GREAT RAY KELLY JOINING US
TONIGHT.
WE APPRECIATE IT.
>> THANK YOU, TUCKER.
>> Tucker: CANADA, WHAT A
DECENT BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY FILLED
WITH NICE PEOPLE.
UNFORTUNATELY IT’S NOW AN
AUTHORITARIAN COUNTRY.
JUSTIN TRUDEAU’S GOVERNMENT HAS
OUTLAWED INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM
IN CANADA.
THE GOVERNMENT REQUIRES
JOURNALISTS POSSESS THE
JOURNALISM LICENSE.
TO GET THAT LICENSE, A
JOURNALIST HAS TO REPORT
FAVORABLY ON JUSTIN TRUDEAU’S
GOVERNMENT. REBEL NEWS IS ONE OF CANADA’S
REBEL NEWS IS ONE OF CANADA’S
FEW HONEST NEWS OUTLETS, DID NOT
GET A LICENSE.
THAT’S CALLED CENSORSHIP.
IT’S NOT SURPRISING.
LAST YEAR JUSTIN TRUDEAU TRIED
TO HAVE REBEL NEWS BANNED FROM
COVERING A DEBATE IN CANADA AND
A JUDGE OVERTURNED THE BAN AND
ALLOWED A REPORTER INSIDE THE
DEBATE ALL.
HERE’S JUSTIN TRUDEAU RESPONDED.
>> THE REALITY IS ORGANIZATIONS,
ORGANIZATIONS LIKE YOURS BUT
CONTINUE TO SPREAD
MISINFORMATION AND
DISINFORMATION ON THE SCIENCE
AROUND VACCINES, ARE ON HOW
WE’RE GOING TO ACTUALLY GET
THROUGH THIS PANDEMIC AND BE
THERE FOR EACH OTHER AND KEEP
OUR KIDS SAFE IS PART OF WHY WE
ARE SEEING SUCH UNFORTUNATE
ANGER AND LACK OF UNDERSTANDING
OF BASIC SCIENCE.
QUITE FRANKLY YOU ARE -- I WON’T
CALL IT A MEDIA ORGANIZATION.
>> Tucker: SO YOU CRITICIZE ME
THEREFORE YOU SHOULDN’T BE ABLE
TO TALK.
THE GUY IS A FASCIST JUST TO BE
TOTALLY CLEAR.
THE FOUNDER OF REBEL NEWS JOINS
US.
THANKS FOR COMING ON.
IT’S ONE OF THOSE STORIES THAT’S
HARD TO BELIEVE.
READING IT AS A LONGTIME FAN OF
YOUR COUNTRY THIS COULD BE
ALLOWED TO HAPPEN AND WE
OVERSTATED IT?
>> IT’S NOT YET ILLEGAL TO DO
JOURNALISM WITHOUT THE LICENSE,
IT’S A GOVERNMENT LICENSE CALLED
THE QUALIFIED CANADIAN
JOURNALISM ORGANIZATION LICENSE.
A GOVERNMENT PANEL REVIEWS YOU.
THEY SPENT ONE YEAR REVIEWING
REBEL NEWS LOOKING THROUGH MORE
THAN 100 OF OUR STORIES.
A PANEL OF FIVE PEOPLE IN SECRET
-- WE DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY
SAID OR DID OR WHAT THEY LOOKED
AT AND THEY CLAIM THAT ONLY 1%
OF OUR STORIES ARE NEWS SO WE
DON’T GET THE LICENSE.
WE ARE NOT OUTLAWED BUT THERE’S
ALL SORTS OF STICKS AND CARROTS
THAT COME WITH IT.
FOR EXAMPLE JUST LAST WEEK,
TRUDEAU ANNOUNCED HE IS GOING TO
COMPEL FACEBOOK AND GOOGLE TO
DOWNRIGHT NONLICENSED JOURNALIST
LIKE US AND BOOST HIS TRUSTED
FRIENDLY JOURNALISTS.
SO WE ARE GOING TO BE HIDDEN AND
HE’S GOING TO COMPEL THE
INTERNET GIANTS TO PUNISH US.
