Rebel News Podcast - DAILY Roundup ｜ Canada hits 40M people, Trudeau takes on Meta, More Liberal⧸China connections

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody, and welcome. Thank you so much for joining us today for this edition

00:00:18.200 of the Daily Roundup. I'm excited today because I am joined by my co-host for the day, Drea

00:00:23.420 Humphrey. Drea, I think this is the first time we've had the opportunity to do this

00:00:26.680 together. How are you doing today? It is. It's so good to see you identifying as David today.

00:00:32.540 It's nice to join you. Yeah, I'm doing good. Hope everybody watching is good, too.

00:00:37.920 Yeah, indeed, indeed. So if you are watching us, you're probably joining us on one of these

00:00:42.040 possible options, YouTube Rumble Odyssey Getter. That's great. We appreciate you joining us,

00:00:46.900 however you are. I am going to, however, encourage you to join us on one of the free speech platforms.

00:00:51.620 Rumble is particularly great. We've had some great viewership on Rumble. It's surpassing

00:00:56.300 our YouTube members. And one of the great reasons we want to support those types of outlets,

00:01:01.160 those types of media opportunities, is because they don't care about where you stand on issues.

00:01:05.140 They're just providing a platform for you to share your perspectives, and they're providing

00:01:09.060 a platform for us to join you today. So do consider switching over to one of those other

00:01:14.000 things. If you like watching this on your TV from Rumble, you can stream right to your TV.

00:01:17.700 It's got all of the same utilities you might find on YouTube. So check us out there. The Daily

00:01:23.160 Roundup is really an opportunity for us to have kind of an informal conversation, like we're sitting

00:01:26.820 around a coffee table, go through some of the interesting stories of the day. It's also an

00:01:30.720 opportunity for us to interact with you and you to provide some sort of feedback as we go through

00:01:35.360 these articles. Drea, do you want to touch on that opportunity for folks to just chat with us a little

00:01:39.800 bit? That's right. The platforms don't only stand for free speech. They have not demonetized us like

00:01:46.320 YouTube. So you can live chat on both Odyssey as well as Rumble. There's a little way to do so

00:01:53.680 showing you at the bottom here. But basically, like Adam said, it's a fun way to be a part of the show

00:01:58.380 with a donation of $5 or more. We make sure to try to read your comment on what we are talking about,

00:02:04.200 the current events of the day. And yeah, you also get to support our journalism and keep Rebel News

00:02:09.520 going strong. Another way that you can continue to support our journalism is through locals. You get

00:02:14.840 access to all our content there, but you can also sort of subscribe and support us and get access

00:02:18.500 to some exclusive content. So lots of ways to interact. Before we get into the stories of the

00:02:23.480 day, I did want to touch a little bit on some of these new items we have at the Rebel News Store

00:02:27.780 at rebelnewsstore.com. They are for Canada Day. This is our special Canada Day collection. Now,

00:02:33.780 for the time being, you can use the code either ADAM10 or DREA10, actually, if you want to get 10%

00:02:38.420 off your order. Some of these designs are really good. I love that one with like the beaver from the

00:02:42.540 nickel on it. God keep our land glorious and free. Really nice stuff. You know, if there's folks out

00:02:47.280 there who are maybe separatists who aren't necessarily too sold on the idea of Canada anymore, or at

00:02:53.620 least how Justin Trudeau's Canada is looking, well, this is an opportunity for just one day to set that

00:02:59.460 aside. Justin Trudeau wants nothing more than to erase our national identity, to decry Canada, to make

00:03:05.120 us post-national. So I think this is one day where we can come together, grab a shirt from the Rebel News

00:03:09.980 Store, support some independent journalism. And just for one day, we can all be Canadians

00:03:14.080 together and stick it to Justin Trudeau, right where it hurts. He loves to destroy that, don't you

00:03:18.660 think? Well, especially since there's so many attempts to cancel Canada Day happening. Out here

00:03:24.100 in BC, we're canceling our fireworks. Canada Day is offensive. So it's sad, but it's true that such a

00:03:30.500 simple form of standing up for your country at this point and freedoms is just the Canadian flag and

00:03:36.480 wearing it and showing people you're proud of the traditional Canada values that made this country

00:03:42.460 the true North strong and free. So check it out. And yeah, I like that one too. God keep our land.

00:03:48.480 It's so offensive, isn't it? I know it's the God and they're going to have our sons in there and then

00:03:53.800 everyone's going to go off wild to see. And the thing that I love about this too, is when you talk to

00:03:58.780 the communities that are purportedly offended by this, whether it be Indigenous communities,

00:04:03.020 they, someone was saying that Chinese communities were offended by fireworks that don't, don't even

00:04:06.800 get me started on that. But when I reached out to local Indigenous communities, they were all doing 0.99

00:04:10.760 fireworks shows and having Canada Day celebrations. So pretty wild nonsense. But anyways, we can move

00:04:17.760 on from that. Consider grabbing a shirt, revelnewstore.com, go to the Canada Day collection. Great stuff

00:04:21.900 there. And I do have to say we have, they're on new shirts. They're incredible high quality shirts.

00:04:26.740 They're Bella and canvas. I absolutely love them. I just got one of these new shirts. They're so nice.

00:04:31.500 So consider picking one of those up. Let's get into some of our stories for the day though.

00:04:36.300 And the first one is Canada's population will hit record 40 million on Friday. That's today. So

00:04:42.260 40 million of us now, the agency's population clock. This is a model, a real-time model that

00:04:49.060 uses growth factors such as birth, deaths, migration. And it's predicting by about 3 p.m.

00:04:54.840 we'll be at 40 million people. Lots of ways to go on this, but what do you think about Canada

00:04:59.000 hitting this big milestone? Well, I think a lot of it has to do with the flow of people that are

00:05:04.340 coming. It says here that there's going to be a lot more coming as well. Just going to quickly pull

00:05:09.780 up the article here so I can read it better. So it says Canada continues to lead the G7 in

00:05:16.780 population growth, StatCan says, with the country adding more than 1 million people between January

00:05:23.400 2021 and 2022. Now remember, that's during all the COVID stuff as well, for the most ever in the

00:05:31.940 single year. So that is a huge growth. Last year's annual population growth, a rate of 2.7%

00:05:38.540 is the highest on record since 1957. And based on current projections, StatCan says Canada's population

00:05:47.280 could reach 50 million by 2043. So this is being celebrated as a great example of Canada leading

00:05:57.200 the torch and being the place to come. But meanwhile, Adam, I know you've covered this as well.

00:06:03.420 I don't even think all of our, or I know all of our Indigenous communities still don't have clean 0.99

00:06:07.840 drinking water. Where are many of these people going to go? How are we going to take care of them?

00:06:12.660 That is the question. Well, and you know, the Indigenous, it does mention here as well,

00:06:17.340 the Indigenous community did enjoy quite a bit of growth, actually. But then there are still so many 1.00

00:06:21.660 of those concerns that are not being addressed. As far as where the people are going to go, I do not

00:06:26.700 buy into the sort of overpopulation narrative. You could fit the entire world's population into Texas

00:06:31.660 at roughly the density of New York City. So there's a lot of space out there. I think people coming in,

00:06:36.800 well, I don't have a problem with that. But one of my concerns is that fewer babies are born in

00:06:41.280 Canada's fertility rate hits a record low in 2020. And I think that trend has continued.

00:06:47.800 So we don't actually have a birth rate that's maintaining populations. It's exclusively 0.91

00:06:53.360 effectively from immigration. Now, that's not to say there's anything wrong with that. But if you do 0.99

00:06:57.420 look at countries, once the birth rate starts to plummet, it tends to be a marker of demise.

00:07:02.920 And they tend to then try and overcompensate with mass immigration, as we've seen with Justin Trudeau.

