Rebel Commander Ezra Levan is back from his family vacation in Canada. He talks about the new Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives, the "bad lip reading" moment at Super Bowl LIV, and why the Harlem Globetrotters are better than the Washington Generals.
Transcript
00:00:00.000
Ezra Levan is my name. I am the Rebel Commander here at rebelnews.com. What a pleasure to be with
00:00:19.340
you today. I took an extra few days on Christmas for family vacation in three years. It felt great
00:00:26.680
just to travel. I have not really been allowed to travel. As many Canadians, I was not allowed
00:00:33.160
to travel domestically. I'm still not allowed to travel to the United States because of that
00:00:38.680
country's rule against unjabbed people. But I managed to get away for a Christmas vacation to
00:00:45.340
a place where they do not require you to be jabbed. It's really weird that America is the most
00:00:52.020
intrusive country on that stuff. When I say most intrusive, it may be worse in communist
00:00:56.960
China. But seriously, is that the league Joe Biden is? And I thought that with the new
00:01:01.640
Republican Congress, that would be over. But they've had their shenanigans there too, haven't
00:01:06.960
they? I mean, I haven't really been paying a lot of attention to the election of the speaker.
00:01:13.700
Sure. The few things I've read about that make me side with Matt Gaetz, the Florida Trump
00:01:22.940
supporting congressman. And the reason I say that is because it looks like he managed to extract
00:01:28.500
some conservative concessions from the establishment RINO candidate. And Olivia, I don't know if you could
00:01:37.200
find it, but bad lip reading. Do you know what I'm talking about? It's this funny web, I'm not even
00:01:43.320
going to call it a website. It's just folks who, they take viral moments, whether it's from a sports
00:01:49.780
event like Super Bowl or some music event like, I don't know, halftime at the Super Bowl. They did a,
00:02:01.800
and I retweeted it this morning. I don't know if you can find it quickly, but they actually have a
00:02:05.560
great Twitter account too. It's just called bad lip reading. And they did a funny exchange between
00:02:11.460
the two factions. So I don't know enough to comment with great resolve, but it looks to me like
00:02:19.980
because of the narrowness of the Republican victory in the Congress, that some conservatives managed to
00:02:26.560
extract some conservative concessions from the RINO candidate. Yeah, that's it right there.
00:02:33.920
And so that's good news. But also this bad lip reading, you know what they do is they sort of put
00:02:42.140
a fake dialogue. They pretend that they, it's called bad lip reading because it's a joke. Obviously
00:02:49.180
you'd be a really bad lip reader to think that this is what they said. It's comedy, but it makes me
00:02:55.340
chuckle. Why don't I pump up the sound and look at this great exchange? Take a look.
00:02:59.340
What does it go for, Bill? Can you say it? Well, who knows? A really rich doctor said you were a
00:03:11.540
bummer. And I think you don't know algebra. No, we're talking science, bud. The science of what?
00:03:18.440
Is that a tiger? One of your friends promised me I could flick you in your face. Absolutely you may
00:03:24.520
not do that. Hit him in his cringy smirk for real. Say any cereal name. Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
00:03:33.960
You're like people in the 12th century. Why'd he say it like that? You're a formulated pickle popper.
00:03:41.300
He's a storm cloud. I don't like you, dude. And there's a tiger. That's it. You two guys sent
00:03:47.080
the tiger. What? No. Not me. What tiger? That's right. That is reprehensible. Okay. Yeah. Okay. I'm a horrible
00:03:55.300
person. Brad. Brad. I'll report you to Nadine. I just want your leg bones to be okay. I brought the tiger.
00:04:10.060
Hey, man, you're going to pay for dinner. You're going to drink. You know what? I'm going to report
00:04:20.840
you to Nadine. I don't know who Nadine is, but that sounds like a pretty tough threat. But you know
00:04:27.500
that part at the end there, I don't know who that congressman is who is hollering. And the other
00:04:32.280
congressman put their hand over them. That, what did they go to? 15 ballots? 15 ballots before Kevin
00:04:39.280
McCarthy won. But my shallow understanding of this says it was a good thing. Because the thing
00:04:45.220
about Kevin McCarthy and the establishment Republicans, seems to me, is there's no deal
00:04:51.360
they won't make with the Democrats. I don't know why. Are they compromised? Are they just
00:04:54.940
deal makers? They like the clubby feeling? I saw someone saying, watching the Republicans and the
00:05:02.240
Democrats work together in Congress is like watching the Harlem Globetrotters. And you know the
00:05:08.200
team that the Harlem Globetrotters would always play against? The Washington Generals. Have you ever
00:05:12.780
seen the Harlem Globetrotters? It's very entertaining. They're great basketball players,
00:05:17.320
but it's more humorous and it's a shtick, right? And they're great players. Some of them go on to the
00:05:25.700
NBA, by the way, or at least they used to. But the Washington Generals is sort of the official losing team
00:05:31.480
that always plays the Harlem Globetrotters and always does a pretty good job, but always loses.
00:05:39.000
They sort of bring the losing team with them. It's been a while since I've seen them. I don't even
00:05:43.040
remember, probably decades ago. But that's what it's like watching the Republicans and the Democrats
00:05:48.740
try and outfox each other. The Harlem Globetrotters, I don't want to spoil the ending for you.
00:05:56.020
They win every game against the Washington Generals. And the Washington Generals do that because it's
00:06:04.960
a job. They play a sport they love. And who knows, maybe if they're actually really good, they join the
00:06:09.860
Harlem Globetrotters team. They might even go on to the NBA. Why does Kevin McCarthy and the rest of the
00:06:17.880
congressional leadership love the role of the lovable losers, the Washington Generals?
