Rebel News Podcast - DAVID MENZIES ｜ Progressives rush to defend a transgender murder from the death penalty

00:00:00.000 Tonight, the mainstream media and the Democrats tried to get clemency for a first-degree murderer

00:00:21.500 because he was trans. Thankfully, they failed. It's Wednesday, January the 4th, 2023. 1.00

00:00:30.720 I'm David Menzies, and this is The Ezra Levent Show.

00:00:37.380 Shame on you, you censorious bug.

00:00:49.300 Say, folks, have you been following the perverse saga that is, or rather was, the Amber McLaughlin story?

00:00:56.900 For starters, here's a photo of the adorable Amber.

00:01:00.520 Now, I don't mean to be harsh here, but this particular Amber looks more like a red light to me.

00:01:09.140 Indeed, wouldn't you say that Lady Amber comes across as a little bit, you know, man-ish? 1.00

00:01:16.080 Well, your eyes aren't failing you, folks, because in the immortal words of Austin Powers,

00:01:21.960 That ain't no woman. It's a man-man. 1.00

00:01:26.220 Gee, could you even film such a scene like that these days without being hauled before some kangaroo court human rights tribunal and being charged with a thought crime?

00:01:35.560 In any event, I am delighted to report that at around 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time last night,

00:01:43.780 a certain procedure was embraced, which now allows us to refer to Amber in the past tense.

00:01:50.500 That's because this monster, who was serving time in a Missouri jail for first-degree murder,

00:01:57.500 was sent to the great hereafter via lethal injection, good riddance.

00:02:03.060 Not that there wasn't a vigorous fight by the progressive left to save this chick with a dick. 0.98

00:02:09.520 By the way, Amber McLaughlin's real name is Scott McLaughlin.

00:02:13.100 That's because when he was born about a half century ago,

00:02:16.160 nobody in their right mind would have dreamed of naming a bouncing baby boy as Amber.

00:02:23.480 But in this young century, a moronic mantra endlessly uttered by those on the political left

00:02:30.720 is, if it's trans, it's good, and if it's good, it's trans.

00:02:36.360 And that's the crux of the matter when it comes to the McLaughlin story.

00:02:40.320 After all, an inmate being put to death in the United States is hardly newsworthy.

00:02:46.100 There are hundreds of prisoners on death row, several of whom are executed on an annual basis.

00:02:52.560 The fact that a murderer was put to death in the USA is about as newsworthy as reporting that

00:02:58.540 there is salt water in the Atlantic Ocean.

00:03:01.760 But the Amber Scott saga is apparently newsworthy, we are told, because he's the first trans person

00:03:10.480 to be executed, to which I have to say, who in blue hell cares?

00:03:16.720 I'll leave it to your own devices to run a Google News search of this individual and dredge up the

00:03:22.680 pathetic prose generated by the mainstream media.

00:03:25.680 So much of it painted Scott as a really likable guy or gal or something.

00:03:33.020 Check out this line from a CBS story, noting how a fellow inmate, Jessica Hinklin, described

00:03:39.840 McLaughlin as, quote, a painfully shy person who came out of her shell after she decided

00:03:46.380 to transition.

00:03:47.900 She always had a smile and a dad joke. 0.98

00:03:50.440 If you ever talked to her, it was always with the dad jokes, end quote.

00:03:55.680 Oh, hearty har har.

00:03:58.680 Stop it with those dad jokes already, Scotty boy.

00:04:01.860 You're killing me.

00:04:03.640 In any event, the mainstream media narrative suggested that executing Scott was in itself

00:04:09.200 a crime because, well, he now dons female props and he identifies as a she.

00:04:16.020 And as previously stated, if it's trans, it's good. 0.95

00:04:19.920 And if it's good, it's trans. 1.00

00:04:22.180 Indeed, in many respects, a scene from Family Guy is now proving to be eerily prescient.

00:04:30.020 Excuse me, ma'am.

00:04:31.040 No porn at the bar.

00:04:32.260 Oh, it's OK.

00:04:32.840 I'm transgender.

00:04:33.860 Oh, I had no idea.

00:04:35.640 Do whatever you want all the time.

00:04:37.240 Yeah, do whatever you want all the time because Halloween is every day in our not-so-brave

00:04:44.580 new world.

00:04:45.660 Oh, I can hear some bleeding hearts right now reacting thusly.

00:04:50.100 Oh, Menzies, why are you being so mean to this good-time pal that really loves telling dad

00:04:57.200 jokes and smiling?

00:04:58.600 Oh, well, here's why.

00:05:00.640 In many of the news stories covering the McLaughlin story, you'll have to drill down some four

00:05:06.040 or five paragraphs to find out why Scotty Boy was on death row in the first place.

00:05:11.320 You see, some two decades ago, Scott McLaughlin was convicted of killing 45-year-old Beverly

00:05:18.520 Gunther.

00:05:19.640 Gunther was McLaughlin's former girlfriend back when Amber was a he-him as opposed to a she-her. 0.89

00:05:27.000 And it should also be noted, folks, that before he stabbed Beverly Gunther to death with a steak

00:05:32.700 knife, Scott raped her. 1.00

00:05:35.380 By the way, before she was murdered, Miss Gunther lived in constant fear of her life.

00:05:42.680 Scott incessantly stalked her, and it was not uncommon for the police to escort Beverly from

00:05:48.760 her office building to her car in the parking lot.

