00:00:00.500 You're listening to a Rebel Media Podcast.
00:00:03.700 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you,
00:00:07.340 in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favourite rebels.
00:00:12.080 I'm your host, David Menzies.
00:00:14.360 Well, some bad news on the electoral front.
00:00:17.440 Elections Canada admits there are more than 112,000 illegal voters on the federal voters list.
00:00:25.920 Oh, and here's some even worse news, folks.
00:00:28.580 Elections Canada says it doesn't have enough time to fix this problem before October's federal election.
00:00:36.640 It's barbecue season right now, after all.
00:00:39.480 Sheila Gunn-Reed will weigh in on this egregious situation.
00:00:44.460 Well, Mr. Bextie went to Washington recently, and guess what happened?
00:00:49.280 He was given the royal treatment by the Americans,
00:00:51.340 but he was actually denied entry to the Canadian Embassy by the Prime Minister's office
00:00:57.840 due to, what, rebel derangement syndrome?
00:01:01.660 He and Bextie will weigh in on Justin Trudeau's slimy ways
00:01:06.140 when it comes to banning media outlets that dare to rock the boat.
00:01:10.980 And finally, letters.
00:01:12.420 We get your letters.
00:01:13.120 We get them every minute of every day.
00:01:14.840 And I'll share some of your responses regarding how one media outlet,
00:01:18.860 that would be little old us,
00:01:21.260 had to be fraud-marched out of an Eid Mubarak dinner
00:01:25.140 hosted by the Canadian Muslim Vote
00:01:27.300 and featuring Justin Trudeau as the guest of honour.
00:01:31.820 Hey, I'm feeling deja vu right now,
00:01:34.420 but apparently we aren't government-approved
00:01:37.560 and or union-approved and or Muslim-approved media,
00:01:41.500 so therefore, that makes us media non grata.
00:01:45.260 Nice.
00:01:46.480 Those are your rebels.
00:01:47.440 Now let's round them up.
00:01:48.640 An order paper question asked by Alberta Conservative MP Blake Richards
00:02:09.400 shows us just how serious the Liberals really are
00:02:13.040 about protecting Canadian elections.
00:02:14.820 The answer is that it might be just too much work for them.
00:02:19.300 Here's the question.
00:02:21.240 With regard to the approximately 103,000 non-citizens
00:02:26.300 who were found to be on the National Register of Electors illegally,
00:02:30.900 how many voted in the 42nd general election in 2015?
00:02:36.380 How many voted in each of the 338 electoral districts
00:02:40.940 in the 42nd general election in 2015?
00:02:44.820 How many voted in any federal by-election held since October 20th, 2015?
00:02:50.700 And what is the breakdown by each riding where a by-election has been held?
00:02:57.620 Hang on here.
00:02:58.420 103,000 non-citizens were on the National Register of Electors?
00:03:03.080 That's shocking, really.
00:03:04.640 More than the population of Red Deer, Alberta.
00:03:07.660 Now the response back from the Ministry of Democratic Institutions
00:03:11.740 is even more troubling.
00:03:13.380 Here's what we know from the response.
00:03:16.340 That 103,000 number is actually much higher.
00:03:21.000 It's actually 112,000.
00:03:24.260 And Elections Canada says they're taking steps now
00:03:27.700 to remove these names in advance of the 2019 general election.
00:03:32.320 Will they all be removed by then?
00:03:34.860 Who really knows?
00:03:35.740 Well, welcome to electoral integrity, Justin Trudeau style.
00:03:40.600 Namely, the ongoing threats to social media censorship
00:03:44.100 pertaining to the upcoming fall federal election.
00:03:47.500 After all, the control freak liberals don't want any more bad press
00:03:52.020 to leak out, a la SNC-Lavalin and Admiral Norman,
00:03:56.340 and of course, Gropegate.
00:03:57.780 But in the meantime, incredibly, there are more than 112,000 illegal voters
00:04:05.540 that are on the federal voters list.
00:04:08.840 Worse, the gatekeeper bureaucracy here, Elections Canada,
00:04:12.400 openly admits that they have no idea of knowing what the consequences are
00:04:17.080 of having those people on the list.
00:04:19.200 And even though Elections Canada had almost four years to rectify this mess,
00:04:24.760 they didn't.
00:04:25.940 And now, apparently, they don't have enough time.
00:04:29.400 And it's too much work for Elections Canada to repair this problem
00:04:33.740 in time for the October federal election.
00:04:36.320 I mean, hey folks, after all, with the Dominion Day holiday just around the corner,
00:04:40.480 we're into barbecue season right now.
00:04:43.480 This is a dereliction of duty.
00:04:45.560 This is an outrage, and this is nothing short of a slap in the face
00:04:50.700 to every law-abiding, tax-paying Canadian who plays by the rules.
00:04:56.700 The question now is this.
00:04:58.800 Given what we now know about this problem, where do we go from here?
00:05:04.160 Joining me now with more on this egregious situation
00:05:07.200 is the host of The Gun Show, Sheila Gunn-Reed.
00:05:09.940 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, my friend.
00:05:12.320 Hey, David. Thanks for having me on.
00:05:13.780 Thank you, Sheila.
00:05:14.560 Now, Sheila, this is downright disturbing to me,
00:05:18.620 and I would imagine most law-abiding Canadians.
00:05:21.800 But I'm going to pose a hypothetical question here.
00:05:24.840 Do you think that the governing Liberals were fully aware
00:05:28.220 of this Elections Canada mess, yet they allowed it to fester?
00:05:32.700 Because, hey, maybe the majority of those 112,000 illegal voters
00:05:37.020 are perhaps voting Liberal?
00:05:38.760 Well, we do know that the Elections Canada bureaucracy is partisan,
00:05:46.140 whether they want to admit it or not.
00:05:47.540 We can just see that with their bizarre focus on things.
00:05:50.680 They have this censorship focus where they want to censor Google and YouTube,
00:05:56.760 and now I see that Twitter has given in to their censorship demands
00:06:00.060 and says that they won't allow any political advertising in the lead-up to the writ being dropped
00:06:06.380 that just was announced Wednesday.
00:06:09.760 So, you know, they are very partisan.
00:06:13.580 All we have to do is look at their latest Elections Influencer Scheme,
00:06:19.140 where they were going to hire 13 Elections Influencers, social media influencers,
00:06:26.280 not a conservative in the bunch, not a blue-collar type in the bunch,
00:06:29.960 not an oil patch advocate in the bunch,
00:06:32.080 all either openly partisan Liberals or people from pretty liberal industries
00:06:37.660 like TV and, you know, Olympic sports,
00:06:41.740 to try to get the vote out during the next election.
00:06:46.840 And, you know, when you're hiring people with a Liberal audience,
00:06:50.060 you're only trying to mobilize Liberal voters.
