Hello, my friends. I want to take a short break from talking about these anti-Semitic hate camps
00:00:07.880
in our universities, and I want to show you another aspect of university. I want to show
00:00:13.040
you some university graduates from a school I bumped into online, actually. It was just a
00:00:19.320
little video I saw on Instagram, of all things. I want to show you this video. I think you'll find
00:00:24.220
it astonishing, and that's why I want you to see it, not just hear it. You've got to see these kids,
00:00:31.340

00:00:48.020
because we don't take any money from Trudeau, and it shows. All right, here's today's podcast.
00:00:54.220
Tonight, have you been on campus lately? Let me show you a university that caught my eye.
00:01:15.460
It's May 28th, and this is The Astral Advance Show.
00:01:35.100
Hello, my name is Jacob, and my concentration is environmental science and sustainable business.
00:01:40.020
Hi, my name is Lex, and my concentration is the performance of self.
00:01:44.340
Hi, I'm Gabrielle, and my concentration is creative direction, production, and narrative
00:01:47.940
through the arts, performance, and written work.
00:01:51.140
Hi, my name is Karina Gomes, and my concentration is in journalism and Latin American studies
00:01:57.300
with an emphasis in human rights, collective memory, and political violence.
00:02:01.920
Hi, my name is Stephanie Lee, and I studied the sociology of environmental communication.
00:02:06.820
I'll play a bit more of it for you in a moment. I just came across the video by chance,
00:02:12.000
and it got me thinking. I'd be nervous going to university these days, not just because I'm Jewish
00:02:18.980
and some universities have allowed outrageously anti-Semitic groups that explicitly support the
00:02:25.200
terrorist group Hamas to set up encampments in the hearts of universities, including here in Toronto
00:02:30.720
at Canada's largest university, where they literally blockade people based on their religion
00:02:36.400
and saying, if you're a Jew, they stop you from passing.
00:02:43.740
On indigenous property. Everywhere you go is indigenous land.
00:03:05.260
The university has handed over their property to these guys, who I have no idea who they are.
00:03:12.300
I don't even know if they're students, right? And they're in charge. They're in charge of letting
00:03:17.660
people in, letting people out. Exactly. So let us in. So let us in. Don't give them out, right?
00:03:23.200
Most of the people in these encampments aren't even students, of course. They're professional
00:03:28.580
organizers, well-paid and well-directed. But the university administrations either support
00:03:34.240
these encampments or really don't oppose them. It's not just in Canada. Of course, you'll recall
00:03:39.220
the hearing in front of the U.S. Congress a few months ago when the presidents of Harvard,
00:03:44.280
MIT, and Penn, some of the best schools in America, said that, you know, you have to take
00:03:49.660
those anti-Semitic chants in context. Ms. McGill, at Penn, does calling for the genocide of Jews
00:03:56.440
violate Penn's rules or code of conduct? Yes or no?
00:04:00.420
If the speech turns into conduct, it can be harassment. Yes. I am asking, specifically
00:04:09.980
calling for the genocide of Jews, does that constitute bullying or harassment?
00:04:16.680
If it is directed and severe or pervasive, it is harassment.
00:04:20.840
So the answer is yes. It is a context-dependent decision, Congresswoman.
00:04:25.400
It's a context-dependent decision. That's your testimony today. Calling for the genocide of
00:04:30.080
Jews is depending upon the context. That is not bullying or harassment. This is the easiest
00:04:36.020
question to answer. Yes, Ms. McGill. So is your testimony that you will not answer yes?
00:04:44.100
If it is, if the speech becomes conduct, it can be harassment. Yes.
00:04:51.320
Conduct meaning committing the act of genocide? The speech is not harassment? This is unacceptable,
00:04:58.580
Ms. McGill. I'm going to give you one more opportunity for the world to see your answer.
00:05:03.960
Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Penn's code of conduct when it comes to bullying
00:05:18.460
So yeah, these pro-terrorist camps are bad, but it seems like daily life on campus can be
00:05:25.240
terrifying too. I mean, many of the activists in these encampments are actually professors.
