Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you,
00:01:32.500
in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favorite Rebels.
00:01:44.080
When it comes to Justin Trudeau's jet-setting ways.
00:01:51.300
And yet again, another example of Justin's leadership motto being,
00:01:58.200
Just will you hear what Sheila Gunn-Reed has to say about this egregious cover-up.
00:02:03.880
Remember how frontline workers like firefighters used to be lauded as heroes?
00:02:10.280
Well, that was a couple of months ago before the mandatory vaccine passports.
00:02:15.280
Now these heroes are zeros if they don't reveal their vax status or refuse to take the jabs.
00:02:22.520
Lincoln Jay will join me to chronicle a Toronto firefighter who is now suspended without pay
00:02:36.660
And you had plenty to say regarding my report on Dave Chappelle coming to Toronto's Scotiabank Arena
00:02:47.500
The lunatic fringe of Toronto's transgender community had an online temper tantrum.
00:02:53.480
And of course, Pride Toronto condemned Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment for providing the venue.
00:02:58.860
But these social justice spirit unicorns failed to cancel the comedian.
00:03:17.800
Now normally I don't care about the government using the government jets to get around when they must.
00:03:29.740
But these are the same people who tell me that we're in some sort of climate change emergency
00:03:34.160
and so we should all become unemployed in the oil patch.
00:03:37.000
And I don't understand why the liberals and their public sector bureaucrat enablers insist on being totally wrong
00:03:42.780
or totally inept or purposefully misleading so shamelessly about the use of the jets
00:03:49.920
Because we keep catching them in this nonsense with their own paperwork.
00:03:55.200
Now the other day I showed you documents where the Department of National Defense told us
00:04:01.740
there were no Challenger jet records for December 2020 when we filed for access to them.
00:04:09.740
But then, four months later, the Department of National Defense told the House of Commons
00:04:17.880
They said the Minister of National Defense had used the Challenger himself on December 18, 2020.
00:04:26.040
Now, you see, they could probably mislead access filers like us and get away with it.
00:04:34.920
Well, these half-truth tellers in the D&D are back at it once again misleading us about the use of the Challenger.
00:04:43.220
We filed for the July 2021 Challenger flight records.
00:04:47.420
And yet, the Department of National Defense told us there just weren't any flight records.
00:04:54.340
I guess Trudeau and the gang were, you know, staying home to stay safe.
00:04:59.980
Do you know why we filed for those exact flight records?
00:05:04.420
Because the Prime Minister's travel was widely reported in the mainstream media.
00:05:15.920
Here's a video of Trudeau in Saskatchewan on July 6th.
00:05:20.520
Trudeau is speaking at the Cowess Nest First Nation.
00:05:23.620
Later today, I'll be visiting the site of unmarked graves to pay my respects
00:05:27.880
and sitting down with many of you to hear your stories as survivors.
00:05:32.680
And then, here's Trudeau meeting with Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi,
00:05:36.720
re-announcing and, of course, naturally taking credit for funding promised years ago
00:05:41.560
by Stephen Harper for a public transit initiative.
00:05:46.060
So, we sent the DND Trudeau's itinerary on July 6th.
00:05:51.140
And 7th, on July 6th, we know Trudeau was at the Museum of History in Gatineau, Quebec.
00:05:55.820
And then he flew to Saskatchewan and met with Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe at the Cowess Nest First Nation
00:06:08.760
And, frankly, he did an unusual amount of what we might loosely call work.
00:06:16.760
Then he was at a small business later on in the morning.
00:06:22.120
And then he met, as we already showed you, outgoing Mayor Naheed Nenshi.
00:06:26.500
There were media at all of these things reporting it all
00:06:32.080
They just follow Justin Trudeau around like puppies.
00:06:34.940
And yet, the weird misleaders in the DND bureaucracy
00:06:38.720
thought they could, I guess, get away with denying those records exist
00:06:51.340
Do they think the public shouldn't know these things?
00:07:02.080
Now, the response by the DND to our fact check of them
00:07:09.560
Oh, it must be some sort of administrative error.
