Rebel News Podcast - DAVID MENZIES ｜ Cell phone COVID tracking; Trudeau's Stampede propaganda

00:00:00.000 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you, in which we look back at

00:00:04.840 some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favorite rebels. I'm your host, David Menzies.

00:00:10.960 Hey folks, did you ever give consent so that your cell phone provider could share your personal

00:00:17.400 information with the federal government? You know, so that the Justin Trudeau liberals could keep

00:00:24.860 tabs on your whereabouts during the pandemic? Well, this disturbing Orwellian way of taking,

00:00:32.840 of tracking rather, private citizens did indeed occur. Sheila Gunn-Reed has all the unbelievable 1.00

00:00:39.680 details. And speaking of unbelievable, remember all those glowing stories via the government-funded

00:00:46.940 mainstream media during the Calgary Stampede regarding Justin Trudeau being mobbed by admirers?

00:00:55.340 Well, it turns out this was all so much phony baloney propaganda. Our man in Calgary,

00:01:02.360 Mocha, Bezragan has the skinny. And letters, we get your letters, we get your letters every minute

00:01:08.760 of every day. And I'll share some of your letters about the new and not so improved cans of Bud Light,

00:01:14.860 which are festooned with new age pronouns like H-I-R and X-E-M and Z-I-R. But what do these fake

00:01:24.660 woke words mean? And how do you even pronounce them? Well, it turns out that not even the folks

00:01:31.440 at Labatt Brewery, no. Unbelievable. Those are your rebels. Now let's round them up.

00:01:37.920 The Public Health Agency of Canada confirmed media reports just before Christmas that it had

00:01:53.460 secretly accessed location data for 33 million mobile devices to monitor the movement of Canadians

00:02:00.540 during COVID-19. That number represents roughly 87 percent of the population who were spied on

00:02:09.320 without any knowledge that the government was accessing their data. Public Health Agency of

00:02:14.740 Canada officials were forced to admit this had occurred after a request for proposal was published

00:02:20.060 with a call for interest in continuing a program of collecting data for up to five more years.

00:02:27.140 We now know the name of the second company that helped the Public Health Agency of Canada scoop

00:02:32.120 your private location data from your cell phone and then analyze it and give it back to the government.

00:02:36.840 I can also tell you what sort of behaviors these two companies were tracking about you

00:02:40.700 without your consent.

00:02:44.740 You know, you may not know it, but Rebel News actually broke the story of the Public Health

00:02:49.000 Agency of Canada tracking the cell phone location data of, well, basically all the Canadians who have

00:02:54.460 a cell phone as part of their COVID behavior surveillance program. The way we discovered it

00:03:00.320 happening was coincidental and slightly mundane. We were checking out the government contracts and

00:03:05.740 procurements website the way we do almost every single day. And we saw a request for a contract for the

00:03:10.560 continuation of cell phone data collection for COVID surveillance, which spelled out to us that the

00:03:17.260 collection had already been happening, given that they were, of course, asking for a continuation.

00:03:22.560 Ultimately, the Public Health Agency of Canada was forced to admit that they were indeed tracking

00:03:28.980 Canadians without their knowledge and without their consent, like a bunch of Big Brother or

00:03:34.420 Wellian peeping Tom. The data, as said, is de-identified and aggregated. And I understand that it doesn't

00:03:41.180 mean a lot in and of itself. The level to which it is de-identified and aggregated, though, is quite

00:03:47.380 significant. So effectively, for one data line, we have a table called percentage of time at primary

00:03:53.100 location. And this basically represents the percentage of time that a cellular device will be at one place,

00:04:00.260 wherever it spends the most time is the primary location. The data set would say a date, so a single

00:04:06.300 day, would give a province, would give a health region, or potentially down to a census subdivision,

00:04:13.780 which is effectively a municipality. And then we get a percentage of time at that location. So,

00:04:20.340 for example, Manitoba in health region, you would have 91%. And we would know that for the aggregate,

00:04:27.420 and that's aggregated time for the day, it's aggregated for an unspecified number of potential

00:04:33.540 users within that health region, we would know that 91% of the time, that device stayed at its

00:04:39.860 primary location. And we would use that as a proxy for movement and adherence with public health

00:04:44.940 measures. So we wanted to know how they got this information, which cell phone company was the

00:04:50.980 co-conspirator here, the Creepshow collaborator, taking their customers' information, violating their

00:04:56.740 privacy, without their consent, and then selling it to the government for a profit, profiting off the

00:05:02.220 violation of their customers' trust. We had previously uncovered through access to information

00:05:08.200 that the Public Health Agency of Canada had paid TELUS Communications, the cell phone provider,

00:05:14.020 $200,000 to retroactively provide cell phone tracking data all the way back to January 2019.

