Hi, everybody. Fun show today, if I do say so myself. First of all, I interview a new rebel
00:00:05.920
freelancer who I think is doing great, and hopefully we'll see a lot more of. Her name is
00:00:10.420
Emma, and she's covering the UK migration protest beat. We'll talk to her about her background and
00:00:16.860
what she wants to do. And I also want to tell you my monologue about an incredible story in the
00:00:22.700
Canadian Press Newswire that calls the US State Department Orwellian for being concerned about
00:00:29.540
free speech here in Canada. They literally say, if you care about free speech, you're Orwellian,
00:00:35.240
as opposed to the censors up here. It's crazy. I'll try and make sense of it for you. That's ahead.

Tonight, which is more Orwellian? The Canadian government that censors people, or the American
00:01:48.260
government, that complains about the Canadian government. It's August 15th, and this is the
00:02:09.340
Hey, what media company, what news outlet, do you think is the most important propaganda tool for
00:02:15.900
the Liberal Party of Canada? If you answer quickly, I bet you'd say the CBC. And in many ways,
00:02:22.080
you're right. They're larger than all other news companies in Canada combined, in terms of staff
00:02:27.800
and money. They often set the agenda for other reporters that copy them. But in terms of actual
00:02:33.800
views, you know, they don't command attention of Canadians like they used to. In the pre-internet
00:02:38.600
age, at least, there was some truth to the CBC, the idea that the CBC unified Canadians in that
00:02:45.560
they gave a single political narrative to everyone, whether you liked it or not. And if you didn't
00:02:51.240
like it, what were you going to do? That was before the internet, before talk radio was big.
00:02:55.400
So each night in Canada, since there really weren't other options, about a million people did,
00:03:01.300
in fact, tune in to the CBC's flagship news shows, like The National, with Knowlton Nash,
00:03:07.460
and then later Peter Mansbridge. I don't know if you remember those names. You have to be of a
00:03:11.340
certain vintage. Can you even name the hosts now? Do they still even publish The National?
00:03:17.000
When was the last time you watched it? Now, maybe you do. Maybe it's a hard habit for you to break,
00:03:22.660
but their viewership is so low, I don't think they even publish it anymore. It used to be a million.
00:03:28.820
Last I saw, it was about a quarter million. Imagine that, even though the country's population
00:03:33.160
has never been bigger, and their budget has never been bigger, no one watches CBC News,
00:03:39.500
at least no one under 50 years old. I think the most powerful propaganda outlet for the liberal
00:03:45.280
government may be something different, and it's funded by the government, of course.
00:03:50.540
It's called the Canadian Press. It's a newswire, which means it's a group of reporters who write
00:03:56.300
stories and make those stories available to a variety of news companies to run those stories
00:04:02.500
as if the stories were their own. It's like a national, it's like a Canadian version of Reuters
00:04:07.640
or the Associated Press. Basically, if you start your own small newspaper or website and you don't
00:04:14.280
have a budget to hire a reporter in Ottawa and in Montreal and in Vancouver and in Toronto and
00:04:19.080
anywhere else, you can subscribe to the Canadian Press and they've got you covered.
00:04:22.820
You could literally publish an entire newspaper just with their stuff, not hire a single person
00:04:29.780
of your own. I'm not sure if there are companies that do that, but it would make sense to. There's
00:04:35.100
certainly many companies that fill all the gaps of their own coverage with Canadian Press words
00:04:39.680
and pictures, or CP as it's often known, which is one reason you sometimes see the exact same story
00:04:46.980
with the exact same headline in publications that are supposedly competing with each other.
00:04:53.220
They have the same story and that's the thing, isn't it? CP, Canadian Press stories, sneak their way
00:04:59.340
into other publications and use whatever reputation those other publications have, like your local
00:05:04.760
newspaper. They use your local newspaper's reputation to whitewash the fact that CP Wire copy is probably
00:05:13.760
the most pro-liberal content in Canada. First of all, of course, they're heavily funded by the government,
00:05:20.560
but of course, I mean, here's just a small list of special grants that they've received over the last
00:05:27.360
few years from Trudeau. It just never stops. There are so many of them and those are just special grants.