00:06:26.020
When was the last time there was a negotiation in Congress that had a conservative outcome that
00:06:33.480
the good guys won? I can't think of one. So my point is, if Matt Gaetz and Lauren Boebert and other
00:06:39.460
conservative troublemakers can extract any concessions from Kevin McCarthy and the rhinos,
00:06:47.900
I call that a good thing. It took 15 ballots. Again, I call that a good thing too. Why should it be easy
00:06:53.320
for the rhinos to win? Anyhow, it's great to be back. That was just on my mind. I mean, would you
00:07:00.380
agree with me that that bad lip reading is really funny? You know, they do some funny scenes from
00:07:07.380
movies, from Star Wars, from, you know, I don't want to waste time on it, but when Beyonce, can you
00:07:16.220
indulge me? And it's just because bad lip reading, would you agree with me that was really funny? I'm going
00:07:20.940
to report you to Nadine. But, but actually underlying that the guy who was shouting and the other guy who
00:07:26.800
was covering his mouth and like that, there was some crazy showdowns there at all hours. Can you
00:07:32.620
indulge me and, and go to bad lip reading and maybe you'll find it quicker on YouTube when Beyonce
00:07:39.940
sang the anthem at the Superbowl, this was years ago, just bad lip reading Beyonce. It's just,
00:07:49.300
I know it's not political and I know it's not current events and I know it's got nothing other
00:07:53.860
than I just want to share a video with you, but it made me laugh so hard. I just want to share it
00:07:58.780
with you. Would you permit me to steal a minute of your time to share this bad lip reading video
00:08:03.200
of Beyonce? Like how can you do Beyonce bad lip reading? Well, these guys do it. Take a look.
00:08:07.740
Oh yeah. My dog, you can't see him. Put your mouth next to me. All night I scratched my mouth,
00:08:37.720
your pig. Look, way, way, way, babe. I'll try to use my words. Yeah.
00:08:51.800
I'll punch your neck, but your little sweet pig. I stroked your swine. His name was Rusty and Rusty.
00:09:19.800
Rusty. Ooh. I've got love for it. What a dull way. But your old black dog can't touch my, my behind.
00:10:25.800
Maybe, maybe it's not as funny as I think it is, but I, watching the bad lip reading for, by the way, Beyonce's an amazing singer.
00:10:32.800
And that's what makes it so funny is she's not an awful singer like that bad lip reader.
00:10:36.800
But with her mouth being covered by the mic like that so much, you can get away with, with things.
00:10:42.800
Can I extend the indulgence I'm begging of you for one more minute?
00:10:46.800
Because if you thought that was bad singing, if you thought that that is not how people should sing, I agree with you.
00:10:53.800
And that's the source of the humor there, the contradiction between how Beyonce actually sings.
00:10:58.800
And a very emotional moment and a very beautiful moment, her singing the inauguration.
00:11:02.800
And how bad lip reading just made it really funny.
00:11:06.800
Well, I've just got to show you someone who really does sing like that.
00:11:16.800
Did you guys get my email about, Olivia, did you get my email about Sophie Trudeau?
00:11:22.800
You know, I should have sent it to you in Slack.
00:11:27.800
You know, a few years ago on Martin Luther King Day, which is a very American holiday.
00:11:47.800
The Jim Crow laws, which is the post-slavery restrictions on black people.
00:11:58.800
Canada had our civil rights movement too, but we were not recovering from slavery or the same Jim Crow laws.
00:12:06.800
But there was a Martin Luther King event in Ottawa.
00:12:12.800
Well, there actually is a very old black community in Canada.
00:12:16.800
Of course, slaves fled in the Underground Railway to Canada.
00:12:22.800
There's very old black settlements in Nova Scotia, where I'm from, Calgary.
00:12:27.800
There were black cowboys more than a century ago.
00:12:29.800
So there is a black community in Canada that is old.
00:12:32.800
And of course, there's a lot of newcomers who are black.
00:12:35.800
Who would you have singing at a Martin Luther King Day event in Canada?
00:12:41.800
Well, I don't know if we have a Beyonce in our country, but Justin Trudeau's government thought the best person to sing at a Martin Luther King Day was not an African American or African Canadian, not someone with ties to black history in Canada, but his wife, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau.
00:13:02.800
And the reason I say that is because that bad lip reading version of Beyonce singing left way is actually how Sophie Gregoire Trudeau sings.
00:13:13.800
And I know I've taken too much of your time, but you will forgive me when you watch this gorgeous, gorgeous song.
00:13:24.800
As I have heard my fellow human beings and friends here today sing.
00:13:39.800
Sorry to throw this at you, but our friend, you know what?
00:13:45.800
But Gavin, the way he interprets it, he sings along.
00:13:58.800
You know, it's hard to find Rebel News videos on YouTube because they censor the algorithm.
00:14:05.800
I just typed in Gavin McKenna, Sophie, Trudeau.
00:14:07.800
They will not give you that link in the top 10 results, but they will give you the CBC saying Sophie Gregoire Trudeau serenades during MLK tribute.
00:14:19.800
Literally, you type in Gavin McInnes and you will not get this video because it's too good.
00:15:01.800
But nothing will take away what's between you and me.
00:15:41.800
I just had to show you that bad lip reading could not handle Sophie Gregoire Trudeau because
00:15:49.800
you can't make fun of her more than she does herself.
00:15:53.800
Now, I note that that was very early in Justin Trudeau's tenure as prime minister.
00:15:58.800
And Sophie Trudeau is nowhere to be seen, really.
00:16:03.800
She remembers to put her wedding ring back on her finger.
00:16:12.800
Sophie Trudeau insists on going on an exotic foreign trip with Trudeau.
00:16:16.800
But other than that, they really do lead separate lives.
