Hello, my rebels. Today, I take a second look at David Cochran, the CBC government journalist
00:00:04.460
who not only was defending Justin Trudeau and his decision not to take any questions from the media,
00:00:10.660
but actually took a gift of poutine from Trudeau and thanked him on camera. I show you the video
00:00:17.060
from a few angles. I think you're going to get a kick out of this. And my podcast friends,
00:00:21.180
I wish you could see this because you got to see the smile on his face. You got to see this happy
00:00:25.800
puppy pleasing his master. Oh, you got to see the video version of it, which you can see as a
00:00:31.360
premium subscriber. It's eight bucks a month, 80 bucks a year. You even get a discount if you enter
00:00:35.860
the coupon code podcast. Just go to the rebel.media slash shows. You got to see it. Oh my God. It's
00:00:43.400
unbelievable. You also get access to Sheila Gunn-Reed's show and David Menzi's show. So I hope
00:00:47.380
you do it. Okay. Here's the podcast. Tonight, a bizarre case study of the
00:00:55.660
media party manipulating the election campaign. It's September 17th, and this is the Ezra LeVant
00:01:01.360
show. Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:07.620
There's 8,500 customers here and you won't give them an answer. The only thing I have to say to the
00:01:13.180
government about why I'm publishing it is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:01:17.540
Yesterday, I told you about this guy, David Cochran. He's a government journalist working at Trudeau's
00:01:29.160
CBC state broadcaster. You know the type. Like Rosemary Barton. Just not even pretending to be a real
00:01:36.920
reporter. A government reporter. Cochran had spent days on the liberal campaign bus, but not asking any
00:01:44.620
questions. I mean, that's liable to get a CBC journalist in trouble. He literally asked no
00:01:51.380
questions at all for two days. Because no reporters on the liberal campaign bus were allowed to ask
00:02:00.100
questions for two days. What's the point of being on a liberal campaign bus if you're not allowed to
00:02:06.660
ask questions? Well, Cochran humiliated himself by defending Trudeau's silence. He said it was fine. He
00:02:14.120
said Trudeau was really busy. I mean, they were moving really fast. So that explained it. He was so
00:02:20.780
mocked for that comment that he actually deleted that tweet. I'm sorry I didn't manage to take a
00:02:26.120
screenshot of that one first. But you can see a trace of it in the reply to him by Norman Spector, who
00:02:32.400
repeated the phrase, they are focusing on rapid movement through writings on Saturday and Sunday.
00:02:36.960
That was Cochran's explanation. So to recap, you've got this utterly submissive
00:02:44.120
liberal government journalist at Trudeau's CBC state broadcaster. He's not just passively doing
00:02:50.540
pro-Trudeau stories. He's actually defending Trudeau's media conduct, as in Trudeau not taking
00:02:56.780
questions for days. He's defending that to other journalists. So he's actually indistinguishable from
00:03:03.340
the liberal press secretaries. He's making excuses for Trudeau. He's being passive aggressive to anyone
00:03:08.920
who is appalled by his submissiveness. It's really bad. And then this video clip surfaces of him
00:03:15.380
just utterly, utterly allowing himself to be treated like a good little puppy, a good boy, being rewarded
00:03:23.200
by his master. Take a look at this clip. This was on Twitter yesterday. David Cochran is the bald fellow
00:03:29.040
being a good boy. Trudeau is the guy giving him free food and a pat on the head and saying,
00:03:35.760
liberals always take care of the CBC good boys.
00:03:39.860
Yes, that's for you, David. This is for you. No, no, no, no, no.
00:03:44.040
That's for me. Hey, the Liberal Party always supports the CBC.
00:03:47.480
Now that video went viral on Twitter. It was so incredible. And then poof, it just disappeared.
00:04:00.720
Just like that Cochran tweet that has said, hey, you guys, stop being mean to Trudeau. He's been
00:04:05.820
rushing around. So he literally hasn't had time to answer a single question. Did you guys stop being
00:04:10.940
mean to Justin? That tweet just disappeared. And so did the Twitter video I just showed you.