00:05:51.960 Ah, but Scott McLaughlin, he eventually got his way, raping and killing Beverly, then placing 0.78

00:05:58.620 her body in a garbage bag and dumping that bag in the Mississippi River as if this woman 0.99

00:06:03.860 was nothing but a piece of trash.

00:06:06.600 Now, that wasn't very ladylike of Scotty, wouldn't you say, folks?

00:06:11.120 And that's the real story here, that a malicious and brutal and violent man finally got what was

00:06:19.920 coming to him.

00:06:21.360 But in the department of burying the lead, as we like to say in the journalism business,

00:06:27.000 for so many in the mainstream media, the brutal murder Scott carried out was not the crux of

00:06:33.280 the matter.

00:06:33.680 Rather, the news peg was that since he was pretending to be a she, that means the state

00:06:39.780 of Missouri should have granted this she-male thug clemency. 1.00

00:06:46.040 Indeed, in media reports, it was noted that in his final written statement before going on an

00:06:51.920 eternal date with the Grim Reaper, Scott wrote the following, quote,

00:06:56.640 I am a loving and caring person, end quote.

00:07:00.220 Can you believe that rubbish?

00:07:01.940 I mean, wow, if rape and murder is the bailiwick of a loving and caring person, I'd hate to

00:07:07.740 see what sort of shenanigans are carried out by a real son of a bitch. 0.97

00:07:13.300 Or is it simply bitch, given that Scott's last appearance on Terra Firma was as Amber? 0.98

00:07:20.020 Oh, it's also confusing, isn't it?

00:07:22.760 And of course, leave it to the Joe Biden Democrats to go to bat for this monster.

00:07:27.320 Check out this pithy prose from the UK's Guardian newspaper, quote,

00:07:30.960 Two Missouri members of Congress, Democrats Cori Bush and Emanuel Cleaver, had been campaigning

00:07:37.820 for McLaughlin's sentence to be commuted and last week wrote to Governor Mike Parson urging

00:07:44.140 him to scrap the execution.

00:07:47.000 They noted that McLaughlin, 49, was given the death sentence when the judge in the case made

00:07:52.540 a unilateral decision after the jury deadlocked on her fate.

00:07:56.960 The members of Congress complained about alleged shortcomings in her trial, including failure

00:08:03.700 to include expert testimony and evidence on the defendant's mental health, end quote.

00:08:11.220 By the way, that's a whopper of a line there, isn't it?

00:08:14.820 That line about McLaughlin's mental health.

00:08:17.700 Isn't that interesting?

00:08:19.380 I mean, there is indeed a body of evidence indicating that a disproportionate number of trans individuals

00:08:25.900 suffer from various mental health issues ranging from autism to Asperger's syndrome.

00:08:32.380 But to mention this research in certain circles, one shall be deemed to be a hater and or a transphobe.

00:08:41.620 Yet when an allegedly trans individual is on death row fighting for his or her life, suddenly those 0.90

00:08:48.240 members of the loving left unapologetically play the mental illness card.

00:08:54.120 Gee, talk about desperation.

00:08:56.620 Talk about hypocrisy.

00:08:58.000 Talk about chutzpah.

00:08:59.840 Incidentally, I say allegedly trans because how do we know for certain that Scotty wasn't a grifter, 0.98

00:09:06.060 that he wasn't playing a colossal con game here, the goal being to get into a female penitentiary 0.70

00:09:14.140 where, you know, he would have a stable of vulnerable real woman to prey on. 1.00

00:09:19.460 Yeah, I know he's shy and he likes to tell dad jokes all the time, but still.

00:09:25.500 By the way, thanks to Prime Minister Blackface McGroper, this is par for the course here in Canada these days. 0.94

00:09:32.560 You can be a 6'5", 350-pound bearded violent dude and you merely have to identify as Tinkerbell

00:09:41.940 and you will be allowed to serve your sentence in a woman's prison. 1.00

00:09:46.360 No hormone shots, no slicing and dicing of the genitals. 0.99

00:09:50.460 You merely have to make believe that you're female and voila, it will be completely accepted as such.

00:09:57.880 I know that sounds insane and downright unbelievable, but it's true. 0.99

00:10:02.560 Check out this snippet from a report we filed back in 2021 pertaining to a protest outside a federal woman's penitentiary in Kitchener, Ontario.

00:10:12.940 When I first got here, I was told right away by some of the women to watch out for a certain prisoner.

00:10:19.300 And I said, wait, we have men here?

00:10:22.140 And they're like, yeah, we do, but you're not allowed to call them men and you have to use she, her pronouns.

00:10:27.720 Are you telling me, Heather, I can just deviously say, hey, I'm a woman all of a sudden and I'm here?

00:10:34.700 Yes, you could.

00:10:35.520 Will you do your best to ensure that trans women are put in prison or prison more appropriate to their gender identity?

00:10:42.340 The answer is yes.

00:10:43.600 The next day it was policy.

00:10:45.860 Unbelievable.

00:10:46.620 That is how much consideration women got. 1.00

00:10:48.780 It's sorry to see real women like yourselves throw women inmates under the bus because of males pretending to be females. 0.95

00:10:57.840 I will not call him a woman because he was not.

00:11:02.680 How he victimized women throughout the compound over that period of time absolutely floored me.

