00:00:56.320 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you, in which we look back
00:01:09.540 at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favorite Rebels.
00:01:13.100 I'm your host, David Menzies.
00:01:15.620 Would you be offended if you saw young white males laying wreaths at a cenotaph on Remembrance
00:01:22.940 day?
00:01:24.240 Well, one nutty professor at the University of British Columbia was indeed triggered by
00:01:29.660 such a sight.
00:01:30.880 Just wait till you hear this story from Sheila Gunn-Reed.
00:01:34.300 Oh, and here's a surprise.
00:01:36.940 More virtue signaling from the Greta Thunberg camp.
00:01:40.400 This time around, they are ensuring that we all know that they are reducing their carbon
00:01:46.380 footprint thanks to using a multi-million dollar catamaran to cross the ocean as opposed to
00:01:53.800 a jetliner.
00:01:55.620 Gee, must be nice to have rich friends with toys to lend out when it comes to living one's
00:02:01.880 life as a climate crusader.
00:02:04.620 Ian Bexty has all the sanctimonious details.
00:02:07.560 And finally, letters, we get your letters, we get your letters every minute of every day
00:02:12.340 and I'll share some of your responses regarding my interview with Don Cherry the day after he
00:02:18.760 was fired.
00:02:20.220 Let's put it this way, the vast majority of you are absolutely furious with the dismissal
00:02:26.700 of grapes as we all lay witness to the rapid and despicable growth of cancel culture.
00:02:34.240 Those are your Rebels, now let's round them up.
00:02:37.560 Economics instructor Maria Adshade took to Twitter to ask UBC President Santa Ono why fraternity
00:02:49.020 members were allowed to lay wreaths at the school's Remembrance Day ceremony.
00:02:54.340 Let me show you what Adshade tweeted when she saw a fraternity daring to lay a wreath in
00:03:00.980 remembrance.
00:03:01.500 Wondering why frat boys are laying wreaths at the Remembrance Day ceremony at UBC.
00:03:08.400 Surely there are other more representative groups on campus to play this role.
00:03:14.960 Representative of whom?
00:03:16.840 Does she know the majority of the casualties in World War I and World War II and every single
00:03:22.100 war were young fraternity aged men?
00:03:25.080 You couldn't get more representative if you tried, unless your concern isn't honouring
00:03:29.860 the fallen, but rather checking some social justice quota box.
00:03:34.360 And then Adshade followed up with this.
00:03:37.320 Regardless of how any of you feel about me, you should not be supporting this casual racism.
00:03:44.780 Adshade doesn't mean her casual racism and casual misandry, insisting that someone of a different
00:03:50.680 race or sex would be more worthy of honouring Canadian veterans.
00:03:55.620 No, she thinks letting frats honour fallen young men and women is casual racism.
00:04:01.440 You cannot make this stuff up.
00:04:02.720 Well, just when you thought that the loony left couldn't politicise Remembrance Day any
00:04:07.860 further, along comes yet another nutty professor on campus bemoaning that the presence of white
00:04:15.380 frat boys laying wreaths at a cenotaph to pay their respects to the fallen is somehow politically
00:04:23.840 incorrect, it's triggering, it's offensive.
00:04:26.760 Oh, how vulgar can you get?
00:04:29.640 Well, joining me now with more on a story that defies logic and decency is the host of
00:04:35.600 The Gun Show, Sheila Gunn-Reed.
00:04:37.400 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, my friend.
00:04:39.820 Hey, David.
00:04:40.340 Thanks for having me back on the show.
00:04:41.640 Well, it's always a pleasure.
00:04:42.820 So, Sheila, first of all, just so that I and all our viewers can wrap our heads around
00:04:49.740 this whopper of a story, what exactly is casual racism and just how does it differ from racism
00:04:59.680 classic?
00:05:01.380 I don't know if it's the racism they do on Friday, because Friday is casual day, or if
00:05:06.260 you're allowed to wear stretchy pants when you're doing it.
00:05:09.420 I don't know what casual racism is, and I don't know how allowing frat boys to lay a
00:05:16.060 wreath to honour, in some instances, their own war dead young men from their own fraternities,
00:05:24.340 I have no idea how that amounts to casual racism.
00:05:28.340 You know, I didn't even bother Googling it.
00:05:31.300 I was just going to try to think this through.
