00:02:22.460Congress will try to reel him in, and it will just be an endless fight going on for a couple of years leading into the presidential election.
00:02:30.960Not clear if Democrats will do what they did last time and try to impeach him.
00:03:42.260The Democrats have responded by nominating a slate of candidates across the country that includes some of the most radical people ever to run for office in this country.
00:03:50.720And so if the Republicans have a chance at holding at least the Senate, it will be because Democrats overplayed their hand and went with some pretty radical people.
00:05:11.620Leave aside the Islamic stuff and the Muslim Brotherhood stuff and the far left-wing policies.
00:05:18.860He has an aggressive demeanor that has come out in the last few weeks when he's been challenged in some of his policies and associations that I think is a real turnoff to voters.
00:05:27.380And ultimately, it turned off one voter in particular named Haley Stevens, who was the Democrat member of Congress who ran against him in the primary.
00:05:35.520And she had endorsed him after she lost him, but she has now withdrawn her endorsement and she's backing the Republican Mike Rogers.
00:05:42.440I just think his bedside manner, you know, to borrow a medical term, even though he's not actually a licensed physician, his bedside manner leaves a lot to be desired.0.82
00:05:51.080Voters don't want someone who's aggressive, who yells, who's Xiaohi.0.52
00:05:55.020I think that he has lost sight of the people he's trying to represent.
00:06:05.340He's got to do whatever you do to win.
00:06:07.240But where he has really gone wrong is when he's asked difficult questions, unlike Barack Obama or even James Tallarico, who might win in Texas, he doesn't roll with it.
00:06:17.100He doesn't use a kind of verbal jujitsu to empathize while also giving the kind of answer he wants.
00:06:26.820And somebody close to him ought to really tell him not to do that.0.95
00:06:29.940But maybe he damn told him he doesn't listen.0.52
00:06:32.200But I think it could cost him swing votes.0.98
00:06:34.000I think it's going to cost him the votes of some women.0.94
00:06:35.580And I can't see him winning. If he does win, then there was so much anger in the electorate against Trump that it was a foregone conclusion and it didn't matter who they ran. But I do think that he is in trouble at Michigan. And I think the Haley Stevens switch on the last weekend before Election Day could really affect the result and perhaps the control of the Senate.
00:06:53.360Wow. You mentioned James Tallarico. He's a candidate running in Texas. And to me, the idea that Texas might turn Democrat is so contrary to the way the world ought to be.
00:07:06.280I mean, I know in the past, of course, it has been Democrat, but a different kind of Democrat, an LBJ Democrat, let's say the idea that a woke left, you know, like some of his statements are so college professor left wing radical and even his personal style.
00:07:26.880But he, like Abdul El-Syed, is polling very strongly.
00:07:31.900I just can't believe that Texas might turn Democrat.0.64
00:07:38.000Well, in Texas, it's not so much about James Tallarico's strength as about Ken Paxton's weakness.
00:07:43.080Ken Paxton is a very flawed candidate.
00:07:44.820He ran against a weak incumbent, John Cornyn.
00:07:47.880John Cornyn was unpopular because he had taken a number of moderate stances that were at odds with what the conservative base wanted.
00:07:54.580And he had done so repeatedly and sort of stuck his thumb in the eye of Republicans.
00:07:58.760He had been very liberal on immigration reform, for example.
00:08:01.900So he really had fallen out of touch with his base.
00:08:05.200But the challenge that came from Ken Paxton might be a little too much for many Texas voters to swallow.
00:08:12.480Ken Paxton had had some ethical questions.
00:08:14.700He was acquitted by the legislature when he was impeached.
00:08:17.360But he was impeached as a state office holder.
00:08:21.300And he is a guy with a lot of baggage. And so I think that if Tallarico wins Texas, it's largely because Republicans just couldn't stomach Ken Paxton.
00:08:32.880Having said that, I don't think Tallarico's chances are that good. And I do think Texas will probably barely stay in the Republican column.
00:08:41.200Again, I could eat those words on Wednesday or Thursday, but as you mentioned, Tallarico really just does not represent Texas in any kind of cultural way.
00:08:49.260It's very hard to think of Texas electing a guy who believes that there are six genders and God might be non-binary.
