Transcript
00:00:00.000
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, you have tuned into the daily roundup on this
00:00:19.980
a Wednesday, May 17th, 2023. I'm David Menzies and my co-host, well, let me tell you a little
00:00:28.580
bit about my co-host, shall I? Do you know what, folks? Today is National Idaho Day and this rebel
00:00:36.820
employee, well, I consider her to be my private Idaho. She is the she-devil with a sword. She is
00:00:43.960
the Khaleesi of Northern Alberta. She is Sheila Gunn-Reed. How you doing there, Sheila? And have
00:00:51.420
you ever been to Idaho? Yeah, I've been to Idaho. I'm just surprised you didn't make like a potato
00:00:56.520
joke and the fact that I don't eat potatoes, but there's a lot of other data. Well, you know what?
00:01:03.080
I once, in 1986, driving from Alberta, I went through Idaho en route to California. Now,
00:01:10.400
you have to imagine, folks, in the 80s, Reagan was in power. It wasn't a Democrat regime and forever
00:01:20.420
looks like it will be. So what I'm saying is that if I was making that journey today, I think I would
00:01:25.760
drop anchor in Idaho. They've got a good Republican governor, Brad Little. But yeah, that's where I
00:01:31.460
learned the phrase because the russet potato is so important to the Idaho economy because they have
00:01:40.300
perfect potato growing conditions there. And Sheila, what I'd always hear from people in Idaho
00:01:47.360
is they would say this, as the farmer said to the potato, I'm going to plant you now,
00:01:53.560
but I'm going to dig you later. Oh, wow, David. I remember Bill Matheson was like the local weatherman
00:02:02.060
here on ITV, like before it was global news. And he was just like, he was the best because people would
00:02:11.220
watch the news just to watch Bill Matheson give the weather. He made it so exciting. It was before
00:02:16.500
green screens and he had like stickers that he would move around on the board and he'd scribble
00:02:22.400
on the board with this pen. And he would always say, keep your eye on the Idaho high. And that was
00:02:28.600
like his weather warning. I still remember it. And it was like 35 years ago. It's also International
00:02:36.680
Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia. So I don't know how anyone could miss that. If you
00:02:42.820
follow any politicians on social media, it's literally all they're talking about for some
00:02:47.900
reason. No binary phobia as part of that? Because biphobia is bisexuals. Homophobia is gays and
00:02:56.040
lesbians and, well, transphobia. It's the Herman Munster hour and the Adams family, I guess, combined.
00:03:03.880
But what about who mourns for the binary people getting misgendered on this day, Sheila Gunn-Reed?
00:03:12.300
I thought they were against the gender binary. I don't know. It's also National Cherry Cobbler Day.
00:03:17.780
So as opposed to Cherry Cheesecake Day, which is every day in Doug Ford's, Ontario.
00:03:23.180
Oh, yeah. Well, I'll get a pie sent right down to Queen's Park so Fat Bastard can get some variety in
00:03:30.940
his desserts. I'm surprised you haven't gotten a pie in the face from Doug Ford's camp. I should
00:03:37.620
tell everybody what we're doing here, because there's a lot of news to talk about today. Yeah,
00:03:41.820
RCMP, we proudly stand against transphobia, homophobia, biphobia. In the RCMP and across
00:03:47.620
Canada, by working together, we can build a more inclusive and supportive environment, whatever.
00:03:52.280
It's all going to be like the same comments over and over again.
00:03:55.540
Yeah, not to make it about us, but how about the RCMP issues a statement where against
00:03:59.760
journalist phobia, you know, when blackface's security deal, a detail beats me up for just
00:04:07.040
being on a street corner trying to scrum the PM. I guess that doesn't qualify. I guess what I should
00:04:14.100
have done, Sheila, is wave one of those little pink and baby blue flags. And that would be kind
00:04:19.900
of akin to Superman's cape of invulnerability. I just have a hard time believing that that entire
00:04:28.800
community has any discrimination against them at this point, when you can be cancelled from social
00:04:33.620
media, from your job, for just not being a strict adherent enough to their ideology. They've got an
00:04:40.320
entire month. No, I'm sorry, a season. We used to call summer co-opted by the movement.
00:04:46.260
They get to read to your kids without your knowledge. I don't know. I don't know. I don't
00:04:53.760
know. If we're genociding them, I believe we're doing it all wrong.
00:04:57.920
And Sheila, this is in the space of seven months, the third rainbow raising flag event. It goes back
00:05:07.240
to November 20th. That was the National Day of Trans Remembrance. I don't know what we're supposed
00:05:13.360
to be remembering. I've already forgotten. March 31st was Trans Visibility Day. How is that different
00:05:20.320
from Remembrance Day for trans? And today is this...
00:05:25.860
Trust me, we see you just fine. You know, like, I don't know.
00:05:30.100
And now we have this, you know, act of standing against homophobia, transphobia, and biphobia.
00:05:36.700
Isn't that funny, Sheila, speaking of November remembrance, we have one solitary day, namely
00:05:43.840
November 11th, to honor the veterans, to honor those who are serving in the military, to honor
00:05:50.660
those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. One day, November 11th. And then this thing, the alphabet
00:05:59.440
soup community, it just goes on and on and on. It's no longer, as I've said, about acceptance,
00:06:06.680
and tolerance. It's about affirmation. And we have multiple days where we have to stand on a
00:06:13.740
apple cart, and just clap and cheer them on. And if you don't, you're a hater, you're a homophobe,
00:06:23.660
Yeah, where's the day where people who want to be left alone are just left alone? Because that's the
00:06:29.500
day that I want. I used to think that was the day that that community wanted too. But it's not like
00:06:37.000
that anymore. It's just, I don't know, it's, it's a bit much. Anyway. Let's tell everybody what we're
00:06:45.240
doing here today. This is the Rebel News daily live stream, the daily roundup, as it's called. It's
00:06:51.680
normally hosted by David Menzies, and he has a co-pilot on most days. Today, that day is, or that
00:06:58.300
person is me. If you're watching us on YouTube, well, thanks, I guess. There are 1.6 million sets
00:07:04.760
of eyeballs who watch us on YouTube. However, YouTube is a censorship platform, and they've
00:07:09.960
completely demonetized us there. So if you'd like to get involved in supporting the work that we do
00:07:16.820
hear Rebel News completely willingly, unlike what Justin Trudeau forces you to do with the
00:07:21.120
unwatchable and unlikable and often untruthful mainstream media, might I suggest you move over
00:07:27.800
to Rumble or Odyssey, wherein you can leave a paid chat, which sort of democratizes the show. You get
00:07:34.220
to have your say, and we'll read it on air, and it gives us a little bit of money to help keep the
00:07:38.480
lights on. But also, might I suggest, if you'd like to go just one step further in supporting us,
00:07:43.400
join our community on Rumbles, on Rumbles, or sorry, on Locals, on Locals.com. You'll find all
00:07:50.880
of our free content there, but also our paywalled content, behind the scenes, filming of our
00:07:56.820
documentaries, our documentaries as well, my show, Ezra's show. And so you can become a supporter
00:08:03.800
on Locals.com and interact with us there too as well. So there are a few different ways that you can
00:08:09.960
support the work that we do here at Rebel News without being forced to by Justin Trudeau. And
00:08:14.360
I think that's it. And very quickly, Sheila, before we move on, I'm just trying to read your
00:08:17.920
shirt. It looks like a new one. Save an EV, ride a horse. Am I reading that right? Yes. Yeah. This
00:08:24.020
is save an EV, ride a horse. And it's from Alberta Proud. So your horse is far more reliable
00:08:32.760
than your EV, that's for sure. You're not taking a shot at my beloved Mitsubishi Green Goblin.
00:08:40.220
I mean... A hundred percent. A hundred percent. Yeah. It's overt. I'm not even being passive
00:08:44.580
aggressive about it. But it's a plug-in hybrid. This is about you. It's not a complete electrical
00:08:48.500
car. You see, some of it is electrically powered. Some of it is fossil fuel powered. You see, Sheila,
00:08:54.620
when it comes to my energy sources, I am, how can we say it? Promiscuous.
