Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ Elitists cancel all who oppose radical transgenderism

00:00:00.000 Hello, my friends. One of my favorite guys, a very brave man who walks with kings and the common people.

00:00:06.740 He spends a lot of time on the street with a billboard around his name.

00:00:10.380 That's why his nickname is Billboard Chris.

00:00:12.360 A feature conversation with him about Danielle Smith and her plans for transgender policy.

00:00:19.120 That's all I had. But first, let me invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus.

00:00:22.660 That's the video version of this podcast.

00:00:25.400 Not only do we put a lot of effort in our videos, but, you know, the eight bucks a month,

00:00:29.220 it really goes a long way to keeping us alive.

00:00:32.040 You know, we were demonetized by YouTube, right?

00:00:34.340 So we don't get any money from that.

00:00:36.020 And of course, we don't take any money from the government, not that any would be offered.

00:00:39.680 So we really rely on you.

00:00:41.100 Eight bucks a month might not sound like a lot to you, but boy, it adds up for us.

00:00:48.320 All right, here's today's podcast.

00:00:59.220 Tonight, Danielle Smith announces a bill on transgenderism.

00:01:10.760 We'll talk to Billboard Chris, the expert on the subject.

00:01:14.340 It's October 4th, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:17.040 You're fighting for freedom!

00:01:20.020 Shame on you, you censorious bug! 0.99

00:01:23.100 The entire culture is in favor of transgenderism. 0.99

00:01:36.220 It really came out of nowhere 10 years ago.

00:01:39.220 No one even used the phrase 20 years ago as the subject of some amusement,

00:01:44.040 like the movie Tootsie with Dustin Hoffman or Mrs. Doubtfire with Robin Williams.

00:01:49.680 Well, it's deadly serious now.

00:01:51.880 It's so pervasive throughout our entire culture.

00:01:54.920 And I've never seen a harsher enforcement of cancel culture before Elon Musk took over Twitter,

00:02:01.960 misgendering someone or deadnaming someone.

00:02:06.840 That's when you call someone by the name their mama gave them,

00:02:09.360 as opposed to their gender-neutral name they just adopted.

00:02:12.560 That would be the absolute fastest way to be suspended or banned from Twitter around.

00:02:17.900 It's just astonishing, the force of the cancel culture behind it.

00:02:22.600 But what happens if you simply hold your ground?

00:02:26.880 Because it's my belief, and I think it's my observation,

00:02:30.420 that it's elite institutions that are enforcing this,

00:02:33.960 but ordinary people aren't quite convinced.

00:02:36.580 In fact, I think they're rather troubled by it.

00:02:38.500 One of the reasons why support for LGBTQ2SL Plus is declining is, in my opinion, because of the T. 1.00

00:02:49.980 I think people accept the L and the G, but it's the T, and more specifically,

00:02:56.280 the T forcing itself into schools and to children that is causing people to back away

00:03:02.060 from what used to be an equality agenda.

00:03:05.640 Well, Danielle Smith, the Premier of Alberta, has shown some boldness on this subject

00:03:10.000 and has been willing to brave the attempts to cancel her.

00:03:15.300 Can you cancel a provincial premier?

00:03:18.780 They're trying to.

00:03:20.140 But let me show you what Danielle Smith said that caused all the fuss.

00:03:24.120 Here's her recent statement about minor youth, about children and transgenderism.

00:03:31.900 Take a look.

00:03:32.640 Firstly, licensed Alberta doctors will be prohibited from performing gender assignment surgeries

00:03:38.260 on youth under the age of 18 in Alberta.

00:03:41.920 Puberty blockers and hormone therapies for the purpose of gender reassignment for minors 0.97

00:03:46.980 under the age of 16 will also be prohibited,

00:03:50.160 unless a minor has already commenced their treatment at this time.

00:03:54.640 For 16 and 17-year-olds wishing to proceed with puberty blockers

00:03:58.180 or other hormone therapies for the purpose of gender reassignment,

00:04:01.720 they may do so only if they have parental, psychologist and doctor approval.

00:04:06.000 In our schools, the proposed legislation will now require parental notification

00:04:09.800 and consent for a teacher or staff member to change a child's name or pronoun

00:04:14.020 and publicly use that new name or pronoun in a classroom setting or school assembly.

00:04:19.060 And to be clear, this does not mean reporting or outing a student

00:04:22.320 for the private conversations with friends or teachers regarding their gender identity.

00:04:26.600 For 16 or 17-year-olds who choose to alter their name or pronoun used in school,

00:04:31.980 they may do so without parental consent, so long as parents are still notified in advance.

00:04:37.020 In those extremely rare circumstances where a teacher feels that a child might be at risk

00:04:41.500 should the parents be notified of a desired name or pronoun change,

00:04:45.300 Alberta Education will provide a protocol to ensure the protection of that child

00:04:49.500 throughout the parental notification process.

00:04:52.440 I am convinced that parents, even those who may disagree with the decision of their child,

00:04:57.040 will still love and care for that child no matter what choices they make.

00:05:00.720 It would be wise for all of us to remember that,

00:05:02.960 rather than questioning the love of parents and their paramount role

00:05:06.300 as the primary caregivers and teachers of their children.

00:05:09.620 In addition, the newly proposed legislation will require parental notification

00:05:13.240 and a parental opt-in requirement for each instance a teacher intends to address issues

00:05:18.520 or subject matter involving gender identity, sexual orientation, or human sexuality.