00:08:55.120The fact that he's walking it all back right now just makes him look inauthentic.
00:08:57.940So I don't know that he's got what it takes.
00:09:00.940I think if the Democrats had run someone a little stronger, perhaps they might have had a chance or a better chance.
00:09:07.160And if he does, it'll be because of the defections from Republicans.
00:09:10.180But, you know, again, there's a lot of sentiment in this election. And it's almost because Trump did a good job relative to his promises than rather than because he did a bad job.
00:09:23.240I mean, I think what happens in American politics is when you have a very energetic president, whether on the left or the right, it excites an opposition that's equally energetic.
00:09:31.800And you saw that with Obama in the Tea Party wave of 2010.
00:09:36.420Obama wasn't a particularly effective president, but it was very energetic.
00:09:39.820And passing Obamacare was a huge achievement for Democrats.
00:09:42.440And that triggered a huge response from Republicans.
00:09:45.800And I think we're seeing the same thing among Democrats, that they are so incensed at the fact that Trump is able to do some of these things, even if they might be good for the country, like securing the border and that type of thing.
00:09:56.280they're so energized by that fact that it almost doesn't matter whether Trump is doing a good job
00:10:00.820or a bad job. They don't like the fact that he's doing a job. So they get mobilized. And I think
00:10:05.780that's just part of the American temperament. We don't like being governed. So when we see someone
00:10:09.540else governing in an energetic way, it increases our desire to do the governing. And I think it's
00:10:15.080a bit of a pendulum effect as well. I've become a single issue voter. I just have to say,
00:10:20.500especially after my travels to Europe, which I do quite frequently, I believe that immigration is
00:10:25.580more important than every other issue combined and in fact it impacts every other issue combined
00:10:31.340from crime to housing to inflation and troublingly to cultural misfit and i was recently in paris
00:10:40.640during the riots and you know i just see what happens especially with immigration from deeply
00:10:48.200anti-semitic countries we see that in canada too by the way um will donald trump be able
00:10:55.480to hold the line, given that the ICE and a lot of the border control is within his executive power.
00:11:02.660Will he be able to hold the line on immigration, even if he does lose the House and the Senate?
00:11:08.480I think so. I think that he's going to be able to use his executive authority to keep the border
00:11:13.000patrol on the case. And I think the border will remain secure. What happened after 2028 is
00:11:19.520anybody's guess. But I do think that Trump will be able to secure the border. And I think if the
00:11:25.640Democrats refuse to fund Border Patrol, although I think it's fully funded now through 2030,
00:11:30.980I think if they refuse to fund it or they try to pull a shutdown like they did last time they took
00:11:35.400Congress while he was president, I think it's going to backfire because this time he has shown
00:11:40.260he really can do it, that all it took to secure the border was political will. You know, we were
00:11:44.240told for so many years by Joe Biden, press secretary, that we could not have a secure
00:11:49.080border until we had comprehensive immigration reform. It was a form of blackmail, really,
00:11:53.580for extortions. They were saying, we won't do our constitutional duty to secure the border
00:11:58.100unless we get this legislation passed that would allow millions of illegal aliens to become
00:12:03.000citizens to vote for us. And that's just not a deal Republicans are willing to make, and rightly so.1.00
00:12:09.180Trump's come in and said, look, all you needed was someone who could actually enforce the law
00:12:12.060and free the Border Patrol to do their jobs. He did that. So now you have a secure border,
00:12:16.320And you haven't had to pass any legislation. So I'm like you, actually. I'm a one issue voter. I was certainly in 2024. The border was my issue because I care a lot about other things. And, you know, I care a lot about Israel and Jewish Americans.
00:12:28.280But the problem in the United States with anti-Semitism and anti-Israel sentiment was coming from new arrivals to the country, or if not the arrivals themselves, certainly the first generation, which hit university campuses and decided that what made it reconcile their Western identity and their Muslim identity was to go for the anti-Israel movement, which exists still very much on the fringes of both left and right.
00:12:51.620But it was the way they would try to pull together these two worlds that I suppose in their ordinary personal lives were constantly at odds with one another.