00:11:08.320 We really should be able to define a woman in this country. 1.00

00:11:10.780 And sure, a lot of trans people live the way they want. 0.88

00:11:14.740 However, you can't just throw women under the bus.

00:11:17.420 Faking transgender just to be where you want to be, where your victim pool is, is wrong. 0.98

00:11:23.100 I, right now, identify as a female.

00:11:25.720 And if I'm found guilty, I want to be incarcerated in that building.

00:11:29.080 Is that okay?

00:11:29.640 Sir, you have the right to do whatever you want.

00:11:31.720 Incredible.

00:11:32.160 Now, thankfully, Missouri Governor Mike Parson did not bend the knee to the woke mobsters and the transgender tyrants. 1.00

00:11:41.520 Here's what the governor had to say yesterday.

00:11:44.180 Quote, McLaughlin is a violent criminal.

00:11:47.760 Ms. Gunther's family and loved ones deserve peace.

00:11:51.720 The state of Missouri will carry out McLaughlin's sentence according to the court's order and deliver justice.

00:11:59.080 End quote.

00:11:59.680 Yeah, justice.

00:12:00.740 I know what you're thinking.

00:12:01.620 What a concept these days, eh?

00:12:04.080 But I should mention this.

00:12:05.760 In the Department of Cosmic Irony and Coincidence, the same day Scott McLaughlin was being prepped for the long needle,

00:12:14.460 news broke that one of the great thinkers of our time, Dr. Jordan Peterson, is now being persecuted for wrong thought.

00:12:24.280 Dr. Peterson first came to prominence, of course, when he was teaching at the University of Toronto several years ago

00:12:30.360 and took a stand against compelled speech, especially the insistence to refer to those various spirit unicorns on campus with phony baloney pronouns such as Zzer and Zizem and Zerher and so on and so forth.

00:12:46.720 He has since gone on to write bestsellers and to be a much sought after speaker the world over.

00:12:52.920 In any event, Dr. Peterson took to Twitter yesterday to state the following, quote,

00:12:57.740 breaking the Ontario College of Psychologists has demanded that I submit myself to mandatory social media communication retraining with their experts for,

00:13:10.200 among other crimes, retweeting Pierre Polievre and criticizing Justin Trudeau and his political allies.

00:13:18.180 I am to take a course of such training with reports documenting my progress or face an in-person tribunal and suspension of my right to operate as a licensed clinical psychologist.

00:13:33.600 About a dozen people from all over the world submitted complaints about my public statements on Twitter

00:13:40.420 and Rogan over a four-year period out of the 15 million who follow me on social media, claiming that I had harmed people, not them, with my views, end quote.

00:13:55.060 Incredible and downright chilling.

00:13:57.380 Dr. Peterson's colleagues think he must be reprogrammed now for embracing free speech, for taking a stance against insanity.

00:14:06.420 And by the way, who exactly looks upon Jordan Peterson as being controversial for simply espousing common sense?

00:14:17.720 Is it the woke mob on campus, Antifa, those experiencing mental illness and or the trans community?

00:14:25.820 As for the Ontario College of Psychologists, please, physicians, heal thyself.

00:14:32.300 So, there you have it, folks.

00:14:35.100 A first-degree murderer is supposedly deserving of our compassion and our forgiveness

00:14:41.580 because the killer took to donning a wig and earrings and splashing some garish makeup on his face,

00:14:48.560 thereby morphing into a transgendered person in the process.

00:14:53.780 And besides, he was shy and, you know, he loved the crack dad jokes.

00:14:58.560 Meanwhile, someone such as Dr. Jordan Peterson, a man blessed with a brilliant mind

00:15:04.040 and someone who does not bend the knee to society's rancid cancel culture mobsters,

00:15:11.620 he is being called upon the carpet by some quacks populating a star chamber 1.00

00:15:18.040 in order to justify his so-called wrong thoughts

00:15:22.240 as though we are currently living in some real-life Orwellian nightmare?

00:15:27.280 Give me a break.

00:15:30.160 In the final analysis, the year 2023 is barely 96 hours old,

00:15:35.660 and it would appear that planet Earth is still continuing to self-identify as clown world.

00:15:43.220 Now, folks, you might recall the name Jesse Johnson.

00:15:57.480 He's a restaurateur who operated a popular Calgary pizzeria.

00:16:02.680 But about a year ago, Calgary Bylaw went on a jihad to put this entrepreneur out of business.

00:16:08.780 And what was his egregious crime, you ask?

00:16:12.360 Did he run afoul of health and safety guidelines?

00:16:15.700 Hardly.

00:16:16.980 Here's the tweet Johnson issued after losing his pizza parlor.

00:16:21.660 Quote,

00:16:21.940 Well, so much for that mantra, we're all in this together.

00:16:48.120 Absolutely unbelievable.

00:16:50.120 And joining me now is Jesse Johnson of Without Papers Pizza.

00:16:54.820 Hey, Jesse, welcome to the Ezra Levin Show.

00:16:58.120 My honor to be on, sir. Thank you.

00:16:59.800 Well, thank you for your time, as always.

00:17:01.360 So, Jesse, please explain how an unvaccinated teenager

00:17:06.440 eating a slice of pepperoni pizza in your restaurant

00:17:10.260 is akin to, oh, I don't know,

00:17:12.640 entertaining the modern-day version of Typhoid Mary.

00:17:15.740 What was Bylaw thinking?

