Summary
Cary-Luc Lemieux is a high school shop teacher in Halton, Ontario, Canada. He's been in the job for a little over a year, and in that time, he's become a bit of a media darling. And now, it's been revealed that he's not only not wearing a bra, but he's also transitioning from male to female.
Transcript
00:00:00.000
Tonight, busted. We recently proved that Cary-Luc Lemieux's breasts are not real.
0.98
00:00:07.540
So the question arises, will the school board do the right thing and fire this pervy shop teacher?
00:00:14.660
Or will they continue to pay him to simply stay at home and do nothing?
00:00:20.660
It's Wednesday, April 12th, 2023. I'm David Menzies and this is the Ezra Levent Show.
00:00:42.180
Well, as the saying goes, the jig is up, or at least the jig should be up.
00:00:48.340
But when it comes to dealing with school boards that are equal parts woke and cowardly, who knows?
00:00:55.200
I speak, of course, of the most infamous shop teacher on planet Earth.
00:01:00.020
That would be Cary-Luc Lemieux, a.k.a. Kayla Lemieux, a.k.a. Busty Lemieux.
00:01:05.580
As most of the world knows, when this dude first showed up for shop class last September at Oakville Trafalgar High School,
00:01:13.480
there were a couple of things that were, oh, a wee bit different about him.
00:01:18.660
Namely, those enormous fake Z-cut breasts.
1.00
00:01:22.000
Cary was now identifying as Kayla and was allegedly transitioning from male to female.
00:01:31.120
You see, how many male to female transgendered folk choose to strap on made-in-China boobs
0.94
00:01:37.820
that make Pamela Anderson look flat-chested by comparison?
1.00
00:01:50.520
Yeah, that's because a man wanting to resemble a woman is not going out of his way to look like a grotesque caricature of a female.
00:02:00.380
Rather, the idea is to blend in with the opposite sex by doing his very best to look like a du-rigueur woman.
0.98
00:02:12.340
Alas, Lemieux was sporting an ensemble that would make even a veteran drag queen blush.
0.96
00:02:19.780
In terms of haberdashery, Burlington's Boobzilla was teaching high school kids, in other words, minors,
00:02:27.700
while clad in a clingy blouse with nipples the size of erasers protruding through the fabric.
00:02:34.060
Now, call me a prude, label me a square, but I think that's a little bit inappropriate.
00:02:41.960
Students were shocked by this wannabe drag queen.
1.00
00:02:46.000
But when it came to those in managerial positions above Lemieux, from Oakville Trafalgar principal Meredith Camisuli, she, her,
00:02:55.860
and all of the woke joke educrats employed at the Halton District School Board,
00:03:01.700
well, apparently perversity is diversity these days.
00:03:05.880
And besides, in today's spirit unicorn society, it would be so offside for the supposed adults in the room to tell Lemieux to remove those gender-affirming fake boobs,
0.90
00:03:20.520
or, for that matter, even abide by a dress code.
00:03:24.600
Even though the HDSB has a dress code for students and even for Halloween costumes, it does not exist for the teachers.
00:03:34.720
So it was little wonder that a couple of months ago, the HDSB educrats breathed the collective sigh of relief.
00:03:43.960
You see, folks, Lemieux consented to an interview with journalists from the New York Post.
00:03:52.320
Namely, it was impossible for him to do anything about those breasts because, contrary to popular belief,
00:03:59.540
those Zed cup boobs are not drag queen props, but they are real McCoy mammary glands.
1.00
00:04:08.080
As for not wearing a bra, so as to conceal those ever-a-wrecked nipples, Lemieux had an answer for that, too.
00:04:16.700
And it could be found on his Twitter account, real underscore Kayla underscore L.
00:04:23.120
By the way, visiting this account is akin to descending into madness, folks.
00:04:29.400
Indeed, I originally thought it was a parody account, but I'm pretty sure it belongs to Lemieux.
00:04:40.940
Anyway, here's what he had to say about brassieres.
00:04:45.400
A year ago, due to constantly needing to buy new bras and the discomfort they brought to me while wearing them,
00:04:55.960
I am much more comfortable this way, and the choice to wear or not is individual.
00:05:07.340
In any event, the rubes down at the HDSB were overjoyed by this information.
0.94
00:05:12.400
You know that Lemieux's breasts are real because it cleared them from doing anything about it.
