Summary
YouTube expands its censorship to global warming. Why should others go to jail when you're not allowed to question the theory that man-made global warming is a fact? It's like Galileo's theory that the sun revolved around the earth.

Hello, my rebels. It was as certain as day follows night that YouTube has increased the scope of its
00:00:07.240
censorship. They're announcing that no longer can you say Donald Trump had the election stolen from
00:00:13.660
him. No longer can you criticize certain official narratives about the COVID-19 virus and the
00:00:20.340
vaccines. But now here's the new part. You cannot criticize the theory of man-made global warming.
00:00:27.440
Oh, it's a theory, but you're not allowed to challenge it. Just like Galileo was not allowed
00:00:32.720
to challenge the theory that the sun revolved around the earth. It's an incredible story,
00:00:38.520
a bad news story. And that's today's show. Let me invite you first to become a subscriber to Rebel
00:00:44.340
News Plus. You get the video version of the show. It's only eight bucks a month. You get my show
00:00:49.300
every day. Sheila Gunn-Reed, David Menzies, Andrew Chapitreau's Weekly. And you get the satisfaction
00:00:54.700
of supporting Rebel News. We're one of the few independent journalistic organizations
00:00:59.860
in the country. All right, here's today's show.
00:01:19.140
Tonight, YouTube expands its censorship to global warming. It's October 8th, and this is the Ezra
00:01:26.020
LeVant Show. Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:32.580
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer. The only thing I have to say to the
00:01:38.160
government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:01:48.080
YouTube isn't just the biggest video platform in the world. It's actually the second biggest
00:01:54.280
search engine in the world, too, after Google, which, as it turns out, owns YouTube. Google and
00:02:01.220
YouTube are far more powerful than Facebook or Twitter, which get a lot more press because lots
00:02:07.420
of journalists are on Twitter, and so it's a primary battleground for the political class to talk to
00:02:13.820
itself. And Facebook was really the first big social network. It's one of the biggest still,
00:02:19.900
with 2 billion users. China-owned TikTok is closing fast, though, with 1 billion users. But Google
00:02:28.740
and YouTube not only control their own platforms, they really control so much of what you access
00:02:34.660
anywhere else to other platforms. I'll Google that. Just Google that. It's shorthand for let me search
00:02:40.280
for that on the internet. Most people don't even think of other search engines, but that in itself is a
00:02:46.220
source of control. What Google puts on its first page of search results is often quite political.
00:02:52.000
What it boosts and moves up versus what it suppresses or de-boosts, and they say they do that,
00:02:59.140
even what they simply refuse to show you at all. Even if you type it in the search precisely,
00:03:04.800
some things Google just refuses to show. Same goes for YouTube searches. For example,
00:03:09.760
if you simply type the words Rebel News into the YouTube search engine, if you're not signed in,
00:03:16.800
and if you cleared your cache, you get very political results. You do get a few actual Rebel News videos.
00:03:25.480
But one of the very first hits is this one. Trudeau slams Rebel News. I won't call it a news
00:03:32.340
organization. It's not the most current video. It doesn't have the most views. It's not by Rebel News,
00:03:37.680
but it's an attack on us. Underneath that, this old one from years ago. Environment minister tells
00:03:45.600
Rebel Media reporter to stop calling her climate Barbie. Four years old, but it's the CBC's attack
00:03:51.240
on us. Here's one. The right perspective. YouTube radicalization and Rebel Media. The listening
00:03:57.640
post. That's an attack on us from Al Jazeera. This video has very few views by contrast, like it's in
00:04:03.520
the tens of thousands. It's not in the millions. It's years old. There's simply no way that would
00:04:10.000
organically come up in the top ten videos about Rebel News or by Rebel News if it weren't hand
00:04:16.360
curated that way. This one from the CBC. Andrew Scheer shuns Rebel News. There are two legitimate Rebel
00:04:24.080
News stories in the top ten results. The rest are attacks on us, including obscure attacks with few views.
00:04:29.680
But YouTube has made it that way. Anyone who Googles Rebel News or searches Rebel News on YouTube
00:04:36.120
will see all the bad things people have to say about us. It bugs me, but luckily millions of people
00:04:42.060
have been able to overcome the built-in bias to find us and get their news directly from us.
