00:01:47.140 in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favourite rebels.

00:01:52.480 I'm your host, David Menzies.

00:01:55.020 So, Omar Khadar is many things. 0.96

00:01:58.320 He's a terrorist, a murderer, and even a multi-millionaire, thanks to the Trudeau Liberals. 0.86

00:02:03.080 But how in the world did Google somehow hail Khadar as a Canadian soldier? 0.99

00:02:08.720 And why was Gerald Butts yet again going to bat for Omar?

00:02:13.660 Ezra Levent will try to make sense of it all.

00:02:16.820 There's an odious double standard in Canada when it comes to oil.

00:02:19.980 Namely, the stuff coming out of the ground in Alberta must be subjected to a gender-based analysis. 0.98

00:02:26.680 Meanwhile, crude from that enlightened realm called Saudi Arabia, well, that receives a pass. 0.58

00:02:33.880 Sheila Gunn-Reed will attempt to piece things together.

00:02:36.360 And Jack Buckby will drop by to give us the very latest on Brexit, a.k.a. the never-ending story.

00:02:44.240 And finally, we get your letters.

00:02:46.060 We get them every minute of every day.

00:02:48.200 And I'll share some of the letters we received regarding my commentary

00:02:51.640 about the City of Toronto banning tobogganing on one of the city's best hills

00:02:57.100 because the hill in question is, um, too hilly?

00:03:01.720 Those are your rebels.

00:03:02.960 Now let's round them up.

00:03:06.360 Check out this.

00:03:13.480 Gerald Butts, Justin Trudeau's principal secretary.

00:03:16.380 He took time away from everything else he's doing these days.

00:03:20.040 Pushed aside everything less important to weigh in on this matter.

00:03:23.220 Not once, not twice, not three times, but four times.

00:03:26.740 I mean, look, we've got the Chinese dictatorship taking our citizens hostage. 1.00

00:03:31.180 We've got an industrial crisis in Alberta.

00:03:33.320 We have a thousand real things this government needs to do, and it's failing at so many of them.

00:03:38.360 But Gerald Butts makes this the biggest issue of his day, and he clears aside hours for it.

00:03:43.680 Yes, he did.

00:03:44.720 He wrote this.

00:03:47.880 He said, Google searches are personally optimized, not news.

00:03:54.200 When I search for Canadian soldiers, I get Canadian soldiers and Prime Minister Pearson.

00:03:59.680 Andrew Scheer gets Omar Khadr.

00:04:01.520 This IT problem is between the chair and the keyboard.

00:04:05.220 Oh, that's so clever.

00:04:07.120 But, um, first of all, even if Butts was right, so what?

00:04:13.340 So what?

00:04:13.680 Why would Omar Khadr show up on a list?

00:04:18.120 But he's not right, actually.

00:04:20.020 Here's that same public boss of Google search, and he says,

00:04:24.180 personalization of results is, of our results is minimal as covered below.

00:04:31.780 And he links to a detailed answer.

00:04:33.900 Personalization wasn't involved here.

00:04:36.380 This was present for anyone doing the search,

00:04:38.760 though exact position may have changed as our results can be very dynamic.

00:04:43.680 So that's Google's search expert.

00:04:46.900 But Gerald Butts kept at this.

00:04:49.260 He retweeted this guy.

00:04:52.220 This guy who said,

00:04:54.380 when I say taking lessons from the alt-right,

00:04:57.000 I really, I mean that literally,

00:04:59.540 Meta Canada is the heart of the Canadian alt-right movement on Reddit.

00:05:03.020 This post was done four hours before Andrew Scheer's tweet.

00:05:05.720 There's no beating around the bush on this one.

00:05:08.900 So some guy, I don't know who,

00:05:10.640 claims that an anonymous post earlier than on the day in some online billboard.

00:05:18.440 One of thousands of Canadians who were upset by this Khadr story.

00:05:22.600 This guy named John Wiseman, this nobody,

00:05:24.900 found an anonymous site, literally a nobody,

00:05:27.620 that was upset about the Khadr thing too.

00:05:30.280 John Wiseman says they're alt-right,

00:05:31.920 says that's why Scheer was mad about this,

00:05:36.580 and therefore it's bad or something.

00:05:39.040 It's not bad that Omar Khadr is listed as a soldier.

00:05:42.400 Gerald Butts didn't think that was bad.

00:05:43.780 He thought it was bad that Andrew Scheer was mentioning it.

00:05:45.900 I mean, this isn't even guilt by association here.

00:05:49.140 That's a full-blown conspiracy theory.

00:05:50.640 You see, Andrew Scheer read an anonymous thing,

00:05:53.760 and it's just so weird.

00:05:55.220 And it still evades the question,

00:05:56.840 why is Gerald Butts, Justin Trudeau's principal secretary,

00:05:59.900 why is he defending Google's error

00:06:03.140 to list Omar Khadr, the al-Qaeda terrorist,

00:06:06.420 as a legit Canadian soldier?

00:06:07.760 Well, what a bizarre story,

00:06:09.360 equal parts egregious and downright offensive.

00:06:12.760 Earlier this week,

00:06:13.740 if you were to Google the words Canadian and soldier,

00:06:17.140 one of the war heroes that would have popped up

00:06:19.520 was convicted terrorist Omar Khadr.

