Rebel News Podcast - Rebel Roundup： Guests Ezra Levant, Amanda Head, & Keean Bexte!

00:00:00.560 You're listening to a Rebel Media Podcast.

00:00:03.860 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you,

00:00:07.040 in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favourite rebels.

00:00:12.340 I'm your host, David Menzies.

00:00:14.500 Ezra Levant is just back from the UK where he was covering the latest Tommy Robinson trial,

00:00:20.140 a trial in which Ezra himself became part of the story.

00:00:24.180 And what a story.

00:00:25.200 As the dumpster fire known as Lav Scam continues to blaze,

00:00:30.720 Justin's loyal liberal minions are touring the Dominion,

00:00:33.860 trying to cause distractions to make us all forget about this scandal.

00:00:39.060 Is it working?

00:00:39.920 Well, our Calgary-based rebel, Kian Bextie, doesn't think so.

00:00:44.400 And it should go without saying that those who sexually prey on minors

00:00:48.520 should be locked up, shunned, and vilified.

00:00:51.480 And that's typically the case, but they do things kind of differently in Hollywood.

00:00:57.120 Apparently, perverts are tolerated in Tinseltown,

00:01:00.740 as long as they're making money for the studios.

00:01:04.120 Amanda Head shall explain all. 0.90

00:01:06.120 And finally, your letters.

00:01:07.960 We get your letters every minute of every day,

00:01:10.140 and I'll share some of your responses regarding our mission to Ottawa on Monday,

00:01:14.460 in which we delivered some very stern messages to the Trudeau Liberals

00:01:19.320 via our Jumbotron-equipped truck.

00:01:22.560 Oh, what a day that was.

00:01:24.840 Those are your rebels.

00:01:25.800 Now let's round them up.

00:01:34.700 There was a surprising development today,

00:01:38.720 and it was that I myself became part of the conversation in court.

00:01:43.980 Not on purpose, I can assure you.

00:01:45.880 But, of course, I came to Peterborough to live-tweet this.

00:01:49.020 That's why I'm here.

00:01:49.700 I believe in justice.

00:01:51.040 I believe in Tommy's suit.

00:01:53.540 I believe in Tommy's friend.

00:01:55.100 Viewers crowdfunded to have me here.

00:01:57.540 So I assume what I always do, tweet with my opinions.

00:02:00.480 I did it at the Old Bailey.

00:02:02.280 When Tommy had his hearings there,

00:02:04.340 I did it at the Royal Courts of Justice in front of no one less than the Supreme,

00:02:09.260 sorry, the Lord Chief Justice of Great Britain and of England and Wales himself.

00:02:15.560 So, I mean, I've live-tweeted many times from the UK,

00:02:18.760 and I thought I was doing the same thing here.

00:02:20.420 But the judge specifically asked me not to tweet commentary,

00:02:27.940 just to tweet exactly what was said.

00:02:32.020 I would use the word stenography.

00:02:34.460 She didn't use that word, but that's what I think journalism is without commentary.

00:02:38.720 It's just, okay, he said this, she said that.

00:02:40.520 And I'm doing a fair bit of that.

00:02:42.280 The judge was kind of adamant about it.

00:02:44.240 And I apologized.

00:02:45.620 I said, well, I'm sorry, I don't want to get off side with you, Your Honor.

00:02:48.840 It's your judge.

00:02:49.780 You're the judge.

00:02:50.740 It's your court.

00:02:51.580 Welcome to the increasingly Orwellian United Kingdom,

00:02:55.160 a realm in which there are so many severe restrictions

00:02:58.300 when it comes to press freedom and freedom of speech and freedom of expression

00:03:02.760 that it is almost hard to believe that this nation

00:03:05.940 was indeed the birthplace of the Magna Carta some eight centuries ago.

00:03:10.960 Indeed, forget about Speaker's Corner these days.

00:03:13.460 The authorities are lecturing both the populace and the press

00:03:17.120 on what they can and cannot say.

00:03:19.960 And what's worse is that too many Britons, it seems, 1.00

00:03:23.560 are surrendering their rights and freedoms without putting up much of a fuss.

00:03:28.460 How profoundly sad is that?

00:03:31.280 And with more on his trip across the pond to not-so-jolly-old England

00:03:35.380 to cover the latest Tommy Robinson trial

00:03:37.900 is our very own Rebel Commander Ezra Levant.

00:03:40.620 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, Ezra.

00:03:42.220 Thanks very much, David.

00:03:43.200 Ezra, you've done it again.

00:03:44.200 You went to cover a story and you became part of the story.

00:03:47.480 Well, you know what?

00:03:48.200 I have live tweeted from courts before.

00:03:51.540 I've been doing it even before Twitter was around.

00:03:55.820 I remember I covered a Human Rights Commission case with Mark Stein.

00:03:59.860 I'd say that's about 10 years ago now.

00:04:02.540 That was even before Twitter was a company.

00:04:04.800 So I've been doing this, going to courts

00:04:06.320 and writing contemporaneous reports for a decade.

00:04:09.400 Last year, I live tweeted from both the Royal Courts of Justice

00:04:14.680 and the Old Bailey in the UK.

00:04:16.980 So I've been doing this probably half a dozen times.

00:04:19.380 So this, okay, I'll just do it again.

00:04:20.720 So I went to this court in Peterborough.

00:04:23.280 They pronounce the little bit, they say Peterborough.

00:04:25.320 That's right.

00:04:25.940 And I just started doing what I do,

00:04:29.020 which is try and type as quickly as I can,

00:04:31.840 as accurately as I can what's going on,

00:04:34.420 because they don't allow cameras in the court.

00:04:36.920 And occasionally, if there's something that's just so absurd,

00:04:39.160 I'll note it and I'll mock it or point it out

00:04:42.800 or I'll, you know, get my opinion on it.

00:04:45.280 But my main job is just to type as fast as I can.

00:04:47.560 I should tell you that in the three days I was over there,

00:04:51.260 I'd have to check the exact stats,

00:04:52.840 but I had over 12 million views of my tweets.

00:04:55.720 Wow.

00:04:56.100 That's a lot of people following it.

00:04:58.100 But three times the judge stopped everything

00:05:02.980 and said, rain in your tweets.

00:05:05.880 In fact, the third time, it was almost like she had a hearing.

00:05:08.860 It wasn't a hearing, but there was no one else in the court.

00:05:11.040 It was the judge, me, the two lawyers, the usher and the clerk.

00:05:15.200 Now, it was not a hearing.

00:05:16.160 I was not being held in contempt.

00:05:19.880 But the judge said, Mr. Levant, you know,

00:05:22.300 you can't give your opinion.

00:05:24.440 Yeah.

00:05:24.700 And this is the key thing, Ezra.

00:05:26.000 It wasn't to rain in your tweets, your coverage,

00:05:28.320 based on anything erroneous,

00:05:31.100 based on intimidating a witness, nothing like that.

00:05:34.340 It was this fact that you can't apparently cover a UK trial

00:05:38.780 while it's happening by giving opinions,

00:05:41.720 whereas in North America,

00:05:43.540 we read about trial coverage all the time

00:05:45.720 where it's opinionated journalism 24-7.