00:05:33.580
There are a large number of government troughs that are like general grants that they feed from.
00:05:39.480
Let me give you one example. Here's them getting more than a million bucks for indigenous reporting,
00:05:45.740
which of course means a particular agenda, pumping up the liberal government's claims of
00:05:50.920
genocide in residential schools. So I put it to you that the Canadian Press is more dangerous than the
00:05:57.120
CBC because it hides its identity in the identity of the newspaper that publishes it. You sometimes see
00:06:03.040
those little letters CP or CP Wire, but most people don't look at that. Most people don't know what that
00:06:08.000
means. It means it's a CP story sneaking into your local newspaper. Here's an example. Here's a story
00:06:13.520
and I'm actually quoting from the Canadian Press's own website here. The story is U.S. State Department
00:06:20.360
targets online news act in human rights report. That's an interesting headline. Here's how it was
00:06:26.240
phrased on Twitter by some CP subscribers. This is City News Toronto. The U.S. State Department is taking
00:06:34.260
aim at Canada's online news act in a human rights report that criticizes press freedom in Canada,
00:06:40.340
which experts characterize Thursday as Orwellian. Okay, I'm a little bit confused because of the
00:06:48.320
grammar there. What's the Orwellian part? Is it the online news act or the U.S. human rights report?
00:06:54.340
Well, obviously it's the online news act and other censorship, but that's not how this story puts
00:07:00.000
it. It's actually ambiguous, isn't it? It's a bit confusing. Let me read the story from the city
00:07:05.080
website. You'll see what I mean immediately about this having the identical headline written by Anna
00:07:10.300
Caradiglia, the Canadian press. I'll just read it. The U.S. State Department is taking aim at Canada's
00:07:16.380
online news act in a human rights report that criticizes press freedom in Canada, which experts
00:07:21.580
characterize Thursday as Orwellian. Now, I'm thinking, oh, the Canadian censorship is what's Orwellian.
00:07:27.840
No, no, no, no, no, no. It's this, welcome to opposite day. Let me read some more. The online
00:07:33.540
news act, which requires Meta, that owns Facebook and Instagram, and Google, which owns YouTube,
00:07:39.840
to compensate news publishers for the use of their content is cited in a section of the report
00:07:44.760
covering freedom in the press. That's quite some spin. In plain English, as you may know,
00:07:50.020
the Canadian government has told Facebook and Google that they have to pay to link to news stories in
00:07:58.180
Canada. If someone types in something in the search engine and Google says, okay, click here,
00:08:03.360
they have to pay for the privilege of that. It's such a huge shakedown. It's contrary to the whole
00:08:08.040
nature of the internet, which is clicking and sharing. You don't have to pay to link to someone. In fact,
00:08:13.100
you're doing them a favor by sending them traffic. It's the reverse. News outlets pay Google, pay
00:08:20.480
Facebook, because they want people to come to their sites. Anyways, Facebook saw this for what it is,
00:08:26.940
a shakedown. They refuse to pay. And so the only way to be compliant with the law is to not link to
00:08:32.220
Canadian news stories on Facebook or Instagram, so they don't have to pay the shakedown, because
00:08:37.360
otherwise they'd be breaking the law if they link. So it's a form of censorship. Basically, the Canadian
00:08:42.080
government says, pay us a huge amount of money or don't link to Canadian news stories, so they don't
00:08:46.560
link. It's atrocious. It's awful for little companies. Okay, back to the story. Look at who the
00:08:52.340
Canadian press says the enemy is here. The U.S. is determined to crush two important pieces of Canadian
00:08:59.500
legislation, the Online News Act and the Online Streaming Act. Their end game is clear, said Fenn Hampson,
00:09:06.560
an international affairs professor at Carleton University. Who is Fenn Hampson? That's such an
00:09:11.880
interesting name. I googled him. He is the president of the World Refugee and Migration Council. That's a bit
00:09:19.380
of a weird choice to quote about media bias. That's just really weird. Let me read more in the story.
