Rebel News Podcast - CTV reporter attacks Don Cherry — and makes a racist comment. Should she be fired too？

00:00:00.000 Hello, my friends. Today, I punish the viewers. I'm sorry. I apologize in advance. I make you

00:00:06.560 listen to about a minute from this awful, awful show called The Social on CTV. I'm sorry about

00:00:15.240 that. But you just have to watch. You can have a shower and scrub yourself off and rinse your

00:00:22.580 mouth and brush your teeth and get a haircut afterwards just to get all that off of you. 1.00

00:00:25.960 But it's The Social's take on Don Cherry, and it is so stupid, you will lose IQ points. All right, 1.00

00:00:33.960 I'm not even making sense. It'll all come clear in about a minute. I really want you to see the

00:00:38.980 video version of this, too, because, of course, The Social is a TV show. You can do that by becoming

00:00:50.240 You also get access to a couple other shows. It's basically the podcast, but with video.

00:00:55.960 Okay, here's today's podcast.

00:01:12.960 Tonight, a CTV host attacks Don Cherry and makes a racist comment while she does it.

00:01:19.700 Should she be fired, too? It's November 13th, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:25.960 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:30.540 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:34.620 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's

00:01:39.020 my bloody right to do so.

00:01:40.500 The mainstream media is in a conflict of interest when they talk about Don Cherry.

00:01:50.260 I suppose that's nothing new for the mainstream media. I mean, most news reporters in Canada

00:01:55.240 are members of the Unifor Union that had a super PAC-style campaign against Andrew Scheer and

00:02:01.320 the Conservatives in the last election, but they didn't disclose that in their reporting.

00:02:05.440 They didn't end their reports by saying, by the way, I'm taking my own personal money to

00:02:09.480 campaign against Andrew Scheer. They pretended they were neutral. Same thing with Don Cherry.

00:02:15.260 I mean, for years, Peter Mansbridge chafed at the fact that Don Cherry earned more money

00:02:19.720 than he did at CBC and had a way larger audience. So when Mansbridge attacked Cherry over the weekend,

00:02:26.820 claiming that Cherry said things he never did, it was really gross, but it was obviously just an old

00:02:34.040 personal vendetta. So many journalists have some skin in the game with Don Cherry that they just

00:02:40.560 didn't disclose. For example, it was a CTV Rogers consortium that bought the rights to Hockey

00:02:47.720 Nut in Canada a few years back, bought it away from outbid CBC. And then yesterday, CTV was bashing

00:02:56.660 Don Cherry after the Rogers' own Sportsnet fired him. Was that the true point of view of the CTV

00:03:04.180 hosts? Or was that some corporate memo they were just reading as if it was there? I mean,

00:03:09.440 you simply can't believe a word any of these people say. Ron McClain, worst example. He just lied

00:03:15.840 on TV right before our very eyes. On Saturday, I showed this to you twice yesterday, he actually gave

00:03:22.820 Don Cherry a thumbs up and said, that's why we love you, remember? Love you for it.

00:03:30.040 That's why we love you. But the next day, Ron McClain claimed he didn't hear it or he didn't react and

00:03:38.300 he should have or something. I sat there, did not catch it, did not respond. Yeah, so he's a liar.

00:03:46.820 He lied to save his own job. He lied, obviously, at the direction of his producers at Sportsnet. 0.95

00:03:55.120 He threw his friend Don Cherry under the bus. So now we know what kind of man Ron McClain is. But

00:04:00.400 what about the gals on The Social, which is the poor woman's version of The View? I've never watched 1.00

00:04:08.620 it before. Of course not. I work for a living and I'm a man. The Social is for women who don't work 1.00

00:04:16.440 and who aren't focused on their kids. If they have any, they're more focused on drinking wine in the

00:04:22.120 middle of the day. It's Justin Trudeau's core demographic for sure. Anyways, the show is owned

00:04:28.520 by CTV, which was part of the original consortium that hired Don Cherry. And so maybe their attacking

