Transcript
00:00:00.000
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, you have tuned into the Rebel News live stream
00:00:21.440
on this Thursday, February 3rd, 2020. I'm David Menzies and my co-host, let me tell you about
00:00:29.320
my co-host, folks. This might be the year of the tiger, but 24-7, she's got the eye of the tiger.
00:00:36.720
She is the she-devil with a sword. She is the Khaleesi of Northern Alberta. She is my dear
00:00:43.940
friend, Sheila Gunn-Reed. How are you doing there, Sheila? David, I'm doing well. Thank you so much
00:00:49.540
for asking. I do sound a little plugged up, but nobody worry. It's not the Kron. It's not the Kron.
00:00:55.560
Don't worry. Before we get too far into the weeds, I should let everybody know that we're
00:01:00.480
going to actually, instead of going long, like how we normally do, we're going to cut off a little
00:01:05.080
bit early because we are going to go live to the live stream of the organizers of the truck convoy
00:01:11.860
in Ottawa. They're hosting a press conference, so we're going to cut off to make sure that we don't
00:01:16.740
miss that because the mainstream media is going to tell you what happened. We want to exactly show
00:01:22.700
you. So you can, you know, like believe your own lying eyes and not the CTV. So that's what
00:01:27.540
we're going to do. So we'll try to keep the show a little tidy today. Gotcha. And by the way,
00:01:31.900
that is the same mainstream media that are embedded with law enforcement, whereas we are the ones
00:01:37.560
embedded with the actual truckers. I guess the mainstream, the CBC types, they don't want to get
00:01:43.180
too up close and personable with the deplorables, right, Sheila?
00:01:48.080
Yeah, they've got it in their head that this truck convoy that descended on Ottawa like seven
00:01:53.560
days ago now is somehow violent, but we can't seem to find the violence. But if this were Black
00:01:58.780
Lives Matter and they descended on a city for seven days, it would be just rubble and ash and
00:02:03.840
destruction. Yeah. And, you know, and to show you how nonviolent they are, there's that fantastic
00:02:09.640
clip that Lincoln J shot. He's still in Ottawa, folks, along with Alexa, where, you know, it was a
00:02:15.500
counter-demonstrator. I think we talked about this briefly on Tuesday and he had, it was a profane
00:02:20.220
sign saying, I think, some theme of white supremacy. And it was such a thing of beauty because a visible
00:02:28.760
minority man, maybe he was Hindu or Sikh, comes in and basically says, reads him the Riot Act. You
00:02:34.400
don't know what you're talking about. But what I'm getting at, Sheila, is the fact that
00:02:39.240
this man, as far as I could tell, even with his profane, ridiculous sign, was not molested in any
00:02:49.140
fashion. And I could only imagine if a counter, a solo counter-protester went to BLM or an Antifa
00:02:56.740
rally, even us as reporters with no dog in the race, how we're treated. It's with a physical assault.
00:03:03.500
So where's the danger? Yeah, even the left knows there's no danger, right? Because if they thought
00:03:10.740
it was dangerous, those, you know, weak undersoyed or oversoyed under-proteined individuals would not
00:03:17.220
be able to go into a protest of truckers if they thought, you know, 100,000 truckers and their closest
00:03:23.240
friends were violent. We should tell everybody, though, where we're streaming today because we have
00:03:28.020
an additional place that we're streaming. So we, yeah, we stream on YouTube up until such time as
00:03:34.000
we talk about things that YouTube says that we're not allowed to talk about. And that's when we cut
00:03:37.720
the YouTube feed off. So if you are one of those one point, roughly 1.6 million YouTube sets of eyes
00:03:44.660
watching us, when we cut off the YouTube feed, why don't you join us on one of these other platforms
00:03:48.600
like Odyssey, Rumble and SuperU. Those are neutral platforms. They're free speech platforms and they don't
00:03:55.240
care about your politics and I don't care about theirs. And so far, so good over there. And those
00:03:59.520
three platforms allow you the opportunity to support us through a Rumble rant, an Odyssey hyperchat,
00:04:07.520
or a SuperU shout. And if you send us one of those, we will read your question, query, comment,
00:04:13.640
or story idea on air and David or myself will do our very best to address it. But we also have another
00:04:19.240
platform. So this is five in total that we're streaming on right now. We're on Getter. So that's
00:04:25.220
also the free speech alternative to the censorship platform of Twitter. And we're live streaming
00:04:30.360
there. So if you're tuning into us on Getter, hey, nice to see you. This is my first time streaming
00:04:34.880
over there. I hope you appreciate the show. And what is a Getter Super Chat called, Sheila?
00:04:40.920
Oh, we don't. We can't Getter any of those yet. Oh, we don't. Okay. Boy, lots to remember. And I think
00:04:50.020
most of the show today is going to be YouTube friendly for a change. And I guess why don't
00:04:55.900
we just get to the top of the order, front page probably in every Canadian newspaper.
