David Menzies and Tamara Ugalini dissect Doug Ford’s snap Ontario election call (Feb 2025), questioning its mandate against Trump’s potential tariffs (Feb 1 or April 1). They critique Ford’s flip-flops, Trudeau’s federal chaos, and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s sharper trade stance while warning Canada’s divided response risks weakening U.S. negotiations. Ethical concerns over Tanya Granick Allen’s treatment and bureaucratic overreach—like the CRA’s capital gains tax push and unresolved prorogation hearings (Feb 14-15)—highlight systemic failures, contrasting with Trump’s executive orders ending speech censorship and DEI policies. Ford’s gamble may backfire without unity. [Automatically generated summary]
Hopefully you're having a good time with this podcast, but I guarantee a better time would be coming to Alaska with me, Drea Humphrey, and my other Rebel colleagues.
You've got to find out more at our special website, RebelNewsCruise.com, but it's taking place June 18th to June 25th, a vacation trip of a lifetime.
Again, that's RebelNewsCruise.com.
I'll see you there.
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
You have tuned into the Rebel News live stream on this, say Friday, January 24th, 2025.
I'm David Menzies and my co-host.
Well, let me tell you a bit about my co-host, shall I?
Do you know, folks, today is Beer Can Appreciation Day, and my co-host is so thankful that the breweries, starting in the late 60s, started switching over from steel cans to aluminum cans?
Why?
Well, because now everybody is a tough guy.
She is the she-devil with a spatula.
She is the Khaleesi of the greater Coburg area and a little bit of Belleville.
She is the terrific Tamara Ugalini.
How you doing there, Tamara?
Oh, pretty good.
Thanks, David.
I didn't know that in the 60s, this predates my days that they switched over from steel to aluminum.
So were the cans much heavier then?
Can you tell us?
Oh, yeah.
You really had, you couldn't be a girly man and crush a beer can when they were made out of steel.
But when they were made out of aluminum, as I just demonstrated, you could be a couch potato.
And, well, I guess the consistency of aluminum isn't quite what steel is.
And yeah, like I said, everybody is now a tough guy.
And a guy like me, I'm very appreciative of it.
I bet.
Well, thank you to all of our viewers at home who are joining us.
For those of you who don't know, this is our Rebel News live stream and we do it three days a week currently as the looming trade war kind of as we spearhead into this looming trade war and the lack of political governance that we have here in Canada on the federal level.
But previously, we were just doing them on Mondays and Fridays.
So obviously today is our Friday time slot and we're streaming on a few different platforms.
You can join us on Rumble, YouTube, or X. Thankfully for Rumble, they're the free speech platform and they have not demonetized us or censored our speech.
So I would urge anyone who's joining us on YouTube in particular, because they have done those things, to come on over to the Rumble side and support us there.
We will be running through some Rumble ad reads, which help support our journalism and keep our lights on and the cameras rolling.
Playing Politics with Tariffs00:15:42
So if you haven't already, head on over to Rumble.
There, you can also give us what's called a Rumble rant.
And so for a $5 U.S. donation or more, if you so please, you can have your comment or tip read to us on air.
And we always appreciate when our audience engages with us because it lets us feel the temperature of the room.
And it also is a great way for you to have your voice heard on a larger platform.
So head on over to Rumble, send us a Rumble rant and let us know what's on your mind on this Friday, January the 24th, as we head into probably a provincial election starting next week, says Premier Doug Ford.
Yeah, and you know, we'll get to that video clip in a second.
Isn't it just so sad, Tamara Ugolini, that Canadians are clamoring for an election and then you wake up today with the announcement, oh, we're getting an election.
Not a federal election, which everybody wants, practically.
Although, if you believe Karina Gould, she says nobody, Canadians don't want a federal election.
Wow.
But Doug Ford, a provincial election, he's got a super majority government.
He's got it for another two years at least.
And this is pure politicking.
But before I get into, and you know what it reminds me of, Tamara Ugalini, it's that great sales contest in Glengarry, Glen Ross, where these hapless real estate guys have to go out and sell these no-hope properties.
And for the month, whoever makes the most sales, well, first prize, Cadillac El Dorado.
Second prize, set of steak knives.
Third prize, you're fired.
And, you know, in that department, Doug Ford's got to be careful what he wishes for.
I'm not saying he's going to lose, but then again, I hearken back to 1990.
David Peterson, the Liberal premier, had a majority government, went to the polls very early, and Ontario woke up to an NDP government under Bob Ray.
And I will make a prediction.
Regardless of who wins, I think, Tamara, you're going to see one of the lowest, if not the record lowest turnout in a Ontario provincial election.
One, because it's going to be in the dead of winter, which is really no excuse, but people will use that as an excuse.
And secondly, even supporters of Doug Ford, and this is what he's got to be careful of, are going to say, I don't agree with this.
He's going to win anyway, so I'm just going to stay at home, right?
And the moment in elections you think it's in the bag, guess what?
It comes out of the bag, especially when, when it comes to the Liberals and the NDP, you have all the public union leaders.
They'll be advocating.
I'm not sure where they're going to weigh in, whether it's Bonnie Crombie Liberals or the NDP, but they're highly motivated.
They get out the vote.
So, you know, I think he's playing with fire.
But before I get your opinion on this, Tamara, why don't we check out what Premier Doug Ford had to say in that beautiful borough of Brampton?
We will be calling the election next Wednesday.
I'll be seeing the Lieutenant Governor on Tuesday.
We need a mandate from the people to fight against Donald Trump's tariffs, the attack he's coming against our families, our businesses, our communities.
And with a strong mandate, we will be able to fight with Donald Trump to make sure we stop the tariffs and make sure that we give certainty to the people of Ontario.
If they take investing tens of billions of dollars, we'll do tens of billions of dollars.
It's no different than during the pandemic.
We'll make sure we secure people's livelihoods.
And I will do whatever it takes to protect the people of Ontario in turn because we're the engine of Canada protecting all Canadians.
We will not back down.
That is so concerning to me that tens of billions of dollars, let's spend tens of billions of dollars to clean up our streets and get our borders under control.
Why is it that Doug Ford and certain other premiers want to go into a trade war and escalate these tensions?
Think that the way Premier Danielle Smith, and we'll get into this a little bit further, but Quebec Premier Francois Gogh, I think that their approach to trying to be diplomatic and rein in a lot of these escalating measures is what is going to be a win-win for both countries.
This is, I do not agree at all with what Doug Ford is doing.
