The Eric Metaxas Show - Leon Fontaine

Episode Date: February 10, 2022

Leon Fontaine, pastor of one of the largest churches in Canada, gives us the lowdown on the convoy that's driving the Canadian government totally bonkers.

Folks, welcome to the Eric Metaxus show, sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals. There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit legacy p.m. Investments.com. That's LegacyPMinvestments.com. Eric Metaxis show with your host, Eric Metaxis. Hey there, folks. Welcome to the Eric Metaxe show. For today, I'll be playing the role of Eric Metaxis. And I have a guest who will be playing the role of himself. Leon, Fontaine is a senior pastor of a church in Canada. Now, if you're in America, if you're in the United States, Canada is just up above where we are. And most people today, as soon as I mentioned

Canada, you think of the first thing you should think of, the truckers, what is happening in Canada. The reason I have Leon Fontaine as my guest today is because I want to talk to him about that issue. Leon Fontaine, welcome to the program. It's good to be here. There's so much, if you don't mind, for people who know nothing about the situation with the truckers in Canada,

give us an overview of what is happening. Well, Canada, for those who don't know, is more socialistic than America. And it's been going that way for a lot of years. And so when all of this begin to come down, and we can talk about all the rest of it, but the truckers were keeping everything going.

I mean, back and forth between America, Canada, food, for the last two years, they've been just left alone to keep our supplies running. And as we tend to, we sense we're winding down anyway, they decided that truckers had to be

vaccinated to cross the border. Apparently the report says that our PM wanted that. and then apparently encourage the Americans to do the same things. And your PM, you mean obviously your Prime Minister Trudeau. I always get him confused with Gavin Newsom. Okay, so this is, most people listening know this is kind of silly, the idea that truckers would need to be vaccinated.

When was this law laid down by the Canadian Prime Minister and his government? Well, I don't have the exact date, but it would just be in the last few weeks. They tend to threaten and talk about stuff trying to get everyone vaccinated. But the truckers had had enough. They just felt like if we, for two years, have been running without needing a vaccination passport. So the ones who aren't vaccinated coming back into Canada have to spend 14 days isolated. Well, you can just about, you know, they're all going to go bankrupt. truckers who, because they've been going back and forth for two years, no problems, and all of a sudden,

we're going to do mandates. We're going to make them do this. So a ton of them are vaccinated, and they just had enough, and they supported their brothers and sisters who weren't vaccinated and said it's not about the vaccination. It's about the mandate. It's about forcing us to. And the idea of the convoy began. Well, and so what is the convoy? They're driving from where to where. give us the, because, you know, we all, most Americans of a certain age, are familiar with the concept of a convoy. We all have our CB radios. And we don't really know was the convoy going from someplace to someplace else?

Is it just a general term for truckers converging on Winnipeg? What exactly is this convoy that we're talking about? So a group got together and told everyone, let's meet in Ottawa, Parliament Hill. and let's meet there on this date. And so they began in British Columbia, which is way over our west coast. Truckers begin to gather, and they begin to get on the highway, and they headed for Ottawa. And then each city, any of the trucks that wanted to join them could join them. This started out from the east as well in the Maritimes and in, you know, and they begin to come from there.

We had American truckers who wanted to be a part of it, and they started coming from across the border. And then people in vehicles began to join them. When they first started this convoy, the group that runs it all said they had 50,000 trucks sign up for this. And let's face it, what is this? This is a show of support. This is a show of defiance. I think this is a sign of health in Canada. When I heard about this, I said to myself, this is beautiful.

Because, you know, most of us in the United States think that countries that have gone more socialist than we already have here, that the people have laid down, they don't care, they go along with it. So to see this happening, I think people around the world, but especially people in the United States, we are cheering. because this is an issue of freedom. This is an issue of freedom. It's not an issue of medicine. It's an issue of freedom. And I think the idea that the working class standing up this way,

they are the backbone of every country, but so many people are cheering, so many people are excited. So where are things now? I mean, I know you and I are talking today. This will air probably in a couple of days. But what is happening? I mean, once they get to Ottawa, once they get to Trudeau's residence or wherever they're parking, what happens now? They camp out and continue just to, you know, are they building like an autonomous zone?