00:06:21.880 Yeah, someone who killed and maimed soldiers allied to Canada

00:06:25.860 was being depicted as a veteran?

00:06:29.220 Thankfully, Google corrected this nauseating error,

00:06:32.620 after the ensuing outrage, of course.

00:06:34.560 But how weird, how crazy is it

00:06:37.260 that Justin Trudeau's Fengali secretary, Gerald Butts,

00:06:41.580 tried to make the case that Google proclaiming Omar Khadr

00:06:44.980 as a Canadian soldier actually made sense,

00:06:47.780 even though Google itself said it was a complete screw-up.

00:06:51.960 Joining me now with more on this baffling story

00:06:54.280 is our very own rebel commander, Ezra Levitt.

00:06:56.460 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, Ezra.

00:06:58.040 Thanks very much.

00:06:58.840 You know, Ezra, let's cut to the chase, first and foremost.

00:07:02.440 What is the obsession with this federal liberal government

00:07:06.220 with Omar Khadr in the first place?

00:07:08.880 Well, there's a few things.

00:07:10.160 I mean, Justin Trudeau is an Islamophile.

00:07:12.740 Well, it's part of his father's tradition of third worldism, alienism,

00:07:19.500 loving the other more than you love yourself.

00:07:22.260 And during the Cold War,

00:07:24.120 the great challenger to Western civilization was the Soviet Union. 0.98

00:07:27.300 So, Pierre Trudeau loved Castro, loved China, loved the Soviet Union,

00:07:34.520 took his family to Russia, took them to Siberia and said,

00:07:37.220 this is the future.

00:07:37.980 So, Pierre Trudeau was always enamored with the third world.

00:07:41.960 Well, the Soviet Union, the empire has fallen, 0.75

00:07:44.880 and now the great challenge to Western culture and civilization is Islamism. 0.93

00:07:49.360 So, Justin Trudeau is enthralled by it.

00:07:54.340 And yet, Ezra, if I can just interject,

00:07:56.400 Islamism represents the polar opposite of liberal values. 1.00

00:08:02.120 I can't make the connection.

00:08:03.860 Well, same thing with China.

00:08:04.920 I mean, Trudeau actually said the country he most admires other than Canada is China.

00:08:08.960 And then he specifically said for its basic dictatorship.

00:08:12.920 He used those words, basic dictatorship.

00:08:14.460 I admire China, too.

00:08:15.640 I've had the pleasure of visiting there.

00:08:16.900 I like the food.

00:08:18.160 I find the people interesting.

00:08:19.520 And frankly, sometimes inspiring.

00:08:21.740 I think that history is fascinating.

00:08:23.240 The architecture.

00:08:24.140 There's a lot of things to like about China.

00:08:27.040 But the one thing you can't like about China is its basic dictatorship.

00:08:30.180 That's the only thing Trudeau mentioned.

00:08:31.960 So, this goes to his alienism.

00:08:34.520 He supports everyone against himself, everyone against Canada. 0.70

00:08:38.280 And so, he sees in Omar Khadr not only an Islamic terrorist, an Al-Qaeda war criminal,

00:08:44.380 but an opportunity for him to say, oh, what have we done wrong to him?

00:08:50.840 We are so abusive.

00:08:52.280 We're the Islamophobes for putting him in Guantanamo Bay.

00:08:55.460 We abused his charter rights.

00:08:56.860 He is a symbol for us to repent the war on terror and not only to bring Canada down morally, but to pull Al-Qaeda up morally. 0.58

00:09:06.820 And he's also surrounded by people who feel that same way.

00:09:11.060 The media elites, political elites, the legal elites, the judicial elites, diplomatic elites.

00:09:16.620 All the fancy people thought that Omar Khadr was the bee's knees and that when Trudeau gave him $10.5 million, it would be a huge hit.

00:09:23.820 They were shocked to see that the vast majority of Canadians oppose it.

00:09:27.840 I remember an Angus Reid poll showed every single group of Canadians, including liberals, were appalled by it.

00:09:34.560 I think Trudeau is in such an insulated little box that he actually thinks Khadr is some sort of a hero.

00:09:41.160 And you know what I think?

00:09:43.000 I think, I mean, Gerald Butts didn't have the courage to say it this week, but I think what he was motivated by,

00:09:51.880 Gerald Butts would say, and it's factually not true and legally not true,

00:09:56.140 he would say, and I'm mind reading here, that Omar Khadr deserved to be on the list of Canadian soldiers because he was a child soldier.

00:10:06.420 Yes.

00:10:07.120 That's the connection in, I think, of course, he wasn't a child soldier.

00:10:11.360 Correct.

00:10:11.500 He wasn't a child.

00:10:12.580 He was a few weeks shy of his 16th birthday.

00:10:14.680 The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child say a child soldier is 13 or less.

00:10:19.880 He was mature and knew what he was doing.

00:10:21.800 He had the choice to leave the compound with the women and children before the final battle where he was captured.

00:10:28.080 He chose to stay with the men to fight.

00:10:30.700 He was not a soldier.

