00:00:50.600You're listening to a Rebel Media Podcast.
00:00:53.100Welcome 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 favorite Rebels.
00:01:04.300Well, Jessica Swetnowski will drop by to weigh in on her most recent mission, namely visiting Richmond Hill, the site of a Liberal fundraiser, earlier this week,
00:01:15.560to deliver the message via Jumbotron-equipped truck that Justin Trudeau is a fake feminist.
00:01:25.440And speaking of virtue signaling Justin, Sheila Gunn-Reed will detail what the cost has been to date in terms of accommodating all those irregulars who flooded into our dominion thanks to that irresponsible welcome to Canada tweet.
00:01:46.280We get your letters every minute of every day, and I'll share some of your responses regarding how the Trudeau Liberals continue to both apologize and whitewash history.
00:01:58.260The latest example, rebranding a federal government building in Vancouver.
00:02:02.780Apparently, the conservative it was named after is no longer politically correct.
00:02:13.100We're going around Richmond Hill today to warn everybody and spread the word that Justin Trudeau is a fake feminist.
00:02:24.180He uses the label to virtue signal and pander to women to get their votes.
00:02:29.460Sheila laid it all out for us, laid out all the facts in one of her videos, but today we are taking those uncomfortable images out on the street.
00:02:37.640If you like these billboards as much as I do, you can help us by donating at fakefeminist.com.
00:03:42.100You know, watching the sheeple who continue to worship Justin Trudeau, the Hogan's Heroes character, Sergeant Schultz, comes to mind.
00:03:51.160In other words, when you ask them to articulate their opinions on our virtue-signaling prime minister, you are met with a steady commentary of, I know nothing, I saw nothing.
00:04:03.140I think I'd cue the laugh track here, folks, but there's really nothing to laugh about.
00:04:09.760And with more on our latest caper, namely advertising via Jumbotron-equipped truck that Justin Trudeau is truly a fake feminist, is our very own Jessica Swetnowski.
00:04:50.360Some of them gave me a quick second, but as soon as I asked my question, which was, do you think Trudeau is a feminist, they, you know, backed away.
00:04:58.800Or they would quickly just yell out yes and then run inside.
00:05:04.240By far, the most prevalent answer was yes.
00:05:08.180And then when you justifiably tried to get them to justify why he's a feminist and then brought up some specific examples of him not really being a feminist, but of him, well, in the case of Rose Knight, of course, groping her and molesting her against her will, suddenly, oh, you know what, I've got a bus to catch.
00:05:30.760And, I mean, it's the cowardice that you captured that I found fascinating, that they say the politically correct thing, which is yes, but they can't articulate why he's a feminist.
00:06:14.360Especially as a feminist, we're told to believe all women, but then when it's one woman that's saying something against their narrative, then we shouldn't believe her.
00:06:35.820What I'm getting at, it's not a matter of him being handsy to, say, a young female reporter, but him just having a profound difficulty with powerful women, opinionated women, smart women.
00:06:51.740You would think a man who declares himself a feminist would like to see all those attributes encompassed in a woman, but he has a profound problem with it.
00:07:02.420Yeah, he, yeah, the whole idea that he wants to have all these strong women around him, but as soon as they are, they do stand up.
00:07:12.620And in the Jody Wilson-Raybould, that situation, when she did stand her ground and she didn't bend to the knee, that's when we saw the real side of him, which is not a feminist side.
00:07:35.960Well, you know, and I found that was a double whammy, of course, Jessica, because not only is Jody Wilson-Raybould a woman, but she's also Native.
00:07:43.620And, of course, Justin Trudeau dines out on giving apologies to Natives, so much so that one of the ultimate ones was an apology to Natives.
00:07:55.300It was something that happened prior to 1867.
00:07:59.160In other words, before Canada was Canada.
00:08:01.160And that brings about, you know, this theme.
00:08:05.720It's an ongoing theme, I think it is, Jessica, where he will apologize to any special interest group that was hard done by somebody long, long time ago.
00:08:19.600But when it comes to his own odious behavior in the here and now, has he ever said sorry?
00:08:25.300Well, we remember that video of him elbowing somebody in Parliament.
00:08:34.020And then, and especially, Rose Knight always comes to mind in this because his response to the allegations were, she experienced it differently.
00:08:45.580Yeah, if you're groping a woman, she's going to experience it differently from your end if you're the one groping.
00:08:50.880Oh, indeed. And I remember coming across, it was a Chatelaine article where they were interviewing all the heads of the parties, the political parties.
00:09:03.260And when it came to that little thorny question they threw in for Justin Trudeau, what I found astonishing is that he said words to the effect, I'm just paraphrasing now, that that incident was a learning experience for us.
