No, this time he really triggered Sheila Gunn-Reed in a very personal way. And, Bruce Springsteen is no fan of President Trump, but even the boss is a realist, predicting Trump will win another term. And finally, we get your letters, and I ll share some letters we receive regarding our yearlong quest to donate $15,000 to a military charity, something that continues to be stymied.
00:00:00.000Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you, in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favourite rebels.
00:00:10.420So, a Christian landlord goes up against Muslim tenants, claiming their faith was dissed because the landlord never removed his shoes in his own house.
00:00:21.200Can you possibly guess who came out on top in this squabble?
00:00:25.580Ezra Levent has all the depressing details.
00:00:28.220And when Justin Trudeau made bizarre comments regarding male construction workers being predators, he didn't just spout his usual garden variety idiocy.
00:00:39.920No, this time, he really triggered Sheila Gunn-Reed in a very personal way and just wait till you hear what Sheila has to say.
00:00:49.020And Bruce Springsteen is no fan of President Trump, but even the boss is a realist, predicting Trump will win another term.
00:00:58.320Amanda Head weighs in on who might head up the Democratic Party in 2020, and it ain't pretty.
00:01:04.480And finally, we get your letters, we get your letters every minute of every day, and I'll share some of the letters we receive regarding our year-long quest to donate $15,000 to a military charity,
00:01:18.500something that continues to be stymied by the Trudeau Liberals.
00:01:23.800Oh yeah, here's an update you might not believe.
00:01:27.720Those are your rebels, now let's round them up.
00:01:30.300You might recall the case of John Alabi.
00:01:40.900He is an immigrant to Canada from Nigeria.
00:01:43.860Came here with nothing, really, and worked his way up as hard as he could, taking jobs and finally becoming, well, a bit of a landlord himself.
00:01:54.720But then one of his tenants, well, took him to the Human Rights Tribunal.
00:01:58.440You see, John is Christian, and one of his tenants was a Muslim family that objected to John not taking his shoes off in the apartment.
00:02:09.460They said it was anti-Muslim discrimination, and in a shocking decision, well, not shocking to those of us who know the Human Rights Tribunals,
00:02:17.720they won a multi-thousand-dollar penalty against John.
00:02:21.700Well, when we heard that, we said, John, we've got to fight this.
00:02:25.180And we crowdfunded the legal appeal, which happened in Toronto.
00:22:01.940Isolated and detached from reality, quite frankly.
00:22:05.560You know, Sheila, I thought this commentary was one of your all-time best.
00:22:08.960I thought what you said about your husband was a million times greater than any Valentine's Day card you could buy him.
00:22:17.600It was so profound. It was so heartfelt. It was so truthful.
00:22:21.420But like you said, too, it's not as though you and your husband are living any kind of unique lifestyle.
00:22:28.220You know, there are millions of Canadians that are doing this, getting up, you know, keeping a family together, working really hard.
00:22:35.000And for Justin Trudeau to be so dismissive of that, it's like a slap in the face to all hardworking Canadians out there.
00:22:44.120It's funny you say that because my husband, we don't talk about work when we get to talk to each other when he's away at work.
00:22:51.940So he didn't see the commentary. I don't think he's seen the commentary yet.
00:22:56.140But he did text me yesterday and say, what did you say on the Internet?
00:23:00.580Someone is calling me a journalist groper.
00:23:02.380And so that's going to be his work experience for the next couple of days.
00:23:09.900But like I said in my commentary, I'm not special. We're not exceptional.
00:23:15.140This is, we are absolutely mainstream Albertans.
00:23:18.460This is the life my parents lived, my in-laws lived.
00:23:21.200And it really speaks to the detachment, especially of the West, from these Laurentian lizards who are making the rules for the rest of us to live by.
00:23:30.660A hundred percent. And Sheila, perhaps we can wrap it on this.
00:23:33.980I know the year, the calendar year 2018 has 24 days more to go, but I'm going to go out on a limb and I'm going to say you had the line of the year for every rebel commentary recorded in 2018.
00:23:48.620And that was when you spoke about how Justin and your husband do share one common trait, that they both be known to grope a journalist every now and then.
00:23:59.520That was brilliant. I hope, I pray Justin gets to see that commentary.
00:24:04.900I would love to see the look on his face.
00:24:08.060Well, you know, you know they watch the rebel.
00:24:10.360They keep bringing us up in the House of Commons.
00:24:12.380And so I'm sure he's seen that, but I'm sure he doesn't even understand what I'm talking about.