00:06:52.980 And that's what Elections Canada has been up to the past four years.
00:06:57.040 While they were fully aware,
00:06:59.100 the first estimate was 103,000 illegal voters were on the voter rolls.
00:07:05.620 But when the final results of an order paper question came back,
00:07:08.620 it's actually 112,000.
00:07:10.700 So it's even worse than Elections Canada first suspected.
00:07:14.760 And they haven't done anything to address it.
00:07:16.880 And there were several ridings,
00:07:20.400 in particular the Pipeline Minister's riding,
00:07:22.980 Amarjeet Sohi,
00:07:24.280 that were, you know, under a couple hundred votes.
00:07:26.960 They were that close, had to undergo several recounts.
00:07:31.620 These votes are enough to have flipped some pretty important ridings in the country
00:07:37.460 if these people voted illegally.
00:07:40.240 And Elections Canada doesn't have a clue.
00:07:42.260 Oh, this is by no means insignificant.
00:07:44.260 But, Sheila, I want to touch upon the...
00:07:47.480 This is what's making my blood boil.
00:07:49.580 And if anyone who loves democracy should make their blood boil.
00:07:52.780 If there is one element of the bureaucracy that should be nonpartisan,
00:07:59.920 that should be blind to politics 100%,
00:08:02.940 it is something like Elections Canada.
00:08:05.560 I'm not, you know, using hype here when I say that, you know,
00:08:09.860 if you don't have this bureaucracy playing by the rules strictly,
00:08:15.080 this is the very bedrock of our democracy.
00:08:19.320 A fair and open and transparent election campaign.
00:08:23.780 And when they start getting this politicized,
00:08:27.880 this just, you know, ruins the system, quite frankly.
00:08:31.780 It should never be done.
00:08:33.540 It should never be allowed to happen in the first place, Sheila.
00:08:37.320 Well, yeah.
00:08:38.080 And, you know, you've got the Liberals who literally won't shut up about elections integrity
00:08:41.800 and cracking down on foreign meddling
00:08:44.580 to the point where they want to censor normal, everyday Canadians.
00:08:47.300 But this is actual, tangible voter fraud if these people voted.
00:08:53.780 It's tangible.
00:08:54.940 And the first time the Liberals even started to put this on their radar
00:08:58.600 in a way that they could weed out some of these non-citizen people
00:09:02.420 on their voter rolls was earlier in the spring.
00:09:05.480 I think it was April.
00:09:07.580 April, four years after the last election,
00:09:10.300 that they started to think,
00:09:11.360 maybe we should cross-reference some of these voter registration lists
00:09:15.780 with information from Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada.
00:09:19.520 So they even have the names to weed these people out.
00:09:24.900 They don't actually even have to go and phone up every single one of these people
00:09:28.900 and ask for, you know, their citizenship card.
00:09:31.360 They can get the information directly from a government agency,
00:09:34.400 cross-reference it, and cross these people off the list,
00:09:37.220 or for that matter, refer them for elections fraud
00:09:41.360 if they did actually vote,
00:09:42.880 knowing full well they couldn't vote.
00:09:44.600 And none of that is really happening
00:09:47.520 except, you know, just the last couple of months.
00:09:50.940 You know, conveniently without enough time
00:09:53.360 to really get the job done before the next election.
00:09:55.980 But Sheila, I think right now,
00:09:57.580 everyone watching this segment
00:09:59.340 is screaming this very relevant question.
00:10:02.540 How did this happen in the first place?
00:10:04.660 We're not talking one or two or 12
00:10:07.240 ineligible voters being admitted to the list.
00:10:10.920 We're talking about 112,000.
00:10:13.300 And I'm just trying to understand,
00:10:16.060 and perhaps you can give it to me, Sheila,
00:10:17.760 what the nitty-gritty, tangible process was
00:10:21.980 in getting somebody who couldn't qualify to vote
00:10:25.180 on the list in the first place.
00:10:28.280 Well, you know, Canada doesn't exactly have
00:10:31.240 the most stringent voter ID laws.
00:10:34.160 You can show up and you can have somebody vouch for you.
00:10:38.060 You can show up and say,
00:10:39.300 yeah, I vouch that so-and-so is a citizen
00:10:41.960 eligible to vote, lives in this riding.
00:10:44.300 And that's all you need.
00:10:45.540 So if you're not afraid of perjuring yourself,
00:10:49.140 then you can be a voucher for someone
00:10:53.160 who's an illegal voter.
00:10:55.040 There's no requirement to show up with your passport
00:10:57.940 or your gun license or your driver's license.
00:11:01.680 You can just show up with a piece of mail,
00:11:08.300 like a bill, and say, yeah, I'm eligible to vote.
00:11:11.360 Trust me, I'm a Canadian citizen.
00:11:12.940 And I think you know a little bit about this, David,
00:11:15.420 because you did dress in a burqa and voted.
00:11:18.140 And they didn't seem all that concerned
00:11:19.920 with confirming your identity.
00:11:21.480 It was absolutely surreal.
00:11:23.500 But the question is, Sheila, why isn't a passport
00:11:27.580 or a firearms license or a driver's license
00:11:30.840 or a citizenship card, why isn't this ID necessary?
00:11:34.760 I mean, if you or I want to fly just for a leisure trip,
00:11:38.840 we can't get out of an airport without identification.
00:11:42.240 We can't cross a border if we're driving,
00:11:44.820 you know, across the U.S.-Canada border.
00:11:47.060 I mean, the very idea that I'm this guy
00:11:51.760 and this guy, you know, he pinky swears I'm who I say I am,
00:11:56.080 that can't be allowed to happen
00:11:58.720 because you know it's going to be abused.
00:12:01.500 And here's the proof in the pudding,
00:12:03.000 112,000 cases of abuse.
00:12:06.520 Well, yeah.
00:12:07.340 And when people try to change these laws,
00:12:10.480 to tighten them up,
00:12:11.460 to preserve the integrity of our election,
00:12:14.060 to make sure that my vote and your vote
00:12:17.020 isn't nullified by 112,000 illegal voters,
00:12:22.120 that's more than the population of Red Deer, Alberta, by the way.
00:12:26.800 Every time somebody introduces a motion
00:12:29.100 to tighten this stuff up,
00:12:31.180 they are accused of racism.
00:12:32.860 They are accused of saying,
00:12:33.980 you are targeting immigrant communities,
00:12:36.600 marginalized communities, refugee communities.
00:12:39.640 I think that's the bigotry of low expectations.
00:12:41.960 I think that immigrant and refugee communities
00:12:44.920 who, those among them who are eligible to vote
00:12:47.900 in Canadian elections,
00:12:49.020 are just as capable as I am
00:12:51.580 of going and getting the proper ID
00:12:53.820 and turning it up at the ballot box.
