Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you, in which we look back at
00:00:04.680
some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favorite rebels. I'm your host, David Menzies.
00:00:11.060
Well, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis sat down for an exclusive interview
00:00:14.760
with our Miami correspondent, Juan Mendoza. One of the issues they touched upon was the
00:00:21.160
growing trend of Latinos leaving the Democrats in favor of the Republicans. Just wait to hear
00:00:28.000
what the governor had to say. Oh, and here we go again. A bunch of radical transgender nutbars and
00:00:34.720
their soy boy allies managed to get a Dave Chappelle concert canceled at a Minneapolis concert venue.
00:00:43.280
Apparently, jokes that might be offensive would turn a comedy club into an unsafe space.
00:00:50.960
What a joke indeed. High energy Andrew Chapitose will weigh in on this latest gross example of
00:00:59.740
cancel culture. And letters, we get your letters. We get your letters every minute of every day.
00:01:05.700
And I'll share some of your letters about the huge turnout of demonstrators to last Saturday's
00:01:12.540
protests at the Vaughan Mills Shopping Centre just north of Toronto. It was all in support of the
00:01:18.780
Dutch farmers, farmers who are being threatened by their very own government. And if you think this
00:01:25.660
story is about some faraway place that doesn't affect you, well, the Justin Trudeau Liberals,
00:01:31.600
of course, they are planning to go to war with Canadian farmers, also in the name of climate change.
00:01:38.780
Unbelievable. Those are your rebels. Now let's round them up.
00:01:48.780
So now, Governor, one of the big things happening recently, too, is a lot of the Latino community is
00:01:57.860
leaving the Democratic Party. Republican Mayra Flores won a congressional seat in a largely Latino
00:02:02.980
district in South Texas that was a Democrat stronghold for around 100 years. We see Latinos
00:02:08.900
in Florida moving Republican, too. Why do you think that's happening?
00:02:12.180
Well, in Florida, I think there's a number of factors. I mean, one, you know, we have communities
00:02:17.120
that have very close connections to the evils of Marxism, Leninism, whether it's Cuban Americans,
00:02:22.500
whether it's people that have fled Venezuela, whether it's people that have fled Nicaragua. And the fact
00:02:26.500
of the matter is, you look at what Biden's doing, he's cozying up to all those people. And so I think
00:02:31.180
that that really revolt is revolting to a lot of those communities. I also think the fact that Florida,
00:02:36.460
you know, we kept the economy open, we had kids in school, working class constituencies,
00:02:41.280
which includes Latinos, not limited to that, of course, they were the ones that got killed by
00:02:45.920
these lockdowns in California and Illinois and these places. And so we lifted them up. We protected
00:02:51.740
jobs and we protected their kids' education. I think that was a huge thing. They also are
00:02:56.760
constituencies that believe in law and order. And so here in the state of Florida, we've stood with
00:03:01.760
law enforcement. We were not allowing rioting. We have actually signed legislation banning any
00:03:08.220
local government from defunding law enforcement. And that is just something that having a safe
00:03:13.520
community is so important. The only people that like these Soros policies are like very elite,
00:03:19.640
liberal white people, basically. No one else in the country wants any of this stuff. And so I think
00:03:24.560
you're seeing that. Then I also think the woke ideology is really repelling voters from all different
00:03:31.120
demographics. But I think particularly when you look at a lot of the Hispanic community, I mean,
00:03:35.020
if you tell, you know, a Hispanic grandmother that she's not a Latina, that she's a Latinx,
00:03:40.960
she doesn't know what the hell you're talking about. I mean, this is lunacy, what they're doing,
00:03:45.540
trying to tell people that men can get pregnant and all this stuff. So I think that's just like
00:03:50.060
nails on the chalkboard. And, you know, in politics, you want to have policies that people
00:03:54.420
agree with and that benefit them. But there's also just a basic test. If they think you're just off
00:03:59.540
your rocker, they're not going to want to vote for you. And the woke Democratic Party is off its
00:04:04.660
rocker. Well, folks, that was an excerpt from Juan Mendoza's exclusive interview with Florida
00:04:10.320
Governor Ron DeSantis. And it's always a delight to hear from Governor DeSantis, the very definition
00:04:17.780
of a straight shooter, a politician who means what he says and says what he means. Yeah,
00:04:25.060
I know. What a concept. And joining me now is our Miami-based reporter, and that would indeed be
00:04:32.920
Juan Mendoza. Hey, how you doing there, Juan? Pretty good, David. It's good to be back here in
00:04:39.040
Miami. Well, that's fantastic. That is a place so many people want to be, especially people,
00:04:44.780
I would argue, in blue states. But the excerpt we played pertained to a very noticeable trend
00:04:51.860
that's occurring right now in Florida and other U.S. states. And that is Latinos are leaving the
00:04:59.580
Democrats en masse for the Republicans. And I think the governor was bang on. A big reason for this
00:05:07.260
crossing of the floor, if you will, is that many Latinos have fled Marxist regimes to become Americans
00:05:15.080
as well. Many of these Latinos look at the policies of the Democrats, and they realize this party
00:05:22.840
is becoming increasingly Marxist in nature. What say you, my friend?
