Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hello, my Rebels. Today I'm going to tell you a little bit about the Let's Go Brandon phenomenon.
00:00:04.700 Now you know what that is. That's an NBC journalist pretended that people saying F-U-C-K Joe Biden
00:00:10.940 were actually saying Let's Go Brandon. But I want to show you what one Southwest pilot
00:00:15.140 allegedly said when his plane landed and how a left-wing journalist activist is trying to make it
00:00:21.960 into a firing offense. I'll take you through it. I think it's an interesting story that shows how
00:00:27.180 terrified the media is of anyone who can break the narrative. I'll go through that today, but before
00:00:32.300 I do, let me invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus. That's the video version of this

00:00:57.180 You're listening to Rebel News Podcast.
00:01:07.840 Tonight, the story of a pilot who told a three-word joke, and now the world wants him fired. It's
00:01:14.200 November 1st, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:19.380 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:22.920 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:27.260 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's my
00:01:31.860 bloody right to do so.
00:01:38.840 Here's U.S. President Joe Biden having a well-deserved nap at the Global Warming Conference in Glasgow,
00:01:46.120 Scotland. Biden works so hard, often putting in two or three hours before calling it a day.
00:01:54.200 Forgive the guy for taking a quick nap. I think we can all agree, without even hearing what he was
00:01:59.220 listening to, the speech that was being said at that moment, that it would make anyone fall asleep.
00:02:05.440 I mean, the world weighs heavily on Biden when he's awake, that is. The tyrants of Russia and China
00:02:11.440 are not coming to the global warming thing. I don't know. Russia's too busy selling oil and gas to
00:02:18.920 the West. Biden is begging them and OPEC to increase their oil production because Biden cleverly shut down
00:02:27.080 the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada. Biden, however, did approve a Russian pipeline into Europe.
00:02:35.700 I guess that's a different kind of CO2 or whatever. China is too busy to come to a fake meeting about
00:02:43.200 fake things. If they're not busy launching hypersonic missiles that catch the West off guard,
00:02:50.260 they're busy launching Tyconauts, that's what they call astronauts, into space to work on their
00:02:55.120 space station. By the way, I saw this story in the New York Times. Lucky for us, Democrats are shutting
00:03:01.760 down the gifted student program in schools. De Blasio to phase out NYC gifted and talented
00:03:08.640 program. The mayor unveiled a plan to replace the highly selected program, which has become a glaring
00:03:14.880 symbol of segregation in New York City public schools for incoming students. I guess it is a sort of
00:03:23.080 segregation to have special programs for really talented kids. But it's based on talent. It's based
00:03:31.940 on merit. It's just a bit weird anyways to hear the Democratic Party in the New York Times, which are
00:03:37.780 all in favor of segregation based on medical status and vaccination status to complain against
00:03:43.740 segregation. I thought they were for that these days. Oh, and by the way, today is the day that New York
00:03:50.880 City suspended thousands of policemen, firemen, paramedics and sanitation workers. I wonder if
00:03:56.820 that will make New York citizens safer or healthier. If I were in a burning building and a fireman rushed
00:04:04.100 in to save me, I wouldn't first check if he were vaccinated before allowing him to rescue me.
00:04:11.380 They're actually closing down dozens of fire halls in New York City in the name of safety. Does that make
00:04:16.200 sense? Police and paramedics, same thing. But sanitation workers? I remember when Toronto,
00:04:22.760 a city less than half the size of New York, had a garbage strike. Yeah, it was atrocious. Parks were
00:04:29.480 turned into urban uncovered garbage dumps. I don't know if you know that. The raccoons loved it. Imagine
00:04:35.440 what the New York rats will do. But remember, it's for your health. Seriously, why would anyone care
00:04:42.860 if the sanitation workers have had their jab? Sanitation workers, a nice way of saying garbage
00:04:48.280 man. I mean, other than to lord it over them, to show them who's boss. Are you truly worried that the
00:04:56.080 guy picking up your dirty trash, you truly worried that he's not clean enough to pick up your garbage?
00:05:02.680 Get over yourself. Who would do that? So yeah, that's happening. I see some people fighting back.
00:05:11.300 I see a judge in Chicago has sided with the police union there and put on hold their mayor's plans
00:05:18.080 to have every cop in the city jabbed or fired. This is a win for the cops and for their union,
00:05:24.500 one of the few unions in North America that's protecting its workers rather than siding with
00:05:29.040 their employer. But really, it's also a blessing for that wacko mayor. She's truly hated. Listen to this.
00:05:35.080 I mean, she is a mask Nazi, if I can borrow a word. But not one thing.