00:04:18.160
Just deleted from Twitter. What happened? Well, in this case, it wasn't the CBC that nuked it,
00:04:24.860
that we know of. Global News apparently did. They're the ones who recorded it. You could see
00:04:31.100
the little logo on the bottom. Now, why would they delete that from Twitter? Don't they like
00:04:36.220
their work going viral? It had their logo on it. Isn't that great for them? I mean,
00:04:41.020
they weren't making any money off it, of course, but you don't tend to on Twitter. Everybody uploads
00:04:48.020
content and shares it for free. Why would Global take that down? Gee whiz, why would Global take
00:04:54.360
down their video that embarrassed Trudeau and the CBC that showed the cozy relationship between
00:05:00.100
the Liberals and the media? Why would Global take that down? I wonder why. Of course, Global happens to be
00:05:06.340
the same hard-hitting investigative team that asked Trudeau the shampoo question.
00:05:13.020
The one that the entire country wants to know. What shampoo do you use?
00:05:19.020
What a disappointing answer this is going to be. Whatever happens to be hanging around at the time.
00:05:25.060
Tom Clark's another good boy. Now, eventually, Global did upload a version of the clip again,
00:05:34.700
but it's strange. They uploaded one from a different angle, one that obscures the interaction a bit,
00:05:40.580
made it a little bit less obsequious, hid David Cochran a little bit. And of course,
00:05:45.780
the thousands of people who had retweeted the earlier video, that was all nullified. You go to any
00:05:51.100
of those retweets, it's just blank. So just a handful of people even saw the new version, this one.
00:05:58.620
That was still an excruciating interaction, but why did Global delete their first one? Why would
00:06:23.260
they do that? Why were they embarrassed by it? They published it. Well, let's play a longer clip
00:06:29.520
from Global of the interaction. I think this is the worst one of all.
00:06:33.740
Look at that, eh? The pure joy on the face of David Cochran, the good boy.
00:07:03.720
Hey, good boy. He felt loved like any good boy would feel loved because the sun prince was
00:07:10.080
shining down upon him that day. He was loved by his master, Justin Trudeau, not just with a smile
00:07:16.720
and a compliment, but Trudeau gave him something. It was a small token, but even the smallest token
00:07:23.000
from a royal prince must be cherished forever. Do you doubt that this little trinket is tucked away
00:07:30.900
in Rosemary Barton's hope chest hidden under her bed? Do you doubt that Paul Wells and Althea Raj
00:07:38.760
take this picture of them? Take it out from time to time and look at it and smile to themselves
00:07:44.840
when they're feeling down. Maybe run a bubble bath for themselves, a glass of wine, get in there and just
00:07:50.340
look at it. Look at this picture a little bit. Relax, put on some music. For a moment there,
00:07:58.520
they were with the cool kid. They were loved by royalty. Just for a moment. I think David Cochran
00:08:05.240
had the best day of his life yesterday. And he didn't even realize he was being manipulated,
00:08:14.220
laughed at, mocked by Trudeau. It's that pickup artist move he has. Trudeau close hugs, touches,
00:08:21.860
mauls, pats, gropes, any woman he wants to psychologically dominate. He'll even put his hand
00:08:28.680
on the bum of the governor general. What? Because she didn't know which way to walk without it.
00:08:34.080
She needed Trudeau's hand on her ass. Here's 19-year-old Bianca Andreescu being touched repeatedly
00:08:41.600
by Trudeau, a man of almost 50 years. Oh my God. Oh my God. That chest-to-chest hug. Put that last one
00:08:51.240
back up there. If this was your 19-year-old daughter, and this was nearly the last one,
00:08:57.660
a 50-year-old man who had just, look at that. Look at that. What the hell is that?
00:09:08.940
Now Trudeau wasn't close enough to David Cochran to do that. A full front-to-front hug at the moment.