00:04:47.480
But look at this, for example. Just for contrast, if you do the same thing and type in the name of a large
00:04:54.060
left-wing YouTube channel, frankly, one of the channels we modeled Rebel News after back in the
00:05:00.820
day, it's called The Young Turks. It's a left-wing site. If you do the same thing and just type in
00:05:06.160
The Young Turks on YouTube, every single hit is from The Young Turks. No takedown of them or smear of
00:05:13.980
them. That's the difference. You see what I mean? That's the sort of passive-aggressive stance
00:05:19.820
that YouTube has had for years. I mean, starting in 2017, after the internet helped Donald Trump
00:05:26.300
beat the mainstream media's bias towards Hillary Clinton, we saw the internet companies cracking
00:05:31.180
down on conservatives online. Our advertising revenues fell by 85% almost overnight when Trump
00:05:40.620
was inaugurated. Even though our viewership was actually growing, it was later called the
00:05:46.480
great demonetization of conservative social media, and it put thousands of small conservative
00:05:51.620
YouTube channels out of business. Then earlier this year, they simply cut us off altogether,
00:05:57.680
but they gave us no reason why, by the way. They had no video they pointed to as a problem.
00:06:02.500
They just wanted to hurt us by kicking $400,000 a year out of our budget. And remember, that was a
00:06:08.820
fraction of what we'd be making if they didn't hit conservative sites the way they did. If we were of
00:06:14.240
the left, we would probably be making about $3 million a year just from YouTube ads.
00:06:19.540
But since January, we've had two swords hanging over our heads, hanging by a thread.
00:06:25.560
If we repeated any claim that the 2020 U.S. presidential election was the subject of widespread fraud
00:06:33.700
at the ballot box, if we would say that, we would be suspended. You could say that the 2016
00:06:41.260
presidential election was stolen, stolen by Trump, victimizing poor Hillary. You can say
00:06:46.740
that any time. You can say that any other election in the world was stolen or not. You can say any
00:06:53.060
governor's race or congressional race was stolen or not. You just can't say it about that one thing.
00:06:58.340
You can't say it about Trump. Isn't that very, very specific? That's so weird.
00:07:02.680
And indeed, it was the same with the Chinese coronavirus, COVID-19. You can challenge any
00:07:09.300
other disease, where it came from, how to cure it. Just not COVID-19. Isn't that weird?
00:07:16.040
You can't query where it came from. If it was from a Chinese lab, you can't dispute the vaccines
00:07:20.580
or offer alternatives. You just can't. You can't say things like plandemic or a hoax. Or if you do,
00:07:28.460
you're very likely to have your video knocked down and perhaps your whole channel. YouTube boasts
00:07:34.280
about deleting over 100,000 videos. Your entire channel could be canceled for that.
00:07:41.120
That's why we put so much of our content on other platforms. Now, rumble.com, odyssey.com,
00:07:48.260
superu.net, because you can't have a proper discussion about many things on YouTube. You just
00:07:53.060
can't. They won't let you. They say it's for public health, but they really mean public
00:07:58.960
politics, don't they? They say, they specifically say you can't challenge the World Health Organization,
00:08:05.720
but that's just a bureaucracy of the United Nations, very few of whom are actual doctors,
00:08:10.860
by the way. They also say you can't challenge your local health regulations, but those are just
00:08:17.440
political decisions that vary from district to district. It's simply censorship in favor of the
00:08:23.040
government that's hardly a free speech platform. It's irritating, it's illiberal, it's un-Canadian,
00:08:29.480
and it's certainly un-American, but really, who pushed back? And don't tell me Donald Trump did.
00:08:34.960
I'm sorry, but what did he do? He had four years, of which some of that time he had control of the
00:08:40.240
Congress, by the way. What did he do? He howled about the unfairness of Silicon Valley,
00:08:46.520
but what did he actually do when he had power? He didn't bust up the monopolies. He didn't bust up
00:08:52.060
Google and YouTube. That would be a place to start. Teddy Roosevelt did that to the oil companies,
00:08:57.560
busted them up, Standard Oil. The phone companies were busted up a generation ago. Trump didn't do it.
00:09:04.260
And so the censorship grows. And now look at this. This is from yesterday.
00:09:10.320
Updating our ads and monetization policies on climate change. Oh, really?
00:09:18.360
Working closely with outside experts. Oh yeah, which experts? We regularly review and update our
00:09:23.740
ads and monetization policies to help ensure a brand safe environment for our advertising partners
00:09:29.600
and to better protect users from unreliable claims, such as fake medical cures or anti-vaccine advocacy.
00:09:36.320
By the way, what's wrong with anti-vaccine advocacy? It's a point of view. Why is that just
00:09:41.720
from the beginning banned? It's a bit of a joke, actually, that they're blaming this on advertisers.