00:09:27.100
Hampson said large tech companies oppose both pieces of legislation. What we're seeing is not what I would
00:09:32.980
call honest criticism. Fenn knows if you're honest or not. It's a calculated campaign to protect big tech
00:09:39.160
profits, he said. I would say, to put it bluntly, the report takes tiny grains of truth and spins them
00:09:45.860
into a full-blown web of deception and misinformation that is perhaps worthy of George Orwell himself.
00:09:51.680
Oh my god! So the people opposing the regulation and the taxation of social media, they're like big
00:10:00.160
brother? And wouldn't you know it, the Canadian press found another professor to say the exact same
00:10:06.540
thing. What are the odds? Alfred Hermida, a professor at the University of British Columbians
00:10:11.880
Journalism School, also referred to the concept of double think from Orwell's famous political
00:10:18.060
dystopian novel 1984. Hermida said the report takes things, quote, that are actually promoting press
00:10:23.800
freedom, but presenting them in a way as if they're curtailing freedom. Got it. So opposing the
00:10:29.700
regulations, censorship, and taxation of social media, that's 1984. But the government that's doing
00:10:36.340
those things, that's actually, I'm so confused. How is taxing and regulating the internet promoting
00:10:44.100
freedom? This is so upside down. These professors are accusing the U.S. State Department of doing
00:10:51.440
precisely what they're doing. I got whipped last year. Now I thought this was interesting. Take a look
00:10:55.540
at this. The State Department took issue with a stream of that initiative, talking about government
00:11:01.700
funding, that prioritizes the hiring of diverse journalists, including those who are indigenous,
00:11:07.280
black, have disabilities, who are part of the LGBTQ community. The report claims it discriminated
00:11:13.180
against journalists who fell outside of these favored categories. So the U.S. State Department is
00:11:18.440
saying by giving money based on race or sex is discriminating to other people, which is so obviously
00:11:24.500
true. We have visible minorities working at Rebel News. I'm not going to list them or identify them
00:11:31.140
to you. That would imply their tokens. We have people of every background at Rebel News. We have
00:11:36.760
not applied for special grants for black reporters or indigenous reporters. We just haven't. We could,
00:11:43.640
I guess, and we'd receive hundreds of thousands of tax dollars if we did, but we didn't because we're
00:11:48.380
not racist freaks. But look at the Canadian press's professor, an elderly white male. You know, I, by the way,
00:11:56.480
I got nothing against elderly white male. I think I'm sort of becoming one myself. Here's what he had to
00:12:00.800
say. I'm talking about Professor Hermita. Hermita said media has, by and large, been very white and very
00:12:07.660
male, and the effort to increase diversity is attempting to correct historical harms. Hermita added,
00:12:15.380
it's really startling to see such a politicized report come out of the State Department. He described
00:12:20.680
it as a MAGA lens on press freedom in Canada. Got it. Hey, have you ever seen a white male quitting
00:12:28.920
his own job to give it to a woman of color? Or they just want other people to pay the price for their
00:12:35.520
reverse racism? Did you know, by the way, that white males, by doing journalism, have created historical
00:12:41.800
harm? I didn't know that. But then again, I'm not a student in Professor Hermita's class.
00:12:48.080
I love that line, though, MAGA press freedom. You know, it's designed to be scary, MAGA. But I sort of
00:12:55.660
like a little bit of that MAGA freedom myself, you know, the First Amendment and all that.
