Time Text
On the second, people, we might be living through a revolution of live streaming and news coverage.
So first of all, let everyone trickle in.
Let me see if the video is live.
I'm tethering off my phone on my computer, which is balanced precariously on the steering wheel of this car and a booster seat underneath to prop it up flat and level.
How does everyone hear me?
How does everyone see me?
The shadow's a little bad, so it's going to be darker up here, but we will not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Let me hear if the audio is good, the video is good.
If we're streaming smoothly, people in the chat, I'll wait for the StreamYard comments to update.
And then in the meantime, I'll set up the schedule so that everybody...
Loud and clear.
Good.
Good.
Sound is great.
Good.
Yeah, we're doing two things today.
Starting off, because of popular demand, people were saying, Viva, you gotta talk about Bill 67 coming out of Ontario.
And for those of you who might have missed it, because it was super short notice, look, we went through that bill more thoroughly than anybody in mainstream legacy media.
Did that last night.
8.30 at night with Jim and Belinda Kalaharios.
I messed it up.
You know who I'm talking about.
Kalaharios, who are members of the New Blue Party in Ontario, the provincial party, not the federal party.
So they're not competing with the People's Party of Canada people.
They are a...
This is really cool, actually.
That man has no idea.
He just walked through a stream.
Or that man right there.
Jim Kalaharios and Belinda Kalaharios.
Belinda is a member of provincial parliament in Ontario.
Her husband, Jim Kalaharios, they both founded a new political party.
It's kind of an amazing story of accomplishment.
A new party.
It was founded or incorporated in 2020 or 2021.
Like, that new.
And they are going to be running virtually a full slate of candidates in the next provincial elections.
So we went over Bill C-67, not C-67, sorry, Bill 67, which is Ontario legislation to amend the Education Act.
That's the technical name.
A more accurate name is it is legislated critical race theory in Ontario.
And why is it so important?
For good or for bad, for good or for bad, Ontario tends to set the legal legislative...
Political, cultural standard for Canada.
And so, if this legislation passes in Ontario, it's a sign of things to come in Canada.
And my goodness, we walked through it, and it's a pretty shocking piece of legislation.
Because on the one hand, it's not clear that it responds to any existing problem.
And on the other hand, it's going to cause a lot more problems.
Hands down.
This is not my car, people.
I drive a Subaru.
I am borrowing this.
I never want to give this car back, but I have to.
But my God, is it beautiful.
Okay, so we did that last night.
Won't go over it in any greater detail than that.
Jim and Belinda Kalaharios are an amazing couple.
They are an amazing pair of humans.
And they're doing amazing stuff.
Hold on.
Do we give these standard updates?
I do.
Any update on the non-vax trailer?
I don't know, man.
I don't know what it is.
I think, as far as I understand, it's still required for international travel.
Guys, I'm telling you, this is not my car.
I can't get, first of all, we can't get leather for our car, and certainly not white.
We've got three kids and two dogs, even when the car is black cloth interior, as is our Subaru Ascent.
It gets so freaking dirty, it's beyond words.
My mouth and sound don't match.
That might be your slow modem, Canadian Valerie.
Or it might be mine.
Who knows?
Okay, so we did that last night.
Bill 67. Amazing discussion.
New blue party out of Ontario.
Check him out.
Not a political endorsement.
I just enjoyed the discussion that we had.
The other thing that people were telling me, Viva, you gotta cover.
Cain Velasquez.
And once upon a time, when I used to be able to stay up later than 10 o 'clock, 11 o 'clock, I used to watch UFC.
I loved UFC.
I mean, my heyday was back when John Hardy was there.
Oh, geez.
GSP, George St. Pierre.
But who's the one I'm thinking of?
Oh, the guy with the goatee who GSP fought.
It had a...
Oh, Johnny Hendricks.
I mean, that was...
And Anderson Silva.
I mean, that was...
Those were the days when I was into UFC.
I once upon a time started a YouTube channel called Viva MMA, which is still out there.
But we used to be big into UFC.
Then what ended up happening is I would order the fight, we would pay $65 to watch a fight, and I would fall asleep before the main event, and then I just gave up.
But I'm still big into it.
Your hair and sound don't match.
Cameron, nice to see you again.
So I used to be big into the UFC, and then I fell out of it big time, so much so that I didn't even hear what happened to Cain Velasquez.
That person had a sports expert bag.
I think they were carrying it.
No, Simon's.
I'll stop getting distracted by the people walking up behind me.
So what was I saying?
So Cain Velasquez, I didn't even hear what had happened.
Then I started hearing some rumblings.
Then I started hearing some rumors.
And then with all the people saying, Viva, Bill 67, Cain Velasquez, we need you to cover it.
I guess people want to know what I think about it.
I looked into it.
We're going to start this live stream by going over the Cain Velasquez situation.
I found his, not a warrant, but his...
We're going to go over it, read through them.
Before I even get into that, standard disclaimers, people.
YouTube Super Chats.
Thank you all for the Super Chats.
Thank you for the support.
We are simultaneously streaming on Rumble.
YouTube takes 30% of Super Chats.
If people out there don't like it, I would understand that.
You might want to go watch on Rumble, support us on Rumble.
They take 20% of the equivalent known as Rumble Rants, so you can feel better supporting the creator and supporting a platform that actually supports free speech.
I may not get to all of them if I don't, and you're going to be miffed or feel grifted, shilled, whatever.
Don't do it.
I don't want anyone feeling bad or grifted or shilled or whatever.
What else?
That's it.
No medical advice, no legal advice, no election fortification advice.
And that's it.
Now, the schedule for the day is good.
I love this.
This is like a full 360, beautiful, broad daylight, downtown Montreal.
The schedule for the day, I haven't been following the chat.
Who says I'm above the law?
Okay, I don't know what.
That better be a compliment.
So there's another special thing that I'm doing today.
I think a lot of you from the chat know who Alexa Lavoie is.
She's a rebel news journalist.
I've known her for a while.
I've known Rebel for a while.
They do great work, if anybody doesn't know who they are.
Probably the one of two or three news outlets in Canada that's actually doing journalism and not mouthpiece propagandism for the government.
Alexa Lavoie is one of their journalists out of Quebec City.
She's been doing incredible work.
And she...
Has been getting some incredible treatment from the government.
It started with a viral clip a little while back of Justin Trudeau being somewhat disrespectful to her, not answering her question, continuing to demonize rebel media and Alexa Lavoie and ignoring her entirely because why would you ignore a female journalist when you are the most progressive politician ever?
It's 2022.
So she got assaulted.
By police officers at the Ottawa protests, shot in the leg point blank with a tear gun canister, wearing full credentials, doing her job.
An amazing story.
Hold on, is that her?
Oh, it says they're running late 10 minutes.
So, Alexa Lovell is coming through Montreal, and I said, Alexa, we're going to meet up.
We're going to do an interview in real time, live on the street.
And so she's getting off the bus, and we're going to meet up in downtown and walk around.
I said, but before we do that...
I'm going to cover the Cain Velasquez story.
So, what's going to happen, by the way, I'm going to cover Cain Velasquez, we're going to talk about it, and then I'm going to close my computer and go live on my phone.
So there will be a bit of a lag where you'll see a black screen.
I haven't gone anywhere.
I'm just going to close the computer down to get live on my selfie stick iPhone, which was my rig for live streaming the entire Ottawa protest.
Alexa is boss.
They're all amazing.
I mean, David Menzies, you could argue he's a little too antagonistic, but my goodness, does he have cojones on him?
Alexa Lavoie, I don't think she's antagonistic at all, but she's got courage.
I met Lincoln Jay in Ottawa.
I know Ezra Levant.
I mean, they're all doing journalistic God's work.
They're doing what actual media is not doing.
Something about being free of government subsidies is it actually allows you to be free to be honest and thorough and investigative journalists.
Yeah, pink, hold on.
I'll tell you why.
I'll tell you why.
You can't lose a pink iPhone.
When you drop this in the snow, when you drop this in the leaves, when you forget it somewhere in a house, it's a lot easier to find than a black case.
So I've learned that the hard way, and it's for good reason.
That and...
I like hot pink.
There's nothing wrong with it.
Okay, so that's going to be the schedule.
Right now we're going to start Cain Velasquez.
For those of you who have been living under a UFC rock, such as myself, you know what?
Stop it.
I'm going to get one super chat before I go live, before we go over Cain Velasquez.
You and Robert should consider speaking with Susan Bassey in California if you haven't already.
She is doing a lot to point out the corruption in law enforcement and the judicial system.
Screenshotted.
And we're good.
I haven't been downtown in a while, so this is interesting.
Okay, and then we got this.
Viva, can you and Alexa also discuss the allegations around Trudeau's departure from West Point?