00:09:49.120
They want brand safe environments. I'm sure some of that is true, by the way. Woke Capital,
00:09:55.060
all the left-wing megacorporations, they want to snuff out conservative views. That is true. But let's be
00:10:00.140
honest. This is Google and YouTube and Facebook and Twitter making these decisions.
00:10:04.620
Their top executives are all Democrats. They themselves believe this. They're hard left-wing
00:10:10.020
ideologues. They're radicals. So that's how things were up until yesterday. But now look at what came
00:10:16.440
in new yesterday. Look at this. New censorship. Addressing climate change denial. In recent years,
00:10:24.880
we've heard directly from a growing number of our advertising and publishing partners who've expressed
00:10:29.720
concerns about ads that run alongside or promote inaccurate claims about climate change.
00:10:36.020
Advertisers simply don't want their ads to appear next to this content. And publishers and creators
00:10:40.920
don't want ads promoting these claims to appear on their pages or videos.
00:10:45.020
Inaccurate claims about climate change, eh? What, would that be like the prediction that all the snow
00:10:53.660
would be gone by the year 2000? Was that Al Gore who said that? I forget. The claim that there would
00:10:59.460
be no more winter. Kids wouldn't know what snow looks like. The sea level will engulf Los Angeles and
00:11:06.760
New York by now. Like claims like those? No, no, no. I'll read more. That's why today we're
00:11:13.560
announcing a new monetization policy for Google advertisers, publishers, and YouTube creators
00:11:18.160
that will prohibit ads for and monetization of content that contradicts well-established
00:11:24.220
scientific consensus around the existence and causes of climate change. This includes content
00:11:30.300
referring to climate change as a hoax or a scam, claims denying that long-term trends show that
00:11:35.440
global climate is warming, and claims denying that greenhouse gas emissions or human activity
00:11:40.360
contribute to climate change. So you can't contradict well-established scientific consensus.
00:11:46.420
That's their language. But isn't science actually not about a consensus like that? You don't have
00:11:54.620
a vote to determine what science is, what physics is, what biology is. It's not based on a vote
00:11:59.340
at all. Isn't it actually science? Isn't it a process of constantly contradicting the status quo,
00:12:07.680
challenging the status quo, of testing the status quo, as Richard Feynman would say? Science
00:12:15.960
is the belief in the ignorance of the experts. Remember that line? I mean, isn't all scientific
00:12:24.400
progress, by definition, breaking the established consensus? The world is flat. Well, I'm going
00:12:31.520
to challenge that and prove it's round. Didn't Galileo do that? He said the earth revolved around
00:12:37.520
the sun, and he was condemned by the pope for it. He was even jailed for it. How would Galileo
00:12:44.140
have fared under Google's rules? Is this about a search for truth? Because shouldn't you allow
00:12:51.440
all questions, no matter how bad? I mean, what kind of truth can't withstand scrutiny, especially
00:12:57.520
weak and uninformed scrutiny? Or is this about other agendas? Well, Google YouTube actually
00:13:04.540
admits it. Let me quote, this new policy not only will help us strengthen the integrity of
00:13:09.960
our advertising ecosystem, but it also aligns strongly with the work we've done as a company
00:13:15.100
over the past two decades to promote sustainability and confront climate change head on. Oh, okay.
00:13:21.460
So this is some internal political policy you've been trying to achieve as a company, and you're
00:13:26.900
doing this as a corporate decision to make the woke executives at Google and YouTube feel
00:13:32.180
better. So you're preferring your own point of view to that of others. You just admitted
00:13:37.960
it. This is just you saying we're good, everyone else is bad. So they banned questioning Trump's
00:13:45.840
election loss just because. They never really explained why they just did. They banned questioning
00:13:52.900
the COVID-19 narrative and the vaccine narrative. There, at least they claimed public health was
00:13:57.620
at stake. Though why they would ban questions about the most effective therapies and the best
00:14:03.200
way to chat. It makes no sense to me. But what is this about? How is disputing astrophysics
00:14:09.720
or other physical or, you know, climatological issues, how is that a danger to the public? I know
00:14:17.080
the answer because it's really about the danger of thinking for yourself. That's what all of
00:14:23.040
these things have in common. Are you a dissenter or are you a submitter, a complier? And you'll
00:14:29.260
notice that at least for the virus and for the global warming, the United Nations is taken
00:14:35.700
as the global arbiter of truth right there in the YouTube Google text. The place, the United
00:14:41.060
Nation that puts the likes of Cuba and China on the Human Rights Commission. Afghanistan
00:14:46.740
with the Taliban. The place that promotes the Taliban but condemns Israel, the only democracy
00:14:52.240
around. That's the place, the United Nations that will decide what you can or can't say.
