Starting point is 00:00:01 Temperes are flaring in France. Unruly scenes outside the European Parliament today. Farmers burning tires, spraying government buildings with manure and shutting down roads leading it to Paris. Farmers from across Europe have been throwing eggs and stones at the parliament building. Miles of tractors are blocking lanes or entire sections of motorway as they try to inch closer to the capital. We are seeing the biggest political strikes and labor demonstrations for a very very big of
Starting point is 00:00:30 very long time. Farmers are campaigning against cheap imports, red tape, high production costs, price pressures from retailers and the impact on their sector of climate change policies. We can't earn a living. We're subject to enormous constraints and there are products coming in from outside Europe that compete with us without having to apply the same rules that we're obligated to in order to produce. Why is it that we tell a European farmer that he cannot produce like this, but we allow food products to enter the European market which costs less? The movement is spreading now across Europe to neighboring countries. Brussels to Greece to Portugal, farmers erupting in protests across the continent.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Germany and in France and Holland, Romania, even in Switzerland. Italian farmers have also been joining the Europe-wide protest movement. We are asking the leaders to review their laws. They talk about being greener, but if that happens, then there will be land which isn't worked anymore, and it's difficult enough as it is. These strikes are fueling this narrative. that governments across Europe and the EU don't care enough about the issues surrounding these farmers. We want to show that we still matter.
Starting point is 00:01:38 They must listen to us. We will go on indefinitely until we reach our goals. We've been really reporting on this extensively. I mean, this is attack on the food supply. When you look at the Netherlands, I mean, that is, you know, the garden country, right? They make food. I mean, I think we get tulips still from them. I'm just amazing growers.
Starting point is 00:02:01 And the center of that is MP Robert Ruse, Rob Ruse, who is really been fighting all the craziness. We've talked about him throughout COVID, standing up against the vaccine and making demands in Parliament. Well, he stood before Parliament to talk about this issue of farmers. He's literally fighting for the people. This is what that looks like. Overall in Europa,
Starting point is 00:02:24 come boers in protest. The lineing reshield. In Netherlands is the stickstof in Germany, In Germany, In Germany, Hougar-Ak, are they. But the
Starting point is 00:02:31 reason is overal the same. In Brussels and in our hoststead have regents have the we're also
Starting point is 00:02:40 and that we a great clove on-stain between the greater meerdite and the stedlety
Starting point is 00:02:47 agamical regentercluss. That class that beheered the politics, but bared the boeer not,
Starting point is 00:02:54 while the boeer us food, Every day, regentten classes will our boers let us turn to redwomen, regletion for regletion, to be therein, to be handiards' accords to with the whole world. Fortaum, we're apples out Vietnam influgn, in name of the climate,
Starting point is 00:03:12 naturally. You're the leaders of the European Parliament are in the spigel kirk of looking. The massale boorreprotests are over you. You're here forantworthy for. Stop people to dwing others to live. Stop the boers the work on
Starting point is 00:03:28 to make we have our boeure our boers quite hard need. Foodseekerite is also
Starting point is 00:03:34 a question of national safety. No farmers, no food, no future. Well, it's my honor
Starting point is 00:03:40 and pleasure to be joined by Dutch member of Parliament Rob Bruce now. Rob, first of all, we've been big fans
Starting point is 00:03:48 for some time here in America on the high wires so thank you for taking the time to join us. It's my pleasure. It's very nice
Starting point is 00:03:56 to be Okay. You know, here in America, we are not getting a lot of news about what these farm protests are. We get quick glimpses of tractors surrounding parliament buildings, you know, people throwing eggs. At times, it seems very volatile. What is at the heart, at least for Dutch farmers, and when we think of Holland, we think of probably the greatest farming nation in the world. What is at the heart of the issues that the farmers are having? the things are different in the member states in Europe but the problem is everywhere the same they the global elites they grow up in the in the cities and they want us to change our complete life they want us to stop to eat meat they want to have us electric cars they want us to have heat pumps. Everything we have done so far is wrong and they are changing our lives. It's a kind of social engineering.
Starting point is 00:05:04 And yeah, it's implemented by the Green Deal of French Timmermans. But these farmer protests started in the Netherlands. The Netherlands is after the United States the second largest food producer in the world. The Netherlands is 19 times smaller than Texas. so we are a very small country, but that proves how efficient our farmers are. And it started in the Netherlands because we have a huge agriculture industry. And now it's all over Europe in Poland, in Netherlands, in Greece, in Spain, Italy, France, Belgium. All the farmers are coming in protest.