00:06:05.060 And it's herself having a party, herself out for a photo op. She's just as bad as de Blasio in New
00:06:11.260 York. But the court actually did her a favor. Imagine if thousands of police were actually taken
00:06:15.460 off the streets of Chicago. Imagine the carnage. It already has one of the worst crime sprees in
00:06:22.660 America. Here's a fairly recent story in the Chicago Sun-Times. North, sorry, downtown shootings up
00:06:30.040 220 percent. Biggest spike in the city. People are fed up. Yeah. Like I say, that judge did Chicago's
00:06:36.300 mayor a favor by saving her from herself. A week or two ago, we told you about a wildcat strike
00:06:43.220 or more accurately, a work to rule at Southwest Airlines where thousands of flights were canceled
00:06:49.540 by airline workers rebelling against the forced vax. The airline lied for a while and the media party
00:06:55.840 joined in on the lie that the flights were canceled for reasons of weather. I just laugh at that because
00:07:01.540 oddly enough, that weather didn't affect any other airlines, just that one airline. But the truth came
00:07:06.840 out and Southwest did cave in actually and abandoned their vaccine extremism. So I sort of like Southwest
00:07:13.940 Airlines. I don't think I've ever flown on them. I wonder if we'll see something similar at Canada's
00:07:18.320 airlines. I'm afraid I'm pessimistic. But look at this news report. And I'm not sure if it even rises
00:07:23.980 to the standard of news. I'd call it more gossip or a rumor. It's from a reporter at the Associated
00:07:29.920 Press. But she's really an activist more than anything. Here's a tweet she wrote over the weekend.
00:07:36.740 That face when you're trying to go on vacation and then the pilot says the very thing you're working on
00:07:42.440 over the loudspeaker and you have to try to get him comment, but then also, or then almost get removed
00:07:50.320 from the plane. She's talking about the three-word slogan, let's go, Brandon. Brandon is a race car
00:08:01.080 driver in NASCAR, and he was being interviewed by a reporter at NBC Sports, and the crowd was chanting
00:08:07.320 F-U-C-K Joe Biden. F-Joe Biden. It's become a thing across America at sports events. And this NBC
00:08:16.000 reporter, I don't know if she genuinely thought they were saying, let's go, Brandon, or if she was just
00:08:23.760 embarrassed that they were swearing on TV. I don't think she was being political on purpose, but she
00:08:30.880 said this. Oh my God, it's just such an unbelievable moment. Brandon, you also told me, as you can hear
00:08:39.280 the chants from the crowd, let's go, Brandon. Yes, sister, they weren't chanting, let's go, Brandon.
00:08:47.960 But it was so funny. It was such obvious gaslighting, telling people they weren't hearing what they were
00:08:55.740 hearing at the moment they were hearing it. Let's go, Brandon, immediately caught on as a joke.
00:09:01.640 Everybody started saying, let's go, Brandon. For one thing, it didn't have a swear in it, so it was a
00:09:06.300 family-friendly, safe-for-work-whatever kind of chant. Second of all, it's funny. Third of all,
00:09:11.680 it's a reminder that the media lies to you, deceives you, takes sides against you. It was
00:09:17.260 taking ownership of their attempted misdirection. It's everywhere now. Let's go, Brandon. It's a bit
00:09:24.200 of an inside joke, I think, but half of America gets it. So back to the plane, back to South Wales
00:09:29.240 Airlines. And this activist reporter, now there are probably 100 people on that plane, but none of
00:09:37.240 them have come forward saying they heard what this attention-seeking reporter activist from AP claims
00:09:43.200 to have heard. But that part about getting the pilot's comment, she didn't send him a message or
00:09:50.120 an email or a text or whatever. She stood up and tried to get into the cockpit of the airplane.
00:09:59.380 She literally tried to get into the cockpit of a plane post 9-11. Let me quote,
00:10:06.660 Also, in defense of airline, I was asking them to open locked cockpit and probably sounded insane.
00:10:12.780 Yeah, that's called air rage, sister. You're trying to cancel a pilot. You're the one who should be
00:10:21.520 put on a no-fly list. You're going to go into the cockpit and interfere and interact and grill the
00:10:27.500 pilot landing a plane. Are you mad? Yes. And you admit that's exactly how you came across. So like I
00:10:34.440 say, there was no corroboration that he said this. Maybe he did, but I haven't seen it yet. Did he
00:10:40.300 really say, let's go, Brandon? I don't know. Let's go, Brandon. We have landed. I don't know.
00:10:47.720 These journalists like to hear things, don't they? But let's say that he said, let's go, Brandon.
00:10:53.660 It's not a swear. It's not vulgar. Is it political? Yeah, you bet it is. No more political than when
00:11:00.100 every corporation in America and half of them in Canada took a knee for Black Lives Matter or
00:11:05.560 celebrates Gay Pride Week or Trans Pride Week or whatever. I mean, woke capital is out of control.
00:11:12.480 Corporate America, corporate Canada is political every day. But here was one guy who allegedly,
00:11:18.580 and I don't know if I even believe it because we know the media lie, and this reporter already
00:11:23.040 admitted she's a bit off kilter. But even if it's true, okay, so what? If I were a Democrat like this
00:11:29.420 journalist surely is, I wouldn't like it. But no more than Republicans surely have to bite their
00:11:35.280 tongues every day when they're bombarded with the aforementioned corporate political campaigns. But
00:11:40.180 so what? Three words, let's go, Brandon, if he did say that. But they were three defiant words,
00:11:46.700 weren't they? By someone who isn't bending the knee, and the entire chant is just that, defiance.