00:05:31.800
Imagine going to class under them. I went to university in the 90s, a full generation ago.
00:05:38.000
Even then I could see things really start to change. I happened to love Shakespeare in high school,
00:05:43.560
so I signed up for English literature as one of my options in my first year university at
00:05:50.340
University of Calgary, allegedly a more conservative school. But it wasn't learning and loving the greatest
00:05:56.800
writer English has ever known. It was all about critical theory. Back then it was feminist critiques.
00:06:04.680
Everything had to be looked at through the lens of sex. I wasn't in women's studies. I was in English, but they didn't teach
00:06:13.400
English. They taught women's studies. What a disappointment for me. Obviously, I dropped the class, but that made me sad.
00:06:20.460
I would have loved to have had a real Shakespeare professor who was a real expert on the subject
00:06:25.460
teach me something I cared about. Not a political battle about feminism that I wasn't interested in.
00:06:32.980
Of course, as you probably know, feminist women's studies has been devoured by gender studies.
00:06:41.740
And if you're curious what the difference is, it's transgenderism. Now, feminists are the ones being
00:06:47.580
silenced and bullied at the hands of men who claim to be women. I don't think these departments are even
00:06:53.620
called women's studies anymore. I just looked at random at the University of Calgary and actually for a few years
00:07:04.640
Three years ago, they erased the word women. On Women's Day, no less, let me read from the student paper there.
00:07:12.520
This change was officially declared on March 8th during the International Women's Day panel, which celebrated the
00:07:18.440
Gender and Sexuality Studies program and the continued importance of advancing
00:07:23.100
gender and sexuality scholarship alongside equity, diversity, and inclusion across the university.
00:07:30.740
Got it. So we advance women by erasing the word woman and then erasing women's places, women's bathrooms,
00:07:40.580
women's sports, women's prisons, even refuges for women like rape shelters. Men get to come into all
00:07:47.980
those places now because that's progress, that's gender studies. I just don't know what you could study these days
00:07:55.400
that isn't insane. They're even queering math, to use their phraseology. I'm not kidding. When I was in school,
00:08:03.900
women and men had reached parity in law school. It was 50-50. And back then, women were already around 60% of med school.
00:08:13.600
I think that's a victory for equality, don't you think? At the same time, there was a huge emphasis
00:08:18.600
on pushing and promoting girls and young women in education. For example,
00:08:23.160
not calling upon boys just because they raised their hands to answer a question first.
00:08:29.700
Well, fast forward 30 years, and the boys have got the message. They just don't
00:08:34.240
like school anymore. They don't go to university anymore. Back to the video I showed you a minute ago.
00:08:39.060
I'll play it in full in a moment. It's from New York University's Gallatin School. I just came across
00:08:46.600
it randomly. It's in Manhattan. It's a small school, just 2,000 students, part of NYU. And according to
00:08:53.540
the best stats I could find online, it's 70% female. I actually think it's way more.
00:09:01.040
Now, part of me would say, that's pretty cool if you're a young man. Two girls for every guy,
00:09:07.200
as the Beach Boys used to sing. But no, I think it's probably about 80% women. And
00:09:13.040
it's sort of incredible. Take a look at the video.
00:09:17.320
Hello, my name is Jacob, and my concentration is environmental science and sustainable business.

00:10:46.420
Now, the tuition and expenses for this school, as you can see, are just over $95,000 a year U.S. money.
00:11:03.940
Let's watch that video just one more time and think about that tuition.
00:11:07.400
Hello, my name is Jacob, and my concentration is environmental science and sustainable business.
00:11:13.100
Hi, my name is Lex, and my concentration is the performance of self.

Hi, I'm Georgia, and my concentration is dramatic writing and theatrical adaptation.
00:11:57.860

00:12:10.620
Hi, my name is Maya, and my concentration is journalism, postcolonial studies, and psychoanalysis.