I think that that money could be better invested into doing what Canadians, what Ontarians have wanted for the last few years, which is to clean up our streets and curb the influx of record immigration into our country, into our province, and into our towns and our cities.
And don't forget, David, he says he needs a mandate from the Ontario people.
As you've already said, he has a majority government.
But if we look at the 2022 election, if memory serves me correctly, there was 40% voter turnout during that election.
And so why he thinks that there's going to be, I don't know, even a larger voter turnout this time around during a snap election with so much happening in the political landscape as we speak, and that he will somehow get more of a majority government at this time, it completely eludes me.
It's pure politics, Tamara Ugolini.
They're looking at the polls, which suggests he will have another majority mandate, but nothing is for certain.
But I want to reverse engineer this.
He says he needs a mandate, which, of course, as you mentioned, he already has.
He has a majority government for another two years to fight the Donald Trump tariffs.
But those tariffs, that is just conjecture right now.
We were expecting on Monday, as soon as Donald Trump took office, that we would be whacked with tariffs.
That didn't happen.
We've been told, and it's been widely reported, they're coming on February the 1st.
Earlier this week, and I'm surprised this is not getting more publicity on a Toronto radio station, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith was interviewed, and she says that Donald Trump misspoke about the date.
It's not February the 1st, but Premier Smith said it is actually April the 1st, right?
But again, until it happens, what I'm getting at, Tamara, if you are going to build the case that you need a mandate to fight Donald Trump's tariffs that are going to hurt Ontario, can you not wait until February the 1st?
Or if Daniel Smith is correct, April the 1st?
And it might not happen.
We don't know if these are negotiating ploys.
We don't know if Donald Trump is really concerned way more about Mexico than Ontario and Canada.
But once it's a reality, then maybe you have some solid ground to say, I need a mandate.
But right now, it's just speculation, isn't it?
Yeah, that's a really good point, David.
And I think that we know President Trump is a professional troll.
And so he'll troll people just to gauge the temperature and to see, you know, where that line is going to be drawn.
And I agree that Doug Ford's position, it started off that he was going to cut energy to the United States, cut electric energy to the United States.
And then he was going to pull, I think it was bourbon, yes, bourbon from the shelves in Ontario, from the LCBOs, which you can still get, I think, at select convenience stores because of what he's done with the availability of liquor in Ontario.
And now he's saying that we need a new mandate.
I mean, Ford is quite literally just flip-flop Ford once again.
He's all over the map.
He can't seem to figure out what exactly to nail down and to hold true on.
He's just going every which way and throwing things at the wall to see what will stick is how I'm reading this.
You know, and by the way, Tamara Ugolini, I'm going to give myself a Barry Horowitz pat on the back because I think I coined the nickname Triple F for a flip-flop forward.
This guy flip-flops more than a marlin once you reel it in and throw it on the surface of the boat.
But I just want to point out one thing you said, and you're absolutely right.
One of the targets, if you can imagine, is Kentucky bourbon.
And he's got the power, evidently, to yank Kentucky bourbon off the shelves of the hard liquor monopoly, that is the LCBO.
Yeah, in Ontario, the market's being opened up for supermarkets and gas stations and convenience stores to sell liquor.
Oh, but not all liquor, beer and wine.
We're not quite adult enough for the hard stuff, Tamara Ugolini.
And if you can explain why there's a steak dinner in it for you.
But as I understand it, these Kentucky distilleries, I've been told, I'll have to fact check this, get a lot of their rye from the province of Alberta.
So, you know, Triple F, he's hurting Albertans and a Canadian province by eradicating Kentucky bourbon on the shelves of our liquor monopoly stores.
Unbelievable.
But why don't we move on to, oh, love this one, Tamara Ugolini.
It is Blackface mocking Trump's vision of a new American golden age.
Aye aye, yi.
Let's hear the prime minister taking the long goodbye exit, weighing in on Trump's magnificent speech going back to Monday.
Donald Trump has announced that he wants a golden age for the American economy.
That means they're going to need more energy, more minerals, more steel and aluminum, more lumber, more concrete, more of the things that Canada is already sending them as a reliable and trustworthy partner.
If he does move forward on tariffs on Canada, as he has said, whether it be back on January 20th or on February 1st or February 15th, this is a Valentine's Day present or on April 1st or whenever he says he's going to do it, as he keeps repeating, two things will happen.
One, Canada will have a strong, robust response, because we don't want this, but we will respond if necessary.
And two, prices for American consumers on just about everything will go up.
And we don't think he wants that.
So we're going to be there.
Donald Trump has announced that he wants.
I wish we could see the clip of Trudeau actually walking down those stairs.
I don't know why he has to be so weird.
He's walking, just the way he's walking.
And I think his sweater looks like it's on backwards.
You know, you're right.
It's so bizarre.
And, you know, he says something, Canada will have a strong, robust response.
But the prime minister, who's outgoing, by the way, he's resigned from his post as prime minister.
And now the liberals on the federal level are too busy playing political musical chairs trying to figure out who's going to lead the party than actually lead the country.
He's saying this as he left his post as prime minister, is waiting for his successor to come in and fill those very small shoes.
And then he's also parogued parliament.
So we don't even have a functioning federal government as it stands currently.
And we won't until the end of March, if all goes according to Trudeau's plan.
And so, how he can stand up there with his sweater on backwards and tell Canadians that we will have a strong, robust response as he's exiting his role and he's porogued our parliamentary business is absolutely absurd.
I don't know what kind of la-la imaginary land Trudeau's living in, but it's not reality.
Yeah, and you know, you make a great point about his haberdashery, Tamara Ugolini.
I mean, yeah, you don't have to wear a tuxedo, but he is still the prime minister.
And I would like to see, there he is.
Look at his legs.
They just look so weird.
Yeah.
And, you know, I'd like a little decorum to go with the leader of the nation, even him.
This idea of a backwards sweater and looks like the kind of blue jeans you would wear around the house when you're doing spring cleaning.
Come on.
Well, at least, you know, I can't remember his name.
Well, who was the liberal MP that showed up for a Zoom meeting twice naked?
Oh, yes.
Oh, I see.
He's no longer there.
But I guess we should be grateful for small mercies.
But Tamara, here's where I come.
The chutzpah of Trudeau talking about energy, right, that is going to the U.S., that we're such an important provider of energy.
And this is someone who has sabotaged, especially Alberta energy programs in terms of not allowing pipelines to get their trillions, yes, trillions with a T, mineral wealth to market or even down to Houston to be refined into, you know, actual oil and gas that is used at the consumer level.
