What's up QAA listeners?
The fun games have begun.
I found a way to connect to the internet.
I'm sorry, boy.
Welcome listener to Chapter 177 of the Q&O anonymous podcast,
the Clone Convoy to Congress episode.
As always, we are your host, Jake Rockatansky,
Annie Kelly, Liv Aker, Julian Fields, and Travis View.
This week, we've done.
We've got the entire crew together to explore a set of Q&on-related news stories.
Our first big story is about Ron Watkins, now congressional candidate, and his recent rant
at an Arizona school board meeting, where he screeched about communists and critical
race theory, among other things.
He has a partner with him and they served documents to the people there.
It's very weird.
In that vein we'll be speaking to Haley of Arizona Right Wing Watch who attended Ron's
very first political rally on February 1st in Prescott, Arizona.
Our second story involves a whole bunch of red-pilled Canadian truckers, forming a convoy
and heading to Ottawa to confront Trudeau.
Liv, I think you have some explaining to do for this home country.
They're making Canada great again.
What else is there to say?
They're importing great again via freight truck.
But before we dive into all of these, Annie has prepared an appetizer of sorts.
Boris Johnson may be a clone.
And I can say this because I don't live in the UK.
Annie, are you in full agreement with this statement?
I am, yeah.
I'm coming to you guys with some pretty dark news.
For years now, I've been giving you the impression
that Boris Johnson is the Prime Minister of the UK,
and I've recently learned that that is, in fact, misinformation.
So I apologize for the part I played in spreading that.
Whoa, this is an about face.
Really, we've tainted the sanctity of this podcast.
So it all began with the ongoing Westminster scandal in my country
known as Partygate, where it was revealed that various points over lockdown number 10
Downing Street has been rocking out like it's 1999.
This has naturally rocked the British public's world, as it speaks to the darkest anxiety
at the heart of every Englishman, the fear that someone, somewhere, is having fun.
A much-awaited report was published into this yesterday, and Cirque Estama, leader of the Labour
Party, took the opportunity to condemn Boris Johnson's poor leadership and fly
flagrant breaches of the very rules he created,
Johnson hit back with a low blow,
referencing Sir Stama's job history as the head of the Crown Prosecution Service.
Well, Mr Speaker, there's a reason why he said absolutely nothing
about the report that was presented by this government
and later put in the library of the House earlier on today.
That is because, Mr. Speaker, the report does absolutely nothing
to substantiate the tissue of nonsense he has just spoken.
Absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing. Instead, Mr. Speaker, this leader of the opposition,
a former director of public prosecutions, Mr. Speaker. He spent most of his time prosecuting
journalists and failing to prosecute Jimmy Saville, as far as I can make that, Mr. Speaker.
He, Mr. Speaker, chose to use this moment, he used this moment, Mr. Speaker, continually
to prejudge a police inquiry. That's what he chose to do. He, he chose to do. He, he, he
He's reached his conclusions about it.
I'm not going to reach any conclusions,
and he would be entirely wrong to do so.
You know, I've never seen Rees Moog this happy.
I sentence you to 30 years in Ascaban.
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I just love the hubbub, you know.
Like, man, American Congress is boring compared.
Our politics are so barbaric, aren't they?
I know. I know.
I know.
politicians were allowed to have it out like this.
I mean, I think it would release a lot of tensions in America.
We could just scream at each other, you know, in a seemingly professional setting.
It's funny because, like, Canada has all of the British decorum, but none of, like, the swag.
It's all, like, like, America where it's, like, really calm.
Yeah, you just don't have the, like, yeah, natural rage that's in the heart of all British people.
That's the problem.
Yeah.
I'm not a fan of the fact that they outlawed throwing vegetables.
Yeah, that would only add to the swag and potentially the drip as well.
Where are the gallows, sirs? Give us the entire medieval, you know, court of the people.
Now, to be clear, what Johnson said to Stama is technically true in that the CPS did investigate but not prosecute Saville in 2009, while Stama was the director of prosecutions there.
The clear implication, however, that Stama personally made that decision or in some way covered up his crimes is not.
The investigation collapsed due to none of the four victims who were interviewed being prepared to testify in court,
a problem that is all too common in prosecuting cases of sexual assault,
but particularly against such a powerful celebrity.
There's a lot to be said about how those victims and Saville's countless others were failed at an institutional level,
but it's a pretty serious matter to turn into a sassy comeback.
There was one group of people who were very pleased with Johnson raising the matter.
QAnon.
British QAnoners here have been circulating a story about Starmus' supposed involved
was Saville for years and were delighted to see their meme having reached the halls of parliament.
There was just one problem, though.
They also believe Boris Johnson as a satanic paedophile colluding with the deep state.
His sudden red pilling was a big deal, but it needed an explanation.
They arrived at the only obvious conclusion.
Despite the evidence of your eyes and ears, it wasn't Johnson who said it at all.
So what appears to be a small Muppet or Sesame Street character says,
if this is the fake bojo and I hope it is
that I'm all for him calling out Stama
we're all in the same club but a fake Boris won't be
so the idea here is that
Boris wouldn't be a pedophile if there was a clone of him
yeah that's right
the idea is that it must be a fake Boris
because the real Boris would never
call out Peter Philead because he's deeply involved in it all
I see so that's an interesting loophole
so when you make a clone of someone
They are absolved of all heinous crimes, the original name.
And they're also, they take out the pedophilia gene.
Brilliant.
Yeah, but if you see the second quote says, yes, it is.
He even has a different eye color.
I say leave him there as it looks like the white hats are controlling him.
So maybe when they changed his eye color, they also change the pedophilia thing.
Yeah.
Not a white hat clone expert.
I hold my hands up.
He does resemble like a human lightly draped over some.
pretty grotesque, you know, wooden structure.
Maybe held by strings, so this makes sense.
One and surprising user even found an old cue drop from March 2020,
which seemed to predict exactly what they were thinking.
Mystery solved.
Play a game of where are they now.
Think CEOs.
Think FBI.
Think DOJ.
Think WH.
Think state.
Think C-A.
Think F Intel.
Think judge install. Think SC install. Think DOJ install. Think FBI install. Think CIA install. Think PMUK install. Think the best is yet to come. Q.
My God. So, yeah, confirmed. Not the real Boris Johnson. At some point, he was replaced with a clone by the White Hatts.
I like it. They updated him like Windows 11.
Eventually, he got a warning, you know, he got a warning notice.
It was time to update, and he made the carnal mistake of clicking yes.
Never let the new Boris Johnson rule too quickly because all of your drivers will break.
Yeah, this whole story has come as quite a depressing development to me, honestly.
I've often thought one of the main differences between US and UK QAnon is that UK Q&ONN for all its insanity,
At least doesn't seem to cleave across partisan lines in exactly the same way as it does for our US brethren.
Most Q&ONAs here seem to share a near universal hatred of all politicians and parties.
If this theory takes off, though, and Boris becomes recast as a secret white-hack clone,
working against the sinister machinations of the deep state,
we might be seeing the beginnings of a Q&N realignment here, which is pretty depressing.
Damn.
Well, at least they hate everybody, kind of, but I guess now there's like a good Boris who's a clone.
Yeah.
So that's cool.
I mean, you want, like, at least one hero in the story.
Yeah, and of course it's Boris Johnson.
Well, they just were like, well, it can't be Boris Johnson.
But what if it was Boris Johnson?
And they solve the problem for the missing Trump figure for Q.
It's that easy.
Yeah.
I'm sort of surprised that, like, British QAnon people don't like Boris.
I mean, because, you know, especially like the Lib view, he's like, oh, it's just like Trump, but in Britain.
and he's got that sort of comical right-wing stuff to him.
Yeah, but I don't think he's got Trump's thing of being like an outsider.
Right.
In the same way, like he's kind of eaten, educated, Oxford, like, he's quite clearly kind of an aristocrat
or comes from an aristocratic family.
Like, it just doesn't quite work in the same way as Trump being a kind of Washington
outsider did.
Congressional candidate Ronald Watkins versus the Scottsdale School Board.
This week, it's fallen on me to cover a well-known figure in the Q&ON scene.
Ron Watkins, aka CodeMonkey Z.
Now, a bit of background for those who don't know.
Ron is the son of Jim Watkins, owner of Ait Chan, now Ait Kuhn,
the board on which Q posted most of their drops.
Ron was also the administrator of Ate Kuhn until he, quote, unquote, retired from that position
as media attention grew, culminating in the HBO documentary,
Q into the storm, which made a compelling argument that Ron was at the very least
closely involved in QAnon, using his administrative privileges to verify Q's identity
at a crucial moment in early 2018, after which many believe he was in control of the Q posts
whether or not he was writing them himself. Now, Ron, of course, denies all of this, but has since
used his personal account, first on Twitter before being banned and now on Telegram, to
spread conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, COVID, and a variety of other stuff. He's also
more openly adopted writing structures resembling Q's, perhaps as a true.
or maybe because he just doesn't give a shit what it looks like anymore.