What are they doing? Well, they arrived there eight or nine days ago, ten days ago. and as many trucks as could got close to the Parliament Hill. And the police were trying to shut them down and they were getting around. And then they managed to shut how many trucks got into the Parliament Hill area. And so groups of trucks began to gather in separate spots all over the city. And so that's been going on. So as of just lately.

So day after day after day, we put a team on. the ground because I know I'm a pastor, but I wear a few hats. One of them is we have the Miracle Channel and the Corco Channel, which are two channels here in Canada. And so we do news on one of them. And I do a show called Return to Reason, which is kind of interpreting the news, taking a look at it. And so we put a team on the ground because we're finding with our mainstream media that $600, over $600 million two years ago, the federal government gave to these mainstream media channels. And since then, whatever the government wants seems to be all that they do. So as we tried to get information about this, everything is being censored like

you wouldn't believe. Brilliant scientists and doctors and people who would disagree, even if they were the top of their field in the world, gone out, and nothing goes on mainstream media. And so we put a team there. They've been watching it every day. It is so amazing. This convoy, now that they're there, is shoveling sidewalks. They are helping each other out. And then things began to happen that were kind of weird.

Like all of a sudden Nazi symbols would show up. And we couldn't find it. But then the mainstream media, we'd have a photo off with that and say, this is a bunch of terrorists. They are maligning this convoy like you wouldn't believe. So our team, I would go live on Facebook and, Instagram every day, and we would walk them through all the trucks and all the people so that everybody around the world could see on these lives exactly what was going on. So they would say,

well, someone hurt the Terry Fox statue, which is one of our statues. And none of us would do it. So someone was trying to smear this conglow. I mean, this is what they call a false flag operation or whatever. You have people that are infiltrating. Look, this happened on January 6th. It is as insidious as it gets. It is. You don't like some people. I mean, look, evil people around the world have been pulling this kind of thing. The Nazis, I just wrote about that era.

So I happened to know they did this all the time. When they attacked Poland, many people know the story. When they attacked Poland, they pretended that Poland had attacked them first, and they murdered someone to produce a corpse. In other words, lying is not. Nothing. Lying is just the beginning of a level of deception and malevolence to crush freedom. That's what we're talking about. The idea it's been happening in the United States, of course, but the idea that it's happening in Canada is horrifying. And yet I really do believe that the

cultural elites, who are the enemies of freedom, have gone too far. And when you've woken up the truckers, folks, you're in trouble. Your days are numbered. We're going to be right back talking to Pastor Leon Fontaine. Don't go away. Hey, folks, I've got to tell you a secret about relief factor that the father, son, owners, Pete and Seth Talbot have never made a big deal about, but I think it is a big deal. I really do. They sell the three-week quick start pack for just 1995 to anyone struggling from pain like neck, shoulder, back, hip, or knee pain, 1995, about a dollar a day.

But what they haven't broadcasted much is that every time they sell a three-week quick start, they lose money. In fact, they don't even break even until about four to five months after. ordering it. Friends, that's huge. People don't keep ordering Relief Factor month after month if it doesn't work. So yes, Pete and Seth are literally on a mission to help as many people as possible deal with their pain. They really do put their money where their mouths are. So if you're in pain from exercise or even just getting older, order the three-week quick start for 1995. Let's see if we can get you at a pain too. Go to Relieffactor.com. Relieffactor.com or call 800-500-584. Relieffactor.com.

I use it. It works. Hey, folks, if you could make money off of abortion or pornography, would you do it? I hope the answer is no. But I want to tell you, Robert Netsley, the founder of InspireInsight.com, he was the president of his local pro-life pregnancy center when he discovered that he owned investments in three companies manufacturing abortion drugs. Well, God helped him to see that he was making money from abortion, pornography, LGBT activism, and the list goes on.

and that's why he created Inspireinsight.com. Inspireinsight.com gives you instant access to biblical values data on over 23,000 stocks, mutual funds, and ETFs, so you can invest to the glory of God.

Hey, folks, welcome back to the Air from Taxis Show. I am talking to a pastor in Canada, Pastor Leon Fontaine, senior pastor of Springs Church. Sorry, Springs Church.