00:07:08.460 And it doesn't always necessarily work. So I think there's plenty of space in Canada

00:07:12.860 for those people who want to come in and sort of embrace the Canadian way of life,

00:07:17.080 start a business, go to school, become contributing members of society. That's all wonderful. But I do

00:07:21.820 think that there is that underlying sort of question of how come Canadians aren't having babies at the

00:07:27.140 same rate they once were? How come we're exclusively relying on that population? So yeah, something to be

00:07:33.580 said there. Fascinating to see so many people, as we said, way into our next story, still wanting to

00:07:39.440 come into this country. As another article says, things are getting worse. Canadians of all stripes 1.00

00:07:44.600 fed up with government line on crime, drugs, every single demographic, a clear majority of respondents

00:07:52.020 to the Canadian justice system is too generous with bail and too lenient on violent criminals.

00:07:57.120 This is something that we have talked about at length. And it should come as no surprise with

00:08:03.720 our Help Not Harm campaign about just drugs effectively being handed out, drug paraphernalia

00:08:10.560 being handed out. Criminals often, very often, it's the same people being arrested over and over and

00:08:16.280 over, immediately released. Police are left in this futile state where they're trying to get drugs off the

00:08:21.340 street. And then the government is putting free drugs back on the street. They're arresting people who are

00:08:25.840 committing crimes and they're immediately being released. This is what we see in some of these

00:08:30.260 cities that have just descended into chaos, tent cities, fentanyl zombies running the streets. It's

00:08:36.740 absolutely wild to see. Now, some provinces, I know you're in BC, it's terrible. Alberta is pushing

00:08:42.960 back. There's a sort of Alberta model. They're reinforcing. What do you make of this as someone who's in

00:08:48.300 probably one of the worst provinces for this type of policing, this type of enforcement, this type of

00:08:53.060 drug management? You know, it's really sad. It seems almost like a smokescreen of sorts, because if

00:08:58.420 you're not really looking at it, or you're not living in these areas, you think that, oh, you know,

00:09:02.720 having these drugs available, perhaps that is doing a good thing. I know a lot of people talk about

00:09:07.520 Amsterdam and say that it worked out there. But the core problem here is it's not addressing the main

00:09:14.380 issue, which a lot of times is co-occurring disorders like mental health, as well as trauma that's

00:09:21.340 happened to people. So you can't, it's a band-aid that isn't correcting what's happening and helping

00:09:27.180 those communities very much. And that's what really concerns me when I look into this. I just

00:09:32.180 want to mention, in case people don't know, great documentaries coming out from Aaron Gunn.

00:09:38.300 Vancouver is dying, was very good, if anybody hasn't watched that yet. And also Canada is dying,

00:09:44.760 and it covers a lot of these issues. I believe he's screening that on Twitter. So it really,

00:09:50.000 really is sobering to look at what's happening. But yeah, I am proud of Alberta. Actually, I was

00:09:58.600 born in Alberta. But no, I'm proud with the plan that you guys have. Correct me if I'm wrong, maybe

00:10:04.620 you can summarize it better for people who are just tuning in. But basically, if someone becomes a

00:10:08.560 harm to themselves, they have to get the help they need. Is that correct? Yeah, effectively. So what

00:10:14.080 can happen, and there is sort of a judicial process, it isn't as though people are simply being snatched

00:10:19.700 up off the street. But if there is a pattern of sort of self-destructive tendencies, if a police

00:10:26.320 officer, a court official, or a member of a family is like, this person is on a self-destructive path.

00:10:32.960 And it's very similar, there's precedent for this. So for mental health crises, there's very similar

00:10:38.780 things. For a number of other sort of situations, there can be court interventions that effectively

00:10:44.440 ensure that these people receive the support they need. And it's funny, some people will characterize

00:10:49.500 this as sort of overstepping or overcontrolling. And to me, this just seems like the polling is clear,

00:10:56.240 Canadians are fed up with this type of approach. The progressive policies tend to be like

00:11:01.920 superficially caring, like, we want to make sure that the drugs are safe and provide this

00:11:06.820 opportunity. But no one would do that to their own family member. No one would do that to someone

00:11:10.860 they love. No one would do that to a friend. Well, that's called enabling.

00:11:13.840 Exactly. So I, for one, am very happy to see the government actually stepping up and looking at human

00:11:19.280 being not as sort of as a demographic or as some way to score virtue points, but actually as a human

00:11:25.760 being who needs care. And I'm actually heading out to the Adolescent Addictions Recovery Centre,

00:11:31.520 with Dr. Vos, who's one of the sort of top doctors on this, on Monday. And I'm going to go through

00:11:36.700 their facility. But they've created 10,000 new beds, the UCP. They've reduced the $40 a day fee

00:11:42.720 that was there before. So legitimately, you could get free drugs. But if you wanted to go into recovery,

00:11:47.560 it cost you $40 a day. That's what was happening before the UCP changed this. So it's absolutely...

00:11:52.140 Isn't that horrible?

00:11:53.040 It's horrible. And it's wild to see. So some sanity returning, people pushing back realistically,

00:11:59.060 as we can see by the numbers. Most Canadians aren't in support of this. This is ideologues and

00:12:04.340 disconnected academics pushing these ideologies. So Canadians, I don't think, are buying in.

00:12:10.540 Canadians really tend to look out for each other. Like anytime there's something going really bad,

00:12:14.780 whether it's the fires we've seen, flooding, whatever it may be, they tend to bandage.

00:12:18.380 And I think that the current drug situation is one of those crises, and you could probably testify to

00:12:24.920 this, where it's getting to the point where it is a cultural sort of broad spanning crises that

00:12:31.160 Canadians are rallying together around. Yeah, it's not uncommon, especially in Vancouver. If you work

00:12:37.060 there, you travel there lots to see somebody overdose and be Narcan back. We have Narcan kits in

00:12:42.320 our house. I took the training. You know, I was in healthcare. But the point is, there are people

00:12:48.360 who are doing this cycle over and over, you know, it's almost like the prison system going in and

00:12:53.400 going out, going in and going out. There needs to be the other avenue and focus on help. So

00:12:58.100 absolutely. Yeah, good to see some positive things being done. On that note, we're going to jump to a

00:13:03.820 very quick ad break, and then we're going to come back and we're going to talk about China.

00:13:06.640 China.

00:13:06.700 China.

00:13:18.360 Progressives across this country are going out of their way to erase Canada's national identity,

00:13:25.420 whether it's canceling fireworks or canceling Canada Day altogether. If there's one thing that these

00:13:31.200 folks hate, it's patriotism. So why not support our independent journalism and stick it to the

00:13:36.500 progressives who would love to cancel Canada Day by going to rebelnewsstore.com and purchasing some of

00:13:41.600 our incredible Canada Day theme gear like this shirt I'm wearing right now. Again, you'll be supporting

00:13:46.940 our important work, and you'll be sticking up for Canada's national identity, rejecting

00:13:51.140 progressive cancel culture, and saying no, we are indeed Canadian. Again, go to rebelnewsstore.com.

00:14:16.940 One of the other events that I did want to talk about coming up here really quick, we may have

00:14:22.540 an ad for it later, is a Canadians for Truth event this weekend right here in Calgary. I believe tickets

00:14:28.880 are still available, and Sarah Palin is coming to Calgary. If you haven't been to a Canadians for

00:14:34.580 Truth event, the Fire and Ice show, you have two Canadian legends, Olympic gold medalist, Stanley Cup

00:14:39.940 champion, Thuron Fleury, as well as Canadian Olympian figure skater, Jamie Saleh. It's almost like a talk

00:14:46.400 show, except it's not superficial. They're actually tackling tough issues, getting into these topics,

00:14:52.040 and to have someone like Sarah Palin, who not only vice presidential candidate, not only a governor, 1.00

00:14:56.860 but a sort of celebrity in her own right. She's had TV shows, she's had all that. A very interesting

00:15:02.660 person. She's had some very interesting comments lately. I saw her on Newsmax the other day. She's

00:15:07.040 been on Twitter talking about Trump and some of what's happening down there. So I am so looking forward

00:15:11.540 to this event. I am going to sit down and have an interview with her as well, so I'm very much

00:15:15.160 looking forward to that. But I'm hoping to see you. I'll be there on Sunday night doing a report

00:15:19.240 on the event that everyone is welcome to. I believe it's at the Grey Eagle Resort and Casino. All that

00:15:23.380 information can be found at Canadians for Truth. So make sure to check that out, canadiansfortruth.ca.