And that's the catch with Ron.
He's one of the most inauthentic human beings on Earth.
He approaches reality with a terminal case of Chanbrain.
Believing the red-pilling of the masses far outweighs the humiliation of pretending
to be a simple country patriot.
He speaks in catchphrases mostly and veers between this kind of barely massed contempt
for the true believers and a sort of hapless Mr. Magoo act.
Now, I'm really not trying to cast him as some sort of Machiavellian genius.
either, but it is clear that his schick speaks to at least three different audiences.
The Libs, who he wants to either believe he's an evil mastermind or a hapless moron,
the Q-supporting Roobes, who he needs support from and gets a lot of love from,
and the nihilistic Chan creatures who form his core circle,
who have a refined palette that can appreciate what Ron is really attempting to do,
which, in simple words, is to red pill the Normies by any means.
If you research early Q&ON, and especially the communities that formed around it on the image boards,
you're going to hear this stated as their goal over and over.
Even if they don't even believe Q is a military or government insider,
they'll shrug their shoulders and say, who gives a shit?
It's red-pilling the Normies.
And today, what Ron is doing is really no different at all.
He's switched over to his personal account.
He's grown more integrated into a subsection of the GOP.
But all of his posting, and even his congressional campaign in Arizona's second district,
are just extended attempts to pill the normies, build clout,
and maybe make some money along the way.
So it's unsurprising that he's embraced Steve Bannon's not.
nihilistic grassroots approach to overwhelming low-level American institutions by saying dumb shit
at school board meetings mostly. On Tuesday, the 25th of January, Ron showed up to the Scottsdale
Unified School District to make a speech with plenty of supportive people in tow. In a video he
published to his telegram, you can see him standing at the podium, waiting to begin his speech
while a maskless woman hands out notices to each of the school board members who are all saying,
no, you can't do this, no, no, no. And once she's done, because she doesn't listen to them,
Everybody applauds, including Ron.
And on his telegram channel, Ron has identified her as Mickey Klan.
Now, that's a K and two ends in that.
Explaining that she represents an organization called Bonds for the Win.
Now, I looked into her a bit more, and she appears to be a 47-year-old web designer living in Scottsdale, Arizona.
She does notably have a long string of companies to her name, all of which are currently active somehow.
Togo Web LLC.
Contribute LLC.
That's Contribute with a W.
General Brilliance LLC.
Golf Nations LLC.
Imagine Nations Technology and Innovation LLC.
Indulgent Industries LLC.
Liqua Media website design LLC.
And MMK-2020 Investment LLC.
So based on that list, it appears she likes her liabilities limited.
So it sounds like she's either a really amazing business person starting up all these companies or she's really terrible.
Or, alternatively, she's incredibly corrupt.
One of those three options would explain this long list of LLCs.
Yeah, who knows which of those it is.
Mickey, whose real name is Michelle, has appeared as a guest on two Q&on talk shows,
hosted respectively by influencers Scott McKay, aka Patriot Street Fighter, and Nicholas Vinyaman.
On McKay's show, she appeared alongside Tommy Numbers, and Negative 48 himself, Michael Protsman.
Unsurprisingly, they discussed Gametria extensively.
Ali Metzzi, who goes by Penial Decalcalfi on Twitter and happens to be the QAA lawyer,
dug a little further and concluded that the effort was, quote,
a sovereign citizen-esque scheme to harass public officials.
Klan's organization is raising money, and by Metzzi's account, quote,
involves a fiction where every public office holder must have a surety bond from a private company to hold office.
Klan promises followers that they can get these private companies to remove people from office.
Now, bonds for the win encourages groups of 10 or more.
people to serve the public officials with letters of intent. On their fundraising page, they explain,
quote, in this letter, state only the facts and what rules or laws have been broken. Give them
your conditions. Be strong and firm. Give them 48 to 72 hours to meet your conditions.
After this, these amateur Batman villains are told to, quote, file a claim against their bond.
As Metzi points out, quote, the underlying promise of clan's scheme is fake. She is lying to people when she says a
probably imaginary shirdy bond company can remove someone from public office if people complain.
So just complete horseshit. Another one of her weird companies, apparently, and this one's
heavily political. So we've got a classic case of Arizona redpilling. So that's like a fascinating
scam. So she's like scamming all of these like red pill people, presumably to get like people
out of office that they don't like because they are into critical race theory or vaccines or whatever.
There's no clear way for her to make money with this other than maybe just raising
money for the organization separately.
Like the scheme itself actually doesn't financially exploit them.
It really does just get harassment to happen against, and in the process, it also gets people
to, quote unquote, identify these officials, which means that they're basically doxing them
in the process of harassing them as well and sharing that information online with others.
So once the applause for Klan settles down, Ron Watkins addresses the school board.
So here's his speech in its entirety.
It's about two minutes long.
And the second half is mostly just people yelling at him to stop while he talks.
Tough crowd.
Communism is encroaching in our country.
Communist school boards are now indoctrinating our children with transsexual propaganda
and teaching them to be racist against white people by teaching racist violence, critical racist theory.
I'm not white myself, but I've dealt with racism.
and understand how dangerous and misguided it is to teach our children to be racist.
Teaching our vulnerable children to be racist and indoctrinating them with transsexual propaganda
was not the intent of our family fathers when they fought and sacrificed for our freedoms
so many years ago.
The communist creaks at our school boards are now taking our parental rights away by teaching
our children that they can be vaccinated
without parental consent.
This is a blatant destruction of the family units
with the goal of undermining our society from the ground up.
Communism must not take hold.
We must never comply with communist policies.
I am Ron Watkins, running for Congress in Arizona's District, number two.
When I am elected to office, I will be introducing legislation
to stop the communist creeds at schoolburgs around our beautiful
state and country from enacting unconstitutional, tyrannical, liberty-destroying anti-God policies.
Without God, we have tyranny, and the charity can be seen, right here and right now.
With the insane policies, these three-beat communist school boards are trying to enforce.
I hereby give notice of my intent to file a claim against the bonds of this school board
for enforcing unconstitutional policies against our children.
If the school board does not immediately cease and desist with their own social policies,
I intend to file a bond plan within five business states.
Thank you very much and God bless.
Standing ovation. Nailed it.
I've never heard the transsexual propaganda part yet.
That seems to be a new addition to his cornucopia of fucking awful beliefs that he's bitching about.
Which is, of course, this podcast now.
Yes.
Well, it's been infiltrated.
Let's say, as communists would also infiltrate.
That's true.
So maybe he's right about our podcast, but he's not right about the school boards.
In response to this, a school district spokesperson told Newsweek that...
Scottsdale Unified School District does not teach critical race theory as part of our approved curriculum,
nor does it vaccinate students or determine what vaccinations are required for school enrollment.
Assertions to the contrary are fabricated and are made in pursuit of a political agenda
not designed to advance the educational objectives of the school district.
But all of these facts are really just beside the point.
For months now, Ron has been promoting conspiracy theories on telegram
and raising money for his political campaign.
The school board meeting appearance and teaming up with this bonds company bullshit
is just another PR opportunity for him,
coming on the tale of a rather poor interview of Watkins conducted by CNN
during which none of his background was addressed
and he presented himself as a legitimate political candidate.
In recent weeks, Ron has appeared on most of the most of the same.
multiple far-right shows, including those of David Clements, Jeffrey Peterson, not to be confused
with Jeffrey Peterson, aka In The Matrix, on whose podcast he's also appeared, Conservative Daily
with Joe Altman and his own podcast that he runs with Tony Tiora called like Nerve Center, I think,
on which Watkins interviewed Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, a COVID misinformation idiot.
So, I mean, obviously on offer, same trash as usual election, COVID conspiracy theories,
that kind of stuff, self-promotion. Since losing his Twitter account,
Ron mostly communicates on Telegram, but he's also set up a couple websites, one in his own name and the other to collect funds for his campaign.
His slogan there is, quote, fighting for God, freedom, and truth, no matter the consequence.
As I mentioned earlier, Ron appeared on the longtime QAnon fixture, the Matrix Groove Show or MG show.
The hosts interviewed Ron at an event for Mike Flynn called Reawaken America in Phoenix, Arizona.
Here's how they set up the interview before airing it, and I thought this was.
was quite comical. I kind of want to set this up a little bit because it was kind of funny
because the same dude, what was that guy's name? What's his name, Shady? Oh my gosh, I forgot
his name. Holdback, Holland. Yeah. So there's the Q into the storm, Kurt Hoback guy, following
around Code Monkey Z. There he is right there. And Shady and I were like, hey, can we get a picture
with you? And what did I do? Shady, what did I whispered into his ear? What did I say? Do you
remember? He said, we just interviewed Q.
man so we kind of trolled them a little bit there's code monkey right there and boy the conversation
shady that we had in the elevator and before and after the interview were quite epic as you know
myself and shady and many many annons have been digging on the queue research board on eight coon
and code monkey z is the one that made that possible in order for cue to post so yeah they're like
going up to cullen and just whispering stuff into his ears
That's a lot
weirder than what they were doing with Travis.