00:05:20.380 You see, this way the federal government could use your cell phone data to show

00:05:24.360 your regular habits pre-COVID versus just how compliant you were after they forced you to stay

00:05:30.380 at home. Outrageous. And more proof in the pudding that under the Justin Trudeau liberals,

00:05:36.400 the sort of freedom we used to take for granted in this country, well, it's now endlessly under attack

00:05:42.980 by this federal government. Think about that, all you progressives out there who denounce the

00:05:48.700 freedom convoys, because this is the kind of Canada you really want, a dominion in which

00:05:54.960 Big Brother is watching you and listening to you as well, it would appear. Unbelievable.

00:06:02.060 And joining me now is the chief reporter for Rebel News, and that would be Sheila Gunn-Reed.

00:06:07.080 How are you doing there, Sheila? I'm great, David. Thanks for having me on the show.

00:06:10.800 It is always a pleasure. Sheila, your report had my blood boiling, but let's cut to the chase here

00:06:17.380 when it comes to the idea of personal information being harvested in such a fashion. And it's this.

00:06:24.760 Is this even legal? Who even knows? A year ago, I would have thought that having to provide

00:06:32.320 vaccination status to a bartender before they poured you a beer, that probably would have been illegal.

00:06:39.720 A year ago, I would have said a company requiring you to submit to a COVID vaccine before you went on

00:06:50.080 the job, I would have said that was illegal. So there are a lot of things that previously we would

00:06:55.640 have thought, trusted to be illegal. In the before times, they've been completely normalized these days,

00:07:03.500 including this persistent violation of the privacy of Canadians in the name of public health.

00:07:09.720 And Sheila, why did TELUS bend the knee without putting up any sort of a fight? I mean,

00:07:16.300 we talked about this the other day. Lady Menzoid and I will share. Well, yeah, maybe it is the money.

00:07:23.740 But money aside, let's be consistent here. If I wanted to inquire about my wife's cell phone services 0.94

00:07:30.680 or internet bill, anything along those lines, Bell is going to tell me to take a hike. They're going to

00:07:36.580 say we can't even share your wife's data with you, even if you're on the same bill. So why is it that

00:07:44.100 TELUS surrendered the information of God knows how many people without what I think would have been the

00:07:50.780 righteous thing to do, the proper thing to do, which is to say to the government, no, we are not

00:07:57.360 handing this over voluntarily. You're going to have to make us. But they didn't. Why?

00:08:04.020 So I guess my my first response to your entire question would have been that if TELUS wanted to

00:08:10.900 go along with this, they should have went to the customers and given them the right of first refusal.

00:08:17.060 But there's a couple of different reasons why TELUS went along with this. First of all,

00:08:20.500 we know they were paid $200,000 for this. So there's a quick cash injection into TELUS. But

00:08:26.720 it's not just TELUS that is going along with everything Public Health Canada asked them to do.

00:08:33.600 The airlines have done it. The resource companies have done it by imposing vaccine mandates on their

00:08:40.540 staff. You know, bars have done it. Rail companies have done it. Everybody has gone along with the

00:08:47.600 Public Health Agency of Canada. Nobody has resisted even once. So why would TELUS be any different?

00:08:54.800 Well, Sheila, here's the thing. I'm certainly not a lawyer. You're not a lawyer either. We have great

00:08:59.300 lawyers that work for us. So maybe I should ask them what they think. But has TELUS and the others,

00:09:04.680 have they opened themselves up to civil litigation, maybe even a class action? Because if I'm a TELUS

00:09:11.000 customer, I'm mad as hell that you shared my information to the federal government, A, B, that you

00:09:19.400 profited from that sharing? Or is there something in the nitty gritty customer service agreement that

00:09:28.280 gives them an out that if the government comes a call in, we will abide to their demands in terms of

00:09:35.620 violating your privacy? What do you think about that? I haven't seen the contracts for the TELUS

00:09:42.040 clients. But I do think that these companies who are going along with the Public Health Agency of

00:09:48.240 Canada, they think what they're doing is righteous. They think that they are doing this all in the name

00:09:54.580 of public health. They're saving lives by violating your privacy. But, you know, the whole like saving

00:10:00.740 lives and being virtuous, that wasn't quite enough because they did get paid $200,000. And there's a