00:11:53.100 Not just of Joe Biden, but mocking the media's cleanup crew. So here is a former FBI agent who
00:12:02.200 now works for CNN. As an experiment, I'd love for a Southwest Air pilot to say, long live ISIS,
00:12:11.500 before taking off. My guess is that one, the plane would be immediately grounded, two,
00:12:15.840 the pilot fired, and three, a statement issued by the airline within a matter of hours.
00:12:19.860 Yeah, sister, ISIS is a terrorist group that has declared war on America and blows up planes or
00:12:28.860 anything else. You're comparing a three-word, peaceful, tongue-in-cheek political joke with
00:12:35.480 real terrorism. You're crazy. But that's no different from the rest of the media political
00:12:42.400 industrial complex that's trying to criminalize simply being conservative. Here's a fake conservative
00:12:48.980 on the Democrat payroll, Jim Swift, with something called the bulwark. There's a difference between
00:12:54.060 making a joke about your train being delayed due to another train with a political candidate,
00:13:00.280 and basically saying, F-U-C-K, Joe Biden. But both are things that if you do them, you can get fired.
00:13:06.240 Yeah, mate, but he didn't say, F, Joe Biden. That would be rude. You don't want a pilot swearing.
00:13:12.540 He just said, let's go, Brandon. I didn't know that the left was against swearing. Who knew? I didn't
00:13:21.540 know they were against not swearing. Let's go, Brandon is not a swear. I didn't know the left was
00:13:29.460 against vulgarity, certainly in their presidential politics. I just didn't know that. Here's a series
00:13:35.600 of reminiscences by Greg Price. I borrowed these from his Twitter account. They're spot on.
00:13:40.880 Here's Democrat Robert De Niro showing that Democrats respect the presidency, and they certainly
00:13:46.900 wouldn't swear. I'm going to say one thing. Fuck Trump.
00:13:51.940 Oh, wow. Well, here's Democrat Madonna showing that Democrats respect the presidency, and
00:14:10.780 don't swear, and definitely don't incite violence. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing
00:14:19.660 up the White House. But I know that this won't change anything. Here's Democrat rapper Eminem
00:14:30.760 showing that Democrats respect the presidency, and don't swear, and aren't violent in their
00:14:35.400 language either. When I say fuck, you say Trump. Fuck Trump. Fuck Trump. And here's a little
00:14:44.380 more. I mean, besides being polite, Democrats would never abide anything sexist. You know,
00:14:53.940 Ivanka, that's a beautiful photo of you and your child. But let me just say, one mother to another,
00:15:00.240 do something about your dad's immigration practices, you feckless c**t. He listens to you.
00:15:06.880 You don't normally hear the c-word spoken on American TV, but look, it was important, guys.
00:15:15.940 I mean, Democrats are never rude. Yeah. Why are they freaking out about this pilot so badly?
00:15:24.900 Why are they hunting for him, trying to get him fired? That's so over the top, don't you think?
00:15:31.340 I think it's because this Let's Go Brandon thing is spreading. Someone has broken the official
00:15:37.660 narrative. It's underground. It's pure guerrilla. It's off script. It's unapproved. It's a groundswell.
00:15:44.800 It's contrary to the billions of dollars of official messaging. I mean, if they make fun of Joe Biden
00:15:50.940 and laugh about it, and if they come up with a new catchphrase, who knows what they'll make fun of
00:15:57.040 next? Anthony Fauci, maybe. Nancy Pelosi. Vaccines. The United Nations. Greta Thunberg. Who knows?
00:16:05.800 This pilot must be stopped, and he must be made into an example. And if we have to compare him to a
00:16:14.100 vulgar terrorist, well, so be it. Stay with us for more.
00:16:27.040 Welcome back. Well, as you know, it is our tradition to cover the big United Nations global
00:16:38.480 warming conferences. They are full of jargon. They call them COP or Conference of the Parties.
00:16:45.720 They're at COP26. That means this is the 26th time these bureaucrats, politicians, lawyers,
00:16:52.100 and lobbyists have had an annual reunion. Five-star all the way. Private jets stacked up at Glasgow's
00:17:01.420 airport. Huge entourages. Joe Biden arriving in, what, a 50-car caravan. But you, of course,
00:17:09.680 have to reduce your carbon footprint. I also noticed they weren't checking if people were
00:17:15.320 vaxxed. You have to check if you're vaxxed before you're allowed to have access to restaurants or in
00:17:21.440 Canada now. You can't even get on a plane if you don't meet the vax test. Not so these special people
00:17:27.420 because that's the thing. They're special and you're not. Well, we've sent Sheila Gunn-Reed to
00:17:32.840 five of these conferences. But this year, we're delighted to have boots on the ground in the
00:17:37.900 United Kingdom. Our new reporter there, Louis Brackpool, has made the journey up to Glasgow.
00:17:44.940 And he joins me now on the streets of that ancient city. Louis, how are you doing over there?
