Transcript

00:00:00.000 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you, a show in which we look
00:00:19.900 back on the very best commentaries of the last week from your favorite Rebels.
00:00:24.640 I'm your host, Sheila Gunn-Reed, filling in for the intrepid David Menzies as he's out
00:00:30.600 on the road, chasing all the election news wherever he might find it.
00:00:36.460 Well, Prime Minister Rachel Dolezal, I mean Justin Trudeau, has a bit of a fetish for wearing
00:00:42.980 blackface. We've seen at least three instances surface from his past after Time Magazine ripped
00:00:49.700 the band-aid off the blackface scandal. Now, as the news was breaking, our Kian Bexty hit the
00:00:55.220 ground running to find a Liberal candidate in Calgary to ask her about Trudeau's peculiar
00:01:00.560 affinity for racist costumes and culturally insensitive performance art. Kian joins us
00:01:05.760 to talk about his confrontation with Nirmala Naidoo, a woman who once scolded Conservatives
00:01:11.040 as racist just a few short months ago. Then in other racist Liberal candidate news, the
00:01:18.180 Liberals are running an unapologetic anti-Israel 9-11 truther in a Montreal riding. Your regular
00:01:25.620 host in the big chair David Menzies hopped a flight, rented a car, and started doing some
00:01:30.240 real shoe-leather journalism to try to find this conspiratorial fellow. He joins us to tell
00:01:35.860 us all about his mission to find this Liberal Bin Laden apologist. And finally, your letters
00:01:42.540 and messages about what you think of our exciting new website trailer that you absolutely must
00:01:49.860 see. Those are your Rebels, let's round them up.
00:01:53.000 Hi, Nirmala. My name's Kian. I think the last time we met was at Anne McGrath's campaign
00:02:05.600 office. Would you be able to tell me, should Trudeau resign given the fact that he wore
00:02:12.460 blackface? He wore blackface. How do you feel about that? As a woman of color, does it insult
00:02:20.040 you? Nirmala, just months ago you said we shouldn't be supporting racists. Today news came out that
00:02:34.100 Justin Trudeau wore blackface in 2001. Should he resign? As a woman of color, does it faze you that
00:02:42.900 your leader is such a blatant racist? Does it faze you at all, Nirmala? Nirmala, people want to know.
00:02:52.860 Well, Nirmala didn't want to answer any questions, and I understand. She must be horrified by the
00:02:58.940 actions of her leader, Justin Trudeau. It's despicable what he did, and I imagine Nirmala feels just
00:03:05.600 betrayed. Now, back during the Alberta election, that Liberal candidate you just saw there was working
00:03:11.180 with the NDP to get famous communist candidate Anne McGrath elected. Now, back then, Nirmala sure
00:03:18.180 had a lot to say about conservatives leveling accusations of racism against them on camera
00:03:23.520 with complete ease. However, now when real tangible photographic evidence of Justin Trudeau
00:03:30.480 being a total racist has surfaced, well, now the cat has Nirmala's formerly wagging tongue.
00:03:35.960 Joining us now is our roving reporter, Kian Bextie, who scared Nirmala into stunned silence. Hey,
00:03:43.220 Kian, welcome to my first kick at the can of Rebel Roundup.
00:03:47.300 Thanks for having me, Sheila.
00:03:49.260 Yeah, I wanted to talk to you about Nirmala because she sure had a lot to say back in Anne McGrath days.
00:03:58.500 She had no problem calling anybody basically to the right of Chairman Mao a racist, and yet,
00:04:05.720 when there is an actual evidentiary racist in her midst, cat's got her tongue.
00:04:11.860 Yeah. Yeah, she was quite scared to talk to me, and I understand why. I mean, last time she spoke with me,
00:04:19.300 she very directly endorsed a communist candidate, and I'm sure there was some personal blowback
00:04:24.400 on Nirmala. There certainly was for Anne McGrath. As you know, she lost her election after we published
00:04:30.600 that groundbreaking report that, for some reason, the mainstream media didn't want to publish.