00:09:03.340
You do not discriminate. I do. And I don't like your car. I don't. It's a disgrace. And you bought
00:09:10.480
it just so you could drive in the elite lane in Ontario, which is something that I find revolting.
00:09:17.840
That everybody, like people like me who pay gas tax to build the roads, I get to slum it in three
00:09:26.160
lanes of the 401. And the people with EVs, they get to be in the privileged class and they get their
00:09:34.500
own special lane there. So no matter how bad the traffic gets in those three lanes, you don't get
00:09:42.320
to drive in the fourth lane or however the hell many lanes there are in the 401, which I think is
00:09:48.680
counterintuitive to alleviating traffic congestion, right? Like if you want, if you were worried about
00:09:54.620
traffic congestion, you would just let everybody drive in all four lanes and get everybody moving
00:09:59.460
in the right direction. But they will create traffic snarls for the poor people in those other
00:10:04.860
three lanes because they opted for reliability instead of privilege, like David Menzies.
00:10:11.820
I disagree, Sheila. We green plate holders are special. And by the way, anecdotally, you know who
00:10:19.060
I noticed the biggest violators are in the HOV lane as single drivers? It is the drivers of pickup
00:10:26.880
trucks. And I find that deeply offensive, Sheila Gunn-Reed. You're going to work to build things
00:10:32.420
with people like you. Let them go. Okay. Enough about motoring in the madhouse of greater Toronto
00:10:43.340
area. Speaking of electric cars, that's a great segue into Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla. And I see
00:10:52.860
more Teslas on the road than ever before. I was driving home from Calgary. I saw two on the highway
00:10:57.660
too. But he's got a tweet wherein he said that George Soros, sinister, progressive, progressive,
00:11:09.460
left-wing billionaire George Soros, who undermines public safety in all manner of things through his
00:11:17.360
support of far left-wing prosecutors in the United States. He said that Soros reminds him of Magneto.
00:11:26.200
David, for grownups like me who don't know who Magneto is, tell us who that is.
00:11:31.840
Oh, well, Magneto, once upon a time, would have been the arch enemy of the X-Men. He is a mutant
00:11:39.400
himself. He controls anything that is magnetic. But, you know, more recently, I believe Magneto has
00:11:47.140
moved from an actual arch villain to sort of an anti-hero. So I'm offended by Elon Musk's tweet.
00:11:54.260
If you want to have a villain, how about Galactus? That's your George Soros. Galactus is always on the
00:12:01.480
prowl to consume planet Earth, literally consume it. He's a planet eater, his former herald being the
00:12:08.480
silver surfer, as you well know, Sheila Gunn-Reed. But George Soros seems to want to consume the planet
00:12:16.600
with vile propaganda. He hasn't come across a left-wing cause that he didn't want to fund
00:12:24.940
by the tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars. So, yeah, I think Elon Musk is going soft
00:12:33.440
on George Soros by comparing him to the master of magnetism. I say he's more of a Galactus figure.
00:12:41.380
Yeah. And, you know, lefties immediately called out Elon Musk for saying that, saying, you know,
00:12:50.320
like, you're being unfair, you're possibly being anti-Semitic because you. Yeah. Well,
00:12:58.160
and that's the big shut up is once you say like, yeah, George Soros is this progressive billionaire
00:13:02.960
that undermines public safety and the economy everywhere he goes. He's played a serious role
00:13:11.360
in degrading the major cities in the United States because he sort of has these Soros-backed
00:13:17.500
prosecutors who are soft in crime and don't, you know, there's no broken window policing, as they
00:13:22.960
said, in New York. And so you end up with just a spiral of decay and chaos in these cities. And
00:13:29.540
he is directly related to that downfall. And if you point that out, they say,
00:13:33.720
you can't be critical of him. That's being anti-Semitic. And it's like, I didn't say
00:13:37.640
anything about his religion. I don't care about his religion. It wouldn't matter what his religion
00:13:42.940
is, but that's the shut up with George Soros is when you say Soros-backed, what you mean is
00:13:47.780
you hate the Jews. Apparently that's what the other side has to say about this.
00:13:52.320
But Sheila, I'm reading this tweet that we've got on the screen right now.
00:13:55.420
Soros, also a Holocaust survivor. If memory serves, didn't George Soros during the war rat
00:14:05.360
out Jews? So far from being a Holocaust survivor, he was kind of a contributor to the Holocaust.
00:14:13.840
Yeah, I think you have to be very, very careful about how you phrase what he did during the
00:14:21.520
Holocaust. But his defenders would say he did certain things so that he could survive the
00:14:31.160
Holocaust. And that included pointing fingers and other directions from himself. So I'm not
00:14:38.160
sure if a lot of people would engage in that form of self-preservation. He did ultimately,
00:14:45.220
and then went on to be very wealthy. And then anyways, the Krasenstein says Soros gets attacked
00:14:51.620
nonstop for his good intentions, which some Americans think are bad merely because they disagree with his
00:14:57.940
political affiliations. I don't think that's why. I think it has nothing to do with his political
00:15:02.820
affiliations, but more the outcome of his good intentions, which so often we see progressive
00:15:11.460
policies cloaked as benevolence and kindness for your fellow man by letting them out on bail so that
00:15:17.540
they can rob you blind and knife your children. Yeah, absolutely. And again, you know, isn't it
00:15:24.380
amazing? Sheila, we were talking about your EV t-shirt earlier in a jocular way, but Elon Musk was such a
00:15:34.240
darling of the left just two years ago. He was making these carbon free vehicles. He was part of the EV
00:15:44.200
revolution. In fact, I would say jumpstarted it by maybe two decades, Sheila, because without the success of
00:15:52.880
Tesla and the popularity, I don't think you'd see the mainstream automakers going that route. Of course,
00:15:59.180
now they're being legislated to go that route, but that's a different discussion. And I mean,
00:16:04.400
you know, there's a Tesla. I always see it around the Avenue Road St. Clair area. And I always think of
00:16:11.800
you when I see it, Sheila, because I can just see you flipping your lid. It has a vanity license plate
00:16:18.140
and it reads RIP oil. Probably not understanding that there's a Tesla factory that needs lots of oil
00:16:28.360
to make those cars as opposed to very dumb. But you know what I'm saying? You know that somebody on the
00:16:35.680
left that hates fossil fuels, that is right into the whole big reset. And once Elon Musk became a
00:16:45.760
champion for free speech, the left went, what? Free speech? What is this? You know, so I just can't
00:16:54.980
help but notice the perverse irony at play here. Oh, they just hate that there's like one billionaire
00:17:00.520
on our side. Like just one. I think maybe Peter Thiel, but he's sort of more quiet. This like Elon Musk
00:17:10.440
bought and probably overpaid for a social media platform that is still at risk of going bankrupt
00:17:18.820
and going completely defunct just to prove a point about how he is convicted to free speech.
00:17:26.740
Yeah. You know, and they're just mad that we have one millionaire on our side and they have all of
00:17:31.700
these billionaires that are meddling in politics and shaping the social fabric of the United States.
00:17:37.600
And this other billionaire is just like, I just want you guys to have your say. Wouldn't that be
00:17:42.940
cool? They hate him. They viscerally hate him. We have a video of Elon Musk being asked about his
00:17:52.180
tweet saying that George Soros reminds him of Magneto. This should be good. But how do you make
00:18:00.200
a choice? You don't see, I mean, in terms of when you're going to engage. I mean, for example,
00:18:04.980
even today, Elon, you tweeted this thing about George Soros. Well, I'm looking for it because
00:18:11.420
I want to make sure I quote it properly. But I mean, you know what you wrote, but you basically
00:18:15.300
It reminds me of Magneto. This is like, you know, calm down, people. This is not like
00:18:18.680
made a federal case out of it. You said he wants to erode the very fabric of civilization
00:18:24.320
and Soros hates humanity. Like when you do something like that, do you think about it?
00:18:28.360
Yeah, I think that's true. That's my opinion. Okay. But why share it? Why share it? Especially
00:18:32.340
because, I mean, why share it when people who buy Teslas may not agree with you? Advertisers
00:18:38.180
on Twitter may not agree with you. Why not just say, hey, I think this, you can tell me,
00:18:43.560
we can talk about it over there. You can tell your friends, but why share it widely?
