00:00:03.700
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
00:00:10.260
by your favourite Rebels. I'm your host, David Menzies.
00:00:14.380
Just how bad is lav scam getting for Justin Trudeau?
00:00:18.000
Well, would you believe that dozens of young women who would have given him
00:00:22.700
a standing ovation in the House of Commons just a few months ago
00:00:26.760
are now literally turning their backs on the PM?
00:00:30.620
Rebel Commander Ezra Levent has the latest on the ongoing SNC-Lavalin dumpster fire.
00:00:37.080
So, Kenan Bextie was in the riding of Calgary Varsity the other day
00:00:45.740
But current NDP candidate, former communist Anne McGrath,
00:00:51.020
she didn't care for his questions, so guess what?
00:00:53.800
She called the cops. Just while you hear the details.
0.98
00:00:58.800
And our Tinseltown Rebel recently attended a showing of the entire Dark Knight trilogy,
00:01:04.100
an event hosted by director Christopher Nolan himself.
00:01:08.060
While many on the left loathe the right-of-centre narrative these films embody,
00:01:13.260
Ben Davies is going to explain why these leftists are really a bunch of jokers.
00:01:17.960
And finally, letters. We get your letters. We get your letters every minute of every day.
00:01:23.320
And I'll share some of your responses regarding the removal of a high-risk transgendered pedophile
1.00
00:01:30.240
who had been placed in a female halfway house in Brampton, Ontario.
1.00
00:01:35.040
Yeah, apparently he violated his parole conditions in less than a week.
00:01:41.100
Those are your rebels. Now let's round them up.
00:01:43.260
Let me show you a bizarre TV clip of Trudeau speaking to a group of young women
00:01:57.340
Remember, almost 50 of these young women, when Trudeau spoke,
00:02:00.920
as you can see here, they stood up and turned their backs on him.
00:02:04.560
He was speaking. They stood up with their backs to him.
00:02:08.000
And it's sort of incredible, given how much he's sold himself as a male feminist.
00:02:13.020
I think he's destroyed that reputation these past two months.
00:02:16.040
These young women are his core demographic.
0.98
00:02:18.940
They all think he's just like a Gian Gomeschi character now, a groper,
00:02:26.080
Anyways, to the young women who didn't turn their backs on him,
00:02:29.760
here's what he said. Now listen to this. It's so weird. Listen.
00:02:32.800
I know nobody in here wants to have to pick who to believe
00:02:37.320
between Jody Wilson-Raybould and Chrystia Freeland.
00:02:41.500
Nobody wants to know that one person has to be right
00:02:54.660
There are always going to be a range of perspectives
00:02:59.000
First of all, he actually forgot Jane Philpott's name, which is weird.
00:03:06.060
Look what he did. He reframed this whole crisis
00:03:08.340
as just something between quarreling women.
0.92
00:03:21.500
So this whole problem these past two months hasn't been about him.
00:03:26.600
The problem is between a couple of quarrelsome women,
1.00
00:03:55.580
I don't know anyone else who would get that close to some of these women
1.00
00:04:03.680
Why are you coming nose to nose with these women?
0.99
00:04:14.560
Trudeau is playing a weird sociopathic political game here.
00:04:20.280
He's changing the historical facts with a straight face, daring you, telling you not
00:04:29.700
This wasn't about him trying to bully Jody Wilson-Raybould.
00:04:33.480
This is about Jody Wilson-Raybould fighting with Chrystia Freeland.
00:04:36.540
This isn't about him doing something that Jane Philpott disapproved of.
00:04:43.580
It's because she was fighting with Catherine McKenna.
00:04:54.760
McKenna and Freeland had nothing to do with this.
00:04:59.800
But it served to exonerate himself psychologically, so he doesn't have to take any responsibility
00:05:06.240
Well, the SNC-Lavalin affair is kind of like a Yoko Ono concert, isn't it?
00:05:11.500
It started out badly and then proceeds to get horrid.
00:05:15.800
And tragically, if you're a card-carrying liberal, that is, it didn't have to be this
00:05:20.980
If Prime Minister Justin Trudeau simply manned up when the Globe and Mail article originally
00:05:25.720
broke this story and told the truth and apologized to Jody Wilson-Raybould, well, it would have
00:05:31.780
pledged that there would be no deferred prosecution agreement for SNC-Lavalin, well, this story would
00:05:39.840
But instead, the scandal continues to fester like some ghastly soap opera script.
00:05:45.360
And far from manning up, now Trudeau is metaphorically hiding behind the skirts of Freeland and
00:05:53.900
Joining me now to weigh in on a scandal that will surely dog Trudeau all the way to Election
00:05:59.740
Day is our very own Rebel Commander Ezra Levant.
