Rebel News Podcast - How the Media Party is manipulating the election campaign — while being manipulated by Justin Trudeau

00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. Today, I take a second look at David Cochran, the CBC government journalist

00:00:04.460 who not only was defending Justin Trudeau and his decision not to take any questions from the media,

00:00:10.660 but actually took a gift of poutine from Trudeau and thanked him on camera. I show you the video

00:00:17.060 from a few angles. I think you're going to get a kick out of this. And my podcast friends,

00:00:21.180 I wish you could see this because you got to see the smile on his face. You got to see this happy

00:00:25.800 puppy pleasing his master. Oh, you got to see the video version of it, which you can see as a

00:00:43.400 unbelievable. You also get access to Sheila Gunn-Reed's show and David Menzi's show. So I hope

00:00:47.380 you do it. Okay. Here's the podcast. Tonight, a bizarre case study of the

00:00:55.660 media party manipulating the election campaign. It's September 17th, and this is the Ezra LeVant

00:01:01.360 show. Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:07.620 There's 8,500 customers here and you won't give them an answer. The only thing I have to say to the

00:01:13.180 government about why I'm publishing it is because it's my bloody right to do so.

00:01:17.540 Yesterday, I told you about this guy, David Cochran. He's a government journalist working at Trudeau's

00:01:29.160 CBC state broadcaster. You know the type. Like Rosemary Barton. Just not even pretending to be a real 0.99

00:01:36.920 reporter. A government reporter. Cochran had spent days on the liberal campaign bus, but not asking any

00:01:44.620 questions. I mean, that's liable to get a CBC journalist in trouble. He literally asked no

00:01:51.380 questions at all for two days. Because no reporters on the liberal campaign bus were allowed to ask

00:02:00.100 questions for two days. What's the point of being on a liberal campaign bus if you're not allowed to

00:02:06.660 ask questions? Well, Cochran humiliated himself by defending Trudeau's silence. He said it was fine. He

00:02:14.120 said Trudeau was really busy. I mean, they were moving really fast. So that explained it. He was so

00:02:20.780 mocked for that comment that he actually deleted that tweet. I'm sorry I didn't manage to take a

00:02:26.120 screenshot of that one first. But you can see a trace of it in the reply to him by Norman Spector, who

00:02:32.400 repeated the phrase, they are focusing on rapid movement through writings on Saturday and Sunday.

00:02:36.960 That was Cochran's explanation. So to recap, you've got this utterly submissive

00:02:44.120 liberal government journalist at Trudeau's CBC state broadcaster. He's not just passively doing

00:02:50.540 pro-Trudeau stories. He's actually defending Trudeau's media conduct, as in Trudeau not taking

00:02:56.780 questions for days. He's defending that to other journalists. So he's actually indistinguishable from

00:03:03.340 the liberal press secretaries. He's making excuses for Trudeau. He's being passive aggressive to anyone

00:03:08.920 who is appalled by his submissiveness. It's really bad. And then this video clip surfaces of him

00:03:15.380 just utterly, utterly allowing himself to be treated like a good little puppy, a good boy, being rewarded

00:03:23.200 by his master. Take a look at this clip. This was on Twitter yesterday. David Cochran is the bald fellow

00:03:29.040 being a good boy. Trudeau is the guy giving him free food and a pat on the head and saying,

00:03:35.760 liberals always take care of the CBC good boys.

00:03:39.860 Yes, that's for you, David. This is for you. No, no, no, no, no.

00:03:44.040 That's for me. Hey, the Liberal Party always supports the CBC.

00:03:47.480 Now that video went viral on Twitter. It was so incredible. And then poof, it just disappeared.

00:04:00.720 Just like that Cochran tweet that has said, hey, you guys, stop being mean to Trudeau. He's been

00:04:05.820 rushing around. So he literally hasn't had time to answer a single question. Did you guys stop being

00:04:10.940 mean to Justin? That tweet just disappeared. And so did the Twitter video I just showed you.