So there's that.
And also, Trudeau better be careful because it's not like Canada has monopoly.
There are other nations that can provide energy, but the number one provider of energy for the United States of America might be, drum roll please, the United States of America.
Under Trump's original reign, the U.S., for the first time in 70 years, was energy independent thanks to the fracking miracle that Biden and his cohorts eradicated.
In fact, the U.S. was actually exporting energy in the four years that Donald Trump was the president.
So if he could do it four years ago, Tamara Ugalini, why can't he do it again?
So I don't think we can play that Trump card, A, and B, you know, how disingenuous can you get?
The only reason Blackface doesn't allow those energy projects to come to fruition in our very own dominion.
Playing The Climate Change Narrative00:06:36
Well, that's out west where, what, in Alberta, I think the Liberals have one MP.
So it's a write-off for them politically.
And secondly, it's all about playing the climate change narrative.
We've got to go to the poorhouse with a smile on our face because, hey, we're saving Mother Nature.
Give me a break.
Yeah.
And part of Trump's first orders of business as president when he took the reins on Monday was he explicitly stated over and over, he's going to bring manufacturing back into the United States and reduce their dependency on foreign exports and international trade.
So this flies in the face of everything that Trump announced on Monday that he's going to do to stop being so reliable on these external factors.
And then I don't know if we're going to get into it later, but maybe now is a good time to bring it up.
Quebec has now sided with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and said, wait a minute, no, anything that we do disrupting this flow of energy and trade between our two countries, because the United States is our closest ally and partner when it comes to the global economy.
And he even warns that disrupting the flow of energy from Quebec and Alberta and the rest of Canada into the United States would put our country in a very weak position to negotiate future contracts.
So this is really, you know, Trudeau is parroting this team Canada approach and we're united and Ford's kind of falling in line with Trudeau.
I mean, as we've seen him do repeatedly over the last few years.
But then you have some of the provinces finally, Alberta and now Quebec.
And I think I suspect that maybe Saskatchewan won't be too far behind.
They're coming together and saying, no, no, no, hold on a minute.
This is damaging to our relationship now, but also into the future.
And we need to really think twice about how we proceed here.
And they're not on Team Canada.
So we don't have a unified approach.
We don't have a federal government.
And now in Ontario, we're heading into an election as well.
I mean, this quite literally, and I just did a report on it yesterday, this is a political dumpster fire that we have here in Canada and especially in Ontario, where flip-flop Ford just can't even make up his mind on how best to proceed.
So he just wants to call an election.
And I guess that will help him to figure it out.
I don't know.
Oh, well, a couple of things.
First of all, that alliance you see with the premiers of Quebec and Alberta, it just shows you, and I don't think I'm exaggerating, since Monday, the world is changing on a daily basis.
You know, that is not exaggeration.
I mean, even at the inauguration, when you saw so many people, all the, you know, billionaire, even trillionaire tech CEOs showing up at the inauguration, I heard one analyst say, if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would have sworn this was an AI generated image.
So enemies are becoming friends or at least frenemies.
And this is yet another indication of that.
And again, on Doug Ford saying he's got to call an election to get a mandate to save Ontario and therefore Canada.
And, you know, where my be the meter, you know, the needle on my BS meter, Tamara Ugolini, veered heavily into the red zone when I heard him condemning his opponents, liberal leader Bonnie Crombie, NDP leader Merit Stiles.
He said if either of those ladies had to negotiate with Trump, his quote was they would be an absolute disaster for Ontario and thereby Canada, an absolute disaster.
Tamara, that's what he said about Olivia Chow when he threw his backing against another candidate.
I'm having a Biden moment.
I can't remember who it was.
But on the eve of the election, he said Toronto under Olivia Chow will be an absolute disaster.
And when Chow was voted in, thanks to the union muscle, suddenly, oh, you know, it's a great day and I'm so happy to see Mayor Chow in, you know, in City Hall.
It's unbelievable.
Again, flip-flop Ford, I don't know what to believe when he opens his mouth.
Yeah, I'm starting to think probably just the opposite of whatever he says.
We have a quick super chat here from Myrison Gary, who gives $5.
He says, if Ford, if Doug Ford and his governing Liberal Party of Ontario, right, because they're the progressive conservatives, do not initiate his tariff war with the U.S., look for a 1930s style depression.
Tariff wars in history have always caused massive unemployment.
Yeah, they're already warning of that.
Yeah, and you know, Ryerson Gary is correct, calling him the liberal premier of Ontario, or certainly the party's official name is Progressive Conservative.
Forget the conservative part, emphasize the progressive part.
Tamara Ugolini, I'm not kidding.
I don't see any difference between this Ford government and the McGinty Wynne liberal government.
In fact, in many cases, it's actually worse.
One of the planks that Ford ran on back in 2018, if you recall, was to fix the radicalized sex ed curriculum.
It has become undoubtedly more radicalized in the last seven years.
Forget about fixing it.
That's just one example.
Also, he's spending like a drunken sailor.
Another example, I spoke of this in a rant earlier this week.
It's a little thing, but it's about bending the knee to won't cancel culture.
For five years now, on the lawns of Queen's Park, the statue of our first prime minister, a conservative, no less, Sir John A. MacDonald, remains in a tomb, a makeshift coffin, because it was too triggering to the likes of Black Life Matters adherents and Antifa.
And you had Bonnie Crombie, the liberal leader of the Liberal Party of Ontario, coming to the defense of taking down that coffin to display Sir John A. MacDonald.
Deficit Negotiations and Party Politics00:16:01
I'll take her at her word.
But imagine that, Tamara.
A conservative, air quotes, premier doesn't want to see that trigger called our first prime minister on the lawns of Queen's Park.
And in 2018, said to the city of Victoria, BC, which was the first to hop on the John A. McDonald cancellation program, if you're taking your Sir John statue down, send it to Ontario.
We'll find a home for it here.
So he's gone from, we'll have two Sir Johns on the lawns of Queen's Park to no Sir Johns, and a liberal saying, hey, bring back Sir John A. McDonald.
I think I'm living on the bizarro Superman world right now.
Yeah, that was the theme of our Wednesday stream, just how bizarre, upside-down world we are living, which always seems, you know, I've been saying since 2020, the same thing.
And then every time I think it's going to get better, in fact, it just keeps getting worse.
So I'm hoping that actually having Donald Trump back as the president of the United States will kind of rein in some of this hysteria and this illogical nonsense that we're living through.