1.00
00:05:19.800
You see, it would go against human rights legislation to even suggest that he wear a bra
00:05:25.600
because that would cause discomfort for the HDSB.
00:05:31.220
Going on a jihad against Lemieux would be akin to discriminating against a teacher confined to a wheelchair.
00:05:37.920
Indeed, according to Lemieux, he has a very rare medical condition, which only afflicts biological woman, by the way, but never mind.
00:05:49.160
And allegedly, he started to develop those boobs at the age of 39.
00:05:55.320
And those breasts went from molehills to mountains in record time.
1.00
00:06:12.760
Check out our encounter with Lemieux just a few days ago at Mapleview Mall in Burlington, Ontario.
00:06:30.480
Why are you dressing inappropriately in front of children?
00:06:38.880
He didn't even have the guts to come back to his car.
00:06:43.380
He called an Uber, and he's skedaddled, well, who knows where.
00:06:48.420
I guess he's got to come back for his car at some point.
00:06:51.000
Maybe he's going to have it towed to his condo.
00:06:56.480
But Lemieux, I thought you told the world via the New York Post and the Toronto Sun that those were real mammary glands.
00:07:09.720
And he hated being exposed like that, which is why I am now blocked on his Twitter feed, by the way.
00:07:17.840
But those Zed Cups are surely more fake than a stack of $3 bills.
00:07:24.200
Or maybe Lemieux had those boobs amputated, in which case he has certainly made a remarkably quick recovery.
00:07:32.680
He's a modern medical miracle, no matter how you slice it, isn't he?
00:07:37.320
So now that the jig is up, that Lemieux has been exposed as a fraudster, what is Oatville Trafalgar principal Meredith Camisuli-She-Her going to do about this?
00:07:50.440
Alas, Miss Camisuli-She-Her is AWOL at the moment.
0.99
00:07:56.160
Apparently, her school morphing into an international laughingstock was too much for this woke principal to endure.
00:08:03.380
I phoned to speak with She-Her's replacement, Steve Oliver.
00:08:10.200
And the receptionist at Oatville Trafalgar, well, they're just so rude.
1.00
00:08:15.820
They're always slamming down the phone on curious journalists or concerned parents,
00:08:20.780
as though we're trying to sell them air duct cleaning services or something.
00:08:38.360
Yes, because I understand he's the acting principal.
00:08:45.000
My name is David Menzies with Rebel News, and I was just wondering what the school was planning
00:08:52.580
to do with Mr. Lemieux now that the news has broken that his breasts are not real, contrary
00:09:06.340
I also reached out to HDSB trustee Dr. Margaret Shuttleworth.
00:09:13.140
She couldn't offer any tangible information, despite the video evidence.
00:09:17.740
So she passed the buck, suggesting I talk to the HDSB's human resources head honcho.
00:09:25.580
I left a message with Taha's assistant, but shockers, no callback.
00:09:32.720
I then emailed the media relations staff of Education Minister Stephen Lecce.
00:09:37.680
Do you know, folks, one of those spokesthingies is named Brahman?
0.99
00:09:47.540
But Brahman and the other government flax declined to comment, so I contacted Minister
00:09:56.640
He resembles a professional wrestling referee these days, thanks to the Lemieux scandal,
00:10:01.980
which is to say he's a toothless tiger, constantly lecturing the school board, but to no avail.
00:10:08.920
It's like, you know, listen, HDSB, I've warned you 13 times now to implement a dress code for
00:10:15.160
teachers, and if you don't do so, I'm going to warn you a 14th time.
00:10:20.180
Anyway, here are my four unanswered queries to the milquetoast minister.
00:10:27.440
One, what do you plan to do with this information, namely that Lemieux lied about his mammary gland
00:10:36.040
Two, will you request that the Halton District School Board address the current situation,
00:10:41.040
in other words, paying a teacher to stay at home based on a fraudulent premise?
00:10:48.580
Three, going back to the beginning of the controversy, why were you unable to have the HDSB adopt a dress code
00:10:58.140
It has one for students and even Halloween costumes.
00:11:00.880
And four, did you ever consider disbanding the HDSB?
00:11:10.400
I guess Lecce has better things to do, like researching cherry cheesecake recipes for his boss
00:11:19.120
As for the HDSB, this could very well be Canada's worst school board.