00:17:51.440 Hey, man. Yeah, all good. It's a little bit windy, but yeah, it's all good.
00:17:55.760 Well, I mean, you're there in Glasgow. We had to find all the hotels were taken other than,
00:18:01.900 you know, $4,000 a night presidential suites. We found you an economy class Airbnb and you went up
00:18:08.720 there on a low cost easy jet. Thanks for doing that mission for us. You're going economy class,
00:18:16.840 but are you getting a feel for some of the five-star luxury of the global warming elite?
00:18:25.200 Yeah. I mean, it's quite funny, isn't it? I flew in with easy jet. They flew private. So it just shows
00:18:31.520 the lack of integrity and just the hypocrisy from these elites coming here and telling us plebs what
00:18:39.920 to do. We've been speaking to a lot of people on the ground about that. All the demonstrations have
00:18:46.300 been about people pointing out the hypocrisies from other world leaders. But when you speak to
00:18:53.420 actual climate activists, they seem to be siding with them, which is really, really quite something.
00:19:00.700 Well, I mean, I understand pointing out the hypocrisy of Prince Charles or Boris Johnson
00:19:05.520 or Jeffrey Bezos, who flew in. But if there are climate activists like Greta Thunberg,
00:19:13.360 they came to Glasgow. They didn't walk. They didn't paddle on a kayak or a canoe. So,
00:19:20.440 I mean, I, I feel fine criticizing these global warming activists because I don't believe that
00:19:27.120 the world's about to end. I don't believe carbon dioxide is evil. And I believe that the earth is
00:19:33.820 warmed and cooled naturally over the millennia. I've heard of the ice ages. And I know that that
00:19:40.100 happened before the automobile was invented. So the, the cooling and the warming. So when I call out
00:19:46.360 Prince Charles, Jeffrey Bezos, Justin Trudeau for hypocrisy, I'm not saying that I'm living a
00:19:52.780 lower carbon lifestyle. I don't believe in that. But every leftist activist, every journalist
00:19:57.940 activist there, they're, they're in on it too, because they all flew in and, and they're all using,
00:20:04.120 you know, petrochemicals like plastics. I think it's just probably the largest walking
00:20:09.740 example of hypocrisy ever known to man.
00:20:14.680 I completely agree. And the question that I've been asking people on the streets is,
00:20:19.800 couldn't this have been done over Zoom for over two weeks? I mean, you care so much about the carbon
00:20:24.480 footprint and CO2 emissions. I mean, it could have saved quite a lot if you cared about it that much
00:20:30.500 for these world leaders just to stay at home, like we've been doing for two years. Why couldn't
00:20:34.860 they have done that? But it seems to me like their, their idea of these world leaders coming together
00:20:42.280 and speaking about it is some sort of tremendous act of goodwill, which I don't see personally,
00:20:47.480 I just see it as, you know, you, you practice what you preach. And, and that's what I've been saying,
00:20:53.160 but these elites can't seem to be do doing that. So, yeah.
00:20:57.780 Well, you've sent a couple of clips and I haven't seen these yet. So I'd just like to play a clip
00:21:03.440 that you recorded there in Glasgow on the ground for the UN Global Warming Summit. Let's take a look.
00:21:10.840 So could you tell us a little bit about this poster and what it represents and why, why, what it is?
00:21:18.460 It's, it's just sort of criticising Boris Johnson, really, because this is sort of what he thinks of himself,
00:21:24.720 you know, see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. Right. But like, really, we'd be lucky if he did anything at all.
00:21:30.780 Okay.
00:21:31.700 He's been criticising a lot of countries for having high CO2 emissions, but we've not really been doing anything ourselves.
00:21:38.220 Right, okay.
00:21:38.980 So it's just sort of...
00:21:39.760 Do you know which countries he's been criticising?
00:21:41.600 Yeah, he's been having a go at China, but China basically produces everything. We've actually, we imported a lot of our stuff from China,
00:21:49.380 getting it from China. So it does make sense.
00:21:51.880 Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:21:52.660 So China, I believe, is 30% CO2 emissions of the entire world. So do you think that that would be okay to sort of criticise
00:22:02.080 because they're the biggest contributors?
00:22:03.340 Well, it's sort of like making fun of someone for falling into a ditch when you're like halfway sunk in sand, really.
00:22:12.560 Right, okay.
00:22:13.380 Like, we're both terrible and there's not really any excusing it, so...
00:22:16.800 So, because I believe the UK is 1.1% CO2 emitters, so compared to 30%, and you've got obviously Russia as well,
00:22:28.300 that are about fourth, India as well, who are rejecting the net zero policy as well.
00:22:35.720 I mean, what do you think of those guys not turning up as well?
00:22:38.860 I mean, it's not really ideal, but you would expect Russia to be fourth because it's, you know, massive.
00:22:46.200 They can do better. We can all do better. So there's really no point in having a go at other people when we've all got to improve.
00:22:53.080 Okay. Okay, fair enough. Thank you very much. Cheers.
00:22:56.800 Hey, Lewis, how long are you there for in Glasgow? How many days are you going to be there on the ground?
