Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you, in which we look back at
00:00:04.920
some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favorite rebels. I'm your host, David Menzies.
00:00:11.120
Hey, hold your tongue. You see, the CBC has a new list of words that are under the ban.
00:00:18.080
Just one hitch, though. Turns out CBC executives are using those words that they don't want you
00:00:26.300
to use. What the hell? Um, can I say hell? Sheila Gunn-Reed has all the nitty-gritty details.
00:00:35.120
Do you remember the 1994 Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, Junior? It was about the world's first
00:00:41.320
pregnant man. Well, what was a supposed comedy in yesterdecade is now becoming a reality today.
00:00:49.560
Wow, Natasha Biazzi has all the gruesome details. And letters, we get your letters,
00:00:55.360
we get your letters every minute of every day. And I'll share some of your responses
00:00:59.800
about my interview with a protesting nurse who was complaining about the stress level of working
00:01:06.640
at Ontario hospitals these days. Um, do you think a major factor might be all those nurses who were
00:01:14.380
suspended without pay for not getting vaxxed? Those are your rebels. Now let's round them up.
00:01:25.360
Do you remember in late November when CBC decided that they were going to scold and lecture all the
00:01:35.980
normal people of Canada for the crime of using common parlance that CBC decided was racist?
00:01:41.740
In case you missed that lecture, here are the words that CBC said you can't use. Blackmail,
00:01:47.360
blacklist, black sheep, ghetto, inner city, spooky, sold down the river, grandfathered in, spirit,
00:01:56.200
animal, powwow, tribe, lowest on the totem pole, savage, gypped, gypsy, first world problem like CBC
00:02:07.460
lecturing you, brainstorm, blindsided, blind spot, dumb, lame, tone deaf, and crippled.
00:02:15.780
Let's read from this article. Have you ever casually used the terms spirit animal, first world
00:02:21.880
problem, or spooky? It might be time to rethink your use of these phrases and remove them from
00:02:27.580
your daily lingo. CBC Ottawa compiled a small list of words submitted by readers and some of our
00:02:34.640
journalists who are black, indigenous, and people of color. We ran some of the words by anti-racism and
00:02:40.360
language experts, obviously looking for a solution in search of a problem, who said some of these
00:02:46.220
phrases can be hurtful to various groups of people for their historical and cultural context. Being an
00:02:52.580
English speaker doesn't entail that you necessarily know the racist entomology automatically.
00:02:58.840
Well, I'll be darned. Can I say darned? You see, Canada's state broadcaster slash propaganda mill
00:03:07.560
has long lectured citizens on implementing CBC approved language while banning words and phrases
00:03:15.740
that are somehow offensive to somebody. And yet documents reveal that CBC's own executives
00:03:25.180
are guilty of using a few of their own banned words. Holy hypocrisy. And joining me now to weigh
00:03:34.760
in on this issue is Rebels chief reporter, and that would be Sheila Gunn-Reed. How are you doing there,
00:03:40.600
Sheila? David, I'm great. I'm thinking of new ways to shoehorn banned words into my common parlance.
00:03:47.160
It seems as though CBC banned, at least for Canadians, but not for themselves. Any phrase that included
00:03:54.220
the word black in it, blacklist, black ball, even black sheep. I mean, who's complaining about that?
00:04:01.560
But simultaneously, while scolding Canadians about innocuous use of common phrases,
00:04:09.560
they were using them all over the place, behind closed doors, even in discussions about their new
00:04:16.560
diversity panel. They were using the phrase blacklist, which I just thought was, you know,
00:04:21.020
to use a phrase I used the other night on the live stream, perfection.
00:04:26.400
But you know, Sheila, I'm so glad you brought up the whole black issue because you're right.
00:04:30.840
Black male, black sheep, those are on the CBC ban list. But this shows you how stupid these
00:04:38.220
bureaucrats at the CBC are. Black male has nothing to do with race. It has nothing to do with black
00:04:44.680
people. The word traces its origin back to 16th century Scotland. Not a lot of black people
00:04:51.280
there. And it had, like I said, its origins are not rooted in race at all. They just see
00:04:57.520
the word black and they assume it's a race or a skin color word. And they don't even do their
00:05:04.400
research. I mean, and so therefore, black male, black sheep, it goes on the CBC blacklist.
