00:01:43.440 Today, we have an in-depth conversation with one of our newest Rebels, Drea Humphrey. I'm
00:01:47.620 Sheila Gunn-Reed, and you're watching The Gunn Show.
00:02:07.340 You know, I might, might be just a little self-serving when I say that you don't need to be a classically
00:02:12.560 trained journalist to do journalism. It's not a school that you graduate from or an exclusive
00:02:17.520 guild that your competitors let you join. In fact, I think the only rebel on-air talent
00:02:22.540 that actually went to journalism school is David Menzies, and I'm not so sure he got his money's
00:02:30.280 worth. I didn't go to journalism school. Ezra didn't go to journalism school, and he founded
00:02:34.640 Canada's largest independent news network. Kian didn't go to journalism school. Andrew Chapados,
00:02:39.980 he's not gone to journalism school. Neither has our new Vancouver-based colleague, Drea Humphrey,
00:02:47.200 and I think that's probably to her credit. I like to say we're news for the normals, by the normals.
00:02:54.040 I like to ask questions and cover stories that I know families like mine are curious about or care
00:02:59.120 about as opposed to what the mainstream media tells us we should care about from their comfortable
00:03:04.360 cubicles in Toronto or Ottawa. Now, Drea's been with us for a few weeks now, and I want to learn
00:03:10.860 a little more about her, and I think you'd like to learn a little more about her too and the things
00:03:15.140 that she cares about and the things that she'll be focusing on. And so I thought, why not have her
00:03:21.140 on the show to do just that? Now, the interview I recorded with Drea, I'm going to be honest. It's not
00:03:28.120 my usual studio quality recording. It was a simple Skype conversation between her and I
00:03:32.680 over this past long weekend, both of us taking time out of our long weekends with our family
00:03:38.000 to do a little work. So please look past the framing and the audio of it all. And please
00:03:44.340 enjoy this interview I recorded with Drea this past Sunday when she was at her home in Vancouver
00:03:49.280 and when I was in Revelstoke, BC with family.
00:03:58.120 So joining me now from her home in Vancouver is one of my newest Rebel colleagues, quickly
00:04:14.480 becoming one of my favorites, Drea Humphrey. You know what? This is how I know if the other
00:04:20.940 guys watch my show. I'll at least know they're watching my work. Drea, I'm glad to have you
00:04:29.140 on the show. This is the first time you've been on my show. I know you've been on David's
00:04:32.060 show, Rebel Roundup, a little bit. The first thing I wanted to talk to you about, and I guess
00:04:38.340 it's kind of the obvious, you're a Black woman. You're a Black woman who's conservative, and
00:04:45.020 you are very critical of BLM. How did you end up being critical of this movement that
00:04:50.820 says Black Lives Matter, and so I guess everyone must support it?
00:04:56.200 Well, I'm glad you called me Black because Joe Biden sure as heck wouldn't. I think it
00:05:02.640 just came down to how I was raised, and I was raised to treat people as equals, and that's
00:05:08.400 how I've always wanted to be treated. So as soon as I see any group, doesn't matter what
00:05:12.880 it is, that's, in my opinion, actually telling Black people that they can't achieve as much
00:05:19.860 things or that you're sort of limited or you're in some kind of box simply because of the color
00:05:25.980 of your skin, that's not really something that was resonating with me nicely. And then
00:05:31.420 the more that I looked into the organization, the more I looked into what the leaders were
00:05:36.980 saying, I found a lot of what some of the leaders were saying as racist. And I know that they seem
00:05:43.460 to not acknowledge that you can be racist against white people, but saying things like,
00:05:47.180 prevent me or Lord, help me not to kill white people. I mean, quote unquote, it's not exactly
00:05:54.140 the same way, but basically, I mean, that's not something that I'm for. I love people of all skin
00:05:59.800 tones. And so to have the leaders, the founders speaking like this, and then, you know, then I
00:06:06.580 learned that they're self-proclaimed Marxists. And I'm like, whoa, you know, that's totally not what
00:06:12.020 I stand for. So, you know, the more that I just really looked into it, and I wish other people would
00:06:17.800 really look into it, I realized, number one, they're not talking about the what seems like the primary
00:06:24.560 concerns, as far as the most immediate threat, to if we take it to the Floyd situation to black Americans,
00:06:31.360 if we start there, and we look there, you know, they're not addressing black on black crime, they're not
00:06:35.980 addressing the family life, they're not acknowledging that there was some changes with the second act, when
00:06:42.300 Trump signed that, that helped actually, you know, keep people back in their homes, take them out of the
00:06:48.740 prisons for a long time. So it's just such a mess. And even when I look at the
00:06:54.280 Canadian Black Lives Matter, and they want to abolish the police, I mean, none of these things I
00:06:59.720 stand for. So yeah, I don't stand for Black Lives Matter. You know, it's funny, because these people
00:07:06.360 who support Black Lives Matter, and it's so often a bunch of virtue signaling upper middle class white
00:07:13.480 kids, with the black Instagram posts, and they're advocating for fewer cops in black and marginal
00:07:21.480 communities. And that's how gangs overtake black communities. But they don't have to deal with
00:07:28.340 those bad policy ideas, because they're living in a fancy neighborhood somewhere else. And they've
00:07:34.500 never been touched by the problems plaguing minority communities, especially in Toronto.