00:13:00.360
So by the way, who wrote this story for the Canadian press that's been reprinted across the country,
00:13:05.800
that doesn't actually quote anyone on the other side of the story? They just have two professors
00:13:10.220
condemning freedom of speech. They found two professors to use the exact same identical
00:13:17.500
language. That's quite a trick. I wonder who crafted such a news article. Why, it's Anya Caradalia,
00:13:27.020
if I'm saying her name right. She's a journalist. But here she is participating in a propaganda session
00:13:36.780
with Stephen Gilboa, the Liberal Party cabinet minister who drafted these media censorship laws.
00:13:44.460
This is through a Liberal Party think tank called Canada 2020. I thought that was weird at the time. I remember
00:13:51.040
seeing it. Since when does a reporter work at a political party function as a propagandist,
00:14:00.740
participating with the cabinet minister, and then go back to journalism the next day reporting on those
00:14:05.520
same liberal journalists. You see my point? See, when the CBC comes to lie to you, when the CBC tells you
00:14:12.780
that censorship is freedom, and freedom is censorship, when the CBC uses the word MAGA to scare you, at least
00:14:19.200
you know they're government journalists, so you know not to trust them. But when the Canadian press does the
00:14:25.820
same thing, under a hundred different names, being those subscribing newspapers across the country,
00:14:30.080
it's sneakier, isn't it? Anya Caradalia has always been running errands for the Liberal Party,
00:14:37.500
whether it's at a Liberal Party conference like Canada 2020, or now the Liberal Party's funded CP News.
00:14:44.540
Never, never, never trust them. Stay with us for more.
00:14:50.960
Oh, hi there. Did you see this video from the United Kingdom that we published a couple of days ago?
00:15:07.880
Take a look. Hello, everyone. This is Emma Dunwell reporting for Rebel News, and today I am in
00:15:13.100
Waterlooville near Portsmouth, and I'm just outside of Boots on London Street, the flats above which were
00:15:20.000
proposed by the Home Office to be used to house 35 asylum seekers. This then faced massive local
00:15:26.080
backlash that turned national, with figures like Suella Bravman calling it an inappropriate decision.
00:15:31.060
And a protest was held about two weeks ago, where about 2,000 people turned up,
00:15:35.580
calling the decision undemocratic. The Home Office, since the protest, has reversed their decision
00:15:41.560
We want to stop it! We want to stop it! We want to stop it!
00:15:50.000
Well, that's a short excerpt from a great video. I find it fascinating to see the British people
00:15:55.920
finally standing up and protesting. I had wondered when that was going to happen. I'd seen it across
00:16:01.360
the sea in Ireland, and I thought, well, what's really the difference? Because the UK is much more
00:16:07.300
progressed and advanced in mass immigration, but I think the UK has finally lost its fear of being
00:16:14.340
called names by the establishment. What I mean by that is the people going to these protests in the
00:16:19.560
hundreds and even in the thousands are no longer worried about being called far-right. That's the
00:16:25.460
insult in the UK. That would be like being called alt-right here in North America. And you see severely
00:16:31.400
normal people, ordinary people. I'm not talking about professional activists. I'm talking about
00:16:36.580
real moms and dads. Oh, there are some professional activists on the other side, NGO groups like
00:16:43.920
Stand Up to Racism or Hope Not Hate or other Antifa-affiliated groups. They are bussed in
00:16:51.200
given pre-printed signs and are the counter-protesters, but they're usually outnumbered and dispatched.
00:16:59.500
But what's exciting to me is, I mean, listen, you know me. I love going over there to cover it,
00:17:04.040
but it takes me away from work here in Canada. And it's a long journey. It's a seven-hour flight each
00:17:09.600
way. And it's not cheap either. I have to tell you, I am delighted to have found a great young
00:17:17.860
UK journalist who is just as interested in these protests as I am. And she has agreed to do
00:17:25.920
reports like the one you just saw for us from time to time. May I introduce to you Emma Dunwell,
00:17:33.840
who is a freelance journalist who's agreed to do work in this vein for Rebel News. Emma,
00:17:38.780
great to see you. Thanks so much for having me on, Ezra. How are you?
