good afternoon ladies and gentlemen you have tuned into the rebel news live stream on this
00:00:20.980
a tuesday june the 15th 2021 i'm david menzies and my co-host ah my co-host she's a little bit
00:00:29.180
sassy and a whole lot feisty she is the she-devil with the sword she is the khaleesi of northern
00:00:35.960
alberta she is sheila gun reed how you doing there sheila i have to turn down the audio before you
00:00:45.260
start screaming my name i'm doing great david i hope you had a great weekend uh i hope you had a
00:00:52.940
little time off i know you work just i mean religiously all weekend since the beginning of
00:00:58.240
the pandemic every single weekend you and the rest of the team are out there um fighting for freedom
00:01:02.940
and documenting in more instances than not the misdeeds of the police all across the country
00:01:09.040
well you know what sheila you are right i i think since the pandemic i have had i've counted them i
00:01:14.460
think three weekends off and i am not complaining i would rather be overworked than underworked
00:01:22.700
my goodness gracious during this last year and a half the misery i have seen out there in terms of
00:01:28.800
people losing their jobs i mean even if you're getting the serb just the idea of staying at home
00:01:34.020
trying to while away the time when i go down young street and other areas of the city sheila
00:01:39.180
the closed businesses that are never coming back it breaks my heart because that was somebody's dream
00:01:45.920
and they were working so and i am talking about businesses sheila this is very important this
00:01:51.580
wasn't some crazy startup that never had a hope in hades that the business plan was doomed from the
00:01:59.020
start these are businesses like the pickle barrel grand they were they were going to celebrate in
00:02:04.260
february their 40th anniversary four decades in the restaurant business that's incredible gone
00:02:10.920
and uh and to think just a year before 2020 2019 when the rafters were going all the way to the finals
00:02:18.400
you'd see people overflowing outside the restaurant outside the patio just to get a glimpse of the screen
00:02:24.940
wow just in the space of a year how much everything has changed so uh if there is news and and it tends
00:02:34.060
to be sheila that the news is on the weekends that that's when the anti-lockdown protests happen
00:02:40.120
that's when the illegal church services happen and while the mainstream media would rather sit that
00:02:46.340
one out and pretend it's not happening and that's what they've been doing they have been missing so
00:02:51.660
much so much real news well we go out there so um i would gladly give up any kind of r and r to bring
00:02:59.480
the news to our folks and i'm very grateful to be in this job 100 yeah if they're not completely
00:03:05.900
ignoring the news they're spinning it in such a way that makes you sick yeah you know it gives you
00:03:11.040
vertigo and nausea because they're just spinning so hard um like when they call um pastors who are
00:03:18.360
defying the lockdown in obedience to god they'll call them scofflaws like like they're shoplifters
00:03:25.580
or something i mean it's just so ridiculous um and you know they don't like us in the mainstream media
00:03:31.480
and that's fine oftentimes the feeling is mutual but more often than not i care so little about
00:03:37.860
what they're doing because i'm too busy actually doing the news that i i don't pay attention to a
00:03:43.220
lot of it and i don't take their criticism of me personally because i feel like a lot of it is
00:03:47.760
jealousy um we are pretty free to talk about whatever we want to talk about here at rebel news
00:03:53.240
and fight for the causes that matter to us and for them um even i think the ones that are more
00:03:59.080
right-leaning and and more freedom oriented they have to go through assignment editors
00:04:04.700
um who are completely fundamentally in favor of the lockdowns and business closures and arresting
00:04:13.540
pastors and all those sorts of things so that was a long-winded way of saying as long as they remain
00:04:19.920
terrible you and i will have job security for as long as we want oh i sure hope so sheila and one thing
00:04:25.860
you said there that i want to pick up on the jealousy uh part of it i've heard our beloved
00:04:31.320
boss ezreal event say that too that he thinks part of the reason why we get that resentment is our
00:04:37.780
freedom our freedom to report our freedom to get the other side of the story something that the
00:04:43.640
mainstream media used to do before it became the praetorian guard of the government and the bureaucracy
00:04:49.460
in so many cases and i think there are people who um just look upon what we're doing the stories that
00:04:57.460
we're breaking the kind of coverage we're uh producing and they're saying you know i know
00:05:03.720
about this story but i've got handcuffs on my my higher-ups won't let me report this that's how it
00:05:10.500
works these days folks in the news business make no mistake about it it's a chain of command and
00:05:15.640
sometimes the reporters you see on the floor they're just getting messages in their earpiece
00:05:20.460
of how to uh deliver the narrative yeah and i feel kind of bad for some of the older journalists who
00:05:31.000
they went through journalism school if they did it all through uh a time when it wasn't so social
00:05:38.160
justice oriented they were you know they they went through journalism school when the idea of journalism
00:05:44.800
