Oh, hi, everybody. I hope you're enjoying our live stream.
00:00:02.340
Say, we do produce shows also, not just these live streams.
00:00:07.120
I have a daily show called, funny enough, The Ezra LeVant Show.
00:00:13.720
We interview an interesting guest, and then we read my fan mail and hate mail.
00:00:30.000
Oh, hey, good morning, good afternoon, everybody,
00:00:39.920
depending on which part of this beautiful country that you're in.
00:00:43.640
I am Sheila Gunn-Reed, and I'm joined by my lovely co-host from Regina, Saskatchewan.
00:00:49.580
Leigh Smurl, this is the Rebel Roundup, our daily news and opinion show.
00:00:56.640
We have our Buffalo panel, wherein we do our best to bring in two distinct
00:01:01.960
and different voices from the prairies, what should have been known as the province of Buffalo,
00:01:08.240
wherein we talk about issues facing Western Canadians.
00:01:12.220
And so often those issues facing Western Canadians are Eastern liberals.
00:01:30.700
watching us on Rumble, you can leave a Rumble rant.
00:01:33.760
If it's over the $5 US cutoff, we're reading it on air.
00:01:36.920
And if you are on YouTube, you can leave their paid chat over there.
00:01:48.280
But also, if you're watching the recorded version of the show,
00:01:51.120
you can leave a paid comment called Super Thanks.
00:01:55.380
So, Lise, actually, I'll leave the introductions up to you, Lise,
00:01:59.380
because these are your two guests that you are.
00:02:02.220
Well, everybody, do we have a treat for you today.
00:02:04.800
We've managed to wrangle two of the most considerate and noisy voices in conservative media.
00:02:12.780
Our first guest is a seasoned business owner and consultant.
00:02:16.960
He's a former media personality, a political strategist and pundit,
00:02:20.740
known for his no-nonsense takes on the issues that matter.
00:02:24.160
It also so happens that this person is my dude best friend.
00:02:28.880
This is going to be a supreme treat for us to be reunited
00:02:37.520
He comes to us today from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
00:02:40.960
Our next guest is a proud Albertan, an entrepreneur, a father, a husband,
00:02:50.160
He's the voice behind a patriotic apparel brand,
00:02:56.300
Known for his bold commentary and no-nonsense content,
00:02:59.300
he speaks for freedom, family, and the future of this country.
00:03:18.400
Lise and Michael used to be on John Gormley's show together once in a while,
00:03:27.340
This is the Beatles reuniting all across the golden rectangle of Saskatchewan.
00:03:49.060
Last night was the Battle River Crowfoot candidates forum.
00:03:55.620
because there are 210 candidates in that riding,
00:04:01.020
I'm not sure what Elections Canada does around here anymore.
00:04:21.580
Let's show that video, and then we will get some comments from the gentlemen.
00:04:31.100
I'm here because I've spent a lifetime watching elections be decided in Thunder Bay, Ontario,
00:04:36.940
and I've watched the West have the raw end of our structure in our constitution.
00:04:44.760
And I think that what we're really looking at here in Alberta right now
00:04:49.100
is a discussion between what Canada we want to have,
00:04:52.360
if it's the one that has had the West paying for the pandering to Ontario and Quebec,
00:04:56.880
or whether it's one that wants to see an Alberta strong, free, and independent
00:05:02.060
that can actually stand up and make a difference in this world
00:05:12.200
is about a strong and sovereign Alberta and its independence.
00:05:16.580
And I think there's a lot of things in Canada that we're not talking about
00:05:22.940
And I believe that farmers are producers and not polluters.
00:05:27.900
I believe that oil and LNG are a requirement for human prosperity.
00:05:36.840
I believe the nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to humanity.
00:05:40.900
I believe that compelled speech is not a Canadian value.
00:05:53.260
One of the challenges that we have here tonight is that there's a lot of trust.
00:05:57.120
And I had my trust in the Conservative Party of Canada as well.
00:06:01.140
But we are facing a threat in this nation of post-nationalism.
00:06:04.820
And in this last 10 years, we've had Justin Trudeau commit
00:06:11.240
We've had a severe undermining foreign interference.