00:18:48.700
I mean, this is freedom of speech. I'm allowed to say what I want to say.
00:18:52.680
You absolutely are. But I'm trying to understand why you do, because you have to know it's got a,
00:18:56.580
there, it puts you in a, in the middle of a, the partisan divide in the country. It makes you
00:19:01.880
a lightning rod for criticism. I mean, do you like that? I, you know, people today saying he's an
00:19:07.280
anti-Semite. I don't think you are. No, I'm definitely, I'm like, I'm like a pro-Semite,
00:19:11.580
if anything. I, I believe that probably is the case, but why would you even introduce the idea
00:19:17.280
then that that would be the case? I mean, listen, we don't want to make this a George
00:19:22.540
Starr's interview. No, God, no. I don't, I don't want to at all, but I'm, what I'm trying,
00:19:26.100
even came up though in the annual meeting. I mean, you know, do your tweets hurt the company? Are
00:19:31.240
there Tesla owners who say, I don't agree with his political position because, and I know it because
00:19:35.780
he shares so much of it. Or are there advertisers on Twitter that Linda Yaccarina will come and say,
00:19:40.100
you got to stop, man. Or, you know, I can't get these ads because of some of the things you tweet.
00:19:58.920
there's a scene in the Princess Bride. Great movie. Great movie. Um, where he confronts the person
00:20:35.980
I'll say what I want to say. And if, if, if, uh,
00:20:38.880
if the consequence of that is losing money, so be it.
00:20:48.020
that reporter is out to lunch. He seems not willing to accept the answers Elon Musk is giving him.
00:20:56.240
Uh, this is his opinion. Uh, he believes in freedom of speech. Uh, he will say what he wants
00:21:03.760
to say. These are all Elon Musk quote, but there was one really telling giveaway in terms of what
00:21:09.580
that reporter with CNBC said. And that was, uh, what advertisers might not agree with you. Um,
00:21:19.180
Sheila, since I've come up through journalism school, I can tell you there is a deep separation
00:21:25.020
of church and state when it comes to editorial and advertising. He's a, he's a reporter. He's
00:21:32.660
editorial. He shouldn't give a tinker's damn about what advertisers think. He's there to tell a story
00:21:39.320
uh, pro con or neutral. So, or is maybe CNBC, Sheila, maybe they are very advertiser
00:21:48.660
focused in their reporting. You know, we wouldn't want to say anything bad about Pfizer in our
00:21:55.000
reporting of the pandemic, you know, because, uh, look how many millions of dollars Pfizer is
00:22:01.020
contributing to our network. Uh, this guy, as far as I can tell is a journalistic whore. Uh,
00:22:07.640
there's no other way to say it, uh, politely. Uh, that's my thoughts. What are yours, Sheila?
00:22:13.100
Yeah. Isn't that interesting? That guy just told us a little bit about the inner workings of major
00:22:19.060
news corporations that maybe the advertisers aren't going to like what we say. So we're just
00:22:24.380
not going to say them. That's what he expected Twitter to do. And Twitter for all intents and
00:22:30.840
purposes is a publisher at this point. Um, it's funny to see how outraged they are. So first of
00:22:37.140
all, he says, people might think that you're anti-Semitic and he's, you know, Elon Musk said,
00:22:42.760
I'm, I'm pro-Semitic, or I guess the right word is a philo-Semite. Um, and the journalist says,
00:22:50.620
well, why would you bring it up? But he didn't, you did. Yeah. Like you, you did. He didn't say
00:22:55.660
anything about George Soros being Jewish. You guys did. Um, but again, how outraged these people
00:23:02.420
are that someone dare speak their mind on a platform they paid. What was it? Nearly $50
00:23:08.600
billion for. If he bought the platform for $50 billion, he can tweet whatever the hell he wants.
00:23:16.100
And that's the whole point of him buying it is so that he can tweet what he wants and we can tweet
00:23:21.200
what he, what we want, but how frightened they are that there is a counterbalance to the likes of
00:23:29.240
Bud Light, Miller Lite, Nike, uh, Hershey's, all these companies that are just woke, woke, woke,
00:23:35.600
woke, woke, woke, woke, and you have to put up with it. And they don't care what you think as a
00:23:39.800
consumer. They literally don't care. They just barf their politics out onto you. And if you like it,
00:23:46.360
great. And if you don't, you can go somewhere else. And that, that's sort of the free market,
00:23:50.280
but when it works on the other side, they don't like it one bit. Um, especially, I mean, what,
00:23:57.360
what a great example today is it's the, whatever the day against transphobia, homophobia, biphobia,
00:24:04.780
whatever, all the major corporations are going to self-flagellate on the internet, um, about how
00:24:10.740
they're against this. And we're like, we know you had a rainbow can last summer for three months.
00:24:16.340
We know you're against it. Stop. Um, that it's going to be like that all day today. It's going
00:24:21.840
to be insufferable on the internet. Um, and that's fine. But if you have one billionaire who
00:24:27.720
tweets, whatever he feels like they lose their minds. Yeah. Has blackface, uh, made his, uh,
00:24:33.560
do rigor tweet yet? I know he's off South Korea. Maybe he's in a different time zone. Do you remember
00:24:39.820
what he had to say? Oh, there we are. We're all, we're all homophobes except him. That basically
00:24:47.200
is how it should be. Uh, how he says like, we're all sexist except him. He can grope women,
00:24:52.920
but we are the ones who are disrespecting them. It's all the same stuff. You're able to be who you
00:24:57.840
are and love whom you love free from discrimination and hate. Full stop. No ifs, ands, or buts. We'll keep
00:25:03.640
working to make that possible and we'll always stand with the LGL2S. They changed the letters
00:25:09.880
around on me again. 2SLGBTQI plus people at home and around the world. Oh, really? You're standing
00:25:20.100
with them around the world? Really? Yeah. Really? You're standing? I don't think you are. Um, ask
00:25:24.940
Iranian gays and ask Saudi gays and ask anybody in the Middle East, uh, how Justin Trudeau stands with
00:25:32.700
them while buying oil from their onerous regime regimes, um, and funding their persecution.
00:25:39.300
And Sheila, that's a little rich, isn't it? Uh, free from discrimination and hate. Uh, this coming
00:25:44.700
from the man who has lost track of the number of times he's not only painted his face, but his entire
00:25:51.040
body in a black face and, um, sticks his tongue out as if that is a behavior typical of black people.
00:26:01.320
I have no idea what the hell he's trying to convey with that. Imagine if he spoke, imagine if he spoke
00:26:07.440
of the sexual minority community in the same manner in which he speaks of the unvaccinated.
00:26:15.000
Yeah. And sticking a banana down his pants. Um, just playing on the worst racist stereotypes in
00:26:23.260
terms of black folk and people might say, Oh, but wait a minute, this is about a sexual orientation
00:26:28.020
and gender identification men. So it has nothing to do with race. Oh really? Have you looked at the
00:26:33.240
pride progress flag with the BIPOC vagina on it? Uh, the black and the brown, uh, stripes that is to
00:26:41.700
represent brown people and black people and what race has to do with gender identification and, uh,
00:26:49.280
sexual orientation. I have no idea, Sheila. And I saw another progress flag in Whitby near the school
00:26:56.900
board at a Starbucks. And not, so you had the seven rainbow colors. You had the BIPOC vagina and then
00:27:04.140
in the BIPOC vagina, you had a circle. And I think I might, I tend to be corrected. I think that means
00:27:13.080
non-binary. What I'm getting at Sheila in another decade, that flag is going to be unrecognizable
00:27:21.300
in terms of. It already aggravates my synesthesia to look at it. Like it's, I get vertigo when I look
00:27:30.760
at it because I don't know where my eyes are supposed to be. And it, I I'm a little bit of a
00:27:36.800
synesthete. So I have my senses sort of mix up sometimes and I get like an odd taste in my mouth
00:27:42.760
trying to look at that. Uh, here, if I have to bet on another symbol being added, Sheila will have
00:27:49.540
something to do with native culture, you know, maybe a feather or something and Eagle, but you
00:27:54.900
know, it's, it's, it's right now heading to everything, but the kitchen sink. And of course
00:28:00.020
they've gotten away from, you know, a crucial element of design as well as engineering, which
00:28:06.800
is less is more. Once you start doing all this monkey business, it becomes a mishmash of angles,
00:28:14.760
colors, you name it. It's kind of like the flag version of the Pontiac Aztec right now.