00:23:04.860 So, I arrived here very early morning of the 31st of October, so Halloween, and I'll be here until the 3rd of November,
00:23:13.820 just covering what people are saying.
00:23:16.220 Well, I think that will give you a chance to really cover a lot of the delegates from around the world.
00:23:20.840 Are there other counter-protests?
00:23:23.660 I mean, there are people like Greta Thunberg who are trying to egg things on even harder.
00:23:29.760 But are there people there who are saying, whoa, you're going to push us into energy poverty.
00:23:35.760 The U.K. has high enough oil and gas prices as it is.
00:23:40.560 And, you know, China and India are developing their coal-fired power plants as fast as they can.
00:23:50.120 China is the world's largest emitter by far, and their president isn't even showing up.
00:23:54.860 He thinks it's a joke.
00:23:55.980 Is there anyone making these arguments, even if they're just counter-protesters on the streets?
00:24:01.680 It's funny you say that.
00:24:04.720 I interviewed a girl holding up a banner of Boris Johnson, and she said that we shouldn't be bullying other countries such as China.
00:24:12.700 Meanwhile, there was a bunch of demonstrators who want to end the CCP and to have a conversation about it.
00:24:22.200 So it was interesting to see the dynamic of the two.
00:24:24.920 And on top of that, most demonstrators have been from countries such as Bangladesh, Sri Lanka.
00:24:31.500 America, we've interviewed people from Uganda as well to protest their world leaders and how corrupt they are
00:24:40.020 and how hypocritical they are to fly all the way over here and not address their own citizens first.
00:24:46.840 Now, how is it in Scotland generally?
00:24:49.160 I know Wales is very strict on lockdownism, but I think the U.K. in general is less strict than Canada
00:24:56.940 or certainly certain parts of Australia like the state of Victoria.
00:25:01.500 Is life sort of normal on the streets of Glasgow?
00:25:07.560 I mean, it's one thing.
00:25:08.700 I think that a lot of the climate activists are looking at the public health activists and saying,
00:25:14.060 Wow, you guys shut down the economy.
00:25:17.520 You guys controlled where people can go, when they can go, who they can meet, when they can travel.
00:25:22.660 You guys showed us the way.
00:25:24.960 We got to learn from you.
00:25:26.140 I mean, I think the pandemic is the template, the blueprint for the climate activists.
00:25:31.500 What do you think?
00:25:33.520 Well, it's funny you say that, actually.
00:25:36.060 All I've been seeing is a lot of people are wearing masks in the street, which, you know,
00:25:42.060 is becoming quite the normal thing up here in Glasgow.
00:25:46.100 I mean, a lot of people are still hesitant on taking their mask off, even when outside.
00:25:50.960 So, that's the main thing I've been seeing in terms of COVID-related issues.
00:25:57.960 But, yeah, I think that's the main thing.
00:26:01.660 I haven't really spoken to many people regarding COVID at all.
00:26:05.480 But from what I've seen, the mask still seems to be the problem here.
00:26:09.960 I think people are still a little bit worried because the tyranny is ramping up in Scotland.
00:26:15.140 I mean, they've introduced vaccine passports as well for certain events.
00:26:19.740 Funny that the elites here at the event won't be – they're excluded from that.
00:26:24.360 But a lot of the plebs aren't.
00:26:26.820 And there is also test centres outside of the event here where you have to prove a negative test before you actually enter.
00:26:34.300 So, we are seeing a ramp-up of tyranny.
00:26:38.860 So, yeah, I think England is definitely less strict, but we're expecting Plan B to head on over this winter as well.
00:26:49.520 Well, Lewis, we're glad you're over there.
00:26:52.120 And we're starting to get your videos arriving over here now.
00:26:55.780 Thank you for working around the clock.
00:26:57.860 It really is an exciting time to cover the global warming movement because they've been pent up for two years.
00:27:06.020 They're there to party.
00:27:07.380 They're there to boss people around.
00:27:09.480 They've all had all sorts of the worst encouragement.
00:27:12.360 So, I'm glad you're there to tell the other side of the story.
00:27:15.320 And I want to say to folks, you can find all of Lewis's report at rebelun.com, rebelun.com.
00:27:24.040 And if you want to chip in, as you heard, Lewis is flying economy class on EasyJet, which is one of those discount airlines.
00:27:30.800 He's staying in an Airbnb, and I know he's travelling economically compared to the luxury class there.
00:27:37.480 So, if you want to help out, you can do that at rebelun.com also.
00:27:40.700 Lewis, thanks for flying the flag there.
00:27:42.140 It's great to see you.
00:27:43.700 Thank you so much.
00:27:44.780 And thanks very much for the opportunity and the Rebel viewers as well for showing their support.
00:27:49.460 Thank you so much.
00:27:50.500 Well, you're very welcome, and you're doing a great job.
00:27:53.140 We'll keep in touch in the days ahead.
00:27:54.680 There you have it, folks.
00:27:55.620 Lewis Barakpool for Rebel News.
00:27:58.400 Stay with us.