Starting point is 00:05:45 And that is because of EU law. And this is really the problem, the Green Deal. I know sometime back we were watching the attempt to cut back on nitrogen fertilizers. I know in the Netherlands, they're looking at being next to natural spaces and then farms look like they're being shut down at times to make way for green, I guess, you know, green environmental spaces. And so, and we've seen this pressure in Sri Lanka. We saw how a change in farming just to show.
Starting point is 00:06:19 destroyed a people, even, you know, farmers committing suicide because they're not being given the tools to do the farming that they've done for their entire lives. So, you know, when you talk about the global elites, does this, you know, and, you know, we see the meat eating is going away. But what is so shocking for me is they've turned from meat eating now into vegetables and fruits and things like that, that now it just appears that all natural food is under attack. How do we make sense of that? Yes, you mentioned Sri Lanka, and that's correct, that's the ESG, the environmental social government.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Sri Lanka, they scored 98.1 on the E of ESG, and for example, the United States was at 57%, something like that. So they did a perfect job. They had a tremendous score on the E of ESG. But it was chaos. People didn't have any food anymore. So this is what is going to happen. The president said at that time, I'm going to make my country wealthy, but he turned them into
Starting point is 00:07:37 chaos. And this is now happening everywhere. It's just not Europe. It's also happening in the United States. It's the UN 2030 agenda. people have to change lives and they abuse climate as to create this socialist agenda. It's bigger than that. So how is the pressure? I know in America we're having an issue where we have a lot of corporate influence now in our government. It's one of the big regulatory capture is sort of taking
Starting point is 00:08:10 over our government. So I see how the pressures are coming in there. But in Europe, I don't know how this systems actually work. But how does the WEF and the World Health Organization, how do these organizations have power over nations like yours? What is it, are they using World Bank to bring pressure? Like what pressure? Because it just seems so outside of the reality. It seems like we are watching politicians work against the best interest of their own people, of their own citizens, of their own economies. What type of pressure is being used to make you know, nations go against their own best interests? Yeah, it's, they use fear.
Starting point is 00:08:53 They use fear. If you, it's really shocking to see how they create fear amongst our children with this climate issue. The Greater Turnburg is used to confuse the young people. It's really confusing. These people are really depressed, these young people. And we also saw that with COVID. They also used fear to turn the people in their way they wanted to go them.
Starting point is 00:09:23 And this is, yeah, this is the problem. Even the politicians going to the WAF. And I call that network corruption, you know, because the politicians are going there. They are with the big corporates. They are in politics right now. but they are very busy taking care of their own career, of their own future. And as a politician, you should be humble and you should serve the people.
Starting point is 00:09:53 That is your main task. We have a mandate from the people to make their lives better. But instead, they serve the big corporates, and that's not helping the people. And the European Union was meant to make the economics better. And we did a good job. But what we see now is with this socialist agenda, agenda 2030, they pushed a real socialist agenda. Maybe it's even communist. And, yeah, it's really not helping the people.
Starting point is 00:10:26 And that's what I'm fighting against. Here in America, one of the concerns that's happening is there seems to be a divide created between our education system. Our university systems are really pushing more of a socialist agenda. you brought up Greta Thurnberg, you know, the youth of America starting to celebrate an idea of communism at many times, you know, to the point where some politicians are saying we need to start re-educate, we need to get involved in the educational process to remind people how ugly communism can be. Are you having a similar, you know, tear in your society between the young people in the Netherlands and the older people, you know, are the youth thinking that it's a good idea to show? shutdown farming? I mean, what's happening inside the population of your country right now? Yeah, that's also a globalist agenda. You see that in the United States and you see it also in Europe. Actually, it's a problem of the West. Our children are being indoctrinated, that they should not eat meat, that the climate is the most important thing in the world.
Starting point is 00:11:39 Of course. They're even being told here not to have kids, like don't have children. Like if you want to save the planet, don't have children. But this is exactly what they are doing. They go against family values. They go against natural food. They go against freedom, because if you have to buy an electric car, they are maybe twice if expensive, and people cannot buy that.
Starting point is 00:12:04 So it's not about the car. It's about you cannot go anywhere. go anywhere you depend on public traffic it's it's taking away your freedom it's also digitalization what we see is the digital identity and central bank digital currency it's really a new way a new form of communism about central planning about controlling people if you want to control the people you have to control the CO2 because everything everything we do in life breathing living traveling eating, everything we do in life leads to CO2 emissions.
Starting point is 00:12:40 And if you can control the CO2, you can control the people. And if you then have the digital identity connected to the central bank digital currency, which they say, we will not connect that. No, not in the first year, maybe not in the second year. But after five years, they say, okay, it's now so bad with the climate. We have to create this climate budget, this CO2 budget. And then we have Chinaification. So much of this sort of was really fast track during COVID.