00:05:48.340 Well, there were three things that happened.

00:05:49.320 First of all, we all watched the footage of the police.

00:05:54.440 Just to tell our viewers who don't know what we're talking about,

00:05:56.660 Tommy Robinson went to watch a soccer game,

00:05:59.200 they call it football over there, with his kids.

00:06:01.780 It was sort of like a kid's day.

00:06:02.920 He took the kids out to a festival or something.

00:06:05.220 Then they watched a match.

00:06:06.380 Then they went to a restaurant.

00:06:09.260 The kids were in and out, and they played outside.

00:06:11.960 And Tommy was inside.

00:06:13.320 So it was a family day for Tommy.

00:06:14.880 His kids were in and out.

00:06:16.300 That's the pub culture in the UK.

00:06:19.380 There's families in pubs.

00:06:20.240 It's not like a nightclub here in America.

00:06:23.740 But Tommy wasn't drinking.

00:06:25.020 He was drinking water only.

00:06:26.080 And he was there with his kids.

00:06:27.700 So obviously, he's very kids-y, kids-friendly.

00:06:31.220 And suddenly, at 6.30 p.m.,

00:06:33.120 when they're watching a match on TV,

00:06:35.780 a cop comes in and says to Tommy,

00:06:37.800 get out of the pub right now.

00:06:39.800 And Tommy says, why would I do wrong?

00:06:42.120 And the cop says, just get out.

00:06:44.780 And Tommy said, I'm with my family.

00:06:46.140 I'm not drinking.

00:06:47.080 I'm no problem.

00:06:47.900 What are you doing?

00:06:48.680 And the cop just says, don't argue with me,

00:06:51.160 or I'll arrest you.

00:06:51.900 Tommy complies, goes out.

00:06:55.340 And then they say, oh, that's not enough.

00:06:57.080 You've got to get out of the city now.

00:06:58.620 Yes.

00:06:59.120 So they frog march him down to the railway station.

00:07:02.240 And they follow him, videotaping him and his kids.

00:07:06.400 And his kids start to cry.

00:07:07.520 And it devolves.

00:07:08.480 So Tommy's suing the police for harassment.

00:07:11.200 So anyway, that's a background.

00:07:12.540 So the trial, Tommy was suing the cops.

00:07:14.260 So I see the cops.

00:07:15.260 And we watched this awful footage of them abusing Tommy's kids.

00:07:18.520 And I said, do you have any regrets?

00:07:20.620 I said, as a journalist.

00:07:22.060 And they ran into the court.

00:07:23.440 These cops, three big cops.

00:07:25.320 Either one, any one of them could break me like that.

00:07:27.380 Like, I'm not exactly the toughest guy around, David.

00:07:29.960 I admit it.

00:07:30.940 So I just, they ran into the court.

00:07:34.200 And they complained to the judge.

00:07:35.740 And the judge said, stop intimidating the police.

00:07:37.920 Based on a question like that.

00:07:39.100 Yeah.

00:07:39.320 I swear to God, the judge said, stop intimidating the police.

00:07:43.540 Unbelievable.

00:07:43.900 And then I tweeted a bit.

00:07:46.600 And the judge said, stop having an opinion.

00:07:48.880 I said, opinion journalism is a form of journalism.

00:07:52.820 And she said, you cannot express an opinion until after I issue my verdict.

00:07:57.760 I said, even, does this apply even when I'm not in the court?

00:08:01.560 She said, yes.

00:08:02.680 I said, does it apply even after the evidence is done?

00:08:05.960 Yes.

00:08:06.220 So I'm blown away by this.

00:08:10.600 But I made the decision.

00:08:11.800 I'm not going to fight it because I don't, first of all, I don't want to be held in contempt of court.

00:08:17.960 If I am going to fight that issue, I'll fight it on a time and manner of my choosing.

00:08:23.660 And finally, this isn't my rodeo.

00:08:25.480 This isn't my party.

00:08:26.700 It's Tommy's trial.

00:08:27.860 I don't need to sideline it or whatever.

00:08:30.860 I was there to report on Tommy's trial, not to create a trial of my own.

00:08:33.540 But I found it extremely depressing that that's the state of journalism in the U.K.

00:08:38.860 The judge was fine with it.

00:08:40.120 Both lawyers were fine with it, by the way.

00:08:42.240 Not just the cops' lawyers.

00:08:43.980 Tommy Robbins' lawyer was completely in sync with the judge on this.

00:08:47.640 And Ezra, and I'm-

00:08:49.380 The press seemed to be okay with this.

00:08:50.660 Oh, absolutely.

00:08:50.880 I was sitting next to a pretty good guy from the local paper named Freddy.

00:08:56.040 I said, Freddy, what do you make of this?

00:08:57.160 He said, what?

00:08:57.620 I said, Freddy, surely you have some opinions.

00:08:59.680 Oh, I just sort of write like a stenographer.

00:09:02.260 So I should have said, well, Freddy, you get probably better pay and better pension if you just become a court stenographer.

00:09:08.000 I'm not even mad at Freddy.

00:09:09.280 I'm just stunned that the whole place, oh, we just do what we're told around here, mate.

00:09:13.280 Did Freddy complain to the judge, too?

00:09:15.200 No, Freddy was nice.

00:09:17.080 He was my seatmate, and I'd give him.

00:09:18.620 He put up with me the whole time.

00:09:20.000 And I gently made fun of him the whole time.

00:09:21.620 He was a good- I'm joking, right?

00:09:22.760 His name was Freddy Lynn.

00:09:23.660 He was with the local paper and obviously a liberal.

00:09:25.920 But I think he did a pretty fair job.

00:09:28.160 And I would just sort of- I mean, the guy was sitting right next to me.

00:09:32.480 So I said, Freddy, is this how it goes?

00:09:34.120 That's how it goes in the U.K.

00:09:35.280 But actually, that's not quite true.

00:09:37.000 Because when Tommy Robinson himself is on trial, which has happened a fair bit lately,

00:09:40.540 the media don't rein in their opinions until the verdict is rendered.

00:09:43.200 They all rush to give their verdict.

00:09:45.740 When he's playing defense.

00:09:47.080 Yeah, when he's in jeopardy, when he's the bad guy.

00:09:49.280 So it's- I think, first of all, they don't believe in free speech over there much.

00:09:54.080 Or anymore, they used to.

00:09:55.580 And I think, second of all, they're blind to their own double standards.

00:10:00.600 There's not a media outlet in the U.K. that didn't have a very strong opinion on Tommy's case

00:10:04.700 while it was afoot.

00:10:05.840 And there was no judge saying, you stop blogging about Tommy.

00:10:12.240 You stop blogging about Tommy.

00:10:13.360 There's no judge doing that.

00:10:14.800 But the first time a blogger blogs about Tommy or tweets about Tommy sympathetically,

00:10:19.780 oh, boy, my West journalism license.

00:10:23.040 And the thing is, I'm not even kidding.

00:10:24.260 There was a moment where they cleared out the public members of the court

00:10:28.040 and said, only the press remains.

00:10:32.840 Okay.

00:10:33.800 And then they said-

00:10:34.840 Now, why is that?

00:10:35.860 Well, again, so do the press have special rights that ordinary citizens don't?