00:14:57.640
United Nations where many countries are total censors like Iran and North Korea. And really
00:15:04.460
it isn't surprising. And really it won't be surprising what the next subject is banned to.
00:15:10.720
The only surprise will be, well, what are the next subjects to be put off limits? Me, I'm
00:15:17.740
guessing it's transgenderism in women's sports. What do you think will be banned next? Stay
00:15:25.780
Kelly Lamb here on special assignment for Rebel News. Earlier today, I was in the small town
00:15:43.000
of Warman, Saskatchewan, which is where the Prairie Spirit School Division offices are located. Now
00:15:48.580
in this region, what started as a small group of concerned moms on Facebook has turned into a much
00:15:53.520
larger movement against COVID measures in the school system. This group is planning to present
00:15:58.940
their concerns as well as data to back them up to the school board at 11 o'clock AM. This
00:16:04.520
school division covers 47 schools, which includes three First Nations, nine Hyderite colonies and
00:16:09.320
11,000 students in total. And the moms, they're not too happy. So let's go see what they have
00:16:22.040
Again, there's more comments there. I'm not going to go through all of this, but as board members and
00:16:37.260
director, I think it'd be important for you guys to take a look at...
00:16:42.000
I think it went really good. We had a lot of preparation before this meeting. We actually
00:16:48.060
had a whole committee help us out. We had binders for all of them. The only thing is we ran out of
00:16:54.760
time. So we kind of were speeding through the end part, which I wanted to put a little bit more
00:16:59.400
emphasis on some of the board's responsibilities and the director's responsibilities. But I think I
00:17:04.760
did cover it. This is definitely not going to be the last meeting we're going to speak at.
00:17:11.060
So whatever we didn't get to, we'll get to next time.
00:17:15.400
Well, that's the town of Warman, Saskatchewan. A very interesting story about grassroots parents
00:17:20.920
taking back their schools. It's something you see across the United States quite a lot. Oh boy,
00:17:26.220
they're in a battle with their teachers unions over critical race theory and other Marxist ideas.
00:17:31.820
It's great to see Canadian parents taking a stand for their own kids. You don't see that enough.
00:17:37.680
But the other thing that is delightful about what we just showed you is, as you can see,
00:17:43.280
we have a new reporter covering the province of Saskatchewan. It's our friend Kelly Lamb,
00:17:48.720
and she joins us now via Skype. Kelly, great to see you again, and congratulations. And let me give
00:17:54.540
you an official welcome to Rebel News. I mean, you've been involved with us before, but this is your first
00:18:00.140
time as a reporter. Yes, it is. Well, thank you for the warm welcome. And it has been a warm welcome
00:18:05.680
indeed from everyone involved. So what a great place to call work. So thank you very much for
00:18:11.220
the opportunity to do some coverage from the prairies. Oh, come on. We're really grateful.
00:18:14.880
I've long wanted to have a footprint in the prairies. We've got Sheila Gunn-Reed in Edmonton and a great
00:18:20.860
team in Calgary. But I mean, a lot of news happens in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, but the world doesn't know it
00:18:26.880
because, you know, to have a rebel style reporter on the ground makes all the difference. Saskatchewan
00:18:32.700
has a lot of stories to be told. Tell us a little bit more about the teachers' rebellion that you
00:18:37.400
covered. I mean, the parents' rebellion. Pardon me, the parents' rebellion. Go ahead.
00:18:41.900
Yeah, of course. So that particular one is just one of the many school boards that are,
00:18:46.060
you know, people that are expressing concern. So that started in the Prairie Spirit School Division,
00:18:49.920
which is in the Warman region, just north of Saskatoon, for those who aren't in this area but have
00:18:54.620
been to Saskatchewan. So that's just one group that started to grow very rapidly. And I became
00:18:59.680
aware of it and started following along and covered that. And from there, that group has actually grown,
00:19:03.780
which you'll see in the next video that's on its way out soon in post. That has grown into a doctors
00:19:08.540
and a health care workers group, as well as a citizens at large group. So it started out,
00:19:13.040
though, with this wonderful group of concerned parents. Nadine Ness was the person that started it
00:19:17.440
up. And she thought maybe we're alone here. She was chatting with her husband and they thought,
00:19:21.100
you know, maybe we should see if other people feel the same way and are concerned. So they started
00:19:25.200
a Facebook group. And that basically, you know, just started to grow and expand very quickly.