00:09:16.600He used the pronouns, pronoun us, not me, right?
00:09:19.760And I thought, the chutzpah, the audacity that you're the one that did this on your own accord, and yet this is something we need to learn a lesson from?
00:09:33.760To point, like, even everyone's pointing the blame at him, and he's just trying to spin that around and point at all of us, for us to be inclusive and to be a learning experience for everyone, except for him that he's the one that actually did those things.
00:09:49.160It's amazing. It's amazing. And Jessica, I've got to ask you something, simply because you are female. You know, I would never describe myself as a feminist. I believe men and women are equal, 100%, and we're different.
00:10:02.500And those differences should be celebrated. They shouldn't be whitewashed and homogenized, which is something the left seems to like to do.
00:10:10.840But I guess where I'm going with this is the men that I see declaring themselves to be feminists, Justin Trudeau, Dion Buse, who assaulted our colleague Sheila Gunn-Reed at a women's rally, no less, Jordan Hunt, the guy that goes around kicking women at pro-life rallies.
00:10:33.780These are all self-declared feminists, and where is the feminism? They seem to be anti-female. What's your take when you hear a man declare himself to be a feminist?
00:10:47.960What's my take? Well, first of all, it might be a little, like, an unpopular opinion, but we're in 2019. We're living in Canada. I don't think feminism is that important.
00:10:59.520I don't think we need feminism as much as it's being pushed by the mainstream media and, you know, and Justin Trudeau and all these people.
00:11:08.400Like, why they're pushing? And when they try, when they label themselves as a feminist, a male feminist, that's just pandering.
00:11:17.620To me, that's just trying to be an ally. And it's just like, I think it's manipulative and it's sneaky, and I think they have an ulterior motive to it.
00:11:27.240I don't think I've ever met a man that really believes he's a feminist and doesn't talk about it.
00:11:35.640As soon as you start talking about it publicly and labeling yourself as that and, like, pushing it and making it the forefront,
00:11:41.360then it's like, why are you pushing this so much?
00:11:43.540If you're a feminist or if you believe in equal rights and all that, then that's good.
00:11:48.660That's your own ideology. That's great.
00:11:50.660And then, you know, live your life based on that.
00:11:53.000But when you keep repeating it, repeating, repeat it, there's an ulterior motive there.
00:13:49.280But a few short months later, let's just see how this sudden influx of cash and a finger wag at the asylum seekers is playing out in reality at the border.
00:14:06.140Is this tiny tweak in legislation fixing the stampede Justin Trudeau's one welcome to Canada tweet caused in our entire immigration system?
00:14:16.540True North Centre's Candice Malcolm has all the details in a new Toronto Sun article.
00:14:23.100In the first six months of 2019, 26,860 people entered Canada illegally or under false pretenses to make asylum claims.
00:14:33.560That number is higher than the first half of 2018 when Canada received 25,225 claims and the first half of 2017 when 18,445 claims were filed.
00:14:46.960It's more than the total number of claims in 2016 at 23,870.
00:14:52.240Oh, so it's getting even worse, way worse?
00:14:56.060And the Liberal solution of pouring cash on the fire isn't helping the situation?
00:15:02.960And what does this increase in illegal immigration look like in a practical sense?
00:15:07.500Well, over to Global News for just some of that information.
00:15:11.540Border agents don't have the resources to deport the growing numbers of those who need to be shown the door right out of our country.
00:15:19.880Has a single silly amateur virtue-signalling tweet by a head of state of any nation in the world done as much damage as Justin Trudeau's infamous welcome to Canada communique?
00:15:33.000The end result was entirely predictable.
00:15:35.800A stampede of illegal immigrants, most of whom are apparently economic migrants as opposed to bona fide refugees.
00:15:44.140This has cost the country hundreds of millions of dollars while reducing the RCMP to the Royal Canadian Bellhop Police.
00:15:53.240Despite what you might have been told by our fearless leader, the problem of illegal, oops, I mean irregular immigrants flooding into Canada continues to fester.
00:16:05.260Joining me now with more on this story is the host of The Gun Show, Sheila Gunn-Reed.
00:16:11.020Hey, David, thanks for having me on the show.
00:16:14.200Hey, Sheila, another great commentary, but I've got to ask you, if we were to believe the Trudeau Liberals,
00:16:20.460everything is just A-OK and peachy keen at the border these days, nothing to see here, move along.
00:16:26.080Yeah, and I think the budget balanced itself too, didn't it?
00:16:29.700Yeah, yeah, I mean the Liberals made this, they made a big funding announcement in the last budget.