00:05:02.020
Here's the Toronto Sun, no tool. Or as his speech would have indicated, oh, tool me once,
00:05:11.160
shame on you. Oh, tool me twice, shame on me. Sheila, that, what we saw unfold yesterday afternoon,
00:05:18.720
that desperate man with that desperate speech begging for another chance and totally tone deaf
00:05:26.640
to the irony. Basically, I'm paraphrasing now, but saying to the caucus in the Conservative Party
00:05:32.800
of Canada, I can change. I can be more like you. And not realizing that it's this flip-flop
00:05:42.800
attitude of his that put him in this predicament, you know, once and for all. And, you know, Sheila,
00:05:51.800
we have Candace Bergen named as interim leader. I guess the race is now on to see who's going to be
00:06:03.280
Who's going to lose to Paulyev? Is that, like, that's what we're, that's what we're testing out
00:06:10.140
here. Who's going to lose to Pierre Paulyev? Yeah. Aaron O'Toole, he, in the span of about 24
00:06:16.380
hours, he flip-flopped again, even while he's begging for his leadership. He went from, I'm not
00:06:22.920
backing down. This is who I am. I've got the support of the people. I've got the support of
00:06:26.900
caucus to, oh, I'm sorry, I'll change. I'll get it right this time. Not the last time. And not the
00:06:34.780
time before that, but I'm going to get it right this time and you can trust me on it. No. The party
00:06:39.760
was right to toss him out as leader. I hope he resigns as MP too. I don't think that's going to
00:06:45.440
happen. I think he issued a statement that he will follow the new leader. I think at this point,
00:06:51.820
he just wants the salary, Sheila. And maybe the good folks of Durham, Ontario might send him a
00:06:58.220
message come the next election, whenever that is, probably in the space of 18 to 24 months. That's
00:07:04.200
typically the best before date of a minority government in Canada. And that played a role in
00:07:11.140
this, Sheila, because that ludicrous idea that we were going to wait till 2023 for any kind of
00:07:18.240
leadership review. Like when we're on virtually the cusp of an election, I think that was a strategic
00:07:23.720
ploy by Erin O'Toole, Sheila. It was like, hey, listen, we can't switch leaders right now. They just
00:07:29.980
dropped the writ, right? Oh my goodness. It was. And you know, is it too much to ask for whoever is going
00:07:37.660
to be the new leader of the Conservative Party of Canada? How about this? If you're going to say
00:07:43.320
you're a true blue Conservative, could you please not flip-flop to a red Tory once you get elected?
00:07:50.460
We saw this federal and provincially. Patrick Brown, Doug Ford, Erin O'Toole, Andrew Scheer,
00:07:58.040
the list goes on. They keep advertising themselves of something they're not when they need support.
00:08:06.440
And once they get power, they do this, you know, flip, Sheila. I'm getting a little tired of this act.
00:08:11.960
Yeah. Like liberals will just vote for Justin Trudeau. They're not going to vote for Erin O'Toole,
00:08:18.200
who has the same policies. You know, when he's like, oh, it's my carbon tax isn't a carbon tax. It's
00:08:24.340
a levy. Yeah, that's exactly what Rachel Notley called it. And when you were the Conservative,
00:08:29.220
when you were just a run-of-the-mill Conservative MP, you opposed it and you opposed those word games.
00:08:34.860
But then when you get empowered, those word games are perfectly fine.
00:08:37.480
I just, I'm just so glad he's gone. Hopefully the party can heal. They can be invigorated
00:08:44.060
by both a change in leadership, but also this groundswell of anti-Trudeau support
00:08:49.320
for the convoy. Because really the convoy is the anti-Trudeau vehicle right now. It's the
00:08:56.080
anti-lockdown vehicle. And hopefully the party, like, may adopt Ralph Klein's motto of see where
00:09:02.580
the parade is marching and just jump in front of it and lead it. It's time to do that.
00:09:05.880
You know, Sheila, I'm so glad you mentioned the trucker convoy in Ottawa because I truly believe,
00:09:12.080
and I know there are a legion of people that believe this, although the mainstream media is
00:09:16.380
mocking this view, that this was indeed the catalyst that got O'Toole out. And, you know,
00:09:23.140
it's so shameful. Sheila, yesterday afternoon on CFRB Talk Radio in Toronto, I was listening to the
00:09:29.920
Evan Solomon show and he had a round table and there were even Conservative commentators on that.
00:09:35.880
And the mocking attitude, it was unanimous, by the way, that, oh yeah, the trucker convoy,
00:09:42.940
they're saying we're the reason for O'Toole resigning. Oh, and by the way, said one in a
00:09:47.840
mocking tone, the trucker convoy also claimed responsibility for the warmer weather that has
00:09:56.360
descended in Ottawa too. It was just so shameful. But I think that if you look at the timeline,
00:10:04.420
this was the thing. And I think also, Sheila, that Aaron O'Toole blew an opportunity to set the record
00:10:13.020
straight. If he went out and met with the truckers and if he echoed the phrase of Tucker Carlson on Fox
00:10:21.020
News, that you are alive because of a trucker. Truckers are why there are groceries in the
00:10:27.280
supermarket. Truckers are why there's medicine in the pharmacy. And he came out, because right now,
00:10:32.460
Sheila, I still don't know if Aaron O'Toole is pro or anti-trucker. And that is the problem.
00:10:39.200
Right. And echoing that sentiment, this is one of our stories we want to talk about today,
00:10:46.720
Restaurants Canada, they're complaining. And it's funny because you and I shared a text message
00:10:52.540
earlier today regarding this. So Restaurants Canada, they're saying Ottawa's in trouble
00:10:57.720
because they're too scared. The restaurants are too scared to open their doors to feed these
00:11:04.020
truckers who have not committed any violence, by the way. So restaurant operators in Ottawa's
00:11:08.240
downtown core have been instructed to remain closed. For many Ottawa restaurants and other
00:11:13.420
businesses, their right to reopen has now been delayed by ongoing disruptive protests. Oh, so
00:11:17.900
the right to reopen wasn't delayed by the government literally closing them to customers. It's delayed
00:11:25.780
by the protesters who want them to open, who want to be able to go into your restaurant and spend money
00:11:31.160
there. They're not violent. You've got a week's worth of data on that. So open your doors and let
00:11:35.580
them in. And you know, like, I can't get over after a terrible two years in the hospitality industry
00:11:43.000
that these, this industry group complainers, because they don't represent, they're the lobby
00:11:48.920
group. They don't actually represent the like mom and pop small business group. These are the guys who
00:11:53.800
go jangle for pen for handouts from Justin Trudeau. But you've got 100,000 people descended on your city
00:12:01.060
after being like an economic wasteland for two years. Why are you complaining? Open your doors
00:12:06.240
and serve them. You tried to get a hotel room in Calgary or in Ottawa. How did that go?