00:05:25.020 Furthermore, the provision of resource materials or presentations to students

00:05:29.240 related to these subjects in our K-12 schools must be approved by the Ministry of Education

00:05:34.320 to ensure age appropriateness and relevance to school curriculum.

00:05:38.060 And finally, as it pertains to women and girls in competitive sports,

00:05:42.760 proposed legislation will be tabled that prohibits individuals born biologically male

00:05:47.480 from competing against women and girls in competitive sporting competitions.

00:05:51.920 This will apply to all competitive women's and girls sports

00:05:55.060 in all provincial sporting organizations,

00:05:57.360 as well as in our schools and post-secondary competitive sporting divisions.

00:06:01.580 Obviously, this prohibition will not apply to recreational or co-ed divisions.

00:06:06.040 And our government will support the formation of additional co-ed and recreational divisions

00:06:11.180 so that all athletes have as many opportunities as possible to compete in their sport of choice.

00:06:16.920 In closing, I again sincerely ask that as we discuss and debate this proposed legislation,

00:06:22.040 both before and after it is tabled,

00:06:24.180 that we do all we can to depoliticize the discussion

00:06:27.060 and focus on the well-being of the children and youth most affected by these policies.

00:06:31.420 Well, I found that very balanced.

00:06:32.820 In fact, some might criticize it and say,

00:06:35.140 well, she's specifically allowing 16- and 17-year-olds to take puberty blockers in certain cases.

00:06:42.500 Some would say that this rather institutionalizes some transgenderism.

00:06:46.840 But of course, the main reaction to it will be those squawking,

00:06:51.300 how dare you say children cannot irrevocably alter their bodies with surgery?

00:06:57.340 And how dare you keep transgendered athletes out of girls' teams and leagues? 1.00

00:07:05.000 I think it's an excellent proposal.

00:07:07.160 And the way she describes it is so friendly and caring.

00:07:13.200 I think it reveals the ideological agenda of the other side.

00:07:17.760 Let's talk to a person who I actually think is one of the world's leading experts on these subjects.

00:07:23.600 Not that he's a PhD, but frankly, having a PhD in this subject, I think, almost always disqualifies you.

00:07:31.640 But I mean someone who has probably spoken to more people about it than anyone else in the world.

00:07:40.460 And by people, I mean sometimes literally standing on the street with a sign,

00:07:46.320 inviting people to come and talk to him.

00:07:48.720 People of every point of view, you probably know who I'm talking about.

00:07:52.420 He's nicknamed Billboard Chris Elston, and he joins us now from his home in the Vancouver area.

00:07:59.380 Billboard Chris.

00:08:00.500 Chris, great to see you again.

00:08:02.420 You're traveling around the world.

00:08:04.080 You're giving presentations, whether it's to the United Nations or to government bodies.

00:08:10.400 Really, this is your area of expertise that you've learned one person at a time,

00:08:15.900 one conversation at a time, haven't you?

00:08:17.840 Yes, I've had tens of thousands of these conversations, having spent thousands of hours out on the street,

00:08:24.300 in busy downtown centers, at university campuses in nine countries in the world now,

00:08:29.800 eight provinces, about 22 states, and 80 or 90 different cities.

00:08:34.580 So I've immersed myself in this for really the past five years.

00:08:39.480 My campaign is just a little over four years long, but I've pretty much read all there is to read about this.

00:08:45.980 And I do have many friends who are the PhD experts on this subject,

00:08:51.280 as well as many people who have gone through this transition and then detransitioned who speak about the harms.

00:08:56.560 So there's absolutely no doubt whatsoever that there is wide public support for doing exactly what Premier Daniel Smith is doing.

00:09:05.300 And yes, you could say the measures don't go far enough.

00:09:08.320 I don't believe that 16 and 17 year old autistic kids who've suffered sexual abuse or trauma or have borderline personality disorder or other issues,

00:09:17.280 I don't believe we should be stopping puberty in them and slowly destroying their bodies with the opposite sex hormones. 1.00

00:09:22.300 But it's a fabulous start and we have to start somewhere.

00:09:25.600 And also the issues about school, not teaching gender identity and sexual orientation to children without their parents knowing,

00:09:33.380 this is a common thing that all people throughout the population would agree with.

00:09:39.640 We would like our children to learn reading, writing and arithmetic, not LGBTQ-ology. 1.00

00:09:45.120 And that's been a real emphasis of the LGBT side of things.

00:09:50.100 And a lot of the teacher activists, they want to have these secret clubs, these secret meetings.

00:09:56.000 And the secrecy, it's not an aspersion or an insult.

00:09:59.740 That is part of how they structure these things so that parents are not informed, so parents can't intervene.

00:10:07.820 The parents are sort of treated as the villain or the enemy or the person who would object.

00:10:14.500 You can see how critics of it use the word grooming.

00:10:20.920 And of course the teachers are appalled by that phrase because of its connotations.

00:10:25.400 But what else is it when you try and separate a child from the conversation and care of their family

00:10:30.960 and fill their head with an ideology that gets them to make the most astonishing life changes

00:10:37.200 and the whole thing is done in secrecy from parents, that is happening.

00:10:41.920 That's a core to what are sometimes called gay-straight alliances is somehow, sometimes what they're named.

00:10:49.100 As if a teacher cares more about a student than their own parents.

00:10:55.480 I think there's a snobbery there.

00:10:57.140 There's a condescension.

00:10:58.700 And there's sort of the communist belief that children belong to the government rather than to a family.

