00:00:00.000 Sean, Neil Davidson from the Canadian Press.
00:00:02.700 The Canadian Press, man.
00:00:04.280 Were you a COVID bank account stealer, too?
00:00:07.940 Were you on board with that? 0.97
00:00:09.160 We got one of the f***ing commies with the press.
00:00:12.720 We got to know where this man stands. 0.81
00:00:14.060 Were you non-biased? 0.86
00:00:15.320 He's going to go back and f***ing give my bank account information. 0.99
00:00:18.040 He'll f*** you, though. 0.99
00:00:21.300 You might not know it yet, 0.98
00:00:27.840 but Sean Strickland just became your favorite UFC fighter.
00:00:31.280 The UFC returns to Canada this Saturday,
00:00:34.020 and middleweight champion Sean Strickland
00:00:36.060 showed up to a press conference on Wednesday
00:00:37.920 and went absolutely scorched earth 0.93
00:00:40.560 on the pathetically weak legacy media in this country. 0.90
00:00:43.760 And, of course, the champion pulled no punches 0.88
00:00:45.580 when talking about Justin Trudeau. 1.00
00:00:47.780 F*** Trudeau. 1.00
00:00:48.620 Hearing someone speak the truth without a filter 1.00
00:00:50.880 and without fear of reprisal from the media or his employer
00:00:54.060 is just so refreshing.
00:00:56.020 When one ultra-progressive legacy media journalist
00:00:59.720 tried to throw a gotcha question at Strickland
00:01:01.840 and get him cancelled
00:01:02.640 for previous comments he made
00:01:04.080 about the transgender insanity going on in the world, 1.00
00:01:06.900 Sean Strickland counted with a devastating blow 0.59
00:01:09.040 calling out this legacy media journalist
00:01:11.320 for being the enemy of Canada.
00:01:14.340 Pure gold. 0.99
00:01:15.180 Like, dude, this guy's a f***ing enemy. 0.97
00:01:17.400 After years of demeaning the Canadian public, 0.98
00:01:20.040 propagandizing on behalf of the Liberal government,
00:01:22.640 and cancelling anyone with a public platform
00:01:24.800 who dares to question the narrative,
00:01:26.820 I think it's safe to assume that these journalists
00:01:28.640 had no idea what just hit them.
00:01:31.440 Stick around for the ratio of the week.
00:01:32.960 Drop a like in the video.

00:01:36.500 And the comment question for the episode is this.
00:01:39.400 Is Sean Strickland right?
00:01:41.020 Is the legacy media in Canada the enemy of Canada?
00:01:44.620 Let me know your answer in the comments below,
00:01:46.700 and let's get into it.
00:01:47.500 UFC champ Sean Strickland rocked up to Canada
00:01:50.580 for his fight on Saturday night
00:01:52.120 and immediately started dropping bombs
00:01:54.360 on the Canadian legacy media and Justin Trudeau.
00:01:57.140 We'll start with this first viral clip
00:01:58.680 making the rounds on social media.
00:02:00.840 When a question from journalist Alexander Lee
00:02:03.500 about Strickland's past comments
00:02:06.080 about the transgender insanity going on in the world 1.00
00:02:08.620 and how that might impact Toronto's
00:02:11.060 supportive gay and lesbian community.
00:02:13.720 Well, Lee didn't even get a chance to ask his question
00:02:16.580 before Strickland put him in his place.
00:02:18.840 Check this out.
00:02:19.800 I did want to ask, you know, you're in Toronto.
00:02:21.360 Welcome, glad to hear.
00:02:22.080 It's been great.
00:02:22.680 Are you Canadian?
00:02:23.600 Of course I am. 1.00
00:02:24.440 Are you part of the fucking opposition? 1.00
00:02:26.040 Are you? 1.00
00:02:26.320 I don't know how to phrase that. 1.00
00:02:27.520 You, I mean, you got like fucking, ah, yeah. 0.99
00:02:29.760 Well, I did want to ask. 0.99
00:02:30.620 Did you vote for Trudeau?