But we'll see, because even Trump is acknowledging and recognizing that Canada is not being very cooperative.
You know, it's funny because we're known on the global stage as being these like passive, kind of go-along, to get along kind of people.
And now we have these ridiculous leaders that are supposed to be elected to represent us, not actually representing the true wants and needs of Canadians.
And Trump's seeing that it's they're they're being very difficult to deal with.
Um, here, let's let's show this quick clip of Trump saying that.
Yeah, one thing we're going to be demanding is we're going to be demanding respect from other nations.
Uh, Canada, we have a tremendous deficit with Canada.
We're not going to have that anymore.
We can't do it.
It's, it's, I don't know if it's good for them.
Um, as you probably know, I say you can always become a state.
Then, if you're a state, we won't have a deficit, we won't have to tariff you, et cetera, et cetera.
Canada has been very tough to deal with over the years, and it's not fair that we should have a 200 billion or 250 billion dollar deficit.
We don't need them to make our cars, and they make a lot of them.
We don't need their lumber because we have our own forests, et cetera, et cetera.
We don't need their oil and gas.
We have more than anybody.
So, you know, just as an example, with Mexico, we're dealing with Mexico, I think, very well.
And we're just, you know, we just want to be treated fairly with other nations because there's hardly a nation in the world.
And I blame this on us, and I blame it on politicians that for some reason, probably mostly it's stupidity, but you could also say other reasons, but mostly stupidity.
They've allowed other nations to take advantage of the U.S.
And we can't allow that to happen anymore.
You know, we have debt.
It's a very small debt when you compare it to value, the value of the assets that we have, but we don't want to do that.
We want to just have debt be obliterated, and we'll be able to do that fairly rapidly.
And a lot of good things are going to happen.
Yeah, he's saying there, too, in cutting off billions in global aid funding, where the U.S., you know, Trump is saying, you know what, we're done.
We need to take care of our people.
We need to pay off some of this debt, get out of this deficit.
And first order of business is A, slapping tariffs on everybody who is acting a fool on the global stage.
And B, by cutting off these nonsensical billions, we are funding various, especially DEI initiatives in other countries like Africa.
It is absolutely insane.
And Canada is doing the exact same, but we don't have any leaders on the world stage.
And we don't even have anybody on the federal government level who are acting the same way and saying, you know what?
Why are we sending billions in aid for things like birth control in Africa when we have people here in Canada who can't even get a house to live in?
It's absolutely absurd.
You know, Tamara, can anyone blame, I mean, you know, just being objective about what President Trump is saying, can anyone blame him for saying it?
He ran on a platform of America First.
His slogan is make America great again, not make North America great again, but America as in the United States of America.
And I got to tell you, as much as I'm a proud Canadian, and I'm not making a joke here, but if we face the specter of another four-year term of these federal liberals, and I don't care who's at the helm, whether it's Mark Carney or Wares Waldo, as they call him, he just disappeared for the past week after making his announcement, or if it's Fraud Lein Freeland.
I would prefer to be part of the United States of America.
I would prefer to be part of a country with such a strong constitution, which features the First Amendment and the Second Amendment.
Because I think the death knell for Canada would be if these liberals somehow, someway got reelected.
And I would do this as a bargaining position to Trump on condition of us becoming the 51st state, which is kind of ridiculous.
I mean, how can the 51st state be bigger than all the 50 states combined?
Well, you know, I think we'd have to, all the provinces and all the territories would have to be their own states.
But here is the condition.
You accept Canadian money at par.
Can you imagine that, Jamari Ugolini?
Overnight, our financial wherewithal increases by more than 30%.
It's a deal.
I'm definitely open to hearing some negotiations because at this point, the way things are going, Canada is not looking very good and it hasn't been for quite a while.
So, yeah, I'm definitely open to hearing more and having those negotiations.
And Danielle Smith really is like the light in all of this darkness.
She's the one who seems to be really leading the charge and leading the country through this tumultuous time.
And she says, Here it's time for Team Canada, you know, quote unquote, which she didn't join, to get serious about domestic energy security, nation building, and trying to grow our economy.
This podcast is brought to you by Revel News.
That's right.
So, if you want to support us, why not do it in a win-win fashion by shopping for yourself?
One of my favorite things to do: head to revelnewsstore.com to pick the patriotic gear that pleases your heart.
And while you're there, use coupon code DREA10 to save while you do.
Well, Olivia.
Sorry, it's the video of Premier Tim Houston, who was requesting the immediate approval of the Energy East pipeline, something that Danielle Smith is also simultaneously trying to get off the ground so that we can get serious about our energy and our exports and get our economy functioning again.
I mean, the economists sort of been warning of a recession for months now.
And so, this is a surefire way to prevent something like that from happening.
So, maybe we should just cut to that quick video of Premier Tim Houston.
Has unique potential impacts, but certainly during the discussion, you know, I called for the prime minister and asked that the federal government to immediately approve the Energy East project.
That's something that they could do, and I encourage them to do.
There was support from a number of premiers on that as well.
If we needed more urgency to strengthen our country, we got it, right?
So, we need to make sure that we have incredible natural resources.
We have to recognize that and tap into that potential.
That's a strength we have as a country.
It's certainly a strength we have as a province.
Oh, diversification is it kind of goes without saying that we need to make sure that there are customers all around the world for what we have.
And the United States is a huge market and it's been a convenient customer.
But now is the time to also, of course, look for diversification, not only across our country, but around the world.
And, you know, a project like the Energy East could move resources from the West to the East and then onto Europe.
Like, it will open up incredible opportunities for our country.
Well, Tamara Ugolini, knock me down with a feather.
Suddenly, pipelines aren't the devil's playthings anymore.
Suddenly, there's some merit into pipelines transferring our energy wealth.
Like I said, the world is changing every day since inauguration.
Well, and there's a progressive conservative of Nova Scotia, you know, and taking such a drastic turn or taking a different path than our apparent progressive conservative government, Doug Ford.
I mean, it's just if we want to pretend like we're on a unified Team Canada approach, let's at least get it together and try to have some unified messaging here.
We have Alberta doing one thing, Quebec siding with them, Nova Scotia coming in and siding somewhat with some of what they say.
And then we have Doug Ford, who's just like a fish out of water, flip-flopping every which way, doesn't know where he's going to land.
And so, well, let's just call an election and hope that the riffraff sorts itself out, I guess.
It's absolutely absurd.
I just, there's no other word for it.
I keep coming back to absurd.