There is nearly no information online apart from the dated Reddit posts.
Any insight?
The only insight I can give you on that is there's an article floating around on a...
I wouldn't say just a questionable news outlet or an outlet.
Don't rely on it.
It has posted information that is absolute fake news that makes people who share it look foolish.
So I can't share anything on it.
I've heard the same rumors everyone else has.
All right, now we're starting with Cain Velasquez.
For anybody who doesn't know, Cain Velasquez was at one point in time, I might make a mistake on this, he was a UFC heavyweight champion.
He was, I don't think he, yeah, he was a heavyweight champion.
I'm unsure about the weight class.
He was badass.
I mean, he was badass of a fighter.
He was amazing.
And this was back in the day when it was awesome, the UFC.
I mean, the UFC has always been awesome.
It was really awesome in the first three seasons when they had no rules.
And then it just became awesome in terms of skill set and the weight classes and the skill levels within the classes.
Cain Velasquez was among my favorites.
A big, burly, badass dude.
Great fighter.
Retired from UFC.
I hadn't known that he got into WWE, into wrestling.
I didn't know that apparently, I mean, looking into it, apparently it was not one of the best acquisitions the WWE made.
He was let go.
His contract was cancelled, whatever.
The story where it becomes relevant for love logs and where people started saying, Viva, what do you think?
And had you heard of this?
So apparently...
He has been, not apparently, he has been arrested for attempted murder because word on the street was that before the details came out, he opened fire on a car that was carrying an individual who was alleged, but in fact seems to have been confirmed to have done very naughty things with a very underage, immediate relative of Cain Velasquez's family.
So this individual...
On whom Cain Velasquez allegedly opened fire was the big P-word.
And Cain Velasquez apparently discovered this information, flew into something of a rage, rear-ended the vehicle, which was carrying this individual and two other people, and then opened fire on the vehicle, striking not the perpetrator, but the perpetrator's father-in-law, who's going to survive.
Broad daylight, you know...
Crowded downtown area.
That's what happened.
Arrested on attempted murder charges and denied bail.
Now, we're going to go get an article.
I hope I don't knock my computer over by doing this.
Car double parking behind us.
Cain Velasquez.
No, those are the charges.
Here we go.
Share.
Give me one second to make sure that this is...
Yeah, looks good.
Okay.
I'm going to go to the article.
Okay, boom, here we go.
So, ex-UFC star Cain Velasquez denied bail in shooting, targeting, accused, because they're all accused, as is Cain Velasquez, the P-word.
The differing treatment of Velasquez and the alleged perpetrator, Goulart, is why people are disgusted, and rightfully so, with the criminal justice system, his lawyer added.
Because what ended up happening is the judge denied bail to Velasquez for reasons which I'm not sure if this article goes into.
But basically saying he is such an imminent danger and the risk of recitative...
The risk of him going out and trying to do it again is too much to let him go pending his trial.
Or pending, I don't know, adequate terms of release, which maybe they revisit later.
A lot of people out there are going to be saying, well, if the accused P-word were behind bars, well, then Cain Velasquez could be released with no risk to the individual.
And a lot of people...
Present company included believe that that individual should probably be behind bars pending his trial.
But whether or not that can justify what Cain Velasquez did, we'll get there in a second.
Two-time UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez bail bid has been torpedoed by a California judge.
That was not Cain Velasquez.
I thought that was him.
The 39-year-old bruiser is charged with attempted murder after a feverish race in Silicon Valley ended with him allegedly shooting the stepfather of events accused of very, very bad things.
The judge said it was reckless when he fired the gun and denied bail on Monday.
According to the cops, he was arrested after he chased a pickup truck for 18 kilometers, ramming the vehicle repeatedly during the high-speed chase.
Inside the truck was a very, very, very bad man.
He then allegedly fired his.40 caliber at the truck several times, hitting his quarries, stepfather, I don't know what that word means, who was driving the vehicle in the arm and torso.
Goulart and his mom were also in the vehicle.
Okay, so here we go.
I mean, you can read this.
I don't want to read it.
I'll leave it up for a few seconds just so you can read it.
But the important thing is the accused P-word individual released from jail.
Home detention.
Maybe he should have been in home detention before.
Apparently this was a known problem with him.
Repping Velasquez's famed lawyer to the stars, Mark Garagos.
So Garagos explains why.
Is there anybody out there who would say to a father that is not what you should do, Garagos declared?
This is where you get into the ethical side of it.
You know, Rogan came out and, you know, had his things to say.
He said he only wished that Velasquez had used his fists and not a firearm.
It would have been a world of difference had that been the case.
Let's see here.
I mean, let's read this.
About 100 people wearing a t-shirt that says three canes showed up at the Santa Clara courthouse to support the UFC.
Great.
The sad tragedies that Mr. Velasquez chose to take the law into his own hands, endangering the public and everyone in the truck.
The police said the act of violence also caused more pain and suffering to his family.
Since retiring in 2019, Velasquez has focused on training up and coming UFC fighters.
In addition to attempted murder, he was charged with nine other felony counts, including assault or firearm.
Well, let's actually just go there for a second.
So, that is what he is alleged to have done.
The bottom line is, I don't think it's going to be a question of whether or not he did it.
It's going to be a question of whether or not there are attenuating psychological factors that might mitigate what he did.
But let's just take a quick peek.
Hold on.
Morality versus law.
It's very hard for human beings to distinguish between the two.
I'll get into what I think of this afterwards.
Let's just go share very quickly the charges, which are Cain Velasquez case summary.
Here we go.
And I know that we're seeing this properly, but just to satisfy my neuroses, open it up, StreamYard, and it will be fine.
When I open it up.
Okay, perfect.
Here we go.
So we got the Cain Velasquez.
How old is he?
1982.
He's younger than me.
All right, and here we go.
Count one.
Attempted murder in violation of penal code, yada, yada, yada.
A felony was committed by Cain Ramirez Velasquez, who did attempts to unlawfully and with malice aforethought kill a human being.
It is further alleged that in commission of the offense, the defendant willfully, deliberately, and with premeditation attempted the murder of the individual.
Then we get into the other one.
It's further alleged.
Here we are on this paragraph.
Oh, sorry.
The one before he discharged a handgun within the meaning of the penal code.
Further alleged that in the commission of the foregoing offense, the defendant personally used a firearm and is not eligible for probation or for the suspension of the execution of or imposition of sentence.
Okay, and then we just, he maliciously and willfully discharged the handgun at an occupied motor vehicle.
Personally inflicted great bodily harm upon Paul Bender, a person not an accomplice to the offense.
Commit an assault upon the person Paul Bender with a firearm.
Same, same, same.
Commit assault upon the person of Patricia Goulart with a firearm.
So basically it's the same charge for everybody in the car, the same two charges.
Assault upon the person of Harry Goulart with a firearm.
Assault upon the person of Paul Bender with a deadly weapon.
Commit assault upon the person of Patricia Goulart with a deadly weapon.
And it goes on.
Maliciously discharge of a firearm.
Count ten.
I mean, this is it.
Alright.
So that's it.
And then the question is...
Any angry father, any angry parent would have done the same thing.
Maybe.
And there's a difference between whether or not someone says they would have done the same thing versus whether or not they would have, in fact, done the same thing.
The reality is twofold in this.
Joe Rogan, and people out there cheering, this is how you have to do it.
Yay.
Take justice into your own hands because the justice system doesn't work.
The situation you had before was that the accused P-word had ruined someone else's life.
And now as a result of Cain taking the law into his own hands, that accused P-word has now successfully ruined two people's lives.
Because Cain Velasquez, he is going to go to jail for this.
In the relative prime, I consider this to be the prime of his life, not the prime of his fighting life, but the prime of his, it's the prime of his life.
You know, he could have been productive.
Making a living, making money, improving other people's lives, but understandably so, flew into an absolute rage, probably once he discovered what had been going on, an uncontrollable rage, which I'm sure people out there can understand and appreciate, and did this, and now successfully ruined his own life.
And the people out there, it's going to be bifurcated, there's going to be two types of people out there, the ones who are saying, yeah, go do it, and I would have done the same thing.
When they might not have done the same thing, and it's very easy to encourage someone else who's done something else and who's effectively martyred themselves, it's easy to encourage them and say, you did the right thing, I would have done the same thing, but I'm going home to my family tonight, and you're still in jail, Kane.
So, you know, the people saying, good for him, he did what's right, and it's, you know, that's sort of keyboard warrior, that's a word, that's playing the keyboard warrior.
And saying, good for you, Cain.
You did it.
You showed him.
And now you're going to jail for 10 to 20, and I'm going home for dinner.
Then there's the other people who might very well have done the exact same thing.