00:04:18.160 Just deleted from Twitter. What happened? Well, in this case, it wasn't the CBC that nuked it,

00:04:24.860 that we know of. Global News apparently did. They're the ones who recorded it. You could see

00:04:31.100 the little logo on the bottom. Now, why would they delete that from Twitter? Don't they like

00:04:36.220 their work going viral? It had their logo on it. Isn't that great for them? I mean,

00:04:41.020 they weren't making any money off it, of course, but you don't tend to on Twitter. Everybody uploads

00:04:48.020 content and shares it for free. Why would Global take that down? Gee whiz, why would Global take

00:04:54.360 down their video that embarrassed Trudeau and the CBC that showed the cozy relationship between

00:05:00.100 the Liberals and the media? Why would Global take that down? I wonder why. Of course, Global happens to be

00:05:06.340 the same hard-hitting investigative team that asked Trudeau the shampoo question.

00:05:13.020 The one that the entire country wants to know. What shampoo do you use?

00:05:19.020 What a disappointing answer this is going to be. Whatever happens to be hanging around at the time.

00:05:25.060 Tom Clark's another good boy. Now, eventually, Global did upload a version of the clip again,

00:05:34.700 but it's strange. They uploaded one from a different angle, one that obscures the interaction a bit,

00:05:40.580 made it a little bit less obsequious, hid David Cochran a little bit. And of course,

00:05:45.780 the thousands of people who had retweeted the earlier video, that was all nullified. You go to any

00:05:51.100 of those retweets, it's just blank. So just a handful of people even saw the new version, this one.

00:05:58.620 That was still an excruciating interaction, but why did Global delete their first one? Why would

00:06:23.260 they do that? Why were they embarrassed by it? They published it. Well, let's play a longer clip

00:06:29.520 from Global of the interaction. I think this is the worst one of all.

00:06:33.740 Look at that, eh? The pure joy on the face of David Cochran, the good boy.

00:07:03.720 Hey, good boy. He felt loved like any good boy would feel loved because the sun prince was

00:07:10.080 shining down upon him that day. He was loved by his master, Justin Trudeau, not just with a smile

00:07:16.720 and a compliment, but Trudeau gave him something. It was a small token, but even the smallest token

00:07:23.000 from a royal prince must be cherished forever. Do you doubt that this little trinket is tucked away

00:07:30.900 in Rosemary Barton's hope chest hidden under her bed? Do you doubt that Paul Wells and Althea Raj

00:07:38.760 take this picture of them? Take it out from time to time and look at it and smile to themselves

00:07:44.840 when they're feeling down. Maybe run a bubble bath for themselves, a glass of wine, get in there and just

00:07:50.340 look at it. Look at this picture a little bit. Relax, put on some music. For a moment there,

00:07:58.520 they were with the cool kid. They were loved by royalty. Just for a moment. I think David Cochran

00:08:05.240 had the best day of his life yesterday. And he didn't even realize he was being manipulated,

00:08:14.220 laughed at, mocked by Trudeau. It's that pickup artist move he has. Trudeau close hugs, touches,

00:08:21.860 mauls, pats, gropes, any woman he wants to psychologically dominate. He'll even put his hand

00:08:28.680 on the bum of the governor general. What? Because she didn't know which way to walk without it. 0.56

00:08:34.080 She needed Trudeau's hand on her ass. Here's 19-year-old Bianca Andreescu being touched repeatedly 1.00

00:08:41.600 by Trudeau, a man of almost 50 years. Oh my God. Oh my God. That chest-to-chest hug. Put that last one

00:08:51.240 back up there. If this was your 19-year-old daughter, and this was nearly the last one,

00:08:57.660 a 50-year-old man who had just, look at that. Look at that. What the hell is that?

00:09:08.940 Now Trudeau wasn't close enough to David Cochran to do that. A full front-to-front hug at the moment.

00:09:16.940 He does do close hugs with men too. I mean, I have to say, this is a close hug.