00:24:18.140Well, Sheila, congratulations, like I said, on the line of the year and congratulations on another great commentary.
00:24:24.500And anyone who hasn't seen it in its entirety, please see it.
00:25:12.380There's no confidence for Democrats either, especially as it pertains to Democrat candidates running for the presidency in 2020.
00:25:20.020In a recent interview with The Sunday Times, Springsteen said this.
00:25:23.520I don't see anyone out there at the moment, the man who can beat Trump or the woman who can beat Trump.
00:25:29.980Got to make sure you get that woman part in there so you don't piss off the feminazis.
00:25:33.760You need someone who can speak some of the same language as Donald Trump, obviously.
00:25:39.000And the Democrats don't have an obvious, effective presidential candidate.
00:25:42.940Now, what's interesting about this to me is that on a daily basis, when you watch CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, basically all of the mainstream and legacy media, their number one complaint is about something that Trump said, his language.
00:26:00.080And now you've got Springsteen out here saying that Democrats have got to have someone with the same language.
00:26:05.620I'm sorry. Isn't that what you hate about Donald Trump?
00:26:08.080Because regarding his language, the reason his supporters love him so much and the reason they support him so avidly is because he speaks the truth and truth and honesty are not really what lefties peddling.
00:26:18.960And on top of that, when Donald Trump was running for the election, Americans like the idea of a businessman, not a politician being president.
00:26:28.320And many of the Democrats who have hinted at throwing their hat in the ring for 2020 are Democrats whose hands are so deep in the pockets of lobbyists and special interest groups, they could clip their toenails for them.
00:26:39.040Like so many other celebrities, Bruce Springsteen is no fan of the president, given his over-the-top hysteria pertaining to Trump.
00:26:48.180But at least the boss is a realist by predicting that the Republicans are very likely headed for a second term under President Trump.
00:26:56.920Yet the question arises with less than two years until the next election, who will be that effective, credible candidate to lead the Democratic Party?
00:27:06.820Assuming such a person even exists, that is.
00:27:10.160And with more on the Democrat dilemma heading into 2020 is our very own Hollywood conservative, Amanda Head.
00:27:22.900So Amanda, so many angles here, but first off, I would argue that given the current roster of rogues who want to lead the Democrats from Conrad Sanders to Pocahontas,
00:27:36.100the worst thing I can say about this party is that its best option might be going with Hillary 2.0.
00:27:44.620Oh, man, that would personally be my dream.
00:27:47.700I would love to have a Clinton-Trump battle once again, because I firmly believe that Donald Trump is going to win re-election in 2020 regardless.
00:27:58.880But I think that if Hillary Clinton runs, oh, man, I mean, that would just be so much pure joy and entertainment for us.
00:28:06.980I mean, Trump would probably come up with 30 new nicknames for her.
00:29:27.220Is there somebody lurking behind the curtain that's a real heavyweight that is going to save this party in the next several months?
00:29:35.740Yeah, I wouldn't doubt that it might be someone out of the blue.
00:29:40.080You know, Barack Obama, as a junior senator, he was kind of out of the blue, but he just picked up steam so very quickly going into the presidential election that year.
00:29:49.880So I wouldn't be surprised if it's somebody out of the blue.
00:29:52.820You know, Joe Biden, I mean, I guess if the qualifications, you know, maybe he's lining himself up against Bill Clinton.
00:29:59.320So that's why he thinks he's the most qualified, because we all know that that Joe Biden tends to get a little handsy.
00:30:14.700Of course, she's senator here in California, where I am.
00:30:16.940If the Democrat Party nominates her and she is their candidate and and the DNC by proxy buys into her brand of leftism, the Democrat Party is in trouble or we as a country are in trouble because she is she is so far left on practically every single issue.
00:30:38.260So, you know, I think that they will have a rough time with a candidate like that in 2020.
00:30:43.200I hope that they will, because if they don't and someone like that prevails, then, you know, the ideals that this country was founded on, I mean, they will be completely thrown out.
00:30:57.140Cory Booker, I think, is another one who has floated the idea, but he's kind of in the same camp as Kamala Harris.
00:31:03.140So, you know, you've got all of these names floating around, of course, Pocahontas as well, who is one one thousand and ninety four.
00:31:09.820I wouldn't be surprised if it's somebody that we don't even know right now.
00:31:17.680You've also had Michael Bloomberg, Jeff Zucker, a bunch of like millionaire slash billionaire types.
00:31:22.420I don't know if they are trying to, you know, emulate the Trump thing.