00:15:28.960 Grab your tickets. I look forward to seeing you there. I'm excited to check out this event.

00:15:33.500 I said we'd talk about China now, so let's talk about China, specifically the Asian Infrastructure

00:15:39.420 Bank. And if we have it ready, we can just jump to the video of Andrew Scheer. I love

00:15:43.680 this irreverent Andrew Scheer. I wish he would have been around a little bit more when he

00:15:47.060 was the leader. Yeah, where was he?

00:15:48.820 We saw it during the run-up to the leadership, and then when he became leader, it got kind

00:15:52.600 of dry, and now he's back to being sassy Andrew Scheer. So let's jump to this video of

00:15:57.140 Andrew Scheer.

00:15:58.700 Mr. Speaker, the Liberal appointed board member on the Asian Infrastructure Bank just resigned,

00:16:03.640 calling it a cesspool and saying that it was controlled by, quote,

00:16:07.240 the Communist Party crowd who operate like a secret police. Who could have seen this

00:16:12.640 coming? Who could have predicted that a bank structured to give Beijing effective control

00:16:18.200 would use the bank to expand the power and influence of the communist regime in Beijing?

00:16:22.680 Who could have possibly seen that coming? Conservatives, that's who. We warned these

00:16:27.300 Liberals not to put tax dollars into the scam of a bank, so when are they getting our money

00:16:31.580 back?

00:16:31.840 Mr. Speaker, as the Deputy Prime Minister said yesterday, and as I said in this House yesterday,

00:16:37.240 related to this matter, the Government of Canada will immediately halt all government-led

00:16:41.180 activity at the bank, and she has instructed the Department of Finance to lead an immediate

00:16:46.280 review of the allegations raised and of Canada's involvement at the AIIB. The Canadian Government

00:16:51.920 will also be discussing this issue with our allies and partners who are members of the

00:16:55.460 bank. The review is to be undertaken expeditiously. No outcome is being ruled out following this

00:17:00.440 investigation.

00:17:01.320 Mr. Speaker, nobody likes an I told you so, except for everyone who told you so.

00:17:06.120 It wasn't just conservatives. It was our major security partners like Japan and the United

00:17:10.620 States and foreign affairs experts who all said the same thing, that the communist regime

00:17:14.480 would use the bank to bully developing countries and expand its power and influence. This bank

00:17:20.180 built railways and ports with taxpayers' dollars, while Canadians here at home are struggling

00:17:25.960 just to pay the bills. So now that the con has been exposed, will they do the right thing

00:17:31.380 and get Canadians their tax dollars back?

00:17:33.880 Mr. Speaker, same question, same answer, as we said yesterday in this House. And as the Deputy

00:17:39.760 Prime Minister has been very clear, we have ceased all government-led activities with the AIIB.

00:17:45.380 We have asked Finance to conduct an immediate investigation into the activities of the bank.

00:17:51.700 This investigation is to be undertaken expeditiously, and no outcome is being ruled out

00:17:57.080 from the Ahsoka.

00:18:00.040 And it wasn't just Andrew Scheer, Tom Kimmich. We can just even pull the tweet up years ago,

00:18:05.120 making clear that this is problematic. He said, I warned the federal liberals at Finance

00:18:11.580 Committee years ago that joining the AIIB was furthering the foreign policy interests of

00:18:15.840 Beijing communists. There you go. This is yet more proof that conservatives had it right years ago 0.98

00:18:21.520 in opposing joining the AIIB. Drea, just how symptomatic is this? And we'll talk about sort

00:18:30.040 of the commitments to cease activities. But it just seems every two weeks, there's some new absurd

00:18:36.320 connection between Trudeau's government and communist-influenced Chinese connections. What

00:18:41.240 do you think?

00:18:42.360 It's insane. You're right. It's like birthing pains is getting more and more because it used to pop up,

00:18:47.620 you know, a couple of times a year. But you're right, it's every two weeks. And I think we're

00:18:52.020 just scratching the surface because I think so much, there's been so much getting away with in

00:18:57.580 this area. There needs to be investigations on any sign of anything that smells like interference at

00:19:04.640 this point. And I'm even going to take it back to the school system, too, with the, you know,

00:19:09.520 Confucius Institutes. We've done some reports on that as well. But I'm just saying the influence is so

00:19:14.500 broad and in so many areas that we really need to tackle. Like Andrew Scheer said, we told you so.

00:19:23.500 So now it's time to act and we got to figure it out. But I think it's been benefiting, you know,

00:19:29.760 the people on the throne a little bit too much. And now they're just sort of reacting

00:19:33.400 and to everything that gets exposed on that day.

00:19:37.840 Well, I think that they really just think Canadians aren't going to look into us and they're going to

00:19:42.000 get away with us. I remember a couple of years ago, it was like, oh, like a billion dollars missing on

00:19:45.760 infrastructure projects. Like that's not normal. Governments used to fall on like $80,000

00:19:50.620 spending scandals. Now, McKenna is like, oh, we can't find this billion dollars. The other thing

00:19:56.220 that's incredibly interesting here is I actually have an interview coming up with Marco Navarro,

00:20:00.700 Janie of the Haltain Research Institute. And he breaks down, you can go back to the national defense

00:20:06.700 threat. That was the truckers and how quickly the government mobilized against them while Chinese 1.00

00:20:11.980 police stations were operating here. There was donations coming en masse from a Chinese community

00:20:17.600 within B.C. to the Montreal Constituency Office of Justin Trudeau. Election interference.

00:20:22.980 Election interference. It goes on and on and on. They are so intimately married to them.

00:20:27.700 And then it always seems to be like someone, oh, we're going to have David Johnson, a Trudeau board

00:20:32.180 member and a longtime member, a friend of the Trudeau family. He's going to look into it.

00:20:35.700 The other thing that I found interesting, too, here, and I don't know if there's some sort of

00:20:39.760 one sort of governor's appointed from each country and attends review from the government. There could

00:20:44.120 be nothing to this. But if you go to the AIIB board of governors, you can find Christia Freeland's

00:20:49.380 name there. So that you think these people have enough jobs. She's she's on the board for the World 0.95

00:20:56.300 Economic Forum. She's apparently on the board, according to their website for the AIIB. You'd think as

00:21:02.040 deputy prime minister, there'd be enough to do. But it seems that the enough to do is

00:21:05.840 basically placating and accommodating the absurd wants and demands of the Chinese government.

00:21:13.020 Exactly. Like, when is she finding time to do her job that we all pay her to do? And that's

00:21:18.440 yeah, we should definitely dig into that further. But it's not surprising to me at all to see

00:21:22.840 Freeland is on there. Good catch.

00:21:24.800 Yeah. Yeah. I how can this be? And how are there still we're going to talk later on towards the end

00:21:31.920 about how Canadians want a new prime minister. But how can it be that people are still going along

00:21:38.620 with this? People are willing to turn a blind eye. They're willing to pretend the conservatives are

00:21:43.800 supervillains when this stuff is going on. We're talking about a Chinese regime that is one of the

00:21:48.940 biggest human rights violators. And then it goes beyond that. These people, all they talk about is

00:21:54.020 the climate and human rights and gay rights and all this other stuff. All their business, 1.00

00:22:01.520 everything they do accommodates a regime that is completely opposed to all of those things.

00:22:06.980 Canada's pollution contribution is borderline negative with the amount of trees we have.

00:22:11.840 If our entire population disappeared, nothing would change. Meanwhile, you look at countries like

00:22:16.560 China, India that are the mass producers. Like every time we shut down a coal factory,

00:22:22.060 they make eight of them and they have kids working in them. It's surreal. And there's such a disconnect.