00:16:19.800
I don't really want to delve into their personal problems.
00:16:23.800
I think she has removed herself from the public sphere.
00:16:28.800
And I think that should generally be respected.
00:16:30.800
I think it's going to be very interesting in the election, which I think will be held later
00:16:35.800
this year, that Pierre Polyev's wife, Anaida Polyev, if I'm saying that right, will be a very powerful force on the campaign trail.
00:16:57.800
And she doesn't have the cringe factor of Sophie Trudeau.
00:17:03.800
Because she's an immigrant from Venezuela, she's a visible minority.
00:17:09.800
I think she will be a very potent weapon on the campaign trail.
00:17:13.800
And I really didn't know how strong she was until when Pierre Polyev won the leadership of the Conservative Party.
00:17:22.800
He got two thirds of the vote, if I'm recalling, on the first ballot.
00:17:33.800
But I just wouldn't mind showing people even a few minutes of Anaida.
00:17:37.800
N-A-N-A-I-D-A, I think is how you spell it, Polyev.
00:17:57.800
And if you can find a clip of her, we'll show it.
00:18:13.800
You know, I have to say, you can never trust the algorithms these days.
00:18:30.800
allow me to express my sadness at the passing of our queen.
00:18:46.800
Mon mari et moi, nous partageons les mêmes valeurs.
00:18:49.800
Malgré que notre parcours est un peu différent.
00:18:58.800
In a working class neighborhood in the east end of Montreal.
00:19:08.800
And my family immigrated to Canada in 1995 in Montreal.
00:19:12.800
According to Oshelaga Mizernual, Puy Puntotram.
00:19:16.800
My father, he went from wearing business suits and managing a bank to jumping on the back
00:19:39.760
of a pickup truck to collect fruits and vegetables because that's what he had to do to feed his
00:19:45.520
family. The Galinda family, present here tonight, taught us hard work and that there is no greater
00:20:16.880
The Galinda family, present here tonight, taught us how to work hard and that there is no greater dignity
00:20:28.880
You know what, I won't play the whole thing for you, but young, telegenic, trilingual,
00:20:36.880
great story, great speaker, politically savvy, and I don't think that she would give a speech,
00:20:44.880
give a song on Martin Luther King Day, her song about herself and her family, and end with like that.
00:20:50.880
I just don't think a night of Polyev is that tone deaf. And I think it's a good thing for her,
00:20:58.560
for her husband, and for the country that Sophie Gregoire Trudeau has pretty much vanished from the
00:21:04.080
public scene. And I don't say that with any spite or malice. I just think it's good for everyone
00:21:09.680
involved that she's not. And it'll be interesting. I think she'll probably grudgingly come out on
00:21:15.360
election the day they declare the election. But frankly, I think that in most of photographic
00:21:22.480
images of Trudeau, the women he's seen with are typically Melanie Jolie, who there's so many
00:21:30.800
pictures of how close they are, especially on travels, that she's the de facto stand in
00:21:38.400
for Trudeau's wife, just in campaign photographs. That's just how it is.
00:21:41.520
All right. Well, we spent the first 24 minutes of this show talking about everything other than
00:21:46.160
the news. But I want to come back, because there's a lot of interesting news. But I understand that
00:21:52.480
we've got some commercials, which we got to do, because we got to pay the bills around here. And
00:21:57.920
I did get a super chat. So we're going to play commercial, we're going to come back,
00:22:01.200
I'll read the super chat. And then I'll get to the real news. So see in a moment.
00:22:10.480
It's the values. You look at Western values in Western society, and these are values we could
00:22:17.040
all relate to. But they're old world values of grit and community and perseverance.
00:22:24.160
It's a place where you can make a living with your back and your hands and a little bit of hard work.
00:22:33.360
And it's a place of opportunity. And I think as Albertans, we're fiercely protective of that.
00:22:38.560
The world's energy crisis has been grabbing newspaper headlines. In a nutshell,
00:22:43.840
we're running short of petroleum resources, and the prices are zooming upwards.
00:22:48.480
My colleagues in the government and I have come reluctantly to believe that the price of oil in
00:22:53.600
Canada must go up. This was Alberta. The origin of the Alberta separatist movement
00:22:58.640
begins with the election of Pierre Trudeau as Prime Minister. It was a deliberate and malicious
00:23:03.920
targeting in the West, which suited Pierre Trudeau just fine, just like it suits Justin Trudeau just fine.
00:23:09.200
Sunny ways, my friends. Blackface. There is an actual hostile government towards Alberta.
00:23:16.960
Why did your dad give everyone in Western Canada the middle finger?
00:23:21.280
Really, in politics, you do have to make big decisions. And whenever you make big decisions,
00:23:26.480
there's going to be people who agree with it and people who don't disagree with it.
00:23:30.080
Plenty of people want to leave this country. It's not the kind of idea you'd expect
00:23:36.480
to hear from someone who wants to win power and hold power. It's a, it is a radical idea.
00:23:43.040
And you would normalize the discussion. And so maybe Alberta wouldn't have to go because maybe the rest
00:23:51.040
of the country and the rest of the world would say, whoa, don't go. Will you accept these changes
00:23:56.720
instead? That's what happened here for Quebec. There's no Maple Leafs west of the Manitoba borders.
00:24:01.840
Why do we, why do we have a Maple Leaf by unilateral decision on Canadian flags?
00:24:07.040
Think of how the American colonists were in 1775. That's how a lot of Albertans are today.
00:24:15.760
I like that documentary. It's fun that Key and Simone, our head of documentaries made it because
00:24:26.560
he was originally an Ontarian and then went west to Alberta and sort of became a, you know,
00:24:33.040
it's a story that so many people tell of moving to Alberta and to change a place, change your luck,
00:24:37.440
change your mindset, change everything. It really is, you got that new frontier feeling to it.