He just wanted to make sure Travis, you know,
knew about this Chinese family's bloodline
and that he wasn't such a bad guy.
Yeah, I was.
I also say that I'll be a little bit skeptical.
He talked about our encounter once
and he kind of like misrepresented it a little bit.
So I don't know how much of this is entirely true.
Who knows?
The interview is really quite tedious
in The Matrix, aka Jeffrey Peterson,
spends a good part of it showing off
his baking skills to the sense.
But Ron does explain how he claims to have decided to run for Congress.
So I was like a digital activist, right?
Just doing work online, trying to figure out all this stuff.
And we're just trying to dig up information and do the best we can to hold the politicians and the corrupt officials accountable.
They need to be held accountable.
And, you know, they're most...
Oh, yeah, and they're most scared of the truth.
So I dig and I find the truth and I bring it out and I'm not scared.
to publish it. And I was finding all this crazy stuff that, you know, should be putting people
in jail. But nothing ever happened. You know, the politicians just sit on, they sit on their
hands and nothing ever happens. So I figured, you know, if they're not going to do it, then I might
as well get in and do it myself. So it was about six months ago, I was thinking, what am I doing
with myself? What am I doing with my time? And I had two people asked me on the same exact day.
like, hey, Ron, what are you doing?
Like, what is, what, what are you doing?
What is the point of all this activism that you're doing?
I was like, well, I don't really know.
So, I thought about it for two days.
And I came to the conclusion, yeah, I have to run for office.
It's not what I want to do, but it's what I need to do.
What degree do you think of the awkwardness is like a bit compared to just him being an awkward guy?
He's actually quite a smooth guy, actually,
apparently, interpersonally, he puts on this kind of deer in headlights act.
And I think, you know, the smiling, sometimes he just can't help himself.
Like, he's just trolling so fucking hard that he's smiling a bit.
I think he also was told to smile because he's supposed to be a politician.
So it's layers of shit.
I think he also just might suffer from just like not knowing what to do with your hands
when you're on camera, which I get that too.
That's relatable.
In the interview, Ron sticks to the same claims he brought up to Travis on last week's
main episode that covered the Arizona Trump rally. And that's that he wants to protect Native American
land rights and cares about human trafficking, basically. But here he ties it to one of his congressional
opponents, apparently sponsored by Mark Cuban. And Ron explains, quote, my opponent is a billionaire who
is trying to poison the Native Americans. So if you ever thought it was a genuine concern of his,
I hope that puts it to rest. He's just using it to attack his opponent in the Republican primary,
accusing him of being a rhino and surprisingly a carpetbagger which is really rich coming from ron
who lived in the philippines and then japan and then moved back and started this congressional run
yeah that's i mean obviously it's not surprisingly shameless but i suppose it's characteristically
shameless so after explaining that ron was combating evil forces by running for congress and praising
his ground game peterson then shifted to fundraising for him and of course because peterson cannot help
himself, he also slipped in a Q reference.
Where can they donate? Let's pick a random number, uh, 17. My listeners, our listeners are
going to donate $17 to Ron Watkins right now in Arizona running for Congress. So give
them the, give them the address and give them the 246. All right. So you can donate to my
campaign at and $17. That's a great number.
It's a random number. Yeah, it's quite an auspicious number. And every pay
accounts. We're running a lean campaign. We're not flush with money. You know, we're just
scrapping by, but we're doing the best that we can with what we got. And, you know, money is
starting to come in more and more. So hopefully by the time the primary comes along, we'll have
raised enough to do with some TV ads. That'd be really fantastic. I love that because, like,
$17 is so little for a campaign. Like, maybe say $170 or something. Like, they couldn't help
themselves. He's going to tank his campaign because he keeps asking for $17 instead of $50.
That would be a funny result.
Yeah, he's going to end up with like $740.
Oh, my God.
Speaking of money, Ron recently filed the year-end report for his campaign,
and it appears that by New Year's Eve 2021,
he had collected a bit over $30,000 in contributions.
Holy shit.
He also declared operating costs of $17,000.
Don't even know if that one's a troll.
I just can't, I don't even care anymore.
So the interview ended pretty funnily.
Peterson was like, before we go, where we'd go one, but then Ron didn't respond,
so Jeffrey just finished it himself.
He'd go all.
He left him hanging.
I guess we don't all go.
If Watkins was in any way related to Millie to Q, there's a great sort of analogy for his
attitude to Q people.
Yeah.
He did follow up, you know, to end the interview, he went, thank you and God bless.
You know, so it's just whatever.
I mean, he's not really conspiracy theory shy.
He's been on telegram these past months, just absolutely going nuts,
asking his followers bullshit cue style questions like,
Was the Omicron variant created using gain of function technology,
then dropped off in Africa to spread through the world?
He's been comparing vaccine mandates, the Holocaust, of course,
and claiming that, quote,
the legal framework and physical infrastructure for concentration camps are being put into place.
Bold statement.
He has not abandoned, of course, the election conspiracy theories either.
I mean, that was basically his bread and butter in the interregnum between the last Q posts
and his ban from Twitter.
And on December 17th, and this is for sure, you know, not by mistake, 2021, Ron posted something
he called the Clarion's Call.
And it's basically halfway between a cue drop and the 14 words.
Oh, good.
Yeah, but it reads like a John Mayer song.
I vow to take our struggle to the House of Congress.
Read it with the cue voice, you lunatic.
I vow to punish the enemies of our Constitution.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
I vow to take our struggle to the halls of Congress.
I vow to punish the enemies of our Constitution.
I vow to bring retribution upon the corrupt institutions, killing our family and friends for profit.
I vow to shine the light of truth deep into the eyes of the demons of D.C.
I vow to throw a wrench into the political engines that have stolen our God-given rights.
I vow to engage in mortal combat against the satanic mandates.
I vow to put on the whole armor of God and fearlessly stand on the front lines of the battle between good.
and evil.
I vow to fight for freedom.
I vow to fight for you
with your support and God's
great will. Our crusade
against evil will be victorious
and we will leave a better America
for our children.
Oh man.
And by the way, this kind of went
under the radar, I think. Not really many people
picked up that he was doing a troll
on December 17th, but yeah, this post is
so clearly his attempt at
rocking a Q post.
telegram broadly reads like a greatest hits of Q and on bullshit. You know, the vaccine is the
mark of the beast. Globalists are trying to impose it on you. It's all a communist plot. His campaign is
over the target, etc. And this is punctuated by fundraising links, media appearances and like
links to bullshit articles or whatever. But he has held a rally in Prescott, Arizona on February 1st,
2022, where he collected signatures to appear on the ballot in the Republican primary for Arizona's second
district. The flyer for the event, which Ron posted on Telegram, encouraged attendees to bring
Trump signs and stated that he'd be giving out campaign merch. Now, I'm speaking with Haley from
Arizona right wing watch. That's AZ underscore RWW on Twitter. She attended the event on our
behalf. Welcome to the show, Haley. Hi. Thank you for having me. It's a pleasure. You've been doing
great work for a while, specifically in Arizona. And we've kind of, you know, just met up with you at events
because we're both covering them.
So it's a pleasure to finally work a little bit together.
Oh, yeah.
I got kicked out of an event with Travis.
That was fun.
That, well, for Travis who got to stay in, yeah?
Yeah.
Okay, so speaking of events, you showed up a bit late to this rally,
but Ron wasn't even there, so it didn't matter.
So what were the vibes of the, you know, crowd forming there?
Yeah, so I was late because there was a fire on the one road up there,
so that'll stop traffic for a while.
So I was just sitting around waiting
And there was already like a group of about 30 people there
And you could tell it was people waiting for Ron
Because there was a guy selling a Frazzle Drip shirt
One of the best shirts I've ever seen
It's not just Frazzle Drip, it has Frazzle Drip
Adrenachrome HRC
So referencing Hillary
It says Ho, yeah
It says Ho as well, I missed that
Yeah
And then it says Save the Children
Hashtag Save the Children on the side
On the Arms
And in the middle is like one of the most
awful looking rabbits that can't even be described as a white rabbit, like a kind of gray,
like edgy rabbit you might see on like a no fear t-shirt in the 90s.
Yeah.
One of the coolest t-shirts, I saw you nabbed yourself one of those.
Well, I am deranged, yes.
So this guy's set up like this t-shirt salesman who just likes Ron, I guess, like set up there.
Yeah, I think he was just hanging out because he was talking to Tony Tior for a while.
Ron's campaign manager
slash alien leaks partner
Yes so yes for the listener
This guy Tony Tora wrote a few
Hairbrained books in the kind of comedy
Sci-Fi genre
Then he was involved with the Alien Leaks stunt that Ron pulled
And now they have a shitty podcast together called NerveCenter
And of course I just found out
He's also Ron's campaign manager
Paid an apparent sum of $4,000 a month
In the first month that he's working for him or something
I don't is that about right
Yeah, the FEC filings just came out for Ron, and he didn't make that much.