00:06:02.500
Welcome to Ezra, welcome to Rebel Roundup, Ezra.
00:06:07.040
You know, I think back, I was listening to you there, and I might have told you this anecdote
00:06:12.120
before, Ralph Klein in Alberta had a pretty good sense of the province, pretty good feeling
00:06:19.400
But he, no, it's perfect, especially when you're making decisions every day.
00:06:22.900
So, but once a year, he would get something really, really wrong.
00:06:27.280
And every politician's instinct is to dig your heels in, which is probably the right instinct
00:06:31.920
because you get it pushed around so much, if you caved in at the first breeze, you would
00:06:37.840
But when it was clear that he just got something really wrong, Ralph would just, in his own
00:06:44.960
Ralph-y way, just go and say, you know what, folks?
00:06:52.700
And look, and it was like a 30-second press conference because when you say, I screwed
00:06:59.780
There's really not much more you need to say because you've said it all.
00:07:03.800
Yeah, well, that was the miracle, is that his popularity would always grow up because
00:07:09.100
people would say, holy moly, he's normal and he's not a liar.
00:07:20.960
The news is that a politician admitted it and fixed it and no one ever expected anyone
00:07:26.300
to be 100% perfect, especially not Ralph Klein.
00:07:28.760
Now, here's the thing, Justin Trudeau makes apologies every month, but they're not genuine.
00:07:38.240
He's an expert at apologizing for things other people did, often decades or even a century
00:07:44.800
And the reason that's a fake apology is because when you apologize for what someone else did,
00:07:49.900
especially if it was long ago, you're not actually saying sorry because you have nothing
00:07:54.000
What you're actually doing is a psychological trick.
00:07:57.840
You're saying, because I'm the only one who would apologize for him, I'm better than him.
00:08:03.800
And I'm going to get the kudos for apologizing for him.
00:08:14.780
So his fake apologies are less than meaningful.
00:08:17.600
They're actually proof that he's a bit of a scammer, because you don't apologize for
00:08:34.420
Get rid of the people trying to corrupt the system.
00:08:55.300
Why would you want the prime minister to admit his office was wrong?
00:08:59.840
Because if he won't admit it's wrong, that means he doesn't think it's wrong.
00:09:03.580
He doesn't get it that he was doing something wrong.
00:09:08.700
By the way, none of those things, as you'll see,
00:09:10.540
make Jody Wilson-Raybould more rich, more powerful, more influential,
00:09:16.580
None of those things are what you would traditionally negotiate for in some...
00:09:21.280
Like, normally, if you're lobbying or negotiating,
00:09:25.400
These weren't even conditions for her own benefit.
00:09:32.000
Look, he said goodbye to Butts and Wernick anyways.
00:09:35.320
So say goodbye to this last guy who was trying to corrupt the system.
00:09:43.300
Imagine if he would have done that two months ago.
00:09:45.680
This thing would have been a blip and it would have been done with.
00:09:48.220
And Jody Wilson-Raybould would be able to say in honesty,
00:09:59.920
No, he is clearly an author of his own misfortune, Ezra,
0.62
00:10:03.740
in the fact that he cannot apologize for something that he has screwed up.
00:10:08.480
But I think that was a watershed moment on Wednesday when you had the daughters of the vote in the House of Commons,
00:10:13.400
almost 50 of them turned their backs on Justin Trudeau.
00:10:18.260
And yet, you know, talk about not being accountable for your actions and for what you've done.
00:10:24.040
Trudeau had that speech where he was talking about, you know, you can't be a team player, you know,
00:10:30.040
trying to ensure diversity if it's Freeland versus you, if it's McKenna versus you.
00:10:37.280
It wasn't me, the guy, you know, Trudeau was saying.
00:10:41.880
He turned it into a she said, she said event instead of he said, she said.
00:10:45.860
I'm wondering if Trudeau even went to Freeland and McKenna said,
00:10:48.880
by the way, I'm going to be using your names in this speech I'm giving to the daughters of the vote.
00:10:54.280
But of course he knew in advance they would be fine with it because they have agreed to do anything for him.
00:11:01.620
Which is exactly the opposite of Jodie Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott.
00:11:04.620
Two professional women of accomplishment who had accomplished careers outside of politics before they got in.
0.98
00:11:11.440
Chrystia Freeland was a pop journalist who wrote some sort of tabloid style books
1.00
00:11:18.640
and wrecked a little new media initiative in New York for Thomson Reuters.
00:11:30.040
And Catherine McKenna is some social justice warrior activist.