It's one of the largest churches in all of Canada. He's also the host of Return to Reason. He's on the Miracle Channel on TBN, and he is giving us the news of what is happening in Canada and the truckers convoy, which I guess technically then is no longer a convoy. If they have settled in Ottawa near Parliament Hill, it's no longer a convoy. They're still coming. There's more trucks coming. But they are still coming.

It's still a convoy. The convoy is still on. Okay. Trying to get in, coming in, and it just doesn't seem to stop. Now, Leon, I just have to ask you, you know, the end game, right? When I heard about this, as I said earlier, I'm cheering. most freedom-loving people around the world are cheering, just like we cheered Lech Walesa in the shipyards in Poland,

just as we cheer Solzhenitsyn. Whenever anybody stands against tyranny, most people cheer. But the question, of course, is where does it go from here? What do you think, I mean, listen, we know that Trudeau and company have egg on their faces. This is a political nightmare for them, which they deserve. But what do you think, other than doing what they've been doing, which is evil, trying to smear these good truckers as whatever term they can use, whether Nazis or white supremacists? I mean, it's so preposterous.

But other than that, what do you think their endgame is what do you think is going on in the mind of Justin Trudeau and his cabinet? Yeah, that's an interesting question. I think when I look at this and I recognize that anyone that tried to stand up in Canada, we're talking doctors, lawyers, anyone that would stand up and have a great argument against what was going on was very quickly vilified, removed from their jobs, fired. They were removed from social media. You became a nobody really fast. and so a lot of our professionals really hesitate before stepping up and saying anything.

By the way, do you know the Aramaic word for that? It's cowardice. It's called cowardice. Please go ahead. You can look it up in your Strong's concordance, cowardice. Well, this is exactly what happens around the world. It's been happening in the United States for the last number of years. It's happening there. So how do you break this logjam, so to speak? I mean, if these truckers are there, I don't see them going home quickly.

Well, no, it's not going to go home quickly. Like, when you take a look at some of the things that the government has said, I mean, and what they've got in their playbook, it looks as though they have money set aside to continue these mandates and lockdowns for three years is some of the reports that are coming out. And we don't know past that. And so when this took place and they decided to go, a lot of going, well, what's the big deal? We're going to park trucks around there.

But they have caused some real problems. And we can talk about the police presence because that changed last night. But it took the eyes of the world and it put it on Canada. And so every decision this government makes is going to be looked at by experts around the world. And programs like yours and others. that are following this has made Canada. And I was talking with people in Costa Rica the other day in a television station.

And their comment was, we are behind where you guys, we don't have QR codes yet. They're coming. They're saying they're trying to mandate vaccinations and this. And so we're kind of easy going. It's not that big a deal until we saw the Canadians stand up. And we thought when the Canadians are upset,

there's something really wrong. And so in the Latino countries, which is where they predominantly are, she's saying there is a real, whoa, and everyone's eyes are on here. So even if they were to go home today and they're not, I mean, a Semican idle with their own gas for five weeks. Actually, I just missed that. Say that again? Last night, the police started confiscating the fuel. They had fuel. They were going and filling up trucks. Right. But one of the truckers told us that his truck and his tank,

He can idle for five weeks to keep it warm because it's freezing in the world. Wow. Wow. And spring is coming, Justin Trudeau. Spring is coming. But let me ask you, it's not much of a leap to think back a few years to Tiananmen Square. The whole world was looking at Tenement Square, hoping that freedom would not just have a voice, but that it would catch hold.

But we know that eventually the communist monsters brutally cracked down in Tiananmen Square. We see this around the world. There's a moment of hope. If you have a president like Donald Trump, I think he does the sorts of things to encourage people. If you have somebody in the White House like Joe Biden, you know that Joe Biden is not going to say. We stand with the truckers.

He may as well. be, you know, living with Justin Trudeau. It's, that to me is the difficulty is that you kind of wonder when and how will the crackdown come. So you're saying it's already happening that they're confiscating the, and I want to talk to you about the give-s-send-go nightmare also, but that tremendously wicked things are happening. So there's a lot of hope, but the question is, will the other side, Will they find a way to crush this? Yeah, I mean, at some point, like a lot of people are telling me that they will create,

because there isn't any kind of a hard confrontation. I mean, these trucks are parked peacefully. They allow lanes to go past them for emergency vehicles. They are literally shoveling the streets. They are so kind. They're supporting. if someone would go break a window on a coffee shop, they told us, in one of our reporters, they had 80 people asked them if they could pay for the window.