00:05:11.440
Oops, is there a blacklist? I guess that's under the bend too.
00:05:17.200
Well, that's the thing. And, you know, this, it wasn't us who filed for this access to information.
00:05:24.320
Somebody else did, but it was proactively disclosed by the government because they can
00:05:28.540
only sort of keep back documents they've released to someone else for a certain period of time before
00:05:34.160
they become available to the public. And so we routinely scan those because there's a lot of gold
00:05:39.240
there. The reason we think there's a lot of gold there is sometimes mainstream media organizations
00:05:44.700
file for access to information. They get responses, but it's not the response they were looking for.
00:05:52.020
And so they just don't bother doing it. They bury the story. They try to bury the documents.
00:05:56.680
So we routinely scan these and that's how we found this. And some intrepid access to information
00:06:03.980
filer, you know, I'm a little embarrassed. It wasn't me. They asked for the use of CBC executives
00:06:11.240
using these words. And I think that's important. I think there are probably still some normal people
00:06:17.220
left at the CBC or people who just don't care about this stuff, but you want a good, reliable job
00:06:22.360
in media where you're insulated from the reality of actually having to do good work because the
00:06:29.900
government's always going to give you $1.5 billion a year. There's some of those people, just worker
00:06:33.920
bees there. I don't really care what the worker bees are saying, but I do care what the CBC executives
00:06:40.340
are saying. In particular, Catherine Tate, she was using these words. She's the CEO of CBC who doesn't
00:06:47.580
even actually live in Canada. I think she lives in New York. So I guess the Canadian content rules don't
00:06:53.140
apply to her. Actually, Sheila, I take great offense to the term worker bees. I think that's
00:06:59.900
classist, if you don't mind me saying so. The idea of worker bees and soldier bees and the queen bee,
00:07:05.940
there's monarchy and imperialism for you. But, you know, Sheila, the world is now beyond parody when you
00:07:13.280
see these kind of stories. I used to do, at the end of the year at Rebel, I would, you know, so it'd be
00:07:19.260
the last day of December. I'd make predictions for the following year about crazy things that would
00:07:25.940
be deemed politically incorrect. And one time, what I said was that the word brainstorm will be put on
00:07:34.060
the do not use list because it will refer to a storm in one's brain. The mentally ill will complain
00:07:40.880
about that. Sure enough, when I aired that weeks later, somebody from England informed me and showed
00:07:47.020
me the newspaper article that a town council there banned the term brainstorm for that very reason.
00:07:53.440
And here it is. Brainstorm is on the CBC list. Sheila, this is insane. We all brainstorm every
00:08:01.200
morning here at Rebel News. How is this offensive to those having mental illness problems? Is this a
00:08:10.080
matter of the CBC worker bees, if you will, being offended on the behalf of somebody that isn't
00:08:17.120
offended in the first place? I think so. I think this is like, you know, you so often see
00:08:23.660
white liberals, privileged white liberals telling poor minority is what they need to do to succeed.
00:08:31.400
You see that all the time. It's just for a bunch of people against the patriarchy and
00:08:36.220
condescension. They're sure real good at it. I think there's a lot of that people being offended
00:08:40.900
on behalf of other people who just don't care. And we, when you say that the liberals are quickly
00:08:49.300
becoming beyond parody, how many predictions from the Babylon Bee have come true? You know,
00:08:55.940
it's constant with them. They're like another Babylon Bee prophecy comes true. But this happened to us
00:09:01.800
too. We did a story called, um, big tech censored Trump and they could censor you too. And I'm
00:09:11.820
paraphrasing. And you know what big tech did? Censored us and demonetized us for that. And you know,
00:09:18.200
like, as you say, they are beyond parody. There's no, um, sense of self-awareness whatsoever when
00:09:24.740
they're doing these sorts of things. They call, you know, the word brainstorming ableism,
00:09:30.220
but it's always some perfectly healthy guy saying that you can't be ableist. And the people who are
00:09:37.900
experiencing whatever disability they think you're defending them, you know, they're stopping you
00:09:43.340
from insulting. They generally don't care. You know, Sheila, I can't recall one instance in my life where I
00:09:50.100
even use that word ableist. These are the fake manufactured words. I only use it to mock people.