was to hold politicians and powerful people accountable and to speak the truth and to speak
00:05:50.380
truth to power and now it's completely the opposite what they seem to do is they hold the people and
00:05:58.740
the public and the little guy to account on behalf of the politicians how many stories do we see
00:06:04.500
about uh justin trudeau or some powerful women in politics getting mean tweets you know you're and
00:06:13.600
chasing down grandmas who sent them who cares who cares yeah you're you're so right uh sheila i i think
00:06:21.360
the slogan of the toronto star for decades was uh we're here to comfort the afflicted and afflict the
00:06:28.100
comfortable and that seems to have gone complete role reversal because the comfortable are well they're
00:06:35.520
the people in government cutting checks for the toronto star and their other brother and ezra made
00:06:40.640
another great point too that surely makes justin trudeau smile he can barely contain a smile when
00:06:47.020
he's talking about the train seals in the mainstream media and that is for 595 million dollars
00:06:56.080
which in the grand scheme of things in in terms of the silicon valley tech giants and whatnot sheila
00:07:03.680
is really chump change he bought them off he bought off the newspapers for for just over half a billion dollars
00:07:12.740
oh wow it's about the deal of the century yeah they went cheap didn't they in a country of you know
00:07:22.720
approaching 40 million uh we think of ourselves as a modern grown-up country and yet our entire news media
00:07:30.320
could be bought off for a little over half a billion dollars wow yeah and uh and of course they
00:07:38.520
want more and they are now advertising um front page you know they're using the front pages of their
00:07:46.580
newspapers i'm talking about the post media chain here which is the biggest um with um those bizarre
00:07:52.920
letters sheila have you seen them they're addressed to justin trudeau it's half begging and half admonishment
00:07:59.440
oh you said you were gonna give us more it's like the media is this oliver twist collective
00:08:07.600
with their empty porridge bowl up to the liberal party asking for more money it's like they have no
00:08:14.760
shame you stole the words right out of my mouth i was gonna say oliver twist except entitled and that
00:08:21.200
you know like they they're they're begging but they also feel entitled and they're offended
00:08:27.020
because justin trudeau hasn't given them enough of somebody else's money who wasn't willing to pay
00:08:35.660
for them in the first place nobody is buying your garbage nobody and so instead of doing something to
00:08:43.040
fix the reason nobody's buying your garbage you're making justin trudeau give money from the people who
00:08:51.640
refuse to buy your product you know you're so right sheila it's an entitled oliver twist you'd have to
00:08:57.680
uh change the phrase to read please sir i want more caviar yeah speaking of uh other people's money
00:09:07.200
and taking money from justin trudeau we'll never do that and that's why i want to tell you where you
00:09:12.100
can find us today um and how you can support the work that we do um of your own free will we're not
00:09:18.260
going to have some politician snatch your hard-earned money uh so you can give it to us if you want to
00:09:23.340
give it to us uh please that'd be great because we've got a lot of work to do and a lot of stories
00:09:28.900
to tell um right now we are currently streaming on the censorship platform of youtube and i call it
00:09:35.100
the censorship platform of youtube because uh they have completely demonetized us and so if you do
00:09:41.760
incidentally see an ad in front of our content that's youtube taking all the proceeds of that um
00:09:47.680
and they don't allow for super chats anymore but we are on youtube still kind of for spite but kind of
00:09:55.520
so that people can find us there uh and we don't want to abandon the nearly 1.5 million subscribers
00:10:01.980
that we have there right now however we'd love it if you would migrate away from the censorship
00:10:09.780
platform over to a platform that doesn't hate you because i don't even care if a platform likes me
00:10:14.980
i just don't want them to actively hate me and so over on rumble is where we are also right now
00:10:22.480
uh streaming on rumble you can watch us live there um you can also watch us live on super you and on
00:10:28.660
super you you can do something called a super you shout so you can um interact with some people who
00:10:34.560
are watching at the same time sort of that thing that you like about youtube but again super you
00:10:38.260
doesn't hate you and over on odyssey now on odyssey you can do something else too besides leave a chat
00:10:45.440
you can support the work that we do completely willingly by buying some of odyssey's cryptocurrency
00:10:53.780
it's called a library um and you can donate some of that to us and uh we'll read your comment on air
00:11:02.140
and it's a great way to support us and support these up and coming platforms who apparently care
00:11:07.580
deeply about free speech and not about your politics what a concept day sheila and you know
00:11:13.580
without further ado why don't we go to the top story i think and and i got to say sheila and maybe
00:11:19.980
this is a a preamble warning some of this content i found disturbing i think when you see children
00:11:27.840
crying as their father is taken away and in a police cruiser not for any kind of real crime like
00:11:37.600
assault or murder or or rape or what have you but for preaching the gospel men uh i i don't know what