00:09:24.500 And the one with Emmanuel Macron, that's a very close hug. Who greets another man like that? I think

00:09:31.960 it's weird. But he didn't do it right then with Cochran. If you notice, Cochran's hands were full

00:09:36.840 and there was a table in between them they couldn't embrace. So he used his actions and his words.

00:09:43.860 Trudeau gave a gift to Cochran, who took it and immediately ate it. He actually put his cell phone

00:09:49.440 away so he could eat it and show Trudeau just how grateful he was for the free poutine. He didn't

00:09:56.120 say thank you and put it down as an inappropriate gift to be taken from a partisan person he's

00:10:01.440 covering. No, no, no. He put his cell phone over. He rearranged it. He took it and immediately ate it

00:10:07.440 to seal the deal. I'm a good boy. I'm a good boy. I mean, why not? What's the difference

00:10:16.260 between taking 1.5 billion tax dollars for the CBC or taking a $5 poutine? They're both little

00:10:24.640 bribes. They're both trinkets from the prince. Cochran was just so lustily into it like a virgin 0.73

00:10:34.300 bride on his wedding night. But you know how Trudeau works. If he's dominant, he doesn't

00:10:43.460 like to be subtle about it. He rubs it in a bit. Like when those aboriginal protesters from 1.00

00:10:50.720 Grassy Narrows crashed his fundraiser. Remember that? It wasn't enough for Trudeau to dominate

00:10:54.800 and have them taken out physically handled. He had to rub it in. Thanks for your donation.

00:11:01.120 Thanks for your donation. Remember that?

00:11:03.960 You and Rossi Narrows are suffering from Mercury poisoning.

00:11:07.620 Thank you. Thank you for being here. Thank you very much for your donation tonight. I really

00:11:14.080 appreciate the donation to the Liberal Party of Canada.

00:11:17.440 Yeah. He kept saying it. He got the crowd cheering with him, jeering. Those stupid aboriginals 1.00

00:11:25.320 from Grassy Narrows. Thanks for your donation, guys. Get out now. Or even when Trudeau was 1.00

00:11:33.180 explaining, remember this years ago? Remember he explained why in that boxing match almost

00:11:39.240 a decade ago with his aboriginal opponent, why he wanted to cut off the ponytail of him.

00:11:44.720 He wanted to rub it in, remember, to humiliate him. And he wanted everyone to be crystal clear

00:11:52.040 why he was doing it. Remember this?

00:11:54.540 We're both known for our long hair on the hill. Let's say the loser gets a haircut. He resisted

00:12:00.680 back a little bit, you know, pointing out that hair has a cultural significance for First Nations

00:12:05.420 peoples. And I said, I know. That's why I proposed it. When a warrior cuts his hair, it's a sign

00:12:10.320 of shame. So it's very apropos.

00:12:14.720 Yeah. That's what Trudeau did here. He wanted everyone to know who was the master and who

00:12:22.040 was the servant.

00:12:23.040 Yeah. Trudeau was saying, you're smiling, David Cochran. And I'm pretending to be friends with you.

00:12:30.040 But they're not friends. To Trudeau, Cochran's just a useful little pawn for the moment.

00:12:37.360 And Trudeau had to make sure that Cochran knew it. That Cochran was enjoying it. And I'm just

00:12:44.680 going to say, you're smiling, David Cochran. And I'm pretending to be friends with you, but

00:12:53.320 they're not friends. To Trudeau, Cochran's just a useful little pawn for the moment.

00:12:59.400 And Trudeau had to make sure that Cochran knew it. That Cochran was enjoying Trudeau's

00:13:08.000 beneficence. He's the giver. Cochran was just taking little gifts from Trudeau without any

00:13:13.620 shame. Look how happily he took it. Cochran just spent days defending how Trudeau was hiding

00:13:19.780 from journalistic questions. He utterly debased himself. He was literally defending Trudeau to

00:13:25.780 either journalists. And now he just took a little gift from Trudeau on camera. And he

00:13:30.560 immediately took a bite of it. Good boy on camera just to show his submission because he's

00:13:35.660 a good boy. But it's not enough Trudeau wanted to rub it in, point out how those liberals pay

00:13:43.320 off those CBC types. Thank you for your donation. That's how Trudeau works. Psychological manipulation.