00:10:39.980 Yeah.

00:10:40.580 And then they said, okay, take out your journalism cards or licenses.

00:10:45.200 I don't think they use the word license.

00:10:47.780 And all the journalists, okay, here's my license.

00:10:50.080 I'm allowed to be here.

00:10:51.980 And they said to me, where's your license?

00:10:53.840 Oy, mate, you have a lot to say.

00:10:55.820 Where's your license, mate?

00:10:56.940 And I said, you know, I come from Canada.

00:10:59.400 We're not the freest place in the world, but you don't need a license to be a journalist in Canada.

00:11:04.140 Oh, I'll tell that to the judge.

00:11:06.400 So this usher goes to the judge and says-

00:11:09.140 And so the judge comes back in and talks to the various people and says,

00:11:14.100 I understand you don't have licenses in Canada.

00:11:18.780 I'll take your word for that or something like that.

00:11:20.460 It's what kind of a people is comfortable requiring journalists to have licenses?

00:11:27.780 I understand why you would want a doctor to have a license.

00:11:30.120 You don't want a quack doing surgery who doesn't know how to do. 1.00

00:11:32.840 I understand why you'd probably want some sort of licensing for accountants, pharmacists, lawyers.

00:11:38.100 Like there are some real professions out there.

00:11:39.740 I think nursing, you probably want some standards, even a vet, a veterinarian. 0.99

00:11:45.620 But journalism is just writing down.

00:11:48.320 Look at the word journalism.

00:11:49.400 What happened today?

00:11:50.240 Jour, journalism.

00:11:51.340 I'm journalizing.

00:11:52.040 I'm writing a journal.

00:11:52.860 I saw something.

00:11:53.720 I'm writing it down.

00:11:54.360 There's no special profession.

00:11:56.080 You just, journalism, a journalist is someone who does journalism.

00:11:59.560 In this day and age, Ezra, the term citizen journalist has come to fruition with social media.

00:12:04.460 And they hated that I was doing citizen journalism there and I wasn't bending the knee.

00:12:07.900 And by the way, going back to the trial, Ezra, what I found very profound, and God forbid I'm going to utter an opinion here.

00:12:15.900 Maybe I'll get into trouble in the UK.

00:12:17.800 But you mentioned that there was a PC Mason with the other city's police force.

00:12:24.500 That was the fans from the other city coming into the town to play football.

00:12:29.000 And this guy is a special constable that monitors the behavior of those football fans.

00:12:33.720 And he actually said when he was asked if Tommy Robinson was a risk, he said no, which goes completely against the testimony of the cops who arrested him and frog marched him to the train station, as you said.

00:12:47.120 How do you think that's going to play out?

00:12:48.980 How big of a factor is that?

00:12:51.100 Well, you here in Canada today, and we're talking a couple hours before your show goes live to the Internet.

00:12:56.520 Right now, literally as we speak, the judge in the UK is releasing her judgment.

00:13:03.360 So I don't actually know how it's going to go.

00:13:05.880 She probably will be talking for another hour.

00:13:08.880 So I don't have that information on me yet.

00:13:11.280 But it was very interesting to learn how they police football games.

00:13:15.160 That's what they call soccer over there. 0.68

00:13:16.660 And the teams are very loyal and very cohesive.

00:13:20.420 They're fan base.

00:13:21.580 So Tommy's from Luton, and Luton Town's football team, when it travels, Luton police travel with it because they know all the Luton fans and who might get drunk and who might cause trouble and who doesn't.

00:13:36.460 So away teams, when they're visiting, like the visiting team, they bring cops with them who are specialists on the football beat.

00:13:46.020 And the away team and the home team, a cop from each police force, police together, so they call them spotters.

00:13:56.620 And they have this special legal order.

00:14:01.120 It's called a Section 35.

00:14:02.660 You can hit someone with it and force them to leave if there's a risk that they might do something wrong.

00:14:08.060 That's what they threatened Tommy with in the pub that day.

00:14:10.900 But he was not doing anything wrong.

00:14:13.660 He was not drunk.

00:14:14.960 He was there.

00:14:15.960 By the way, the pub manager, the landlady, came up to the cops and said, what are you doing?

00:14:20.140 He's fine.

00:14:20.260 And that's on camera.

00:14:21.100 Yeah.

00:14:21.840 So I think I don't want to guess how it's going to go because literally in half an hour we'll find out.

00:14:27.920 But I'm not optimistic.

00:14:30.340 And I think that the whole system over there has gone so far down the road towards authoritarianism.

00:14:37.700 My own small experience fighting for my right to have an opinion.

00:14:42.200 Imagine being told you cannot express an opinion on anything in this trial until I say so, says the judge.

00:14:50.080 That's so un-Canadian to me.

00:14:51.800 I thought we had a bad here.

00:14:54.020 It is bad over there.

00:14:55.400 Oh, yeah.

00:14:56.220 Ezra, Mr. Producer's telling me in my ear we've got to wrap it here.

00:15:00.300 There was so much more.

00:15:01.080 But I'll tell you, thanks for your excellent coverage.

00:15:04.360 It was absolutely superb.

00:15:05.620 And, folks, please go online, watch Ezra's reports.

00:15:09.080 It is amazing.

00:15:09.760 And as Ezra points out, really one of the saddest things is that this is a nation that 80 years ago stood up against the Nazis,

00:15:19.240 fought for the rights and freedoms that we have today, and for whatever reason seems so complicit in taking the knee, as Ezra says,

00:15:29.680 is to give up those rights and freedoms or at least have them severely curtailed.

00:15:33.860 I don't know what the future has in store for the UK as this goes on, but thankfully there are fighters like Tommy Robinson and Ezra Levin standing up for those rights and freedoms.

00:15:44.500 More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.

00:15:46.660 The Liberals have used every parliamentary tactic in the book to stop Jody Wilson-Raybould from finishing her testimony at the Justice and Human Rights Committee.

00:16:02.220 You could hear the pleas and the disgust from the opposition members of the Justice Committee

00:16:07.060 as partisan hack Liberal Anthony Housefather slit the throat of the final attempt to have Jody Wilson-Raybould respond to the spin and the rhetoric from top Liberal bureaucrats like Gerald Butts. 0.82

00:16:18.900 It's clear that the Liberals are doing everything that they can to stop Canadians from hearing anything more about the SNC scandal that Justin Trudoso desperately wants covered up before the election.

00:16:29.140 At a distraction announcement in Calgary, Minister Champagne took questions from the media,

00:16:32.940 where I was able to ask him if he thinks Jody Wilson-Raybould should be allowed to return to committee to testify.

00:16:39.080 Here's his response.

00:16:40.440 Can you tell me, do you think that Jody Raybould-Wilson should be allowed to go testify in committee again,

00:16:45.000 given that others have been allowed to return?

00:16:47.060 Well, I would say that for now, I think we have been able to listen to a number of witnesses.

00:16:52.480 What I take away from these testimonies is that the Prime Minister and his words in action always stayed within the bound of what was legal,

00:17:00.660 that every member of his staff understood there was a line not to be crossed.