00:06:15.000
And Justin Trudeau has told us that COVID would provide an opportunity for a reset.
00:06:24.640
So I think he's saying some pretty conservative things.
00:06:32.700
Things I think we probably all wanted to hear from the Conservatives
00:06:38.540
And as I said last night, he's leaving it all on the dance floor.
00:06:43.120
But I don't think Grant is going to win the riding, obviously.
00:06:48.680
What is your response to what he had to say there?
00:06:53.880
He hit every single note that every Conservative in Western Canada
00:06:57.000
and Conservatives outside of Western Canada should believe in.
00:07:02.640
And the unfortunate part about being a Conservative in Canada
00:07:06.920
is even though you hit the high notes, it still probably won't get you elected
00:07:11.540
because that's not the way the East or Atlantic Canada feel about values.
00:07:25.880
I can understand why Pierre has not been that vocal about going that hard
00:07:32.060
because his strategists and his polling would tell him that basically
00:07:38.260
So I thought it was a great first statement by Grant.
00:07:44.900
Now, I think he fell off the rails during the rest of the debate.
00:07:48.620
But it'll be interesting to see what happens in this.
00:07:51.300
And I refer to this as the hooked-on-phonics election
00:07:54.500
because I guess you can just write in somebody's name.
00:07:59.200
And if it's close enough, they say, okay, that's got to go to Polly F,
00:08:03.640
So this is the very, very first Canadian hooked-on-phonics by-election.
00:08:10.860
And just about every ballot is going to need to be scrutinized
00:08:29.380
There are two different kinds of conservatives in this country.
00:08:35.720
There's a very different Western style of conservatism
00:08:38.520
versus the Doug Ford, Tim Houston version of it.
00:08:45.240
And that's the thing is we are such a large country.
00:08:48.000
We are a large country and we do have a large landmass,
00:08:51.680
but conservatism in the East is completely different
00:09:04.720
Conservatives out East don't necessarily see that
00:09:12.200
Out here, conservatism means something different,
00:09:15.320
I truly believe, than what it does in the East.
00:09:18.020
Now, what Grant said there totally aligns with me,
00:09:32.200
and I'm going to lose a lot of support for this,
00:10:05.160
Does Pierre have to be a little more aggressive?
00:10:14.680
I've expressed that he needed to be more aggressive.
00:46:30.840
Doug Ford's Crown prosecutors has taken the rare
00:46:51.120
I'll say it in the way that I said the sentences
00:47:15.600
feedback that any feedback feels like an attack on
00:47:27.580
laws that the Crown prosecutors then apply to the
00:47:37.140
Of course, politicians should be able to and should
00:47:39.840
talk about ongoing issues in our justice system.
00:47:43.740
But that we have this precious, precious group of our
00:47:49.940
judiciary who absolutely consider themselves to be above
00:47:56.180
But they consider themselves to be above reproach.
00:47:58.500
How dare you talk about the hallowed ground that we tread
00:48:05.960
And if you're doing a poor job or if you're being malicious or
00:48:09.140
vindictive, then you deserve that public feedback.
00:48:12.300
Like these poor, oh, you know, this poor, this poor
00:48:22.240
These are the comments from Polyev that they took umbrage
00:48:30.840
While rampant violent offenders are released hours after
00:48:34.280
their most recent charges and anti-Semitic rioters vandalize
00:48:37.800
businesses, terrorize daycare centers, and block traffic without
00:48:40.260
consequence, the Crown wants seven years prison time for a charge
00:48:51.920
If the prosecutors don't want us to talk about them, I mean,
00:48:56.100
why even have a justice minister who oversees them then?
00:49:00.860
If you don't want any oversight, political oversight, then why do
00:49:05.080
we talk about crime and justice during election campaigns?
00:49:09.420
It is an issue the public faces and they need to come to terms with
00:49:14.940
their role in fueling the crime statistics in this country because
00:49:20.040
they are part of the catch and release problem in this country.