But there's a world of difference in justifying what you shouldn't do because it will, in the moment, make you feel good for having done versus doing what you know you should do or should not do, despite it not satisfying what you want to do in that very moment.
And that is make sure the legal system takes its course.
And not effectively ruin more lives in the process.
I'll get to the denying bail in a second.
From what I understand, guys, everybody out there, I'm not a criminal lawyer.
I studied criminal law in Canada.
Was my worst grade in university.
I'm not a lawyer in the States.
I don't know these things.
I mean, I know these things in as much as a lawyer can understand the law of other jurisdictions.
But I'm not an expert.
So take any of my opinion with a grain of salt.
You know, the facts of the story.
Some opinions, some nuance I can give.
If you want legal opinions, get a lawyer in your jurisdiction who will give you an opinion based on, you know, the facts.
My thoughts on justification are if justice system will not seek justice, morals before the law, always.
I'm pro-public gallows.
Okay, you say that for...
Look, first of all, whether or not you believe it, you may very well believe it, but then, you know, if you...
It's good.
You'll be in jail.
And it is easy to say these things.
You know, it's easy to say these things.
Let's just have trial by mom.
You know, right up until you get someone who actually happens to be innocent.
It's like, okay, in the ideal circumstances, okay, maybe you believe this.
Whether or not you want to be the one to actually do it and go to jail for the rest of your life for having done what you think is morally righteous, that's a personal decision.
I don't ever think people should take the law into their own hands because you will not win.
All that you're going to end up doing, in some sense, I mean, this guy who did what he did to that underage individual is probably now sitting there saying, well done, Kane.
I ruined another person's life and now I get to walk away from it.
I get to go home on house arrest.
The system being, you know, I won't say irreparably broken, but definitively compromised, definitively broken.
There's no question about it.
You imagine this guy.
This accused P-word, and apparently there's some very, very egregious circumstances to it, like he was living in a home daycare or something along those lines.
I don't want to get into it.
The facts are egregious.
And the fact that this guy goes home for detention when the January 6th defendants are still in jail a year later, pre-trial detention, no one's going to tell me that the system is not potentially irreparably effed, irreparably screwed.
Potentially.
Dude, I got a full 360, Cameron.
I see everything.
I even have my reverse cam on.
You know, the system is irreparably broken.
Maybe not irreparably, but it's fundamentally broken.
And the fact that this accused P-word goes home for home detention when individuals in January 6th non-violent trespass, even if you want to call it obstructing government process, government proceedings, they're still in jail over a year later.
What's up?
But the reform does not come from people taking justice into their own hands, because all they're going to do, whether it's Cain Velasquez vis-a-vis this P-word, or, you know, protesters getting violent to make their point, the system's only going to come down with the iron fist of fury on Cain Velasquez for, on the one hand, exposing the problem, and on the other hand, trying to enact justice in what is...
Not arguably.
If the allegations are true, in an objectively reckless manner, where Cain Velasquez, in his fit of rage, could have killed somebody else who had nothing to do with anything.
I'm not talking about the people in the car.
I mean, other people who had nothing to do with anything.
Elements of the offense aside, do you think it was necessary to deny him bail?
Was there really a public interest concern?
If he flew into such a rage that he wanted to do this to the individual, and that individual is out?
Yeah, I mean, what are you going to do?
Put a restraining order on him vis-a-vis the accused P-word and say don't go near him?
I mean, for the accused P-word, that guy will always be living in fear of Cain Velasquez or other people who might be equally enraged.
So, from that perspective, yes, I understand it.
Flip side is, why on earth is this guy even still out of jail now, given what he's accused of?
Put him in jail.
And if he's in jail, is there then a risk to the public of Cain Velasquez attempting to seek justice on his own against one individual in particular?
But as far as these facts go, I can only apply it to the cases that I've seen.
Mischief being denied bail for two and a half weeks.
This guy, to the extent that the accused P-word is out, what is Cain Velasquez possibly going to do to...
Convince a court that he's not going to be a risk to that individual.
I don't think there's anything.
I don't think there's anything.
We already have trial by mob.
There's no question about that.
It's a social media mob.
It's a cancel culture mob.
No question about that.
Forced name change.
He will be looking forward to his...
And that's another issue.
We know the stats on these types of criminals.
We know the stats.
We know the prognosis for, what's the word?
Not healing, but rather remedy.
It's virtually non-existent.
This is not me talking.
This is police officers with experience talking.
But the bottom line, he shouldn't have done it.
Period.
He shouldn't have done it.
You can call me whatever coward name you want.
He should not have done it because all he's done now is he's ruined even more people's lives.
As a result of something that I'm sure he was out of his mind.
I'm sure he was out of his wits, out of absolute control of his own actions.
They call it premeditation, but this is what I would call a crime of passion.
There is still a crime of passion defense, as far as I understand, someone correct me if I'm wrong, not in terms of innocence, but in terms of mitigating sentencing.
You walk in and you catch your spouse in bed with somebody else and you flip into an uncontrollable rage.
It doesn't make you innocent, but it can mitigate the sentence.
So, I mean, there is no question he was absolutely in a fit of rage, out of his mind, and at that time, a risk to the individual and ultimately and unfortunately a risk to everyone who he may have crossed paths with.
Okay, well, that's it.
I don't know what boring means, but that is it.
That is the Cain Velasquez.
What else is going on?
And the people talking tough.
It's very easy to talk tough and say, good for you.
Good for you.
And I'm sure he'll have friends and people will respect him.
But unfortunately, he's going to now go do a substantial amount of time for what he's done.
Temporary insanity.
I don't know what the exact term would be.
Where it is.
I'm going to look out for Alexa.
See where she is.
What time do we have here?
Okay, let me see where she is here.
ETA?
What else does anyone want to know while we're waiting for Alexa to get here?
Updates from Canada.
So Tamara Lich was led out of jail after her bail rehearing.
And I believe the JCCF is on the file, Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms.
I think they're on the file.
But they issued a press release basically saying that the terms of her release are so onerous that she's effectively still a political prisoner.
$20,000 certee from the individual who guaranteed her certeeship.
She had to post a $5,000 bond, which in my mind on its own would have been enough to ensure that, you know, she comes back for trial on mischief charges or mischief-related charges.
But she has a total ban on social media.
She can't publicly comment on the protest.
She can't encourage protests.
She can't attend a protest across Canada.
So you imagine the terms of her release violate her constitutional rights or her charter rights.
No, it's not.
And it's not mine, but my goodness.
This Tesla's on fire!
The terms of her release violate her constitutional rights, which, you know, some say is not, you know, are unconstitutional terms of release.
As if to say, like, when Artur Pawlowski, who himself has now been locked up yet again, when he was first released, or one of the times he was released, and the judge said, you're released, here are the terms of your release, yada, yada, he had to pay excessive amounts of fines for having breached the order of his first release.
But the judge said, when making public statements on COVID or COVID responses, when criticizing the government, when you're exercising your free speech, you must say the following things.
You must say, and it was so preposterous.
It was along the lines of, while I disagree with the provincial measures on COVID response, doctors say that certain things are effective measures.
Social distancing and hand washing.
It was so over the top what the judge...
compelled Art Povlowski to say publicly when making public statements that it was a joke.
I mean, it was a fundamental violation of constitutional rights by compelled speech.
So that's it.
So, so Pawlowski's back in jail.
I, I, I'll actually ask Alexa why, because I know, uh, rebel had covered it.
I don't know the details of why he was re-arrested and re-detained, but, and this is all he's, he's being detained yet again for violating, uh, Allegedly, some of the health measures while the provinces and country as a whole are scaling these measures back.
So to say it's not punitive would be an understatement.
It would be grotesquely naive.
It's punitive.
It's political.
Canada has locked up.
I think they've locked up more pastors than any other country, maybe with the exception of China.
All right, let's see what we got in the chat, in the comments.
Does anyone know what's happening with Pat King?
I'll Google that in a bit.
I don't think he had a rehearing.
One thing is for certain, though, in my mind of a lawyer, the ruling for Tamara Lich has to have a bearing on Pat King.
The situations are different because they're different individuals.
The charges are somewhat different.
Pat King might be more of an in-your-face kind of guy than Tamara Lich was.
But bottom line...
The rationale and the reasoning in the release of Tamara Lich, despite the onerous terms of the release, they have to apply mutatus mutandus to Pat King.
Okay, so let's see.
Here we go.
Clarity.
If justice system fails, we are at an impasse.
If convicted...
But anyways, and we've discussed this for us, name change.
And as much as I believe in principle...
In the death penalty, in a perfect world where there is no room for doubt, no room for error, no room for political weaponizing of a judicial system, to frame, to make mistakes, to go after people wrongfully, to fudge prosecutions.
