Iraq War Veteran Garret Reppenhagen
Trying to be heard above the torrent of propaganda and outright lies - a young active duty airman douses himself in gasoline, and while he burns to death in front the Israeli embassy in Washington DC - shouts "free Palestine" until he is overcome. Aaron Bushnell was committing an act of conscience widely hailed as noble in past conflicts — but he is being smeared by supporters of Israel and American foreign policy. Trish interviews an Iraq War veteran about the importance of respecting this kind of statement from service members. Also - Trish eviscerates the so-called Online Harms Bill that has shocked observers far and wide.

Shaun Rickard & Karl Harrison: Looking Back at the Emergencies Act
This is a sad week as we remember the invocation of the Emergencies Act. Trish looks back on some of the Prime Minister’s controversial statements that divided the country and brought about a crisis. Special guests are Karl Harrison and Shaun Rickard — two brave men who fought the travel mandates in one of the most interesting stories to come out of Covidian times. Their suit exposed that travel mandates weren’t based on science, and that if motivated we can all fight back. Watch for the VIDEO episode on Substack.

Smartphones are the Weapon: Simon Elmer
Many people are addicted to their cellphones. It is a digital hypodermic needle of dopamine that keeps us tethered to it — ignoring our families, friends and neighbors as we walk, outsourcing our sense of direction and memory to this little hard-drive that has taken over for much of our daily cognition. We are losing our ability to reason and think, and so we are being controlled. Simon Elmer is a brilliant essayist and researcher, and he thinks this was the plan all along. Pus Coutts 4 is now Coutts 2, Tucker in Russia, and Trish’s new musical obsession. Watch for the VIDEO episode on Substack.

Now it's the 'Coutts Two' - Mocha Bezirgan
Now out of custody for the first time in two years, Jerry Morin and Chris Lysak have gone home. They’ve both agreed to a plea deal involving gun crimes with the more serious charge of conspiracy to murder RCMP officers withdrawn — begging the question — what was the Crown's actual case? The men, plus two others, had been held in custody for two years without bail, but recent momentum from the Mosley decision and advocacy from Tucker Carlson may have helped ease their way home. It is unclear if any deals are being offered to Chris Carbert and Anthony Olienick. The only accredited journalist actually in the courtroom was Mocha Bezirgan.

Ann Bauer: Families Are Not Alright
A new fad is sweeping North America — adult children refusing any contact with their parents — many of them because they are now “living their truth”. One in four families are estranged in significant ways that feel like a kind of sad ghosting. Part cultural phenomenon and part a result of trends in psychotherapy — mothers are labelled narcissists by daughters who say they feel “unheard”. Families are blown apart by a child who wants “no contact” because his parents voted for Donald Trump. It is a dangerous attack on the family and one that is harming society. Ann Bauer has written an acclaimed piece on family estrangement for Persuasion Magazine.

Freedom Wins: CJ Hopkins
An epic week of wins, for the truckers and free-speech lovers everywhere. Plus Tucker Carlson trolling our Prime Minister and the Liberals was icing on the cake. Justice Mosley nailed the government for an illegal use of the Emergencies Act and beloved playwright and satirist CJ Hopkins was acquitted by a German court for thought crimes that could have sent him to jail. And Trish celebrates a special trucker anniversary with an emotional walk down memory lane. Coffee with the Convoy rides again. Watch for the VIDEO episode on Substack.