And by the way, on the issue of flip-flop forward and our February 27th election, Tamara Ugolini, I forgot to ask your prediction.
Is it a lock?
Maybe another majority government, perhaps a reduced majority government?
Or is this going to be David Peterson 2.0, a really bad Tuesday morning surprise after a lot of pissed off Ontarians register their wrath?
Or his supporters simply stay at home.
What do you think?
Yeah, well, if we had 40% voter turnout last time at the actual scheduled election, I'm really nervous to know what the voter turnout would be this time.
I don't even know that I've heard any comments from Bonnie Crombie or Stiles about what their plan of attack would be with this looming trade war.
I really don't want to even think what it would be like trying to negotiate with those two individuals.
I mean, Ford has tons of faults, don't get me wrong.
And he's certainly not my first choice.
But the other choices aren't any better.
And that's the problem inherently with politics is that sometimes you just have to choose the one that's not the that's the least bad, right?
I think that they're all bad.
And we're left at the end of the day trying to scramble to pick one that is the not so bad option.
Yeah, it's so hard to say because Toronto always votes so much differently than some of the rest of the province.
I mean, I live in a rural municipality where it's very heavy conservative, both on a provincial and of course we have a federal conservative MP here as well.
And so it's hard to gauge the temperature in other regions because Toronto feels like such an outside world, even though it's only 100 kilometers away.
Yeah.
And you know, Tamari Ugalini, I agree with you with all the choices being bad.
It reminds me of the tagline for the movie Aliens versus Predator, which was no matter which side wins, we lose.
So but having said that, and I'm going to be absolutely open and transparent.
I have never voted for Doug Ford as Premier of Ontario.
I was an early adopter of, I guess you can call it Ford phobia, going back to 2018.
And the reason is, was Tanya Granick Allen, who was a candidate to lead the party, a bit of a long shot.
But during the convention, and this is after they ousted sneaky Patrick Brown with less than six months to go before an election, Tanya Granick Allen, at the last minute, had her delegates vote for Doug Ford to be leader.
If those votes did not go to him, guess what?
The Premier back then and the leader of the party would have been Christine Elliott because it was something like a 1%.
It was razor thin.
And it was thanks to Tanya Granick Allen, who was going to run as an MPP in Mississauga.
And then, and then Tamari Golini, guess what?
Some ancient social media posts emerge from Tanya Granick Allen.
I thought they were nothing burgers, but you know, they were a little too third rail for the party apparatus.
And she was thrown under the bus.
The kingmaker for Doug Ford in a heartbeat, treated like a used Kleenex.
You know, you were useful when I had to blow my nose.
And now that I have, I throw you in the trash.
And I could not take that.
And I just never, I realized, you know, my vote not going to the PC party wasn't going to make a tinker's dam.
But ethically and morally, I could not vote for this party after I saw that I haven't voted for this party since then.
I will not be voting for this party next month.
That's just how I feel.
And I know I get the idea of voting strategically and I get what you're saying.
Well, would Bonnie Crombie liberals and Merritt-style NDPers, would they be perhaps even worse?
Maybe, but I subscribe to ethics and morality, Tamara, and that's why I can't vote for this horrible party.
Yeah, I wonder if we'll see anything more from the New Blue Party or the, I think it was the Ontario First or Ontario, the Ontario Party.
I haven't heard anything from them since the 2022 election.
So I wonder if some of those other parties will come out of the woodwork and whether or not, you know, they would even garner enough support to get even an inkling on the map is a conversation for another day.
Well, the answer there, Tamara, is no.
And by the way, I'm not denouncing those parties.
There's a lot of good people with those parties.
But it is a Herculean effort for a startup party to get elected.
And we need look no further than Maxine Bernier, the leader of the People's Party of Canada, who I love, you know, as a person 100%.
But Maxine and his father, they held that Quebec riding, I think it was for something like 35 years combined.
And he could not get elected in that, what was originally or used to be a Bernier stronghold.
And so with all that brand equity and Maxine Bernier can't get elected, how can somebody with the likes of the New Blue Party or Ontario First get elected?
And I'm not, again, I'm not criticizing the parties or the people or their platforms.
They're great, but it's just a reality of our political system.
Doug Ford's Censorship Agenda00:03:00
Yeah, I see a tweet already being put out here by the New Blue Party of Ontario just 40 minutes ago, not even.
It says, Doug Ford spent billions of taxpayer dollars making sure PC and liberal lobbyists got rich off of COVID, and he did it without a mandate.
Now he wants to do it again by calling an election when people aren't paying attention because they are more concerned with staying warm.
On February 27th, vote New Blue.
So they're already coming out.
And you know what?
That is a fantastic point.
And the leader of the New Blue Party, Tamara, as you know, is Jim Karahalios, and he's a very smart man.
And yeah, maybe even if it means a protest vote, putting a new blue sign on my lawn, so be it.
I'm sorry, I just can't vote for the Doug Ford PCs.
Yeah, they flip-flopped too many times.
We have another quick super chat here from Ryerson Gary, and then I'm going to get into a Rumble ad read.
So So, Ryerson Gary says, Pickering counselor Lisa Robinson can't get a seconder on a motion to ban bribes.
In fact, she has had three suspensions without pay on similar issues.
Why?
No, Doug Ford and Conservative support.
I mean, they're, yeah, speaks for itself.
To Mary Ugolini, it's much worse than what Ryerson Gary points out.
Not only is the province of Ontario moving in to lay down the law with the city of Pickering, which is the most censorious municipality in all of Canada,
but they are right now, and maybe it'll die on the table because of this election call, looking at legislation that will have municipalities remove duly elected counselors like Lisa Robinson.
In fact, you could call this the Lisa Robinson rule without going through that messy business.
So, what's it called again?
Oh, yeah, an election.
So, just by a royal decree, if a counselor is making too many insensitive comments, asking too many impolite questions, off with her head.
And that is what the Doug Ford PCs believe in, that level of censorship.
Oh, and in the height of hypocrisy, Tamari Ugalini, that legislation would only apply to municipalities.
It wouldn't apply to Ontario MPPs.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
They're cut from a different cloth.
They are so much superior and intellectually pure than those municipal people.
Give me a break.
Thank you, Ryerson Gary, for reminding me as if I needed another reason not to vote for the PCs.
That's right.
Thanks so much, Ryerson Gary.
Police Overreach and Privacy00:16:24
I appreciate it.
All right.
So we have a quick ad read here from 5G Free.
I want to talk about the things that people are afraid to say out loud.