00:24:43.040
All right. I promised I would talk to you about the news. And I want to talk about some COVID news.
00:24:48.960
Of course, I got to be careful because on Twitter, you can talk freely now about COVID.
00:24:53.040
You can question official narratives. On YouTube, you still can't. So I want to be careful.
00:25:02.800
But the incredible thing is that the official narratives themselves are changing.
00:25:08.000
They're admitting things that they denied short months ago. Here's a video of St. Anthony Fauci
00:25:15.040
downplaying heart damage, myocarditis, as self-limiting, almost invariably benign. By the way,
00:25:27.280
there's no such thing as benign heart disease, myocarditis. There's no such thing as mild
00:25:31.440
myocarditis. It's just, it's not like a skin rash or something. Take a look.
00:25:41.200
In a very, very rare case, some of the mRNA vaccines can cause a self-limiting,
00:25:48.160
almost invariably benign inflammatory response in the heart, which generally resolves in a very short
00:25:56.880
period of time. It is very, very rare. When you compare that with the negative effects on the heart
00:26:05.280
by myocarditis or pericarditis, which is inflammation of either the heart muscle or the covering of the
00:26:12.000
heart, and heart failure and heart medical problems, overwhelmingly, COVID itself
00:26:20.400
causes that in a dramatically higher rate than the relatively benign mild myocarditis that you might
00:26:30.000
have with a vaccine, which is very, very rare. So that little thread of proof is that in a very,
00:26:41.760
Of course, that's not quite true, is it? Because the problem with myocarditis is pronounced in young
00:26:46.800
men. Young men are not at serious risk of health problems or death from COVID itself. But they are
00:26:54.720
the most dramatically affected by myocarditis, including cases of death. What does he mean by
00:26:59.280
self-limiting? What's a self-limiting case of myocarditis? What does that even mean?
00:27:11.440
But Jimmy Fallon is just the worst. He is just the worst. And I'll have a video
00:27:19.600
for you in a second about that. But he has a new song for you about the newest COVID. Hey,
00:27:28.560
guys, new COVID variant just dropped. And Jimmy Fallon's got the song. How much money did he get paid
00:27:38.160
to write this song? There is no way this song is an organic expression of comedy or entertainment.
00:27:46.560
This is an engineered, orchestrated PR moment. And Jimmy Fallon will say or do anything. He's so
00:27:57.280
gross. I'm going to have a video for you next from Tim Dillon about this guy. But take a look
00:28:03.920
at this new song. How gross is this? Take a look.
00:28:17.520
One point five. Another friend of COVID-19 has arrived. It's a new strain, but it isn't the same.
00:28:25.600
Sounds more like Elon Musk's kid's name. It's XBB.1.5. Not UB-40 who sings red red wine.
00:28:36.320
Put on your mask when you're inside a facility. It could be a robot from a Star Wars trilogy.
00:28:43.040
It's XBB.1.5. Not OMG or MP3 or TCPY. Or an eye chart made by a really high guy.
00:28:53.600
Sounds like the password of your parents' Wi-Fi. It's XBB.1.5. XBB.1.5.
00:29:04.160
I think that's the worst thing I've ever seen in my life. No one would do that.
00:29:13.760
That is not, obviously not journalism. That's not comedy. That's not music. That's not entertainment.
00:29:20.000
That is some bizarre, psycho drama, social psyop, audience conditioning, battlefield shaping, mind control weirdness.
00:29:43.040
It's just so gross. And it's in the tradition of this super grossness by Stephen Colbert.
00:29:52.640
If you thought that was cringeworthy from Jimmy Fallon, nothing can take the cringeworthy crown from the lowest of the low.
00:30:06.420
You've just got to, you probably remember this. You can't forget this when you see this.
00:30:11.880
The absolute shill. The absolute do anything, say anything for your corporate masters.
00:30:20.200
How can you call yourself a comedian, an entertainer, a talk show?
00:30:26.100
What are you, other than a functionary, a fart catcher, a drone, an order taker, who would do this and look themselves in the mirror?
00:30:40.220
Other than someone who says, you know what? To hell with it. I'm getting old.
00:30:44.480
They're offering me so much money. I don't give a damn anymore.
00:32:25.600
And again, I don't want to sound conspiratorial,
00:32:27.600
but I'm absolutely sure that it has been hidden by the algorithm.
00:32:49.600
as nothing but a corporate shill just promoting whatever
00:32:59.600
I wonder if you guys can help me search for it.
00:33:01.600
And I really am certain that the algorithm is hiding it
00:33:15.600
It has lots of video clips of Jimmy Fallon spliced into it.
00:33:21.600
If you can find that, I'm not going to wait to find it now
00:33:25.600
I think that Jimmy Fallon's people said to YouTube,
00:33:39.600
He's an enormous source of revenue for YouTube.
00:33:42.600
Some of his videos have tens of millions of views.
00:33:45.600
He's probably had a billion views, more than a billion,
00:33:50.600
So when a comedian like Tim Dillon shows what a corporate shill
00:34:11.600
Anyways, I'm not going to spend more time at it right now,
00:34:21.600
We've got, I just feel like you've got to see that
00:34:32.600
I want to play for you a few more clips on the COVID file.
00:34:43.600
it's the first time I went on a vacation outside of Canada
00:34:47.600
I still can't go to the United States cause I'm unjabbed.
00:34:50.600
But I feel like things are getting back to normal.
00:34:53.600
like I see the odd person with masks and I see the odd person
00:34:56.600
with those, like those sort of beekeeper or sort of welders,
00:35:05.600
I feel like they're got a little bit of what's that called
00:35:08.600
Mount Munchausen syndrome, you know, where they're,
00:35:14.600
They maybe don't have that much of a personality.
