Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you, in which we look back at
00:00:04.200
some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favorite rebels. I'm your host, David Menzies.
00:00:10.060
Well, yesterday, Omar Khadr, our homegrown Islamist terrorist, he was back in a courtroom,
00:00:15.940
this time arguing for some of his bail conditions to be dropped. Kian Bexte was also in that Edmonton
00:00:22.500
courtroom, and he'll explain how it is that when it comes to sheer unmitigated gall, Omar Khadr
00:00:29.700
has no equal. And speaking of scumbags, Abdullahi Hashi Farah is many things. He's a drug dealer,
00:00:38.660
he's a gun smuggler, he's even a trafficker for pedophiles, so naturally he's just the sort of
00:00:45.440
person we'd want as a future Canadian citizen, right? Ezra Levant has all the unbelievable details,
00:00:53.180
and Sheila Gunn-Reed has just returned from the UN's Climate Change Conference in Poland,
00:00:57.460
and she'll explain why the UN slogan when it comes to climate change should really be
00:01:03.400
do as we say, not as we do. And finally, we get your letters every minute of every day,
00:01:10.240
and I'll share some of the letters we received regarding my journey to Marrakesh to cover the
00:01:14.840
UN's Conference on Migration. My first observation, while the UN doesn't care very much for developed
00:01:21.780
nations erecting walls and fences to protect their borders and citizens, this very same UN loves
00:01:29.080
walls and fences when it comes to protecting its own conference venue. A double standard much?
00:01:36.520
Those are your rebels, now let's round them up.
00:01:38.720
So the day started with us running around the Edmonton Court Centre trying to find out which
00:01:50.360
door Omar Khadr was going to choose to come into the building. Turns out we were right, we were the
00:01:55.320
first to head him off, and he came in the side door here where there's very little media, but we got to
00:01:59.540
him and we asked him if he regretted killing Christopher Speer. We asked him where his taxpayer-funded
00:02:04.400
fortune was, no answer, no answer at all. We followed him in, we went up the elevator with
00:02:09.240
his convicted terrorist, and he just stood there with a smile on his face. We went into the courtroom
00:02:15.020
and sat just right next to him, actually. When he sat there, we could see his socks. They were very
00:02:20.020
Trudeau-esque. We couldn't get that on camera, of course, because we're not allowed cameras in the
00:02:23.480
courtroom, but what we left with was a verdict from the judge saying, well, it was actually a lack of a
00:02:28.300
verdict, saying she was going to push it back about a week until next Friday. That's when we'll know
00:02:32.700
whether or not Omar Khadr will get a Canadian passport to travel to Saudi Arabia.
00:02:37.920
Call me rash, call me foolhardy, call me spiteful even, but you think that if a convicted murderer
00:02:44.080
regained his freedom after doing only 10 years in the slammer, and then went on to receive a $10.5
00:02:51.620
million check, courtesy of the taxpayers, well, you think that murderer might feel as though he had
00:02:58.440
just won the justice system sweepstakes, right? Oh, but not when it comes to Canada's homegrown
00:03:04.640
Islamist terrorist, Omar Khadr, for you see, not so little Omar was in a Edmonton courtroom yesterday,
00:03:11.600
and he turned on the charm to get his various bail conditions lifted so that he can travel outside the
00:03:17.200
country and speak to his terrorist-loving sister, Zanaib. And get this, Omar actually called his bail
00:03:25.580
conditions and injustice. Yes, that's right, he's the victim here, but just try telling that to the
00:03:32.540
family of Christopher Speer, the U.S. soldier Omar ruthlessly murdered. Joining me now is our rebel
00:03:39.400
reporter, Kian Bexte, who was in that Edmonton courtroom yesterday. Welcome to Rebel Roundup, Kian.
00:03:46.340
A pleasure. Now, Kian, help me make sense of this latest Omar Khadr courtroom drama here.
00:03:52.260
Since Omar confessed to murder, and since he and his lawyers signed off on all of his various bail
00:04:00.820
conditions, what in the world is his argument now in terms of trying to receive leniency?
00:04:07.700
Well, it's kind of weird because he doesn't really have an argument. His argument is,
00:04:12.140
he's been such a nice guy, you know, feel bad for me. I'm just some poor soul who got caught up in the
00:04:19.480
justice system. I mean, he's sure to say how great the justice system is. Of course, it awarded him
00:04:24.940
$10.5 million at the end of the day. Well, Justin Trudeau did at least. He doesn't have an argument.
00:04:35.120
You know, and the thing I think that grates Canadians so much about this case, Kian,
00:04:41.200
it's in addition to the horrific act of murder he carried out on an allied troop to Canada,
00:04:47.940
and of course, his ideology that he presumably might still subscribe to. It's the fact that all
00:04:55.660
these years later, and all these paychecks later, he has never, at least to my eyes and ears,
00:05:02.340
expressed any regret about what he did in his past.