00:13:03.880You know, he's very American in other ways and yet supported the Muslim Brotherhood in a letter in 2012 urging him to purge the police in Egypt.
00:13:12.600What does he care about what the Muslim Brotherhood does in Egypt?
00:13:15.220But, you know, I think he is trying to reconcile his two identities through this left wing politics.
00:13:22.660And in this country, in the United States, there are two commitments that this country has made to Jewish Americans.
00:13:28.280One is a foundational commitment by George Washington in that wonderful document, A Letter to the Jewish Community at Newport, in which he promised that Jews would never have to feel afraid in the United States.
00:13:39.800That's a commitment from George Washington.
00:13:41.520It's important to members of other faiths as well, because in that letter, George Washington outlines his view of religious freedom generally.
00:13:47.140So it's not just a kind of private or parochial promise to the Jewish community.
00:13:51.400It's a general statement of religious tolerance.
00:13:53.460Nobody should be afraid of religious violence.
00:13:55.780And the other commitment is one that was made in the 20th century, which is that the United States of Israel would be as close as two allies can possibly be.0.83
00:14:04.120And in comes a new population over the last 20 years, 30 years, perhaps, and decides that they're going to violate both of these commitments.
00:14:13.380You don't get to come here and overturn something that was hard fought by a community that contributed to this country, that fought for its place in this country, that fought discrimination for years.
00:14:23.660A community whose path, in many ways, blazed the path for the Muslim community.
00:14:28.220I mean, I had a friend once in San Francisco who was representing a Pakistani immigrant in an immigration proceeding.
00:14:37.600And she said, I wonder if he knows I'm Jewish.
00:14:40.200And I wonder if he knew what he would think about that.
00:14:43.380Jews have often been at the forefront of defending new immigrants
00:14:46.620and sometimes, I think, to our detriment
00:14:49.280because some of the new arrivals have been hostile to
00:14:52.580Jewish state and the Jewish community. I think that
00:14:55.440the Muslim community needs better leadership
00:14:58.520and it needs leadership that says, hang on a minute, we have to learn1.00
00:15:01.540how to live with this pre-existing environment. You don't have to like everything about it
00:15:04.620but this is how the United States works.
00:15:07.600We have a strong relationship with Israel as a fellow democracy,
00:16:55.980He's not great at making groups feel like he speaks for them as well.
00:17:00.140And maybe that's part of being vice president.
00:17:03.120You always seem a little bit secondary to the president.
00:17:06.000But I just cannot see him winning a general election.
00:17:09.900Whether he wins the nomination will depend on whether another Republican emerges to make that case strongly enough and quickly enough where he loses support and you can see people consolidating behind another Republican.
00:17:20.940I think Marco Rubio would be a shoo-in both for the nomination and for the presidency, but he's already said he's not running.
00:17:26.240And I think he just may not want to rock the boat right now because he knows that it would be a very bruising internal fight if he ran for the presidency right now.
00:17:36.580Ted Cruz is almost certainly running, and he will prosecute the case against J.D. Vance.
00:17:40.260I don't know that he'll do any better than he did when he ran against Trump in 2016.
00:17:45.900But we could also see other Republicans emerge as possible contenders.
00:17:50.380On the Democratic side, Gavin Newsom is, in my world, the frontrunner, even though the polls say maybe he's in second or third place. He represents experience in governing, even if it's not great experience. He governs the biggest state, one of the most important Democratic states. And he is very good at cultivating an image of competence, even if not a reality. So I think he's in the prime position to secure the nomination.
00:18:15.540Right now, the polls say, even in California, AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is the favorite choice. That's because the left is very, very active, and they're very much into political authenticity. Mainstream establishment politicians don't exude authenticity. They exude compromise. They exude a kind of convenience and pragmatism that is not in vogue at the moment.
00:18:38.700But AOC really doesn't know what she's doing, ever.
00:18:41.920And so I don't think she's really a candidate that can win a general election.
00:18:45.620I think there are enough Democrats who know that.
00:18:47.680So I think Newsom becomes the default after a while.
00:18:50.040There are other Democrats who will come out of the workbook.
00:18:52.800Kamala Harris has no chance because she lost last time.0.85
00:18:55.340And donors aren't going to rally behind someone who lost.