00:05:30.020
Well, that is absolutely correct. So a lot of the Latino-based communities there, I mean,
00:05:34.900
they've come from countries such as Cuba and Venezuela, which they've seen their instances of
00:05:39.740
socialism and communism. And they just see the reality of what those ideologies and those political
00:05:45.820
forms of government are. So they know what real tyranny is. So that's why they came to the United
00:05:52.620
States to begin with. And like you said, with a lot of Democrats, they're trying to use the same
00:05:58.580
methods of government and follow the same kinds of ideologies that they fled. And the Latino community,
00:06:03.560
they see that. And they're seeing that the Republican Party right now is the party of freedom,
00:06:08.820
of liberty, of being able to work, of not being forced to wear masks in areas when they can't even
00:06:17.840
exercise their rights. So Latino communities, they are smart enough to see what's going on.
00:06:26.620
Another thing I've been seeing as well with those communities that a lot of them, they've been
00:06:31.240
affected by the current border crisis that the Biden administration has caused. So they're seeing
00:06:36.460
how the cartels are being empowered by the amount of human trafficking, narcotics trafficking, and
00:06:41.760
they're just seeing how their their communities are being heavily impacted, especially the border
00:06:46.000
communities. You can see that with the election of Mayda Flores for for her as a Republican
00:06:53.540
representative in Texas District 34, which was a Democrat stronghold for around 100 years. So
00:07:01.140
the Latino community, they've been seeing all this happening. And they've said enough is enough.
00:07:07.020
Indeed. And it's kind of funny, in a way, one, when you look at the Democrat leadership,
00:07:13.300
they look like they've just smoked a cigar that had an explosive in it. You know, they're,
00:07:19.040
they're actually stunned. They can't believe this data. They could always count on traditionally,
00:07:25.280
I would say, in the last several decades, that Latinos, by and large, more or less,
00:07:30.700
we're going to vote Democrat. And this must be scaring the you know what out of them, that there
00:07:37.280
is this very visible movement of what was once a base to take for granted, giving up on the Democrats.
00:07:46.840
Absolutely. And the Latino community has been seeing, especially recently, the Democrats do not
00:07:52.400
care about them. They just, they just use them as a platform to gain power. They don't really
00:07:58.640
actually care to what these groups of people have to have to say or their waves of life. I mean,
00:08:05.480
and they're starting to see that now that they're just being manipulated to vote for them. And like I
00:08:09.980
said, they've been saying enough is enough, which is why they're seeing that the Republicans are
00:08:14.360
actually representing them more. So they're starting to vote Republican now.
00:08:18.700
And you know, when we discussed how many of them fled Marxist regimes, they see how Marxist the
00:08:24.960
Democrat Party is getting. And by the way, if anyone thinks that I'm exaggerating, please, I urge you
00:08:30.020
read Mark Levin's most recent book, American Marxism. It is an incredible insight to what's going on
00:08:38.880
in terms of the left in America right now. So we do not exaggerate when it comes to that. It's more than
00:08:45.520
being progressive. But what I loved about Governor DeSantis, they're not fans of communism and they're
00:08:53.120
not fans of wokeism either. He talked about you go to a Latina grandmother and you say the word
00:09:01.880
Latinx. She doesn't know what you're talking about. I don't know what that means. I don't know where it
00:09:08.280
came from. When I first heard Latinx one, I thought that was the Hispanic division of the uncanny
00:09:14.520
X-Men, for goodness sakes. And again, it's political correctness being foisted on people
00:09:22.280
that have come to America to realize the American dream, and they don't want any part of that either.
00:09:28.660
What are your thoughts on, you know, the Latino community when it comes to wokeism and that
00:09:34.720
ridiculous descriptor that I don't think anyone ever uses, which is Latinx?