00:49:24.320
When you have cops actually doing the job in some of these
00:49:27.140
communities of rounding people up and putting them before a
00:49:32.140
justice of the peace and the justice of the peace says, you know
00:49:35.720
We'll let you out on 50 bucks, but no cash bail.
00:49:37.600
And there's absolutely no objection from the crown or the crown
00:49:43.020
even though the charges would stick to make a plea deal to get some
00:49:48.220
We get to talk about that because we as the public have to live with
00:49:51.400
the consequences of letting these recidivists out on the street.
00:49:55.700
The purpose of having laws is to maintain order.
00:50:00.860
And when those laws and when the judiciary creates chaos, well, then no,
00:50:06.460
that's when we need our elected politicians to step in and say, judiciary, you
00:50:13.080
Because you're out of step with what the population expects of you.
00:50:17.200
And these are people that are just not accustomed to having any public
00:50:23.700
Like how about your decisions are fueling the escalating crime rates when you
00:50:29.080
don't object to these people being let out with no cash bail or objecting to
00:50:37.140
them getting bail at all and arguing against bail when they don't pursue with the
00:50:45.120
heavy hand of the law, the actual bad guys, but then they pursue with the heavy hand of
00:50:51.100
the law, people like Tamara and Chris, of course, we are going to think that it is
00:50:55.700
politically motivated while the rest of us are dealing with our cars being stolen all
00:51:01.000
But then, but then what adds insult to injury is that they pretend to be above it all.
00:51:07.240
We cannot be politically swayed, you see, because we are the arbiters.
00:51:11.340
We are the arbiters of what is good and fair and just in the world.
00:51:14.420
When really, if you're just a regular Canadian and you're seeing them pull these, like, well,
00:51:21.320
punches on the public while not doing their jobs and not fulfilling the mandate of justice,
00:51:34.560
You can just add, you know, the Canadian justice system to the long list of public institutions
00:51:40.100
that are be clowning themselves with their own craziness.
00:51:45.180
I've got a particular opinion on this because the former Crown on the Tamara Leach case went
00:51:50.620
after me personally and tried to pursue me for contempt after a journalist in Ottawa made
00:51:59.120
a politically motivated attack against me and then tried to say that I breached a court
00:52:03.160
order and they tried to have me drug to Ottawa.
00:52:07.980
And the prosecutor there conspired with the journalist there to, you know, try to have
00:52:15.380
Thankfully, the judge said, no, no, whatever contempt there was mitigated.
00:52:22.200
And we are to believe that this is all fair and just.
00:52:26.440
When they're collaborating with liberal journalists to go after the conservative ones who are covering
00:52:33.900
these cases, I know, I know that these Crown prosecutors are not above politics.
00:52:49.920
Let's go to this one, because this is what running your mouth and elbows up costs the
00:53:01.780
Not only did it cost you a stable internet connection, thanks to the wonders of Starlink, but Doug Ford,
00:53:11.540
who canceled the contract with Starlink to provide rural internet, which is what I have here.
00:53:20.240
He did it for elbows up, anti-American, anti-Trump reasons, because Elon Musk at the time was working
00:53:27.640
within the Trump administration on Doge and Trump supporter during the campaign.
00:53:32.540
Uh, Carney, oh, Carney, Ford, there's a Freudian slip, but what's the difference, right?
00:53:39.280
Ford government, it just cost you Ontarians $100 million in cancellation fees to Starlink
00:53:55.740
Elon Musk spent nearly $50 billion to buy Twitter just because he liked free speech.
00:54:01.860
Now, he's turned it into something much better, but that was just $50 billion to just prove
00:54:08.200
Um, this is, do you think that he is remotely affected by Doug Ford showing him who's boss?
00:54:16.040
No, at the end of the day, it's the people of Ontario who are paying for Doug Ford's
00:54:20.320
elbows up tantrum, who are going to suffer, who are going to suffer.
00:54:24.820
And really, Starlink is the answer to so many connectivity issues as it pertains to rural
00:54:33.440
You know, pop this thing open like a little suitcase and away it goes 30 seconds later.