00:17:06.180 And the most recent testimony, what I take away is that the Prime Minister had the 9,000 jobs in mind,

00:17:11.280 two-thirds of them are across Canada, one turn in Quebec, that he had done in mind,

00:17:16.720 and that at the end, what Gerald Butts was looking for in other staffers was to get a second opinion.

00:17:23.440 Well, don't know about you folks, but last time I saw so much spin occurring,

00:17:27.960 it was during a four-player game of battle and tops.

00:17:32.060 Which is to say, so much for Justin Trudeau's 2015 promises of sunny ways and transparency,

00:17:40.080 and claims that this bunch of liberals, well, they weren't going to be like, you know, the other guys.

00:17:46.060 Indeed, as Justin works on his tan lines and builds sandcastles on some Floridian beach,

00:17:52.520 his hapless foot soldiers are out on the hustings trying to convince Canadians that

00:17:57.920 everything about the SNC-Lavalin affair is not scandalous.

00:18:02.960 But unless you're a die-hard liberal supporter, or you just recently underwent a lobotomy,

00:18:09.000 very few are buying what these guys are selling.

00:18:12.760 And with more on that raging lav scam dumpster fire that refuses to go away,

00:18:18.000 is our Calgary-based rebel, Kian Bexte.

00:18:21.280 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, Kian. 0.99

00:18:23.640 Hi, thanks for having me.

00:18:24.800 Always a pleasure.

00:18:25.580 Now, so, Kian, that interview you did with Francois-Philippe Champagne,

00:18:31.000 it was downright painful to watch.

00:18:33.020 Just looking at his body language and his facial expressions,

00:18:38.060 it's clear to me, at least, that not even Minister Champagne believes a word of what he's saying.

00:18:43.760 So, if that's the case, what makes him think that anyone else is buying this rubbish?

00:18:51.220 Well, I don't think anyone is.

00:18:53.660 And the evidence on social media speaks for itself.

00:18:57.960 People are interested to hear what Jody Wilson-Raybould has to say.

00:19:01.360 Even if they disagree with their politics,

00:19:03.720 they want to know what Justin Trudeau said in those days,

00:19:07.900 what Justin Trudeau and top liberal bureaucrats like Gerald Butz and Michael Wernick said,

00:19:13.000 in those days where she had her testimony restricted,

00:19:17.180 which was after she stepped down from Cabinet,

00:19:19.260 people are interested.

00:19:20.260 And the fact that Justin Trudeau is using his henchmen in that committee to stop her from speaking

00:19:25.520 tells us that there's some stuff to figure out still,

00:19:31.340 or else they would be fine with her speaking.

00:19:33.220 So, it might do more harm than good to do what they're doing here.

00:19:37.540 And, you know, Kean, I think you nailed it there.

00:19:40.380 And, I mean, you rhetorically asked in your commentary what exactly is Justin Trudeau hiding.

00:19:47.300 And, I mean, given what Jody Wilson-Raybould has already said

00:19:51.160 and how damning it was, at least from an ethical and moral perspective,

00:19:56.360 I'll throw it out to you.

00:19:58.260 What do you think is being covered up?

00:20:01.800 What do you think that she has that could be even more damaging than what she's already stated?

00:20:09.420 That's a good question.

00:20:10.480 I think that the most damaging thing that could come out of this is more evidence

00:20:14.400 that Justin Trudeau is using this with personal partisan politics in mind.

00:20:22.240 So, and we heard brief glimpses of that when they were talking about 9,000 jobs

00:20:28.880 and, oh, but Justin Trudeau's writing is in Quebec,

00:20:32.240 and they should consider that in their decision.

00:20:35.860 I think that more political decision-making when it comes to this delayed prosecution

00:20:42.820 would be the worst thing for Trudeau, for sure.

00:20:45.580 And, you know, Kian, you mentioned again that number, 9,000 jobs,

00:20:50.700 and we read and hear and see that number over and over.

00:20:54.640 9,000 jobs, 9,000 jobs.

00:20:56.780 Has anyone put this to a means test?

00:20:59.680 I mean, just last week in Toronto on a local radio station,

00:21:03.420 I heard a liberal spin doctor being interviewed,

00:21:06.380 and the host asked him that very question.

00:21:08.420 How do we know it's 9,000 jobs?

00:21:10.480 And the answer was astonishing.

00:21:11.800 He said, well, whether it's 9,000 jobs or 5,000 jobs,

00:21:16.280 it's a significant number of jobs.

00:21:17.740 Now, wait a minute.

00:21:18.700 You just almost halved the number to 5,000 from 9,000.

00:21:23.320 So, Kian, I really want to know,

00:21:27.080 who came up with that number and has it been fact-checked?

00:21:31.240 I don't know who came up with that number,

00:21:33.340 and I almost guarantee you it hasn't been fact-checked,

00:21:35.720 because, well, there's a few things there.

00:21:38.140 First off, they're not supposed to use that as a consideration with deferred prosecutions.

00:21:42.460 It's the law.

00:21:43.540 They're just not supposed to.

00:21:44.780 And when they keep saying that over and over and over again,

00:21:46.940 it shows how out of touch they are with their own laws.

00:21:50.140 Secondly, if you go and watch that interview that I did with Champagne,

00:21:54.300 he says, and he changed the talking point,

00:21:57.220 you could tell that the PMO sent him his talking points for when he came to Alberta,

00:22:00.960 because it wasn't 9,000 jobs anymore.

00:22:03.020 It was, as you know, there was 9,000 jobs on the line,

00:22:07.220 and two-thirds of them were not even in Quebec.

00:22:10.820 They're across the country.

00:22:12.440 So, you know, they're trying to make it sound like it's this real national issue, right,

00:22:17.340 when it's not.

00:22:18.460 It's a couple thousand jobs that wouldn't even necessarily be lost,

00:22:22.240 and those jobs shouldn't even be in consideration

00:22:24.020 when they're making delayed prosecution agreements.

00:22:26.120 And you can tell that they're using this as a tool for their election

00:22:31.360 to make it sound like they're standing up for Canadians.

00:22:33.200 But that couldn't be farther from the truth,

00:22:34.860 and we know that for a fact,

00:22:36.240 because Justice Reel couldn't care less

00:22:37.780 when he puts oil science workers out of jobs,

00:22:40.600 both upstream and downstream in Alberta.

00:22:43.060 It's sad, really, how he's using this as an excuse.

00:22:45.580 You know what?

00:22:46.140 I think you hit two nails on the head right there, Kian. 1.00

00:22:49.380 First of all, when it comes to the law,

00:22:51.560 the law is the law.

00:22:53.180 You can't operate, you know, under the law

00:22:56.720 in terms of the ends justify the means,

00:22:58.640 i.e. turn a blind eye to this because there's many jobs at stake,

00:23:02.020 whatever that number is.

00:23:03.420 And secondly, as you just said,

00:23:05.380 Mr. Champagne, who is the Minister of Infrastructure and Communities,

00:23:10.400 he seems very concerned about these alleged 9,000 jobs.

00:23:15.540 Two-thirds that he pointed out to you were outside Quebec.

00:23:19.160 See, so it's not just a Quebec issue.

00:23:20.940 But where are the Liberals

00:23:22.560 when it comes to what's happening in the oil patch?