00:09:40.660
Well, David, the Latino community, they are not falling for this wokeism. They're some of the
00:09:46.760
most conservative and traditional groups of people around. And like you said, they'll be calling,
00:09:53.320
people will be trying to call them Latinx and they'll look at you like something's wrong with
00:09:58.060
you. They don't, they don't fall for that. And another thing, yeah. And another thing, I mean,
00:10:02.940
you could see how they were trying to, with these woke politics, they were trying to separate the
00:10:08.080
family, like Black Lives Matter had in their mission statement that their goal was to get
00:10:12.420
rid of the nuclear family. Yep. Latinos are the most family oriented groups of people
00:10:17.520
in the whole world. When you say that you're going to destroy the family, they do not tolerate that
00:10:23.200
at all. Oh, I totally agree. Whether it's Black Lives Matter, which is a Marxist movement,
00:10:29.940
when you peel back the onion skin there, whether it's radical transgenderism, this is all about
00:10:36.600
the war on the nuclear family, the war on women. And like you said, I agree with you a wholeheartedly
00:10:42.580
one, the Latino community recognizes for what it is. And they've seen that movie before in places
00:10:49.960
like Cuba and Venezuela, and they don't like how it ends. But switching gears, I have to say,
00:10:55.760
I love the fact that Governor DeSantis gave you this interview, that he gives you straight talk,
00:11:03.380
that he doesn't beat around the bush or use $3 words to convey his thoughts. And it must be so
00:11:13.220
wonderful living in a state where you have that man as a governor. Here in Ontario, we have allegedly
00:11:18.540
a conservative premier, Doug Ford. I used to be welcomed with open arms to his events. He proposed
00:11:24.780
a show for Rebel News. It's gone from that to if I show up to a Doug Ford event, I'm threatened with
00:11:31.360
arrest for trespass. So I guess what I'm saying is, it is so good to see a conservative that is so open
00:11:39.840
and means what he says and says what he means. What is his popularity right now in the state of
00:11:46.920
Florida? What? Governor DeSantis' popularity in Florida is very high. Now, a lot of rumors come out
00:11:54.120
about the 2024 and many people saying that he plans to run. But a lot of people actually tell me that they
00:11:59.800
would rather him stay and rerun as governor because they're afraid that they'll lose something really
00:12:04.860
good with DeSantis. I mean, he's led this state to such a good position right now. And they're seeing
00:12:13.180
with the amount of people that are moving to the state and the amount of people that were starting
00:12:18.680
to vote Republican and favor freedom policies. That's one of the concerns that many people at first
00:12:23.960
had with a lot of people moving in. They've been seeing states like Texas where people from California
00:12:28.700
and New York, they moved to cities like Austin and essentially turned the whole city blue.
00:12:34.800
But in Florida, it's been the opposite. People have been moving from all these states and they have
00:12:40.380
actually registered Republican. And for the first time, there's more Republicans than Democrats in the
00:12:46.400
state of Florida. And all these people, like I said, they're for freedom-loving policies.
00:12:50.940
They want to be able to work. They don't want to go through any kinds of mandates.
00:12:55.680
And they just, they want to live their lives and they want to be free. And DeSantis has recognized
00:13:01.200
that and he's done his best to be able to give that to the people.
00:13:04.460
No, I agree with you, Juan. One last question. I mean, 2024, that's so far away in political terms.
00:13:11.360
That's an eternity a couple of years from now. But November of this year, we'll be here before we
00:13:17.820
know it, the midterms. What's your gut feeling in terms of what's going on? It seems that there is
00:13:24.140
so much despair and disgust over how the Biden administration is running the United States right
00:13:31.560
now. You look at everything from gas prices, food prices, inflation, stagflation. It's a different
00:13:38.480
world under Biden than it was under Trump for so many reasons that we don't have time to get into.