00:12:17.400
Hi, I'm Eloise. I'm graduating with a concentration in philosophy of science and theater.
00:12:22.060
My name is Amina, and my concentration is titled The Criminal Mind, which is surrounded on criminology and applied psychology.
00:12:29.420
Hi, my name is Juliana. My concentration is international business and fashion through sustainable development.
00:12:37.200
I had to jot down some of those. Just unbelievable.
00:12:44.680
So, sociology of environmental communication, queering and decolonizing theater practice.
00:12:54.580
I think the theater is already pretty queered, as it is, judging by the last 10 Broadway shows I've seen.
00:13:01.980
Of course, there's a critical race studies component for all of these students, if that weren't already obvious.
00:13:08.820
Here, you can see it on the university website.
00:13:11.680
I spent some time poking around that website, just out of morbid fascination.
00:13:17.220
I'm not sure how many years it takes to get a degree in the performance of self.
00:13:23.660
I don't know. When I went to school, the typical degree is four years.
00:13:27.040
So, that's more than half a million dollars Canadian to get your degree.
00:13:37.320
I mean, I admit my desire to study Shakespeare as a one-class optional course back in the 90s.
00:13:45.040
That was a pleasant indulgence. It was sort of a luxury.
00:13:49.520
I wouldn't want a degree in Shakespeare, though.
00:13:52.240
What could you do other than be a professor, I suppose?
00:13:55.000
But it would be nice to study it alongside business or law or whatever else.
00:13:59.540
Who would study all those made-up studies for years that we just saw in the video?
00:14:08.100
And do they expect that they'll be making six-figure jobs teaching that?
00:14:22.840
But as I said before, that implies that this strengthens women.
00:14:30.720
It's obviously very trans and very racially conscious.
00:14:39.520
What do these people do at the end of their studies?
00:14:47.140
Well, in the United States, where this school is, Joe Biden has pledged to forgive student debt.
00:14:52.820
So all the young men who said, yeah, no thanks, I think I'll become a tradesman.
00:15:00.960
They have to pay their taxes to pay off the student loans of those kids at Gallatin.
00:15:08.360
In a way, I don't care what rich kids do with their own money or with their parents' money.
00:15:13.120
I mean, when I was at Columbia University, which is almost as expensive,
00:15:16.920
and at Harvard and other places where spoiled brats throw away their opportunities to be cool and edgy
00:15:23.600
and support Hamas, when I was at Columbia, I'm just so glad I met the two normal kids at the school.
00:15:48.380
I'm guessing if he's from Georgia, you're from Georgia.
00:15:54.220
Yeah, I mean, if you ask me, it's not my favorite thing in the world.
00:15:57.560
You know, I'm not going to say you can't protest, but I think that it's honestly like they're just
00:16:10.520
These things have just like, it just kind of stresses the regular student out.
00:16:13.900
Like, especially with like the football on top of it.
00:16:19.520
We have to worry about whether we can get in through this gate, that gate.
00:16:23.720
It's like, it kind of feels like we don't have our own.
00:16:29.900
I know that there's protests, but then there's been some, what I would call, anti-Semitic actions.
00:16:36.040
Are you aware of any Jewish kids or other kids who think, I don't want to even go to
00:16:40.600
school anymore because I feel like it's not my place?
00:16:44.140
That's what all the professors, like that's why we're all doing a bunch of virtual stuff
00:16:51.800
I think it's all great when people, you know, express their rights and stuff like that.
00:16:56.860
But like, I feel like this is just taking a step forward.
00:17:00.180
You know, the anti-Semitic stuff is like just not, it's not cool.
00:17:03.000
Yeah, they were the exception at Columbia, not the norm.
00:17:06.620
But what are we producing in our universities, in Canada, in Calgary, in Toronto, anywhere
00:17:17.840
They were smiling and joking and looked almost cuddly, those kids from Gallatin.
00:17:23.260
But their ideologies are, if not pointless, they're vicious.