00:10:32.060 The Geneva Conventions define a soldier, someone who bears their arms openly,

00:10:35.500 someone who wears their uniform and their insignia,

00:10:38.860 someone who generally follows the laws and customs of war.

00:10:42.260 Khadr was zero for three.

00:10:44.100 Khadr is not a soldier, is not a child, is not a child soldier. 0.99

00:10:47.640 He's a terrorist. 0.91

00:10:50.860 The category in law for him is hostess humani, an enemy of all humanity. 0.96

00:10:56.460 And like a pirate, he has no rights under law. 0.96

00:11:00.640 He could literally be killed in the field and you can kill a terrorist. 0.87

00:11:05.580 It would be like killing someone attacking you in your home.

00:11:07.380 You have self-defense.

00:11:08.040 In the mind of Gerald Butz, and therefore the mind of Justin Trudeau,

00:11:14.480 not only was Omar Khadr a child soldier, but he was the victim.

00:11:19.240 I did a little search in Gerald Butz's Twitter history.

00:11:22.540 He tweets thousands of times.

00:11:24.200 He has tweeted about Omar Khadr favorably at least 10 times.

00:11:28.180 He has never once tweeted the word spear, S-P-E-E-R,

00:11:32.040 which is the name of the U.S. Army medic murdered by Omar Khadr.

00:11:35.700 The reason why Gerald Butz never utters the word spear,

00:11:39.080 Christopher Spear, his widow, Tabitha Spear,

00:11:42.480 the two fatherless children, Taryn and Tanner Spear,

00:11:46.540 the other special forces soldier who lost his eye, Lane Morris.

00:11:50.900 I know these names because I've talked to several of them.

00:11:54.480 I've written a book about them.

00:11:57.240 That's why I know them.

00:11:58.520 And we raised 200 grand for the Spear Kids.

00:12:02.040 Yeah, for the Spear Kids.

00:12:02.840 Actually, we did that here at the Rebel.

00:12:04.120 Oh, pardon me.

00:12:06.300 But I care about them because I know they're the victims.

00:12:10.700 The reason why Gerald Butz never mentions the Spears,

00:12:13.740 because if you remind people that there was a real victim,

00:12:17.500 then you can't say that Khadr was the victim.

00:12:20.820 And that is why Gerald Butz and the rest of the media

00:12:27.320 refuse to name Khadr's victims because they call him the victim.

00:12:32.740 Now, Ezra, if we can just look at how this Googling incident occurred in the first place.

00:12:39.360 I mean, look, I'm not a search engine expert.

00:12:42.300 I mean, I find the Internet and computerization, to me, with my knowledge base,

00:12:47.340 it's akin to black magic, right?

00:12:48.840 And so you put in Canadian and soldier.

00:12:53.120 And when I first heard about this, I thought it was a joke.

00:12:56.080 I thought it was a conspiracy theory.

00:12:58.620 And sure enough, every time I Googled it, Omar Khadr's name and image was coming up.

00:13:05.360 And the more I Googled it, the closer to the front of the list he was coming up.

00:13:10.700 I was absolutely astonished.

00:13:12.960 What I'm trying to find out, Ezra, is that when it comes to the proverbial ghost in the machine,

00:13:18.840 how did this atrocity happen in the first place?

00:13:23.160 Right.

00:13:23.620 Well, a Google search executive, I think his name is Danny Sullivan,

00:13:27.420 weighed in.

00:13:28.240 And he's a senior guy in the States.

00:13:29.940 And all he does is answer questions for the public about search.

00:13:33.340 Now, we don't know if he's telling the truth,

00:13:34.580 because unlike a government agency, there's no disclosure,

00:13:37.340 there's no access to information.

00:13:38.440 So he works for Google, which means I'm sure on occasion he lies for Google

00:13:45.140 because that's sort of his job is to defend Google.

00:13:50.140 He's like a lawyer for someone.

00:13:52.400 But he said that this was a computer-generated algorithmic decision.

00:13:59.760 And because they fixed it almost immediately,

00:14:02.940 I tend to think that this wasn't their political hill to die on.

00:14:06.160 I originally was quite convinced that this was a political choice made by Google.

00:14:11.260 But when I read the explanation and I saw how quickly Google changed it,

00:14:14.780 and that it was an American who basically said,

00:14:16.540 oh, yeah, our mistake will fix it, that he didn't seem fussed by it,

00:14:19.980 I think, well, maybe he's telling the truth.

00:14:21.840 Maybe this just was some computer error.

00:14:23.940 But to me, so, I mean, I don't believe Google, Facebook, Twitter,

00:14:27.960 on most political things because they're all hard left-wing.

00:14:30.580 I actually think, though, that this probably was some machine decision that was wrong.

00:14:37.960 But it doesn't matter, David.

00:14:40.580 It doesn't matter because, okay, this isn't about Google.

00:14:43.320 We know Google's political.

00:14:44.780 We know their senior vice president, Eric Schmidt,

00:14:48.000 was a volunteer on Hillary Clinton's campaign.

00:14:50.260 He was there on election night at her victory party that turned into a defeat party.

00:14:55.520 We know Google's in the tank.

00:14:57.000 We know they had a staff-wide sort of crying staff meeting on the Friday after the election.