00:13:43.180
What do you think is going to happen come November 1? Well, I think for November, it's just going to
00:13:49.800
be a red wave because a lot of these people are seeing that the Democrats and the Biden administration
00:13:55.720
is not having their back. They're essentially America last. And it's not just because of the
00:14:01.620
open border crisis that's going on. It's not because of just the rising gas prices and the failing
00:14:08.520
economy. Actually, the news or news is coming out that we're now in a recession and the Biden
00:14:14.420
administration is trying to hide that. And they're trying to make it they're trying to make it seem
00:14:18.620
like it's not a recession. So a lot of people, the main thing that's driving them to the Republican
00:14:24.080
Party is the economy right now. When someone doesn't have enough money to fill up their gas tank in
00:14:29.120
their car, they're going to see that. Yeah, no, 100 percent one. And I know what you're talking
00:14:34.460
about in terms of the Biden administration saying it's not a recession when the definition of a
00:14:39.480
recession is two negative quarters in a row, which has occurred. And there, I don't know,
00:14:44.540
they're trying to change the definition of a recession. But then again, this is an administration
00:14:51.000
that appointed a Supreme Court justice who was unable to define what a woman is. What a world.
00:14:57.640
Juan, thank you for that, for your time. It was a wonderful interview. I'm so glad Governor
00:15:02.600
DeSantis made time for you. And you have a great weekend, my friend. Thank you, David.
00:15:08.420
Thank you. And that was Juan Mendoza in Miami. Keep it here, folks. More of Rebel Roundup to come
00:15:18.560
You guys know Dave Chappelle is no stranger to attempted cancellations. There was the famous
00:15:23.580
Netflix walkout where they tried to stop his special from being aired. But now this week,
00:15:28.160
Dave Chappelle was officially canceled on extremely short notice by a Minneapolis
00:15:32.380
venue called First Avenue. And they gave a statement online about their reasoning. And we want to read
00:15:37.860
just a little bit for you right now. The First Avenue team and you have worked hard to make our
00:15:44.880
venues the safest spaces in the country. And we will continue with that mission, they say. We believe
00:15:49.940
in diverse voices and the freedom of artistic expression. But in honoring that, we lost sight of
00:15:55.500
the impact this would have. Strange words. And joining us now is a man who never mixes his words
00:16:00.740
is David Lucas, comedian touring all across the country. You can find him on podcasts and his own
00:16:10.120
Good. How are you? Always good to talk to you. What's your first reaction to this?
00:16:15.040
Last minute cancellation by a venue for probably the biggest comedian in the country.
00:16:22.500
No, it's not surprising at all, man. Like, what's going on right now started like 20 years ago
00:16:28.220
with that everybody gets a trophy mentality. You know what I'm saying? Like, I've always been
00:16:35.160
raised if you're not first, you're last. Like, there's no such thing as second and third place.
00:16:40.120
So, you know, parents being soft on kids and things like that is the product that we're seeing
00:16:46.460
now has definitely blossomed into these wonderful colored hair, silent majority people or whatever
00:16:54.100
they like to call themselves. They like to be so mystique. But the whole problem that I see with
00:16:59.940
this is that the people that are protesting him coming to perform at First Avenue don't even go to
00:17:07.920
comedy shows. Like, when you go to comedy shows, those are, you know, the real Americans, the ones
00:17:14.660
that know the difference between a joke and someone trying to, you know, insinuate violence
00:17:20.160
or cause violence or any type of ruckus. Like, no comedian ever says anything out of hatred
00:17:25.760
or spite. So them saying that he's transphobic lets me know that they didn't watch the special
00:17:31.560
and they don't listen to anything of his. I can't remember the lady's name, but he had
00:17:35.600
a trans friend who performed with him. I don't think it was any type of, you know,
00:17:41.240
virtue signaling or any type of gaslighting that he was doing. I just don't see, and I've, you know,
00:17:48.620
hung around Chappelle and been around him several times. I just don't see him as a transphobic person.
00:17:52.960
Now, in their statement, David, they, sorry, in their statement, they say diverse voices,
00:17:57.480
freedom of artistic expression, but also this is a safe space. How do you think that they square
00:18:02.320
the fact that they're supposed to allow artistic expression, but also, you know, keep it safe for
00:18:08.080
everybody. No one's allowed to be offended. Okay. So let me get this straight. The First Avenue
00:18:13.500
venue in Minneapolis says it believes in diverse voices, but apparently not too diverse, mind you,
00:18:22.740
lest that voice hurt the feelings of the trans Nutter community, because it's all about creating
00:18:29.900
a safe space, isn't it? A safe space. It's funny that the word safety now applies to words these days,
00:18:38.060
I mean, a safety issue at a comedy club. Wouldn't that be, oh, I don't know, a downed electrical
00:18:43.760
wire, not jokes that the lunatic fringe would consider offensive. Oh, and one last thing, if you
00:18:51.880
take offense to being offended, then steer clear of a comedy show, because in my experience,
00:18:59.700
the funniest jokes also tend to be the most offensive jokes. And joining me now is Rebel News,
00:19:07.020
funny man and Yacht Rock radio presenter, high energy, Andrew Chabitose. How you doing, Andrew?