00:19:30.060
And they put out a big binder and did a ton of work and took it to the school board and really
00:19:34.440
have tried to meet them where they're at and try to find a middle ground in a really respectful,
00:19:39.740
mature way instead of, you know, coming out with guns blazing. So it was really inspiring to chat
00:19:44.360
with some of the people there. It was a very last minute thing. I sort of jumped in the car and went.
00:19:47.700
I missed some of the protesters outside and they were a little shy. But it was really nice to just
00:19:52.640
talk with some of the parents, some of the moms, people there with strollers. They're just concerned
00:19:56.220
about their kids' well-being. People had horrible stories to share. There have been multiple emails
00:20:00.820
sent to that school board about concerns with kids' mental health, including things like suicide
00:20:05.940
watch. It's really quite sad. And a lot of this, they're questioning, is it actually necessary for
00:20:10.540
the health of the kids? Or are we doing way more harm than good? Which I think is a very valid
00:20:14.680
question to ask. It absolutely is. And it has not escaped me that Teresa Tam has no children of her
00:20:21.740
own. But by God, does she have plans for your kids? I'm terrified. It's not just the masks and the
00:20:27.380
social distancing and the creepy rituals with no basis in science. Like really, it's a superstition.
00:20:33.680
But now they're looking to approve vaccinations for children as young as five. That's kindergarten age.
00:20:39.420
I find it terrifying. What's so exciting to me about your story, though, Kelly, is that it shows that
00:20:44.620
the world is not unanimous on this. It would look unanimous if you only sampled MPs in Parliament,
00:20:52.560
because we haven't seen any opposition to this, or MLAs in the provincial legislature, or the
00:20:57.740
mainstream media. I think back to the leaders' debate in the last federal election. It was five
00:21:04.300
leaders all violently agreeing with each other. But to see that grassroots parents have a different
00:21:10.740
point of view, I'm delighted to see them organizing like this. That's a lot of hard work, but it looks
00:21:14.800
like it's paying off, maybe? Hopefully. I'll keep you posted as we know more. So there's supposed to
00:21:19.940
be another board meeting right away here, but we haven't heard what they're planning to implement.
00:21:23.560
But what I've heard so far from Nadine Ness is that they have at least looked at opening this up to
00:21:28.040
the parents to take out sort of a questionnaire or a survey to at least get the opinions and the input
00:21:32.820
of the parents, instead of just running it sort of authoritarian-like. There's actually some sense
00:21:37.440
of, you know, maybe we could have this as a democracy. And we couldn't cover the whole 30-minute
00:21:41.280
presentation in the video for Rebel. But what they spoke about there was that it wasn't just about
00:21:45.940
specific rules. They understand every parent and every teacher has a different view. They're hoping
00:21:50.460
that the other side can be heard. And it was nice to see that it was spoke of the censorship and
00:21:55.780
how anybody, parents are afraid to even hit like on a Facebook post or say anything at all
00:22:02.100
questioning even one part of the narrative of how this is being done. And people are often
00:22:06.620
thinking they're alone. So they just say nothing and then nothing happens. So what I think is
00:22:10.480
inspiring here is it really shows that other people, regular people, Saskabushers and elsewhere
00:22:15.620
in the country and the world, really, that parents do still have some control, but they have to do it
00:22:21.360
in numbers. One or two voices isn't enough. They'll just shut you down as a nut bar. And ultimately,
00:22:26.200
what this comes down to is just parental control and authority and making sure that the teachers
00:22:30.520
aren't taking on a little more responsibility for your kids than you have.
00:22:34.780
Yeah, well, it's very encouraging. And if I recall from your report, it's an interesting school
00:22:40.040
board includes different groups. Like if I heard you write the Hutterites, for example. So I think
00:22:44.560
maybe the nature of this school board has also lent itself to people having a moral code and their
00:22:51.740
own compass and therefore not being pushed around as easily by teachers union flim flam. I mean,
00:22:57.420
I think sometimes these downtown Toronto schools having the Marxist grads getting pumped right out
00:23:04.700
of the Ontario Institute for Studies and Education, OISE, it's called. It's the teacher's college.
00:23:11.140
Maybe somewhere like Saskatchewan, you have more common sense in the ground. And maybe that's why
00:23:18.480
this was more successful there. I hope, I would like to think that such a rebellion would work in a
00:23:25.400
big city in Canada. I'm not quite as sure. It's tough because you have, you do have the challenges
00:23:30.760
here, especially the fact that it's very rural. So Warman's a pretty small place. It could be
00:23:34.920
considered a bedroom community of Saskatoon. But as soon as you get out of the two big main centers
00:23:39.160
here, we have small cities, but the smallest cities, most people in Ontario would probably call
00:23:43.080
a town. So you do get sort of that urban rural divide. And when you get into the rural areas,
00:23:47.440
what you have trouble with is just vast amounts of geography and spaces to cover.
