Transcript
00:00:00.000
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, you have tuned into the Rebel News live stream
00:00:19.260
on this, a Tuesday, July 26, 2022. I'm David Menzies and my co-host, well,
00:00:26.560
let me tell you a little bit about my co-host. Do you know, folks, today is National Coffee
00:00:33.420
Milkshake Day and my co-host, he hates coffee milkshakes, as do I. He is the he-man with a
00:00:42.600
slingshot. He is the Khaleesi of Haldeman County. He is Dakota Christensen. How you doing there,
00:00:50.540
Dakota? I'm doing just fantastic, David. What an intro. You deserve it. Now, I'm serious. When it
00:00:59.140
comes to, you know, a coffee milkshake, you know, it's the idea of one plus one equals three, but
00:01:05.780
sometimes it goes south, even if you like the first two ingredients. I mean, I love coffee.
00:01:10.360
I love milkshakes. Coffee should not be combined with a milkshake. It's just like, I love music.
00:01:15.600
I love movies, but I hate musicals. I just hate them, right? You know, so, you know, there's a
00:01:23.000
whole list of things out there, I think, Dakota, that on their own are fantastic, but when you
00:01:29.880
combine them, you just ruin both of them. What do you think? Yeah, you know what? I think you make
00:01:36.580
some good points there. I'm honestly not sure how I feel about a lot of those things. Like, there are
00:01:41.200
some things I can think of where it's like, yeah, you throw a bunch of stuff together. It's better when
00:01:45.200
you combine it. I think you might have something there, though. When you take something great in
00:01:49.940
its simplest form and you start overcomplicating it, you just make it worse, you know? I think
00:01:55.640
you're onto something there, David. Well, thank you. I mean, I don't know anything about cooking
00:01:59.640
or engineering, but I like the phrase, keep it simple. The best engineering, I think, subscribes to
00:02:07.840
less is more. So let's not over-engineer our milkshakes. In any event, Dakota, why don't you
00:02:15.320
tell the folks at this point what the ostensible policy reason is for this show?
00:02:22.040
Well, absolutely. This is the Rebel News Daily livestream. We tell you all the cutting-edge
00:02:28.360
news of the day, and of course, we give you our thoughts and reactions on all of that.
00:02:32.340
And so, you know, we jump right in. You can interact with us. You can send us, I believe,
00:02:36.520
Rumble rants and Super U tips. Unfortunately, YouTube doesn't like us, has us demonetized.
00:02:42.880
So if you're on YouTube, I'd highly recommend hopping over onto Rumble or Odyssey so you can
00:02:47.800
actually interact with us, send us your messages, we'll respond to you, and we go through sort
00:02:55.380
You know, the good news is, Dakota, is I don't think we have anything that is YouTube unfriendly
00:03:04.280
because, you know, I think it's safe to say we have a love-hate relationship with YouTube. It's
00:03:10.560
kind of like Highway 407. I love Highway 407 for getting me from point A to point B at actual
00:03:17.480
highway speeds as opposed to bumper-to-bumper horror, which you get on the 401. What I hate
00:03:23.880
about 407 is the bill that comes in the mail. They take a picture of your license plate.
00:03:29.900
And oh, to our American friends out there, you have nothing to complain about when it comes
00:03:36.440
to tolling because I've gone on the Ohio Turnpike and I couldn't believe how cheap it was. But
00:03:42.900
getting back to YouTube, we love the reach, don't we, Dakota? We have like over 1.5 million subscribers.
00:03:50.480
We hate the censorship. And when it's topics like talking about a contrarian opinion to the COVID-19
00:04:01.300
narrative, that will get you a hit. Talking about electoral fraud, that's 2020 electoral fraud.
00:04:10.380
Can't talk about that. You can talk about 2016 electoral fraud. In fact, I think they encourage
00:04:15.900
you to talk about that, how Trump stole the election from Hillary Clinton. But yeah, so
00:04:22.480
it's very much a double standard. And I always find it shocking, Dakota, that YouTube being
00:04:30.840
in the land of the First Amendment, for them to subscribe to this censor platform, it's incredible.
00:04:40.180
And I think I've said this over and over on this show. When you go back some 15 years ago,
00:04:46.380
when you saw the likes of YouTube and Facebook and Twitter emerge, it was come one, come all.
00:04:53.900
This is going to be, you know, a biosphere of free speech. We love you. We're going to have
00:05:00.600
diverse ideas. Oh, and we're going to get free content, by the way. What a business plan,
00:05:05.800
right? Getting all the content for zero. And then once these platforms, Dakota, achieved critical
00:05:13.620
mass, they decided who is welcome and who is unwelcome. I mean, it was like just, we really
00:05:22.180
got hoodwinked. And the fallacy, of course, you know, of their free speech narrative is that most of
00:05:28.620
these people are on the left and they don't believe in classical liberalism anymore. They don't
00:05:35.260
believe in freedom of expression, of speech, etc. And they're censorious. You know, it's so sad to
00:05:42.420
see what's happened to the left, both here in Canada and the U.S. You're absolutely right. And
00:05:48.800
you know what? Just on your 407 point, slight tangent, I went on the 407 highway one time, David,
00:05:54.640
one time on one exit and I got a $15 bill in the mail. So I know what you're on about. One exit.
00:05:59.840
Yeah, I think it might have been two, but even still, it was something ridiculous like that.
00:06:05.880
Wow. And you probably didn't have a transponder.
00:06:11.940
Yeah, you'll be nailed. You see, folks, don't do what Dakota did unless you really have to get
00:06:16.360
there on time. In any event, enough about this. What do we have? Well, that was a fantastic
00:06:22.460
tweet, I would say. Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Oh, God, do I miss him? Oh,
00:06:32.180
do I miss him so much? Well, he endorsed a particular candidate last night for the CPC leadership.
00:06:40.900
Why don't we run the video and see who Mr. Harper likes?
00:06:45.620
Friends, fellow Conservatives, greetings. I haven't talked to you like this in a while and much has
00:06:54.420
transpired. Our party once again has a leadership race underway. In this particular race, there's
00:07:02.060
been a lot of speculation about whom I support or do not support and why. So it may be useful for my
00:07:09.140
fellow party members to hear my views straight from me. It's a strong field, but one candidate has
00:07:15.960
garnered disproportionate attention. Pierre Poilievre was a strong minister in my government.
00:07:22.460
In the past several years, he's been our party's most vocal and effective critic of the Trudeau
00:07:27.200
Liberals. He's been talking about the issues, especially the economic issues that matter. Slow
00:07:33.160
growth, debt, inflation, lack of job and housing opportunities, and the need to fix the institutions
00:07:40.660
that are failing Canadian families. He's proposing answers rooted in sound conservative ideas,
00:07:46.960
but ones adapted for today's realities. That's why he has the strong support of our caucus and our
00:07:53.500
existing membership, and why he is bringing the most new members and a new generation into our party.
00:07:59.840
That's how we win the next federal election. And in my opinion, Pierre has made by far the strongest
00:08:06.960
case that he is the person to do that. I know, of course, that others, including some of my friends,
00:08:14.240
may disagree with me, and I respect their views. But I thought you would like to know what my opinion
00:08:20.580
actually is. Thank you for listening. God bless all of you, and God bless Canada.
00:08:26.080
Well, Dakota, in my opinion, that is a huge endorsement. What do you say?
00:08:35.160
Yeah, absolutely. Especially since I find for the, you know, a number of years now, Harper has been
00:08:40.600
rather like he stayed in the background, kind of in the shadows. He hasn't, I mean, he never really was
00:08:46.440
one to be very talkative with the media, I think you would say, or to put his face out there
00:08:51.320
more than he needs to. And so I think it's definitely it is a big deal for him to be coming
00:08:56.620
out and putting his face out there on video and giving that endorsement, I think is a big deal.