00:05:34.420 Is maybe what she's saying, this professor, that even when one isn't trying to be racist,
00:05:42.500 you can say or do something that might be perhaps maybe interpreted by somebody as racist,
00:05:50.060 so therefore, it's racist.
00:05:51.780 Well, and this lady, I mean, now I understand a little bit after the fact, after more information
00:06:00.280 came in, because some young men who are part of the fraternity system, or the Greek system
00:06:05.200 as they say, on UBC campus, they actually reached out to me to say that this lady, she's got a
00:06:11.340 real personal jihad against these fraternal organisations and men's groups in general.
00:06:17.860 She doesn't like the idea that there are places that men can gather without busy-bodied, woke-schooled
00:06:24.740 ladies like her putting their nose in the middle of it.
00:06:27.840 But yeah, like for her, it is racist.
00:06:32.940 However, even if it's unintentional that these young men, some of them are white, some of them
00:06:39.180 are not white, a lot of the guys involved weren't taking stock of everybody's ethnic background
00:06:45.220 before they started laying wreaths. For her, it's just the fact that a young white man
00:06:52.380 walked up and put a wreath on the cenotaph. That was casual racism because somebody didn't
00:06:59.500 walk around and select somebody else based on their ethnicity. And for me, selecting people
00:07:05.620 to do things based on their ethnicity feels a little bit like actual overt as opposed to
00:07:10.940 casual racism.
00:07:12.100 So Sheila, let's try to deconstruct this. What she finds problematic is that they are
00:07:18.360 male and they are white. So I guess in her world, to rectify things for Remembrance Day 2020,
00:07:25.620 they should, oh, I don't know, have gender reassignment and become female. And in terms of the
00:07:33.300 whiteness, oh, well, I think we have a prime minister that is an endorser of brownface and
00:07:39.420 blackface. Or does that open up another can of worms in terms of the racism debate? This is mind
00:07:46.020 boggling. I'm so confused, Sheila. What I'm trying to say is, how can a white male change the fact that
00:07:55.300 he's a white male? This is her problem, not theirs.
00:07:58.160 Yeah, this is absolutely her problem, seeing everything through the lens of gender and race.
00:08:05.240 She said, and these were the words of her exact tweet, wondering why frat boys are laying wreaths
00:08:10.920 at the Remembrance Day ceremony at UBC. Surely there are other more representative groups on
00:08:16.960 campus to play this role. Representative of what? The war dead? Because I guarantee you,
00:08:22.800 most of the young men, and I forget the exact number, actually, I have it on my screen here,
00:08:30.320 the amount of young men who went overseas from UBC, 1,600 young men enlisted from UBC to serve.
00:08:42.300 I guarantee you, just based on the demographics of Canada and, you know, BC at the time,
00:08:47.180 just demographically speaking, probably most of them are white, but guaranteed most of them were
00:08:53.360 young men. Who better to be representative of the war dead, these young men who signed up
00:08:59.900 selflessly to fight fascism than, you know, other young men? It's just peculiar that she felt that
00:09:06.540 these young men were unfit to honour Canada's war dead just because they were young men.
00:09:12.400 No, you know what? That's a very profound point, Sheila. And the fact is that, yes,
00:09:17.140 a couple of generations ago, Canada was a less diverse nation. And today, you know, through a
00:09:25.280 variety of factors, the most profound being medical science, we do have more older people and we do
00:09:32.580 live longer. But at the time, when you looked at who the vast majority of the war dead from our
00:09:39.200 dominion were, we're talking young white men. But, you know, the thing about this story, Sheila,
00:09:47.320 I mean, we've run numerous episodes of Campus Unmasked. Rob has done a fantastic job with that.
00:09:57.820 In the bigger picture is that what this professor is saying, she isn't really an outlier.
00:10:06.040 She isn't sort of the lunatic fringe. This is basically what you see is what you get on campus.
00:10:14.780 These unbelievable interpretations of history and gender and race. What she is putting out there,
00:10:24.500 I would argue, Sheila, is not abhorrent to other professors in North American colleges,
00:10:32.700 but something that would make them not in unison. What would you say about that?
00:10:37.940 She's absolutely the mainstream sentiment prevailing in academia right now, and particularly at UBC.