00:04:34.880 We published that she was a commie. We published that she had widespread support from the leftist
00:04:39.360 political establishment in Calgary, including Nirmala Nadoot, the candidate, liberal candidate
00:04:44.700 in Calgary Skyview that is replacing Darshan Kang, who had sexual harassment or assault.
00:04:50.700 I can't remember which one it was. Harassment. Lots of it. Yeah, so sexual harassment allegations
00:04:56.900 were leveled against him, so the liberals thought they would replace him. Well, they just replaced him
00:05:01.140 with someone who sympathizes with the communist plight, and also someone who can't condemn racism.
00:05:08.100 She said, yeah, I'd rather support a communist rather than a racist, and then it turned out instead of
00:05:13.460 rather than, it just turned out to be she supported a communist, and then she supported a racist,
00:05:18.520 as we see with Justin Trudeau. He is absolutely a racist. He is our prime ministerial, relishing in
00:05:25.520 the legacy of slavery, laughing at African-Americans, African-Canadians, I suppose it is.
00:05:31.320 It's despicable, and Nirmala, if she had any integrity at all, I'm sure she's watching this,
00:05:35.860 Nirmala, you should come out and condemn your leader. That's what you should do.
00:05:39.580 Yeah, you know, what was really funny, too, is because when she first saw you with the camera,
00:05:42.880 she was sort of eager to talk to you, and then when she got a little closer, she's like,
00:05:45.840 oh, no, no, I'm not talking to you, and she clammed right up, but it was pretty clear.
00:05:50.740 She didn't expect any journalist to come around and bother her, and none of them have, except for you,
00:05:58.140 and I think that says a lot about the level of sycophancy in the media surrounding this liberal scandal.
00:06:04.320 They're already, I saw Katie Simpson of the CBC asking Andrew Scheer how long he knew about this,
00:06:12.900 as though it were some sort of politically timed scandal, some conspiracy from the Conservatives.
00:06:20.160 Anything to deflect away from the Liberals?
00:06:23.280 Yeah, absolutely, that's exactly the case.
00:06:25.700 These people who are high on Putin are just so desperate to turn this on to Scheer,
00:06:31.380 and it's not just the publishing media, it is social media as well.
00:06:38.020 I mean, maybe I'll send you the image of it so you can throw it up on the screen.
00:06:43.740 You know what was trending this morning, Sheila?
00:06:45.840 It was hashtag Scheer hypocrisy.
00:06:49.120 Like, Andrew Scheer is a hypocrite that we should be paying attention to right now.
00:06:53.520 I disagree.
00:06:54.500 I think that there is one hypocrite that is making news right now, and it's Justin Trudeau.
00:06:58.520 He's a hypocrite on the diversity file.
00:07:01.000 Clearly, he thinks that African Canadians are a joke.
00:07:04.180 He's a hypocrite on the feminism file.
00:07:06.340 After he fired Jody Wilson-Raybould, it was absolutely clear that he was only a radical third-wave feminist
00:07:12.080 when it suited his political aspirations and goals.
00:07:15.580 And he's also a hypocrite on the ethics and transparency file.
00:07:18.780 He said that Stephen Harper should sit under and be grilled under oath on the ethics committee
00:07:24.520 after some minor hiccup in his government.
00:07:27.500 And after the entire SNC-Lavalin scandal, after Trudeau was asked to testify under oath
00:07:34.660 at the ethics committee, he was just like, yeah, I'm just not going to touch that one
00:07:38.000 with a 10-foot pole.
00:07:39.100 So he's clearly the hypocrite.
00:07:40.520 And Twitter's trying to push this sheer hypocrisy trending is just a joke.
00:07:45.800 You know, it seems as though Trudeau's governance over the last four years has been an exercise
00:07:52.040 in personal therapy as opposed to the proper way that you should run a country.
00:07:58.800 M-103 was making amends for his performance as a sultan or, you know, dressing up as an Arab.
00:08:06.380 His attacks constantly looking back at Stephen Harper is just a way to deflect away from his own character.
00:08:14.900 This preening about his feminism is just a distraction from the way he treats the women around him,
00:08:20.740 powerful or otherwise.
00:08:22.500 Now, you've got a petition.
00:08:24.160 And actually, you're on the ground in Vancouver right now.