00:19:13.600
I'm doing great, David. Thank you. And I'd like everybody to know that I was forced to wear a
00:19:17.560
suit jacket for this by David Menzies. Don't let him fool you. He runs a tight ship.
00:19:22.480
In any event, Andrew, here's what I don't get. The members of the transgender community and their
00:19:28.440
various allies, they are demanding to be accepted as equals. They want to be just like everybody else.
00:19:36.580
But then they say, wait a second, you can't make jokes about us. You know, you can't offend us.
00:19:43.820
You can't make us hurt or hurtful. Here's the deal. If you are going to be a full equal,
00:19:50.800
then you are fair game for a joke. You cannot be a sacred cow, but they seem to want it both ways.
00:19:59.660
What say you, my friend? David, I say that there aren't actually any inequalities that
00:20:05.160
this group of people are facing. The main argument these days that's going on is one to
00:20:10.860
have the ability for children to change genders or to have gender affirming care, as they call it,
00:20:17.120
which means transgender surgeries and, of course, hormones and all of that. And whilst that might
00:20:21.260
not be as easy to get done in some places in North America, it is easier to get done in other
00:20:27.360
places. And it comes at the cost of, this whole argument comes at the cost of people being committed
00:20:34.200
for crimes if they don't, you know, align with what their small child may say. There's a famous case
00:20:39.940
that Dre Humphrey covered in British Columbia, where a man was jailed for not adhering to his
00:20:45.200
daughter's pronouns, I believe it was. So to act as if this is some sort of human rights campaign or
00:20:52.140
some grave violation of somebody's rights by Dave Chappelle saying jokes that they don't like
00:20:57.120
is not even in the realm of what the argument is about because they're not actually missing any
00:21:01.600
rights. They're actually getting preferential treatment in many specific cases. So to try to
00:21:06.700
relate this as if they're, you know, former slave class or people who have been interned in some way,
00:21:13.840
that's what the comparison is attempted to be like. So that it's so sensitive that you can't
00:21:19.420
make any jokes. If we were in, you know, uh, the 1940s in Canada and, uh, Japanese people were being
00:21:25.420
interned, it would make a lot of sense that you shouldn't disparage them if you were found to be
00:21:30.220
at fault for that. And that's the type of comparison I feel like this community wants to make. Of course,
00:21:34.720
it's not all though. I'm sure it's probably a small minority, but they want people to believe that
00:21:38.260
they're so disparaged that even making jokes about them is what contributes to their high rate of
00:21:44.000
suicide or their high rate of, uh, of gender confusion. But Andrew, here's the deal. Why is
00:21:50.860
it? And I think this is the biggest question of all, why is this radical lunatic fringe? And, uh,
00:21:56.840
I mean, when you're talking about the radical transgender community, it's 0.0000 infinity,
00:22:03.040
1%. Why is it they're getting their way? Why is it that a venue, uh, because of, uh, a few cranks
00:22:11.460
outside cancels Dave Chappelle? Why does, you know, we talked about this, uh, earlier this month.
00:22:17.120
Why does, um, Bud Light put gender pronouns on their cans and celebration of pride month and not
00:22:24.280
even Labatt, which brews the stuff knows what they mean, but it seems that we are forever bending
00:22:30.240
the knee. We are forever acquiescing to, like I said, a, uh, lunatic fringe. Why?
00:22:36.820
Well, David, in this instance with the Avenue, I believe it was called, it was actually workers
00:22:40.780
refusing to come into work. So they said that, Oh, then you're fired. We're not exactly. They said
00:22:45.340
we're not going to come in and therefore there'd be no show anyways. Um, but of course you can't take
00:22:50.760
the blame off the venue either. Cause then they put out this letter that says, you know, we just want to
00:22:54.180
be a safe space for everybody. So my point is that these are people working at these companies that are
00:22:59.320
causing this. It's not from some vast outrage of the people. I don't feel like yes, there's
00:23:04.140
protesters at every one of these events, but they amassed to what Disney was able to get like 200
00:23:07.900
people. And that's a gigantic company working out of California and having work in public relations
00:23:14.180
for a few years, um, before my foray into news, David Menzies. Um, I can tell you that these are the
00:23:20.840
things that these type of people believe you have most often young women who work in these marketing and
00:23:25.780
public relations department and they don't want to be offensive. They don't want to hurt anyone's
00:23:30.160
feelings. They don't want to be mean to anybody. And they don't think that there's any repercussions.
