Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you, in which we look back
00:00:07.820
at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favourite rebels.
00:00:15.420
Recently, a smear campaign was orchestrated by the usual suspects against our very own
00:00:22.760
Kian was supposedly harassing a leftist reporter in Winnipeg, but guess what, folks?
00:00:29.640
The video evidence paints an entirely different picture.
00:00:36.900
Speaking of Mr. Bextie, he was in B.C. recently to seek insight into an incredible court hearing
00:00:43.600
in which the father of a 14-year-old girl has been ordered by a judge not to use female
00:00:51.020
pronouns when speaking about his own daughter, given that she now evidently identifies as
00:00:59.380
Just will you hear the details about this clampdown regarding parental rights and freedom of
00:01:10.900
And I'll share some of your responses regarding my commentary about a Kentucky food truck
00:01:16.520
owner who incurred the wrath of the SJW community.
00:01:21.580
He was selling T-shirts that offered a humorous interpretation of the LGBTQ initialism.
00:01:36.340
Because this case and this man, my client, is challenging them as they've never been challenged.
00:01:56.640
And these questions have never been dealt with by the Supreme Court of Canada.
00:02:00.720
Why does the father not want this to go forward?
00:02:03.580
The father's position is that he says he knows his child.
00:02:10.940
And he knows, he knows, it's not just a belief or a fantasy.
00:02:17.140
He knows the child does not appreciate what she's getting herself into.
00:02:22.740
He knows that she doesn't understand the incredibly high suicide rates, all the things that can happen,
00:02:31.700
He knows that 80% of children, school-aged children, anywhere from 80 to higher,
00:02:39.560
if they're allowed to go through puberty, they come out in their older teenage years and they abandon the idea.
00:02:48.420
So his position is, wait until she turns 18, she can do what she wants with my blessing.
00:02:53.620
Say, did you hear the one about a father who was ordered by a court not to call his daughter she or her?
00:03:03.020
Rather, it's actually a story playing out right now in British Columbia.
00:03:08.600
Recently, Kian Bexty was able to interview that father's lawyer.
00:03:19.520
So as I understand things, Kian, activists have convinced a girl to transition into a boy.
00:03:26.560
And if the girl's father uses female pronouns to describe her,
00:03:32.600
this will be considered as, quote, family violence, end quote.
00:03:42.160
I only wish, David, I only wish this was fake news, but it's not.
00:03:46.180
I'm literally sitting right outside of the lawyer's office right now.
00:03:49.740
I just interviewed him, and that video is probably going to be coming up soon.
00:03:54.520
It's absolutely disgusting what is happening to this father.
00:04:01.060
That's awful on its own, but it's not just that.
00:04:05.640
His freedom of speech, his freedom of expression, freedom of conscience
00:04:10.100
is being taken away from him by a judge who, I'll note here,
00:04:15.400
and I don't want to say too much, I think has a questionable history in feminism.
00:04:27.600
and I don't think Canadians will once they hear about this court case.
00:04:32.260
And the judge we're speaking of, this is Justice Gregory Bowden, I take it,
00:04:37.060
and I believe, Kian, he is trying to justify this clampdown,
00:04:42.360
not only on parental rights, as you so adroitly pointed out,
00:04:45.960
but in terms of freedom of speech, freedom of expression.
00:04:49.120
He's trying to justify this because the girl allegedly is at a high risk of suicide.
00:05:09.660
The father was talking to the girl, and the father said,
00:05:24.220
But the child said to the father that if they don't get what they want, they'll commit suicide.
00:05:32.300
And then the father said, what, you're kidding.
00:05:38.300
And then the child said, oh, yeah, you're right.
00:05:40.680
They just told me to say that so that I get what I want, which is super troubling for a whole bunch of reasons.
00:05:49.080
Who has this child's ear so that they're able to manipulate them in this way?
00:05:58.840
We don't know because this case is behind a veil of, you know, disclosure.
00:06:08.620
Nobody's allowed to know who the kid is associating with because the court is scared that the kid will be identified.
00:06:14.440
I can't even tell you what the father's name is.
00:06:16.620
That's, you know, how much they're protecting this court case.
00:06:21.040
I don't think it's because they want to protect the child.
00:06:23.560
I mean, it's important that children are protected in cases like these.
00:06:26.480
But I think it's because they want as little information about this court case to get out because they know that if Canadians start putting pieces together about how their freedoms of speech, expression, and conscience are being slowly eroded away by this British Columbian court, I think there is going to be, you know, there's going to be a revolt if people realize what's going on here.