00:23:25.600 It's a greater number than 9,000 jobs at stake.

00:23:29.120 And it's pipeline paralysis by their own inaction

00:23:32.920 that's causing the Alberta economy to tank. 0.97

00:23:36.820 So where is this Minister of Infrastructure

00:23:39.360 when it comes to the jobs and the well-being of Albertans?

00:23:43.620 Well, it's clear that there's two tiers of workers here in Canada.

00:23:47.800 There's Quebec workers 1.00

00:23:48.940 and people that can benefit Trudeau politically.

00:23:52.820 And then there's workers who, even if, you know,

00:23:56.120 a couple of them started voting for the Liberals,

00:23:58.940 Justin Trudeau still wouldn't care about them

00:24:00.720 because he's just so diametrically opposed

00:24:03.420 to Alberta being successful.

00:24:05.180 And you can tell in every action that this government takes

00:24:07.340 from purchasing out a pipeline to the carbon tax,

00:24:12.000 it's clear that he doesn't care about Alberta being successful anymore.

00:24:16.360 And with Alberta's success comes Canada's success,

00:24:18.800 but it just doesn't click for him.

00:24:20.100 And, you know, Kian, and that's the thing, isn't it?

00:24:23.320 I mean, I don't want to sound too cynical here,

00:24:25.680 but the West is a write-off for the Liberal Party of Canada.

00:24:29.820 Part of their power base, and it was always thus, is Quebec.

00:24:35.460 And so when we're talking about job preservation,

00:24:38.980 let's not kid the kidders, as they say down at the Kearney.

00:24:42.240 This is about preserving Liberal MP jobs in Quebec,

00:24:47.860 even more so than SNC-Lavalin jobs in Quebec.

00:24:52.540 Yeah, I mean, you know what?

00:24:55.880 I have very little sympathy for SNC.

00:24:58.660 They bought prostitutes for a dictator's son.

00:25:02.440 Like, out of touch.

00:25:04.360 Like, I don't understand how Trudeau can morally stand up for this company,

00:25:08.360 regardless of how many jobs are on the line.

00:25:09.960 You don't see oil sands companies doing that here in Alberta,

00:25:13.180 but SNC does it.

00:25:15.020 No, it's not a big deal.

00:25:15.940 There's a couple jobs in line.

00:25:17.560 And you're right.

00:25:18.940 It is all political for the Liberals.

00:25:21.180 The election is going to be fought in Quebec,

00:25:23.120 and that's the problem with our Confederation,

00:25:25.120 that elections are fought and won in Quebec,

00:25:27.080 and the rest of the country would be damned.

00:25:28.420 And, you know, and you bring up a very interesting point there, too,

00:25:32.520 in terms of the hypocrisy factor, Kian.

00:25:35.080 That, like, circus sidebar story to this whole scandal,

00:25:39.320 that SNC-Lavalin put up, what was it, $30,000, I think,

00:25:43.220 to procure prostitutes for Gaddafi's son while in Canada.

00:25:48.700 First of all, I'm really interested to find out

00:25:52.260 how much service $30,000 in prostitution gets you these days. 1.00

00:25:58.100 I mean, it seems like an enormous number,

00:25:59.980 but the point I'm trying to make here

00:26:01.720 is this is a prime minister who declares himself a feminist,

00:26:04.800 and much of the feminist narrative is that, you know,

00:26:08.880 prostitution, that's kind of a form of human trafficking, 0.99

00:26:12.600 and, you know, it's something that women who are desperate, 1.00

00:26:16.440 you know, engage in.

00:26:18.760 So where is our feminist prime minister 1.00

00:26:21.120 when it comes to kowtowing to a country,

00:26:23.540 to a company, rather, that facilitates this kind of behavior?

00:26:28.640 Oh, you're right.

00:26:29.200 Prostitution, you know, it facilitates human trafficking,

00:26:32.440 drug trafficking.

00:26:33.080 It is a very, very bad industry to be involved in,

00:26:37.060 and for some reason, Trudeau's morals

00:26:38.540 just take a rain check on this one

00:26:41.080 because political jobs are at stake.

00:26:44.220 I mean, it's pathetic.

00:26:46.440 It's amazing.

00:26:47.340 Well, Kian, we'll see how this plays out. 0.94

00:26:50.680 I think we have to wrap it here.

00:26:52.680 I think one of the most fascinating things

00:26:54.220 is the fact that Ms. Wilson-Raybould

00:26:56.300 has indicated that she's still going to run as a liberal,

00:26:59.360 and I'm just wondering if Justin Trudeau

00:27:03.300 is going to sign her nomination papers

00:27:05.420 so that she does not sign her nomination papers

00:27:08.760 to prevent that from happening,

00:27:09.960 but time will tell.

00:27:11.280 This story has legs, as they say,

00:27:13.240 and thank you again for another excellent commentary.

00:27:17.240 Thank you so much for having me.

00:27:18.300 Take care.

00:27:18.640 And that was Kian Bexty in Calgary.

00:27:21.980 Keep it here, folks.

00:27:22.720 More of Rebel Roundup to come after this.

00:27:24.820 It's been alleged for years,

00:27:33.660 dating back to the early 90s,

00:27:35.500 that Michael Jackson serially abused

00:27:37.500 and sexually assaulted countless young boys,

00:27:39.600 including the two men in the recent HBO documentary

00:27:42.280 who, by the way,

00:27:43.740 have testified in defense of Michael Jackson in the past.

00:27:46.700 If you watch any of the past footage

00:27:48.940 of Michael Jackson's court appearances,

00:27:50.880 court proceedings,

00:27:51.820 and even reactions around the globe

00:27:53.420 when it was announced that Michael Jackson had died,

00:27:55.840 it is clearly evident

00:27:56.840 that he still has many supporters worldwide,

00:27:59.400 but specifically in Hollywood,

00:28:01.260 celebrities to a large degree

00:28:02.660 tend to stand up for their own.

00:28:04.260 Case in point, Brian Singer,

00:28:06.660 one of the most prolific

00:28:08.160 and profitable directors in the industry,

00:28:09.940 but there have been numerous allegations over the years

00:28:12.260 accusing Singer of everything

00:28:13.740 from ludax with underage boys to rape.

00:28:16.800 The stories consisted mainly of gossip

00:28:18.720 among people in the know

00:28:19.820 until December of 2017

00:28:21.760 when a man named Cesar Sanchez Guzman

00:28:23.980 filed a lawsuit against Singer,

00:28:25.920 alleging that Singer had raped him in 2003.

00:28:28.940 Not long after that,

00:28:30.020 the Singer's former boyfriend,

00:28:31.460 Brett Skopek,

00:28:32.620 spoke in an interview

00:28:33.440 about a life of drugs and orgies with the director.

00:28:36.080 So why the sudden urge to condemn Jackson?

00:28:38.180 Even Oprah did a post-interview

00:28:39.780 with the two men from the documentary.

00:28:41.900 And why no condemnation for Brian Singer?