Who is in control of America's nukes?
It's not Biden.
Meanwhile, we have Russian ships off the coast of Florida and full-blown wars in Ukraine and Israel.
The world is at its most unstable point since World War II.
And with nuclear weapons, the stakes are 10 times higher.
How do people like you and I stay safe?
Every prepper needs to have Radio Guard ACE, the only FDA-approved drug to treat radioactive fallout.
Only the feds had it until now.
That's why Rumble partnered with 5G Free, the only company in the world that has a supply of Radio Guard ACE and the ability to prescribe it pro-Phil Act Licky.
Prophylactically.
Get their radiation energy kit with Radio Guard ACE, potassium iodide, Zofran, and a Geiger counter.
There's simply no other tool in your arsenal to protect against a radioactive threat.
Go to 5gfree.com, code studio to save 15%, and get yours today.
There you have it.
We'll go to a quick ad break and come back to some more crazy happenings within the federal government.
Canadians know the national anthem.
They stand in silence to remember those who died for this country.
But not every Canadian knows their rights and freedoms.
The Freedom Passport will change that.
It looks and feels like a Canadian passport, but contains the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in a portable, easy-to-read format.
The Freedom Passport.
Order one for yourself and for all the freedom lovers that you love at freedompassport.ca.
Yeah, maybe we can use the Freedom Passport to, you know, go over the border into the U.S. Should we become the 51st?
We don't need the actual official Canadian passport.
Which looks like such a joke now after Trudeau remodeled it.
I think, are they talking about going back to the original design?
I haven't heard, but it would be really nice to do that.
Although I did get a 10-year passport, and unfortunately, it's the new one.
So I don't know what happens to us.
We're upcreek without a paddle, I suppose.
100%.
So, well, why don't we move along?
What's that, Olivia?
This next report here we have from Alexa Levois, our Quebec correspondent.
We chatted a little bit about it on the live stream on Wednesday about how she was manhandled out of a Trudeau cabinet retreat this past weekend.
And we said we would have more to come about the targeting that her and our videographer, Guillaume Wa then faced trying to leave this event.
And we have a quick little, well, it's not quick, but we'll show you a quick snippet of the full video, which went out, I believe, last night, where you see exactly how Alexa and Guillaume were treated by the Quebec provincial police.
But let's play this little snippet first.
Alexa La Bois for Rebel News, reporting from Montebello, Quebec.
Today I'm bringing you a quick update on how the police are operating here in the province.
I came to Montebello to cover the liberal retreat taking place here.
We brought our truck to display a clear message.
We won an election now and it's time to end off Alberta.
For a while, our truck was parked peacefully.
And two provincial police seems to keep an eye on it.
Me and my colleague were at the retreat, but eventually we were asked to leave the property.
We complied without issue and continued our coverage by doing a stand-up nearby before driving around the city.
Then, as you might expect, the police pulled us over.
Initially, they cited something that led to no impression and no fines.
But since I was filming, it was obvious that the officer tried to dig for something to use against us.
That's when they accused me of not wearing a seatbelt.
A claim that is absolutely false.
This was a blatant attempt to target and punish me for doing journalism that challenges their narrative, meaning the narrative that align with the liberals.
After a back and forth, they issued me two fines.
One was for allegedly not wearing a seatbelt, which also came with three demerit points.
The second was for refusing to identify myself, which is also untrue.
I made it clear that I wanted to speak with my lawyer, a right I have when facing charges.
Moreover, as a passenger, I wasn't required to present ID.
I provided my name and they already had all the information they needed about me.
It's clear.
This wasn't that him.
For anybody who wants to see the full video, it's posted on X and then, of course, our YouTube Rumble and Rebel News website.
But I didn't realize in Quebec, so the law is different there.
That if you're a passenger and you get caught without a seatbelt, which if you watch that full video, you actually hear Alexa and Guillaume both buckle themselves because Alexa was filming the whole time.
Alexa's great, like that.
He's always rolling because you never know what's going to happen.
And this is a great example of why you keep rolling because you just don't know what you're going to need to prove or show video of in the future.
And so Alexa was filming the whole interaction when they're leaving the truck.
They get into their vehicle because they could see that the police were watching them.
And you can hear them both buckle their seatbelts.
But regardless, I didn't realize that in Quebec, as a passenger, if you aren't buckled, you will also, you'll get a fine, but you'll also lose demerit points.
So we don't have that in Ontario.
You have to, you have to be a driver.
Only drivers can lose demerit points.
But as a passenger, she can as well, which is just crazy.
And we know the Quebec police are notorious for abusing their powers.
But Tamara, it's a moot point.
They were buckled up.
There was no crime.
This is banana republic garbage.
Well, of course, we can't grow bananas in Canada.
So let's call our once-proud Dominion a maple syrup republic.
It's kind of like you're in some, you know, tin pot dictatorship, and the cop there pulls you over and says, sir, you have a broken taillight and you get out of your car and go, really?
And where?
And then the cop takes out a hammer and smashes the taillight.
There, what are you going to do about it?
But then again, if you don't want the ticket, maybe as you pass your documents to me, there'll be some do-ray me.
This is garbage, right?
And it's happening too often.
And when I see Alexa like that, I mean, the other clip earlier of her getting, you know, manhandled out of the resort by that soy boy.
Unless you're under arrest, you can't make contact with people.
You know, I think of that great line by Charlton Heston in the first Planet of the Apes movie, Tamara.
Get your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty ape.
You know, that's how I feel when I see that.
And, you know, they say misery loves company.
I say it ain't true.
I went through this same bullshite earlier this month with Uncle Fester of the Mounties, aka Greg Dumaschel, making a false police report to the OPP saying that Lincoln J and I blew through a red light, his words, right?
Yeah, too bad, Uncle Fester.
We have a dash cam that showed you're lying again.
This is the guy a year ago that physically assaulted me and falsely arrested me.
And speaking of the OPP, let us not forget last May when I was arrested for being at a public rugby field.
The official charge was trespassing, but the real agenda was they didn't want me to ask a transgender so-called man pretending to be a female and injuring real females.
There is your Canadian police at work.
And Tamara, it breaks my heart because I like to think we back the blue and we do back the blue, but there are rotten cops and there are rotten police services with rotten cultures.
And you just saw it with the Quebec provincial police with Alexa.
And you can't mollycoddle these guys.
Dumaschelle, I am absolutely shocked that he is not on at least desk duty as opposed to being fired outright.