00:07:13.660
I guess, if that's what we call a pattern of not telling the whole truth,
00:07:20.300
Would they call a paperwork problem, an administrative oopsie-daisy?
00:07:30.780
So, as you know, I could be experiencing this stuff differently,
00:07:34.940
as Justin Trudeau might put it, to excuse away general bad behavior.
00:07:44.020
And in the case of the polyester slacks Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is wearing these days,
00:07:53.020
As for his lackeys in the bureaucracy, oh, ho-hum, another day, another administrative error.
00:08:02.600
Say, why do so many of these bumbling bureaucrats still have jobs to begin with?
00:08:09.840
The ones who are still gainfully employed in Ottawa are double-vaxxed, and they have a pulse.
00:08:16.880
That seems to be the benchmark for a federal government bureaucrat these days.
00:08:21.740
And joining me now for more on a story that is downright infuriating is our chief reporter,
00:08:38.700
When we are constantly lied to, that destroys, I think, the, you know, credibility of this
00:08:47.560
Then again, given the number of scandals that can be attributed to this government over
00:08:53.820
the past six years, does anyone who is part of Team Trudeau even care about credibility
00:09:05.920
No, of course these people don't care about credibility.
00:09:11.060
I mean, every time I get a piece of paper back from this government, it smells like a
00:09:19.700
And sometimes I don't know who I'm being lied to right at that moment.
00:09:25.160
But sometimes I know I'm filing for records on a flight that you guys reported in the media.
00:09:36.120
They just say, oh, there's nothing, or oh, sorry, even though we said there's nothing,
00:09:44.000
I guess there is something because you just sent me the CBC article in the prime minister's
00:09:48.060
itinerary of the day saying that he did have a flight.
00:09:52.780
And then they just say it's an administrative error, which is an interesting way of saying
00:10:01.140
It's pure speculation, but I wonder how deep the rod is.
00:10:04.680
And by that, I mean, do you think Justin Trudeau tells the bureaucrats, by the way, if non-paid
00:10:10.480
off media phone about certain sensitive travel documents don't tell them the truth, or is
00:10:17.500
the bureaucracy so conditioned now to, you know, cover for this lying liar that they just
00:10:24.220
take it upon themselves to be difficult with the information that we are entitled to get
00:10:35.760
There are some people who, they've got orders from somebody to tell them, do not give out this
00:10:44.960
information to this group, but there are some other that are others that are just well-trained
00:10:52.300
and they see tone and tenor of this administration and they see how Justin Trudeau lies and lies
00:10:59.200
and not just gets away with it, gets reelected.
00:11:03.060
And so they know that this is the tone by which they can conduct business in the federal government
00:11:11.140
In the third part of this video series about the Challenger manifest, we discovered where
00:11:18.780
the Barbados flight actually went over Christmas last year.
00:11:26.000
But they just decided we're going to lie anyway.
00:11:29.720
And we have it in writing where they say, if someone files for ATI, access to information,
00:11:36.560
we are going to say there's nothing significant to report.
00:11:44.360
If I ask you a question, you give me the information and I'll decide if the information you're giving
00:11:52.440
But when they lie and hide information from people, it creates conspiracy theories because
00:12:01.820
Because all the government does is lie to you these days.
00:12:04.420
And you know, Sheila, I think back to last December, our Ottawa friend Guy Annabelle reached
00:12:16.840
And yeah, and I mean, what he alleged, it's now all come true, hasn't it?
00:12:29.000
But if they had just told everybody, it's not the Prime Minister, this is what we were
00:12:40.860
And they actively joked in their communications about, oh, the conspiracy theorists are going
00:12:49.800
Because they're filling in the blanks because you guys are a bunch of liars.
00:13:00.920
It's like they get off on withholding information and being weirdos.
00:13:06.420
It almost sounds like they're playing games or at least they're taking mirth and merriment
00:13:13.660
And in terms of what you just said, Sheila, that they were joking about all the conspiracy
00:13:22.540
And I think that's shameful because I don't know if these people realize it, but you, I
00:13:27.100
and 38 million other Canadians are paying their salaries with our tax dollars.