00:12:56.680 It is absolute bigotry to say that
00:12:58.900 these folks are incapable
00:13:00.320 of meeting the very basic requirements to cast a vote.
00:13:03.360 You know, it is the racism of lowered expectations, Sheila,
00:13:06.060 and I would even go one step further.
00:13:08.180 For many people who have immigrated legally into Canada
00:13:12.060 from really horrible, nasty regimes,
00:13:15.360 one of the things they cherish here
00:13:17.200 is that we do have democracy.
00:13:19.080 This is not North Korea or Venezuela or Iran.
00:13:23.620 And the idea that this, you know,
00:13:26.920 precious gem of democracy
00:13:28.920 should be watered down in such a fashion,
00:13:32.440 that's disgraceful.
00:13:34.840 So they would want this system
00:13:37.440 preserved and enshrined, I should think.
00:13:40.600 Well, yeah, I mean,
00:13:41.740 you really only have to look at
00:13:43.120 the Chinese community in Burnaby, British Columbia.
00:13:46.620 They are the ones who are sounding the alarm bells
00:13:49.540 about, I guess,
00:13:51.800 the impolite term would be anchor babies
00:13:54.140 from China, Chinese women who are coming to Burnaby
00:13:57.100 and having their babies
00:13:59.280 and then using that baby,
00:14:01.920 who's now a Canadian citizenship
00:14:03.400 through birthright citizenship
00:14:05.100 to sponsor the rest of the family into the country.
00:14:08.460 And it's the Chinese community in Burnaby,
00:14:11.580 the Chinese immigrant community,
00:14:12.800 who are the ones who are saying
00:14:14.440 this is unfair and something needs to be done.
00:14:17.680 And yet the Liberals will call them racist
00:14:20.600 against Chinese people
00:14:21.660 for wanting to preserve the value
00:14:23.300 of Canadian citizenship.
00:14:24.760 And you know, something can be done
00:14:26.460 because that loophole in the UK
00:14:28.960 in the early 80s was taken away.
00:14:32.440 So we know there is a solution
00:14:33.740 and there should be a solution
00:14:35.220 for this Elections Canada garbage
00:14:37.540 because that's what it is, Sheila.
00:14:39.020 And I hope, you know,
00:14:39.980 we got to wrap right now,
00:14:41.280 but I hope if we indeed have regime change
00:14:44.260 come October,
00:14:45.840 that the new people in charge
00:14:48.400 will take care and clean up this mess.
00:14:51.240 And by the way, one last thing,
00:14:53.000 this idea of Elections Canada saying,
00:14:55.580 oh, we've run out of time,
00:14:57.500 oh, it's too much work,
00:14:59.540 shame on them,
00:15:00.480 just shame on them
00:15:01.440 for basically throwing in the white flag of surrender,
00:15:05.100 assuming they aren't colluding
00:15:06.980 with this watered down,
00:15:08.920 no one is illegal kind of mindset
00:15:10.860 in the first place.
00:15:12.740 Yeah, I mean,
00:15:13.780 making sure the votes that were cast
00:15:15.600 were proper votes
00:15:16.560 is literally their only job.
00:15:19.000 Everything else is noise.
00:15:20.340 And I hope if the Conservatives get in power
00:15:23.580 in October,
00:15:24.800 that they gut Elections Canada
00:15:27.280 and weed out all these bureaucrats
00:15:29.240 who are jeopardizing the value of our elections.
00:15:31.740 Amazing.
00:15:32.180 It's like telling the city dog catcher
00:15:33.800 to go catch some dogs
00:15:34.920 and he says,
00:15:35.960 what, you want me to catch dogs?
00:15:37.220 What do you think I am?
00:15:38.300 Sheila, we got to wrap this up.
00:15:40.940 Thank you so much.
00:15:41.720 An excellent commentary once again, my friend.
00:15:44.360 Great, David.
00:15:44.900 Have a great weekend.
00:15:45.740 You got it.
00:15:46.440 Happy Dominion Day to you.
00:15:47.840 And that was Sheila Gunn-Reed in Alberta.
00:15:50.200 Keep it here, folks.
00:15:50.980 More of Rebel Roundup to come
00:15:52.240 right after this.
00:16:00.800 You know, my boss, Ezra Levant,
00:16:02.360 was joking when he called it the media party.
00:16:04.520 But in fact, it's true.
00:16:06.360 And I just confirmed it on video.
00:16:08.680 A prime minister's office staffer
00:16:10.140 stopped me from going in those doors
00:16:12.000 because I have this microphone
00:16:13.500 for no other reason than that.
00:16:15.620 I came to the White House.
00:16:16.680 I covered Donald Trump and Trudeau
00:16:18.680 appearing with him
00:16:20.260 for a very brief 80 minutes.
00:16:22.720 Most of that was taken up
00:16:23.720 with local reporters
00:16:24.780 talking about Iran.
00:16:26.160 So Justin Trudeau
00:16:26.840 had a pathetic amount of time
00:16:28.180 with the leader of the free world.
00:16:30.140 So he comes here to speak with media
00:16:31.480 in a controlled environment
00:16:32.940 where the Canadian Press Gallery
00:16:34.380 decides who can and who cannot
00:16:37.180 go and speak to the prime minister.
00:16:39.360 Now you're saying,
00:16:39.800 oh, well, Kean,
00:16:40.620 the Canadian Press Gallery
00:16:41.520 is an independent third-party organization.
00:16:43.760 Au contraire.
00:16:44.480 It's not.
00:16:45.760 Listen to what this PMO staffer
00:16:47.220 had to say.
00:16:48.140 Good, how are you?
00:16:48.640 So you won't be able to come in
00:16:50.000 to the event.
00:16:52.520 Why?
00:16:53.240 Just because your organization
00:16:54.420 is associated with white nationalism
00:16:56.220 and white supremacy.
00:16:57.420 And those values and views
00:16:59.340 are not welcome in this place.
00:17:01.560 So I'm allowed in the White House
00:17:03.480 to cover a news event.
00:17:05.520 And I'm not a white nationalist.
00:17:07.040 I'm not a white supremacist.
00:17:08.520 But you guys get to arbit...
00:17:09.480 Your news outlet has been associated
00:17:10.120 with that type of behavior and rhetoric.
00:17:12.000 So the White House accreditation...
00:17:14.100 So the prime minister's office
00:17:15.440 has made the unilateral decision
00:17:17.080 to not let me in?
00:17:18.440 The prime minister's office
00:17:19.360 has agreed with the Canadian Press Gallery
00:17:21.180 that your organization's views
00:17:23.700 are not welcome.
00:17:24.420 So that's all I have.
00:17:25.080 They'll get you to leave.
00:17:25.960 But I just wanted to come in my email.
00:17:26.500 So the prime minister's office
00:17:27.480 determines who can and cannot
00:17:28.780 cover Canadian politics
00:17:29.920 in the United States?