Starting point is 00:13:12 We know the WEF used that opportunity to call it the Great Reset. You have one of my favorite moments in this entire COVID discussion when you finally got to, you know, ask questions with one of the heads of Pfizer. Let's just revisit that very quickly for a moment. Take a look at this. Was the Pfizer COVID vaccine tested on stopping the transmission of the virus. before it entered the market. If not, please say it clearly.
Starting point is 00:13:44 If yes, are you willing to share the data with this committee? And I really want a straight answer. Yes or no, and I'm looking forward to it. Thank you very much. Regarding the question around, did we know about stopping humanisation before it's entered the market? No.
Starting point is 00:14:03 These, you know, we had to really move at the speed of science to really understand what is taking place in the market. And from that point of view, we had to do everything at risk. So in there, you know, you've got one of the heads of Pfizer saying, you know, we were moving at the speed of science. Obviously, that is a terrible answer. To find out that we shut down the world waiting for this vaccine, they basically use guilt on everybody.
Starting point is 00:14:32 If you don't use this product, you're putting everyone else at risk. You know, so we now know that they had never even tested to see if it protected people outside of you, never tested to see if it could stop transmission. Of course, we've seen this vaccine fail. People getting five, six doses are getting COVID two, three, four times. And then, you know, there's the side effects. We're watching excess mortality across the world here in America last year. Just in the first nine months, we had 150,000 people die above these sort of. average rate we saw prior to COVID, which means no COVID, something's killing these people. How big, you know, how much of that conversation is starting to sink in? I'm seeing some testimonies about excess mortality. I'm seeing a few news programs ask the question once in a while. Do you think this is something we still need to stay focused on over in Europe? Because here, I think that it's still a critical issue to get to the bottom of what happened during COVID, because it's how they have sort of taken control of the world in many ways.
Starting point is 00:15:40 Yeah, this is exactly what also is going on right now in Europe. I wrote a big article in the biggest newspaper here in the Netherlands that I missed the reflection on the political decisions because what Janine Small admitted to me during this COVID meeting, Actually, we already knew, we saw Omicron. Everyone who was vaccinated, they were the first ones who were infected again. So for me, it was not a surprise, but it was a surprise that she gave me an honest answer. But the real problem is, the real problem is that our governments knew that this vaccine was not tested to prevent the spread of the virus. and still they were pushing this vaccine to all the people that even to young children, six years and younger,
Starting point is 00:16:42 because you have to protect your grandfather and your grandmother. And this people should be held accountable, including Dr. Fauci. It was horrible. Small businesses collapsed. Young people, they had a problem with education. If you live in a small apartment with three children and you have only one laptop, these children, how can they, we have a huge problem with education at this moment. And it was terrible.
Starting point is 00:17:14 And there was still no reflection on what's going on. And this excess mortality, I'm not a medical doctor. I'm my background. I'm actually an entrepreneur and electrical engineer, but I can read data. I spoke to doctors and they said, if you look at the countries with the lowest rate of taking the vaccine, these countries have also lower extra mortality. So, well, there is something that should really be investigated. And I'm sure this, this administration of Biden will not do it. You've been sort of at the forefront of many of these issues now. You are pushing
Starting point is 00:17:56 back against this global agenda. Are you, are you surrounded with, you? Are you surrounded with, other politicians in the Netherlands that agree with you or are you a bit of a lone wolf? I mean, what is the climate right now? Yeah, well, the politics in Europe is so much different than in the United States. In the United States, you have many people in politics that were already successful, because if you want to run for office, you need quite a lot of money. In Europe, it's different. We have what I call a party
Starting point is 00:18:35 you have to be a member of a party and they have to put you on the list. So it's more about loyalty than it's about quality. And unfortunately in the Netherlands I'm actually the only one. They attacked me for I was an anti-fax, I was
Starting point is 00:18:54 a climate denier. They give me a lot of names but I don't care. I'm actually I'm an entrepreneur. I was a businessman. I was a businessman. I'm still a businessman, but I went into politics to fight for my country and to fight for freedom because I have children and probably grandchildren in the near future. And I want them to grow up as free people. And this is really a problem in Europe. We have in the European Parliament, we have people they have never worked a single day in the private sector. that absolutely not worked for their own risk and their own money.
Starting point is 00:19:32 So, yeah, this is, call me a lone wolf. We are maybe with seven, six, in the European Parliament exists of seven hundred and fifth members of the European Parliament. And maybe, now let's say maybe 10 are fighting for freedom. Wow. It's not much, fortunately. Wow, that's incredible. But you are one of the ones now standing up when we see these giant protest.