00:13:31.520
They don't have a right to act like this, Sheila.
00:13:34.000
No, and that was the point that I made in my video that has yet to come out, is that
00:13:39.880
just tell the truth, because not only are we entitled to this information, but would
00:13:45.540
it kill you to show a little respect for the people who pay salaries, bureaucrats?
00:13:51.920
Don't mock them because they're filling in the blanks because you guys are a bunch of
00:13:56.980
And usually, usually when I'm dealing with the federal government, because it's pretty
00:14:00.900
easy, they're the federal government, I assume ineptitude, right?
00:14:05.340
I assume that they're just don't know what they're doing, so they don't know how to give
00:14:09.820
But when I see them plotting back and forth in text messages to lie to people, it's not
00:14:19.840
But that attitude comes right down from the top.
00:14:29.560
I don't think there's anyone better in Canada than you going through these voluminous
00:14:38.160
But then again, you come across nuggets that reveal the mindset of some of these people in
00:14:44.820
I know what I remember, Sheila, remember that ridiculous multi-million dollar ice rink they
00:14:49.140
built for Canada's sesquicentennial on Parliament Hill?
00:14:52.500
And we went through those documents and there was some bureaucrat looking over the plans of
00:14:57.860
the rink and noticed there wasn't mesh around the end parts of the arena.
00:15:02.340
And he brought up the true story, the tragic true story of a 15-year-old girl that was killed
00:15:08.020
at a Columbus Blue Jackets game because a deflected puck hit her in the head.
00:15:12.280
But what the phrase he used was, imagine if we don't put that mesh and that happens again on
00:15:23.940
Not think about the 15-year-old girl that died, but think about the bad publicity for
00:15:34.580
And then I think that rink cost like $6 million and it was only for like a handful of days.
00:15:41.860
And you couldn't play shinny, you couldn't play a little pickup hockey.
00:15:52.920
It wasn't like there was Brett Hall out there whipping off slap shots.
00:16:00.620
Once upon a time, and I don't mean going back to the Diefenbaker days, I mean going back
00:16:05.620
some 15 years ago to the Stephen Harper days, these kind of scandals would be front page,
00:16:15.580
But with this stuff, and it's constant, it's almost a daily occurrence of scandal.
00:16:20.340
Nothing to see here, folks, says the media party.
00:16:24.240
Well, with Bev Oda, the sort of outrage about what he did, it came from the liberal media.
00:16:35.380
But what finally did Bev in was conservatives who said, Bev, come on, we don't do this.
00:16:44.640
The liberals don't have that sort of political hygiene on their side.
00:16:47.700
They will blindly follow the leader, excuse anything, three times blackface, maybe more,
00:16:53.080
lying bureaucrats, bureaucrats notting the lie on paper, we scandal, lab scandal, everything.
00:17:03.740
The folly of conservatives is, I suppose, their own high standards for who they allow to lead
00:17:13.780
And it's what allows liberals to win and win and win.
00:17:18.420
Sheila, great analysis and great report, as always, my friend.
00:17:27.200
And that was Sheila Gunn-Reed somewhere in the northern hinterland of Alberta.
00:17:33.300
More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
00:17:43.200
Now, for the past 20 months, frontline workers have been declared heroes for their continuous
00:17:51.140
Those same heroes are now being put out of work for simply refusing to take the COVID-19
00:17:57.840
I had the chance to speak with one of those frontline workers, Andrew Mason, a Toronto
00:18:01.880
firefighter who has been placed on suspension without pay for not disclosing his vaccination
00:18:08.240
Andrew has a family to provide for and bills to pay.
00:18:11.560
He has worked without second thought through the entire pandemic and is now being left
00:18:23.520
Went to high school on a Western technical and commercial school.
00:18:26.280
From that point on, I just got into the working field after I graduated from high school.
00:18:33.820
I had a friend of mine that introduced me to firefighting through the newspaper.