00:13:50.100 It's why when people finally, finally fall out of love with him, oh, they fall hard. I mentioned

00:13:57.320 Paul Wells before. That photo of him and Althea Raj was when they were both deeply in love with

00:14:04.640 Trudeau. Althea Raj still is. That's why she's on the debate moderator panel. But Paul Wells ain't.

00:14:10.420 Yeah. Paul Wells has fallen out of love. He wrote this cover story, The Imposter.

00:14:14.640 It was really about Paul Wells and how he felt he was fooled. He was tricked by Trudeau. It stings,

00:14:22.500 doesn't it? David Cochran is still in love. Trudeau is psychologically manipulating him,

00:14:30.760 dominating him, lording it over him, rubbing it in. And Cochran doesn't even realize it.

00:14:37.760 Unlike Paul Wells, I don't think Cochran will actually fall out of love or at least admit it

00:14:41.200 because his job is 100% paid for by Trudeau. Unlike Paul Wells, whose job is only partly

00:14:46.520 paid for by Trudeau, Cochran is bought. Paul Wells was only rented. That's how Trudeau operates. I

00:14:55.740 wonder what the ordinary Canadian thinks of Trudeau, but also of Cochran and also of Global News trying

00:15:01.380 so, so, so hard to hide this whole thing from Canadian voters. Stay with us for more.

00:15:11.200 Welcome back. Well, I have to say, I think that the media is as much a story in this campaign

00:15:28.180 as the party candidates themselves. If you've had a chance to visit our website,

00:15:32.720 campaign2019.com, you'll see that we here at the Rebel think that taking on

00:15:38.360 the media establishment, especially the CBC state broadcaster, is just as important as

00:15:44.740 the partisan battle that Andrew Scheer or Maxime Bernier are waging against Justin Trudeau and

00:15:51.300 the Liberals. Joining me now is an interesting columnist. She works for one of the largest

00:15:56.520 media companies in Canada, Post Media, but she is very much one of us. And by that, I mean

00:16:02.060 an independent thinker, a dissident against the politically correct establishment, and

00:16:06.700 boy, does she get the lefties mad. That's all I need to know, to know that Sue Ann Levy 0.99

00:16:11.940 is my friend. It's great to see you. Thanks for coming into the studio today. Great to see

00:16:16.060 you. Great to see you. Well, tell me what you think of the election so far. In some ways,

00:16:21.220 all the parties got off to a stumbling start. I mean, Trudeau's campaign bus bumped into his

00:16:26.640 campaign plane. There were more revelations about SNC-Lavalin and the RCMP. I think everyone

00:16:33.960 sort of stumbled out of the gate, but it's been about a week now. How is it looking to

00:16:38.600 you, the candidates, and the media? Well, I think, first of all, I'll say the real

00:16:43.400 surprise in all of this is how thoughtful Andrew Scheer has been. And I've been a very harsh

00:16:47.580 critic of Andrew Scheer, that I didn't think he has been tough enough on the issues that consume

00:16:53.500 or concern Canadians, like illegal immigration, the economy, things like that. He's talked about

00:17:00.420 it, but he's not been forceful enough. Let's put it that way. But I've been listening to him over the

00:17:06.240 last week, and I think he's very thoughtful. He is not particularly passionate, but he's thoughtful.

00:17:14.760 And he's just a decent, kind man. And he comes across that way. And so he's been a pleasant surprise.