00:07:39.800 Yeah, I don't know if you saw any of the videos on Twitter and stuff of a lot of white people in the
00:07:48.040 name of Black Lives Matter going to black areas and vandalizing the areas and wrecking the the
00:07:54.980 businesses, the black owned businesses in the areas in the name of Black Lives Matter. So I don't know
00:08:01.980 what's going on. I've got a video coming up, where today I was just, I'm black and indigenous, and I was
00:08:08.500 booted off of a public park for not, I don't know, I don't know, you guys will have to wait and see, but
00:08:15.720 basically by indigenous people. So I'm starting to feel like it's less about the color of your skin
00:08:23.000 and more about if you agree with the left or not. I'm starting to really see that that's kind of what
00:08:29.480 it is for a lot of the things happening right now in general. Yeah, it truly is about politics,
00:08:35.500 because, and it's, it's about progressive politics and Marxism, and the abolishment of the
00:08:42.720 family. We saw just a couple of days ago, some white, and I think African, or black, and may I,
00:08:51.980 I mean, they're just pro-life activists is what they were. Let's not even put a label on what they
00:08:56.520 were. They were pro-life activists. They went to a planned parenthood, because they tend to plunk these
00:09:02.240 things in minority neighborhoods, because I guess the left thinks it's better off not to be born at
00:09:08.580 all than to be born poor. And they painted on the ground, black baby lives matter. And those pro-life
00:09:18.660 activists were arrested. And all they're saying is black babies deserve to be born too. And they're
00:09:24.960 taken away in handcuffs, yet you can vandalize everything with BLM, hashtag BLM, spray painted on
00:09:32.340 somebody's property, loot their stores, and you're free. They don't arrest you. Exactly. And I hate to
00:09:40.300 use Kanye West as an example, but I mean, he's everywhere right now. But you know, they're,
00:09:46.300 they're really attacking him for, for getting emotional about how his daughter was almost aborted,
00:09:53.240 and how that resonates with him. And he's really sad about it. And they're just making them sound
00:09:58.820 like that's a crazy statement. And whether you're pro-life or, or not, I think you should be able to
00:10:05.000 comprehend the fact that he has a daughter that wouldn't be here. And you know, that's emotional
00:10:09.820 for him. I don't see why that's crazy there. So, you know, there's just nothing illogical right now
00:10:16.840 about the far left. I can't connect the dots. So help me God. Yeah. And they did like, you did a
00:10:24.020 really fantastic interview, um, the other day with the chairman of the Frederick Douglass Foundation.
00:10:31.420 And he really had some, uh, he pinpointed where the problems are. If you care about, um,
00:10:40.240 the black community, if you care about the problems plaguing it, um, as you rightly point out,
00:10:47.080 black on black crime, um, criminality, recidivism rates, incarceration rates, um, drug abuse, he says
00:10:54.880 it comes down to the fact that families in the black community are not intact. And those, those problems,
00:11:00.840 those same statistics overlay into white families experiencing the same problems. If your parents
00:11:07.900 aren't together, if you're not born into a stable home, you are at greater risk of those things,
00:11:12.800 but nobody wants to talk about it because then it takes us into feminism, doesn't it? Because
00:11:17.560 it takes us into, well, women can have it all and you don't really need to be married to have a baby.