00:09:56.660
I only use it to mock them. And speaking of mocking, you're right. Babylon Bee articles are
00:10:01.560
becoming reality. As I've said before, uh, in 2019, mad magazine, which used to be a license to print
00:10:08.020
money went out of business. I think because partly you can no longer, uh, parody the world anymore.
00:10:14.840
Mad magazine is now the front page of your newspaper. And I'm going through these words again,
00:10:20.540
Sheila, and I'm trying to find the offensiveness in them, uh, grandfathered in. Is that because
00:10:27.740
maybe if someone just, Oh, it's ages. I see. Uh, lame. What's wrong with lame? Ableist again,
00:10:35.400
ableist again, David. But if you, but so we can't refer to a president as being a lame duck president,
00:10:40.940
uh, because of the, the, the ableist problem. Here's one blind spot. If you drive a car,
00:10:47.700
you have a blind spot. You have to do the shoulder check. Who in blue hell, Sheila is offended by the
00:10:54.160
word blind spot. I don't know. Blind drivers. I have no idea. You know, if you cannot see something,
00:11:01.840
if you are, if it is, if you can't see it, you're blind to it, right? Like that's, that's a
00:11:09.000
descriptive word. It's not an ableist term, but we've got CBC in that article, they were able to
00:11:17.360
round up, I don't know, experts, uh, to say that these words are somehow offensive. But this goes
00:11:25.540
back to my theory that this is a, like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Yeah. There's this
00:11:31.340
subclass of academics who go around saying everything is offensive or everything is racist,
00:11:37.540
but you know, who offers the solution, the training to help people address their so-called
00:11:43.460
racism or offensive language. Those very same people. So they accuse you of something. So they
00:11:50.600
create the market for what they're selling and then they come along and sell it to you. And
00:11:54.260
government agencies are happy to spend the money because it's not their money. Yeah, it's our money.
00:12:00.100
And that's what makes us doubly egregious. But Sheila, I want to know, has CBC responded publicly about
00:12:06.460
this hypocrisy, this double standard, them tutting us to not use all these words on my sheet and yet
00:12:13.280
they use it. They haven't even responded to this, have they? No. I mean, these are the same people
00:12:19.540
who kept their mouths shut about their flagship conspiracy theorist, Wendy Mesley, using the N-word
00:12:28.240
at least twice in staff meetings. And they kept their mouths shut about it until a whistleblower
00:12:34.620
went public about it. And then they had to remove her from the air. But this simultaneously, the woman
00:12:42.200
is on air calling conservatives all over the place racist. She did that atrocious interview with
00:12:48.400
Maxime Bernier, basically saying that he was a racist because he was conservative. And what about
00:12:55.440
rebel news? Like why he even bothered to talk to us? I'm pretty sure we don't use the N-word in staff
00:13:02.140
meetings, Wendy. You do. But she has no problem calling people the thing that which she is guilty
00:13:09.440
of, like so many liberals, Justin Trudeau. Oh, my goodness. You know, should Pierre Paliyev or
00:13:17.100
Leslie Lewis become prime minister in the future? Hopefully they will make good on their pledge to
00:13:23.860
defund the CBC. This is just another outrageous, egregious example. One last thing, Sheila,
00:13:29.900
because we're running out of time. I don't know if you noticed, I hesitated introducing you
00:13:35.280
at the beginning of the show, given your title, rebel chief reporter. Chief, I believe, is going the
00:13:42.880
way. Well, I'll make a prediction right now. The Kansas City Chiefs, the great NFL football team down in
00:13:48.080
Missouri. In our lifetime, they will have another nickname like the Redskins, the Indians, the Eskimos.