00:10:06.300 second company involved in all of this, Blue Dot. I don't know how much they were paid. I just recently

00:10:12.540 have found out that they were the second company of Lord knows how many, we're sort of picking them

00:10:18.260 off as we go, who were involved in these public health agency data scoops. And going back, we were the

00:10:24.600 ones who broke the public health agency data scoop story that the Public Health Agency of Canada had to

00:10:29.940 then admit in House of Commons committee testimony, because they weren't going to tell anybody they

00:10:37.100 were doing this. What happened was we found a contract like a request for an interested supplier

00:10:44.180 who would then help tell or help the Public Health Agency of Canada continue to collect this

00:10:51.520 information. And that's when we were tipped off that they were doing it in the first place. And then

00:10:56.280 they were forced to admit it. And now we've ripped the bandaid off. And now we're trying to uncover

00:10:59.540 who was involved, how much they were paid. This Blue Dot company, they say that they help predict 0.99

00:11:05.860 future pandemics through AI. Well, that's lovely. But I don't think you need to be violating people's

00:11:12.920 privacy to do it. And having people participate in your program unwittingly, but that's what's

00:11:19.500 happening here. And the amount of data they were collecting on cell phone users, and then turning

00:11:23.900 it over to the Public Health Agency of Canada, it included whether or not you had been anywhere

00:11:28.540 near a nursing home or a hospital. If you had left your public health region and traveled to another

00:11:34.980 one nearby, they were monitoring all sorts of things about you. And you had absolutely no clue as you

00:11:41.200 were going about your business during the day, paying your cell phone provider, by the way, for

00:11:47.180 service, and then they are getting paid by the government to violate your privacy.

00:11:51.920 That is just absolutely egregious and outrageous, Sheila. One last thing. You know, I'm not a

00:11:57.360 Telus customer, but I'm telling you, if I were, I would call the company. I would say,

00:12:04.000 was my name and number passed along to the federal government? And maybe what I would do,

00:12:09.560 I know our boss hates homemade lawyering, but in this case, maybe he'll give us an exemption,

00:12:15.000 file a small claims lawsuit. In Ontario, it's only $100. And, you know, try to get some quid pro quo,

00:12:21.900 because if you guys got 200K out of selling my private information, then maybe I'm entitled

00:12:28.520 to a portion of that. Sheila, what do you want to bet Telus would probably say to such a request?

00:12:33.840 Oh, well, we can't tell you, Mr. Menzies, because of confidentiality reasons. Last word goes to you, 0.98

00:12:40.540 Sheila. Well, I'm with Roger, so half the time I can't call anybody because my phone doesn't work.

00:12:45.040 But, but, but, but second, who's protecting the data? We just heard today or over the last couple

00:12:54.680 of days that there was a major data breach in Newfoundland and Labrador with regard to public

00:13:00.260 health records. So now they have all this additional information about you sitting with

00:13:04.940 Public Health Agency of Canada. Who's protecting the sanctity of this information? Your privacy has

00:13:11.140 already been violated once. Who's out there making sure it's not violated again? And I would love to

00:13:16.780 know. But again, I say I'm with Roger, so my phone doesn't work. Unbelievable. And to add insult to

00:13:23.360 injury, I understand the CRTC is greenlighting the cell phone providers to hit us with another

00:13:29.480 outrageous increase. I think we're probably the most ripped off cell phone customers in the world.

00:13:36.640 So I guess when you do a bad deed in this nation, you get rewarded. Absolutely astonishing. Sheila,

00:13:43.600 thank you so much. And you have a great weekend, my friend. You too, David. Thanks so much.

00:13:48.400 And there you go, folks. That was Sheila Gunn-Reed somewhere in the northern hinterland 0.96

00:13:53.680 of Alberta. Keep it here. More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.

00:13:57.780 You all have seen the picture. You all have read the headlines.

00:14:05.020 Trudeau mobbed by admirers at the Stampede. That was staged. It was at a Liberal Party event.

00:14:14.420 Stampede is an annual celebration of Western lifestyle, the biggest outdoor event on earth,

00:14:19.220 and it takes place here in Calgary, Alberta. The event attracts approximately a million visitors

00:14:24.480 and a lot of media attention. A perfect opportunity for politicians from all corners,

00:14:29.520 including Justin Trudeau, to be seen as one with the Westerners and have a piece of the media pancake.