00:17:31.700
If he were to see that video or China's Xi Jinping, they're busy making soldiers and engineers
00:17:45.060
They would think, those students are our allies.
00:18:03.560
Yeah, there might be some bonuses, but guess what?
00:18:12.200
But that's not what's happening in government, okay?
00:18:14.960
In government, for those executives who are paid for by the taxpayer, all it seems they have
00:18:19.700
to do is show up twice a week to work with their shoes tied, and they get a taxpayer-funded
00:18:29.420
Well, speaking from personal experience, one of my favorite hobbies, and I recommend it
00:18:34.420
if you can afford it, is suing the Trudeau government.
00:18:38.100
Now, I don't do so in my personal capacity, but Rebel News, we like to take the government
00:18:42.400
to task, and they're often impervious to other forms of persuasion.
00:18:47.960
So if you can get in front of a federal court judge, you just might get a little justice.
00:18:53.600
You might remember, for example, when Trudeau's hand-picked debate commission kept Rebel News
00:18:59.660
journalists out of the leaders' debates, or when Stephen Gilboa and other cabinet ministers
00:19:04.440
thought they could block Rebel News from access to government Twitter accounts.
00:19:14.140
It's actually a very expensive thing to do, but if we don't do it, who will?
00:19:19.760
And that's surely the question that our friends at the Canadian Taxpayers Federation asked themselves
00:19:24.700
when the government kept stonewalling their legitimate requests under the access to information
00:19:33.320
Joining us now is our friend Franco Teresano of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, who has
00:19:45.360
It's actually tough to take on a big Goliath, but you guys are the right people to do it.
00:20:00.420
So we wanted to know how much in bonuses president of the CBC, Catherine Tate, and the other senior
00:20:12.440
Taxpayers pay more than a billion dollars every single year to fund the CBC.
00:20:16.820
So we are owed transparency from the state broadcaster.
00:20:20.600
But not only that, the CBC is required to follow the access to information laws, but at least
00:20:27.000
in this case, they're blatantly breaking the rules by keeping this information from taxpayers.
00:20:32.380
And that's why we filed a legal challenge with the information commissioner to force the CBC
00:20:37.480
to come clean with taxpayers and tell taxpayers how much in bonuses their president Tate is taking,
00:20:48.860
Instead of going straight to federal court, you go to the information officer who has some
00:21:02.560
Well, and Ezra, we've also used this before, right?
00:21:05.360
Remember when somebody, who was it, stayed in the $6,000 per night hotel room during the
00:21:12.180
Remember when the Trudeau government wouldn't confess who it was?
00:21:15.800
Well, we also filed a legal challenge then with the information commissioner.
00:21:20.080
And when the prime minister's office knew that they were going to lose, they finally
00:21:24.180
fessed up and admitted that it was Trudeau who stayed in the $6,000 per night hotel room.
00:21:29.640
So we are going to look for the exact same type of results in the sense that we want to
00:21:34.240
make the CBC finally come clean with taxpayers and tell us how much in bonuses is Catherine
00:21:40.240
taken, how much in bonuses paid for by the taxpayers are their senior executives taking?
00:21:49.720
I think there's something really creepy about people who work for the federal government
00:21:54.700
getting tax money who keep a secret how much they're paid.
00:22:05.760
In fact, many provinces, for example, have something called a sunshine list, where everyone
00:22:11.220
who makes over, for example, $100,000, it's disclosed.
00:22:15.060
If doctors or police officers or even teachers have to disclose how much they get from the
00:22:22.160
taxpayer, surely the bossy CEO of the state broadcaster can answer that question too.
00:22:30.020
And you know what's even worse than all of this, Ezra?
00:22:33.820
The fact that the CBC confirmed to our lawyer that they have the records on the bonuses being
00:22:43.220
They are just stonewalling the release of the information to the public, to the taxpayers
00:22:49.500
Not only that, Ezra, but you'll remember that the CTF got another access to information
00:22:55.140
requests from the CBC, showing that it handed out $15 million in bonuses in 2023 to 1,100
00:23:03.940
So the CBC apparently was fine to release the bonus amounts for its 1,100 staffers.