00:17:43.420
Well, I'm doing great. And I have to say, I was so pleased with your report. I thought it was so
00:17:48.280
professional. I hope you don't mind. I'm going to tell people that you're of the tender age of 21,
00:17:54.200
if I'm not mistaken, but you carry yourself with great confidence and aplomb. And I'm very excited
00:18:00.440
about your citizen journalism. Why don't you tell our viewers a little bit about yourself?
00:18:04.340
Where are you from? How did you get this interest in politics? And how long have you
00:18:08.760
been doing citizen journalism? Well, I started, just to be brief, I started
00:18:16.980
only in November. I went to a Tommy Robinson rally on October 26. And he had inspired me to want to
00:18:27.760
try and become a citizen journalist. And I was interviewed at the protest. The interview got
00:18:34.540
a fair amount of views. And I started working for resistance GB where I started training with them.
00:18:42.760
And within a couple of weeks, I was interviewing politicians with really no experience.
00:18:48.240
But I was absolutely loving it. I was covering protests. I was doing live streams. And it was
00:18:53.960
just amazing. But I've always, I've always been interested in politics. I've always, you know,
00:18:59.820
been quite opinionated. And yeah, I just started to really notice that what's going on in the UK,
00:19:07.460
and the massive threat to free speech, I started feeling really upset about the winter fuel payments
00:19:13.820
issue, the trans ideology towards children. I mean, my younger brother is autistic. And I noticed that
00:19:20.580
there was a targeting of neurodivergent children. So it started to feel like I had a duty. Because it
00:19:28.420
seems that modern warfare is not drones or anything like that. It's information. And the more people
00:19:34.940
out there getting information, and not being paid thousands and thousands, and they have no reasons
00:19:41.660
try and hide anything, the more people will know the truth. And that's when I decided that I wanted
00:19:48.000
You know, I love hearing you use that word. We use that phrase a lot here in Canada.
00:19:52.440
I've been coming to the UK on and off for really a decade. Tommy Robinson was our first citizen
00:19:58.120
journalist there. He's a little bit of a hot potato. He worked for us for about a year, but we've
00:20:02.660
stayed friends ever since. Citizen journalism, I think, is having its golden age in the UK. There's so many
00:20:10.020
bright young people. We had Jack Hadfield on the other day. I really like that guy. And it's almost like you've
00:20:18.180
got a young posse of young citizen journalists with cell phone cameras and microphones. And you've got courage
00:20:25.240
because you're, you know, you're good for each other's morale. And you also have each other's back. And I just
00:20:31.820
see there's a critical mass there. And I got to tell you what you're doing is so important because I know
00:20:38.640
the BBC, that's the state broadcaster over there and the Guardian and all the other media, they either
00:20:46.560
ignore these citizen protests or they demonize them or they downplay them. I think the citizen
00:20:54.220
journalists are breaking the cone of silence, the information embargo. And I think you and some of
00:21:03.440
the other young people I mentioned, I think you're going to actually turn this thing around because you
00:21:08.560
are giving people a window on what's going on. You're disproving the lies. Like, I love the fact
00:21:13.360
that you did what we call streeters or vox pop, talking to ordinary people. They're not racist. They're not,
00:21:19.240
you know, far right. They're just mums and grandmas mainly. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I have
00:21:25.580
witnessed, I've witnessed no racism. And I often go around with my cameraman who sometimes helped me,
00:21:35.680