00:11:35.000
Compare those extremely lean, or in the case of Chrystia Freeland, negative resumes with Jodie Wilson-Raybould,
00:11:41.800
an aboriginal woman who became a top prosecutor, or Jane Philpott, who was a doctor who led, you know, aid missions abroad.
00:11:50.620
So Chrystia Freeland and Catherine McKenna are absolutely grateful to the great white giver, Justin Trudeau.
00:12:00.500
You think Chrystia Freeland, on her own merits, should be the foreign minister?
0.90
00:12:08.460
Now, Trudeau gets a lot of blame for that, too.
00:12:10.080
I mean, the fact that they put her in charge of the NAFTA renegotiations, she's never negotiated anything before other than a failed deal with, like, the Belgians or something.
00:12:21.540
So it's such a contrast between these two women of character.
0.91
00:12:25.260
And by the way, I disagree ideologically with Jodie Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott.
00:12:33.900
But this is about the integrity of the system, right?
00:12:36.280
And that's why I'm so impressed with Jodie Wilson-Raybould that I don't even think for a moment about our ideological differences.
00:12:42.480
It's because when was the last time anyone left or right showed the kind of moral care and conscientiousness that they would actually quit cabinet on a point of principle?
00:12:53.240
And then Jane Philpott to quit cabinet also, even though she wasn't directly in the file, those are astonishing acts of self-sacrifice that...
00:13:06.460
I mean, when I started by mentioning how Ralph Klein would occasionally just say, guys, I screwed up.
00:13:13.420
That's just embarrassing yourself for 30 seconds and saying what everyone already knew.
00:13:18.860
So everyone was wowed when Ralph Klein would say, I got it wrong.
00:13:21.740
Here are two women who actually ended their political careers, at least temporarily, maybe forever, over a point of morality.
0.94
00:13:36.860
Trudeau screws up quite a bit, also because he's led a life of luxury and unseriousness.
00:13:42.320
And it was only in the last 5, 10 years that he's decided to be a grownup.
00:13:48.280
You can imagine the lifetime of experience that Jody Wilson-Raybould had, especially as a prosecutor.
00:13:54.720
Dealing with right and wrong, making tough ethical calls.
00:13:58.780
Well, being a prosecutor, I wouldn't want that job.
00:14:01.040
But if you succeeded that, you'd probably care about the law, I'm guessing.
00:14:11.320
But it's so funny when he talks about it, he has this psychological trick.
00:14:16.160
And watch for it, because once you know it, you can't unsee it.
00:14:19.340
If he does something really bad, like let's say when he groped Rose Knight, the young reporter
00:14:25.780
in Creston, B.C., and when he's dead to rights, when everyone knows he's, he comes out and he
00:14:32.800
repositions himself out of the fray as an observer above it.
00:14:38.340
So he says, ah, this was a good learning experience for us, for the country, and I'm happy to
00:14:48.720
And she had her point of view, and there's another point of view, and I'm the great giver
00:14:58.500
He takes himself out, and he posits that, oh, I'm the observer.
00:15:02.640
I'm hovering above everything like some cosmic priest, and I say, you, this is not about me
00:15:10.160
This is about Jody Wilson-Raybould versus Chrystia Freeland.
00:15:14.140
But Ezra, isn't there some perverse irony, and you addressed this in a superb commentary
00:15:19.020
earlier this week, that here is a prime minister who professes to be a feminist, and yet when
1.00
00:15:24.980
he perceives his female cabinet ministers screwing up, you're demoted, you're out of caucus,
00:15:31.760
but as you mentioned, the likes of that dinosaur, John McCallum, Ranar Sarkar, when there's
00:15:37.820
a screw-up there, they get plum diplomatic posts.
0.99
00:15:41.380
So, you know, not really true to the street cred of being a feminist, it would seem.
00:15:48.040
I mean, why was he, you know, I mean, probably the worst cabinet, I mean, I think Mary Amonsef
00:15:54.700
is the worst cabinet minister, so I'm not going to say Seamus O'Regan's worse than her,
00:15:58.060
but he's so bad, and of course he had to take a leave of absence because of his alcoholism,
00:16:05.120
and I'm not going to be particularly mean to him about that, but he gets promoted?
00:16:09.360
And what did the aboriginal people of this country ever do to deserve being punished with
1.00
00:16:13.600
So there's an example, Seamus O'Regan is a clown, is a drunk, I'm sorry, he is.
00:16:19.080
His former colleague, Bob Fyfe, calls him Seamus O'Regan.
00:16:28.840
John McCallum fails upward, and he goes to China as our ambassador and screws that up.