00:23:09.480
But Tate doesn't want the public to know about how much in bonuses, taxpayer-funded bonuses,
00:23:15.960
she's taken from us Canadians, along with the other senior executives.
00:23:19.720
So that's why we filed the information or the challenge with the information commissioner
00:23:31.160
I mean, of course, the CBC wants everyone else to be accountable, but not themselves.
00:23:36.240
They wouldn't accept this kind of access to information stonewalling from other agencies.
00:23:41.740
It's incredible how they use it for themselves.
00:23:45.580
I think that Catherine Tate has a personal reason for this, too.
00:23:50.540
Not just she doesn't want people to know how much money she's making at our expense, but
00:23:58.120
She went to Parliament and lied through her teeth.
00:24:09.320
I don't know if she was under oath, but it's not a good idea to perjure yourself when you're
00:24:14.900
before Parliament, which is actually a kind of court, if you can believe it.
00:24:18.900
Parliament is a kind of a court when they're examining you, and you better not lie.
00:24:23.600
Here's Catherine Tate telling an obvious porky.
00:24:27.540
It is not my decision to award performance pay.
00:24:31.240
It is, in fact, the decision of the board of directors, and that decision comes at the
00:24:37.560
We have another two months before we reach the end of the fiscal year, and as I have
00:24:41.820
also said in public, everything is on the table.
00:24:45.360
So we will see at the end of fiscal year, based on results and where we are financially.
00:24:53.760
You have no say in whether or not bonuses are granted.
00:24:57.820
All of the management team measures and analyzes our results on an annual basis, which are published
00:25:07.940
As the CEO, you have no say in whether or not bonuses are given.
00:25:11.780
All of the management team presents to the board of directors the results of our year against KPIs,
00:25:19.600
key performance indicators that have been tracked throughout the year.
00:25:23.240
And based on the analysis and the results, the board of directors makes its decision.
00:25:32.700
It's not my decision whether I get a bonus or not.
00:25:38.800
I mean, what a dumb idea to try and pretend that there's no bonuses.
00:25:45.740
Why lie about it when you know you're going to get caught?
00:25:48.320
I think that's another reason she's stonewalling on the records.
00:25:56.380
Performance pay or at-risk pay or whatever Tate wants to call it.
00:26:00.440
I mean, everyone knows that those are just other words for a bonus.
00:26:04.300
But not only that, remember I just spoke about how the CBC disclosed that they handed out $15 million
00:26:13.940
Well, on the CBC's own records that we got from the access to information requests,
00:26:18.680
the CBC's own records, guess what word they use?
00:26:25.080
So even the CBC knows that they're handing out bonuses.
00:26:31.680
You have Tate, who gets more than a billion dollars from taxpayers every year to fund the CBC,
00:26:37.360
and Tate is still claiming that they are chronically underfunded.
00:26:41.480
So at a time when they're begging for more cash, claiming that the cupboards are bare,
00:26:45.880
look, in all likelihood, you have these CBC executives still handing out taxpayer-funded
00:26:54.680
You know, you've done good work on this stuff before.
00:26:57.360
I got to tell you that if someone is just rocking in the free market and just doing a great
00:27:03.300
job, I love the idea of giving them bonuses because it's not my money.
00:27:07.560
I mean, if I'm a shareholder, like, look at the case of Elon Musk.
00:27:10.520
There was a guy who said he wanted his compensation to be based on reaching certain performance levels,
00:27:17.620
and no one thought he could possibly do it to multiply the size of Tesla tenfold.
00:27:34.100
But if it's a taxpayer-funded position, it is my business.
00:27:39.180
The crazy thing is these folks give themselves bonuses no matter how poorly they do.
00:27:45.020
Elon Musk's bonus was because he multiplied by ten the value of his company.
00:27:49.260
Catherine Tate has presided over the decline of CBC viewership, and you've also done this
00:27:55.320
examination on the Bank of Canada bonuses and the CMHC, the Mortgage and Housing Corporation.