00:08:26.540 But I want to talk to you about your petition, because by the time people see this video of us together,
00:08:31.820 your petition will be live.
00:08:33.400 Why don't you tell us about that?
00:08:34.340 So you're right.
00:08:35.980 I am standing in Vancouver right now.
00:08:37.700 Actually, right behind me is Trudeau's elitist private school.
00:08:41.660 They charge $23,000 a head per student.
00:08:45.560 It really goes against, like, it's not on message at all.
00:08:48.660 I mean, this blackface stuff isn't on message, but this private school is definitely not part of Trudeau's public persona,
00:08:55.480 public school persona.
00:08:56.840 And sorry, you might be hearing cars everywhere.
00:08:59.280 Everyone's sort of driving.
00:09:00.280 All the parents are driving in with their Lexuses and their Teslas and their Audis.
00:09:04.480 Picking up their kids as school closes.
00:09:06.300 So hopefully the audio is okay.
00:09:07.940 But you're right.
00:09:08.600 We do have a petition.
00:09:10.700 It is – it's basically calling on Trudeau to resign.
00:09:13.880 It's www.trudeaemustresign.com.
00:09:16.720 I encourage everyone watching this to go there and sign it right now and share it with all of your networks.
00:09:22.360 Whether or not Trudeau resigns, that's his decision.
00:09:25.440 The reason why we are publishing this petition is because – of course, we've asked Trudeau to resign many times.
00:09:31.760 But now it has come to a point where Justin Trudeau's actions and his ability to maintain his elite position in Canada's natural governing party and indeed in the – as the head of government, it's reflecting on us now as Canadians.
00:09:50.020 The world is watching.
00:09:52.700 And as we allow Trudeau to stay in these positions of power, it reflects on us and we bear the responsibility for keeping him in this position.
00:10:01.400 We look like racists to people in Sweden and people in the United States.
00:10:06.120 Donald Trump must just be laughing uncontrollably at this.
00:10:10.960 Everyone in the world is laughing at Canadians.
00:10:13.740 It is unfair to us that our prime minister is reflecting on us.
00:10:19.400 His history is just so despicable and deplorable that he just has to resign.
00:10:24.800 If they go to www.trudeaemustresign.com, they'll be able to sign the petition.
00:10:29.820 And bonus, they'll be able to pitch in a few bucks to help us because we have a special project we're working on.
00:10:34.660 We are going to put billboards up on trucks around the country, in cities, and wherever Trudeau goes, hopefully, depending on how many people pitch in.
00:10:44.000 And we're going to just be displaying his past.
00:10:46.680 He's so happy to do that with Andrew Scheer and pretty much any opponent who is messed up.
00:10:51.680 That's what the left does, right?
00:10:52.940 They highlight errors in judgment from many, many decades ago.
00:10:57.720 Well, in fact, this was just 18 years ago.
00:10:59.380 It wasn't that long ago.
00:11:00.340 Trudeau's quite young still.
00:11:01.860 And he did this when he was 28, 29.
00:11:03.680 He should have known better, obviously.
00:11:06.060 So we're going to publish this on billboards around the country if people go to www.trudeaemustresign.com.
00:11:12.600 Well, I think that's fantastic.
00:11:14.460 You know how I love those billboard trucks.
00:11:16.940 Kian, you know, there's a great irony in Trudeau living by the sword and dying by the sword.
00:11:23.120 Kian, thanks so much for Skyping into the show.
00:11:25.660 I know it's raining where you're at.
00:11:27.640 Yeah.
00:11:28.600 Well, thanks for having me, Sheila.
00:11:29.980 I appreciate it.
00:11:30.720 You got it.
00:11:31.260 That's Kian Bexty from B.C.
00:11:33.000 More up next after the break.
00:11:39.780 Well, lo and behold, the newly minted candidate here in Pierre Fons-Dollard, Samir Zubari.
00:11:47.920 He, too, it's been discovered, has a history of making anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli comments.
00:11:56.560 For example, he's a supporter of the BDS movement.
00:12:00.420 He believes Israel is an apartheid state.
00:12:03.500 He is a supporter, naturally, of Omar Khadr.