00:27:58.920 More ahead.
00:28:12.100 Hey, welcome back.
00:28:13.020 Someone with the nickname Razor says,
00:28:15.360 If a joke is funny, it doesn't matter if the content is offensive or not.
00:28:20.800 The only goal in stand-up is to make your audience laugh.
00:28:23.960 And if he's succeeded, that's all that should matter.
00:28:26.640 Black comedy tends to be really funny because most people are afraid to take jabs at sensitive topics.
00:28:34.100 I mean, it's like love.
00:28:37.240 You can't turn it off if it's wrong.
00:28:40.380 I mean, I suppose you can control yourself.
00:28:42.080 My point is laughing.
00:28:44.640 If you find something funny, you can stifle a laugh.
00:28:47.900 But if you think it's funny, you think it's funny.
00:28:50.440 The heart wants what it wants.
00:28:54.660 As I wrote my script for that show, we're talking about Mike Ward and that youngster with that terrible disease.
00:29:00.940 I felt tremendous sympathy for what the young man goes through and that he was attacked by Mike Ward when he was just a kid.
00:29:08.480 He had done nothing wrong.
00:29:10.020 He could do nothing wrong.
00:29:11.240 He was a child of tender years.
00:29:13.080 So I felt sympathetic for him for sure.
00:29:15.460 But imagine living in a country where nine judges get to decide what is funny or not.
00:29:23.620 I actually don't think the jokes were that funny.
00:29:26.740 I actually don't think they were that vicious.
00:29:28.900 There was one comment that was over the top.
00:29:32.800 But welcome to comedy.
00:29:34.380 I don't know.
00:29:34.780 I'm just embarrassed that four out of nine judges wanted to make it illegal to tell bad jokes.
00:29:43.420 That's what scares me a lot more than a comedian.
00:29:47.080 Someone with the nickname Gutter King says,
00:29:48.840 Good job, Mr. Rubin and Mr. LeVant, Canadians and Americans alike, need to stand together on common ground.
00:29:54.160 Thank you to both of you for bringing us all the real stories and real facts.
00:29:58.460 Respect to the both of you and your teams.
00:30:00.960 Well, I'm excited that Locals has connected with Rumble.
00:30:06.580 These are just alternatives to Twitter and Facebook and YouTube and Patreon.
00:30:11.380 Hopefully they won't be blackballed in the same way as other apps like Parler and Gab have been.
00:30:21.360 Someone with the nickname One's Compliment says,
00:30:24.420 This is what the right needs more of, the development of a counter-economy.
00:30:29.100 Look, I'm of two minds.
00:30:30.420 First of all, we do need a place where we can still operate.
00:30:33.980 YouTube is getting stricter and stricter.
00:30:36.580 We were kicked off PayPal.
00:30:38.180 But in the same token, I don't want to be in a conservative ghetto just hanging out with like-minded people.
00:30:44.740 I want to be in the public square at large.
00:30:47.560 I want to reach out to people who've never heard from us before.
00:30:50.400 I want to try and persuade others to join our way of thinking.
00:30:53.220 Especially during the pandemic.
00:30:54.940 We are finding common cause with people who, two years ago, I'd never imagined have anything in common.
00:31:00.800 Robert F. Kennedy Jr. being a perfect example of that.
00:31:03.960 Union members who are feeling betrayed by their pro-vaccine union leadership.
00:31:08.220 There's so many things that feel realigned.
00:31:11.160 I want to be in the larger public square.
00:31:13.500 I don't want to be in some tiny little conservative playpen.
00:31:17.820 Those are my thoughts.
00:31:19.500 That's our show for today.
00:31:20.660 But let me leave you with a video that our friend David Menzies did about a haunted house that was donated money to the Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto.
00:31:28.560 But then they got offside with a bureaucratic red tape.
00:31:33.520 It's just incredible.
00:31:34.640 Take a look at this story.
00:31:36.180 Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night.
00:31:40.700 Keep fighting for freedom.
00:31:42.540 Every year, I love to put together this Halloween haunt and corn maze for all the neighbors and everybody else.
00:31:49.520 And we like to donate to charities each and every year.
00:31:52.620 They have decided to send them home because they're unvaxxed.
00:31:56.800 So they are discriminating against the unvaxxed for really, to me, I believe that there is no reason for that.
00:32:04.360 They're already in Sick Kids going through so much and now they have to have this added stress.
00:32:08.880 And with children, if you ask me, David, it's that these poor children are going to think that they've done something wrong.
00:32:26.800 Well, you know, kids, Halloween will soon be upon us.
00:32:30.800 And you want to know what's really scary?
00:32:32.540 It is the house of Lisa Robinson.
00:32:35.360 Yes, the former candidate for the Conservative Party in Beaches, East York.
00:32:39.780 Just while you see her Halloween setup.
00:32:42.680 And whatever you do, kids, don't forget your 3D glasses.
00:32:47.540 Ooh, that's scary.
00:32:48.900 David Menzies for Rebel News here in Pickering, Ontario.
