'The Five' rip Trudeau for freezing bank accounts of Freedom Convoy truckers - YouTube

Channel: unknown

[1]
even though
[2]
things seem to be resolving very well in
[4]
ottawa this state of emergency is not
[8]
over
[10]
justin trudeau is not done going after
[12]
the canadian truckers even though the
[14]
police broke up the convoy and arrested
[16]
nearly 200 protesters this weekend
[18]
ottawa's police chief says they will
[20]
track down and punish anyone who is
[22]
involved in a protest
[24]
if you are involved in this protest we
[26]
will actively look to identify you and
[28]
follow up with financial sanctions and
[31]
criminal charges absolutely
[33]
this investigation will go on for months
[36]
to come
[37]
and truckers who have not been arrested
[39]
are dealing with the fallout of frozen
[41]
bank accounts and seized assets they've
[44]
uh they've taken my truck i don't know
[46]
where it is on friday they locked up my
[48]
personal and
[50]
trucking business accounts and also we
[52]
have another business and they locked
[53]
that account up too and it had nothing
[54]
to do with it
[57]
yeah just going to take everything from
[58]
you because you uh you spoke up right
[61]
dana you know a little bit about i don't
[63]
know handling a crisis
[65]
communications happens you could write a
[66]
book of how not to handle a crisis and
[69]
justin trudeau would be like on the
[70]
cover this um but what really bothers me
[73]
about it is the the gentleman you just
[74]
saw that was interviewed by bill this
[76]
morning so he has a separate business
[78]
that has nothing to do with the protest
[79]
and they seize those bank accounts as
[81]
well so he can't make any sort of living
[84]
i think it's outrageous for them to say
[85]
that they're going to track people down
[87]
for months they left they're no longer
[89]
there the crisis
[91]
so to speak is over i also wonder about
[94]
where are the pro bono lawyers to try to
[96]
help challenge these uh accounts being
[98]
seized because to me i i don't know
[100]
canadian law but i would assume maybe
[102]
emily could say like there has to be
[104]
some way to push back against that i
[106]
think about all those celebrities who
[108]
say they're going to move to canada and
[109]
every time a republican president is
[112]
elected i assume that they're probably
[114]
glad that they live in a country where
[115]
their property can't be seized because
[117]
they sent a donation to the truckers
[120]
jesse we're talking about seizing bank
[122]
accounts and assets this one guy said
[123]
they seized
[125]
assets of a business that has nothing to
[126]
do with his trucking business this is
[128]
retaliation how would that settle in
[130]
this country like what what would we do
[132]
as americans if the government came
[133]
after us uh for exercising i don't know
[136]
our second amendment right
[137]
well that's why we have a second
[139]
amendment joby jones exactly we must
[142]
send peacekeeping forces to canada at
[145]
this point that's our only recourse
[148]
you know unfortunately canada has a lot
[151]
of british dna in them they never
[152]
rebelled against the monarchy like we
[155]
did here in america so i think they're
[156]
more accustomed to king-like rule and i
[158]
only say this having been to canada
[161]
twice but i looked into their legal
[163]
system and it's not anything like the
[166]
freedom we have here they they don't
[168]
take religious liberty as seriously as
[171]
we do their gun control laws are
[173]
hyper-strict you can't even leave your
[175]
house with a handgun in canada um you
[178]
know that the government runs the health
[180]
care system over there and hate
[182]
speech is a crime so when we think of
[185]
things happening in canada it's not just
[187]
like some
[188]
colder version of america just to the
[191]
north i mean this is a radically
[192]
different legal system so we're shocked
[195]
when they seize that colder
[197]
know in america you see that i said in
[199]
america it's because you forged some
[200]
checks or your you know your back taxes
[203]
haven't cleared with the irs
[204]
you donated to a peaceful protest that
[207]
that would happen anywhere in the in in
[210]
the northern hemisphere is crazy so if
[213]
america wants to be respected as
[216]
a beacon of liberty geraldo a shining
[218]
city on hill when communist countries do
[221]
this when dictators do things like this
[224]
freeze assets go door to door put people
[227]
in prison for peaceful protest we speak
[229]
up and we should speak up and the fact
[231]