00:17:18.640 The City of Calgary enacted Bylaw 65M2021

00:17:22.220 that required me to discriminate anybody who had not received

00:17:26.440 an experimental medical injection in order to eat a pizza in my restaurant.

00:17:32.100 Anybody who was 13 years old in order 0.94

00:17:34.900 had to receive this injection in order to sit down.

00:17:38.360 A girl came in and sat down, ate a pizza. 1.00

00:17:42.180 I refused to check her medical records,

00:17:44.980 and that caused the authorita to come and close my restaurant.

00:17:49.200 I was in business for 20 years.

00:17:50.660 I was an institution in Calgary.

00:17:51.960 I was a pillar of my community.

00:17:53.520 After I said that I wouldn't participate in the medical segregation of society,

00:17:57.540 everyone turned on me like a bunch of treacherous snakes.

00:18:00.700 And, you know, Jesse, we've always been told to follow the science.

00:18:03.540 Now, you said something very interesting there.

00:18:05.320 You had to be older than 12, you know, for you to be able to go into a restaurant

00:18:11.920 and show your papers, prove your vaccination status.

00:18:15.280 But if that child was one year younger, if he was 12 instead of 13,

00:18:20.120 then that would have been completely all right.

00:18:23.220 So the COVID-19 virus, it can determine who it's going to infect by age?

00:18:29.600 I mean, this sounds ridiculous.

00:18:32.500 It is absolutely ridiculous.

00:18:34.260 It also didn't affect you if you sat down.

00:18:36.680 But when you stood up, you had to put your mask on.

00:18:39.700 The lunacy and insanity was just an abomination of justice and of reasoning.

00:18:48.280 You know, the other disturbing thing about this,

00:18:50.700 you mentioned you were a pillar of the community,

00:18:52.840 and yet you mentioned in your tweet that I read the other businesses in the area,

00:18:58.760 at least some of them, they ratted you out to the police.

00:19:02.920 Why would they do that, Jesse?

00:19:06.660 I think under the guise of safety,

00:19:08.940 there was also an omnipresent fear that existed in society at that time.

00:19:15.320 And I think many people felt it was their duty to inform the powers that be

00:19:20.580 that I was not complying with the tyranny.

00:19:23.280 I was never an anti-vaxxer.

00:19:25.280 I simply didn't think that it was right for me to discriminate anybody

00:19:28.900 to come into my restaurant,

00:19:30.700 especially to turn somebody away for being nothing else

00:19:33.720 other than the exact same of me.

00:19:35.420 I would not participate in it.

00:19:37.000 And I expressly stated that.

00:19:39.020 And that upset a great many people,

00:19:40.600 including the mayor, Jason Kenney,

00:19:43.240 all sorts of members of the NDP.

00:19:45.120 All of these people were customers of mine.

00:19:46.860 Jason Kenney used to come and drink at my restaurant often.

00:19:49.000 And yeah, there was no way I was going to participate in that.

00:19:52.200 And I couldn't believe that so many people fell for it,

00:19:54.520 that this was nothing.

00:19:56.880 It was based purely on political science.

00:19:58.840 And it was obvious for anybody except the completely daft sea.

00:20:03.520 Yeah, I think you're right, Jesse.

00:20:04.860 And I mean, when it comes to Jason Kenney,

00:20:07.140 he's now yesterday's man in Alberta.

00:20:09.200 And I think his behavior during the pandemic,

00:20:12.980 the way businesses and individuals were targeted

00:20:17.160 that didn't go along with his plans.

00:20:19.980 That's a big reason why he is now the ex-premier,

00:20:23.420 I think, at least.

00:20:24.960 But, you know, the other thing that I found remarkable,

00:20:28.300 and I want to get your input, Jesse,

00:20:29.980 is that how quickly things changed when it came to privacy.

00:20:36.360 It used to be one's medical records.

00:20:39.500 That was information between you and your doctor.

00:20:42.740 Suddenly, we have people asking,

00:20:44.660 did you get shots and boosters for this, that, and the other?

00:20:49.040 Then there's also, and the left especially subscribed,

00:20:52.820 to the chestnut, my body, my choice.

00:20:57.440 I guess that only applies to when you're terminating a baby,

00:21:01.080 not when you're getting, as you mentioned,

00:21:03.420 an experimental vaccine put in your arm.

00:21:07.060 What do you make of what happened in the world

00:21:11.720 these last two years, Jesse?

00:21:15.200 I never thought that I would ever see something like this happen,

00:21:18.360 especially in my beloved Canada.

00:21:20.480 I never thought I would see a country divided.

00:21:23.640 That bylaw, the vaccine passport, 0.99

00:21:26.320 was the most heinous crime ever enforced upon Canadians.

00:21:29.180 It literally divided a nation,

00:21:30.820 pitted family against family, peer against peer,

00:21:32.980 all for private medical decisions.

00:21:36.920 Those decisions should have been kept private all along,

00:21:39.920 and they were forced to be public,

00:21:41.780 and upon doing so,

00:21:42.760 you were to be vilified and ostracized from society.

00:21:45.320 It was disgusting.

00:21:46.500 It was absolutely disgusting.

00:21:48.660 It shocked me how we refused to learn from our past.

00:21:52.760 I share your sentiment, Jesse.

00:21:54.560 Also, correct me if I'm wrong,

00:21:56.920 I think your pizza parlor officially went out of business

00:22:01.360 October of 2021.