00:12:10.980
Indeed, it's very difficult. And Sheila, I got to tell you, in another life for seven years,
00:12:18.160
I covered the food service industry for a few trade magazines. And I can tell you Restaurants Canada,
00:12:23.740
which used to be called the Canadian Restaurant and Food Services Association, and then they rebranded
00:12:29.060
themselves. They used to go up against government. One clear example, when the GST came in, they had
00:12:36.260
this huge campaign, and they had merit in their efforts, showing that the very same product bought
00:12:43.060
at a restaurant is subject to GST. Whereas if you bought that identical product in a supermarket,
00:12:48.560
it is GST free. It's an unfair, unlevel playing field. The point is, they went up against government.
00:12:55.260
Now they are donkeys for the government. They're basically implying or copying the Trudeau narrative
00:13:04.620
that it's so dangerous in Ottawa with all these horrible deplorables and white supremacists there
00:13:11.300
that our members are dying on the vine. Like you said, if any of these restaurants opened up,
00:13:18.460
they're packed to the rafters. Well, that's not true because of our premier.
00:13:22.200
They're 50% packed to the rafters. And where was Restaurants Canada a year and a bit ago, Sheila,
00:13:31.280
when Adam Skelly opened up in defiance of the government? They were nowhere to be found.
00:13:38.700
And I'm mad if you asked them, they would say, well, yeah, yeah, we can't get behind a rule breaker
00:13:43.100
or civil disobedience like that. That's not the kind of cat we are anymore. So shame on them.
00:13:48.660
And by the way, I want to expose another lie. Some of these restaurateurs or the people speaking for
00:13:54.480
them are saying, there's just nowhere for our clients to park. The downtown is gridlocked. The
00:14:01.040
parking lots are full. Did you see those videos, Sheila? The streets were filled with more than 100,000
00:14:08.480
people who got hungry. You don't need parking. They would have just opened your door and there'd be
00:14:15.740
dozens of people falling through it. So it's all a lie. It's all another narrative to demonize
00:14:25.740
It absolutely is. And I was just looking back to see
00:14:28.640
AD Ezra had a tweet that linked to just how restaurants... Oh, here it is.
00:14:36.600
Restaurants Canada. Ezra tweeted it four hours ago. These guys are on the take too.
00:14:41.500
The Meat Council of Canada the other day coming out complaining about the blockade at
00:14:46.500
Coutts, which we will talk about in a minute. Those guys are on the take to the tune of a
00:14:51.400
million bucks from Justin Trudeau. And Restaurants Canada, same thing. They're on the take.
00:14:57.980
Let's have a look here. Restaurants Canada. They got $70,000 between November of 2020 and April
00:15:08.000
30th of 2021. And it is... Yeah. So of course they're coming out. And there's more. Another
00:15:14.780
$50,000 in 2018. Like it just goes on and on. These guys, every time you see a lobby group come
00:15:22.660
out in support of lockdowns, just go and search on opencanada.gc.ca and you should be able to find
00:15:30.920
whatever grant that they got from Justin Trudeau to curry their favour.
00:15:34.400
This is the CBC-ification of the entire economy. That's what it is.
00:15:41.040
Sheila, is there any lobby group in that town that isn't getting greased by the Trudeau Liberals?
00:15:46.280
And by the way, speaking of lobby groups and associations, and this also speaks to O'Toole
00:15:52.220
and his devious and deceptive way of dealing with hard questions. When he was asked last week,
00:15:59.880
it was one of the press conferences, why aren't you going out to meet with the truckers? And he said,
00:16:05.560
well, I'm paraphrasing here, folks. Well, that's not true. I've reached out on several occasions to
00:16:10.640
the Canadian Trucking Association. They don't represent those truckers there.
00:16:16.120
Yes. They're all about the corporate interests. But you know what? But Sheila, it was too cute by
00:16:23.040
half because a lot of people who might not know that, and you know, you can't, because I mean,
00:16:28.080
if you were told me, hey, there's an association called the Canadian Trucker Association,
00:16:33.720
I would assume they were the, that's the guys speaking out for the truckers. And it's a,
00:16:40.200
it's a completely logical assumption. But the fact of the matter is, that isn't it. So it was
00:16:46.620
again, O'Toole trying to fool people, right? It's funny how fool and O'Toole rhyme, isn't it? But he
00:16:53.560
was trying to fool people that he was indeed reaching out to the convoy when nothing could be
00:17:00.360
further from the truth. The Canadian Trucking Association denounced the convoy.
00:17:04.380
Yeah. The Canadian Trucking Association, much like the Canadian Association of Journalists,
00:17:12.180
you know, just a mouthpiece for the government and for censorship. That's exactly what the
00:17:17.180
Trucking Alliance is. They're just a mouthpiece for the government. And, you know, they're just
00:17:22.560
a lobby group. They don't represent owner-operators. I bet you 99% of the truckers that converged on any
00:17:29.000
convoy are not members of this at all. And how sad that all those dummies in the mainstream media
00:17:36.980
at that press conference didn't make that the follow-up question. Well, Mr. O'Toole,
00:17:42.300
the Canadian Trucking Association doesn't represent these people. So what exactly are you saying? Oh,
00:17:47.340
no, no, no, no, no. Let's not be too impolite to this outgoing so-called leader. Oh my goodness.