00:28:43.880 Well, to me,

00:28:44.420 it comes down to an ability

00:28:45.540 to still get their pound of flesh out of Singer. 0.91

00:28:48.460 His latest film,

00:28:49.620 Bohemian Rhapsody,

00:28:50.560 won two Golden Globes,

00:28:51.780 four Oscars for Best Male Lead,

00:28:53.360 Best Sound Mixing,

00:28:54.200 Best Sound Editing,

00:28:55.060 and Best Film Editing.

00:28:56.380 It made $700 million in two months.

00:28:58.380 So you could say the studio execs

00:28:59.880 and anyone who works with him

00:29:01.520 as a financial stake

00:29:02.680 in protecting his reputation.

00:29:04.620 It should go without saying

00:29:05.800 that pedophilia and rape are insidious,

00:29:08.360 but it would seem that

00:29:09.440 when it comes to Hollyweird,

00:29:11.640 there's a sliding scale

00:29:13.360 when it comes to sex crimes

00:29:15.040 and the condemnation

00:29:16.320 of certain alleged sexual predators.

00:29:19.980 For example,

00:29:20.580 in the aftermath of the documentary

00:29:22.240 Leaving Neverland,

00:29:23.800 it seems almost fashionable now

00:29:25.520 for people to condemn Michael Jackson

00:29:27.720 and to stop playing his music.

00:29:29.780 Then again,

00:29:30.400 Mr. Jackson has been dead

00:29:31.600 for almost a decade,

00:29:32.840 so there are no more platinum records

00:29:35.540 being written by this artist.

00:29:37.380 Meanwhile,

00:29:38.000 as allegations continue to mount

00:29:39.740 regarding Brian Singer,

00:29:41.620 there's considerably less outrage

00:29:43.760 towards this director.

00:29:45.540 After all,

00:29:46.240 Mr. Singer's movies

00:29:47.440 make mega moolah

00:29:49.500 for the studios.

00:29:51.380 And joining me now

00:29:52.120 to further discuss

00:29:53.320 this double standard

00:29:54.560 is our L.A.-based

00:29:56.100 Hollywood conservative,

00:29:57.540 Amanda Head.

00:29:58.260 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, Amanda.

00:30:00.260 Thank you.

00:30:00.740 Good to see you.

00:30:01.460 Always a pleasure.

00:30:02.440 So Amanda,

00:30:03.340 I guess it just goes to show

00:30:05.320 yet again

00:30:05.880 that in the entertainment industry,

00:30:08.220 as always,

00:30:09.380 the biggest star

00:30:10.380 is the almighty dollar sign,

00:30:12.320 isn't it?

00:30:12.720 Yes, absolutely.

00:30:14.560 I mean, again,

00:30:15.040 we see that consistency

00:30:16.420 is not something

00:30:18.540 that reigns supreme

00:30:19.640 in Hollywood.

00:30:21.640 Beyond Harvey Weinstein

00:30:23.440 and Michael Jackson

00:30:24.480 and all of these people

00:30:25.640 who have ultimately suffered

00:30:27.340 in their career

00:30:28.340 because of these types

00:30:29.340 of allegations,

00:30:30.460 there are people

00:30:31.340 in Hollywood

00:30:32.340 like Brian Singer

00:30:33.720 who still,

00:30:35.440 for the most part,

00:30:36.200 just skate by.

00:30:37.240 Now,

00:30:37.580 I think that the reason is

00:30:39.240 Jackson is dead

00:30:42.060 and with the exception

00:30:43.960 of doing,

00:30:45.080 you know,

00:30:45.860 tribute documentaries

00:30:47.240 and shows

00:30:48.540 and airing his music,

00:30:51.120 there's not a whole lot

00:30:52.500 more money

00:30:53.040 that you can milk

00:30:53.820 out of the guy.

00:30:55.080 Brian Singer,

00:30:56.020 on the other hand,

00:30:57.160 obviously,

00:30:57.880 his latest film,

00:30:58.780 Bohemian Rhapsody,

00:31:00.160 Rami Malek,

00:31:01.320 the lead,

00:31:02.100 won the Oscar for that,

00:31:03.460 but it also won

00:31:04.320 three Oscars

00:31:05.060 for Best Sound Editing,

00:31:07.160 Best Sound Mixing,

00:31:08.140 and Best Film Editing.

00:31:09.360 So,

00:31:10.180 this is a guy

00:31:10.900 who is pretty prolific

00:31:12.560 and very profitable

00:31:14.120 in Hollywood

00:31:14.960 and I think that

00:31:15.880 that's why

00:31:16.380 you don't hear

00:31:17.000 a lot of celebrities

00:31:17.960 speaking out about him

00:31:19.560 because they still feel

00:31:20.680 like they can get

00:31:21.400 their pound of flesh

00:31:22.200 out of him.

00:31:23.120 You know,

00:31:23.360 and we should state

00:31:24.920 to Amanda

00:31:25.560 that nothing

00:31:27.000 in terms of

00:31:28.220 both these individuals

00:31:29.460 and several others

00:31:30.740 have been proven

00:31:31.640 in a court of law

00:31:32.900 but having said that,

00:31:35.240 I mean,

00:31:35.460 the allegations

00:31:36.200 seem quite damning

00:31:38.460 and I find it very curious,

00:31:40.360 you mentioned

00:31:40.740 in your commentary,

00:31:42.100 there's a group

00:31:42.980 of primarily

00:31:44.500 Michael Jackson fans

00:31:45.980 that have been

00:31:47.220 raising money

00:31:48.120 to carry out

00:31:48.800 a poster campaign

00:31:50.300 on London

00:31:51.780 double-decker buses

00:31:52.900 proclaiming

00:31:54.620 Michael Jackson's

00:31:55.800 innocence.

00:31:56.820 I think the line

00:31:57.480 they use is that

00:31:58.780 facts don't lie,

00:32:00.700 people do

00:32:01.300 and I found that

00:32:02.440 perversely humorous,

00:32:03.640 Amanda,

00:32:03.940 because,

00:32:04.640 well,

00:32:05.480 you guys are people

00:32:06.480 behind this campaign

00:32:08.140 of what I consider

00:32:09.580 to be misinformation.

00:32:11.160 So,

00:32:11.380 in other words,

00:32:12.280 you're kind of

00:32:12.900 damning yourself

00:32:13.700 because you people

00:32:14.860 are behind

00:32:15.400 these so-called facts.

00:32:16.680 What's your take

00:32:17.340 on that?

00:32:18.500 Well,

00:32:18.940 you know,

00:32:19.800 I criticize Hollywood

00:32:21.820 for their lack

00:32:22.540 of consistency

00:32:23.180 so I always try

00:32:25.060 to utilize

00:32:25.660 some journalistic

00:32:26.520 integrity

00:32:27.040 and consistency.

00:32:27.960 it's true

00:32:30.040 that there are

00:32:31.020 no tangible

00:32:33.260 or physical

00:32:34.000 videos of

00:32:35.220 Michael Jackson

00:32:36.080 sexually assaulting

00:32:37.820 any of these kids.

00:32:38.720 That's true.