00:17:26.280 Can I interrupt you? And I'm sorry to do so. I mean, I wouldn't think that's the surprise,

00:17:32.420 because he's always been nice and kind in his style. But is what he's saying powerful enough

00:17:38.680 to get people's attention? Well, the problem is, as you said, the mainstream media is hell-bent

00:17:45.180 and determined to paint him as some sort of devil, complete with horns. So I don't think that he is

00:17:53.900 getting the coverage that he deserves. And, you know, if there was ever evidence, Ezra, of a media

00:18:02.040 double standard, boy, and I've been the subject of it many times, it is in this campaign. And I see

00:18:08.900 it already right out of the gate. Well, let me ask you one more question about Andrew Scheer,

00:18:12.860 because it's interesting to me, because I know you love talking about those issues that the rest

00:18:16.500 of the establishment doesn't. You talk about open borders immigration. You broke a lot of news about

00:18:21.920 these urban refugee camps in Toronto stashed away in the hotels. So, look, I don't think there's any

00:18:30.240 dispute that Andrew Scheer comes across as a nice guy. And I just, I want to know if he's been at

00:18:37.040 all inspiring or if his message is sharp enough. Because Mitt Romney was a nice guy. Yes. But that's

00:18:42.900 one of the reasons he got his clock clean. Yes. Well, listen, I, you know, I think he's thoughtful

00:18:48.260 and maybe nice is, you know, that is what he presented as when he ran as leader. But he is not

00:18:58.020 getting his message across as strongly as he could, because he needs to be more insistent,

00:19:04.020 more forceful. Look at what's happening close to the south of the border with Trump. You love him

00:19:09.120 or hate him. The media, you know, covers him. And I think he's very sharp in terms of portraying the

00:19:17.180 Democratic Party and the kinks in the Democratic Party, particularly those very anti-Semitic Congresswomen. 0.87

00:19:22.940 And he does it in a very sharp way. Andrew Scheer is almost too nice. And that's the problem.

00:19:31.020 Well, you know, I like your analogy. Trump really locked on to the squad. Yeah. And Ilhan Omar and

00:19:37.020 others to show how radical they are. Justin Trudeau has that same problem that the Democrats have.

00:19:41.800 There are some very anti-Semitic candidates. One has been dropped by the party, Hassan Ghiye.

00:19:46.460 But there's others that the liberals haven't dropped yet. Maybe I'm missing it. But so far,

00:19:53.000 it seems like the only opposition war room, opposition research war room, by that I mean

00:19:58.760 digging up embarrassing stuff on the other side. The liberals are going full tilt at it.

00:20:03.600 I don't see Scheer really zinging the liberals the way Trump zings the Democrats.

00:20:09.220 No. And you're absolutely right. So when I say nice, too nice. I think he's thoughtful.

00:20:14.880 What the surprise has been is that he's been, you know, I think he's very thoughtful on issues and

00:20:20.680 he knows his stuff. Problem is that their war room is not coming back with making people aware that

00:20:29.900 there are chinks in the armor of Justin Trudeau. And there is plenty, plenty of ammunition. My goodness, 0.97

00:20:38.180 where do we begin? Yeah. Well, I mean,

00:20:40.100 and you know, the voters are very forgetful. You know that they only remember what happened

00:20:45.860 three days ago. Let me give you something that you and I were just talking about before we turned

00:20:49.780 the camera on. This young teenage sports hero comes to Toronto victory celebration and Trudeau there

00:20:57.900 mugging for the cameras. You can't blame Trudeau for mugging for the cameras. And I suppose the prime

00:21:02.460 minister, even in a campaign, it, I wouldn't object to him being there and trying to get a hold of her

00:21:09.740 buzz. But he physically, like he's a 48 year old man, 47, 48 year old man. And he's touching and close.

00:21:18.700 Inner space. Yeah.

00:21:20.220 A 19 year old girl. And it just doesn't stop with the touchy, gropey, huggy, kissy, nose to like,

00:21:28.060 nose to nose this far away and hands on. I, I would never touch one of my kids friends, male or female,

00:21:36.220 because you never know what someone, like it's just, it's not even because. But he gets away with it.