00:11:24.040 And you, you, you can have everything you want. You don't need a husband. Um, and people sort of
00:11:30.900 forget that there are children who are living with consequences of feminism, I guess.
00:11:34.880 Yeah, that was Kevin McGarry and he had a lot of good things to say and he does a lot of videos
00:11:40.840 that are really, he really goes out into detail and explains, um, you know, contradictions with
00:11:46.880 black lives matter. And that's one of the things that he points out and I couldn't agree more. I
00:11:51.480 mean, you're, you're dealt the cards you're laid with. And obviously if you're born in a two parent
00:11:58.320 home, that's a good two parent home. You're going to have some better odds, no matter what color
00:12:03.060 your skin is. You know, um, I grew up in times, you know, we were poverty, we were living in poverty
00:12:09.700 and sometimes my stepdad was there and not. And so even with that, yes, it sets you back in some
00:12:17.760 ways, but at the same time, I still don't like the idea of teaching my kids or anything like that,
00:12:23.760 that because of the color of their skin, they're set back or even because, um, you know, during my
00:12:29.760 divorce or something that they would be set back. What happened to encouraging your kids,
00:12:34.580 encouraging young people that they can achieve if they work hard, uh, you know, anything,
00:12:40.900 anybody else can. I used a reference one time, like if my child was born with one leg, I would
00:12:47.060 really want to instill into them just how much they can do and how much they can, that they can
00:12:53.700 learn and adapt and make people respect them because of what they've overcome. So I'm, I'm kind of
00:12:58.800 worried about all of these young kids. I've seen them, I've gone to events and I don't, I can't tell
00:13:03.680 if they're Antifa. I can't tell if they're Black Lives Matter. I can't tell, but I can tell they're
00:13:07.320 very young. And so I'm a little concerned with the fact that they're kind of having this, this
00:13:14.780 attitude now and this belief and yeah, scary. Yeah. They're, they're told that if they,
00:13:24.020 they won't achieve in the world, it's somebody else's fault. Yeah. You know, like the, I was
00:13:31.320 raised to think the world didn't owe me anything. I'd have to earn it all. And now kids, they are,
00:13:36.840 are told completely the opposite. You are owed something. And if you don't have it, somebody else
00:13:42.540 took it from you. And that's, I mean, what a generation we're raising now changing lanes a little
00:13:49.300 bit. We could talk about this issue forever. Changing lanes a little bit. You're also sort
00:13:54.500 of on the mandatory mask beat. And that's really something that you've been concerned about. And I
00:14:02.220 think it was sort of the reason you came onto our radar is, you know, you were, you've been at these
00:14:09.140 freedom protests in Vancouver. Luckily, Vancouver isn't going down the same road that the rest of the
00:14:15.980 country is that they're bringing in mandatory masks now that the pandemic is over for some reason.
00:14:22.820 What do you think is behind this push for these cities? Now that not only have we flattened the
00:14:28.260 curve, it's, it's, there was no curve to start with to flatten. Why are they bringing in the masks now?
00:14:35.460 Well, I'm just going to take it back and just touch a little bit of my journey with masks.