00:10:44.360 I was reading some news articles that other faculty were in support of her saying these sorts of things,
00:10:52.360 that, you know, that everything, even laying a wreath, should be looked at through the lens of gender
00:10:57.600 and race. I was at Remembrance Day ceremonies. Actually, I ended up being at two because I had
00:11:04.560 one kid at one and another kid at another, and it didn't even occur to me to check out the race of
00:11:10.000 the people laying the wreaths. It didn't even cross my mind to see whether it was a young girl cadet
00:11:17.300 or a young boy cadet that was laying the wreath, and I don't think it crossed the mind of the cadets
00:11:21.920 either. So, you know, it's these people who are, I'm going to bet, are probably the people who would
00:11:29.360 most likely presume that Canada's soldiers, they would call them baby killers or war criminals.
00:11:38.300 Those are the ones who are speaking up now to say that there are this demographic of people that
00:11:42.800 can't honour Canada's fallen heroes. I mean, it's just so peculiar, because they're not speaking up
00:11:47.980 for soldiers, they're not speaking up for our fallen heroes, they're not speaking up for our
00:11:51.420 grandpas and grandpas and the veterans amongst us. They're actually speaking up for the hurt
00:11:56.260 feelings of people who are there witnessing the wreath laying, who are probably not even concerned
00:12:02.740 about these things. They're being concerned on behalf of people who just don't care.
00:12:06.680 And, you know, Sheila, if I may make a personal observation, on Sunday, November 10th, I went to
00:12:12.900 the Remembrance Day ceremony where I live in Richmond Hill, and I noticed again this year that when it
00:12:18.960 came to the Air Cadet Squadron of Richmond Hill, I would estimate roughly 90 to 95 percent of the Air
00:12:27.440 Cadets were Asian. And I don't know why that is. I think it's curious, but am I offended? Absolutely not.
00:12:35.920 Maybe there's a cultural reason why so many Asians in a, you know, in my community are attracted to
00:12:44.400 the Air Cadets. But I would never for the life of me state something like what this professor is
00:12:50.900 stating, that there's too many Asians in the Air Cadets, as much as she's stating there's too much
00:12:57.060 young white maleness in a Remembrance Day ceremony. It's baffling.
00:13:01.720 Yeah, and I will make you the exact same observation that you did from, you know, the
00:13:07.460 continent away from you. I, I, my daughter's an Air Cadet. She has an ethnically diverse
00:13:15.480 Air Cadet Squadron. There are over 100 kids there. They're from all different backgrounds,
00:13:21.520 all different ethnicities, all different socioeconomic backgrounds. They have so many
00:13:27.120 kids with the last name Patel in her Air Cadet Squadron that they are considering making a
00:13:32.020 flight, like, like, a flight of Air Cadets with the last name Patel, because it's so ethnically
00:13:38.120 diverse. And nobody cares. And I'm willing to bet that, you know, on the battlefields far
00:13:45.480 away, nobody cared anybody else's, else's ethnicity when you're fighting a common foe like fascism.
00:13:52.240 100%, Sheila. No, we have to wrap it here. I would just like to say, you know, we've seen in
00:13:58.240 recent decades, the war on Christmas, the war on Halloween, the war on Thanksgiving, even. I used to
00:14:05.480 think that Remembrance Day was somewhat sacred. I mean, because it is so important. And it was a
00:14:10.960 matter of life and death. And I just wish these leftists would just keep their grubby hands off this
00:14:17.820 and stop trying to reimagine this day and rebrand it and see things into it that don't exist. I just
00:14:26.240 find it so vulgar and offensive. And we have to take a stand, even if we run the risk of being called
00:14:33.380 racist ourselves. Sheila, it was a great commentary. Thank you so much for weighing in, as always.
00:14:38.980 You got it, David. We have to stop making Remembrance Day about ourselves and our petty
00:14:44.800 grievances and remember why we're doing it. 100%. That's right, all you professors out there and
00:14:50.480 others. It's not about you. It was about them. Thank you so much again, Sheila Gunn-Reed. And of
00:14:58.460 course, that was Sheila reporting from Northern Alberta. Folks, keep it here. More of Rebel Roundup to
00:15:04.920 come right after this. Now, because she originally came to North America to go to the COP25 summit in
00:15:15.480 Chile, which was moved to Spain, she had to find a way to get back across the Atlantic Ocean. And in
00:15:20.820 that conversation, in that business center, in that hotel in Edmonton, she committed to me personally
00:15:25.460 to not taking a plane back. Now, actually, she's going to be taking a half a million euro catamaran
00:15:32.220 across the Atlantic back to Spain. It's a luxurious catamaran. Take a look at this. There's three beds
00:15:37.780 in it, and all three of those beds are filled up with family, a third woman, and Greta herself. Those
00:15:45.080 other three in the hotel room, well, they're going to have to get a transatlantic plane ticket.