00:28:19.540
Yeah. I don't know where to look. Oh, by the way, I noticed in your video yesterday,
00:28:24.840
I don't know if it's been published yet, but, uh, one of those, uh, police liaison officers,
00:28:30.100
he had like the Canadian flag, but it was like the rainbow Canadian flag. Yeah. Uh, and there's
00:28:36.740
so much controversy around like the thin blue line patch. They don't want cops to have like
00:28:42.220
that. They want them off their uniforms. I don't know if they, they've accused it of being associated
00:28:47.780
with white supremacy. And it's like, actually it's about cops standing together with other cops.
00:28:53.080
Um, and they, they don't want those on their uniforms. They say, no, it should just be the
00:28:57.620
Canadian flag, except what I saw the other day. Yeah. It's probably standard issue by the,
00:29:02.260
by the force. It's unbelievable. Yeah. That was officer Chevalier. Uh, he is one of the speakers
00:29:08.180
in the transgender training module that all Toronto police have to not only take, but they have to pass.
00:29:14.520
So if they have dissenting answers, they have to take the test over again. It's absolute
00:29:19.040
compliance. And just to give you an idea of this fellow folks, if you haven't seen that video we
00:29:25.220
posted about the Toronto transgender teaching module, uh, officer Chevalier seems to be of the
00:29:30.840
belief that while violent crime in every category in the city, sexual assault, knifing, murders,
00:29:38.120
you name it, uh, is off the charts in Toronto. Um, evidently misgendering someone is perhaps the worst
00:29:46.560
thing that can happen. And he practices what he preaches, Sheila, because as you know, he has a
00:29:53.040
niece, but Chevalier doesn't know if his niece, uh, is currently identifying as a nephew. So instead of
00:30:02.460
using the niece word or the nephew word, he's got a new made up word, uh, nibbling, which I thought
00:30:10.900
was either a brand of licorice candy or a can of a jolly green giant corn, but nibs and nibblets.
00:30:19.480
Nibbling. Can you imagine what the good cops in the Toronto police service, when you have this
00:30:25.780
diversity hire going on about nibblings, making up words to provide, to prevent offense? Uh, it is
00:30:34.820
unbelievable. I I I'd be updating my resume. Could you have picked a less creepy word? I don't know
00:30:42.020
why that word just comes across as so creepy to me, by the way, as a parent, like if somebody referred
00:30:47.120
to my child as a nibbling, Jesus takes the wheel. Does that mean you're biting him? Yeah, exactly.
00:30:57.660
Are you putting your mouth on my child? You better hope not. Um, Olivia whispers in my ear that we're
00:31:03.560
halfway through the show and we haven't done an ad break. So let's hit an ad break and then we'll go
00:31:06.680
into, um, that amazing question yesterday that, that highly qualified, skilled journalist put to
00:31:16.120
Pierre Polyev yesterday. Um, I, it just, the, I just, I could watch it all day. There's like 10
00:31:24.880
seconds of the, 10 seconds of the video before, um, I think it's about minute 15, Polyev's face.
00:31:33.580
And then, uh, Raquel Danko or Doncho, she turns her ear. Cause she's like, am I actually even hearing
00:31:42.720
this? Like she cocks her head and turns it. Cause like what's being said is a little too crazy for
00:31:47.120
even her. So I, anyways, I've teased that enough. Let's hit an ad break. Then we'll go to that.
00:31:51.480
The media said that Canadian truckers were Russian agents controlled by Vladimir Putin.
00:32:03.980
We are here out of love for our families, our communities.
00:32:08.340
And the government put the country under martial law to stop them.
00:32:14.940
If you can't see the future in clear outline right now, you're not paying attention, but the truckers
00:32:24.240
For the first time, the woman at the heart of the trucker convoy speaks out.
00:32:28.500
Tamera Leach, passionate organizer, loving mother and grandmother, proud Métis and proud
00:32:34.200
Albertan and defiant political prisoner jailed for daring to criticize the government.
00:32:51.280
My story from the heart of the freedom convoy is the inside scoop of what really happened.
00:32:56.300
You've heard from the media and the convoy's critics.
00:32:59.740
Now hear the truth from the woman who inspired the world and made Justin Trudeau blink.
00:33:05.600
Visit theconvoybook.com to order your copy now.
00:33:14.860
Oh, I can hardly wait to read that book, Sheila Gunn-Reed.
00:33:19.220
As you tease before the ad break, let's get to that mainstream media jabroni journalist.
00:33:33.520
Well, they've sure circled the wagons around this guy.
00:33:36.460
If that were one of us, they would be like, it's Sheila from Rebel News asking a stupid
00:33:44.000
But because this guy asked absolutely idiotic question, nobody is saying who it is, even though
00:33:50.580
it's pretty clear, he's a member of the PPG, the Parliamentary Press Gallery, that they
00:33:55.000
say we're not allowed to join because we're not real journalists.
00:33:57.940
Well, you tell me if this is real journalism right here.
00:34:14.180
I mean, we've seen their standard with the Elon Musk interview.
00:34:20.500
When you talk about bail, the crime has already happened.
00:34:26.640
So how can you attribute bail to this increase in crime and should there not be more supportive
00:34:34.580
measures to prevent the crime in the first place?
00:34:38.120
Well, if you're talking about someone being on bail, they've already allegedly committed
00:34:53.040
In Vancouver, the same 40 offenders were arrested 6,000 times in a year.
00:35:15.960
And then they're released by the evening so that they can commit their final crime before
00:35:19.780
The failure of the system to not support people who have committed crimes, gone to jail,
00:35:30.940
So is this not a failure of things like social services and support for people who have committed
00:35:44.060
Are you honestly saying that it's society's fault if a repeat violent offender commits 60
00:35:53.900
I think that criminal is to blame for his own actions.
00:36:00.340
We're not talking about some kid who made one mistake when he was 19.
00:36:03.240
We're talking about people who do 60, 70 violent offenses.
00:36:24.620
So that's what that's what all the experts agree is the cause of the crime.
00:36:29.380
So have they stayed in jail the whole time on bail, in jail, not on bail, as you say,
00:36:39.400
And when they get out at the end of their sentence, they're crime free?
00:36:44.640
But what we can guarantee is the period when they're behind bars, they will not be able to do crime.
00:36:53.900
I'll just say one point, then I'll throw it over to you.
00:37:02.220
The 1982 movie Superman 2, where Clark Kent and his editor Perry White are at the Daily
00:37:08.920
Planet briefing room and he's about to be dispatched to Paris because Perry White explains
00:37:15.540
to Kent that terrorists have taken over the Eiffel Tower and they have a nuclear device.
00:37:22.020
And if they don't get paid out, they're going to nuke Paris.
00:37:30.420
And Perry White says, yeah, Kent, that's why they called them terrorists, right?
00:37:37.520
Yeah, they're called criminals because they committed crime.
00:37:42.720
We have to find the name of this reporter, Sheila, and scrum him.
00:37:49.940
And given that Rachel Gilmore is, or I should say, was on the Hill at one point, that's saying
00:38:02.880
And I see the other journalists like sort of circling the wagons around him like, oh,
00:38:07.940
maybe he was inarticulate in his question, but it's a good question.
00:38:12.400
Or they also say, the newsrooms aren't giving us time to prepare our questions.
00:38:16.820
And so when we turn up, that's what Rachel Gilmore said.
00:38:20.500
She basically said, so when we turn up and have no idea what we're going to say or what
00:38:25.620
we're going to ask or why we're even there, it's not our fault for not being good at our
00:38:31.820
jobs or being like aware of the news of the day.
00:38:35.400
It's literally your job, by the way, you're a journalist.
00:38:39.720
It's our boss's fault that we turn up at these things completely clueless.
00:38:43.960
And these are the same people who say, Rebel News, you can't join the PPG.
00:38:47.760
You can't join the Parliamentary Press Gallery.
00:38:49.980
I think it's fascinating that these are the same journalists who are like, Tamara Leach,
00:38:57.380
They held her for like almost 50 days without bail.
