge that this person might say something hateful in the future, he can impose restrictions on these people To an nth degree, and that person has no idea who it was that ratted them out, or if that's the term.
And then that person has to pay me $20,000 and the government $50,000.
And I couldn't believe it was in that bill until I came home.
I was actually where I heard that was at the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedom in down in Calgary when Ezra got the award for the George Jonas Freedom Award.
And I remember there was an omnibus bill here in Victoria where we live during COVID.
And the bill was composed of such a diverse and broad range of different topics, but nestled in the bill were provisions for what you could and couldn't say about COVID-19, people online who may potentially breach the COVID restrictions in the future, and what measures can be undertaken to determine what somebody's future actions may be.
And of course, many of us concerned that our state was turning into a dystopian nightmare.
And then, well, Arvi covered COVID on the ground and I was protesting at every rally.
And I can tell you that was most definitely dystopian.
So, yeah, we need people in office who are going to take responsibility and genuinely serve the public, which is the position description, right?
A public servant to serve in the interests of the common man and woman, not to trample on their rights.
It's so funny reading this because, you know, I got confused.
I jumped to an Australian page accidentally because we were obviously in Australia.
So it automatically took me to the Australian.
But it's the same language, exactly saying the Online Times Act will establish a digital safety commission.
So the knee safety commission, same as it is.
Canada to administer the framework to digital safety ombudsman of Canada to be a resource for users.
It's always and victims and advocate for online safety and digital safety office and support the like this is the biggest croc.
It's the same as what is in Australia, but I don't think this is passed.
It says that it was tabled.
I'm not that familiar with Canadians, but Bill C 63 says it was tabled in the House of Commons on May 30, 2024.
Is the House of Commons your upper house, lower house houses or working Canada?
Does it have to pass two houses?
I couldn't tell you that, honestly.
Anyways, it's interesting to see that it is the same exact nonsense.
Well, you know, the Canadian policies are really, you know, from international think tanks and different committees, say within the World Economic Forum, where you've got these unelected bureaucrats from different countries meeting and discussing what they consider should be global governance.
And that's literally the terminology they use.
And then, of course, participating member states like Canada and Australia will take these policies, write them up as bills, introduce those bills to state territory and federal parliament.
And then all of a sudden, we're sharing identical legislation and experiencing the same problems.
So this is why it's great to have these conversations across borders because the concerns of the Canadian people and the British people and the Australian people in regards to our freedom, they're really all the same concerns.
Well, they're definitely having the conversations because almost all their language is the same.
So when the so-called leaders and those in charge are all discussing and plotting and scheming against the people, I think it's only the best reaction is for the people of those countries to also come together and work out what works in fighting it because whatever's going to work here or work in Canada will help us here in Australia.
Somebody's successful in fighting whether it's a constitutional challenge or whatever it is.
And we saw that during COVID.
Everything that we applied in Canada, we applied here as well.
And we had wind and it taught us how to fight it.
In fact, we were able to use precedents in other countries in some of our high court or supreme and higher court challenges.
Anyways, let's move on.
Bring on the screen again.
I've got something I think.
I would just like to say one more thing.
I don't know what it's like in Australia, but in Canada, I truly believe that we have had it so good in this country for so long that we've all become apathetic and nobody really knows how the hell to stand up.
I think that's similarities for Australia for sure.
But I think finally there are more and more people in our country waking up, looking to take action, not voting for the major parties, instead supporting smaller parties that are really taking a stand in the name of freedom.
And we hope for that trend to continue.
But yeah, here in Australia, we've had it so good for so long.
People became very complacent.
Why pay attention to politics?
So while we were busy working and enjoying our lives and spending time with our families, the far left-wing, politically and ideologically crazed cohort of our population were sinking their teeth into the institutions, getting elected to council, writing the laws that dictate how we live.
Maureen Faruqi's Critique00:07:21
And now we have a big mess to clean up.
But there's a lot of people out there motivated to pick up a mop and a broom.
So let's go.
Just quickly before we move on, anyone that does want to join, there was a couple people trying to call earlier.
So we have one at a time.
Just go, you have to be a Rebel Plus subscriber and just hit the join the show button below the episode and you'll be put into a waiting room.