HE’S ALSO CHANGING THE INCOME
TAX ACT TO PUNISH US.
IF YOU HAVE A GOVERNMENT
LICENSE, YOU ARE -- YOUR
SUBSCRIBERS CAN WRITE OFF THEIR
SUBSCRIPTION AT TAX TIME.
IF YOU’RE AN UNDEFENDED
JOURNALIST LIKE US, NO DICE.
OF COURSE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT HE IS
POSING WITH A FIRE HOSE AT HIS
TRUSTED LICENSE JOURNALISTS AND
HE’S COMPELLING GOOGLE AND
FACEBOOK TO FUND JOURNALISTS
TOO.
NOW YOU HAVE LITERALLY 99% OF
CANADIAN MEDIA COMPANIES THAT
ARE DEPENDENT ON JUSTIN TRUDEAU
AND SOON GOOGLE AND FACEBOOK FOR
A HUGE CHUNK OF THEIR REVENUES,
THERE’S NO WAY THOSE JOURNALISTS
CAN BE FREE AND INDEPENDENT.
WE ARE NOT BANNED YET ALTHOUGH
WE ARE BANNED FROM GOVERNMENT
EVENTS, AS YOU SAID.
I’M WORRIED THAT HE HAS DONE ALL
THIS IN TWO YEARS.
THE WORST IS YET TO COME.
HE MAY WELL BAN US YET.
>> Tucker: IF HE IS FORCING
THE TECH MONOPOLIES TO DOWNGRADE
YOUR CONTENT, IT’S A DISTINCTION
WITHOUT A DIFFERENCE.
YOU ARE BANNED FROM REACHING
READERS.
MY QUESTION IS ONE ABOUT THE
REST OF CANADIAN MEDIA?
THEY ARE GOING ALONG WITH THIS?
IS ANYONE AT THE CDC DEFENDING
YOU?
ANY OF YOUR NEWSPAPERS?
>> 1500 CANADIAN NEWS MEDIA
COMPANIES ARE ON THE TAPE.
THEY DON’T HAVE THE JOURNALISM
LICENSES BUT THEY ARE TAKING
MONEY FROM TRUDEAU.
SPECIAL $61 MILLION PAYMENT TO
THEM RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTION.
NONE OF THEM REPORTED THAT.
1500 NEWS MEDIA COMPANIES CUT UP
A 61 MILLION-DOLLAR GIFT.
NONE OF THEM REPORTED THAT.
SO SINCE THEY THEY ARE INNOVATIV
THEY CAN’T VERY WELL REPORTED
AND THEY CERTAINLY CAN’T VERY
WELL OBJECT TO IT.
IT USED TO BE THAT THE LIBERALS
OF CANADA WERE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS
AND FREE SPEECH AND SEPARATION
OF GOVERNMENT AND THE MEDIA.
THOSE DAYS ARE DONE.
YOU CAN COUNT ON ONE HAND THE
INDEPENDENT MEDIA LEFT IN THE
COUNTRY AND TRUDEAU HATES THEM.
WE WERE THE ONES WHO COVER THE
TRUCKER REBELLION, AS YOU KNOW
AND TRUDEAU HATED THE TRUCKERS
BECAUSE THEY WERE THE ONE GROUP
THAT OPPOSED HIM.
HE HATES US FOR THE SAME REASON.
HE SEES THE BANK ACCOUNT OF
TRUCKERS WITHOUT LEGAL PROCESS.
IF HE IS GONE THIS FAR INTO
YEARS, BY THE TIME HE FINISHES
HIS TERM THREE YEARS FROM NOW, I
AM WORRIED HE IS GOING TO START
TO TREAT US LIKE THE TRUCKERS.
WILL HE SEES OUR BANK ACCOUNTS?
WILL HE ASK GOOGLE AND FACEBOOK
TO DELIST US ALTOGETHER?
I KNOW THAT SOUNDS PARANOID BUT
SO FAR HE’S DONE EVERYTHING HE
THREATENED HE WOULD DO.
>> Tucker: IT’S CHINA.
THEY ARE SO FRAGILE.
YOU ARE ONE LITTLE NEWS
ORGANIZATION AND THEY CAN’T