But his donations show that, like, he's paying Tony, so Tony's getting paid.
That's good for Tony.
Good for Tony.
He was carrying all the boxes.
That was the thing, is that Ron was late.
So I was sitting around, and I thought maybe that big crowd was it.
I thought Ron wasn't going to show.
Like, I thought maybe he was just going to have people, like, collect signatures for him.
Because he needs 2,000 still.
So I was just sitting around waiting, and I was like, maybe I'll just talk to some people.
And then as soon as I started to get up to record that Ron Watkins for Congress truck that was driving next to me on the way up, he showed up.
I saw him. I saw him. He was walking just a cool Ron in his suit.
Yeah. And Tony's carrying like two giant boxes of merch that they were handing out.
Incredible.
So Tonys aren't in the money. He's working.
Oh, yeah. No, he's a hardworking man. And he seems that way.
But this truck also, like, it's hard to just say, oh, it's a let's go brand in, you know, pro Ron Watkins truck.
It is a white painted wood panel kind of drilled to the side of this truck.
And it has been spray painted with like military stencils in just black.
It's very bare bones.
And kind of spoke briefly, I guess, to the guy who was driving it.
And he appeared to be just a supporter of Ron who driven there.
Yeah, he's from Phoenix.
He's from Peoria.
And he was at the Trump rally with that truck also.
I didn't see him, and I didn't see Travis Post about it.
But, yeah, so he was there supporting Ron.
And he drove all the way from Peoria to just give his support.
He's a big fan.
There was two guys that seemed like they were pretty actual big fans of Ron.
And then a lady who got a bunch of merch for her kids, and they were all running around in Ron hats.
Oh, boy.
Yeah, they were like little, little.
Yeah, because, you know, Ron talked about his.
daughter briefly? Yeah, we're going to watch that footage, actually. Yeah. You know, I think that was
something that a few people in the press might have gotten wrong. They said, you know, he's childless,
he's going to the school district. Now, it's irrelevant. His child does not go to school there.
Yeah. But yeah, he has to kind of address it. So that was interesting to know that he does have a daughter.
Okay, so you show up, you know, Ron arrives. What is the vibe among the crowd? Are they, are they like,
wow. Oh, they were excited. As soon as they saw him walk in, they all, that's how I knew it was all for him,
finally. They all started to huddle towards him. Because when this, if you watch my video,
if you look at the speech, it was originally facing another direction. It was facing the direction
of that Ron Watkins for Congress truck. Right. And then my video cuts facing the courthouse
because like he just started talking as soon as the group swarmed him. Like he was excited
to talk. But then like a media team got there. So we switched over to the courthouse setting. So he
like a nice backdrop. And was that an MSM or were they pro-wrong? No, it was like a local news team,
like News 12 or something. And I bet they weren't asking any questions about QAnon.
No, I think they were just asking about his campaign because I talked to the guy afterwards
and he said that he asked him about who was helping him set up the campaign finances for his
campaign and he said Joel Altman was. So, oh, great. Yeah, that's another name.
Yeah, he did speak to Ron recently as well.
Yeah, normal guy.
So, okay, so would you say, like, everybody was, like, signing the petition and how many people overall, like, over the two hours were there?
There was only, like, 30-ish people, you know, mostly older people.
One, three percent are there.
He had the patches on.
Ron said there were a hundred, so are you saying that's not likely?
I'm going to say that's a bit of a lie.
It was pretty, it was no.
And some of the people there, okay, so there was a group of people there,
that were there, like, for this thing called Trump Tuesdays.
So every Tuesday, a group of people meet on that corner, and they just wave flags.
And it says, like, Trump Tuesdays on the signs.
And that's what they do.
So they were already there.
Some people were already there.
But the lady that leads it said to me as she was coming up, like, oh, we do this every Tuesday,
but Ron Watkins is here today.
So she knew.
Okay.
Yeah. So he was like a guest and something that was already occurring and it still was about 30 people.
Yeah. It's not like a big thing that occurs. It's just a group of mostly older ladies that stand on the corner every Tuesday and wave Trump flags and people honk at them.
Amazing.
Arizona. That's everywhere. I see that everywhere.
So, you know, his speech was, you know, a lot of, pretty boring. He kind of like dishes on Bernovich. He's like, maybe he's getting paid so he can go on CNN.
Yeah, just funny because I don't think I've seen Bernovich on CNN.
Yeah, no, I don't know.
He's the, I mean, he is right wing as hell, like border hardline guy.
And he's the Arizona Attorney General, right?
Yeah, the current one, yeah.
The guy who used nunchucks to kind of subtly threaten Ron.
No, that's an old meme.
Okay, so Ron says that that's an attack on him.
That's a reference to an old, he made an old video where he did a Nunchuk thing.
So he's just meaming.
This has nothing to do with Ron.
Yeah.
So he does that. He talks a lot about his opponent's connection to Mark Cuban, the guy from
fucking Shark Tank. Oh, yeah. Okay. So he talked about Eli Crane, which is not really his
main opponent. Eli Crane has about as good a chance as Ron does. His main job is making
huge bottle openers out of the giant bullets, you know, the huge bullets. Look his website up.
It's pretty sick. Wow. Awesome. Yeah. Okay. So he was on Shark Take and the bullet bottle opener is
what Mark Cuban funded. So that's his connections to Mark Cuban. He explains, he's like,
you're small business owners, he tells the crowd. If a billionaire owns 10% of your company,
he controls it. Yeah. Which doesn't, not how it works, but I would expect at least a 51%
if the person wants to have any kind of control over a small business. So anyways, all that
was kind of bullshit anyways. None of it mattered. Yeah, because Eli Crane isn't his main
opponent in the Republican primary, it'll be Walt Blackman, who is kind of the favorite.
He's already a Republican here. He's in the house. Right. And he's pretty popular. But right now,
the Gateway Pundit is kind of doing these, like, hit pieces on Walt Blackman, kind of going after
him a bit. So I think they're helping a little bit, Ron. We have like a local Gateway Pundit
reporter here, and he's, he'll help Ron, I think. Was he there? No, I thought he would be,
because I see him at all the, like,
the Thrive Time event. He covered that. He's at all the, like, a bit more pilled events, you know.
And another recent PR stunt is Ron Watkins' association with the Warrior Healing Center in Sierra Vista, Arizona.
Yeah. He claims to have done an interview for NBC alongside the guy kind of running it, Colonel Tim Kirk.
And actually, I wanted to kind of just dip into the part of the speech where he's talking about this, because it's quite comical because Tony Tiora breaks in, like, totally unprompted.
to, you know, explain that...
Hey, Tony here.
That Ron gave them some money.
Ron, to be clear, gave this center an eighth of what he paid Tony for one month of work.
So here they are.
I learned a lot about the PTSD issue and the suicide issue.
That's actually so somber and so sad.
But we have the great patriots, like Colonel Kirk out there,
or Colonel Kirk out there, who are really doing a fantastic job.
for the veterans.
And when I, I need to interrupt Ron.
Yes, it's by campaign manager.
Hi, Tony Tiro.
Nice to meet you guys.
So, you know, yesterday.
So when we were talking with the colonel Tim Kirk, Ron was so like, you know, like when he was
there, he was just so shook up and he said it's so sad to have all these PTS debts
and suicides.
We haven't raised a lot of money.
We raised all the like more than $30,000.
And he said we take no dirty money, no lobbyist money.
Ron said, let's give these guys like $500 to help him out from the campaign.
So he's giving our campaign money.
Well, I mean, we have to check the rules first, and the rule said it's okay.
Thank you.
Thank you.
One clap.
To be clear, it appears that Tony Tiora believes the D and PTSD stands for deaths because he said PTSD deaths.
So, I mean, I love Tony Tiora because he's, if Ron were to basically troll by associating himself with, you know,
know, maybe the biggest dupus.
I mean, very strong Magoo energy with Tiora.
And I just think it's, I don't know, it's clearly a troll.
Like, the guy is incapable.
He has no experience in any of this.
I know.
There's a very funny moment when he's like handing out the free shirts and hats.
And he's like, take as many as you want.
I mean, you only get one, but he's great.
He is so funny.
He's like, but if you have family members, I guess maybe you can take a second one.
Yeah.
Unclear. Another thing that Ron addressed was the Cyber Symposium. So here he was talking about that.
Now, my understanding is the hammer and scorecard stuff is real. But the data that we got, that we saw at the Cyber Symposium, I believe it was 30-some terabytes. There was just no way to go through and verify all 30 terabytes. It was just impossible. With the amount of time we had in the
in the stuff, the equipment that we had.
But what I did see was there was some data in there related to elections,
and there were PCAPs related to elections.
And I looked at that and I confirmed, yes, these are P caps related to elections.
But I was not able to confirm all 32 terabytes because it's just so much.
And Mike Wendell is a great patriot, and I spoke with him a few days ago.