And we will happy, just before we end the show tonight, have you on for a quick comment?
So let's have a reaction to this one.
I found this.
In conclusion, we simply have to develop new laws to ban fossil fuels and use more renewable sources of energy as well as change our eating habits if we are to ensure a safe and sustainable environment for future generations.
What do you reckon?
Talking about that fake beef, isn't she?
What do you reckon?
We'll go vegan for the climate.
You're down.
Well, we all eat bugs.
We're going to eat crickets for protein.
What do you reckon?
Will you put bugs?
Be happy.
No, I mean, you know, the sooner this argument is just completely squashed, the better it is.
You're talking about Maureen Faruqi here, who has had a very successful career, owns property, is on a very handsome salary.
I'm sure has no problem affording solar panels for the roof of her house.
Meanwhile, the rest of Australia suffering under a cost of living and being dictated to by this political elitist ruling class what food we're going to put onto our plates and making this crazy hypothetical claim that somehow changing our eating habits is going to save the environment.
What she's really talking about is stop eating meat.
But of course, we need our meat.
We need our protein.
Can't say that I'm on the carnivore diet, but it's close to it.
And I say that people probably need to eat more meat, more protein, cut down on the carbohydrates.
And let's make Australia healthy again.
It very much reminds me of the people.
What do you reckon, Arvey?
Yeah, go on, go on Wade, I was just I.
I gotta say uh, my only saving grace is I live in Alberta and uh, in Alberta Canada our uh, our premier, Danielle Smith, is an absolute rock star and I am supporting her with everything I can do.
I don't have a lot of money, so I can't donate a whole bunch of stuff unless I win a lottery one day.
But uh, I am, I volunteered.
I was at the AGM in November 1st and 2nd in Red Deer.
It was the largest political gathering in Canadian history.
And our Premier got 91.5% support from the membership.
And she is going to Donald Trump's inauguration.
She ain't listening to Justin Trudeau and Stephen Guibo and all those people we got here trying to destroy our province.
She's an absolute warrior and I am going to support her with everything I've got as much as I can.
Good man.
I think she's a man.
You know, I think that's so important when one of our own rises up and begins to make political waves.
The best thing that people can do is rally behind that person.
And, you know, even if it's not financial, when it comes to election time, get out there and volunteer, put on a t-shirt, hand out a how-to-vote card, make phone calls, because, you know, these people are really sacrificing a lot in the name of standing for freedom and supporting their fellow Canadians, in your case, sir, in our case, Australians.
So if there's a key takeaway from this, support those who are putting their neck on the line.
Look at the difference between that and this.
Maureen Faruqi is, you know, she's probably, she would be in the top point one of, I guess her carbon footprint would be the worst in the 0.1 of the world.
0.1% of the world.
Like you're talking about Maureen Faruqi, who I would love to see how often she travels.
She flies.
Remember, in Australia, we are super privileged.
The country that she came to because she wanted to enjoy our way of life here.
She actually just successfully sued Pauline Hanson for telling her to go back to where she came from if she's not happy here.
There's obviously an appeal.
So we're not going to tell her to go back to where she came from at this stage.
But what I would say is that it's wild.
She certainly has come here.
She's enjoying the privilege.
She lives off the public dime.
She's a well-paid politician.
She spends most of her days these days, the last year, hating on Jews.
This is somebody that cries about racism and this and that, but you see her.
There are photos of her in front of literally signs where they've got Star of Davidson putting him in the bin.
This kind of hateful hypocrite is the last thing that we need in politics.
And we need more of what Wade was showing us, Danielle Smith.
We wouldn't mind what you're doing.
I'm going to further that with just a couple of little financial points here, Arvi.
And this is coming from the Daily Mail.
So for this woman who's in a very privileged position there in the Australian Parliament to be dictating how other Australians should live, well, pretty easy for her to say on an MP's salary.
But further to that, an article published just back in July stating that she's set to reap an $850,000 windfall from an upcoming property sale.
We see that she also owns a 500-meter squared parcel of land in Lahore.
Her partner also owning property, additional income from investment properties.
So she's somebody who has most definitely benefited so very greatly from living in Australia and taking advantage of the opportunities that are here for everyone.