00:14:39.340 Please. Okay. So, so I bought N95s back in January. I stocked up on them before there was
00:14:47.940 any shortage because I followed just not mainstream news media. And I knew there was whistleblowers in
00:14:56.060 China being silenced of some crazy virus that's spreading fast and killing people. And so, you know,
00:15:02.540 I was like, Oh, better get N95s, which are the most qualified masks to actually help you from this
00:15:09.160 situation. So I bought that. And I'm the type of person who has, um, you know, enough emergency
00:15:15.820 supplies. Should there be an earthquake? You know, isn't that what we're told to do? I have it in my
00:15:20.660 car. I have it in my house. Um, you know, sometimes we dip into the food, I replenish it. So that's how I
00:15:26.200 am. That's how I think every Canadian should be. So then I had this government who started shaming me
00:15:33.200 and I, and that was the first like weird thing I saw with the mask. So they're like, there was this
00:15:38.560 real shame. If you had the correct type of mask, if you went out and you bought for your family and
00:15:44.100 you were prepared, it was like, no, you're not allowed because you're, you're not, um, you know,
00:15:49.380 a frontline worker. And don't get me wrong. I get that. However, the government had thrown away
00:15:54.160 millions and millions of masks and not replaced it, the liberal government. And so, but the citizens
00:16:02.100 were reading the headlines and getting mad at the people who, who were prepared for them and their
00:16:07.480 family. And that's where the hate was. I can remember wearing an N95, I don't know, maybe
00:16:13.020 February or something. And, you know, people giving me dirty looks and I had one guy intentionally
00:16:18.680 hacking on me. So I've been through the whole motion with the mask and it really made me sort of
00:16:23.900 distrust the health, uh, our health officials, as well as the liberal government. It made me
00:16:29.500 distrust their judgment because they weren't able to get it together. They weren't able to
00:16:34.160 acknowledge, uh, what masks, um, if masks were helpful, what type were helpful. And they were
00:16:40.440 also kind of encouraging, I thought, shame. And as you can see is all they have to do is give a
00:16:45.380 suggestion and, and people will quickly react to shame and judgment. So I do believe there is a time
00:16:51.680 in a place for masks. I do believe they play a role in pandemics and I have lots of friends
00:16:57.020 in Japan and that's always to date been a good country for us to look at with COVID. And they're
00:17:03.180 all like, you know what, masks are not mandated here. Um, you know, many of us wear it. It's pretty
00:17:07.880 common to wear it, especially if you're in a small place like that, but there's no blanket,
00:17:12.340 like you have to, there might be a store you walk into that says you haven't and everybody just
00:17:17.140 kind of applies. And, and so you had a country like that go through it. And then you had us take
00:17:22.580 forever to even acknowledge, you know, Teresa Tam to, to acknowledge whether or not it's helpful or
00:17:28.220 not. Like, like there's never been a pandemic before she's been on the world health organization
00:17:33.380 as one of seven pandemic doctors for years upon years. I mean, I think 10 or 12 years ago,
00:17:40.040 she was in documentary saying, as soon as there's a pandemic, you got to lock healthy people up and
00:17:44.920 then ask later if you, if you overreacted. So I was just like, what's going on? You know,
00:17:49.780 I really realized you have to do what's best for your family and you have to look at the numbers
00:17:54.040 and they have to make sense. So here we are now, if you look at the numbers, it doesn't make any
00:18:00.600 sense to be mandating masks in Canada of all places based on the numbers that we've had. And so
00:18:08.080 that's where I go into freedom of choice. It's not that I won't wear a mask somewhere where,
00:18:13.220 you know, I can't socially distance and there's some elderly people. I'm not some, I don't know,
00:18:19.160 I don't want to scare people either. But at the same time, I don't need my government to force me
00:18:24.060 to put masks on, especially when they couldn't get their act together and tell us to wear masks when
00:18:28.220 we should wear a mask. I think I have a better opinion about what's best for me and my family
00:18:33.180 based on their actions lately.
00:18:36.080 Oh, that's so phenomenal. And no, I've been with you. We've been in Toronto. You have to wear a mask
00:18:41.020 in an Uber. We wear a mask in an Uber. Like we're respectful of the people around us. And
00:18:45.720 you know, we stand away from people if we're not wearing a mask. And I think that's just social
00:18:50.720 courtesy. I don't have the cough. I'm not going to give somebody the cough, but if they're uptight
00:18:55.600 about me being a little too close to them, I respect that. You know, like I'm not here to scare
00:19:00.740 anybody, but there is a lot of fear and misinformation. And I think a lot of that was
00:19:08.020 bred by the government. And yet now they're the ones running around saying that we've have to fight
00:19:14.500 misinformation about the coronavirus. I do too. That's why I think we have too much government.