00:18:58.040So I think Gavin Newsom is still the odds-on favorite.
00:19:00.960Pete Buttigieg, also just no track record of doing anything successfully.
00:20:08.420David Menzies for Rebel News here in New Hamburg Ontario and folks I'm standing outside
00:20:16.220Legion Branch number 532 and if you had to give a headline to this story I think it would be this
00:20:25.860how low can you go and what I mean by that folks is that recently a memorial banner here in New
00:20:35.340Hamburg honoring a Canadian soldier who gave his life serving Canada was actually vandalized with
00:20:44.320spray paint. Private Tyler Todd died in 2010 in Afghanistan due to an improvised explosive device
00:20:52.540and a banner marking the ultimate sacrifice of Private Todd had been raised here just prior to
00:21:01.900Remembrance Day. The banner was one of 281 on display in New Hamburg as well as nearby Plattsville
00:21:11.740and Wellesley honouring those veterans who served their country. Now that seems to me
00:21:19.560a wonderful thing to do to honour our veterans in such a way but if you can imagine some people
00:21:28.320had a problem with this, and so it was Private Todd's banner was vandalized. Now, there is some
00:21:36.620security footage of what happened around 2 a.m. on October 24th. Here, check it out. Now, he reached
00:21:45.360out to the Waterloo Police Service, and there is an ongoing investigation into this crime.
00:21:52.620a spokeswoman stated, quote, we conducted a comprehensive and extensive canvas of the area
00:22:00.140and are reviewing several CCTV videos that were obtained. The Waterloo Regional Police Service
00:22:10.300will not tolerate acts of vandalism targeting memorials or signs that honour our veterans
00:22:17.540and fallen military members. These acts are deeply disrespectful to those who served and
00:22:24.880sacrificed for our country, and we are treating this investigation with the seriousness it
00:22:31.940deserves. But folks, if you can believe it, the banner desecration was merely the latest act
00:22:39.260of vandalism against veterans in New Hamburg. Back in August, someone or some people vandalized
00:22:48.680the local cenotaph here. Of note, the names of prominent leftist individuals and organizations
00:22:56.240were written on the cenotaph. This includes federal NDP leader Avi Lewis, author Naomi Klein,
00:23:03.800And commentator Hassan Piker, by the way, Piker is that American kook commentator who once stated that, quote, America deserved 9-11, end quote.
00:23:18.860Now, also amongst the graffiti were the initials DSA, which is presumably a reference to the Democratic Socialists of America.
00:23:28.620That would be that cabal of Marxists and Islamists who seem to be unofficially running the Democratic Party these days.
00:23:38.160In any event, my cameraman Mitch and I have traveled to New Hamburg.
00:23:42.700It's a small town of 15,000, about 90 minutes west of Toronto.
00:23:48.380And here we are at the local Legion branch.
00:23:51.500let's see if we can find someone here at the Legion that wants to weigh in on this grotesque
00:23:58.540vandalization. Well folks, I'm with Bob Neubauer. He is the Veterans Service Officer here at the
00:24:07.640New Hamburg Legion. And Bob, I gotta ask you, what is going on in this town? First, the desecration
00:24:18.700of that banner honoring private todd and in august um the cenotaph being vandalized and
00:24:28.720this is a small town of 15 000 people who has a problem with remembrance day and remembering
00:24:37.220our great warriors that made the ultimate sacrifice i really wish i had answers to any
00:24:45.260those questions we're a small rural town in ontario remembrance day is a big deal for us
00:24:57.180why someone would want to desecrate first of all a cenotaph last august and now a memorial banner
00:25:07.340especially for a young Canadian lad who was killed on April 11th in 2010 in Afghanistan.
00:25:17.620He was born and raised in Bright, Ontario, not too far out of New Hamburg.
00:25:25.060But because they don't have a legion there, we've sort of adopted his cause
00:25:29.440and we got permission from his family to produce a banner.