00:54:38.740
Doug Ford, in a, in a hissy fit ahead of the, um, ahead of the federal election said he's
00:54:48.100
Um, this is going to plunge great big humongous swaths of Ontario into digital darkness until
00:54:55.840
he figures out a way for a Canadian company, an elbows up company to come and fill this
00:55:04.520
And if it does, it's going to cost many, many, many hundreds of times more than Starlink
00:55:13.180
Well, now that Elon and Trump are on the outs, like, do you feel stupid about canceling
00:55:19.700
Like at the end of the day for purely political spite, rural Ontarians will have their businesses
00:55:28.120
suffer, their education suffer, their creativity suffer, the convenience suffer because everybody
00:55:32.560
relies on the internet for all of those things, uh, besides entertainment.
00:55:36.460
Um, and, uh, and for what now rural Ontarians have to pay 10 or a hundred million dollars
00:55:45.580
plus also wait years before they get something less reliable that doesn't really exist yet
00:56:02.580
Let's do the daily cringe and then we got to chat.
00:56:11.460
You must recall the global news, uh, hired Rachel Gilmore for a time to tell us how we
00:56:17.580
should discriminate against our friends and relatives.
00:56:20.340
Well, they haven't given up on being so cringy.
00:56:25.160
Extremist, uh, extremist influencers are weaponizing femininity.
00:56:38.260
And I guess at the end of the day, I should be more critical of the Canadian intelligence
00:56:43.760
service that thought that this was a real thing, but women's workout routines.
00:56:51.020
Like this is from the article, women's workout routines that devolve into anti-government
00:56:58.220
Look, I'm training for the fall of civilization.
00:57:08.820
My fun is to lift up heavy things and put them back down.
00:57:12.220
And then run for the day that I have to run from something or to something so that I can
00:57:17.000
get away from something or get something faster than everybody else.
00:57:25.860
But anyways, women's workout routines that devolve into anti-government rhetoric.
00:57:29.980
It's like, it's like they're following me with a hidden camera.
00:57:42.720
We literally talked about this just the other day because Sheila and I are both fans of
00:57:47.240
like granny core stuff, like doing ultra lady-like things just for fun.
00:57:53.060
Like this is how we, like I am the first one to admit that I use my femininity as a weapon
00:57:58.680
I can't remember the last time I didn't, to be completely honest.
00:58:04.360
Yes, I like making chocolate cupcakes and then also ranting about the government in the
00:58:08.960
middle and then going back to doing, you know, vacuuming or scrubbing the counters or doing
00:58:13.620
But this is, this is, this is literally showing us, Sheila, how off the mark our intelligence
00:58:22.500
Because what they're actually saying, what they're actually saying is there is a bunch of
00:58:26.220
women out there who have thoughts and opinions and they're sharing them.
00:58:31.840
They're sharing them while they're doing lady-like things.
00:58:37.340
And I do believe Sheila Gunn-Reed that this is the birth.
00:58:40.280
This here report is the birth of like rebel moms.
00:58:45.740
This is how we, we're just like, we're just going to embrace it.
00:58:48.600
We're just going to embrace this and run with it because yeah, only grants.
00:58:53.180
Remember when we brought up, we brought up only grants and our viewers went nuts.
00:58:57.620
They were like, we would sign up for only grants.
00:59:00.700
It just goes to show you that we are extremely feminine.
00:59:05.960
We're going to lean into our femininity and we're not going to stop talking about things
00:59:12.060
As a matter of fact, I think that this is the definition of misogyny where you say,
00:59:15.980
now sit down little ladies, you want to do workout videos or cooking videos or, you know,
00:59:20.680
your girly things, you must not talk about matters of importance.
00:59:28.040
This is an act of blatant misogyny by our intelligence community.
00:59:34.820
Because when I saw this, I was like, uh, it's, have you never met a normal woman?
00:59:40.220
Because normal women actually talk about these things, right?
00:59:44.220
They think that we are supposed to have this homogenous viewpoint.
00:59:49.340
Of being a bunch of, uh, pro LGBTQ plus, uh, shallow feminists who only have one child
01:00:03.720
Like, you know, like we're not supposed to, they want to say that we are not supposed to
01:00:09.280
be like me and look, Lise and I are kind of different.