00:32:40.180 Now,

00:32:40.500 in the case of

00:32:40.980 Bryan Singer,

00:32:41.560 there is a guy

00:32:42.280 who is suing him

00:32:44.180 and obviously

00:32:45.480 there has been

00:32:46.220 litigation in the past

00:32:47.280 regarding Michael Jackson

00:32:48.380 but you have

00:32:49.100 in the documentary

00:32:50.240 it has interviews

00:32:51.740 with two different guys

00:32:52.840 who prior to

00:32:55.100 this documentary

00:32:55.940 never collaborated

00:32:57.020 on their story

00:32:57.920 but they both

00:32:59.060 have similar stories

00:33:00.240 that kind of

00:33:00.780 line up with each other

00:33:01.740 and line up with

00:33:02.980 things that we do

00:33:04.540 see on film

00:33:05.520 which is Michael Jackson

00:33:07.280 kind of playing

00:33:08.500 musical chairs

00:33:09.460 with various

00:33:10.420 young boys.

00:33:12.220 You know,

00:33:12.460 one of them

00:33:13.080 will be in his life

00:33:14.120 for a little while

00:33:14.960 and then they will

00:33:15.620 cycle out

00:33:16.240 and Macaulay Culkin

00:33:17.080 will come in

00:33:17.720 and then James Safechuck

00:33:20.040 will come in

00:33:20.600 and so it's this cycle

00:33:22.000 that you don't

00:33:22.500 necessarily see

00:33:23.320 the abuse

00:33:23.920 on tape

00:33:25.160 or any tangible

00:33:26.220 evidence like that

00:33:27.180 but when you have

00:33:28.020 so many people

00:33:29.160 coming out

00:33:29.740 and saying this

00:33:30.700 I think that

00:33:32.980 it proves

00:33:33.860 the case.

00:33:35.440 And Amanda,

00:33:36.400 as far as I'm concerned

00:33:37.360 I agree that

00:33:38.800 this isn't

00:33:39.460 tangible proof

00:33:40.500 beyond a doubt

00:33:41.160 but Michael Jackson

00:33:43.260 when he was live

00:33:43.900 did admit to this

00:33:44.860 the idea of him

00:33:45.960 as a mature adult male

00:33:47.180 sharing a bed

00:33:48.300 with young boys

00:33:50.320 and I can tell you

00:33:51.860 presumably

00:33:53.320 as a mature adult

00:33:54.420 male myself

00:33:55.220 some people might

00:33:56.160 disagree with that

00:33:57.360 the very idea

00:33:59.260 of getting into the bed

00:34:01.260 with a minor

00:34:02.520 like even just

00:34:04.080 a lie there in TV

00:34:05.140 especially to those

00:34:06.260 you're not even related to

00:34:07.440 is so far beyond the pale

00:34:09.360 I don't think

00:34:10.320 the vast majority

00:34:11.340 of law abiding people

00:34:12.860 on the planet

00:34:13.740 would ever think

00:34:14.460 of such a thing.