00:39:03.400
But they want violent criminals out on bail, like the very same day, as long as they tell
00:39:10.160
a judge, oh, for sure, judge, I'll be good this time.
00:39:13.740
And the judge is like, you weren't good yet, like literally yesterday.
00:39:24.340
Because, again, not only are these the same journalists who are like lock up to Tamara
00:39:29.120
That little woman is a terrorist, but they're also like, Sheila, oh, she's a terrorist because
00:39:37.100
And so the person she misgendered had to go and get an IV drip of wokeism at the hospital
00:39:46.560
And also, Sheila, you should go to jail forever because you're a law abiding gun owner.
00:39:50.600
But the government made your guns illegal through the stroke of a pen.
00:39:54.200
So you're a terrorist, but the guy who actually didn't go through all the same hoops I did
00:39:58.380
to own the firearms that I have, who probably have them stolen or trafficked across the border
00:40:02.480
at Six Nations, he can get out on the same day.
00:40:07.000
He's not really a criminal because society has done him wrong because he didn't grow up
00:40:12.420
with privilege like I did, which I definitely didn't.
00:40:15.880
Also, let me just prattle on for just one more second.
00:40:19.000
The journalist here, who obviously is a privileged white male, sounds like, he, I'm going to
00:40:26.960
guess, grew up with far more privilege and wealth than I did as a child.
00:40:31.400
But he supposes that someone who grew up like me, without much of anything whatsoever, that
00:40:36.800
we're just destined to be criminals because of how society has done us wrong instead of
00:40:44.220
it being a series of choices we made to be dirtbags or not.
00:40:48.920
And so he's got a real bigotry of low expectations against people who grow up in lower socioeconomic
00:40:58.000
Well, Sheila, to paraphrase the late Jerry Springer, two final thoughts.
00:41:02.920
One is I can tell you who is smiling like a treasured cat right now.
00:41:07.460
And it's blackface himself, because here is a journalist on the taxpayer payola, and he's
00:41:16.800
hitting the right notes when it comes to blackface's brand of liberalism, you know, systemic issues.
00:41:25.640
Nothing about self-determination, willpower of the individual.
00:41:33.580
The second thing is this, Sheila, talk about being out of touch.
00:41:37.960
Let's not forget that 10 out of 10 premiers campaigned for bail reform, three out of three
00:41:49.580
That's 13 out of 13 leaders in this Canada, regardless of political affiliation, said, fix
00:42:01.920
That example, the same 40 offenders responsible for 6,000 crimes, Sheila.
00:42:09.220
So this guy is taking the viewpoint that isn't even shared by the vast majority of Canadians,
00:42:17.540
if you believe the, you know, the point of view of the provincial and territorial leaders
00:42:23.260
who would not campaign on something that would be unpopular with the voter base.
00:42:29.340
Yeah, this is directly actually from Justin Trudeau's playbook.
00:42:33.360
It is directly the motivation for the most recent reforms on sentencing for certain gang-related
00:42:43.220
offenses, violent offenses, including gun-related offenses.
00:42:47.500
So they removed the mandatory minimum sentencing for a whole host of seriously violent crimes,
00:42:54.960
crimes that are largely committed by organized criminals because of systemic racism, which
00:43:02.440
was one of the reasons they gave, which again is just the bigotry of low expectations.
00:43:09.080
So this is exactly the question this journalist is asking.
00:43:14.560
It's systemic racism that's making these people commit the crimes.
00:43:18.420
So even if that were true, why is letting them out to commit more crimes the solution to that?
00:43:23.540
Like literally, why is that, why is that the solution?
00:43:28.440
Even if you believe systemic racism is making people do these things, how is just the revolving
00:43:34.660
door of the legal system wherein they continue to plague their communities, the solution to
00:43:41.460
Keep them in jail and reform them because part of, part of going to jail is not just punishment,
00:43:48.680
but also hopefully reformation and you need some time behind bars to reform, but you don't
00:43:55.220
get to have that if they just keep letting you back out.
00:44:02.100
They don't give a tinker's damn about innocent victims.
00:44:05.000
And the reason is they have no empathy with blackface.
00:44:11.340
And so the idea of him being victimized, well, that just isn't going to happen.
00:44:20.820
Do you think Sheila, the world has become the Jerry Springer show?
00:44:24.840
Like all the insanity that he presented as a so-called reality TV.
00:44:39.480
Not to go off on a tangerine, but I always loved at the very end of the Jerry Springer
00:44:44.760
show, Jerry would have his final thought where he'd weigh in as a moral authority.
00:44:50.420
And it'd be like, you know, yeah, in the final analysis, maybe it's not a very good
00:44:55.480
ethical decision to have a sexual affair with a transvestite midget.
00:45:03.320
It was always like the lesson about being honest.
00:45:06.600
Like if everybody was honest, we wouldn't be here.
00:45:11.320
And then we should go to this breaking news from Josh Alexander, who is in Calgary this
00:45:18.080
And then I want to talk about, um, this, um, UCP announcement from the other day about,
00:45:26.760
Uh, I just want to address some criticisms levied at me about my support of this new law.
00:45:34.340
Getting too personal, but, um, anyways, let's, uh, hit an ad break and then we'll go to this
00:45:41.400
I am doing something today that I have never tried before.
00:45:45.180
Listen up, I'm looking for collaborators in a new and exciting initiative.
00:45:50.280
As you most likely know, YouTube a long time ago demonetized Rebel News and we are 100%
00:45:58.380
Now, while our supporters are fantastic at helping us cover legal campaigns and special
00:46:02.820
reporting missions, unfortunately, the reality is our day-to-day operational expenses often
00:46:08.240
exceed our income stream, which is crazy if you think about it, because my videos across
00:46:13.840
all platforms attract hundreds of thousands of views and sometimes even millions.
00:46:19.040
So I want to share that reach with the right partners.
00:46:22.840
If you have a product or business and want to enter a win-win relationship with me, please
00:46:28.760
go to rebelnews.com forward slash ads and fill in the form to let me know.
00:46:35.840
I need to believe in your business or product so I can sell it proudly for you.
00:46:42.360
And for successful applicants, I will guarantee a minimum view count.
00:46:46.680
Meaning, even if your ad is published on the less popular reports, we'll keep promoting
00:46:51.960
your business or product until it gets the agreed minimum eyeballs.
00:46:56.040
So again, if you have a cool company or product that either wants to take advantage of my reach
00:47:02.260
or want to support my work through advertising in a way that you can write it off as a tax deduction
00:47:10.420
or both, head over to rebelnews.com forward slash ads and hopefully we can join forces soon.
00:47:25.560
No, but I do have a bit of an ad that I need to get out of my system right now.
00:47:32.620
And when I first heard about this company, I was like, oh, that's interesting.
00:47:37.000
But you know me, I'm kind of a bit of a fitness junkie.
00:47:41.360
I'm also, I look at my body as like a series of chemical reactions with the human soul attached to it.
00:47:48.300
So I like to sort of biohack myself a little bit sometimes and add things in and cut things out
00:47:54.900
And so when I heard about this new company, I was like, okay, let's, what does the research say
00:48:00.580
about what they're, they're selling, what they're doing?
00:48:03.840
And I was astounded at how backed in research it is and how the mainstream media doesn't want you
00:48:10.540
to know about this research and the things that you can do.
00:48:13.500
And I'm sort of doing this, as I call it in our staff meetings, a bit of a prairie chicken mating dance,
00:48:18.140
about how I'm going to talk about this because like one of us has to go one way
00:48:23.620
And we sort of, the point happens, but I can't talk about a lot of it because we're on YouTube
00:48:29.400
and YouTube and Facebook are very specific about the things that we can say.
00:48:34.080
And I don't want to get the channel canceled and then we can't talk to you ever again.
00:48:37.160
So I want to tell you about a new company that just launched in Canada.
00:48:41.520
And the reason I want to do that is because over the last two years,
00:48:43.860
I think it's been pretty clear that our medical system has failed us all,
00:48:48.340
kowtowing to oppressive government health policies and a lack of natural choices
00:48:53.940
and your autonomous choices in staying healthy and making your own decisions for yourself.
00:48:59.600
Many of you were vaccinated against unemployment as opposed to disease.