helps me out if I don't want to film first person. And he is a Jamaican immigrant. So if there was any
00:21:42.300
racism, I think he would be the first one to experience it. And I did actually ask him because I
00:21:46.800
thought, well, if there is racism here, I'm not going to be the one to really see it. And I did ask him,
00:21:51.480
I said, you know, what was the vibe like? Did you feel like there was anyone who was judging you in that
00:21:56.720
way? And he said, no. And actually, people were coming up to him thanking him for being there because
00:22:03.040
they're always told, like you just said, that we're racist, we're far right and all of these things. And it's just
00:22:08.260
not true. We're concerned for our country. We're concerned for our children. We're concerned for just the
00:22:13.920
general safety and our sovereignty. And that's not a controversial opinion. It's also not controversial
00:22:19.540
to want to preserve our own culture. And it's not controversial to say that British people should
00:22:25.940
be a priority in Britain. Yeah, I think you're right. You know, the ideas that we're talking about
00:22:32.020
and that a lot of these protests talk about, it's only been about six years, excuse me, six months or a
00:22:37.800
year ago, that no one in the political establishment was talking about them. Even Nigel Farage, the leader
00:22:44.400
of the Reform UK party, was very careful and almost dainty when he was asked questions like Steve
00:22:50.720
Edgington asked him, would you engage in mass deportations? And he said, no. Even the last six
00:22:57.300
months, I think the Overton window has moved so much that people can start talking about deportations
00:23:05.740
and stopping the boats. I just feel like the dam has broken. Even Keir Starmer, the Labour
00:23:14.280
Prime Minister who's letting so many in, he seems to feel the need to say butch things about keeping
00:23:21.600
them out. He's not doing it. But if he feels compelled he has to pretend he's against these
00:23:27.780
illegal migrants, you know things have changed.
00:23:30.380
Oh, absolutely. Keir Starmer is utterly useless. He's absolutely useless. And not only is he useless
00:23:40.620
and incompetent, he's deliberately betraying the British people on the grounds of social cohesion,
00:23:48.320
even while he's getting us closer and closer to just more riots on the streets and possibly
00:23:53.440
civil unrest and maybe even civil war. And going back to reform, I remember just before going to the
00:24:03.800
Tommy Rally back in October, I was going to be a reform voter. And then Richard Tice came out and called
00:24:11.540
Tommy's lot that lot. And I think it just absolutely crushed and alienated so much of their voting base.
00:24:22.260
Because we really thought that they were going to be the new right, that we're going to stamp down on
00:24:27.860
immigration, stamp down on woke ideology, and just put Britain back to normal. But no, they started to
00:24:35.940
cower, they've started to backpedal. I mean, they even started suggesting one in, one out, just like
00:24:42.100
Starmer did. I mean, it's absolutely ludicrous. And we're supposed to still champion them as some kind of,
00:24:49.660
you know, hard as nails, working class, understands the blue collar man, when they clearly don't.
00:24:56.020
I have a bit of a different opinion than you. And maybe it's because I'm not a British citizen. So I don't have as much
00:25:01.060
skin in the game. I still think that Nigel Farage has the best chance of actually winning an election
00:25:08.420
on this mandate. I think the conservative party is in disarray, very low in the polls.
00:25:13.640
Keir Starmer obviously can't be trusted. I, here's how I see it. Of course, Nigel Farage is a politician
00:25:19.180
first. And politicians are always going to break your heart. They're always going to let you down.