00:12:08.080 And he's also a bit of a 9-11 conspiracy theorist, saying the jury is still out as to whether or not Osama bin Laden had anything to do with the tragic events of that day.
00:12:19.840 Now, he's made himself extremely scarce from the media, including the mainstream media.
00:12:26.320 But he has been posting on Facebook.
00:12:28.960 And interesting, what he said about these allegations about him is that it was all a distraction tactic by the Andrew Scheer conservatives who are hoping to distract the electorate from picking up on the fact that his party has ties to far-right extremism and white supremacism.
00:12:54.660 Oh, yes, apparently it's the conservatives who are the ones playing footsie with the alt-right, despite the fact that this liberal candidate has a lot of the same views as the alt-right with regard to the state of Israel, wouldn't you say?
00:13:08.840 Joining me now is the usual host of Rebel Roundup, David Menzies, to discuss this liberal's trutherism and why the mainstream media seems to give all these liberals a pass when their real alt-right tendencies are eventually uncovered.
00:13:24.440 Hey, David, welcome to your own show.
00:13:28.240 I know, I feel like I'm in an alternate universe.
00:13:31.220 Right now, I'm out in British Columbia with Kian Bexty.
00:13:34.600 We're on a road trip like Thelma and Louise.
00:13:37.040 Thank goodness we're not jumping a 64 Ford Thunderbird and the Grand Canyon's nowhere in sight.
00:13:42.760 But I'll try to answer your questions as best as I can, Sheila.
00:13:46.900 David, there seems to be, as you pointed out in your really excellent commentary, a bit of a pervasive pattern of anti-Semitism and alt-right sentiments kicking around the Liberal Party.
00:14:00.180 For example, you mentioned that one candidate in Montreal, I think he's an imam, Hassan Gillette.
00:14:06.420 The Liberals were going to keep him and they were working on a damage control strategy to deal with him because for the Liberals, the problem doesn't really seem to be the anti-Semitism.
00:14:17.540 Rather, the problem is people finding out about the anti-Semitism.
00:14:21.540 That's really when they turped Gillette.
00:14:23.780 And they knew, B'nai B'rith told them months ago, and B'nai B'rith got tired of keeping the secret.
00:14:30.980 Yes, indeed, Sheila.
00:14:32.140 And as soon as that did break in the mainstream media about the imam, Hassan Gillette, he was within 24 hours turfed.
00:14:45.340 And some people would say, well, listen, you can't criticize the Liberals.
00:14:49.820 They did the right thing as fast as they could.
00:14:52.260 But you're quite right.
00:14:54.880 They knew this or they must have known this.
00:14:58.280 And they were just hoping that it never got out in the mainstream media, much like, oh, I don't know a certain famous leader who likes to put brown and black makeup on his face during certain festifications.
00:15:14.060 You know, it's not that it happened.
00:15:16.640 It's that everything's A-OK as long as the glare of publicity is not shone upon those odious acts.
00:15:26.260 Yeah.
00:15:26.520 And, you know, you went out to Montreal to try to find this 9-11 truther candidate.
00:15:31.240 Now, he says now he he believes that bin Laden is responsible for 9-11.
00:15:37.680 But that's not what he was saying just a little while ago.
00:15:39.780 He said that's up for debate.
00:15:43.120 But you can't find him.
00:15:45.200 You can't find him.
00:15:46.020 He's basically gone into hiding.
00:15:47.720 And we're the only people frustrated by this because, again, we're the only people asking the questions.
00:15:55.880 Well, you know, Sheila, in fairness, I know the Montreal Gazette reporter, she was also trying to locate him.
00:16:03.640 And there's there's something called the West Island blog there.
00:16:07.460 They were trying to locate him.
00:16:08.980 But it's absolutely fascinating and it speaks to a puzzle I can't quite figure out when Mr.
00:16:17.240 Guy's, you know, odious opinions of Israel and his support of a terrorist came into prominence in the mainstream media.
00:16:26.380 People heard about it.
00:16:27.980 The liberals threw him under the bus, you know, faster than you can shake a stick.