00:06:46.660
So they're trying to cover up as much of it as they can.
00:06:49.760
I mean, it sounds less of a court and more of a star chamber, if you will.
00:06:55.600
The age of this girl, and I'm going to keep calling her girl and he, or sorry, she and her, and not use any of those fake Zeezers, our, you know, mumbo jumbo pronouns either.
00:07:08.380
Because this individual is a girl, and it is about parental rights.
00:07:14.060
And at 14 years of age, let's face it, Kean, you can't smoke, you can't drive a car, you can't vote, you can't buy alcohol, you can't even buy lottery tickets.
00:07:24.680
And yet, somehow at 14, this judge and whoever's behind this transitioning phase thinks this is an appropriate age for this person to go through a gender switcheroo.
00:07:47.220
You know, a kid can't get braces without the parents signing off on it.
00:07:51.700
Parents can't, you know, the state can't force a kid to get a polio vaccine.
00:07:55.600
Even though, you know, parents are putting their children in mortal peril by not giving them a lot of these, you know, a lot of these vaccines for preventable diseases, the state won't force anything on that.
00:08:08.540
But when it comes to gender dysphoria, you can bet that if a kid wants it, they're going to get an injection of gonadotropin releasing hormones so that their bone structure can fail when they're 30.
00:08:21.040
There's a sign, there's a ambulance that's driving by me, if you can hear that.
00:08:25.700
But they can get injections of gonadotropin so that their bone structures fail when they're 30, so that they're infertile by the time they're 20.
00:08:36.660
And, you know, we're not sure what happens when they're 50 and 60.
00:08:41.260
What happens to their executive brain function?
00:08:43.700
You know, is there going to be early onset dementia?
00:08:46.020
We have no idea what happens to these kids who get these injections at the early age of 12, 13, 14.
00:08:52.480
What's going to happen to them when they're 50?
00:08:54.740
Are they not going to be able to reason properly like regular human beings?
00:09:02.940
It sure sounds like that judge thinks the state knows best.
00:09:05.820
But, Kean, do we know anything in terms of this so-called transition, how far this girl is along into becoming a boy?
00:09:18.220
Has there actually been any kind of surgical procedures done to, you know, I guess, create the facade that she is a he?
00:09:31.220
So far, I do not believe that any physical surgery has taken place.
00:09:36.580
I don't want to just say they're just chemically altering her brain, but that's what they're doing.
00:09:43.240
And tell me, Kean, I'm sure everyone watching this interview is saying, where's the mother in all of this?
00:09:53.420
Well, the mother supports this, as far as I understand, as the lawyer told me.
00:10:00.160
So I don't know if this is how, you know, I don't know if it's parenting by voting or what, and the state is breaking the tie.
00:10:12.320
The mother, as far as I understand it, doesn't have her own legal counsel.
00:10:19.060
But I'm not sure if the mother is as invested in this litigation as the other two parties.
00:10:25.760
And tell me, too, Kean, with all this litigation going on, this must be costing a fortune.
00:10:30.760
Do we have any idea what the father, for example, is paying out in legal fees?
00:10:43.280
As you know, it's being seen in the British Columbian Supreme Court.
00:10:47.080
And this case has SJW activists on the other side of it funneling money in it because they know if they win,
00:10:54.600
they set a precedent across Canada that parents can't decide what happens to their children.
00:10:59.400
And the state can decide if a young child is going to get brain-altering injections.
00:11:08.540
And it's part of an ongoing trend, isn't it, my friend?
00:11:10.680
That, you know, this whole idea, it's almost that there's a saying out there,
00:11:17.820
And, I mean, I just did a commentary earlier this week where I talked about a Scottish maritime museum
00:11:23.300
that they had their display, some displays vandalized because they were referring to ships as she and her,
00:11:31.580
a naval tradition that goes back centuries, and it's international.
00:11:37.740
And instead of calling the police on these SJW warriors and having them charged and suing them for damages,
00:11:45.560
the museum has decided that they are now going to de-gender all their displays.
00:11:50.780
They're going to take out, they're going to use gender-neutral language.
00:11:53.980
Kian, this is an outrage that we are acquiescing to the bullies out there.
00:12:13.640
No, I know, and, you know, given that it was Scotland and some of the,
00:12:17.780
I think it's some of the greatest ships that were ever built on the River Clyde and along Glasgow,
00:12:27.480
But this is an even worse case because this is somebody, I assume, that's just going through puberty.