00:05:06.360
You couldn't be more right about that. I was outside the courtroom. We were trying to head
00:05:12.580
him off, figure out which door he was coming in, and we chose the smaller door, figuring he was
00:05:17.540
going to go where the media weren't. So we waited there, and we talked to him. Well, at least we
00:05:24.280
tried to. We said, I asked him, Omar, do you regret killing Christopher Spear? And he just looked
00:05:30.540
straight ahead, kept walking, totally ignored me. I asked him where his offshore
00:05:36.340
if his money was offshore. He wouldn't answer me again. And then I followed him into the building,
00:05:40.600
passed the security checks, where they made sure he didn't have a grenade with him.
00:05:44.600
And then we went up the elevator, and he stood in the elevator and just smiled at me, knowing that
00:05:49.280
I couldn't record him and ask him any questions in the courthouse. He just smiled, smirked, and grinned.
00:05:54.200
It just, oh, I can understand why Canadians are frustrated with him.
00:05:59.860
You know, Kian, that anecdote you just shared with me, and I didn't know that happened until just a few
00:06:04.680
seconds ago of you in the elevator and him smiling and the smile being more of a sneer.
00:06:09.680
I think that is an incredible anecdote in terms of, I think what you saw was the real Omar Cotter.
00:06:17.780
You know, not the guy that goes to press conferences, you know, with the teary eyes and,
00:06:24.440
you know, the whole act of contrition and, oh, woe is me, the victim. But the fact that this is a guy
00:06:32.260
who literally not only got away with murder, but got an eight-figure check from Canadians too,
00:06:39.380
and he must think we are the biggest suckers on the planet, and you peeled back the onion skin
00:06:45.780
and saw the real Omar in that elevator, I should think.
00:06:49.180
I sure think I did. I think he has absolutely no remorse for what he does, what he did. He killed
00:06:56.460
Christopher Speer, but keep in mind he wounded many others. And he took $10.5 million away from
00:07:04.860
the taxpayers when we're in major debt and Justin Trudeau's deficit spending his way to the next
00:07:10.080
election. I think that we are going to be played as fools if we let Omar Cotter fly to Saudi Arabia,
00:07:18.720
keep in mind it's Saudi Arabia that he wants to go to, to speak with his sister, who has not denounced
00:07:25.180
al-Qaeda at all in any way whatsoever. Why does he want to do that? It just doesn't make any sense.
00:07:31.300
Oh, in fact, she openly mocks the West while, of course, taking all kinds of welfare from the West
00:07:39.700
to maintain her lifestyle, which again is another insidious point. But you're right. Do we want this
00:07:46.300
convicted murderer, self-confessed, going to a country that doesn't really have a good record when it comes
00:07:54.360
to terrorism, cavorting with family members who are pro-terrorism as far as I can tell? Surely this must be
00:08:02.620
weighing in in terms of the judge's decision. I know she's reserved her judgment, Kian, but surely
00:08:09.200
these have to be the pertinent relevant points in terms of him being granted an exclusion from these
00:08:17.200
bail conditions or not. Well, I don't consider myself a lawyer by any stretch of the means, but
00:08:22.660
from what I understand is that both the Alberta and Canadian Crown prosecutors were opposed to these
00:08:30.420
amendments to his bail conditions, which is actually a really big thing because bail, how bail is set is
00:08:37.760
very much dependent on what the prosecutors want. So because the Crown prosecutors from the federal
00:08:45.220
government, which keep in mind, this whole thing was delayed a few months so that the federal
00:08:50.260
prosecutor could get advice from the federal government on what to do. So you know that Justin
00:08:56.040
Trudeau explicitly decided to tell this Crown prosecutor to not support Omar Khadr here, which is
00:09:02.360
interesting, I think, heading up to the next election. We know that Justin Trudeau gave him $10.5 million
00:09:07.140
at the snap of his fingers. He didn't seem to care that much about it then, but he saw the outcry
00:09:12.880
afterwards. And now he's just trying to make amends, I think, by putting up a little bit of a fight and
00:09:18.480
saying, no, Omar, we want you to sort of pay for what you've done. But really, at the end of the day,
00:09:25.580
So Kian, I think in the weeks and months ahead, and this is just pure speculation on my part,
00:09:32.040
but I'm wondering if the other arrow in Omar's legalistic quiver is to play the Islamophobia card,
00:09:39.240
namely that as a devout Muslim, he must go to Mecca to take part in the Hajj and that to deny him
00:09:45.920
the opportunity to do so is not merely an attack on him and his family, but on his very faith.
00:09:51.540
And I'm just kind of worried you might have a judge here in Canada that would actually buy into
00:09:59.000
I mean, you don't have to speculate to see that. Omar Khadr is already doing that. As disgusting
00:10:05.040
as that sounds, as manipulative as that sounds, that's the first thing that he said when he went
00:10:09.640
out to the press conference to sob to the CBC and the rest of the mainstream media about his plight
00:10:14.760
and how awful his life has been, especially when he compared Canada to Guantanamo Bay.