00:17:54.240
Sheila, good riddance. Don't let the door slam on your backside. I am so happy that this guy is gone.
00:18:03.500
It should have happened months ago, namely on election night in September. At least it's not
00:18:09.660
as bad as the Andrew Scheer long goodbye. What was that, 11 months? All I hope is that all of O'Toole's
00:18:18.620
communications people and handlers are put in a big fishnet and thrown out the door at the same time
00:18:24.960
as him because they are absolutely terrible. They were the ones that likely coordinated that meeting
00:18:29.760
with the Canadian Trucking Alliance pro-liberal lobby group. They're the ones behind that. I don't
00:18:35.760
think O'Toole, I mean, he went along with it naturally, but they're the ones who would have
00:18:41.000
coordinated that. So round the whole lot of them up and run them out of politics and pray to God we
00:18:47.080
never see them again. But these people, they are not useful people. They'll be back again.
00:18:51.800
They'll be around sniffing around during the Ontario election. They'll be sniffing around out here in
00:18:57.860
Alberta during the upcoming Alberta election. But we should remember exactly who they are and exactly
00:19:03.560
what they've done. Excellent point, Sheila. I'm going to ask you this. His inner circle, because I
00:19:08.760
really think... Corey Hahn. Corey Hahn, who made me and my camera woman stand on a busy arterial road. He
00:19:16.820
lied about the property lie. Threw Alexa out. Threw Alexa out all over the place. Yep. And by the way,
00:19:23.160
that day, Corey Hahn said on camera, we have the footage, yeah, we'll be welcoming Mr. O'Toole tomorrow.
00:19:31.780
That was election night as the new prime minister. What a dolt. Anyways, that inner circle of woke
00:19:40.400
soy boys has to be eradicated. I hope they're not keeping the likes of Corey Hahn, because if they
00:19:48.700
are, we're going to go down this road once again, unless we have a leader with a true spine and says
00:19:55.320
to them, no, I'm not doing that. I'm not going further and further left. We've done that twice,
00:20:00.020
and it was a disaster. What are you trying to do? Give Trudeau another majority government?
00:20:05.340
Yeah. And really, I don't even know Corey Hahn as far as I could throw him. And he's a little
00:20:09.200
bigger than me, so I couldn't throw him very far. But I do know that in better times, he has checked
00:20:13.860
me in to conservative media events. He checked me into the last election night, wherein Andrew Scheer
00:20:20.560
lost. And he knew that I behaved myself, and we behaved ourselves, and we just did our job as
00:20:26.320
journalists. But this was a directive where we are constantly battling with the liberals for access
00:20:33.060
and journalistic access and free speech. And they thought, you know what, let's replicate that. Let's
00:20:39.040
be also the party that doesn't believe in the free press. They never offered the public anything
00:20:44.000
different than Justin Trudeau. And so they wonder why people didn't switch over from Justin Trudeau.
00:20:48.600
Well, and that is the problem. That was the problem of Erin O'Toole leading the conservative,
00:20:54.040
Sheila. It became the Me Too platform party when it came to liberal policies.
00:21:00.380
I've got to tell you, I give credit where credit is due. If we go back to the last election campaign
00:21:04.480
in the fall of 20 or summer of 2021, Trudeau came out of the gates, had an awful week,
00:21:14.000
a disaster. And a lot of people said, don't judge a campaign by the first week, which is valid
00:21:20.620
advice. Then he had another awful week, two weeks in a row of awful gaps on the campaign trail.
00:21:28.180
Mr. O'Toole, on the other hand, had two solid weeks. He sounded like an ambassador. And then,
00:21:35.640
you know, I don't know what happened, Sheila. I liken it to, it's the guy on the high wire,
00:21:41.520
a hundred stories up. Halfway along and no problems. And then he decides to look down
00:21:48.080
and he goes, yikes, what am I doing here? Suddenly, O'Toole did those flip-flops. Carbon tax,
00:21:55.460
as you mentioned. The gun ban, as you mentioned. And it was almost like, Mr. O'Toole, what do you
00:22:01.220
stand for? And the answer was, I don't know. What do you stand for? That's what I stand for.
00:22:05.920
Yeah. It is the biggest mystery to me, how Trudeau stumbled out of the gate so badly,
00:22:13.060
two weeks in a short election campaign, and O'Toole did so superb. And then he blew it. He blew it. Why?
00:22:21.660
Oh, I don't know. But let's move on from Aaron O'Toole, because let's leave him in the dust
00:22:25.980
of history, of conservative history. And let's talk about the biggest story, I think,
00:22:32.140
in the world right now. And our Rebel News reporters on the Alberta border are just
00:22:36.960
absolutely owning it. As you said, the CBC, they are embedded with the police
00:22:42.300
at the border. And those ambulance chasers at the CBC are actively seeking out disgruntled people
00:22:51.520
who are having to wait on the sweetgrass side. But K2, Kian Simone, and Sid Fizard, we sent them
00:23:01.060
down to the border on Sunday night as things were sort of just popping off. By Sunday, what was a slow
00:23:07.760
roll past the border turned into a full-scale blockade. And we sent them down. It was like
00:23:14.880
blowing snow. It was dark. And the two of them just grabbed a change of clothes and all their
00:23:19.720
equipment, jumped in K2's little Honda Civic and drove down there. Kid needs a bigger car if he's
00:23:25.060
going to live in Alberta, by the way. But he's from Toronto, so it'll take him a year to learn.