And then truckers started going there and tipping their people incredible amounts of money when they bought their coffee. This convoy, this freedom convoy, is doing things so that they can't, you know, seemingly, everyone can just see how loving they are. But last night, all of a sudden, a ton of police cars, policemen, riot gear, reports, are saying they've got snipers, reports are saying, you know, that, and they began, they made, they made it illegal. They will, they, the chief of police in Ottawa said, we will arrest and charge you for anybody that is going to supply this, these trucks and these people that are in Parliament

Hill. And so they begin to go in after midnight and begin to take gas. And I think they took two to three hundred gallons of gas. They confiscated and truckers, they didn't fight with them. they were just hollering at them. And apparently by the next day, 2,000 more gallons were already in. And so where is it going to go? I don't know. But how this government handles this is being watched by the world. And I think that's the power. And I want to say real quickly that mainstream media, I mean, there is a percentage of Canada that watches them, a great percentage, but they're beginning to wake up and realize that we're missing a narrative somewhere because they pounded us with fear, pounded us with fear, and then left off, you know, censored off

anything else. And it was just lockdown so that when the premiers of our provinces and that, you know, they begin, they're the ones who have to decide what to do in each province, which is like your states, they were able to get all the businesses to enforce masks and lockdowns and stuff so that they didn't have to. And people, of course, with all this fear coming at them, with mainstream media. They just rose up and thought, we're the heroes. We're going to make everyone wear a mask. You can't walk into our store. You can't come to work. And then people begin to lose their jobs all across the country. So the manipulation and what goes on through mainstream media is brutal. So everybody's waking up. Well, I was just going to say, I don't want to neglect to say

it. I'm a man of faith. You're not just a man of faith, but a pastor. We know that God watches these things and that our primary appeal needs to be to him. But if all you do is pray, if you don't act in courageous ways, you can become a tool of the devil. And we've seen that throughout history. We saw it in Germany under the Nazis. The church said, well, we don't want to take this on. We don't want to be perceived negatively. So we'll just lie down. So it's exciting to me that you're talking about this, and it's exciting to me that these truckers have chosen to take this stand. It really is, it's exciting. And I want to say, before we go to the next break, that I hope people listening to this program

will pray for these truckers and pray for the situation. We don't want it to end horribly. Sometimes standoffs end horribly. And that's happened in the United States a number of times. young people were killed at Kent State. These things can end horribly. And so I ask people please to pray and to pray that this would end well.

We'll be right back. We're talking with Leon Fontaine. It's the Eric Mataxis show. Don't go away. Jimmy Holland Hogs. We is heading for bear on I-10, about a mile out of shaky town. I says, pig pen, this here's a rubber duck,

and I'm about to put the hammer down. Hey friends, last year your dollar lost a ton of value. Inflation rose by almost 7% in just one month toward the end of the year. That means in 30 days your dollar became 93 cents. Inflation is a silent killer. It's a hidden tax felt by everyone, and this administration is only making it worse. Inflation isn't slowing down.

It's escalating quickly. Gold provides a hedge against inflation and can protect your family's wealth. Legacy Precious Metals is the company I trust for investing in gold and silver.

I'm talking to Leon Fontaine in Canada, our friends to the north about the situation with the truckers who have gathered in our Ottawa, the capital of Canada.

And I just want to ask you, Pastor Leon Fontaine, you know, right now, we don't know where this is going to go. So our prayers matter. I think of situations in the past in my country, in this country, whether it's Ruby Ridge or in Waco. Sometimes the situations are questionable, but the government, acts in a way that is tremendously heavy-handed, and it leads to grotesque tragedy. And we know that what the communists did in Tenement Square, the crackdown. What I'm hearing from you, what is really horrifying to me, I guess, is that it's not just the government, but it's the mainstream media in Canada that's complying with the government

against freedom, against the will of the Canadian people. What happened with the GoFundMe page? Can you talk about that? Because I actually couldn't believe it when I read it, that GoFundMe did what they did. Yeah, I'm not the lawyers involved, but when we talked with them, they had raised close to $10 million, if not more,