00:09:16.940
He does do close hugs with men too. I mean, I have to say, this is a close hug.
00:09:24.500
And the one with Emmanuel Macron, that's a very close hug. Who greets another man like that? I think
00:09:31.960
it's weird. But he didn't do it right then with Cochran. If you notice, Cochran's hands were full
00:09:36.840
and there was a table in between them they couldn't embrace. So he used his actions and his words.
00:09:43.860
Trudeau gave a gift to Cochran, who took it and immediately ate it. He actually put his cell phone
00:09:49.440
away so he could eat it and show Trudeau just how grateful he was for the free poutine. He didn't
00:09:56.120
say thank you and put it down as an inappropriate gift to be taken from a partisan person he's
00:10:01.440
covering. No, no, no. He put his cell phone over. He rearranged it. He took it and immediately ate it
00:10:07.440
to seal the deal. I'm a good boy. I'm a good boy. I mean, why not? What's the difference
00:10:16.260
between taking 1.5 billion tax dollars for the CBC or taking a $5 poutine? They're both little
00:10:24.640
bribes. They're both trinkets from the prince. Cochran was just so lustily into it like a virgin
00:10:34.300
bride on his wedding night. But you know how Trudeau works. If he's dominant, he doesn't
00:10:43.460
like to be subtle about it. He rubs it in a bit. Like when those aboriginal protesters from
00:10:50.720
Grassy Narrows crashed his fundraiser. Remember that? It wasn't enough for Trudeau to dominate
00:10:54.800
and have them taken out physically handled. He had to rub it in. Thanks for your donation.
00:11:03.960
You and Rossi Narrows are suffering from Mercury poisoning.
00:11:07.620
Thank you. Thank you for being here. Thank you very much for your donation tonight. I really
00:11:14.080
appreciate the donation to the Liberal Party of Canada.
00:11:17.440
Yeah. He kept saying it. He got the crowd cheering with him, jeering. Those stupid aboriginals
00:11:25.320
from Grassy Narrows. Thanks for your donation, guys. Get out now. Or even when Trudeau was
00:11:33.180
explaining, remember this years ago? Remember he explained why in that boxing match almost
00:11:39.240
a decade ago with his aboriginal opponent, why he wanted to cut off the ponytail of him.
00:11:44.720
He wanted to rub it in, remember, to humiliate him. And he wanted everyone to be crystal clear
00:11:54.540
We're both known for our long hair on the hill. Let's say the loser gets a haircut. He resisted
00:12:00.680
back a little bit, you know, pointing out that hair has a cultural significance for First Nations
00:12:05.420
peoples. And I said, I know. That's why I proposed it. When a warrior cuts his hair, it's a sign
00:12:14.720
Yeah. That's what Trudeau did here. He wanted everyone to know who was the master and who
00:12:23.040
Yeah. Trudeau was saying, you're smiling, David Cochran. And I'm pretending to be friends with you.
00:12:30.040
But they're not friends. To Trudeau, Cochran's just a useful little pawn for the moment.
00:12:37.360
And Trudeau had to make sure that Cochran knew it. That Cochran was enjoying it. And I'm just
00:12:44.680
going to say, you're smiling, David Cochran. And I'm pretending to be friends with you, but
00:12:53.320
they're not friends. To Trudeau, Cochran's just a useful little pawn for the moment.
00:12:59.400
And Trudeau had to make sure that Cochran knew it. That Cochran was enjoying Trudeau's
00:13:08.000
beneficence. He's the giver. Cochran was just taking little gifts from Trudeau without any
00:13:13.620
shame. Look how happily he took it. Cochran just spent days defending how Trudeau was hiding
00:13:19.780
from journalistic questions. He utterly debased himself. He was literally defending Trudeau to
00:13:25.780
either journalists. And now he just took a little gift from Trudeau on camera. And he
00:13:30.560
immediately took a bite of it. Good boy on camera just to show his submission because he's
00:13:35.660
a good boy. But it's not enough Trudeau wanted to rub it in, point out how those liberals pay
00:13:43.320
off those CBC types. Thank you for your donation. That's how Trudeau works. Psychological manipulation.