00:22:28.720 There is. And when you ask, like, how is this happening? My theory on that has a lot to where

00:22:33.820 to do with where people get their information from. So you have a lot of people that don't follow the

00:22:38.640 news, number one. But it's kind of like that marketing where they say the average person has

00:22:43.780 to see something seven times before they want to buy it. So when a scandal like this happens,

00:22:48.320 it's sort of contained in the for those who read the news and whatever the state preferred media will

00:22:55.700 cover of it. But then everything else is drowned it out. Like you said, the green agenda or whatever,

00:23:01.580 they hear that seven times over and over, whether they're just scrolling on social media,

00:23:06.220 it pops up in all these different ways. So it's that the truth and the concerns over this issue just

00:23:10.920 get drownded out by messaging of the actual agenda.

00:23:16.920 And it's intentionally so. And I think the government is more than well aware of this

00:23:22.120 with their efforts to exclude real journalists from asking questions,

00:23:26.180 with their efforts to control media, to fund only outlets that are friendly and exclude anyone who

00:23:31.480 dares ask questions. We're going to talk a little bit about the media and the attacks on the media

00:23:36.080 later, as well as efforts to sort of deal with Facebook, social media censoring, all that.

00:23:41.400 These are all topics that are going to be coming up. But I think you definitely hit the nail on the

00:23:46.240 head there. It's if people aren't aware of this, and if the sources of media that they trust, some

00:23:51.220 people still rely entirely on turning on a TV to get their news source. And you're going to get a very

00:23:56.500 homogenized, unified message there that doesn't change. You're also going to get sort of very,

00:24:02.080 the amount of times I've been at press events where there's some sort of big announcement,

00:24:05.340 or there's something very pressing. And there's a very generic question about climate change that

00:24:10.660 is clearly, it's not journalism. It isn't the people in the moment sort of gauging the nature,

00:24:16.500 particularly during the UCP and NDP, the recent election. You would sort of gauge what the

00:24:22.280 announcement was about, and you'd ask a relevant question. It is so apparent from these mainstream

00:24:26.260 outlets that they're told what the question is going to be in advance, and that it's very canned.

00:24:31.420 It's, it's, oh, the eastern slopes, or it's the, whatever it may be, there's some sort of

00:24:36.700 environmental angle on everything. And these aren't the issues that, that average Canadians

00:24:41.440 care all that much about. They're issues that the Trudeau government and that the bosses at some of

00:24:47.240 these big media outlets are pushing. So yeah, that's, it's, it's, it's something else.

00:24:52.900 Horrible. I mean, when you actually get into the media pit, if they'll actually let you in. I've

00:24:58.360 experienced things like, I had Trudeau's security detail come up and ask me when he was in Coquitlam

00:25:05.220 out here, if I'm going to be asking a hard question. We put the audio of that in the report. It's like,

00:25:11.640 aren't you supposed to be making sure no one's going to assassinate, you know, our prime minister

00:25:16.380 you're coming over. Your main concern is what type of question I'm going to ask. And of course I said,

00:25:22.420 well, I'm going to ask a question that the people want to hear. And then there's all this, you know,

00:25:27.460 even when you're there, they have it all organized on who's going to go out. There's no way you're

00:25:31.740 going to get to the mic. And if you do, they're just going to hit the button, which has happened

00:25:34.620 before as well. They're just going to mute you. So.

00:25:37.540 Well, I remember when Pope Francis was visiting, there was no issue. And like, we'd go up to events and

00:25:43.380 there were certain people allowed to enter certain areas. So we'd go and say, oh, we don't have

00:25:47.700 approval for this event, but we have approval for this event. Where would we be allowed to go?

00:25:51.300 And all the indigenous people knew us. So they'd be like, no, no, no, you're coming in. And they'd

00:25:54.920 like bring us to the sort of main media area. And I'm like, are you sure we're going to be here?

00:25:58.640 They're like, yeah, yeah, no problem. We had no issues whatsoever. And then Justin Trudeau's

00:26:02.920 handler, Terry, saw me. And then all of a sudden I get a call from the organizers and there's a whole

00:26:08.600 thing. Like, I was like, literally the local indigenous people escorted me here and told me to be

00:26:13.200 here. And then Terry's little handler, the government, Trudeau's sort of media handler

00:26:18.220 calls. And all of a sudden there's all these calls and interventions. It is absolutely wild to see what

00:26:23.560 is going on in this country. The other thing, and I was talking to a couple of journalists about this

00:26:27.040 the other day, though, but even if we look back to the provincial election here, sort of one of the

00:26:31.980 key issues with Jason Kenney was his commitment that there would not be a vaccine passport, that it was

00:26:38.640 made illegal and it's completely impossible. He made that promise to me. And then he brought back

00:26:43.820 the restriction exemption sort of program, which was a vaccine passport, right after telling me he

00:26:48.800 would absolutely not do that. And that was not going to happen. That became one of the key issues.

00:26:52.880 And I suspect it's one of the key reasons that made national headlines. It was sort of the top

00:26:56.720 headline in every newspaper. That was one of the key issues during that election or during that sort of

00:27:03.180 leadership review. Then we come to the UCP's most recent election. I'm the one who asked the question

00:27:09.840 to Danielle Smith about immunity and exemption for people who had been prosecuted under COVID-19

00:27:15.960 restrictions. That became one of the key issues during this sort of leadership process that people

00:27:21.640 were discussing. My question is, there's lots of other media outlets that get to every single one of

00:27:26.420 these events. Yeah. And they're not asking questions that are relevant. You don't even hear the

00:27:31.940 questions again that they're asking because they're not really seeking truth. They're not following the

00:27:37.220 truth wherever it leads. And I think, frankly, the NDP, the reason they didn't want us there,

00:27:41.980 they didn't want us asking questions, is because we probably would have found out some truths that they

00:27:47.160 didn't want getting out. That's ultimately all we do. Well, let me know if this has happened to you.

00:27:52.360 It's happened to me. And I notice it's happening more frequently. I mean, not every week, but, you know,

00:27:57.280 maybe once every couple of months, where a journalist from another outlet, and of course,

00:28:02.260 I won't out them, because this is a good relationship, it gets stories to you, is actually

00:28:06.520 sort of telling me stories. Like, did you see this? And it's because they can't report on it. But they

00:28:12.840 know a rebel news reporter will do it. So that's happening to me more frequently. And it's a good

00:28:17.360 relationship to have. But I feel so sorry for them that they're so stifled. And of course, the public

00:28:22.760 that's watching state preferred media, most of them just think that they are neutral, that they

00:28:27.840 are telling you both sides of the story, that that's their goal. They kind of just trust how

00:28:32.980 news is always supposed to be. And they, of course, don't follow the money or anything like that. So

00:28:38.240 it's very concerning. But I would hate to be in that position of not being able to report on an

00:28:43.980 important story, because it doesn't fit, you know, the cabal at the outlet.

00:28:48.960 Oh, absolutely. The amount of times, especially lately, because you'd see every day during this

00:28:55.920 campaign, I'd go up and ask a good question. You'd even hear like people murmuring, like,

00:29:00.000 oh, get this, or Rick Bell would lean in with his recorder and turn it on, because he's like,

00:29:03.880 there's probably going to be something here. But lots of the people who perhaps like sort of the

00:29:08.480 on screen talent at some of these main networks, who perhaps in the past were a little bit dismissive

00:29:12.980 or condescending, would come up and I don't even necessarily know their names, but they'd come up and

00:29:17.320 say, hey, Adam, how's it going? Man, that was crazy what happened at that NDP event.

00:29:21.380 Or they'd talk to me about a story we did. So I think that the tide is turning. I think very much

00:29:28.360 so. They very much, it is the hand that feeds and Justin Trudeau is probably leaning towards the end.