00:18:43.800
I went out to the seminar, got into it, spoke to a few guys.
00:18:48.040
They got me really interested because it was more like a brotherhood.
00:18:51.180
So, I was really interested in getting someone like that where you could feel like a close
00:18:56.500
And it gets you motivated, helping people and being close to the guys that you're working
00:19:05.740
I've been active duty firefighter for five years, going on six.
00:19:09.460
With the mandatory vaccine requirements in place for Toronto Fire Services, where does
00:19:15.300
Well, it leaves me basically hopeless because I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing to
00:19:19.040
take care of my family, to do whatever I need to do to ensure that the future is secure.
00:19:24.300
As it stands right now, I'm currently suspended without pay.
00:19:32.720
It's leaving me in uncertainty because we have no idea what's really going on between
00:19:35.420
the negotiation, between the council and the union.
00:19:43.100
There's nothing really updating us of what's really going on.
00:19:46.340
From the bit of information that I did have, is that city council is being very hard in terms
00:19:52.040
of making any kind of compromises towards us or having any kind of sympathy for us to be
00:19:57.620
able to exercise our freedoms in not disclosing our vaccination status or whatever the case
00:20:06.760
So with that information that we do have and what we don't, it's just very, very depressing.
00:20:13.560
What were your interactions like with your superiors, your colleagues on your final days of work
00:20:20.220
Well, my superiors, like with my captains and such, that we have constant interaction with, they were fantastic.
00:20:31.700
And they basically supported me to make whatever decision that I needed to make, whatever I thought was right.
00:20:39.600
The guys were looking out for me, so they were just like, you know, do what's best for your family.
00:20:43.980
If you can, go ahead and do it, just so you know that you're safe and secure.
00:20:50.420
It wasn't like they were talking down to me or trying to force me to get it or looking at my side or any kind of way that was negative.
00:20:58.740
It's just that you could see it that they were just looking out for me.
00:21:03.120
So even though the decision that I've made, which is very tough, they've still been giving me phone calls, texts,
00:21:08.240
and just saying that we support the decision, wish you all the best, and if you need any help, that will be there for you.
00:21:13.220
So I really appreciate my guys and my guys around the city, not the ones that I work with immediately,
00:21:18.620
but the guys around the city that's been calling and showing support as well.
00:21:21.940
There's a lot of people that would say, why don't you just get the jab?
00:21:25.700
Is it really worth it for you to lose your job?
00:21:32.800
Why is it important for you to stay true to your beliefs?
00:21:36.600
Because I believe the last point of domain that any man has is the physical being, right?
00:21:42.860
If anything that passes beyond that, then you have no control.
00:21:49.460
You have no control of what goes inside your body.
00:21:56.500
Just two months ago, during the 20th anniversary of 9-11,
00:22:00.960
our elected officials the world over were justifiably lauding first responders.
00:22:06.480
You know, firefighters and police officers and paramedics.
00:22:09.660
The type of people who are running into the Twin Towers as citizens were running out of those skyscrapers.
00:22:17.520
And many of those first responders paid the ultimate price.
00:22:21.520
And yet, just mere weeks after those glowing tributes to our emergency services personnel,
00:22:28.720
these very same officials who lauded firefighters and police and paramedics
00:22:33.400
are now telling them to either get the jab or lose their job.
00:22:42.440
And joining me now with more on this story is our ace photojournalist, Lincoln Jay.
00:22:47.720
Lincoln, whatever the hell happened to, you know, reasonable accommodation
00:22:53.480
when it comes to a frontline hero such as Andrew Mason?
00:22:58.240
It just seems like there's no options for them.
00:23:11.480
You know, for years we've been given the talking points from the left,
00:23:19.920
If there are a few percentage points of firefighters not getting vaccinated
00:23:28.160
what is really the tangible danger to members of that department?
00:23:36.260
I just think that the powers that be just want this vaccine pushed at all costs.