00:12:34.320
And it sounds to me, Kian, I guess we'll wrap it with this question.
00:12:39.000
Do you think this little girl is being used as a pawn by the activists to prove a point?
00:12:47.380
I think that no 14-year-old girl thinks, you know, gets to this point where she's arguing a case at the British Columbian Supreme Court.
00:12:58.340
It's absolutely unheard of what's happening in this case right now.
00:13:01.440
Well, there's no way that this child has gone the distance by herself.
00:13:05.260
She has people whispering in her ears, and if it's not the parents, I want to know who that is.
00:13:09.300
I want to know what therapist, what counselor, what doctor, what lawyer is whispering in her ear,
00:13:14.520
telling her, using her as a pawn, using her gender as a pawn, her sex, her future as a pawn
00:13:20.780
to get some sort of, you know, social progress that they view as positive.
00:13:27.140
But who cares about what happens to this girl when she's 30, 40, 50, when, you know, she doesn't have,
00:13:36.280
she might not have executive brain function at the age of 50.
00:13:43.840
And to think Judge Bowden says that the father using female pronouns is tantamount to family violence.
00:13:51.600
This is the family violence going on right now, turning a girl into a boy.
00:13:56.080
And maybe the agenda here is political and social justice.
00:14:04.840
And, Kian, I'm so glad you're following this case.
00:14:07.480
And we'll keep an eye on this to see how it turns out, because to me, this is one of the most egregious things
00:14:16.520
If your viewers want to check out what I'm doing here, they can go to www.rebelinvestigates.com.
00:14:22.380
My latest is going to be there, and I'm going to make sure to stay on this case as it moves forward,
00:14:25.960
because, frankly, I don't trust the mainstream media to give this father a fair shake at things,
00:14:29.900
but I also don't trust them to give Canadians the full, unedited truth about what's going on here.
00:14:34.600
So I'm going to keep coming back to Vancouver as this case progresses.
00:14:39.640
So, Kian, thank you very much, and keep on this case, and we'll see how it develops in the weeks and months ahead.
00:14:50.400
And keep it here, folks. More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
00:15:03.000
Kian was not the bully, but rather the bullied.
00:15:05.480
And the victim was not this young lady, but rather she was the victimizer, a conniver, a fake news peddler,
00:15:15.740
But if not for the mainstream media, this Emily Liedem would just be another insignificant left-wing woman
00:15:23.800
obsessed with my friend Kian Bextie, in love with him the same way my 10-year-old is in love with unicorns.
00:15:29.980
The media pushed the hoax, Jussie Smollett style, Covington Catholic school style.
00:15:37.000
They wanted so badly to believe, and so they just did.
00:15:40.960
By refusing to acknowledge the role they played in spreading this lie, and then, by not admitting their mistake,
00:15:47.680
the mainstream media are actually training the radical left, like Antifa, to continue to target us.
00:15:55.020
The mainstream media is demonstrating to the radical left that their lies and intimidation tactics are effective,
00:16:02.660
which means the left-wing street thugs will do more of it, as long as the media continues to call them the victims.
00:16:10.120
At The Rebel, we've pretty well all been assaulted at work,
00:16:13.240
and the assaults are enabled by the actions of the mainstream media,
00:16:16.880
who can't see past their hate for us, to call what happens to us what it really is.
00:16:25.680
Well, they say the camera never lies, and that's pretty much truthful,
00:16:29.620
but as always, the devil is in the details, or as the case may be, the devil is in the editing,
00:16:37.660
which is to say, selective video editing can radically change the narrative,
00:16:43.800
making, for example, the oppressor look like the oppressed and vice versa.
00:16:48.440
That's exactly what happened in the case of Kian Bextie and Emily Leatham,
00:16:54.740
a so-called journalist who more closely resembles the Glenn Close character from Fatal Attraction,
00:17:00.740
at least when it comes to her obsession with Mr. Bextie.
00:17:05.280
As for the mainstream media that fell for Leatham's hoax
00:17:09.140
and refused to apologize when that hoax was revealed,
00:17:18.280
And with more on the latest hoax that the mainstream media bought into,
00:17:32.340
Well, thank you. That was an incredible commentary.
00:17:36.580
And so many levels of, as you would say, weirdness here.
00:17:43.060
But once upon a time, Sheila, the mainstream media,
00:17:46.360
they would retract a story and offer an apology when they got things wrong.
00:17:52.660
But now, they seem to double down and refuse to acknowledge the truth.
00:18:00.320
Well, yeah, that seems to be the most important part of this story.