00:09:00.800
And it's very interesting seeing people's reactions to this, I think, because when you look at people
00:09:06.160
on the conservative side, it's funny to see some people say, who just never liked Harper, they think
00:09:12.560
he's, you know, too far right wing corrupt all those Harper days. And then you find other people
00:09:18.160
who maybe like the more typical PPC supporter would say, oh, Harper, he's just another globalist
00:09:23.240
sellout. And this just shows that Pierre Polyev, he's just, you know, with the globalists. So it's
00:09:27.940
funny to see how people on, you know, different sides are reacting to this. But personally, I think
00:09:33.380
this is nothing but another sort of feather in the cap for Polyev there. And I think there is a huge
00:09:38.600
swath of the conservative movement, that this just kind of helps them feel a little bit better
00:09:43.720
about saying, yeah, you know what, like, hey, I miss the days of Stephen Harper, if only we could go
00:09:48.700
back to that, despite his faults. You know, if Polyev has his endorsement, I feel a little bit better
00:09:53.640
about giving him throwing my support behind Polyev. So no, it's interesting to see the lines people can
00:09:59.460
tell their their reactions to this video. I think you're right, Dakota. And something you said, I mean,
00:10:04.160
those who I guess we would describe as red Tories. Well, you have a candidate there, a prominent
00:10:10.920
candidate, that would be Sean Charest. That's who you would support, you know, a eight year liberal
00:10:18.200
premier of Quebec. And I think Stephen Harper is speaking to people that want to bring the party
00:10:26.180
more to the right, and not be, you know, waffling all over the place. I mean, it was interesting in his
00:10:33.220
words, he said, we're having a leadership convention, quote, once again. And what I took from that is
00:10:42.360
almost, you know, I don't know, a bit of condemnation, a bit of shock, what have you, because
00:10:48.060
when you think of it, Dakota, from 2019 to 2022, I mean, that's not even one four year term of
00:10:58.840
government, three leadership conventions for the Conservative Party of Canada. Let's hope we do,
00:11:08.540
you know, have somebody who comes as advertised. I think that was the major fallacy of both Mr.
00:11:16.120
Scheer and Mr. O'Toole. They said one thing before they became leader. And then once they became leader,
00:11:23.360
they were all over the map. And, you know, and by the way, people say, by the way, instead,
00:11:28.940
aside from blocking up some streets, what did the trucker convoy do? Well, it got rid of Aaron O'Toole.
00:11:34.180
It's not just because of the trucker convoy. That was the last straw. When you asked Aaron O'Toole,
00:11:40.240
do you support the truckers? Yes or no? He could not give you an answer with some nonsense about reaching
00:11:46.200
out to the trucking associations, which do not support the truckers. So, you know, people see
00:11:52.960
through that kind of con job. I am hopeful of, I mean, there are some good candidates. I like what
00:12:01.140
Roman Baber stands for. I like Lesley Lewis and her policies. But I think Pierre Polyev, you get the
00:12:08.140
sense of some momentum there, right? He's like a juggernaut right now. He's unstoppable.
00:12:15.120
I think this helps him. And, you know, for PPC supporters, Dakota, here's the burning issue
00:12:24.460
for them. And by the way, I do like the PPC. And, you know, I love Maxine Bernier. I always have time
00:12:31.660
for him. And he always has time for us. And that's great. But the thing is, they have to come to a
00:12:39.380
realization, I think, whenever the next federal election is, which is you really have zero chance,
00:12:47.120
almost zero chance of a PPC government coming into place. There's not even one man with one seat
00:12:53.960
in that party. So do you want to squander that vote? Or do you want to go with somebody, Pierre
00:13:00.660
Polyev, who, by the way, Dakota, has been echoing many of the platform planks Maxine Bernier has done?
00:13:09.940
I've covered a few, you know, rallies of Pierre Polyev. And I can tell you, the single promise that
00:13:18.200
he makes that gives them the loudest and most prolonged standing ovation is defunding the CBC.
00:13:25.240
That's right out of the PPC playbook. My question to you, Dakota, do you think PPC voters,
00:13:33.980
and they got a great percentage of the vote, which at the end of the day means nothing,
00:13:38.200
you've actually got to win the writing. Do you think they're going to say, I'm going to have to
00:13:42.980
maybe hold my nose, go back to the conservatives and vote for him? Or is it just it's Mad Max or nobody?
00:13:50.280
Mm hmm. Well, I feel like especially with this last election, I feel like there was a very large
00:13:56.460
swath of the People's Party that went to the PPC only because they were so disillusioned with the
00:14:03.500
Conservative Party. They like Aaron O'Toole was, we always said he's just, you know, liberal under a
00:14:09.720
different color. You know, he's, you know, he may be wearing the blue tie under the Conservative Party
00:14:14.000
of Canada. He's, you know, his platform is almost identical to Trudeau. Like he was so unpalatable,
00:14:19.320
I think, to any real conservatives that that's why the PPC was able to swallow up so much of the
00:14:23.560
party. And the Conservative Party, I think, was so evidently corrupt in many areas. And so I feel
00:14:29.460
like if Pierre Polyev, because he's such a front runner right now, if he falls through and if he
00:14:34.240
does win this leadership election, and if he does stay true to what he's campaigned on, like you said,
00:14:40.040
we want someone who remains as advertised. I feel like if he stays true to all the principles that
00:14:46.460
he has campaigned on and he does what he says he's going to do, I feel like there's a large swath of
00:14:50.620
the PPC who will be pulled back into the Conservative Party. Of course, I think there are
00:14:55.080
those who will remain with the PPC for sure. Maxine Brigny does have a very strong following
00:15:00.980
within a certain section of the population who are very much not going to go back to the
00:15:05.900
Conservatives, I think. But I think there is a large amount who will, who, you know, because like
00:15:10.260
you're saying, there are very similar on a lot of issues, which is interesting because we see
00:15:14.680
those like Jean Charest now calling Pierre Polyev an extremist in the party. His extreme views are
00:15:19.920
unacceptable and it's unelectable, whereas diehard members of the People's Party would say that,
00:15:26.600
oh, well, he's just another sellout and, you know, he's another phony politician. We can't trust him.
00:15:30.920
So, I mean, my kind of hard and fast rule is, well, I'm not going to give my trust to any
00:15:34.740
politician, but I'll throw some cautiously optimistic support behind them, however.
00:15:40.960
Yeah, I'm with you, Dakota. I am, I would support a Pierre Polyev, but with the caveat,
00:15:46.840
as long as he comes as advertised, you know, it will be heartbreaking. It will be crushing
00:15:53.000
if he does a flip-flop. My spidey senses are saying that he won't, that he means what he says
00:16:01.000
and he says what he means. Jeez, what a concept, right? But, um, yeah, imagine. And I'll tell you
00:16:07.220
one thing I would love, you know, if, um, that was a presser that, uh, Stephen Harper, uh, was giving
00:16:13.940
and it wasn't, it was just a private video that he put up on Twitter. The question I would love to
00:16:19.420
ask him, and maybe it's just because I personally invested so much time in it. I'd love to get Mr.
00:16:26.420
Harper's opinion on sneaky Patrick Brown and how he was thrown out of the party and what he thinks of
00:16:33.560
him for breaking the rules and getting caught breaking the rules and then blaming everybody
00:16:40.120
else and saying it's a conspiracy and everyone's out to get him. I would love to see someone as solid
00:16:46.060
as Stephen Harper, uh, give his opinion on Patrick Brown. What do you think he thinks of the sneaky
00:16:54.200
one Dakota? Well, I think Patrick Brown is such an obvious case of he's just, he's just had scandal
00:17:01.280
after scandal being caught in lie after lie after lie. I think Patrick Brown has demonstrated himself
00:17:07.020
so consistently as someone who will literally do or say anything on any issue in order to help
00:17:14.420
himself get ahead that, uh, I, I honestly don't think that, uh, Stephen Harper would think it worth
00:17:19.660
his time commenting on it. Uh, to be honest, like if I think if you had the opportunity to put the
00:17:24.600
question to him, I'm honestly not sure he would actually say anything of substance on the matter,
00:17:28.960
but, uh, I don't know, to me, it just seems so obvious that anyone who has followed the legacy
00:17:34.400
of Patrick Brown in the slightest, uh, can see that he is the, the epitome of the, you know,
00:17:41.740
what we think of the worst of politicians. Indeed. And to, to your words of he'll say and do
00:17:47.440
anything to get elected, what, what the viewers are watching right now, I don't know if you can see
00:17:51.580
it, uh, Dakota. It's that June 3rd, um, you know, event in which Lincoln, Jay and I followed, uh,
00:18:00.880
Patrick Brown, uh, right to a police station. Uh, here we are being told to come outside because
00:18:06.760
they've just set up a spot check on the parking lot of the police station, a spot check that began
00:18:14.460
and ended with my car and not the first car in, which was sneaky Patrick Brown's, uh, SUV there.
00:18:22.360
Um, the it's, it's amazing because to the point of what you said, he'll say anything.
00:18:30.120
If only we could get our hands on the call he made to police, or maybe it was a 911 call even.
00:18:35.740
I wonder what he said, you know, to the police or to the 911 dispatcher. Like, was it, I I'm fearing for
00:18:44.380
my life. There were these guys following me. There's been a lot of carjackings. This is all,
00:18:49.660
you know, theories. It's, it's impossible to prove. Um, as I understand it, we can't get a copy
00:18:55.360
of a 911 call unless the caller, uh, consents, uh, to, to allowing that, um, transcript to be
00:19:03.360
revealed. That's what I've been told by legal, but it's amazing because if he said stuff like that,
00:19:11.180
and I have a feeling he did, I have a feeling he, you know, had some kind of narrative that I'm
00:19:17.400
being followed, which he was, we were following him. Absolutely. Cause we wanted to, uh, you know,
00:19:22.340
once he got out of the vehicle, we wanted to ask him questions. But again, if he said that his life
00:19:29.340
or property were at risk, it was all blown away by the fact that his chauffeur, which we later found
00:19:36.620
out is guess what, uh, Dakota, a, um, full-time city of Brampton employee. So that makes it core
00:19:43.860
seven that we know of that we're working on the Patrick Brown for conservative leader campaign.