00:16:32.980 But when this fellow's past came out and much of it is in the same vein, actually, you know, you know, you talk about this bizarre 9-11 conspiracy theory in which bin Laden might not have been to blame.
00:16:48.120 So who's really to blame?
00:16:50.240 You can fill in the, you know, connect the dots there, you know, about defunding the Concordia Jewish Club when he was part of the student council there, being a proponent of the BDS movement.
00:17:02.560 Which is absolutely hateful anti-Semitism, Sheila, because at the end of the day, this is about strangling Israel economically to bring about your crazy form of social justice.
00:17:16.100 And there's something else, you know, I'm forgetting in his litany of statements and claims.
00:17:23.920 But this time around, the liberals have no problem.
00:17:28.560 Now, I've heard through the grapevine that this fellow is a personal friend, or not a personal friend, but the choice of Justin Trudeau.
00:17:39.260 And maybe that has some bearing.
00:17:42.320 And you are right.
00:17:43.420 He's gone underground.
00:17:44.920 I was in Montreal for a good 48 hours.
00:17:47.320 I was looking for him.
00:17:48.360 Other members of the media were looking for him.
00:17:50.080 Basically, the statement from his camp is that whatever he said on his Facebook account, that's his press conference about becoming the new candidate in Pierre Fons-Dolarad.
00:18:05.840 And, again, I wish I had a better idea of why Guyet gets thrown overboard.
00:18:14.540 But this guy gets a free pass.
00:18:30.560 But, nevertheless, the bigger question is this.
00:18:34.120 Why is it that the Liberal Party of Canada, the party of tolerance, the party of diversity, you know, love, Trump's, hate, all those endless cliches we hear from Justin Trudeau, why does it have this nasty little habit of attracting, in this case, you know, Muslim candidates who really, really don't like Jews and Israel?
00:18:59.500 It's absolutely baffling.
00:19:01.140 Well, and I'm torn between pity and disgust for this Liberal candidate's Jewish colleagues.
00:19:08.740 Pity because they are put out there by Justin Trudeau as the face of the Jewish community, the Jewish Liberal voter.
00:19:17.680 And at the same time, they stand there silently when Justin Trudeau does things like refuse to move the embassy to where it belongs in Jerusalem.
00:19:29.540 Returning the funding to the Palestinian refugee agency that's tied to terrorism against the state of Israel.
00:19:37.140 Forgetting to commemorate the Jewish lives lost in the Holocaust, in a Holocaust commemoration.
00:19:44.840 And, you know, they're, they really should say something.
00:19:50.420 I don't know if they're not saying it to the leader.
00:19:52.460 I think maybe they're just happy little drones and happy for the jobs they have.
00:19:56.500 But, I mean, it is on them to express disgust to their leader about carrying these sorts of candidates.
00:20:04.640 And hand-selecting them, hand-selecting them, as you pointed out.
00:20:08.340 What does this guy have?
00:20:09.360 How many pictures of blackface does this guy have?
00:20:12.700 You know, indeed.
00:20:14.500 And then maybe there's, I don't know, Sheila, a constituency of left-leaning Jews that give this a pass.
00:20:24.340 And I say that because just last night in Toronto, I was at an all-candidates debate for the Eglinton Lawrence riding in Toronto, in which four candidates showed up.
00:20:34.000 The Green, the NDP, the Liberal, the Conservative.
00:20:36.700 And I can tell you that the candidate that got the most applause and the longest applause for things he was saying was, indeed, the incumbent Liberal, Marco Medicino.
00:20:50.420 And I tried to corner him on camera asking him how he felt about Samir Zuberi and his odious anti-Semitism.
00:21:02.320 And, basically, I got, you know, just a non-answer.
00:21:05.100 He wouldn't address them by name.
00:21:06.780 You know, he's proud of the Liberal Party, how they have a vetting process to get rid of the haters.
00:21:11.700 Except, apparently, for this guy.
00:21:13.560 But I thought, I'm in a synagogue, which presumably most of the audience is Jewish.
00:21:19.520 The theme of the debate was issues affecting the Canadian Jewish community.
00:21:25.160 And this liberal is getting, like I said, the most applause, Sheila.