00:11:26.180
And I know that's saying something, given how many crackpot school boards are operating in
00:11:34.800
After all, even though Canada's top labor lawyers have told the board it can implement a dress
0.93
00:11:41.780
code for staff, the HDSB still stubbornly refuses to do so.
00:11:48.940
Indeed, if a biological girl at Oakville Trafalgar dressed like Lemieux, she wouldn't be protected.
0.93
00:11:58.340
But trans people, even phony baloney trans people, well, they're special when it comes
1.00
00:12:07.100
And over the last few months, as international press coverage and parental anger mounted,
00:12:13.940
the HDSB implemented Plan B, which was to move Lemieux around to other schools in Halton,
00:12:19.960
you know, whack-a-mole style, hoping nobody would notice or complain about his fake silicon
00:12:28.980
Yeah, these educrats are really that stupid, folks.
0.93
00:12:33.540
Predictably, that strategy failed in a spectacular fashion.
00:12:37.660
So the board has now implemented Plan C, which is to simply pay Lemieux his full salary and
00:12:46.900
You know, whoever coined the phrase, crime does not pay, deserves to be pulverized.
00:12:53.060
By the way, you know what the HDSB could have done?
00:12:57.260
They could have hired a private detective to expose Lemieux while in breast-free mode, you
1.00
00:13:05.640
Because I believe lying to your employer is cause for dismissal.
00:13:10.520
And even though we provided the HDSB with video evidence on the house, so to speak, this woke joke
00:13:29.940
Are they still worried about being deemed transphobic?
00:13:33.960
Even though Lemieux also told the New York Post that he is not trans.
00:13:44.640
Yet, why would any union go to bat for someone who is a grifter slash sexual deviant?
00:13:54.540
Oh, and by the way, for those of you in social media stating that we have it all wrong, that
00:14:01.240
Lemieux is not a pervert, but that he is a prankster taking a shot at wokeness, I'm afraid
00:14:10.840
Check out these photographs Rebel News acquired just yesterday.
00:14:15.280
The thing is, folks, these pictures were taken almost six years ago.
00:14:25.020
This is all about a man beholden to some bizarre sexual fetish.
00:14:30.380
And I wouldn't give a tinker's damn about Lemieux embracing the whole Mrs. Dress-Up shtick,
00:14:37.840
except when it comes to doing so, as a teacher who is in close contact with minors, those kids
00:14:48.260
Especially now, especially when we have conclusive evidence that Lemieux is a lying liar, a gratuitous
00:14:59.600
So please explain to me, yet again, why the board is paying this man a full salary to stay
00:15:09.320
Rather, this is the HDSB rewarding bad behavior.
00:15:15.740
So in the final analysis, the question arises, who is the real villain here?
00:15:21.580
Is it a shop teacher who might be suffering from mental illness or sexual perversion?
00:15:27.080
Or is it a taxpayer-funded public school board that is acting as an enabler that refuses to do
00:15:38.200
And again, I pose a question that I've been asking for a good two decades now, folks.
00:15:44.140
Why is it that so many people who are entrusted with educating our kids seem to be amongst the
1.00
00:15:56.820
From Disney to Budweiser, there is no shortage of painfully leftist woke companies to avoid
00:16:17.280
Alas, if only there was a book out there that would provide a comprehensive rundown of non-woke
00:16:27.780
Well, I think I just misspoke, folks, because there is indeed such a book available for purchase
00:16:34.200
right now, and it's entitled The Great Patriot Buy-Cot Book, subtitled The Great Conservative
00:16:45.720
It's co-written by Wayne Allen Root and Nikki Ballou, and Mr. Ballou joins me right now.
00:16:57.160
As they say, what prompted you to write this book in the first place?
00:17:01.400
Well, you know, the evil left has been marching through all the major institutions of most of
00:17:07.000
the major Western democracies, Canada, United States included, right?
00:17:11.280
And I started to really become concerned when I started to see corporations become infected
00:17:17.940
with the woke virus, when they started parroting the lines that I used to hear from, you know,
00:17:23.820
university professors and crazy people in schools.
00:17:26.860
And I thought, whoa, whoa, whoa, we can't have this.
00:17:28.860
So, originally, I teamed up with Wayne, who's a famous American talk show host.