00:29:35.100 The NDP hasn't won. And I think some of these people were cluing into that. So they're very much

00:29:40.000 sort of spirit of the age. They sense the tide turns. They're going with it. But frankly,

00:29:44.200 welcome to the team. I don't care if you're joining, for whatever reason you're joining,

00:29:48.700 if you're coming over to the light and doing some real journalism, asking some tough questions.

00:29:52.380 Well, that's what this country needs.

00:29:55.240 I don't think BC is anywhere near where you guys are. I mean, the issues you raised,

00:29:59.940 we had the same lies happen out here. You know, it wasn't exactly a politician,

00:30:04.400 the political doctor, Bonnie Henry saying, we'll never do vaccine mandates. You know,

00:30:08.280 that would be so divisive. But you know, you had the politicians supporting her,

00:30:12.100 of course, the premier at the time, Horgan, as well as the health minister, Dix. Nobody brings up

00:30:17.620 those issues at, you know, elections. No, most of the people in British Columbia have no clue that

00:30:24.800 there is still a blanket mandate preventing thousands of healthcare workers from saving lives,

00:30:31.240 simply because they didn't get the jab. And they don't know. I even did a streeter when I went

00:30:36.980 down outside of premier David Evie's office when people were trying to have his MLA seat recalled.

00:30:44.260 And I just asked people walking on the streets, they had no clue. And the only ones who had clues

00:30:49.240 were the ones who had lost a healthcare worker. They're like, yeah, I know that because I don't

00:30:53.500 have my doctor or my doctor doesn't work in this area anymore. Or, you know, that was the only time.

00:30:59.820 So it's not quite an issue out here, unfortunately, like it is there. But I think the tide will,

00:31:06.400 will continue to start to change. You guys can lead the way.

00:31:11.540 That's a perfect transition. I do want to talk about another healthcare related story.

00:31:14.980 But I think before we do that, we're going to jump to one more ad break. And then we'll get back to it

00:31:19.000 with one of the ways that Alberta is leading the way on the healthcare front. So but we'll jump to a

00:31:25.040 commercial first. Canadians for Truth proudly presents An Evening with Sarah Palin. Get ready

00:31:31.360 for an incredible evening, Sunday, June 18, 2023. Former Alaska Governor and Vice Presidential

00:31:38.040 Candidate Sarah Palin's remarkable journey and steadfast dedication to speaking up when it's easier

00:31:49.200 hosted by Olympians Theo Fleury and Jamie Soleil and promises to provide valuable insights,

00:31:54.280 inspiration, and entertainment. The show starts at 7pm at the Grey Eagle Event Centre in Calgary,

00:32:01.760 Alberta. But act now because tickets for this will not last.

00:32:52.360 Speaking of putting wellness back in the driver's seat, some good news coming out of Alberta.

00:32:56.720 Continuous mask mandate to be lifted in Alberta hospitals. Effectively, nurse union leaders have

00:33:03.320 said that they're very welcome to this change. People are experiencing mask fatigue. I remember the

00:33:08.660 odd time I had to wear a mask, whether it be like on a flight or something. It was just brutal. I mean,

00:33:14.320 I don't mean to whine, whatever. People go through worse things, but I can't imagine working in like a 1.00

00:33:18.840 high-pressure nursing scenario, running around, having this mask off at all times. Great to see

00:33:24.300 this perhaps Daniel Smith motivated, but certainly Alberta Health Services led announcement that the

00:33:31.160 masking requirement for staff, patients, and visitors at hospitals and contracted sites will be

00:33:37.300 dropped on Monday. This is one of the last remaining COVID-19 restrictions in place. So it's great to

00:33:44.880 see us returning towards some semblance of normalcy dropping that. When do you think this is going to

00:33:51.260 happen in BC? Well, here's the thing. I'm going to eat my words a little bit here because I guess you

00:33:56.420 guys are not leading the torch. Surprisingly, for those who don't know, BC actually dropped their

00:34:01.480 mask mandate in hospitals actually in April. So I think I just shared in the thread a link

00:34:07.200 to that. So I don't know. It's so weird that we're ahead of you guys in this one area.

00:34:12.080 We dropped our mask mandate towards the beginning of April as well. And we also finally made it so

00:34:19.460 that if you were not vaccinated, you could go visit a family member who's in hospital. I believe

00:34:24.620 there's still restrictions for the mask though in long-term care settings. And there were some people

00:34:30.540 pushing back when this happened saying it's a human rights violation to let people in without a mask and

00:34:36.440 things like that. I mean, they're the same people saying that they're going and shopping in their

00:34:39.900 groceries and going on vacation. I see people wearing masks sometimes on my Facebook friend list

00:34:46.200 in their pictures or just like in their videos and then they'll go on vacation and they're not wearing

00:34:50.800 a mask like COVID isn't over there. It's such nonsense. But yeah, surprisingly, although you still 0.56

00:34:57.840 need a vaccine to work in a hospital, you don't need to wear a mask or have a vaccine to go visit

00:35:03.380 people in BC since April. I'm surprised to see that. It almost seems like they're looking

00:35:08.120 at some science-based evidence. Now, is it true? Is it still every three or six months doctors have

00:35:13.220 to get boosters in order to keep working in healthcare? No, they, at least in BC, they never

00:35:20.320 mandated the third jab. They just strongly recommend and pressure you and indoctrinate you

00:35:26.860 and operate on every corner. But yeah, you're not forced.

00:35:31.900 Well, I am surprised to see that. You know, I find this a bit of an aside, but I find it so

00:35:37.580 interesting. Like there's even the long COVID sort of chronic respiratory care clinics set up now,

00:35:43.480 and they seem to do very little to help people. It seems from a bunch of medical professionals

00:35:48.520 that I've talked to that there isn't much help for them. But some of the sort of naturopathic

00:35:53.040 options that are out there, and I've talked about this before, there's like nebulized glutathione,

00:35:57.420 there's some other options that they're, again, not a medical professional, so not providing medical

00:36:01.180 advice. But there's alternatives out there that are very safe, proven, effective. And they just don't,

00:36:08.640 it's like it's the Invermectin thing all over again. But they don't, there's questions about

00:36:13.140 efficacy there, but they don't seem to want to allow any alternatives outside of their sort of box

00:36:19.940 thinking, even when their box thinking clearly doesn't seem to be working. It's bizarre. And

00:36:26.540 it's the trust the science crowd that's not willing to look at recent research or, or, or trust the

00:36:30.820 science, something else. Remember when the left was the one advocating for like alternatives and

00:36:35.740 treatment and naturopathy and all this stuff? That was like one of the good things about the left.

00:36:40.320 And we've talked about this before. Now it seems like all those lefties have become right wingers

00:36:44.860 because they've been completely cast aside. It's funny, I remember freedom protests, it would be

00:36:50.420 like a bunch of typical conservative seat Muslim, Christian, whatever, but conservatives. And then

00:36:55.800 there'd be like a little pack of like hippies kind of like, yeah, adjacent to them, like, we're more like

00:37:01.180 you. Yeah, the hippies are like far right conservatives. Now it's the funniest thing, you know, and like you're

00:37:07.760 saying at protests that we've covered or something, you see like the bare feet people. But that's the sign

00:37:13.740 that we're on track with which one's actually fighting for freedom. And yeah, it's such a red 0.67

00:37:18.120 flag when you see them, when they don't want to promote anything, even vitamin D with the COVID

00:37:24.500 stuff, vitamin D wasn't promoted. That was one of the most simple things everybody could have done.

00:37:31.420 And I always think of when they were saying, Oh, you know, you got to get the job, especially if

00:37:35.760 you're in the black community, or especially in your, in the indigenous community, there were so many

00:37:41.100 sites, or sorry, so many studies showing that the more, if you were vitamin D deficient, then you have 0.72

00:37:48.220 were more likely to be hospitalized with COVID. And so I thought, you know, black people, indigenous

00:37:53.360 people, we are more likely to be vitamin D deficient. And so you're not even telling us the most simple

00:37:58.840 thing we can do, in addition to going, not even going and getting a vaccine, they wanted us to wait for the

00:38:04.660 vaccine, they didn't even have it ready yet. And they were already doing that instead of also just saying,

00:38:09.180 And by the way, next time you're in the grower's trees, make sure you buy the vitamin D. That's like such a

00:38:14.300 huge red flag there. It doesn't make a beat about ivermectin, because it's already cheap, it's already

00:38:19.760 available. And, or vitamin D.