00:49:05.740
And many of you decided to vaccinate your children against social isolation.
00:49:10.700
And I think some of you may have some regrets about that.
00:49:17.040
So this is where the wellness company comes in.
00:49:19.820
By unequivocally and unapologetically standing up for medical freedom
00:49:23.720
and the right to affordable health care, TWC, that's the wellness company,
00:49:28.940
they champion the right to make one's own choices for their body.
00:49:34.180
They strive to build a new health care system that earns people's trust,
00:49:41.180
and they offer the highest quality practitioners who align at their core
00:49:45.440
with their fundamental belief to put the patients first.
00:49:47.780
And a lot of these people who are involved in this company,
00:49:50.300
I know a few of them, and they survived cancel culture
00:49:54.000
and they were some of the earliest objectors to medical coercion.
00:49:57.720
Now, the fabric of this company has been woven together by its medical team,
00:50:02.160
as I said, whose courage and bravery in their fight for medical freedom and truth,
00:50:08.460
will help ensure improved outcomes, convenient access to physicians,
00:50:13.300
and lower costs for health care and for patients.
00:50:16.260
And they have some very interesting supplements,
00:50:22.100
I went looking for the research myself because I thought,
00:50:24.540
what a great idea for all those people who now have regrets, remorse.
00:50:56.320
There's one product there that I think I'm going to be quite an evangelizer for.
00:51:08.880
where I was getting so many colds for some reason.
00:51:12.880
And a friend of mine brought me down to a fantastic health food store.
00:51:17.740
And I've been taking these supplements ever since.
00:51:21.260
I'm also a fan, of course, of traditional medicine.
00:51:31.280
Maybe there's something I can add to my daily routine.
00:51:35.140
And by the way, you've given me an idea, Sheila,
00:51:40.460
Maybe that could be the next illustration we put on the Pride Progress flag.
00:51:51.220
And they're sort of like stomping their feet and dancing in different directions
00:51:59.420
That's unfortunately what I have to do when I talk about things
00:52:04.120
as big tech sensors lurk above us to get us cancelled
00:52:09.400
So anyways, that's twccanada.health backslash rebel
00:52:13.000
to find out the things that I just couldn't say to you right now
00:52:18.500
Let's go to Joshua Alexander, young man from Your Way.
00:52:23.360
He's kicked out of school for standing up for the rights of girls
00:52:42.760
Because Calgary, despite the freedom-mindedness of the people who live there,
00:52:48.200
the government is quite authoritarian, at least the municipal government,
00:52:54.340
which prevents drag, anti-drag protests near government-funded facilities,
00:53:01.320
which, I mean, if you can't protest the government,
00:53:06.060
Especially how the government is allocating the use of government facilities
00:53:09.960
So anyways, Josh Alexander, young man, is in Calgary.
00:53:19.000
he was taken away in handcuffs by Calgary's finest.
00:54:20.440
Get out of my way, why are you holding it on me, I've done nothing to you, get out of
00:54:50.440
I'm not talking about this, I said the girl that you grabbed the car stuck.
00:55:55.440
Who, by the way, get away with murder by draping themselves in the trans flag.
00:56:00.440
Again, that's like Superman's cloak of invulnerability.
00:56:03.440
We dare not do anything anti-trans or perceived to be anti-trans.
00:56:07.440
We see his movements being impeded because he can't get to where he wants to go.
00:56:17.440
He gets handcuffed by that jabroni in the cowboy hat.
00:56:21.440
You know, Sheila, we try to back the blue here.
00:56:28.440
But, and we all know how horrible the Montreal Police Service is.
00:56:37.440
The Calgary force, it's becoming a photo finish in terms of who is the worst.
00:56:42.440
And I know this is breaking news that just happened minutes ago.
00:56:46.440
Do we have any idea why he was ostensibly arrested and handcuffed?
00:56:52.440
Or is there a new law that was enacted overnight that it is illegal for someone to be a victim of physical violence?
00:57:03.440
Yeah, there's an Antifa mob on the front lawn of a high school in Calgary.
00:57:09.440
And the kid there to counter the Antifa mob is the one that gets taken away in handcuffs.
00:57:16.440
I also saw the police standing right off to the side as he got shoved.
00:57:20.440
And then they go in to extract him, not for his own safety.
00:57:24.440
If they had said, Josh, you got to get out of here.
00:57:37.440
And we also had Alex Daliwal, one of our journalists, also there.
00:57:41.440
So we had a full contingent of rebel news journalists.
00:57:48.440
And there's a reason why the morale of the Calgary police force is absolutely in the gutter.
00:57:53.440
It somehow manages to find a way to decline year over year when it's already excessively low.
00:58:00.440
And this is how good cops just get quiet retirement, quiet quitting, as they say.
00:58:06.440
Or they just move over to traffic and they don't want to do this stuff because it's gross.
00:58:13.440
So we're arresting high school students against girls having to share a bathroom with boys.
00:58:20.440
I'm not sure that's why anybody went to Police Depot.
00:58:23.440
Well, I'm sure Officer Chevalier and his nibbling approved back here in Toronto, Sheila.
00:58:29.440
But, you know, this is not a one off for the Calgary cops.
00:58:36.440
As you know more than anyone, Sheila, look at their war on pastors in that city.
00:58:41.440
The takedown of Artur Pawlowski on a rain-soaked, busy highway.
00:58:49.440
Look at how a female Calgary police officer was going to use her taser on a kid playing hockey outdoors.
00:58:59.440
Evidently, he was the second coming of Typhoid Mary.
00:59:03.440
There is something that is bloody rotten in this police culture in Calgary.
00:59:13.440
That's the only way to turn a culture around in a police force, Sheila.
00:59:18.440
You have to start at the top and work your way down and install a new culture because these cops, at worst, are incompetent.
00:59:28.440
And at best, well, no, I think at worst, they're malicious.
00:59:36.440
At best, they're incompetent, I should say, because I'm looking at the video evidence.
00:59:43.440
I see a kid, a high school kid, getting shoved around, being impeded, being screamed at, and he's taken away in handcuffs.
01:00:03.440
You don't bend the knees to the bullies because that's what's happening right now,
01:00:07.440
especially when you see members of the transgender community who self-identify as violent thugs.
01:00:16.440
And law enforcement does nothing or they even get a good giggle out of it.
01:00:23.440
Yeah, like I'll even agree with a cop who said, like, look, if they said, look, there's one of him, 20 of them.
01:00:31.440
We take the path of least resistance when we are maintaining public safety.
01:00:35.440
And so we extracted him from that situation for his own safety because he was going to get hurt.
01:00:40.440
It's easier to take one boy away than send along 20 Antifa cat moms and dads in another direction.
01:00:48.440
Fine. But that's not what happened. He was taken away in handcuffs and arrested.
01:00:56.440
But I did see him get shoved, the cops watch and then not do anything about it.
01:01:04.440
I think the worst example of egregious policing is the cop that argued with Tim Stevens over Bible scriptures as they were arresting him in front of his sobbing children.
01:01:20.440
I don't know why it just sits so wrong and it stings so wrong for me.
01:01:32.440
And I know when we're in Calgary, when we're working on the streets in Calgary and Edmonton, too, we get cops who are like, yeah, keep it up, guys. You're awesome.
01:01:43.440
And that's why I dislike the bad cops so much is because they trade on the reputations and the trust built by those good cops who care about civil liberties.
01:01:54.440
Indeed, I think the biggest critics of bad cops are not members of the general public.
01:02:01.440
They are the good cops because it tarnishes them.
01:02:06.440
And but this has there has to be an end to this.
01:02:09.440
I know our Calgary team is working hard on this story, even as we speak.
01:02:13.440
We'll get some answers later and let's find out what the most.
01:02:28.440
We've got journalists being thrown out of Rachel Notley press conferences and kids being arrested in the streets after they're being assaulted by Antifa.
01:02:40.440
Well, hopefully she'll be our provincial premier again.
01:02:45.440
Danielle Smith made a recent announcement, a very powerful announcement, and I think an announcement that will really serve to make life better for families suffering through the drug addiction of their loved ones,
01:03:03.440
but also communities suffering through the opioid crisis.