Starting point is 00:19:57 You must be getting a lot of support from farmers and people that are waking up. I mean, that's a huge wave of energy to be behind just a very small group of people. Is it giving you a little bit of fortitude and power in the situation? Yes, of course, they attacked me. I'm far right. And I say, well, so far, I'm right. And, no, it's really, I knew I was right. And I really can say that if everyone in the world was like me, the world would really be a better place.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Because I'm not only taking care of the people who are conservatives, I also want to make the liberal people's lives better. I'm fighting for everyone's freedom. But of course, what do I see now is all these farmers coming up. And also, I'm actually I'm an expert in energy. And that's why I went into politics because I predicted all this energy problems that we have in Europe. We cannot do this transition. And also over there, it's becoming very clear that I was right. Now we see nuclear plants growing everywhere.
Starting point is 00:21:14 I was advocating for nuclear energy instead of this crazy winter. and solar panels because we cannot control it. So yes, on every topic, they give me names, but now they have to admit, yeah, we give you names, but actually you had the right point. The energy is such a big thing, the green energy. Here in America, they want to switch to electric cars. I think the goal of the Biden administration
Starting point is 00:21:45 is something like 60% electric cars by 2030. We already have our electrical grid is failing during hot days and cold days. It's hard to imagine what we're going to do if all the cars are trying to power off of that. All of these things, it just seems like the world is being run by children who have a dream of some ideal, but no actual way to deliver it. And in putting us really in harm's way. I think we're facing famine. We're seeing people die during, you know, not having, you know, heating in cold. times and I think even in Europe there is I think in Germany they were having to like open up
Starting point is 00:22:25 churches and libraries so people could stay warm it feels like we're going back into the dark ages when it comes to technology something you know so much about I know you've got to get running and I'm really happy you took the time what is your advice to America I mean I think in many ways our nation you know can lead has the ability to lead and we sort of had this rebellious streak inside of us. I think there's a bigger uprising in many ways happening inside of our population. More than 30% rejected the vaccine here. Only, I think, less than 10% are getting the boosters now. I feel like we're waking up. But if we wake up, what is it we need to do with our understanding? Well, first of all, I hope that the Republicans can be united and
Starting point is 00:23:19 whoever the president candidate will be that they that they all support him because the democrats are yeah we call them liberals but we should stop calling them liberals because they are the anti-liberals and the republicans that is my only hope also here in europe we see a really a big shift in the Netherlands we have gildwilders who won the elections with a landslide in greece in france their Marine-Mepinnes is leading the polls. And also in Italy, in all the European nation states, we see the conservatives are coming up. So there is hope. First of all, we should take back the educational system, teach our children how to read and how to write and stop all this gender policy,
Starting point is 00:24:10 this crazy gender policy. We have only a man and a woman. And for the rest, it's, it's a just imagination then we should also take over the institutions because I think what we did wrong as classic liberals or conservatives we said okay you can have the education you can have the culture let us do the economy but that was a huge mistake culture is very important we see Netflix is changing people's lives and and so take back the education system and take back to culture and also do the economy but we have a lot of work to do do do do protests are helpful. Do you agree, I mean, do you think that farmers surrounding places of,
Starting point is 00:24:52 you know, parliament and here in America is protesting, the right to gather and make your voice known, does that have a value or do you think it undermines the goal? No, no, no, we should speak out. And that's the problem. People are captured in the system. If you speak out, we saw that during COVID. People were canceled. So they, Yeah, and they have to make a living that is really a problem. But if everyone starts speaking out, if we if we Achieve the critical threshold then everyone has the guts to do it but speaking out freedom of speech is so that's why I'm very happy with Elon Musk X and that's he's also under attack here in Europe But I will defend him also we have to speak out. We have to to to fight for freedom and and the more people
Starting point is 00:25:46 are speaking out, it makes it more easier because we see the big farmers protest. They already achieved the first results. The European Commission, they withdraw all kinds of new regulations. So, no, it really makes a difference. And we should say, you went too far already, so stop it right now, and then taking back our freedom. Fantastic. Well, Rob, I really appreciate you taking the time.
Starting point is 00:26:19 I hope you'll keep us informed of all of your progress out there. Our prayers are with you. You really are a hero in this time. I know you're outnumbered out there, but I just want you to know just here on the high wire, millions of people are watching you through our show. We've been showing your great testimonies in front of Parliament. So keep up the work. It truly is important.
Starting point is 00:26:42 I really think the future of this world of our children, species is hanging in the balance and it's people like you that are really making a difference so it's really an honor to have this opportunity to spend with you today thank you for taking the time it was my pleasure and within two weeks i come to the u.s i will speak also at at sepac so it's always a pleasure to be in the united states all right well we'll see you there take care thank you so much bye bye