00:21:29.900 So, hey, listen, it's a democracy.
00:21:33.580 If that's who you want, that's who you're going to get.
00:21:36.160 But I don't think if you are a Canadian Jew that the Liberal Party is going to do you any favours with the direction in which they're going today.
00:21:47.220 No, I mean, but the Liberal candidate you confronted, I'm sure, I mean, we've seen.
00:21:54.600 That's the sort of line that they're taking when candidates are being confronted now out there about Justin Trudeau's blackface.
00:22:02.400 So, I mean, they're getting really good at cognitive dissidence.
00:22:07.240 Yeah, I mean, I even love how brownface and blackface has been reimagined as makeup.
00:22:16.500 They start getting makeup, they're saying.
00:22:19.720 Like, to me, Sheila, makeup, you know, is like lipstick and eyeliner.
00:22:25.840 You know, the stuff Lady Menzoid puts on it.
00:22:27.760 And, of course, you're low.
00:22:29.800 And makeup, I mean, that is perverse to call blackface and brownface makeup.
00:22:37.660 You know, I can't imagine going to Hudson's Bay to the Maybelline counter where you ladies buy your makeup and go, yes, a quarter blackface, please.
00:22:47.320 I'm going to the Arabian Nights Gala at the West Point Grey Academy.
00:22:52.720 Yeah, I'd like some cheek pinkening makeup.
00:22:55.660 It's called blush.
00:22:56.460 Well, David, I think I've taken up enough of your time.
00:23:00.460 You're out there in B.C. chasing the blackface story.
00:23:04.640 I want to thank you so much for trusting me with the show while you're out there.
00:23:08.100 I don't want to burn the place down.
00:23:10.820 Oh, thank you so much, Sheila, for filling in.
00:23:13.140 I really appreciate it.
00:23:14.400 You know, this is an important story.
00:23:16.360 It's an international story.
00:23:18.420 And we're going to keep at it.
00:23:20.540 And at the very least, try to find out one answer to one pertinent question.
00:23:25.480 Just how many times has Justin put on blackface and brownface?
00:23:31.360 Like, really, Sheila, what is the over-under?
00:23:33.820 I think for the football game, the Bills game on Sunday, it's 38.5.
00:23:39.500 Has Justin Trudeau put on blackface more than 38 times?
00:23:43.340 I'm wondering.
00:23:44.560 I'm just scratching my head over that.
00:23:46.940 I think blackface is going to be the least worst thing he's done.
00:23:52.180 I think.
00:23:52.920 I think there's a lot of terrible things to come out now that the Band-Aid is ripped off.
00:23:56.720 But that's just my prediction.
00:23:59.340 David, thanks so much.
00:24:01.160 That's David Menzies reporting from British Columbia.
00:24:03.560 Keep it here for more Rebel up next after the break.
00:24:06.720 The mainstream media has no interest in telling you the truth.
00:24:16.140 We have respect for journalists.
00:24:17.460 They ask tough questions, and they're supposed to.
00:24:19.300 What shampoo do you use?
00:24:21.180 Sensors manipulate what you read.
00:24:23.200 That appears to be a pervasive pattern of political bias.
00:24:26.840 You need a source you can trust.
00:24:29.420 That was just fake news by NBC.
00:24:31.040 Because citizen journalism is often the most accurate perspective.
00:24:35.720 We are in danger every day, every minute.
00:24:37.740 They're coming inside.
00:24:39.080 The political establishment paid off the other outlets.
00:24:42.360 It's sci-fi.
00:24:42.980 I know exactly.
00:24:43.640 Our opinions are honest and unfiltered.
00:24:46.580 You were cheating on your taxes in 2014.
00:24:48.420 This is from a tweet she deleted.
00:24:50.280 Will you be resigning today?
00:24:51.440 We'll tell the other side of the story.
00:24:53.920 What happened to a gay couple in Gaza?
00:24:56.120 Executed according to Islamic law.
00:24:58.320 To our loyal audience.
00:24:59.960 Is this your job as a press secretary?
00:25:01.780 Is it just to run away from the press?
00:25:02.940 Which is growing every day.
