Join David and Alex as they discuss the latest in the Blackface saga, the latest news, and the latest political scandal. Today's Daily Roundup features: David and his co-hosts discuss the recent Blackface scandal, the Canadian Prime Minister's new shoe size, and more!
00:24:59.720So literally for explaining that what the the police is doing is not to protect their own country.
00:25:07.720It's not to protect the the people who are citizens there.
00:25:12.720They are protecting, unfortunately, another agenda.
00:25:16.720And it's why they are really disappointed or their own police.
00:25:21.720And, you know, Alexa, again, in the Department of Double Standards, if I understand the Met police has hundreds and hundreds of officers monitoring social media.
00:25:31.720And if you have the temerity to dead name or mispronoun a transgender person, you might get a knock at the door, typically at four in the morning.
00:26:29.720He's not treated seriously at the at the best of times by the world community.
00:26:36.720And also, he basically acquiesced to the crowd's demand with what we talked about right off the top of the show, exercise maximum restraint.
00:26:47.720That is code for cease fire without having to say cease fire.
00:26:53.720Another observation, Alexa, it's all because of political point.
00:34:20.720Well, you know, I think the ultimate example this year was what led to the demise of John
00:34:25.720Tory's career as mayor, in which he sent a text to his mistress, in which, or it was an email, rather, in which he said, I can't wait to chase you around the cottage this weekend.
00:34:40.720Just one problem, Alexa Lavoie, it went to another city staffer, not his mistress.
00:34:48.720So, well, it was a good career while it lasted.
00:35:57.720So, I see snowy roof say, I seen a post on one of Israeli news sources that they were burying bodies in mass grave near one of the hospitals in Gaza.
00:36:12.720Question that came to my mind was, are there stages among them?
00:36:17.720Well, I would look upon that with a shovel full of salt.
00:36:24.720You know, as much as the internet is a bastion of information, it's also a crucible of misinformation.
00:36:32.720And maybe what you are seeing presented as IDF soldiers killing or putting people in mass graves, perhaps those are Hamas terrorists.
00:36:45.720There's certainly one example of that, I understand, going around the internet.
00:37:47.720To do that, if the IDF were doing that, this would be self-defeating for the IDF.
00:37:53.720As I mentioned earlier, this is a armed force that announces ahead of time when and where they're going to strike.
00:38:02.720They don't want collateral damage because even when it is collateral damage, Hamas thrives.
00:38:10.720They love what they call the CNN moment, which is a parent or a grandparent holding up a child or a grandchild who's been killed and go, look what the Zionists have done.
00:38:40.720And I would say, like, since the beginning of the war, they are really quick to tell us how many people died, how many destruction happened.
00:38:52.720But they are not really quick to try to find peace and to discuss and to find a way to stop that war.
00:42:01.720Bravo to Lynn Pinches for doing the right thing.
00:42:07.720And, you know, I know it's complicated.
00:42:11.720When I go back to, you know, the liar Thomas fiasco, this was the swimmer at Penn State who's a biological male.
00:42:21.720He was a mediocre swimmer in the males division.
00:42:25.720Suddenly, a champion, multiple champion in the female division.
00:42:30.720My dream, Alexa, was always that, you know, the 10 swimmers would line up on their podiums, the starter's gun goes, and then the nine female swimmers just walk back to the dressing room and let this guy swim by himself.
00:42:47.720It's a bit of a fantasy because I met one of the mothers of one of the real female swimmers last summer.
00:42:57.720And she said the problem is, first of all, the wokeness on campus, if you can believe it, they might be targeted for doing something transphobic like that, such as the degree of mental illness in our, you know, bastions of higher learning.
00:43:14.040And secondly, Alexa, there are scholarships attached to those female swimmers.
00:43:21.120You pull a stunt like that, she says they would pull the scholarship.
00:43:58.440In the same time, the result is the same.
00:44:01.020Like she would have probably lost or we don't know because she forfeited against the trans woman.
00:44:10.580It's just sad because, again, it's a remove of victory probably from like from the woman, a real woman to win like the woman league.