And we'd just like to see a bit more gratitude, which I think is an understatement.
So don't tell us how to live.
Don't try to trample all over our freedoms.
Be respectful of people's choices to choose what food they want to put on their table.
And it's exactly this type of attitude that we need to get rid of in this country.
It's not good and it's not becoming of a member of parliament.
I do just want to point out.
Parents and Schools Transitioning00:08:09
Yeah, go on.
Go on, wait.
I just finished reading the book 1984 for the first time in my life.
And I swear to God, that was required reading for the WEF and the WHO and every lefty on the face of the planet.
They said, oh, that's a good idea.
Let's do it.
A shout out to Ruxan Fernando, who's watching with FOMO.
His wife just sent me a video of him watching.
He's feeling, this is the problem with Rookshon.
He needs to.
I've replaced Rukshan.
Rookshan needs to get himself a Rebel Plus membership so that he can join this stream.
Absolutely.
What are you waiting for, Rukshan?
If you want to be part of this, there's a spot for you.
I crack myself up.
Rebel News is absolutely phenomenal.
I love you.
Okay.
This was Morgan.
You actually sent me these Wagamati Grout calls for help as top sponsors pull out.
What are we seeing this on?
This is Q News.
Is that queer news?
I want to know why you're on queer news.
What are your thoughts on this, Arvi?
Why do you think sponsors are pulling out?
Yeah, well, organizers, do they say here?
Why are they saying they're pulling out or they don't know?
Well, this is a trend that we're really seeing emerge from different countries in the Western world.
We've seen major backlash in the past where companies have gone too woke in the United States.
There was a very prolific example of, I believe it was Budweiser that received such tremendous backlash for their ultra-woke stance.
There was actually a significant boycott.
And I think that as the wokeness prevails, sorry, as the wokeness continues to roll out around the world, more and more people are actually rejecting it.
And I think we're going to see this is really an avalanche effect.
Yeah, it's interesting.
So they're saying that their biggest sponsors, which is Charles University and Coles have I'm taking have pulled out.
Yeah, so without their support.
It's interesting.
And I wonder if big national, So, you know, Coles and Woolies have often gotten involved in the political debates on all sorts of issues.
More woolworks are filled in coals.
Yeah, and it's not due to financial issues.
And this was also, this was originally reported on by the ABC.
And we know that Kohl's, of course, has plenty of money in the bank, holding such a significant market share from the supermarket economy there, choosing not to back this particular cause.
So I would say this is definitely no accident, as the saying reigns true, go woke, go broke.
And I'd say this is indicative of future trends, Arvi.
So Australians will be very happy to see this, actually.
I think that it's funny when they host, when they call these things, family-friendly pride festival.
It's like, I have no, I don't care, like, go and have your parties, but just keep kids out of it.
Why are we, that's like doing, that's like Pornhub for kids.
Do you take your kids to, you know, the sex po?
No, there's a reason why.
So I just, the idea that this is a family-friendly event is just laughable to me.
It's an adults 18 plus event.
And if Kohl wants to sponsor Pornhub, they can sponsor Pornhub and the market will react however they react.
And the same as this.
I'm sure that they've copped a lot of backlash in the past for getting involved with things like this, which blur the lines between.
I was at a rally at the Alberta legislature here in Edmonton the other day.
The Alberta legislature is where Danielle Smith and our, that's our head of government in Alberta legislature in Edmonton.
And I was at a rally there the other day and they had some people there that had transitioned from males to females.
And now they were de-transitioning or yeah, I guess de-transitioning.
And they spoke.
They also had a person there who had transitioned from a male to a female and was totally okay with all of it.
They had a speaker there from Gays Against Grooming from, I think, Ontario.
This guy was from, I'm not sure.
Anyway, but every one of them said, leave the kids out of it.
It's in our schools now.
My children, my personal children are now adults with my grandchildren.
And so I really didn't know what was happening in the schools, but they're teaching that shit in the schools.
And I was like, what?
No way.
And I couldn't believe it.
And then I found it to be true.
And I was like appalled.
So keep the kids out of it.
You can go be an L, be a GTWQ.