00:17:30.600 It's a Canadian embassy event.
00:17:31.800 And you are also not an accredited journalist
00:17:33.760 in the Canadian Press Gallery
00:17:34.920 at a Canadian media event.
00:17:36.380 And that's why.
00:17:37.100 Absolutely stunning.
00:17:38.700 Yet another flunky suffering
00:17:40.300 from rebel derangement syndrome.
00:17:42.480 Apparently this time around
00:17:43.720 the rebel is media non grata
00:17:45.440 because we're, quote,
00:17:47.040 associated with white nationalism
00:17:49.080 and white supremacy, end quote.
00:17:52.100 You know, I think that allegation
00:17:53.780 is borderline libelous
00:17:55.740 for I'd sure love to see
00:17:57.460 that security guard prove
00:17:58.860 such an outrageous allegation in court.
00:18:01.860 However, I will give them this.
00:18:03.420 At least Magilla, the gorilla
00:18:05.160 in the designer's shades
00:18:06.780 had the decency to give us
00:18:08.640 a reason for being excluded
00:18:10.800 even if the reason was equal parts
00:18:13.120 preposterous and false.
00:18:15.780 Because when it comes to the true liberals
00:18:17.660 and for that matter
00:18:18.520 the parliamentary press gallery,
00:18:20.780 usually we are never given
00:18:22.360 an actual reason as to why
00:18:24.300 we're being denied entry
00:18:25.680 into everything from UN conferences
00:18:28.020 to the Standing Committee
00:18:29.480 on Justice and Human Rights
00:18:30.980 to even a media event
00:18:33.000 celebrating World Press Freedom Day.
00:18:36.940 It's usually just
00:18:38.060 you have to leave now.
00:18:40.040 How perverse.
00:18:41.280 Back in 2015
00:18:42.180 we were promised sunny ways,
00:18:44.220 my friends, sunny ways.
00:18:45.580 So why does Canada
00:18:47.260 increasingly feel
00:18:48.560 like an overcast day
00:18:50.040 in North Korea right now?
00:18:52.260 And joining me now
00:18:53.260 in our studio
00:18:54.160 is our roping reporter
00:18:55.420 Ian Bexty,
00:18:56.680 one of the latest rebels
00:18:58.000 to be given the bum's rush.
00:18:59.700 Well, you're always welcome here, Kian.
00:19:01.680 Thank you, David.
00:19:02.720 My pleasure.
00:19:03.720 Now, listen,
00:19:04.620 take us back
00:19:05.560 to that day in Washington.
00:19:07.900 You've already been granted access
00:19:10.040 basically to the highest levels
00:19:12.160 of U.S. government.
00:19:13.400 No problem.
00:19:14.280 Easy peasy.
00:19:15.640 And yet you go
00:19:16.500 to this office
00:19:17.860 manned and operated
00:19:19.580 by your own country.
00:19:21.580 And as we saw
00:19:22.240 on the videotape
00:19:23.160 that, you know,
00:19:25.700 that big guy
00:19:26.920 with the sunglasses
00:19:27.780 comes out
00:19:29.000 and just tells you
00:19:30.160 to scram
00:19:30.780 and the reason
00:19:31.560 he tells you to scram
00:19:32.660 is he's likening you
00:19:34.820 to, what,
00:19:35.300 a neo-Nazi?
00:19:36.720 I mean,
00:19:37.640 Kian,
00:19:37.940 what were you thinking
00:19:39.160 at that point?
00:19:40.060 Well, I don't want
00:19:41.140 to give him too much credit.
00:19:41.920 He's not that big of a man.
00:19:43.160 He's kind of this
00:19:43.820 weaselly PMO staffer.
00:19:45.820 He wasn't even
00:19:46.220 a security guard.
00:19:47.060 He was a partisan
00:19:48.660 political staffer
00:19:50.260 who kicked me
00:19:51.060 out of my own embassy.
00:19:52.160 Oh, I see.
00:19:52.700 It's disgraceful
00:19:53.580 what he did.
00:19:54.060 I'm still frustrated
00:19:55.360 when I think
00:19:55.780 about what happened
00:19:56.460 that I could go
00:19:57.460 to the White House
00:19:58.200 and I was welcomed
00:20:00.320 with open arms
00:20:01.140 by the Donald Trump
00:20:01.900 administration.
00:20:02.620 It was spectacular.
00:20:03.780 It's because they respect
00:20:04.520 the First Amendment,
00:20:05.320 but of course we don't
00:20:05.960 have that in Canada.
00:20:06.820 Yes.
00:20:07.240 And when we were
00:20:07.760 at the embassy,
00:20:08.520 Canadian rules applied
00:20:09.680 and that means
00:20:11.580 Justin Trudeau's rules applied
00:20:12.920 and if you're not
00:20:14.040 in the bought-out media,
00:20:16.240 you're in the banned media
00:20:17.540 and we're in the latter.
00:20:19.100 You know, Kian,
00:20:20.000 as a matter of fact,
00:20:21.560 not only do we have,
00:20:22.960 do we not have
00:20:24.020 the First Amendment
00:20:25.040 or anything like it,
00:20:26.360 but increasingly,
00:20:27.480 if you look at what's happening,
00:20:29.100 Motion 103,
00:20:31.120 the Standing Committee
00:20:32.840 on Justice and Human Rights
00:20:34.060 I alluded to
00:20:35.000 in the introduction,
00:20:36.080 that's where I went
00:20:36.880 earlier this month
00:20:37.740 to cover it.
00:20:38.520 This is about bringing back
00:20:40.100 the odious anti-free speech
00:20:42.660 pro-censorship section 13
00:20:44.820 of the Canadian Human Rights Act.
00:20:47.480 Essentially,
00:20:48.360 you can be taken to a kangaroo
00:20:50.640 human rights tribunal
00:20:51.980 for hurt feelings.
00:20:53.480 So far be it from
00:20:54.620 the First Amendment,
00:20:55.860 we're going the polar opposite way.
00:20:57.940 We are seeing a clampdown
00:20:59.900 of free speech in this country
00:21:02.200 and I haven't even gotten
00:21:03.020 into the whole social media
00:21:04.440 aspect here.
00:21:06.100 Does this worry you
00:21:07.700 moving forward
00:21:08.520 A, as a Canadian
00:21:09.660 and B, as a journalist
00:21:10.760 just trying to do your job?
00:21:12.760 Of course it does.
00:21:13.680 I mean,
00:21:14.040 at the end of the day,
00:21:15.760 Canadians are better served
00:21:16.920 when they have
00:21:17.620 a variety of ideas
00:21:18.860 and opinions
00:21:19.940 to sift through
00:21:21.000 and determine
00:21:21.540 what they,
00:21:23.180 you know,
00:21:23.760 what they think is factual,
00:21:24.900 what they think is funny
00:21:26.020 or whatever,
00:21:27.340 you know,
00:21:27.660 and silencing
00:21:28.800 certain journalists
00:21:30.040 because they're critical
00:21:31.660 of your government
00:21:32.340 is just doing
00:21:33.520 a disservice
00:21:34.040 to Canadians.