00:44:23.780And I find that really sad because, you know, now the woman space, it's threatening and we should like be more aware of that because as you just mentioned, when it comes with the price that it's for your school and you need that money to go to school.
00:44:44.360I don't know if you know, but in the U.S., it's really incredibly expensive to go to school.
00:44:53.500Like here, I was able to pay myself my scholarship.
00:44:57.440But in the U.S., we talk about ten of thousands of dollars to go to like high level scholarship.
00:45:05.640So it's really sad to see that because those women are working really hard.
00:45:11.740They are really trying their best to perform and to be first.
00:45:18.020And they have this chance of having like a scholarship part paid because they wear enough like rigid and performant and they see that taking away.
00:45:38.220And what we need to do is stand up to the lunatic fringe.
00:45:42.660When we talk about these transgendered individuals, we are talking about a percent of a percent of a percent.
00:45:50.560And the way they these men, the so-called trans women are invading female spaces.
00:45:57.300Well, I mean, last month, Alexa, when Efron and I went out to the Pan Am Center in Markham, just north of Toronto,
00:46:04.260and we had a 50-year-old man swimming against 13 and 14-year-old girls.
00:46:12.160So the idea of transgenderism, i.e. being the opposite gender or sex, that's passe.
00:46:19.160Now, if you're 50, a half-century old, you can identify as a 13-year-old.
00:46:25.340Look at that age and compare that to all the other swimmers there.
00:46:28.760That's the person, Nicholas J. Cepeda, a.k.a. Melody Wiseheart.
00:46:36.160Sounds like the name a porno star would have.
00:46:39.120But speaking of pornography, Alexa, what the organizers and Swimming Canada and Swim Ontario,
00:46:48.100the question they will not answer, even at this stage, is did Nicholas slash Melody get to change and shower with those 13 and 14-year-old girls?
00:47:01.500I remember a day, I guess I'm a Neanderthal, where going into the change room of the opposite sex of minors would be a criminal offense,
00:47:12.640and now this is a celebration of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
00:47:18.380And Alexa, you're a woman, of course, a biological woman, I should point out.
00:47:39.740They don't want to be called transphobic.
00:47:41.520They don't want to be called of so many names.
00:47:45.140Most of the people cancel themselves because they know that where they work or their, I don't know, like their families or just the people who surround them will look at them and they will cancel them.
00:48:02.060And so it's probably why most of the people shut their mouth and just don't say anything because they know of the consequences.
00:48:11.480And it's really unfortunate because that man or woman.
00:48:23.840Like, if you want to dress, like, if you want to be a woman and you want to be a transgender, I have no problem with that.
00:48:30.400You do whatever you want with your life.
00:48:32.100But when it comes to swim with, like, teenager, and we talk about younger than teenager at that point, only teenager and only, like, I don't, like, if it was other people at the age that you have, like 50 or 45, I will maybe understand more.
00:50:23.280When I get into office, the first thing we have to do, social media accounts, social media companies, they have to show America their algorithms.
00:50:30.900Let us see why they're pushing what they're pushing.
00:50:33.240The second thing is every person on social media should be verified by their name.
00:50:39.080That's, first of all, it's a national security threat.
00:50:41.340When you do that, all of a sudden people have to stand by what they say.
00:50:45.260And it gets rid of the Russian bots, the Iranian bots, and the Chinese bots.
00:50:49.180And then you're going to get some civility when people know their name is next to what they say.
00:51:02.920Alexa, I'm actually kind of a mix on this.
00:51:10.240I really regret the time where we didn't have social media because I think that now social media have like, how I can describe that, make life a little bit harder.
00:51:24.080Like, because now everybody is looking at everybody, it's just like, always like watching it, watching it.
00:51:30.760I feel like we are in 1986 and permanent.
00:51:36.080But the thing is, I agree that when you occupy a really high role into the country, it's important that your own social media and what you're following and what you're pushing as agenda should be reviewed.
00:51:56.940So, just like in case that, like, example, some people who are supporting Hamas are applying for a job, high level, but I'm sorry, but if you do that, you don't have the job.
00:52:13.700Like, you are actually supporting a terrorist organization.