00:22:03.520 Is that correct?

00:22:04.860 That is correct.

00:22:05.960 And in the meantime,

00:22:07.820 what have you been doing, if anything,

00:22:10.560 I guess, to get back in business?

00:22:13.420 It's taken me quite some time to recover,

00:22:16.040 to be quite honest with you.

00:22:17.460 The emotional toll that it's taken upon me

00:22:19.800 still has ramifications.

00:22:22.420 I wake up every single night and think to myself,

00:22:25.100 what have I done, and how did this happen,

00:22:27.620 and how could I possibly lose it all

00:22:29.620 for doing what I thought was the right thing,

00:22:32.320 the moral thing,

00:22:33.320 and what God himself would have done, I believe.

00:22:36.540 Jesse, how would you react to,

00:22:38.360 I guess, a contrarian out there who would say,

00:22:40.980 you know, all you had to do was follow the rules,

00:22:44.200 follow the law,

00:22:45.540 ensure people were vaccinated

00:22:47.380 when they came into your restaurant,

00:22:49.540 and then you'd still be in business.

00:22:51.300 What's your answer to that point of view?

00:22:53.560 I think those people are asinine

00:22:56.440 that I should have to discriminate anybody 0.95

00:22:58.620 for any length of time

00:22:59.740 in order to perpetuate a scam

00:23:02.060 was beyond me.

00:23:04.300 And for me to have participated in

00:23:06.280 for even one single hour

00:23:07.820 was not possible.

00:23:10.140 Yeah, the good Lord will judge you,

00:23:11.840 not me.

00:23:13.100 And Jesse, moving forward,

00:23:15.140 we're in the very early stages of 2023.

00:23:18.040 Is there any possibility,

00:23:21.800 you know, there has been

00:23:23.160 a bit of regime change in Alberta.

00:23:26.040 Mr. Kenny is gone,

00:23:27.300 Mrs. Smith is in.

00:23:29.340 Is there any possibility

00:23:30.720 you might be back up and running?

00:23:33.240 And especially with the new regime,

00:23:36.180 there will be, I would suspect,

00:23:38.520 more tolerance for businesses such as yours.

00:23:42.500 I do feel that the narrative is changing.

00:23:44.700 I'm thankful that Daniel Smith

00:23:46.100 is our new premier.

00:23:47.380 I hope that she follows through

00:23:48.680 with the promises that she makes.

00:23:50.480 It is my intention

00:23:51.360 to hold the government accountable

00:23:53.160 for the crimes

00:23:53.880 that they have committed against me.

00:23:55.600 My business supported two families,

00:23:58.160 employed 30 people,

00:23:59.100 and generated millions of dollars

00:24:00.940 in tax over the course of its life.

00:24:03.280 And I intend to seek retribution

00:24:05.860 for what was committed against me.

00:24:08.860 I've set up a give, send, go,

00:24:10.540 and I'm going to find a lawyer

00:24:13.140 who is not corrupted by the system,

00:24:15.940 who will recognize that I adhered

00:24:18.000 to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

00:24:20.500 It was me that upheld the law

00:24:22.320 and not the lawholders themselves.

00:24:24.540 And I intend to hold

00:24:26.560 these tyrants accountable.

00:24:29.340 You know, I wish you well, Jesse.

00:24:32.060 I mean, we've been told from the get-go

00:24:34.220 this is all based on science.

00:24:36.620 I think you're correct.

00:24:38.520 It's not medical science.

00:24:39.660 It's political science

00:24:40.820 driving the decisions.

00:24:42.360 I don't think there's one iota of evidence

00:24:44.800 that you having a 13-year-old boy

00:24:47.240 coming into your restaurant,

00:24:49.120 eating a slice of pizza

00:24:50.220 without vaccination,

00:24:51.840 was going to cause any ill will

00:24:53.940 to anyone.

00:24:55.420 It is just egregious

00:24:56.960 how the authorities went after you.

00:24:59.800 Jesse, last word goes to you, my friend.

00:25:02.660 Thank you very much.

00:25:03.680 I wanted to thank Rebel News.

00:25:05.880 When this first occurred to me,

00:25:07.380 I was very naive

00:25:08.740 as to what was going on in the world.

00:25:11.320 And I realized quickly

00:25:12.360 that the mainstream media in Canada

00:25:14.240 was nothing more than

00:25:15.860 state-funded propaganda

00:25:18.120 for Trudeau and all his henchmen.

00:25:20.500 And I was in a state of despair.

00:25:23.480 I reached out to Rebel News

00:25:24.860 and you sent Sid Rezard,

00:25:27.220 Adam Seuss,

00:25:28.820 Kian Simone,

00:25:30.280 true rebels,

00:25:31.680 true reporters

00:25:32.780 who risked their reputation

00:25:35.100 to show the other side of the story.

00:25:37.180 God bless you.

00:25:37.960 God bless Rebel News

00:25:38.840 and God bless Canadians.

00:25:40.940 Indeed.

00:25:41.300 And I believe there might be

00:25:42.720 a mini-documentary

00:25:43.980 in the works

00:25:44.560 to chronicle

00:25:45.840 what happened

00:25:47.640 to your pizza parlor, Jesse.

00:25:50.100 So we have that

00:25:51.160 to look forward to.