01:00:11.980
You can see we're kind of different in our appearance and stuff like that.
01:00:14.880
Uh, I like to shoot things and lift up heavy things.
01:00:18.520
Lise likes to drink wine and watch Real Housewives, but we are both valid women.
01:00:26.120
But according to the Canadian intelligence agencies, we, we, our interests.
01:00:33.380
Our interests make us extreme, which is insane, which is insane.
01:00:38.420
As long as we just, as long as we just are pretty, Sheila Gunn-Reed, well, as long as
01:00:43.420
we just stand there and are pretty and don't say anything, well, then we're safe.
01:00:46.300
Then we're, then we're marked safe by the Canadian intelligence community.
01:00:50.320
But as soon as we have opinions, well, then that, that's what makes us dangerous.
01:00:54.360
And well, um, it's my life goal to be a menace.
01:01:00.240
It was only a matter of time before we went from toxic masculinity to weaponized femininity.
01:01:07.780
The rest of this is stuff that you and I have actually talked about because we do think
01:01:11.980
about the cultural and psychological implications of makeup tutorials that use drag techniques,
01:01:20.240
like the heavy contour and the, and so like these exaggerated drag features.
01:01:28.520
Maybe my makeup won't look good, but I am not using the skills taught to us by men who
01:01:40.320
We talked about this actually so much, like in our, in our personal relationship and not
01:01:47.600
abiding by the standards that the left sets for women.
01:01:50.560
So we lean into the feminine parts of ourselves.
01:01:53.920
We lean into all of our strengths and we will be unstopped by, by whatever blatant misogyny
01:02:02.240
Uh, they say personal finance videos that blame immigrants for stealing jobs.
01:02:06.660
Uh, it's a fact that youth unemployment is affected by the temporary foreign workers program.
01:02:18.000
But there's so many kids are unemployed age 15 to 19.
01:02:21.120
And this is how many people are in the country who shouldn't be one in five jobs is done by
01:02:36.140
And so as mothers, we're not supposed to talk about that, I guess.
01:02:40.700
Like when you, when you notice these things having a negative consequence to your life or
01:02:45.980
to your children's lives or to your family, you must not talk about it because then as
01:02:50.600
per, uh, global news and Canadian intelligence, that makes you an extremist.
01:02:58.160
But this dovetails perfectly into Canadian intelligence saying that parental rights advocates,
01:03:04.280
parental rights advocates, traditional values are extremist, traditional values are extremist.
01:03:09.860
Like we can just lump this all in the same thing.
01:03:12.100
But, but in any case, RebelFam, you can trust that me and Sheila Gunn-Reed are going to be
01:03:20.940
And, uh, and, uh, and we are not going to let this phase us.
01:03:26.420
I was giving sourdough advice long before everybody was into sourdough.
01:03:31.420
I gave, I, I helped Tara make jam the other day online.
01:03:42.520
Um, and anyways, this intelligence, I guess, Intel note, uh, basically says that us women
01:03:53.600
who care about these things and not, uh, being a welcoming space for men to be in our change
01:04:01.280
rooms and stuff, they're basically saying we're being used by the men as if we're not smart
01:04:08.020
Honestly, they say these women foster sense of the community that creates spaces that put
01:04:13.600
their followers at ease, thereby normalizing and mainstreaming extremist rhetoric, according
01:04:26.420
These women with their nice faces and their good ideas and their great opinions are luring
01:04:34.100
other women to have nice faces, good opinions, great ideas.
01:04:39.060
And this is real dangerous for, for, for the deep state.
01:04:46.740
Imagine me, imagine me telling people I like to swing kettlebells, uh, according to the
01:04:53.160
Canadian intelligence services, I'm the problem, but the broad who just went to Syria
01:05:08.760
This is a side-down world and we're living through it, guys.
01:05:15.500
Some intelligence nerd in an office somewhere, just watching hours and hours and hours of
01:05:26.000
Reading, reading mommy blogs, watching what the mommy, the mommy bloggers they're saying.