00:23:34.600
They don't believe that there's any downside to just being inclusive. They don't, they don't look
00:23:38.400
at the bigger picture. And what that ends up being is, you know what, we should, you know, make sure
00:23:42.980
we're more inclusive, even though this counts for such a tiny fraction of our audience. And in most cases,
00:23:48.360
probably not the audience at all. If you're talking about somebody like Budweiser or something like
00:23:52.400
that a hundred percent in, you know, it's so saddening to me, Andrew, I think 80 plus years ago,
00:23:58.340
you had 15 year old boys lying about their age so that they could sign up and be a soldier and go off
00:24:06.060
to Europe and fight in world war II. Now on university campuses, if somebody misgenders you by accident,
00:24:13.100
you need grief counseling. Um, I just can't believe a couple of generations have gone by
00:24:18.940
where we've gone from that kind of heroism. Of course that was described, I think aptly. So
00:24:25.120
as the greatest generation to what we have today, um, people that in a different decade
00:24:32.480
wouldn't be celebrated, but might be incarcerated in a mental institution. I'm sorry. There's no other
00:24:39.240
way to say it. I mean, why is it that people are so afraid to speak the truth?
00:24:46.840
I think it comes from afraid of a, of being afraid of a job loss or some sort of social ramifications
00:24:52.620
where you can't get any sort of employment further down the line because what groups like this do,
00:24:58.200
and the same thing goes for a racial identitarian groups is they realized through some sort of
00:25:03.220
communist methodology that they can't just come out and be like, um, give us all this. They have
00:25:07.980
to find and seize power, which is what you see in so many municipalities, even around where we live
00:25:13.820
in Toronto and the greater Toronto area. It starts at a city council level where they get in and they
00:25:20.160
say, well, we need more equity and inclusion. And then they start off with events and then it goes,
00:25:24.500
well, we needed a full-time person in that position. And that person is not there to make
00:25:28.680
everything better. That person is there to institute their ideology. And then it goes further and further
00:25:33.520
up. As you can see in the Canadian government, we have this sort of thing, whether it's for climate
00:25:38.100
change or equity and inclusion until it filters down into all of these different institutions,
00:25:43.100
which are run by, or whether it's directly or by donors, people with these same ideologies.
00:25:49.100
And you could argue that it comes from other places to try to infect the populace with some
00:25:55.060
sort of ideology that will take it, uh, take down the country and its culture. That would be more so
00:25:59.860
like from a Chinese or a Russian point of view, where they just meddle in with a country to try to
00:26:04.740
cripple it from the inside. You see that with TikTok, for example. So I think that it comes
00:26:09.020
from all these different places, but at a root cause in North America, let's say it comes from
00:26:13.800
people wanting to get money and power so that they can change the system, which they say, see as evil
00:26:18.460
or racist. I think it's a little more than that, my friend. I think what we've seen in the last 50 or
00:26:23.580
60 years, perhaps is, um, basically an indoctrination process by those who subscribe to Marxism.
00:26:32.580
And by that, I mean, whether it's education, whether, uh, law enforcement, the courts, the
00:26:38.540
politicians, universities, you name it. And basically a major tenant of Marxism is you tear
00:26:46.600
everything down and rebuild it as the Marxist utopia, which of course is unachievable looking
00:26:52.540
what, uh, uh, has occurred in history when it comes to communist States. So I think that's a big
00:26:58.440
part of the problem, but I want to go back, you know, to the fact that, um, your guest, uh,
00:27:04.520
David Lucas, David Lucas. Thank you. He mentioned that those demonstrators outside that venue,
00:27:10.480
they weren't going to buy tickets to see Dave Chappelle, Lincoln Jay and I last year,
00:27:15.360
we went to the Dave Chappelle concert at Scotiabank arena, absolutely SRO sold right out standing room
00:27:22.660
only. And, uh, so again, there was no reason, uh, I mean, Scotia, uh, Scotiabank or not Scotiabank,
00:27:30.880
sorry, uh, Maple Leaf sports and entertainment did the right thing. I thought by sticking to their guns
00:27:36.000
because we're under so much pressure and they said, no, the show will go on. Well, you know what?