00:35:20.600
They loved the COVID crisis because it gave them meaning
00:35:24.600
and they knew what the rules were and they could be great
00:35:30.600
They don't like the freedom and choice and chaos of real life.
00:35:40.600
the world's creepiest billionaire has another thought for you.
00:35:53.600
Why and how ready should we be for the next pandemic?
00:36:02.600
And so, you know, they have us practice for earthquakes.
00:36:06.600
You know, they have a fire department with lots of full time people to stop fires.
00:36:11.600
They have armies that are there to deal with wars.
00:36:17.600
But the pandemic is a disaster that they didn't prepare for.
00:36:23.600
The actual resources required to have a global surveillance team,
00:36:35.600
It's actually not going to be that expensive once the world gets organized
00:36:43.600
Because as you've said, it's not a matter of if, but when.
00:36:49.600
And are you seeing anywhere in the world where there's actual preparedness
00:36:59.600
The idea of improving the vaccine so that they block getting infection,
00:37:09.600
Being able to make very cheap diagnostics that you could literally produce billions of very quickly.
00:37:17.600
So the innovation side, I think, is starting to move.
00:37:20.600
But picking how we strengthen WHO, create a special organization dedicated to pandemics.
00:37:26.600
You know, how we staff that, how we get every country to practice, you know, for fire.
00:37:36.600
So we need a little bit of preparation so that we actually can stop something before it goes global.
00:37:42.600
You know, so we'll have lots of outbreaks, but we don't need to have pandemics.
00:37:53.600
His prescriptions are, well, maybe we can have a vaccine that blocks infection.
00:37:57.600
Yeah, that used to be the definition of a vaccine, isn't it?
00:38:03.600
Yeah, that used to be the definition of a vaccine, wasn't it?
00:38:06.600
We need to strengthen the unelected, unaccountable, China-driven World Health Organization
00:38:10.600
and have a special pandemic World Health Organization.
00:38:23.600
I don't quite think that's the role of the government.
00:38:25.600
I mean, I think having armies might be an answer.
00:38:31.600
But the government did not protect us from the pandemic.
00:38:44.600
In fact, they, in the case of New York in particular, and in Ontario,
00:38:50.600
they sent COVID-infected seniors into long-term care facilities.
00:38:55.600
They actually put at-risk people, well, not to find a point on it, they killed them.
00:39:04.600
Governor Cuomo in New York was the worst at that.
00:39:15.600
Like I said earlier, the kids were at the lowest risk, yet they were the most punished.
00:39:22.600
I don't know if you can find it quickly, but the former head of the,
00:39:35.600
The former head of a public health commission in the US, whose acronym I've just forgotten right now, Scott Gottlieb, said no one actually knows where the six foot of separation rule came from.
00:39:57.600
Scott Gottlieb was, yeah, nobody knows the origins of a six foot social distancing recommendation.
00:40:11.600
He admitted, yeah, no one knows where that came from, but that became the law.
00:40:15.600
I remember seeing a video of some health cops literally with measuring tape, shutting down a barbershop because the chairs were like five feet, six inches apart instead of exactly six feet apart.
00:40:30.600
As if the virus knows a centimeter or this was the same rules of you can sit in a restaurant with your mask off, but when you stand up and you're two feet taller, then the virus will get you like that.
00:40:49.600
One more clip of Bill Gates talking about misinformation and disinformation.
00:40:53.600
And by the way, I found that clip of Tim Dillon versus Jimmy Fallon, and I'm going to play it for you.
00:41:01.600
So we'll play this, Olivia, and then we're going to play another commercial.
00:41:06.600
I'm going to read my two super chats that have come in.
00:41:09.600
We're going to play the Jimmy Fallon commercial for Pfizer or whatever that was.
00:41:18.600
And then I want to play the ultimate takedown in history of Jimmy Fallon.
00:41:22.600
So I think we can fit that in the next 10 minutes.
00:41:25.600
Let's take a look at Bill Gates on Al Jazeera, which is a perfect fit for him.
00:41:35.600
Now, Mr. Gates, one of the other issues and challenges that we were confronted with during this pandemic, especially at the peak of it, was misinformation and disinformation.
00:41:47.600
And you yourself were the target of some bizarre right wing conspiracy theories when it came to the vaccine, of course.
00:41:54.600
And I know you've had to deal with this in the past.
00:41:56.600
But do you feel that it was different during this pandemic, the misinformation and disinformation that was out there about the disease, about the vaccine?
00:42:10.600
You know, it was people looking for simple explanations, looking for, you know, one bad actor to simplify the surprise of what was going on.
00:42:23.600
The digital channels definitely amplified that, let people resonate with, you know, strange ideas.
00:42:30.600
It's tragic that that probably prevented some people from using masks or taking the vaccine when they needed it.
00:42:38.600
You know, so it did lead to polarization and even more death than we had to experience.
00:42:46.600
You know, finding people who you trust and making sure they're speaking out, you know, that's something we need to put more effort into.
00:43:09.600
And you could have it on, too, if you check out our special website at rebelnewsstore.com.
00:43:14.600
That's where you can see Freedom Focus hoodies that we have for you, beanies, cell phone cases, you name it, all while supporting our journalism where we fight to bring you the other side of the story,
00:43:26.600
as opposed to, you know, being forced by the Trudeau government to fund leftist media out of your taxes.
00:43:32.600
The truth is, without you and your generosity, there is no Rebel News.
00:43:38.600
So, again, if you like the reports that we bring you and that we also fight for freedoms in Canada, please consider doing some shopping, picking up some swag at rebelnewsstore.com.