00:21:39.980 Well, that's the thing. That's the thing that drives me crazy. I mean, it's, it's creepy, but it's

00:21:43.900 also for a normal person, it would be litigation or allegations. And he does it in plain sight. And

00:21:52.460 everyone around him says, Oh, um, I guess it's okay when you do it. And this is a 19 year old

00:21:59.980 girl who was clearly sort of squirming. Uncomfortable. And, and. Well, that's the media double

00:22:05.820 standard. So nobody. I mean, you mentioned that was Trump doing that. Holy moly. There would be an

00:22:11.100 inquiry, a hearing, whatever he'd be impeached, you know, calls to impeach him. That's the media

00:22:16.620 double standard that nobody points out in the mainstream media that that is inappropriate.

00:22:21.980 And he knows he can get away with it. Well, that's the crazy part. Let me ask you,

00:22:27.020 um, who, who's, who in the media has anyone? I mean, I love the Toronto Star. I think you're the

00:22:34.620 best paper in the country. You mean the sun, don't you? I apologize. I meant to say that.

00:22:39.500 I meant to say the star. I meant to say the Toronto sun. Of course, I meant that that's

00:22:45.260 where you're from. And it's the truth. Uh, geez, I don't know why I said the star. The star is really

00:22:49.500 the worst. Yeah. And, and they admit they're taking $115,000 a week from the federal government. So

00:22:56.620 I think they would be just as leftist, even if they weren't on the payroll, it comes naturally that

00:23:01.020 the sun is the toughest brawlingest newspaper in the country. And if I were to choose any newspaper in

00:23:07.740 the country to work for, that's culturally a fit for me. And I think a lot of our rebel viewers,

00:23:12.220 and I, I, it's replicated in other sun newspapers across country, Calgary Sun, great scrappy paper.

00:23:18.860 Other than the Toronto sun, is anyone called like, where are the feminists calling out Trudeau for the

00:23:23.740 gropiness? Where, where are the people who would follow up on SNC-Lavalin? There has been not a single

00:23:31.580 question put to Justin Trudeau in four days by any journalist about SNC-Lavalin and Jody Wilson-Raybould

00:23:37.900 saying the RCMP met with her. Not one question on this subject in four days. Last point, and I'm

00:23:44.780 throwing this all at you, but I'd like your response to all this. Where are the journalists? We saw one of

00:23:49.340 the liberals on the campaign bus, David Cochran is his name, actually defending Trudeau for

00:23:58.060 not asking questions, saying, oh, he's been really busy. And then look at this quick clip of the same

00:24:04.220 David Cochran smiling and taking a free poutine from Trudeau, laughing about it, accepting it, and

00:24:12.140 just going along with the Trudeau campaign pantomime instead of saying, thanks for the poutine boss,

00:24:17.020 but can you answer me a question about Jody Wilson-Raybould? Here, take a quick look at that clip.

00:24:28.060 He was joking. That was his comfort zone. He loved being one of the guys on the liberal campaign team,

00:24:55.500 that David Cochran. I'm not picking on him. They're all that way.

00:24:58.140 No, but that's the problem, Ezra. And as outsiders looking in, as we are, and I'm darn proud of it,

00:25:04.860 I must say, that is, you know, the fatal downfall of the media and the states, that they want to be

00:25:12.060 part of the A-team, and they perceive the A-team as being the Democrats, Hillary Clinton. They grossly,

00:25:19.260 grossly underestimated Donald Trump. Yeah.

00:25:22.540 And I think they're doing the same thing in Canada. And unfortunately, I'm watching the same

00:25:27.020 thing unfold, that they all want to be part of this so-called A-team. It's a lot easier. They're

00:25:33.180 lazy journalists, a lot easier to be part. You don't get any pushback. And you feel cool. 0.51

00:25:38.300 And you feel like you're just one of the guys. You know, that's the thing. You ask a tough

00:25:43.180 question of a politician, and their face changes immediately. And they put you down personally.