00:11:03.640 That's right.

00:11:05.720 If you look at these BC teachers unions or any of the teachers unions such as the BC Teachers Federation,

00:11:11.480 it's written into their own documents that it is policy of all the BC schools to hide from parents

00:11:18.040 when their own child takes on a new name and pronouns at school.

00:11:23.480 These teachers, these 24-year-old teachers who just graduated from university last year,

00:11:28.160 are conducting what amounts to a psychological intervention on what is a medical problem.

00:11:35.800 Gender dysphoria is a psychiatric diagnosis. 0.81

00:11:39.940 This is a mental health issue.

00:11:43.120 And we now have unqualified teachers conducting mental health interventions

00:11:46.920 with absolutely no training to do so while hiding it from parents.

00:11:51.300 So yes, absolutely, this is ideological grooming.

00:11:54.060 There's no other word for it.

00:11:56.080 And no one loves a child like their parents do.

00:11:57.960 So what the heck are they doing keeping secrets from parents?

00:12:00.640 Yeah.

00:12:01.180 You know, one of the phrases that I know you use a lot,

00:12:04.240 and sometimes it's on the billboards that you wear,

00:12:07.760 is no one is born in the wrong body.

00:12:12.000 And that's so plain and so obvious.

00:12:14.560 And yet that is the message.

00:12:17.560 I mean, I've told my viewers before.

00:12:19.400 When I was in London, I heard a speech by the head of something called the Gay Men's Network.

00:12:23.540 And I'm not, I don't usually hear speeches by people who lead something called a gay men's network.

00:12:29.820 But he said that if he were young today, I mean, he's a gay man. 0.90

00:12:34.340 He said that he would have been put on a track to be chopped up. 0.87

00:12:39.340 That instead of being who he is, they would have said,

00:12:41.980 no, you're a girl trapped in a boy's body. 1.00

00:12:44.440 We've got to cut off your parts. 1.00

00:12:47.760 And we've heard transgenderism be described as a war on women.

00:12:53.780 And I think there's some truth there because it's a war on women's spaces, 1.00

00:12:57.240 change rooms, prisons, bathrooms, other intimate places,

00:13:01.320 and a war on the identity of what a woman is. 1.00

00:13:05.000 That's true. 0.98

00:13:06.380 But it's also a war on gay men. 0.70

00:13:09.460 Or at least I was convinced of that by this head of the Gay Men's Network in the UK. 0.97

00:13:14.120 What do you think of his thesis?

00:13:16.320 Yeah, I think that's probably Dennis Kavanaugh you're referring to.

00:13:18.920 That's exactly who.

00:13:19.860 Yeah, you know who, yeah, I forgot his name for the moment.

00:13:21.980 But very, very persuasive character.

00:13:24.540 Go ahead.

00:13:24.900 Yes, so there's no more homophobic movement in the world than transgender ideology.

00:13:32.820 If people go to my X account, Twitter account, at Billboard Chris,

00:13:36.680 you'll see a couple videos from just a few days ago.

00:13:39.300 One was a woman on the streets in Lisbon, Portugal, where I was there for a conference.

00:13:45.340 And she told me that her son, when he was three years old, this is according to her,

00:13:49.800 she said that he felt God had made a mistake, that he was supposed to be a girl.

00:13:53.280 And he wanted to be a girl.

00:13:54.900 But she lovingly, but firmly stated that, well, you might want that, but you're not that.

00:14:01.040 You're a boy, and there's no right or wrong way to be a boy.

00:14:03.680 And he grew up being a more effeminate boy.

00:14:05.980 He preferred to bake cookies.

00:14:07.820 And the boys would bully him, and the girls would defend him from the boys that were bullying him. 0.93

00:14:11.180 And he grew up, and he is, to no one's surprise, a gay man.

00:14:14.820 He's now a 33-year-old healthy gay man.

00:14:17.060 If he was growing up today, these trans activists would be saying that he was born in the wrong body.

00:14:21.220 And that he would only find true happiness by going on puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and getting a surgery.

00:14:26.400 They'd turn him into a lifelong pharmaceutical patient, instead of just letting him be.

00:14:30.840 So, who are the people committing conversion therapy here?

00:14:35.000 It's not us.

00:14:36.020 I'm out here with a message that all these kids are beautiful just as they are.

00:14:40.000 These trans activists are saying these kids were born wrong.

00:14:42.780 I mean, can you think of a more insane, psychologically abusive message than that?

00:14:46.220 And then just two or three days ago, I spoke with a young woman. 0.93

00:14:49.180 She's a lesbian. 1.00

00:14:50.740 She had the same complaints.

00:14:53.180 So many people, so many young lesbians are now being taught that they were born wrong, and that they should have been a man.

00:14:59.000 And they're going on testosterone, and they're getting double mastectomies.

00:15:01.600 And she can't even go on a dating app without actual males coming in there with their issues, trying to destroy their dating scene. 1.00

00:15:09.400 So, the real homophobia is coming from this transgender ideology. 0.99

00:15:13.200 And it's not hateful to say that.

00:15:14.300 It's just reality.

00:15:15.000 And we need to get back to reality, which is that all these children and young people are fine just as they are.

00:15:21.780 What are we doing cutting off the body parts of children? 0.97

00:15:25.100 I find this such a—even to hear those words is stomach-turning, let alone to see and to know what's going on.

00:15:34.180 So, you agree with me that Danielle Smith is taking a very positive step, and I think showing a little bit of courage.