00:04:35.260 him is real, or maybe it's just a sponsored comment like a corporate memo. But these wine moms thought 0.92

00:04:42.300 they'd weigh in on Don Cherry. And really, I think most of them know about as much about Don Cherry

00:04:48.880 as I know about The Social. Not a lot of audience overlap between The Social and Hockey Night in

00:04:55.460 Canada. Look at this. This woman's name is Jessica Allen. She admits right off the bat she has no idea

00:05:01.960 that Don Cherry is a hockey icon, but she knows she hates him and that he's a sexist, racist, 0.96

00:05:09.660 bigot, bigot, because this is amazing. When she was a kid in small town Ontario, apparently someone 0.91

00:05:17.700 who played hockey, which is everyone, was mean to her or something. Watch this and watch the casual

00:05:25.900 and weird racist reference. I think it struck a nerve because I'm told he's a Canadian icon

00:05:34.660 and he's a symbol of the great sport of hockey, which is the sport that unites us across this

00:05:40.620 country. And that narrative is the one that strikes a nerve with me because I don't worship

00:05:46.520 at the altar of hockey. I never have. And maybe it's because of where I grew up, but there's a,

00:05:52.400 and going to a couple different universities, there's a certain type of person in my mind,

00:05:56.520 in my experience, who does. And they all tended to be white boys who weren't, 0.65

00:06:00.660 um, let's say very nice. They were not generally thoughtful. They were often bullies. Uh, their

00:06:06.920 parents were able to afford to put them, you know, spend $5,000 a year on minor hockey instead

00:06:11.720 of $5,000, a lot of money. You can do other things besides spending your time in an arena. You can go

00:06:16.660 on a trip and learn about the world, see other things, eh? You know, like it's, if the place is a,

00:06:22.600 the world is a big place, maybe get sight out of that bubble. And for me, Don Cherry is the walking

00:06:27.920 and talking representative of that type. And he's the type of person that now people want to like,

00:06:33.880 and I know he's done some good things, but at the same time, when someone good is also able to make

00:06:38.440 fun of people who believe in climate science, who's also able to be like, whether he's charming or not,

00:06:44.660 but he's still a bigot and a misogynist when you're, you know, to have those two things,

00:06:49.500 like, I dismiss those people. I mean, I find it embarrassing. I find it embarrassing that

00:06:55.200 there's a big chunk of the country that is so upset about this. Hockey doesn't mean anything

00:06:59.520 to me. I'm sorry. It's not part of my opinion. And you're still a great Canadian.

00:07:02.020 And I'm still a great Canadian. Yeah. Yeah. I'm tired.

00:07:06.740 Who is that low testosterone guy in the crowd? That's great. That's exactly what I was saying.

00:07:15.520 Who dragged him along? And what bet did he lose? Or holy moly, I wonder what his story is.

00:07:27.040 There's a lot going on there. She's not a fan of hockey, she says. She suggests,

00:07:32.880 and I don't quite believe her, that she didn't know exactly who Don Cherry was.

00:07:39.700 So what she lacks in understanding, she'll make up for with certainty and enthusiasm. 0.99

00:07:44.900 He's a bigot and a sexist. Oh, and he actually, he made fun of global warming. And that's really 0.97

00:07:53.500 his worst sin, it sounds like. I don't know if you caught it. Don Cherry used the word you people.

00:07:59.680 She said that type. Did you hear her say that a couple of times? What's the difference, by the way?

00:08:05.420 There was a level of snobbery there, too. And it was really noticeable.

00:08:08.800 Those families, those hockey families who spend money playing hockey,

00:08:14.980 why don't they travel to exotic places instead? I mean, she does. Her Instagram page is full of

00:08:23.080 pictures of her living it up. She wants you to know that even though she's from a small town,

00:08:28.560 she's really sophisticated and very successful. And by the way, did you hear her say it? She went to

00:08:34.520 not just one university, but several universities, she'll have you know. And she travels. She's no

00:08:40.940 small towner, guys. Now, she's in her 40s. I'm guessing that growing up in a small town, Ontario, 0.73

00:08:47.420 in the 70s and 80s, most people were white, like she is. But what's that got to do with anything?