00:43:58.600
That last clip with Bill Gates talking about how, who do you trust?
00:44:03.600
Well, Bill Gates, I don't trust you and I'm not alone.
00:44:06.600
Do you have Melinda Gates on her husband and Jeffrey Epstein because, you know, obviously our wives or husbands trust us and we trust them.
00:44:20.600
And even if they have a grievance with us, I think it's human nature to keep family issues within the family.
00:44:29.600
I mean, I'm not even talking about family secrets.
00:44:32.600
I'm just saying there's certain things that are private.
00:44:35.600
And certainly not when you're as famous as Bill and Melinda Gates.
00:44:45.600
They run the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
00:44:56.600
So for Melinda Gates, his wife of several decades, his partner, his co-activist, to publicly talk about the reason she's divorcing him because he was raping children at Jeffrey Epstein's.
00:45:24.600
And, well, Bill Gates just wouldn't stop going there dozens of times, even after Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of being a pedophile.
00:45:45.600
But I did not like that he'd had meetings with Jeffrey Epstein.
00:45:54.600
Melinda French-Gates opens up following her and Bill's divorce and the role Jeffrey Epstein played in their split.
00:46:00.600
The power couple revealed last year that they ended their 27-year marriage.
00:46:04.600
Any of the questions remaining about what Bill's relationship there was, those are for Bill to answer.
00:46:10.600
That's Melinda sitting down with CBS Morning's Gayle King on Thursday, her first wide-ranging interview since the split announcement in May.
00:46:17.600
Divorce is a painful process even when it's what both parties want.
00:46:26.600
It wasn't one moment or one specific thing that happened.
00:46:29.600
There just came a point in time where there was enough there that I realized it just wasn't healthy and I couldn't trust what we had.
00:46:36.600
Among those contributing factors, Bill's connection to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
00:46:41.600
The disgraced financier died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges.
00:46:46.600
You know, it was also widely reported that Bill had a friendship or business or some kind of contact with Jeffrey Epstein.
00:47:05.600
You know, Bill Gates said, well, I was trying to raise money for my foundation from Jeffrey Epstein.
00:47:11.600
It's a little hard to believe that one of the richest men in the world, Bill Gates, who has an alliance with other rich men including Warren Buffett, needs to raise money.
00:47:22.600
I do some fundraising for Rebel News, for example.
00:47:29.600
But, you know, you find out pretty quickly if you're up against a brick wall.
00:47:35.600
Jeffrey Epstein did not have dozens of meetings.
00:47:41.600
Sorry, Bill Gates did not have dozens of meetings with Jeffrey Epstein after Epstein said, I'm not giving you money.
00:47:53.600
An obvious lie that Melinda Gates herself did not believe.
00:47:58.600
There's only one reason Bill Gates visited a child sex trafficker pedophile dozens of times.
00:48:06.600
Is it Bill Gates, obviously, was there not for Jeffrey Epstein's money, but there to rape children.
00:48:18.600
Imagine being forced to divorce your husband of decades in such a public way.
00:48:25.600
The atrocious things she must have seen and heard.
00:48:29.600
And you can imagine she would have said, please don't go.
00:48:37.600
Like I can't imagine that a marriage of so many years and so many interlocking interests would come apart immediately.
00:48:43.600
I can imagine that Melinda would have tried dozens, maybe hundreds of times to get Bill Gates to stop going to the rape rooms.
00:48:54.600
Like you don't just divorce like that when you're in that league.
00:48:58.600
Imagine, imagine how deeply Bill Gates was into Jeffrey Epstein's world that he resisted all that.
00:49:09.600
And even when she would have surely said, if you don't stop raping those girls, I will divorce you.
00:49:16.600
Surely she said that as the penultimate step before divorcing him.
00:49:20.600
Surely she would have said, I am going to divorce you if you don't stop going there.
00:49:28.600
She wouldn't have just surprised him and said, I'm divorcing you.
00:49:36.600
What a depraved man, but trust him to do what's best for you.
00:49:46.600
Hey, I got a few super chats from Times, five bucks.
00:50:03.600
He says, how many people would take the jabs if they had to pay for the shots?
00:50:09.600
Well, it's not the money that's the worst of it.
00:50:17.600
I'm here to say you shouldn't be forced to take a jab and there should be full disclosure about what's in the jab.
00:50:27.600
You saw that vaccine video by Stephen Colbert, which was the worst thing I had seen on TV until.
00:50:41.600
Just play that latest Jimmy Fallon new pandemic video.
00:50:49.600
And then we must end with an extended clip from Tim Dillon.
00:51:01.600
I'm disgusted and I apologize in advance for showing you this.
00:51:36.600
Put on your mask when you're inside a facility.
00:51:53.600
Sounds like the password of your parents' Wi-Fi.
00:52:09.600
Imagine that energy and that passionate commitment
00:52:13.600
to the stupidest commercial for a bug ever made.
00:52:24.600
That was so absolutely masterfully undone by Tim Dillon.
00:52:30.600
If you don't know who Tim Dillon is, he is one of the best comedians out there.
00:52:40.600
He's been on Joe Rogan's show, which shows he's sort of operating not only at a high level of celebrity and comedy,
00:52:59.600
I'm not going to play for you his devastating critique of Meghan McCain.
00:53:08.600
But his takedown of Jimmy Fallon is incredible.
00:53:16.600
Now, the clip that I found is a few minutes long, so I don't know if we're going to get through it all.
00:53:23.600
Not just about Jimmy Fallon, but the whole late night BS.
00:53:26.600
So without further ado, Tim Dillon versus Jimmy Fallon.
00:54:08.600
And he would not be able to exist without the internet because part of his story is that no big show would ever take someone like him because he's an iconoclast, which is the Greek word for someone who smashes idols.