00:19:49.560
He said to, uh, Lincoln Jay, uh, we know who the F, uh, you are. And I'm sure that chauffeur might be in
00:20:00.660
a little bit of hot water because it destroys any kind of narrative, uh, that Patrick Brown might've
00:20:08.080
said to the authorities that there were some gang bangers, you know, uh, following me. Uh, because
00:20:14.820
if the chauffeur knows who we are, surely Patrick Brown knows who we are. We're no threat to him,
00:20:19.940
unless you, I don't know, count impolite questions as being threatening. So there again, uh, Dakota,
00:20:27.660
I guess that's one anecdote yet. Another anecdote, I should say that backs up what you say that he'll
00:20:33.460
say or do anything. Yeah. And on that note of the, what he said to the police call, because I think
00:20:39.480
it's one of two things there. And like you're saying about the driver saying, we know who you
00:20:43.440
are destroys, um, the narrative of if you recall and say, Hey, I'm fearing for my safety. There are
00:20:49.620
people following me. I don't know who they are. It's either that, or what could be even worse rather
00:20:54.680
than him lying to the police and saying, Oh, there are these people. I don't know who they
00:20:57.800
are. They're following me. They admitted they knew who you were. So the, all the other thing is, Hey,
00:21:03.920
I have rebel news following me in the car. I'm going to call up my buddies, the police station
00:21:08.760
and let them know, Hey, they're following me. Can you stop them? I'm going to walk in.
00:21:12.680
It's either he lied to the police or he called up his buddies at the police station and had them help
00:21:18.760
him out, uh, in a rather inappropriate way to apprehend media and get him out of a bit of hot water
00:21:23.900
himself. It is astonishing. Uh, now, of course he's yesterday's man. When it comes to the CPC,
00:21:29.800
he will be running for mayor of Brampton again, just for the sake that he can, uh, be mayor of
00:21:36.040
Brampton. It's all about the insatiable quest for power when it comes to Patrick Brown. And it's kind
00:21:41.540
of funny that I feel sorry for Bramptonians, good people that they have to endure this guy. Um,
00:21:49.640
he's run that city like, well, basically his own private bordello for the last four years,
00:21:55.160
his own fiefdom. Um, the last five city council meetings, if you can believe it, Dakota never
00:22:00.880
even happened. The city is kind of operating on autopilot. We know of now seven for sure employees
00:22:07.760
working on his campaign. Uh, the chief administrative officer, a former cop doesn't return my calls,
00:22:15.380
um, my emails. I gave him a package last week. Uh, no farm, no fall, even though the media relations
00:22:22.860
people, uh, don't return calls or emails. It's astonishing Dakota. It is, um, you know, it's like
00:22:31.140
everybody is on, I won't say on the take, but everybody, it seems as answerable to Patrick Brown.
00:22:39.700
You know, it's like, it, it, it, it is like something out of, um, I don't know, a fiefdom
00:22:44.720
from game of thrones, right? He sits on the mafia kind of shakedown, man, the top, the head of the
00:22:51.640
family and he is, you know, his, uh, his capos and then the foot soldiers and they're all answering
00:22:57.060
up to the man up top. It's yeah, it's, it's a weird thing to look at how Patrick Brown is running
00:23:02.320
the city of Brampton and how that municipality is kind of turned into its own little, you know,
00:23:06.600
political cabal in its own right. It is dysfunctional. We'll see what happens October,
00:23:11.460
but right now, um, we must break for an ad. Check this one out folks. Hey folks, check
00:23:18.460
out the newest arrival to the rebel news store. Yes. F is for Fidel and F is for father. I mean,
00:23:27.680
could it be? Yes. It half this photo, the colored half is a Justin Trudeau. The black and white half
00:23:34.560
is a young Fidel Castro. Wait now, or is it vice versa? It's so confusing. I'm a huge forensic
00:23:42.580
files fan. Wouldn't it be great if we could have a piece of Justin's DNA and a piece of Fidel's DNA
00:23:49.600
and put the rumor to bed once and for all. But in the meantime, we'll just have to walk around
00:23:56.600
wearing this shirt hinting at a great Canadian conspiracy or is it in any event. If you want
00:24:07.140
to get this shirt folks, go to the rebel news store and check this out. Type in our new discount code.
00:24:14.620
That's summer. S U M M E R. And if you buy two unisex t-shirts, you get an additional one for free.
00:24:24.500
What a deal. Like I said, Justin Trudeau, Fidel Castro. As they used to say on the ABC
00:24:32.360
Detergent ads, do you tell the difference? I can't tell the difference.
00:24:38.220
You know, I got to tell you, Dakota, I have a little conspiracy theory about Justin Trudeau's
00:24:44.760
awful Jim Carrey, dumb and dumber haircut. And it's this. Just days after we ran that ad,
00:24:53.860
and by the way, I think it might be our top seller right now this summer. They are flying off the
00:25:00.800
shelves. Lady Menzoid wore hers to the convoy that descended upon the Vaughn Mills shopping mall in
00:25:08.960
Vaughn, Ontario. And wow, was she the belle of the ball at that gathering wearing that t-shirt?
00:25:15.780
People loved it. So I'm sure that generated even more sales. I'm thinking he wants to disassociate
00:25:22.900
himself from the uncanny resemblance of a young Castro and a current vintage Trudeau. And what
00:25:32.380
better way to do that than to give yourself maybe the most horrible haircut in Canadian political
00:25:42.440
I think that is a grand theory, David. I'll have to think about that a little bit. I do like it,
00:25:49.820
though. I very much like it. And that ad is the best ad we've ever shot. I think it's incredible.
00:25:55.120
As soon as the conspiracy, or is it, comes on, it kills me every time. It's golden. But honestly,
00:26:01.300
it's worth looking into the, you know, all the, I think there's, I think it's in Medium,
00:26:05.660
an article that's called, No, Nothing's Been Debunked. And it goes through all the ways that
00:26:09.540
the Trudeau-Castro theory about how Fidel Castro could be his father is very plausible. Of course,
00:26:16.080
there's no proof. There's no evidence of anything, but there's a lot of plausibility.
00:26:20.780
Well, Margaret loved to travel around. In fact, from time to time, there were even
00:26:25.120
Mounties dispatched to find out where the hell she was on the continent,
00:26:29.140
or off-the-count continent, as the case may be. So, you know, but again, unless we can
00:26:35.520
submit that to a DNA test, and I have a feeling there's no way in hell Justin Trudeau would ever
00:26:41.700
agree to that. It's all lose-lose if things go wrong for him. But I'm telling you, folks,
00:26:50.280
the resemblance is uncanny, and we cannot prove it. But wow, if you want to wear it on your t-shirt,
00:26:57.800
on your chest as a question mark as to his real paternal roots, please do so. You know,
00:27:06.400
here's the other thing, Dakota, before we move on. I bet if he sees that, much like the F Trudeau
00:27:13.920
flags, which might have almost outnumbered the Canadian flags at the Dutch farmer rally I went to
00:27:21.700
and Vaughn on Saturday with super producer Olivia. I think this gets under his skin. I think he is
00:27:30.600
such a sociopath that he can't believe there are people that dislike him and even use four-letter
00:27:40.980
words to convey their feelings towards him. What do you think about that?
00:27:45.520
Oh, yeah. Yeah. I think there's no doubt just he's such a narcissist that I can't imagine that
00:27:52.840
seeing flags with his name, but with a certain expletive beforehand or seeing that shirts like
00:27:58.160
that. I mean, it has to get under his skin. I mean, the whole convoy, you could just see how
00:28:02.840
stressed and anxious and worried he was throughout that whole time in February when the convoy was in
00:28:08.000
Ottawa. And, you know, there were a few moments where he's lashing out a little bit. Yeah, I can
00:28:14.180
only imagine it gets under his skin. And I see we have some other topics that are pretty much
00:28:21.880
YouTube friendly. Oh, here, you know, this intrigues me. I haven't seen the video, so I'm
00:28:28.520
going to be seeing it for the first time. But it is something that is so much in the news cycle
00:28:34.060
for this calendar year of 2022, Dakota. Essentially, it's Robert Downey Jr. promoting mealworms. Now,
00:28:42.860
before we get to the video, I can tell you this. I just wrote a monologue about it's a group of
00:28:50.300
almost 100 mayors. They're called the C-40. Sounds like an explosive. Of course, John Tory is on that
00:28:57.660
list. And it's all about climate change and all about the war on the farmer, which is coming to
00:29:05.600
Canada, by the way. It's not just something far off in the Netherlands. And I say that because of
00:29:11.540
the Justin Trudeau Liberals proposed mandates of reducing fertilizer. And I made the quip. I said,
00:29:19.540
you know, it seems that not a week goes by where I don't come across a story involving edible insects.