I believe it was last week.
And he said he was thinking about endorsing the campaign.
I don't know if you will or not, but I'll surely hope he does.
Better endorse that.
Come on, Ron.
And I'll let you know, I took zero funds for that cyber supposing event.
I did not ask for money.
I did not accept any money.
I did that as a volunteer.
And I was on the red team.
And there was a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes.
I helped out as much as I could with that.
And in my opinion, the cyber symposium was a success.
And I hope there's another one.
And if there's a hope they invite me back.
So that's interesting because, you know,
he wants to keep spreading.
and conspiracy theories, the hammer and scorecard one is obviously fake.
We've debunked it in the past on the show.
But, you know, that was broadly considered a disaster.
Unfortunately, Ron still has to play nice with Lindell because Lindel's throwing around a lot of money
and his endorsement would probably help Ron a little bit to be able to at least afford
Tony Tiora's, you know, high prices.
And like I said, his main opponent is Walt Blackburn.
And he just came out and said he doesn't support decertification, which is their new thing.
So, like, they could really kind of go after him on that, you know, to stop the steel crowd.
There was also a moment where a man dressed in a bright print shirt of the American flag with like a giant eagle
asked Ron about the death of one of the people involved in the Arizona Audit, a guy called Aaron Wagner.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And this is interesting because I think it's like a subtle, they're trying to make him into a Seth Rich.
Yeah, there's some backstory on this that's interesting.
Yeah.
So let's listen to what he says first and then you can tell us about that.
Do you have any insight information on Aaron Wagner, who was working on the Arizona audit?
So I was friends with Aaron, Aaron, and sadly he passed away a while back.
My understanding is, someone posted his death certificate.
My understanding is he passed from COVID.
The timing of his COVID death was, I believe it happened two or three days after he submitted these files to the
Arizona, Attorney General, Tarni Bernevich.
So, I mean, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but the timing is...
Suspicious.
Suspicious is the death certificate said COVID-19, so my understanding is he died from COVID.
So it's like he wants it, he definitely wants his cake and to eat it too.
Like, no, no, no, this is definitely suspicious death, but also, like, I, the death certificate
says COVID, so I believe it's that.
Yeah, so Ron posted about this in the past, the death of the death of,
Veren Wagner, who was not actually part of the audit. He was just kind of friends with people who
were like pushing the audit, We the People Alliance, Arizona. Okay. He was kind of involved with
that group. And I think he got COVID in the wave when Cyber Ninjas got COVID. There was the
big, like, the report was delayed because Cyber Ninjas and a bunch of the team got COVID, because
he died shortly after that. And he did die of COVID. He was a pretty hefty guy. He was not vaccinated.
And when that conspiracy first started, when they first started to claim that Bernevich basically killed him,
some of the people that were in the, like, pro-audit side got mad that there was conspiracies starting to be formed about their friend because he was the guy that was active in the, in the audit scene.
So they were the ones, like people in the telegram chats in like those AZ audit telegram chats were the ones that were disputing what Ron was saying and posting his death certificate and saying like it was wrong of him to make conspiracies about their friend.
Wow. That's sad.
Yeah. So Aaron Wagner died of COVID. It says it on his death certificate. It's a fact. His family accepts that he died of COVID.
Like, this is a conspiracy about him.
And they're claiming that Bernovich had him killed, had him bumped off after he presented some evidence about the audit.
Incredible.
Yeah.
Another bullshit claim from Ron is that he cares about native tribes, which compose a segment of the district he's running in.
Yeah.
So here he is answering a woman's question about this.
Are you going to meet with the tribal leaders?
I plan to meet with tribal leaders, yes.
I put some feelers out and I'm trying to meet
right now I'm trying to meet with the Navajo Nation
and we know the president of the Navajo Nation is like a fierce Democrat
he was actually out there you know campaigning for HR1 the Democrat
like steal the federal like federal control of the state elections is terrible
so I have a feeling that he's not going to be talking to me
so I'm going to be talking with the actual like elders of the community
I'm reaching out to the co-talkers out there, and I'm trying to set up a meeting with the
co-talkers out in the Navajo Nations.
I've also put feelers out into the other tribal areas.
And I've not yet met with any leaders out there, but I plan to over the next few months.
So just to be clear, the code talkers that Ron is referencing are a group of Navajo that use
the Navajo language to help the American military keep their messages safe from spying during
World War II. Out of 400 men that participated, the AARP said in August 2021 that only four of them
were still alive. Of those four, two are in Arizona, and they're aged 92 and 101. The former has
received the vaccine publicly and encourages everyone to do so as well, so I doubt he's interested
in Ron's shit. So that leaves us with one person, the 101-year-old John Kinsel, and he lives
in Luca Chukai, Arizona, which is in Arizona's first congressional district,
not where Ron is running in the second.
So this is like one of the stupidest things I've heard in a long time.
So what did you make of his claims?
Because he does have to deal with a certain voting block, right?
Yeah.
So the district that he's running in is, it has a big chunk of the native reservation on there,
the Navajo Nation.
So you have to campaign for them.
Like they're a pretty big voting block in that part of the state of Arizona.
Walt Blackman does the same thing.
He, you know, puts out ads about, like, water rights and stuff.
Stuff they'll never address.
But, yeah, like, that question came from somebody in the audience.
So it's like, it's an issue that people, you know, care about up there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And, you know, what's kind of interesting is that he uses the moment to basically smear the Navajo Nation's leader.
Yeah.
So how are you going to get them on your side starting like that?
Yeah.
And, like, I think they lean pretty blue in the, you know,
the Navajo Nation. And he's like attacking them for supporting voting rights. It's like, yeah,
of course, they support voting rights. Like, it's harder to vote on the reservations. Of course,
they want better access to voting, you know. I mean, it really feels like him just, you know,
using Code Talker is him being like, well, I'm going to be appealing to the good World War II
era Native Americans, of which there is none of them relevant to his district. But it is, it's sad.
Like, it's obviously, you know, the Navajo people in that district deserve better by far than this bullshit.
So there was, like, this really weird point where, like, an older woman, no doubt part of that kind of Trump Tuesday thing.
She asks Ron a question, but she's very quiet.
So here he is repeating it for the crowd.
Her question was, how am I going to resist lobbyist money once I get in the Congress?
And how am I going to resist women once I get in the Congress?
No, no, no, okay, lobbyist money, I have not taken any lobbyist money, I have not met with any lobbyists, I have no plans to meet with lobbyists, I have no plans to take obvious money, so that's not an issue.
About women, I have a daughter, she's four, four and a half, almost five years old, but I am divorced, so I'm single and I'm not out there, I'm not on,
a womanizer, I don't, I don't even have a girlfriend at all. I don't have a girlfriend. I'm just doing
this campaign. He's too busy to have a girl. He's too busy.
He's about 12 hours a day. Yes.
Gross. Yeah, this coming from the guy who plays porn, like, in his car on a TV. I know, not a
womanizer. And, you know, I mean, there's just no comment on that stuff. I know. What's interesting
is that at the same time, there's this bunch of kids that were clearly there on, like, a day trip with some, you know, school
supervisors or something. Yeah, there was just like one dude supervising him, and they were running
all over the place screaming. Absolutely. Drowning him out a bunch of times. Good job, kids. And so they
kind of come over and, you know, the first kid asked like a classic kind of question, like, why would
you run for Congress? Because the guy taking care of them is pointing to Ron and being like,
look, this is like a small town politics. It works. It works, kids. Don't interrupt. Like,
that's a congressional candidate. Doesn't realize he's literally talking about the guy behind Q.
You can hear him say later, like, as I passed by him, like, we did civics to
day, kids. Oh, no. But then once like the second kid who's a bit older is like,
what party are you representing? He's like, oh, I'm Republican. I support Trump. And then all
the kids start just streaming away, like immediately after. Ron asked a young girl if she wants
for a picture and she just stands there frozen and then eventually leaves. It was just so, I don't
know, you spent like two hours at this thing. I mean, what was your feel and was there anything else
you wanted to talk about that happened?
Yeah, it was just like that group of like 30-ish people, like hanging out the whole time,
just listening to what Ron had to say.
They were totally fans.
Like, everybody wanted a photo with Ron.
It was more like a Ron photo op meetup, you know?
And they just had his petition there to sign it.
But it's just like 30 people.
Not that many.
Yeah.
So you think he got about 30 signatures there?
Yeah.
Damn.
Probably walked around the area and got another 10, but nothing impressive.
He needs 2,000, at least, and they need more than that because they check the signatures.
So who knows if he'll even make it on the ballot.
I'm sure they'll do more of these.
Yeah, he mentions kind of sticking around Prescott and doing more of these towards the end there.
Because I saw him at the Trump rally, and, like, him and his different guy in a Code Monkey shirt were, like, telling people to vote for him for Congress, but they didn't have clipboards or anything, so they're not very organized.
Yeah, no, it doesn't seem that way.
Like the Trump rally would have been the best place to do it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And maybe he will.