00:25:34.400and he went in a place of honor right at the corners of the main streets in town
00:25:42.860along with another young lad who died in service a couple years ago Danny's there
00:25:50.360I don't know why someone would be would have a problem with with any of the banners but
00:25:57.900much less that one but here we are you know it's inexplicable to me i mean i i personally have a
00:26:05.640problem of so many people who don't wear the poppy uh come remembrance day but at the end of the day
00:26:11.740it's your choice i suppose but to i don't know do some kind of political or ideological agenda
00:26:17.840to carry out acts of vandalism against our veterans i think bob that's beyond the pale
00:26:24.660Well, I'd have to agree. I don't see any kind of a defense that someone could make, you know, if they ever did get caught.
00:26:32.980I don't know what their defense would be other than just, you know, raising pure hell and causing a lot of dismay
00:26:41.220and a lot of problems for a family that just has had their share of heartaches in the past, and they just don't need any more, you know.
00:26:50.180It's grotesque. Tell me, the desecration of Private Todd's memorial, was there anything said, or was it just so much spray paint desecrating it?
00:27:02.160It's hard to tell. I can show you the banner. It's in my van. It appears as though they tried to write Me Too.
00:27:14.460I have no idea what the connection is to a banner. No idea. It's just, you know, we're looking at it as vandalism. People are saying maybe it should be a hate crime, and I'm not sure I disagree with that.
00:27:30.640You know, we can only speculate. Is this someone or some people, because I understand two individuals were caught on security camera footage.
00:27:42.800Is this somebody with a grievance against the Canadian military or is it something personal they had with Private Todd?
00:27:53.920because i see so many banners it's a beautiful display of so many wonderful veterans um do you
00:28:00.560i guess what i'm getting at bob do you think there would be any reason why they would have
00:28:05.840targeted private todd's banner yes out of the 260 odd banners that we have up
00:28:15.760the one for private todd as i mentioned earlier is a special location at the four corners in
00:33:05.680Someone is going to say something to somebody.
00:33:08.160And, you know, I talked to the police this morning at length,
00:33:12.100and they've dedicated a whole bunch of resources to this.
00:33:16.260It's just not something that should happen in a small Ontario town.
00:33:21.880I don't think it's something that should happen anywhere in our dominion, Bob.
00:33:26.680And what sticks in my craw about this, it's not just the criminal act,
00:33:34.140the desecration of property that you have no right to do,
00:33:38.880but it is the ingratitude of these individuals the idea that so many of the men on these banners on
00:33:47.160display they gave their lives to preserve our rights and freedom the rights and freedom for
00:33:53.920these people to walk around I guess with spray paint and markers and whatnot and yet they don't
00:33:59.860seem to care and in fact they have some sort of visceral hatred for the veterans you know can you
00:34:07.760connect those dots for me, Bob? I don't think I can. As I say, along with the banner, there was
00:34:15.140damage done to a couple of bus stops. You know, so do they hate buses. It's, you know, I think it's
00:34:21.360just because the banner was there, there was an access to it because of the trash can. If the
00:34:27.320trash can hadn't been there, I don't think they would have touched the banner. You know, how are
00:34:32.140going to reach it you know i i'm not sure that it's a hatred towards the military or or things
00:34:39.100canadian um i think it was just two people that happened to have a can of spray paint and nothing
00:34:47.420else to do at two o'clock in the morning absolutely astonishing and bob i want to ask in in the big
00:34:54.780picture i mean i'm looking at this gorgeous mural here and it's the classic phrase we associate
00:35:01.980with those who gave their lives in battle lest we forget and what i'm getting at is we go back to
00:35:10.700november 2019 don cherry calling out people for not wearing the poppy i don't think he said
00:35:17.260anything outrageous in fact we proved it that year we or the following year we went to the corner of
00:35:23.260young and dundas in downtown toronto at 10 minutes before 11 a.m on november the 11th
