The Trudeau Liberals issue a warning against Canadians traveling to the U.S. because they claim that it is dangerous to be gay there. I'll do a show on that today, and I'll invite you to get the video version of this show by going to rebelnewsplus.co/podcast and subscribing for 8 bucks a month.
00:04:58.700So I'm back in the office and I'm here this week and I'm glad, but I know that I'm leaving again
00:05:13.300next week for our Rebel News fact-finding trip to Israel and the United Arab Emirates. We did a
00:05:18.600similar tour before the pandemic where we took about 40 of our most enthusiastic viewers. I guess
00:05:24.300it was for a holiday, but it was more for a journalistic mission. Every day we met different
00:05:28.340experts about different things. We did news reports on them, but our Rebel News viewers were right there
00:05:33.400with us. So for example, here's a video I did with a guy named Danny Tirza. He's the retired Israeli
00:05:39.400military officer who designed the security barrier between Israel and Arab towns to stop suicide
00:05:47.060attackers from coming through. And I thought this was a good template for Donald Trump and how to
00:05:52.640build the wall. Take a look. I'm standing in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Gilo. Down there is
00:05:57.840Bethlehem and Beit Jala in the West Bank. And with me is retired Colonel Danny Tirza. Nice to see you.
00:06:04.520You were the colonel in charge of the security barrier between the West Bank and Israel. How is it
00:06:10.180working? How many years old is it, first of all? It was start constructed here in 2002 and now we're in
00:06:16.4202017. So 15 years that it works. How many people try and cross the barrier on any given day? Today,
00:06:26.400maybe 20 to 30 times a week someone tried to cross the fence. So three to five times a day. Are they
00:06:35.040people who were lost? Are they regular criminals? What's the breakdown of those 20 or 30 people a week?
00:06:41.180Most of them are criminals. Some of them are illegal workers. And even Palestinian women that are
00:06:47.760running away from the families. You know what happened to a Palestinian wife if her husband
00:06:52.240suspects her. She better run away. How has it affected regular life, commerce? Can people on the
00:06:59.540Bethlehem side still come to Israel and vice versa? Yes, they have. But they can. But they can do it
00:07:06.420only through checkpoints and after a security check. If you came with a ladder, you could
00:07:13.840probably get over that fence in five or ten minutes. That's the whole point. It's not to stop
00:07:18.400people. It's just to detect them and delay them. Is that right? That's right. How long would it take
00:07:25.080someone if there was no rapid response team? You told us earlier that the army comes within five
00:07:30.200minutes. That's their quota. That's their goal. How long would it take to cross over the various
00:07:35.620layers there if no army response was coming? About between eight to 12 minutes. That's all.
00:07:44.280So you really only have three minutes of wiggle room there. That's right. And therefore,
00:07:48.060we are working on both sides of this area. When we have the alert, first we are using our technology
00:07:55.400things to detect it. And then the patrols are coming once from the valley and the two other from
00:08:01.320the mountain here to close the area. Last question. Has anyone crossed the barrier successfully? Have
00:08:08.580terrorists crossed the barrier successfully? Or would you even know? Only when it was under
00:08:14.180construction. From the end of 2006 till today, we had in Israel only 33 terror attacks from the West
00:08:22.920Bank. I'm not talking about launching missiles. I'm talking about terrorists that crossed from the
00:08:28.520West Bank to Israel and succeeded to make terror attacks here. So I was doing an official interview,
00:08:35.300but the whole team of rebels were right behind me. They had just had the same exact briefing I had.
00:08:41.480They toured the fence just like I did. The only difference was at the end of it,
00:08:45.000I jumped in and interviewed Danny Tearsup for the record for five minutes. So we're doing that same
00:08:51.420trip again next week, but we're adding on a three-day visit to the UAE. That's an Arab country that made
00:08:57.720peace with Israel under Donald Trump's Abraham Accord. So we're going to Israel and we're flying to the
00:09:03.760United Arab Emirates to see if the peace deal is real, to see if decades, even centuries of animosity
00:09:10.240can be overcome in that region. So that's a rebel news event and it's a fundraiser for us and it's
00:09:16.760real news reporting. But alas, I'll be away for over a week, even though we'll do lots of news
00:09:22.220updates from there. And of course, not all of our team will be there, but a few. We'll cover many
00:09:27.520other things in Canada. Tamara Leach's trial begins in Ottawa next week. And as you know, we've
00:09:32.160crowdfunded her legal defense fund. That's hard on the heels of the great victory this week by Chris
00:09:37.200Scott, the proprietor of the Whistle Stop Diner, who has been hounded for two years by the government,
00:09:42.740would suddenly drop the charges against him. Here's his reaction to that.