00:13:54.920
That is going to be a term non grata for non-Indigenous people. Your last thought,
00:14:01.180
Sheila. And do we have a new title for you so we don't offend anyone at the CBC?
00:14:06.180
You know, it's very interesting because I have a very close friend, friend my whole life.
00:14:09.960
Chief. He's Indigenous. His nickname, everybody knows him by Chief. Everybody knows. And I don't
00:14:17.140
think he's ever been offended about it a day in his life. It's what he calls himself. If I call him
00:14:21.600
by his real name, it weirds him out. So again, this is just a bunch of white liberals being offended on
00:14:27.240
behalf of other people, normal people, minorities who are too busy living their lives to care.
00:14:34.160
Couldn't have said it better myself, Sheila. Great piece as always. Thank you so much. And you
00:14:38.940
have a great weekend, my friend. You too, David. Thanks a lot. And that was Sheila Gunn-Reed
00:14:44.720
somewhere in the northern hinterland of Alberta. Keep it here, folks. More of Rebel Roundup to come
00:14:50.420
right after this. Naturally born biological males are now possibly going to be able to carry children
00:14:59.180
through womb transplants. Yes, that doesn't sound at all frightening. Bye-bye, women. Yeah. I mean,
00:15:04.920
what a way to render us completely obsolete. It's been nice being here. Yeah.
00:15:08.940
Thanks for having us, Earth. It's been peachy. So Dr. Narendra Kaushik is a New Delhi surgeon,
00:15:15.240
and basically he claims that this is the future and hopes that the surgery will allow trans women
00:15:21.380
to carry children. Let's not even talk about the fact that this whole procedure is very expensive
00:15:27.560
and risky. What about the implications this might have on the child? Like, how do we, we don't know.
00:15:33.860
We have no idea. Like, why are children always unconsenting subjects to weird social experiments?
00:15:38.180
Every transgender woman wants to be as female as possible. That includes being a mother,
00:15:42.160
this doctor is quoted as saying. So, sorry, first of all, not every woman can have babies,
00:15:46.860
and not every woman wants to have babies. Feels like the end of times.
00:15:49.960
It really does. I'm just like, what are, like, men can carry babies, abort your baby because you just
00:15:56.260
don't feel like it, even after it's been born, arguably. Yeah. Like, and, and now let's just put
00:16:01.580
uteruses. The one beautiful privilege that women do have, most women do have, is to be able to give
00:16:07.080
birth, and you're just going to take that away from us too? Like, goodness gracious, Lord, take me now.
00:16:11.020
A man can take that and implant it into another man. Like, what is the need for women at all?
00:16:16.200
There is no need for us. And we're going to become second-class citizens like we were in the
00:16:19.740
past, and this is feminism? Folks, do you remember that 1994 wannabe comedy, Junior,
00:16:28.920
starring Arnold Schwarzenegger? It was about the world's first pregnant man, but what was once
00:16:36.760
fodder for jokes almost 30 years ago is now becoming reality today? Yeah, apparently transhumanoids
00:16:45.540
want to have babies. And thanks to a heaping helping of weird science, it looks as though
00:16:53.100
their wishes shall be granted in the near future. Holy Frankenstein!
00:17:04.440
And joining me now with more on this story is Natasha Biaze. Welcome to Rebel Roundup, Natasha.
