Transcript
00:00:00.000
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, you have tuned into the Daily Roundup on this
00:00:19.920
a Tuesday, April 25th, 2023. I'm David Menzies and my co-host, well, let me tell you a little
00:00:27.860
bit about my co-host. Do you know, folks, today is National Library Workers Day and before she
00:00:34.640
drove all the way into Toronto, my co-host went to the Coburg Library to wish the library workers
00:00:42.120
greetings on their National Day and that included the head librarian, of course, the receptionist
00:00:47.880
and the drag queen. She is the she-devil with a spatula. She is the Khaleesi of the greater Coburg
00:00:55.260
area. She is Tamara Ugolini. Welcome. What an honor. Yeah, thanks, David. I always appreciate
00:01:01.120
your tall tales there of library visits. I feel like it wasn't long ago that it was National,
00:01:07.820
was it Librarians Day? It wasn't long ago that there was another National Library Day.
00:01:14.060
Yeah, it's kind of like the LGBT community because I think just recently there was the
00:01:21.420
Lesbian Day visibility in April and I'm thinking, well, aren't they part of Pride Day, which became
00:01:28.460
Pride Week, which became Pride Month and now, according to Sheila Gunn-Reed, is Pride season.
00:01:33.880
Soon it'll be Pride year, I guess. Pride generation. Yeah, and I guess there's Earth Hour, there's Earth
00:01:39.900
Day. I'm sure they're working on some other thing. By the way, there's another day on the calendar
00:01:46.240
today, which I thought was interesting. National Hug a Plumber Day. I guess the whole Me Too thing,
00:01:53.920
it hasn't come to the plumbing industry. Those poor plumbers, be prepared.
00:01:59.060
You know what? I wish, I'm telling you, if this journalism shtick ever dried up and, you know what,
00:02:05.880
with AI being what it is, maybe we're about to be replaced by kinder, gentler Terminators in the near
00:02:12.640
future. But I wish I had the skills to be a plumber, to be an altrician. And I tell that to
00:02:20.720
people, you know, don't put your kids in the university taking crazy bird courses like gender
00:02:26.740
studies. Go to the trades. There's so much money there. The trades are begging for great workers.
00:02:33.600
If I had to do it all over again, that's where I'd go. I mean, we had our longtime employee,
00:02:38.920
Brian, a couple of years ago, he left to become an altrician. And I thought that was fantastic. I
00:02:44.520
signed his farewell card. I said, dear Brian, please, when you're working with electrical
00:02:50.980
appliances and whatnot, do not get electrocuted. But if you do get electrocuted, I hope you don't die
00:02:58.780
and instead become like the Spider-Man villain, electoral. Yeah.
00:03:02.580
There you go. All the villains. Well, you heard of your first, ladies and gentlemen, David Menzies
00:03:07.200
in a past life would have been a plumber or electrician. Yes. All right. So if you're just
00:03:13.180
tuning in from home, we're not going to discuss David's pet projects and his school wishes, how he
00:03:21.060
would have deviated from his journalistic path, which I'm sure all of our viewers at home are so
00:03:26.560
happy that you set forth on to. But this is our daily live stream where we dissect some news of
00:03:34.240
the day and some of our own stories. And for anyone joining us at home, you're probably watching us on
00:03:39.720
one of I think it's five different platforms that we stream on. So YouTube, where we have a massive
00:03:45.480
following there, despite the fact that they have completely demonetized us. And really, we kind of
00:03:51.960
teeter on that fine line of being deplatformed completely. We have to unfortunately self-censor
00:03:58.080
if we want to stay on YouTube. But we're also on Rumble, Odyssey, Twitter, and Getter. And so
00:04:07.580
because YouTube's demonetized us, you can only engage with us directly on Rumble and Odyssey
00:04:15.440
through hyper chat or a super chat. And so that's a fun way for you to give us a small
00:04:21.520
monetary donation of $5 or more. And then we will read your comment on screen. And maybe it's a tip
00:04:27.440
or you want to get our feedback or just banter with us. So head on over to one of those other
00:04:33.400
platforms. If you're not there already, send us a little super chat because it helps fund our
00:04:39.380
independent journalism. And much like the state broadcaster, all of our mainstream media, we don't
00:04:46.080
take a dime from the government. And so other than having to self-censor a little bit to stay on
00:04:51.680
certain platforms, we're allowed to report on whatever we, following the facts, wherever they
00:04:58.080
may lead. And so that's what we do. I am so astonished at how you remember all that. And you
00:05:04.480
know, whenever I hear Getter, I always say to myself, good thing it wasn't called Grabber. Because I think
00:05:10.380
of that poor fellow in the East Coast, his actual surname, folks, is Grabber. And he had a vanity
00:05:16.820
plate stating that for like 20 years. And then one complaint came in thinking that his surname,
00:05:24.140
Grabber, meant grab her, speaking of me too. And they took it away from him. I mean, this is the
00:05:30.680
censorious world we live in. And which leads us to our topic, because I know we have to be careful when
00:05:37.700
it comes to anything vaccine related, because the great gargoyles of YouTube might give us the whammy
00:05:46.760
if we say something incorrect in terms of a thought crime. But I see, oh, goodness gracious,
00:05:55.140
Tamara, blackface, he's at it again. He's going on about misinformation and disinformation. This is the
00:06:01.780
guy. I've lost track of the scandals. The We Charity, the Trudeau Foundation, Chinese interference,
00:06:09.340
allegedly in our elections, SNC-Lavalin, Jody Wilson-Raybould. I mean,
00:06:15.620
Oh, yeah. Like I said, I've lost track. You know, it's like I need a scorecard. But yeah, he's going on
00:06:24.920
about misinformation and disinformation vis-a-vis information surrounding the vaccines. Let's
00:06:31.720
see what blackface has to say and try to make sense of it all. Oh, gosh. Good luck.
00:06:40.060
We're in perpetual load. Oh, it's the wheel of death. Well, you know what? I'll tell you,
00:06:46.540
maybe that's a gift. When blackface is censored by the tech gremlins, who am I to complain? Oh,
00:06:56.600
I think we got it now. Here you go. Well, if someone looks outside and says it's a beautiful
00:07:02.160
blue sky, sunny day today, we would know that's wrong because our experience here in Ottawa,
00:07:10.560
our experience looking out the window tells us otherwise.