00:29:29.400
And just to make sure I was on solid ground with that statement, I went to Google News,
00:29:35.180
typed in edible insects. And my goodness, I said, not a week goes by. I should have said not a day goes
00:29:41.580
by. Dakota, the last news item was only 10 hours old. I mean, it was. And then there was something
00:29:50.320
from just, I think, four days ago from the BBC, a big factual feature of why it's a good idea for
00:29:57.800
crickets to replace beef. Unbelievable. But what I can't help but think is that all these people,
00:30:06.220
I mean, Robert Downey, he comes from a place of privilege. He gets, what, 20, 30 million dollars
00:30:11.540
a movie just to put on an Iron Man costume. The politicians, the Claude Schwab's of the world,
00:30:19.000
they're all preaching this. But I just wonder if they're having a cricket sandwich as opposed to a
00:30:25.800
Big Mac. So why don't we roll this video? And I want you to weigh in on this. It's almost a fetish
00:30:33.000
by certain people in certain circles to promote insect eating.
00:30:40.860
It's incredibly comfortable. Now, what is this? This looks like I could make cocoa with this. What is
00:30:46.160
right? What is that? Well, that's an insect based premium protein. It's made from Molitor,
00:30:52.380
which is mealworm larvae. The company is called Insect. This is Infrost. This is for fertilizer.
00:30:59.000
And as you have there, this is a powder derived from the mealworm. And it's a insect protein just
00:31:07.860
been approved by the EU for human consumption. You're not just getting me to eat dirt, are you?
00:31:15.140
No, man, I wouldn't play you, bro. We're like one. We're like one entity now.
00:31:20.280
If this is protein, it's essentially tasteless. It's just a protein supplement.
00:31:24.580
Exactly. I can put this in a smoothie or something.
00:31:28.260
I'm telling you. Yep. And they'll be making all kinds of stuff out of it. And by the way,
00:31:33.800
it is the making of it is severely reducing the amount of emissions it takes. It is an innovation,
00:31:42.220
Justin. We're doing something incorrectly. If we make this switch, it's a huge, huge intervention.
00:31:49.620
Well, you know, Dakota, go back to the beginning of the show. I guess I now have an answer in terms of
00:31:57.840
how do you make a coffee milkshake taste even worse? And I guess it's to put up grinded down
00:32:04.300
insects into the beverage. What's your take on what Robert Downey was trying to sell us?
00:32:10.640
Yeah, I mean, to your point about it's everywhere now, there's this massive push. It's like this campaign
00:32:16.680
that's being pushed across and they're roping celebrities into it left and right. And on the
00:32:20.700
last live stream I was on, we showed a video of Nicole Kidman sitting there eating insects. She's
00:32:25.360
like, oh, here's a mealworm. And she'd eat it. Oh, delicious. And, you know, there's this push all
00:32:30.500
around. It's like this campaign to try and promote like people to eat bugs and, you know, bug supplements
00:32:37.920
and all that for as an alternative protein that's more climate eco-friendly. And it's just like,
00:32:43.740
it's the current thing right now. It's what the people are pushing. You know, we always talk about,
00:32:47.320
oh, I support the current thing. What's the woke, you know, social agenda that the celebrities are
00:32:52.840
pushing these days. Well, now eating bugs is on the list. And I mean, I personally, I've got no issue
00:32:58.100
if you want to go and eat the bugs. If that's what the market wants, if the market demands more insect
00:33:02.020
protein and the consumers are there for it, they want to eat the bugs. I say, let them have it. But
00:33:06.420
it's just, it's creepy and weird when we have this sudden uniform push of all these celebrities
00:33:11.800
saying, come on, guys, eat the bugs. It's good for you. And it'll save the planet. You know,
00:33:16.380
eat less beef and eat bugs instead. It just, it just seems weird. Yeah. Like this whole set here
00:33:21.200
is just, you know, it's, it's very weird advertisement for eating bugs. I don't know.
00:33:27.820
I mean, again, like, Hey, proteins, protein, I'll try these things. If you put bugs in front of me,
00:33:32.340
I'll try them just for the experience. Honestly, you know, I'll, I'll try anything you want to give me,
00:33:36.740
but, uh, I don't think I'll be making bugs a staple of my diet anytime soon. Uh, I don't know. I would
00:33:43.480
have to see a very compelling case as to why I should, maybe it was because all the rest of the
00:33:47.980
food gets so expensive. I have no choice. Maybe that's the, maybe that's, uh, what pushes people
00:33:52.140
to accept the bugs, you know, beefed at $50 a pound or have a bunch of crickets.
00:33:56.860
Well, you know, Dakota, call me cynical, but as we were watching that Nicole Kidman video,
00:34:02.700
uh, did you notice there were no closeup shots? I mean, I'm wondering, we get the shot of the
00:34:08.840
mealworms in the, uh, silver, uh, canister, and then she put something in her mouth. Maybe that
00:34:15.960
was a gummy worm. You know how they like to fake things in Hollywood, right? But I think it should
00:34:21.080
be noted that we've heard estimates of up to 2 billion people on this planet of some 8 billion
00:34:28.360
use insects, uh, or consume insects, I should say, as part of their daily diet.
00:34:33.840
And I think, um, I'm not saying that figure is wrong, but we have to connect the dots. And that
00:34:40.760
is to say, if someone is in Uganda and doesn't have access to, oh, I don't know, a cheeseburger,
00:34:47.620
and the only way to get through the day with something in your belly, so you don't starve
00:34:53.380
is an insect. Well, then you're going to eat insect, not out of desire, but out of necessity.
00:35:00.440
I think that's what's going on. A, B, I think the reason, yeah, there you go. Um, 2 billion people
00:35:08.240
eat insects and you can too. No, I don't need to. I still have a little green in my wallet, uh,
00:35:15.940
to buy a sandwich. Thank you. A sandwich that I want to make sure it's free of bugs. Because I
00:35:21.220
remember a world Dakota where if you bought something from a restaurant, it had bugs in it,
00:35:26.040
uh, you know, bylaw would give the restaurant a ticket, uh, the food inspectors. Um, now I guess
00:35:32.640
they're encouraging it too for added protein. But the thing is, um, you got to wonder what is the
00:35:38.920
ostensible policy reason of, uh, the likes of C40 and the World Economic Forum and the United Nations
00:35:46.260
and the celebrities in Hollywood, uh, urging us to do this. And I think it is because of the climate
00:35:54.060
change virtue signaling that you see in the Netherlands. The, the Dutch government has
00:35:59.400
declared war on nitrogen, a much needed element for farming. It's going to put farms out of business.
00:36:04.180
Here in Canada, if the Trudeau, uh, proposals go through, you are looking at farmers having lower
00:36:10.680
yields, less profits, higher prices for me and you, and family farms going under. And it's all in the
00:36:18.380
name of climate change. So the elitists I'm sure know that if you take away nitrogen, if you take away
00:36:26.520
fertilizer, take away manure, it means less food. So we've got to sell in advance this idea
00:36:33.020
that it's actually downright fashionable. Hey, look, the stars in the Hollywood Hills are eating
00:36:39.100
bugs. Why aren't you? I think that might be part of it. Dakota, what do you think?
00:36:45.080
Well, yeah, absolutely. And like I was kind of saying at the end of my last comment there,
00:36:48.480
almost in jest, but it is quite serious note in terms of, like you're saying, all of these
00:36:52.920
emission targets and nitrogen caps that we're seeing being introduced as a top-down government
00:36:57.340
policy in the Netherlands, in Canada, like you're seeing it around the world now, different
00:37:02.880
governments are now introducing very similar policies to these, which like you said, is going
00:37:08.020
to mean a decrease in the production of food. When you have less food, less traditional farm food,
00:37:15.020
the price of those foods are going to skyrocket. So only the rich will be able to afford them.