00:33:07.900 And folks, I am at the residence of Lisa Robinson.
00:33:11.220 You might remember that name.
00:33:13.060 She was the Conservative candidate in Beaches, East York until, unfortunately, her own party cancelled her in September.
00:33:23.960 We'll have a separate video on an update to that egregious story.
00:33:28.660 But from real life horror to pretend horror.
00:33:33.220 Lisa, this is an amazing thing you have done to your house here.
00:33:38.140 We just took a tour.
00:33:39.420 My cameraman, Lincoln, and I.
00:33:40.740 Anyway, it's disturbing and horrific and terrifying in bright daylight.
00:33:46.440 I can only imagine what it's like when darkness takes lease.
00:33:50.600 Lisa, what's the story behind this Halloween display?
00:33:55.140 Oh, I do this every single year, David.
00:33:58.080 Thank you so much for having me on again.
00:33:59.960 Every year, I love to put together this Halloween haunt and corn maze for all the neighbors and everybody else.
00:34:06.820 And we like to donate to charities each and every year.
00:34:09.860 And, you know, that is kind of the news peg this year.
00:34:14.680 Lisa, out in Spruce Grove, Alberta, there was a couple there that put on a haunted house to raise money and food for the food bank.
00:34:22.000 They last year, $800 and 1,800 pounds of food.
00:34:25.380 But the local Karens complained to the city and the city basically told them you either shut this down or you face a $100,000 fine.
00:34:34.560 And you were originally raising money for Sick Kids Hospital.
00:34:38.540 You got a call from Sick Kids.
00:34:40.700 You had raised over $2,000 last time we spoke.
00:34:43.340 And the call wasn't so much to thank you.
00:34:47.020 It was about something else.
00:34:48.660 Yeah, the call was actually to see what kind of mandates that I had in place for COVID.
00:34:53.180 For the little children running around outside in the open and where they're not touching anything.
00:35:01.200 But they still wanted to know what kind of COVID protocols I had in place.
00:35:05.260 You know, I subscribe to the saying, it's one thing to look a gift horse in the mouth.
00:35:10.240 It's another to kick its teeth.
00:35:11.680 And to me, this is more horrific than any vampire, werewolf, or zombie.
00:35:16.620 Lisa, you, out of the goodness of your heart, you have invested thousands of dollars of your own money.
00:35:22.240 You're raising thousands for Sick Kids.
00:35:24.800 And it's, yeah, we're more concerned with masking, social distancing, vax passports, what have you.
00:35:32.360 I mean, this, I think that's outrageous.
00:35:34.860 I really think it was outrageous too, David.
00:35:36.860 And, you know, I really, really struggled with my conscience to see if I wanted to continue raising funds for Sick Kids.
00:35:45.360 And the reason why I say that is because we know that the Ontario government has put policies in place for people who are unvaxed.
00:35:54.700 That when they're at the hospital, you know, either you're vaccinated or if you're unvaxed,
00:36:00.660 then, you know, you can go ahead and do the testing for COVID-19 to make sure that you are okay.
00:36:06.860 But unfortunately, it's very, very disturbing to me that Sick Kids Hospital has decided to put the children aside, their needs aside.
00:36:18.220 And what they have done is the doctors that serve those children, the nurses, all the support staff,
00:36:24.900 they have decided to send them home because they're unvaxed.
00:36:29.320 So they are discriminating against the unvaxed for really, to me, I believe that there is no reason for that because in my own humble opinion,
00:36:38.640 I don't think there's any difference between the vaxed and the unvaxed at this time,
00:36:43.300 only because the vaccinated can also get and they can transmit COVID.
00:36:48.200 And yet they don't have to do testing.
00:36:52.320 So potentially vaccinated people can be going into the hospital in front of the sick children and, you know, passing it on to them.
00:36:59.760 Whereas, you know, it it's really, really disturbing that these poor children, I mean,
00:37:05.140 they're already in sick kids going through so much and now they have to have this added stress.
00:37:09.200 And with children, if you ask me, David, it's that these poor children are going to think they are that they've done something wrong.
00:37:17.900 No.
00:37:18.580 Why has why is the doctor not coming back to see me?
00:37:21.580 What have I done wrong?
00:37:23.120 No, that is terrible.
00:37:24.260 Two things that you raise.
00:37:25.280 First of all, when sick kids and other hospitals have let go, health care workers, nurses, et cetera, because they're unvaccinated.
00:37:34.620 It's funny, this isn't it?
00:37:35.640 Just months ago, before there was vaccines or a vaccine passport, these were the frontline heroes.
00:37:42.140 And now they are the frontline zeros.
00:37:44.420 Get jab or lose your job.
00:37:46.580 And secondly, we know from the data and it's supposedly science driving all these decisions.
00:37:53.760 Children are virtually invulnerable.
00:37:55.680 The last time I checked, only three persons in Ontario under 20 had died from COVID-19.
00:38:01.280 And that is the most relevant stat, the death statistic, not those who catch it and recover.
00:38:07.060 And of those three, I understand they all had a complicating medical issue.