00:25:48.620 And I've had that happen many times. Well, I mean, it's a difficult thing to look a politician in

00:25:53.100 the eye this close and ask a question that you know pricks them. But that is one of the things

00:25:57.580 journalists have to do. Let me ask you about what I regard as the best news of the week. And I,

00:26:03.020 our viewers, I think, are split between Andrew Scheer, the conservative, and Maxime Bernier,

00:26:08.220 the ex-conservative PPC. I think, if I had to sum up our viewers, those who support Bernier say,

00:26:14.300 geez, I wish he wasn't a splittist. But he sure does elocute a lot of these issues, free speech, 1.00

00:26:20.380 political correctness, open borders immigration, taking on the theory of man-made global warming.

00:26:25.580 So they like his charm, his style, and his toughness on the issues. The Andrew Scheer supporters say,

00:26:30.940 look, Scheer may not be the most charismatic guy, but he's the only one who can beat Trudeau.

00:26:35.340 I'm halfway in between them. Can we morph the two together? Well, yeah. I think they should have

00:26:40.220 stayed together and being like a Batman and Robin kind of thing, or Robin and Batman. But I think

00:26:45.020 the best news of the week was that Maxime Bernier will now be in the official debates.

00:26:49.020 And I think that perhaps, or I hope, that it'll raise the issues that I've been bemoaning.

00:26:54.220 That's why I'm excited. About illegal immigrants, illegal migrants crossing the border. And God forbid, 0.99

00:27:00.300 you know, I have taken a lot of body blows for mentioning the word refugees and the impact that

00:27:04.780 they've had on big cities like Toronto and certainly out west as well. And Justin Trudeau's inability to

00:27:12.860 deal with the flow of migrants coming across the border. And I think that, you know, Andrew Scheer

00:27:20.140 seems almost afraid. Oh, he's not almost afraid. Paralyzed.

00:27:23.580 That was, you know, I should tell you, the last conversation I ever had with Andrew Scheer

00:27:27.420 was on our show. I asked him about immigration five times in a row. And he hated it and hated it.

00:27:33.740 He hated the fact that I had four supplemental questions. He never talked to me again.

00:27:38.540 And he, I know Andrew Scheer well enough to know that he's a conservative on these issues. But he

00:27:45.020 has made the choice that he'd never dare say that in public for fear of being devoured by the CBC.

00:27:50.300 That's why I like... But you're not playing to the CBC. And that's what he needs to learn.

00:27:55.980 He's never going to get support of the CBCers. Well, that's what's so weird is he's obeying them,

00:28:01.580 but he's not getting anything in return. They're not going easy on him. They'll never go easy on him.

00:28:05.660 They just love the fact he's surrendering in advance. Well, this is, this is the great,

00:28:10.060 you know, disconnect with Andrew Scheer that he doesn't understand. These are not his voters.

00:28:15.580 You've got to appeal, throw meat to the people that are going to vote for you. And the people who are in

00:28:20.220 the middle, who are swaying, and there are plenty of people in the middle who aren't sure. He's got to show

00:28:25.660 a tough face about these issues. And that is why Maxime Bernier being in the debates is wonderful

00:28:33.340 for the conservative cause because he will elevate these issues and maybe light a firecracker

00:28:38.860 under Andrew Scheer. My hope, and I've said this since the beginning when Bernier split away,

00:28:44.140 is that he would show that there, if you create this excitement around an issue, conservatives will

00:28:50.940 come there and maybe Scheer will say, oh, well, let me keep those voters from splitting away by

00:28:54.860 shoring up my own party. That's the ideal outcome. I mean, I don't like the splittism either, 0.81

00:28:59.420 but if Maxime Bernier will make Andrew Scheer get tougher, that's a win for everybody.

00:29:03.820 And I'm glad. Absolutely. Absolutely.

00:29:05.820 Well, listen, we're still in very early days in the campaign. We have yet to see the liberals truly

00:29:10.380 drop the gloves. And even worse, we have yet to see the 100 plus third party campaign groups,

00:29:18.140 environmental groups, the teachers unions, the government unions really deploy. I think it's

00:29:23.260 going to be brutal. Well, you know, just judging from the first week and just the childish little

00:29:29.260 petty nonsense that has come out of the Trudeau campaign about, you know, Scheer's connections with 0.78

00:29:36.060 so-called white supremacists. I mean, it's just, it's just the high school. It's really stupid.