00:18:04.480
I mean, Emily Leatham would just be some far-left-wing activist
00:18:11.180
if she had not been signal-boosted by the mainstream media
00:18:16.680
who put her attempt to smear Keehan into a more mainstream light.
00:18:22.980
They moved it from the left-wing fringes into Global News purview
00:18:30.220
They lent credibility to what she did to Keehan before all the evidence came out.
00:18:38.560
They actually doubled down because they hate Keehan
00:18:41.800
and they hate the work we do here at The Rebel more than they love the truth.
00:18:46.420
And, you know, Sheila, how things have changed.
00:18:48.620
I mean, I remember, you know, back in the day when I started in this business in the mid-'80s,
00:18:54.000
there used to be a saying which was, get it first, the it being the story.
00:19:02.820
And, of course, mistakes make even when, you know, you double-check things,
00:19:07.680
even if you work for a publication that has fact-checkers,
00:19:13.120
But once it's identified you made an error, you got it wrong,
00:19:19.300
you're supposed to fall on your sword and issue a clarification or a correction
00:19:28.200
But that doesn't seem to be how the media business works these days
00:19:32.280
when it comes to one particular narrative, does it, Sheila?
00:19:34.620
Well, the only sceptical journalist I saw in the mainstream media
00:19:43.180
He pumped the brakes and he waited for more information to come in.
00:19:48.200
And sure enough, Keehan is always rolling either his camera or his cell phone camera.
00:19:54.280
Because, you know, at The Rebel, we understand how the other side works.
00:20:00.340
And for the mainstream media, who so frequently rush to judgment and get things wrong,
00:20:12.020
they're suing all of the mainstream media into the dirt.
00:20:16.560
And yet the media hasn't learned to just wait for all the facts to come in.
00:20:25.100
It's only directed at people on the right and never the left.
00:20:29.120
With the left, they're always looking for more nuance and more evidence.
00:20:35.000
But if you are on the right, and particularly a young male on the right,
00:20:42.180
And, you know, Sheila, that should have nothing, absolutely nothing to do with the truth
00:20:50.960
You know, you, I mean, what I loved about your commentary was the fact that it was almost like
00:20:58.420
a forensic files episode because you went back and you presented the snippet of tape
00:21:12.520
It wasn't as though Kian was doing anything illegal or even outright harassing her,
00:21:16.680
but just the idea of those other unidentified big guys kind of getting into her personal space.
00:21:25.820
But then when you took the lens to show that she was the instigator of this,
00:21:33.920
She was playing her little ghetto blaster to interfere with the interview
00:21:39.480
and potentially set up a copyright trap for the video.
00:21:43.760
Once the media who have reported on this incident saw that,
00:21:48.360
to me, Sheila, it's no longer a he said, she said incident.
00:21:52.900
They have the facts and they should be apologizing.
00:21:57.760
And no matter how I look at this, Sheila, I can't square this circle.
00:22:04.380
I mean, in my commentary, I even took it back a little further from back from that day,
00:22:11.220
back from the context of that day, which even when you put it in context of that day,
00:22:17.820
She was harassing Kian, coming up to him, blocking him from doing his work,
00:22:22.280
stopping him from talking to Jewish people, which that might be anti-Semitic.
00:22:26.960
But even when I pulled back the lens even further,
00:22:29.840
that young lady has had Bexty in the bloodstream for the better part of six months.
00:22:36.220
She has been someone who intensely dislikes Kian for months and months,
00:22:52.180
And when he came to Winnipeg, she saw that as her opportunity to take her obsession with him
00:22:57.760
out of the Twitter realm and the cyber realm into the real world.
00:23:03.260
And frankly, as you know, I sort of have some sort of maternal instincts over Kian.
00:23:09.760
It makes me really worried about him when he's out there working.
00:23:17.680
He received it from a thug, I'll call him a thug, in Edmonton last month,
00:23:27.100
But, you know, you raise another interesting point.
00:23:29.660
When you look at the chronology of her tweets, Sheila,
00:23:39.640
Do you think there's, I mean, we can't read somebody's mind,
00:23:41.820
but do you think there's something more going on here other than just covering a story
00:23:51.200
Well, you know, Kian is the target of, you know, a lot of left-wing thugs.
00:23:57.460
You mentioned when he was followed around Edmonton,
00:24:00.120
when he went on the convoy to Ottawa, he was attacked by Antifa and they broke his phone.