00:21:34.940 It's taking ideas
00:21:36.380 out of the marketplace
00:21:37.300 and it's creating
00:21:39.200 a monopoly,
00:21:40.260 a fabricated monopoly
00:21:41.960 for your ideology
00:21:44.500 and that's
00:21:45.140 Justin Trudeauism
00:21:46.080 right now.
00:21:46.900 And, you know,
00:21:47.900 from going from
00:21:48.880 sunny ways
00:21:49.660 to slimy ways,
00:21:50.860 I again refer to
00:21:51.900 that Standing Committee
00:21:52.740 on Justice and Human Rights,
00:21:54.640 my cameraman,
00:21:55.660 Efron and I,
00:21:56.620 we drove all the way
00:21:57.860 from Toronto to Ottawa
00:21:58.900 to cover that
00:21:59.700 a day ahead of time.
00:22:01.720 We applied
00:22:02.180 through the proper channels
00:22:03.120 for the press credentials.
00:22:04.640 Here's the slimy thing
00:22:05.640 I didn't like,
00:22:06.780 Kian,
00:22:07.040 and I think it speaks volumes.
00:22:09.000 They denied us
00:22:10.040 our press credentials
00:22:11.140 20 minutes
00:22:12.580 before the committee
00:22:13.860 was set to sit.
00:22:16.460 We still went in
00:22:17.260 as members of the public,
00:22:18.420 mind you,
00:22:18.820 so it was all for naught.
00:22:20.860 But not only
00:22:22.260 are they denying us
00:22:24.180 entry for,
00:22:25.920 and I don't think
00:22:26.580 they have any right
00:22:27.660 to do so,
00:22:28.820 but it's the way
00:22:29.660 in which they're doing it.
00:22:31.040 You know,
00:22:31.460 we're going to
00:22:32.120 make you drive to Ottawa,
00:22:33.340 we're going to make you
00:22:33.940 fly to Poland,
00:22:35.020 fly to Morocco,
00:22:36.080 and once you land,
00:22:37.160 ha ha,
00:22:37.980 guess what,
00:22:38.500 you're not getting in.
00:22:39.600 This is beyond petty.
00:22:41.440 It is petty.
00:22:42.440 And it's not even
00:22:43.740 just Canadians, right?
00:22:44.860 It's happening
00:22:46.940 all around the world.
00:22:47.900 It's happening
00:22:48.340 in the United States
00:22:48.960 just today,
00:22:50.000 and I'm not sure
00:22:50.600 when this is going to air,
00:22:51.460 I think Friday.
00:22:52.820 Just today,
00:22:53.700 which is Wednesday,
00:22:55.600 the Donald subreddit
00:22:57.640 on Reddit
00:22:58.160 was just banned.
00:22:59.480 It was de-platformed
00:23:01.080 the day before
00:23:02.880 the democratic debates
00:23:04.160 in the United States,
00:23:05.520 which is terrifying
00:23:06.420 to think of
00:23:06.920 because, you know,
00:23:07.740 Reddit is a little bit
00:23:08.680 of a left-leaning website,
00:23:10.460 but there's this huge group
00:23:11.960 of people who share,
00:23:13.640 you know,
00:23:14.140 memes, posts,
00:23:15.340 stories,
00:23:16.060 and opinions
00:23:16.600 that has just been
00:23:17.740 wiped off the face
00:23:18.660 of the earth.
00:23:19.380 It's scary what's happening
00:23:20.800 in the U.S.,
00:23:21.120 and it's happening everywhere,
00:23:22.160 not just in Canada.
00:23:22.900 Yeah,
00:23:23.480 and, you know,
00:23:24.260 this, I think,
00:23:25.740 is going to be
00:23:26.420 one of the biggest issues
00:23:28.000 moving forward
00:23:28.900 as it pertains
00:23:30.780 to social media,
00:23:31.940 and that is
00:23:32.840 what happens
00:23:34.460 in the public square.
00:23:37.000 We have basically
00:23:38.680 very left-leaning
00:23:40.560 social media companies
00:23:41.800 in Silicon Valley,
00:23:43.800 Google, YouTube,
00:23:45.020 Twitter,
00:23:45.580 and the like,
00:23:46.680 and they're actually,
00:23:48.420 they're not even shy
00:23:49.460 about admitting,
00:23:51.080 like, if you say to them,
00:23:52.200 did you,
00:23:52.880 it looks to us
00:23:53.800 like you're deplatforming
00:23:54.880 right of center voices,
00:23:56.060 they go,
00:23:56.660 yeah, and your issue is?
00:23:58.840 What I'm getting at
00:24:00.000 is that I think
00:24:01.020 this is only going
00:24:01.820 to worsen,
00:24:02.740 and again,
00:24:03.320 going back to U.S. law,
00:24:05.260 because they have
00:24:05.880 the First Amendment,
00:24:07.200 I'm wondering
00:24:07.920 if we are going
00:24:09.100 to see something
00:24:10.060 in the years ahead,
00:24:12.100 perhaps,
00:24:12.740 much like more than
00:24:13.600 100 years ago
00:24:14.440 in the U.S.,
00:24:15.540 antitrust legislation
00:24:17.320 was invoked
00:24:18.320 to break up Standard Oil
00:24:19.760 into something like
00:24:20.600 31 or 34 companies,
00:24:22.720 that these social media titans
00:24:25.120 are, you know,
00:24:26.720 they're playing with fire
00:24:27.740 because even more so
00:24:29.780 than Standard Oil,
00:24:31.260 free speech
00:24:32.000 is indeed protected
00:24:33.260 by the Constitution.
00:24:35.380 Do you see this scenario
00:24:36.880 going this direction,
00:24:38.440 perhaps?
00:24:38.500 Well, God,
00:24:38.840 I hope so,
00:24:39.640 because we're coming
00:24:41.600 to a point
00:24:42.120 where conservatives
00:24:43.580 have no option,
00:24:44.860 you know,
00:24:45.100 and Canadians
00:24:46.360 are going to just,
00:24:47.600 and, well,
00:24:48.340 not just Canadians,
00:24:49.460 as I said,
00:24:50.220 they're going to start
00:24:50.920 only seeing
00:24:51.840 left-wing drivel
00:24:53.080 pumped through
00:24:53.640 their social media.