00:15:40.340 And she's unsurprisingly being attacked, including by Marcy Ian, a federal cabinet minister who, for some reason, is a transgender activist.

00:15:49.500 I don't quite understand that.

00:15:51.240 But let's move one province further to the west, your own home turf of British Columbia.

00:15:55.260 It's very interesting to me to see the unity of the parties of the right.

00:16:00.980 There is now one merged party of the right there, which I think is always a good step forward to winning government.

00:16:07.600 John Rustad, who is a pretty independent-minded, freedom-oriented guy, I think.

00:16:12.620 You would tell me just before we went to turn on the cameras that there's some shyness out there about this policy.

00:16:21.020 Now, I understand B.C. and Vancouver in particular is progressive on social matters, but I have to believe that for the reasons you and I just talked about and for other reasons, cultural reasons, like a very interesting cultural mix in B.C.,

00:16:35.440 I would think that a Danielle Smith-style, nuanced, balanced, loving approach would be enormously popular, not just by straight folks, but by almost everyone other than professional activists.

00:16:51.940 Like, I just in my bones feel that that would be a winner in B.C.

00:16:57.320 Tell me the status of the B.C. Conservative Party when it comes to this issue.

00:17:02.020 Sure.

00:17:02.600 So, I'm a B.C. boy.

00:17:03.920 I've lived here my whole life.

00:17:05.780 45 of my 48 years I've been here.

00:17:08.260 And I've had almost the vast majority of my conversations I've had have been out on the streets of Vancouver or in Victoria or wherever.

00:17:14.680 And I get more than 90% support from the population.

00:17:17.540 When I go out on the street now, it's constant high fives, thank yous, people thanking me from their car.

00:17:22.640 This is wildly popular.

00:17:24.380 My message is that children cannot consent to puberty blockers.

00:17:27.520 There's only a few hundred people who are really these outlandish and very loud activists who make great noise.

00:17:34.300 And, of course, all the leftist media goes along with them.

00:17:36.480 But we don't need to worry about them.

00:17:38.040 And the Conservative Party of British Columbia previously has stated that they wanted to get gender ideology out of schools.

00:17:44.600 They have stated somewhat timidly that they want to stop this child abuse, this medical malpractice of blocking the development of perfectly healthy children.

00:17:54.400 But they've gone silent about it lately.

00:17:56.460 And that's been very concerning to me.

00:17:58.640 And it's concerning because right now in the polls, they're running at about 50-50.

00:18:02.000 The popular vote right now, according to the polls, is 50-50.

00:18:04.800 And we go to the polls in 15 days.

00:18:06.620 We have an election in 15 days.

00:18:08.020 And if that popular vote remains at 50-50, the Conservatives lose because they win by large margins out in the rural areas.

00:18:16.580 But their vote isn't as efficient because in these inner city areas where there are many more ridings, they'll end up losing by smaller margins.

00:18:24.340 So what they need to do in the final two weeks is get these swing voters.

00:18:27.640 And in BC elections, I've paid attention to this my whole life.

00:18:30.920 It's all about the last two weeks of the political campaign.

00:18:33.400 They need to be strong on this issue.

00:18:34.980 They need to be strong for parental rights because all of these immigrant communities, all of these swing voters, they are not okay with gender ideology.

00:18:44.400 The immigrant communities the most are against it.

00:18:47.560 This is primarily pushed by white progressives, especially young females. 0.72

00:18:51.920 And the people who are into this ideology, they're not going to get their vote anyway.

00:18:55.380 They're going to vote NDP.

00:18:56.620 But there are so many swing voters up for grabs.

00:18:59.320 And even if you want to get more enthusiasm from the Conservatives to get more of that vote out,

00:19:03.340 you need to be strong on this issue, not shy away from it.

00:19:06.140 So hopefully they get strong on this because they've gone quiet lately.

00:19:09.780 And I had a couple of posts up today on my ex account.

00:19:12.580 And a member of their campaign has actually just reached out to me.

00:19:14.820 So I'm going to be talking with him right after this phone call.

00:19:17.700 Well, I think what you just said to me was quite persuasive.

00:19:20.000 I should tell you, a few years ago, Ontario had a bit of a debate about this.

00:19:23.100 They talked about the six genders that were put in the curriculum.

00:19:26.720 And I would be in cabs or Ubers talking on my phones about this with whoever our team.

00:19:34.160 And every single time, as soon as I was off my phone call, the taxi driver would say,

00:19:39.740 excuse me, can I ask you about that?

00:19:41.900 Like I normally leave the taxi drivers alone and vice versa.

00:19:45.980 But the reason I tell you that is I think people come from other countries to Canada

00:19:51.160 and they're blown away by the freedom and they love the prosperity

00:19:54.620 and they're excited about the new country.

00:19:56.560 And there's many things that foreign people are delighted to find in Canada

00:20:00.940 that they didn't find at home.

00:20:02.260 But I find that foreign people, when they come to Canada to become Canadians, 0.94

00:20:06.780 one of the things that scares them is they think that on matters of sexuality

00:20:12.300 and certain other matters, drugs I think would be another one,

00:20:16.380 is that we've gone so far down the progressive road that it's now libertinism.

00:20:21.040 In BC, I think the national approach to, quote, safe supply drugs

00:20:26.360 is something else that terrifies immigrant newcomers.