00:38:23.460 Yeah, well, and vitamin D, like for if there's any questions about efficacy with ivermectin, which there is,

00:38:29.180 there seems to be some some sort of evidence that there are benefits, but it's not like a clear cut

00:38:35.220 slam dunk, here's a win. Conversely, vitamin D is absolutely like we're generally a vitamin D

00:38:41.220 deficient society. And it's extremely safe, extremely affordable, readily available. You can

00:38:48.140 just go grab this. The other thing that they didn't talk about, because apparently it's it's it's a great

00:38:53.280 blaspheme to question people's health, but the risk of hospitalization, if you were obese, or

00:39:00.100 generally unhealthy, was much higher. So literally, the best advice and the most self evident advice

00:39:05.060 possible would have been take vitamin D and go exercise, which are both things that aren't only

00:39:11.880 good for you, if you're talking about something like COVID-19, but they're good for you, period.

00:39:16.680 Yeah, they didn't want to talk about that. That was the type of thing that would

00:39:19.680 get your band off of Facebook. Yeah, one quick thing, our top doctors, you know, out here, Dr.

00:39:27.660 Henry, making close to 400,000, they wouldn't tell people to exercise and do vitamin D. And also,

00:39:34.320 I don't know if you've seen this push to sort of glamorize being obese. I'm getting a little off

00:39:39.820 topic, but that seems to be happening. And it reminds me again of the hippie comment, because they want to

00:39:44.640 eat healthy and eat right. And you know, oh, no, no, you have to embrace obesity. Now, that is the

00:39:50.320 in thing. That's diversity. That's the way to go. Yeah. Well, and it's so funny, even the folks that

00:39:56.160 like Joseph would go over at Canadians for Truth when he was running for office, one of the things

00:40:00.340 that he was proposing was, it would almost sound and this is what most people would categorize as

00:40:05.120 like sort of a God believing, right wing ish, sort of political entity. Well, lots of what he was

00:40:11.920 talking about was eating healthy, organic food, getting off the sort of pharma cycle,

00:40:16.340 moving back towards healthy things that a couple of years ago would have seemed awfully hippie-ish,

00:40:20.160 but now it's conservative saying maybe we should just eat fresh local farm food and get back in shape.

00:40:26.260 Yeah, exactly. Something else to see. So, but like I was saying that, that posting anything like this

00:40:31.640 for the longest time, even now, potentially could get you banned off of Facebook. And we want to talk

00:40:36.680 about this. And there is some new information coming out that may change this a little bit,

00:40:41.400 but Daniel Smith took to social media to point out that she'd received a temporary censorship on

00:40:48.760 Facebook by Meta. So the new sort of development on this, if this is true, it's troubling. She said

00:40:56.260 something to be effective for a premier of a province of 4.3 million to be banned. There we go. We can just

00:41:02.840 read a big tech and government censorship as being a danger to free speech around the world. My Facebook

00:41:07.000 account has been banned from posting content for a few days as the premier of a province of 4.6 million

00:41:12.040 Albertans. If they can prevent me from communicating with you, imagine what they can do to any one of

00:41:16.820 us, regardless of our political leanings. We must all stand against censorship. So shocking,

00:41:23.360 troubling to see. What Meta has said in response to this though, is that effectively she wasn't banned,

00:41:30.440 but one of the content sort of moderators, as you know, on Facebook, if you have a public page,

00:41:35.900 you're going to point people to post. What they're saying is one of the other people had a strike on

00:41:40.560 their account. And when they went to post, they were being restricted, but she could have posted the

00:41:46.480 whole time. Now that's assuming you can leave Meta entirely, but I could easily see a content manager

00:41:51.820 going, oh, I was banned on my page. I'm going to log over to here. So it'll be interesting to see. I

00:41:56.440 don't know if they're going to reply. Maybe this was a bit of a fumble on their part. And they're

00:42:00.360 like, why can't we post? There's a strike against the page. Meta is saying it would have been against

00:42:04.320 that specific account. But regardless, politicians, I saw a video on Twitter the other day. We won't

00:42:11.160 be able to pull it up. It was just a random shot, but you can literally see like a, like terrorist

00:42:16.580 organizations still have access to Facebook where Twitter, Trump, Trump, Trump was banned. And one of the

00:42:24.120 sort of millennials in this little video clips say like, well, did the Taliban violate the terms

00:42:30.580 of community guidelines? As though that's the principal concern.

00:42:34.940 It's so ridiculous. And actually I got banned for a very long time. I can't remember how long 0.55

00:42:39.740 for re not retweeting because it was on Facebook, but taking a screenshot of what Trump, when he was

00:42:46.460 basically saying like, let's keep things peaceful on January 6th. And I put that on. That's all I

00:42:51.920 was just with the photo of it. And they banned me, I think with two weeks for a month. And another

00:42:57.920 thing, I guess that makes sense. I could see that happening where it's the actual poster who had the

00:43:03.000 strike and got banned. And especially if that's, who's predominantly doing her posts, then it would 0.99

00:43:08.380 make sense that they thought their whole page was limited, but you know, Facebook should explain that

00:43:13.780 better. But I had a page that I was sort of, you know, ranting. It was before I was with rebel,

00:43:19.760 but right after the COVID stuff. And I was like finding all this stuff right from like sources

00:43:23.920 like CDC and the NCI. And, um, they, I, they locked me out of my page forever. So I just can't get in

00:43:32.560 it because I didn't have any, you know, other people helping me with the page. They just banned

00:43:37.580 me from the page and it sits there. And then many people thought I just stopped posting, but really

00:43:42.120 it was like, no, I'm just not unlocked out of my account. It's so bad. Like they are just so,

00:43:47.220 oh, the censorship is so bad. And one other thing that popped up that in case you guys don't know

00:43:52.540 is this reminds me of our Twitter lawsuit that's happening. I think it's, uh, the URL is at

00:43:58.520 twitterlawsuit.com, I believe. But, um, our chief commander, Ezra Levant was recently in court

00:44:04.860 a few days ago. And that is because Steven, I can never say his name, Google, right. He's blocking.

00:44:13.980 So elected officials blocked rebel news. And so that's another issue actually comment. We haven't

00:44:20.580 had a live chat yet. So if you want to comment and weigh in on what you think of that on rumble or

00:44:25.640 odyssey, but this is just another example you have, you know, big tech has the ability to kind of shut

00:44:31.440 you out, but also rebel news, I think we're the largest independent media outlet in Canada and you

00:44:37.300 can have elected officials in Canada say, no, I'm going to give everybody else, uh, the information

00:44:42.560 that taxpayers want to know and need to know except for you guys. So yeah, let's jump to this video

00:44:51.140 talking about, uh, uh, while, while Canadian officials are blocking us and making sure we

00:44:56.360 through the CRTC don't get access to all the same content Americans get, um, Trudeau is taking a bold

00:45:01.880 stand and saying we won't be bullied by Meta. So let's watch this clip of Trudeau here.

00:45:06.700 On, um, the internet giants, we've seen, uh, Facebook and other countries post, oh, other companies post

00:45:14.440 record profits, uh, over the past years, at the same time as local independent journalism has struggled

00:45:22.780 in terms of getting news out to people, uh, in recent matter locally. Um, now, uh, Facebook is choosing to

00:45:32.320 block Canadians access to local news instead of paying their fair share. That's unacceptable.

00:45:39.900 Canadians need to be able to access news. Uh, it's fundamental to our democracy. We're not going

00:45:45.380 to put up with Facebook's bullying. This guy just says like the opposite of everything he does. Like,

00:45:51.780 oh yeah. Oh, I know. Thanks to this new policy from Justin Trudeau. Rebel News is getting lots of

00:45:57.040 money from the government. I really appreciate it. No, we're not, by the way. It's ridiculous.