00:11:47.040
these calgary police are made of that they they can carry out this little jihad uh when they go about
00:11:54.900
uh resting um uh preachers but of course turn a blind eye to the elite politicians at the uh what's
00:12:02.320
it called the sky palace you know wow what a fitting name a palace up in the sky it doesn't get any more
00:12:10.140
visual than that in any event um folks uh like i said it's uh it's a little cringy and disturbing
00:12:18.120
when you see uh this video and thankfully uh our man adam was on the scene uh to record it because
00:12:26.040
you're not going to see it on any of the other mainstream news platforms as sheila and i discussed
00:12:30.620
before so here is the latest chapter in the saga of pastor tim rebel news and i'm outside of the home
00:12:38.000
of pastor tim stevens pastor tim was once again taken into custody numerous police vehicles arrived and
00:12:44.240
put him in a car taking him away from his families it was an extremely emotional and harrowing ordeal
00:12:50.100
and we were there to capture it as it happened i'm going to let you go now to the footage of his arrest
00:12:55.460
served okay and then you had that gathering on june the 6th yeah okay so that's where you're under
00:13:01.840
arrest for for breaking that for disobeying that order all right can you tell me how that order
00:13:07.740
actually applies to me you were served with it and then there was a gathering one of them basically
00:13:13.220
it says it was a gathering so but the order listed chris scott um and those who worked with him and i
00:13:20.660
have no association with the whistle stop cafe or anybody who works with them do you have the order
00:13:25.680
with you but it's anybody i don't have the actual order with me okay okay so the investigators that
00:13:30.920
dealt with it have have done that and then i have the order that's basically on um just on our cad so
00:13:39.160
i don't actually have a print on it and i just have the affidavit that you were actually served
00:13:42.480
so these are the laws that everyone in canada basically has agreed to abide by
00:13:46.440
right jason kenny can have his dinner up in the sky palace and no one's coming to his house to take
00:13:51.040
him to jail you know what it's like i said it has nothing to do with with that i'm dealing with this
00:13:58.820
right and every every police officer i talk to you they all say same thing i'm just doing my job
00:14:03.280
to see my job okay but every single one of us like me included my parents go to church they've
00:14:09.840
been doing church online we've been basically been abiding by all these orders that we don't like them
00:14:14.540
right but right now it's the laws that they basically laid out before us if we don't like
00:14:19.920
them we have a system where we can vote we can change governments we can do those things but right
00:14:25.080
now this is the government that we have and we're hired to uphold those laws that basically the
00:14:31.280
general public the majority of people have voted can i ask you what's the highest law of our land
00:14:35.700
what is the highest law of our land yeah what's the highest law of our land by which all the laws
00:14:41.040
are tested it's our it's our charter of rights and freedoms yes and end of that law all citizens
00:14:46.540
of canada are granted religious freedom freedom association expression and do we not still have
00:14:51.520
that like if they told you cannot i can't assemble i can't have people in my home i can't express
00:14:57.180
myself i have to wear a mask so yeah so all those rights are being suppressed and we've tried to
00:15:02.160
bring court action and it still hasn't been heard in court 15 months later okay and it's not until
00:15:06.660
the end of september and he's not unprecedented in times when it comes to certain things no it's not
00:15:10.980
you know you may not believe it right but well i do believe it but if you if you look out there
00:15:15.720
it's not i know it's not a black plague right in my god it doesn't seem like it doesn't but maybe
00:15:20.660
maybe the steps that we have taken have not like overwhelmed the health care system i don't know
00:15:24.460
right but like i said i'm not the person who wrote the law i know you know
00:15:28.940
this is this is incredible it's incredible you know they could they can they can have their
00:15:38.000
gathering in the sky palace and yet a pastor who gathers for church outside is being arrested
00:15:43.020
yeah you know because because the rules certainly don't apply to everyone equally and they're not
00:15:49.660
enforced to everyone equally like why is it only why is it pastors that keep getting arrested for this
00:15:54.260
and and if you have parents who who go to church or you understand that our lord jesus christ
00:16:00.360
actually commands us to gather and to meet and he also told us wherever two or three are gathered
00:16:04.320
there he is in the midst of us so we don't need a huge gatherer if you want to talk about that
00:16:07.440
we're not talking about that right now we're just doing our job okay so and if you hadn't
00:16:13.540
basically broken the order or the rules that are set out right now i wouldn't be here
00:16:18.400
right do i want to be here no right yes and when and when laws are unjust and it's incumbent upon
00:16:27.060
those who are righteous we have to stand up and say no we have one of the best systems in the world
00:16:30.600
that we can we can vote you're putting pastors in jail we can change laws like that's not the best
00:16:34.340