00:20:29.900 And it's one of the things that make them think,

00:20:32.240 well, maybe I shouldn't have come to Canada because my kid's going to be on drugs

00:20:36.160 or are they going to be recruited in one of these gay-straight alliances

00:20:41.660 and told things contrary to our family values?

00:20:44.560 So I think, especially in places in BC with a lot of Chinese or Sikh

00:20:52.800 or other immigrant communities, this would be more important than a tax issue.

00:21:00.200 This would be more important than a zoning issue, than a garbage collection issue.

00:21:04.680 This would go straight to their deepest fear about the one thing they're worried about in Canada,

00:21:10.140 which is losing their culture and their values about family.

00:21:14.780 Like, I think this is a terrifying thing for ethnic minorities. 1.00

00:21:19.340 And now, listen, I say that as a fourth-generation Canadian,

00:21:22.300 so maybe I'm sounding a little bit like an anthropologist trying to study new Canadians.

00:21:26.280 But I think they're terrified. What do you think?

00:21:29.140 There's one continuous protest that's been going on for almost a year now

00:21:32.880 out in Abbotsford, British Columbia, by the Sikh community.

00:21:35.780 And it's been a protest against gender ideology in schools.

00:21:38.860 The biggest protest that we had during the million-person march, it was called last year,

00:21:43.640 was in Surrey, British Columbia.

00:21:45.360 And it was by the Sikh community.

00:21:46.980 They had 3,000 people shut down King George Highway,

00:21:49.560 the major thoroughfare through Surrey, British Columbia.

00:21:52.000 The Muslim community is all against this, every single one of them. 1.00

00:21:57.040 The Asian community is not okay with it. 1.00

00:21:59.160 So I was just getting in my Uber.

00:22:01.140 I got back from Europe two days ago.

00:22:03.080 And as I was getting my Uber at Vancouver Airport,

00:22:06.120 a man came and stopped me and he said,

00:22:07.400 hey, are you that billboard guy?

00:22:09.040 And yes, it's me.

00:22:10.460 I asked where he was from.

00:22:11.780 I meant to ask, you know, whereabouts in Vancouver you're from?

00:22:14.480 He said, I'm from Afghanistan.

00:22:17.320 But now he lives in Vancouver.

00:22:19.300 But of course, he's also in favor of what I'm doing,

00:22:23.640 which is trying to stop this terrible ideology teaching children that they're born wrong.

00:22:28.180 We don't have to come at this from a complaining standpoint.

00:22:30.940 Too many people do that.

00:22:32.120 Movements are much more powerful when you offer positivity and hope.

00:22:35.840 And the positive message is that our children are beautiful just as they are.

00:22:39.020 No drugs or scalpels needed.

00:22:41.080 And everyone understands that.

00:22:42.640 And there's no right or wrong way to be a girl or a boy.

00:22:45.100 If you're a little different, that's okay.

00:22:47.040 You be you.

00:22:47.960 But let's not stop your physical development.

00:22:50.220 And let's not cut off body parts of children.

00:22:51.820 Let's put a stop to this insane child abuse, 0.74

00:22:53.880 which starts by getting gender ideology out of schools. 1.00

00:22:56.680 Yeah.

00:22:56.840 And, you know, I really liked the order of how Danielle Smith went through it.

00:23:01.300 I like the fact that she ended with something that sports, because that's an easy way for.

00:23:07.900 And again, a lot.

00:23:08.800 There's a ton of moms out there, moms and especially, but dads, too, whose daughters are in sports.

00:23:14.400 And I keep telling folks, the era of women's sports is quite recent. 0.79

00:23:20.320 It wasn't even 100 years ago where women were not allowed to participate in many sports. 0.98

00:23:24.800 There's that famous photograph of a woman trying to run in the Boston Marathon.

00:23:29.960 I don't know if you remember that photo, Chris.

00:23:31.360 And officials breaking in to literally grab her and pull her out. 1.00

00:23:36.220 It has sort of had the golden age of girls in sport. 0.98

00:23:42.440 And now women's sports is the first target. 1.00

00:23:45.760 It's being destroyed by entryists saying, oh, no, I'm a girl.

00:23:50.680 And everyone's too afraid to say something because they'll be condemned.

00:23:54.880 They'll be canceled.

00:23:55.780 They'll be called a bigot.

00:23:56.800 But also, they don't want her to get hurt.

00:23:59.760 And they don't want to play an unfair game.

00:24:02.500 So I think that the way Danielle Smith is approaching it is so balanced and so reasonable.

00:24:10.540 I hope she can withstand the hurricane that's coming at her.

00:24:14.640 Because as you say, I think it's just an elite group of mainly progressive white women, so to speak. 0.99

00:24:22.540 I've got nothing against them, but that's just who it is.

00:24:24.740 It's a small clique.

00:24:25.480 I don't think it represents the majority of Canadians of any demographic.

00:24:29.960 It doesn't at all.

00:24:31.220 These are just, you know, very angry and loud activists.

00:24:35.680 And they've learned through time that the louder they are and the angrier they are, that they get results.

00:24:40.460 So honestly, it's just kind of acting like an intemperate child and throwing a temper tantrum.

00:24:45.160 And we need to ignore them.

00:24:46.540 So just ignore them.

00:24:47.740 Because you have wide support from the whole population, especially on the sports issue.

00:24:51.460 This is so simple.

00:24:52.340 Sometimes with the child transition issue, it requires a bit more of a conversation to explain what's going on.

00:24:57.920 Sports issue is so easy.

00:24:59.580 We shouldn't have men and women's sports. 1.00

00:25:00.760 Everyone gets it.