00:27:40.220
The show did go on. And did that hurt MLSE in any way? No, of course not. So there's the template,
00:27:46.740
whether it's the concert in Toronto, whether it's Netflix saying, no, uh, all you, uh, uh, cranks out
00:27:53.960
there, you know, we are going to televise this, uh, comedy show. We have evidence that when you do
00:28:02.080
not bend the knee and you take a firm stance, it's a winning strategy. For sure. And what they're
00:28:08.440
trying to do is create the topple effect. Same thing. If you want to go with, um, how Alex Jones was
00:28:13.720
canceled, for example, you get one company, then another, and they all follow suit. But you're
00:28:18.100
right. All it takes is one large company to show that people actually want to see these things.
00:28:22.420
And the point David Lucas was making is that the fundamental misunderstanding of what content is
00:28:28.940
in Dave Chappelle's standup specials or in his actual, um, in-person standup is not the same as
00:28:34.820
what they're portraying. So they clearly haven't watched it or they've watched some sort of, you know,
00:28:40.040
synopsis or read a summary of it. And it's coming through a filter, which has a heavy bias. And that
00:28:45.800
is to say that they want Dave Chappelle canceled because he dares to make fun of people, which they
00:28:51.220
of course equate to violence. And why do they do that? So that they can get money, power, and position.
00:28:57.140
A hundred percent. Well, it was a great interview. Uh, great feedback there, Andrew. And you know,
00:29:02.120
folks, I mentioned that, uh, visit, uh, last year, Lincoln Jay and I had to the Scotiabank
00:29:08.200
arena. We were doing streeters and what was uncanny was the fact that, um, so many people did not want
00:29:16.440
to talk to us and they'd come up off camera and they'd say, listen, we love Dave Chappelle. We love
00:29:23.540
rebel news. They knew who we were, but the thing is, Dave, I run a business. And if I'm seen on camera
00:29:30.840
in support of this guy, the cancel culture mob might come after me and might put me out of business.
00:29:37.700
And I ask you folks, is that really the kind of society you want to live in where people are scared
00:29:44.740
to death to utter their opinion because this mob of cranks is going to actually give them an economic
00:29:52.220
death sentence? Uh, it is despicable. So once again, let us all take a firm stance against this insanity.
00:29:58.960
We'll be better off for it. Keep it here. More of rebel roundup to come right after this.
00:30:07.120
David Menzies for rebel news here in Vaughn, Ontario. And we're at the Vaughn mills shopping mall.
00:30:14.400
And just look at this turnout. Literally as far as the eye can see cars festooned with Canadian flags,
00:30:22.920
with the flags of the Netherlands, the infamous F Trudeau flags, of course. Yes. These
00:30:28.640
people are here in solidarity of the Dutch farmers. Now, as you may know, we recently dispatched
00:30:36.160
Louis Brackpool and Lincoln Jay to the Netherlands to cover the Dutch farmer protest because you weren't
00:30:42.540
going to hear the real story from mainstream media. And the real story is simply that under President
00:30:48.980
Mark Rutt, well, he's declared war on nitrogen in the name of climate change. The only problem is,
00:30:56.780
is nitrogen is an element that farmers need to grow their crops. And needless to say, the clawback will
00:31:05.020
result in many Dutch farms, many of them multi-generational, going out of business. And really, for what?
00:31:14.300
Virtue signaling. And if you think that's just a faraway issue in a faraway country, well, not really.
00:31:21.000
The Justin Trudeau Liberals have proposed a clawback of the amount of fertilizer that Canadian farmers can use.
00:31:30.260
It's going to mean lower yields for the crops, lower profits for the farmers, higher prices for consumers.
00:31:37.020
And of course, many farms here going out of business as well. And what's worthy to note, folks, is that this
00:31:45.360
recommendation didn't come from Agriculture Canada. No, it came from the Ministry of the Environment and Climate
00:31:53.460
Change. Yeah, it's all about getting Canada zero emissions by 2030. It's an impossible dream. And so that means really,
00:32:07.380
Canadians know the national anthem. They stand in silence to remember those who died for this country.
00:32:14.200
But not every Canadian knows their rights and freedoms. The Freedom Passport will change that.
00:32:20.200
It looks and feels like a Canadian passport, but contains the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
00:32:26.240
in a portable, easy-to-read format. The Freedom Passport. Order one for yourself and for all the
00:32:33.520
freedom lovers that you love at freedompassport.ca.