00:54:23.600
And you cannot go on corporate TV if you smash idols because one day you're going to smash their idols.
00:54:39.600
Most people have adapted and they're like, I have these tools to communicate directly with fans.
00:54:43.600
And then you have this really elite sanctum of Hollywood, this really elite group of people.
00:54:48.600
They don't speak ever unless they're at a red carpet or they're, you know, it's a very staged production where they go on Jimmy Fallon or they go on Seth Meyers and they sit in the chair and they have five minutes of banter.
00:55:01.600
And it's like, well, hey, you were in Italy recently and there's nothing real about it.
00:55:07.600
You know, I was in Italy when you were in Italy.
00:55:10.600
When somebody will be like, remember when we were both in Italy?
00:55:18.600
And the lead in to these shows is like, you know, a mass shooting.
00:55:30.600
I'm like, who is this for fat housewives from Galveston, Texas, whose husband's sitting in a car drinking with a gun.
00:55:36.600
And this woman sitting there eating Halo Top ice cream.
00:55:39.600
She's on her fifth, you know, thing of it, which I think at some point has an equalizing effect.
00:55:45.600
I mean, that's that when I was a tour guide in New York as a tour guide on a double decker bus.
00:55:48.600
The only people who cared about where the Tonight Show was were chubby women from like Ohio.
00:55:59.600
You got to look at some old late night shows where guys like James Baldwin, the famous black intellectual go out and talk about real shit.
00:56:07.600
On some idealism, which you assure me exists in America, which I have never seen.
00:56:12.600
But these later shows, the viewers are falling.
00:56:16.600
They're decreasing steadily and they're terrified of upsetting anybody.
00:56:21.600
They're terrified of losing a fat housewife who thinks it's fun that Jimmy Fallon plays with Muppets every night and that he sings with the band and he does dances and he brings out the kid from Stranger Things and they play hopscotch or whatever the fuck they do.
00:56:37.600
I mean, imagine watching this and having a real job.
00:56:42.600
Imagine having a real job where like you're working in a factory and a guy next to you is like, I just got diagnosed with cancer.
00:56:50.600
And you go home and you put on Jimmy Fallon and he's playing a game with Zac Efron.
00:56:56.600
So that's where these celebrities, that's the only time that they ever communicate with people on these like late night shows, which are like a dystopian nightmare reality in which insanely wealthy people sit there and have meaningless conversations.
00:57:27.600
Now, if I'm asked to do panel and I have to say this, I do have to, I have to be clear about this.
00:57:33.400
If I'm asked to do panel on one of these shows, I will.
00:57:35.780
But if they want to talk to me on panel, I will do that.
00:57:43.440
That's also going to happen because I am, it's not going to air because I will ask them what they're doing.
00:57:50.640
Like, I will look at one of them as I'm sitting there and go, let me ask you a question.
00:58:07.800
You got to realize the people that go to these shows, like the people that attend, imagine going to New York City, the greatest city in the world, in my opinion.
00:58:20.020
But imagine, I mean, London's a goth nightmare.
00:58:31.800
Imagine going to New York City with a group of your friends, group of your friends, the great restaurants,
00:58:37.440
the great public spaces, all the things you can do, the museums, and having one of them go,
00:58:42.780
I'd really like to watch a taping of The Tonight Show tonight.
00:58:46.440
I imagine being on a trip with someone that said that, and just the, the, it would be like the,
00:58:53.140
the just feeling in the pit of your stomach of a doctor saying positive to you.
00:58:58.260
That's what it would feel like to me, of a doctor telling you that you, you had AIDS.
00:59:10.960
The word taping of The Tonight Show, to me, is synonymous with the word inoperable.
00:59:18.420
Because if, I mean, can you imagine hearing that from somebody like, I want to go to a
00:59:26.800
Why would you ever want to go see a thing that you can see on TV, and you can watch it on
00:59:38.820
They're all like, who knows who it's going to be.
00:59:45.080
Maybe he'll have a field piece where he goes to the Olive Garden with Post Malone.
01:00:03.340
The people that wear Jimmy's house, like, oh my God, have you ever been here?
01:00:07.500
I'm on so much cocaine, I don't know where I am.
01:00:13.820
And they can sit in the Olive Garden where people have worked 16 hours to make a living
01:00:20.000
and they soak their feet every night because they swell because they're on them all day
01:00:24.420
and they're taking amphetamines to just keep doing it and keep fucking answering the questions
01:00:29.320
that fat tourists from Ohio have about penne ala vodka.
01:00:32.820
They have to do that and they're all drugged up and they can barely have a cigarette break
01:00:36.680
and when they do, they go outside and it's just a cacophony of New York City blaring horns
01:00:40.880
and ambulances and they go back into the Olive Garden and then they have to hear from their
01:00:44.760
manager that, well, you gotta look good today because Jimmy's coming in with Post Malone.
01:00:55.040
Now, I'm sure that there are some people that enjoy this that work in the Olive Garden because
01:00:59.820
They've been so destroyed in every possible way that some of them might get excited.
01:01:05.380
But there's got to be a guy that considers having a Travis Bickle moment.
01:01:11.380
There's got to be a guy that thinks of throwing a tour of Italy on the table and then lunging
01:01:16.540
There's got to be one of those chefs in the back that's had quite enough of this shit.
01:01:22.100
Someday I'll roll around and come and wash all the scum off the streets.
01:01:34.940
Let's go eat this shit that regular people eat and pretend it's good.
01:01:44.420
And everybody who eats there hates everything you believe in or say you believe in Jimmy
01:01:54.460
The Olive Garden is there's no quality about it.
01:02:02.400
They're better in a pizzeria and they go to the Olive Garden.