00:13:50.100
It's why when people finally, finally fall out of love with him, oh, they fall hard. I mentioned
00:13:57.320
Paul Wells before. That photo of him and Althea Raj was when they were both deeply in love with
00:14:04.640
Trudeau. Althea Raj still is. That's why she's on the debate moderator panel. But Paul Wells ain't.
00:14:10.420
Yeah. Paul Wells has fallen out of love. He wrote this cover story, The Imposter.
00:14:14.640
It was really about Paul Wells and how he felt he was fooled. He was tricked by Trudeau. It stings,
00:14:22.500
doesn't it? David Cochran is still in love. Trudeau is psychologically manipulating him,
00:14:30.760
dominating him, lording it over him, rubbing it in. And Cochran doesn't even realize it.
00:14:37.760
Unlike Paul Wells, I don't think Cochran will actually fall out of love or at least admit it
00:14:41.200
because his job is 100% paid for by Trudeau. Unlike Paul Wells, whose job is only partly
00:14:46.520
paid for by Trudeau, Cochran is bought. Paul Wells was only rented. That's how Trudeau operates. I
00:14:55.740
wonder what the ordinary Canadian thinks of Trudeau, but also of Cochran and also of Global News trying
00:15:01.380
so, so, so hard to hide this whole thing from Canadian voters. Stay with us for more.
00:15:11.200
Welcome back. Well, I have to say, I think that the media is as much a story in this campaign
00:15:28.180
as the party candidates themselves. If you've had a chance to visit our website,
00:15:32.720
campaign2019.com, you'll see that we here at the Rebel think that taking on
00:15:38.360
the media establishment, especially the CBC state broadcaster, is just as important as
00:15:44.740
the partisan battle that Andrew Scheer or Maxime Bernier are waging against Justin Trudeau and
00:15:51.300
the Liberals. Joining me now is an interesting columnist. She works for one of the largest
00:15:56.520
media companies in Canada, Post Media, but she is very much one of us. And by that, I mean
00:16:02.060
an independent thinker, a dissident against the politically correct establishment, and
00:16:06.700
boy, does she get the lefties mad. That's all I need to know, to know that Sue Ann Levy
00:16:11.940
is my friend. It's great to see you. Thanks for coming into the studio today. Great to see
00:16:16.060
you. Great to see you. Well, tell me what you think of the election so far. In some ways,
00:16:21.220
all the parties got off to a stumbling start. I mean, Trudeau's campaign bus bumped into his
00:16:26.640
campaign plane. There were more revelations about SNC-Lavalin and the RCMP. I think everyone
00:16:33.960
sort of stumbled out of the gate, but it's been about a week now. How is it looking to
00:16:38.600
you, the candidates, and the media? Well, I think, first of all, I'll say the real
00:16:43.400
surprise in all of this is how thoughtful Andrew Scheer has been. And I've been a very harsh
00:16:47.580
critic of Andrew Scheer, that I didn't think he has been tough enough on the issues that consume
00:16:53.500
or concern Canadians, like illegal immigration, the economy, things like that. He's talked about
00:17:00.420
it, but he's not been forceful enough. Let's put it that way. But I've been listening to him over the
00:17:06.240
last week, and I think he's very thoughtful. He is not particularly passionate, but he's thoughtful.
00:17:14.760
And he's just a decent, kind man. And he comes across that way. And so he's been a pleasant surprise.