00:02:33.000 You know, I'm not going to say.
00:02:34.140 Let me tell you something right now.
00:02:35.540 If a man says he's not going to say, 1.00
00:02:37.020 like if you ask a motherfucker, 1.00
00:02:37.940 did you vote for Biden? 1.00
00:02:38.980 He's like, well, I'm not going to say.
00:02:40.080 That's none of your business. 1.00
00:02:40.820 He voted for fucking Biden. 1.00
00:02:42.480 So, hey. 1.00
00:02:43.220 Sean, I'm glad you had great experience.
00:02:44.280 So this is, this is what I'm talking about, you guys.
00:02:46.380 The enemy, the enemy of Canada.
00:02:48.460 That's what it's got to be.
00:02:49.220 It's got to be.
00:02:50.180 We've got a pretty supportive gay and lesbian community
00:02:52.060 in this city.
00:02:52.840 I did want to ask you about something
00:02:53.720 you wrote a couple of years ago.
00:02:54.880 You said, if I had a gay son, I would think I'd. 1.00
00:02:56.940 Oh, look, another, another. 0.99
00:02:58.340 I'm saying the swamp, you guys, the swamp.
00:03:00.780 You become a champion, you become a star.
00:03:02.520 Let me ask you something. 0.99
00:03:03.820 Are you, are you, are you gay? 0.99
00:03:05.160 No, are you, are you, let me know. 1.00
00:03:07.980 Are you gay? 0.99
00:03:08.760 Can I hear, can I get an answer? 0.94
00:03:09.520 Well, no, I'm asking you, I'm, this is a part of the,
00:03:11.020 are you, are you a gay man?
00:03:12.320 I'm an ally of the community.
00:03:13.500 Okay.
00:03:14.080 If you had a son and he was like, you know, 0.97
00:03:16.200 you had a son, he was gay. 0.83
00:03:17.160 You'd be like, oh man, you don't, 0.94
00:03:18.220 you don't want a grandkid? 1.00
00:03:19.280 No problem with it.
00:03:19.920 Oh man. 1.00
00:03:20.300 Well, dude, you're a weak fucking man, dude. 1.00
00:03:22.260 You're like, you're part of the fucking problem. 1.00
00:03:24.380 You elected Justin Trudeau. 1.00
00:03:25.820 Like, would you fucking, when he sees the bank accounts, 1.00
00:03:28.920 like, you're just fucking pathetic. 1.00
00:03:30.640 And, and the fact that, the fact that you have 1.00
00:03:33.240 no fucking backbone and, and has he shut down 1.00
00:03:36.800 your fucking country and sees bank accounts? 1.00
00:03:38.880 You asked me some stupid shit like that. 1.00
00:03:40.880 Go fuck yourself. 1.00
00:03:41.840 Move the fuck on, man. 1.00
00:03:42.800 Fuck coward. 1.00
00:03:44.040 The enemy of Canada. 1.00
00:03:45.620 You just love to hear it.
00:03:46.760 Imagine if we had some politicians 0.74
00:03:48.120 treat the legacy media like this. 0.99
00:03:50.180 If the media treats you like garbage, 0.99
00:03:52.020 why give them any respect? 1.00
00:03:53.660 They're not doing actual journalism.
00:03:55.060 They're simply just trying to cancel anyone
00:03:57.160 who doesn't align with their far left
00:03:59.020 progressive narrative.
00:04:00.400 Of course, the question that Alexander Lee
00:04:02.200 eventually asks Sean Strickland
00:04:03.940 has nothing to do with his fight on Saturday night.
00:04:06.540 Instead, it has to do with Toronto's LGBT community.
00:04:10.540 But I did want to ask also things you said
00:04:12.140 about the trans community.
00:04:13.180 You said, uh, this past October
00:04:14.380 when they announced the Bud Light sponsorship
00:04:15.700 that you'd go so hard on Bud Light in your next fight,
00:04:18.440 they'll have to accept me or denounce me
00:04:19.780 when, uh, when they know what,
00:04:21.300 and we'll know what they stand for.