00:14:35.600 That's what Trudeau did this past Sunday. Justin Trudeau, who forces his environmentalism onto others,

00:14:41.640 there is no plan B because there's no planet B, who implemented the ever-increasing carbon tax,

00:14:47.640 a lot of what you pay per liter is tax, and that's going up. Flew thousands of kilometers in a private jet

00:14:54.360 all the way from Toronto at the expense of the taxpayer and the environment, just for a few hours

00:15:00.420 flipping pancakes for photo op and attending his Liberal Party's fundraising event. And then he

00:15:06.140 buggered off to Montreal, where he also faced protesters. And no wonder why he didn't spend the night

00:15:14.180 in Calgary. This footage is from last month, when he did stay overnight in Calgary.

00:15:20.720 He's a coward. He's taken the back door. What would your message be if he were to show up? 0.97

00:15:26.300 He's a pharmaceutical, tyrant, prostitute. What kind of country locks their dissidents inside their 1.00

00:15:33.920 country? He doesn't serve Canada. He serves someone else. Was it worth flying thousands of kilometers

00:15:40.640 at taxpayers' expense for a staged photo op? The government-funded prostitutes made it worthwhile 1.00

00:15:46.460 for Trudeau. All the major mainstream media outlets across Canada wired this headline from the Canadian

00:15:52.060 press. Trudeau mobbed by admirers at Stampede. Dozens of angry demonstrators gathered at a Liberal

00:15:58.080 campaign stop in Bolton, Ontario. Trudeau attracts protesters no matter where he is.

00:16:03.520 It really crushes the, I'm the most lovable leader in the world narrative.

00:16:16.880 What shampoo do you use?

00:16:19.380 And in Alberta, where his approval ratings kiss the ground.

00:16:24.000 The safest place for Trudeau to flip pancakes for his photo op, with the minimal risk of getting

00:16:29.000 heckled, would have been at Calgary's Skyview. The only Liberal district in Calgary. And despite

00:16:35.400 all the efforts, he was heckled.

00:16:49.560 To facilitate Trudeau's photo op, Liberal MP George Jahl, aka the Poach Pirate,

00:16:54.600 is caught removing a flyer of his opponent, conservative incumbent, invited his Facebook

00:16:59.560 followers to his partisan breakfast event happening at a local public library's parking lot on Sunday

00:17:05.520 morning. Trudeau shows up, Liberals cheer, pose for photos, and the media services it as Trudeau

00:17:12.520 mobbed by admirers at Calgary Stampede. He was not mobbed by admirers. That's a loaded term to describe

00:17:21.000 what actually took place. The CBC used the same term, mobbed, for Turkish President Erdogan when

00:17:27.640 he was surrounded by tens of thousands of people. Trudeau was surrounded by a dozen liberals,

00:17:32.440 if you exclude his bodyguards. Ironically, seeing such a headline all over the media makes you question

00:17:38.760 if North Korea is catching up to us in public relations, or are we catching up to North Korea?

00:17:43.960 And as radio legend Paul Harvey used to say, and now you know the rest of the story. Indeed,

00:17:51.720 the mainstream media has an odd definition of admirers, don't they? And don't tell me that the

00:17:59.240 likes of CBC and CTV and the other state-sponsored stenographers didn't know that this so-called

00:18:07.720 mobbing by alleged admirers was a completely staged affair. Oh, they knew. And don't tell me they

00:18:17.320 didn't know that Trudeau's so-called Stampede event was actually held several kilometers away from,

00:18:24.440 you know, the actual Calgary Stampede. When will this media manipulation ever end?

00:18:32.040 And joining me for more on this pathetic piece of propaganda is Mocha Bezragan from Calgary. Hey,

00:18:42.680 Mocha, how are you doing there? Very good. How are you? I'm doing great. So Mocha knocked me down

00:18:49.080 with a feather. Once again, mainstream media lied to us about something that occurred in terms of a

00:18:56.840 Justin Trudeau event. Mocha, my question to you is, why do these media outlets knowingly take

00:19:05.000 liberties with the truth? I mean, that's the very antithesis of journalism, isn't it?

00:19:12.600 Yes, it is. But I think I know the answer to your question. They are being paid about 600 million

00:19:19.640 dollars a year in government bailout money. What that means is they're getting paid by the government.

00:19:26.680 And you don't bite the hand that feeds. So they're not biting Justin Trudeau. Recently,

00:19:33.960 Justin Trudeau went to BC and he made a couple of visits to random locations. Nobody knew that he was

00:19:42.600 going to be there. It was all a photo op. And the media was coming along with him. But they were not,

00:19:50.360 they were told that they were not allowed to ask questions or they would be escorted out physically.