00:08:57.220 Let's grant for a moment that her story was true about mean hockey kids and not just cooked up by

00:09:04.760 CTV's public relations or some producers trying to make her sound more interesting than she really 1.00

00:09:10.180 is. But is she saying that the entire white race is to blame because some kids 30 years ago were

00:09:18.040 mean to her? And what would race have to do with it anyways? She's white. They, if they really did 1.00

00:09:23.300 exist, were white. What does race have to do with the quarrel between kids who bullied her? 1.00

00:09:31.360 What a weird, weird thing to say. What a racist thing to say. But it was a tool because she wanted 0.89

00:09:37.380 to paint not only Don Cherry as racist, but really anyone who likes him, anyone who likes hockey. She

00:09:44.320 wanted to call them bigots too. And she was playing a race card even though she's white. That's weird. 0.97

00:09:49.140 And this is how she shows he's morally superior than Don Cherry for his sin of saying, you people.

00:09:55.380 She said, that type. As Don Cherry told our own David Menzies yesterday, he didn't mean for it to

00:10:02.380 come out that way. When he said everybody, he wanted to say everybody should wear a poppy. It just came

00:10:08.040 out wrong. Here's how Cherry corrected it yesterday. Well, David, I think if I had to do over again, I would

00:10:13.640 have said everybody. And that's what I meant. Everybody should wear a poppy. Beautiful guys

00:10:20.400 that we see 27 years old, 25, sometimes 18 years old, died for our way of life. Everybody should

00:10:27.440 wear a poppy. And that's what, that's what I meant. And it was taken out of context.

00:10:32.140 So the answer to that, you people, which was a malapropism, that's Don Cherry's signature. He

00:10:41.140 says funny words. The answer to that says the social on CPV is to go on a weird rant about

00:10:48.200 how racist hockey is because she's white and some white kids were mean to her 30 years ago 0.90

00:10:55.120 or whatever. Sorry, who's the bigot? Well, I see that fire Jesse Allen is trending on Twitter. 0.82

00:11:04.380 I mean, why not, right? If those are the rules now, Twitter mobs get you fired for saying the wrong

00:11:10.020 thing, right? Except that's actually not how it works. Outrage didn't get Justin Trudeau fired

00:11:17.720 for doing blackface so many times he forgot how many times. But you see, that's different.

00:11:23.100 When it comes to Justin Trudeau, a lot of people are saying no one was outraged. Actually,

00:11:27.140 there was a lot of outrage, I would say. And also what he did wasn't two days ago or three

00:11:31.220 days ago. It was 15 years ago. That's not a full excuse. What he did was horrible. What

00:11:35.800 Justin Trudeau did was ridiculous. But he didn't do it as prime minister. He didn't do 0.96

00:11:40.520 it at a time when he was a leader of a country. Had that platform. Had that platform.

00:11:44.840 And you say it, keep going. You're going to say it.

00:11:46.360 I got the third thing. Third thing. He apologized. He apologized. Not once, not twice, but several

00:11:55.200 times. He came up. He was very contrite. He acknowledged what he did. He had no excuse

00:11:59.300 for it. He acknowledged his privilege. He acknowledged all of it. What has Don Cherry done? He has doubled

00:12:04.160 down. I feel dumber for having watched that last minute there. Imagine listening to that 0.97

00:12:16.600 show for half an hour. That doesn't really make sense, does it? But what? Did you think

00:12:24.340 CTV would criticize Justin Trudeau, let alone their Trudeau demographic, who surely voted

00:12:30.780 for Trudeau despite blackface? Look, I think this Jessica Allen is really gross. I think that's 1.00

00:12:38.260 actually her sort of shtick. It's her place on the show. I was trying to figure out who she

00:12:43.700 was. I'd never heard of her until today. And I think her specialty is, sorry to say it,

00:12:50.340 I think it's, it's being gross. It's being the gross one, the dirty one. I think that's 0.97

00:12:55.900 her shtick. I mean, this is sort of funny. That's a funny picture. You got to admit, that's

00:13:00.160 funny. But this one, this is sort of gross. I don't really want to look at people sitting

00:13:09.140 on the toilet. She posted this to Instagram. Now, lucky her, she found a man who loves her

00:13:16.720 for who she is. And apparently he is totally into toilet photos that she publishes too.