00:46:01.060 This is just the latest effort to prop up his allies and force outlets, like forcing a private 0.78

00:46:07.680 company that is sharing. And every other company we managed to survive on the open market by providing

00:46:14.020 something of value. Justin Trudeau wants to legislate more forced money for his allies who

00:46:19.060 are going to push his propaganda. Um, the bully here is the federal government. It's not Meta. So it's,

00:46:24.680 it's wild to see. Yeah. You're right. It's so confusing. It's like, it's like when he started

00:46:30.960 talking about standing for, um, you know, freedom of expression and stuff after what happened at the

00:46:36.360 trucker convoy, you're like, what is going on? And that's why he had such a tough time going out to

00:46:41.300 Europe in their parliament. That's where it was actually. He was telling them about democracy and

00:46:45.860 stuff like that. But I'm so confused because there's the, the C11 online censorship bill. And I

00:46:52.160 believe, correct me if I'm wrong, but Facebook sort of pushed back against that. And now you have him

00:46:57.220 doing this. Like it's, it's, it's very confusing to keep up with, but if his lips are moving, uh, you

00:47:03.160 know, I don't, uh, weigh too much into it. No. And that's a sentiment that is being shared. We've got

00:47:09.480 another video here. Uh, 81% of Canadians want a new prime minister. Um, he's always saying that he's

00:47:15.840 going to support, uh, Canadians. Well, that doesn't seem to be the case with 81%. My question here is,

00:47:22.420 is what are the other 19% thinking? How can people still support this guy?

00:47:29.040 I have some family members in the 19%. I'm ashamed to say, but I just want to let you know,

00:47:35.120 if you have little kiddies in the room, there may be some foul language in this video we're about to

00:47:40.600 show. Mr. Trudeau, 81% of Canadians now say they would like a new prime minister. You're always saying

00:47:46.900 you'll support Canadians. Will you support them? Yes. How about an investigation? How 0.75

00:47:54.020 about, how about, how about an open inquiry into election interference? Let the chips fall

00:47:59.780 where they may. What do you think about, you've called us all far right. What do you think? What

00:48:06.020 do you think now about Muslim families standing with Christians and Jews to fight back about

00:48:10.900 your gender ideology being pushed in school? Yeah. There were some good questions in there,

00:48:18.020 but I have to start with something that probably shouldn't matter as much as it does to me, but

00:48:21.860 what is with the jacket hole? Like what is he modeling on the way into there? He's so annoying.

00:48:29.780 Who walks like that? Who walks like that? I don't know. I don't know. I didn't even process that,

00:48:36.180 but that is so. I know. It's all so artificial. It's wild to see. Yeah. Jeez.

00:48:43.780 Yeah. A lot of good questions there. You know what's wild though is 81% of people want a new

00:48:47.940 prime minister, but the way that sort of the seats are distributed to the constituencies,

00:48:52.820 it might not matter and this guy might get reelected despite being wildly unpopular. And it's,

00:48:59.220 it's, it's crazy to see, like we just had an election here, obviously. Daniel Smith won the popular

00:49:04.580 vote and obviously being effectively outcome wise, a bipartisan province. The other parties aren't

00:49:10.420 really factoring in a majority of the seats as well. And, and the media would have had you believe

00:49:15.060 that the NDP won this thing. Meanwhile, 81% of Canadians are opposed. The conservatives won the

00:49:21.140 last popular vote. None of that seems to matter. This guy's buddy, number one, and no one's willing to

00:49:26.020 ask him tough questions. It literally comes down to with whether it be the NDP or the liberals,

00:49:31.620 excluding people from events, uh, being the bullies who ban people from asking real questions.

00:49:36.740 It just boils down to chasing this guy on the street and asking him questions and then

00:49:40.340 him smugly carrying his jacket and proving the point of the type of person that he is.

00:49:46.260 One of the questions there that he touched on is something I want to talk about after an ad break.

00:49:50.660 But before that, um, I want to talk a little bit about, uh, this, uh, this Justin Trudeau article,

00:49:57.300 uh, tweet rather conservative politicians tried again to reopen the abortion debate yesterday.

00:50:02.180 My response at rising up for sexual health last night, we won't accept that we'll continue to

00:50:07.300 strengthen women's rights and improve access to sexual and reproductive health services

00:50:11.780 at home and abroad. Now, this was actually a bill talking about protecting women, um,

00:50:16.900 and effectively if women are pregnant and they've chosen to keep that baby going out of their way 0.90

00:50:21.380 to ensure that they're safe, providing additional protections there. Um, during this debate that

00:50:25.940 was about violence against women, um, a liberal, uh, member of parliament gave the middle finger

00:50:31.940 to a female conservative member of parliament while discussing sort of violence and respect for women.

00:50:38.500 And, and they've totally miscategorized this. I know there's a bunch of movements out there,

00:50:42.740 uh, sort of, uh, spurred on by pregnant women who were murdered and they lost their baby's life in,

00:50:49.460 in that sort of horrific crime. Um, and that is what this is about. That is what they are trying

00:50:55.940 to address here. We've got the clip, uh, that we can even play the audio there.

00:50:59.380 Just turn to me, made a face and gave the finger to me. I don't even know how you categorize that.

00:51:09.140 I did see the member, uh, from Kingston, um, um, make a, an objectionable sign to the opposition.

00:51:18.020 I admit that what, what, uh, the members are indicating that I did, I did do and I unreservedly

00:51:23.940 apologize for displaying my frustration that way.

00:51:26.340 Yeah. Jeez. Yeah. They totally respect and love women. Just like, this is so Trudeau. It's so

00:51:34.900 during a conversation about like, like the liberal party is the party that most respects women.

00:51:39.780 Then he throws up a, flips the bird. It's, it's unreal to see what's going on.

00:51:44.980 The tolerant left. The tolerant left. We keep seeing this over and over in so, so many different areas.

00:51:51.860 But he's like, I did do that. But it's shocking. Where is the task? And why are,

00:51:59.540 why have these elected officials become so comfortable in like, hate, that's hate over

00:52:05.060 these issues that they know that many Canadians believe, whether you agree or not, why can't

00:52:10.900 you just have a simple discussion about it without a getting to that? It's, it's really concerning.

00:52:15.460 Yeah, no, it's, uh, and it just reveals like what this is about. This is about choice. And so often

00:52:23.460 the pro-choice narrative, they don't, they're pro-aborts. They're not pro-choice because this

00:52:27.940 bill was if, if a woman does want her baby and she acknowledges that life, which apparently there's a

00:52:34.340 magical process by which it becomes a life or doesn't become a life based on what the woman thinks. 0.91

00:52:39.300 Apparently that's the science we're supposed to trust. But setting that aside, let's say we accept

00:52:43.460 the liberal narrative that it's only a baby if the woman decides she wants to keep it. This is talking 0.81

00:52:48.420 about this baby, the mom wants the baby, and then violence occurs and ends that life. That, that is 1.00

00:52:54.500 what was ultimately up for discussion here. That, the most pro-choice thing here would be to protect

00:53:00.260 women and their babies if they choose to keep those babies. So, go ahead. 1.00

00:53:06.260 And there's just so much coercion with abortions. Obviously, some women want to have an abortion, 1.00

00:53:11.460 but there's a lot of women who don't, especially young ones. They get coerced from, you know, their 1.00

00:53:15.700 parents, their friends. I actually had my firstborn very young and my friends were like crying when I said

00:53:21.860 I was going to keep it. They were like, your life is over. So, I mean, there's that too. What about standing

00:53:26.420 up for women in that? If they want to have their baby, where are the supports? Where is even just the 1.00

00:53:32.420 government saying, yeah, we support you and we appreciate and we'll, you know, stand by you.