00:19:55.640 Now, this is very important. I heard about this BC incident, Mocha. And I understand that if members 0.97

00:20:04.840 of the media or even members of the public were to shout questions at Trudeau, they would be dealt with

00:20:11.960 by law enforcement. Now, tell me, you're originally from Turkey. This sounds like a little bit of Istanbul

00:20:19.400 has come over to Canada, wouldn't you say? Oh, yes. I mean, I've seen your video of you getting beaten

00:20:26.680 by Trudeau's bodyguards. For what? For trying to ask a question. It was it was crazy stuff to see. I couldn't

00:20:34.200 believe that it was happening in Canada. And now one of one other thing is these mainstream media journalists.

00:20:39.960 I read a piece, I think, I believe it was global news, where they didn't mention the fact that they

00:20:45.720 were told that they would be physically escorted out if they were to ask questions. I got that

00:20:50.200 information from an alternative source, a news organization, a local one. So it's really weird,

00:20:57.160 the information that they are feeding us. I mean, with this recent one, when he was in Calgary,

00:21:01.720 me and Sidney Fizar, we went down to Stampede because we saw that his plane landed, landed to Calgary

00:21:10.520 in the morning. And we went there, we searched the whole place. It's a big event. We couldn't find

00:21:16.680 him. We went to the airport to catch his plane. That's what I was about to leave at 2pm. We couldn't

00:21:23.560 find him there either. And now they are trying to disable the tracking of

00:21:31.720 Prime Minister's plane, the Canadian military is, so that we won't know when he goes to Tofino or

00:21:38.120 some other paradise during an important remembrance day or something. We would not know because that's

00:21:45.960 how journalists, that's how we track where he's going. You know, it's amazing, Mocha. I don't think

00:21:52.520 I'm exaggerating, but these seem to be the tools out of the toolbox of a dictator. The idea of limiting

00:22:01.000 who can ask him questions. You brought up my example from December, actually manhandling a

00:22:07.720 journalist on a public sidewalk. And by the way, we'll have our day in court, our first day in

00:22:12.760 September over that, folks. And then even not letting us know his whereabouts, because I think

00:22:18.280 you're right. This is somebody who just loves to bugger off to Tofino and go on a surfing safari,

00:22:24.440 even on National Reconciliation Day. You know, I go back to what you said earlier in the first

00:22:32.840 question, Mocha, the motivation of the journalists. And I think you're absolutely 100% correct. You do

00:22:39.240 not bite the hand that feeds. But again, this is unethical journalism. If a newspaper was covering,

00:22:49.960 you know, a tainted meat scandal at a slaughterhouse and the newspaper was getting payments from the

00:22:57.720 slaughterhouse, that just cannot fly. You are in an inherent conflict of interest. Why are we putting

00:23:04.920 up with this, especially since this is our money keeping these media properties afloat? Without that

00:23:11.880 money, I think they sink. But that runs contrary to the idea of capitalism. So it's really frustrating for

00:23:19.560 me. And I think millions of Canadians, Mocha, what do you say? Of course, like, why? Why do I,

00:23:26.760 from my own pocket, have to pay for huge news organizations that I don't even want to consume

00:23:35.800 from? Yeah. Like people who want to consume Rebel News, they give their money voluntarily. They give it.

00:23:43.480 But the mainstream media, they take it. They don't ask for it. They just take it. And so there's that

00:23:50.840 power. There's that, the viewer gets stripped out of their powers. It's not enough for them to

00:23:57.000 disappear. If you just stop watching them, because they are being fed by, they're not being,

00:24:03.400 they're not financially sustaining themselves through voluntary means, which is pretty unethical,

00:24:09.800 of course. And one other thing I wanted to mention, there are people who call Justin Trudeau

00:24:15.480 a dictator. And when that happens, mainstream media, the liberals, they all say, oh, you don't know what

00:24:20.600 a dictator is. Oh, stop exaggerating, blah, blah, blah. In my opinion, Justin Trudeau is a dictator.

00:24:27.640 Just look at how he enacted the Emergency Measures Act to quash a peaceful protest that was demanding

00:24:36.520 an end to COVID-19 restrictions and forced vaccinations. He wouldn't end it. He wouldn't talk with

00:24:43.800 them. He wouldn't even acknowledge their existence. He just went into hiding, got COVID twice. That's

00:24:50.520 what it took him to end the flight restrictions. He had to take, he had to be, he had to catch COVID

00:24:58.440 twice. This guy don't want, he has the power and he's going to dictate it. Nobody can stand on the

00:25:09.000 way. He is the man of the people. He is executing the will of the people, the dictator.