01:03:08.440
Do we have a clip of Adam or we just have the announcement?
01:03:13.440
So this is the OK, so this is the announcement that Premier Danielle Smith made.
01:03:20.440
You can see members of the Indigenous community with her about a very, I guess, a new policy regarding drug treatment for violent drug addicts.
01:03:32.440
So people who are literally out of their minds, violent on drugs.
01:03:36.440
And when you hear this announcement, you're going to be like, yeah, that's perfectly common sense.
01:03:41.440
A reelected United Conservative government will develop and pass the Compassionate Intervention Act to ensure those gripped by addiction get healthy and have the opportunity to have a new life.
01:03:55.440
The act would allow for a family member, doctor, psychologist or police officer to make a petition to a specially appointed non-criminal judge to issue a treatment order.
01:04:04.440
The court would be able to divert an addict who is an imminent danger to themselves or others to treatment instead of jail.
01:04:11.440
This step would be a last resort in order to save lives and to prevent the overdose deaths, assaults and attacks happening in Alberta as a result of drug use.
01:04:19.440
If someone is an imminent danger to themselves or others, we will do whatever we can to save their life and help them get better.
01:04:34.440
That's the love that's needed for this crisis, Sheila.
01:04:37.440
Listening to that makes me want to cry because I know the impact that the opioid crisis has on families and innocent children and their communities.
01:04:47.440
I mean, drug addiction is like a black hole of crime and social decay.
01:05:04.440
They are under extreme influence of drugs to the point where it is damaging their mental health.
01:05:09.440
And they may never recover mentally and psychologically from the chemical pollution that they've poured onto their brain.
01:05:17.440
They poisoned themselves and now they are violent.
01:05:29.440
And so this is a last resort measure so that cops, psychologists and family members, thank God, can petition a judge.
01:05:38.440
So there's an extra layer of accountability here.
01:05:42.440
Lay the facts out before this person and then they can issue a confinement order to drug treatment, to drug treatment and not jail.
01:05:50.440
That's because it is because ultimately, how is it how is it compassion to leave these people to languish in their addiction?
01:06:00.440
And maybe you're to the point like so many people are where you don't even care about the addict anymore.
01:06:05.440
You just care about the damage that they're doing to their kids.
01:06:07.440
How is it compassionate to leave that person in their suffering, to give them a safe supply of poison to languish in their disease?
01:06:17.440
How is that a better alternative than what this premier is proposing?
01:06:21.440
And I've gotten some criticism from people who say, Sheila, you obviously do believe in medical coercion.
01:06:28.440
Then all of the things you said about the vaccine mandates were untrue because you believe the government should have the right to decide what people do with their bodies.
01:06:41.440
And I reject that wholeheartedly because there is a there's a lot of daylight in between someone of sound mind.
01:06:50.440
Saying, I want to wait and see, I I'm perfectly healthy, I'm no danger to anybody around me, even if I do get sick, I'm not a danger.
01:07:02.440
I don't want to take this medicine that is unproven to be able to go to work, go to school, go to a hockey game, whatever.
01:07:13.440
There's a hell of a lot of difference in between that person making an informed medical decision for themselves and a violent out of their mind drug addict who might burn down your house with your children in it.
01:07:30.440
Sorry, but there's a lot of daylight in between the two.
01:07:33.720
And anybody who can't see the nuance, I'm sorry.
01:07:38.420
It's the same. I guess it's the same dishonest argument is when people who say, Sheila, you can't be like for people making their own medical decisions about what they do to their body and be simultaneously pro-life.
01:07:55.260
Someone who is saying, I don't need to take this vaccine against a disease that's not going to make me gravely ill if I do get the disease anyway.
01:08:04.200
Advocating for that person's rights doesn't make it incompatible for me to agree with this new drug policy of the premier.
01:08:15.640
I mean, to say that someone who's out of their mind on drugs and violent, beating their children, dropping fentanyl on the floor that little kids can pick up and die instantly, that person is nowhere the same as a welder who just wants to go to camp and earn a living for his family.
01:08:37.580
I have nothing to add. You really nailed it there.
01:08:41.020
And speaking of drug addiction and piss poor law enforcement, we've got to get to this subject very quickly.
01:08:50.480
Anthony Fury, who used to be a Toronto Sun columnist and then went over to True North, and he's a superb columnist.
01:09:02.180
So don't hold his mainstream media credentials against them, folks.
01:09:12.700
That's literally the town square in Toronto to kick off.
01:09:16.200
Well, not to kick off, but to do a presser because Anthony Fury is one of 102 people running for mayor in Hogtown, if you can imagine.
01:09:28.520
And if you can imagine this, folks, and our good friend of the Sun, Joe Wormington, he had a column in today's paper.
01:09:39.300
Anthony Fury was interrupted when he was trying to do this presser next to the Toronto sign, next to the reflecting pool of Nathan Phillips Square, by City Hall security guards that said,
01:09:52.100
you can't do that here, you're not allowed to run your yap in the town square for political reasons, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:10:01.460
And he was frog marched out to basically the sidewalk facing Queen Street.
01:10:05.760
At the same time, Joe notes two drug addicts stagger out of the City Hall bathroom, clearly hopped up on something, God knows what.
01:10:22.500
And I want to remind our viewers, Sheila, I think this was one of our masterpiece videos from July of 2020, when the disgraced ex-mayor of Toronto, John Tory,
01:10:35.960
I guess he was too busy horizontally jogging with a subordinate staffer at the time.
01:10:42.520
But a bunch of grifters and their homeless stooges took over Nathan Phillips Square, not overnight, folks, for three weeks.
01:10:58.060
And when we and others went to cover this, security and even police descended upon us and kicked us off the square, threatened us with arrest,
01:11:11.580
even though these violent, filthy thugs turned probably the second most photographed venue in Toronto next to the CN Tower into a grotesque, tense city for three weeks.
01:11:25.880
And Anthony Fury, that is running on a law and order platform and trying to make the city clean again.
01:11:36.920
I don't know if we want to show a clip with some of the audio because it only enhances the insanity.
01:11:48.200
Why isn't Anthony Fury or any candidate allowed to get up on a crate and say a couple of minutes about why I want to be mayor?
01:12:00.700
You know, we saw this happen in Calgary to Pastor Art Poloski, who is a political candidate as well.
01:12:08.140
He was given the bums rush out of Calgary City Hall.
01:12:13.380
And actually, I think he was given a trespass notice.
01:12:16.460
The current administration does not have exclusive use of these facilities.
01:12:20.700
Just because you're the mayor doesn't mean that no other mayoral candidates are allowed to use it.
01:12:26.120
That's literally, literally, well, in this instance, Toronto's town square.
01:12:34.280
And if drug addicts are allowed to shuffle around it, surely people who want to clean up the drug addicts can have a press conference there.
01:12:47.280
I would say of the 102 candidates, he's in my top three.
01:12:50.660
If I still lived in Toronto, I had my exit strategy kick in 25 years ago last April.
01:12:59.440
And I think the next move, in case blackface gets returned, it's to the Republic of Costa Rica.
01:13:06.080
But anyway, I would say my top three candidates, Anthony Fury, Rob Davis, and of course, funny man Ben Benkis.
01:13:15.400
Because, folks, a stand-up comedian with zero political experience,
01:13:20.920
he would be an improvement over so many of the other jabronis that are running for mayor of the city,
01:13:26.020
including, I must say, the front-runner, Olivia Chow, a far leftist, if elected,
01:13:31.260
will put Toronto on the rails to become the northeast version of Portland, Oregon.
01:13:44.580
No, I was going to say I would vote for Ben's character, the human-monkey hybrid,
01:13:57.040
And before I get to the chats, I should tell you that we have exclusive Rebel emojis
01:14:07.820
I'm just looking at them out of the corner of my eye,
01:14:10.560
because apparently the producers communicate with me in a chat that I never pay attention to.
01:14:17.660
And we've got special emojis for our monthly Rumble subscribers and more to be added in the coming days.
01:14:24.600
So, you can show your Rebel pride in the chat and send suggestions for other emojis.
01:14:30.020
And we have some fun internal emojis here at Rebel News, including David Menzies.
01:14:38.900
So, anyways, if you at home want access to like a David Menzies emoji, let us know.