00:16:34.840
All these men fail upward in the Liberal Party.
00:16:38.340
I guess that's Trudeau's own trajectory, but these women get offside.
1.00
00:16:41.900
And I say, I mean, Selina Cesar Chavannes, I have my disagreements with her, I think she's
00:16:47.260
But, oh my God, does Trudeau not know how to handle women who disagree with him?
00:16:54.620
Jody Wilson-Raybould, Jane Philpott, Selina Cesar Chavannes, of course, Leona Alislev,
00:17:01.280
the MP who defected to the Conservatives a few months ago.
00:17:04.900
It is so unusual to defect from a governing party to an opposition party, especially in
00:17:12.060
So you have four women in a row, all in their own way.
1.00
00:17:16.500
Again, I really disagree with Selina Cesar Chavannes on issues of ideology, and I think
00:17:28.720
And Leona Alislev, I think she's a military vet.
00:17:32.880
I'm not talking about the weird Miriam Monsefs and Christy Duncans and even Catherine
00:17:38.980
McKinnis and, like, the women who actually built something with their life, Trudeau can't
00:17:47.520
He only likes the pure window dressing, say-anything doormats.
00:18:04.480
He takes liberties with them that normally you don't do with any woman who's not your
00:18:11.960
And those women in that, here's the trick that both Joe Biden and Justin Trudeau have
0.71
00:18:24.180
And that's, it works, unfortunately, more on women than on men.
1.00
00:18:27.000
Is when Justin Trudeau or Joe Biden see a powerful woman who's achieved things, that's a bit
00:18:37.700
They go up to them and they physically dominate them by invading their personal space in a manner
00:18:42.960
that no other man ought to do other than a man who, frankly, they're married to.
00:18:48.100
And I'm not talking about having sex with them.
00:18:50.180
I'm talking about full body hugs, getting really right in their face.
00:18:53.400
And to do so, and why do both Joe Biden and Justin Trudeau do that in a public moment?
00:19:05.020
Because then they force that woman to make an instant choice.
0.97
00:19:09.560
And of course, if she has a problem with it, that's her truth.
00:19:12.040
Well, but the thing is, in that moment, if it was in private, I bet you most of those
00:19:18.140
women would push away Joe Biden and Justin Trudeau and say, what are you doing?
1.00
00:19:22.720
But because both men force it into an extremely public place, they make the woman choose.
00:19:30.800
Do you want to continue with your swearing-in ceremony as cabinet minister?
00:19:34.620
Do you want to continue with this greatest moment in your life, you're being sworn in
00:19:39.400
If so, just know that you have to be dominated by me.
00:19:45.680
Push me away and cause a scene or submit to my dominance physically, morally, emotionally,
00:19:57.320
Most of them fail because they're so shocked by it.
00:20:00.640
But it is an absolute psychosexual emotional dominance move.
00:20:10.500
As we're almost out of time, one quick question.
00:20:15.900
What can Justin Trudeau possibly do at this stage to fix this mess?
00:20:22.680
Well, I think, as Shakespeare said, he's waded into blood so deep, I'm not quoting verbatim,
00:20:30.040
that it's quicker to go all the way through than to turn back.
00:20:39.840
Basically, you're in so deep, it's faster to go through than to turn back.
00:20:44.660
So I believe that he will not only increasingly badmouth Jody Wilson-Raybould
00:20:52.240
and Jane Philpott, but I believe he will actually grant a deferred prosecution agreement
00:20:58.040
to SNC-Lavalin because he's all the way in, so far in, why not go all the way through?
00:21:05.440
And I, as I posited in my monologue yesterday, there's two possibilities.
00:21:15.420
The other is, look, SNC-Lavalin is a corrupt company in its DNA.
00:21:23.400
Bombardier has corruption and bribery scandals in countries all over the world.
00:21:31.520
And I don't just mean dramatic corruption in Africa, in Libya, but in Montreal.
00:21:38.000
Corruption with the hospital, corruption with the bridge, corruption, corruption, corruption.
00:21:43.580
If they're granted a deferred prosecution agreement and don't have to go through trial,
00:21:50.120
If they go to trial, what will we learn about corruption?
00:21:53.400
Is there some donation they've made to a liberal?
00:21:57.980
We saw how they lavished Muammar Gaddafi's son with gifts and prostitutes and sports events
00:22:07.800
Well, we know for a fact that Justin Trudeau loves to take illegal gifts, like he took those
00:22:13.240
vacations on Billionaire Island from the Aga Khan.
00:22:15.860
Did SNC-Lavalin, just even something as small as let Justin Trudeau fly on their private jet?