00:23:42.740
And they're putting in these restrictions, these mandates, all across the board,
00:23:50.420
It just seems like they're doing anything they can to push these and coercing people to coercing workers with vaccine mandates,
00:23:59.080
saying that you have to get the jab or you're out of a job.
00:24:04.740
And it's a way that they think they're going to get more people vaccinated.
00:24:08.100
Yeah. And, you know, when it comes to, say, a firefighter versus an office worker, Lincoln,
00:24:16.380
These people, I'm not saying this happens every day, every shift on the job,
00:24:20.540
but there are those times where there's the proverbial five alarm fire.
00:24:31.040
They could literally put their lives on the line, as so many did in 9-11 on that dark day.
00:24:38.260
What I'm getting at is they're already accepting a high degree of danger on the job,
00:24:47.300
How is it a virus with a recovery rate of 99.7% is considered an even bigger danger than, say,
00:25:02.060
They were frontline heroes, right, for the past, I believe it's 20 months now,
00:25:12.760
And he worked, Andrew worked, without a problem, you know, the entire pandemic,
00:25:19.620
up until he was suspended without pay recently, you know, no questions asked,
00:25:24.700
went to work, just like every other frontline worker.
00:25:27.100
And now those same frontline workers are out of work.
00:25:33.300
And Andrew's just one example of the many Canadians that are dealing with this.
00:25:41.500
I kind of, you know, perversely laugh at that phrase, suspended without pay.
00:25:50.220
And it's, I guess they're, this is a step towards termination,
00:25:55.280
because they basically are suspended without pay,
00:25:59.620
giving them a little bit more time to potentially get the vaccine.
00:26:03.880
I think that's what the, that's the idea behind it.
00:26:10.000
So they're kind of in the penalty box now, to use a hockey analogy.
00:26:13.540
You're going to serve your 10-minute misconduct.
00:26:16.200
But if you don't reform your ways, you're suspended from the league, i.e. fired outright.
00:26:23.500
What is Mr. Mason's union doing for him, Lincoln?
00:26:32.160
It just seems that, as he mentioned in my report, that they're just not budging, right, in any way.
00:26:40.020
So there's a lot of turmoil with communication.
00:26:44.060
And he's basically just, he's kind of just left in the dark.
00:26:48.600
We have seen in so many cases, whether it's firefighters, law enforcement, rail workers,
00:26:54.000
flight attendants at Air Canada, Unifor employees, you know, the auto assembly plants.
00:27:04.660
Why is it that the unions are so much on the bandwagon of mandatory jabs in the first place?
00:27:12.900
This whole vaccine craze is just, I don't know.
00:27:19.620
It's just, everybody has just kind of completely changed, you know.
00:27:23.820
And everything and everyone and every business, it seems like not every business,
00:27:32.020
And basically, I feel like a lot of these companies and unions, et cetera,
00:27:37.080
if they don't go with the majority, they feel like they're, I don't know,
00:27:41.540
they just don't want to take that risk of separating themselves from the crowd.
00:27:44.940
You know, I'm baffled because they've never been, you know,
00:27:50.120
reserved or reluctant to take a hard line against management when it comes to higher wages,
00:28:01.140
And by the way, Lincoln, the reason why I'm so focused on the unionization factor
00:28:09.220
when you are part of that collective bargaining agreement,
00:28:12.280
you give up so many of the labor rights so that if you were to do some kind of wrongful dismissal
00:28:18.080
claim, in many instances, it's just not going to fly because you are unionized.
00:28:23.280
So the guy you expect to go to bat for you, he's hanging out to dry.
00:28:31.580
but the whole push with everything with COVID and with the vaccines is that if you're getting the vaccine,
00:28:36.940
you're doing your part, you're keeping others safe.
00:28:39.620
And people really have kind of bought into that, like a love spell.
00:28:43.140
And they all believe that they're doing the right thing with these mandates.
00:28:50.160
People, they honestly, they're either doing it because they feel coerced to,
00:28:58.820
And it confuses me too, because they were the frontline heroes before there were such a thing as a COVID vaccine.