00:25:23.520
But if other forces, whether it's Tommy Robinson, or citizen journalists, or other smaller parties,
00:25:31.860
like Restore UK, or Reclaim, and Advance UK, I don't know the names of all of them. But there's so
00:25:38.440
many new little parties that are, that are hard relying on immigration. If they can, I'm using that
00:25:44.760
phrase, the Overton window. But I guess what I mean is, if they can push the conversation
00:25:49.740
forward, Nigel Farage, one thing he's good at is seeing where a parade is mustering and then going
00:25:56.160
to the front of it to lead it. I think all politicians, that's their skill. So Emma, I see
00:26:01.620
your role and the role of so many citizen journalists and citizen activists is to change where the middle
00:26:08.420
ground is. So Nigel Farage has no chance, no choice, but to get tougher. And so I, I wouldn't write
00:26:16.880
him off myself. Cause I think that in the end, he'll, he's going to steal all your ideas. He's
00:26:21.660
going to steal all the ideas from Tommy Robinson in the end. And the people who were with Tommy the
00:26:26.520
whole time will say, Hey, you used to demonize the guy, but as long as these, this becomes UK policy,
00:26:32.880
I don't care who does it. Now, maybe I should care more about the ins and outs of different political
00:26:37.800
parties, but I just want to see the conversation move to the right. Back to you, Emma. What do you
00:26:42.100
think? No, I, I absolutely agree. And I, to be honest, although I don't, I'm not a particular
00:26:48.500
fan of Farage for the reasons that I just said, I do think that he will most likely be the next
00:26:55.820
prime minister. Uh, even though I think he alienated a lot of his voting base when Richard
00:27:02.160
Tice made that comment, um, and the kind of further alienation that he's done to Tommy
00:27:08.600
Robinson, um, I still do think that the majority of people will vote reform, even if they are angry
00:27:16.200
at the exact same thing things, because it's splitting the right. We have all these parties,
00:27:21.840
like you just said, advance UK, UKIP, uh, heritage, or we have all of these different parties, but what
00:27:27.040
people keep fearing is the fact that while we're all branching off, there's no one party that could
00:27:33.240
really secure us. Um, but with what you said about the Overton window shifting, I hope that as well as
00:27:43.340
a shift from mainstream media to citizen journalism, we will see, um, parties on the right uniting for
00:27:51.600
the greater good of the country. I really, really hope that it might be a pipe dream. It might be
00:27:57.220
a fairy tale, you know, with the world we're living in, but that, that is my biggest hope because I do think
00:28:02.800
that if, for instance, the likes of, um, heritage, uh, UKIP and, um, advance UK, sorry, it came to me,
00:28:14.500
um, if they all perhaps joined reform and they actually all were willing to sit down, maybe chuck
00:28:21.140
some of their own policies out in order to create a new party together that represented the main populace
00:28:28.620
of the right wing without having to, you know, backpedal on immigration and the really important
00:28:35.160
things going on in our country right now. I think that's exactly what we need, but regardless,
00:28:39.760
I do think that Farage is likely the next prime minister. Yeah. Well, I think the nature of
00:28:45.020
political parties is that everybody wants to be the boss. And if someone could be the leader of
00:28:50.400
their own party or the deputy boss of someone else's party, they're going to choose split his,
00:28:55.200
I mean, it's just, I think human nature, but what I care more about is the policy. And just for quick
00:29:00.160
example, the conservative party, which ruled the UK for 14 years under whose watch immigration
00:29:06.580
skyrocketed, they're trying to rebrand themselves as being tougher than the U than reform UK. So I
00:29:12.720
love the fact that you have a contest amongst these other parties of who can be tougher and harder
00:29:18.400
lying on immigration. But listen, Emma, what I really care about is not politicians, but what's
00:29:24.440
happening on the streets, what real Brits are thinking, and the fact that they're no longer
00:29:28.720
afraid to stand up and be counted. And so you and I were just talking before we turned the camera on.
00:29:34.360
I would love it if you were to continue being our eyes and ears on the ground at these grassroots
00:29:40.900
peaceful protests. I want to keep showing the world that the people who want to stop mass
00:29:46.560
immigration are normal moms and dads and grandmas and grandpas, normal young girls who are worried that
00:29:53.560
they can no longer walk the streets safely at night. It's so important that you show the reality
00:29:59.160
because otherwise the lies of the regime media will take root. Will you continue to make videos
00:30:05.800
for us from time to time from these grassroots protests? Because you're there on the ground.
00:30:10.840
It's hard for me to trek overseas there. It takes me a couple of days to get going and it's expensive.
00:30:16.680
But if you can help us out by being our eyes and ears on the ground, not only I think would Canadians
00:30:21.960
and Americans love it, but I think you'd have a huge following in the UK too, because there's simply
00:30:29.960
Well, I would absolutely love to, and I am massively grateful for the opportunity.