00:15:49.180 Nobody knows much about the people behind her, but we do know that they will be getting a plane ticket
00:15:54.520 because there's no other way to get across the Atlantic Ocean in time for the COP25 summit. So I want to
00:16:00.660 thank the protesters in Chile personally for saving us from nearly a year of Saint Greta telling us
00:16:08.300 that we need to change how we live our lives while ignoring China and India and every other major
00:16:14.360 polluter in Asia and Europe and Africa. I'll be going to COP25 with my colleague, Sheila Gunn-Reed.
00:16:20.640 We're going to be there in person to ask Greta, her crew, and everyone else going to the UN some tough
00:16:25.300 questions. And I want to thank Greta for being my carbon offset because I will be taking a plane
00:16:30.520 there. Wow, who could have guessed that being a carbon crusader means that you get to travel the world
00:16:35.540 in style? A luxury catamaran on the high seas and a whiz-bang Tesla sports sedan on the highways.
00:16:44.220 What a sweet gig, eh? And joining me now is our roving reporter, Kian Bexty, who, as just heard, will be
00:16:51.240 taking an old-school jetliner to the next UN climate summit in Madrid. Welcome to Rebel Roundup, Kian.
00:16:57.860 Thanks for having me. Always a pleasure. So, Kian, you mean to say that you and Sheila Gunn-Reed
00:17:04.080 won't be rowing a boat across the Atlantic to reduce your carbon footprint? I mean, in the immortal
00:17:09.840 words of Saint Greta, how dare you? Well, thankfully, Greta is taking an electric catamaran
00:17:17.880 across the Atlantic. So, she's going to be our carbon offset, and that'll pay for our carbon
00:17:24.300 emissions on the way to Madrid. Sheila's leaving from Edmonton. I'm leaving from Calgary and will
00:17:30.460 rendezvous in Toronto and then fly from Toronto to Madrid. So, it's like three, there's going to be
00:17:36.680 six flights at the end of the day. So, thank God for Greta.
00:17:40.960 You know, I'll tell you, Kian, is there anyone in the media or anyone in the environmental movement
00:17:47.220 that would have the intellectual honesty to call out this virtue-signaling facade? And what I'm
00:17:54.640 getting at here, Kian, is that think of real-life people out there that are planning a trip to
00:18:01.680 Europe or a trip to the Caribbean, wherever it is, for pleasure, for work, to see family. The idea
00:18:08.700 that we could, you know, tie in to a pool out there of wealthy millionaires that would lend us a luxury
00:18:17.340 catamaran, that would lend us a six-figure Tesla, it's ludicrous. So, why are we going through these
00:18:24.720 motions in the first place? Well, because the mainstream media refuses to own up to how much of
00:18:31.540 a virtue-signaling joke this is, I mean, Greta Thunberg was in North America with her father,
00:18:37.560 with a BBC producer slash activist, and with some sort of security personnel that we couldn't really
00:18:43.120 identify, but she was really trigger-happy on 911. I think she had it on speed dial. So, all three of
00:18:50.160 those people that aren't Greta somehow got to North America from the continent of Europe, and they took
00:18:58.960 a flight. They didn't, they weren't on a boat, and then they had to take a flight back, because this
00:19:02.580 catamaran only has three beds. Two are taken up by a gal named Nikki, and then the family that owns
00:19:09.180 the boat, and then there's also a baby on the boat as well, and then Greta Thunberg will take up the
00:19:14.740 other bed, presumably. So, there's no room for Greta and her BBC crew, so they're going to take a flight
00:19:20.720 back home, but the mainstream media isn't going to cover that. They're going to say, oh, wow, what a hero
00:19:24.800 St. Greta is for taking this catamaran. She's so committed to low emissions. It's pathetic, really.