00:10:20.340
It's absolutely astounding the lengths that this man will go to to manipulate Canadians.
00:10:26.600
Yeah, especially since from what I've read of Guantanamo Bay, it was not the hellhole it's
00:10:32.120
been depicted as, I mean, they were very accommodating to the Islamist terrorists that were there.
00:10:37.760
But one last question, Kian. You mentioned the CBC. The other appalling factor of the Qatar
00:10:44.260
saga is the fact that he and his family, at least in my eyes, seem to be just such wonderful
00:10:50.920
little media darlings. And I came across some mention, I think it was a CBC journalist, that
00:10:57.920
compared Omar's atrocities in the past to a teenager carrying out an act of vandalism in
00:11:06.560
his or her past, which is absolutely perverse and egregious. What have you picked up in terms
00:11:14.120
of how the media coverage has been regarding this individual?
00:11:20.500
You know, they, at that press conference, nobody was asking any tough questions whatsoever besides
00:11:27.000
besides the rebel who was there. They were, they were asking a few, you know, legal based questions.
00:11:33.740
Oh, what does, what do you, do you regret taking this legal path that you did that's put you in
00:11:38.100
this situation? That kind of thing. Nobody asked him if he regretted killing Christopher Spear. Nobody
00:11:44.220
asked him if he wished he could go back to when he was 15 years old and not throw a grenade,
00:11:50.500
changing the life of dozens of people who keep in mind, he's not the center of this story. The center
00:11:55.680
of this story of those wounded on the other end of his grenade. And the mainstream media has just
00:11:59.740
declined to, to actually shed any light on, on the other side of the story at all.
00:12:05.420
Well, Kenan, thanks for this report. I got to tell you, I don't know really who I have more contempt for,
00:12:10.980
the likes of Cotter or the government paying him off or the media that just thinks this is a little
00:12:19.100
darling. This is somehow a good news story of a juvenile delinquent reforming. There was just
00:12:25.300
so much blame to go around here, but thank you so much for going to court and seeing firsthand
00:12:30.540
what this fellow is really all about. No problem. Thanks for having me. You've got it. And that's
00:12:36.060
Kian Backstay in Edmonton. And folks, keep it here. More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
00:12:41.480
Abdullahi Hashifera's candid confession about his gangster past clearly impressed the Immigration and
00:12:56.120
Refugee Board officer who presided over his first detention hearing on November 1st, 2017.
00:13:01.880
I say, what? Sure, he was a gangster. Sure, he led a life of violence and crime. Sure, he was on the run
00:13:10.020
from police. But he was just so honest about it. I just really felt like we had this close connection.
00:13:20.120
Caught while crossing the border illegally near Emerson, Manitoba, the 27-year-old Somali citizen
00:13:27.780
readily told the Canada Border Services Agency, CBSA, officers he had an extensive criminal record,
00:13:35.700
had been a Somali outlaw's gang member in Minneapolis, and was fleeing an arrest warrant
00:13:43.300
for parole violation. Oh, wow. All that's missing were a bunch of, you know, FBI cars speeding behind
00:13:51.960
him with the flashing lights. Meet Abdullahi Hashifera. This Somalian-born thug on the run
00:13:58.520
from U.S. authorities is many things. He's a drug dealer. He's a gun smuggler. He's even trafficked
00:14:04.820
for pedophiles. So naturally, he's just the sort of person we'd want as a future Canadian citizen,
00:14:10.840
right? Well, at least one Immigration and Refugee Board member thought Farah was the bee's knees
00:14:16.480
because, well, he was just so darn honest about his criminal past. Joining me now with more on
00:14:22.860
this shocking story is Rebel Commander Ezra Lebed. Welcome to Rebel Roundup, Ezra.
00:14:27.040
Thanks. I couldn't believe this story when I read it. And almost as shocking was the fact that the
00:14:32.060
CBC published this, because they have gone to great lengths to be pro-migration, especially Muslim
00:14:38.900
migration, especially Somali Muslim migration. That's where, of course, Ahmed Hassan, our Immigration
00:14:44.260
Minister himself is from. So this is unusual because this guy, Abdullahi Farah, walked across
00:14:51.040
the border from Minnesota into Canada. So he's not coming from Somalia. He's been in Minnesota for
00:14:58.240
years. Which has a huge Somalian community, right? Yeah, but if you're in Somalia, you're not a refugee.