Officer Bubbles, another thug on the Toronto Police Service that arrested this diminutive lady for blowing bubbles, claimed it was assault.
He's not been fired.
He's been promoted.
I believe he's a sergeant right now.
And, you know, is anything going to happen to those cops lying, openly lying about seatbelts?
We want two things from our police, don't we?
A, uphold the law.
B, tell the truth, right?
Especially when you're on the witness stand.
That is the worst kind of lie because these are our guardians.
And if they lie, they can put you away for a long, long time.
So I can hardly wait to see when we get our day in court with Alexa on this one.
You know, I can internally take it, Tamara.
I don't know about you, but when I see my colleagues bullied this way, especially by those in authority, my blood boils.
Yeah.
And where are all these so-called advocates who are saying, you know, women journalists are being targeted and all the violence and the hate and the harassment.
And then you see your female colleague, journalist, be physically removed and manhandled by Trudeau's staffers, right?
This isn't private.
These aren't even security guards.
It's nothing to do with the property owner asking her to leave and she won't or trespass.
There's no police.
These are staffers manhandling a journalist who is quite literally just trying to ask a question.
Why aren't you calling an election?
And this is the way that they're treated and radio silence crickets from all these supposed advocacy groups.
It's astounding.
Great point.
Canadian Civil Liberties Association, Penn Canada, Canadian Association for Journalists for Free Expression.
Where the hell are you, people?
Are you that criticized?
Governor General Mary Simons, who hosted a media, I forget what it was called exactly, but it was denouncing, you know, violence and hatred against women in the media space.
Just last year, she hosted this whole panel about it funded by our tax dollars.
And nope, radio silence from all of them.
But I really liked Joe Warmington's take on it.
He's our friend from the Toronto Sun.
He said, he calls it a police state, point blank, tags Justin Trudeau and Francois Legault, the premier of Quebec in there.
He says, if Alexa Lavois had been at an illegal crossing at Wroxham Road, they would have carried her bags.
But instead, to please a clinging to power prime minister in government, they make up a charge the way Trudeau made up the Emergencies Act.
Police abusing their position is a serious matter.
This is how they do it in Cuba.
It's a sign of a failing country.
Donald Trump sees the imbalance toward conservatives.
Canada needs an election.
And that's quite literally what Alexa was asking Trudeau is, why aren't you calling an election?
But Joe Warmington, who I love like a brother, Tamara, he is the statistical anomaly out there when it comes to mainstream media.
There should be an avalanche of tweets just like that one.
And by the way, since Joe Warmington's going to bat for us, I'll go to bat for him.
I urge our viewers to read his column of yesterday.
I believe the headline was simply broken.
It is an inventory of what the Justin Trudeau liberals have done to Canada.
It's beautifully written.
And wow, if you needed a reminder, and certainly we don't when we go to the gas pump and the grocery store of how bad things are after 10 years of this vandal in the prime minister's office, if you need a reminder, read Joe Warmington's column broken.
It's really, it's a shattering piece of journalism.
And Alberta Dawn gives us a $5 rumble rant.
Thank you so much.
She says, premiers, or she, I don't want to assume your gender, premiers should have been meeting with their U.S. counterpart as soon as it was obvious Trump would win.
Trump is promising red carpet service for any company that brings a billion dollars.
Yeah, you'd think being proactive might have worked in some people's favor, but our leaders don't think that way.
No, and uh at the house of at Parliament Hill, uh, Tamara, the lights are on, but nobody's home at the worst possible time, right?
Thanks for tuning into this podcast, and thanks for hearing.
Yeah, thanks for tuning into this podcast.

You can do so by subscribing to our exclusive content at RebelNewsplus.com.
That means get exclusive shows, documentary, behind the scenes, and more.
And it's for a cheap price as low as $8 to start.
We appreciate your support.
I don't even know if the lights are on.
Yeah.
The lights are off and no one's home.
It's just dead silence there.
It's it's it's really it's not obviously in the best interest of Canadians, uh, Trudeau.
This is clearly political posturing.
Mark Miller, I think it was, yeah, it was Mark Miller just the other day confirmed that this was to buy the Liberals time to choose Trudeau's successor.
So this isn't about what's best for Canadians.
How Governor General Mary Simons ever agreed to proroguing parliament in such a tumultuous time is beyond me.
Shows how compromised and self-serving all of them are.
And then, you know, meanwhile, we have this paralyzed parliament, no parliamentary business.
Anything that was already on the docket is now off because of the prorogation of parliament.
But we have our one of our largest bureaucracies and most difficult to deal with bureaucracy, the Canadian Revenue Agency, the CRA, is saying that they are going to just go ahead with the proposed capital gains tax.
That's really, even though it hasn't been approved by Parliament.
And so I have the piece that we wrote up just a couple of days ago where the Canadian Taxpayers Federation is taking the CRA to court over this capital gains hike and fighting it based on the fact that it's unconstitutional to go ahead and do this because it hasn't been properly approved and voted through our parliamentary system, which is at a complete standstill.
And any new business would now have to be reintroduced when parliament is up and functioning again, which I believe when that happens, there will be a snap election and we'll head into new leadership.
Canadian Taxpayers Challenge00:05:20
So all of these different variables aside, how the CRA is proceeding to do this is absolutely absurd.
And I think the CRA as a whole, that entire bureaucracy needs to be completely dismantled and investigated because the things that they are doing and the way it's being run is beyond the pale, in my opinion.
100%, Tamara Ugolini.
This is an appalling story.
I get it.
The Canadian Revenue Agency thinks it is a government onto itself.
It has governmental powers.
It can freeze your bank account or just take money out of your bank account.
I bet Fraudline Freeland is down with that.
She won't have a problem.
But the fact is, you are the bureaucracy.
You are not the legislative branch of government.
That's the party in charge.
And as we just said, it seems like nobody's in charge.
You have absolutely zero right.
And Tamara, I tell you, if that court challenge fails, God help us all, because that will set a precedent of other bureaucracies going, well, yeah, you know, it's not, you know, it hasn't been approved in parliament, but we think they might have, could have, should have approved it.
So we're going to enforce this as law.
No, no, it doesn't work that way.
Yeah, I really like that the Devin Drover, the general counsel for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
I'm just going to quote him in this article.
He says there should be no taxation without representation.
That's why we are now taking Trudeau and the CRA to court, right?
Taxation without representation is illegal, right?
It is unlawful.
If you're being taxed, you need to have fair and accurate representation.
And I would argue that on a lot of different levels, we are being taxed without representation as it stands right now.