00:17:36.320
And he's interviewed Donald Trump 11 times on his shows.
00:17:39.560
It's claimed the fame as nobody else has interviewed Donald Trump that many times.
00:17:42.880
Yeah, so I said to him, look, you've written a whole bunch of bestselling books.
00:17:47.320
Why don't we team up and write a list of companies that are woke and tell people,
00:17:52.900
Let's give them the emails and social media handles of all the key executives so they could
00:18:00.720
It was a number one bestseller on a whole bunch of categories on Amazon.
00:18:05.860
In no small part, due to the efforts of our readers, those woke companies lost over a trillion
00:18:13.560
And, you know, it couldn't be more timely, Nikki, this book, because Bud Light is very
00:18:20.740
They launched what's turned out to be an absolutely disastrous marketing campaign.
00:18:25.600
And, in fact, before we talk about that, let's just throw to this clip.
00:18:29.460
This is the Bud Light director of marketing explaining the need to go with a transgender woman
1.00
00:18:42.640
My name is David Menzies, and I'm with Rebel News.
00:18:46.320
And I'm just hoping to speak to a spokesperson about these Bud Light cans.
00:18:59.280
And I was just trying to find out what these words are, how you pronounce them, you know,
00:19:18.380
Yeah, if there's nobody here today that's able to talk to you, so if we could grab some contact
00:19:23.980
information from you, we'll have somebody from corporate affairs reach out.
00:19:27.520
Oh, okay, just to let you know, I called the number on the can, and it said that the call
00:19:33.460
sender has been transitioned to digital, and I did send an email to the Budweiser.com site
00:19:49.620
I'm not sure I could be of any help to you, but like I said before, we could get you in
00:19:53.700
contact with corporate, and that's probably your best bet.
00:19:56.240
Oh, okay, so nobody at Labatt knows what these, I think they're pronouns.
00:20:01.180
I'm a security guard, so I'm actually not able to help with any of that, but we could probably
00:20:05.540
get corporate to reach out to you, and they can talk to you regarding all that.
00:20:08.640
Oh, okay then, and because I mean, there's they, them, she, her, he, him, I get that.
00:20:14.780
I don't know why you'd use them both in the, you know, the context of the same sentence,
00:20:19.620
but these other ones, like X-E and Z-I-R, S-I-E, I looked it up in the dictionary.
00:20:28.600
Are these actually real words, or are they made-up words?
00:20:31.740
I'm not sure what your question is, but like I said, you can get in contact with corporate
00:20:35.400
with this contact information that you've given us, and they can reach out to you, but
00:20:39.400
unfortunately, I can't answer any of your questions.
00:20:42.820
Not even the people here at Labatt know what these crazy pronouns mean, or even how to
00:20:51.960
The fellow at security said somebody from corporate is going to get back in touch with
00:20:59.620
In the meantime, I just wonder what this can of Bud Light tastes like.
00:21:20.180
Now, Nikki, in the aftermath, I see by the headlines of today, Anheuser-Busch loses more
00:21:26.940
than $5 billion in value amid Dylan Mulvaney Bud Light controversy.
00:21:34.180
Nikki, this is a case, clearly, of Bud Light and the people that shepherd that brand not
00:21:45.540
You know, she speaks disparagingly of frat boys.
00:21:48.100
Those are the people buying cases and cases every weekend for their frat parties.
00:21:54.940
Honestly, it was really upsetting for us because, you know, when we wrote the Buy Cop book, we
00:22:01.480
wrote it as an answer because it wasn't enough just to tell people don't spend money to these
00:22:05.800
Now you've got to start spending money with the patriotic companies.
00:22:07.980
And we included Anheuser-Busch in the list of patriotic companies because they've traditionally
00:22:14.200
In 2020, they gave a ton of money to Republican candidates, including Donald Trump for president.
00:22:23.300
The Bush family in Missouri has always been a deeply conservative German background family.
00:22:28.740
But some of the executives deeper down into the organization have been these younger woke
00:22:36.840
And one of them decided to hire this woman who thought, okay, you know what?
00:22:49.140
I had a really clear job to do when I took over Bud Light.
00:22:57.380
And if we do not attract young drinkers to come and drink this brand, there will be no
00:23:06.120
It's like, we need to evolve and elevate this incredibly iconic brand.