00:15:03.240 The video of that staff meeting was released

00:15:05.160 where senior executives were all in a room basically crying for Hillary Clinton.

00:15:08.460 So we know that.

00:15:09.860 The story here is not about Google.

00:15:12.660 The story is about the fact that Justin Trudeau's principal secretary, Gerald Butts,

00:15:16.280 not once, not twice, not three times, but four times,

00:15:20.540 cleared everything less important from his desk

00:15:22.300 and weighed in in a manner that suggested he wanted Omar Khadr to remain on that list.

00:15:30.200 So it doesn't matter why he was on the list.

00:15:33.180 Was it a glitch or was it on purpose?

00:15:35.680 Because that's not what Gerald Butts wanted.

00:15:40.120 His four interventions suggested he wanted Omar Khadr.

00:15:44.740 He was furious that Andrew Scheer wanted Omar Khadr off that list.

00:15:48.180 He accused, he implied, that anyone who wanted Omar Khadr off that list was alt-right.

00:15:53.540 He alt-implied that.

00:15:54.720 Right.

00:15:56.200 First of all, what is the prime minister's principal secretary even doing,

00:15:59.140 wasting half a day on this?

00:16:00.280 Yes.

00:16:00.580 Second of all, why is he throwing in with Omar Khadr?

00:16:03.260 Third of all, why is he perpetuating the fake news that Omar Khadr was a soldier?

00:16:07.220 Fourth of all, you've got hostages in China.

00:16:10.080 You've got a pipeline crisis.

00:16:11.340 And this is the most important thing.

00:16:13.960 It shows, to get back to your first question, what's going on here?

00:16:18.740 Trudeau himself, I think, is a bit of an empty vessel.

00:16:21.200 Whenever he has an idea, it's just a child's memory of what his father said.

00:16:25.460 But Gerald Butts, the true ideologue, who really is the de facto prime minister,

00:16:28.900 and that's not my characterization,

00:16:33.260 caucus say, you know, Justin Trudeau told caucus in one of their first meetings in 2015,

00:16:38.400 if you get a letter from Gerald Butts, treat it as if it comes from me.

00:16:43.460 Wow.

00:16:43.960 So Justin Trudeau told all his MPs, if Gerald Butts says something, take it as if it's from me.

00:16:49.420 So we have a de facto prime minister named Gerald Butts, who's obsessed with Omar Khadr,

00:16:54.080 obsessed with Muslim migration, obsessed with hijabs, obsessed with Islamification.

00:16:59.720 Trudeau is too. 0.66

00:17:00.860 Yeah.

00:17:01.060 But Gerald Butts is the actual decider, and he's crazy on this stuff.

00:17:05.420 But Ezra, here's the part I really don't get.

00:17:08.000 When you look at the time frame in which the Trudeau liberals cut that $10.5 million check to Omar Khadr,

00:17:15.040 it was a couple of years ago.

00:17:16.300 They moved that lightning speed.

00:17:18.060 Yeah.

00:17:18.960 And I kind of get it.

00:17:20.920 This is something they wanted to do, but probably realized deep down,

00:17:24.340 it's going to rub a lot of Canadians the wrong way, which they were right about, 1.00

00:17:27.700 or maybe they were naive and they didn't think it was going to happen.

00:17:30.200 But nevertheless, you do the unpopular stuff early on in the mandate so that by the time

00:17:35.440 October 2019 comes along, Canadians have forgotten, you know, this kind of a thing.

00:17:41.700 The idea that Gerald Butts would, I mean, surely, you can say what you will about the man,

00:17:47.300 but he's surely a savvy politician.

00:17:49.620 The idea that he would resurrect this person's name, who I would argue is deeply,

00:17:58.820 most Canadians resent Omar Khadr and resent how this government has treated him,

00:18:04.420 so close to the next federal election, to me, that seems almost self-defeating, Ezra.

00:18:09.780 Well, I mean, these guys are true believers.

00:18:11.680 Gerald Butts is a true believer.

00:18:13.320 He was an extremist environmentalist.

00:18:15.840 He's an extremist on open borders migration.

00:18:18.300 He really is an ideologue.

00:18:19.940 Trudeau, I think, is more of an empty suit, but Gerald Butts is.

00:18:24.040 And I saw other liberals weigh in on it, too.

00:18:25.700 The husband of Katie Telford, the chief of staff to Trudeau, his name is Rob Silver.

00:18:29.980 He was weighing in on this, too.

00:18:31.080 I thought, these guys have got to know.

00:18:34.760 I mean, they've seen the polling, just as I have.

00:18:36.760 Angus Reid is the poll I refer to.

00:18:39.580 They know that, but they just love him too much.

00:18:41.940 They love Omar Khadr too much, and they love the narrative. 0.99

00:18:46.100 Muslim terrorists aren't really bad. 1.00

00:18:47.760 They were forced into it, maybe. 1.00

00:18:51.300 Muslim terrorists can be redeemed. 1.00

00:18:53.820 If you don't think so, you're an Islamophob. 0.98

00:18:55.720 They love that narrative more than they love the truth that Omar Khadr is an unrepentant,

00:19:00.400 confessed, convicted, war criminal, convicted of five counts, including murder and terrorism.

00:19:05.680 And he has never recanted.