00:52:16.640Yeah, you know, and there's also the issue of what do we do with anonymous whistleblowers that are, you know, quite literally blowing the whistle on shenanigans.
00:52:28.200I think, you know, I have a lot of respect for Nikki Haley.
00:52:31.380Who knows, it might be a Trump Haley ticket next year for the Republicans.
00:52:37.540But, and I will say her heart is in the right place.
00:52:41.440But given that the U.S. is beholden to the First Amendment, I see, you know, a whole litany of First Amendment issues here in terms of government interfering with freedom of speech, even if it's for all the right reasons.
00:53:00.440So, like I said, her heart's in the right place.
00:53:25.380And I always use the example, you know, Alexa, when we see so many people canceled because they sent out a posting in the heat of the moment,
00:53:35.960or they were on drugs or alcohol or they were sleep deprived.
00:53:40.860Back in the day, when we had to actually mail a letter.
00:53:44.940So, like, say you were going to send a letter to the editor of your local newspaper and you had written this vile rant, you know, in anger.
00:53:53.720Well, you got to type it out and then you got to look for an envelope to put it in and then you got to look for a stamp.
00:54:00.860And if you don't have a stamp, you got to go to the post office.
00:54:02.940And finally, on the way to the mailbox, right, that's the last step.
00:54:07.880Maybe by then there's enough of a cooling period where, you know what, maybe I shouldn't call that lady a you-know-what.
00:54:16.120You throw it in the waste paper basket.
00:54:19.540But right now, it's all about instant gratification or instant revenge, for that matter.
00:54:29.080And I think this has fueled such, I don't know, it's far less of a civil environment than what we used to have.
00:54:40.240And it's ended careers and it's something, again, you know, we should tell people, think of how many people in the heat of the moment using Twitter basically lost their livelihood because of really repulsive things they said.
00:55:00.200Maybe think it over before you press send.
00:55:03.860Maybe have a colleague read this and go, think this is going too far?
00:55:07.840I would like to see that set in because I don't think a day goes by these days, Alexa, where somebody doesn't have their lives ruined by a self-inflicted wound via social media.
00:55:22.720I would just say that personally, I'm not a big user of social media.
00:55:28.840I use it for work, but I really prefer the time where that wasn't existing and we had way more direct conversation, direct, like, discussion person to person or by phone.
00:55:45.960But I really regret the fact that now we live in this internet.
00:57:00.940But I guess the flip side to that argument, if that, if this is a young child, say, kidnapped, they could have started off at point A and the point B that they're in is in, you know, your neighborhood.
00:57:15.240So, but my last thought on this is that the number of people that are finding out the hard way that, just like mainstream media or independent media, you can go over the line to the point where you are guilty of defamation or libel.
00:57:36.080They think, oh, well, no, I just said, oh, I didn't really mean it.
00:57:40.280You know, you can damage somebody's reputation and be served with a lawsuit.
00:57:45.720And that's why here at Rebel News, as you well know, Alexa, before we publish anything, we make sure it's factually bulletproof because, quite frankly, we don't want to be sued.
00:57:55.020And I don't believe we have been ever sued in our seven-year history for defamation or libel successfully.
00:58:02.780I think we might have one more super chat, and then we might have to wrap it up because we have a hard break at two.
00:58:42.600You know, people use the word Neanderthal dismissively.
00:58:46.680But when you look at when Neanderthals were alive on this planet, Alexa, they were going out with crude spears, hunting mastodons, giant elephants that in, you know, a bat of an eyelash could kill you, crush you.
00:59:05.120And successfully trapping them, hunting them, making do in the prehistoric world without fangs and claws and venom.
00:59:17.960And they survived, you know, and thrived.
00:59:20.860So, really, given the lack of technology of Neanderthal men, that's an extinct species to praise rather than to be dismissive about.
00:59:34.820Why we don't come back, like, at this time and, like, making our own clothes and eating, like, raw food and being strong?
00:59:43.860Yeah, well, I'll tell you one thing, mating was sure easier.
00:59:48.100I could just come up to you with my club, hit you over the head, drag you back to the cave, you know, and don't have to worry about all this whining and dining stuff, right?