00:09:47.160Well, I was just acquitted of all of my charges relating to the Public Health Act of Alberta
00:09:53.540in relation to me doing what normal business people do, which is engage in business.
00:10:00.060I was brought before the court after I was arrested and I was made to answer for the alleged crime
00:10:08.220of serving hamburgers and pouring coffee. Well, I was acquitted on all charges today. The
00:10:14.800hearing took approximately five minutes. Neither side contested the application for
00:10:24.260an acquittal. And it was all over and done with right away. How do I feel about that? Well,
00:10:31.240I don't feel any different today than I did yesterday. As a matter of fact,
00:10:35.100throughout this entire thing, I haven't had much feeling about the court process at all. I never felt
00:10:42.020despair or anything like that because I was dragged before the court. That was part of the process and I
00:10:50.300knew it was going to happen. And I knew that was going to happen when I took a stand against the
00:10:54.200public health restrictions anyway. So no, there is no, I don't really have any feeling about it.
00:10:59.540I'm not jumping for joy, although I am happy with the outcome in that I'm not going to be
00:11:05.580annihilated with fines. Thank you to Williamson Law and to the Democracy Fund for crowdfunding and
00:11:12.160providing me with the legal support that I needed to do this, this fight. If it wasn't for the
00:11:17.320Democracy Fund, Rebel News and everybody that supported and contributed to the crowdfunding,
00:11:21.800I would have never been able to do this. I would have never been able to stand up even
00:11:24.980more than a week against the government. You know, that little video on Twitter
00:11:28.460had more than 300,000 views in just one day. People really care. And that makes me take heart
00:11:33.660that they haven't forgotten. All right. So that's all a very long way of saying that I'm trying to find
00:11:37.980the balance in my day between doing commentaries in the studio and doing reporting out in the world and
00:11:44.700doing events with rebels in real life versus doing things online. And then there's just running the
00:11:50.300company. I'd like your feedback on how I should balance all of those things. Most other pundits
00:11:55.280usually just do one thing. They do punditing. I think of Ben Shapiro of the Daily Wire. That's his
00:12:00.060main job. I see that Tucker Carlson just went to Hungary again. I was there a month ago. Unlike me,
00:12:06.960he managed to get another sit-down interview with the prime minister over there, Victor Orban.
00:12:10.600And that interview, according to Twitter, has had more than 40 million views in one day. So
00:12:16.180Tucker does journalism, and he does long-form journalism, and he travels and does some events.
00:12:21.880There's a reason he's the world's best. His interview with Donald Trump was literally watched
00:12:27.000a quarter of a billion times. I can't even process that number. So that's the world's best journalist.
00:12:33.140So let me do some Canadian journalism now. Let me show you the news story I mentioned
00:12:36.920a few minutes ago before I told you why I haven't been in the office lately and why I'll be away
00:12:41.400next week, too. Let me show you a nutty thing that Trudeau liberals just did. And it's no surprise,
00:12:47.540whenever they get into trouble, they go for their old standbys. They talk about abortion or gay rights
00:12:54.040or transgenderism. It's their way of changing the channel, so to speak, from bad news for them. They
00:12:59.640know how they can get the media party regulars to change the subject and flip things around for them.
00:13:05.000They need that a lot these days. Things are going pear-shaped, as the Brits would say.
00:13:10.620Inflation, taxes, crime, housing costs. It's really spiraling out of control. Did you see the
00:13:15.940latest pull from Abacus Data? I mentioned them, as you know, because they're run by a liberal. So
00:13:21.060when they say there's bad news for Trudeau, it's like when the New York Times says there's bad news
00:13:25.680for the Democrats. It's an admission against their own interests that they don't like to make. So you
00:13:30.900know you can believe it. I mean, look at this. Conservatives lead by 12% as only 27% think the
00:13:38.480prime minister should run again? I mean, come on. Look at this. The liberals are literally in third
00:13:44.880place every place west of Ontario. They're even behind in the Atlantic. When did you see that last?