00:34:15.800 No,

00:34:16.500 and you know

00:34:17.240 the fallout of this

00:34:18.840 what's really unfortunate

00:34:20.080 is for instance

00:34:21.200 my fiance

00:34:22.200 he loves kids

00:34:24.240 like he just

00:34:24.820 he's one of those people

00:34:26.040 unlike myself

00:34:27.100 who just instantly

00:34:28.740 has a connection

00:34:29.440 with kids

00:34:29.860 kids love him

00:34:30.660 he loves playing ball

00:34:31.840 with them

00:34:32.260 he loves

00:34:32.900 you know

00:34:33.440 rough housing with them

00:34:34.460 and one of his best friends

00:34:35.920 who has been his best friend

00:34:37.080 for decades

00:34:37.920 she has two sons

00:34:39.460 and Ryan is the godfather

00:34:41.100 of one of them

00:34:41.780 and he's very very close

00:34:43.760 with them

00:34:44.260 but Ryan

00:34:45.140 as he and I

00:34:45.800 were watching this documentary

00:34:46.960 he said

00:34:47.800 you know

00:34:48.160 what worries me

00:34:48.800 about this

00:34:49.300 is that when Jane

00:34:50.200 watches this

00:34:51.100 you know

00:34:52.280 who knows

00:34:52.880 what's going to

00:34:53.380 cross her mind

00:34:54.100 if she's going to

00:34:54.860 start to question

00:34:55.860 those types of

00:34:57.360 familial relationships

00:34:58.560 and that's the

00:34:59.400 unfortunate fallout

00:35:00.360 from this

00:35:00.760 and you know

00:35:01.380 I feel for the mothers

00:35:02.560 of Wade Robson

00:35:04.800 and James Safechuck

00:35:05.780 and in the documentary

00:35:06.800 they talk about how

00:35:07.920 you know

00:35:08.400 they feel like

00:35:09.120 they failed their sons

00:35:10.300 and I hate to be harsh

00:35:11.860 but they did

00:35:12.640 I agree

00:35:13.880 I can't understand

00:35:15.920 why they put their boys

00:35:17.220 in such a position

00:35:18.700 but you know

00:35:19.520 getting back to the

00:35:20.260 Hollywood angle

00:35:21.200 as a whole Amanda

00:35:22.480 I mean

00:35:23.360 it really to me

00:35:25.080 it comes across

00:35:26.200 as a very weird place

00:35:27.460 and I think

00:35:28.400 the

00:35:29.060 a pinnacle of weirdness

00:35:30.720 was hit

00:35:31.220 in regard to

00:35:32.460 the sexual abuse file

00:35:33.660 a few years ago

00:35:34.480 I can't remember

00:35:35.060 if it was the Oscars

00:35:35.840 or the Golden Globes

00:35:36.620 but somebody had made

00:35:37.900 a speech

00:35:38.540 referencing Roman Polanski

00:35:40.740 who has been a fugitive

00:35:42.360 from U.S. Justice

00:35:43.460 since 1978

00:35:44.780 for drugging

00:35:46.840 and raping

00:35:47.940 a 13 year old girl

00:35:49.300 and after his name

00:35:51.100 was mentioned

00:35:51.580 there was a quasi

00:35:52.680 standing ovation

00:35:53.780 some people were

00:35:54.640 getting up

00:35:55.200 and clapping

00:35:56.020 and I guess

00:35:56.980 all I can think of

00:35:58.640 is that

00:35:59.240 are there people

00:36:00.140 in that town

00:36:00.860 or people the world over

00:36:01.940 for that matter

00:36:02.480 Amanda

00:36:03.100 that they're able

00:36:04.800 to separate the art

00:36:06.340 from the artist

00:36:07.520 like Roman Polanski's

00:36:09.320 movies are brilliant

00:36:10.440 but Roman Polanski

00:36:12.520 is a certified creep

00:36:14.660 yeah

00:36:15.800 yes

00:36:17.480 to answer your question

00:36:18.560 I think that

00:36:19.200 99% of Hollywood

00:36:20.980 is very skilled

00:36:23.260 at compartmentalizing

00:36:24.700 those things

00:36:25.500 you

00:36:27.180 to them

00:36:28.240 they feel like

00:36:29.080 they can support

00:36:30.020 the art

00:36:30.660 without supporting

00:36:31.840 the artist

00:36:32.300 now

00:36:32.680 I don't feel that way

00:36:34.340 for me

00:36:34.920 if there is an artist

00:36:36.500 who I disagree with

00:36:37.520 who I think

00:36:37.960 has done egregious things

00:36:39.200 in their life

00:36:39.820 I don't buy their music

00:36:41.140 I don't download

00:36:42.200 their music

00:36:42.660 I don't watch

00:36:43.340 their movies

00:36:43.900 you know

00:36:45.360 I am not able

00:36:46.660 to compartmentalize

00:36:48.080 the characters

00:36:49.420 that someone creates

00:36:50.940 as an art

00:36:51.680 and the character

00:36:52.720 that they have

00:36:53.740 as a person

00:36:54.620 but I do think

00:36:55.640 that 99% of Hollywood

00:36:56.980 is able to do that

00:36:58.240 unfortunately

00:36:59.300 when they do do that

00:37:00.580 especially in the case

00:37:01.500 of people like

00:37:02.100 Roman Polanski

00:37:02.960 it just

00:37:04.320 it just really

00:37:05.060 kind of makes

00:37:05.880 Hollywood even dirtier

00:37:07.560 than it is

00:37:08.960 100%

00:37:09.940 well Amanda

00:37:10.740 we have to wrap it there

00:37:11.640 certainly the Michael Jackson file

00:37:13.560 that's going to turn into

00:37:14.480 a lawyer's paradise

00:37:15.400 in the months

00:37:16.220 and years ahead

00:37:16.960 and we'll just have to

00:37:18.220 keep an eye on

00:37:18.780 Bryan Singer

00:37:19.340 if he's able to

00:37:20.320 dodge this bullet

00:37:21.260 or if this

00:37:21.940 does in his career

00:37:23.520 a la Kevin Spacey

00:37:24.860 so thank you again

00:37:26.020 it was a great commentary

00:37:26.880 and thanks for weighing in

00:37:28.520 thank you

00:37:29.580 and that was Amanda Head

00:37:31.460 in Hollywood

00:37:32.480 and folks

00:37:33.460 keep it here

00:37:33.980 more of Rebel Roundup

00:37:35.040 to come

00:37:35.380 right after this

00:37:36.340 hey folks

00:37:44.220 don't you think

00:37:44.860 Justin Trudeau

00:37:45.780 would look absolutely

00:37:46.820 fabulous in orange

00:37:48.200 as in wearing

00:37:49.480 an orange prison jumpsuit

00:37:51.260 well we sure think so

00:37:52.800 which is why

00:37:53.360 we're here today

00:37:54.160 in the nation's capital

00:37:55.280 to deliver some messages

00:37:57.120 to the Trudeau Liberals

00:37:58.400 via our

00:37:59.400 Jumbotron

00:38:00.140 equipped truck

00:38:01.200 we're going to

00:38:02.420 reiterate

00:38:03.080 Jody Wilson-Raybould's

00:38:04.740 claim

00:38:05.120 that Trudeau

00:38:06.440 pressured her

00:38:07.260 to drop

00:38:08.200 criminal charges

00:38:09.540 against his friends

00:38:10.980 and we plan

00:38:12.160 to point out

00:38:12.840 that interfering

00:38:13.640 with a prosecution

00:38:14.680 in any manner

00:38:16.500 violates section

00:38:17.980 139

00:38:19.020 of the criminal code

00:38:20.500 and we want

00:38:21.880 to rhetorically

00:38:22.880 ask our fantastic

00:38:24.440 feminist prime minister

00:38:25.720 why he just

00:38:27.160 can't take no

00:38:28.320 for an answer

00:38:29.560 for an answer

00:38:29.580 from woman

00:38:30.480 and we want

00:38:32.140 to lend our voice

00:38:33.020 to the chorus

00:38:33.660 out there

00:38:34.260 demanding that the

00:38:35.420 RCMP investigate

00:38:36.940 this obstruction

00:38:38.200 of justice

00:38:38.980 and so it is

00:38:40.160 that we'll be driving

00:38:40.920 around Ottawa

00:38:41.580 today going to

00:38:42.480 places where the

00:38:43.760 Trudeau Liberals

00:38:44.620 might indeed see

00:38:45.940 these messages

00:38:46.660 oh and by the way

00:38:47.840 if you haven't

00:38:48.360 already done so

00:38:49.160 folks

00:38:50.700 new website

00:38:51.440 jailtrudeau.com

00:38:56.900 for us by helping

00:38:57.940 to crowdfund

00:38:58.860 our electronic

00:38:59.980 billboard equipped

00:39:01.060 truck that we

00:39:02.240 sent to Ottawa

00:39:02.980 on Monday

00:39:03.640 to deliver a

00:39:04.900 pointed message

00:39:05.680 to the Trudeau

00:39:06.880 Liberals

00:39:07.320 namely

00:39:08.140 the issues

00:39:09.120 surrounding

00:39:09.840 lav scam

00:39:10.940 are not going

00:39:12.180 away

00:39:12.640 anytime soon

00:39:14.060 now our truck

00:39:15.160 generated a ton

00:39:16.140 of response

00:39:16.840 some pro

00:39:17.740 and some con

00:39:18.840 hey

00:39:19.120 Ottawa is home

00:39:20.700 to Canada's

00:39:21.380 biggest government

00:39:22.200 and largest

00:39:23.380 bureaucracy

00:39:23.920 after all

00:39:24.680 so there are

00:39:25.240 numerous people

00:39:26.520 there who have

00:39:27.200 swallowed copious

00:39:28.280 quantities of

00:39:29.140 Liberal branded

00:39:30.140 Kool-Aid

00:39:30.700 but still

00:39:31.860 we felt this

00:39:32.640 mission was an

00:39:33.800 enormous success

00:39:34.940 in terms of

00:39:36.000 reminding the

00:39:36.620 Trudeau Liberals

00:39:37.300 that despite all

00:39:38.280 their distraction

00:39:39.120 tactics of late

00:39:40.180 we're keeping

00:39:41.720 a close eye

00:39:42.680 on them

00:39:43.060 and so are you

00:39:44.380 our loyal

00:39:45.380 Rebel viewers

00:39:46.340 in any event

00:39:47.980 here's what

00:39:48.420 some of you

00:39:48.980 had to say

00:39:49.700 Lorne Southeron

00:39:51.400 writes

00:39:51.780 Trudeau is

00:39:53.040 opening up

00:39:53.660 the conversation

00:39:54.480 about corrupt

00:39:55.720 culture

00:39:56.200 yeah

00:39:56.560 by starting

00:39:57.420 with himself

00:39:58.160 lol

00:39:58.740 hey Lorne

00:39:59.920 if only

00:40:00.980 Justin Trudeau

00:40:02.360 had the decency

00:40:03.280 to come forth

00:40:04.080 with a mea

00:40:05.020 culpa

00:40:05.340 or three

00:40:06.060 but that's

00:40:07.400 not the way

00:40:07.800 he operates

00:40:08.580 he's incapable

00:40:09.900 of such

00:40:10.660 contrition

00:40:11.300 oh sure

00:40:12.560 no Prime

00:40:13.500 Minister

00:40:19.780 were for

00:40:20.080 the transgressions

00:40:20.980 of others

00:40:21.620 regarding incidents

00:40:22.700 that happened

00:40:27.340 and apologize

00:40:28.000 to the

00:40:28.520 reporter