00:04:22.720 Are you still going to use your fight time
00:04:23.760 to kind of speak on that?
00:04:24.620 Here's the thing about Bud Light.
00:04:26.260 10 years ago to be trans was a, what? 1.00
00:04:28.340 A mental fucking illness. 1.00
00:04:29.520 And now all of a sudden, people like you 1.00
00:04:31.740 have fucking weaseled your way into the world. 1.00
00:04:34.240 You are, you are an infection. 1.00
00:04:37.320 You are the definition of weakness. 1.00
00:04:40.460 Everything that is wrong with the world 1.00
00:04:42.280 is because of fucking you. 1.00
00:04:44.360 And the best thing is, is the world's not buying it. 1.00
00:04:47.400 The world's not buying your fucking bullshit 1.00
00:04:49.280 you're fucking peddling. 1.00
00:04:50.400 The world is not saying, you know what? 1.00
00:04:52.240 You're right. 0.99
00:04:52.900 Chicks have dicks. 1.00
00:04:53.720 The world's not saying that. 0.99
00:04:54.760 The world's saying, no, there are two genders. 1.00
00:04:56.360 I don't want my kids being taught about, you know, 1.00
00:04:59.280 who they could fuck in school. 0.99
00:05:00.580 I don't want my kids being taught about, you know, 1.00
00:05:03.040 their sexual preference.
00:05:04.900 You may not like the choice of language
00:05:06.700 Strickland used in that clip, and fair enough.
00:05:09.100 But you'd struggle to find anything
00:05:10.820 in what Strickland just said that wasn't true.
00:05:14.100 The most refreshing part about this
00:05:15.720 is how he handles this journalist. 1.00
00:05:17.700 You're pathetic. 1.00
00:05:18.620 You have no backbone. 1.00
00:05:20.020 You're weak. 1.00
00:05:20.860 You let Justin Trudeau get elected.
00:05:23.260 He just calls up the media for what they are.
00:05:25.280 These self-important, arrogant legacy media journalists
00:05:28.060 who've made a career off of cancelling people
00:05:30.320 and peddling government-approved narratives
00:05:32.360 while taking taxpayer money
00:05:33.780 need to be called out to their faces every now and then.
00:05:37.180 And it's so refreshing to hear, isn't it?
00:05:39.780 And believe it or not,
00:05:40.900 it just keeps getting better from there.
00:05:42.780 Take a look at what happened
00:05:43.760 when a Canadian press journalist
00:05:45.500 stepped up to the mic.
00:05:47.020 Sean, Neil Davidson from the Canadian press.
00:05:49.620 The Canadian press, man.
00:05:51.200 Were you a COVID bank account stealer, too?
00:05:54.820 Were you on board with that?
00:05:56.760 No.
00:05:57.600 Are you left-wing or right-wing?
00:05:59.140 Were you a Trudeau? 0.98
00:06:00.460 We got one of the f***ing commies with the press. 0.93
00:06:04.020 We got to know where this man stands. 0.81
00:06:05.360 Were you non-biased?
00:06:07.760 I think I'll ask the questions here.
00:06:09.680 Oh, he thinks he'll ask.
00:06:10.780 Oh, we f***ing know. 0.99
00:06:11.760 Maybe I should just pass on this mother f***er. 1.00
00:06:13.480 He's going to go back. 0.99
00:06:14.640 He's going to go back 0.96
00:06:15.600 and f***ing give my bank account information 0.99
00:06:17.360 of f***ing Trudeau. 0.99
00:06:18.240 Well, it's probably a good bank account. 0.99
00:06:22.700 Can we claim Strickland as one of our own at this point?
00:06:25.400 Give him honorary citizenship?
00:06:27.060 Commie journalist, bank account stealer?
00:06:29.460 Just so good.
00:06:30.620 But notice something as well.