00:15:03.280
That's right. If you're in Minnesota, you're not a refugee. No. In fact, that's not just obvious
00:15:06.520
common sense. That's part of what's called the safe third party agreement between Canada and the
00:15:10.820
United States. By law, no one in Canada can apply for refugee status in America and vice versa,
00:15:16.360
because we all acknowledge you're not a refugee anymore. You're safe now. Yes. Now, whether or not
00:15:21.080
you're real or not is a different question. You might be sent home from one of these two countries,
00:15:25.760
but you can't apply for refugee status in the other guy's country. But Trudeau has allowed that
00:15:30.900
for some reason. But here's the crazy thing. This guy, Abdullahi Farah, criminal record as long as
00:15:39.020
your arm. And not just for trivial things. Guns. As you pointed out, he would essentially kidnap 12
00:15:46.780
year old girls and traffic them to be raped. Obviously drugs, obviously home invasion, robberies.
00:15:54.560
Like this guy, for all, I mean, he wasn't charged with murder, but it wouldn't shock me. So he, he just
00:16:02.400
walks across the border. He's wanted by police in the States. Yeah. So he's basically fleeing American
00:16:08.620
cops. He's not fleeing discrimination back in Somalia. Somalia is 99% Muslim. You're not, you're not at risk if
00:16:15.940
you're a Muslim in Somalia. That is all there are there. So he gets taken before an immigration and refugee
00:16:22.780
board judge. And for some reason, he, he just starts to talk about his time with a gang in
00:16:29.680
Minnesota called the Somali outlaws. That's a criminal gang. Yes. And he talks about all these
00:16:35.060
things he did. And instead of the judge saying, arrest this man and hand him over to the American
00:16:44.440
authorities, he's fleeing. This immigration judge says, you're so honest. I was so touched by your
00:16:50.960
honesty. I really think you're going to be honest in Canada now too. Come on in. And the border
00:17:00.080
services police were saying, no, no, your honor, wait, we're getting more information on this guy
00:17:04.640
from American police. Keep him in custody. Just a few more days, your honor. We're getting info on
00:17:09.360
this guy. No, no, no. I saw how honest he was. And one way I got to tell you this. He said, like,
00:17:17.080
how can you be a Muslim refugee from Muslim Somalia? How does that even work? He said,
00:17:22.380
oh, I'm gay, your honor. I'm, I'm super gay. I'm so gay, your honor. The very, they'd kill me back
00:17:31.580
home. I'm totally gay. I mean, uh, I watch Will and Grace. I'm super gay. And, and Ezra, this is a very
00:17:40.260
important point, I think, because this is, um, and it was a, it was a well played point on his behalf,
00:17:46.560
because this is the card he had to play to justify not going back to the U S to be deported to
00:17:53.380
Somalia, which is, as you said, 99% Muslim. But if you're a gay Muslim, that doesn't fly there.
00:17:59.300
But the thing is, obviously, if someone's willing to be a kidnapper, assist in the rape of children,
00:18:06.140
be a drug dealer, a gun dealer, they just might consider lying. Maybe. And in fact, he wasn't
00:18:13.160
gay. And police in his phone found all of his Tinder chats with women, found pictures of him
00:18:19.280
having sex with women, found no evidence of homosexuality. Obviously he's a liar. Um,
00:18:27.160
and the fact is he admitted he was a criminal in a terrible way. And instead of saying, okay,
00:18:33.260
thanks for your admission. Normally criminals aren't stupid enough to admit it. Um, get out.
00:18:39.320
He was welcomed in and he went on a crime spree in Canada. He was arrested in Edmonton. Um,
00:18:47.100
there was a getaway car that had been used in a bunch of convenience store robberies.
00:18:50.720
This is a one man crime wave. And he basically told that to us at the border. And he was,
00:18:59.160
he didn't slip through the cracks. This isn't someone who sneaked in. He walked in and he said,
00:19:05.320
he was brought to a judge and said, Hey judge. Yeah. It's just me. Somali outlaws. Uh, I do this
00:19:10.500
gang work and that gang work and this criminal work and that criminal work. So yeah, that's me. Oh,
00:19:14.440
but I'm gay. So will you let me in? Yes. And so, so he, he didn't slip in. He was welcomed in. He was
00:19:21.220
Well, and can you blame him? I mean, our prime minister put out a tweet basically saying it's open season.
00:19:26.440
Come on down. Like they say on price is right. But as well, let me ask you point blank. Who do
00:19:30.840
you have more contempt for? Uh, Mr. Farah, who is a criminal and, uh, actually was honest about his
00:19:38.060
criminality or the, uh, immigration and refugee board, uh, person here, a Trent cook that had this,
00:19:46.160
what I consider to be an absolutely perverse interpretation of his confessions and admissions
00:19:52.220
by applauding him for his honesty and letting him to come in to victimize Canadians.
00:19:57.820
Yeah. You know, it was so disgraceful. Um, someone who's an immigration and refugee board judge has an
00:20:04.300
enormous public duty. Uh, we entrust him with our safety and for him to be so derelict in his duty
00:20:12.260
shows a great disrespect for the law and for Canadians. And the fact that he was shown to be such a fool
00:20:19.680
here, uh, he not only disrespected us, but just out of self-respect, he should resign. Yeah. What he did,
00:20:30.240
all the, the wreckage and carnage in Canada, all these robberies, all this drug dealing in Canada,
00:20:39.200
because this damn fool, immigration and refugee board judge, I just, I really feel you're honest
00:20:46.220
and I really, you know, you're wonderful. No one like that should be in any position of authority.
