Scumbags, absolute scumbags, and shame on you, and shame on you.
Joining us now via Skype from Australia is our Chief Correspondent there, Avi Yamini.
Avi, great to see you.
Tell us what you can.
I know you're not in New Zealand, but of course, Australia is the closest country to New Zealand.
You know a lot about New Zealand's Prime Minister, the extreme authoritarian Jacinda Ardern.
Can you give us a little background on this protest at the Capitol?
Because I know that New Zealanders are finally waking up.
They had this high court ruling against the mandate.
So I felt like there was a flicker of hope.
What just happened?
Yeah, Ezra.
So actually, they're inspired by you guys in Canada.
That is still the convoy to the Capitol that are camped outside Parliament.
And yeah, it would seem as if Ardern, the Prime Minister of New Zealand, has been inspired by Trudeau.
And I think she's also using the cover of what's happening in Ukraine, between Russia and Ukraine at the moment, to distract.
So nobody notices.
While she's pointing the finger at Putin, she's busy knocking out senior citizens who are daring to voice their opposition to these mandates.
So is there some sort of martial law in New Zealand?
Is there some heightened emergency status?
Or was this just police deciding they were going to thump a few skulls?
I think that this is the enforcement against the convoy there where it's been ongoing, you know, even since you guys.
When the Canadians convoy kind of packed up, they kept going in New Zealand.
So they've had a few confrontations there.
And it seems like they're growing there as well with a large group of the indigenous, the Maori community, which have gotten involved as well.
So I think in New Zealand, there is a big shift because people are waking up to the idea that New Zealand has been, if not the place most on our planet, that has enforced the COVID restrictions to the highest degree.
You know, it's still impossible to get into New Zealand.
They're starting to lift them slowly.
But I think people in New Zealand are starting to recognize that they've been through all of this in the last two years.
And now they're being told, even when they've been good little citizens that have followed every single rule, now the virus is arriving.
Because even with all of that, it still manages to get in.
And so they've realized that now they've lost their jobs.
That's an excerpt from my daily show, The Ezra Levant Show.
Every day I do a monologue on the news of the day.
Then I interview an interesting guest.
And then I read my hate mail.