01:02:05.280
And I guess the joke is like, we're taking Cardi B to Red Lobster.
01:02:08.840
We're going to teach her how to use silverware.
01:02:22.240
Do you know what the Jimmy Fallon ride is at Universal?
01:02:27.540
They put you, it's a little boat that looks like a cocaine straw that they've sawed in
01:02:32.800
half and there's a tour guide who takes you through the boat and it's Jimmy's lawyer.
01:02:42.960
And he goes, now, remember, Jimmy, you can have fun, but don't bite anyone.
01:02:47.780
We don't want to have an incident like we did last time, you know?
01:03:00.980
And you start, you know, you start trying to move around in the boat, but you realize
01:03:14.000
your leg has been chained to the desk and they're like, we're treating you like Jimmy.
01:03:17.880
We want to make sure he doesn't bite anyone's teeth.
01:03:21.600
I'm going to meet him one day and like so many other people in this town, I'm going to hope
01:03:29.120
And I'm going to bump into him and I'm going to be like, oh, hey, man, how are you?
01:03:36.360
And I'm going to be like, uh, you know, because I just hope nothing.
01:03:43.020
He's like, have you ever done the Tonight Show?
01:03:45.440
And I'm just going to look at him and be like, yeah, no, I should.
01:04:02.160
But I can't, I don't have any New Year's resolutions.
01:04:04.680
You say like I'm going to go on a diet or something?
01:04:19.440
He's so smart and funny, but, but that actually, it was humorous, but that was black humor.
01:04:27.660
That was, let me tell you the truth about what passes for comedy in mass market corporate late night.
01:04:34.520
And I want to play for you a third and final time the propaganda song that Jimmy Fallon sung the other day, because I think you have to, if you're still with me, what do you think of that clip, Olivia, Mauricio, and Efron?
01:04:49.280
Did you think that was, that Tim Dillon takedown?
01:04:57.540
The vapidity, the corporate homogeneity, and he's right.
01:05:05.260
You're in New York City, one of the greatest cities in the world, and this is what you go to.
01:05:08.680
And the Olive Garden, frankly, I don't even, I don't mind the Olive Garden.
01:05:14.640
Maybe my taste is not as refined as it should be, but he's got a point.
01:05:18.220
You're in New York City, one of the most fabulous restaurant cities in the world, where you can get food for extremely cheap, extremely expensive, everything in between, but it's real.
01:05:26.560
And to go to the Olive Garden in New York City is like going to a Jimmy Fallon tape in New York City, but what are they doing there?
01:05:37.220
We've come down to your level, and ha ha, look at, like, what is the, what is that?
01:05:50.780
There was Alpha, then Delta, then Omicron next, but this latest variant might be the best.
01:06:13.520
It's XBB.1.5, not UB-40 who sings red, red wine.
01:06:21.080
Put on your mask when you're inside a facility.
01:06:38.440
Sounds like the password of your parents' Wi-Fi.
01:06:59.740
You don't get to be the band on that show unless you're talented, and you've got some soul.
01:07:08.900
But imagine being Jimmy Fallon and putting your heart into it, because you have no heart.
01:07:24.380
I don't know who is worse, him or Stephen Colbert.
01:07:40.640
You know what you just saw there was not an authentic act of comedy, entertainment, music, performance.
01:07:47.320
There was nothing other than pure, gross information op.
01:07:57.600
I don't know the demographics of The Tonight Show.
01:08:01.700
One of the images that Tim Dillon had there was that they had their lowest ratings ever.
01:08:07.280
But it is nothing but serving the corporate propaganda.
01:08:12.460
Who's the next Hollywood celebrity who's having a movie come out?
01:08:20.500
The same way, if you're like me, you like watching movie trailers.
01:08:28.380
Sometimes you don't actually need to see the movie.
01:08:33.760
And when it's a Hollywood celebrity coming on to push a movie, I'm not offended by it.
01:08:41.300
But that XBB, I don't even know what to call that.
01:09:23.580
Thanks for spending the last 71 minutes with me.
01:09:26.140
Special thanks to Olivia Mauricio and Efron for working the booth.
01:09:34.240
And it's one of my New Year's resolutions that I do more content in 2023.
01:09:40.560
At the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, I did a daily live stream, you might recall, five days a week.
01:09:48.020
And then things just got so busy, we moved on to, you know, unfortunately the business administration side of Rebel News took up so much of my time.
01:10:02.280
In fact, I'm going to be joining our team in the field on a special mission next week.
01:10:10.800
And I think that's something I should do, too, to get out there and report.
01:10:16.760
I don't do it that much lately, but I used to do it a fair bit.
01:10:19.560
But, you know, I certainly got a lot of pleasure by proxy having our team cover things around the world.
01:10:26.880
As you know, a few months ago, we had a team of journalists go to the World Health Summit in Berlin.
01:10:32.980
We had, you know, we sent people to Buenos Aires to cover a left-wing city's mayor's cadre.
01:10:50.040
We tried to cover the U.N. Global Warming Summit, but the laws of Egypt made me worry that the kind of journalism we were going to do would make us arrested.
01:11:00.740
And we consulted with lawyers in Cairo about that, and they basically told us that we faced arrest if we were going to do our rebel-style accountability journalism.
01:11:12.920
We sent someone to Moscow, as you know, and we took security precautions there, and we managed to get our guy in and out without being arrested.
01:11:20.260
So these are all wonderful journeys that Rebel News journalists have done, and I enjoyed watching them from here at our home base.
01:11:26.740
But I'm going to try going out into the world myself a bit because I like it and because I should leave my example and get back to content, too.
01:11:38.300
I'll see you tonight at 8 p.m. for my Ezra LeVant show, as I often do.
01:11:43.440
Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night.