00:06:32.260 When Strickland says that you're going to give
00:06:33.820 my bank account information to Justin Trudeau,
00:06:36.200 the journalist doesn't say,
00:06:37.700 no, I don't support that.
00:06:39.040 I think that was a little too far from the government.
00:06:41.480 He goes, it was probably a good bank account.
00:06:44.080 The same goes for that Alexander Lee journalist.
00:06:46.140 He didn't even have the backbone to stand up for himself
00:06:48.780 when Strickland called him the enemy of Canada.
00:06:51.080 He simply just said,
00:06:52.340 if that's what it's going to be,
00:06:53.360 that's what it's going to be.
00:06:54.560 But Strickland is absolutely right
00:06:56.260 about the legacy media in this country,
00:06:58.140 and in particular, about the Canadian press.
00:07:00.780 Strickland did his homework
00:07:01.480 because the second that journalist said
00:07:02.960 he was from the Canadian press,
00:07:04.380 he immediately piped up and called him out
00:07:06.780 for peddling Justin Trudeau's narrative.
00:07:08.780 The legacy media and the Canadian press
00:07:10.600 did exactly what Sean Strickland pointed out.
00:07:13.140 All throughout the pandemic,
00:07:14.400 the legacy media handheld the government
00:07:17.080 as they instituted unconstitutional
00:07:19.280 and authoritarian mandates on the people.
00:07:22.220 They didn't push back ever on the government
00:07:24.300 when they decided to freeze the bank accounts
00:07:26.260 of peaceful Canadian protesters.
00:07:28.680 And of course, the media,
00:07:30.260 while taking money from the Canadian government,
00:07:32.860 smeared Canadians who wanted to make 1.00
00:07:34.520 their own medical decisions.
00:07:36.240 He knew exactly what was coming
00:07:37.700 from these journalists in Toronto.
00:07:39.480 The journalist who asked that first question
00:07:41.520 to Strickland that I showed you in that clip
00:07:42.940 has this tweet pinned to the top of his ex profile.
00:07:46.660 With the UFC 297 main event in Toronto announced,
00:07:50.040 a reminder, trans women are women
00:07:52.680 with a transgender flag.
00:07:54.680 Now, of course, the UFC, Dana White,
00:07:57.160 they're not trying to cancel Sean Strickland
00:07:58.780 for his comments.
00:07:59.880 The UFC is probably the only sports league in the world
00:08:02.840 that actually allows their athletes
00:08:04.760 to say whatever they want to say.
00:08:06.620 Unlike basically any other sports league
00:08:08.300 where if you said what Sean Strickland said,
00:08:10.580 you would never see the light of day again.
00:08:12.440 But that didn't stop one publication,
00:08:14.760 Out Sports, an LGBT sports blog,
00:08:18.800 from trying to get Sean Strickland canceled
00:08:20.620 from the fight altogether.
00:08:22.560 MMA fighter Sean Strickland called a journalist
00:08:24.920 who asked about his own awful comments 0.94
00:08:27.240 about having a gay son an infection 0.98
00:08:29.540 and way beyond. 0.92
00:08:31.520 Strickland should be suspended from UFC 297.
00:08:34.460 His language went way beyond
00:08:36.360 anything remotely acceptable.
00:08:38.520 And just so you know where the journalist
00:08:39.940 who asked Strickland about his previous comments
00:08:42.140 is coming from,
00:08:43.260 he made it all about himself in this article.
00:08:46.420 I come from a city that has a very strong LGBTQ community,
00:08:50.380 Lee told Out Sports after the encounter with Strickland.
00:08:53.220 I've never been comfortable with a lot of fighter stances
00:08:55.480 on LGBTQ issues,
00:08:57.180 and he's been worse than most.
00:08:58.800 I felt it was my responsibility
00:09:00.480 to communities in the city of Toronto
00:09:02.860 to ask these questions.
00:09:04.720 It's your responsibility
00:09:06.180 to ask questions about the fight on Saturday night.