00:23:51.080
So it can be harder to get a ton of people in for, say, a protest than maybe in Toronto,
00:23:55.040
because you just have a lot further to travel in the winter, especially that becomes difficult.
00:23:59.540
But what is nice about it is when you have a rural school board or a rural area like this,
00:24:03.520
is there is definitely a different mentality. I think there's more of an urban rural divide
00:24:09.260
across this nation than just east and west, although that exists as well. But what you really notice
00:24:13.980
in Saskatchewan is the more rural you go, the more conservative that you go, generally speaking.
00:24:18.460
And that is a different way of looking at things. We prefer smaller government. We prefer to be a
00:24:22.480
little more independent. And there's definitely a prairie settler kind of spirit that I noticed when
00:24:27.900
the parents were speaking up. This idea of please just let us take care of our family. We're not trying
00:24:33.380
to harm anyone. Just leave us alone. It's not a libertarian mentality per se, but it is one of wanting
00:24:38.940
less centralized government and less government control, which of course lends itself to this
00:24:43.620
quite nicely. So I think that is part of it for sure, is the rural spirit and sort of just the way
00:24:48.440
that farmers and rural types live out here, as well as Hutterite colonies as well. There's a lot of
00:24:53.600
independence. It's a harsh environment. People are very hardy. They're survivalists and they carry
00:24:58.600
that spirit with them. Wow. Well, I've got to say, Kelly, I'm just so delighted to have you on our team.
00:25:05.080
Some viewers will remember you from the Rebel Live event where you performed a song on the piano.
00:25:11.320
You even came to Manchester, England with me for a rally for Tommy Robinson a few years ago. So
00:25:19.320
you've been part of the extended Rebel family for years. It's so delightful to have you as a reporter
00:25:26.700
and we hope to see more from you. What kind of stories are you interested in? What kind of things
00:25:33.340
would you like to cover in the months ahead? Well, for now, I'm going to focus mostly on this
00:25:40.500
vaccine mandates, et cetera, of course, in Saskatchewan, as well as elsewhere in the country.
00:25:44.340
We've put out a really, really strict mandate. My husband will be losing his position because he's
00:25:48.620
standing firm on this. My mother has been discriminated against in her own seniors' condo.
00:25:53.340
I might lose my family physician because he's one of the brave who will speak up against the
00:25:57.500
narrative. So this, I have a pretty big stake in the game, but I'm seeing Canadians,
00:26:00.660
just good regular Canadians, just getting, just annihilated by this. It's really sad to see. And
00:26:06.000
I want to give them a voice. I want to give people here a voice. So that's going to be a big part of
00:26:09.360
it is covering all of the COVID mania, as you might say. But beyond that, there's a lot more news that's
00:26:14.160
just not being discussed. It's not like COVID is the only thing that is happening. So I certainly would
00:26:18.220
like to discuss more social stuff. And a lot of my issues pertain to healthcare because that's
00:26:22.640
something I've been passionate about. So discussing stories about Canadian healthcare, perhaps ways that we
00:26:27.100
can improve on it, as well as issues in the social sphere, especially as they relate to the sexual
00:26:33.100
health education for kids, gender identity, that kind of thing. I'm pretty gender critical, you might
00:26:37.960
say. And I have a lot of concerns as a woman and just as a concerned citizen about the direction that
00:26:43.120
that narrative is going. So I'd like to cover that a bit, as well as whatever else people in Saskatchewan
00:26:48.320
feel is important. I'd like to just give people a voice. It's not just about what I'm interested in.
00:26:52.600
It's about what people around here would like to get out to the rest of you. Well, I can hardly
00:26:57.840
wait. Thank you so much for joining the team. Thanks for your great journalism. I look forward
00:27:02.580
to your work in the weeks and months ahead. Thanks for joining the team. Well, again, thanks for
00:27:07.500
having me. It's my honor. I look forward to doing more. Right on. Well, that's wonderful. There you
00:27:12.100
have it. Kelly Lamb, the newest Rebel News reporter in Saskatchewan. Stay with us. More ahead.