I don't know if they're, but yeah, especially the Arizona one.
Yeah, it almost feels like he's running as a troll, just because it's another platform to share stuff and grow his telegram.
Yeah, and his FEC filings weren't that impressive.
No, but at least now, like, people in part of the mainstream media that's too lazy to look him up will just be like, former congressional candidate, you know, pro Trump instead of owner of Atecun, possible man behind Q.
Yeah.
is a little less flattering. Because I did notice nobody they're protesting, nobody asking him
questions about Q or QAnon, right? No. It's Prescott Valley, so not too many people will protest
anyway. Pretty MAGA country. I mean, they have Trump Tuesdays.
Yeah, I'm more of a Wings Wednesday guy, but damn. And so it just kind of dissolved after a while,
like what happened? Yeah, so he gave his speech, took the questions, and everybody
he just kind of signed his stuff, took the free hats and shirts, and left. The news team
stuck around and was asking him questions, and so I took off. There we go. Not with a bang, but
with a whimper. Yeah. So, yeah, thanks so much for attending this. Haley, where can people
follow you and check out your work? You can just find me on Twitter at Arizona Right Wing
Watch. That's AZ underscore RWW. I write for left coast now, left coast right watch now, so you should
support them too. Go check it out, folks. So yeah, thanks so much again for speaking to me today,
Haley. Oh, yeah. Thank you for having me. It's just like, it's exhausting to watch. I don't know
what else to say other than that. Yeah, it's just, it's just the sad, like, drippings of a troll
sort of leaking out of the pages of the internet. And it doesn't, it doesn't quite work as well,
like out in the real world you know it's like when the tunes escape from tune town and like they're you know
they're sort of in the 3d world and and they look kind of weird and things go wrong and i i don't know
it's just it's it's unsettling and honestly i'm just kind of bored of ron wotkin's antics
do you think he like has any does he have actual political ambitions or is this just like all
self-promotion do you think it's just about like keeping his name in the kind of headlines so to speak
It could be both.
Yeah, I don't, I mean, it could be, I don't know, I really don't think he has, like, really, you know, core values that he really believes in besides, besides himself.
Yeah.
I think he does, he does have core values, and they are red pill the normies.
Eventually, it's an anti-Semitic red pill for him.
It's very much, you know, we're going to change America, you know, to secure our children's future kind of stuff.
And, yeah, you know, communists, like anti-trans stuff.
communist panic stuff like that's what he wants that's what him and his dad want yeah they want to
take the bullshit that they you know joke about or talk about in the in the you know the halls of
of the eight chan offices and and deliver it on a on a mass scale i mean i could see it also as
sort of like a a trump 2016 thing where he's doing it to kind of raise you know raise his sort
of profile uh without actually really wanting to actually have to do the
job. And I mean, you know, if history is any indicator, that means he'll most likely get
elected. And then we'll have somebody who, A, doesn't want to be there. B, whose moral
accomplice is completely corrupt. And, yeah, C, whose sole purpose is to, you know, radicalize,
you know, radicalize the normies. The better question is why the fuck is Vincent Fusca running for
Congress? That's more mysterious to me than Ron's shitty mind. To continue the legacy of the
Candidies, obviously.
Yes, Travis, I think you're right.
It would be great to have another Kennedy back in Congress.
I love the idea that, like, he is, like, you know, he is JFK Jr., but he hasn't revealed
it.
Like, he's running for Congress on his, like, cover name.
Yeah.
I mean, he's going to his past shop.
He doesn't want to benefit from nepotism.
It's like when Cage changed his last name.
He can't bang his way through, like, D-list GOP circuits once he's officially, you know,
the president.
I mean, that's going to, that's going to be a Bill Clinton.
level scandal. Yeah, I think he, I think he's probably smarter than we, we give him credit for. And he's
realizing that, you know, the sort of JFK Jr. persona doesn't really match too well with a hat
in balloon shop. Or getting blow jobs in a van pasted with Trump decals. And so he, I think, I think maybe
in his head, he's like, well, if I'm actually like in Congress, like then my, the JFK, you know,
the sort of JFK Jr. thing will go a lot further because I'll actually be.
a politician as opposed to just a, you know, a lowly, uh, you know, hat,
hat balloon and cotton candy merchant outside the rallies.
Canadian Convoy Highway to Heaven.
A small minority of Canadian truck drivers have protested new mandates requiring
any trucker crossing the border into America to be vaccinated.
They vowed to truck across Canada to the country's capital, Ottawa,
and protest the federal government directly.
While only 500 or so truckers actually joined the movement as it was making its way across
Canada, their arrival in Ottawa has sparked a fairly large protest in our capital, not about the
cross-country vaccine mandate, but about mandates and lockdowns in general. Now, it's important to note
that a cross-Canada trek to Ottawa is not a particularly new phenomena for protesters. In 1933,
during the Great Depression, workers protesting awful conditions in relief camps in Vancouver, so, you know,
the West Coast, decided to take their labor demands directly to the country's capital. While the group
only made it to Saskatchewan, where they were ambushed by the RCMP who shot at them with live
ammunition.
Holy shit.
The fallout essentially destroyed the conservative government that had facilitated it.
Wow.
So they're like Mad Max stopping convoys already in Canada.
Yeah.
Cool.
I'm imagining like the RCMPs on like long poles, you know, going back and forth like, you know, the Cirque to Solet performers like jumping onto the trucks.
For the queen, witness me.
Yeah, that's the weird combination with RCMP.
because they're literally mounties, right?
Like on horses, which is incredibly comical,
but they're also like a brutal ring of like an oppressive colonial settler state.
They also have a lust for blood.
Yeah, like puts down indigenous protesters and labor strikes.
They have to build like a horse-mounted mech
and then it could like lasso an entire convoy truck
that would then transform, obviously, into a transformer,
and fight it in Ottawa.
As a result of the 1933 movement's success,
at least to a certain respect, there have been many protest movements that fight against decisions
made by the federal government that essentially follow a similar pattern of the onto Ottawa
trek. Yet there are obviously many differences between the so-called freedom convoys
that made it to Ottawa recently, resisting vaccine mandates, and the group of hyper-exploited
laborers in 1933. One of the main differences is that the 1933 group actually had a large
degree of public support for their cause. It turns out that most Canadian truckers do not
even support this niche movement, with about 85% of them, so about the same as the national average,
being already vaccinated before the mandate took effect. This means the mandate would only affect
20 or so thousand people. The Canadian Trucking Alliance, a federal Trucking Association,
issued a statement saying that it's strongly disapproved of the movement, while the Atlantic Trucking
Association did the same. Their statements essentially say, like, do not associate truckers with
whatever's going on right now. Yeah. Very few truckers actually participating in this.
I could see you becoming the host of like a Canadian trucking update show just based on this.
I look, trucking simulator is fun.
I want to know how I can upgrade to the where we go one, we go all skis.
The lack of support extends to the Canadian population more broadly, with 80% of the adult population being fully vaccinated.
Furthermore, according to an Ipsos poll, at least, 80% of Canadian support vaccine mandates for federal public servants.
There was also another poll recently that showed that about 25% of the general population,
specifically supported this movement, although that poll was before they reached Ottawa and the
protest haven't in Ottawa, which is a different story that we'll get to in a second.
Given the lack of public support, the ongoing protest that the freedom convoy sparked in
Ottawa has drawn in a group of people that are not particularly good at optics.
As an example, there was a statue of Terry Fox, who, if you don't know, is a national hero
who ran across Canada to raise funds for cancer research, being desecrated with a mandate freedom
sign being placed in his hand.
Oh, no, I've actually participated in a Terry Fox run with my school.
This is bad, bad truckers.
Anyone who's grown up in Canada has had to, you know, run their school every year.
That's right.
Absolutely.
He's your, um, he's your Forrest Gump.
I heard.
The protesters in Ottawa also supposedly desecrated the National War Memorial and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in a similar manner.
I believe one of them peed on the, the, the,
War Monument, which like, that's a mistake.
Haunted for life.
There is no vengeful spirit like the unknown soldier.
Everybody knows this.
It costs nothing not to pee on the team of the unknown soldier.
I mean, methinks based.
Julian.
If I speak, I am in big trouble.
You hear it here.
We're censoring live by making me say it.
The protest in Ottawa that has been sparked by the Truckers'
arriving in the city, has been going on for a few days now, so from January 29th to
at least February 1st, and according to Ottawa police has about 10,000 people participating
in it. Essentially, everyone I know in Ottawa is genuinely terrified of leaving their homes for
fear of, you know, anti-maskers, you know, white supremacists harassing them. These protesters
have, besides defacing a few statues, done things such as forcing a homeless shelter to give them
food, where they justify it by saying technically they don't have a home in Ottawa. So they are
comas. That was their public justification. Wow. So they realized the importance of social services. Interesting.
Some of them have been donning Nazi and Confederate flags, you know, blocking a large degree of traffic in the city center.
