Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you, in which we look back at
00:00:05.200
some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favorite rebels. I'm your host, David Menzies.
00:00:11.100
Hey, you know all that personal protective equipment we're importing from China?
00:00:16.080
Guess what? Much of that PPE is substandard, and even more appalling, a lot of it is being made
00:00:24.260
by slave labor. Just will you hear what Sheila Gunn-Reed has to say on this one.
00:00:30.700
And welcome to the new normal on the health care front. People on elective surgery lists are being
00:00:36.600
kept out of hospitals for their own safety. Just one hitch. Those people, some of them at least,
00:00:42.880
are dying thanks to being denied much needed medical treatment. Andrea Humphrey will highlight
00:00:49.500
one particular tragedy regarding a relatively young man who died for absolutely no good reason at all.
00:00:57.780
And finally, letters. We get your letters. We get your letters every minute of every day. And I'll
00:01:02.900
share some of your responses regarding our video about the Afro-Indigenous Rising Collective. Yeah,
00:01:09.100
that's that hodgepodge group of anarchists and drug addicts and mentally ill people who turned
00:01:14.800
Toronto's Nathan Phillips Square into a no-go zone for three weeks. Well, they've taken their freak
00:01:21.340
show on the road, and they're now occupying Dufferin Grove Park. As the mayor simply shrugs his shoulders
00:01:27.380
and says, hey, whatcha gonna do? Those are your rebels. Now let's round them up.
00:01:37.800
First things first, friends, let me be perfectly clear so that YouTube doesn't take this video down.
00:01:42.880
I'm not at all giving medical advice. I'm not giving you advice about whether or not you need
00:01:48.500
to wear a mask. Wear one if you want to, or if you're forced to, or don't. Let's all just mind
00:01:54.460
our own business and take care of ourselves and make choices for ourselves. But for the love of God,
00:01:59.580
if you do choose or are forced to wear a mask, please, please make sure that mask is not from China.
00:02:05.980
Now, because you're smart, plugged in people, you probably already knew this much.
00:02:11.320
A number of European governments have already rejected Chinese-made equipment designed to combat
00:02:16.880
the coronavirus outbreak. Why, you ask? Well, look at this. Thousands of testing kits and medical masks
00:02:24.320
are below standard or defective, according to authorities in Spain, Turkey, and the Netherlands.
00:02:30.200
Dutch Health Ministry announced it had recalled 600,000 face masks. Dutch officials said that the masks
00:02:38.140
did not fit and that their filters did not work as intended, even though they had a quality
00:02:43.560
certificate. Huh. Now, Canada's not immune. Canada got some of those defective masks too,
00:02:50.260
over a million of them. Swabs also. The Canadian government bought them from China for medical use
00:02:55.940
after Justin Trudeau sent Canada's strategic supply over to China at the height of the pandemic.
00:03:01.340
However, the masks and swabs that came to us were either contaminated or not fit for medical use.
00:03:08.220
But friends, if you need it even more convincing that Chinese-manufactured masks are a terrible idea,
00:03:15.280
let the information I'm about to give you push you over the finish line. Look at this horrific
00:03:20.940
information in the New York Times. A Times video investigation identified Chinese companies using a
00:03:29.120
contentious labor program for Uyghurs to satisfy demand for PPE, some of which ended up in the
00:03:35.640
United States and other countries. Now, what's a Uyghur? If you don't know, please blame the mainstream
00:03:41.320
media because these people, they don't fit into the government's pro-China narrative, so they are
00:03:47.160
rarely spoken of. Chinese Uyghurs are a peaceful Muslim ethnic minority. They're ferociously persecuted
00:03:54.560
alongside Christians in China. So, let me get this straight. A preponderance of personal protective
00:04:00.480
equipment sourced in China is substandard? Oh, you don't say. And furthermore, much of it is made
00:04:08.460
via slave labor from a persecuted minority group? I know, just when you thought things couldn't get
00:04:16.260
any worse regarding the Wuhan virus comes this news. It is indeed shocking, but is it really all that
00:04:23.580
surprising? And joining me now with the latest made in China fiasco is Sheila Gunn-Reed. Welcome to
00:04:31.040
Rebel Roundup, my friend. Hey, David. Thanks for having me on the show. Always a supreme pleasure.