who's right now sorry who's putting pastor in jail you are right now i mean i'm doing my job by taking
00:16:41.060
him but then this morning i'll call the constitution constitution i i i dress people for theft i rest
00:16:49.180
people whenever they break the law this is a rule and the law in the land right now so i have to arrest
00:16:55.920
your husband when i arrest someone for theft i don't want to arrest that person and deal with them
00:16:59.880
but if they break a law that i'm basically sworn to uphold i have to arrest him so what so the actions
00:17:06.840
that's ever broken these no but it's the same that's the same yes i've broken rules you have
00:17:12.380
too of course i have so why are you not under threat of arrest right now okay so this is the
00:17:16.600
same logic we get whenever i pull someone over for speeding they're like well that person just sped by
00:17:20.420
why didn't you arrest them i can't so right now i'm dealing with your husband your husband's actions
00:17:25.080
have put me in this position where i am acting what i'm sworn to do so you aren't ever going to be in
00:17:30.800
this position but you can continue to break them as well i don't understand you're chasing but so
00:17:36.980
so the public health order do you understand do you understand why i'm here i do okay so and my
00:17:42.200
do you know what my job is yes yes so am i doing my job no one's questioning that you're not doing
00:17:48.260
your job i know so that's what i'm doing so your husband has agreed to come with he knows that he's
00:17:52.500
basically i'm talking about the ethics of arresting someone for breaking public health guidelines
00:17:58.300
it's gone beyond that that you also break them no you asked if i you asked if i broke you just
00:18:04.240
asked us if i've broken other rules and laws of course i have every single one here not one of us
00:18:09.120
is perfect again do you know somebody who's perfect the lord jesus yes is he here right now no no and
00:18:16.880
we're all supposed to basically attribute and go by him and like even god said you know give on to
00:18:21.900
caesar what is caesar's right so we're not going to give this philosophy and the gathering of the
00:18:26.140
church is not caesar's no it's not right but again a lot of other people are suffering and a lot of
00:18:31.320
other people are abiding by the rules by meeting online do you have things meeting in smaller groups
00:18:35.500
that they're allowed to right you can bring up the premier if you want right and that's something he's
00:18:40.180
going to have to answer to too whether the people who vote for him are going to say get out of here
00:18:43.840
but that's our system we want a civil system because i'm not you're you haven't got orders to do it
00:18:49.960
and you know you guys honestly the sooner that we go the sooner you get back to your family
00:18:55.000
yeah well no he's already with us yeah yes but he has to go
00:19:00.300
the sooner you go the sooner you guys guys come here come get me come get me out here
00:19:53.520
God, we just do pray that you thank you to build your church through this time, giving yourself glory.
00:20:12.720
I'm going to put you back in my pocket right there.
00:20:17.400
So before I put you in the back, put your hands on the side of the carp.
00:20:45.400
So nothing sharp, nothing basically at all in your pocket, there's nothing we need to worry about?
00:21:37.400
When they talk about the validity of those things, they punted and they just say, did you break the order? Now go to jail.
00:21:43.400
But they won't even discuss the validity of any of those orders.
00:21:46.400
And when you say that there's an opportunity to go through the legal means, we're 15, 16 months into this and they have yet to provide anything in court.
00:21:56.400
That's not like a delayed access to justice is not just at all.
00:22:00.400
Yeah, it's frustrating. Absolutely it's frustrating.
00:22:06.400
And do you have a means to speak about those kinds of frustrations?
00:22:11.400
If my personal beliefs were the same as yours, then I would absolutely speak on that behalf.
00:22:15.400
No other jurisdiction is imprisoning pastors for breaking health orders.
00:22:24.400
I would say continue the course that you're continuing on.
00:22:32.400
Will you arrest me and take me away from them too?
00:22:40.400
If you feel that strongly about it, just stay the course, okay?
00:22:51.400
Follow through on what you can and what you feel is right, okay?
00:23:00.400
Can you guys share maybe why Jason Kenney gets a free pass and you're arresting pastors
00:23:06.400
Any comment, any emotion for this family whatsoever?
00:23:08.400
No, you're just going to drive off just like that.
00:23:26.400
Don't block the car though, so they don't get too long.
00:23:33.400
She happens to know what just like it, she's terrible looking for was actually,
00:23:36.400
questi group who better than hot meal used for milk or protein.
00:24:25.580
You know, I couldn't help but notice on those Calgary police SUVs,
00:24:34.100
I don't know if that's the traditional definition of pride
00:24:37.020
or they've just got pride there for gay pride month right now.
00:24:45.980
where he named Staff Sergeant McLean the worst cop in Canada.
00:25:04.160
you know, the bald police officer, the guy in charge,
00:25:10.960
but the condescending way he was treating this pastor.
00:25:35.740
But, why don't we get an answer to that question?
00:25:42.060
Jason Kenney and all his elite pals at the Sky Palace?
00:25:59.780
and he was all about religious freedom the world over,
00:26:18.400
I hope that that is a campaign ad against Jason Kenney.