00:07:13.120
We experienced it differently. But if someone says the earth is flat,
00:07:19.480
you can see extensive YouTube pages devoted by people who've decided, and this is a recent
00:07:27.720
phenomenon over the past decade or so, that the earth is flat because their experience as they
00:07:32.860
look out to the horizon is, boy, the earth sure looks flat. So it can't just be about perception.
00:07:38.680
You look on the weather channel. Oh, it's raining in Ottawa. Okay. So it's not a blue sky, sunny day.
00:07:43.120
We have to agree that we're going to agree with the weather channel on this or with the
00:07:48.680
scientists from Environment Canada who are saying that it is sunny today in Ottawa, or it is rainy
00:07:55.100
here today in Ottawa. There has to be an acceptance that there are experts out there that create
00:08:03.220
a basis of fact that was built up on in generations to tell us that water is wet and it freezes at zero
00:08:16.380
degrees Celsius. There are scientific realities that have been proven and accepted. And the challenge
00:08:24.960
that we have now is that increasingly misinformation and disinformation is carrying people to believe
00:08:33.920
things that are untrue. And vaccinations is a perfect example of it.
00:08:40.840
Yeah. Oh, Tamara, is that not rich? Blackface lecturing us on disinformation and misinformation.
00:08:52.980
And one of his examples is vaccines. And I know you've got lots to say about that, but I got to ask
00:08:59.780
you a question. Given that delivery, and I know he's a former part-time drama teacher, was he auditioning
00:09:05.440
there for the host of Romper Room? I felt like this was a junior kindergarten teacher lecturing the little
00:09:14.260
kids in the classroom on blue skies and a sunny day. I mean, that was embarrassing.
00:09:22.040
It really was. It's coming from the government who, you know, espoused this claim as safe and effective and
00:09:27.020
now is slowly trying to backpedal on the fact that they incentivized people to go out and get this
00:09:35.340
vaccine when really their incentivization was straight up coercion because they stole people's
00:09:43.760
gainful employment, stole away their ability to get EI, so employment insurance for anyone who was
00:09:52.660
found to be in non-compliance with a workplace safety mandate, i.e. the COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
00:10:00.240
So it's really funny to see because we have the receipts. We actually have all of the clips where
00:10:06.540
Trudeau espoused very segregationist rhetoric about who is and is not vaccinated and who is and isn't
00:10:15.120
putting people at risk. I mean, he even went so far as to say, don't you dare think that you can get
00:10:21.380
out on a plane, a train or I think he said automobile and put my children at risk. The rhetoric espoused by
00:10:30.880
Trudeau when he campaigned on the COVID-19 wedge issue of vaccination was astounding to see from an
00:10:41.280
apparently Democratic leader. But now they're backpedaling completely and pretending like none of
00:10:46.860
that stuff happened. Actually, we have the next clip here is that Trudeau says he didn't force
00:10:56.140
Like any modern bit of medical advancements, there are potential side effects in vaccinations.
00:11:11.460
And there are people who've probably gotten very sick from vaccinations on the billions of people
00:11:17.340
who've been vaccinated against COVID over the past few years. But there are far more people who
00:11:23.940
obviously have died due to COVID, died from not getting vaccinated. And the idea that people can
00:11:32.620
fly in the face of science, well, individuals are allowed to make their own choices. There may be all
00:11:38.820
sorts of different reasons why someone is hesitant to get vaccinated. But I make a distinction, I have
00:11:44.740
always have between someone choosing for personal reasons, to choose not to get vaccinated. And
00:11:54.420
someone deliberately using misinformation to mislead and scare other people with so-called facts that aren't
00:12:08.580
facts at all that lead them to make a choice that endangers their lives and the lives of other citizens.
00:12:18.260
So as Prime Minister, through the greatest public health crisis that we've faced in 100 years in this country,
00:12:28.260
since the Spanish flu, my responsibility was to keep as many Canadians alive as possible.
00:12:37.940
And all of the scientists and the medical experts and the researchers, not just in Canada, but around the world,
00:12:45.940
understood that vaccination was going to be the way through this.
00:12:51.940
And therefore, while not forcing anyone to get vaccinated, I chose to make sure that all the
00:12:59.940
incentives and all the protections were there to encourage Canadians to get vaccinated. And that's
00:13:06.180
exactly what they did. We got vaccinated to a higher level than just about any other of our peer countries.
00:13:11.540
And that's why we had a less deadly pandemic than most other countries.
00:13:16.340
Yeah, you know, Tamara, blackface does it again. You know, he is correct, folks. There were no
00:13:27.220
forced vaccinations, i.e. the federal government didn't have vans shanghaing people off the streets
00:13:32.740
and jabbing a needle into their arms. But that's not to say there was no coercion, you know, like being
00:13:39.460
suspended without pay, which is a fancy way of saying you're fired and let you if you don't get the jab,
00:13:47.540
you're not going to have your job. That is the I mean, talk about misinformation and disinformation.
00:13:54.260
Tamara, if he was giving his government and other governments, municipalities, provincial governments,
00:14:00.660
there's plenty of blame to go around here. They were giving people, millions of Canadians,
00:14:07.540
an economic death sentence unless they complied. To me, that is a forced vaccination. I'm sorry.
00:14:15.300
Well, and that's one of the WHO is the World Health Organization's number one social determinant
00:14:21.220
of health is your ability to be gainfully employed and having that financial security.
00:14:27.060
And that was stolen from people by this same government all throughout 2021. I mean, personally,
00:14:33.140
I have a friend who I don't know if they'll go back to working with the federal government, but had a job
00:14:39.220
with the federal government in 2021, was pregnant, did not want to receive this experimental injection,
00:14:46.100
despite being very much pro other vaccines and had to go on an early maternity leave because it came,
00:14:55.540
push was coming to shove and there was decisions that had to be made. And so has been on an early and now
00:15:01.860
extended maternity leave ever since. And I don't know what will happen in the end. But it's very clear
00:15:07.860
from also the people that I've heard from both in journalistic reporting, but also in my personal life,
00:15:13.540
that this government instituted a heavy handed vaccine mandate. Either you get it or you'll face job loss.