00:23:29.920
But they drove down there. It's like four hours from Calgary to the border. And they've been there
00:23:34.060
ever since. We've had a lawyer there since Monday, Chad Williamson. You can support him and their legal
00:23:42.940
fees at truckerlawyer.ca. We hired them a lawyer to make sure they didn't get steamrolled by the cops
00:23:47.400
and their negotiations. And so it's been ongoing. There's a blockade there. So they're blocking
00:23:53.940
the border. But they are allowing emergency vehicles through local traffic and the school
00:24:03.080
bus through because that's the thing with some of these border communities is the community
00:24:07.180
itself isn't big enough to support a full school or a hospital or whatever, especially
00:24:12.020
in the prairies. The adjacent American community has some services and you have the other services
00:24:20.620
because there's not a lot of people. It's just two villages. And so last night, actually, I should go
00:24:27.720
back a little. The police have the entire community now at this point blockaded off. So the truckers are
00:24:35.200
blockading the border. But to prevent supporters of the truckers from coming in with supplies and
00:24:41.740
more trucks and more tractors and things like that, now they've basically cordoned off the whole
00:24:48.500
community. And yesterday, and they haven't been allowing people to come in. The police haven't.
00:24:54.380
But late last night, the police allowed a FedEx truck to roll through and another truck and another
00:25:00.000
truck. So while they're preventing supporters of the convoy from getting in, they are letting
00:25:05.140
commercial traffic go through and the truckers were limited. A farmer showed up and blocked off
00:25:11.980
now the road again so that commercial traffic can't get through. He drove up with his big
00:25:16.620
four by four tractor and just dropped his bucket so that because the police have been making
00:25:23.480
people who want to bring supplies in because they have the road blocked off now so that supporters
00:25:28.380
can't get in. People are having to walk in from Milk River. It was like minus 38 last night here.
00:25:34.120
And I imagine it's just as bad in southern Alberta where the wind is horrible.
00:25:39.480
They've been making them walk in with supplies from Milk River, which is kilometres up the road.
00:25:45.500
Sid, I think, went and walked it last night just to see how treacherous it is.
00:25:50.460
But they're letting commercial traffic through. And that's when things started to really heat up
00:25:54.340
last night. And so time will tell what shakes out at the border today. But rest assured,
00:26:00.780
we'll be covering it because we've got Sid and K2 there. And if you are in the area, would you mind
00:26:05.920
throwing a pair of socks over a police blockade at those kids? Because they went down with just one
00:26:11.180
change of clothes. And it was kind of like not minus 40 when they went down, although they're both from
00:26:17.340
Toronto. So I think they're learning a hard lesson here to always be prepared for like horrible weather if you're in Alberta.
00:26:22.180
But yeah, they could use a change of clothes, a shower and hot water. But they're doing the best
00:26:28.740
possible job they could do. And the whole world is watching them.
00:26:32.540
Wow. You know, Sheila, until you told me that, I didn't know both of them were camping in a Honda Civic.
00:26:36.780
I've had to sleep on assignments overnight in a Ford Fusion, which is bigger than a Civic.
00:26:41.840
I think they're sharing a hotel room at this point. Like they're sharing one bed. They were able to get
00:26:47.060
one bed. But basically, they're on location. And so they just go to the car and warm up. And like
00:26:54.260
the Chad, the lawyer has negotiated fuel to come in for both the trucks, but also the RVs that are
00:27:00.660
there because they're running out of propane and gas for the cars so that they can run. But they are
00:27:06.360
sleeping in one double bed because that's all they can get. And they don't they're running out of
00:27:11.380
clothes. But seriously, Sheila, isn't this amazing? The double standard when you talk about what the
00:27:19.260
protest is about and who the protesters are. Two years ago this month, we were into weeks, not days,
00:27:27.520
weeks of rail blockades in certain areas of Canada. And some of these blockades, I'll tell you,
00:27:33.960
in the Hamilton area, I came across the Antifa types. There were no natives, not not one. And yet,
00:27:40.640
was there any strangulation put on the conduits to prevent them from getting fuel, food, beverage,
00:27:50.160
you name it? Oh, no, medicine, medicine, not a chance. That would be very impolite. And the economy
00:27:57.200
was getting hammered to the tune of billions of dollars, billions. And we let these people get
00:28:05.820
away with it for weeks. And yet, in a few days, oh, what a calamity. Look what these truckers are
00:28:12.200
doing. We got to, you know, we got to starve them out. How do you square that, Sheila?
00:28:17.480
Yeah. Yeah. We should, Mr. Producer whispers in my ear, we should mention Jason Kenney and Scott Moe,
00:28:25.440
because the truckers are doing something quite incredible here. I think they are the catalyst
00:28:29.340
for tossing out Aaron O'Toole. I think that's what fractured the caucus, Aaron O'Toole. And Scott
00:28:36.940
Moe, as soon as the convoy started mobilizing through Saskatchewan, he was like, you know what,
00:28:41.640
we got to lift these restrictions right away. Right away. He's like, that's his come to Jesus
00:28:47.440
moment, is it? Yeah. When they started rolling through, he's like, ah, God, we got to, we got
00:28:52.740
to lift these restrictions. So he was an early adopter of a good idea here. Jason Kenney, he's
00:28:58.860
come out in support of the truckers in Ottawa, but he has said what the truckers are doing at the border
00:29:04.400
is illegal. However, in the span of about, I don't know what, I would say 48 hours, the timeline of
00:29:13.020
moving the restrictions back in Alberta has gone from the end of March to the end of February to a
00:29:21.780
couple of weeks to just a few days. Like last night, he said restrictions are rolling back in a few days.