00:25:01.740 Yeah.

00:25:02.200 You know, and the Premier talked about co-ed sports and how she's going to expand that. 0.81

00:25:05.860 I think that's sort of like there's male bathrooms, there's female bathrooms, and then there's occasionally co-ed or other bathrooms.

00:25:13.640 What I think she'll find is that not a lot of people join those other or trans leagues.

00:25:20.340 Because I think for ideologues, it's about conquering women's places. 0.92

00:25:27.580 You know, I think there's an aggressive – I mean, human rights law was designed, I think, to be a shield to protect people from discrimination, not a sword to attack people.

00:25:41.060 And I think one of the reasons why so many people are falling away from a gay rights point of view – like, if you look at polls, over the last few years, support for gay rights is falling year after year.

00:25:53.540 And it's not that suddenly people are anti-gay, I don't think.

00:25:56.820 It's that the gay rights movement is so dominated by trans, and people say, whoa, whoa, whoa, you're not looking just to be left alone anymore.

00:26:04.340 You're not looking to be protected anymore.

00:26:06.140 It's not a shield anymore.

00:26:07.880 You're using it as a sword to go after kids, to go after women's places. 1.00

00:26:11.820 And I think what Danielle Smith is actually doing is she's saying to every school, every league in the province, let me make the tough decision for you.

00:26:20.020 So, frankly, you can say, oh, it's out of our hands.

00:26:22.780 We don't have to – like, I think a lot of ordinary people, coaches, managers, referees, they're scared.

00:26:28.960 So now they can say, well, it's out of my hands.

00:26:31.440 The premier decided.

00:26:32.280 I think that's a great gift the premier is giving to every sports league in the province.

00:26:36.140 Yes, it's important she's leading on this issue.

00:26:39.740 And if we look at other jurisdictions that are ahead of Canada, if we look at Florida, for example, in 2016, I guess it was, or 2018,

00:26:52.880 Ron DeSantis won by thousands of votes over Andrew Gillum.

00:26:56.780 It was basically 50-50.

00:26:59.140 The next election, he won by, what was it, 20 points?

00:27:04.880 There are only a few districts left, a few counties in the entire state of Florida that are now Democrat.

00:27:09.900 I think he even won Miami, if I'm not mistaken, which I don't think Republicans have done in two generations.

00:27:15.440 That's right.

00:27:15.840 He won Miami-Dade.

00:27:16.820 He's won Hispanic communities.

00:27:18.520 He won these counties that have gone Democrat forever.

00:27:21.380 And it's because he just tells the truth.

00:27:23.200 He talks like a parent from the year 2010.

00:27:25.960 And this is not controversial.

00:27:27.940 We shouldn't be teaching children gender identity because it's a pseudoscientific, quasi-religious ideology.

00:27:33.320 And we shouldn't be teaching them about sexual orientation.

00:27:35.520 We don't need to be teaching kindergartners queer theory.

00:27:37.360 Your five-year-old shouldn't be coming home from school thinking maybe that he's a girl. 0.94

00:27:42.240 That's totally nuts.

00:27:43.600 No parents like that.

00:27:44.340 And the one way that any of these more conservative parties pick up leftist votes is by telling the truth about this ideology.

00:27:53.400 Because so many women, especially on the left, realize that the left has left them. 1.00

00:28:01.420 They're not standing up for women's rights anymore. 1.00

00:28:04.000 We have in British Columbia a man who raped a three-month-old and murdered a toddler, drowned a toddler,

00:28:11.800 who then identified as a woman, was given breast implants for free by the province of British Columbia,

00:28:17.620 and was transferred into the Fraser Valley Penitentiary for women. 0.74

00:28:22.860 So you literally have women who themselves are often the subject of sexual abuse before going into prison.

00:28:30.000 They're not usually there for violent crimes.

00:28:31.900 It's usually addiction and things like that.

00:28:33.280 And they've had tough lives.

00:28:34.860 Now we're sending violent rapists into women's prisons all across Canada. 1.00

00:28:39.920 Women don't like that. 1.00

00:28:41.080 Leftist women don't like that. 1.00

00:28:43.160 So these conservative politicians need to stop being afraid of a really tiny, angry mob,

00:28:48.660 and just tell the truth about these issues, and they'll start winning.

00:28:51.280 Yeah.

00:28:51.840 I forgot about that prisons issue.

00:28:53.860 We've had conferences and done interviews with women in prisons where men claim they're women.

00:29:00.160 And, of course, if you are a sexual predator in prison, in a men's prison, you are actually at some likelihood of being attacked by other prisoners. 0.73

00:29:11.840 There's a kind of honor among thieves. 0.98

00:29:13.260 If you're a pedophile in prison, you are actually in danger from the other inmates. 0.69

00:29:18.860 So if you say, well, I'm a girl now, put me in with the women, not only are you protecting yourself from the other converts, but you've just given yourself access to women. 0.76

00:29:30.420 And I didn't know this until recently.

00:29:32.640 There are some prisons in Canada where mothers serve their sentence with their young children, which is something I didn't know happened.

00:29:41.200 It's more like dorm rooms than prisons.

00:29:44.460 And men are on the same grounds as that.

00:29:48.120 Imagine letting a child-molesting male have access to women and even children by simply saying, I'm a trans, put me where I want to go.

00:29:56.980 That's a subject for another whole conversation.

00:29:59.980 Tell me what you're up to in the weeks and months ahead.