00:19:09.220 He has never disavowed the jihad. 0.88

00:19:12.420 He has never disavowed his father's role.

00:19:15.120 He has never disavowed his sister, who is an Islamic extremist.

00:19:19.360 In fact, he wanted to go to Saudi Arabia to meet up with her.

00:19:22.060 Well, that's a good idea.

00:19:23.860 To my surprise, a court in Alberta said, yeah, no, we're not letting you go to Saudi Arabia for now.

00:19:30.700 So I hope that Omar Khadr becomes an election issue in 2019.

00:19:34.880 I think amongst grassroots Canadians it will be.

00:19:37.000 But I can assure you, in the media party, it won't.

00:19:39.800 Let me close with one quick fact on this.

00:19:41.500 We have a new reporter in Calgary, as you know, Kian Bexte.

00:19:43.820 He's his name, a young guy.

00:19:44.740 He's doing great.

00:19:45.980 And he went up to Edmonton for this bail hearing as to whether or not Khadr could go to Saudi Arabia.

00:19:51.360 Imagine letting a convicted al-Qaeda terrorist go to Saudi Arabia.

00:19:54.960 Would Saudi Arabia even allow him?

00:19:57.080 I don't think they would, by the way.

00:19:58.820 Good question.

00:19:59.200 And what airline would take him, by the way?

00:20:01.280 I mean, let me know so I skip that airline.

00:20:05.760 But so Kian went to this press conference with Omar Khadr right there and Khadr's lawyer.

00:20:10.760 And Kian asked a question, and I don't remember the exact wording in it,

00:20:13.080 but in it he said, a terrorist.

00:20:15.960 And the look of shock and surprise on the face of the lawyer,

00:20:19.920 and you can see the clip, we have it on our website,

00:20:21.900 and Khadr was standing right behind and he smirked.

00:20:24.260 Oh, yes.

00:20:24.820 So Khadr was smiling.

00:20:26.360 The lawyer was shocked because in all the years that Khadr's lawyers have been doing press conferences

00:20:31.200 with Canadian media about Omar Khadr, no one has ever called Omar Khadr a terrorist.

00:20:39.480 It was the first time.

00:20:41.120 And this lawyer, Nate, I forget his last name, said to Khadr, who are you with?

00:20:45.720 And Khadr said, the rebel.

00:20:46.800 And the lawyer said, oh, yeah, that's right.

00:20:49.860 Because they, we are, and I took that as an enormous compliment.

00:20:53.440 We are the only media in Canada who will call Omar Khadr a terrorist to his face.

00:20:59.440 And after that, by the way, Khadr followed Omar Khadr and said, where's the money?

00:21:03.420 Did you stash it overseas?

00:21:04.800 That's a great question, by the way.

00:21:06.400 Because he's hiding the money from the family who have sued and won a judgment against Khadr.

00:21:12.160 Justin Trudeau worked with Omar Khadr's lawyers to hide the money in a way that the grieving widow could not get access to it.

00:21:19.300 Where is that money?

00:21:20.320 Is it in Canada?

00:21:21.600 Is it in Saudi Arabia?

00:21:23.180 Is it in, I don't know, with his old friends back in Al-Qaeda?

00:21:27.860 And who is he going to meet with in Saudi Arabia?

00:21:30.300 And is he going to meet up with his money?

00:21:31.420 Is he going to spread some of the wealth around to all his friends that he made in Guantanamo Bay?

00:21:34.960 These are real questions that only the rebel would ever ask.

00:21:37.420 Well, Ezra, I hope in the months and years ahead, the Speer family is indeed successful in separating Omar Khadr from our money.

00:21:46.040 Thank you so much.

00:21:46.820 It was a great commentary, as always.

00:21:48.300 And there you have it, folks.

00:21:49.780 Googling soldier in Canada, you get Omar Khadr.

00:21:52.740 I think I'm going to Google peace-loving feminist and see if, oh, I don't know, Paul Bernardo's image pops up.

00:21:59.800 Just an absolutely bizarre story.

00:22:01.980 Keep it here.

00:22:02.540 More of Rebel Run up to come right after this.

00:22:07.420 So, Conservative MP Rachel Harder used her order paper question to ask the government this.

00:22:19.240 With regard to the government's policy to allow oil imports from Venezuela and Saudi Arabia,

00:22:26.600 has a gender-based analysis been conducted on the importation of oil from Venezuela and Saudi Arabia?

00:22:34.120 And if so, what were the findings of the analysis?

00:22:37.420 Natural Resources Minister Amarjeet Sohi replied,

00:22:41.260 Gender-based analysis plus plays an important role in government domestic regulatory program

00:22:49.200 and policy development.

00:22:50.680 Decisions on where to import crude oil from are private sector commercial decisions.

00:22:56.480 And as such, federal gender-based analysis plus analyses are not conducted on crude oil imports.

00:23:03.560 Then, so he goes on to say,

00:23:05.400 However, many companies do conduct their own gender-based analysis.

00:23:11.440 No, companies aren't doing their own gender-based analysis when the government fails to do one,

00:23:18.700 especially not Canada's largest oil refinery, the Irving Oil Refinery in New Brunswick.