00:29:27.300
So the truckers have just like moved everything back because Jason Kenney doesn't want to have
00:29:34.120
a happen to him. What just happened to Aaron O'Toole, because from what I understand, he's
00:29:39.720
facing a caucus revolt from the rural MLAs because the rural MLAs see, uh, our people are protesting us
00:29:47.160
at the border. We would like to keep our jobs, please. And thank you. These, every single one of
00:29:51.700
those guys, I guarantee you was a UCP voter. Every single one. Maybe there might've been some
00:29:56.420
separatist voters, but just, there's not a lot of those, um, in the provincial election. So every
00:30:01.700
single one was a UCP voter and the rural MLAs think, oh man, those are our people showing up
00:30:08.340
with trucks and tractors. Those aren't the city people. We need to make it clear that we are with
00:30:13.460
them. And now Jason Kenney has been told, okay, the rural MLAs are with the truckers. Jason Kenney
00:30:22.300
starts moving the timeline back. And now he comes out last night after saying what they're doing is
00:30:26.280
illegal. Also accusing them of assault, by the way, the other day said people allied with the
00:30:31.220
truckers have committed assault on a police officer. We were not able to confirm that anybody
00:30:36.700
was assaulted. There was a motor vehicle accident, an accident, by the way, it wasn't like a ramming or
00:30:43.660
anything like that. It was an accident. No cops were assaulted. So Jason Kenney is getting the story
00:30:48.780
wrong. And his MLAs are saying, you better do something here. We're in a world of trouble.
00:30:54.320
And so now Jason Kenney last night comes with his statement. I'm with you. I'm with you guys.
00:30:59.720
Why don't we roll some of that? Because it's ridiculous. Yes.
00:31:07.780
Well-intentioned, law-abiding Canadians who are sick and tired of how COVID has turned their lives
00:31:14.680
upside down. They're frustrated with all kinds of public health measures. And in many are frustrated,
00:31:21.700
in particular, with the quarantine requirement for cross-border truckers. So to those folks who've
00:31:27.300
been out there trying to make that point peacefully and respectfully, thank you. Thank you for
00:31:33.460
using your democratic rights to do that. Thank you for sharing your passion and your frustration.
00:31:40.980
And I certainly hear you. To those here in Alberta who have participated in or supported some of these
00:31:49.920
protests, specifically, I want to say to them, I am very sympathetic. I'm leading a government that has
00:31:58.420
repeatedly been attacked for having treated restrictions as a last and limited resort.
00:32:10.740
This guy, you know, like, he's complaining, excuse me, my nose is running, about restrictions.
00:32:17.140
But I wonder if he could find the guy who could do something about them.
00:32:21.380
Yeah, Sheila, he's very sympathetic. I'm sure he baked the cake with a file in it to give to one of
00:32:27.060
those pastors in solitary confinement at a maximum security prison.
00:32:32.900
You know, Sheila, it's amazing. I just want to pick up on some of the things you've said
00:32:37.460
vis-a-vis restrictions in the name of COVID-19 and borders. You know, in the last few weeks,
00:32:43.940
I've been watching the NFL playoffs, which, believe it or not, have been amazing nail-biting games.
00:32:49.380
But that's not the point. The point is, stadia in which the seating capacity approaches 80,000 people,
00:32:56.340
packed, cheek-to-jowl fans, no social distancing, no masks, right? And yet everything is A-OK.
00:33:05.780
And then you cross the border. And until very recently, if it was, say, a Raptors or Leafs game
00:33:12.500
at the Scotiabank Arena, the attendance, zero. And now they're allowed all of 500 people to come in
00:33:19.540
for a 20,000-seat arena. I mean, just imagine that. If you're in Windsor, you can look across
00:33:25.780
the border and see where the Red Wings and the Pistons play, and it's a full house. How does this
00:33:31.860
make any sense at all? Furthermore, story just came out. Jordan Peterson says this should be on every
00:33:41.220
front page newspaper. And it's from John Hopkins. And it's a study that finds the lockdowns had
00:33:49.540
0.2%. 0.2%, folks. So a percent of a percent effect on mortality. And yet, Sheila, I wonder,
00:34:00.820
what was the mortality rate for those suffering mental distress, people losing their business,
00:34:07.220
people cut off from their social circles that might have looked at self-harm?
00:34:13.700
It is, this is, I believe it has not been peer-reviewed. And I can't wait until it is.
00:34:21.300
But for two years, not two weeks to flatten the curve, Mayor John Tory, for two years, we went through
00:34:28.980
this garbage and it had a 0.2% effect on mortality. Shame on these leaders. It's all about what we've
00:34:39.780
always said here, Sheila, that this is much more than a virus. This is about control. This is about
00:34:47.780
politicians of every political stripe, municipal, provincial, state, federal, taking a little taste
00:34:55.940
of totalitarian power, as our boss Ezra Levent likes to say. And you know what? They really dig
00:35:00.820
that taste and they want more of that Kool-Aid. Yeah, this is about politicians figuring out who
00:35:07.140
they can and can't control. They're finding out they cannot control Albertans. We are the
00:35:12.420
ungovernables, which I'm perfectly fine with. But getting back to Jason, by the way, with that study
00:35:18.580
there, when they say, you know, talking about just how it literally, these lockdowns destroyed lives
00:35:26.420
and did nothing for the mortality rates, I can't wait to see when they actually do factor in the
00:35:31.860
deaths of despair. Because you know who commits suicide because of economic strife? Men.