00:19:31.340 It really is, and it's a completely unrealistic alternative to the vast majority of people that
00:19:37.860 live on this planet. But, you know, Kian, as one of my professors in journalism school used to say,
00:19:43.460 always follow the money, and when it comes to that, these things, you know, whether it's old-school
00:19:50.480 travel or catamarans and Tesla electric cars, it does not come cheap for this worldwide tour
00:19:59.720 of Greta Thunberg. Who is paying these bills at the end of the day?
00:20:07.100 That's the thing, David. We aren't really able to tell. She's a foreign actor. She came to Canada in
00:20:12.620 the middle of our elections. You might remember the video of me interviewing her in the Edmonton
00:20:16.660 Hotel that we shared. Nobody knew who was funding her, where her money was coming from, yet she still
00:20:22.340 was staging major political rallies that were tied to the Green Party of Canada and the New Democrats.
00:20:28.720 How she's getting back there, who's paying for this trip, well, we're not sure either. I do understand
00:20:33.020 that the boat, the half a million euro catamaran that she's taking, is somewhat owned by the couple,
00:20:40.400 the YouTubing couple that have piloted the boat from Australia around the world in this sort of family
00:20:50.080 YouTube video channel thing. So she's probably getting that for free. She got the Tesla for free
00:20:56.940 from elites like Arnold Schwarzenegger. But who paid for her hotels? Who paid for her food? Who paid for
00:21:03.840 the flights for the BBC crew and for her dad and for her security? Nobody knows.
00:21:09.800 You know, it's fascinating, Kian. I think it was the Times of London had a great article a few months
00:21:16.060 ago that was making the allegation that there's a lot of people tied to the Greta Thunberg movement
00:21:22.740 that stand to make billions with a B dollars in terms of getting green energy contracts. So
00:21:31.660 when you look at it through that lens, it starts to add up and make sense. But we'll see if there
00:21:39.660 hopefully other media outlets can do some investigative journalism and start connecting those dots. But
00:21:45.300 Kian, the other thing about this, and you know, last month I went to Greta's Vancouver climate crisis
00:21:54.260 rally, which was attended by thousands and thousands of people. But I'm trying to
00:22:01.240 understand what the end goal of this is. Everyone says it's about creating awareness. But for the love
00:22:10.680 of God, Kian, surely whether you buy into man-made climate change or not, everybody by now has to be
00:22:19.100 aware of the climate change issue. You can't pick up a newspaper, watch a television, listen to a radio
00:22:25.780 without hearing this dogma over and over again. Wouldn't it make more sense if these kids, instead
00:22:32.500 of playing hooky on Fridays, stayed in school and became, I don't know, the next Steve Jobs and invented
00:22:39.220 a potential alternative energy source instead of just holding up some stupid sign?
00:22:44.940 Well, I'll throw back to a question I asked Greta personally, and it was a question of whether or
00:22:51.660 not climate change is a political problem or a scientific problem. You see these left-wing
00:22:56.380 activists, and not to go into too long of a spiel on this, but at the root of it, this isn't about
00:23:03.100 climate change. This is about wealth redistribution and regime change to left-wing administrations in
00:23:08.620 countries that aren't so dead set on wealth redistribution. So when I asked Greta, is this
00:23:17.660 a scientific problem or a political problem? Well, she said, well, I'm not engaging in politics,
00:23:21.580 this is a scientific problem. And then I said, well, would you like a technical solution to climate
00:23:27.820 change? Would you like someone to solve this problem so that we don't need carbon taxes? And then
00:23:33.660 the immediate response from her handlers and security was, we're going to call 911 on you.
00:23:38.780 And that's the root. They don't want a technical solution to climate change. They don't want these
00:23:44.620 problems to be solved unless it includes a program to redistribute wealth from Canadians to poorer
00:23:53.660 countries in the world or from people who are better off to people who are worse off. That's their
00:24:00.220 goal. That's their fundamental goal. And if that's not part of the agenda, they don't care about climate
00:24:05.260 change.
00:24:06.060 And Kian, I totally echo what you said. That became evident to me at the Vancouver protest,
00:24:13.180 the amount of people there that were identifying themselves as socialists or communists,
00:24:18.060 handing out literature to that effect. I really think what's behind this whole movement is that
00:24:23.980 socialism and communism, it's kind of a tough sell given what we've seen in the world in the last
00:24:30.540 several decades, how that turns out to be in North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, what have you. So the red
00:24:36.540 movement has been rebranded as the green movement, but behind the colors, it's the same political
00:24:43.340 philosophy, isn't it?