00:16:38.340They were going to give $1.2 billion, I think over five, 1.2 billion, excuse me, over five years to deal with the border crisis.
00:16:45.160Then they were going to tweak the legislation just a little so that asylum seekers who have applied for asylum in other countries
00:16:54.200cannot now then apply for asylum in Canada, basically stop asylum shopping.
00:16:59.600And really it was targeted at those people who had tried to seek asylum in the United States and were denied and then were seeking asylum in Canada.
00:17:08.600Well, that amounts to about 3,000 people over the course of two years.
00:17:11.980When we're seeing hundreds of thousands of people just strolling across the border, I mean, it addressed a statistical rounding error in the problem.
00:17:21.480And then they are, you know, they want to pat on the back for doing something good.
00:17:25.120They've just dumped a bunch of money at a problem and really haven't done anything substantive.
00:17:30.440And when you talk to the head of the CBSA, the way I think it was Mercedes Stevenson did, he said that people are coming to Canada because they don't like Trump's policies, his crackdown on immigration.
00:17:46.160So the answer to stop these people from coming to Canada is to just be a little more Trumpy in that we need to enforce the existing immigration laws and not entertain people who just strut across the border anywhere they feel like luggage in hands and say, I'm a refugee.
00:18:02.900Yeah, but Sheila, in one sense, can you blame these people?
00:18:09.000I'm trying to think, at least in modern history, any world leader that would have tweeted out, please, come and invade us.
00:18:17.740So if I'm someone, and I'm not being oppressed in the U.S., I mean, my goodness gracious, the United States is one of the greatest democracies in the world, if not the greatest.
00:18:26.780You know, people aren't being rounded up and tortured like you see in certain regimes in the world today.
00:18:32.940If I see a world leader literally inviting me in, why wouldn't I take an advantage of that?
00:18:40.840That's A. B, here's the thing, Sheila, even if Trudeau thought, oh, there'll be abusers to this for sure,
00:18:47.820why was there no contingency plan put in place in terms of beefing up the RCMP and the border agency so that the con men,
00:18:58.820you know, the con artists, the flim flam people, could have been weeded out of the genuine refugees coming into Canada?
00:19:07.180I suppose I'll answer the second part of your question first, and it's because the Liberals,
00:19:13.320despite what they might want to temper their rhetoric in the media by saying, they really are open borders radicals.
00:19:20.800They think that everybody should just be able to waltz into our country and take advantage of our social safety net
00:19:27.240and all of our services that lawful Canadians pay for.
00:19:31.260And when I say lawful Canadians, I also mean new immigrants who did things the right way.
00:19:36.300And, you know, moreover, to your point about how no one is being oppressed in the United States,
00:19:42.160in Hong Kong right now, America is such a beacon of freedom and good governance in the rest of the world
00:19:50.320that Hong Kong protesters, people who are protesting against the Chinese, are waving the American flag
00:19:56.940and singing the American national anthem.
00:25:21.780But like you say, they point out that, you know, it's just irregular because they don't want that sort of negative connotation to asylum seekers.
00:26:23.220And the other ominous thing is that at the end of the day, the off-the-lot price of this virtue signaling is probably going to be in the billions of dollars.
00:26:32.640Sheila, thank you so much for joining me on this very important topic.
00:27:01.140But just a few days ago, Harry Stevens' name was expunged from this building.
00:27:06.620Now, Harry Stevens was a conservative member of parliament, a conservative, first elected in 1911.
00:27:12.900And he gets the blame for turning away the Kamigata Maru ship and its passengers of almost 400 Sikh, Hindu, and Muslims back in 1914.
00:27:26.920Now, there was already an apology issued for this chapter in Canadian history by the prime minister way back in 2016.
00:27:35.360In fact, it was one of Justin's first apologies in his ongoing Apologypalooza tour in which he's apologized to everyone from natives to gays for incidents that date back decades or even more than a century.
00:27:52.300And in one case, even before Canada was Canada.
00:27:55.420Funny, though, that the rebranding didn't take part then.
00:28:00.300I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that an election is less than three months away.
00:28:05.600And why not make this a double apology, get it in the news, and reach out to the liberal base and show them how caring and sensitive and diverse they are.
00:28:16.160Just when you thought Justin Trudeau was fresh out of groveling apologies and virtue-signaling rebranding schemes,
00:28:23.460along comes this tale of consigning the name of conservative politician Harry Stevens to the scrap heap of obsolescence.
00:28:32.160And I'm sure there are more apologies to come in the weeks ahead leading up to election day because, hey, that's just how our Justin rolls.
00:28:43.600In any event, here's what you had to say about the latest virtue-signaling scheme, courtesy of our forever teary-eyed prime minister.