00:22:22.620
Because that's a hell of a perk to give someone.
00:22:25.580
I would say it would be utterly unsurprising for Justin Trudeau to have taken a flight
00:22:37.440
His wife, the grasping, gold-digging Sophie Grigoir Trudeau, did you know that she phoned
00:22:43.000
up the daughter of the Aga Khan and said, we sure had a good time at your island.
00:22:51.340
And the princess, the Aga Khan's daughter, said, well, we're not going to be there.
0.99
00:22:56.000
And Sophie Grigoir Trudeau said, oh, no, no, that's, yeah, I know that.
00:23:03.400
And I know you're thinking, I'm making this up, but if you, this is in the Ethics
00:23:09.480
So you don't think the grasping, gold-digging, social-climbing Sophie Grigoir Trudeau would
00:23:21.880
And if there's a deal struck with SNC-Lavalin, none of us will have any evidence of this.
00:23:26.780
I think that Justin Trudeau is going to blaze all the way through.
00:23:30.620
Well, Ezra, we're going to have to wrap it here.
00:23:35.960
I don't think this is a fixable problem anymore.
00:23:38.620
And it's going to be very interesting when the election campaign does kick off.
00:23:49.040
How do you run on the Trudeau brand, given what we've seen in the last two months in 2019?
00:23:56.400
More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
00:24:01.880
You're calling the police because I'm asking you why you're a communist.
00:24:22.020
Are you guys comfortable volunteering for a communist?
00:24:24.740
Is Rachel Notley happy that you are a communist?
00:24:41.580
Do you know how many people communism has killed?
00:24:49.120
He's got a baseball cap, dark sunglasses, brown leather coat, jeans.
00:25:09.860
You're a public figure and you can leave if you like.
00:25:15.660
I think that it's reasonable for the media to ask you since...
00:25:18.160
Well, since the CBC has refused to actually publish the fact that you are a communist
00:25:30.220
I just want to know if you regret being a communist.
00:25:32.860
And if Rachel Notley has forgiven you for that.
00:25:46.780
Meet Anne McGrath currently running in the riding of Calgary Varsity for the NDP.
00:25:52.200
But McGrath has a somewhat checkered history, formerly running as a Communist Party candidate.
00:25:58.220
And she also once stated that she'd like to see capitalists burn.
00:26:04.760
But as you just saw, she doesn't like discussing the nitty-gritty details pertaining to her sordid past these days.
00:26:12.480
And if you happen to be a reporter who has the utter temerity to ask impolite questions,
00:26:18.400
well, she'll call the police to have you taken away.
1.00
00:26:22.460
Gee, maybe she thinks Alberta is already a communist regime.
0.55
00:26:26.840
And with more on this remarkable interview is our Calgary-based rebel, Kian Bextie.
00:26:38.140
Kian, that might be a law enforcement first that we all just witnessed.
00:26:43.180
The alleged victim, Ms. McGrath, is being assisted with pertinent information about the alleged aggressor,
00:26:51.840
I was howling when you were passing along info to her, such as your height, your race, the fact that you weren't weaponized, etc.
00:27:00.120
But, Kian, does this woman not understand that as a public figure in a public space, she's fair game for questions?
00:27:15.400
And I don't know how to report on this because it's so unbelievable that she thought it was appropriate to call the cops on a journalist.
00:27:30.120
I just pulled over for this interview because I'm on the campaign trail right now trying to find a few NDP MLAs.
00:27:36.460
But the fact that Rachel Notley's star candidate, someone who has been running the McDougal Center,
00:27:44.020
which is the government operations center in Calgary for southern Alberta, she's the executive director of the McDougal Center.
00:27:50.000
She's a well-read, she's an educated individual, but she doesn't understand that public sidewalks are by definition public.
00:27:58.440
And in public spaces, anyone can record anything, anyone can ask whatever questions they want of people,
00:28:04.620
especially when they're an influential, powerful public figure.
00:28:08.520
Anne McGrath is running a swing riding in Calgary Varsity.
00:28:13.540
There's a lot of university students and there's a lot of uncertainty whether or not she's going to win or the United Conservative Party candidate is going to win.
00:28:22.640
If she does win, she will be one of the few NDP MLAs who win in Calgary,
00:28:27.820
which means that she has a high chance of being in the NDP leadership following the orange crush that we're going to see on April 16th.
00:28:37.220
So the fact that such an incompetent public figure has a high likelihood of running the NDP in the next, within a few weeks, honestly, is surprising to me.
00:28:46.700
That is amazing. And, you know, what I'm curious about, Kian, I find it personally fascinating that anyone growing up in the West
00:28:56.340
could develop a liking for communism, an ideology that I think on the low side of estimates has killed 100 million people.
