- 0:02Uh, okay, this is interesting. So this is an intersection of Canadian
- 0:09and American politics. Let's take a look. So vivek Ramaswami with Andrew Levant,
- 0:14who is the head of the founder of Rebel News Canada. You mentioned
- 0:19Trudeau in your remarks. You mentioned him again. Now what do you make
- 0:23of the man? He's been in power for eight years now, even though
- 0:27he has a minority government, he's got a coalition. Is he a cautionary
- 0:31tale for Americans? I don't think Americans follow Canadian politics too closely. What
- 0:36should an American know about justin Trudeau? This is a preview of coming attractions.
- 0:41I use that sarcastically unless we course correct here. He's like a Klaus
- 0:45Schwab junior, sort of a Klaus Schwab disciple. And I think that he
- 0:50is somebody who is a useful puppet. And it's not that this guy is
- 0:54some sort of shining intellect that is somehow a visionary in his own right.
- 0:59He's a pawn for a managerial class both within and outside of Canada, that
- 1:04uses people like him as a pawn to advance a you know, transnational globalist
- 1:10agenda that has a single hegemonic view that is fundamentally skeptical of self governance,
- 1:15does not believe in people's ability to govern themselves, believes in a worldview where
- 1:19people need to be told what the right way is or is, and to
- 1:21live by a small group of aristocratic elites in the back of the palace halls.
- 1:25That was the old world European view. It's what's alive and well in
- 1:27Canada unfortunately today. And the idea that Trudeau's actually the guy called him the
- 1:30shots as a joke. He's just a puppet, a pawn for that deeper
- 1:36what I would call permanent state. And I think that much similar to the
- 1:40United States. I think that that's a big part of what you're seeing happening
- 1:42in Canada now as well. Now that needs another round of a class.
- 1:56So you know, I gotta say I'm extremely impressed with a veg and he
- 2:00just nailed it there talking about Trudeau, right, this is a smart guy.
- 2:05I know a lot of people don't trust him. I mean, he's
- 2:07new, right, he just kind of emerged into people's consciousness. But the
- 2:10guy is very smart. And again I don't I'm not a mind reader.
- 2:15He has a great understanding of as far as I can tell geopolitics he understands
- 2:19Canadian politics or Trudeau anyway very well. He really nailed that one. Should
- 2:24we take a look at this one. That's kind of a long video.
- 2:27We'll watch the whole thing. Let's just get the gist of it here.
- 2:30Another one from the Veke. I mean, I enjoy listening to this guy.
- 2:35All right. We are riding with the veg here, and the question
- 2:38is is what are you going to do to take on the internet censorship.
- 2:40Look, first thing you have to realize is it's not big tech censorship.
- 2:44We gotta call it the right thing. The first step to solving a problem
- 2:46is to name it. It's government tech censorship. That's really what this mostly
- 2:51is. The government's using tech companies to do through the back door what the
- 2:54government could not directly do through the front door under the constitution. That's illeg
- 3:00behavior. And so I was the first person to write about this, or
- 3:02along with another law professor in January of twenty twenty one, writ in The
- 3:07Days Out In the aftermath of January sixth, I argue that when tech companies
- 3:09were doing right and then censoring speech, censoring Trump and otherwise was at the
- 3:14direction of government actors that were causing them to censor content that otherwise couldn't be
- 3:19censored directly through the front door, and that it was illegal. Back in
- 3:23twenty twenty one, it was dismissed as a conspiracy theory at the time.
- 3:25Now we know the reality is far worse than we imagine. That's illegal behavior.
- 3:30I think any government bureaucrat that has instructed a private company to do something
- 3:34that the government couldn't do directly needs to be held accountable. So elon did
- 3:38it with Twitter? Release this Twitter files. I'm going to release in first
- 3:42year the State Action files. Anytime a government bureaucrat is pressured a private company
- 3:46to do something the government couldn't do directly, we're going to publish it and
- 3:51we're going to hold the bad actors accountable. So that's how'm going to deal
- 3:53with that. Great, that's actually a really see what I mean, Like
- 3:59he's not is making you know, assertions right like your Twitter files, Like
- 4:02we know from the Twitter files that what he's saying is true. Really engage
- 4:08response what I run on One more policy Matterer on business Section two thirty needs
- 4:13to be turned into an opt in statue. So this is there's not a
- 4:16two thirty C one and C two. Forget C one for a second.
- 4:19C two says that these companies cannot be sued under state laws. There are
- 4:25many states that have laws that say you can't discriminate against somebody based on their
- 4:29political viewpoint. Section two thirty C two says, notwithstanding those state laws,
- 4:33a tech company can't be sued for doing it because there's a federal law that
- 4:36gives them a federal blanket of immunity. My view is you can't have it
- 4:40both ways. So if you want to be a private company, that's fine,
- 4:43operates a private company, but you don't get that liability rapper just the
- 4:46same thing do I do it for the vaccine manufacturers, by the way,
- 4:48But if you want the liability rapper in the tech company's case, then you're
- 4:51bound by the same constraints as the federal government, including the First Amendment to
- 4:57the Constitution. So I know it was a little technical, but I want
- 4:59to to give you it's an important part of the answer. Will you commit
- 5:02to a going agency by agency in the federal government everywhere from the FBI,
- 5:08the DHS, the National Science Foundation, DoD State Department, agent by agency
- 5:12by agency killing every single government grant and contract related to domestic mission and disinformation.
- 5:18Yes, that's an easy I thought this is gonna be hard. Well,
- 5:21I just yes, I find the guy very impressive. I mean,
- 5:26okay, poet, you're saying the guy is the great pretender. I don't
- 5:29know. I mean, look, I take everybody with a grain of salt,
- 5:30right, and this is certainly the kind of thing that I want to
- 5:36hear. I'm not a mind reader. I don't know what's in the guy's
- 5:39mind. Right. All I'm saying is that I like what I'm hearing,
- 5:44and the guy is impressive. I mean, maybe it is opal. I
- 5:47don't know that's entirely possible, right, But I enjoy the fact that we're
- 5:54starting to hear the kinds of things that we all have wanted to hear for
- 5:59a while, right, Like holyev is very popular in Canada because he's actually
- 6:03saying the things that are appealing to Canadians. Canadians have wanted to hear,
- 6:08and that, frankly, the Conservative leadership has been way too much of a
- 6:12pussy to say for a long time. Right, So we've kind of been
- 6:16waiting for people to kind of speak sense and cut the crap basically, So
- 6:24either way it's a good sign. Just the fact that there is of Avaiker
- 6:27almost from me saying these things is an important change. It's an important turn,
- 6:32you know, in the political culture. So just that in itself is
- 6:36a good things. It's positive