00:35:31.020and i was shocked bob easily more than 95 percent of passers-by were not wearing the poppy here
00:35:39.740check it out folks the phrase around this time of year is less we forget have people just forgotten
00:35:46.460well i don't know if any of them really are that interested you know they're too busy making money
00:35:53.980you know so they don't consider it a privilege to live in this country they want us to forget
00:36:01.100our heritage and to fill it with a vacuum of their choosing i would say it looks like
00:36:09.580a sheer number of people have forgotten and um but this is next level this is carrying out
00:36:17.020you know uh basically a crime spree uh to these uh monuments um but going back to my original
00:36:24.940premise bob why is it just the passage of time that people aren't paying enough attention they're
00:36:33.100they're not making the effort to go out buy a poppy and display it at least for one day
00:36:39.520for those people that gave their lives well that's a big question I've been I'm a vet so
00:36:49.120selling poppies is is a big issue for me I've been doing it for 35 years I suppose and it's
00:37:01.540a little disheartening when you know people walk by and they just don't acknowledge you when you're
00:37:06.700standing there trying to pin poppies or distribute them um it's a little unfortunate you know i've
00:37:15.180gone through malls in brampton and toronto around remembrance day and you're right 95 percent of
00:37:20.300people don't wear a poppy and it's it's unfortunate part of it might be because well you know what do
00:37:27.300you do with the money you know where does the money go what what good is my ten dollars going
00:37:32.580to do the royal canadian legion so this year in every poppy box that we've distributed throughout
00:37:39.920the whole area we broke down exactly where the funds go you know um so lack of education
00:37:49.500lack of history just lack of caring i guess um it's shameful to me bob but i have no other word
00:38:00.400And one last thing. Can I say one more? Absolutely. I totally agree with Don Cherry. I agreed 100 percent the night he said that. I've agreed with him 100 percent ever since then.
00:38:12.800And it's scary. Someone of his gravitas, someone who's a legend, someone responsible for the most watched eight minutes of TV in Canada every week got cancelled for saying the truth.
00:38:26.860And Bob, I would say if they can cancel Don Cherry, they can cancel anyone.
00:38:33.800We're celebrating our 100th anniversary in Canada.
00:38:37.240So 1926, the Legion started up. We're still here. We're still strong.
00:38:42.320We've got 377,000 members across Canada.
00:38:46.540In small towns like New Hamburg, we are the center of town.
00:38:50.860You know, we do the banquets and the dances and the meat draws and all that sort of stuff.
00:38:55.980Whatever we make keeps the doors open and the rest goes to look after legions, sorry, veterans, veterans' families, veterans' children, whatever it takes.
00:39:09.700It seems that not a year goes by where there is what I call a Remembrance Day bozo eruption.0.83
00:39:18.400And what I mean by that, it's something like a major retailer sending a security guard out to the parking lot to give a veteran selling poppies the heave ho.
00:39:29.480um some reprobate going into a convenience store or a coffee shop and stealing the poppy box just
00:39:38.460for just to uh presumably get the money in it and what i'm getting at bob is that when these stories
00:39:45.160uh are publicized the rage out there it's basically i don't care who you are what you
00:39:54.580believe in don't screw with the veterans and i guess what i'm leaning up to is if and when these
00:40:01.660people are identified well bob i wouldn't want to be in their shoes well tyler todd was a member of
00:40:09.500the first battalion princess patricia's canadian light infantry um i've heard from about seven or
00:40:16.120eight uh ex-members of that regiment and i sure hope the police find them before those fellows do
00:40:24.660Yeah, well, you know, to be clear, I'm not kind of advocating any vigilantism.
00:40:30.020I just mean the blowback they're going to get from the public,
00:40:34.300if they're employed, perhaps losing their jobs.
00:40:37.740Who would want somebody like that on staff?
00:40:40.420So let's see what happens in the days and weeks ahead.
00:40:43.480I know Waterloo Regional Police is actively investigating this.
00:40:47.720And maybe there'll be a modicum of justice.