00:23:11.020
And what I brought to that was a belief in, okay, what does evolve and elevate mean?
00:23:21.460
It means having a campaign that's truly inclusive and feels lighter and brighter and different
00:23:31.200
And representation is at sort of the heart of evolution.
00:23:34.140
You've got to see people who reflect you in the work.
00:23:38.880
Bud Light had been kind of a brand of fratty, kind of out-of-touch humor.
00:23:48.000
And it was really important that we had another approach.
00:23:52.520
And it's like, remember back in the day when Coke came out with New Coke?
00:24:00.480
But Coke was smart enough to see that New Coke's tanking.
00:24:06.420
So they backed away from New Coke and brought back Classic Coke.
00:24:09.820
Right now, what Bud needs to do is they need to go and say,
00:24:20.740
If they don't do that, they'll never be back in the next edition of the book.
00:24:23.640
And by the way, we're taking them out of the book right now.
00:24:25.580
We're replacing them with a company called Old Glory Bank, which is a conservative anti-cancel
00:24:38.860
So is Dr. Ben Carson, who was Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under Donald Trump.
00:24:43.220
But the truth of the matter is, this has proven once again that if you go woke, you're going
00:24:56.020
And Bud Light, I understand, is the number one selling beer in the USA overtaking a few
00:25:06.220
But not to dwell on it too much, but how did Anheuser-Busch get infected by the woke virus,
00:25:14.840
Honestly, I can't tell you I've got any inside information, but I can tell you what's been
00:25:20.220
The CEOs, who tend to be older folks, kind of around my age and older, said, you know
00:25:25.920
We need to bring in some new young blood to relate to the younger folks.
0.97
00:25:31.520
And that's a good idea, except you don't want to bring in woke people into your organization.
00:25:38.060
Because if you do that, what they're going to try and do is take away everything good
00:25:42.280
about your brand, everything American about your brand or Canadian in Canada about your brand,
00:25:46.400
and try to replace it with this Marxist, Soviet, Maoist crap that has zero appeal to people.
00:25:56.060
And I want to double back to the whole Marxist theory, too, because I think you're onto something.
00:26:00.560
I think right now, whether you're in the banking business or the beer business, these are competitive
00:26:05.680
And I think these corporatists, what they think is we should have a manager of diversity
00:26:15.460
They're the people that are bringing out all this woke stuff.
00:26:18.680
Because if we have that person and if we do these woke campaigns, the woke mob won't target
00:26:28.940
Is that what's at the root of these major Fortune 500 companies going woke in the first
00:26:37.020
Major corporations have always been driven by greed and fear.
00:26:43.060
They want to make a lot of money and they're scared.
00:26:47.560
But Jesse Waters of Fox News had an interesting comment.
00:26:52.000
He said that back in the 80s and 90s, there were still these crank letter writing campaigns
00:26:59.300
So the CEO never saw it and he never knew there was an issue.
00:27:02.520
Now with social media, people can program a bot to send 200 nasty messages to a CEO and
00:27:08.040
he freaks out and he thinks everybody hates our company.
00:27:13.060
You know, I'm actually going to create a consulting company along with Wayne Allen Root
00:27:16.480
to consult with these scared Fortune 500 companies and de-woke-ify them.
00:27:20.940
It's going to be called Baloo and Root Associates, de-woke-ifiers of the Fortune 500.
0.89
00:27:27.180
When the woke mob comes after you, revel in it.
00:27:29.900
Take them on, tell them to go screw themselves because what's going to happen is the normals
00:27:38.480
One of the companies in the book is Goya Foods.
00:27:41.040
Goya Foods, they make Spanish foods, you know, Latin foods.
00:27:45.240
And the CEO of Goya Foods came on national television during the pandemic and supported
00:27:51.340
We're all truly blessed at the same time to have a leader like President Trump, who is
00:28:00.920
He came to this country to build, to grow, to prosper.
00:28:05.320
And so we have an incredible builder and we pray.
00:28:09.540
We pray for our leadership, our president, and we pray for our country that we will continue
00:28:18.800
Well, Sandy Cortez, the congresswoman from New York, the Marxist congresswoman from New
00:28:23.800
York, she said, oh my God, let's boycott Goya Foods.
0.57
00:28:26.980
Well, funny little thing happened when the woke mob came after Goya Foods.