00:31:25.980But the interesting thing about Donald Trump, as opposed to your normal millionaire or billionaire, you know, Trump was the richest one out of that entire pool of Republicans and Democrats.
00:31:38.060And yet he was the one who had the ability to relate to the common man the most.
00:31:42.620So that says something about him and his demeanor and his language and the way that he spoke to us.
00:31:47.980And speaking of his language, Democrats, mainstream media, legacy media, the number one thing they criticize about this president is his language.
00:31:54.820And now they are trying to match it because I think they realize that they can't, you know, I mean, if you can't beat him, join him.
00:32:00.800Right. No, you know, that's an excellent point, Amanda.
00:32:02.960And to go full circle on that, when we speak of Jeff Zucker, of course, he is the president of CNN.
00:32:09.180I mean, how perversely ironic is that?
00:32:12.660You know, the fact that this individual would play his cards by actually running for the leadership of the Democratic Party.
00:32:19.200I mean, I guess in one way, talk about full disclosure.
00:32:22.020And by the way, I'm not sure if I'm spelling full F-U-L-L or F-O-O-L here.
00:32:27.160But I mean, you know, it would sure bring credence to the fact that most of the mainstream media has it in for Republicans and Donald Trump specifically.
00:32:39.180Yeah, absolutely. I mean, talk about being in the tank for a presidential candidate.
00:32:43.440I mean, we thought it was bad when the media was in the tank for Hillary Clinton.
00:32:47.040Then this would quite literally be in the tank, in the pocketbook, in the bank account, in the pockets of Jeff Zucker.
00:32:54.380So, I mean, that that would I think that's just a little too ironic for even Democrats to.
00:33:01.360Well, well, Amanda, I think we've lost the connection, so we're going to have to wrap it here, my friend.
00:33:05.960Thank you so much for another excellent commentary on the plight of the Democrats south of the border.
00:33:11.700And folks, keep it here. More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
00:33:17.040You know, the other day I was having an Adam West moment.
00:33:26.400Check out this scene from the 1966 Batman movie.
00:33:30.220Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb.
00:33:56.200Yeah, some days you just can't get rid of a bomb.
00:34:00.860And you want to know something, folks?
00:34:02.340Some days you just can't get rid of $15,000.
00:34:06.960Now, you may recall that around this time last year, we started a fundraising drive for soldiers and their families at Camp Borden north of Toronto.
00:34:15.080You see, we were tipped off about a story that was published in the base's official publication entitled Seasonal Sharing Basket Campaign.
00:34:25.440Indeed, Justin Trudeau pays our soldiers so little they're forced to ask for charity.
00:34:30.600And this is the same Trudeau who gave $10.5 million to Omar Khadr, a convicted al-Qaeda terrorist who murdered a soldier.
00:34:41.800So it was we set out to raise $10,000 for the CFB Borden food hamper.
00:36:00.160Was there some interference going on in Ottawa?
00:36:02.520And upon filing a Freedom of Information request, our suspicions were confirmed, for we received more than 100 pages of correspondence from the Department of National Defense, bureaucrats who were fretting over how to handle a charitable donation?
00:36:23.080Yes, the DND paper pushers were afraid that we would politicize such a donation.
00:36:28.880But the perverse irony is this, folks, by refusing our donation and having our quest to give this money go on for more than a year now, it is they who have politicized this issue, not us.
00:36:43.920In any event, here's what some of you had to say about how the Trudeau Liberals just can't help themselves when it comes to disrespecting the military
00:36:53.500and losing their stuff over the one Canadian media outlet they cannot control.
00:37:02.980In the meantime, Justin is bragging to Daily Show host Trevor Noah on Twitter that he'll dish out 50 mil in Canuck bucks to some charity that doles out money to other charities marked for educating girls in the third world.
00:37:44.180Wait, what? Accepting Rebel's fundraising check could be bad PR, so their answer is to reject a donation and spur Rebel to notify their viewers like they are doing in this video?
00:37:57.680Yeah, that's not going to go over like a lead balloon or anything.
00:38:17.100Funny how Trudeau puts his image before serving forces and veterans.
00:38:33.480Yeah, true enough, Mr. Ellis, but I honestly believe our Prime Minister is a narcissist.
00:38:38.640And if you suffer from such a condition, why wouldn't you send a lot of payola to the media to write nice things about you, or at the very least, have them bury the ugly truth?
00:39:12.580As for going viral, we're not quite done with this story yet, folks, as we continue to seek out another military charity that will accept your donations.
00:39:22.500Please add your name to our online petition that we plan to deliver to Defence Minister Harji Sajan.