00:09:10.880 Not to try and get Sean Strickland canceled for his comments,
00:09:13.920 none of which were particularly that offensive,
00:09:16.960 given that most people seem to agree with Strickland.
00:09:19.940 Now, the best meltdown
00:09:21.360 from Sean Strickland's comments
00:09:22.940 didn't come from a journalist at the press conference.
00:09:25.740 It came from this guy named Mike Ryan
00:09:27.720 on the Dan Lebitard show.
00:09:29.960 Take a look at this meltdown. 0.99
00:09:31.540 That is bull**** that we allow that. 0.99
00:09:35.140 It's bull****. 0.99
00:09:36.120 And we can't ignore it. 0.99
00:09:37.500 And we should.
00:09:38.460 Because while the UFC isn't going to do anything about it,
00:09:41.220 I would challenge ESPN to make a public statement on this.
00:09:45.920 Because that kind of hate is going over their airwaves.
00:09:49.260 The Walt Disney Company.
00:09:51.560 What, like, what? 1.00
00:09:53.580 Are you a chicken s***? 1.00
00:09:55.000 That you allow this with impunity regularly. 1.00
00:09:59.900 But it's never been this vile.
00:10:02.040 The guy's wearing a t-shirt that says
00:10:03.680 women belong in the kitchen, 1.00
00:10:05.500 a gun in every hand.
00:10:07.420 Disney's a family company. 0.95
00:10:09.500 Hell, Disney's a company.
00:10:10.860 Take family out of it. 0.97
00:10:12.400 This is revolting.
00:10:14.160 You have that guy's last name on a pay-per-view.
00:10:17.100 At the very least, condemn it.
00:10:20.280 It's revolting that Sean Strickland would speak the truth in such a brash way.
00:10:25.120 I can't believe he's wearing a shirt that says
00:10:27.040 a woman in every kitchen and a gun in every hand. 1.00
00:10:29.500 It's revolting.
00:10:30.700 Put out a statement.
00:10:31.520 Condemn Strickland.
00:10:32.720 Cancel Strickland. 0.99
00:10:33.980 When did MMA journalists become so woke and pathetic? 0.98
00:10:37.080 This is MMA. 0.98
00:10:38.580 Hand-to-hand combat.
00:10:39.700 What sport do these guys think they're reporting on here?
00:10:41.760 This isn't curling.
00:10:42.640 Oh, it's some big surprise that people who get punched in the head for a living
00:10:46.100 aren't perfect spokesmen for the woke, lefty, LGBT cause?
00:10:50.900 These sports journalists in Canada have made a living off of getting people cancelled.
00:10:55.620 Remember what the journalists did to Anthony Bass
00:10:58.000 when he dared to share a Christian influencer's Instagram post
00:11:01.780 as an Instagram story over the Target and Bud Light boycott.
00:11:04.700 The journalists chased him out of the MLB,
00:11:07.360 forced a Maoist-style confession video on him,
00:11:10.100 and then got him cancelled afterwards.
00:11:11.740 Now, this is to say nothing at all, of course,
00:11:13.480 about what the media did to Don Cherry.
00:11:15.200 For simply pointing out in this country
00:11:17.100 that many people refused to wear the poppy during Remembrance Day.
00:11:21.360 For that, a great Canadian legend has to be booted off air.
00:11:24.880 You've even got so-called sports journalists like Bruce Arthur over at the Toronto Star
00:11:29.080 who went from reporting on hockey
00:11:30.780 to being a full-fledged cheerleader of the government's handling of the pandemic.
00:11:35.340 I have to say, it's just so great to see athletes like Sean Strickland
00:11:38.540 put these journalists in their place
00:11:40.260 and call out Justin Trudeau for what he's been doing to Canadians all these years.
00:11:44.280 Best of luck on Saturday night.
00:11:46.180 All right, everyone, that's going to do it for us this week on the show.
00:11:48.960 Thank you so much for tuning in.
00:11:50.520 My name is Harrison Faulkner, and this is Ratio.