00:37:20.260
And then while all of these policies are being implemented that are forcing farmers to produce
00:37:25.040
less food, we have these cricket and other insect production facilities popping up, like the one
00:37:31.880
in London, London, Ontario, that was recently had this big announcement of, oh, the largest cricket
00:37:37.020
farm in the world is now opening here in Ontario. This is great. You know, we're going to start producing
00:37:43.260
more insects en masse. So these bug foods will be economic, you know, they will be affordable for
00:37:50.980
the average person. But all of these traditional foods, especially animal products are going to be
00:37:55.700
complete luxuries. And again, I've got no problem with those things. If that's what the market naturally
00:38:02.100
allows, if that's what consumer decisions drive. But this is a weird top-down government policy that
00:38:09.500
is forcing farmers out of business, forcing them to produce less food, and then encouraging the
00:38:15.740
production of insects all in the name of global emissions and climate change. It just, it's so weird,
00:38:22.640
Well, you know, earlier this month, I did visit that London facility, Dakota. It is enormous. It almost looks
00:38:32.280
like a real-life Borg cube touched down in London, Ontario, except there's not cyborgs in it. It's, I presume,
00:38:40.040
billions of crickets. And I did speak to the CEO. I found him a very nice man. And he assured me it's
00:38:49.080
none of the crickets being produced are for human consumption. It's for pet food consumption. I don't
00:38:55.620
know if we asked Fluffy and Fido if they're okay with that or not. So I'll, we'll be putting together
00:39:02.300
a report on, on my visit there. But it's very odd too, that, you know, part of my upcoming monologue
00:39:10.040
is that this year that we're living in, 2022, was the time for the 1973 science fiction film,
00:39:20.880
Soylent Green. And it's kind of uncanny how many things have come true. And I mean, and that's a huge,
00:39:27.240
you know, risk trying to guess the future in 50 years. But some of it, they were bang on. For
00:39:34.960
example, assisted suicide, you know, in the movie, it's not only legal, it's actually encouraged and
00:39:42.520
your remaining family members get death benefits when you exit the planet to help with the population
00:39:49.000
issue. And the other thing, of course, is the title of the film, Soylent Green. That is a substitute
00:39:54.780
food replacement. For anyone that hasn't seen Soylent Green, I'm not going to give the spoiler
00:40:00.360
of what they make Soylent Green out of. Let's put it this way. Once you know the secret behind
00:40:08.380
Soylent Green, eating bugs would be like filet mignon. Okay, let me tell you that much. And one last point,
00:40:16.640
as this war on the farm continues, as this promotion of edible insects continues, when I think of elites,
00:40:26.620
one of the big world elites, Dakota, is Bill Gates. And isn't it odd that Bill Gates is now
00:40:33.880
the single largest owner of American farmland, right? So he's not down with the bug menu.
00:40:43.980
It looks like he's got enough farmland to keep him and his buddies well nourished with beef and pork
00:40:51.880
and chicken and what have you. I also understand he is the single largest shareholder of CN Rail,
00:40:59.380
because it's one thing to raise the beef and the pork and whatnot, but you've got to get it to market
00:41:07.080
too. So it seems that for such a guy who was considered a futuristic visionary, when you go
00:41:13.380
back to the beginning of Microsoft, he's really old school when it comes to his edibles. What say
00:41:21.440
you, my friend? Well, if you think about what I was just saying earlier, you know, if you consider
00:41:27.220
what I was saying to end up coming to pass, where you have this, these government policies implemented,
00:41:33.720
where it forces so many farms to shut down, it reduces the ability of like these small family
00:41:40.120
farmers and private farm ownership on a small scale is reduced, and the price of traditional
00:41:45.620
farm produced food gets jacked up, then Bill Gates is sitting pretty, he's got all this farmland. And
00:41:50.820
if he's got his farming systems in place, and like you said, if he's got rail to transport it, then
00:41:56.460
that's an incredibly profitable business right there of this commodity of farm fresh food coming out of
00:42:02.660
Bill Gates farms going to feed all the those who are well enough to actually afford that quality
00:42:07.840
food. It feels like to me, he's just reading the tea leaves here, maybe I don't know if he's
00:42:12.820
helping out any of these policies being pushed. But seems to me like if that is where the if that's
00:42:21.680
the direction we're headed with these big governments forcing this to happen, then hey, I'd be buying up
00:42:27.100
all the farmland I could do if I was in his position, because looks like farm produced food is about
00:42:32.000
to become a lot more valuable. You know, that's a great point. And then again, to throw back to
00:42:36.120
Soylent Green, which was eerily prescient, given that it was shot in 1973. That is one of the plot
00:42:44.040
points that only 1% of the world's population, which by one thing that did get it wrong was the
00:42:50.760
population estimates. Presumably, the world is populated with 40 billion people, not the
00:42:58.280
current 8 billion it is right now. But only less than 1% of the super wealthy could actually ever
00:43:10.340
dream of eating a piece of beef. It is in the thousands of dollars. And hey, who knows, maybe
00:43:19.340
Bill Gates saw that movie recently and said, I think this isn't a piece of science fiction. It's a business
00:43:26.360
plan for our real future. Exactly. Oh, man. In any event, we must break for an ad, I understand.
00:43:36.080
Because you know what, folks, in addition to your generous donations, selling the merchandise is one
00:43:41.580
of the ways in which we keep the lights on. We don't subscribe to the mainstream media business plan
00:43:47.420
of, oh, let's just take a direct withdrawal out of Canadians' wallets every two weeks. So let's roll with
00:43:54.640
an ad. So I absolutely love having the opportunity to chat with you, to chat with our ever-growing
00:44:03.520
audience. But I'd actually love for you to have that opportunity as well. We actually have
00:44:07.500
advertising opportunities available with rebelnews.com. We don't get handouts from the
00:44:12.040
government. We trust on supporters, viewers, and advertisers like you. So instead of folks listening
00:44:17.200
to me in this spot, they could actually be checking out your company, getting information about your
00:44:21.440
business. For more information or to advertise with us, send an email to ads at rebelnews.com.
00:44:29.480
Oh, wow. Did Adam look really something like that on that horse? But I can tell you,
00:44:35.320
Dakota, Sheila knows this. I've told this anecdote so many times. In 1985, when I began my journalism
00:44:41.360
career in Alberta, I rode the Bucking Bull Champion of the province for the previous year, Oscar,
00:44:49.880
at the Smoky Lake Rodeo. The ride lasted two and a half seconds. My recovery lasted, I think,
00:44:56.600
two and a half months. I was taken to hospital immediately with a hyperextended elbow and bruised
00:45:01.600
ribs and whatnot. But I did survive. So Adam Seuss, you get on a bull before you take any kind of Calgary
00:45:08.020
stampede bragging points. But, you know, I think part of the message of why it's good to advertise
00:45:13.940
with us, Dakota, is that rebel viewers are incredibly loyal. They buy our merchandise like
00:45:24.000
crazy. They love us. You know, when you go to an event, they are so appreciative. You know, they
00:45:30.040
ask for selfies. I mean, I don't think, you know, Rosemary Barton has ever been asked for a selfie by
00:45:39.200
anyone. But they love what it is we're selling. And I guess what I'm trying to get to, it's almost like
00:45:45.540
I've heard when it comes to NASCAR that, you know, when the drivers in their cars, they're covered
00:45:51.680
in ads and logos and whatnot. And evidently, it is the best marketing buy you can do because NASCAR fans
00:46:00.260
vote with their wallets. If your driver is wearing a Tide logo, guess what? The next day when they're
00:46:07.520
shopping, they're going to buy a box of Tide as opposed to another box of detergent because,
00:46:12.580
you know, Tide is supporting your favorite driver. I think that's the connection here,
00:46:18.640
that you align your brand to Rebel News. I think you're going to win. I think you are. There's a
00:46:26.860
great chance your sales are going to go up. What do you think? Yeah, I think you're right. And I
00:46:32.960
think it's there are a lot of people who do follow us who like to know that they are supporting
00:46:37.700
companies that share certain more traditional values of freedom and conservatism. And I feel like
00:46:46.100
they're like you're saying, there are a lot of very loyal viewers that we have who want to support
00:46:50.520
people like that, but also don't know quite where to find them. So it's always a great opportunity,
00:46:54.120
I think, to advertise with media companies that sort of wear their hearts on their sleeve,
00:46:59.060
so to speak, in terms of their values and their, you know, viewpoints and don't try and hide that
00:47:04.940
under the rug at all. We're very clear. We're very open. We're very transparent about what we think
00:47:08.960
and what we, you know, what we subscribe to ourselves philosophically. And so I think it's
00:47:15.700
always a good idea and a good plan to sort of align with those who share those values.