00:27:22.600
Hey, welcome back. Got a few letters for you. Ken Vandenberg says, the only question is
00:27:37.300
whether Canada will support Taiwan or China in the almost unavoidable war, given the fascist
00:27:42.240
behavior in our government. My bet is China. Yeah, I think actually Canada will probably
00:27:50.240
stay silent. You know, the liberals said when Harper was gone, Canada's back. Yeah, I don't
00:27:58.040
really think so. We've never had a weaker voice in the world stage. We've never been more
00:28:03.260
ignored. I think Trudeau will just watch passively from the beach in Tofino or something.
00:28:10.660
Ty Chung Canuck says the judiciary in Canada moves in the same social circles as the politicians
00:28:15.840
and is appointed by the politicians they bump elbows with. Does anyone honestly think they
00:28:20.640
will upset any politician's apple cart? As for the social changes the judiciary has made
00:28:26.240
in Canada over the years, they are all changes supported by the political left. Exactly.
00:28:32.120
We have an extremely activist court. And the politicians sort of like that. They say, oh,
00:28:37.600
I can't handle this. Give it to the courts because they know what the courts are going to do.
00:28:40.760
If the courts were conservative, if the courts had that point of view, you bet there wouldn't
00:28:46.920
be a deference to the courts. Look at the United States. You see it there. When it's a left-wing
00:28:51.440
court, the courts are, you can't criticize them. When there's conservative on the courts,
00:28:56.200
there's not only calls to criticize them, but to pack the courts with more liberals.
00:29:01.840
Scooter 69 wrote, it's called extortion. My grandfather and his friends, veterans of World War II,
00:29:06.780
are rolling over in their graves. Any Canadian who agrees with these passports are not
00:29:10.620
Canadians, but communists. Communists, fascists, authoritarian, papers please. It's deeply troubling.
00:29:21.140
We're going to do our best to fight it. We fight it every day by telling the other side of the story.
00:29:25.840
That's actually an important part of the fight. We try to fight it with lawsuits and lawyers where
00:29:30.440
appropriate. I don't know. I just wish there were other institutions out there. I mean, there's lots
00:29:37.260
of individuals fighting back. But as I noted, the day that Justin Trudeau brought in this terrible
00:29:44.920
ban on flying and trains and boats, Aaron O'Toole didn't have a word to say he was too busy doing a
00:29:51.940
tour of a brewery. That's our show for today. Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel
00:29:59.780
World Headquarters, good night and keep fighting for freedom. But don't go away yet. As we always do, we end
00:30:06.600
with a video of the day. I'll say goodbye to you now, but stick around to watch.
00:30:12.440
These are the papers that my father was forced to carry during the Second World War.
00:30:19.060
We couldn't be outside the camp without these papers. So I absolutely refuse as a Japanese
00:30:29.880
What's going on right now is obviously nothing short of discrimination. It's extremely
00:30:35.880
immoral and it's really heartwarming to see that there's people that are standing up and
00:30:40.880
saying, no, this isn't right and we're not going to take part in this.
00:30:44.780
Can I still get your cooperation getting up off the table so we can impound these items?
00:30:59.780
Just take the pizzas too, man. Have some to eat.
00:31:07.780
Look at the people. Look at the heart of the people.
00:31:20.780
We still can push this great evil and we can do it together.
00:31:24.780
So people over there that you're watching, rise up now or tomorrow, it's your skin.
00:31:31.780
Just like I said to the cops, just like what I said to the doctors, the nurses two years
00:31:50.780
Without Papers Pizza is a local restaurant here in Calgary who, as unfortunate as it is,
00:32:00.780
is faced with the circumstances that we all are.
00:32:02.780
Right now, as it stands, vaccine mandates are coming into play across the world.
00:32:06.780
And it's unfortunate that so many, even though they are opposed to the situation going on,
00:32:13.780
Without Papers Pizza has decided to take a stand.
00:32:19.780
Why are they afraid to make this stand when they know what the consequences are?
00:32:22.780
Yesterday, local authorities decided to take away their benches that they had in the front.
00:32:28.780
And as a response, Without Papers decided to put out milk crates so that people could sit
00:32:32.780
while they were bringing out free pizza for all to enjoy.
00:32:35.780
Regardless of whether or not you've gotten your vaccine.
00:32:39.780
As it stands right now, Calgary has implemented a vaccine passport mandate for local restaurants,
00:32:44.780
requiring them to ask people for their vaccination status.
00:32:48.780
Now, as I told you, this restaurant is going against that mandate.
00:32:55.780
And every day it seems to be an escalation of the situation.
00:32:58.780
So, as it stands today, the restaurant is still continuing on.