00:25:15.560 You know what? I think you're right, Mocha. And unfortunately, my friend, I think things are

00:25:21.320 going to get worse in the months ahead when you see the likes of Bill C-11 being mandated into law,

00:25:29.000 assuming it gets Senate approval, in which this government is going to censor the internet. And

00:25:36.440 again, I hearken back to eight years ago when Justin Trudeau, before he became prime minister,

00:25:42.920 said he had admiration in his heart for the basic dictatorship of China. Can you imagine that a

00:25:49.080 future leader of a Western world, a democracy would have admiration for China? I mean, what is making

00:25:57.240 this guy tick? Well, he's the most loyal prime minister on the stage of World Economic Forum. But when

00:26:06.680 he said that he tried to like he tried to backtrack when he was saying that he admires Chinese base,

00:26:14.440 China's basic dictatorship, because he knew it was a slip from the mind from his thought process.

00:26:20.200 And now everybody heard that. But there's no going back from that. We heard that that was

00:26:25.640 absolutely a ridiculous thing to say. But it tells a lot about who he is.

00:26:29.240 Yes. One last question, Mocha. There was a rumor that surfaced in certain media circles

00:26:37.000 earlier this week that Justin Trudeau, it's almost unbelievable to me, but he's contemplating a fall

00:26:44.760 election. It would be incredible given that. Oh, look, look how often we've had an election 2019,

00:26:53.080 2021, now 2022. And I really think this government's best before life has come and gone,

00:27:04.760 that they're only being propped up by the NDP, which to me is no longer even a credible political

00:27:10.760 party when you denounce the government on in the morning, but vote to prop them up at night.

00:27:16.360 Your credibility has gone out the window. Do you think that's actually a possibility, Mocha? Is

00:27:22.760 is maybe Justin Trudeau delusional or is he maybe such a sociopath that he wants to have a majority

00:27:31.480 mandate that being propped up by the Jagmeet Singh is not good enough for him and that he may think that

00:27:39.560 the conservatives under presumably Pierre Polyev is an easy target in the fall. Because I think to

00:27:47.960 think that he's making a serious miscalculation. Well, this might be a possibility, I think,

00:27:56.200 because look at look at him. He's flying all over the place, going to photo ops, taking pictures.

00:28:02.200 He wouldn't go to the airport because it's a mess. You never see these politicians, these liberals

00:28:07.160 taking selfies or taking pictures or making an announcement in front of the mess that they have

00:28:13.800 created. They only take pictures in like, it's all public relations to trick the public that he's

00:28:22.280 loved, he's admired, he's been mobbed by admirers and all that. Well, it's all a lie. It's just a bunch

00:28:28.040 of liberals, a dozen of them if you exclude all the security guards. But yeah, he might think that

00:28:34.680 if he doesn't do a quick snap election, and if Pierre Polyev wins the CPC leadership,

00:28:45.800 then he might have, you know, it might be a balanced environment where Pierre is holding him

00:28:54.440 accountable for the things he do and becoming a strong opposition. Maybe that's not what he wants

00:29:00.200 in the long term. So he just wants to get clean right away, go to an election, get rid of the

00:29:09.240 problem. I don't know. What do you think? Yeah, I think just because of Justin Trudeau's ego being

00:29:14.520 the way it is, maybe he has a bit of a humiliation in the fact that the fourth place party has to prop up

00:29:22.360 the once mighty liberals. And that he buys into the Kool-Aid that Pierre Polyev is some kind of

00:29:30.040 extremist air quotes, and Canadians will reject him. And I think if he's thinking that, he's in for

00:29:37.240 the proverbial October surprise. That's for sure. But I just think there might be something to that,

00:29:45.000 because as you alluded to, this jet setting around the country, going to pancake breakfasts,

00:29:50.680 and so on and so forth. It almost seems like he's in campaign mode, as opposed to taking the summer

00:29:57.160 off. And we know he loves to hang around at Tofino like a beach bum. So maybe there's something to it.

00:30:04.920 Last word goes to you, Mocha, in terms of what you observed in terms of, A, Prime Minister Trudeau's

00:30:12.120 visit to Calgary, and how the media, well, spun propaganda for him there.

00:30:18.760 For me to observe that was just weird, because all of a sudden, all the mainstream media outlets

00:30:24.840 all across the nation wired that headline from the Canadian press. In fact, Globe and Mail later

00:30:30.360 changed their headlines. So there's a little conscience there. But hundreds of outlets wired

00:30:36.600 that headline of Justin Trudeau mobbed by admirers at the Stampede. It was a dozen liberals. Come on,

00:30:44.920 guys. What are you doing? Who are you kidding? Justin Trudeau's approval ratings kissed the ground

00:30:51.640 in Alberta, in Calgary. There's only one liberal district in Calgary that he could only show his face.