00:47:24.000
No, I think you're right. What Aaron O'Toole and Andrew Scheer taught us is wishy-washy is a recipe
00:47:32.600
for disaster. Even going back to the late nineties, when you had Paul Martin running for prime minister
00:47:38.940
and he earned the nickname, Mr. Dithers. Now, once you get the nickname, Mr. Dithers,
00:47:47.240
it's over, Johnny. Okay. It is over. And I think the last straw for him is he was doing a photo op
00:47:55.280
and he was putting a wreath. It was Christmas time, uh, on his door and a reporter simply asked,
00:48:04.080
I think it was just like a joking question. It wasn't a gotcha question. And she asked, uh,
00:48:10.300
Mr. Martin, is that a Christmas wreath or a holiday wreath? And Martin looked like Bambi caught in the
00:48:18.260
high beams of a Hummer on the 401. Okay. Dakota, he was actually terrified. And his answer was,
00:48:24.380
it's a $50 rate. He wouldn't commit either to traditionalism or wokeism and, uh, went up the
00:48:34.580
middle and we all know what happened to Paul Martin's career. Uh, although I will say this,
00:48:38.920
I would have Paul Martin in a heartbeat over Justin Trudeau. Paul Martin did do great work as a finance
00:48:44.480
minister. Uh, Justin Trudeau and his cronies, uh, think, um, uh, well, the budget will balance itself
00:48:51.000
and let's just print money and let's send Canada into a stagflation environment. Incredible. And we
00:48:57.600
should go back cause we did, uh, uh, tease it at the beginning of the show. Um, Jean Charest. Yeah.
00:49:04.700
Speaking of liberals, uh, Jean Charest says vaccine mandates keep public sector workers safe. And he said
00:49:14.640
this in a campaign mail out, um, that gets my spidey senses tingling, uh, Dakota, because I truly
00:49:23.860
believe it's only a matter of time, i.e. the fall when flu season comes in, when we'll have the due
00:49:31.240
rigueur premier Ford announcement. Well, you know what folks, if it was up to be, uh, I wouldn't close
00:49:36.420
down businesses and I wouldn't mandate, uh, max masks and I wouldn't demand, uh, vaccine apartheid.
00:49:42.840
Um, and when you see Sheree, you know, talking about vaccine mandates and public sector workers,
00:49:49.360
I think that is kind of, if he did become prime minister Dakota, I think we know where he weighs
00:49:57.460
when it comes to vax policies and it ain't a good one.
00:50:01.480
Mm-hmm. Yeah. And I, uh, I think in that article, we were flashing there from true North,
00:50:07.660
uh, it was interesting when someone from his campaign was asked about that, about him saying,
00:50:12.360
so, you know, Jean Charest, he supports vaccine mandates. He said, Oh, we'll know at the, uh,
00:50:16.680
this other event here, he said his, he was asked about his thoughts on vaccine mandates. And
00:50:20.760
his response there was simply that, well, I don't think anyone thinks vaccine mandates would be
00:50:25.760
effective anyway. So who would possibly implement those? But he made no hard and fast condemnation.
00:50:31.480
Or statement. He just sort of like we were talking about went up the middle. Well,
00:50:35.740
you know, these days who really thinks vaccine mandates would be an effective policy,
00:50:39.140
but that totally leaves him open to in the future saying, Oh, well, actually we now believe them
00:50:44.240
to be a very effective policy and vaccine mandates all around. It just, uh, you know,
00:50:49.140
you just absolutely lacks principle. Yeah. Well, then again, uh, if I'm reading the tea leaves
00:50:54.760
correctly, Dakota, um, Jean Charest has a snowball's chance in hell of becoming leader of the conservative
00:51:02.080
party and therefore, uh, getting a chance at becoming prime minister. I really think,
00:51:06.380
um, we, we are aboard the Pierre Polyev, uh, steamroller here. And, um, so really, uh, you may as well ask,
00:51:16.420
I don't know, Scott Atchkinson, uh, what he thinks of vaccine mandates, you know, I'm not trying to be
00:51:23.300
cruel to Scott, but like, there's a time in which you got to say it's over and just quietly, uh, exit
00:51:30.680
stage. Right. And speaking of over, we've only got 10 minutes left. Uh, Dakota, I believe we might
00:51:36.580
have some chats that we do. Okay. And is that me, Olivia? You want me to read? Okay. Dakota,
00:51:49.020
I think it's on your end. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I got, uh, got this right here. I go for it. Adam Ottawa
00:51:57.620
says the Ottawa LRT is down again this week. They say it's because of lightning striking the electrical
00:52:03.260
line. Cue the climate alarmist relying on 100% electricity is just not working. Apparently.
00:52:09.420
Oh yeah. Adam Ottawa. Thank you for that dollar. Uh, brilliant comment. Uh, anything that, you know,
00:52:17.060
what the climate alarmists don't understand or pretend not to understand Dakota is whether an
00:52:23.360
environment are two different things. We've only kept accurate weather, uh, records for the last
00:52:29.380
three centuries. Guess what folks, that is a blink of an eyelash in terms of geological time. Um,
00:52:35.680
the planet is billions of years old. And when you say that, uh, there was a record temperature set
00:52:43.060
in London or there's a BC wildfire or an electrical strike took down the Ottawa transit line, uh, that is
00:52:51.260
zero evidence of climate change, but the Greta Thunberg acolytes, Dakota, they will nevertheless run with it.
00:53:05.540
Now, again, from Adam Ottawa, do you want to see real hate in action? Read some of the comments made
00:53:10.920
by the left on the CBC news article about Harper's tweet. Why do those on the left think they can be
00:53:16.660
hateful themselves? Well, they, it's, I guess, um, it's almost an indoctrination Dakota, I think,
00:53:25.180
because we go, you know, when you go to right of center demonstrations versus left of center
00:53:30.160
demonstrations, you know, which one has the violence because I find that members on the left,
00:53:35.280
they can't articulate what their points are. And they've been brought up, uh, for a couple of
00:53:40.580
decades now, an entire generation or more with that phrase, punch a Nazi. Now, what is the definition
00:53:47.580
of a Nazi? Is it someone on world conquest and engineering a genocide? No, the new definition is
00:53:54.640
somebody that disagrees with you, be it climate change or, uh, the U.S. election of, uh, 2020.
00:54:02.060
And what's the result? Not to debate, not to engage with words, but to throw a punch, to break the law,
00:54:10.620
to commit physical assault, to commit vandalism, to burn down places. That is what the left is all
00:54:17.160
about. And again, it's, I, I, you know, hearken back to this, you know, incredible lack of ability
00:54:25.380
to simply articulate what it is they stand for because they probably don't even know what they stand for.
00:54:32.060
Yeah. And there's just this, this overemphasis, like you're saying, and the definition of a Nazi
00:54:35.880
these days is anyone you don't like, or anyone, anyone who disagrees with you. And it's just sad
00:54:39.960
to see these people who genuinely do believe that certain people who are on the opposite side of the
00:54:45.160
political spectrum from them are their actual enemy who is out to destroy their lives, make their
00:54:50.480
lives hell, wants to harm and oppress them. And they genuinely believe that. And so, yeah, there's a lot
00:54:56.420
of, you know, misplaced hate out there and it is actually very sad to see.
00:55:08.640
Yeah. CBC is reporting on alleged desecration of the unknown soldier tomb in Ottawa, but they won't show
00:55:15.020
us what the desecration entailed. Who, how can we judge for ourselves if we can't see the damage?
00:55:20.300
Yeah, that's interesting. I was actually reading that earlier this morning. The desecration was they
00:55:25.700
draped a flag over it. Now, I don't think that's appropriate. It was a, it was a U.S.-Canada,
00:55:30.840
one of those hybrid flags, and they draped over the flag, they draped it over the monument. Now,
00:55:35.240
again, I don't think what they were doing was appropriate. I don't think that's something you
00:55:38.540
should be doing on the tomb of the unknown soldier, but I would hardly call it desecration,
00:55:43.420
per se, because that sort of paints the image that they were, you know, graffitiing it or something
00:55:46.960
like that. Like they were, you know, actually vandalizing it where they draped some fabric over it,
00:55:51.700
which again, it's disrespectful and inappropriate, I would say. But yeah, like, like Adam Ottawa was
00:55:57.340
saying, there seems a little, you know, bit of hyperbole there to saying they desecrated the,
00:56:03.240
yeah, here's the video here. They draped a flag. Yeah. So again, I don't condone this.
00:56:08.740
I don't think this meets the benchmark Dakota of desecration. Now, had they spray painted the tomb,
00:56:15.160
you know, had they taken a mallet and smashed pieces off, that's another kettle of fish.
00:56:20.840
But I would imagine if that's a US and Canadian flag that they've draped over the tomb, I think
00:56:27.840
these are people, I'm just guessing now, because I don't know this story in depth, who are supportive
00:56:34.960
of the veterans and not anti-veteran, because they would probably drape, you know, I don't know,
00:56:41.300
the flag of Antifa over the tomb, if that were the case. So, but you know, Adam Ottawa raises a good
00:56:48.700
point. I am getting sick and tired, Dakota, because we're all adults here that are consuming news,
00:56:53.980
that when you read mainstream media accounts of controversial issues, how details are specifically
00:57:03.440
left out of the story. You know, as an example, maybe you'll have a hockey game where the story is
00:57:12.920
one player said something offensive to another and they're calling for a suspension and, you know,
00:57:20.940
fines and what have you. Can we have the quote that he allegedly said? I mean, no matter what it is,
00:57:29.820
whether it's a racial slur, whether it's something about his mother, I think we can handle it.