00:33:02.780
Pizza is still coming out the door for anybody who wants a slice.
00:33:06.780
This is the only restaurant that has come out against discrimination against an identifiable group of people.
00:33:23.780
This here, these are the papers that my father was forced to carry during the Second World War.
00:33:33.780
You couldn't be outside the camp without these papers.
00:33:37.780
So, I absolutely refuse as a Japanese-Canadian to show my papers to anybody.
00:33:51.780
What they're doing is discrimination and segregation.
00:33:55.780
It's like in the South, they had whites-only restaurants,
00:34:06.780
I applaud the man for saying, you know, his sign says, we accept all.
00:34:13.780
And, you know, other people haven't accepted us.
00:34:19.780
And I think it's really important that we all come together and realize that we're all human.
00:34:25.780
Like, thank you very much for doing what you know is right and standing up for your fellow man.
00:34:32.780
Like, what's going on right now is obviously nothing short of discrimination.
00:34:39.780
And it's really heartwarming to see that there's people that are standing up and saying,
00:34:44.780
no, this isn't right and we're not going to take part in this.
00:34:48.780
It doesn't matter if you're coming to the Whistle Stop and supporting us or coming to the Without Papers
00:34:52.780
or whatever other places are speaking out and pointing out the fallacy and the policy right now.
00:35:00.780
Supporting any of those places is doing a service for everybody.
00:35:06.780
Are you going to try to make some big money off your lies, Rebel?
00:35:18.780
And look at all these businesses that are open.
00:35:22.780
What matters is the closed business who's against health mandates that are protecting people.
00:35:29.780
Not protecting the 802 kids that weren't able to get their surgery.
00:35:37.780
Supporting these kids getting their surgeries postponed.
00:35:39.780
I don't believe that you should be forcing things into people.
00:35:41.780
What I believe is that if you're going to be out here encouraging people to protest at the hospitals,
00:35:52.780
Oh, it's for everyone here and including Rebel News who puts that on all the time.
00:36:08.780
You can't have a picnic table on the sidewalk, right?
00:36:29.780
Can I still get your cooperation getting up off the table so we can impound these items?
00:36:39.780
The only thing we're here to address is just the table in the middle of the sidewalk.
00:36:44.780
You sitting down and eating your pizza has nothing to do with fish.
00:37:11.780
So we all know that the health paper's been shut down, right?
00:37:17.780
For not supporting discrimination and segregation.
00:37:23.780
Not complying with the Alberta Health Services.
00:37:25.780
Which is promoting segregation and discrimination.
00:37:41.780
If you're just going to eat the pizza, I'll leave you for the next couple of minutes.
00:37:48.780
There's discrimination and segregation happening in this province, in this city.
00:37:53.780
Being promoted by the Premier and being promoted by the Mayor.
00:37:59.780
As long as you know that, you're supporting that.
00:38:05.780
He's following every health order that he's supposed to follow to keep people safe.
00:38:11.780
He will not abide segregation and discrimination.
00:38:15.780
These rules that the government and bylaws are putting in place.
00:38:51.780
And then the occupants or the business owner can contact me.
00:39:28.780
Just like what I said to the doctors, the nurses, two years ago.
00:39:34.780
Well, you're not the pastor, so you didn't care.
00:39:39.780
They were not your children, so you didn't care.
00:39:46.780
When I was growing up, I saw the power of the people.
00:40:14.780
But they will require us, all of us, to pay a price.
00:40:18.780
And this man here, that's why I came publicly to support him.
00:40:24.780
Bully will keep bullying until you say, wait a second.
00:40:35.780
Today they're stealing your chairs and your tables.
00:40:39.780
Tomorrow they will be stealing your houses and your cars.
00:40:51.780
Well, here's what I would say to every one of those people that are keeping their mouth shut.
00:40:57.780
Because as long as I'm going to be quiet, maybe the government will leave me be.
00:41:02.780
But history is teaching us that that was and will never be the case.
00:41:08.780
It's just a matter of time when they're going to come for you as well.
00:41:21.780
But believe me that history can teach you how the story ends if you will not raise your voice.
00:41:30.780
If you will not stand up now, you might not have tomorrow.
00:41:38.780
And if you want to see more of this amazing coverage, please go to rebelnews.com.
00:41:42.780
We'll show you the other side of the story, which you're not going to see anywhere else.
00:41:44.780
And you can see all of the stories that we've done so far and without papers.
00:41:47.780
And if you want to help out the local restaurant, come down and grab a slice while you can.
00:41:51.780
And this will hopefully set a precedent for the rest of the country.