00:15:20.660
And the funny thing is that these injections were once sold to us as 100 percent safe and effective,
00:15:27.860
right? You you there was no risk of a vaccine reaction. And now you have our fearless leader,
00:15:36.020
Justin Trudeau, acknowledging that there are risks. Well, where were you the last two plus years stating that
00:15:44.500
these were 100 percent safe and effective for everyone from six months old up until, you know,
00:15:50.900
you're on your deathbed? Oh, 100 percent. And, you know, here's an anecdote, Tamara. And I don't
00:15:55.540
know if you're coming across this more and more frequently because I sure am. Just last week,
00:16:00.340
I was at my eye doctor for an appointment. I was speaking to the assistant to my eye doctor and she told
00:16:06.500
me a lovely lady in her 40s, very healthy. She said that she got the two jabs and the two boosters.
00:16:15.700
Wow. Four. Yes. Total buyer's remorse. You want to know why? She got COVID three times after two jabs.
00:16:24.420
And so, I mean, it doesn't even work. I mean, and and the people that are pro vaccine, they say
00:16:32.980
that, oh, yeah, you got COVID. But you see, here's the benefit. If you hadn't had your jabs,
00:16:38.260
it would have been much more severe. How can you prove that? Exactly. You can neither prove or
00:16:42.180
disprove that. I also want to say, too, in the first clip, I really take umbrage to this. Trudeau
00:16:48.500
comparing people who have hesitancy to getting vaccinated with an experimental mRNA vaccine,
00:16:56.420
he called them, he drew the apparel to flat earthers, right? It's not the first time.
00:17:01.460
But that's astonishing. And I know I know we're going to get, you know, feedback from people
00:17:08.340
that believe this. There's even a flat earth convention that takes place every year. I'd
00:17:13.140
love to cover that. I think it would be a dissent to demand this. But I think that's more a product
00:17:19.140
of the Internet. I mean, put another way, Tamara, you're you're aware of the bronies, right?
00:17:24.980
These are jabronis. No, not jabronis, the bronies. These are mature adult males that are obsessed with
00:17:32.980
My Little Pony. And what I'm saying, and until recently, there was an annual convention,
00:17:38.980
drew thousands of them. And I think before the Internet, Tamara, say I had that obsession.
00:17:46.260
You know, I'd be in my basement going, oh, my God, I am obsessed.
00:17:53.460
I'm obsessed with you're not making this up. Yeah. No, I'm not. I'm obsessed with a cartoon
00:17:58.580
that's targeted towards girls age three to seven. Gross. What is wrong with me? You know,
00:18:06.020
I need psychiatric help. But you go into the Internet and you know what? You find out there's
00:18:11.860
clubs, there's conventions, there's thousands of people like that. Hey, I'm I'm part of a thing.
00:18:18.420
You know, I'm a brony and say it loud, say it proud. This has been one of the most unfortunate
00:18:24.740
effects, I think, on misinformation and disinformation. It's just the very existence of the Internet.
00:18:31.460
Let's not forget that this government was the purveyor of myths and disinformation
00:18:37.780
throughout the onset of the pandemic. Right at the beginning, March 2020, our public health
00:18:43.300
overlord chief medical chief public health officer, Theresa Tam, well, she couldn't decide whether
00:18:49.700
or not we should close the borders. At first it was racist and phobic. And then all of a sudden
00:18:55.140
we should close the borders. And then at first it was masks don't work. They do nothing to stop
00:19:01.060
the spread of a virus, an invisible virus at that. And then all of a sudden masks do work.
00:19:07.380
And so the flip-flopping of this government throughout the last three years, but very heavily
00:19:13.700
in those first few months of the pandemic, as they disregarded completely all of the well-established
00:19:20.100
pandemic response plans that we had in place, both as a country and also preventionally,
00:19:28.580
they have been the leaders of misinformation. And now they're just flipping that script onto anybody
00:19:34.660
who was actually following the science or following the facts and pointing out those loopholes.
00:19:39.620
So this is really an interesting unfolding and there's no acknowledgement of a need for an
00:19:45.140
apology here. This is just trying to cover your rear end.
00:19:48.420
Yeah. No. And Tamara, I'm surprised you forgot the biggest lie of all. Remember two weeks to flatten the
00:19:54.980
You know what that reminded me? There's a movie from, I think it's 1985. It's called The Money Pit.
00:20:00.340
I think Tom Hanks is the star in it. And it's not a very good movie. I don't recommend it. But
00:20:06.180
what I did like, there's a running joke. It's this couple, they inherit this mansion,
00:20:11.700
but it requires extensive renovations. So there's plumbers, there's construction workers,
00:20:17.700
electricians are all working on this. And they say throughout the entire movie,
00:20:23.300
how long is it going to be until you're finished? And the Stan Pat answer is two weeks.
00:20:28.900
And the funniest part is that midway through the film, Hanks is losing it. He says, look,
00:20:33.700
you've been saying two weeks all this time. I want to know right now, right now,
00:20:38.500
how long is it going to take for this renovation to be completed? And the guy goes, seriously,
00:20:43.540
two weeks. That's it. And it fades to black. And then it opens up again. And the title card says,
00:20:51.460
six months later, and the house looks exactly the same. That was the unfunny comedy of the pandemic.
00:21:00.500
This nonsense, two weeks, or another two weeks, would you believe two months? How about two years,
00:21:05.860
two decades? And also, from what we know, Tamara, I look at some of our leaders like the now disgraced
00:21:18.020
John Tory, right? Here's a guy that sicked the mounted unit on Adam Skelly, shut down Adamson's
00:21:26.180
barbecue. Here's the guy that was having the Parks and Rec people paint social distancing circles,
00:21:34.420
800 of them at Trinity Bellwoods Park. And you've got to stay in your circle. And if you get out of
00:21:38.820
the circle, you're going to get an $860 fine. Here's a guy that was so holier than thou, even
00:21:45.380
recommending masking between bites while you eat. And yet, what did we find out during this very time?
00:21:53.140
He was chasing Emily Hillstrom around the cottage, his words, in an email that went to the wrong
00:21:59.300
person, by the way. You know, so the audacity, the chutzpah that these moral authorities,
00:22:07.860
they weren't just, you know, fudging the rules. They were
00:22:11.300
disintegrating the rules when it came to their own livelihoods.
00:22:14.980
The exact hypocrisy of the bureaucracy that we point out repeatedly is that, what's your saying?