00:04:36.220
Sheila, this is scandalous. Crap product made via slave labor. My first question is this. How is it that,
00:04:45.560
for the most part, China is getting away with this? I mean, I just don't see the outrage anywhere that
00:04:53.060
this story should be generating. Well, that's the thing. We have to, I suppose, we don't have to,
00:05:02.980
but we rely on China to manufacture things because American manufacturing has all but dried up. Now,
00:05:10.060
to Trump's credit, he's doing his best to bring manufacturing back to the United States, encourage
00:05:15.860
the United States to limit their supply chain with China. And maybe that will be the one silver lining
00:05:24.740
in all of this, that at least, you know, the United States, for all of its buying power, will no longer
00:05:31.560
be buying many of the things that they used to buy from China. Canada, not so much. Canada still relies
00:05:39.300
quite heavily on China. And that's, of course, because China is Justin Trudeau's most admired
00:05:46.380
dictatorship. He doesn't see a problem, really, with doing business with a country that first
00:05:53.280
infected the world with a disease that caused our economies to shut down, lied about it,
00:06:00.760
to obscure our ability to react fast enough to keep it out of our countries. And a country that Justin
00:06:09.180
Trudeau sent our PPE back to, our strategic supply of PPE, sent it back to them so that they could use
00:06:16.300
it to fight the disease they already allowed to spread to us. And then they sold us defective
00:06:22.580
products. And when we complained about the defective products and sent two planes to pick up new products,
00:06:31.460
they didn't meet us on the tarmac with new supplies, and those planes came back empty.
00:06:35.700
And now, on top of all of this, it's uncovered that they are using the slave labor of persecuted
00:06:46.460
Uyghurs to manufacture this crap PPE. It's truly appalling. And where is the human rights advocates?
00:06:58.600
Where are the people who are protesting right now in the streets in North America about systemic racism?
00:07:05.700
And lobbying for mandatory face masks? Because I think there's a strong overlap between those two
00:07:12.620
groups, just power-hungry control freaks. Where are they on this? Because this is actual systemic racism
00:07:19.880
happening to the Uyghurs. Their children are being rounded up and sent to re-education camps. Residential
00:07:27.340
schools is what it really is, where they get to unlearn their culture, their religion,
00:07:31.600
and their ties to their family. And the parents, the moms are being sterilized by the Chinese state,
00:07:37.620
and the dads are being shipped off to manufacture products that the Western world has to buy from
00:07:43.940
China, because China infected us with the disease, and the Chinese state is enriched by the slave labor.
00:07:50.100
You know, Sheila, this is the fascinating element of your story that really intrigues me,
00:07:55.240
and it is the plight of the Uyghurs, and the almost silence in the world. I mean,
00:08:01.420
when you look at much of the Muslim world, they are obsessed with the Israeli-Palestinian situation.
00:08:07.900
We have, during normal times at least, major Western cities hosting Al-Quds rallies,
00:08:14.180
you know, where they, you know, this Iranian regime-generated thing to demand justice for
00:08:19.360
the Palestinians. We have Day of Rage, again, a pro-Palestinian cause. But what's happening in
00:08:24.900
that neighborhood is nothing compared to what's happening to the Uyghurs in China.
00:08:30.720
What is going on? Can you connect these dots for me, Sheila, so I can understand
00:08:35.840
why there is a lack of outrage regarding this minority?
00:08:40.440
Yeah, there's no comparison, because Israel, first of all, does not violate the rights of the
00:08:46.240
Palestinians. In fact, they protect the rights of the Palestinians. There are Muslim members of
00:08:51.240
the Israeli Knesset. They have equal rights in Israel, so there's really no comparison.
00:09:00.480
However, these Uyghur Muslims, they're the wrong kind of Muslims. Justin Trudeau will trip over
00:09:05.320
anybody to denounce anti-Muslim racism or bigotry. I mean, look at the hijab hoax.
00:09:13.300
He came out against the alleged snipping of a hijab of a little girl on her way to school by a,
00:09:22.520
quote, Asian man, and that was a hoax. He denounced that as a problem we all have with
00:09:30.040
anti-Muslim bigotry here in Canada, and it was completely fake. And yet, Muslim Uyghurs
00:09:37.480
are being ferociously persecuted in China, and you won't hear a peep about it from Justin Trudeau,
00:09:47.760
because China is more important to him than all those other social justice causes he claims to
00:09:54.460
care about. And when I say they're ferociously persecuted, I cannot stress that enough.