In an ideal world where certainty can be known with certainty, who would not support the death penalty for certain crimes?
The only problem is we know the system is not perfect because it's run by humans.
Okay, let's see here.
Alexa is running late.
This is true.
Was he arrested for incitement?
I'd be curious about that.
Incitement is in encouraging others to break protocol, which he undertook not to do, or which were the terms of his release.
Okay, so we got here.
Viva.
He was arrested under Alberta's new law against blocking infrastructure.
Are we talking Pavlovsky?
Are we talking...
Are we talking...
Pat King.
Pat King was arrested on mischievous charges and incitement of mischief.
So this has to be for Pawlowski.
Viva, how is your BDE in that Tesla compared to the Subaru?
BDE.
What does BDE mean, people?
All I know is I like a Subaru.
It's a modest car.
But I'll tell you the thing that I love most about...
The Tesla is the whoopee cushion function.
When you put the whoopee cushion function on and you figure out how to time it to songs that you're listening to so it always sounds like your favorite artist is farting in the middle of a song.
Gold.
Comedic gold, people.
Pavlovsky.
Okay, thank you.
Okay, let's see here.
Conditions on parole.
Is Viva okay?
The stream is super late.
No, Alexa might be running late on the bus.
Let me see if I've gotten a text from her.
And let me see what else I had.
Oh, well, you know, while we're on the subject, and by on the subject, I mean I just refreshed my YouTube feed.
For those of you who don't know, Kurt from Uncivil Law had his YouTube channel hacked yesterday for a brief moment in time.
Well, first of all, Tesla has raised their prices, and you're backordered like a year or two, from what I understand.
But I've still got two years left on my Subaru lease, because yes, I'm an idiot, and I lease a car.
And this is not on the menu, but I'll never say no to driving one.
Kurt had his channel hacked by apparently some Bitcoin-ish company, because for a while, his entire channel was taken over.
The banner was switched to Ethereum.
His videos were made private, and he was locked out of his own channel, and all of his videos were, people thought they were deleted, but apparently they were just made private.
He got his channel back, but then apparently, as a result of what the hackers had done, apparently they were live-streaming something that they should not have been.
YouTube terminated his channel for violating the terms of service, and now I see Alexa.
I'm going to go out there in two seconds.
They terminated his channel for multiple violations, which presumably occurred at the same time.
Because, for those of you who don't know, if you accidentally stream something you're not allowed to stream for whatever the reason, or YouTube thinks you're doing something funky shenanigan-wise, they'll send you emails or notifications during the stream.
So, sure enough, you don't know that it's happening until they shut down your channel like they did with Hunley for violating terms of service despite multiple warnings, because those multiple warnings come at a time when you don't see them.
So from what I understand, that's what happened.
These hackers were live streaming or doing something that violated YouTube's terms of service when they had control over Kurt's channel.
It's been shut down.
So he is beside himself.
And if anybody could reach out to Team YouTube and, you know, raise this up their interest scale so that he can get his channel back because these things...
I know people think this is just YouTube.
It's just videos.
It's people's passions, it's people's livelihoods, and it's people's businesses.
I mean, it's things that people have built for years.
And Kurt has worked hard building his platform.
And, you know, I know that he'll get it back sooner than later, but it's a stressful time nonetheless.
All right, with that said, one more Super Chat, then I'm going to shut this down, and we're going to go live outside.
So it'll be black for about five minutes, not even five, two minutes.
Actually, I'll have Alexa put her stuff in the car so that we can do this.
When I heard about Gregory Allen Elliott in 2016, Canada got on my blacklist.
Well, I'm going to have to go Google that.
Okay, people.
I'm going to take myself out of the stream.
I'm going to come back in in two minutes.
Don't go anywhere.
Chat amongst yourselves.
I will be back in a second.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I think so.
People?
People, are we live?
This is so cool.
Okay, we're going to see you in the chat.
Yay!
Okay, and you know what's amazing?
We didn't lose very many people watching.
People, can you hear us and can you see us?
I think so.
Keep your...
It's on chat.
Yeah, okay, and keep it mature above 13. Okay, we are on.
Good.
Alexa, okay, so audio is going to be good.
I don't have the mic.
We'll just speak loud.
Alexa?
Elevator pitch for those who don't know who you are, but they know who you are now.
Elevator pitch.
Yeah, so I'm Alexa.
I'm the French reporter from Quebec for Ribbon News.
For the people who don't know Ribbon News, now we can call us mainstream.
They are not just mainstream.
I want to say Canada's Fox News in the good sense.
They're better than Fox News anyhow, because Fox News is doing some shenanigans these days.
How long have you been a journalist?
With Rebel News.
So it would be almost a year now.
I started in mid-May, officially in June.
And yeah, it was an adventure and lots coming.
It's coming soon too.
Especially for the convoy.
The Freedom Convoy was amazing.
Well, we're going to get into that and the lawsuit.
Now, everybody who's watching, we're going to go into one of my favorite places in Montreal.
Alexa has never been in it.
We're going to go in, and it's going to be quiet because I want to be respectful.
It's the church.
It's called L 'Eglise Marie Reine du Monde.
It's the most beautiful church.
I used to work down the street at Borden Ladner, and I built it here for 35 years until I've discovered this place.
We're just going to go walk quickly through, and you're going to see it.
It's absolutely glorious.
I think the...
What's it called when you have a dome inside?
It's like eight stories clear above you.
So, two minutes, then we're going to walk down the street.
It's gonna blow your mind.
Okay, so we're gonna be quiet people.
Just check this out.
Thank you.
Okay, got it.
Okay, got it.
Wow.
Look at this.
Wow.
Look at this.
Wow.
It's a bit spicy.
Wow.
Wow.
It's a bit spicy.
Wow.
Wow.
It's a bit spicy.
Wow.
It's a bit spicy.
Wow.
It's a bit spicy.
Wow.
It's a bit spicy.
Wow.
It's a bit spicy.
Wow.
It's a bit spicy.
Wow.
It's a bit spicy.
Wow.
It's a bit spicy.
Wow.
this way
Okay, look at that.
That's the dome.
It's like eight stories high.
No, I don't think so.
Okay.
We're on out.
Okay.
I'm going to go on.
Look at this there.
Social distancing.
for seating.
Want to see?
Yeah.
Okay.
It's hot.
Yeah, it's hot.
Hey.
Okay, people.
So that might have been, I don't know.
It's stunningly beautiful, surprisingly beautiful.
It looks like a small building from the outside.
And then when you realize that the back is, it goes downhill.
So the indoor dome, the dome is like eight stories high.
It's amazing.
How many years ago?
I don't know.
Worst tour guide ever.
All right, so Alexa, tell everybody.
So you started with Rebel one year ago.
Yeah.
What did you do before that?
Because I remember in a question you had asked Justin Trudeau, you mentioned that you were a...
Biologist.
Biologist.
Yeah, so I studied in Laval, the biology, and I wanted to be a doctor, so I took my courses for being a doctor.
And afterwards, I...
But I moved to Montreal for starting a master.
When I didn't have the funding from the government so I decided to travel in Australia to learn my English because at that time I wasn't able to speak in English so I spent almost a year in Australia working and I came back and never stopped to travel so I traveled in around 60 countries in the world so far so that in the last 10 years I was traveling all around the world in Africa,
India Maldives, Galapagos, everywhere.
Central America, Patagonia, Nepal.
May I ask how old you are?
Oh, I will turn 36 soon.
You're a baby.
You're a baby.
36 years old.
So you traveled before working with Rebel.
What did you do for work before that?
Just working mostly in restaurants because I had no engagement.
I'm free to live all the time that I wanted.
I'm a free spirit.
I'm the kind of person who I love to share story, culture, learn about people.
That's what I am.
And you guys are going to get a tour of downtown Montreal at the same time.
And then how did you end up at Revelations?
That's a good story.
Most people don't know, but I got arrested in Quebec.
Go on.
Yes, but it was a really complicated story.
At that time, we were not allowed to be more than...
Actually, we were not allowed to visit people.
And at that time, I had a problem, a medical problem that I had been to my friend to warm up.
And the police ride the place without a riot, without an authorization.
They just came into the apartment, searched the entire apartment.
It was completely not legal, it's why probably the ticket didn't last.
So it's during Covid you got arrested?
Yeah, so I was in March 2021 and afterwards I met Mocha in the practice.
I was giving roses to the police officer.
They all refused to take my rose.
You have to put the rose in the barrel of their gun like the Vietnam.
Don't do that, people out there.
And Mokra and me, we met.
I shared my story.
And afterward, I was sending a video of the protest.
I was always up there.
And they offered me a position for a Quebec reporter.
That's fantastic.
And you took it without a second thought.
At the beginning, I was like, I don't know if it's...