00:13:25.460 So they really have a lot in common. That's her sense of humor shining through. She sure

00:13:32.080 likes bathrooms and she likes using the word shit. I think that's her thing. She's the shit 1.00

00:13:38.480 girl on, on the social. Look, what do I know about daytime TV for wine moms? I guess they, 1.00

00:13:47.220 they have the pretty girls, the fashion girls, and then they got this, the shit girl. I don't even 1.00

00:13:52.860 really think she's a racist, by the way. She just says what the rest of the corporate mainstream 1.00

00:13:58.780 media says, the mainstream culture. She's white from a small town. I think her strenuous attempts 0.97

00:14:04.460 to show how worldly she is just sort of underlines that. She's got an inferiority complex. No problem. 1.00

00:14:10.460 I mean, I like white people. I had small towns. I'm not racist or placist. I think she's fine.

00:14:16.460 Some people who didn't like being insulted by her, whether they're white or they just like hockey,

00:14:22.340 they couldn't help but see her hypocrisy using a racial insult deliberately to criticize Don Cherry,

00:14:28.740 who didn't make a racial insult and certainly didn't mean it that way. So here's her reply.

00:14:34.460 On Twitter, I never said every white boy, okay? Just the ones whose unsavory behavior, 1.00

00:14:42.240 which didn't feel very Canadian, I witnessed because of this, I'm guilty of having conflicted

00:14:47.180 feelings about hockey being so closely linked to our national identity. Yeah, well, you didn't say

00:14:53.620 every white boy and Don Cherry didn't say every minority either. In fact, he didn't even say the

00:14:58.820 word minority or race at all. He just said people who come to our country should learn about the

00:15:03.460 sacrifices made by earlier generations to keep us free and make us a great country. And he's right. 1.00

00:15:09.580 And he's a hero. And I'm not sure how many exotic places he's been on his Instagram.

00:15:16.760 He's been to exotic places, but not to drink wine. He went to Afghanistan to stand with our troops,

00:15:23.900 troops of every race and background.

00:15:26.020 In the meantime, Jessica Allen was taking photos on the toilet and calling other people's names. 1.00

00:15:33.500 I don't think Jessica Allen should be fired. I think she's a perfect fit for CTV. I just think

00:15:41.620 she's gross. And I look forward to never watching her or giving her a minute's thought again, 0.95

00:15:48.800 which is the proper way to deal with someone you don't like, as opposed to smearing them and hounding

00:15:56.640 them out of their job. Stay with us for more. 0.98

00:16:00.720 You people out there, if you're listening and you're doing it and you, you should get involved

00:16:17.100 in this too, because what they want to do, they want to take when our guys, when they come back,

00:16:22.140 they, uh, you know, they need the jobs. Everybody needs jobs. They want to put them in the construction

00:16:26.760 business. So they're going to train them. So you people should get involved. I'm going to be

00:16:31.680 involved. Helmets, the hard hats, the greatest people in the world next to our troops. So come

00:16:37.220 on, get involved in this. It's a Canadian way. You people out there.

00:16:42.060 Do you hear him say you people? That's how Don Cherry said, hey, you people, you people, you people.

00:16:48.400 It's a, it's an idiom. It's a, it's, it's a mannerism. It's a turn of phrase. Everyone's got them.

00:16:54.160 You people, it's one of his, you know, if he's from the South, he'd be saying y'all or all y'all.

00:17:00.060 He says, you people. And for that phrase, he was fired and called a racist. He is not a racist.