00:20:54.660
Uh, if he had any respect for Canadians, this refugee board judge should resign. And, and he hasn't resigned
00:21:02.780
because he doesn't respect us. Well, to my, uh, knowledge, Ezra, he hasn't even, uh, shown any regret.
00:21:10.100
He hasn't even apologized. I tell me the system when it comes to these, uh, judges making these
00:21:16.580
outrageous decisions, uh, that results in the harm of other Canadians. Is there actually a process where
00:21:22.420
they can be removed for just making, you know, the bad call time and time again? You know, um,
00:21:29.060
this is an immigration and refugee board judge. So it's different than, than other judges. Uh,
00:21:34.340
most judges in Canada are appointed for life and are immune to political, um, retaliation, let's say.
00:21:42.660
Um, but there is a judicial council. Now the judicial council generally doesn't fire people just for
00:21:48.740
making a series of really stupid decisions. They only, because judges are allowed to make errors.
00:21:55.780
It's only unethical conduct, uh, or, or being drunk or not applying the law. You can apply the law
00:22:04.420
incorrectly. You can, like, we accept in advance that judges are going to get things wrong. That's why we
00:22:09.780
have courts of appeal. And we accept sometimes the courts of appeal will get things wrong. That's why we
00:22:14.180
have the Supreme Court. So you can't fire a judge just because they're wrong. Um, and I don't think that
00:22:20.500
this judge is stupidity and lack of concern for Canadians and the fact that he's just plain stupid.
00:22:29.700
I don't think that's enough to remove a judge from the court, but if he had any grace to him,
00:22:35.620
he would resign on his own device. Well, it's enough for me certainly to remove somebody like this,
00:22:40.660
because I see him as a danger to, uh, the safety, the public safety of Canadians, uh, on mass. And you
00:22:46.980
know, the other thing too, Ezra, even though he was apologetic for his criminal past, to me, there
00:22:52.660
was no indication that he was a reformed criminal. And I say that because as you mentioned in your
00:22:57.140
commentary, the very fact that he came into Canada, it made him an illegal or irregular immigrant. He
00:23:04.100
is breaking the law. It's just like what we endured last month with the migrant caravan. Homeland
00:23:08.660
Security said they had identified 270 hardened criminals. So the apologists would say, well, see,
00:23:14.660
Menzies, that means the vast majority of the 5,000 are law abiding citizens. Well, no, they're not.
00:23:20.580
They are trespassing on sovereign land without a passport or a visa. So every second of every day,
00:23:26.100
they're a criminal as was this individual. Anyone from Minnesota can apply to come to Canada.
00:23:30.980
Yeah. You go to the consulates, uh, or the embassy, or you go to the, an official border crossing,
00:23:37.460
a port of entry as it's called. Um, and you, so you, you walk up to the border to the, to the officer
00:23:44.420
and, and you say, I would like to apply. You don't come in illegally. What this guy came in
00:23:49.940
illegally. All the people at Roxham road between New York and Quebec are coming in illegally.
00:23:54.020
There's a huge sign that says it is illegal. Every single person who walks in and says,
00:24:00.180
I'm here to claim asylum. Their very first act in Canadian soil was breaking the law. And that's a
00:24:06.100
signal that they don't care about our laws. They're gaming the system. They're taking us for suckers.
00:24:10.580
And if their very first act is to audaciously break the law, you can bet that they're going to,
00:24:15.540
that they won't have compunction about breaking the law the next occasion. So you're correct.
00:24:20.820
I mean, it is possible if someone in Minnesota really wanted to come to move to Canada, you can
00:24:24.500
do that lawfully. He did not do that. These Mexican caravans did not do that. You can apply to move to
00:24:31.860
America. You can apply for asylum, go to the embassy in Mexico City, or there's probably 20 American
00:24:36.740
consulates through Mexico. Same thing. Canada has a ton of consulates in the US. These are criminal
00:24:42.180
lawbreakers. And it will not stop. In fact, you just came back from Marrakesh, where these migrants
00:24:49.620
are being granted human rights. Most international treaties are between states. So Canada and the
00:24:57.140
United States of Mexico have a free trade treaty. The three countries have rights and obligations to
00:25:03.460
each other as countries. The UN migration compact that you covered isn't really an international
00:25:09.060
treaty, because France doesn't have rights against Canada. Canada doesn't have rights against Japan.
00:25:15.220
It grants rights to individual migrants to say, I have the right to come to Canada now.