00:13:51.240When was the last time the conservatives had a nine-point lead amongst women voters?
00:13:55.180Look at young voters. They can spot a phony a mile away. They hate Trudeau. Yeah, so time to change
00:14:02.540the channel. Trudeau's favorite, Melanie Jolie, got the ball rolling with this weird statement the
00:14:09.140other day. Remember this? Canada mulling game plan if U.S. takes far-right authoritarian shift.
00:14:16.860Jolie. We are certainly working on scenarios, Jolie said in French during an interview.
00:14:22.340How weird is that? Authoritarianism? You mean like declaring martial law, stomping on peaceful
00:14:28.900protesters with riot horses, seizing bank accounts of political opponents, and censoring the internet?
00:14:34.200That kind of thing? An authoritarian shift like that? But nothing that weird could be a mistake.
00:14:40.940Melanie Jolie only reads what's written for her. So this was part of a planned new narrative. It's a
00:14:47.880plan, a media plan to run against Donald Trump and against Ron DeSantis. Think about it. If you're
00:14:53.980Justin Trudeau and you're running against Pierre Polyev, you're sparring with a guy who talks about
00:14:59.880inflation and housing prices and crime in an effective way, a guy Canadians seem to be warming up to.
00:15:06.280What liberal candidate wouldn't prefer to spar against a U.S. Republican?
00:15:12.080All of whom have been demonized in the Canadian media, none of whom have any Canadian sensibility,
00:15:19.680and none of whom will bother to fight back against Trudeau. And even if they did, he'd love it.
00:15:25.440So it's an unserious way to govern. It's an unserious way to deal with issues. But the liberals
00:15:30.620obviously believe they can distract from their real problems in Canada by shadowboxing with Americans.
00:15:36.440They'll do it all day long. And look at how eager the media is to go along with them. Which is why
00:15:42.380the liberals did that weird thing I mentioned at the beginning of this long monologue. They declared
00:15:47.040that America is a dangerous place for gay people. Of course they didn't say gay. They said 2SLGBTQI+. And I know
00:15:57.960gay people. I know some trans people. And never in my life have I ever heard anyone real use the phrase 2SLGBTQI+. It's like when Democrats invented the word Latinx to say Latino. Or it's like cisgender. No one real talks that way. So naturally Trudeau loves it.
00:16:20.6802SLGBTQI+. Workers within the federal government. So they brought in this warning. Hey, 2SLGBTQI+. People better not go to San Francisco or New York. It's too dangerous for you there. I'm sure they actually meant Florida and Texas and other Republican places. They don't single those states out though because of course it's complete BS. I can't think of a single gay right in Canada that they don't have in Texas and Florida. It's just a weird attempt, like I say, to shift the focus away from Trudeau's mess in Canada to
00:16:50.660the US instead. The CBC is absolutely down with this agenda, of course. I listen to CBC radio once every month or two so you don't have to. And they're obsessed with American news. They're obsessed with Trump, of course. It's really weird for a Canadian national broadcaster using Canadian tax dollars to give us hot takes on what's going on in other countries if we're not bombarded with American news all the time. And it's for the same reason, too. They'd rather talk about alleged corruption in America than alleged corruption in
00:17:20.640Canada. All this talk about Russian collusion, Russian influence in America that, by the way, the Mueller inquiry said did not exist. That's a lot easier for the CBC to talk about than, say, communist China's actual influence in actual Canada. That's hard for the CBC to talk about. So they made the announcement. And here's Chrystia Freeland talking about the announcement in her signature rambling style, condescending in tone and substance, totally evasive.
00:17:50.640It really is like Kamala Harris. Here's Chrystia Freeland.
00:17:53.640Why has your government issued the travel advisory for LGBTQ plus people to the United States? And was this something you discussed with President Biden or your government discussed with President Biden first?