00:17:09.980 Frankly, I think he's exposed some racism in other parts of the media, including as I showed you on

00:17:16.840 CTV. Well, there was a group of Canadians who held a protest despite the chilly weather in

00:17:23.820 Toronto in support of Don Cherry and possibly, though I don't think it's probable, his reinstatement

00:17:32.000 on Hockey Night in Canada. And down there at the protest is our very own David Manzies, who joins

00:17:37.700 us via Skype. David, give us a report from on the ground there. Where are you? How many people are

00:17:44.580 there? And is there any chance? As I can tell you, at the height of the protest, there were there was

00:17:52.000 about a few dozen people here, very passionate people. Now, a lot of people might say, well,

00:17:57.860 that's a fail. I think it speaks to something bigger here, Ezra. Everyone knows that this is more

00:18:04.960 than merely a sports program or an icon being canceled. This speaks to cancel culture. And we

00:18:14.740 know Don Cherry has hundreds of thousands, if not millions of fans. Coach's Corner is the most

00:18:20.840 watched seven minutes of TV in Canada every week. And I think the low turnout speaks to the fact,

00:18:27.900 Ezra, that so many people just don't want to be caught on camera going to bat for their hero,

00:18:35.460 Don Cherry. Because you know what, Ezra? That might mean tomorrow they get a call from Human Resources at

00:18:42.640 their place of employment. And guess what? This isn't good for our brand. This isn't good for our

00:18:49.260 image. And they, too, walk the plank. I think that's downright scary, to tell you the truth.

00:18:55.020 You know what, I find that a very credible explanation. If Don Cherry can get fired for

00:19:02.000 saying you people, which, as I showed in that clip, he says all the time, and he clearly clarified with

00:19:09.040 you yesterday when you went to his house, he didn't mean it in a bigoted, racist way. Only

00:19:13.800 someone taking a deliberate and malicious approach would possibly think that. But that's the point. It

00:19:21.680 is deliberate and malicious. So if they're sacked Don Cherry, they'll sack anyone. If they could go

00:19:28.020 after someone that big, surely they could go after someone smaller. It is called out, and it is in the

00:19:33.960 middle of a workday. And most conservatives actually work. They don't sit at home watching The Social or

00:19:40.240 some other wine mums TV show. Did you talk to anyone there? I saw someone with a poster that said free

00:19:49.580 speech. Is it, do people there actually think Rogers will reconsider their decision? Or is everyone

00:19:58.820 pretty much resigned to the fact that Don Cherry's never coming back?

00:20:02.500 That's a great question, Ezra. Obviously, the point of this protest is to get Rogers to change

00:20:10.800 their minds. And I spoke to our good friend, and really the point man on this story, the guy that

00:20:17.040 broke the firing story, Joe Warmington, the scrawler at the Toronto Sun. And his opinion, Ezra, is that

00:20:25.220 right now as we speak, Ron McLean is at a meeting at the CBC headquarters building on Front Street.

00:20:31.400 And Joe says that if Ron takes a stand, if Ron says you have to bring Don back, if Ron goes to bat

00:20:42.720 for Don's job, as Don Cherry went to bat for Ron's job twice, then yes, something can be salvaged.

00:20:51.760 But it's all, at least according to Joe Warmington, Ezra, it's in Ron McLean's hands whether we're

00:21:00.540 going to get traction on this or not. I'm not sure if Joe's accurate or not. I mean, we live in a

00:21:07.160 culture where executives are hypersensitive about their company's image, about what advertisers

00:21:15.520 might say. But my goodness, Ezra, again, I go back to how chilling this is, that if an icon,

00:21:23.420 Ron, if a guy that's known as Mr. Canada in some circles, a guy that had an almost 40-year

00:21:29.240 career on Hockey Night in Canada, if he can be deplatformed, anybody can.