00:10:00.180
One of the least worst things happening to them is being sent to forced labor camps. Their organs
00:10:07.440
are harvested. They are parted out like old cars to rich Chinese people and people with connections
00:10:14.880
to rich Chinese people within the communist state officials. Their organs are being harvested for rich
00:10:23.280
people. I mean, it's really the worst of the worst of the worst. It's a genocide. It's happening
00:10:31.940
right now in China, and you can't get Justin Trudeau to say a word about it. It's much like
00:10:40.900
You know, Sheila, what I can't understand is the unspoken story when it comes to our prime minister
00:10:47.580
and our federal liberal government. I would have said going back to last month that the unspoken
00:10:53.880
strategy of these liberals is to give China a free pass. Don't say anything derogatory about China.
00:11:02.540
Don't say anything pro-Taiwan, because at the time there was the possibility of a UN Security Council
00:11:10.360
seat on the line, which we did not get. And of course, we would have needed China's support for
00:11:17.400
that. So now that that little bauble has been taken away, what is still preventing Trudeau and the
00:11:25.840
federal liberals from calling out this regime for their egregious behavior to the Uyghurs?
00:11:33.400
I think it's ideological. And, you know, for sure, I, like you, thought, well, maybe after the Security
00:11:41.500
Council seat is lost, that they will start taking a harder stance on China and stand with our allies,
00:11:48.040
because really, we're sort of alone amongst the five eyes. When it comes to our treatment of China,
00:11:54.220
we stand alone as the sort of the lone pro-China of the five eyes. But if you really want to see
00:12:03.200
how deep the Liberal Party of Canada has been compromised by the Chinese communists, please,
00:12:11.640
I cannot recommend it enough. And it's a book the Chinese communists don't want you to read because
00:12:17.160
they showed up to try to stop our book launch. I can't recommend Ezra's book enough. He goes into
00:12:22.800
such fine detail and meticulous detail about how the liberals have been compromised. Please go to
00:12:31.500
ChinaVirusBook.com and get it on Amazon while you still can. It was banned and then it was unbanned.
00:12:37.940
But based on the Chinese communist presence trying to stop our book launch just outside of Edmonton
00:12:44.860
this week, I bet the pressure's back on to Amazon to pull that book again. So if you can get it now,
00:12:51.260
go to ChinaVirusBook.com. Yeah, certainly the government is taking a pass on getting their
00:12:57.940
hands dirty with this issue. But Sheila, what about the media, you know, which is full of social
00:13:04.880
justice warriors and full of those campaigning against racism? You'd think this would be an
00:13:12.940
irresistible subject to go after. And yet, I almost never see the word Uyghur in a news story. So what is
00:13:23.780
causing this kind of self-censorship, I suppose?
00:13:29.320
You know, some of these news agencies, they like to take money from Huawei for ad buys. And that's
00:13:35.040
important. So Huawei is the high-tech surveillance arm telecom company of the Chinese state. And some of
00:13:41.660
these news media, they're struggling, deservedly so. And so they'll take ad buys from Huawei. But I think
00:13:49.220
some of it is ideological. I mean, they will report verbatim Catherine McKenna praising the Chinese
00:13:57.880
for their commitment to going green because they bought some, I don't know, electric buses or
00:14:04.620
whatever. In the meantime, they're just belching CO2 into the atmosphere in their coal plants,
00:14:09.960
if you care about that sort of thing. I really don't. I care more about actual pollution in
00:14:14.340
particular than CO2. But I mean, a lot of it is the liberals are pro-China and the media are liberals.
00:14:23.740
And so they report unskeptically on China. And then the other half of it is, you know,
00:14:31.160
Yeah. Catherine McKenna and her electric buses and her snowshoes when there's like
00:14:36.080
seven centimeters of powder on Ottawa streets. Unbelievable. Sheila, great commentary. And as
00:14:43.160
Sheila said, folks, China virus, there's the real deal right there. Buy it before they ban it again.
00:14:49.220
Thank you so much for weighing in on this very important issue, Sheila.