00:24:45.260 You're absolutely right about that, David.
00:24:47.340 Well, Kian, it was a good rant. I hope you and Sheila, you know, as a parting question,
00:24:54.380 do you have your press credentials to get into this conference in Madrid or
00:24:58.540 is our own government working against us practicing journalism yet again?
00:25:04.460 I'm actually going to hold off on answering that question because I don't want to spill the beans. I
00:25:09.900 know that Christia Freeland's office is watching Rebel Roundup very keenly to see what our plans are,
00:25:15.900 and we're not going to tell them.
00:25:18.300 Fantastic. Well, you know what? Whether you're allowed in or you're locked out,
00:25:21.900 I know you and Sheila are really going to bring home the bacon in terms of what the real story
00:25:26.380 is going on there. So thank you once again, Kian. Much appreciated.
00:25:30.460 Thanks, David.
00:25:30.940 You got it. And that was Kian Bexty in Alberta. Keep it here, folks.
00:25:35.580 More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
00:25:39.900 Mr. Cherry, tell me, do you think that there is a double standard in this country right now?
00:25:48.700 We just had a prime minister in the last election campaign exposed for multiple times
00:25:53.900 wearing blackface and brownface. So many times he can't even remember himself. We had a candidate,
00:25:58.780 Jamie Batista in Nova Scotia, who said that when he sees a thin native girl, it reminds him of,
00:26:08.380 I think his words were a meth addict, and he gets elected. The media go out of their way,
00:26:14.540 it seems, to ignore or even make excuses for this kind of outright racism. And yet with you,
00:26:21.500 with this one line, they lose their minds. Why is that? Is it maybe that somebody who's right of
00:26:27.820 center is judged differently than those who are left of center?
00:26:31.180 I really don't know. David, you're going to have to figure that out yourself. I know one thing,
00:26:36.060 I am a right winger, and I've always been a right winger. And I don't know about those other things,
00:26:41.500 but I know one thing, I'm gone. And I don't know what else to say. And I feel bad about it. I would
00:26:49.100 have liked to gone on and finish the season, at least this year. But like I say, you make two little
00:26:56.620 words, and you're gone. And that's the way it is. And there's nothing you can do about it. That's the
00:27:02.620 way the world is today. And that's the way it is in the world of entertainment, as they say.
00:27:06.860 Well, don't know about you folks, but I'm still reeling from Don Cherry being axed after almost
00:27:12.860 40 years on Hockey Night in Canada. In fact, I don't think it will sink in until the first period
00:27:19.020 intermission tomorrow night, when Coach's Corner will be replaced by God knows what. What a disgrace.
00:27:28.300 In any event, here's what you had to say about Don Cherry getting fired for saying something some
00:27:35.020 people somehow found offensive. Dee Wood writes, I cancelled the Sportsnet channels in my cable
00:27:43.660 package today. Good. Serves Rogers right. If robbers subscribe to the ideology of cancel culture,
00:27:52.060 then let's see how they like it when they're on the receiving end. I just wish Rogers was my service
00:27:58.220 provider, just so that I could opt out too. Josephess33333 writes, Don Cherry for Prime Minister. He
00:28:07.820 means what he says and says what he means. Hmm. Just when is that Conservative Party of Canada
00:28:14.540 having its annual convention again? I believe it's next April. Well, folks, I can dream, can't I?
00:28:22.300 Lava 1964 writes, Don Cherry is a national treasure. Ron McLean revealed himself as a weasel.
00:28:30.940 Indeed, I believe Judas received 30 pieces of silvery for his treachery. Wonder what Ron got?
00:28:38.620 And Sabrina Miller writes, God bless the man. My heart is broken for him. Sabrina, I am certain
00:28:47.260 these sentiments are shared by millions of Canadians, as well as hockey fans the world over.
00:28:53.260 Too bad the silent majority has once again been trumped by the tyranny of political correctness.
00:29:01.500 Well, that wraps up another edition of Rebel Roundup. Thanks so much for joining us. See
00:29:05.340 you next week. And hey, folks, never forget, without risk, there can be no glory. Good night.