and it was to look after the truckers, et cetera. And someone says it was the way the chief of police in Ottawa described them. But mainstream media continues to describe them as occupying and hurting businesses, making children afraid. Political people are saying that this is terrorism. And so they use some of this, from what I can understand. and said that they were not releasing the money. And so they went ahead with another group,

and they've already, I think, in the first couple of days, raised past $4 million. And apparently after a bunch of stuff, GoFund me, someone said they were going to give someone else the money, but they're going to give all the money back, and people then are going to just turn around and give it to another company that's going to help. Well, look, this is nothing but theft,

and I just want to be clear that this is what we're, up against. We're up against people that are, they're willing to lie. They're willing to demonize group. It never goes well when governments try to demonize groups of people. We know that that's out of the pit of hell. It is absolutely evil. And it's effective. If you start demonizing the Jews, eventually you can treat them like the vermin that you say that they are. And people will go along with it. It's horrifying. But we're not. We've seen it in history. The idea that Justin Trudeau would be demonizing good people, hardworking people.

If you're driving a truck for a living, I would go with what you think any day before I would side with the pretty boy who's never worked an actual day in his life named Justin Trudeau. And I think people see this. And it's one of the reasons I wanted to have you on this program is because people need to know we're not going to stop talking about this. we're not going to take our eyes off the ball. And when you steal people's gas canisters, when give, I'm sorry, what's the name of the GoFundMe? When they act as though they can do what they want with this money, it's scandalous, it's against economic freedom,

much less freedom in a deeper sense. I think Give Send Go is the platform that, you know, people of faith are increasingly, using, I have a page on give, send, go. But we're having to behave differently. We're having to say, I'm going to think twice before I do business with that company because they've shown their true colors. They've shown that they don't care about freedom.

And let's talk about religious liberty. I mean, this is not a religious movement, but it has the feel of one. It's very interesting to me. When you have big state government, it acts in a secular way. I don't know how many of these truckers or people of faith, but it just, it really feels like something more than just a war over vaccines. Yeah, you know, here in Canada, and you'd appreciate this after writing the book that you did, the church seems to be afraid to speak up.

In fact, they've had, they have signed, you know, multiple, things against me saying, you know, just obey the word of God and submit. And so there's not too many people that will just take even the programs I'm doing in return to reason about citizenship and censorship and saying, we need to speak up as citizens, we need to speak up. And but there's this, there is quite a movement amongst the churches that says, listen, we are to submit to the authorities that be, and they're not thinking this thing through. Right. And it's never turned out good when the church has been quiet in history.

Well, listen, obedience to authorities that have no business being an authority is obedience to tyrants, and you become really passively an enemy of God. God wants us to speak the truth. We know that many Christians in the first centuries were counseled just a little pinch of incense to Caesar, and you can get on with your life, what's the big deal? Rather than do that, they went to their deaths. Why? Why? Would the leaders, would the Canadian pastors counseling? Did they forget about that episode in history?

We have the same thing going on in the United States today. You have to have discernment to understand how to behave, and a lot of them are not getting it. We'll be right back, folks. We're talking to Leon Fontaine. senior pastor of Springs Church in Canada. I said, calling all trucks, says here's the duck. We about to go a hunting fair.

Hey folks, if you listen to this program, of course, you've heard me talk at infinitum about my pillow and my friend Mike Lindell. Well, Mike has just announced that you will receive one of his books, and the book is next level insane. It is called What Are the Odds from Crack Addict to CEO? It's his story.

Folks, we're talking to Leon Fontaine, who's a pastor in Canada. We're talking about the situation with the truckers who have converged and continue to converge on Ottawa, their nation's capital, to protest the vaccine mandates.