00:14:54.480
You too. And that was Sheila Gunn-Reed somewhere in the hinterland of northern Alberta. Keep it here,
00:15:00.160
folks. More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
00:15:03.040
An Albertan father was allowed to die after the lifesaving treatment he was told he needed for his
00:15:14.880
heart condition was deemed non-essential due to the COVID-19 lockdown. I'm Draya Humphrey for Rebel
00:15:22.120
News. And today I have a very sad story to tell you about an Alberta family who recently lost a much
00:15:29.640
loved family man. Two months ago, during the height of the pandemic on April 16th, Jerry Dunham took to
00:15:38.440
Facebook as he sat in the doctor's office. You see, he had just received the news of a decision that he
00:15:46.200
had no part in. And he told his Facebook friends and followers that a nurse told him that the surgery
00:15:52.600
he needed to get a defibrillator installed would not be happening. Why? Because Jerry's surgery was
00:16:00.280
deemed non-essential. Now let's look at the initial thoughts Jerry had and wrote on Facebook right
00:16:07.000
after what I assume was devastating news for him. So six months later or so, time for surgery and boom,
00:16:15.400
all non-essential surgeries postponed. I was basically told that the government is willing to risk my life
00:16:21.960
to save my life. Let me say that again. My government told me they're willing to let me die, which
00:16:28.840
according to them is for my own safety. Heart surgery apparently considered non-essential. Now I know
00:16:36.840
some say that's non-essential, but it's pretty dang essential to me. Now I'm told today possibly could be
00:16:43.560
a year or two. Jerry was foretelling his own death. Two months later, Jerry died at the Medicine Hat
00:16:51.640
Hospital leaving behind two little daughters, age six and nine, and a former wife, Krista Lambier,
00:16:58.280
who refers to Jerry still as her soul friend. The National Post reported that almost 200,000 surgeries
00:17:06.120
and other procedures, including cancer screening tests and clinical trials for experimental medicines,
00:17:11.240
were shelved indefinitely as hospitals braced for possible flood of COVID-19. And of course, we know
00:17:18.360
now, in fact, we've known for months now that the COVID-19 flood turned out to be a mere trickle,
00:17:26.440
that the hospitals never did descend into war zones. Heck, they're half empty. And meanwhile,
00:17:33.480
if you are on an elective surgery list, well, cross your fingers and pray to God for some divine
00:17:40.280
intervention because you might just need it. And joining me now to discuss this further is our
00:17:46.440
newest rebel rebel contributor, Drea Humphrey. Welcome to Rebel Roundup, Drea. Hi.
00:17:53.000
Well, Drea, I almost can't believe this story. Jerry Dunham dies because the treatment for his heart
00:18:01.320
condition is considered, quote, non-essential, end quote. But this relatively young man actually
00:18:09.080
ends up dying. And this is all due to COVID-19 precautions that prevented him from being
00:18:16.520
hospitalized for his own well-being in the first place. Drea, if this story weren't so tragic,
00:18:23.160
it might make for a Monty Python script. How did we get to this point?
00:18:27.320
Drea Humphrey. That's a good question. And this story is actually near and dear to me because it
00:18:32.680
was a huge red flag for me at the beginning of the lockdown that elective surgeries like this were,
00:18:41.160
in fact, deemed non-essential. I actually hit the street. Not like that. I hit the streets to protest.
00:18:47.560
I socially distanced. It was a socially distanced protest. I wore a mask and I said,
00:18:53.240
we need to open up surgeries and we need to open up them up fast. And of course, not all of them,
00:18:59.080
but ones like this. And then to hear what happened, you know, later on to people like Jerry,
00:19:06.040
it's just, it's thickening really in Canada. Yeah. And, you know, I think, Drea, there might be a
00:19:13.240
misconception out there what the term elective surgery means. Elective surgery doesn't mean
00:19:21.000
someone's waiting to get a nose job or something, you know, some cosmetic procedure.
00:19:25.960
That means they're on a list with potentially life-threatening ailments,
00:19:32.120
as clearly as this was the case with Jerry Dunham. So do you think maybe there is some
00:19:38.520
ignorance out there amongst the general populace that they have bought into this narrative,
00:19:44.760
of, oh, well, the hospitals are Wuhan virus war zones. We can't bring more people in there when
00:19:50.920
the reality is, as I said in the intro, Drea, they're half empty right now.