00:30:02.140 Do you have other interesting trips planned?

00:30:03.900 Don't give away any secrets.

00:30:05.360 But are there things you're looking forward to in the weeks ahead?

00:30:09.220 Yeah, for sure.

00:30:10.100 I'm going to be focused mainly on B.C. up until the election here.

00:30:13.460 I'll be out on the streets of Vancouver and in Victoria as well.

00:30:15.800 I'm heading to California later this month.

00:30:18.380 I'm going to be opening a nonprofit in the United States because I've got big plans for down south.

00:30:26.520 I actually just spoke at the United Nations before their Human Rights Council last week.

00:30:32.160 So I think I'm the first person to ever speak at the UN and tell the truth about this subject.

00:30:37.140 And what was interesting about that was as soon as I finished my speech, I only had 90 seconds.

00:30:41.260 So I had to distill this whole thing into 90.

00:30:44.600 But as soon as I finished that speech, I had people in the room saying thank you as I walked out.

00:30:50.600 Wow.

00:30:50.800 A man representing one country came to me afterwards.

00:30:53.280 He didn't even know this was all going on.

00:30:55.840 Because guess what?

00:30:56.760 The people working at the UN are still just people.

00:30:59.380 A lot of them are 30-year-old diplomats who just got out of college six years ago.

00:31:04.500 And like everywhere else in society, they've just gone along with this TQ lobbying and they're afraid to say anything.

00:31:11.660 But I met with representative for the Vatican.

00:31:14.300 I met with the representative for a couple of different countries, one in the Middle East, one in Africa.

00:31:18.720 Other countries wanted to meet, but they didn't have time.

00:31:20.740 But I'll be going back there in six months and we're going to do a lot more at the United Nations because I've got help from the Alliance Defending Freedom International, which is a legal organization that offers help fighting all this madness all around the world.

00:31:33.460 And we'll be meeting with many different reps and raising this issue there because even at those levels where this is coming from, this whole comprehensive sex education is coming from the UN, they're not all on board with it there.

00:31:46.280 So one conversation at a time, I'm confident we're going to put an end to this.

00:31:49.820 Well, I hope that I see you with other people sometimes on the ground, and I assume those are people in the local community coming out to support you.

00:31:57.240 And I think it would be wonderful if you could sort of teach a little army of people the basic arguments, your style, how to handle aggressive questions.

00:32:08.700 If you could somehow replicate what you're doing with a little army, and maybe you teach like a three-day crash course and how to do it, and you show video highlights of the best and the worst moments you had, and give tips for how to handle police who try and shoo you along, how to handle people who are physical with you.

00:32:31.100 If you had like a crash course weekend course, and even some templates for signs, I think there's enough energy out there that you could have a little army that instead of you, and I know you're burning up the air miles, running around, you must be homesick a lot because you're on the road so much.

00:32:50.980 I don't know, I'm just sharing, I'm just brainstorming here.

00:32:53.520 It's none of my business, but I think it would be wonderful if you could somehow increase your firepower.

00:33:01.100 Yeah, well, I think, you know, one of the main ways I do that is through social media.

00:33:05.820 So I post some of these conversations, and it does help teach people how to handle some of the objections and how to speak about this in a positive manner.

00:33:13.440 I work with groups like Moms for Liberty down south.

00:33:15.860 They have 130,000 moms in virtually every state in the country doing grassroots efforts in their own communities.

00:33:22.240 So I've helped educate them.

00:33:24.880 I work with a variety of organizations, especially in the United States, because quite simply, we have all these organizations.

00:33:29.460 Whereas in Canada, we don't really have any grassroots organizations.

00:33:32.080 So I try to do it that way, but I love your idea.

00:33:37.140 I think the workshop for a couple of days would be an excellent thing to do.

00:33:42.820 It's simply a matter of time, and maybe someone can help sponsor that.

00:33:46.680 Because, you know what, I do all this at my own expense, and I'm losing tens of thousands, and so I can't really put on big events on my own.

00:33:53.100 Well, we love to crowdfund, as you may know, and we've helped crowdfund for wonderful people across this country.

00:33:59.420 And we even had a conference through the Democracy Fund that we helped crowdfund for called Women's Spaces in the Age of Transgenderism. 0.66

00:34:08.940 And I learned so much at that conference, and maybe we could help with that.

00:34:14.980 I mean, we have our main work to do, but one of the things about Rebel News, Chris, is, you know, every once in a while, we don't just talk about the news.

00:34:21.660 We try and get involved and actually help with things.

00:34:24.360 So anyways, I mean, you've got a million things on the go, and you're meeting with people at the highest levels.

00:34:28.940 It's such a pleasure to see.

00:34:30.580 I saw you, I follow you on Twitter, of course, and I saw you at the UN, and I thought, that's pretty cool.

00:34:36.020 And one of the good guys, I thought, because, you know, there are some folks on the other side there.

00:34:40.700 Well, let's keep in touch, you and me, and maybe, I don't know, if we can help you.

00:34:46.460 I'd love to.

00:34:47.380 You have a lot of support out there, though, already, so it's wonderful to see.

00:34:51.060 Thanks for spending some time with us today.

00:34:53.300 My pleasure.

00:34:53.960 Thank you so much for having me, Ezra.

00:34:55.060 All right.

00:34:55.620 Good to see you.

00:34:56.280 There you have it.

00:34:56.980 Billboard Chris Elston, one of the good guys, that's for sure,

00:34:59.800 who had great expense to himself, not just in money, but time.