Leon, we're seeing very similar dynamics in the United States. Most megachurch pastors, most pastors in the United States, somehow they have the deeply mistaken, fatally mistaken impression that they can sit this one out, that they can kind of not take sides or that they can side with the government and go along with the language, the nonsense, the idea that this is about safety. This is about, we know that it's not. We have to say that it's not. It sounds to me like you have a similar dynamic in Canada where a handful of pastors like you are discerning what is happening

and you're sticking your necks out as you are by coming on this program and talking about it on your own program. Yeah, you know, there's, for every mile of truth, there's two miles a ditch. So, you know, we've got pastors that are really, on a side I probably wouldn't go because we've got a democracy. There's lots of ways for us to have our voice be heard. And what's interesting also is that this seems to have spawned convoys all over the world. We're getting calls from countries over the world that are doing convoys towards their capital.

And people are just contacting us from around the world saying, you've given us such hope. And mainstream media for us seems to have been saying, everybody's for this, everybody's for this. And so everybody is just kind of just, oh, really, I guess, you know, they're sharing stats that it's like, man, past 90%. This is what everybody wants. And that's called lying. That's called lying. We might as well go back to the Soviet Union under Stalin.

I mean, they have the power to lie. They have the power to control the media. It really is evil. But I think when you're dealing with good people, as most of the people of Canada are good people, most Americans are decent, good people, it's hard for them to see the horror. They don't want to see that they are being manipulated

and lied to because frankly it's very depressing to when you understand that people whom you have given power are abusing their power. Yes, that is very true. You know, here in, we have another, it's kind of cool to watch. One of our borders where the Americans are trying to come across

and it was Coots, and they're blocking off. They got farmers and farm tractors and semi-trailers and the other day, 100 cowboys on horseback. And the videos are out there all came in, in there to support them. And I mean, singers coming in by helicopter to do a concert and bring them food. This is far beyond just truckers. We are seeing more lawyers stepping up on social media. We're seeing more doctors speaking up. Premiers now in Canada. And, you know, you can say, well, this convoy has nothing to do with that. I don't agree. But premiers are loosening

up and saying, now we're going to stop the mandates. One province is saying that. Another one is saying soon by the end of the month, we're stopping all the mandates. When you walk into stores, if you did not have a mask on, you didn't use their squirt jar of a cleanser for your hands, you were forbidden to walk in. They're loosening up. Like everywhere we go, we're seeing things loosen up. And I think people are waking up. And it's like both sides are tired, even the ones who are afraid and going, we're not being

strict enough because people are petrified. Now, in our families, there's a divide. time was awful. Almost every family could not get together with their extended family because of the incredible fear on one side. And the others said, no, I'm not putting that. One side is saying, everybody should

be taking it and you should do this in love for your neighbor. And then the other side is saying, I'm not putting anything into my body. The government is forcing me to. And by the way, there's no track record, there's no proof. No one is standing behind these vaccines. Well, look, this is the point is that

the mainstream media and the medical establishment and the governments, they've basically destroyed their credibility completely. If you've been paying any attention, you could have been an agnostic on all of these issues, but if you've been paying attention from the beginning, you've noticed discrepancies, you've said, wait a second, that doesn't make sense.

Are they going to correct themselves? No, they're just going to go in a different direction and never make reference to the fact that what they said three months ago, now the opposite is true. People, average people, good people, symbolized, represented by these truckers, have noticed these things. And they've said, listen, when my health is at stake, when my making a living is at stake, when my family is at stake, I will no longer trust the people who have lied. All of the information, the negative information about these vaccines, has been suppressed. And I think to myself, well, you know, if, if you hadn't done that, you wouldn't be in this situation. But people have noticed that anytime somebody comes out with something, you demonize the people. You call them names.

You wipe them off of YouTube. Whatever it is you can do, it looks like you're afraid of the truth. It doesn't look like you're on the side of the truth. And so the fact that these truckers have been standing up, Americans and people around the world are cheering and cheering and cheering. We do need to pray. I want to say it again. you're a pastor, we know that God allows evil to happen sometimes in history. We know that although Martin Luther was cheered and cheered and cheered and survived a hundred years before him, Jan Hus was killed.