00:25:52.240 Listen,

00:25:52.980 Happy New Year nonetheless.

00:25:54.640 I hope you're back in business.

00:25:55.880 I heard you made

00:25:56.760 a really great pizza pie.

00:25:58.500 I'd love to see you

00:26:00.500 back in business again, Jesse.

00:26:02.580 And thanks so much

00:26:03.960 for your time once again.

00:26:05.940 Absolute pleasure, sir.

00:26:06.820 Thank you.

00:26:07.280 And that was Jesse Johnson,

00:26:09.300 the owner of the now

00:26:10.560 dearly departed

00:26:11.560 without papers pizza.

00:26:14.260 Keep it here, folks.

00:26:15.060 More of the Ezra Levin

00:26:16.180 show to come

00:26:16.800 right after this.

00:26:17.820 Well, folks,

00:26:30.420 plenty of feedback

00:26:31.140 to my monologue

00:26:32.440 from last night

00:26:33.380 regarding Aaron O'Toole's essay.

00:26:36.220 You know,

00:26:36.460 he's very offended

00:26:37.520 by those F. Trudeau flags

00:26:39.280 and he wishes

00:26:40.280 that they would go away

00:26:41.840 in 2023.

00:26:43.440 How about yesterday's man,

00:26:45.280 Aaron O'Toole,

00:26:46.280 goes away instead?

00:26:47.240 In any event,

00:26:49.400 the S. Foil writes,

00:26:51.260 like I told

00:26:51.920 the CPC fundraiser

00:26:53.880 who called me

00:26:54.720 looking for money

00:26:55.620 when O'Toole

00:26:56.420 won the party leadership,

00:26:58.740 no, I won't give you money

00:27:00.880 or my vote

00:27:01.880 because Aaron O'Toole

00:27:03.320 is Justin Trudeau

00:27:04.800 with less hair.

00:27:06.560 Well, my friend,

00:27:07.760 you were obviously

00:27:08.760 ahead of the curve.

00:27:10.400 We saw some disturbing signs

00:27:12.280 during the 2021

00:27:13.760 election campaign

00:27:15.600 that indicated

00:27:16.840 that contrary

00:27:18.000 to what Aaron O'Toole

00:27:19.380 was professing,

00:27:20.280 he was not

00:27:21.580 a true blue conservative.

00:27:24.100 And the fact

00:27:24.580 that he's going

00:27:25.300 to bat

00:27:25.900 for Justin Trudeau

00:27:27.940 given all

00:27:29.220 of his scandals

00:27:30.780 and misdemeanors

00:27:31.860 these last

00:27:32.880 seven-odd years,

00:27:35.040 unbelievable.

00:27:36.740 Splayed Boko writes,

00:27:38.240 guess now you need

00:27:39.380 F. Trudeau

00:27:40.540 and F. O'Toole flags.

00:27:42.380 Well, you know what?

00:27:43.440 I wouldn't mind.

00:27:44.740 Is anyone selling

00:27:45.680 F. O'Toole flags

00:27:47.300 or given that

00:27:48.340 this man

00:27:49.040 is so irrelevant

00:27:50.880 in 2023,

00:27:52.780 really,

00:27:53.540 would that not be

00:27:54.560 a waste of fabric?

00:27:56.960 Also,

00:27:57.780 a lot of email

00:27:58.940 to come in

00:27:59.640 regarding my interview

00:28:00.860 with Billboard Chris

00:28:02.240 and ongoing gender

00:28:04.340 surgeries

00:28:05.120 with children.

00:28:07.180 Thomas Jones

00:28:07.940 simply says,

00:28:09.060 WTF?

00:28:09.900 Well, first of all,

00:28:10.820 Thomas,

00:28:11.120 I think Aaron O'Toole

00:28:12.340 might be offended

00:28:13.280 by those initials.

00:28:14.400 You know,

00:28:14.520 he's a very sensitive person.

00:28:16.780 But yeah,

00:28:17.320 Billboard Chris, folks,

00:28:18.620 was basically showing

00:28:20.740 how at Boston

00:28:21.960 Children's Hospital

00:28:23.020 lots of gender

00:28:25.280 reassignment surgery

00:28:27.900 is taking place.

00:28:29.340 I would call it

00:28:30.260 gender mutilation 0.98

00:28:32.440 surgery

00:28:33.360 on children

00:28:34.640 as young

00:28:35.740 as 12 to 14.

00:28:37.060 It's absolutely

00:28:37.980 despicable.

00:28:38.620 And really,

00:28:40.180 let's look at

00:28:41.140 the bottom line,

00:28:41.960 which is the bottom line.

00:28:43.440 There is tons

00:28:44.560 of money

00:28:45.440 to be made here

00:28:46.600 when you get

00:28:47.780 even a child

00:28:48.880 on an operating table

00:28:50.540 and mutilate

00:28:52.320 their genitalia.

00:28:54.180 It is absolutely

00:28:55.160 sickening.

00:28:55.980 And let's hope

00:28:56.800 more in the medical

00:28:57.960 community

00:28:58.560 stand up

00:28:59.760 and say

00:29:00.400 this is wrong.

00:29:03.120 Well, folks,

00:29:03.900 thank you so much

00:29:04.880 for tuning in.

00:29:05.960 That is tonight's

00:29:07.240 Ezra Levent Show.

00:29:08.120 Sheila Gunn-Reed,

00:29:09.420 she'll be here

00:29:10.100 tomorrow and Friday.