00:18:06.640So, you know, as someone who has had the real privilege of serving as Canada's foreign minister, I know that our travel advisories are done very professionally.
00:18:21.640We have professionals in the government whose job is to look carefully around the world and to monitor whether there are particular dangers to particular groups of Canadians. That's their job. And it's the right thing to do.
00:18:42.640When it comes to the United States specifically, I have personal experience of dealing with a diversity of U.S. administrations and of dealing with American leaders at all levels of government, in all branches of government, and with Americans from who represent diverse groups across the country, whether it is business or labor or civic.
00:19:11.640Or labor or civic organizations. And that's because our government understands, as every Canadian government needs to understand, that one of the principal responsibilities of the federal government is to understand how to work with our U.S. neighbor.
00:19:30.640I think our government has shown that that's a priority for us and that we work hard at it and that we're able to manage that relationship regardless of the choices that the people of the United States make.
00:19:44.540Even as we work hard on that government to government relationship, every Canadian government, very much including our government, needs to put at the center of everything we do, the interests and the safety of every single Canadian and of every single group of Canadians.
00:20:11.780That's what we're doing now. That's what we're doing now. That's what we're always going to do.
00:20:14.760So it was a clear question. Why did you do it? And did you talk to Joe Biden about it?
00:20:18.780And then she rambled on for more than two minutes saying literally nothing.
00:20:22.720But they all do this because they know the compliant, colonized regime media will either ignore her windy answer or quote it, but never say, you just gave us a word salad.
00:20:33.960Can you please answer the question? It's a simple yes or no. Did you talk to Joe Biden about this?
00:20:38.940Her answer really reminds me of Kamala Harris. Both Harris and Freeland are the number two in each of their country's governments.
00:20:45.500Both are obviously affirmative action hires. I mean, just ask Trudeau.
00:20:50.940Your cabinet, you said, looks a lot like Canada.
00:20:53.600And I understand one of the priorities for you was to have a cabinet that was gender balanced.
00:21:08.840Both Kamala Harris and Christian Freeland are extremely unlikable people.
00:21:13.920Both are extremely awkward and unaccomplished, which may be why each are where they are.
00:21:19.720Anyone who thinks of getting rid of Joe Biden or thinks of getting rid of Justin Trudeau immediately thinks, yikes, Kamala Harris would be worse.
00:21:28.000The governor and I, and we were all doing a tour of the library here and talking about the significance of the passage of time, right?
00:21:37.860The significance of the passage of time.
00:21:40.060So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time in terms of what we need to do to lay these wires, what we need to do to create these jobs.
00:21:50.920And there is such great significance to the passage of time when we think about a day in the life of our children.
00:22:03.460Who doesn't love a yellow school bus, right?
00:22:06.400Can you raise your hand if you love a yellow school bus, right?
00:22:09.880Just there's something about the, and most of us, many of us went to school on the yellow school bus, right?
00:22:18.460And it's part of, it's part of our experience growing up.
00:22:22.740It's part of, you know, a nostalgia and a memory of, you know, we used to have a great Kamala Harris impersonator who made little parody videos for us.
00:22:37.140Some people actually thought it was Kamala Harris.
00:22:47.180With the exploration of space having been defined in the 21st century, we know then what we know now, and what we know now is absolutely nothing.
00:22:58.820She's really good at being really bad.
00:23:01.160Anyways, that's our deputy prime minister, really.
00:23:35.860And that's how it is with Trudeau and Freeland.
00:23:37.840Where is their public denunciation of regimes that actually kill gay people?
00:23:41.840When was the last time you saw Trudeau or Freeland actually speak truth to power?
00:23:47.320You'll recall that Trudeau, who doesn't seem to do well with powerful women, just ask Jody Wilson-Raybould,
00:23:52.320you'll recall that he thought it was important enough to publicly shame the new prime minister of Italy, Georgia Maloney, for being anti-gay,
00:24:00.520which, of course, she isn't anti-gay, but Trudeau likes mansplaining things to women.
00:24:05.100We know that it's a time of tremendous anxiety for our citizens, whether it's the war in Ukraine,
00:24:11.260whether it's hangovers from the pandemic, whether it's the global economic challenges people are facing.