00:17:11.060
Thank you for having me. You know, that piece you did with Kat, it comes across as comedy,
00:17:18.400
but there's an underlying layer to it, which I find disturbing. I should mention, I think 1994 was
00:17:26.560
the year you were born. It was. And I know the idea back then was Arnold Schwarzenegger,
00:17:32.800
top action star in the world. If we, guys will buy a ticket just seeing his name on the poster. If we can
00:17:39.660
get just half of the female audience to buy tickets, then this will be the biggest box office
00:17:46.360
movie of all time. Well, the studio outsmarted itself. It was a critical failure and it was a
00:17:52.660
box office failure because nobody in the nineties thought this was a good idea. A man about to give
00:18:00.000
birth. What is going on right now? Yeah, it's funny. I guess the world didn't learn from that movie's
00:18:05.120
mistakes. Hey, yeah, it's, it's wild. I mean, I, to me, what's most controversial about it is the
00:18:11.740
fact that science and the medical industry is just really trying to actually erase women. Like that's
00:18:17.220
what this is. Because if, if this Indian doctor is successful in transplanting a womb inside a
00:18:22.800
biological male, then what is the use for women? You know, I, I think there's, um, some perverse
00:18:28.580
irony that this, uh, Indian doctor is indeed a doctor in India. I'm being repetitive there because
00:18:35.640
last I looked, I don't think India was having a problem with its population. So here's, here's a,
00:18:42.860
uh, an operation procedure that gives, uh, people that normally wouldn't have a baby,
00:18:48.580
the opportunity to have a baby in what is one of the most populous nations on earth.
00:18:52.740
Don't get that. No, me either. And it's like, as you, we were kind of chatting about this earlier,
00:18:57.980
but it's like, aren't there other things that we should be focusing on in the medical industry?
00:19:01.700
You know, maybe healing people would be nice. I mean, there's many diseases that have yet to
00:19:05.320
be cured. Yes. You know, and what is the cost of this operation? Uh, Natasha? Yeah, it was, um,
00:19:13.700
so I, they haven't successfully performed this operation before. So this is experimental. They did
00:19:17.980
it back in the thirties. I think it was, um, and I don't know if your audience is familiar with the
00:19:22.720
movie, the Danish girl that, that was the first person to ever have this surgery performed on them.
00:19:27.980
And I think it costs like tens of thousands of dollars. Plus you have to do IVF on top of that
00:19:32.420
because you have to fertilize outside of the body and then implant it inside this biological male.
00:19:38.980
Well, it seems like a whole lot of trouble and a whole lot of money. Here's where I stand when it
00:19:44.940
comes to transgenderism. Uh, Natasha, look, if you want to slice and dice your genitalia, if you want
00:19:50.820
to take hormones, if you want to dress in the clothes of the opposite sex, you know, knock your boots
00:19:56.360
out, we're all about freedom. But you know, as Bill Maher said, uh, the other week, not everything
00:20:02.960
is about you, you being the trans community. You see them out there with the, uh, abortion pro, uh,
00:20:09.420
protests, um, yet they can't deliver babies. So I, I don't know why they're there. And now we have this,
00:20:18.080
it's all about pregnancy. Um, I, I just, if you want to live your life, uh, as, as a trans person
00:20:26.800
and you're not one of these, uh, people such as, uh, Leah Thomas, who is destroying NCAA swimming for
00:20:36.020
biological females, uh, I have no problem with that, but I do have a problem with this kind of
00:20:41.560
intrusion that's going on. What are your thoughts?
00:20:44.260
No, absolutely. And just kind of going back on the protesters and stuff, um, Bill Maher saying,
00:20:49.540
uh, you know, it's not about you. It's true. There's such an authoritarian aspect to all of
00:20:54.860
this where I have to bend my morals and my values to appease you and to appease the less than 1% of
00:21:01.120
the population. True. You know, truthfully, it's not like this is the majority of people are struggling
00:21:06.600
with gender confusion or they weren't up until, you know, there was this weird agenda, I guess there's
00:21:12.500
been a weird agenda rather to push it on people, specifically children.
00:21:16.840
And look at how that agenda is being carried out. My goodness gracious, Disney world in Florida.
00:21:23.640
It's now under the ban to use ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. You're supposed to use something
00:21:29.000
generic like friends. I mean, it sounds like the Frankenstein monster talking friend, friend.
00:21:34.480
And I can't help but think if Walt Disney were alive, he'd probably strangle the CEO. We are
00:21:41.740
catering. I mean, the phrase, the tail wagging, the dog comes to mind, Natasha, because we are talking
00:21:47.960
about a percent of a percent of a percent of those people who aren't just trans, but they're radical
00:21:55.660
trans. And yet it seems that the radical trans agenda is driving policy for everyone.