00:24:05.340
Now this, before he got to Winnipeg, he had mentioned that he was going to Winnipeg
00:24:10.520
and Antifa was threatening to harm him the whole time.
00:24:13.740
A writer for Vice suggested that people should take eggs down to where he was working in Winnipeg
00:24:24.020
This is a writer for Vice whipping up Antifa against him.
00:24:28.320
I mean, either of these people really, really, really don't like Kian,
00:24:33.780
I think some of them are, like me, super fans of Kian,
00:24:37.920
who just are entering into fatal attraction territory.
00:24:42.740
But I think the way Kian handles it is a testament to his character.
00:24:48.840
I mean, when you saw Emily Liedem's video, Kian, you know,
00:24:53.840
he didn't look aggressive, but he was stepping towards her.
00:24:56.680
But when you saw Kian's footage of her, he's joking, he's dancing,
00:25:04.200
And that's how he handles most of the confrontations that people have with him.
00:25:09.780
He's good-natured and he doesn't let it bother him,
00:25:14.700
Well, I'll tell you, Sheila, if Liedem has some kind of Glenn Close fatal attraction crush on Kian,
00:25:27.620
You know, all these talking heads with the media party that were poo-pooing and retweeting her lies
00:25:38.220
now that they can watch your video and see what the real truth was,
00:25:43.320
I'd love to sit across from them from a table and say,
00:25:49.340
How can you not correct your support of this alleged victim
00:25:56.180
What do you think they would say to that question, Sheila?
00:25:59.280
I've been watching what they've been saying to that question.
00:26:02.780
And instead of retracting what they said about Kian,
00:26:05.360
they're commending Emily Liedem for her censorship tactics.
00:26:09.080
They're saying, oh, that's an interesting way of blocking the rebel
00:26:17.700
These people who are actually today celebrating Freedom of the Press Day or whatever it is,
00:26:23.960
they're actually considering interesting ways to censor our work online
00:26:31.040
Well, Sheila, we're going to have to wrap it there.
00:26:32.920
I'll close by saying you mentioned the Covington hoax
00:26:36.440
that especially in the U.S. mainstream media outlets perpetrated.
00:26:41.120
There are multi-million dollar lawsuits about that.
00:26:43.700
I hope he takes these media organizations for every penny that they're asking.
00:26:50.460
And maybe then, maybe when they feel it in their wallet
00:26:52.960
that you can't disseminate lies and pretend they're truth,
00:26:58.920
maybe then some of these media outlets will get it.
00:27:03.140
You know, they really are the enemy of the people, aren't they?
00:27:05.580
Yeah, I would say some of them even hate the common person.
00:27:13.500
I urge all our viewers to watch it if they haven't already done so.
00:27:23.920
More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
00:27:25.860
But alas, it is the t-shirt subsequent copy that is causing the controversy
00:27:38.520
because it turns out that LGBTQ stands for this.
00:27:51.280
A CNN report notes the t-shirts created outrage on social media.
00:28:01.540
wearing that shirt is effing offensive, end quote.
00:28:09.440
why is it that so many progressives can't make a salient point
00:28:26.700
with a mountain to climb in terms of acceptance.
00:28:30.380
The last thing we need is a food truck mocking us, end quote.
00:28:35.120
Jamie Smith, owner of Bell's Smoking Barbecue in Kentucky,
00:28:38.580
decided to have some fun with the LGBTQ initialism.
00:28:43.020
Too bad Mr. Smith momentarily forgot that 2019 is supposed to be a fun-free zone,
00:28:49.760
at least when it comes to certain segments of society.
00:28:52.760
And so it was that the SJW mob online went cuckoo,
00:28:56.880
condemning Smith and even getting his food truck banned from a handful of events.
00:29:04.600
here's what some of you had to say about Smith's unique take
00:29:08.260
on those five initials and the crazy over-the-top reaction he received
00:29:18.120
what mountains do the LGBTQ have left to climb exactly in 2019?
00:29:24.920
They are one of the most protected classes of marginalized in America.
00:29:31.520
that apparently you can't even wear a t-shirt they don't like
00:29:40.320
lots of tolerance for diversity when it comes to the left.
00:29:43.960
As long as we're not talking diversity of thought, that is.
00:29:50.040
Well, since you have learned absolutely nothing,
00:29:53.220
I am hereby stripping you of all your princess points.
00:30:02.660
I salute your moxie and your tongue-in-cheeky, tasty creativity.
00:30:19.240
I support Liberty Guns Bible Trump and barbecue as well.
00:30:40.320
you would think that the outraged would eventually ask,