00:19:56.440
Yeah. And we've heard of nurses being laid off as well in areas of the hospital. But yeah,
00:20:02.920
I think that the wording of elective surgeries is a little bit, I don't want to say misleading,
00:20:09.240
because that's what it is. But if you're not really in the field, it would make sense that you
00:20:13.400
might think it's a nose job or something like that. But no, this is real people of all ages who
00:20:18.920
are at risk without the surgery. And were we not choosing to stay home and choosing to shut down
00:20:25.880
businesses and choosing not to see our friends and family to protect Canadians at risk? So why,
00:20:33.480
why then did we turn a blind eye to someone like Jerry?
00:20:36.680
You know, Drea, the other thing too, and I found this staggering to watch in your interview
00:20:44.040
with this gentleman's widow, was the fact that they were actually en route to classifying this
00:20:51.560
as a COVID-19 death, when it had nothing at all to do COVID. Well, actually, it did have something to
00:20:57.560
do with COVID. These idiotic policies around COVID prevented him from getting in to get his treatment
00:21:03.160
done. But what is what is going on there? What is the unspoken strategy in saying that he died
00:21:10.440
of the virus as opposed to what he really died from, which was cardiac arrest?
00:21:17.160
I can't answer that question. It's been a question I've been asking myself ever since I read on the CDC
00:21:23.480
website that doctors are to mark death certificates as COVID, whether it is presumed or assumed to be
00:21:34.280
a COVID-19 death. So how many of the cases have been assumed? And in this case, it wasn't an assumption,
00:21:41.720
because according to to her, according to her, it was actually proven he was tested and was found
00:21:51.560
negative for having COVID-19. And yet still, they were going to mark it as COVID-19. So
00:22:00.840
yeah, you know, Drea, I think and this is not just any kind of conspiracy theory or a hunch on my part,
00:22:08.280
I have interviewed an Ontario nurse and an Ontario doctor. We had to keep their identities hidden.
00:22:13.960
But they were of the position that this is all about ginning up the numbers, making this so-called
00:22:21.720
crisis look even worse than it is. Because technically speaking, you could be walking downtown Toronto
00:22:28.200
and a steel girder falls off a crane, crushes you. And in the autopsy, if they find you were infected
00:22:34.440
with COVID-19, that's how they're going to put it into the book. So my personal theory, Drea, based on
00:22:41.720
what these healthcare professionals have told me, it's just a sort of a strategy to instill even worse
00:22:50.840
fear into coping with this pandemic than what really exists. Yeah. And here we are months and months later
00:22:58.520
with very, very low death rates. We're still in a state of emergency. We still don't have parliament
00:23:05.640
sitting. And we're strengthening laws like masks in Quebec, mandatory masks in Quebec, Toronto and
00:23:14.040
Calgary now and counting, I'm sure. So what is going on? And why aren't more Canadians demanding answers to
00:23:22.040
stuff like this? Well, you know, I think when we get back to the old normal, and Lord knows when that's going to be,
00:23:29.560
there are probably going to be thousands of inquiries, Royal Commissions, the world over, examining how we
00:23:37.880
handled this virus. And I can tell you just from our reporting here at Rebel News, I think we made a huge
00:23:45.960
strategic error, as did other countries in shutting down the economy and causing all kinds of other
00:23:53.000
misery there. When we know in Canada, for example, Drea, 82% of the deaths are from the elderly in
00:24:01.880
long-term care facilities. That's where I think we should have sent our resources to not shut down the
00:24:09.880
economy. I mean, you're young, you're healthy, you have a six times higher chance of getting killed by,
00:24:16.840
getting hit by a car crossing your street in Vancouver than you do of the Wuhan virus. And yet,
00:24:22.760
look how we're treating our young people, closing the playgrounds, closing overnight camps, at least
00:24:27.480
here in Ontario. You know, Drea, I think it has been a shocking dereliction of duty on behalf of the
00:24:35.160
health officials and authorities on how we handled this virus, you know, from the get-go.
00:24:41.480
Absolutely. And we're being told there might be a second wave. And how is that going to be handled
00:24:47.960
if it's not being addressed now? I know Bonnie Henry out here in BC yesterday was just saying exponential
00:24:54.360
numbers are possible. But I don't know if you noticed, David, that recently there's been a shift of
00:24:59.560
focusing on the cases, the cases of the virus, rather than the death count. And I find that
00:25:07.320
that's an interesting stance that mainstream media seems to be taking now as well.