So there are no guarantees that the truth wins in the short term, which is why I hope that the people who are listening to this will pray because we could have an extraordinary breakthrough and we could have freedom breaking out all around the world, but we don't want to have false hope. Now, you know, a very interesting thing

that I respect and appreciate about America is that you champion individual rights and you will say that the best thing a group of people can have is individual rights. But in Canada, our laws are, all

over democracies and in other countries, they champion the cause of group rights. And if the group feels, a majority of the group feel this needs to be done, then the individual rights of the people who don't agree are trodden on. And so it's not that what they're doing is legal. It's just, it's very interesting to me how that when, if you can get the country on side with something evil like taking away freedom. Taking away freedom of speech, taking away the right to speak up, censoring anything that would help you to know what to do with your children and yourself. There is so much evil behind somewhere here, and yes, everybody needs to pray. We're out of time. Leon Fontaine, senior pastor of Springs Church, host of Return to Reason.

God bless you, sir. Thank you. Thanks so much, Eric. friends of Jesus in a shartruce Microbus. Ducked this up, Buster, come on there, you have 10. But it didn't have a doggone dime. I says, pick pen, this here's a rubber duck.

We just ain't it going to pay no toll. So we crashed the gate doing 98. I says, let them truckers roll 10.4. Hey, folks, welcome back. We have been talking to Leon Fontaine about the truckers in Canada. Now, Alvin, we have to say this. Yeah.

There is a popular uprising happening around the world. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a good thing. But the media who are basically globalist, I always try to think of the nice word for whores, but I can't. They are globalist shills.

They do not report. In other words, they don't, either they don't get what is happening or they are totally opposed to it. And they will say anything, including, And it just breaks my heart, but including lying. Now, I know there are a lot of people listening.

They go like, yeah, yeah, what's new, Eric? I want to tell you, I grew up in a world where that normally would not fly. To have the media utterly refuse to even figure out what is going on and to present a narrative. So that's what they're doing. It is really ugly. And I want us to preserve a sense of horror at it. Don't think like, well, that's the new normal. That's the way it is.

You should never get that. That's called cynicism. And I want to really be clear that these truckers and there are going to be many American truckers who are, there's going to be a convoy going to D.C. soon. This is a popular uprising. And it reminds me inescapably of when Luther became a voice for the people. Okay. This is not anti-Catholic.

This is just a popular. movement. People said, here's a guy expressing what we feel. We're going to cheer him. And they lined the roads as he made his way to Worms, Germany, for the diet of Worms. They thought he is going to speak truth to power. He's going to the center of power. It wasn't Ottawa. It wasn't D.C. In those days, for this particular season, it was Worms, Germany, where the imperial diet, once a year they would gather, the nobles, the leaders. And the people cheered him, and they didn't know, would he succeed, would he be killed? There was a good chance he would be killed. Savonarola was killed. So many were killed who tried to bring reform. And whether you're talking about religious reform or political

reform, at the end of the day, folks, it's the same thing. It's truth versus lies. It's good versus evil. And the truckers that Leon Fontaine has been talking about, we know that most of them express what many of us are feeling. Yeah. And I want to say, we supported the truckers today when you came in, I came in right

behind you, and we made our own convoy. It was a crazy convoy. It was so crazy. It was two taxi cabs. Beautiful. Join us, folks. You know, we put the pedal to the metal, we laid the hammer down. We saw some smokies. It was awesome.

Okay, so we do have to say that in our two today, we're talking to our buddy, Kevin McCullough. Now, on this program, he's not known as Kevin McCullough. He's not KMC Radio. On this program, Chris Himes dubbed him Votesradamus. Votesradamus knows all, tells all. He speaks in medieval French quatrains about our political landscape. It's very frightening. It's eerie.

Smoke appears behind him when he begins to make. his pronouncements. He's like the Delphic Oracle, the fumes, the giddy fumes. Okay, so we've got Kevin McCulloch coming up really soon. Stay tuned. And we want to remind people, yesterday we had on Mike Lindell,

who gave us an update. And again, you talk about the mainstream media not covering this. It is just despicable. It's sick. I want people to be outraged to say, in America, journalists should be journalists. They shouldn't be shills for whatever idea they're told

they're supposed to believe. So Mike Lindell yesterday talked about what is happening in Arizona. It's happening in Wisconsin. Things are still happening, but you never hear anything about it. So you think, oh, it's not happening. It is happening. So stay strong. Keep praying.

Yes, and use the code Eric when you go to my store. And when you go to my store.com, my pillow. com, neutrametics.com. Use the code Eric, because we need your help. God bless you. We'll be right back.