But this is a glaring instance of that.
And yeah, if the courts, depending on how the courts go with this, and also there's another court challenge where there's been a motion filed to un-porogue parliament.
And the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms has filed that on behalf of, I know one lawyer, Aris Arvanos, I think his name is, and someone else on behalf of the two of them.
And they're calling on the courts to bring Parliament back into session because of such importance and things happening on the world stage with the tariffs and basically just, well, basically just the tariffs, and that we need a functioning parliament to do what is in the best interest of Canadians.
So these are two really important things that are going ahead in the Canadian court system.
And we'll see, hopefully, they're successful and we could have parliament back functioning sooner rather than later.
And this unlegislated tax hike on capital gains thrown to the wayside.
Well, if I had to bet, Tamara Ugolini, and based on the NFL playoffs last weekend, that didn't go so well for me.
But anyway, if I had to bet, I would predict that the Canadian Taxpayers Federation claim against the Canadian Revenue Agency implementing a policy that's not law.
I honestly, I'm not a lawyer, but I can't see how that goes down to defeat.
I really can't.
The other one, as much as I think the proroguing is odious, especially given the rationale and the reasons, I can't see that winning.
I really can't.
I think the prime minister, as much as you may loathe him, folks, he is in his power to do this.
It's being done before.
In fact, in the history of Canada, I understand only twice has the governor general defied the prime minister.
And, you know, that's just the nature of the beast.
So I don't know if I had, again, if I had to bet a dollar on that one, I'm betting against it, even though I want them to win.
So we'll see.
But how do you feel on the likability, you know, the probability, I should say, Tamara, of success with either of those cases?
Well, I think it's really promising that the federal, a federal judge did expedite that legal challenge for the motion to get Parliament back in session.
So they did recognize that there was a timeliness factor involved in the motion to overturn the prorogation.
So that to me signals that the judge agrees to some extent that this should at least be heard on the merits of the arguments.
And that is coming up February 14th and 15th.
Chief Justice Paul Crampton was the one who put this, expedited this hearing.
And we'll see, I guess, where that ends up.
But I think that in and of itself is a promising sign.
And otherwise, I haven't seen the court documents myself for the filings done by the Taxpayers Federation.
But yeah, if it all hinges on the fact that this is unlawful and unconstitutional, I don't see how a court would be able to side otherwise.
I think this is just an example of a bureaucracy taking an inch, you know, trying to take an inch and get a mile and just see how far they can push things.
Bureaucracy Pushing Boundaries00:04:30
Because, I mean, the CRA, I've had to deal with them in the past and they are absolutely atrocious to deal with.
Actually, had to, I ended up having to get my member of parliament involved because I could not get anywhere.
And I'm very well versed in how to advocate.
And I'm very diligent in note-taking and keeping track of everything.
And it took me 12 years.
I'm not even joking.
The story would shock anybody.
I'm not going to get into it here, but 12 years to get resolved with the CRA.
And I still got shafted.
Despicable.
They are an absolutely abysmal bureaucracy to deal with.
They don't return your calls.
You get pushed around every which way with different case managers.
No one knows who what the one before them did.
Now you can't even deal with people that speak English, let alone be able to read up on your file and know what's going on.
And it is absurd.
And meanwhile, you're paying them and you're taking time away from whatever else, you know, whether you're working or you're at home doing other things.
It takes hours to reach anybody.
And then you sit on hold and be passed around and they're getting paid and I'm not.
And you're not getting anywhere.
This, it's a, it's a very disabysmal bureaucracy to try to deal with.
And Tamara Ugolini, I don't know the details of your case, but here is the problem.
And I'm sure you are savvy about this.
You can't lose your temper.
You can't throw FB.
Tamara, I would rather deal with the mob, okay, on Pier 5 than deal with somebody at the CRA.
And I'm sure there are good people at the CRA.
I'm not, you know, tarring everyone with the same brush, but they have power over your lives and they can make your life miserable.
And I'll give you a quick anecdote.
Many years ago on talk radio, I heard somebody phone in, and this is a shocking story.
And his friend was someone that worked with the CRA and they were in Hamilton, Ontario, and they were walking down the road.
And a Porsche, a brand new Porsche, 9-11, drove by and it had a vanity plate, like the one on your shelf there that says Ugalini.
And what the vanity plate said was paid for.
And the fellow who was the CRA employee, he went, oh, that is just so in your face.
That is not right.
That's just flaunting your wealth.
Guess what, Tamara Ugolini?
That poor owner of the Porsche was subjected to five years of audits for no reason other than the message miffed this guy who was probably driving a 10-year-old Chevy or whatnot.
That to me, you know, shivers me timbers.
Yeah, they'll just get you any which way that they can.
That's what I've learned with the CRA.
And with that, we are about seven minutes after 2 p.m.
So I see some work piling up here.
And I think we've run through our topics.
If there's no more rumble rants, not that I see.
Okay.
We can send everybody off to have a great weekend.
It's as great as it can be, given what we've just discussed.
Indeed, as I like to say, thank God it's TGIF.
Did I get that right?
Anyways, Tamara, thanks for filling in for the sensational Sheila Gun Reid, who is still in Davos, I do believe.
And by the way, I want to say to the team, they are knocking it out of the park.
Those reports, folks, if you haven't seen them, they are going after the heaviest hitters and asking the kind of impolite, insensitive questions the mainstream media dare not ask these richie-rich types.
Every video has been an absolute home run.
So, I salute my colleagues there, the big boss man, Ezra Levant, Avi Yamini, Leapin Lincoln Jay, and Sheila the she-devil, Gunread.
So, folks, please take a look.
And folks, thank you for tuning in.
A special thank you to those who made a financial contribution.
We greatly appreciate that.
I will be back in this chair on Monday with the aforementioned Sheila Gunread.
In the meantime, have a great weekend.
And as always, stay safe and stay sane.
Executive Orders Restoring Freedom00:00:56
America is also a free nation once again.
On day one, I signed an executive order to stop all government censorship.
No longer will our government label the speech of our own citizens as misinformation or disinformation, which are the favorite words of censors and those who wish to stop the free exchange of ideas and, frankly, progress.
We have saved free speech in America, and we've saved it strongly.
With another historic executive order this week, I also ended the weaponization of law enforcement against the American people and, frankly, against politicians, and restored the fair, equal, and impartial rule of law.
My administration has taken action to abolish all discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion nonsense.
And these are policies that were absolute nonsense throughout the government and the private sector.