00:21:36.000 Yeah. Well, listen, if anyone has to rely on Ron McLean, then there is no hope. He's a man

00:21:42.000 without shoulders, as they say. He's a man without a chest, as they say. We saw what he's made of

00:21:49.920 on Sunday when he threw Don Cherry under the bus, lied about Don Cherry, blamed John Cherry,

00:21:55.420 and then arrogated unto himself the right to apologize for Don Cherry when Don Cherry did

00:22:00.500 no such thing. Ron McLean is a disgrace. And, you know, there's an insult. I'm sure all our 0.98

00:22:08.160 viewers have heard it. I wouldn't pee on him if he was on fire. Well, I mean, that's taken as an 0.69

00:22:14.980 insult. That is how Ron McLean is towards Don Cherry, his old friend.

00:22:20.420 Ezra, I agree. So many people online are calling him Ron Judas, and there's a lot of merit to that 1.00

00:22:27.020 slur. But this could be a moment of redemption for him if he can grow a spine and do the right thing 0.62

00:22:35.140 and do Don a good turn, as Don has done him twice to save his job in the past. Well, like I said,

00:22:44.260 that's in Ron's corner. And we'll just have to see if he's going to man up, if I can use that language

00:22:50.880 these days. Yeah. Well, it's unleashed a torrent of reverse racism. We showed earlier CTV's The Social

00:22:59.560 Bizarrely rolling out some anti-white racism, which I didn't even understand. And the whole

00:23:06.740 sport of hockey is being smeared as being too white, which is a racist thing to say. It's bizarre. No one

00:23:13.260 would ever say the NBA is too black. That's just a bizarre and racist thing to say. I think it's a

00:23:20.020 combination of, like, that's not even the Canadian way. We didn't have Jim Crow laws. We didn't have

00:23:26.400 slavery here. We just don't have that U.S. experience or foreign experience. We're a harmonious

00:23:33.000 place. Importing that racial grievance culture, that Black Lives Matter extremism, that's just 0.96

00:23:40.240 un-Canadian. But that seems to be the official line in all the official media. I guess the question,

00:23:46.100 David, is, is that real life in Canada? Or is that just anyone, like the official people,

00:23:52.660 the fancy people, people who work for TV networks, that's not Canada yet, is it?

00:23:59.260 Ezra, the silent majority isn't buying into this. This is manufactured. As you know,

00:24:07.260 Ron McClain himself was giving the thumbs up and nodding his head when Don made those comments.

00:24:12.100 I believe the Coach's Corner segment was aired in three other time zones. So no producer at Sportsnet

00:24:20.580 said this was too hot a potato. And when it comes to, you know, race and sports, what I always

00:24:26.620 remember, Ezra, is about, I might have the dates wrong, but a good 12 or 13 years ago, the Toronto Star

00:24:35.420 ran a front-page Saturday Star report entitled the Toronto White Jays. And it was in reference to the

00:24:43.980 Toronto Blue Jays baseball club. Why are there so many white players on this team? That was the 1.00

00:24:50.400 thrust of the article. The story blew up in their faces, Ezra, because when somebody looked at the

00:24:57.720 number of Hispanic residents in Toronto, the number of Black residents in Toronto, they were actually

00:25:04.300 over-represented on the Toronto Blue Jays. So it was more than, I guess, the diversity quotient

00:25:14.080 of Toronto itself. There is this obsession with liberals in the media when it comes to race,

00:25:22.140 so much so, Ezra, that they can't even get the facts right when they try to portray our society

00:25:30.540 as being racist. Yeah, it's just bizarre. It's not even a Canadian way to look at the world. That's

00:25:35.860 just not our history. Well, last question to you. I mean, you were up there at his house and he seemed

00:25:42.160 pretty calm about the whole thing. I guess an 85-year-old guy is almost 86, had a good run,

00:25:47.880 put a few bucks away. He knows he did nothing wrong. He knows the people are with him. Do you think he's

00:25:53.440 done or do you think he'll get another, do you think he likes to opine on the world, not just hockey,

00:26:00.660 but on the world in general? Do you think, I mean, obviously he'd be welcome here at the Rebel. I just

00:26:04.560 don't think we could muster the money to compete with what he was making in the past. But who knows,

00:26:10.900 if he's persona non grata with all the fancy people, maybe he'll come hang out with us rebels