00:29:05.960
Now in this day and age of Pfizer, Johnson and Johnson and the rest,
00:29:09.720
you are a frontline zero unless you get this experimental vaccine put into your arm.
00:29:16.980
I just wonder, last question, how many Andrew Masons do we have?
00:29:20.660
I know I interviewed another Ontario firefighter.
00:29:24.000
He was dismissed from his job simply for making a video about his decision to not to reveal his vac status at the fire hall.
00:29:33.520
That was good enough for his, you know, department to throw him under the hook and ladder, if you will.
00:29:40.060
I'm just wondering how many of these people there are, Lincoln,
00:29:43.680
because if there's a critical mass being fired, then isn't that a safety issue?
00:29:50.700
I mean, aren't fire departments going to be short-staffed?
00:29:53.920
These are well-trained, experienced firefighters.
00:29:57.040
You just can't go to the local manpower outlet and ask for a temporary worker to fill that role.
00:30:03.320
So could this result in, you know, a fire not being attended to in the future the way it should be,
00:30:09.580
because there's a shortage of qualified firefighters?
00:30:13.260
I can't comment on that exactly from the conversations that me and Andrew had, or that Andrew and I had off camera.
00:30:21.320
It seems like, it honestly seems like, there was no exact numbers or anything,
00:30:26.800
but it seems like when it came down to it, there was a lot of people against it,
00:30:31.800
a lot of people in the fire department, in his department, that were against it.
00:30:36.520
They were against the coercion, against the mandatory vaccination.
00:30:47.060
So I don't know exactly how many people, how many situations,
00:30:51.440
but I think a lot of people do give in to the coercion, unfortunately.
00:30:55.140
And I do get that part, Lincoln, of giving in to the coercion,
00:30:58.760
not in terms of bending the knee just because someone is bullying you,
00:31:03.880
but at the end of the day, you've got to put groceries on the table,
00:31:06.860
you've got to pay the mortgage, and people are facing financial ruin.
00:31:14.340
And for all you elected officials who just, back in September 11th of this year,
00:31:19.440
lauding these emergency personnel as the frontline heroes,
00:31:23.500
those who are prepared to give the ultimate sacrifice,
00:31:37.960
And you should give them their jobs back along with an apology.
00:31:42.940
More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
00:32:07.060
I think if there's anything worse than censorship, it's self-censorship.
00:32:12.940
And at the end of the day, you can't make every single person happy.
00:32:18.900
there's always been someone that's, like, upset about it.
00:32:27.180
Like, do you want me living on the street, homeless, having no way to make money?
00:32:34.440
Like, is that what you want from people that disagree with you?
00:32:38.600
What Dave's trying to do is he's talking about it because there's a conversation to be had.
00:32:43.480
And if people are getting mad, then that means there's a conversation.
00:32:45.780
He invites the controversy, but he doesn't think there's a need to be canceled for it.
00:32:56.880
Folks, if you think I'm exaggerating about how the COVID protocols in terms of the vaccine passports
00:33:08.960
There are hundreds of people inside Scotiabank Arena waiting to get out.
00:33:13.420
There are actually a couple of thousand outside.
00:33:22.880
And he's made observations, jokes that has offended some in the radical transgender community.
00:33:39.640
Oh, so Dave Chappelle screwed up big time by making...
00:34:02.160
Did you see anything remotely offensive in that last show?
00:34:08.080
And even if comedy is offensive, does anyone really have a right not to be offended?
00:34:13.520
Well, he's speaking of his own personal experience in a comedy format.
00:34:23.600
Well, folks, as you can see, as the night gets later, still so many hundreds of people waiting to get in.
00:34:37.060
That's the new reality when it comes to the Vax Pass.
00:34:42.020
One is, we were going around prior to people getting in line to get into the Dave Chappelle show.
00:34:49.580
You would think that Dave Chappelle fans would be full of bluster when it comes to taking a stand against the cancel culture mobsters.
00:34:58.680
But no, so many people said to me, listen, we love Chappelle, we love Rebel News, but I can't come on camera because I run a business and I don't want to be segregated.