00:32:37.860
People have a lot to say here. Let's see what they think of what's happening in the Netherlands
00:32:43.520
and what could happen in Canada in the near future.
00:32:47.400
We right now have the Trudeau Liberals proposing a plan to reduce fertilizer for our own farmers. It means
00:33:07.060
lower yields, less profit, higher prices for me and you, likely more farms going out of business.
00:33:15.280
Well, you see the game plan playing out all across the world in every country around the world.
00:33:19.980
So people really have to ask themselves, do you really think it's a coincidence that this is happening
00:33:24.680
in every country across the world? It's an orchestrated effort to bring down Western society
00:33:30.960
and people just have to awaken to it. They don't need to be, you don't need to be a rocket scientist
00:33:35.620
to figure this out. You just have to open your eyes and look at the information that's available.
00:33:39.860
We know exactly what the plan that Trudeau has for us, which is the same plan that Mark Root has for the Netherlands,
00:33:48.800
for the Dutch farmers. They want to remove all their farmland or 50%, start off with 50% there.
00:33:54.900
Trudeau's starting off with 30% here. No one's talking about all the farmland that's being bought up by China
00:34:01.240
and by Bill Gates. No one's talking about this.
00:34:06.560
First of all, they're doing away with their nitrogen for the Dutch farmers, right, which is not good for them.
00:34:12.240
That's why they're uprising. The same is going to happen here. Trudeau's going to do the same here in Canada.
00:34:17.140
And then the farmers are going to upraise here too. In fact, all the people are going to upraise.
00:34:21.280
Just in support of the farmers and everything that's going on around the world,
00:34:25.960
losing our rights and our freedoms, first with the truckers and now the farmers,
00:34:31.180
we've got to unite. We've got to stand together. Enough is enough. And that's why we're here.
00:34:36.620
Well, that was the scene last Saturday in Vaughan as well over a thousand demonstrators took to the parking lot
00:34:42.980
of the Vaughan Mills Shopping Centre to show their solidarity for the Dutch farmers and Canadian farmers,
00:34:50.200
for that matter, as those insane anti-farm policies. They're headed to our great dominion as well
00:34:58.100
if the Justin Trudeau Liberals get their way. In any event, you had plenty to say about these Canadian patriots
00:35:05.100
standing up for the farmers of the Netherlands.
00:35:12.540
We need truckers and farmers. We do not need politicians and bureaucrats, period.
00:35:18.300
Or how about this, Nancy? We could sure use smart politicians and hardworking bureaucrats
00:35:24.360
who actually care about Canadians and this country, as opposed to backing virtue-signalling policies
00:35:32.740
that only make our lives increasingly miserable for us.
00:35:40.500
Truckers and farmers are the backbone to our survival. When I talk to someone who laughs
00:35:50.300
Well, Token Roach, I can tell you this, in politics, no matter what the issue is,
00:35:55.600
when a government declares war on the farmers, they always, always lose, big time.
00:36:04.580
Support to all real, everyday farmers, not one inch for Gates.
00:36:09.620
Well, Daskerman, I assume you are referring to Mr. Bill Gates.
00:36:14.500
And get this, Gates is currently the biggest owner of farmland in the United States.
00:36:21.840
So, while he's part of that elitist club advocating that we should be eating bugs,
00:36:28.420
it looks like Gates and company prefer that their meat and veggies come from green acres.
00:36:35.320
There's no way the likes of Klaus Schwab will be chomping into a mealworm sandwich in the near future,
00:36:47.540
Well, Steve, first of all, thank you so much for your kind words.
00:37:11.720
But this is truly distressing that you encountered so many people who were absolutely clueless about this particular issue.
00:37:21.360
This is a big pet peeve of mine, namely the low-educated voter.
00:37:27.480
It's that person who, you know, doesn't want to get involved in political stuff,
00:37:36.260
But, you know, talk to these people about, oh, Kim Kardashian's latest swimsuit,
00:37:58.920
The media watchdogs have devolved into the government's lapdogs.
00:38:05.400
And with good reason, it is the Trudeau liberals that are increasingly subsidizing the media these days.
00:38:12.880
And by the way, where, oh, where was the CBC and CTV and Global, etc., etc.,
00:38:20.820
when the Vaughn-Mills protests took place last Saturday?
00:38:26.800
They were too busy writing stories pertaining to the joy of eating insects.
00:38:32.320
Well, that wraps up another edition of Rebel Roundup.
00:38:38.020
And hey, folks, never forget, without risk, there can be no glory.