00:17:26.280
Can I interrupt you? And I'm sorry to do so. I mean, I wouldn't think that's the surprise,
00:17:32.420
because he's always been nice and kind in his style. But is what he's saying powerful enough
00:17:38.680
to get people's attention? Well, the problem is, as you said, the mainstream media is hell-bent
00:17:45.180
and determined to paint him as some sort of devil, complete with horns. So I don't think that he is
00:17:53.900
getting the coverage that he deserves. And, you know, if there was ever evidence, Ezra, of a media
00:18:02.040
double standard, boy, and I've been the subject of it many times, it is in this campaign. And I see
00:18:08.900
it already right out of the gate. Well, let me ask you one more question about Andrew Scheer,
00:18:12.860
because it's interesting to me, because I know you love talking about those issues that the rest
00:18:16.500
of the establishment doesn't. You talk about open borders immigration. You broke a lot of news about
00:18:21.920
these urban refugee camps in Toronto stashed away in the hotels. So, look, I don't think there's any
00:18:30.240
dispute that Andrew Scheer comes across as a nice guy. And I just, I want to know if he's been at
00:18:37.040
all inspiring or if his message is sharp enough. Because Mitt Romney was a nice guy. Yes. But that's
00:18:42.900
one of the reasons he got his clock clean. Yes. Well, listen, I, you know, I think he's thoughtful
00:18:48.260
and maybe nice is, you know, that is what he presented as when he ran as leader. But he is not
00:18:58.020
getting his message across as strongly as he could, because he needs to be more insistent,
00:19:04.020
more forceful. Look at what's happening close to the south of the border with Trump. You love him
00:19:09.120
or hate him. The media, you know, covers him. And I think he's very sharp in terms of portraying the
00:19:17.180
Democratic Party and the kinks in the Democratic Party, particularly those very anti-Semitic Congresswomen.
00:19:22.940
And he does it in a very sharp way. Andrew Scheer is almost too nice. And that's the problem.
00:19:31.020
Well, you know, I like your analogy. Trump really locked on to the squad. Yeah. And Ilhan Omar and
00:19:37.020
others to show how radical they are. Justin Trudeau has that same problem that the Democrats have.
00:19:41.800
There are some very anti-Semitic candidates. One has been dropped by the party, Hassan Ghiye.
00:19:46.460
But there's others that the liberals haven't dropped yet. Maybe I'm missing it. But so far,
00:19:53.000
it seems like the only opposition war room, opposition research war room, by that I mean
00:19:58.760
digging up embarrassing stuff on the other side. The liberals are going full tilt at it.
00:20:03.600
I don't see Scheer really zinging the liberals the way Trump zings the Democrats.
00:20:09.220
No. And you're absolutely right. So when I say nice, too nice. I think he's thoughtful.
00:20:14.880
What the surprise has been is that he's been, you know, I think he's very thoughtful on issues and
00:20:20.680
he knows his stuff. Problem is that their war room is not coming back with making people aware that
00:20:29.900
there are chinks in the armor of Justin Trudeau. And there is plenty, plenty of ammunition. My goodness,
00:20:40.100
and you know, the voters are very forgetful. You know that they only remember what happened
00:20:45.860
three days ago. Let me give you something that you and I were just talking about before we turned
00:20:49.780
the camera on. This young teenage sports hero comes to Toronto victory celebration and Trudeau there
00:20:57.900
mugging for the cameras. You can't blame Trudeau for mugging for the cameras. And I suppose the prime
00:21:02.460
minister, even in a campaign, it, I wouldn't object to him being there and trying to get a hold of her
00:21:09.740
buzz. But he physically, like he's a 48 year old man, 47, 48 year old man. And he's touching and close.
00:21:20.220
A 19 year old girl. And it just doesn't stop with the touchy, gropey, huggy, kissy, nose to like,
00:21:28.060
nose to nose this far away and hands on. I, I would never touch one of my kids friends, male or female,
00:21:36.220
because you never know what someone, like it's just, it's not even because. But he gets away with it.