00:57:34.960
I don't think we'll need grief counseling, but I see it happening more and more, Dakota.
00:57:41.680
Yeah, actually, like that article we had flashed up, they were saying, Anand, you know, this minister,
00:57:46.580
this liberal politician said this about, you know, this quote, desecration of the tomb of the
00:57:51.520
own soldier. I feel like that's way too common in media these days, the legacy media especially,
00:57:56.580
is that they don't just report on what happened, they report on it from the lens of this is the
00:58:01.360
comment that this politician or this person in power made on it. So it's always through the lens,
00:58:07.600
through the perspective of this politician who's, of course, trying to win political points through
00:58:12.160
every comment or statement they make. So we always have that political lens being laid across these
00:58:17.660
news pieces. And it's so rare to actually just get a straight news item on this happened at this
00:58:22.340
place at this time. This is why these people are outraged about it. This is what these people have
00:58:26.420
to say rather than headline, ooh, you know, this politician commented on this happening.
00:58:31.880
And that's the lens through which you view it. I find that it happens way too often.
00:58:35.520
No, that's a good point. And if you are the CBC and their legacy media ilk, you don't bite the hand
00:58:42.340
that feeds you. So if the politician making the comment is a Justin Trudeau liberal cutting checks for you
00:58:48.140
to make sure your media organization stays alive, because if you had to, you know, compete in a,
00:58:54.920
you know, a capitalist society in which you're not subsidized by tax dollars, you'd fail.
00:59:03.220
Well, you really don't want to, you know, be too much of a muckraker, you know, Dakota, because like I
00:59:09.880
said, it's Papa Trudeau that's giving you those biscuits to stay alive. Do we have another
00:59:20.720
Exactly. Yeah. January 777 says, too much sewage under the bridge with CPC. We need complete change
00:59:29.680
other than libs slash CPC. Define insanity, doing the same thing over and over, expecting different
00:59:35.300
results. Too many red Tories inside CPC. You know, well, that is true, the red Tories inside the CPC.
00:59:43.200
But the other issue, though, is who is the head of the fish? And we had two weaklings in Scheer and
00:59:52.700
O'Toole. We have a street fighter in Pierre Polyev. He's been magnificent as a minister, I think.
00:59:59.320
So I think that's what counts most. And he'll steer that party. And you know what? If Pierre Polyev is
01:00:06.800
so toxic, as some people say, well, maybe these red Tories will just leave on their own accord.
01:00:12.480
We had sneaky Patrick Brown saying before he was booted out of the party, if he wins, I'm not a part
01:00:18.240
of the CPC. You know, who says that? Who? Like, can you believe how entitled and selfish this guy is
01:00:26.680
that this party should really be called me, myself and I? Because if that's not who's leading it,
01:00:32.020
I have nothing to do with it. What a creep. Yeah. Well, it's interesting how he said he
01:00:36.980
Patrick Brown could see himself working with any other leader but Pierre Polyev. I think it's
01:00:41.440
particularly because, you know, of course, there was so much animosity between them. But he just knew
01:00:45.680
that Polyev wouldn't, you know, wouldn't tolerate any of his scandal plagued BS, quite frankly,
01:00:52.480
in the party. So I think he just knew he had no hopes of any success in a conservative party led
01:00:58.320
by Pierre Polyev. And so he felt that, of course, making that statement is very appropriate because,
01:01:03.880
oh, of course, you know, I couldn't stand to let that extremist lead the party. I wouldn't lead.
01:01:08.260
But of course, he just knew that if Polyev won, he himself had no chances of getting anywhere in the
01:01:12.940
party. And, you know, as a sidebar to this story, Dakota, I want to get your opinion on it was in the
01:01:19.500
news cycle last week, but it stuck in my head for whatever reason. And it was reports of Justin Trudeau
01:01:28.100
actually contemplating a fall election. And what the only reason I could see that making sense in
01:01:38.880
his work mind is he's believing the media Kool-Aid of Pierre Polyev being an extremist. And he is
01:01:47.740
actually such a narcissist, as you described him aptly earlier, that he thinks with Polyev at the
01:01:54.960
helm, now is the time to strike. I personally feel that the best before date has come and gone with
01:02:01.940
this government. I also think that the NDP is no longer a credible party to denounce the Trudeau's
01:02:09.160
every day as the Trudeau liberals, rather, every day in the in the media, and then vote always to
01:02:16.060
back them up. That makes that party a joke, quite frankly. And I think if Trudeau has drunk that Kool-Aid,
01:02:24.480
he is in for a shock. Do you think there's any possibility that we could be seeing a fall election?
01:02:32.900
Honestly, I truly hope so, because it would be really something, because like these past two
01:02:37.700
elections, we have not had a real conservative leader leading the Conservative Party of Canada.
01:02:43.880
So if we can get someone who is a real conservative to lead the Conservative Party in another election
01:02:49.820
soon, I'm sure that would spell the end of Trudeau. I hope you're right as well. And for another reason,
01:02:56.480
it could be the ultimate revenge on Jagmeet Singh. Don't forget the reason I think he's agreed to
01:03:05.180
this extension till 2025. Well, you do the math. He was first elected 2019. 2025 is exactly six years.
01:03:12.940
That means he gets the full government pension kicks in, whether he wins or loses. And the possibility
01:03:20.660
for him being ousted, which was the whole idea of this coalition, he'd flip his lid, I would say.
01:03:28.260
So we'll see what happens in the weeks ahead. I hope you're right. Please, Justin, do it. Just do it,
01:03:35.580
as Nike says. Do we have another super chat there? Yes, we do.
01:03:40.600
Yeah. Frazbo, recently I read that Pierre Polyev and Harper are members of the WEF. If this is true,
01:03:46.720
it should be spread far and wide. Please check it out.
01:03:49.540
Yeah. And so that's been the common criticism since day one, that Pierre Polyev, oh, he's WEF,
01:03:54.740
he's World Economic Forum, and Harper as well. And I think Pierre Polyev has adequately addressed this
01:03:59.980
more than enough times of asking him point blank. There's no more you can do beyond asking him point
01:04:05.900
blank, are you WEF? Do you support WEF? And he's denounced them on multiple occasions. And he's gone
01:04:12.120
as far as saying that if he's elected prime minister, he would ban any member of his cabinet
01:04:17.880
or any, I think he said any sitting MPs, but at the very least, any members of his cabinet from
01:04:23.240
participating in the World Economic Forum at all. Yeah. Ban ministers and other top officials
01:04:26.780
from involvement. So, I mean, it doesn't get more clear than that. And if he backpedals on that,
01:04:31.740
that's a pretty extreme flip flop. But I mean, it seems clear enough. And my thoughts on Stephen
01:04:36.740
Harper being World Economic Forum, I think you can certainly see videos of Stephen Harper participating
01:04:44.160
with World Economic Forum. He was definitely involved. In my mind, I imagine he may have just
01:04:49.060
simply been naive to the true intentions or identity of the World Economic Forum. The idea of global
01:04:55.340
cooperation, especially back when Stephen Harper was prime minister, it seems like, oh, yeah,
01:04:59.420
this coalition of, you know, leaders getting together to promote, you know, multilateralism
01:05:05.320
and global cooperation. I'm not sure Harper was really tuned in during his time as prime minister
01:05:10.540
to what the World Economic Forum would become. That's just my sort of speculation personally. But
01:05:15.940
hey, I don't know. I couldn't really tell you for sure.
01:05:19.160
No, I kind of agree with you, Dakota. I mean, I have a book back in my library at home.
01:05:23.820
Uh, it's, uh, got the photograph of the Ford Pinto on it. And the name of the book is
01:05:30.400
looked good on paper. So, uh, sometimes you, uh, get all vested into something or you're all in on
01:05:38.700
something that looks good on paper. And then you find out that, uh, well, in reality, as was the case
01:05:45.560
with the, uh, the original Ford Pinto, uh, you didn't want to get into a fender bender, uh, with that
01:05:50.940
vehicle. Um, and, uh, you make a, uh, uh, another decision. Well, Stephen Harper is out of politics,
01:05:57.460
but you showed Pierre Paulie have making that statement. And, uh, again, I go back to what I
01:06:04.120
said at the beginning, as long as Pierre Paulie have comes as advertised Dakota, I really like what
01:06:09.760
I see. Exactly. And I feel like your choice ultimately comes down to the one who's saying
01:06:15.920
he is going to do this good stuff and maybe he back pedals on it and completely flip-flops and
01:06:20.180
that'll be terrible. Or do you elect someone who is not saying any of this and is guaranteed to not
01:06:25.120
go through with it? So, you know, you can roll the dice with someone like Pierre Paulie have,
01:06:28.620
or you can just go for certain death by, you know, WEF policies. So that's the way I see it.