That's what I should do because I wasn't sure if I would be the perfect journalist because I wanted to really show because I didn't know so much rebel at that time so I learned to know rebel and I say yes it's what I want to do I want to show the truth because I know that we have unfortunately not 100% true narrative
in the mainstream.
And I say, no, that is not okay.
I want to show really what is happening and what people live.
Like, what is the consequences from the lockdown and the COVID restriction.
And nobody's showing that.
And I say, yeah, I think...
You know what?
Now that I mention it, we're going to walk up to St. Catherine and we'll actually show some of the...
I haven't been to downtown Montreal in a long time.
So we'll see what it looks like now after two years of lockdown.
Had you ever done work as a journalist, like a journalist for whatever the word means, before working with Robert?
I did my research, but it was scientific research for the university.
So I know how to do research and base my research on facts and everything.
So I know a little bit what it is, but I never did anything for journalistic before.
I did write a lot of research papers, but never for really speaking.
It's why my English is good.
First of all, your English is good.
Now I know the story.
It's gotten better since we first met, and I don't remember when we first met.
Okay, so I'm curious now.
Your journey as a journalist, what has been the biggest learning curve of becoming a journalist and being a bona fide...
I don't care what you think about Rebel News, anybody who's a hater.
They are real journalists.
What has been your biggest learning curve?
But you know what?
I prefer to have started journalism without being a journalist in school.
Because what I heard from people who are going to school, they need to have a certain path.
And they have been learning to follow a route that me, I can actually, I have no stop.
So if I want to cover a story, because for me, I think it's important to show the word.
I have nobody to say, "No, you're not showing that." I'm doing it because I believe that the story is important to be heard.
So I think it's better for me to not have been followed by school a certain path.
And I think all my colleagues are really straight in their head.
They know what they need to show.
And it's all normal people, you know?
Yep.
And from everywhere.
Well, you know, here's the question, because Rebel, for everybody out there, like Rebel News has a reputation.
It's an, I say on the one hand, deserve it, and on the other hand, undeserve it, because it's been, it's been maligned by the media, where if someone says, oh, you work with Rebel, you automatically get some like, stink eye, dirty looks.
Did you notice that?
Have you gotten used to it?
And what, and has it, have you made enemies as a result of what you're doing now?
Enemies?
Enemies from my friend?
Actually not.
Most of the people now they wrote to me and say thank you, thank you because you're showing the truth.
Most of the friends of mine I was pretty surprised because at the beginning of all the COVID that was not the same narrative that they were saying and now they see that it's true like when we cover the freedom from abroad we were mostly Live streaming.
You cannot fake a live stream.
You cannot fake it.
It's live.
Like now.
You cannot fake it.
We are live.
Everybody, one second.
My wife doesn't know where our car is.
Hold on one second.
Hold on.
I'll be back in a second.
Oh, geez.
Uh.
Oh, geez.
Thank you.
I'm sorry about that.
I'm sorry about that.
Sorry, people.
I can ignore all the texts except for the text from my wife.
It's not a good idea to ignore your wife.
So you're from Quebec City, right?
Yeah.
Everybody knows Quebec City...
She found it.
Quebec City has a population of 200,000?
It's pretty small.
It's small, people.
They call it la capital national, which is the national capital.
The cultural, I call it the cultural center of Quebec, it's the identity center of Quebec, but it's a small town.
And mostly French.
99% French, like French.
They call it pure land in French, which is pure wool.
So you start working for Rebel, and you're living in Quebec City.
Yeah.
Friends, family, are they liking it, and do you still live in Quebec City?
I still live in Quebec City.
I will say that I'm moving to Montreal in maybe one or two months.
All right, very nice.
Yeah, because all the action and if I want to be close from Ottawa, Quebec and in the same time, Toronto and everywhere, it's better for me and my colleague to be in Montreal.
So I'm moving there with them.
Okay.
And it's just funny because Quebec City, when you arrive there, If you try to speak in English with people, a lot of them don't speak English.
What's amazing is when I studied there for four years, when we would speak English in the shopping center, when people thought we were Americans, they actually, they were friendlier than when they found out we were Anglo-Quebecers.
Because when you're in Quebec, the expectation is you speak French if you can.
And we did.
But it's a very, it's a smaller town that is the provincial cultural center of sorts.
All right, okay, this is cool.
It's actually only a year with Rebel.
What's the biggest story you've broken with Rebel?
I think I spent giving flowers to question Mr. Trudeau at the leader debate.
That was actually passing a big step.
Now we're going to sit and we're going to...
If it gets too noisy, people...
Yeah, let's do this.
If it gets too noisy, let us know.
Okay, Alexa, that video went viral.
Yeah.
When you ask Trudeau the question, give everyone the context, for those who don't know, the context of Trudeau and Rebel Media and the question that Alexa asked him, which I had tweeted out, she tweeted out.
Okay, go for it.
So, just the day before, I was at the leader debate and Justin Trudeau have diabolized and completely destroyed Reuben News, saying that we are spreading misinformation and disinformation.
But in the same time...
We won against him in court for being present that day, all our journalists, but just one was allowed in person to be there because they say that if one person allowed and the other one needs to be on the telephone.
So one of my colleagues reached by phone the day before and asked questions that he refused to answer but completely destroyed us.
And I was just in front of him.
I was ready to...
I asked my question right away, but it changed the leader in my face.
So during the night, I get prepared and I asked, first of all, I came back from what he said about us.
And I say, if we were spreading misinformation and disinformation, we will not be allowed by the court to be there as a media.
Actually, just stopping it there.
The reason, okay, I want to make sure I don't mistake in which time.
Rebel News was denied accreditation to cover the leader's debate.
By the Commission, which is a federal entity that determines who can go and be media.
I forget if this happened more than once, but basically they sued and said, tell us why you're not giving us accreditation to cover it.
And they said, we don't really have to.
It was like the Friday before the Monday.
And I think they went to court on an injunction and got an injunction enjoining their being accredited just to cover and be there at the leaders' debate.
During the election?
We knew it at 11 and I flew the same day and on the same day I needed to pass a PCR test so I did the antigen test and I found last minute to do a PCR test that they refused so we needed to go back in court because they wanted to refuse my test result that was negative for both of them and so
We finally win again and so the second day I asked my question to Mr. Trudeau about the third booster if they will remove the privilege related to the vaccine passport when they will require the third booster as Israel and he refused to answer my question and for the English speaker they cannot understand that in French you have two ways to speak to someone.
You have a proper way that is the "vous" and you have like the casual way or the people you don't respect when you don't know the person is "tu" and he used the second option with me and I always keep using the proper way with him until at the end I was just like...
It's a thing that if anybody doesn't speak French you may not understand but in French you have...
Well, basically, you have tu, which is single you, and vous, which is plural.
So if you say you as an individual, it's tu fais quelque chose.
You're doing something.
And if it's more than one person, you say vous.
But when it comes to adults, people in positions of authority, it's called vousvoyer.
You're supposed to conjugate all of your verbs directed at that authority as a vous and not as a tu.
And then they call it tutoyer when it's to either be disrespectful.
Sorry.
Okay, thank you.
We've been asked to move.
So, the second way to do it is tutoyer.
And generally speaking, it's either considered rude, or adults do it with children, or equals do it with equals.
So, Alexa was vouvoyer, showing respect to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and he responded with the tu.
And the question was, the question was...
Other than being long, and if it were a deposition, I would have said break it down into two questions.
She said, you spent the last little while demonizing rebel media, calling us fake news, misinformation.
If we were, the courts would not have allowed us to come here and cover the debate.
My question is, she said, I'm a scientist as well, and that was the first time I heard it.
She says, are we going to be doing what they're doing in Israel, which is predicating privileges?
And when you use that word, it drove me crazy, because these are rights that we're talking about, not privileges.
You're going to predicate it on...
A third dose, a fourth booster, whatever.
And Justin Trudeau, if you could reenact it, what did Trudeau do?
If I what?
Reenact it.
I mean, don't reenact it.
Qu 'est-ce qu 'il y a fait?
C 'est quoi sa réponse, Pete?
Oh, so I just say, I already say everything that I say about your organization.
I have nothing else to say.
And he turned his face, literally like, J 'ai plus rien à dire.
And then look, it was so disgusting.
Okay, so...
It's why I answered you.
Oh yeah, she says, now the world knows who you really are.
Let's continue.
We'll go back into the sunlight.
Yeah, people in the chat are saying Viva Misses.
I do miss the Viva on the streets.
My only problem with the Viva on the streets in Ottawa is...
I can understand people saying they want to see the protest and it's not about me.
And I can understand that.
It was...
But I mean, after 13 days, you go there, you recognize everybody and they recognize you.