00:30:58.840 So, but yeah, I would say everyone to be careful what the mainstream media puts out there.

00:31:06.440 It is unbelievable. And as we discussed earlier, Mocha, the insult to injury is you, me,

00:31:13.800 all the millions of Canadians out there, whether you're a Trudeau supporter or not, you're paying

00:31:18.440 for the media to spin these lies. Absolutely despicable. Mocha, thank you so much for that wonderful

00:31:24.440 report and getting the truth out there. It's much needed given the mainstream media narrative. So

00:31:30.200 you have a good weekend, my friend. Thank you for having me. A pleasure. And that was Mocha Bears again

00:31:37.080 in Calgary. Keep it here, folks. More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.

00:31:44.520 David Menzies for Rebel News here in London, Ontario. And I'm standing outside the wonderful Labatt

00:31:51.160 brewery here in London. And I'm here because, hey, buddy, have you seen what they've done to your

00:31:57.880 Bud Light can? It says celebrate everyone's identity. And there's all kinds of embedded words on the can.

00:32:05.960 But I don't even know what they mean. In fact, I can't even pronounce them. I mean, sure, there's the

00:32:12.120 easy ones like he, him, she, her, they, them. But what is XE? What is XEM? It sounds like a

00:32:20.680 satellite radio network. What is SIE and HIR? What is ZE? And what is ZIR? Again, I don't know what

00:32:32.200 those words mean. I looked them up in the dictionary. They weren't there. And I don't even know how to

00:32:35.560 pronounce them, which is why I'm spelling them. Now, I did reach out to the 1-800 number on the can.

00:32:42.440 And guess what? They have transitioned their call center to digital. No, that's what it says on the

00:32:48.600 recording. Here, check it out. Thanks for reaching out. To serve more beer drinkers,

00:32:53.800 we have transitioned our customer service digital. Please visit www.labatt.ca

00:33:01.240 or any one of our branded websites and we'll be happy to help. Yeah. So there's no more people

00:33:08.680 of any pronoun manning the phones. Can I say Manning? And now you send an email to them. I

00:33:15.640 did send an email and I asked them what I just said. What do these words mean? And how do you pronounce

00:33:21.240 them? And I have not heard back. It's been a couple of days. So that brings me here

00:33:27.640 to Labatt's London headquarters to see if somebody can set me straight. Can I say straight?

00:33:37.960 Reception? Yes. Hi there. My name is David Menzies and I'm with Rebel News. And I'm just hoping to

00:33:45.400 speak to a spokesperson about these Bud Light cans. It's, you know, they have words on it. I'm not even

00:33:52.040 sure how to pronounce them. X-E, X-E-M, S-I-E, H-I-R. And I was just trying to find out what these words

00:34:00.040 are, how you pronounce them, you know, who's responsible for that. Is there someone that could

00:34:04.120 speak to me? Um, I'll send someone out to the gate. All right. Can you hear me now? Don't press the button.

00:34:14.840 No, I didn't press the button, sir. Okay. Yeah. There's nobody here today that's able to talk to

00:34:19.720 you. So if we could grab some contact information from you, we'll have somebody from corporate affairs

00:34:24.840 reach out. Oh, okay. Just to let you know, I called the number on the can and it said that the call

00:34:31.240 sender has been transitioned to digital. And I did send an email to the Budweiser.com site there,

00:34:39.960 but I never heard back, but I'm just like, what is an X-E? Like what is an X-E-M?

00:34:45.240 I'm not sure. I'm not sure I could be of any help to you, but like I said before,

00:34:50.760 we could get you in contact with corporate and that's probably your best bet.

00:34:53.960 Oh, okay. So nobody at Labatt knows what these, um, I think they're pronouns.