00:29:07.000
I'm curious, Kian, why do you think the media is giving her a pass on this?
00:29:13.140
As you mentioned in your commentary, she's rarely, if ever, questioned about her past.
00:29:18.580
And it's not just that. That statement, too, about wanting to see capitalists burn.
00:29:23.500
I mean, whatever happened to the loving, inclusive left?
00:29:28.000
Well, she's certainly not loving and inclusive by any means.
00:29:32.100
And you're right about journalists not wanting to highlight her communist past, her red record.
00:29:39.820
She was a communist candidate during the Cold War.
00:29:43.140
During the Cold War at a time when any hour of the day of the entire decade, the entire world could have been enveloped in a nuclear holocaust.
00:29:55.540
She was on the Russian team at a time when everyone was terrified.
00:29:59.660
There was drills sending students under their desks in case there was a nuclear holocaust.
00:30:04.060
And she thought that the Russians, they were the model ideology to follow, the USSR.
00:30:11.300
And the CBC, they even went as far to outline her entire electoral history because she's ran a few times in Calgary for less radical parties like the NDP.
00:30:21.700
But they neglect to mention that she ran for the communists in 1984.
00:30:34.600
But, you know, Kian, the way she handled herself on camera, she did an entire disservice to herself.
00:30:41.380
And so there's two things I got out of that interview.
00:30:44.180
First of all, how she could have turned that into a PR win is that if she actually granted you a brief interview and said,
00:30:51.080
you know what, I was younger then, I didn't have a worldview that I have now, I renounce communism,
00:30:57.760
she could have come clean and, you know, maybe a lot of people would give her a pass for that.
1.00
00:31:03.440
And that suggests to me that maybe, I don't know, I can't read minds,
00:31:08.060
but maybe she still has a soft spot in her heart for communism.
00:31:12.860
But, you know, running as a communist party candidate in Canada, that's a no-hoper.
00:31:16.980
So she'll go, I don't know, commie light and run as an NDP candidate.
0.88
00:31:22.860
Well, we've seen, Rachel Notley has talked about Anne McGrath.
00:31:26.900
She sent Anne McGrath to Calgary as sort of a message of hope to Calgarians back about two years ago,
00:31:36.860
Because remember, and for the viewers who don't know this,
00:31:40.320
the McDougal Centre was left empty for the first couple of years of the NDP mandate,
00:31:47.760
Calgarians saw that the government was operating out of Edmonton.
00:31:51.580
They didn't care about Calgary as much as Edmonton.
00:31:54.180
And this was just an NDP government that would put the Edmonton agenda above the rest of the province.
00:32:00.900
And finally, two years into their mandate, they send commie McGrath to run the McDougal Centre.
00:32:06.540
And that's what they thought was hope for Calgarians?
00:32:12.520
And I don't think Calgarians would buy it if they knew that she was a communist.
00:32:17.000
But the mainstream media isn't telling Calgarians.
00:32:19.160
I could talk to any of these folks here at this coffee shop with me and say,
00:32:23.540
We're in Anne McGrath's riding right now, actually.
00:32:26.960
And they might say, yeah, she's the NDP candidate.
1.00
00:32:29.700
But right when you ask them, did you know she's a commie,
00:32:32.000
as I did with a cyclist who was riding by as I was talking to Anne McGrath,
00:32:36.880
once you tell them that she was a communist, she's unelectable.
00:32:42.360
And that's why the NDP has done such a good job at whipping the media
00:32:45.720
to make sure that they don't talk about this horrendous record of Anne McGrath's.
00:32:53.180
Sorry if I'm carrying on here, but Anne McGrath has censored the rebel,
0.98
00:32:55.860
not just by calling the police on me a few days ago.
00:32:59.160
She has gone as far to make sure that nobody can post anything about her
0.56
00:33:06.620
She's gone as far, allegedly, to take signs off of people's lawns,
00:33:11.760
UCP signs off of people's lawns, and replace them with NDP signs.
00:33:15.260
I just interviewed a lady here in Calgary Varsity saying the exact same thing happened this morning.
00:33:20.220
She woke up, her son went out to her car, and saw an NDP sign on their lawn,
00:33:25.360
and they didn't know where their UCP sign went.
00:33:27.780
The Anne McGrath is only going to win this if her censorship wins.
1.00
00:33:31.120
Something has to change her. I don't know what it is.
00:33:33.340
I don't know what we can do to make sure that we get our message out.
00:33:37.480
But, Kian, that's fascinating what you just said.