00:40:50.340and maybe we'll find out if the same people are responsible for the banner desecration
00:40:55.460who vandalized the cenotaph in august last word goes to you bob well i i don't know um
00:41:06.660again being a small town we're we're just not used to this sort of behavior
00:41:11.940i know in larger urban areas you know there's always that fringe element you know that that
00:41:17.540is going to go out of their way to cause a problem but we're just not used to it in in small town
00:41:23.300kids here you know we're active in all the schools here and have been for years and years
00:41:29.380so anybody educated anywhere around town or anywhere in the area they're they're brought up
00:41:34.980you know they they know how to respect not just remembrance day and and the veterans but the whole
00:41:42.580concept of remembrance and and you know the old story be kind it's free you know
00:41:50.020Bob this is indeed the banner of private Tyler Todd it has been desecrated I think
00:41:58.900you're right they were trying to write some sort of message on it first things
00:42:05.620first is this recoverable can you remove this paint stain no okay no we've tried
00:42:12.560different cleaners different solvents the township has offered their services with
00:42:18.000special solvents that they can order but to no avail we're not able to clean it
00:42:24.720as i i don't know if i mentioned before initially the todd family wanted it left up
00:42:31.040but then later changed their mind they found it distressing which is fair ball so then they asked
00:42:37.840to take it down, so I went up yesterday on a ladder, took it down, took it over to Ritz
00:42:46.400Printing, the people that produced it, and they tried with their cleaners and that sort of thing,
00:42:53.680and just no luck at all. So ultimately, Bob, the way I look at things in the final analysis,
00:42:59.320this was lose-lose for the Vandals. I'll tell you why. You're going to have a brand new
00:43:03.660uh placard go up for private todd and i bet you with all the awareness that's being generated
00:43:11.240people are going to well vote with their wallets maybe make a little extra donation uh to the
00:43:18.640legion uh if that's the only thing they can do uh i imagine people that support the legion people
00:43:26.080who support our veterans will do that what say you i hope so okay um you know we talked earlier
00:43:33.600about pinning poppies and I've been doing it for 35 years some people you know
00:43:39.780you can count on them year after year you know they're gonna show up with a
00:43:43.260sizable donation or a small donation whatever they can afford and they're
00:43:47.400gonna support it other people it's just another day in the week folks before my
00:43:53.280camera woman and I head back to Toronto we thought we would drop by the cenotaph
00:43:58.200pay our respects. And, you know, it's kind of funny, isn't it? Not in a good way. The slogan
00:44:06.500we associate with the veterans and with those who died in battle is, lest we forget. But as far as
00:44:14.760I'm concerned, I don't know what it is. Maybe just the passage of time too many people have
00:44:22.200You might recall Don Cherry in what would become the last episode of Coach's Corner back in November 2019.
00:44:32.980He said as much himself. Check it out.
00:44:36.520You people love you. They come here, whatever it is. You love our way of life. You love our milk and honey.
00:44:42.660At least you can pay a couple of bucks for poppies or something like that.
00:44:46.580These guys pay for your way of life that you enjoy in Canada.
00:44:50.780these guys paid the biggest price anyhow i'm going to run it again for you great people
00:44:56.260and good canadians that bought a poppy i'm still going to run it anyhow i love you for it you know
00:45:03.100isn't it amazing folks grapes was responsible for the most watched eight minutes of tv every week
00:45:12.220and presumably because some snowflake would be offended by the truth.
00:45:19.740Well, I guess they can't handle the truth, as the saying goes.
00:45:23.360And for that reason, they made Don Cherry a sacrificial lamb.
00:45:28.040And by the way, if they can cancel a legend, an icon like Don Cherry, they can cancel anyone.
00:45:36.040But that's the thing that makes this story in New Hamburg so egregious, so outrageous.
00:45:42.560It's not merely a matter of people not caring anymore.
00:45:46.640It's not merely a matter of people not putting a couple of bucks in a box to buy a poppy and proudly display it.
00:45:54.760No, for as we've seen, we have some reprobates in this town that are going out of their way to vandalize the cenotaph.
00:46:03.820They are going out of their way in the wee hours of the morning to vandalize banners honoring the war dead that fought so hard for our country and paid the ultimate price.
00:46:19.480Bottom line, folks, as I mentioned in the preamble, Waterloo Police Service are investigating this crime.
00:46:27.420And I'll tell you something, if and when the reprobates that did this vandalism are identified and charged, I sure wouldn't want to be in their shoes.0.79
00:46:41.320For Rebel News, I'm David the Menzoid Menzies.
00:46:45.920Hey folks, I know you appreciate it when Rebel News brings you the other side of the story, but the fact is we need your help.
00:46:52.820Unlike the trained seals in the mainstream media, we do not receive a single nickel of Mark Carney's journalism slush fund.