01:06:37.200
And sojourner $1. The only way I would vote for a CPC leader is if they publicly denounce the UN
01:06:46.120
2030 agenda that Mulroney signed and the party has held to ever since. To me, that's when the CPC died.
01:06:53.300
Hmm. Well, you know what? That's a good point. I guess, um, next time we bump into Pierre Paulie,
01:07:00.320
we should ask him that question. Will you denounce, uh, that, uh, UN, uh, 2030 agenda? It's amazing.
01:07:07.800
Everything is 2030 is now the new doomsday, isn't it? Uh, Dakota, uh, the previous one was 2012. It was
01:07:16.200
the, uh, the Mayans predicting 500 years ago that the world was going to end. Uh, they couldn't see their
01:07:22.500
own world ending in the here and now with Spanish conquistadors sailing into their territory, but
01:07:28.300
I digress. But, um, and that is, um, I must say it's a funny thing about Pierre Paulie. He, he was on,
01:07:35.860
uh, a Jordan Peterson podcast and he was talking about his, um, you know, how he, uh, admired the
01:07:43.400
mainstream media. And yet we cannot get him to sit down for a scheduled interview. Uh, I would love
01:07:51.180
that Ezra would love that anyone on our staff would love that, but by the same token, he doesn't run
01:07:56.720
away from us. Like you bumped into him in a parking lot, I think, but he, he answered a couple of your
01:08:02.180
questions. It was very brief, but he didn't run away. He didn't stick security on you. So it's,
01:08:08.640
um, you know, this is a little perturbing to me, Dakota, because if you do have admiration for the
01:08:15.040
mainstream media, um, and if you look at who... Sorry, to correct you, David, you're saying
01:08:20.220
mainstream media, I believe you mean... Oh, sorry, independent media. Thank God you, uh, I would
01:08:25.820
hate to that to exist on public record. Uh, it would be the end of my reputation. But if, if that is the
01:08:31.300
case, come on, sit down and have an interview. Uh, he's a great debater. Uh, it's not going to be
01:08:36.660
a gotcha kind of thing. I mean, we're going to give him hard questions. Uh, but I would like to see
01:08:41.640
that happen. Mm-hmm. Yeah, absolutely. Any, any more chats here? Yes. Oh, yes. AMT 60. I've heard
01:08:51.280
that Pierre was part of the WEF earlier, but his pick scrubbed from WF site. He talks about freedom
01:08:57.360
and I like his message, but I hope he's being honest. Roman's great, but not the same charisma.
01:09:02.780
Mm-hmm. Yeah, you know, and, uh, but to Roman's, um, credit, uh, last week he did give an interview
01:09:10.380
to our, uh, beloved colleague, Sheila Gunn-Reed. So if Roman can do it, Pierre certainly can.
01:09:17.440
It's true. Yeah, it's a great interview. I highly recommend checking it out. It's got
01:09:20.900
some good ideas, good stuff, and yeah, giving him credit. He will sit down with us for a good
01:09:25.100
talk. And I do like everything Roman Babers saying. I think he's on the money on most of
01:09:29.220
his policy points. Yep. I agree. Adam Ottawa back again. If bugs are the answer, why aren't
01:09:37.700
they pushing them onto clients of food banks put their words to the test?
01:09:42.580
Wow. Isn't that a great, you know, Adam Ottawa, I got to tell you, you're hitting it out of the
01:09:48.160
ballpark today. Um, yeah. Uh, or would that be elitist just getting our own domestic poor,
01:09:55.260
much like the third world net nations poor, uh, eat bugs? I, you know, that sounds like a caper.
01:10:02.360
Um, I'm just worried about maybe receiving a violent reaction coming over to homeless people
01:10:09.680
and offering them bugs. But, um, yeah, that is an amazing point. Uh, I wonder if we put that
01:10:18.780
to the likes of, uh, John Tory and whoever runs the food bank system in Toronto, what their answer
01:10:25.260
would be to that Dakota. Yeah. I will say, don't you worry soon enough, those at food banks will be
01:10:30.860
eating the bugs because we will all be eating the bugs. The only thing we'll be able to donate to
01:10:35.200
the food banks will be our own bug food products. So it'll happen soon enough not to worry. Wow. Well,
01:10:41.540
we'll, we'll keep our eye on that one. Frasbo donates $1. The trouble with being old is I remember
01:10:49.300
just a few years ago, restaurants would be closed if you found a bug in your soup. Well, you know,
01:10:55.220
Frasbo, that's a great, uh, statement. Um, we're going to have to rewrite that classical joke,
01:11:01.180
uh, waiter, there's a fly in my soup. And the response from the waiter is, Oh, I didn't notice,
01:11:06.500
sir. That's going to be an extra dollar for the added protein. Yeah, exactly.
01:11:11.740
Ooh. Polato Newman says that distant popping sound you hear is all the heads on Wellington
01:11:22.640
street exploding after hearing Stephen Harper's endorsement of Pierre Poliav.
01:11:27.480
I know, which to me is, um, you know, a badge of honor. If you're having, uh, those on the left,
01:11:36.620
uh, having a mental meltdown, uh, couldn't be happier. Absolutely. Twinks gives us $2. Remember
01:11:47.440
Bill Gates is money behind WF and UN policies on depopulation buying farmland also to turn it into
01:11:54.940
UN agenda natural land while millions starve. They want to get rid of 7 billion people. According to
01:12:01.700
the agenda, 7 billion, we've only got about 8 billion. That's well, as Kathleen Wynne would say,
01:12:10.340
the ex premier of Ontario, I think that's a stretch goal. Yeah, but no doubt Bill Gates is,
01:12:17.180
is tied right at right in bed with all these nice big globalist orgs. No doubt.
01:12:22.020
January 7, 7, 7, 7 gives us $1 and says, David, I agree with your head of the fish comment in my
01:12:33.620
business. A bean counter in charge has always crashed and burned. The CBC needs a ground up
01:12:39.380
manager like Rowan Babber. Still no more lib slash CPC. Well, you know what? Uh, January, uh, triple
01:12:46.840
seven, you raise a good point. Um, I, I don't think Roman Babber is going to become the leader
01:12:52.280
of the conservative party, but who's to say he's not going to run as an MP, uh, in a writing and,
01:12:58.840
uh, maybe even be part of, uh, a cabinet. And I think, uh, we're better off for that.
01:13:08.600
Yeah, I agree with you. I do like, you know, like you're saying we have some great candidates
01:13:12.360
in the leadership and I would love to see like, if you know, so I do believe Pierre is going to
01:13:17.240
get elected as leader. He is running, he's a front runner with such a margin. Like I'd love to see
01:13:21.840
the likes of Leslie Lewis and Roman Babber actually be in the cabinet. I think that would be such a
01:13:26.640
great, you know, team actually to provide some real leadership and direction for our country.
01:13:31.500
I don't know. I'd be excited about seeing that. Yeah. I think the only two that wouldn't sign on
01:13:36.420
willingly, well, one is gone, uh, sneaky Patrick Brown and the other is John Charest. Uh,
01:13:41.800
no loss as far as I'm concerned. Yeah, exactly. And that is it at all. Okay then. Well, Dakota,
01:13:50.200
thank you so much for, uh, substituting for the she devil. She is covering an important, uh, court,
01:13:56.600
uh, matter in Alberta right now, I understand. And I want to thank the team behind the board,
01:14:02.680
Olivia, Efren, and Danny. And of course, I want to thank our audience for tuning in,
01:14:08.360
especially those who made those generous donations. It's how we keep things humming here.
01:14:14.760
And, uh, tomorrow there will be two other rebel news reporters doing the live stream.
01:14:20.520
So until Sheila and I reunite on Thursday, as always, folks stay sane for the fourth dose,
01:14:28.760
same thing. If you're, if you're, uh, you know, over age 50, if you have underlying medical conditions,
01:14:33.240
immune compromised, then, then certainly consider that fourth dose. The other thing that we need to
01:14:37.960
consider is that in early fall, um, there's a, a real chance of a, a biovalent vaccine, um, that we
01:14:45.880
begin a, uh, our fall campaign with that is going to be, um, very likely, uh, more effective against the,
01:14:52.920
the newer, uh, variants that we're dealing with. And because there's going to be a three to six month
01:14:57.880
interval between doses, a large fourth dose campaign right now could potentially delay the receipt of
01:15:03.800
a much, uh, um, uh, possibly better, uh, vaccine and, and fall. So a lot of variables there.