00:38:11.440 So the idea that somebody at SickKids is so sensitive about your COVID protocols, when this is an outdoor venue,
00:38:21.520 the lion's share of the people coming here, I assume our children, you know, the ones who withstand this virus the best.
00:38:29.480 How do you make sense of this?
00:38:31.200 You really can't make sense of it, David.
00:38:33.300 You honestly cannot make sense of it because it doesn't matter if you're vaccinated or unvaccinated.
00:38:38.660 You can still get and give, transmit COVID to people.
00:38:43.880 So I find it very, very disturbing that they are discriminating and that's exactly what they're doing.
00:38:49.200 And the children are the ones that are suffering.
00:38:50.880 Only the children are the ones that are suffering.
00:38:53.300 Now, Lisa, I understand that you are so upset the way you were treated by SickKids that you're still going to give the $2,000 or so dollars that you raised
00:39:00.800 because that's how you advertised it and you don't want to do bait and switch with people making donations.
00:39:06.540 But you have since decided that's it for SickKids.
00:39:09.400 You've moved on to a different charity, one that isn't hypersensitive about COVID protocols on an outdoor haunted house.
00:39:17.980 That is so true.
00:39:19.600 Yes, I enjoy.
00:39:21.140 I enjoyed raising the funds for SickKids and everybody has really appreciated it.
00:39:25.980 But what we have done is we've decided to give to other great organizations for children as well.
00:39:32.340 And one of them that we have decided upon this week now is to move to the Kids Helpline.
00:39:37.860 Now, this Kids Helpline, their phone number is 1-800-668-6868.
00:39:43.640 And what's great about these people is that any child can call and they can just, if they just want somebody to talk to, they can do that.
00:39:50.220 Or if they're having suicidal thoughts, you know, they need to call this number.
00:39:54.580 If they're having abuse at the home or in school or anywhere else, they can always reach out and have somebody there to speak to.
00:40:00.900 So I have called the line a couple of times myself and the wait times were a little bit long, which is very upsetting to me.
00:40:11.120 So I thought it would be a great organization to be able to give some funds to because I believe, actually, I don't really know what the statistics or I can't remember at this time.
00:40:19.520 But it's something like $100 can help, like, 300 children.
00:40:22.360 Wow.
00:40:23.060 So it's very widespread on how we can help with the money that we're going to give.
00:40:28.620 We can help a lot of children.
00:40:29.840 I'm happy to hear you found an appreciative charitable client to give the money to.
00:40:35.120 One last question, Lisa.
00:40:36.680 You strike me as a very lovely lady.
00:40:39.460 You've got charitable intentions in your heart.
00:40:41.780 You've run for public office.
00:40:43.380 What is the deal with this fascination of such horrific imagery, you know, that is associated with Halloween?
00:40:51.980 I know some people get into Halloween.
00:40:53.580 I think you really, really get into it.
00:40:56.220 What is the deal with this, you know, tipping your hat, if you will, to the dark side?
00:41:02.720 The dark side.
00:41:03.740 You know, you said horrific a couple of times now, David, and it is actually a lot of fun as well.
00:41:09.100 So many people, even three-year-olds, can come through here and actually laugh.
00:41:13.680 Some will cry.
00:41:14.880 But I would have to stem it back to my childhood, but not my younger childhood.
00:41:19.960 I was probably a teenager, and my mom had created this thing called Harold.
00:41:26.380 And Harold was just this stuffed man, probably about your size.
00:41:29.940 He had no face, but he had, like, the spookiest mask I've ever seen.
00:41:33.820 And, like, you know, the big work gloves, the blue jeans, the tears in there, everything else.
00:41:37.860 And there was one time in particular I was late with my girlfriends, and it was, like, it was dark outside.
00:41:44.040 And, like, you know, the streetlights came on, you had to get home.
00:41:46.400 So I remember I ran down the street, whipped open the door, and there was Harold perched inside of my home like this.
00:41:54.980 I saw him.
00:41:56.280 I screamed.
00:41:57.100 And I basically went through the double glass closet doors that we had in our front entrance way.
00:42:03.800 It was funny.
00:42:04.480 My parents sat there laughing their heads off before they figured, like, once they knew I was okay, of course.
00:42:10.600 And then it was funny because after that, Harold just kept on making appearances, whether it be in August.
00:42:16.000 He would end up in the toilet if I got up in the middle of the night, scare the bejeebers out of me again.
00:42:20.880 But it all stems from Harold.
00:42:22.680 And I just fell in love with Halloween at that point.
00:42:24.740 Wow.
00:42:25.080 Well, you know what, I'm so happy, Lisa, you've transferred your love of Halloween into raising money for good charities.
00:42:31.640 And as far as those charities that have questions about COVID safety, as far as the COVID Karens out west shutting down a similar facility as Lisa's,
00:42:43.700 well, I guess welcome to Canada in 2021 with the pandemic where no good deed goes unpunished.
00:42:51.920 For Rebel News, I'm David the Menzoid Menzies.
00:42:54.860 Folks, can you imagine what's happened to our once great Dominion?