00:29:11.460 The Big Boss Man

00:29:12.380 will be back

00:29:13.040 on Monday.

00:29:14.520 In the meantime,

00:29:15.420 as always,

00:29:16.320 stay safe

00:29:17.060 and stay sane.

00:29:19.200 Hey, how's it going?

00:29:20.000 Celine Gallus here

00:29:20.720 with Rebel News.

00:29:22.000 Now, folks,

00:29:22.640 I've tied my findings

00:29:23.560 for today's breakdown

00:29:24.460 to the so-called

00:29:25.560 green energy reset

00:29:26.640 that the ruling elites

00:29:27.780 would have you believe

00:29:28.680 is beneficial,

00:29:30.060 but would really

00:29:31.160 have you give up

00:29:31.940 many of the beneficial

00:29:33.440 and I dare say

00:29:34.240 basic necessities

00:29:35.240 that you're used to

00:29:35.920 in your life,

00:29:36.440 like heating your house

00:29:37.580 or driving a vehicle

00:29:38.620 that runs on fossil fuels.

00:29:40.580 Now, and in order

00:29:41.360 to uphold their dystopian

00:29:42.640 version of what they

00:29:43.420 would have our society

00:29:44.320 look like,

00:29:45.200 today's video will be

00:29:46.100 all about AI

00:29:46.900 and a few ways

00:29:47.820 that artificial intelligence

00:29:48.980 will impact society

00:29:50.200 in our near future.

00:29:51.340 Starting with ChatGPT,

00:29:52.960 which is currently

00:29:53.560 one of the world's

00:29:54.300 most powerful language

00:29:55.340 processing AI models

00:29:56.700 to date,

00:29:57.320 if not the most.

00:29:58.960 Now, the most popular feature

00:30:00.200 is its highly capable

00:30:01.320 chatbot,

00:30:02.360 which to try and simplify

00:30:03.440 this chatbot's incredible

00:30:05.020 ability to mimic

00:30:06.160 human language.

00:30:07.280 I've personally seen

00:30:08.120 examples of this AI's

00:30:09.320 ability to write poems

00:30:10.540 and satire.

00:30:11.600 Its capabilities

00:30:12.240 are seemingly endless,

00:30:13.660 with ChatGPT being able

00:30:15.040 to take on even more

00:30:16.460 sophisticated and complex

00:30:17.740 topics,

00:30:18.620 from things like

00:30:19.720 quantum mechanics

00:30:20.400 to writing long,

00:30:21.280 detailed oriented essays,

00:30:22.680 regardless of the

00:30:23.580 challenging prompts

00:30:24.380 that you give it.

00:30:25.840 Now, in essence,

00:30:26.820 this AI breaks down

00:30:27.800 and digests whatever

00:30:28.620 you give it

00:30:29.240 and answers it

00:30:30.040 at an inhuman rate.

00:30:31.660 But it's not all

00:30:32.540 sunshine and rainbows,

00:30:34.140 according to

00:30:34.740 Renewable Energy Magazine,

00:30:36.560 in an article that

00:30:37.280 provides the reader

00:30:38.080 with the supposed

00:30:39.020 top five ways

00:30:40.120 that AI is improving

00:30:41.140 energy capabilities,

00:30:43.060 sitting at number two

00:30:43.900 reads,

00:30:44.380 reduce energy waste.

00:30:46.260 Now here,

00:30:46.620 take a look at this.

00:30:47.860 The article then

00:30:48.520 proceeds to list

00:30:49.280 all the top ways

00:30:50.080 that AI has the potential

00:30:51.360 to automate

00:30:52.140 so-called smart grids,

00:30:53.820 which are said

00:30:54.560 to replace our current

00:30:55.580 energy grids

00:30:56.260 in the near future

00:30:57.040 if certain green

00:30:58.240 initiatives brought

00:30:59.580 forward by the WEF

00:31:00.920 are met.

00:31:01.600 So naturally,

00:31:03.080 if I can conceptualize

00:31:04.580 how AI can potentially

00:31:05.620 be beneficial,

00:31:06.660 then surely there

00:31:07.240 must be a downside,

00:31:08.300 right?

00:31:08.700 We'll start with

00:31:09.280 how our environment

00:31:10.060 is affected by

00:31:10.920 the heinous energy

00:31:11.760 demands these machines

00:31:12.840 take to be able

00:31:13.760 to run.

00:31:14.200 A study from 2019

00:31:15.660 produced by the

00:31:16.560 College of Information

00:31:17.460 and Computer Sciences

00:31:18.500 Department from

00:31:19.280 the University of

00:31:20.200 Massachusetts revealed

00:31:21.600 that in order to

00:31:22.360 just train this one

00:31:23.600 AI, namely a

00:31:24.840 deep learning and

00:31:25.560 natural language

00:31:26.340 processing AI,

00:31:27.620 or NLP for short,

00:31:29.140 produces around

00:31:30.300 300,000 kilograms

00:31:31.800 of CO2.

00:31:33.300 And to break that

00:31:33.900 down further,

00:31:34.520 that's a carbon

00:31:35.060 footprint equal to

00:31:36.080 five times the

00:31:36.860 lifetime emissions

00:31:37.620 produced from a

00:31:38.700 single average

00:31:39.320 American car.

00:31:40.900 That's massive.