00:35:38.660
Yeah. And you know, we live in a feminist society that really doesn't care about men
00:35:45.940
and their mental health. And so that's why it is really, it's truly the men, the blue-collar men
00:35:51.540
who are uprising. It's their lives on the line. Well then, thank God for the likes and Sheila,
00:35:56.420
Bell Canada, that every year has a Let's Talk Day in terms of mental health awareness. And this year,
00:36:04.020
a week after Let's Talk Day was Bell Canada's D-Day, which was to say that all their employees,
00:36:11.860
hundreds I assume, who did not get double jabbed, including those, and we have an interview,
00:36:16.420
I have an interview with one coming up. This lady worked exclusively 100% of the time in a home office.
00:36:22.900
If you don't get the jabs, you were fired. And they were all fired on February 1st. And late January,
00:36:27.700
it was Let's Talk. Geez, I wonder if Bell moved the Let's Talk Day so it wouldn't coincide with
00:36:33.380
uh February the 1st, just on Tuesday. And this particular lady, and there's many like her,
00:36:39.060
worked in a home office, Sheila. Um, never coming into contact with her co-workers or her clients
00:36:46.580
100% of the time. But uh, post Let's Talk Day, well uh, Bell isn't talking to you anymore. They hung up
00:36:54.340
uh, the phone and uh, gave her an economic death sentence. Uh, this is the society we live in because
00:37:02.660
where is the science? Where is the logic enforcing that particular employee out the door?
00:37:09.860
Yeah, and Jason Kenney, he's so sympathetic to us. He's so sympathetic. Well, you're literally the guy
00:37:16.100
who locked us down. You could open everything back up again. You're the guy. I don't want your sympathy.
00:37:21.300
I want my freedom back. And I'm gonna take it. That's the thing. I don't want his pity. I don't
00:37:26.020
want his sympathy. I don't want him to try to relate to me. Leave me alone and let me go. Um,
00:37:31.380
and when he says, oh, you know, our government has been attacked. How about my freedom? I don't care.
00:37:38.340
You're a politician. You're supposed to take political heat from the opposition party.
00:37:42.420
That's part of our adversarial parliamentary system. If you don't like it, get out of politics.
00:37:47.700
Give me back my freedom. You've attacked our freedom for 20 months or 22 months. I don't
00:37:53.860
care if your feelings are hurt as a politician. I really don't. And it's just like the conservative
00:37:58.420
premier in this province, Sheila, Ontario. I will scream if I hear Doug Ford announcing more
00:38:05.780
lockdowns, use the phrase, well, you know, folks, I'm all about small business. If I had my way,
00:38:12.100
I wouldn't do. Open for business. You're the premier. I mean, you're, you're the buck stops.
00:38:18.020
It's literally you're the, it's your way. It's your way. Whatever happens, it's your way. You're
00:38:22.260
the premier in a majority government. And Sheila, let us please all ignore that inconvenient sidebar
00:38:28.580
when it comes to premier Ford, that his business deco labels, they never shut down during the pandemic.
00:38:35.780
Because, you know, yeah, well, it's essential. We got, they're making, I presume, those directional
00:38:42.180
arrows for aisleways. So you don't, you know, pass somebody and get their COVID cooties, I suppose. But
00:38:49.540
it, this is who I have the most content for more so than Trudeau, Sheila, when conservative premiers
00:38:58.740
are going along this, because they're supposed to be our champion. They're supposed to be the
00:39:04.580
resistance to this. And they're all compliant. And suddenly now, well, they're waking up, aren't
00:39:11.300
they? Yeah. Scott Moe, he was, when that convoy rolled through Saskatoon, he was like, oh, time to open
00:39:19.060
up. It was like that afternoon, a press release was out saying restrictions are rolling back.
00:39:25.700
He, he just, at least he was like, quick on his feet with it. Jason Kenney, he had to be dragged
00:39:32.820
kicking and screaming by a bunch of truckers and farmers at the border causing economic havoc on
00:39:38.100
the meatpacking industry. But that's okay, they'll be fine. It's inexplicable. As you said earlier,
00:39:42.180
this is likely his very base. Unbelievable. Sheila, I know we're on limited time today. Do we have some
00:39:47.620
chats that we must get to? We definitely do. Yeah, we only have six minutes left in the show,
00:39:52.500
because we have a hard stop, because we have to, we have that press conference coming up.
00:39:56.740
And we want to make sure that everybody who's watching stay with us, because we're going to
00:40:00.420
be broadcasting a press conference from the convoy organizers in Ottawa. And of course,
00:40:05.540
you want to hear what they have to say, not what the mainstream media said they said.
00:40:09.780
This is the best way. Just hear it with your own ears and see it with your own eyes.
00:40:13.540
Okay, so let's get through this. We've got Annalisa, 1964. Annalisa's got Menzoid in the
00:40:18.580
bloodstream like an AstraZeneca clot. 20 bucks. Hello, sweet Menzies. I have missed you so much.
00:40:25.460
Sheila, you're amazing as always. Well, thank you so much.