00:26:15.380 here. He is a rebel in his own way. What do you think is next for him? Well, Ezra, I might be dreaming

00:26:21.180 in Technicolor, but I understand there's a leadership review for the Conservative Party

00:26:25.520 of Canada early next year. But I guess at Don's age, that ship has sailed. I'll just say this,

00:26:32.640 because I know we've got to wrap it very quickly. If I was a computing sports network, I'd be at Don

00:26:38.640 Cherry's Mississauga house right now with a contract with a blank amount for his salary. Because like I

00:26:46.800 said, this guy's responsible for the most watched seven minutes of TV every week in Canada. He's

00:26:53.360 entertaining. He's still relevant. How can you possibly leave an asset like that on the table?

00:27:00.840 Let's see what happens in the days ahead. Yeah, very interesting. Well, I'm glad you're down there.

00:27:06.020 And I haven't checked in the last couple hours. But when I checked earlier this morning,

00:27:09.620 our petition at supportdoncherry.com had over 75,000 names. So that's just a small hint of his

00:27:17.120 support. David, thanks for covering this story so well. And congratulations again on your exclusive

00:27:21.600 interview with him last night. Thank you so much, Ezra. All right, there you have it. David,

00:27:26.780 the Menzoid Menzies, downtown in Toronto, outside the Rogers headquarters, which owns Sportsnet.

00:27:35.520 Stay with us. More ahead.

00:27:39.620 Hey, welcome back to my monologue yesterday about Don Cherry. Ron writes,

00:27:49.780 Don Cherry is a Canadian patriot of the highest caliber. Asking new immigrants and Canadians in 1.00

00:27:53.980 general to wear poppies is literally a staple of Canadian assimilation. Well, you said the word 0.89

00:27:59.700 assimilation. I don't even think you're allowed to say that anymore. I'm not just musing.

00:28:05.660 There was a fellow recently who wanted to assimilate as his license plate, and it was like a Star Trek

00:28:12.640 word or something. But the government wouldn't let him use it because that's apparently a bigoted word

00:28:18.320 in Canada. True story. John Carpe of the Justice Center took his case, and I think they actually

00:28:23.880 lost. Mitchell writes, I am an immigrant, and what he said was true. We love freedom here,

00:28:29.560 and we should participate in remembering the sacrifice of those who came before. Cherry was

00:28:33.360 fired by politically correct cannibals. Absolutely. Absolutely. It was a mob. 0.99

00:28:39.560 You saw the two reactions. Don Cherry said, I'm not bending the knee. And Ron McLean said,

00:28:46.760 yes, sir. Yes, sir. I'll throw my friend. I'll inform on my friend. I'll denounce my friend

00:28:52.000 if you spare me. That's exactly how it worked in the denunciations and the struggle sessions in

00:28:59.840 authoritarian regimes like Mao's Cultural Revolution. That's just how it was.

00:29:04.920 On my interview with Yasmeen Mohamed, Jan writes, Yasmeen Mohamed is incredible. She's a very brave

00:29:12.480 and heroic woman. Can you imagine the social interviewing her? They'd want to tear her apart 0.97

00:29:17.320 for being racist. Hey, that's a very good point. Well, first of all, she's a lot smarter than them. 0.99

00:29:23.860 Second of all, that Jess Allen or whatever her name was wouldn't be able to play the race card 1.00

00:29:29.660 against Yasmeen Mohamed, but they would never have her on because they want those comfortable 1.00

00:29:34.040 mainstream opinions. That and lots of wine and potty jokes. The social, you can have it.

00:29:41.700 Well, folks, that's the show for today. Until next time, on behalf of us here at Rebel

00:29:46.140 World Headquarters, good night and keep fighting for free.

00:30:04.040 Thank you.

00:30:04.700 Thank you.

00:30:05.040 All right.

00:30:07.280 Bye.

00:30:08.460 Bye.

00:30:09.680 Bye.

00:30:10.160 Bye.

00:30:12.220 Bye.

00:30:12.300 Bye.

00:30:12.700 Bye.