00:23:25.000 Now, according to the National Energy Board,

00:23:28.780 New Brunswick has the most, quote-unquote, diverse crude slate.

00:23:33.140 In 2017, Saudi Arabia accounted for almost 40% of New Brunswick's crude oil imports,

00:23:39.140 followed by Azerbaijan, the United Kingdom, the US, and Nigeria.

00:23:43.340 Now, I've been told by the government and the media that this liberal government is a feminist one 1.00

00:23:49.200 because of, I don't know, something to do with the current calendar year.

00:23:54.380 But here, you can see, there's a hell of a lot of oil coming into this country

00:23:59.060 that is getting away with literal murder. 0.99

00:24:02.600 Stoning women, hanging gays, keeping slaves, 1.00

00:24:06.600 denying women the franchise or the ability to leave their house without a male chaperone. 0.99

00:24:11.600 You know, the current year, Saudi Arabia sort of stuff.

00:24:16.080 So, is that clear, folks?

00:24:18.720 Alberta oil is put through some nonsensical gender-based analysis to,

00:24:25.100 oh, I don't know, make sure there's gender equality happening in Wild Rose Country. 1.00

00:24:30.640 Meanwhile, oil imported from such enlightened regimes such as Saudi Arabia,

00:24:35.920 well, they're exempt from gender-based analysis because, look, they just are, okay?

00:24:43.620 And with more on this story of grotesque double standards is the host of The Gun Show,

00:24:49.960 Sheila Gunn-Reed.

00:24:50.820 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, my friend.

00:24:53.000 Hey, David.

00:24:53.480 Thanks for having me on.

00:24:54.520 Always, always a pleasure.

00:24:55.700 So, Sheila, this gender-based analysis has now gone beyond parody.

00:25:01.080 In fact, it's yet another slap in the face, I think, to Albertans,

00:25:05.660 courtesy of Justin Trudeau yet again.

00:25:07.820 So, Sheila, why is there such a double standard to begin with in the first place?

00:25:13.300 Well, I think it's because the Liberals have really weaponized feminism to their own gain. 1.00

00:25:20.440 The MP who brought this order paper question forward is Rachel Harder.

00:25:26.020 She's been a victim of the Liberals' brand of feminism herself. 1.00

00:25:29.100 You'll recall she was denied her seat on the Status of Women Committee because the Liberals

00:25:35.940 were outraged because she happens to may or may not be pro-life.

00:25:40.500 We don't even know if she is or if she isn't.

00:25:42.680 But the Liberals suspected her of being a pro-life woman, so she couldn't even sit on the Status 1.00

00:25:46.960 of Women Committee when being pro-life reflects about 50% of women out there.

00:25:52.180 But the Liberals used their feminism to deny her a seat at the table. 1.00

00:25:58.340 And it seems to me that the Liberals are also weaponizing feminism against Alberta to block

00:26:04.960 our oil and gas development.

00:26:06.540 Because I really do believe, based on the people that Justin Trudeau has surrounded himself

00:26:11.280 with, that he really doesn't want these pipelines to go forward.

00:26:14.000 He wants the appearance that he's fighting for Alberta oil and gas.

00:26:18.300 But when you surround yourself with people like Gerald Butt and Zoe Caron, that cannot be

00:26:24.820 the case.

00:26:25.340 And so they're using this gender-based analysis stuff to deter investment and just add that

00:26:31.860 extra layer of ridiculous hoops that these companies have to jump through to do business

00:26:36.560 here in Canada.

00:26:37.520 You know, it's just shocking, Sheila, in the fact that gender-based analysis aside, business

00:26:45.080 is there to make money.

00:26:47.660 And by that precept, they are going to hire the best people for the jobs that they're providing

00:26:54.080 because to do otherwise is self-defeating.

00:26:57.740 So, you know, this whole idea that there's some government means test to make sure that,

00:27:04.420 you know, and I mean, I don't even understand it, that there's enough women working in the 1.00

00:27:08.920 oil patch.

00:27:10.260 It's ludicrous, especially since, let's face it, Sheila, I mean, that is a male-dominated 1.00

00:27:15.680 role.

00:27:16.500 And it's not due to discrimination.

00:27:18.620 It's because so many women I've talked to just don't want to do that job. 1.00

00:27:23.740 It's really not pleasant sometimes doing that work, isn't it?

00:27:29.180 Well, yeah, I mean, that's really the thing here.

00:27:31.740 This gender-based analysis baloney really negates the fact that there are jobs that men gravitate

00:27:36.920 to and jobs that women gravitate to. 1.00

00:27:39.420 And that's OK.

00:27:40.480 There's nobody in the oil patch saying, we're not going to hire you because you're a woman. 1.00

00:27:44.660 There are people in the oil patch that will say, we're not going to hire you because you

00:27:49.840 might not have the experience or the skill set.

00:27:52.620 But gender really never comes into it. 1.00

00:27:55.000 In fact, I would suggest that if you cared about a woman's right to choose how she determines 0.94

00:27:59.060 her life, the oil patch is a great help in that.

00:28:02.720 Because for women like me, whose husbands work in the oil patch, the income that the oil 1.00

00:28:09.000 patch provides gives us the ability to choose whether we go off to work or whether we stay

00:28:13.560 home and raise our kids.