00:24:55.020 And, you know,
00:24:55.520 you just have to talk
00:24:57.060 about what happened
00:24:58.280 with the Veritas project
00:24:59.960 when they exposed Google
00:25:01.900 for calling Jordan Peterson
00:25:03.720 and a bunch of
00:25:04.720 Jewish people Nazis
00:25:06.080 and saying that
00:25:07.420 they were going
00:25:07.860 to de-platform them,
00:25:08.880 de-platform them,
00:25:09.980 but not explicitly saying
00:25:11.800 you're not welcome
00:25:12.400 on our platform,
00:25:13.240 but more insidiously
00:25:15.000 shadow banning them.
00:25:15.820 So they keep acting,
00:25:17.140 you know,
00:25:17.400 they keep producing content,
00:25:19.000 but their audiences
00:25:19.880 just disappear
00:25:20.680 because their content
00:25:22.320 is not showing up
00:25:23.300 on their feeds.
00:25:24.340 It's scary, frankly.
00:25:26.520 You know,
00:25:27.320 it is scary,
00:25:28.840 and what I find
00:25:30.560 perversely amusing,
00:25:33.120 Kian,
00:25:33.880 in terms of the
00:25:34.940 staggering hypocrisy
00:25:36.560 is the left apologizes
00:25:39.280 for this by saying,
00:25:40.680 oh, come on,
00:25:41.520 these are private companies,
00:25:43.060 let the free market economy
00:25:44.660 function as it's meant to.
00:25:47.300 Oh, the same people
00:25:48.380 that want the government
00:25:49.360 in every aspect
00:25:50.260 of our life,
00:25:51.120 the same people
00:25:51.860 that campaign
00:25:53.460 even for communism today,
00:25:56.060 suddenly when it comes
00:25:57.300 to social media,
00:25:58.400 oh, it's the free market
00:26:00.440 should decide everything.
00:26:01.680 Don't you find that stunning?
00:26:02.960 Yeah, how about
00:26:03.540 the free market decides
00:26:04.780 how much carbon
00:26:05.480 gets put into the atmosphere
00:26:06.760 and then see
00:26:07.660 what they're going to say?
00:26:08.560 They're going to say,
00:26:09.140 oh, no, we need to regulate it.
00:26:10.940 So, God,
00:26:12.120 they're hypocrites,
00:26:12.860 every single one of them.
00:26:13.780 Yeah, they love
00:26:14.920 the nanny state
00:26:15.660 until the nanny state
00:26:16.920 doesn't work for them.
00:26:18.080 But, you know,
00:26:18.520 getting back to the issue
00:26:20.020 at hand,
00:26:20.800 I'm just wondering,
00:26:22.500 you know,
00:26:23.200 time will tell, of course,
00:26:24.540 if we do get regime change
00:26:26.080 in Ottawa
00:26:26.580 come October 21st.
00:26:29.360 But in the meantime,
00:26:31.400 I would suggest
00:26:33.040 that this is the template
00:26:35.140 for us here at The Rebel.
00:26:37.220 We are anything involving
00:26:39.180 the Trudeau liberals
00:26:41.220 and for that matter,
00:26:42.900 the media party.
00:26:44.900 Because we,
00:26:46.640 on Friday,
00:26:47.700 Efron and I went to
00:26:48.740 a Trudeau Eid dinner event
00:26:51.000 and we were the only media
00:26:52.740 that got kicked out,
00:26:53.780 never given a valid reason.
00:26:55.940 But what really bothered me,
00:26:57.920 Kian,
00:26:58.540 is that the media,
00:27:01.020 the other members of the media
00:27:02.060 saw the circus
00:27:03.080 that was unfolding
00:27:03.980 with us getting the bums rush.
00:27:06.340 And do you think
00:27:06.880 even one of them
00:27:07.760 did what I would have done,
00:27:10.060 which would be
00:27:10.640 to interject myself
00:27:11.580 in the argument
00:27:12.120 and say something like,
00:27:13.620 hey, listen,
00:27:14.160 if you're kicking him
00:27:15.060 or her out,
00:27:16.120 we're all going to walk out.
00:27:17.380 But no,
00:27:18.200 it is like they are
00:27:20.040 bought and paid for
00:27:21.600 and existing
00:27:22.720 as state stenographers.
00:27:24.260 They quite literally
00:27:25.360 are bought and paid for.
00:27:26.760 Like I said,
00:27:27.640 they're either bought
00:27:28.440 or they're banned
00:27:29.940 by Trudeau.
00:27:31.000 So it's sad.
00:27:32.980 And it's something
00:27:33.600 that we're going to turn,
00:27:35.000 this is, yeah,
00:27:35.680 I mean,
00:27:36.400 we're moving to a point
00:27:38.900 where we can't rely
00:27:40.840 on press galleries,
00:27:42.620 we can't rely on
00:27:43.520 social media platforms,
00:27:44.420 and we're going to have
00:27:45.460 to rely on emailing lists
00:27:46.760 where it's like
00:27:47.160 we're going to go back
00:27:47.780 to 2000
00:27:48.340 when the only way
00:27:48.960 we can communicate
00:27:49.560 with people
00:27:50.080 consistently
00:27:52.340 is emailing.
00:27:54.580 Yeah, you know,
00:27:55.160 we're going to have
00:27:55.580 to wrap it there.
00:27:56.360 We're running out of time,
00:27:57.820 Kian.
00:27:58.180 I would suggest this.
00:27:59.560 I think the Trudeau Liberals
00:28:00.900 right now are using
00:28:01.980 the carrot and the stick.
00:28:04.680 The carrot is
00:28:05.360 $1.5 billion to the CBC,
00:28:07.580 $600 million for the rest of you.
00:28:09.820 Play ball with your Uncle Justin
00:28:11.560 in Ottawa
00:28:12.060 and everything's all right, mate.
00:28:14.400 But if you don't play ball,
00:28:15.660 well, you know what?
00:28:16.480 There's this little thing
00:28:17.180 we can do with our friends
00:28:18.020 in Silicon Valley,
00:28:18.900 called de-platforming.
00:28:21.100 And I think given
00:28:21.720 the state of media today,
00:28:23.500 if I'm a journalist
00:28:24.400 in one of those organizations,
00:28:25.940 there's no other jobs.
00:28:27.660 I think I'll just be
00:28:28.680 a good little soldier
00:28:29.600 and play ball.
00:28:31.540 And to me,
00:28:32.820 it's like a soft form
00:28:34.300 of censorship.
00:28:35.040 In fact,
00:28:35.340 it's even worse, my friend.
00:28:36.740 It is self-censorship.
00:28:38.300 Your thoughts in 20 seconds,
00:28:39.600 my friend.
00:28:40.620 Self-censorship
00:28:42.020 in terms of
00:28:42.960 the Prime Minister's office
00:28:44.400 censoring.
00:28:45.020 Oh, no,
00:28:45.500 of the media themselves,
00:28:46.660 not moving forward
00:28:48.180 with stories.
00:28:49.740 Well, I mean,
00:28:50.540 the media can do
00:28:51.320 what they want.