00:22:02.980
No, it's true. And to your point, I'm sure most members of the LGBTQ, ABCDEFG community
00:22:09.640
just want to be left alone. Like, I think they just want to be able to, you know, marry whoever
00:22:15.000
they want, dress up whoever they want without bothering other people and just go on being
00:22:19.220
productive members of society. So you're right. There is just this radical part of this that
00:22:23.780
doesn't represent the community at all, I'd argue. Yeah. And by the way, you forgot 2S.
00:22:28.180
Oh, sorry. You've got to throw that in there when you do that. I'm such a bigot.
00:22:31.000
People at Descriptor. And even the language is changing. We have a Supreme Court judge in the
00:22:39.540
U.S. that could not identify the definition of a woman. Yes. We have people saying, oh,
00:22:45.600
you're not supposed to use breastfeeding anymore. It's chest feeding because we don't offend those
00:22:50.760
trans people that don't have breasts. Natasha, there was a story from yesteryear,
00:22:57.720
The Emperor's New Cloak. And it ends, of course, with the little boy seeing through the BS and
00:23:03.080
saying, hey, the king's naked. I don't think you could write that book today because now
00:23:09.040
pointing out the obvious, if it's insensitive to even a tiny fraction of a radicalized population,
00:23:17.020
that's offside. No, it's so true. And it just speaks to the importance of talking about these
00:23:22.440
ideas and not letting the narrative overpower the truth, right? Because we know we're right. We're on
00:23:27.680
the right side of history here. And yeah, I think that story should be an inspiration for all of us
00:23:32.780
as conservatives, because I think we need to start conserving. Yeah. One last question. And this is
00:23:39.320
very sensitive. And of course, those who bring it up, you're automatically labeled as transphobic.
00:23:44.700
But the facts are there. There have been studies that are showing that a more than average rate
00:23:51.900
of, say, autism, Asperger's syndrome are in the trans community. And simply by pointing that out,
00:23:59.820
going by the numbers, and science is science. This is not the weird science we were talking about
00:24:04.760
before. You are labeled as being a hater, insensitive, et cetera. But I am of the belief that
00:24:12.540
many in the radical transgender community that are driving these agendas, there is an element of
00:24:19.620
mental illness. Why are we bending the knee to these people instead of helping them get better?
00:24:24.800
Yeah. No, it's crazy how our medical system is failing these people by just, they go in for their
00:24:30.460
appointment and they're handed puberty blockers and all this stuff without really doing their proper,
00:24:34.740
you know, thorough research on this person. And yeah, I think we're really doing a disservice to people.
00:24:39.740
And just how this is going to affect kids and people in the long term. Like, man, society's on
00:24:44.760
fire right now. Imagine what it's going to be like when these people are running the show.
00:24:51.980
No, you got to, you got to be a warrior to get the world back on course, Natasha.
00:24:57.740
Anyways, you and Kat did a wonderful piece on that.
00:25:01.180
I'll tell you folks, I mean, look at some of those photos associated with these transgender
00:25:06.800
birthing movements. I can't help but think when the child is old enough to speak, maybe
00:25:11.880
one of his or her first questions is, mommy, why do you have a beard?
00:25:17.320
In any event, keep it here. More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
00:25:25.140
David Menzies for Rebel News here in Toronto. Well, folks, the other day we ventured down
00:25:30.320
to the TV Ontario studio. That was the venue for the Ontario leaders debate. And outside
00:25:37.720
there were a couple of protests. One of them was comprised of nurses and their complaint
00:25:44.800
was twofold. A, they've only received a 1% salary increase during COVID. And secondly,
00:25:53.640
that the stress level working in hospitals and other healthcare institutions is off the
00:26:00.100
charts. Now, here's the thing. When I looked at asking the nurse I was interviewing about
00:26:06.600
the root causes of the stress, namely that hundreds of nurses have been laid off without
00:26:14.400
salary or benefits. And maybe that is adding to the workload that is adding to the stress.
00:26:23.340
Check out what another nurse had to say. Suddenly, when it came to vaccination, it was none of my
00:26:30.760
bloody business. Check it out. What is the reason why it's anybody but Doug?