00:28:14.660 That's up to us.

00:28:16.540 And when the liberals, you know, throw up these roadblocks to the oil patch, it really robs

00:28:22.720 women like me of the ability to structure our family life however we feel like. 1.00

00:28:28.420 And, you know, it was so funny because Amarjeet Sohi, the natural resources minister, concluded

00:28:33.960 his reply to Rachel Harder's order paper question by saying something like, yeah, we're not doing

00:28:39.940 gender-based analysis on oil imports.

00:28:42.420 But rest assured, the companies out there, the private sector companies are, give me

00:28:48.420 a break.

00:28:49.660 It's expensive. 0.99

00:28:50.840 It's garbage. 0.99

00:28:52.040 The economy is tough out there. 0.98

00:28:54.780 And I can't foresee any company adding this extra layer of regulation to themselves if it

00:29:01.560 weren't mandated upon them.

00:29:02.780 And we know that the Irving Oil Refinery, Canada's largest refinery, they aren't doing

00:29:07.980 that.

00:29:08.260 They're still importing 40% of their oil from Saudi Arabia, a place where you, as a woman,

00:29:13.900 can't vote, can't drive, can't go outside without a male escort.

00:29:17.520 Yeah.

00:29:17.700 A male escort.

00:29:18.300 I don't, hang on, let me clarify.

00:29:20.440 A male chaperone.

00:29:21.920 That's right.

00:29:23.520 And that's the thing.

00:29:25.200 That is a ludicrous lie that companies would be, you know, internalizing this kind of gender-based

00:29:31.300 analysis.

00:29:31.680 And then, and to your point, Sheila, of Saudi Arabia, a company that the Trudeau liberals

00:29:37.580 say, well, we're exempting from this means test.

00:29:40.500 This is a country where you have state-sanctioned discrimination against women. 1.00

00:29:48.640 And, you know, I mean, it's perverse.

00:29:50.320 If I were a woman, I would say that Saudi Arabia is in the top five or top 10 countries where

00:29:56.840 I would hate to live because of the infringements on my liberties.

00:30:01.200 So how can this feminist prime minister, this feminist liberal party, give a regime like 1.00

00:30:06.940 that a pass?

00:30:07.780 Well, Justin Trudeau's brand of feminism is really first world female grievance mongering 1.00

00:30:15.060 and the male support thereof.

00:30:18.900 When you look at the sort of things that he supports, you know, he'll support reproductive

00:30:24.440 rights in the developing world.

00:30:27.000 But that doesn't mean maternal health.

00:30:29.320 It doesn't mean neonatal health.

00:30:30.840 It doesn't mean access to proper sanitation in hospitals to keep moms and babies alive. 0.99

00:30:35.920 It means funding abortions in the developing world, which, as we know, oftentimes ends up

00:30:42.560 being sex-selective abortions.

00:30:44.420 So this is just, you know, feel-goodery, really, on behalf of the liberals, reaching out to get

00:30:52.160 support from women who really don't care about the oil patch.

00:30:55.480 Largely, you know, SJW do-gooders who see everything through a gendered lens. 1.00

00:31:04.560 But really, it abandons the true meaning of women's equality.

00:31:09.080 You know, it is shocking.

00:31:10.440 You know, and Sheila, I was just thinking about something, and I don't know if this has ever

00:31:13.940 been done, but what a great little social experiment this would be, which would be to have gas stations

00:31:19.260 across Canada do a test where one pump, it's labeled as Canadian gas, and the next pump to

00:31:27.860 it is Saudi Arabian gas.

00:31:30.580 And everything is equal.

00:31:32.180 87 octane, it's $1 a liter.

00:31:34.840 And I bet you the vast majority of people that needed to fill their tank that day would be

00:31:41.520 avoiding the Saudi product and going with the Alberta product.

00:31:46.500 What do you have to say about that?

00:31:49.220 I would love to see that done, because I truly believe even Canadians who, like us Albertans,

00:31:55.740 we see as sort of not allies in our fight to get our oil to market like those in Quebec.

00:32:00.740 I even think that they, if they knew, if they truly had, if we truly had an education program

00:32:06.580 saying, this is what you're putting in your pump, this is fair trade Canadian oil, and

00:32:12.000 this is Saudi tyrant oil, I think people would always choose the Canadian oil.

00:32:16.880 You know what it reminds me of?

00:32:17.780 It reminds me of the stickers that we put on packs of cigarettes.

00:32:23.120 If we put those stickers of what the Saudis do to women and gays and foreign indentures, 1.00

00:32:30.740 servants, we'd never put a drop of that in our tanks.

00:32:34.720 Incredible.

00:32:35.300 We'll have to wrap it here, Sheila, but it's just so perversely ironic that Canada, which 0.85

00:32:39.500 produces ethical oil, is the country that is subjected to these ludicrous virtue signaling

00:32:47.920 means testing that means nothing, whereas the worst of the worst get a pass.

00:32:53.300 Boy, the Trudeau Liberals at their finest, I would say.

00:32:57.900 Sheila, thank you so much for that commentary.

00:32:59.640 Great work as usual.

00:33:01.200 Thanks, David.

00:33:01.780 Have a good weekend.