And the police response to these protests has been quite tame, especially when considering the amount of violence that the police use when indigenous protesters blocked a small fraction of the traffic that these anti-vaccine protesters have been doing within Ottawa.
the crackdown was quite brutal.
There was a quote unquote solidarity protest in Alberta that I believe is still ongoing
that is essentially blocking one of the main arteries between Alberta and America.
I didn't include the video because it's not very telling,
but you look at like the cops essentially just like being very friendly with the protesters
where like when indigenous people do that, they're brutally sort of crack down upon.
Yeah, we don't even need to look at the larger protest movement that the Freedom Convo inspired
to find some extremely bad guys.
So it's not as if this movement simply began with, you know,
a few okay truckers who had bad opinions on the vaccine
and expanded into fringe groups.
The initial organization of the convoy of truckers
was quite connected to Wexit
and the Albertan Yellow Vest Copycat Movement.
Here's a clip of Patrick King,
an organizer of the Albertan Yellowvest movement
and an individual who's listed on the Facebook page
for the Freedom Convoy as a crucial organizer for it.
Now, what it is is the part of the depopulation.
and a lot of people don't understand what that means and what there is is there's an end game
it's called depopulation of the Caucasian race or the Anglo-Saxon
and that's what the goal is is to depopulate the Anglo-Saxon race
because they are the ones with the strongest bloodlines
and we'll leave it at that because then we get a whole different topic
But it's a depopulation of race.
Oh, yeah.
That's what they want to do.
I've spoken before about how we have Ahmed Abidimajad or Mahmit.
I can't say their names very well because I don't have the dialect that they do.
But we have Mahmoud Abidimajad who states that no matter what we are going to infiltrate government's education system.
we're going to infiltrate every way possible into the Western world.
What we're going to do is not only infiltrate by flooding with refugees,
we're going to infiltrate the education systems to manipulate it
to endorse this kind of behavior.
This kind of behavior then endorses less procreation.
All right?
So the less procreation,
the less white people are, you know, Anglo-Saxon.
Let's say Anglo-Saxon, because when I say white, all the Antifa guys call up the race card.
So we're going to call ourselves Anglo-Saxon, okay?
Incredible.
This Anglo-Saxon is way better.
All those Antifa guys are like, whoa, Anglo-Saxon, I don't know what that means.
I want to call him racist so badly, but I can't because he said Anglo-Saxon and not white.
Yeah, right.
So true.
Very considerate of him.
And why is he worried about, I mean, you're basically parroting, like, Nazi rhetoric here.
Why are you worried about what Antifa's going to say about you?
Yeah.
I don't know.
He's doing, like, sovereign citizen stuff for racism.
Yes.
Hey, bud, look, I'm in the middle of a race war, but I'm really, I really don't want the Antifa guys coming after me on the internet, you know.
Got to look out for optics there, bud.
also finally a Canadian identifies the true enemy to Canada
the president of Iran
the former president who's not a president for like seven years
when this has been recorded that that is so good he's like
what's the only Arab name I remember from the news
he's just like you know that Mahmoud you know that Mahmoud
hey listen I don't know any of the dialect
Does he think Arabic is like a dialect or Farsi is like a dialect of English?
You know, that accent, you know, that they have over there.
I can't pronounce his name, but I do know he's plotting to make white people less horny.
He doesn't want you to fuck.
He keeps appearing in my dreams and wagging his finger while I'm trying to get it on.
Every time two white people have sex, Akhmedinajad is crying in heaven.
Yeah.
It's important to note also that that was before the pandemic.
So 2019, he was saying that type of thing.
So, you know, this type of rhetoric in these sort of general movements related to Wexit and the Yellow Vest movement, and now the trucker stuff has gotten even worse.
As an example of it getting worse, he was Derek Harrison, a neo-Nazi blogger who is participating in the Ottawa protest, talking about them about a week ago.
Well, I got some special videos for tomorrow night, but yeah, fucking.
Hey, guys, let's get pumped for this.
Let's go to fucking Ottawa.
I want to see one of those truckers.
I wouldn't be surprised.
Not none of our guys, obviously,
but I would like to see our own January 6th event.
See some of those truckers plow right through that 16-foot wall.
None of us, of course.
I'd just like to see it.
There's going to come a point in time where you're going to look back and be like,
you're telling your children, like, were you there on this day?
Yeah, but I was there.
Dude, when he said Nata,
he then took a half-smoked cigarette and relit it.
You cannot invent Canada.
I love it.
Fucking A, guys.
Let's go to the beer hall pudge.
Let's go to jail.
Well, not us, you know, not us, but like, I'd love to watch that shit on TV.
I love that, too, because, like, how stupid you had to be to look at January 6 and be like, that's what we need for our movement?
It's something like that.
Yeah, it's like, you know what, I'm looking around, but, and you know what?
I see a lot of people.
Patriots still free on the streets and not locked up in jail.
It's also important to note that this Derek Harrison guy is not particularly niche,
insofar as Maxine Bernier, the head of the growing anti-vax anti-immigrant far-right party,
has gone in a show a few months ago.
Oh, man.
Those of you who don't know, Bernier is the leader of the People's Party of Canada, or PPC,
which is a very new party, only registering for the 2019 and 2021 elections,
that is growing rapidly in popularity.
In the 2019 election, they gained 294,000 votes, so about 1.6% of the total.
But in 2021, they had 840,000 votes, so up to 4.49%.
While they have not gained a single seat, because that requires like a majority or plurality
in a district, and therefore have no power in government, their rise to prominence is still
quite unprecedented for a party.
Their party platform is explicitly anti-immigrant, anti-LGB, anti-lockdown, and many of the
candidates they ran in the last election explicitly endorsed white supremacist talking points, like the
great replacement and you know believe absurd anti-vax theories such as that 5G causes coronavirus that
the mandates are an attempt to accomplish a great reset and also that if you retain your semen you become
more powerful yeah i love that guy yeah he's powerful he's right about that honestly yeah he's the guy
where semen retention warriors came from in in my vocabulary right that's a powerful phrase it is
you know what you have to do to become powerful enough to make that phrase retain your scene
But tame. Absolutely.
Maxine Bernier openly supports the so-called freedom convoys,
speaking at an event on the 29th of January and criticizing O'Toole,
the real name of the leader of the Conservative Party,
so, you know, official opposition to Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party,
for not showing up to meet with the protesters.
Now, O'Toole and the Conservative Party, more broadly,
have been stuck between a rock and a hard place
in terms of appealing to their rapidly splitting voter base.
The majority of conservative voters being quote-unquote respectable conservatives,
who love civility and abhor the fact that the People's Party of Canada is saying the quiet part out loud.
This group is generally not fond of Trump and uses Trump's rise to power in the South as a reason for why Canada is better than America.
Then there's the increasingly radicalized group who want a Canadian Donald Trump.
These people are tired of liberal governance and critique it in the same way that Trump supporters down south hate Hillary Clinton and al-Biden.
This more radicalized group is entirely plugged into the far-right American media sphere,
repeating the same conspiracy talking points that are analyzed on this podcast by Americans.
You know, Great Reset, 5G Causes COVID, the Liberal Party are pedophiles and Satan worshippers, etc.
This radicalized group is getting larger, pulling in more and more from the quote-unquote respectable conservative group as well as from elsewhere.
A lot of like Green Party hippies are essentially going into People's Party of Canada now.
Wow.
O'Toole realizes that in order to win, he cannot alienate either of these two ostensibly opposed groups,
which explains why O'Toole's statements about the so-called Freedom Convoy.
have been so difficult to pin down.
As I mentioned before, the more radical right-wing PPC leader, Bernier, condemned O'Toole
for initially not wanting to meet with the Freedom Convoy when it got to the capital city
of Ottawa.
On January 24th, O'Toole condemned the Freedom Convoy, saying that vaccinated truckers are essential
for the Canadian economy during a time of crisis.
Boy, several of your MPs have tweeted out support for the convoy.
One of them saying that he felt the Prime Minister had a vendetta against people who
were unvaccinated. Do you support
the convoy, its goals, its objectives, even though the Canadian
Trucking Alliance says this could be disruptive?
And to follow, again, repeat, Louis's question, will you meet with them
when they come to Ottawa? We've been talking to the Canadian Truckers
Alliance, Glenn, for several months. We've seen a crisis
in the supply chain coming for several months, and we've
proposed policies to try and help alleviate that.
The most important of which is vaccines. And we
encourage everyone to get vaccinated and to get boosted.
and how can we use those tools alongside the other tools to make sure that we don't see shortages
on grocery store shelves?
Because here's the reality.
When there's a shortage of products, the costs go up.
And Canadians are already 60% worried about paying their grocery bill.
So we can't have policies that make that even worse, and we can't raise taxes.
So that's what we've been advocating for responsibly the last few months.
Glenn is to try and tackle the supply chain crisis.
Encourage vaccination, not ignore problems and divide the country like Mr. Trudeau does.
You didn't answer my question about whether you did, Glenn.
You didn't say whether you're a critical tool.