00:30:37.080
And I would like to say that, yeah, I am more than motivated, I suppose I could say, to keep proving,
00:30:48.760
like you said, that these people are just worried for their country. They're not racists. They're not
00:30:55.800
bigots of any kind. And the reality is that there are some pockets of unnecessary violence,
00:31:03.080
and there are some people that are just there to cause issues. There is always going to be a handful
00:31:10.040
in any group. But that in itself is also a byproduct of the wider agenda that we're seeing of mass
00:31:16.600
immigration. And I think it's also important to report on. And yeah, I'm more than excited to be
00:31:22.600
doing that for Rebel News. Well, that's wonderful. And we'll be as helpful as we can be to you.
00:31:28.600
We'll look forward to talking to you some more. Good luck out there. Stay safe. I know that
00:31:32.760
you've been very careful so far, but the other side gets a little bit crazy. In fact,
00:31:36.840
you were at a conference for citizen journalists, and there was someone who went sort of wacko
00:31:41.880
with violence. And we'll play a clip of that to end this segment. So stay safe out there.
00:31:47.160
Keep in touch. And thanks for being a freelancer for Rebel News. Thank you, Ezra.
00:31:53.400
Thanks, Emma. And we'll close with a clip of you and that crazy interaction outside a citizen
00:31:59.880
journalist conference. We've been talking with Emma Dunwell.
00:32:03.880
Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you.
00:32:06.200
You're spitting on me. You're not speaking for me like this.
00:32:07.880
What the fuck is your brother? What happened? What's your issue?
00:32:09.880
Yo, no good like this. What happened? What happened? You're not speaking for me.
00:32:14.120
Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys. Get out of here.
00:32:19.560
Mate, you're the fuck. Why are you speaking like this for me?
00:32:29.880
Dude, dude, dude, dude. I don't know who you are, man.
00:33:14.280
Your letters to me about Melanie Bennett's report
00:33:21.800
competing against the girls and actually staying
00:33:28.440
Bob Matt said, I'm still blown away how one person's rights
00:33:39.320
As long as you're an adult, I really don't care what you do.
00:33:41.560
I am opposed to people cutting off their body parts.
00:33:47.480
I agree with Billboard Chris who says no one's born in the wrong body,
00:33:52.840
If you're an adult and you want to take hormones or cut body parts off,
00:33:56.920
I don't agree with it, but it's none of my bloody business, I suppose.
00:34:01.720
But when you start imposing yourself on other people,
00:34:04.120
when you're a biological male who insists on going into the change rooms,
00:34:08.120
when you're a biological male who insists on being on women's sports teams and stealing
00:34:12.520
trophies meant for them, then it's not about your private personal life anymore, is it?
00:34:17.000
It's about you being a cheater and violating other people's privacy and security.
00:34:22.760
Robert Dow says not to be too hard on the girls of this team,
00:34:26.440
but they have to take a stand and not play anymore.
00:34:29.000
As long as the male is allowed to play, then stay home and don't play.
00:34:32.760
Well, I agree with you, but easier said than done.
00:34:35.400
That would only work if the whole team did it together.
00:34:38.520
Like that scene from the movie Spartacus, when they said,
00:34:44.840
And the idea being, well, you can't get us all.
00:34:47.240
I'm worried though, if the entire team said we're fed up with this,
00:34:50.280
that theoretically the entire team would be sacked.
00:34:53.400
That's how powerful transgender extremism is in some of these sports leagues.
00:35:07.800
By definition, when they throw out their documents and are undocumented, we don't know.
00:35:13.320
You know, an obvious point being, if these people are coming from war-torn places,
00:35:18.840
I saw a report just today that a suspected Houthi warlord,
00:35:24.120
those are the Islamic terrorists in Yemen, has made his way to the UK as a refugee.
00:35:32.680
And you're on the side of the murdering terrorists.
00:35:35.080
When people throw their ID in the river or in the toilet of an airplane,
00:35:49.160
Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters,
00:35:52.840
to you at home, good night, and keep fighting for freedom.