00:19:20.360 Yeah, exactly. Oh, this whole misinformation censorship thing. And then, oh, that's like a
00:19:26.040 whole nother topic there. But yeah, you're right. And and you have people saying they like I remember
00:19:31.680 in the Uber, he said, yeah, you can't breathe in this thing. And it's just it's just, you know,
00:19:35.920 the forcing. I think that that is a dangerous, slippery slope when we start throwing our rights
00:19:41.800 away and saying, yeah, we're so scared that you can now force us what we need to wear. Like,
00:19:48.420 I don't understand where Canadians don't connect the dots there and say, you know what? No,
00:19:53.200 you're you're overstepping. Thank you very much. We understand. We appreciate it. But don't don't
00:19:57.780 mandate masks on us, especially with these numbers. So
00:20:01.240 one last thing I wanted to talk to you about is still on the coronavirus topic. You did something
00:20:08.840 that I have not seen anybody else really do. You saw that. Well, yes. And, you know, I'll get to that
00:20:19.060 in a second. But you did something that I don't think a lot of people could have done. You saw the
00:20:26.100 fact that the coronavirus cases were not manifesting themselves in the homeless community in Vancouver's
00:20:36.540 downtown east side the way that government officials had promised. And, you know, these are
00:20:42.840 people already who are, you know, largely a lot of them are immunocompromised underlying issues. And
00:20:48.800 underlying infections that do put them at risk of a whole a number of other things. Plus,
00:20:54.420 they are living in less than sanitary conditions. Every time the rest of us turn around, you know,
00:21:00.300 we have to wash our hands and wear a mask. And they don't that's just not how it works down there. It's
00:21:06.860 just not part of everyday life. You did something I haven't seen anybody else do. And you went down to
00:21:12.760 the downtown east side. And you asked the people who are on the ground there, what it's like, what's
00:21:19.380 happening, what it's like to be in the age of the cough, when you are already living in a marginal
00:21:25.420 community. And you did something else. And you treated these people with dignity. Life has,
00:21:33.440 you know, been hard. Some people do choose to be there. Some people don't. But, you know, we do a
00:21:40.740 lot of talking about these folks on the street, but not a lot of talking to them, which I think
00:21:47.100 is pretty admirable. You treated them the way we would treat any other person that we were
00:21:53.480 interviewing on the street. And I don't think they get a lot of that.
00:21:56.500 Mm hmm. Well, I think that's the most important. It's all about treat others the way you would like
00:22:01.980 to be treated. That's how I was raised. Again, that's why I don't agree with Black Lives Matter.
00:22:07.200 It just ties into it. A lot of those people are just down on their luck. And like you said,
00:22:12.820 there's different circumstances. It could be mental health, it could be the cards that they were dealt
00:22:18.180 with. It basically just comes down to treating others the way you want to be treated. That's how I was
00:22:23.080 raised. That's why I'm not a huge fan of Black Lives Matter, because they're not treating people
00:22:28.280 nicely with respect and in an equal way. And, you know, the homeless people are, in my opinion,
00:22:35.380 just like you and us. But different things have happened. They've had different walks in life. And
00:22:40.320 a lot of times it has to do with their childhood and the cards that they were dealt. And sometimes it
00:22:45.920 has to do with other things. And you make a few bad decisions and look where you are. So
00:22:50.060 I don't really see them as a population that's kind of too different than me, just with different
00:22:57.120 circumstances. So I guess it was natural or natural for me to just talk to them and get their opinion
00:23:03.700 on their own neck of the woods. Yeah, I mean, that was the part that I really liked is you're like,
00:23:09.900 this is their neighborhood. So why wouldn't I talk to them? Why would I talk to the activists
00:23:13.740 who are speaking for them? Why don't I talk to them? So I think by the time this goes to air,
00:23:19.020 that video will have been out because we're pre-recording because it's the August long weekend
00:23:24.060 and I'm sort of kind of not supposed to be working, but here I am. But I do, I hope everybody
00:23:29.340 checks that out because you did treat the people of the downtown east side with a lot of kindness
00:23:34.660 and respect. Drea, before we go, because it is long weekend and you shouldn't be working and neither
00:23:41.220 should I, I wanted to ask you a work question, I guess. You're new to the company, but the great
00:23:49.220 thing about working for Rebel News is that we have all this freedom. I think that other journalists
00:23:55.700 don't get, like they get stories assigned to them and they have to cover what they're told to cover.