00:31:41.960 Another crazy example

00:31:43.160 would be that those

00:31:44.240 emissions roughly

00:31:45.060 translate to the

00:31:46.560 equivalent of,

00:31:47.460 get this,

00:31:48.200 125 round-trip

00:31:49.760 flights from New

00:31:50.600 York City in the

00:31:51.340 United States to

00:31:52.340 Beijing, China.

00:31:53.620 But it doesn't

00:31:54.460 stop there.

00:31:55.000 In a previous video

00:31:56.100 I did, where I

00:31:57.160 provided a breakdown

00:31:58.120 as to why

00:31:58.680 Switzerland would be 0.96

00:31:59.520 putting a ban on

00:32:00.260 electric vehicles

00:32:01.100 this winter in order

00:32:02.440 to reasonably sustain

00:32:03.700 their electricity

00:32:04.420 grids, I gave

00:32:05.560 reference to the

00:32:06.280 many ways

00:32:06.840 manufacturing metals

00:32:08.300 and materials like

00:32:09.180 cobalt and lithium,

00:32:10.360 which are used to

00:32:11.020 construct batteries

00:32:11.860 for electrical

00:32:12.560 vehicles, all demand

00:32:13.920 the use of

00:32:14.500 equipment, like

00:32:15.480 vehicles and

00:32:16.120 high-powered tools

00:32:16.920 to name a few,

00:32:18.080 that all run on

00:32:18.960 fossil fuels.

00:32:19.940 So from the very

00:32:20.580 beginning stages of

00:32:21.460 mining to the end

00:32:22.520 stages of transporting

00:32:23.520 these goods,

00:32:24.080 fossil fuels are

00:32:25.360 an integral part

00:32:26.400 of this process.

00:32:27.620 And the same goes

00:32:28.260 for the large data

00:32:29.020 infrastructures that

00:32:29.920 need to be built

00:32:30.600 first to run

00:32:31.720 these high-powered

00:32:32.420 AI machines.

00:32:33.700 This again entails

00:32:34.660 the mining and

00:32:35.640 transportation of

00:32:36.400 materials, which

00:32:37.460 again, all require

00:32:39.040 fossil fuels in order

00:32:40.280 to be completed.

00:32:41.780 Naturally, this isn't

00:32:43.220 the first time OpenAI

00:32:44.280 has successfully

00:32:45.140 developed a program

00:32:46.260 that would take over 0.58

00:32:47.080 the internet in a

00:32:48.100 storm.

00:32:49.380 Another AI success

00:32:50.700 is DALI.

00:32:51.940 Similar to the

00:32:52.740 other popular AI

00:32:53.820 run image-generating

00:32:54.900 app called

00:32:55.480 Lenza, which you

00:32:56.720 may have seen

00:32:57.280 recently in a trend

00:32:59.020 that has taken over

00:32:59.960 the internet with

00:33:00.700 gorgeous but sometimes

00:33:02.000 creepy AI-generated

00:33:03.160 art, the Lenza app

00:33:04.340 takes normal pictures

00:33:05.420 supplied by you, of

00:33:07.020 you, or any one of

00:33:07.960 your choosing, and

00:33:08.980 turns them into AI-

00:33:10.060 generated works of

00:33:10.980 art.

00:33:11.700 And this is done by

00:33:12.700 using Prisma's AI,

00:33:14.180 which has learned its

00:33:15.300 various forms of

00:33:16.120 painting and art

00:33:16.840 techniques from real

00:33:17.720 life artists.

00:33:18.520 Some of these artists

00:33:19.260 have even claimed this

00:33:20.360 to be a form of

00:33:21.200 theft, since it does

00:33:22.480 take a human many

00:33:23.340 years of mastery to

00:33:24.380 produce what this AI

00:33:25.680 does in seconds.

00:33:27.020 Now, that might not

00:33:27.580 sound all bothersome to

00:33:28.920 most people.

00:33:30.080 To give a little bit

00:33:30.760 of a background,

00:33:31.600 Prisma Labs, which is

00:33:32.680 the Russian-built and

00:33:33.540 owned parent company

00:33:34.420 founded in 2016 by

00:33:35.920 Alexey Moizenkov, and

00:33:37.380 a team of Russian

00:33:38.280 developers, are very

00:33:39.740 good at what they do.

00:33:41.100 Now, just a little food

00:33:42.280 for thought, folks.

00:33:43.420 I was curious myself,

00:33:44.580 so I took a sneak

00:33:45.360 peek at Prisma's terms

00:33:46.520 and conditions.

00:33:47.480 Lenza and company owns

00:33:48.600 the right to your

00:33:49.280 facial metric and any

00:33:50.360 digital artwork made

00:33:51.580 from you by choosing

00:33:53.060 to use this seemingly

00:33:54.020 innocent, fun, and

00:33:55.100 innovative filter over

00:33:56.240 your real-life selfies.

00:33:57.640 If information is

00:33:58.520 power, folks, then

00:33:59.380 surely the information

00:34:00.320 you give up is power

00:34:01.880 over you.

00:34:03.000 Who knew the impending

00:34:04.020 Terminator takedown would

00:34:05.320 start with replicating

00:34:06.240 art and the mimicry of

00:34:08.080 human language arts?

00:34:09.700 For Rebel News, this

00:34:10.920 was Celine Gallus.

00:34:11.820 She's will be