00:34:58.280 I'm, I'm a security guard, so I'm actually not able to help with any of that, but we could probably get

00:35:03.480 corporate to reach out to you and they can talk to you regarding all that. Oh, okay then. And, uh, because I,

00:35:08.760 I, I, I mean, there's they, them, she, her, he, him. I get that. I don't know why you'd use them

00:35:14.200 both in the, you know, the context of the same sentence, but, uh, um, these other ones like X-E

00:35:20.360 and Z-I-R, S-I-E. Uh, I looked it up in the dictionary. I couldn't even find, uh, meanings for

00:35:25.720 them. Are these actually real words or are they made up words? I'm not sure what your question is,

00:35:31.080 but like I said, you can get in contact with corporate with, uh, this contact information that

00:35:35.000 you've given us and they can reach out to you, but unfortunately I can't answer any of your

00:35:38.760 questions. Well, there you have it folks. Uh, not even the people here at Labatt know what these

00:35:45.480 crazy pronouns mean or even how to pronounce them. Uh, the fellow at security said somebody from corporate

00:35:53.160 is going to get back in touch with me. I'll believe it when I hear it. In the meantime, I just wonder

00:35:59.160 what this, uh, can of Bud Light tastes like. Hmm.

00:36:08.360 No, sir. Don't like it. What's that saying? Go woke, get choked.

00:36:18.360 For Rebel News, I'm David the Menzoid Menzies. Well, there you have it. The beer meisters at Labatt

00:36:25.000 literally want to shove radical transgenderism down their customers' throats, but it's been almost 0.99

00:36:31.880 two weeks since I first reached out to Labatt regarding what these pronouns mean. And all I

00:36:37.880 receive in response is, um, yeah, we'll get right back to you. Yeah, right. Hopefully they will get

00:36:44.600 back to me, hopefully before the second coming of Christ. In any event, most of you were very

00:36:51.480 unimpressed with Labatt's latest dip into wokeism. D Gal writes, well, that's the last Labatt's product

00:37:00.760 that I will ever consume. I wonder if they're clearly delusional marketing department knows that

00:37:07.560 most beer drinkers are men. It's women that generally go for wine or the light beer or low 0.98

00:37:14.280 sugar alcohol. You know, you're right, D Gal. Uh, you can bet a beer conglomerate like Labatt has

00:37:21.080 very, very good statistics on who's drinking their beers, but they would rather insult their

00:37:28.200 customer base in the name of being progressive or woke or pro-radical transgenderism. Absolutely

00:37:35.880 amazing. Earl Greystoke writes, well done, David Menzies and Rebel News. Keep challenging gender 1.00

00:37:44.120 insanity. Indeed we shall, primarily because there is not so much material. We live in a world where

00:37:52.440 a U.S. Supreme Court judge cannot define a woman. There are those on the progressive left that refer

00:37:58.680 to women as birthing persons and breastfeeding as chest feeding. Enough is enough already. 0.89

00:38:07.160 Helium Hub Crypto Collective writes, yeah, because there are so many Canadian middle-class,

00:38:13.320 hardworking guys standing around after working a 12-hour grind on a tough day saying to themselves,

00:38:20.680 I wish I had a beer with a rainbow on it. Marketing morons. Indeed, what a way to alienate your core 1.00

00:38:28.520 market group. Again, astonishing. Sean Reed writes, Menzies is hilarious and goes full speed ahead with

00:38:36.360 the moronic left. Keep it up, kid. Well, thanks for the kind word, Sean. But in all honesty, 1.00

00:38:42.120 the loony left does tend to make things really easy for me. But then again, folks, not everyone

00:38:48.840 was impressed with the report. Lord Take writes, this is so fantastically blind to reality. Good for you

00:38:57.560 for looking so very smart, Rebel. My God, do you ever look stupid, David Menzies. Well, Lord Take, 1.00

00:39:05.880 I don't understand. I mean, you say the report is blind to reality, yet Labatt is using unreal,

00:39:13.880 made-up words for phony baloney genders or sexual orientations or whatever the case may be. Hey,

00:39:21.480 we're the ones trying to keep it real here, my friend, but not even Labatt seems to know what's

00:39:27.880 being promoted on their Bud Light cans these days. How unreal is that? And Terry Rudin writes,

00:39:37.400 Careful, Dave. Those acronyms refer to various sexual preferences, and each of those cans contains

00:39:44.600 specially brewed beer that will immediately tilt you in the direction identified on the label.

00:39:51.480 There is no antidote. Oh no, you didn't already drink one, did you? Which one? Hey, Terry, I believe I

00:40:01.080 drank the ZIR Bud Light variant. So that means I now identify as a 1971 Chevy Camaro Z28? Cool! I've always

00:40:14.840 wanted to go through life identifying as a muscle car. Well, that wraps up another edition of Rebel Roundup.

00:40:22.040 Thanks so much for joining us. See you next week. And hey, folks, never forget, without risk,

00:40:28.360 there can be no glory. Good night.

00:40:44.840 We'll see you next week.