00:22:22.260
Rules for me and rules for thee. That's right. That's right. So as John Tory is locking you up
00:22:29.380
inside of your house, telling you to stay home and save lives, he was also gallivanting over to
00:22:33.940
Florida, his vacation home. That's right. His $10 million mansion. And I don't know if we ever,
00:22:38.660
we had drone footage of somebody coming out of that mansion. This is never a good look, folks. Never do
00:22:45.860
this, even if you are guilty, because it looks even worse. The person put their coat over their head.
00:22:51.300
Right? Because they didn't want to be seen. You know, we'll eventually find out. So, yeah. And also,
00:23:00.020
I openly question, where was Mrs. Tory getting her hair done? Because not a single hair looked out of
00:23:09.380
place during that pandemic. That's, by the way, the reason I wear a hat.
00:23:13.860
It's interesting that you say that because my local medical officer of health who quietly retired
00:23:19.540
toward the end of 2020, when we were all told that cash was unsafe, remember there was that
00:23:26.020
heavy promotion of using interact and digital interface to pay with. So she was going to a
00:23:32.180
local hairstylist and someone who was there tipped me off that she was paying cash for her salon services
00:23:40.100
at a time when all of these medical officers of health were in unison saying to, you know,
00:23:45.700
encouraging touchless interaction and discouraging the use of dirty, grimy COVID spreading cash.
00:23:54.820
And you know, the most despicable thing of all, and we covered it certainly, Tamara, was
00:23:59.540
gyms being forced to shut down. So you're out of work, you're at home,
00:24:04.740
you can't go to the gym to do something healthy, such as lift weights or do cardio exercises.
00:24:12.420
And then you've got Fat Bastard himself, Premier Doug Ford, recommending that everybody eat cherry
00:24:18.100
cheesecake. Yeah. Great advice, Premier. I guess we really want to increase obesity,
00:24:24.100
heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol. Unbelievable. But those were our so-called
00:24:30.260
leaders during the pandemic. You know, Tamara, we have to break for an ad. Before we go to an ad
00:24:35.380
break, let's just read out this one super chat because it relates to the topic. And then we'll
00:24:40.660
head to an ad break. Adam Ott gives $5. I guess blackface never heard of the old joke that weathermen
00:24:48.900
are like politicians. Both are liars. What a bad analogy to use for his myths and disinformation campaign.
00:24:57.460
That whole speech was a lie. Oh, Adam Ott, you are speaking my language. I've long said, Tamara,
00:25:04.020
that the best gig on the planet is being a weatherman or weather woman, weather person,
00:25:10.420
however you want to frame it. You say, you know, it's going to be about nine to 12 degrees and there's
00:25:18.260
like a 40 to 80 percent chance of right. And you can even with those ranges, you can be absolutely dead
00:25:24.660
wrong. And you know what? You never get a memo. You never get reprimanded. You never get fired.
00:25:30.420
You can fail every day and still be gainfully employed. Yeah. Much like blackface has failed us
00:25:38.020
every day since 2015 and still gainfully employed. And gets a raise. That's right.
00:25:44.260
So we'll go to a quick ad break. We'll come back for more. Right-o.
00:25:47.700
The Tamara Leach has been released from jail. Western separatist Tamara Leach.
00:25:53.540
Leach will remain in custody. We have breaking news out of Ottawa to tell you about. A judge has
00:25:58.340
made a decision on whether to grant bail for Tamara Leach, one of the leaders of that recent
00:26:03.060
demonstration in Ottawa. You may have seen me on the news, but there's more to my story.
00:26:19.060
In my new book, Hold the Line, I share the story of the Freedom Convoy from the heart of the Freedom
00:26:24.580
Convoy. It's a story of hope, courage and coming together as a community in the Canadian way. You
00:26:31.060
can buy my new book at theconvoybook.com and in that book you're going to hear stories from the heart
00:26:35.940
of the convoy as well as my arrest and my time in jail like you've never heard them before. Until
00:26:42.100
very recently I've been quite silent because of my bail conditions, but now I'm ready to tell my story,
00:26:48.100
my side of the story. I know the mainstream media isn't going to be fair to me as they've already called
00:26:53.380
me and my friends from the convoy terrorists. There is increasing concern about violent online
00:26:58.900
rhetoric supporting the convoy and that those with extreme views are planning on attending.
00:27:03.540
The Mayor who made, in my estimation, just a horrendous decision to negotiate with terrorists.
00:27:10.260
So I'm launching a book tour across Canada. We'll be doing interviews, signing books,
00:27:15.620
and saying thank you to all Canadians for your support. I've partnered with Rebel News to crowdfund for
00:27:22.100
the cost of my book as well as our advertising campaign. With your help we'll be purchasing ads
00:27:28.980
and billboards to spread the word about my book. We'll also be upgrading my home studio which will
00:27:34.260
enable me to do interviews all around the world. If you're a shop owner or a business owner and you'd
00:27:39.460
like to have a book signing, please fill out the form on our website which you can find here. And if you'd
00:27:44.500
like to make a donation for the tour, we'll greatly appreciate it. The first 500 people to send in a
00:27:50.180
donation of $200 or more will receive a free signed copy of my book. Hold the line, my story from the
00:27:57.220
heart of the Freedom Convoy. The last time I drove across Canada, something very special happened.
00:28:02.980
Let's make that happen again. Go to theconvoybook.com. Thank you.
00:28:07.460
Oh, what a delightful lady, Tamara Leach. You know, I love the title, of course, Hold the Line.
00:28:18.180
And I remember back when the trucker convoys were happening, Tamara, hold the line. Oh,
00:28:24.260
what a bunch of white supremacists. It's an insurrection. You know, bring in the Emergencies
00:28:28.580
Act. And yet, last week, I'm looking at the Public Sector Alliance of Canada, all those federal workers,
00:28:35.540
more than 155,000 of them. And they're tweeting out, hold the line. Say, Tamara, do you think
00:28:42.500
Blackface is going to invoke the Emergencies Act again? Same language. I was wondering the same,
00:28:47.220
but then I noticed that none of them could show up on the weekends because their cause is so
00:28:51.860
important to them. And it's so crucial that they get out there on the picket lines and have their
00:28:56.260
voices heard. But none of them could come out when they weren't being paid to do so on Saturday and
00:29:00.340
Sunday. Oh, and when Lincoln and I went to cover the picket line in Toronto, not only would not,
00:29:09.780
not a single one of them would make a comment, but it was uncanny. Talk about banker's hours.