It was like summer camp.
Two weeks at summer camp.
All right.
For the people who ask for my legs, I'm doing fine.
I still have a bruise.
We're getting there.
We're getting there.
Okay, so that's what happened with Trudeau.
That happened with Trudeau in September, give or take, of 2021.
Yeah.
We know that Trudeau has made the public announcement.
He's let Canadians know.
He does not like Rebel News.
He demonizes Rebel News.
He disrespects Rebel News.
And then six months later, his RCMP apparently shot a Rebel News reporter in the leg with a gas canister at the Ottawa protest.
First of all, let's start, I guess...
The same one who asked the question.
The same one who asked the question that Trudeau did not like.
I guess let's start with the protest itself.
What was your experience like?
Did you guys get...
Did you have any issues with protesters bothering you while you were doing your jobs?
Did you see other, like, CBC, Global News, and other legacy media getting a hard time by the crowds?
So, at the beginning, they showed up with their microphone.
We were able to see who they were.
And we saw that they were not well-received.
Like, most of the people didn't want to talk to them and just ask, please tell the truth.
Please tell the truth.
But I didn't see any violence.
I just see maybe verbal, like, names or, like, We can understand.
It's been two years that people have been lying about the protesters or calling them by name.
So they actually received what they did for the past two years about them.
When you've been calling names about the protesters or the people against the mandate, they have been calling anti-vaxxers.
Racist, xenophobes, anti-black race, I mean all of it.
So when you've been calling this kind of name for two years, it's normal that when they show up in their protest, they will probably ask around the same thing, calling name too.
But afterwards, I saw that they removed their logo.
So they were coming into the protest really more hiding themselves.
I know that some of them had their phone to film and they showed that on the TV.
I think they picked up on the tricks from the live streamers there.
At first, I did notice that they were CBC, they had all their things on.
And then eventually, I just see them walking through the crowds with their cameras, still getting something of a hard time.
But imagine the idea.
This is not to justify people.
And when the guy was there, when I was there heckling CNN, and I said, stop doing it.
Because you know they're just going to take that one clip, they're going to show you following them around and saying that they felt intimidated, and maybe rightfully so.
They're going to make an example of a view that's going to make a bad impression of everyone else.
But you come there, and they know, the people know that they're there to demonize the people, and then they wonder why they're not getting a nice, polite reception.
It's like, you should be polite while we abuse you and demonize you, and if you don't...
Look, you deserved it in the first place.
Have you seen my story that just came up?
I don't think so.
About the City News reporter who had been fired because he came and chased the rest of the protesters and the trucker, and he started to insult them, harass them, trap them to come with the police and write the place, and so he got fired by the...
The City News.
City or CTV?
City News.
City News.
Montreal or what city do you know?
I think it's from Ottawa, but he was a reporter.
I once did a week stint on City News.
My goodness how things have changed in two years.
He got fired.
Yeah, so imagine how many of these reporters are acting the same way that he did.
It's just because now someone was filming him and showing.
And they sent me the footage as well.
And so we know that that happened.
But how many people didn't film during the time that maybe other reporters were acting the same way?
I think it's horrible.
I haven't seen it.
This is another one I'm going to go catch up on.
It's the amazing thing.
The 24-7 streaming.
It saved Kyle Rittenhouse.
I'm convinced it kept this protest from either getting violent.
Which I don't think it ever would have gotten, or being sabotaged.
Because with cameras all around all the time, it's impossible.
But now let's speak of this because cameras are around all the time and they captured the aftermath of you getting shot in the leg with a tear gas canister.
What happened?
Tell everybody what happened.
This was on the Saturday when Trudeau came in with the police.
So me and my colleague, Nick and Jay, was there too.
We were in the Bronx on the 28th of January.
So we saw everything that...
What happened during the truck convoy and we wanted to be on the front line when everything will happen because it's where you can see where the violence comes from and so you can know the truth afterwards.
So we were there filming what's going on.
It started on the Friday around 11:30 and it continued all night until the Saturday when I show up during the morning.
I arrived at 9, the line was still there, the police was moving towards the protesters and the truck driver and so I was standing filming with my microphone, my little press and I was filming my report in the same time.
I was live streaming and I was talking all the time to people.
And so I get hit first of all by police.
They actually came towards me and pushed me.
And so everybody appreciates it.
I mean, I think you saw it on my streams, but I didn't get...
Look, I'm not crazy.
I didn't get as close as Alexa did, but I was up there, you know, two or three bodies back.
And the police were there.
Some of them had shields, some of them had batons.
And every now and again, they would just push forward.
And like three feet, and then stop.
And then every now and again, they would detonate a flashbang, just for the sake of it.
And so they did this.
In all the lines where they were pushing forward just to keep pushing people back.
So some of them had batons, some of them had the shields.
Do you remember what they had?
Oh yeah, they had like a teaser on the side.
They had the paper spray.
They had guns.
I was like, which kind of gun?
Sometimes it was a big, big gun.
Gas mask.
They had the arwen, I think.
Arwen is like a gun for shooting a canister of...
Tear gas or sometimes pepper spray, depending on which one it is.
They had no badge number and no name on them for most of them.
It was really difficult to know who they were.
And so when that happened, when they shot me, I was live streaming.
I heard the first shot and I screamed because I was in shock.
And I filmed and I saw one of the teaser gone.
Falling in the ground.
And so they jump on it.
I think they think that people would jump on the teaser, but why people would do that?
It was always peaceful.
You mean, not a taser, but a tear gas canister?
No, no.
It was actually a teaser gun.
A taser gun.
That I found in the ground.
Oh, I see.
Okay, fine.
And so I turned my camera to film that.
And so they grabbed it.
And afterwards, I felt...
That I got shot in my legs.
Okay, now I'm going to ask a question.
I didn't know these details.
Do you think that someone dropped a taser gun to create a pretext whereby anyone who reached for that taser gun became a legitimate target?
About me, just because my question is like a taser gun.
If they go out of their pocket, everything is reported.
Like the data is all registered.
It's all...
So it's really...
If the tasers get out, they need to fill a report.
So we have like an investigation on everything that's what happened but I know that I think I heard but that's how I heard so I don't know if it's relevant but I heard someone saying that they thought that someone a protester would grab the teaser gun it's why they act on the front but the the fact is the guy who shot me it's already empty so far what we have been RCMP,
by the way, is the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and that is federal.
So it was not the OPP, which would have been provincial, not Sûreté de Québec, which would have been provincial.
Quite literally, the federal Justin Trudeau police force.
But he didn't bring in the military, and he promised to respect constitutional charter rights while invoking the emergency act.
Sorry.
Cynical parentheses closed.
And so the guy, we can see on most of the two days that he...
Did you see the canister?
What does it look like?
Is it a can of coke?
So me, when he hit my leg, that was big like that.
Like the round.
I had actually the round into my leg, like black.
So I had three layers of pans and I was able to see the print of the canister.
I was lucky because I had military pants, so it's probably more thick, so the damage of my leg was probably less important, but I still have a bruise.
Well, also, look, I don't know what it's like for women, but if that hits the groin area of a man, I mean, and I'm saying that as a joke, that would cause irreparable damage to the reproductive organs of a man.
We can sit here, no one's going to get that.
Imagine you!
Oh my goodness!
It would be of no consequence to me.
I've already had my kids.
Okay, so you get shot in the leg.
Do you see the canister lying on the ground?
Is it dispersing gas afterwards, or are you just out of it and you have no idea what's going on?
Actually, it just exploded.
I was full of everywhere, like orange produce in my pants, in my face, in my glove, and same in my microphone.
And I was like, ugh!
And it was burning, so I was not able to look with my eyes because in my mouth and my eyes, I was crying.
And some people laughed because I was like full of...
Your mascara was running.
Yeah.
And I was like, why are you laughing?
And by the way, someone in the chat says rubber bullets at close range can kill someone.
I know I have a friend who was at a protest in a foreign country where the police shot this individual in the head.
Point blank with a rubber bullet, and he lost an eye.
And this happens in a country where you would not think Canada would ever be on the same realm as these types of dictatorships in foreign lands.
And especially press.
If it was like CBC or someone else from another mainstream, that would be a terrific big story that everybody would be like, that's terrible.
And oh, it's really new.
So you know that.
All channels, not only in the US, but as well in the UK, Australia, everybody was interested in my story.
I met someone from one of the mainstream channels, took my phone number, never called me back.
Mainstream, Canada.
Only one person.
Did you get on Tucker Carlson?
I've been to...
Ingram.
Okay, Ingram.
That's Laura Ingram.
And I've been to Newsmax, Eric Bowling.
I've been to Blaze TV.
Did you do RT?
Russia television?
Or is it Russia Today?
No, no.
I said RT.