00:26:37.060
Because he's just broken a lot of promises, every promise. And he capped our wages at 1%.
00:26:42.420
We're a female dominant profession, obviously, and I think that's why he did it.
00:26:47.920
Ma'am, what would make you happy in terms of what this Doug Ford government could do in terms
00:26:53.840
of a wage increase or anything else? He needs to really look at the wages. He needs to acknowledge
00:27:00.120
what we do. I don't think a lot of people have a clue what the RPNs do in comparison to the RN role
00:27:07.060
or the PSW role. We do everything. We do the care. We have the hands-on care. I've worked in the long-term
00:27:14.220
care setting as well, and I left because it is way too much there as well. There's too much of a burden
00:27:20.520
on the nurse. You're working for free, sometimes for an hour, an hour and a half. Because you have
00:27:26.040
a license, you can't leave. I think he really understands any of that, which is a lack of
00:27:29.980
respect. If you want to put a cap on our wages, before you do that, you need to understand what
00:27:35.280
we do and then tell us why you don't think we deserve a decent wage. I'm just wondering, we keep
00:27:40.780
hearing how overworked people in the medical profession are because of COVID. What's your opinion
00:27:47.040
of those nurses who were suspended without pay for not getting the COVID jab?
00:27:52.260
We're done? Why are we done here? I wasn't even talking to you, sir.
00:27:57.580
Okay, then. But do you have an opinion on that? I mean, if these nurses were on the floor,
00:28:05.280
I think there's reasons why nurses, there's a lot of nurses that, for medical reasons,
00:28:11.160
couldn't get the vaccine. And I don't think they should have been terminated. Okay? He was not
00:28:17.820
allowing anything, any exemptions to be accepted. So I think it depends on the circumstance. But
00:28:25.680
that's not what our shortages are for. Nurses are walking away because they are stressed out and fed up.
00:28:31.280
Well, there we have it, folks. Thanks to the odious vax passport, this is surely a reason working
00:28:37.480
conditions are allegedly so stressful at Ontario health care facilities. That's just stating a
00:28:43.860
fact. So why was it that the nosy Parker next to my interview subject tried to terminate the interview
00:28:51.700
simply because we were discussing a piece of hard reality that flies in the face of the official
00:28:58.760
COVID-19 narrative? Pathetic. In any event, you had plenty to say. Campion04 writes,
00:29:07.480
it's the cutest thing. A handler behind you determining what you can or cannot say.
00:29:14.000
Make sure it fits the party line. Well, indeed, Campion04, is this the newest slice of cancel culture?
00:29:21.240
You know, social justice warriors eavesdropping on conversations like the Thought Police from 1984?
00:29:31.200
Richard Marr writes, I'm surprised the nurse let the feminine looking boy tell her that she was done
00:29:39.440
speaking. Great interview. And I love how you handle censors. Well, thanks kindly, Richard. And
00:29:45.960
remember how once upon a time freedom of speech was championed by the left? These days, it seems that
00:29:53.600
freedom is the new F word when it comes to these so-called progressives. CH33F writes,
00:30:03.420
oh, poor things don't have the time for those TikTok dances anymore. Hey, good point, CH33F.
00:30:11.120
I guess when you make the unvaxxed walk the plank, there's a staff shortage when it comes to nurses
00:30:17.820
doing those wannabe Broadway song and dance numbers, which I never understood in the first
00:30:23.900
place, to tell you the truth. And Tamara B. writes, as a nurse, she still thinks wearing a mask outside
00:30:30.620
is needed. Yeah, that was odd, Tamara. And you might have noticed her nose was uncovered too,
00:30:38.280
which, of course, is a breach of mask etiquette, I'm told. But at least she made the time to answer
00:30:44.060
my questions. And she did not bend the knee to the censorious soy boy who wanted the interview to
00:30:50.760
end. So I do appreciate that. Well, that wraps up another edition of Rebel Roundup. Thanks so much
00:30:57.980
for joining us. See you next week. And hey, folks, never forget, without risk, there can be no glory.