00:21:39.980
Well, that's the thing. That's the thing that drives me crazy. I mean, it's, it's creepy, but it's
00:21:43.900
also for a normal person, it would be litigation or allegations. And he does it in plain sight. And
00:21:52.460
everyone around him says, Oh, um, I guess it's okay when you do it. And this is a 19 year old
00:21:59.980
girl who was clearly sort of squirming. Uncomfortable. And, and. Well, that's the media double
00:22:05.820
standard. So nobody. I mean, you mentioned that was Trump doing that. Holy moly. There would be an
00:22:11.100
inquiry, a hearing, whatever he'd be impeached, you know, calls to impeach him. That's the media
00:22:16.620
double standard that nobody points out in the mainstream media that that is inappropriate.
00:22:21.980
And he knows he can get away with it. Well, that's the crazy part. Let me ask you,
00:22:27.020
um, who, who's, who in the media has anyone? I mean, I love the Toronto Star. I think you're the
00:22:34.620
best paper in the country. You mean the sun, don't you? I apologize. I meant to say that.
00:22:39.500
I meant to say the star. I meant to say the Toronto sun. Of course, I meant that that's
00:22:45.260
where you're from. And it's the truth. Uh, geez, I don't know why I said the star. The star is really
00:22:49.500
the worst. Yeah. And, and they admit they're taking $115,000 a week from the federal government. So
00:22:56.620
I think they would be just as leftist, even if they weren't on the payroll, it comes naturally that
00:23:01.020
the sun is the toughest brawlingest newspaper in the country. And if I were to choose any newspaper in
00:23:07.740
the country to work for, that's culturally a fit for me. And I think a lot of our rebel viewers,
00:23:12.220
and I, I, it's replicated in other sun newspapers across country, Calgary Sun, great scrappy paper.
00:23:18.860
Other than the Toronto sun, is anyone called like, where are the feminists calling out Trudeau for the
00:23:23.740
gropiness? Where, where are the people who would follow up on SNC-Lavalin? There has been not a single
00:23:31.580
question put to Justin Trudeau in four days by any journalist about SNC-Lavalin and Jody Wilson-Raybould
00:23:37.900
saying the RCMP met with her. Not one question on this subject in four days. Last point, and I'm
00:23:44.780
throwing this all at you, but I'd like your response to all this. Where are the journalists? We saw one of
00:23:49.340
the liberals on the campaign bus, David Cochran is his name, actually defending Trudeau for
00:23:58.060
not asking questions, saying, oh, he's been really busy. And then look at this quick clip of the same
00:24:04.220
David Cochran smiling and taking a free poutine from Trudeau, laughing about it, accepting it, and
00:24:12.140
just going along with the Trudeau campaign pantomime instead of saying, thanks for the poutine boss,
00:24:17.020
but can you answer me a question about Jody Wilson-Raybould? Here, take a quick look at that clip.
00:24:28.060
He was joking. That was his comfort zone. He loved being one of the guys on the liberal campaign team,
00:24:55.500
that David Cochran. I'm not picking on him. They're all that way.
00:24:58.140
No, but that's the problem, Ezra. And as outsiders looking in, as we are, and I'm darn proud of it,
00:25:04.860
I must say, that is, you know, the fatal downfall of the media and the states, that they want to be
00:25:12.060
part of the A-team, and they perceive the A-team as being the Democrats, Hillary Clinton. They grossly,
00:25:22.540
And I think they're doing the same thing in Canada. And unfortunately, I'm watching the same
00:25:27.020
thing unfold, that they all want to be part of this so-called A-team. It's a lot easier. They're
00:25:33.180
lazy journalists, a lot easier to be part. You don't get any pushback. And you feel cool.
00:25:38.300
And you feel like you're just one of the guys. You know, that's the thing. You ask a tough
00:25:43.180
question of a politician, and their face changes immediately. And they put you down personally.