01:05:33.960
Didn't buy a diaper for any of my four kids for like the first nine months of their lives.
01:05:39.320
Blogs for every major company you can possibly think of.
01:05:42.260
And, uh, and they would describe me as an extremist.
01:05:53.220
This is how I like go outside and road to till another half acre for potatoes for next year.
01:06:03.920
I see this and I'm like, Oh God, I got to learn how to live off the land a little bit more.
01:06:10.280
And like I, my generations of my family, like I live on the family farm.
01:06:16.080
For those of you who don't know, my family broke this land with their backs in their hands in 1903.
01:06:27.000
So they grew their food and, uh, that's, I'm a radical because I put, um, tomatoes in with my flower, like my pots of flowers, because I think, well, I, that dirt I should be using to grow food too.
01:06:46.900
This, this makes me want to say to my husband when he gets home from work tonight, Hey, I was thinking that we should get some chickens.
01:06:53.060
What do you think about me raising some chickens?
01:06:59.840
This is, we will have eggs and chickens for as long as we live.
01:07:04.520
But then one day he will come home and we will have chickens.
01:07:09.560
And I'm just, yeah, we're just going to lead into it.
01:07:13.800
This is how I just, like I said, this is how I wrote it till up more yard for the garden, plant more tomatoes, do 20 dozen.
01:07:23.300
Jars of pickles this year, instead of just my standard 14 to 16.
01:07:29.520
We've got a couple of super chats here and then, oh, three.
01:07:33.640
J and R, $6.99, no chat, but thank you so much.
01:07:49.320
When the zombie apocalypse happens, cover your homes with liberal signage because zombies only crave brains.
01:08:01.960
And also, you know, you'll cover your home with liberal signage so that people won't come and loot it because they'll know you're not prepared.
01:08:26.780
So this whiskey drinking skeet shooting woman without a filter is definitely on Canada's hit list.
01:08:31.840
Good thing we don't have real problems in Canada.
01:08:35.540
I mean, our public safety minister is writing letters of recommendation for actual terrorists.
01:08:44.320
Well, it's good to, you know, it's good to have, it's good to have fans, you know, even lurking in the background intelligence community.
01:08:55.600
P Schofield 10 gives us five bucks and says, you right wing feminazis, you Rush Limbaugh would be so proud.
01:09:09.900
We're out here just trying to live off the land because groceries are too expensive.
01:09:14.320
And the government is like, you've got to be on a watch list, lady.
01:09:23.340
By the way, I got some prickly feedback last night after I went back and looked at the comments in the live stream that we did covering the election.
01:09:36.440
The NDP lady, Catherine Swampy, she was talking about how thanks to the NDP, diabetes meds and birth control were covered under the healthcare.
01:09:48.640
And I said, by and large, those are lifestyle related things.
01:09:52.260
And I don't, I don't want to pay for people's lifestyle related stuff.
01:09:56.540
And then somebody wrote to me and said, I'm a type one diabetic and it's, it's genetic.
01:10:09.460
Five percent of diabetics are type one diabetics.
01:10:21.700
And so those, by and large, are lifestyle related things.
01:10:33.120
Jay Peterson gives us five bucks and says, if you put up liberal signage, it will attract people because they know you can't defend it.
01:10:41.640
I mean, they can't defend it, but also they'll also know that you don't have guns.
01:10:48.740
You don't have food, but you probably have a rainbow flag.
01:10:57.240
I got to get back to work because my friend Tamara Ugolini, who helps me when I'm busy, is off today.
01:11:02.700
And I don't, I don't want the company to have ground to a halt while I'm on air talking to my best friend.
01:11:24.120
And Sheila Gunn-Reed, thanks so much for the grind that you put into this every day.
01:11:31.820
Yeah, I'll be here tomorrow, as I intend to be.
01:11:35.240
Thanks, everybody who pitched in a little bit of their hard-earned cash, their hard-earned dollar-y dues.
01:11:41.260

01:11:51.900
That's the kind of support that, of course, money can't buy.
01:11:55.900
And I invented a new tag line last night live on the stream.
01:12:04.540
If you find us offensive, maybe don't find us at all.