00:24:01.080 And, and of course they cover it in their own biased way. And so do we, but we're upfront about
00:24:06.280 where we're coming from. Yeah. We get a lot of freedom to cover the stories that we care about.
00:24:12.120 So my question for you is going forward as one of our newest rebels, um, and quickly becoming a fan
00:24:18.760 favorite. Yeah. What are the things that are on your radar? What, what drives you? What do you want
00:24:24.980 to talk about as Drea Humphrey, rebel journalist? Oh, okay. In the hot seat. Um, you know, I think I am
00:24:31.900 going to continue following the mandated mask just because my gut tells me we're not seeing the end
00:24:37.500 of these types of mandates and these types of rules. So I think that that might expand into some
00:24:42.640 other things. And I think that I'm not alone in those concerns. In fact, I'm another video coming
00:24:48.380 up where I'm interviewing a lawyer. He thinks that those are very valid concerns that that could,
00:24:54.100 there could be other things that are mandated. So I think I'll follow that. And also I feel like
00:24:59.000 we've heard about the second wave so much that I feel like it's coming, it's coming, whether the
00:25:05.980 numbers add up to it or not. So I want to watch that closely and just see how accurate kind of
00:25:12.080 mainstream media is reporting on that to people. Um, and I already have some ideas. I'll, I'll run them by
00:25:18.300 you, Sheila, to make sure I'm not way off on left field, but I have some ideas of, of maybe just kind of
00:25:25.000 calm down people. Let's take a breath here. Let's, let's dissect these numbers for what they are
00:25:31.900 instead of the crazy titles that you guys are seeing that make you want to stay in a bubble
00:25:35.700 locked up the whole time. And, um, you know, I would love to do more topics. If we keep going down
00:25:42.940 the abolish the police road, I would like to do more topics that kind of challenge that. I know I said
00:25:50.500 before on David's show that I have been talking to officers who are not even able to come out
00:25:55.600 publicly and speak about it. And they have some really good ideas about where money should be
00:26:00.020 allocated and how it would actually help, um, even reduce police brutality, but also do things like,
00:26:05.800 uh, help more cold cases be solved and things like that. So I think that there needs to be some
00:26:11.800 more voices about what we're, what the silent majority by staying silent is actually kind of putting
00:26:18.760 at risk to letting go or, or seeing cutbacks or whatever it's going to look like. So those are
00:26:24.860 some of the things that I'm interested in. And I hope the viewers are interested in those as well.
00:26:29.580 Well, they are interested in your work already. Like I said, you're quickly becoming a fan favorite.
00:26:34.520 I know that the fact that you're on my show this week was a request from a viewer. Actually,
00:26:39.020 I think it came to us. It came in via a super chat. When people pay me money to super chat,
00:26:44.480 um, I got to do what they say. And I, I, I jumped at the opportunity. So we'll have you back on the
00:26:50.440 show very soon. Please enjoy the rest of your long weekend, whatever they call it here in BC.
00:26:56.520 Yes. Family, family day is coming up tomorrow. So yes, you too, Sheila. Okay. Bye guys.
00:27:14.480 Drea has got a unique perspective because of her background and where she lives. I admire her for
00:27:23.060 seeing the human dignity in the downtrodden to speaking to people, the mainstream media won't
00:27:28.160 and for telling their stories. And you know, it can't be easy to be a black conservative or
00:27:33.760 a conservative in Vancouver. And Drea is both. So, you know, Drea is a woman of strength and integrity.
00:27:39.980 She is who she is, even when people say she shouldn't be. And I cannot wait to see what
00:27:46.100 she does next. Well, everybody, that's the show for tonight. Thank you so much for tuning in. As
00:27:50.400 always, I'll see everybody back here or in my studio in the same time, in the same place next
00:27:56.060 week. And remember, don't let the government tell you that you've had too much to think.
00:28:09.980 So, you know, don't let the government tell you that you've had too much to think.