00:25:21.220
So when people say, oh, it's not actually a treaty. Well, no one said it was. But what it does is it gives
00:25:28.420
this Abdullahi Farah a legal right? He can say, well, in this 34-page compact, I have the right
00:25:35.860
to a human rights lawyer. I have the right to health care in my own language. It's in there.
00:25:41.300
I have the right to bring all my relatives over, regardless of their skill level. That's in there.
00:25:48.180
So he can show this document to the Immigration Review Board, because Section 33F of the Immigration
00:25:55.540
and Refugee Protection Act clearly says, Canadian law must take into account any international
00:26:02.100
documents we've signed. And this week, Canada signed the Global Compact for Migration. I'm
00:26:08.180
shocked that this guy will even be deported. And he hasn't been deported yet. He might yet not be.
00:26:13.940
Incredible. Ezra, an amazing story. There's so many other angles, but we have to wrap it here. And folks,
00:26:18.740
there we have it. In terms of Mr. Farah, that's just one example of one egregious person
00:26:24.980
playing the system. The question for which we do not have an answer to is how many other
00:26:29.300
frauds in the last three years have come to our country? Is it dozens, hundreds, a few thousand?
00:26:34.100
We don't know. And I think that that's a very ominous feeling I have in my heart regarding
00:26:40.340
our immigration system, to be sure. Keep it here. More Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
00:26:45.140
It's our second day here in Katowice, Poland for the 24th Annual UN Climate Change Conference. And
00:26:58.340
this is truly the conference that irony built. Last night, it was cold and a little bit damp.
00:27:05.140
Today, the Climate Change Conference is enjoying some climate change, as in the climate change for the
00:27:10.100
worst. It's snowing. It's a blizzard here today. As per usual at UN Climate Change Conferences,
00:27:16.660
there's the dull hum of diesel generators and diesel heat heating everything inside these disposable
00:27:23.940
buildings here to my left. And there's some high-level trolling going on by the Polish government.
00:27:31.300
You see, where I'm standing right now, it's the Cilician Museum. It's a museum to the area's
00:27:38.340
industrial history, namely coal mining. And the conference butts up to and is on part of the
00:27:47.700
museum grounds. And it's a tip of the hat from the Polish government to the United Nations that,
00:27:54.340
despite what they are talking about inside these conferences, phasing out coal, that coal will
00:27:59.860
always be a part of Poland's future here. So what did we learn from the most recent United Nations
00:28:06.340
climate change conference? Well, for starters, the UN's hypocrisy apparently knows no bounds.
00:28:12.500
So when the thermometer plunges, they just crank up those carbon-spewing generators to
00:28:18.100
generate some heat. After all, freezing in the dark is only for the deplorables, not for the UN elites.
00:28:25.620
So certainly, the UN learned a valuable lesson itself earlier this week pertaining to climate change.
00:28:31.860
And I think that lesson is this. Next time, don't schedule a climate change shindig
00:28:37.620
in Poland in December. And with more on the UN's latest display of double standard virtue signaling
00:28:44.580
is our very own Sheila Gunn-Reed. Joining me now from Poland, welcome to Rebel Roundup, my friend.
00:28:52.020
Always a pleasure, Sheila. Now, Sheila, for starters, to paraphrase a line from what's become the most
00:28:58.660
politically incorrect Christmas song, namely, baby, it was cold outside. It's kind of funny
00:29:05.620
that the UN head honchos wouldn't even let you in the building to warm up. Why, Sheila?
00:29:13.060
Well, as you know, I was banned from the United Nations climate change conference
00:29:17.460
because I asked a question of a Canadian delegate two years ago, which resulted in
00:29:22.820
us being banned last year and again this year. And I guess you being banned in Morocco also.
00:29:28.900
So apologies for that. But I think you were able to get some fantastic work done while
00:29:33.220
you were there in Morocco. Oh, so you're to blame for my
00:29:35.460
banning too. And I'm the lovable one. You're the feisty troublemaker. I mean, why are they taking it out
00:29:40.180
on me? Isn't this against leftist principles of profiling, you know, a group? I mean, you know,
00:29:45.860
shouldn't they be using it just for individuals? But no, you're right. Sometimes the anarchy and
00:29:50.900
the nonsense outside the conferences is better than the snore fest that's presumably happening
00:29:57.700
inside. And certainly with your segment, Sheila, again, it was so delightful. There was so much
00:30:04.980
unintentional comedy all over the map in that city where you went. Like, for example, the Canadian
00:30:11.540
Santa Claus that lives in China. What was the deal with that guy?