00:25:48.620
And I've had that happen many times. Well, I mean, it's a difficult thing to look a politician in
00:25:53.100
the eye this close and ask a question that you know pricks them. But that is one of the things
00:25:57.580
journalists have to do. Let me ask you about what I regard as the best news of the week. And I,
00:26:03.020
our viewers, I think, are split between Andrew Scheer, the conservative, and Maxime Bernier,
00:26:08.220
the ex-conservative PPC. I think, if I had to sum up our viewers, those who support Bernier say,
00:26:14.300
geez, I wish he wasn't a splittist. But he sure does elocute a lot of these issues, free speech,
00:26:20.380
political correctness, open borders immigration, taking on the theory of man-made global warming.
00:26:25.580
So they like his charm, his style, and his toughness on the issues. The Andrew Scheer supporters say,
00:26:30.940
look, Scheer may not be the most charismatic guy, but he's the only one who can beat Trudeau.
00:26:35.340
I'm halfway in between them. Can we morph the two together? Well, yeah. I think they should have
00:26:40.220
stayed together and being like a Batman and Robin kind of thing, or Robin and Batman. But I think
00:26:45.020
the best news of the week was that Maxime Bernier will now be in the official debates.
00:26:49.020
And I think that perhaps, or I hope, that it'll raise the issues that I've been bemoaning.
00:26:54.220
That's why I'm excited. About illegal immigrants, illegal migrants crossing the border. And God forbid,
00:27:00.300
you know, I have taken a lot of body blows for mentioning the word refugees and the impact that
00:27:04.780
they've had on big cities like Toronto and certainly out west as well. And Justin Trudeau's inability to
00:27:12.860
deal with the flow of migrants coming across the border. And I think that, you know, Andrew Scheer
00:27:20.140
seems almost afraid. Oh, he's not almost afraid. Paralyzed.
00:27:23.580
That was, you know, I should tell you, the last conversation I ever had with Andrew Scheer
00:27:27.420
was on our show. I asked him about immigration five times in a row. And he hated it and hated it.
00:27:33.740
He hated the fact that I had four supplemental questions. He never talked to me again.
00:27:38.540
And he, I know Andrew Scheer well enough to know that he's a conservative on these issues. But he
00:27:45.020
has made the choice that he'd never dare say that in public for fear of being devoured by the CBC.
00:27:50.300
That's why I like... But you're not playing to the CBC. And that's what he needs to learn.
00:27:55.980
He's never going to get support of the CBCers. Well, that's what's so weird is he's obeying them,
00:28:01.580
but he's not getting anything in return. They're not going easy on him. They'll never go easy on him.
00:28:05.660
They just love the fact he's surrendering in advance. Well, this is, this is the great,
00:28:10.060
you know, disconnect with Andrew Scheer that he doesn't understand. These are not his voters.
00:28:15.580
You've got to appeal, throw meat to the people that are going to vote for you. And the people who are in
00:28:20.220
the middle, who are swaying, and there are plenty of people in the middle who aren't sure. He's got to show
00:28:25.660
a tough face about these issues. And that is why Maxime Bernier being in the debates is wonderful
00:28:33.340
for the conservative cause because he will elevate these issues and maybe light a firecracker
00:28:38.860
under Andrew Scheer. My hope, and I've said this since the beginning when Bernier split away,
00:28:44.140
is that he would show that there, if you create this excitement around an issue, conservatives will
00:28:50.940
come there and maybe Scheer will say, oh, well, let me keep those voters from splitting away by
00:28:54.860
shoring up my own party. That's the ideal outcome. I mean, I don't like the splittism either,
00:28:59.420
but if Maxime Bernier will make Andrew Scheer get tougher, that's a win for everybody.
00:29:05.820
Well, listen, we're still in very early days in the campaign. We have yet to see the liberals truly
00:29:10.380
drop the gloves. And even worse, we have yet to see the 100 plus third party campaign groups,
00:29:18.140
environmental groups, the teachers unions, the government unions really deploy. I think it's
00:29:23.260
going to be brutal. Well, you know, just judging from the first week and just the childish little
00:29:29.260
petty nonsense that has come out of the Trudeau campaign about, you know, Scheer's connections with
00:29:36.060
so-called white supremacists. I mean, it's just, it's just the high school. It's really stupid.