00:29:14.900
By the time 4pm rolled around, it was like just a few remaining stragglers. Maybe they were waiting
00:29:22.420
for their Uber rides or something. But, you know, and that is a significant number,
00:29:27.300
4pm because that's one of their demands. If they work past 4pm, they get a special bonus of such a
00:29:34.020
rate, you know. If they can even make it into the office. Oh, yeah. Yeah. They want to telework.
00:29:38.980
That means work from home. Perpetually. And remember, the reason for that was COVID.
00:29:46.740
COVID's gone. It's in the rear view mirror. Get back to work. I mean, you know, that's too much to
00:29:52.020
ask for. But and now and of course, they said and I noted the language of the head of the PSAC.
00:30:02.100
We're not going to inconvenience Canadians yet. Well, as of yesterday, guess what? They started
00:30:07.860
in inconveniencing Canadians. They've now gone to some ports like in Montreal. And and he has hinted
00:30:16.420
they'll be going to airports soon and even land bridge crossings. So his advice is, yeah,
00:30:24.580
factor in extra hours of travel time hours. Yeah. You know, it's really easy for this jabroni to say
00:30:31.940
that he gets paid for every hour and probably time and a half after 4pm. But for the rest of us and,
00:30:40.180
you know, and the audacity to the CRA is out on strike Canada Revenue Agency. And they're saying,
00:30:46.660
but oh, pay your taxes on time or else. I mean, Tamara, this is a slap in the face to hard working
00:30:54.820
Canadians in the private sector that don't get this kind of entitlement. I mean, what the government's
00:31:00.260
offering 9% over three years, everyone I know says they'd be doing cartwheels if the boss said that to
00:31:06.900
them. Yeah. But instead, we're not the anointed ones. We're not the federal bureaucracy. Well,
00:31:12.020
what's always interesting is when the feds strike, no one notices. So we'll see. We'll see how that
00:31:18.660
unfolds. I'll tell you something, Tamara, because I'm of an age where I remember this. Back in the 70s,
00:31:23.940
Canada Post, almost on an annual basis, went out on strike. And they literally held the country hostage
00:31:32.180
because that's how bills were paid. That's how people got paycheck. You name it. And today,
00:31:39.140
if Canada Post went out on strike, oh, no, you mean I'm not going to get my junk mail today? Are you
00:31:45.140
kidding me? It's all online. So yeah, I think a Canada Post strike is now a redundant thing,
00:31:52.180
thank God, because the internet. Yeah, I guess there's some good things about the internet now,
00:31:56.260
right? That's right. Some good things. But before we move on to our next topic,
00:32:01.060
I wanted to let all of our viewers know at home, so especially if you're watching us on Rumble or
00:32:06.260
YouTube, that we are excited to announce that we are now live on Locals.com. So that is a place
00:32:15.060
where, and maybe we can pull up our profile there, but Locals.com is a place where we can engage with
00:32:23.540
each other, share our thoughts and ideas, and most importantly, stand up for and uphold our right to
00:32:30.580
free speech without the fear of censorship or being deplatformed. So it's a space where you can access
00:32:38.980
all of our free content, but if you would like to get a little bit more, a little bit extra, then you can
00:32:44.980
find all of our premium Rebel News Plus content there too. And if you become a supporter, you can
00:32:53.060
get access to some of those previous shows as well, or sorry, those premium shows as well. So if you head
00:32:59.300
on over to Locals.com, you can join our community and subscribe to it there today. And again, if you're
00:33:05.860
on Rumble or YouTube, you can just, you'll see the link pop up there. So you can just click that,
00:33:11.780
and it's an easy redirect where you can sign up and follow us there. So we're going to be slowly
00:33:16.660
building out that platform in hopes of avoiding censorship and deplatforming. So I urge and
00:33:23.620
encourage everyone to go there and check it out. Speaking of hope, can you stick around after work
00:33:29.300
and tutor me and this Locals thing, Tamara? You know me, I mean, I'm unfrozen caveman journalist here.
00:33:35.140
Fast moving cars and bright lights frighten and confuse me. And here's yet another platform. I don't
00:33:41.140
have a clue. So I need Tamara's help. She's smarter than your average bear.
00:33:45.780
We're hoping to streamline things through Locals so that you don't have to worry about all these
00:33:49.940
other platforms, David. Don't worry. We can hold your hand through it.
00:33:53.300
Please. So, well, goodness gracious, Lincoln Jay, our ace photographer and editor and myself,
00:34:03.860
we went down to Kitchener last night to take in the Waterloo Catholic School trustees board meeting.
00:34:12.740
And basically, there were dozens of demonstrators there, very angry parents, because trustee
00:34:20.420
Wendy Ashby, she tweeted out, and I'm not making this up, this is a trustee of a Catholic school board,
00:34:28.180
that a white Christian male is the most dangerous thing on the planet. And there was a petition the
00:34:36.740
parents wanted to deliver. And we sat there and then we listened to a really boring presentation.
00:34:42.580
And the guy said, any questions? Oh, I had a question. And they all ended up running away.
00:34:49.940
Gee, was it something I said? Let's roll the video.
00:34:52.580
You and a trustee by the name of Wendy Ashby say, the most dangerous creature on the planet
00:35:01.060
is the white Christian male. Point of order, please be aware that such behavior and effort
00:35:06.100
does this, excuse me, does this board condemn or approve this statement?
00:35:11.780
Please be aware that such behavior could result in your removal from this proceeding, should it continue?
00:35:15.780
Please be aware that such behavior could result in your removal from this proceeding, should it continue?
00:35:34.740
Obviously, I understand why we're all here tonight.
00:35:41.220
I'm not white, and I'm not Christian myself, but my wife is Catholic, and she is white.
00:35:49.820
My kids are a lot lighter shade of color than I am, and to me, this is concerning, because
00:35:56.320
regardless of your skin color or your ethnicity, you should not be hearing products that are
00:36:05.880
So, Tamara, let me tell you and our beloved audience what happened.
00:36:16.400
Luckily, they didn't know that Lincoln was with me, so they had him stay.