01:14:48.300
I thought we needed the express written approval of Major League Baseball to do something like this.
01:14:54.660
I don't know if you've ever seen us talking and we use like your emojis in the chat to talk to each other all the time.
01:15:04.540
I'm like drinking a coffee and I'm super judgy, but yours are good.
01:15:10.580
We've got some chats and I'm 60 minutes late for a staff meeting.
01:15:15.440
I think there was one earlier, Olivia or Efron, that I haven't seen yet.
01:15:23.020
If you want to drop that at the bottom of the chat so I don't have to scroll all the way back up and look for it, that would be great.
01:15:35.240
Okay, I haven't seen the old one, so maybe I'll get to the old one last.
01:15:39.100
So Kenzie67 gives us 10 bucks and admonishes us.
01:15:48.340
She said, again, Rebel, I'm disappointed with your coverage of the National Citizens Inquiry.
01:15:54.820
You may have had reporters there, but still little reporting.
01:16:03.000
We can't just show up with a mobile billboard at their own thing.
01:16:06.200
However, I spent two days in Red Deer at the NCI.
01:16:11.620
I live tweeted the whole thing, which is exhausting, by the way, because you're listening to the next thing, trying to remember it verbatim, but typing the thing that you already just heard.
01:16:28.700
So to say that we're not involved, I reject that wholeheartedly.
01:16:31.880
We have not only participated in the NCI as witnesses, but we have also been there as journalists.
01:16:41.340
Alexa covered the NCI in French, and she was interviewed by the NCI on their social media platforms.
01:16:49.200
Also, I think Alexa's got eight-plus interviews and reports coming from the NCI in Quebec.
01:17:02.560
And the NCI is in its final last few days in Ottawa right now, and we have a freelancer who's there for the next three days.
01:17:13.960
So to say that we are not covering the NCI, I don't think is fair.
01:17:17.400
We're also clipping NCI testimony as it's coming in.
01:17:21.360
I dare you to find somebody who's covering it more extensively than we are.
01:17:25.340
And, you know, like for me, it's not close to home for me to go to Red Deer.
01:17:30.180
And I was there for two days and then headed to Calgary to do bail hearings and come back.
01:17:37.040
So what we were sending, we remain sending people to cover the NCI.
01:17:43.040
For example, Lincoln is going from Toronto to Ottawa to cover the NCI.
01:17:47.280
So we are incurring great expense to cover these things.
01:17:49.800
And by the way, if you want to pitch in to cover our costs, to cover the NCI, rebelfieldreports.com, if you wouldn't mind.
01:17:55.900
No, Sheila, yourself included, I think our team has done a great job covering the NCI.
01:18:00.180
I will stack up our record against any mainstream media outlet in terms of the coverage of the NCI.
01:18:07.340
I see that criticism come in on the tips line every so often.
01:18:18.760
I'm like, did you go to the website and look before you sent me this email?
01:18:22.520
Well, Sheila, all I can think of are our critics wanting us to live stream it whenever there is testimony going on.
01:18:31.040
Because other than that, I don't know what more you want us to do, folks.
01:18:36.980
Like to take somebody, I don't want to say somebody like me, but to take me out of commission and sit me there for two days when I do a lot of other things at the company, that's a really big time and labor investment that we at Rebel News are making to make sure that we are covering the NCI.
01:18:51.620
So I'm really not sure what more that we can do.
01:18:57.500
I want to chalk up some of this to like internet censorship, that it's just more difficult for people to find our coverage of the NCI.
01:19:05.240
And so they think we're not really covering it because they can't really find it.
01:19:26.880
We've got a journalist there for three days who's doing video reports and written reports right now.
01:19:51.040
Kenzie goes on to say that if you wouldn't mind bringing it up on screen.
01:19:57.440
I'm not saying the woke shit is more important than the net.
01:20:02.580
So I'm not saying that woke shit isn't important, but the National Citizens Inquiry is more important right now.
01:20:10.920
And you're preaching to the converted, my friend.
01:20:19.840
Letting the culture war get to where it is right now is exactly why the government was able to do the things that it did to us during the pandemic is because we sort of didn't pay attention to the culture war.
01:20:30.620
And the culture shifted so greatly that nobody cared about civil liberties anymore.
01:20:40.320
We've got Kenzie 67 because it's another five bucks.
01:20:43.880
It says, wouldn't it be cool if there was something like a paint the night before pride marches and the rainbow stuff was blacked out?
01:20:52.300
Oh, and I know for certain you will get charged, Sheila.
01:20:55.400
A couple of years ago in the city north of me, Aurora, Ontario, there's an intersection where they've painted, you know, the lines where you're supposed to come to a stop.
01:21:09.380
But for some reason, the city decided to spend, I think it was $12,000.
01:21:15.200
I don't know how the bill gets that high to do the rainbow flag paint job instead of just white lines.
01:21:24.740
And somebody in a muscle car did a burnout and the local media covered it like a hate crime, like somebody had been kidnapped and tortured.
01:21:40.900
There was law enforcement holding a press conference.
01:21:45.720
Yeah, so whatever you do, don't take any paint, don't take any rubber onto that holy, sacred rainbow flag, especially the Pride Progress flag with the BIPOC vagina and the circle in it.
01:22:03.800
Yeah, they can vandalize our churches and burn them down.
01:22:08.380
But if you pump the brakes so that you don't run over a pedestrian in a rainbow crosswalk and you leave a little rubber, you squawk them a little, that's a hate crime.
01:22:19.500
I guess you should just run over the pedestrian, I guess, is the moral of the story here.
01:22:24.340
I'm going to plead innocent on that crime, Sheila, because the Green Goblin is completely incapable of doing a burnout.
01:22:35.620
So we've got, we've really got to wrap this up because I am late for this manager's meeting.
01:22:48.500
David Menzies, please use KAL for your male co-host and Khaleesi for the women.
01:22:54.080
I cringe every time you introduce your male co-host as queen.
01:23:00.340
Well, Odyssey viewer, that is actually an in-joke.
01:23:03.320
I do know the KAL is the male version of the Khaleesi, but in this day and age, I throw it back to you, Mr. Odyssey.
01:23:17.020
Kevin Tennant gives us five bucks and says, hey, David, you have a gift for sayings.
01:23:27.100
Maybe it's time to use some red, green lines, like keep your stick on the ice, or if they don't find you handsome, at least they'll find you handy.
01:23:35.940
Well, for you, Kevin, and of course, my co-host, Sheila Gunn-Reed, as I used to say on the Grecian formula ads, hey, two minutes for looking so good.
01:23:49.520
I just got a message from A-10, I missed the meeting.
01:23:53.100
And, you know, I rushed my whole morning so that I could get through this and then get to the meeting and then no.
01:23:57.400
Oh, that explains your new hairdo, Sheila, wild yet controlled.
01:24:01.860
You know, I had an email about my hair over the weekend on Mother's Day, and I was like, I'm not in the mood.
01:24:06.480
Oh, I just emailed the man back and said, I hope the women in your life rise to your exacting standards because I can tell you're a man of particular tastes.
01:24:18.500
Okay, is that it for our live chats and Sheila?
01:24:21.980
Yeah, it might be it for my career here at Rebel News if I miss another manager's meeting.
01:24:33.540
Well, folks, what can I tell you, what a fun show that was.
01:24:37.820
Again, special thanks to our super producers, Efren and Olivia, and of course to my beloved colleague, Sheila Gunn-Reed.
01:24:46.680
And thank you to all of you who tuned in, and especially those who gave us a financial donation, even with criticism.
01:24:58.300
I'll be back here tomorrow with another Rebel News personality.
01:25:03.580
In the meantime, as always, stay safe and stay sane.
01:25:07.740
Hey, Parmeet, do you mind if I ask a couple of questions?
01:25:27.020
Hey, Rachel, the Alberta NDP defunded wildfire management in 2016.
01:25:32.340
Well, folks, you know, we can't say we're surprised.
01:25:36.700
You know, we had come here to ask questions, be respectful, and it's unfortunate that even though this is a private venue, and we respected what security had to say, we have lots of questions to ask Notley.
01:25:54.460
Notley had no intention of taking questions from us, but you know what?