I don't give a shit, but leave the kids out of it.
Yeah, exactly.
That's exactly right.
And it's the same right here in Australia.
And it's happened in a very subversive manner where these hyper-sexualized theoretical notions have made their way into our curriculum under our Department of Education and so often unbeknownst to parents that this content has actually entered our schools.
And probably in Canada, I'm presuming you have some similar laws here in Australia whereby parents don't have to be made aware of such content in schools.
And here in the state of Victoria, which is probably one of the worst, children can actually visit doctors in schools and have secret meetings with doctors where they're prescribed with drugs, including but not limited to hormone therapies.
Again, not necessarily with their parents' knowledge or consent.
So, this just further highlights why we as a people need to push back as strongly as we can against this anti-human agenda because literally future generations are depending on us taking a moral stance and sticking to it.
Well, Danielle Smith, a UCP party in Alberta, has changed that now.
They've changed the rules in the schools now where parents have to opt in instead of they used to have to opt out if their kids were going to be taught anything sexual or anything like that.
But her, Danielle Smith, and UCP party just changed that in schools in Alberta where the parents now have to opt in.
So the teachers have to let the parents know if their child is going to go with another pronoun or another name or another letterbox or whatever the hell they're doing.
And they have to let the parents know.
And then the parents have to give their consent for their children to not go to that class.
And there will be no retribution if the child opts out.
Smartphone Freedom Pursuit00:04:15
Well, that's the reason why Danielle Smith is my hero.
I think that is the way that is the shift that is going to come.
The pendulum is going to swing the other way.
It went a bit insanely woke for a few years there.
I think what we've seen in America is a pushback to that.
And what we're hopefully going to see in Canada and Australia is furthermore is going to be further of a bigger indication, another indication that that pendulum is swinging right back because the insanity of it all is clear to most to the average normal person.
On that note, I want to thank everyone for joining us tonight.
I want to thank Morgan again.
We'll have you on next week as well.
Where can people find you?
Across all social media, my username is the same: Morgan C. Jonas, one word, Facebook, X, Instagram, Telegram, and TikTok.
And of course, here wow, you've joined the Chinese.
Can't beat them.
Join them.
So someone's going to take your data no matter what, right?
So obviously, guys, go and follow Morgan.
You can see him next week here on the Yamini report again at 7 p.m. on Tuesdays.
We'll start with once a week at the moment.
We'll build on that.
I'm really excited.
I felt like my head was ready for all sorts of issues.
We had no issues.
A couple of people who tried to call in early clearly didn't want to wait around.
Wade, thank you for joining us and spending giving us so much of your time.
Thank you.
Do you, if you want anyone, if you do want anyone to follow you on any platform, let us know now so people can hear you.
Hold on a sec.
Oh, just told us, oh, one sec.
What are you wearing?
You have to show us your shirt.
I'm loving that's your phone.
This is my real freedom guy.
That is a true freedom guy.
I am never getting a smartphone.
As a matter of fact, I bought the website for Canada, www.smartphonefreechildhood for Canada.
And it's powered by Wix.
And I've put all of my money has gone into it.
I'm not asking for any donations at all or anything like that.
All I want to do is eliminate internet access on portable electronic devices for children.
Because I have grandchildren and us adults, if there is any fucking adults out there anymore, if we don't stand up and do something, I don't like the world my grandchildren are growing into.
Right.
I love your passion, mate.
There you go.
You've given us a URL.
What was that URL again so people can look, have a look?
www.smartphonefreechildhood.ca.
I'm going to make my kids read that entire website tonight.
And then if they don't listen, I'm going to send them to Canada and you're going to have to deal with them.
Smartphone Canadian movement, no donations requested.
This is a pursuit based on passion.
I can see that.
guys um thanks again and i i got that idea from the uk They started it, a WhatsApp group, but because I don't have a smartphone, I couldn't do any WhatsApp shit.
So I had to buy a website.
Makes sense.
Love the passion, guys.
YuminiReport.com next week, same time, same place.
And hopefully, more of you stick around to join us live in studio because that's what this one is about.
I don't want it just to be myself and Morgan speaking.
And as much as we love Wade, we want more of you to get involved.