00:33:39.920
I mean, I know in politics of all stripes, when it comes to vacant lots,
00:33:45.680
there's always one candidate ripping out somebody else's sign and putting their sign in.
00:33:50.080
But, like I said, it's a vacant lot or public property.
00:33:53.720
Are you telling me this candidate or her minions are running around this Calgary riding
00:33:58.960
and actually removing somebody's sign on private property and replacing it with one of her own?
00:34:07.900
I mean, I don't have any video evidence to prove it.
00:34:12.480
She showed me the NDP sign as evidence that it was on her lawn, and her UCP sign was gone.
00:34:18.360
She called the local UCP campaign asking for a new sign as a replacement.
00:34:23.100
She called the NDP campaign to complain, and the NDP said nothing.
00:34:27.700
And the UCP said that this is a reoccurring theme, that they had done this before.
00:34:33.300
I just got to say that for the lawyers that are probably listening from the NDP.
00:34:37.900
But it's unverified for now, other than the resident who has said it to me.
00:34:47.540
But there's a video that will show up here on the Rebel website,
00:34:51.900
I think probably tonight or tomorrow morning, of my interview with her.
00:35:01.320
There you can see every video that I've done about Anne McGrath and with Anne McGrath.
00:35:06.520
We have to do something to expose her past because the mainstream media is not doing it.
00:35:11.920
And she's trying at every turn to censor us from doing our job.
00:35:20.180
And that is, what did she hope to accomplish by calling the police?
00:35:27.480
To me, what it speaks of is a feeling of entitlement.
00:35:31.240
She's used to the media not reporting on her sordid past.
00:35:35.160
To me, it suggests she's still beholden to the idea of communism,
00:35:38.120
which tends to go hand in hand with authoritarianism,
00:35:42.100
that she can get the secret police, if you will, out,
00:35:54.960
I think that Anne McGrath thought that dialing 9-0,
00:35:58.360
that if she dialed 9-1-1, that the Stasi would pick up.
00:36:01.480
I think that she thinks that the secret police are on speed dial.
00:36:07.780
And I really think that she thought that when she flashed her,
00:36:11.760
I'm going to call the cops on you line, that I was just going to leave,
00:36:15.580
that I didn't have the commitment to follow through and make sure that she answered those questions.
00:36:20.540
Of course, she still failed to answer the majority of my questions,
00:36:23.820
but I think that she thought it was going to intimidate me away from asking questions.
00:36:33.380
if a United Conservative Party candidate called the cops on a CBC,
00:36:40.220
It's disgusting what Anne McGrath has done here to this writing,
0.95
00:36:45.140
and is going to do to this province if she gets elected.
1.00
00:36:47.340
Well, Kian, I guess in the final analysis, KGB does rhyme with NDP.
0.60
00:36:52.460
I know, that was a cheap shot, but we're going to have to wrap it there.
00:36:55.560
And Kian, thank you again for another excellent report, my friend.
00:37:05.580
More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
00:37:07.560
Basically, what this means is when stories are told truthfully with no agenda,
00:37:20.420
Think of any classic, I mean real classic movies.
00:37:23.100
How many of those movies are politically correct fad stories
0.99
00:37:26.360
in an attempt to score brownie points with the Academy?
00:37:29.740
Now, this isn't exclusive to Christopher Nolan.
00:37:31.600
There are other directors in movies that are criticized for being conservative,
00:37:36.960
But recently in Los Angeles, I attended the Dark Knight Trilogy event.
00:37:40.440
All three of the Dark Knight movies shown back to back to back
00:37:46.500
And the nearly 11-hour event was freaking awesome.
00:37:49.400
But the best part of the event was Christopher Nolan actually attended
00:37:53.840
I recorded the interview and in response to the moderator,
00:37:56.560
specifically asking if his Batman movies were influenced after 9-11.
00:37:59.760
Now, I can only assume the moderator was asking such a bizarre question
00:38:03.060
to try to explain why conservatives always praise and beloved Nolan films.
00:38:10.620
From not casting diverse enough in the historical film Dunkirk,
00:38:14.260
to Salon even saying that The Dark Knight Rises was a fascist evil film.
00:38:25.440
Gee, I thought The Dark Knight Rises was anti-fascist
00:38:29.360
given that the titular hero was going up against a villain
00:38:35.400
Then again, given the antics of the leftist loons
00:38:43.040
it is Batman, rather than Bane, who is the bad guy.
00:38:47.260
And joining me now is our Tinseltown rebel, Ben Davies,
00:38:50.540
who recently took in a marathon screening of Christopher Nolan's superb Dark Knight trilogy.