You didn't say whether you'd mean with them.
And we need to make sure we keep store shelves full.
Maybe you can answer in response to my next question, sir, you can, you can say whether you mean with them.
That's why last week, Glenn, when the policy of the federal government for less than 24 hours reversed on the situation with trucking,
The government was floating whether they could actually change their policy to address the supply chain shortage, and they decided not to.
I've always said getting vaccination levels up, but also using rapid tests and other tools to make sure products get to store shelves, that's what a government needs to do, and that's what we'll continue to advocate for.
My follow-up question is about the supply chain.
One of your MPs tweeted out a photograph purporting to be empty grocery store shelves in Canada.
Turns out it was actually from the UK several years ago.
When things like that happen, does that undermine your party's credibility on this issue?
Well, we've been talking about shortages for some time.
So has the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.
We've been sent photos from people's stores, and people have been anecdotally saying it.
I've seen a bit of it myself.
Wow, slippery little eel.
Oh, yeah.
The definition of O'Toole responding to stuff is like having to navigate those two support groups
and just like being slippery, basically.
That's tough. I feel bad for him.
Oh, it's an impossible circle to square, which is really funny.
And speaking of him being slippery, a few days later on the 27th,
so that clip was on the 24th, O'Toole released an ad condemning the bilateral vaccine mandate.
Do you know what, vegetables grow really well at minus 30?
None of them.
Canada is a trading nation.
If you own it, a trucker delivered it.
You probably notice some empty shelf.
at your grocery store. That's because Justin Trudeau put in place a mandate that all truckers
entering this country, either Canadian or American, have to be fully vaccinated. If Trudeau's
attack on truckers is allowed to continue, tens of thousands will be unable to work. And more than
that, grocery prices will become even more expensive while fruit and vegetables rot in American
warehouses unable to get to Canada. The produce that will be able to get to Canada will see their
shipping costs skyrocket by 25%. And Canadian families and small businesses will be the ones
ultimately paying Trudeau's bill. Two years ago, truckers were crossing the border between Canada and the
US when no one else was allowed, when no one else would. They're often the unsung heroes of the
essential services. Drivers are still active in moving supplies during a pandemic, but they face
some unique challenges. In the face of a new disease and all the confusion at the start of the pandemic,
It was many of these brave truckers that helped get us through COVID.
There's no way around it.
Fast forward to today and Justin Trudeau is demonizing many of those truckers
and threatening both our economy and our food supply,
all to distract from his inflation crisis and his failures on COVID.
Now there's a convoy of truckers on a cross-country protest
to draw attention to how unfair this mandate is to them.
The freedom to peacefully assemble to protest is a critical part of our democracy.
Truckers want to work.
Justin Trudeau is telling them no.
We're really, really alienating big pockets of our population
with some of these mandates.
And whether it's justified or not,
it's hard to say.
Whenever a policy is being implemented,
I think we have to ask ourselves,
what's the goal here? Like, what are you actually trying to do?
That's probably one of the most important aspects
to question when you're making policy.
And sadly, I think sometimes that's
gets lost. This policy against truckers is an attack on common sense. And it's an attack on every
Canadian household budget. Canadians deserve access to affordable food. Truckers have been our
COVID heroes. Period. Canada doesn't function as a trading nation without them. Fitting Canadians
against one another is un-Canadian, but just watch as Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party
try to demonize these hard-working men and women. But that's how it is in Justin Trudeau's Canada.
You're only a hero if you agree with the Trudeau Liberals.
It's really important that you share this video.
Wow.
A big red thing in the middle that just says,
share this video.
For all of the 90-year-olds on Facebook that are like,
oh, let me click the share button, I guess.
But yeah, this video is obviously absurd for a couple reasons.
You know, the trucker vaccine mandate hadn't taken effect by January 27th.
So, you know, couldn't have affected lack of food supply.
It also does not affect 85% of truckers who are already vaccinated.
But this was O'Toole's attempt at taking the side of the increasingly radical portion of his voter base
who support the truckers while also maintaining that vaccination is itself good.
On the 28th, so a day after this video was released,
he would meet up with some of the truckers in the Freedom Convoy
while supposedly disavowing the more extreme elements of the group.
As we can see, the support for the Freedom Convoy has been relatively minimal within Canada, at least initially.
So why has it become so significant?
It seems like most of the discussion about this wasn't actually related to truckers themselves,
but people who showed up in quote-unquote support for the truckers.
Like most of Canadian politics, it has been entirely affected by what Americans have to say about
it, with the entire right-wing media sphere in America banding together to support the truckers
on their trip to Ottawa, from Laura Ingram on Fox News supporting them, to Joe Rogan saying
Canada isn't revolt, to Elon Musk tweeting, Canadian truckers rule, to even Donald Trump
supporting them in a statement.
The truckers became a part of the American culture war against mandates.
Is this sort of a good example of the internationalist nationalism?
that we're seeing quite commonly among the far right of recent, you know, with anti-Joe Biden
nationalists in America, supporting Canadian truckers resisting a vaccine mandate that affects international
trade. I would argue that the American coverage of this issue made it dramatically larger
than it would have been otherwise, even for those within Canada itself. As most of the radicalized
far-right voting flock, I was talking about before, get most of their news from American far-right
media sources. You can see evidence of this by the fact that Confederate flags were and are being
waived at the Freedom Convoy protests in Ottawa.
Okay.
It's remarkable.
Yeah. You know the antivaxes here in the UK are doing their own copycat
convoy today. I think they said they were going to do it.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, my God.
It's a bit weird, though, because none of them are truckers.
They're just, like, driving their cars.
Right.
They call it the lorry lump.
The lorry lump is coming.
A little note from me, LeVegar, after the fact, I think there's just three
days after we recorded this, O'Toole has been ousted as the Conservative Party leader with a vote
that happened this Wednesday on the 3rd, with 118 members of Parliament voting, 73 of them
voted to replace him. And so he is gone. He submitted his formal resignation and it is effective
immediately. So he fucked up so bad on this one. He basically got couped. So we'll see that the future
of the Conservative Party will probably look closer to Trump's Republican Party in a couple years.
That's pretty much what conservative MPs are basically telling us here is that O'Toole is too much of a pussy and is unable to take a side on these types of issues because of his party splitting, basically just pretending that the split isn't happening and trying to mend any reconcilable difference.
Anyways, back to the recording.
Well, thank you so much, Liv.
I know that your opinion, obviously, of the truckers, is very low right now, but could I present to you an American guy who goes by a Marine rapper that might change your mind with his music?
specifically the song called Freedom Convoy, which I insist on playing because it changed my mind.
So weren't Canadian trips overseas fighting for freedoms? I guess we need a freedom
convoy. It's for my folks in the north. Truckers, Canadians.
This for my folks in the north.
Yeah, freedom convoy.
Some of them paid full cost.
Never can.
Paying back.
I can remember.
We was deployed in the desert.
Canada, U.S. together.
Nobody yellow.
Holding them weapons, Canadians, they were my brother.
They were my brother.
Frontline.
They sick their neck out for U.S.
Truth in whoever.
Don't want anything that's happening in Canada
know that I got you forever.
I mean that I...
Look in the Reaper's eyes.
Gotta survive.
We got to stay our life.
All of us just GIs.
Sign that line.
That for our country sides.
They fought for your life.
Side by side.
Front line.
Come back to divide here to do tell him out of one day lives
All of this programming sucks that's what they call it the vaccine
Tax
That's enough is enough
Government has been so taxing
Freedom convoy with the trucks
Nothing but Canada flag scene
That's not true
I never forget
Still got the popular side of my chest
This for Canadian truth
You left
Fight for your freedom till I lose my breath
Fox and they get in the check
How are you the dog and they're shooting a bed
How are you sick when they boosting and checked
Trudeau is
is the same as Biden and U.S.
That's a beautiful song about international cooperation.
That's right.
I also like how he's just like, oh yeah, Canadian soldiers fought with me.
So therefore I just like, I support anything Canadians do now.
I remember, you know, with my Canadian brethren creating crossfire on a man and his daughter
going to the market.
And yeah, they were eliminated with extreme prejudice.
So these truckers are good, folks.
We did the highway of deaths together?
What bad could they do?
Yeah.
I've been in helicopters with Canadian brethren looking down and dropping shit.
Yeah, look, he was driving through the six with his trucks.
Nice.
My God.
That's so down.
Yeah.
Also, this rap song is a complete rip-off of the designer song, Panda.
You know, the Black X-6, Phenum.
What does it look like a panda?
You know that song, you guys?
It's like basically the same exact flow.
So, man, stop.
ripping off designer.
This is like evil pop smoke.
Maybe you and Liv's podcast is going to be cool.
Now I can see some kind of crossover taste.
Me and Liv's podcast is going to be, it's going to be bigger than Chopo.
It's, it's one, one self-aware millennial of his faults and, uh, and a Jen Zier explaining
why those, why those faults suck.
I mean, who doesn't want to listen to that?