00:25:04.720 This is Trudeau's worst nightmare.
00:25:06.160 Our message is simple.
00:25:07.580 The climate change conference.
00:25:09.040 It's fake.
00:25:09.800 Keep fighting for freedom.
00:25:11.400 It's easier to fight in the first ditch than in the last ditch.
00:25:15.840 Rebel News.
00:25:17.260 Telling the other side of the story.
00:25:21.080 We'll blow your eyebrows off.
00:25:24.600 That's a clip from our brand new YouTube channel trailer.
00:25:27.900 And I think you really get a feel for the kind of work we've done here at The Rebel.
00:25:32.660 And the kind of work we promise to continue to do for you.
00:25:36.200 Now that video is a little over five minutes long.
00:25:38.720 But boy, it's a full five minutes of fighting for freedom.
00:25:42.260 Now that trailer premiered the middle of this week.
00:25:45.180 So I thought I would take a boo with the YouTube comments to see what you guys at home are saying about it.
00:25:51.100 Do you like it?
00:25:51.860 Ryan Ryan says it has to be so infuriating for mainstream media journalists to know that anyone with a cell phone can do what they do now.
00:26:01.260 For so long they've been able to destroy people's lives with hit piece journalism.
00:26:06.520 And now that someone is doing it back, they don't like it.
00:26:09.680 You know, Andrew Breitbart once said the media class is the wall that we have to climb over in order for our voices to be heard.
00:26:19.360 And he was absolutely right.
00:26:21.340 But now social media and the proliferation of the internet everywhere, well, it's really the great equalizer.
00:26:27.560 And the cell phone, it's the new tool for truth.
00:26:30.540 And that's why Silicon Valley elites, well, they want to censor you.
00:26:34.580 Mike B writes,
00:26:35.780 I look for and share your posts almost daily.
00:26:39.320 People need to see the other side of the story.
00:26:42.020 The mainstream media stopped being reporters back in the 60s.
00:26:46.120 This is not a new development.
00:26:48.060 It started hating on conservatives and cheerleading the left a long time ago.
00:26:53.460 It just wasn't as overt then as it is now.
00:26:56.860 The sympathetic story about the politician the reporter liked now becomes outright attacks against their political opponents to ensure victory.
00:27:04.780 When your guy or gal can be handed a stack of glowing reports, well, that gets you access, gets you the selfies, the autographed pics, the invites to state dinners, and the like.
00:27:17.300 You get to hang.
00:27:18.660 It's no longer about being objective.
00:27:20.880 It's about being a sycophant.
00:27:23.500 Mike, you're preaching the gospel to me.
00:27:26.300 At The Rebel, we don't get access to politicians because we don't suck up to them enough.
00:27:30.800 And this sycophantic nature of the mainstream media has never been more evident than now in the dichotomy of treatment of the two federal main party leaders by the mainstream media.
00:27:43.660 Andrew Scheer answers questions until reporters run out of questions, and then they chase them through a parking lot.
00:27:49.400 And Justin Trudeau takes no questions, and the reporters never bother to try to ask any.
00:27:54.780 You see, those reporters want to be liked by Trudeau.
00:27:57.920 They want that more than they want to do their jobs.
00:28:00.000 And lastly, Chantel sends her regards to us.
00:28:03.240 Fantastic video.
00:28:04.300 This is why I'm proud of our independent journalists.
00:28:08.360 Me too, Chantel.
00:28:09.200 My heart soared watching that video.
00:28:11.880 And you know, we've done so much real hard-hitting journalism that sometimes you just forget about some of it.
00:28:18.960 That was a real sentimental journey down memory lane for me.
00:28:22.600 Well, that wraps up another edition of Rebel Roundup.
00:28:26.260 Thanks, David, if you're watching, for trusting me with your show.
00:28:30.000 Thanks, folks at home for tuning in.
00:28:31.840 We'll see everybody back here next week.
00:28:34.280 And remember, without risk, there can be no glory.
00:28:37.240 We'll see you next week.
00:28:42.440 We'll see you next week.
00:28:44.480 We'll see you next week.
00:28:54.540 We'll see you next week.
00:28:55.120 Amen.