00:29:41.740
Well, I mean, I think the CBC seems to be lapping it up. So, so far, mission accomplished.
00:29:47.260
Well, they're, they're, they're returning what they've got. They're, they're paying,
00:29:51.260
they're paying back what they, you know, the truth. Yeah. Well, Sue Ann, it's great to see you.
00:29:55.900
And you are, you and our buddy, Joe Warmington and Anthony Fury, outstanding columnists. They're
00:30:01.660
all at the Toronto Sun really. So you guys are the last bastion and I hope you stay strong. I know
00:30:07.420
there's a lot of pressure on you and on your bosses from the left to shut up and stop talking the way you
00:30:13.660
do. You're the last hope in what I would call the mainstream-ish media. I mean, the Sun is
00:30:19.020
pretty mainstream-ish. Yeah. Well, they've actually, now the latest thing is to go to the National Press
00:30:24.380
Council or engage in law for- Tattling. They're tattling. Yeah. Yeah.
00:30:27.740
Try and get you silenced. They can't convince you. They're just trying to tattle about you. Yeah.
00:30:31.340
Yeah. Well, keep up the fight and you've got friends here at The Rebel. Thank you very much.
00:30:34.700
All right. There you have it. Sue Ann Levy, just tough as nails. One of our favorite people.
00:30:39.740
I encourage you to follow her column in the Toronto Sun, along with our buddy,
00:30:43.500
Joe Warmington and others who fight for freedom over there. I'm so glad
00:30:48.140
that she's over there fighting. Stay with us. More ahead on The Rebel.
00:31:02.220
Hey, welcome back. On my monologue yesterday, Liz writes, McCaffrey didn't have to run from that CBC
00:31:08.380
reporter. Well, now, Liz, you could mean so many things by that. You could mean, well,
00:31:13.340
she just had to slowly walk, or you could mean she didn't have to leave at all. I'll take both
00:31:18.620
meanings of the word, but more to the point, I don't think that was a news story, except for the
00:31:24.220
fact that the CBC wanted it to be a news story. I wish they would run walk, shuffle, stumble, slouch,
00:31:30.460
whatever you want to call it, against Trudeau with all of his candidates' gaps. No luck there.
00:31:35.420
Paul writes, the media party was very biased in the past. Now they've taken it to the point where
00:31:41.100
they're destroying the last shred of credibility they had left. Well, you're right if you think that
00:31:46.780
the media now answers to its readers, its viewers, which is how it traditionally worked. People paid a
00:31:56.140
dollar for a newspaper. The money came from the people to buy the content, but no, no, no, no, no.
00:32:03.980
Now the audience is what's for sale. Facebook has told us, taught us that. YouTube, Google,
00:32:10.060
all the social media has taught us that you are what's for sale. And Justin Trudeau will subsidize
00:32:16.300
the media because he'll own them to get to the viewers so the remaining journalists in the legacy
00:32:24.300
media, they know who to answer to. They answer to Trudeau, not to their viewers. The viewers are what's
00:32:28.540
for sale. Tyson writes, you are on the right track. Your efforts are well placed. Go after the lying
00:32:36.300
media, get the truth out there. I teared up the day you announced your election strategy. This might be our
00:32:40.300
last chance. Wow, Tyson, I take that very seriously. And thank you for that. We're trying. We're out.
00:32:49.180
I mean, I just spoke to some of our reporters moments ago before I came in the studio here.
00:32:53.580
We're out there hunting. We're out there doing our best. And I hope in the next 34 days,
00:32:58.140
we'll live up to your expectations. Well, folks, that's our show for today. On behalf of all of us
00:33:03.660
here at Rebel World Headquarters, I want to tell you two things. First of all, we never take free poutine
00:33:08.540
from Justin Trudeau. And second of all, I want you to keep fighting for freedom while we still can.