00:40:28.820
Fraser McBurney with his caps locked on gives us five bucks. Every government and every political
00:40:33.140
party in Canada supported the mandates. With all the private information coming out,
00:40:36.980
when will these criminals be charged? Look at the damage they knowingly did. They're not
00:40:40.740
even going to get fired, let alone charged. I think nothing's going to come of this. They're
00:40:46.020
just going to open and just carry on with their lives and take their six-figure salaries
00:40:49.940
and just keep going. And they'll never be held accountable for all the damage they did to the
00:40:54.260
entire country. John N. Twissel, 20 bucks. In this day and age, all countries want a presentable
00:41:00.660
leader to be the face of their country. It's a vanity thing, good or bad. That's why Candace is the
00:41:05.860
only choice to get elected, Candace Bergen. The thing is, now that she's interim leader,
00:41:11.380
I don't think she's going to run for main leader, where usually the interim leader is just somebody
00:41:16.020
who's supposed to hold everything together while you do the other picking, which I think that would
00:41:21.700
have been an interesting race to see Candace and Pierre, and I don't know who would have been my
00:41:26.900
favourite, because Candace ticks a lot of identity boxes that the Liberals care about, and it would
00:41:34.340
be hard to attack her on certain things. But Pierre is true blue, and he's right on all the issues. So
00:41:40.900
it would have been an interesting race. I'd like to see who is going to run up against Pierre and lose.
00:41:45.220
That's my prediction. MKUltra gives us five bucks. Gotta love the optics of seeing the big FedEx
00:41:54.980
logo let through by the cops. True or not, it gives the impression that government only cares about big
00:42:00.180
business. Yeah, that's true. John N. Twissel gives us 10 bucks. David Rocks, I hope his wonderful
00:42:07.380
on-air partner is in isolation. I'm not sick. Really, I'm not sick.
00:42:11.860
I actually had a COVID test two days ago. It's not the cron. I'm not sick. It's fine. I have a
00:42:19.380
structural issue with my sinuses. It's not, I'm not sick. It's fine. I'm not coughing. I'm just
00:42:27.540
leaky. Grazer McBurdy gives us five bucks. Lie your, lie your pants on fire. I hope you're talking
00:42:33.780
about Jason Kenney. Because yeah, there's a five alarm cotton Dockers fire happening underneath
00:42:40.500
from, from like the waist down on Jason Kenney. Uh, MKUltra gives us six bucks. Whatever happens,
00:42:48.340
Kenny has to go. He's proven that he's weak and can't be trusted. Uh, I don't, yeah. I mean,
00:42:54.340
if they're going to replace him, they got to do it right now. Like right now. Cause, uh, uh,
00:42:59.460
Rachel Notley, she's fishing around already. She's already talking about, you know, like all of a sudden
00:43:05.720
she cares about small businesses and she's like, oh, you know, like look at the damage being done
00:43:09.480
to small businesses by Jason Kenney, not dealing with the border problem. She cares about small
00:43:13.880
businesses now. She would have you believe. Uh, let's keep going. Uh, Georgie Georgie gives us
00:43:20.280
one buck. The truckers forced everyone's hand, which I'm happy to see. Welcome back. David couldn't
00:43:25.480
have come back at a better time. Yeah. It's all hands on deck here at Rebel News. I'm glad David's back.
00:43:29.880
Oh, and I'm so happy too. And by the way, if anyone's in the Ottawa area, I will be going, uh,
00:43:35.880
to Ottawa leaving on tomorrow with, uh, our ACE shooter Maurizio. So, uh, I hope to see our, uh,
00:43:43.240
friends and fans there. Okie doke. Rod, Ron, you're going to have fun there. I'm going to see if I can get
00:43:52.440
down to coots. I feel like those are my people. I would fit right in there. I'd be perfectly fine.
00:43:58.120
Show up on my insulated coveralls, um, from the trucking company my husband works for. It'll be
00:44:02.520
great. Uh, Rod, Ron gives us 10 bucks. Jason Kenney's a pansy boo hoo. Doug Ford has too much
00:44:08.120
cheesecake. I'm sure weighing scales is not allowed in Queens Park. There's so many other things to
00:44:16.760
attack those two for, um, lean dog, just so many, uh, lean dog, 20 bucks. The police and government
00:44:25.240
officials work for we, the people film and record everything because the camera doesn't lie. Like
00:44:29.720
Trudeau's funded lapdog, fake news media, hold the line. We support you. Isn't that the truth?
00:44:34.920
I always think about Nick Sandman, that kid, his life was on a fast track to being destroyed. Now
00:44:41.640
he's a very wealthy man. Once the whole video came out in context and that is the benefit of recording
00:44:48.440
everything, especially when you have the lying mainstream media around you. A hundred percent.
00:44:54.600
Trini Canadian, he gives us $2. Could this be Canada's great awakening? AD play the video from
00:45:00.600
the convoy. I don't know. Can you do that or no? We'll do it later. I think we have to free up.
00:45:07.800
He says he'll try to close the show with it. I hopefully you watch it first before we broadcast
00:45:14.840
something inappropriate. Um, gee, sorry. I, my face is really sore, so I can't wear my glasses. So I'm
00:45:22.760
just squinting my way through this. G M E Lindag 60. I'm sorry. I really can't see it. I have
00:45:30.920
terrible eyesight. Uh, five bucks. Love Rebel News from Texas here. Well, thanks so much.
00:45:37.800
Look at that, David. We did it on time. We wrapped up the show on time.
00:45:41.800
Fantastic. Well, I want to say to all our viewers, thank you so much for your financial support. We
00:45:48.280
really do depend on it. And of course, thank you to my cohost, Sheila Gunn-Reed. Sheila and I will be back
00:45:54.680
on Tuesday, uh, with more of the Rebel News live stream. In the meantime, folks, stay sane.