00:53:36.980 So, and it is again, we've talked about this throughout this, the stream though, whether

00:53:42.260 it's the free drug supplies or professing to support choice while not really supporting choice

00:53:48.980 or professing to stand up to social media bullies while in fact being the censorious bully yourself,

00:53:55.460 it's just across the board. Everything progressives do is this veneer of nicety, but everything

00:54:01.140 underneath it is precisely the opposite of everything that they say it is wild to see.

00:54:07.060 I know we've got some exciting stuff. I don't even know if I'm allowed to share it, but there's

00:54:10.100 something happening in our studio in five minutes. And it relates to something we've talked about

00:54:14.100 before. So I want to get to one more story here. I don't know if we got any chance.

00:54:18.660 Yeah, about bullies. And this is wild. And it relates to the question that was actually asked

00:54:25.460 to Justin Trudeau there. Andy, no, this is all over social media, but it says a trans activist

00:54:32.020 group in Calgary, Canada is organizing a direct action today against Muslim group planning to protest

00:54:37.540 LGBTQ indoctrination in public schools. The trans group says Muslim group is not representative

00:54:43.700 Muslims and that they are fascists. It's really interesting. You can actually see this sort of 1.00

00:54:48.420 call to action pushing back. You're seeing these events right across the country in the United

00:54:54.420 States. And it's funny watching the counter protesters do mental gymnastics. If this was

00:54:59.620 Christians, they would just call them every name under the sun, Christophascists. They'd swear about

00:55:03.780 them and everything. But because now it's Muslim groups starting to push back. And I'll remind you, 1.00

00:55:08.180 in Ontario, when Kathleen Wynne tried to bring in a radical sex ed curriculum, it was the Muslim 1.00

00:55:13.140 community that in fact rallied and stood against that and defeated it a number of years ago.

00:55:18.580 But the mental gymnastics they have to do and saying like, oh, these aren't real Muslims and 0.86

00:55:22.820 there are a few bad eggs. Like they're the person who determines who is and isn't this or that.

00:55:28.980 These are families, the amount of people I've had reaching out to me about this event, families,

00:55:32.740 people who don't normally attend protests. And this event is very clear. They're saying this isn't

00:55:36.740 about hatred. This isn't about division. We want schools. This is something that everyone would have

00:55:42.260 agreed to seven minutes ago. But now it's a horrible thing to say. They're saying we can deal with this in

00:55:46.820 the home. We can deal with this on our own. We want schools focusing on academics,

00:55:51.540 teaching basic skills. We don't want them pushing the latest fad, gender ideology, that is a clearly 0.98

00:55:58.260 brand new and unsettled science, even if you're a staunch advocate for it. This is a relatively

00:56:03.380 new invention. Some might even call it a flavor of the month. And this is being pushed so

00:56:08.740 aggressively as soundly as if it were two plus two equals four in our school. So parents are

00:56:13.780 concerned across the board. It doesn't matter where they come from. We will be there tonight

00:56:18.500 covering this event. I think there's a hundred and some people confirmed just within the Calgary

00:56:25.780 Muslim group that organized this. But I know other groups are coming as well. It's likely to be a

00:56:29.780 turnout. And as we've seen, there is a sort of counteraction planned. It's taking place this

00:56:35.620 evening in Calgary at City Hall. And the evening before weekend, I could see things sort of escalating,

00:56:41.780 potentially. I'm sure there'll probably be police presence there as well. But we'll be there to cover

00:56:46.340 it, hopefully talking to both sides, garnering sort of where they're coming from. But very

00:56:50.900 interesting to see. Have there been many events like this out in BC? Yes, I think you're going

00:56:55.220 to have a larger one. But we have Sikhs, Muslims, Jews, and Christians. And of course, sometimes even

00:57:01.460 people from the LGBTQ community come together and protest these almost weekly. I've covered some as

00:57:06.980 well. And we have the same sort of calls of counter protests against them. It could be from the

00:57:12.420 anti-hate network or something called community over convoys. That's usually who is doing the call

00:57:18.580 and very Antifa-like aggressive people show up. So I've covered that before. But I just wanted to

00:57:23.700 point out real quick, and I know we're pressed for time here. This is diversity. Even on the poster

00:57:28.340 here for the event that you're covering, it says people of all faith, Muslims, Christians,

00:57:33.380 and people just to come together and protect our children's education. So it's a very diverse group

00:57:40.420 that shows up. And how bigoted of it is to say, oh, you're not really real Muslims, and then tell

00:57:46.820 everybody, people, it's just a bunch of fascists. And they also say that the group of Muslims are being 0.95

00:57:51.860 used by Calgary Freedom Central to hide up, to hide their bigotry. So how condescending is that to

00:57:59.220 the Muslim people. And one thing I just want to finish on is, this is representative of many Muslims.

00:58:06.260 And there is a statement that went out, of course, we've talked about it, but not the state-backed media,

00:58:12.420 where tons of Muslim scholars and Imams have come together and signed hundreds, including the Canadian

00:58:20.180 Council of Imams, which is also 80, 80 different Imams. So, and their communities who have said enough is

00:58:28.100 enough, stop with the indoctrination of children in schools. There's one of my kids talking right now.

00:58:36.260 We do have one chat here. And as I mentioned, we do have a hard out, so I'll get to that.

00:58:40.500 $5 from Ableist SL. What is Rebel News doing to keep bad actors out of the dissident right, such as

00:58:47.140 Grifters, the Furry Raiders, the AFPAC, the Sovereign Citizen Movement, etc. Also has Rebel

00:58:54.820 considered expanding? Well, we are always expanding. We're hiring people. We're one of the largest sort

00:59:00.500 of independent outlets within the country. And there are job postings available right now with

00:59:05.300 Rebel News. We're also, as you know, international. We've got people in the UK, often covering stories in

00:59:10.500 the United States, and obviously Avi in Australia. Now, we're a news organization, so our job is not

00:59:17.860 to control or manage the right-wing protest arms. Our job is to report on stories and make that

00:59:25.700 information available. So, well, if someone has an extreme perspective or is relaying inaccurate

00:59:32.260 information, as responsible journalists editorially, we can not cover them, not bring attention to the work

00:59:38.820 they're doing. But we don't actively intervene and manage these events. We don't run protests like

00:59:43.780 this. We don't do the activism. What we do is cover these stories and bring them to you

00:59:48.900 in a unique way, truly independent journalism, so you can bring your own sort of perspective to it.

00:59:54.500 And if you decide to become active, well, that's on you. But yeah, our job is to report on what's

00:59:58.660 happening, not to direct it. Would you agree with that, Drea? You summed it up perfectly, and I hope

01:00:04.260 you stay safe. I hope you have good protection while you cover that event, because sometimes

01:00:10.260 the tolerant left uses their hands instead of their words. Yeah, and if you do want to support

01:00:15.780 that work, Rebel Field reports, we do have to hire security for some of these events. Unfortunately,

01:00:19.860 some of these folks do come after us, whether it's the government trying to cancel us or these people

01:00:25.380 coming after us when we're just trying to tell the other side of the story. Again, if you're one of the

01:00:28.740 the folks who was in that counter protest sign, I'll have a conversation with you. Be calm,

01:00:33.540 share your perspective, and we'll include that. That's what we're going to do. Unfortunately,

01:00:36.820 that is not what happens. As I mentioned, we do have this hard out. Drea, any final words

01:00:40.660 for the folks at home? No, thank you guys for joining us. And yeah, let us know if there's

01:00:47.380 anything else to cover. But again, I'm really looking forward to your coverage of this event,

01:00:51.060 and I hope it's a good turnout. We are not the ones making it happen, but I think it's time

01:00:56.500 that more and more become aware of this issue. I think it will be. I want to thank everyone

01:01:01.220 in our studio for their incredible work for making this possible. Drea, my co-host,

01:01:04.580 thank you so much. You did a great job today. And for everyone tuning in, wherever you're tuning in,

01:01:09.060 thank you so much for joining us in the tradition of Dave Menzies. I'll sign off by saying, stay sane.