RT International.
I did that.
Okay, so...
So you're tear gassed up.
You have a bruise the size of an orange on your leg.
What happens after you go to the hospital?
Yeah, so at the beginning, I was like, I need to continue to report.
We were not a lot of reporters on the ground to cover everything that was happening.
So I say, I have no time.
So I wash my face.
People put some ice on my legs and say, I need to continue to report until, like, everything's coming down.
So I stay.
I report.
Tell me what's going on.
And afterwards, I take a break.
I went back, showered myself really quick.
And I heard my cameraman, Guillaume Roy, was paper spray.
So I came back, running back to see if it was okay.
And afterwards, I run to cover the woman who had been trampled by the horse the day before.
Because she was just out of the hospital.
I was lucky.
I was the only one to have an interview with her.
And it's because I took the chance to go.
And afterwards, my legs getting, like, swollen.
And I had a lot of difficulty to walk.
I think it's because my adrenaline went down.
And I was like, oh, my God, what's going on?
So I went to the hospital to have a medical record from a doctor.
I was going to say now, if it's not confidential, have you filed suit?
Are you going to sue?
Everything right now, the complaint has been filled and we are going to, yeah, it's actually on.
I will be covering it, people.
I'll be seeing what's going on.
Again, it's not my area of expertise, so I don't know if there's a delay within which the police have to investigate before you can file a civil suit, so I don't know what the procedure is.
A lot of complaints needed to be filled first, especially for the special investigation, the SEU, but the fact that they are not doing an investigation on RCMP, so we need to...
Transfer another complaint for the RCMP.
Okay, so that happens on the Saturday and you've been in Ottawa since, right?
You're now on your way back from...
So I stay until the 27th of February and I had a red zone at that moment so I stay until like really the end when the red zone getting a little bit like loose.
The police were not as much aggressive on the street.
But I came back last weekend because we had like a protest.
We wanted to see what's going on.
And I've been part to a counter-protest that was really interesting.
Oh, okay.
You got it.
Alexa was at a counter-protest.
And they were not...
They know Rebel News.
And I guess when I did the counter-protest interview at Ottawa, they knew I was annoying, but they didn't think I was Rebel News.
Tell people what that was like.
I actually never been to this kind of process, so I was really interested to know what was about, what was their point of view, and I was really interested to ask questions.
Oh my God, I was not well received.
I've been called some names and they refer me to someone from River News in the past, but I don't know this person.
I just joined really recently, so...
I was a little bit confused and they actually say that I was harassing them for asking a simple question and they say that they actually called me like all the...
so they say that it was a free freedom zone like really peaceful place no violence no harassment but it's actually I was there not even 30 minutes or 45 minutes And I was at rest, I was almost like, some violence almost like rise up, but like we were able to see in their face, their angriness.
I was like, well, you protest right now, so you want your voice being heard, but you refuse in the same time to answer my question.
But what are you doing then if you don't want to talk to the media to show what you have to say?
I just don't know.
Someone has said that as a comment in my counter-protest where there was a woman who was trying to make everyone stop talking.
It's like, don't talk to him.
He's with the other side.
It's like, you go to a counter-protest and you don't want to talk.
And I saw they called Alexa the French faith golding.
You know, because when you don't see the world through identity politics blinders, when you see a reporter, the first thing you think of is gender and language.
How can I reduce this individual to a gender and a language?
She's nothing but a French faith golding.
Yeah, I don't know.
They just tried to find something against me, but at the same time, they had nothing against me because I was just doing my job.
But you did not?
I mean, my observation is you did not feel comfortable staying around there for one minute longer than you did.
At one point, I was surrounded by security who were following me everywhere.
And I was like, weren't you following me?
And they say, no, I'm not following you.
But for like 10 minutes, I was just going back and forth and the person was following back and forth.
And after that, you say that you're not following me.
But yeah, that was kind of, I don't know, interesting, I would say.
So you covered Ottawa.
I mean, are you done?
Ottawa's done and over?
Like, are you going to, are there other convoy or related protests going on in Canada now that you're going to...
I know that...
We heard that maybe something is going on.
I have really not much information about it, but I heard that some confirmation that maybe other convoy will start.
But it's really secret.
Nobody talked about it, probably because of what happened last time.
I would try to cover everything if something happens.
People are saying in Victoria there's going to be one this weekend.
I know that there's a protest in Toronto on Saturday.
I was invited.
I might try to attend, but it's my mother-in-law's birthday and I probably will not be able to.
It's a big number, so I can't.
I know that there's a worldwide protest on Saturday.
Unfortunately, I need to cover the running election for the...
Leader for the Conservatives.
All right, okay.
Out of Ontario?
Yeah, because I was at Patrick Brown in Toronto and it was really interesting.
If you are interested to see the report of Lincoln Jay on that day, someone who worked for the city were there and they say to him, "Get out of my city!" and he started to yell at him.
And caught him during his intro.
For anyone outside of Ontario or may not be aware, they're having a leadership race for the Conservative Party in Ontario.
It's going to be interesting to follow.
Pierre Poilievre has hit the road hard.
And you guys watching probably know who Pierre Poilievre is.
Okay, so that's another big story.
What else are you working on these days?
So I'm working on many things.
The Nazi flag and...
The Federation flag that we saw on the first day of the Freedom Convoy, my report will be coming soon.
And as well, I'm working a little bit for a documentary about the Freedom Convoy because I know that mainstream had done one.
I want to report the other side of the story in our documentary.
And I have as well on Sunday in Quebec City at the Parliament will have a protest as well.
I think it's a convoy.
I'm not even sure.
I would be there.
And I have another story about mask mandate.
You will see soon.
It's about some masks that they would cry and they say that it's the level two medical, but it's not.
I had one question.
It was a rumor.
Oh, no, I just forgot it.
It was about a rumor.
Oh, sorry.
That's it.
There was a rumor going around, everyone on the internet, about the Confederate flag and the Yahtzee flag at the protest.
Some people were suggesting that the photographer who was three feet from the, I think it was the Yahtzee flag, people were saying he was Trudeau's private photographer.
They had put like a screenshot of that guy and then Trudeau's photographer.
Do you know who the photographer was that was standing within the vicinity of the Yahtzee flight guy?
I know a couple of them.
It's not just one that was really close to Houston.
Many of them.
And, oh, funny thing.
They were all there at the same place when the Confederation flight passed in the street.
You will see my report.
I cannot tell you.
When does the report break Alexa?
We have short attention spans here.
This week?
Yeah, next week.
What day is it today?
It's Wednesday.
It's Tuesday.
Beginning of next week.
Fascinating.
Okay, so now explain the process of going to get the truth of this story.
What do you do?
You get that picture, you identify people, you go ask them questions, they say no comments?
So, for the Confederation flag, it's really interesting because the man showed up completely masked with sunglasses.
I had an interview with someone who had an interaction with him.
This guy was really strange.
He was just agitating his flag and left.
And it was a flag.
Like, how you say it, like, custom-made.
Really good custom-made that nobody can have.
Well, if you're going to invest in the Confederate flag, you don't want to waste your money on something made in China.
So get the homemade...
Sorry, I'm being tongue-in-cheek.
Okay, so, because from the pictures, you can see it was fresh-pressed, brand-new.
Okay.
And for the night, it's really interesting too because I found the first picture where it was sticking and the second one and it's about three minutes long and afterwards it's gone.
It's amazing you know the problem is when it's like you must be excited to release this this this piece yeah because That just showed that these people were not part of the protest, what they were doing, and all people were able to take pictures at the perfect moment, at the perfect place when they were there.
I was on the ground.
Oh, and you know, it's only the first day.
For the next three weeks after, nobody has talked about anything related to Confederation or Nazi flag.
Because no one was there.
And we know that when we judge a protest, it's always the first impression.
The first day.
And after that, you can judge the rest of it by the first impression.
Okay, very good.
Now, you're going back to Quebec.
You're going to finish up these pieces.
You have to edit them.
Is there any more research or is it just a question of publication date?
So I'm waiting for the information that I asked you.
Access to the information.
We'll see if I will have it or not before the release.
But my script is already made.
I just need to film to put all together like all the shoot because there we were shooting as well to show what's going on, the angle, everything, explanation.
People in the chat might be getting ahead.
They said the Yahtzee flag was on the steps of the Fairmount where only the cops were staying.
I know some of the stories.
Okay, this is phenomenal.
There was another rumor and I can't remember what I was going to ask.
I've been trying to remember.
Okay, well, in the chat, people, if you have questions, no need for super chats.
Get the questions in if we haven't touched on anything.
Oh, Alexa, where can people find you?
Social medias.
Oh, Twitter.
It's...