00:28:52.160 That's why they're being
00:28:52.860 labeled the legacy media
00:28:54.500 at this point.
00:28:55.620 They're a dying breed.
00:28:58.020 Alternative media
00:28:58.700 is taking a huge chunk
00:28:59.820 of their viewership
00:29:00.400 and they're absolutely
00:29:01.020 terrified by that.
00:29:02.240 You can just look at
00:29:02.920 our coverage
00:29:03.500 of the Alberta election
00:29:04.360 and see that we had
00:29:05.060 more viewers than the CBC.
00:29:06.840 We had the most viewed
00:29:07.800 video that came out
00:29:09.240 of that whole election.
00:29:10.520 The media is dying
00:29:11.560 and it's because
00:29:12.180 of the way they're acting.
00:29:13.740 A hundred percent.
00:29:14.340 Kian, thank you so much
00:29:15.720 for dropping by.
00:29:16.740 I have no idea
00:29:17.420 where your next destination
00:29:18.340 is when you get back
00:29:19.320 to Pearson Airport,
00:29:20.400 but thank you so much.
00:29:21.320 And folks, keep it here.
00:29:22.440 More of Rebel Roundup
00:29:23.300 to come right after this.
00:29:24.620 You have to leave right now.
00:29:33.940 Well, yeah, I'm asking
00:29:35.300 the reason for the difference, sir.
00:29:37.120 Because you have to leave
00:29:38.100 right now.
00:29:38.540 This is a private event
00:29:39.400 and I'm sorry you...
00:29:41.040 It's a private event
00:29:42.020 open to media, obviously.
00:29:43.520 I see all the cameras here.
00:29:45.560 It's not open to everyone.
00:29:47.160 It's not open to you, sir.
00:29:48.800 Yeah, quote,
00:29:50.160 it's not open to everyone.
00:29:52.280 It's not open to you, end quote.
00:29:55.380 Yet, why was that
00:29:56.700 Eid Mubarak dinner in Toronto
00:29:58.440 featuring guest of honour
00:29:59.780 Justin Trudeau
00:30:00.700 not open to all media?
00:30:03.840 Well, if you watch the video, folks,
00:30:05.540 in its entirety, that is,
00:30:06.880 the default answer is simply,
00:30:08.600 quote,
00:30:09.520 you have to leave, end quote,
00:30:11.200 which, of course, is a non-answer.
00:30:13.380 However, I must point out
00:30:15.080 that later in our interview,
00:30:16.580 Mr. Bass of the Canadian Muslim Vote,
00:30:19.060 which organised this
00:30:20.240 jolly jihad of joy,
00:30:21.620 implies that
00:30:22.840 since we are not
00:30:23.760 a member of Unifor,
00:30:25.240 that giant union
00:30:26.300 that represents
00:30:27.260 some journalists in Canada,
00:30:29.200 then we are not
00:30:30.100 real media.
00:30:32.200 Interesting.
00:30:33.380 Oh, and by the way,
00:30:34.580 Unifor happened to be
00:30:35.860 one of the sponsors
00:30:36.880 of the Eid Mubarak dinner.
00:30:39.440 Funny how that works, eh?
00:30:41.380 Oh, well,
00:30:42.020 as General Motors employees
00:30:43.360 in Oshawa receive
00:30:44.360 their pink slips
00:30:45.200 as their plant is mothballed
00:30:46.840 later this year,
00:30:47.880 I'm sure they will take
00:30:49.180 great comfort in knowing
00:30:50.420 that their union dues
00:30:52.080 are being well spent
00:30:53.280 propping up an Islamic
00:30:54.780 organisation known as
00:30:56.560 the Canadian Muslim Vote.
00:30:59.460 In any event,
00:31:00.580 here's what some of you
00:31:01.640 had to say about how
00:31:02.840 only one media outlet
00:31:04.440 that evening,
00:31:05.640 little Olaz,
00:31:06.880 was told to take a long walk
00:31:08.600 off a short pier.
00:31:10.700 Ray Moyes writes,
00:31:11.800 he's asking the questions
00:31:13.600 they do not like,
00:31:14.760 so he has to leave.
00:31:15.800 Yes, welcome to
00:31:16.780 Freedom of the Press,
00:31:17.700 Trudeau style in 2019.
00:31:20.100 Namely, be a good little
00:31:21.740 well-behaved state
00:31:22.800 sanctioned stenographer,
00:31:24.760 and then you can come in
00:31:26.000 for all the lamb chops
00:31:27.180 you can devour.
00:31:28.300 But if you choose
00:31:29.620 to give the other side
00:31:31.140 of the story
00:31:31.700 or offer contrarian opinions,
00:31:34.720 well, you are promptly
00:31:36.120 deemed media non grata.
00:31:38.880 This is not conjecture.
00:31:40.180 These Liberals have actually
00:31:42.080 banned rebel reporters
00:31:43.420 from covering UN conferences abroad.
00:31:47.140 Something I tried to address
00:31:48.460 last month with Miriam Monsef
00:31:50.320 on World Press Freedom Day,
00:31:52.700 if you can believe it.
00:31:55.000 Hi, Mr. Monsef.
00:31:56.740 David Benzies with Rebel Media.
00:31:58.420 Just a quick question.
00:31:59.820 The United Nations told our reporters
00:32:04.640 they were banned from covering
00:32:06.340 their conferences due to
00:32:08.420 a directive from the Canadian government.
00:32:11.520 Do you support that?
00:32:13.000 I hope you support
00:32:13.940 what we're doing here today,
00:32:15.440 which is ensuring freedom
00:32:16.700 of expression
00:32:17.360 and an independent free press
00:32:19.000 for your colleagues
00:32:20.020 around the world.
00:32:21.080 But that's precisely the point.
00:32:22.680 We travelled to Morocco,
00:32:24.760 we travelled to Poland,
00:32:25.700 and we were shut out
00:32:27.120 of UN conferences
00:32:28.620 because of an edict
00:32:29.800 from your government.
00:32:30.840 Does that sound like
00:32:31.600 world press freedom
00:32:32.880 to you, Minister?
00:32:33.580 What we're doing today
00:32:35.020 is supporting an independent
00:32:36.620 and free press
00:32:37.860 in some of the most
00:32:38.740 troubled regions of the world,
00:32:40.780 and I have no doubt
00:32:42.040 that you rejoice
00:32:43.000 in this investment
00:32:43.940 and this initiative.
00:32:45.260 Well, you know,
00:32:45.980 but how do you square the fact
00:32:48.060 that you won't even let
00:32:49.540 Canadian journalists
00:32:50.580 that might have
00:32:51.840 a dissenting opinion
00:32:52.860 about things like
00:32:53.940 immigration and climate change
00:32:55.860 to attend UN conferences?
00:32:58.020 And here you are
00:32:59.100 advocating for
00:33:00.420 World Press Freedom Day.