00:36:24.880
Six Waterloo Regional Police cruisers, SUVs, six of them showed up.
00:36:31.420
So the board brought in the state muscle, and what ensued inside, because I waited for
00:36:38.680
the parents to come out after they had their shtick, it was like a hostage negotiation, Tamara.
00:36:44.940
The police would talk to the parents, what are you looking for?
00:36:49.320
They'd go to the school board trustees that were all hiding in their offices.
00:36:58.440
One parent, and you saw the gentleman, one parent can get up and ask one question or make
00:37:08.120
And if you agree to that, the trustees will come back out.
00:37:11.540
And after he stated the disappointment of that trustee, Ashby, saying that comment, which
00:37:21.140
is racist, sexist, and anti-Christian, not a single trustee, not a single member of that
00:37:35.700
And in addition to being a racist and a sexist, well, Ashby is also a coward, folks, because
00:37:41.600
she knew there was going to be a demonstration.
00:37:58.620
A trustee on a Catholic school board saying that?
00:38:03.140
I was going to reiterate the fact that this is a Catholic school board and you're condemning
00:38:10.860
And again, another point where it's time for the Minister of Education, Stephen Lecce,
00:38:16.740
to step in here because these boards have gone rogue, really.
00:38:22.860
They're acting like woke, ideologically driven bureaucrats.
00:38:30.720
And with zero accountability, zero transparency.
00:38:34.360
And I think this is really part of why the Ontario government is moving to introduce new
00:38:45.380
I mean, the other day I picked up a milk carton and I saw there was an illustration on it,
00:38:51.060
And it was Lecce's spine and it had the word missing.
00:38:56.380
I mean, Stephen Lecce is now like a professional wrestling referee.
00:39:01.500
It's like, listen, Ugolini, I've warned you eight times not to use that foreign object.
00:39:06.860
And if you use it again, I'm going to warn you a ninth time.
00:39:15.300
He has the power when it comes to the Holton District school board and the infamous Busty
00:39:21.260
He has the power to tell these jabronis there to implement a dress code.
00:39:26.980
He has the power, if he wanted to, to dissolve a school board.
00:39:30.640
It's been done in Alberta and he has the same power.
00:39:33.720
And as a matter of fact, Tamara, why do we need school boards anymore?
00:39:39.000
We have a minister of education and principals are very much empowered.
00:39:43.440
Why do we have these middlemen meddling with the education system?
00:39:49.380
And really what we've seen in the last several years, folks, is that these aren't people committed
00:39:56.300
These are Marxists using the school board trustee position as their ascent into higher politics,
00:40:08.640
See, I would argue that your principal is actually just a glorified administrator.
00:40:13.900
And so there they have to succumb to the whims of whatever the school board enforces.
00:40:20.640
But if the school board were null and if they were dissolved, then, yeah, perhaps that power
00:40:26.000
could be put back into the hands of a principal.
00:40:28.740
And I think that the point that you're making here is kind of a cowardice way that Lecce,
00:40:35.420
our education minister, is going about all of this is by trying to introduce this new piece
00:40:41.100
of legislation that looks great on paper, right?
00:40:43.380
It's supposed to improve accountability and transparency in publicly funded schools.
00:40:48.980
But as you've mentioned, he already has the power to do that.
00:40:52.920
And obviously, over the last several months, as we've seen the Busty Lemieux saga, which
00:40:57.520
I don't which we won't get into heavily here, but I'm sure all of our viewers are familiar
00:41:04.240
But as we've seen over the past several months, he's just failed to act and do any of that.
00:41:08.500
Oh, well, we caught him red handed earlier this month.
00:41:11.260
Remember, he told folks, the New York Post, that these are not props.
00:41:22.580
And to the home district school board, oh, this was a gift from God.
00:41:28.340
This would be like firing a handicapped individual because we don't like the fact that they're
00:41:39.300
He fled via an Uber car, left his real vehicle behind.
00:41:55.140
So basically, the inclusivity is extended to grifters, liars, and cheats.
00:42:04.760
And equally shameful is Stephen Lecce for not disbanding these bunch of woke joke educrats
00:42:11.440
who really, at the end of the day, folks, they hate the parents and even hate the kids.
00:42:15.920
And they don't even want to hear from the parents.
00:42:17.540
And that's the really unfortunate part is that this could be alleviated.
00:42:20.960
I think if there was a discussion, a debate, if parents felt like their voices were being
00:42:24.660
heard, their concerns were validated, then it's likely that this could be sorted through.
00:42:29.120
But it's obviously not of interest to the boards to do so.
00:42:33.560
Now, before we move on, we did have a super chat here from Aaron Burton, 32, gives $5.
00:42:40.680
David, amazing report on the Toronto Police last week.
00:42:44.700
Are you able to find that person who uses no preferred pronouns and ask it how that's possible?
00:42:56.480
And what Aaron is referring to, and this is why, folks, if you're not a premium subscriber
00:43:01.920
to Rebel News, please think that over and subscribe.
00:43:07.120
I was filling in for Ezra on the Ezra Levent Show.
00:43:13.800
It's basically the Toronto Police going woke, not by their own choice, mind you, you know,
00:43:26.740
They're being forced to by the Ontario Human Rights Commission, so woke that transgender
00:43:32.920
people, according to the Toronto Police, they don't have equal rights.
00:43:38.780
And as an example, you know, when you're put in a holding cell, and yeah, I spoke to the
00:43:43.800
speak from experience being a political prisoner in this country, you surrender your necktie,
00:43:50.040
your shoelaces, your belt, anything that can be weaponized or that you can use to commit
00:43:55.880
But if it's a transgendered person and they have a dildo, and that's the example given, I'm not making any of this up.
00:44:11.300
And you are forbidden to remove it from the trans person.
00:44:15.300
And I got to tell you, you know, I have an ex-soldier friend, he has a saying, anything can be used as a weapon.
00:44:23.540
And that would include a dildo, Tamara Ugolini.
00:44:28.540
And that's the thing, there's an excerpt of that monologue posted on YouTube, and I believe Rumble, but if you want the full meal deal, please subscribe.
00:44:51.580
I know you think you walked into a sex shop, but no, these are gender affirming articles for the trans community.
00:45:07.060
Every day, I'm like, is it, have we, have we reached the peak hysteria yet?