The Voice Alexa, and on Instagram it's@AlexaLavoie, and on Facebook as well it's@AlexaLavoie, a little bit everywhere.
And just so everybody knows, on Twitter it's@TheVoiceAlexa because "Lavoie" in French is "The Voice", "Lavoie".
And if people want to help with the lawsuit, you have a standwithalexa.ca or.com, they both work.
A woman trampled by the horse survived.
There was a rumour of an individual who was killed by the horse after the woman?
Not killed.
A source of mine told me that he's back home.
He was trying to reach him to give me his phone number.
He was not able to give it to me, but I know who is the person.
But what I heard so far is...
It's not key.
Nobody died, I think.
I think we would have.
He'd been injured, though.
So, Garnett Williamson, a good question.
Viva, do you have any PTSD from the attack on you?
Post-traumatic stress disorder.
Me?
Yes.
You have nightmares?
Nightmare.
I did lots for a couple of weeks.
Like cold chills.
That might have been physiological until there's still the injury.
For the first three weeks, I had always an unbalance on my legs.
Because at the beginning I was walking on one side.
But now it's getting a little bit better.
But it's mostly like a nightmare.
During the night, I just rethink about the event.
Some of the time, I dream that I'm dying.
Someone kill me.
Do it.
Now, is it a scary enough event to deter you from continuing to do what you're doing?
No.
It's not like I've been...
I don't know.
Shocking my neck as one of the guys in Ukraine.
Same if I'm really interested to go and cover that there.
They would have allowed me to go there.
Like Rebel or your family?
Or both?
I think everybody would say no.
No, I think my job is to show the other side of the story and the truth and what is going on and the story of people who are in distress and they want their voice to be heard.
Okay, so we got the lady who got trampled by the horse is alive.
The rumor of the man who got trampled by the horse is not dead.
Alive as well.
Are the Ottawa cops still going after those who took part in the protest?
Do you know what the deal is?
Yeah, so you have a lawsuit of $306 million of a lot of protests.
We're not going to show the bad competition.
They're down there somewhere.
Just because of my thought.
So, what I was saying...
Guys, what were you just saying?
Tabar, no.
Guys, what were we just saying two seconds ago?
The rumors, the individual.
Oh, Ottawa police.
Are they going after the protesters?
Yeah.
So we have a lawsuit right now.
Those senile old peoples, what's going on here?
So he had like some private property where the truck driver was still remaining around Ottawa.
I know that the police have came and they are gone.
They went there.
They disperse them.
I know that now the loss of the $306 million that come from the citizens and some of the business who are suing some supporters, truck drivers and as well the organism.
So they took in picture I think 400 license plates.
So a lot of them.
It's amazing when I was streaming it and we saw the cop as the trucks were going out she sat there took a picture of the front plates back plates And as they were leaving, I said, why are they doing it?
But it was quite obvious why they were doing it.
Yeah.
And the same person who are doing, like, the same lawyer that's doing the sewing is the same that did the injunction for the aunt.
So there's another rumor.
The plaintiff, her name is Shen Li, I believe.
Because of her origins, she's a Chinese young woman.
People are questioning how she has the money to file a class action suit.
Who's subsidizing the lawsuit?
Does she have any political connections or political motivations?
Do you know anything about this?
No, unfortunately.
And that's fine.
That's not to confirm or dispel those rumors.
It's just not something I'm looking into.
And Alexi can neither confirm nor do that.
The plaintiff is apparently a 22-year-old civil servant.
Her last name is Lee, I believe.
And people are hypothesizing on the incident.
How is she affording the lawyer?
Who's financing the lawsuit?
And whether or not there's any political motivation above and beyond the obvious.
But I know that the class lawsuit is a lot of people for the 360 million won.
But it's actually...
Cindy Shi is her name.
Cindy Shi?
Yeah.
Z-I-E.
So I know that...
It's a little bit the injunction to begin the class actions lawsuit.
So I know that now I did an interview with Tom Marazzo.
His name is on the lawsuit.
And not only that, the organizers, some of them have been investigated for terms of like tourism.
It's nuts.
So I did it.
Tom Marazzo was on, I think, on my channel about a week and a half ago.
He's one of the organizers.
There was a rumor that they were going after the donors to the convoy.
They wish they can.
We'll wait and see.
A class action needs to get certified by the judge.
So we'll see if it gets certified.
I don't know that it has, but I'll keep up to date on the legal side.
But no investigator side for me.
Any more rumors?
People in the chat, any more rumors at anyone?
Is Pat King still in jail?
Yes, Pat King is still in jail.
Not Tamara.
Not Tamara Lich.
Pavlovsky still in jail?
Oh, good question.
If anyone in the chat knows.
Okay, and then my hands are freezing off here.
Do you want to...
No, it's a very skill that I have here to keep it stable.
Okay, I think that's it.
Now, you and I are going to do an interview for Rebel Activist.
Yes, of course.
We're not live streaming that, people.
Plus, I think my phone is going...
Hold on, hold on a second.
It's all right.
I've got a lot of battery.
It's not bad at all.
I'm not even charging the phone this time.
Okay, let's see in the chat if anyone says Artur is still in jail.
Yeah, Pastor Vlatsky.
It's political persecution, there's no question about it.
Did I miss this chat?
Respect is earned, though.
This is from Fernando Hernandez.
It can also be lost just in continuous overreach and negative treatment of those who contradict him.
Shows he is no leader.
He's worse than no leader.
He's a very, very, to quote Jerry Seinfeld, very, very bad man.
Okay, people, I think this was good.
Maybe we'll just do Viva on the streets.
We'll just have to, like, organize meetups.
Oh, I missed the New Zealand super chat and I can't see it anymore unless there's a way to get it.
Oh, Dictor?
I don't think Dictor's in jail.
No, but Dictor...
No, he's not.
BJ Dictor.
I know that he's...
He's not in jail.
He's before the courts.
He's going to a show soon.
I think in Miami.
I think so.
So, no, I've never been in jail, Benjamin.
No, I don't think people...
I'm not getting into the rumors.
Oh, I just brought up the chat and then I lost it.
Okay.
And, you know, Lenny Butterford had been released the day after.
Lenny Butterford, the sniper of Justin Trudeau, the RCP.
He was released.
Yeah.
So, and Chris...
Barbara.
Barbara is back home, too.
Back home under...
I don't know what Barbara's terms of release are, but Tamara's are just, you know...
Not what you'd expect for mischief charges.
In fact, arguably less.
I forget the guy who ran over the people in Winnipeg.
I'm not sure what his release was.
Yeah, but he wasn't allowed to bail.
Does BlackRock own Rebel News?
No, they do not.
Why is no one asking why the government general does not step in?
Viva Fry, any news on Zott's case?
No, Zott's got a mischief charge or an obstruction charge.
He'll be in court later on.
I told him to get a lawyer because it's not something to mess around with.
Whether or not it gets dropped later on, not something to mess around with.
Okay.
I think 2022 is really good for lawyers.
Zott was not released a couple days later.
He was released the same day.
But I think the terms of his release were that he couldn't go back to Ottawa or couldn't stream, which is why his girlfriend was doing it afterwards.
Trampled man, not dead by all accounts.
And I think we've got everything, Alexa.
I think so.
People, thank you all.
We're going to do this more often.
I love this.
And with the weather getting warmer, my hands won't turn into these like...
I got my knuckles cracking.
It's so dry and cold.
Yeah, this summer we'll do Viva on the streets.
Are you heading to the States?
To check out any of the U.S. convoy?
So the U.S. convoy, we have Jeremy that is there and he's covering it and he's doing really a good job.
So you can see all the reports on convoyreports.com.
You can follow the convoy in the U.S. So we have someone there that's doing an amazing job.
Rebel News is international now.
Okay, amazing.
Everyone in the chat, thank you very much for the super chats.
You know where to find Alexa.
I will pin the comments.
And now I'm wondering, did I pin the comments from yesterday's stream?
I believe I did.
Anyways, I'm going to pin Alexa's contact info, Rebel News, Convoy News, so you can follow it, you can donate, you can support their cause if you so choose.
And just make sure...
Do you recommend becoming a lawyer?
Yeshua saves.
I would recommend doing it, practicing for as long as you can stomach it because it's not wasted experience.
It is actually immensely useful for anything you do in life.
But it's torturous if you don't like it.
Yeah, so do it.
Do you want to be in part of the provincial election this time?
We'll talk off camera.
People want me to run for the Conservatives in the provincial elections.
We'll see.
Everyone, stay tuned.
We're going to have a live stream tomorrow night.
It's going to be a good one.
I'm in the process of working it for the sidebar tomorrow night.
Barnes won't be there, but we're going to have a good guest.
It's going to be great.
Thank you all very much.
I'm going to turn the camera sideways and end.