00:39:02.700
because I would have loved them being where you were last week.
00:39:07.940
we must talk about that double standard in Hollywood,
00:39:11.800
which is to say, if one is to inject a political narrative into a film,
00:39:22.060
then the likes of Salon are going to label the film as being evil.
00:39:30.160
Right. I mean, it's basically like you're getting bonus points
00:39:34.560
and they'll forego or ignore problems with the film to say,
00:39:38.180
it's okay, this film wasn't what we thought it was,
00:39:44.980
It's like it's what they tried to do that was important.
00:39:50.860
and they get doxed and hit in every possible category,
00:39:55.600
and it's something that every moviegoer should go look out for,
00:39:58.660
which is why you've got to critique kind of your own movies,
00:40:06.380
Why is it, I mean, I find it downright perverse
00:40:09.120
that a movie that has a right-of-center narrative,
00:40:15.480
something perceived by the audience to be right-of-center is labeled as evil.
00:40:22.540
I mean, that's an incredibly strong, powerful, demeaning word
00:40:32.180
How can they even make that case to begin with?
00:40:37.540
When I read that Salon review of The Dark Knight Rises,
00:40:48.380
If you believe that this is the way the world is,
00:40:53.700
this is that oppressive, heteronormative stuff going on,
00:41:01.260
And that's the thing with Christopher Nolan and his films,
00:41:03.380
specifically him, there's other directors that do this,
00:41:05.580
but I think when you try to make an honest film,
00:41:08.240
and the people behave the way normal people would,
00:41:10.640
in real situations, and their dialogue is not forced,
00:41:17.200
Then it's going to be more in line with conservative values
00:41:21.680
because it's not so much based on the ideology,
00:41:23.620
it's based on the way that you perceive the world.
00:41:30.080
he was definitely not making a political statement,
00:41:32.120
my opinion, and I did a commentary on this a few years ago,
00:41:38.280
The Dark Knight Rises is the most right-of-center film
00:41:53.300
he takes that grief and becomes a superhero out of it.
00:41:57.500
he becomes a villain and he wants to make others suffer
00:42:03.960
In a way, that's a lot of conservative ideology there.
00:42:10.200
if anyone hasn't seen this movie through that lens,
00:42:37.860
And the first movie is literally about somebody
00:42:41.260
and living for something greater than themselves,
00:42:52.720
And it's mirrored perfectly with these two characters.
00:43:19.020
and we'll give everything back to the people, you.
00:43:21.880
And it ends up in chaos, tyranny, and genocide.
00:43:27.400
of the way Nolan told this whole little trilogy.
00:43:39.260
and the Occupy movement around North America sprung up.
00:44:10.940
And then copious quantities of CGI special effects
00:44:15.020
to the point where I feel like I'm in a video game.
00:44:36.360
That's why Josh Whedon stepped away from the Avengers
00:44:40.400
and the shackles of having to put a joke on this page
00:44:43.640
you need an explosion here, that kind of thing.
00:44:55.820
Like, the Batman story is such a hero's journey tale,
00:44:59.920
and then becoming something great of themselves.
00:45:11.440
Like, the way that we interact in the world itself.
00:45:20.000
he talked about this during that seminar I went to,
00:45:23.320
trying to make these archetypal characters work
00:45:45.360
And it's the hottest ticket to get in Los Angeles.
00:48:12.780
Please don't give me any transphobia lecture here.
00:48:15.980
Not only does this woman have a functioning penis,
1.00
00:48:23.680
which is part of the typical process in transitioning.
00:48:30.720
and he undoubtedly still lusts after little girls.
00:48:37.840
And yet we're all supposed to pretend he is a she
1.00
00:48:43.060
all to save some trans snowflake from getting offended.
0.63
00:48:47.660
And we're all supposed to buy into the fact that
00:48:57.300
perhaps think Hark's was pretending to be a female?
00:49:13.240
Barely a week after being inexplicably relocated
00:49:25.060
apparently violated the terms of his parole conditions.
00:49:31.660
has been removed from the female halfway house
1.00
00:49:45.000
Thankfully, he's now back in the Crowbar Motel.
00:49:51.940
And in the event, here's what some of you had to say
00:49:54.300
about the folks at Correctional Services Canada
00:50:07.700
First off, if the crimes were committed as a male,
00:50:13.400
Secondly, now he can be declared a dangerous offender
00:50:26.180
Well, you know, you raise many good points, Jedgar.
00:50:40.460
at female halfway houses and female prisons?
1.00
00:50:46.360
Well, thanks to political correctness run amok,
00:50:56.080
about 10 minutes away from where he was placed.