00:30:16.580
That guy was Sustainable Claus. That's what his name was. And he was out on the street corner with
00:30:23.060
these like two really dirty stuffed animals. And he was warning everybody about the dangers of
00:30:31.380
indulgently using fossil fuels. And then he went on to tell us that he's a Canadian who lives in China,
00:30:38.340
the world's most polluted country, arguably, who last year, took a group of him and his friends
00:30:45.460
to the top of Mount Everest, which seems like you need a lot of hydrocarbons to do that sort of stuff,
00:30:52.100
again, to demonstrate climate change, like the whole conference. The people in Poland are
00:30:58.900
dangerously normal. They don't even pay attention to this stuff. They walk past a generator like it's
00:31:07.620
nothing like I would normally do at home. You see a generator at home, you just walk past it. It's just
00:31:12.660
how things are when it's cold out. But all these delegates at the climate change conference, they're
00:31:18.820
inside another world. It's literally a big bubble that they're inside and they don't even know how they're
00:31:25.620
staying warm outside as there's a literal blizzard outside. Like there was a blizzard on the United
00:31:32.020
Nations lizards and they didn't even realize how they were staying warm. Like they completely tuned
00:31:38.500
out the hum of the diesel generators that were keeping them comfortable. And you know, here's what
00:31:44.260
gets me, Sheila, that you would think these UN poobahs, just for optics, would for one of these climate
00:31:50.820
change conferences or any conference practice what they preach. For example, in Morocco, and I bet it
00:31:56.340
was the same in Poland, what I noticed in terms of the vehicles ushering delegates to the conference
00:32:03.380
venue, we're talking six-figure V8 and even V12 Mercedes-Benz automobiles, not bicycles. I presume they
00:32:11.700
didn't walk to Marrakesh. They probably flew in a jet and they probably flew first class. And so it's
00:32:18.900
carbon galore. Yet these people with a straight face have the audacity to say, can you turn the
00:32:26.100
thermostat down? Can you turn the lights off? Can you go back to the dawn of man? Because we had a
00:32:30.900
more of a carbon neutral footprint back then. I am just stunned by the hypocrisy, Sheila.
00:32:35.860
Well, you saw it firsthand yourself. You were in Morocco, so I know you saw that parking lot full of
00:32:43.220
idling cars, the idling six-figure cars. Those things are customary at United Nations.
00:32:48.820
The same thing at Bonn, Germany last year. All the cars were idling to keep the delegates toasty and
00:32:55.620
warm for their 30-foot walk from the conference to the car. The cars idle for two hours. We staked
00:33:02.900
out the tram station to see if any of the delegates were using the trams. They really weren't. The tram
00:33:08.820
station ended up being a place of protest, actually, for Greenpeace. The electric bikes,
00:33:16.500
those things are also genuinely... The same thing happened in Bonn, Germany. Nobody used the bikes
00:33:23.620
to get around. The same thing here. Nobody used the bikes. We staked out the bikes for quite a while.
00:33:29.220
We saw that three were missing, but those three never came back. So hopefully they were stolen
00:33:34.100
by someone who will use them. You know, and Sheila, here's another thing. I'd like you to explain to me,
00:33:39.780
because I can't quite figure this out, why the UN would choose Poland for this climate change
00:33:46.020
conference. I say this based on a few things. First of all, you said that the Poles are shockingly
00:33:51.780
normal, reasonable people that don't buy into this dogma. Secondly, this is a country that is very much
00:33:59.860
pro-coal. So was this the UN saying, like foisting itself on Poland, almost trying to do a conversion
00:34:09.220
of Polish attitudes to get them over to their side of things?
00:34:13.620
It's a battle of wits, I think. I was talking to Mark Morano, and he said in the last 10 years or so,
00:34:19.780
Poland has ended up hosting these things three times. Because the United Nations wants to focus
00:34:25.540
on Poland, because if they can't get Poland to buy in, they really can't get Eastern Europe
00:34:30.980
to buy into their climate change dogma. So they keep focusing on Poland. But Poland won't budge.
00:34:38.580
In fact, they put the conference in Katowice, which is the heart of coal country. I went actually
00:34:45.380
downtown today to buy some souvenirs for my kids, and everything has a coal miner on it, which I love.
00:34:52.660
But Poland put the whole conference in Katowice basically to say to the United Nations,
00:35:00.900
yeah, we'll take your tourist dollars. Yeah, we'll take the economic benefit of having 22,000
00:35:06.500
do-gooders come to our city of 300,000. But no, coal is not going anywhere.
00:35:12.740
Wow. And I think the UN is delusional if they think they can wear down the Poles. The Poles are
00:35:17.220
resilient people. They put up with the Nazis. They put up with the Soviet communists. So the idea
00:35:24.100
that they're going to buy into this new age, wacky way of supposedly heating our homes and fueling our
00:35:31.860
vehicles is a pipe dream, to say the least. Sheila, one last question. Of all the crazy inanity that you
00:35:39.380
saw outside the conference, is there one lasting, enduring memory you have of just something that
00:35:46.260
was so bizarre or so unintentionally funny for all the wrong reasons? Well, there was one that was
00:35:52.740
actually intentionally funny. It was when Mark Morano from Climate Depot dressed in this atrocious
00:36:02.100
Santa costume. He looked like homeless Santa. And he took a bag of coal across the street from the
00:36:09.460
conference and went into the Greenpeace offices and gave them all little lumps of coal. And they
00:36:16.660
just sat there sort of shell shocked and dumbfounded as Mark Morano and his entourage barged into their
00:36:23.700
offices and gave them coal for being naughty, trying to force Poland away from their own sovereignty,
00:36:30.180
away from their freedom from the Soviet Union, to be quite honest, and from Putin or the reborn
00:36:36.100
Soviet Union under Putin. And he gave them all coal for being naughty and trying to betray
00:36:42.420
the sovereignty of Poland and forcing them away from coal. Well, good for Mark. And that's fantastic.