00:45:16.740
One of the persons giving the training is Sergeant Chevalier, and he's always so sensitive, you know.
00:45:28.840
I mean, I know, you know, people are getting stabbed at random in Toronto, shoved off subway platforms, what have you.
00:45:37.560
So he gave this anecdote that he's got a niece, but the niece might be identifying as his nephew.
00:45:45.760
So to avoid offense, and this is the example he's giving to the cops, and you can see in the subtitles.
00:45:59.140
Nibbling, isn't that a brand of jolly green giant corn or something, Tamara?
00:46:09.800
Before we go on, we should take another ad break.
00:46:17.740
I am doing something today that I have never tried before.
00:46:25.140
I'm looking for collaborators in a new and exciting initiative.
00:46:28.760
As you most likely know, YouTube a long time ago demonetized Rebel News, and we are 100% viewer funded.
00:46:36.580
Now, while our supporters are fantastic at helping us cover legal campaigns and special reporting missions, unfortunately, the reality is our day-to-day operational expenses often exceed our income stream.
00:46:49.500
Which is crazy if you think about it, because my videos across all platforms attract hundreds of thousands of views, and sometimes even millions.
00:46:56.720
So I want to share that reach with the right partners.
00:47:01.520
If you have a product or business and want to enter a win-win relationship with me, please go to rebelnews.com forward slash ads and fill in the form to let me know.
00:47:14.940
I need to believe in your business or product so I can sell it proudly for you.
00:47:20.080
And for successful applicants, I will guarantee a minimum view count.
00:47:25.340
Meaning, even if your ad is published on the less popular reports, we'll keep promoting your business or product until it gets the agreed minimum eyeballs.
00:47:34.720
So again, if you have a cool company or product that either wants to take advantage of my reach, or want to support my work through advertising in a way that you can write it off as a tax deduction, or both.
00:47:50.080
Head over to rebelnews.com forward slash ads, and hopefully we can join forces soon.
00:48:08.480
Given the rules as applied by Blackface, we are indeed in the fight of our lives, aren't we, Tamara Ugolini?
00:48:24.340
In fact, if you're a classical liberal in 2023, I think you're a conservative, aren't you?
00:48:29.900
It seems like the two have kind of enmeshed throughout the pandemic and the way that public health measures were handled.
00:48:36.180
That was a dress rehearsal, the more and more I think of it.
00:48:39.080
And I think, you know, politicians of every political affiliation, whether it was municipal, provincial, or federal, I think they were astounded by the compliance.
00:48:53.560
They said, look, we told them to shut down their businesses.
00:49:11.960
And as our beloved boss, Ezra Levant, says, they really like that taste.
00:49:24.620
The COVID-19 pandemic was part and parcel of the censorship virus we're seeing around the world right now, too.
00:49:34.220
So, oh, speaking of censorship, maybe, what are your thoughts on the great Tucker Carlson?
00:49:56.940
We're talking an average audience of more than 3.3 million.
00:50:06.440
He was Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, and Grant Fuhrer combined, I would argue.
00:50:11.600
And, you know, the statement was a mutual parting.
00:50:14.560
But we know there's something more to this story.
00:50:17.020
There's so many theories and speculation out there.
00:50:21.200
Well, it's interesting to note that his last monologue had to do with the way that Big Pharma has really captured media and government and, I would argue, the whole of society.
00:50:35.040
I mean, Big Pharma has its hands in almost every cookie jar.
00:50:38.060
And they are a conglomerate of financial lobbying with huge financial lobbying capabilities.
00:50:45.720
And so I think we have an excerpt here from Tucker's very last monologue where he touched on the relationships between news organizations and how heavily they are funded by Big Pharma advertisers.
00:50:59.140
So that's a really interesting thing to note here.
00:51:03.480
Sometimes you wonder just how filthy and dishonest our news media are.
00:51:08.220
They'll be in the shower and you'll think, they're bad.
00:51:14.540
Ask yourself, is any news organization you know of so corrupt that it's willing to hurt you on behalf of its biggest advertisers?
00:51:22.480
Anyone who'd do that is obviously Pablo Escobar-level corrupt and should not be trusted.
00:51:29.040
Sometimes you wonder just how filthy and dishonest.
00:51:35.060
And yes, on cable news networks and other cable specialty channels, it's endless pharmaceutical ads.
00:51:42.520
I mean, I always get a kick, Tamara, because at the end, the last 15 seconds are all the potential side effects.
00:51:48.260
It sounds worse than what you've got, actually.
00:51:53.320
It just lists through them so quickly that you're not even sure what you're listening to.
00:52:02.020
Well, and then you can take another medication to counteract the adverse effects of the other medication.
00:52:07.720
So if you have anal bleeding, well, there's a medicine for that.
00:52:09.660
And, you know, I welcome our audience to Google the phrase brought to you by Pfizer.
00:52:15.960
And it's about a five and a half minute long YouTube video of that phrase said over and over and over again by virtually every single show on every single network.
00:52:31.660
And, you know, Pfizer, they've got the big bucks.
00:52:36.920
I mean, you know, you think they'd be content with all the money they're making from that great product, Viagra.
00:52:53.340
Don't ask me how I know this, folks, but it's a great product.
00:52:57.260
All of them brought to you by Pfizer, brought to you by Pfizer, brought to you by Pfizer.
00:53:01.460
And so when Tucker pointed that out, oddly enough, followed suit.
00:53:06.340
He was let go from, or reached a mutual consensus to part ways with Fox News.
00:53:14.040
I wonder, I think what we're seeing personally, Tamara, is this is the Bud Light moment for Fox News.
00:53:21.720
Yeah, maybe you thought he was biting the hand that feeds, but he, Tucker Carlson, that is, is your cash cow.
00:53:33.180
I mean, as soon as Tucker goes on, the ratings just spike.
00:53:36.100
And the idea of getting rid of him, and I mean, who could replace Tucker?
00:53:42.760
It is like Anheuser-Busch going ahead with a transvestite, being the spokesperson for Bud Light, and then the VP of marketing, who's now on leave.
00:53:56.380
And denouncing the core base of Bud Light, you know, those frat boys.
00:54:02.080
Like, let's throw rocks at the consumer group that is leaving the liquor store with cases of Bud Light under their arms and try to attract the transgender demographic, which is a scintilla of a percent and probably isn't interested in Bud Light.