00:28:02.780
These are abject failures who, if they were in the private sector, they would be fired.
00:28:15.460
Yeah, there might be some bonuses, but guess what?
00:28:24.120
But that's not what's happening in government, okay?
00:28:26.880
In government, for those executives who are paid for by the taxpayer, all it seems they
00:28:31.420
have to do is show up twice a week to work with their shoes tied, and they get a taxpayer-funded
00:28:37.080
I'm glad you mentioned some of the other failing government agencies, like the Bank of Canada
00:28:47.320
They completely failed at their job, no matter tens of millions in bonuses for the Bank of
00:28:57.260
According to their own website, their number one objective above all else is housing affordability.
00:29:02.580
Well, newsflash, Canadians can't afford to own a home.
00:29:06.180
No matter, CMHC rubber stamps tens of millions of dollars in bonuses in recent years.
00:29:12.000
So here's a thing that the government should do today, and the taxpayer-funded bonuses going
00:29:26.500
And I know that sounds hilarious to say, it's a weird thing to say, but I think sometimes
00:29:34.000
I mean, when David Lamedi shut down his Twitter account, but it wasn't his Twitter account,
00:29:51.000
Even if this happens really smoothly, it's going to cost thousands of dollars.
00:29:55.060
How do people help you sue the government to get these records?
00:30:01.220
I mean, first of all, we're going to keep fighting until taxpayers get the results that
00:30:12.640
And of course, we always appreciate the support because we never have, never will take a penny
00:30:19.260
Well, and that's why we can trust you because you're not being paid on the down low by the
00:30:24.740
government, which it's incredible to me to this day that 99% of the journalists in this
00:30:29.580
country take government money and they don't disclose that when they're reporting on the
00:30:34.200
It's a total conflict of interest, which is why you guys are the best.
00:30:40.780
I'm sure you'll let the whole world know how it goes.
00:30:49.880
She fibbed in parliament and is covering it up.
00:31:00.860
There you have it, Franco Teresano of the Taxpayers Federation.
00:31:22.600
Your Letters to Me about my visit to the little rally outside the Jewish Girls School.
00:31:27.980
Michael Mortimer says, love the line, you were very good on Twitter, but have you done
00:31:34.140
No action mouthpieces, constantly passing the buck, afraid of stepping on feelings and allowing
00:31:41.180
Yeah, that guy, the Solicitor General, by the way, I mean, I looked it up to double check.
00:31:45.860
They're basically in charge of police and prisons.
00:31:49.100
He's the guy who should be saying, why are we not arresting people for obviously breaking
00:31:59.500
There are even some laws against masks during certain unlawful protests.
00:32:09.500
Mason Galgee said, didn't Ford say during his first run for premier that he would not allow
00:32:14.920
anti-Jewish hate, like the Al Quds Day hate fest in his, Ontario.
00:32:21.260
That would be an interesting clip to see or hear.
00:32:26.400
You know, the move that that Solicitor General Michael Kersner deployed on me that I hated
00:32:32.160
the most was not, oh, I wear a Jewish yarmulke.
00:32:39.120
Your public life, you're the Solicitor General and you're sleeping on the job.
00:32:42.700
But when I pressed him, he said, well, what about that Arif Varani?
00:32:45.880
That's the name of the federal justice minister under Trudeau.
00:32:52.180
But it's not Arif Varani who runs the Toronto Police Service or the York Regional Police or
00:32:57.180
the Peel Regional Police or the Calgary Police or the Edmonton Police or the Vancouver Police
00:33:05.300
It's those police forces which are under their city commissions, but also in the case of Ontario,
00:33:15.600
Doug Ford and that guy, Michael Kersner, made the decision to stand down.
00:33:20.520
And the prosecutors answer to provincial attorneys general.
00:33:24.220
We don't have federal prosecutors for provincial offenses or to enforce the criminal code in
00:33:40.740
Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel News Headquarters, to you at home,