00:36:46.900
Although I got to tell you, Sheila, the fatal flaw of that caper was that these people have never
00:36:51.540
seen a lump of coal in their lives. Mark should have said these are dilithium crystals and they would
00:36:56.180
hug the guy for bringing this alternative futuristic feel to them. So anyway, Sheila,
00:37:01.700
again, you did a fantastic job, especially since you couldn't even, like myself, you couldn't even
00:37:06.900
get into the bloody conference hall. But there's more grist for the mill outside as always. So
00:37:13.220
thank you again for your wonderful reports. Hey, David, thanks for having me on. You got it. And
00:37:18.260
that's Sheila Gunn-Reed from Poland. And folks, keep it here. More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
00:37:31.220
Well, folks, walking around the UN compound here in Marrakesh, the irony is staggering. After all,
00:37:37.780
the people attending the UN conference on migration, oh, they hate fences and walls. They're all about open
00:37:45.220
migration. They don't like the idea of borders. But check out this place. There's lots of fences and
00:37:51.540
walls. And not only that, there is heavily armed security and police everywhere you go, even bomb
00:37:57.940
sniffing dogs. And if you can get actually to the conference entry, you're going to go through
00:38:04.340
airport style security before you get anywhere near any of the delegates taking part in this conference.
00:38:11.700
So I guess it's two sets of rules, isn't it? I mean, for us, deplorables, no walls, no fences,
00:38:18.260
no borders. But for the UN elite, well, they very much like walls and fences. And they will only get
00:38:25.860
together in an environment that rivals Fort Knox in terms of security. Well, knock me down with a
00:38:32.580
feather. Once again, the rank and file of United Nations people just can't help themselves when it
00:38:38.500
comes to being shameless hypocrites, which is to say I discovered earlier this week that walls and
00:38:44.420
fences are oh, so very bad when it comes to nations curtailing the 258 million migrants the world over
00:38:52.820
who are seeking greener pastures. But when it comes to a UN confab, oh boy, to these fat cats love the idea
00:39:01.940
of being kept safe and sound within a gated community. All the better to keep the riffraff
00:39:07.860
out, after all. In any event, here's what some of you had to say about the UN's ongoing official slogan of
00:39:14.420
do as I say, not as I do. Janice Van Horn writes,
00:39:18.580
Oh, but that's the thing, Janice, the UN elite is already very much used to living this way. When
00:39:35.300
they met up in Marrakesh at the migrant conference, they merely imported the fences and walls and armed
00:39:40.900
security that is oh so de rigueur for them back in their home countries. And MV Aranda 1000 writes,
00:39:50.020
And we pay the bill for both scenarios. Well, you nailed it, MV. This was one of the perversely
00:39:55.940
ironic things I discovered when covering the migrant caravan in southern Mexico last month,
00:40:01.300
as some 5000 Central Americans headed towards the USA. Namely, given all the UN people and resources on
00:40:08.740
the ground, American taxpayers were essentially funding an invasion of their own country. And I
00:40:15.620
think most American taxpayers would prefer their hard earned cash going towards, oh, I don't know,
00:40:27.060
Go to the door and tell them you want to freely migrate in. I don't see the problem. Oh, if only it
00:40:33.140
were that easy, my friend, we did go through the airport style security to get to the media
00:40:38.420
registration desk to request our credentials. We were told those credentials would not be forthcoming
00:40:44.740
due to our bad behavior at previous UN conferences. And how does one define bad behavior? Is it by asking
00:40:54.100
questions that the UN elites consider to be, oh, I don't know, impolite? Well, yeah, apparently journalists
00:41:00.420
who don't perform like trained seals make for media non grata. And Alfalfa6945 writes,
00:41:08.420
The rebel needs to form a caravan and cross those guarded borders. Everyone knows a caravan is the
00:41:14.420
ticket to having the fake media take notice and get on your side. Oh, my God, Alfalfa,
00:41:20.580
what a brilliant idea. I wish we really had thought of that. Then again, there was tons of heavily armed
00:41:27.220
security at this conference. And I'm pretty sure if we had gone for gold, we would have received lead
00:41:34.180
instead. Well, that wraps up another edition of Rebel Roundup. Thanks so much for joining us.
00:41:40.100
See you next week. And hey, folks, never forget, without risk, there can be no glory. Good night.