00:28:36.480
I am going to go through your book and highlight those companies that are committed to non-wokeness,
0.85
00:28:42.900
if that's a word, and support them with my wallet.
00:28:46.100
That's the best way to show support to a company.
00:28:48.500
You know, you said something interesting just a few minutes ago, Marxism.
00:28:52.920
And I truly believe, Nicky, that this is the driving force behind what we're seeing in
00:29:03.340
And that is Marxists, their game plan is to tear society down and then build it up as a
00:29:11.000
Marxist utopia, which never happens, of course.
00:29:14.780
If I told you 10 years ago, no, five years ago, Nicky, that there will be a Supreme Court
00:29:21.160
judge, a female, who will not be able to define the word woman, I bet you would have bet your
1.00
00:29:28.900
So it's kind of funny in a way the Bud Light marketing genius describes herself as a businesswoman,
00:29:34.360
because I think the first thing I would say to that is, what's a businesswoman?
0.99
00:29:49.160
It's just, you know, 39 years late, as they say.
00:29:52.180
Those of us that believe in freedom, those of us that believe in the promise of Canada
00:29:58.740
and the promise of America and the promise of democracy need to understand that these
00:30:04.800
folks out there, they're not your grandfather's Democrats or your grandfather's liberal party.
00:30:14.640
Whether we like it or not, we're engaged in a cold civil war with these people.
00:30:18.780
We can't treat them like they're one of us because they're not.
00:30:23.440
We need to fight and beat them at the ballot box.
00:30:26.320
We need to fight and beat them with our dollars.
00:30:29.580
And the best thing about having a book like this, right, the Great Patriot Bicot book,
00:30:35.140
is that you can do something about it right away.
00:30:39.240
Just imagine in North America, Canada and the United States, if we had 100 million people,
00:30:46.140
the normals, decide that, you know what, I'm going to stop spending money with Disney.
00:30:52.980
I'm going to stop spending money with Anheuser-Busch unless they reform themselves right now.
00:30:56.760
And companies of that ilk, I'm going to start spending money with Yangling Beer,
00:31:00.620
the oldest non-woke beer company in North America.
00:31:04.620
I'm going to start spending money with In-N-Out Burger in the U.S.
00:31:08.500
I'm going to start spending money supporting organizations like Rebel News, right?
00:31:14.760
If they each just take $10,000 of their consumer spending and shift it, whoosh.
00:31:25.600
And you know what these scared folks that run these big companies are going to do?
00:31:29.980
You just got to show them who to be more scared of.
00:31:34.140
I'm just wondering, when it comes to supporting non-woke companies,
00:31:38.760
in certain cases, do consumers have to make a sacrifice?
00:31:42.120
And by that, I mean, until a few years ago, I used to buy Gillette products.
00:31:49.960
And then they came out with the toxic masculinity campaign.
1.00
00:31:53.420
And then they came out with a father and his woman-to-man trans son having a shave.
00:32:01.000
And it was just so much of this leftist, wokest stuff that I couldn't take it.
00:32:05.580
And what I'm getting at is that the companies that you highlight in your book,
00:32:14.780
Are these quality products that they are making?
00:32:21.920
There's a lot of companies that probably ought to have been in the book that just didn't make it.
00:32:26.600
We're asking that if you own a company and you think you should be in the book,
00:32:39.720
When they released the toxic masculinity, I threw out all my Gillette products.
00:32:45.860
And, you know, then Harry's went a little bit woke.
00:32:48.340
I grew a beard, so I grew a beard, so I'm not using a razor right now anymore.
00:32:53.840
Should I grow a beard now so I avoid any mistakes with razor companies?
00:32:57.340
But there is a great conservative razor company called Jeremy's Razors.
00:33:02.080
And I think it's Jeremy is one of the founders of The Daily Wire.
00:33:07.500
And Harry's decided to stop advertising on The Daily Wire because of woke pressure.
00:33:21.320
I'll make sure they're a future edition of the book.
00:33:23.420
But there's lots of great companies like that that are in the book.
00:33:30.500
We use something we call a freedom scale in the book.
00:33:36.560
I'll just quickly run down through them with you right now.
00:33:41.140
Does a company stick to business or are they virtue signaling?
00:33:46.240
They give money to the wokest causes and candidates or to the patriotic ones.