00:29:41.740 Well, I mean, I think the CBC seems to be lapping it up. So, so far, mission accomplished. 1.00

00:29:47.260 Well, they're, they're, they're returning what they've got. They're, they're paying,

00:29:51.260 they're paying back what they, you know, the truth. Yeah. Well, Sue Ann, it's great to see you.

00:29:55.900 And you are, you and our buddy, Joe Warmington and Anthony Fury, outstanding columnists. They're

00:30:01.660 all at the Toronto Sun really. So you guys are the last bastion and I hope you stay strong. I know

00:30:07.420 there's a lot of pressure on you and on your bosses from the left to shut up and stop talking the way you

00:30:13.660 do. You're the last hope in what I would call the mainstream-ish media. I mean, the Sun is

00:30:19.020 pretty mainstream-ish. Yeah. Well, they've actually, now the latest thing is to go to the National Press

00:30:24.380 Council or engage in law for- Tattling. They're tattling. Yeah. Yeah.

00:30:27.740 Try and get you silenced. They can't convince you. They're just trying to tattle about you. Yeah.

00:30:31.340 Yeah. Well, keep up the fight and you've got friends here at The Rebel. Thank you very much.

00:30:34.700 All right. There you have it. Sue Ann Levy, just tough as nails. One of our favorite people. 1.00

00:30:39.740 I encourage you to follow her column in the Toronto Sun, along with our buddy,

00:30:43.500 Joe Warmington and others who fight for freedom over there. I'm so glad

00:30:48.140 that she's over there fighting. Stay with us. More ahead on The Rebel.

00:31:02.220 Hey, welcome back. On my monologue yesterday, Liz writes, McCaffrey didn't have to run from that CBC

00:31:08.380 reporter. Well, now, Liz, you could mean so many things by that. You could mean, well,

00:31:13.340 she just had to slowly walk, or you could mean she didn't have to leave at all. I'll take both

00:31:18.620 meanings of the word, but more to the point, I don't think that was a news story, except for the

00:31:24.220 fact that the CBC wanted it to be a news story. I wish they would run walk, shuffle, stumble, slouch,

00:31:30.460 whatever you want to call it, against Trudeau with all of his candidates' gaps. No luck there.

00:31:35.420 Paul writes, the media party was very biased in the past. Now they've taken it to the point where

00:31:41.100 they're destroying the last shred of credibility they had left. Well, you're right if you think that

00:31:46.780 the media now answers to its readers, its viewers, which is how it traditionally worked. People paid a

00:31:56.140 dollar for a newspaper. The money came from the people to buy the content, but no, no, no, no, no.

00:32:03.980 Now the audience is what's for sale. Facebook has told us, taught us that. YouTube, Google,

00:32:10.060 all the social media has taught us that you are what's for sale. And Justin Trudeau will subsidize

00:32:16.300 the media because he'll own them to get to the viewers so the remaining journalists in the legacy

00:32:24.300 media, they know who to answer to. They answer to Trudeau, not to their viewers. The viewers are what's

00:32:28.540 for sale. Tyson writes, you are on the right track. Your efforts are well placed. Go after the lying

00:32:36.300 media, get the truth out there. I teared up the day you announced your election strategy. This might be our

00:32:40.300 last chance. Wow, Tyson, I take that very seriously. And thank you for that. We're trying. We're out.

00:32:49.180 I mean, I just spoke to some of our reporters moments ago before I came in the studio here.

00:32:53.580 We're out there hunting. We're out there doing our best. And I hope in the next 34 days,

00:32:58.140 we'll live up to your expectations. Well, folks, that's our show for today. On behalf of all of us

00:33:03.660 here at Rebel World Headquarters, I want to tell you two things. First of all, we never take free poutine

00:33:08.540 from Justin Trudeau. And second of all, I want you to keep fighting for freedom while we still can.

00:33:13.100 Good night.