00:33:01.700 Thank you.
00:33:02.520 Thanks very much.
00:33:03.580 This doesn't look like
00:33:04.500 a lot of freedom, ladies.
00:33:06.300 Well, she's in her
00:33:06.840 private area now.
00:33:07.640 Thank you very much.
00:33:08.500 Oh, and par for the course,
00:33:09.640 after Monsef's
00:33:10.580 non-answers to us,
00:33:11.740 we were, yes,
00:33:12.620 frog-marched out
00:33:13.700 the building yet again.
00:33:15.900 Happy World Press
00:33:16.840 Freedom Day, everybody.
00:33:18.700 Jeff H. writes,
00:33:20.280 I wonder if Omar Cotter
00:33:21.640 will be the guest of honour.
00:33:23.340 Funny you should say that, Jeff.
00:33:24.720 Prior to our encounter
00:33:25.780 with Mr. Bass,
00:33:26.800 we did streeters
00:33:27.720 in the venue's parking lot.
00:33:29.500 We asked numerous attendees
00:33:30.800 if they thought
00:33:31.580 Omar Cotter was innocent.
00:33:33.600 Get this.
00:33:34.820 Not one person
00:33:36.280 attending this Eid event
00:33:37.900 would answer that question.
00:33:39.720 Not a single one.
00:33:41.100 What's the matter?
00:33:41.520 Can I cut your tongue?
00:33:43.040 Marty No BS writes,
00:33:45.160 Hey, soy boy,
00:33:46.060 I thought diversity
00:33:46.960 was our strength.
00:33:48.000 I guess that doesn't
00:33:49.080 apply to journalism.
00:33:50.900 Yeah, Marty,
00:33:51.720 but that diversity
00:33:52.880 is our strength,
00:33:53.720 chestnut,
00:33:54.260 only applies to such factors
00:33:56.040 as race, religion,
00:33:57.140 and nationality,
00:33:58.400 not thoughts.
00:33:59.120 In the liberal lexicon,
00:34:00.980 there is precious
00:34:02.140 little tolerance
00:34:03.120 for diversity of opinions.
00:34:05.680 That might prove,
00:34:07.060 you know,
00:34:07.680 dangerous
00:34:08.120 when it comes
00:34:09.360 to progressive ideology.
00:34:11.040 So let's all be
00:34:12.500 non-diverse on the inside,
00:34:14.700 but ultra-diverse
00:34:16.520 on the outside.
00:34:18.080 Wow,
00:34:18.880 you're even more diverse
00:34:20.140 than me.
00:34:20.960 You're promoted.
00:34:22.760 Hey,
00:34:23.400 that promotion
00:34:24.320 was for me.
00:34:25.460 Sorry, Todd.
00:34:29.520 Jay Zen writes,
00:34:31.460 Liberalism is a mental pathology.
00:34:33.880 They all act the same way.
00:34:35.360 Fake smile while walking away
00:34:36.980 or fake ignorance
00:34:37.940 while walking away
00:34:38.880 or get angry
00:34:39.880 and demand you
00:34:40.960 to walk away.
00:34:42.140 Hilarious.
00:34:43.100 Smell the tolerance.
00:34:44.940 Thank you, David.
00:34:45.740 You rock, sir.
00:34:47.480 Best journalist in Canada,
00:34:49.100 hands down.
00:34:49.780 Oh, wow.
00:34:50.720 Jay Zen,
00:34:51.280 what a compliment.
00:34:52.100 But before I rest
00:34:52.980 on my laurels here,
00:34:53.960 here comes a reality chat
00:34:55.880 from Eric Krupa
00:34:57.320 who is not at all
00:34:58.680 sympathetic to our plight.
00:35:00.300 Eric writes,
00:35:01.560 I don't blame anyone
00:35:02.800 for turning away your crew
00:35:04.200 if anyone has done
00:35:05.260 any research at all.
00:35:07.040 They are very much aware
00:35:08.000 that Rebel Media
00:35:08.740 is not on site
00:35:10.220 to perform journalism.
00:35:12.000 You guys specialize
00:35:12.940 in incitement
00:35:14.260 and politically skewed rhetoric
00:35:16.080 which can easily be done
00:35:18.060 from the laptop
00:35:18.820 in your living room.
00:35:20.300 Well, Eric,
00:35:21.180 it would really,
00:35:22.240 really help your argument
00:35:23.140 if you are able
00:35:24.100 to cite some examples
00:35:25.700 pertaining to our
00:35:27.000 supposed lust
00:35:27.980 for incitement.
00:35:29.900 And seriously,
00:35:31.160 do you think
00:35:32.200 for a single nanosecond
00:35:33.660 that the likes
00:35:34.880 of the CBC
00:35:35.560 and the Toronto Star
00:35:36.640 don't have a politicized bias
00:35:39.160 when they cover the news?
00:35:40.820 I mean,
00:35:41.520 as they say
00:35:42.240 down on the Midway,
00:35:43.360 my friend,
00:35:43.900 let's not kid
00:35:44.900 the kidders here.
00:35:46.260 But the thing is,
00:35:47.260 even if I were
00:35:47.760 to accept your argument
00:35:48.660 when it comes
00:35:49.360 to the business
00:35:50.480 of a gatekeeper
00:35:51.460 that would be entrusted
00:35:52.900 with picking
00:35:53.620 and choosing
00:35:54.300 those organizations
00:35:55.900 that are so-called
00:35:57.260 real media outlets,
00:35:59.560 well, just who, pray tell,
00:36:01.680 gets that job?
00:36:03.020 Would it be
00:36:03.360 the Unifor Union?
00:36:04.900 The Trudeau Liberals?
00:36:06.420 Some Ottawa bureaucracy
00:36:07.560 like the Canadian
00:36:08.540 Human Rights Commission?
00:36:10.220 If so,
00:36:11.140 I think back
00:36:11.980 to one of the few
00:36:12.860 Latin phrases I know,
00:36:14.520 but it's a profound one.
00:36:15.820 Oh, by the way, folks,
00:36:24.240 I learned all my Latin phrases
00:36:26.060 from Justice League cartoons,
00:36:28.040 and perhaps that's fitting
00:36:29.400 given we are increasingly
00:36:30.980 living in a cartoonish world.
00:36:33.980 Well, that wraps up
00:36:35.220 another edition of Rebel Roundup.
00:36:36.680 Thanks so much for joining us.
00:36:37.920 See you next week.
00:36:38.680 And hey, folks,
00:36:39.340 never forget,
00:36:40.600 without risk,
00:36:41.320 there can be no glory.
00:36:42.380 And in the meantime,
00:36:43.980 I wish all of you
00:36:45.180 a very happy
00:36:46.060 and joyous Dominion Day.
00:36:48.020 Make it special.
00:36:49.180 Good night.