00:33:52.240
Is there a workplace culture, one that respects freedom?
00:33:54.800
Or is it one that forces speech codes on people?
00:33:59.860
Is the marketing messaging the company has pro-freedom, pro-America, pro-Canada?
00:34:04.060
Or is it heinously woke, anti-human, and pro-scarcity?
00:34:10.960
Do they hire the best man or woman for the job?
1.00
00:34:15.740
And number six, commitment to freedom in society.
00:34:17.740
Do they have a proud belief in American-Canadian values?
00:34:24.020
Or have they been frightened into telling the world client?
00:34:27.880
And of course, you provide so many examples of companies that live up to those six points,
00:34:35.060
So I guess, you know, we're almost out of time.
00:34:39.240
We've seen, you know, the bottom line when it comes to a company is the bottom line.
00:34:44.360
And I'm telling you, $5 billion U.S. in lost value because of this ludicrous transgender
1.00
00:34:51.200
Do you think that has sent a signal to other companies that, whoa, hold your horses?
00:34:56.900
Maybe we shouldn't go ahead with some kind of woke campaign.
00:35:02.780
And secondly, if you're looking at the crystal ball, Nikki, what do you see Anheuser-Busch
00:35:08.420
doing in the days ahead to reclaim this lost market share?
00:35:18.140
If they see a sincere apology being issued, that might right this sinking ship in terms of
00:35:30.420
If they were, if they'd hired me to advise them, I'd tell them to fire the marketing team
00:35:36.640
Every single one of them immediately hire a new marketing team that understands who their
00:35:41.520
core customer is and come back with messaging that speaks to their core customer.
00:35:45.960
And I would have the CEO of the company get out publicly on a video and apologize for what
00:35:51.240
they did and say, look, we aren't here to, you know, denigrate our own customer base.
00:35:58.040
And we apologize for bringing messaging that's inappropriate to you.
00:36:03.760
But that doesn't mean that we, you know, support causes that are antithetical to the values that
00:36:15.140
I don't know if they will do it, but I strongly advise them to do it.
00:36:18.320
Well, I'll tell you, Nick, I think that is six or seven figures of free good advice you're
00:36:23.160
And I always look back at the tainted Tylenol scandal.
00:36:26.840
You recall in the early 80s in the Chicago area, people were dying from poison Tylenol.
00:36:31.480
And the betting was that no matter what happens, they never did find the culprit, but the betting
00:36:44.140
Tylenol came out and apologized for this, even though it wasn't their fault.
00:36:52.200
And I can tell you right now, Tylenol's market share in 2023 is greater than it was in the
00:36:59.980
So like I said, if you're honest and you make a sincere apology, and I think that's
00:37:05.040
what Anheuser-Busch has to do, because what the hell did they expect was going to happen
00:37:09.340
when you target your audience of a hardcore frat boys and prop up a man pretending to be
00:37:26.120
If you want to know anything in the consumer-verse to purchase in terms of a non-woke company,
00:37:41.860
But Amazon, unlike the New York Times, Amazon will sell conservative books, and they won't
00:37:48.420
throttle conservative books from getting up there.
00:37:50.800
So if you're not thrilled about all the things that Amazon's all about, you don't have to
00:37:54.280
buy everything that they do, but buy conservative books from Amazon, 100%.
00:37:58.120
That might send Amazon a message, hey, start changing some of your behavior.
00:38:02.680
Thank you so much, Nicky, and good luck with the book.
00:38:05.940
Well, folks, Ezra Levent's monologue yesterday was on the disgraced Trudeau Foundation, and
00:38:26.540
Again, the dope says no connection to him, but he has family members on the board.
00:38:38.440
I'm quite certain they are paid quite well for their time in one way or another.
00:38:45.120
A forensic audit needs to take place now, not six months from now.
00:38:53.360
Hey, or maybe Gord, how about getting yet another special rapporteur, but hopefully not this time
00:39:04.840
It is likely that the Trudeau liberals are not a party, but a criminal organization.
00:39:11.960
So far, all crimes have been made up as ethics violations, when in many other countries,
00:39:32.700
He won in 2015, when he was basically an unknown entity.
00:39:41.860
If he wins again, I have grave concern for the future of our beloved dominion.
00:39:47.940
Well, folks, that wraps up tonight's edition of the Ezreal Event Show.