00:54:19.720
And likewise, I'm wondering if Fox News already has a buyer's remorse because their stock went down by almost 600 million U.S., I understand, since yesterday.
00:54:33.780
So we have a clip here of AOC celebrating the exit of Tucker Carlson, Alexandria, and I hope I'm pronouncing her last name correctly, Acasio-Cortiz.
00:54:47.720
Ah! Ah! Sounds like I'm about to spit, doesn't it?
00:54:50.940
Oh, I don't even want to play this clip, but nonetheless, here we are.
00:55:01.400
What I will say, though, is while I'm very glad that the person that is arguably responsible for some of the largest, driving some of the most amounts of death threats and violent threats, not just to my office, but to plenty of people across the country,
00:55:23.440
I also kind of feel like I'm waiting for the cutscene at the end of a Marvel movie after all the credits have rolled.
00:55:32.480
And then you see, like, the villain's, like, hand reemerge out to grip over, like, the end of a building or something.
00:55:41.840
But deplatforming works, and it is important, and there you go.
00:55:55.660
They, that is to say, the left, they're not even hiding it anymore.
00:56:04.960
These are the same people, by the way, when it comes to a real crime, like a murderer or a rapist, they'll get early parole, will drop bail.
00:56:12.780
But if you commit a thought crime today, that is a life sentence without parole, without rehabilitation, without a second chance.
00:56:28.440
These are about people tearing down society and building it back up as a Marxist utopia, which never happens.
00:56:36.060
Just visit North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, if you want the proof in the pudding.
00:56:41.400
Yeah, I guess we'll see who replaces Tucker and how that will end up for the Marxists and what kind of other criticisms and critiques they will face, which they then transpire and try to claim that that equates violence and threats.
00:56:57.160
I wonder, you know, just how accurate that is, that she's received death threats and it's a direct causation, was things that Tucker Carlson had said.
00:57:09.560
The other thing, too, that's emerged, I've been doing as much reading as possible on this issue, Tamara, is you recall that Tucker Carlson acquired thousands of hours of footage about what happened on January 6th, 2021.
00:57:29.040
We're going to go through so much of this footage, which is so incriminating against the government, really, the Biden administration in terms of what really happened that day.
00:57:40.620
The first Monday, the first Monday had a lot of footage, then the next day, Tuesday, just a bit.
00:57:47.220
And it was, I think, I mean, what I'm reading between the lines, the Murdoch family got nervous, you know, especially with all the outrage.
00:57:56.220
You know, and that wasn't that rich, the lamestream media, the mainstream media, they had no problems not seeing the footage.
00:58:05.980
Yeah, we believe everything the Biden administration is telling us.
00:58:09.680
And then when Tucker got the footage exclusively, they lost it.
00:58:13.920
And it seems that, and I'm putting myself in Tucker's shoes, this is an exclusive, this is a scoop, this is so important in terms of tearing down the narrative of the insurrection.
00:58:28.960
And then perhaps being told by his managers that, no, it's too hot to handle, we're going to reel this back in.
00:58:41.000
And I would be furious, you know, and the story of the century, really, it is, you know, I'll be at the centuries young.
00:58:48.420
But I mean, there's still people rotting in jail that haven't even been charged yet as part of that outrageous.
00:58:57.680
I mean, the guy with the horns, when I first saw that, I thought that was an image from Comic-Con.
00:59:02.560
I thought the guy was going as Loki or something.
00:59:05.340
They're just passively strolling around, checking out the scene.
00:59:10.100
Yeah, and you know, if it really was an insurrection, wouldn't you want to, oh, I don't know, Tamara, call me outrageous, but, you know, bring weapons?
00:59:20.120
Because really, to do a revolution, you really need that part to seal the deal.
00:59:29.560
So it's another theory, but Tucker might be gone, but it's temporary.
00:59:35.280
I can see him starting his own networking, you know, surrounding himself with some other key talent.
00:59:49.240
And ClearFox News, like I said, that's your Bud Light moment, guys.
00:59:53.160
Well, we have one final super chat to get through from Ableist SL.
00:59:56.800
By new site, I think maybe that's locals.com that Ableist SL might be referring to.
01:00:16.000
But it's definitely something to consider, and we'll keep in mind.
01:00:19.840
I don't have that answer myself, but I'm sure that we could find that.
01:00:27.300
Well, if you're expecting some kind of technical answer from me, I mean, that's like bringing your Ferrari to a caveman and asking for a realignment.
01:00:36.900
If Tamara doesn't know about this, I am completely clueless.
01:00:41.680
Well, it's just getting access to that content from 2015 to 2018.
01:00:48.680
And so how can we bring it back and make it easy to obtain again?
01:00:55.540
Is this something we need, the expressed, authorized consent from Major League Baseball?
01:01:04.060
Anyways, folks, before you sign off, we have another ad.
01:01:09.340
It's an important one, especially if you're a young, aspiring journalist out there.
01:01:15.620
We're going to play that ad, and please give it a look-see.
01:01:19.220
I want to thank super producers Efren and Olivia.
01:01:23.120
I want to thank all of you who tuned in, especially those who gave us some do-re-mi.
01:01:30.620
And, of course, my beloved co-host, Tamara Ugolini.
01:01:34.040
It is so wonderful when you come in in person, you know.
01:01:38.980
Lives, you know, reunited, and it feels so good, I think the song was.
01:01:47.600
I believe it's either with Sheila Gunn-Reed or Drea Humphrey.
01:01:55.640
Too many journalists are really just advocates for woke ideology.
01:02:00.220
They don't report the facts, and they simply don't care about our fundamental freedoms.
01:02:07.580
What happens when the journalists themselves are really not paid for by the government?
01:02:12.820
Can they possibly criticize the government freely?
01:02:37.840
I think that that is the key is to push it back
01:02:51.180
No matter what type of journalism you're doing,
01:02:56.060
whether you're doing the investigative reporting
01:02:59.520
some of the gonzo journalism that David Mendes does,
01:03:02.100
or whether you're working in fiction, like CBC,
01:03:18.460
I'm really appreciating the diversity of the speakers.
01:03:25.720
It's been absolutely mind-blowing from start to finish.
01:03:36.500
But the only thing that beats that are the people,