that you're doing
[232]
that right up there geraldo we should be
[235]
screaming you have been speaking up and
[237]
i want to know if you're going to stick
[238]
with these truckers now that they need
[240]
you for their legal defense you're
[242]
egging them on along with other
[244]
conservative comments
[245]
i'm standing on principle i would seize
[248]
assets
[249]
i was arrested after uh passing the bar
[252]
taking the bar july 1969 is in
[254]
washington d.c in the protest
[257]
i was going to be admitted to bar in
[258]
november i was totally delayed because
[261]
of my protest participation you have to
[263]
understand there's consequences when you
[265]
shut down
[270]
shut down a country as they did in
[272]
canada so so you're saying that that
[275]
free speech although it exists in a
[277]
different way there should result in
[278]
being trampled by a horse and having
[280]
your livelihood towed i don't want to
[282]
get into horse trampling again we're
[283]
getting to the border patrol and all
[285]
that uh you know one
[287]
it's not about horses and trampling it's
[289]
about shutting down canada for three and
[292]
a half weeks
[293]
they the people of ottawa were totally
[295]
inconvenienced they had trucks running
[297]
all night long the horns blowing they
[299]
had people be making they wore masks
[301]
they were being made fun of by the
[303]
protesters you paint them in this
[305]
picture like they're you know it's it's
[306]
robin hood
[308]
wait wait you're saying the protesters
[310]
made fun of someone
[311]
they harassed people oh my god
[314]
imagine if you put them in prison if you
[315]
had a mask on look at that look at
[318]
that oh my god
[326]
emily i guess it's a good thing we have
[328]
the first amendment in this country
[329]
because i remember not that long ago
[331]
there were protests that that we would
[333]
go on this channel and say hey we
[334]
support that protest but when it turns
[336]
into a riot then we feel like the police
[338]
should come in you know what they didn't
[339]
come in and they burned federal
[340]
buildings down and it got really ugly
[342]
really quick that hasn't happened up
[344]
there but instead most of them left and
[346]
the ones that didn't get arrested but
[347]
they're still according to the police
[349]
chief going to hunt you down and bring
[351]
consequences that's vindictive is it not
[353]
yeah so well i just want to respond to
[355]
what you said so the reason that your
[356]
your bar
[357]
license was yeah you wasn't you um was
[360]
held up you know you you only your
[362]
license is suspended terminated or not
[365]
instated if it's a crime of moral
[366]
turpitude and and protesting under
[369]
protected free speech is not that when
[372]
you talk about the inconvenience
[373]
canadians suffered at the hands of these
[375]
peaceful protesters that pales in
[378]
comparison with having a voice and you
[380]
do that little violin geraldo but this
[382]
is people's livelihoods these are
[383]
people's convictions what about the
[384]
livelihoods of the auto workers who
[386]
didn't get the parts so they couldn't
[388]
put together their fords and their
[389]
toyotas because these people closed the
[391]
bridge again that's a minor yeah one of
[393]
those is my best friend and he would
[394]
call you right now and tell you he also
[396]
doesn't want a government telling him he
[398]
should get a vaccine or vaccinate his
[400]
kids and that's part of the that's part
[401]
of this problem here that's the rest of
[403]
this conversation it's not just the
[405]
inconvenience of the people that live in
[407]
ottawa or perhaps washington dc
[409]
yeah and just as a quick final point you
[411]
know the supreme court here obviously
[412]
has ensured that political donations are
[414]
protected by free speech canada
[416]
obviously doesn't have that same
[417]
protection as we know uh but there's a
[419]
big argument here that financial deep
[421]
platforming is the next step of this
[423]
online censorship that we've experienced
[425]
sort of by social media by those bit by
[427]
paypal and whatnot sort of identifying
[429]
well we're going to take this person off
[430]
we're going to deny them but this what
[432]
we are seeing the magnitude and the
[433]
ripple effect of these people's
[435]
livelihoods being absolutely um
[438]
catastrophically
[439]
expunged i know we have to go um that's
[441]
something that we need to keep on and
[443]
and if the pen relinquishment thing
[445]
actually happens there is a special
[447]
place in the endless embers for that