00:35:10.740
I don't want to be pointed out by the cancel culture mob and have my livelihood destroyed.
00:35:19.720
And although we didn't encounter any protesters as part of the spirit unicorn community, Pride Toronto issued a release condemning the Dave Chappelle show here in Toronto.
00:35:36.860
It's perversely ironic to me that the LGBT community for decades has asked for more acceptance, more tolerance.
00:35:47.320
And yet when you have Mr. Chappelle make jokes or makes even observations about certain members of that community, there is no tolerance.
00:36:02.840
I guess when it comes to the alphabet soup community or at least the radical elements of it, acceptance and tolerance in 2021 is a one-way street.
00:36:15.800
Well, Dave Chappelle dropped by Hogtown on Monday.
00:36:19.020
And of course, the radical trans community had their knickers in a knot because Mr. Chappelle is allegedly transphobic.
00:36:27.320
Translation, Dave made some witty observations about this uber-sensitive community in his Netflix comedy special, The Closer.
00:36:36.420
And evidently, that's offside because, well, because radical trans people are special.
00:36:46.720
And even though Pride Toronto condemned Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment for giving Chappelle a stage, the show, thank God, went on as planned.
00:36:57.860
In any event, you had plenty to say about Dave Chappelle versus the transgendered cancel culture mobsters.
00:37:07.700
Dave is the funniest bloke I have ever watched.
00:37:16.380
Indeed, Jason, in The Closer, Netflix show that caused the controversy, Dave not only targets the trans community, but he makes jokes about Jews, about white men and black women.
00:37:29.100
He's pretty much an equal opportunity offender.
00:37:32.120
But why does it seem that in this day and age that only certain groups must be considered sacred cows when it comes to comedy?
00:37:42.240
What happened to equality when it comes to the humorphile?
00:37:50.060
It's like the left is getting stronger and weirder.
00:37:53.400
Well, for sure, the left is getting weirder, weirder by the hour.
00:38:00.980
And check out those U.S. election results earlier this month when so many sure thing Democrats got their arses handed to them.
00:38:08.860
People are waking up and be it critical race theory or the perverse agenda espoused by those in the radical transgender community.
00:38:17.980
Patriotic citizens are demonstrating that they are getting weary of this ideological crap.
00:38:25.080
By the way, can't wait to see the results of the U.S. midterm elections next year.
00:38:33.900
Too many oversensitive, fragile buttercups out there.
00:38:42.260
The problem isn't the rank and file of Buttercup Nation.
00:38:45.740
No, the problem is those people in charge who are bending the knee to these buttercups and spirit unicorns and gender benders and what have you.
00:38:56.300
These creeps shouldn't be calling the shots when it comes to what is and what is not permissible in the public square.
00:39:04.120
Rather, many of them should just be residing in an asylum.
00:39:13.140
By trying to cancel him, they just advertised him for free.
00:39:17.440
Indeed, sir, I believe this phenomenon is known as the Barbra Streisand effect.
00:39:22.800
And sometimes you just gotta love the law of unintended consequences.
00:39:40.040
Hey, that's even better than let's go, Brandon.
00:39:43.440
Let's hope that gets on a bumper sticker sometime soon.
00:39:56.320
Two years ago, it was beloved Canadian icon Don Cherry that got cancelled.
00:40:00.980
Earlier, it was Las Vegas Raiders coach John Gruden
00:40:10.500
has its sights set on primo comedian Dave Chappelle.
00:40:14.080
How long will it be before maybe you are cancelled
00:40:19.680
for something you wrote or something you've said?
00:40:23.400
Maybe when you have some skin in the game, Ryan,
00:40:40.260
Indeed, talk about the tyranny of the minority.
00:40:43.880
And, you know, as I watched The Closer earlier this month, folks,
00:40:49.580
to witness all this horrible transphobic content
00:41:02.640
In fact, the one observation that Chappelle made
00:41:07.400
for the radical trans people losing their minds is this.