00:25:13.560
You know, Drea, you are 100% correct on that, especially with the US media, because everything,
00:25:19.400
including this virus, is channeled through an election filter. And right now you continually hear,
00:25:26.760
oh, the number of cases spiking in Texas and in Florida and whatnot. Well, yeah, they're spiking
00:25:34.920
because America is doing more testing than any other nation. Well over 40 million people are being
00:25:41.800
tested. And you're right, just because you're infected, especially if you're young and healthy,
00:25:47.160
if you're not elderly, if you don't have respiratory disease, you're not going to die of it. And they don't
00:25:52.760
report the deaths, which, you know, when you look at other nations, the US is doing very well. But
00:25:59.800
again, through the electoral lens of the mainstream media stateside, it's all got to be Trump's fault,
00:26:06.680
doesn't it? Yeah, everything, everything is always Trump's fault. Yeah. And I also saw that
00:26:13.240
another news, I wish I could remember which one, they said 85 infants tested positive for coronavirus.
00:26:20.920
So it's very important when you read the headlines and you read the articles, are they saying COVID-19
00:26:25.960
or are they saying coronavirus? There is a difference. And coronavirus is actually,
00:26:31.560
you can go to the CDC website and they will let you know that the common cold is a coronavirus.
00:26:37.320
So you have all these people thinking all these infants got COVID when you don't,
00:26:43.400
they never said that. They said coronavirus, which could be the common cold.
00:26:48.520
So I really hope that Canadians are waking up and doing more research when they're reading things and
00:26:55.320
really evaluating that against statistics and going to the website themselves. If you,
00:27:00.280
if you read the CDC website regarding all the COVID stuff with a critical mind, you can see that
00:27:06.360
there, there's a lot of things that need to come to light and we need explanations on that.
00:27:12.520
A hundred percent. Dre, I totally share your concerns. As always, the devil is in the details.
00:27:18.280
Great report, my friend. Heartbreaking though, to see that interview. Clearly, this was an absolutely
00:27:25.880
needless death. And thank you for bringing it to the attention of our audience. Much appreciated.
00:27:31.800
Thanks, David. You got it. And that was Drea Humphrey in Vancouver.
00:27:36.600
Keep it here, folks. More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
00:27:45.400
Well, folks, I am here at Dufferin Grove Park. That's near Bloor and Dufferin. Just a few minutes
00:27:51.480
away, by the way, from Foodbenders, that lovely eatery. And guess what? We were tipped off that
00:27:59.400
this is now where the Nathan Phillips Square occupiers, i.e. the people who make up Afro-Indigenous
00:28:07.960
Rising, this is where they have recamped. They were finally convinced to leave Nathan Phillips Square
00:28:16.760
last Friday after occupying the square for three weeks. They vandalized the square. They
00:28:24.040
put graffiti all over it. They urinated. They defecated everywhere. But you know what? I guess
00:28:29.320
that's the thing. Boy, there's a lot of angry people driving Mercedes down here today.
00:28:39.640
The horn's working. Have you tried the headlights? Oh, we're on a public sidewalk, sir.
00:28:49.640
Go. Rebel News is gone. Why is that, sir? We're on a public sidewalk.
00:28:54.120
You're a bunch of racist pieces of garbage. Oh, that's a nice Mercedes. AMG. I'm impressed.
00:29:00.440
How'd you get the coin for that? The point here, folks, is that here at Dufferin Grove Park,
00:29:05.640
the Afro-Indigenous Rising, has camped out illegally for at least a week. And it makes you wonder,
00:29:17.480
is this what we're down to in John Tory's Sanctuary City when it comes to illegal encampments? Is it a
00:29:25.400
game of whack-a-mole? We boot them off Nathan Phillips Square and they come to another public park, namely
00:29:33.160
Dufferin Grove. Welcome to Toronto's version of the summer of love. Actually, it's the summer of
00:29:40.920
squalor and seething hatred. That's more apropos. Although you have to wonder why Mercedes boy was
00:29:47.800
so upset. Looks like life has been good to him thus far, especially when you're driving around town in
00:29:53.400
an imported high-performance German automobile. But then again, being perpetually angry and incoherent
00:30:01.400
seems to be the hallmark of the left these days. In any event, here's what you had to say about
00:30:06.680
Toronto's traveling tent city roadshow and all the misery it brings. Jack writes,
00:30:12.840
Look at all those wolves in sheep's clothing, pretending you care about struggle while driving
00:30:19.160
around in a $100,000 car. What an absolute joke. And the tent city morons eat it up and think they're
00:30:26.760
on their side. They're not. They're wealthy and wouldn't know a damn thing what you go through.