00:35:03.640 I mean, his total energy he's deployed to this is enormous.

00:35:07.780 What a pleasure to catch up with him.

00:35:10.060 Stay with us.

00:35:10.900 More ahead.

00:35:23.060 Hey, welcome back.

00:35:23.980 Your letters to me.

00:35:24.860 This one is about the Democrat Tim Walz in China.

00:35:28.180 Cat 637 says, all true communists are obliged to visit Chairman Mao as often as possible.

00:35:35.980 It's in Walz's little red book.

00:35:37.960 I don't know if that's true, but it is so unusual to visit China 30 times. 0.99

00:35:45.100 And there's just no way that he wasn't at least a useful idiot in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party. 1.00

00:35:55.520 Xi Van Fleet suggests he was more than just a useful idiot. 1.00

00:35:58.100 He was a true believer who was eager to go along with it. 0.99

00:36:00.700 And I think there's some truth to that.

00:36:01.900 The fact that he scheduled his wedding for the anniversary of Tiananmen Square so he could remember it.

00:36:12.020 I really think that would be like choosing 9-11 as your wedding day so you could remember it.

00:36:19.960 But it's an awful day of death and sorrow and humiliation and setback and pain.

00:36:27.480 Why would you associate any of those negative things with your wedding, which is a happy day of hope and the future and love, unless you thought the day itself was a happy day?

00:36:38.500 So I'm sure there are some jihadists who get married on 9-11. 0.60

00:36:42.680 If you really planned your wedding around the Tiananmen Square Massacre, that suggests to me that you sort of like that day. 0.58

00:36:51.800 That's creepy.

00:36:53.900 Bob Crone says he's learned to be like Kamala and talk forever and never answer the question.

00:36:59.860 You're so right.

00:37:00.680 Kamala Harris says very little.

00:37:02.840 She does say some things, like when she talks about the future unburdened by the past.

00:37:09.460 That has a communist flavor to it.

00:37:11.060 You know who's the absolute worst of that in the whole world?

00:37:13.300 In the whole world.

00:37:15.300 Chrystia Freeland.

00:37:17.460 And the media party, the press gallery, the regime reporters, they let her get away with it. 0.95

00:37:21.860 But if she is ever the leader of the Liberal Party, that will not sail.

00:37:25.940 I mean, she is just, it's such an abusive way of talking. 1.00

00:37:29.040 It's a form of gaslighting in itself.

00:37:30.720 On the coming October 7th anniversary, Corinne Sauvé says,

00:37:38.720 Ezra, you were always so on the mark.

00:37:40.200 You were correct in saying that nobody listens to Canada anymore.

00:37:43.400 It was just proven with Trudeau speaking to an almost empty room at the UN.

00:37:47.440 And Jolie, also at the UN, what a complete and utter disgrace.

00:37:51.220 For all of us, this government has to be stopped and leave.

00:37:55.760 I mean, look, Canada is a middle-sized country, a middle-sized economy.

00:38:00.860 Unfortunately, we're no longer a middle power.

00:38:03.680 I think we used to have some international cachet.

00:38:07.200 I think people respected Canada because we did things historically.

00:38:10.540 We punched above our weight, as the saying goes.

00:38:13.460 That hasn't been through in a long time.

00:38:15.500 I'm not a big fan of peacekeeping.

00:38:17.300 I don't think it really meant a lot.

00:38:18.880 I suppose it was a symbol.

00:38:21.820 And Canada, that was something we were sort of proud of.

00:38:25.200 But we haven't done that.

00:38:27.860 We don't have the equipment.

00:38:29.300 We've demoralized our troops.

00:38:31.700 And I think that's deliberate.

00:38:33.000 You know, I literally think we have sent precisely one tank to Ukraine.

00:38:40.700 Now, put aside whether we should send weapons and money to Ukraine.

00:38:43.280 I'm not talking about that.

00:38:44.660 All of Trudeau's talk, we just don't have working equipment.

00:38:48.640 And remember when Bill Blair bragged about training F-16 pilots in Canada?

00:38:54.040 That's got to be a lie because we don't have F-16s.

00:38:57.320 We have very old F-18s.

00:39:00.140 I'm not sure how many of them even work.

00:39:01.700 And we can't fly alongside NATO because, you know, the F-35s, the F-22s, a whole generation newer.

00:39:09.400 You can't really fly an F-18, an old-fashioned F-18 alongside an F-35.

00:39:14.880 I'm laughing, but it's not funny at all.

00:39:16.840 It's very sad.

00:39:18.160 That's why I had a little bit of hope when Aaron Gunn showed us his documentary.

00:39:22.040 I thought, boy, if Aaron Gunn can be elected, I think he's got a good chance of being elected.

00:39:27.920 I think he would have a good chance of making it in Pierre Polyev's cabinet.

00:39:31.940 Aaron is such a good communicator.

00:39:33.380 For that alone, I hope he would be.

00:39:34.960 I didn't know he had served in the Canadian Armed Forces before.

00:39:38.180 I just, I'm clinging to hope here, people.

00:39:41.720 I'm clinging to hope that however dark things are now, they'll get brighter.

00:39:44.940 You know, they say it's always darkest before the dawn.

00:39:48.000 Well, that's the show for today.

00:39:49.800 Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home,

00:39:53.860 good night and keep fighting for freedom.

00:40:01.700 We'll see you well.

00:40:02.560 We'll see you next week.

00:40:18.560 Bye-bye.