00:30:34.520
So why would you let them be your allies? Screw that. Oh, Jack, there is a reason why the tent city
00:30:42.200
rank and file need the ilk of Mercedes boy to be their allies. It's this money. Who do you think
00:30:48.840
is cutting the checks for Afro indigenous rising so that the ringleaders can, oh, I don't know,
00:30:54.360
stay overnight at the Sheridan Hotel? The GoFundMe page for this group at last check was more than
00:31:00.120
$149,000. So yes, Toronto champagne socialists play a vital role indeed when it comes to the
00:31:08.520
Department of Useful Idiots. Robert Tows writes, Why are woke people so unhappy, violent, angry and
00:31:17.400
anti-freedom of speech all the time? Why would I ever want to be part of their reality? Yes, it's kind of
00:31:23.960
like they're the real life versions of the Ben Stiller character, Mr. Furious from the 1999 movie
00:31:31.000
Mystery Men. By the way, if you haven't seen that flick, you really should, folks. It's a hilarious
00:31:36.120
parody of the superhero genre. And the so-called superpower of Mr. Furious is that he just gets
00:31:43.240
really, really mad. But he doesn't do anything except stand there and yell and scream. Mr. Furious
00:31:51.560
would be the perfect mascot, mascot, I should think, for the far left of today. Music Sing Live
00:31:58.600
writes, Racist garbage! The entitled man screams from his Mercedes-Benz. And yet again, Music Sing Live,
00:32:07.000
this unhinged nut is unable to provide one single solitary example regarding the racism he's screaming
00:32:15.480
about. The Goulom writes, I am a Mercedes owner and don't like when fellow Mercedes owners act like
00:32:23.400
Audi drivers. It's a shame. Hey, Goulom, it could have been much worse. He could have acted like an
00:32:30.440
Infiniti driver. Linda Wheatley writes, Lots of tents. Where are the pretend protesters? Likely at a hotel.
00:32:38.520
Time for a new mayor who will enforce the law. Yes, the ringleaders stay at the aforementioned
00:32:43.960
Sheridan, where rooms start at $277 per night. As for enforcing the law in Torrianto, sorry,
00:32:52.440
this is how we roll in a sanctuary city these days. Co-host Layer writes, Dude gets a $900 fine
00:33:00.200
for sitting alone on a bench in an empty park. But these crack tenters are allowed to commandeer an
00:33:06.440
entire public park yet again and fill it with garbage for taxpayers to clean up. Well, Co-host Layer,
00:33:13.560
these days the unofficial slogan of Toronto is penalizing the makers, rewarding the takers.
00:33:20.520
But not everyone was a fan of this report. Gary W. writes, Where David Menzies get the nice expensive
00:33:28.520
suit from? Was it from We Charity? Okay, grammatically incorrect, but I think Gary is trying to paint me as
00:33:35.480
a hypocrite for pointing out the supporters driving high-end cars when I'm supposedly wearing an expensive
00:33:42.600
suit. Well, that suit is actually about eight years old and believe me, I didn't get it from the Hugo Boss
00:33:48.280
shop. But folks, this is the same Gary W. who docks me in the comment section, publicizing my home
00:33:55.240
address and telephone number. Now, why would you do that, Gary? To hopefully generate harassment toward
00:34:01.880
my family? But folks, this is how the progressive left operates today. They are so full of visceral
00:34:09.720
hatred, and yet they are so completely unable to articulate their positions. And all the while they
00:34:16.680
chant, love, Trump's hate, yet they are so quick to resort to intimidation, threats, and outright
00:34:24.760
physical violence. Gee, whatever happened to classical liberalism? Well, that wraps up another edition of
00:34:32.040
Rebel Roundup. Thanks so much for joining us. See you next week. And hey, folks, never forget, without risk,