00:33:02.580 You got it.

00:33:03.460 And folks, keep it here.

00:33:04.280 More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.

00:33:13.660 So what do you make of this idea that martial law might be implemented as a result of no-deal

00:33:17.820 Brexit?

00:33:19.380 Well, it's nice that the government are taking the leave campaign seriously.

00:33:26.160 You know, what can I say?

00:33:27.300 And let's hope it doesn't descend into that.

00:33:29.100 But unless this lot over here in the Palace of Westminster take the vote seriously, take

00:33:33.360 what the people said on June the 23rd, 2016 seriously, anything can happen.

00:33:38.120 I think it's really project fair.

00:33:40.260 I think if they don't do Brexit, then they ought to maybe have to have martial law then.

00:33:45.460 I think there'll be a bigger reaction then, actually, rather than the no-deal.

00:33:48.880 No-deal won't be a problem.

00:33:50.300 We'll go WTO.

00:33:51.500 We'll be fine.

00:33:52.460 We'll be fine.

00:33:52.980 Yeah, scaremongering.

00:33:55.160 Don't believe a word of it.

00:33:55.980 I don't see the point of that because unless martial law, unless you've got a whole violent

00:34:02.740 revolution that needs to be repressed, then no problem.

00:34:07.660 English people generally are fairly quiet, fairly, you know, they may protest, they may

00:34:13.580 stand up and say a few things.

00:34:15.540 But I can't see English people generally taking, picking up a sword or a shotgun or something

00:34:21.500 like that and advancing on Westminster to protest in that way.

00:34:27.560 I think it's a lot of sophistry and drama and theatre on the part of Mrs. Theresa May.

00:34:35.300 But I think that the moves in France now have made some traitorous politicians rather nervous

00:34:42.620 and they should be.

00:34:44.360 We, the people, are sovereign.

00:34:46.480 We voted to leave and we wish to leave now.

00:34:50.220 Do you think maybe it's a last-ditch attempt by the government to try and scare people into

00:34:54.440 supporting their deal?

00:34:56.400 I think, well, I don't know if it's the last one.

00:34:58.500 They'll certainly be revving it up.

00:35:00.080 Yeah, I think they'll rev it up right until the last minute, actually.

00:35:02.740 But I feel confident we're fine.

00:35:05.640 We'll be absolutely fine as a nation.

00:35:07.820 And we'll do lots of things with Europe, I hope, and do a deal once we've left.

00:35:11.560 And we'll be in a better negotiating position then as well.

00:35:14.680 Well, talk about a production that's been years in the making.

00:35:18.280 Brexit is apparently turning into the never-ending story.

00:35:22.120 And one of the newest twists is the possibility of martial law being implemented in the UK

00:35:28.380 if Parliament passes a no-deal Brexit.

00:35:32.120 Who knew Brits were about to riot in the streets?

00:35:37.120 And joining me now is our London-based rebel, Jack Buckby.

00:35:40.180 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, Jack.

00:35:42.200 Hi, David.

00:35:42.820 Thanks for having me on.

00:35:43.620 Always a pleasure, my friend.

00:35:44.740 Now, tell me, those people you interviewed in your segment, Jack,

00:35:48.420 they didn't seem to me to be the sort that would, oh, I don't know, overturn cars and smash windows.

00:35:54.900 So what's the deal with this idea of martial law potentially being implemented?

00:36:02.340 So this idea of martial law being implemented, it came about as a result of Whitehall officials,

00:36:08.900 that's government officials, the background workers who aren't political.

00:36:11.700 They just get the stuff done.

00:36:13.480 It came out that Whitehall officials were talking about it as a possibility.

00:36:17.120 But this was no accident.

00:36:18.680 Of course, the government wanted this information to get out,

00:36:21.320 that they were planning the possibility of implementing martial law.

00:36:23.940 And the reason they wanted that to get out is,

00:36:26.220 Theresa May was desperately trying to get her potential withdrawal agreement passed in Parliament.

00:36:32.340 That didn't happen.

00:36:33.540 So over the last few days, she's had to go back to Parliament,

00:36:36.240 pass a few amendments that give her the ability to go back to the EU and renegotiate.

00:36:40.820 And her idea was, I am sure, is if people hear that martial law is a possibility in the event of no deal,

00:36:47.520 then maybe the politicians might work with me on a deal.

00:36:50.700 And it looks like it might have paid off.

00:36:52.260 Scaring people, paid off.

00:36:54.540 You know, that's really interesting.

00:36:55.960 I'm just wondering what would have triggered this whole concept in the first place, Jack.

00:37:00.220 Is it looking across the channel, perhaps, at France and seeing what's happening there with,

00:37:05.220 you know, almost every weekend, yellow vest protesters?

00:37:09.580 And some of those protests have become quite violent.

00:37:11.960 Was that sort of playing in on this gambit?

00:37:16.080 I mean, maybe.

00:37:16.800 As I say, I think the whole thing was completely disingenuous.

00:37:19.380 And there's a flaw in it, which I mentioned in my report.

00:37:22.120 And that is, if we leave without a deal, the people on the Brexit side of things certainly won't be rioting.

00:37:30.460 Because that's what we want.

00:37:32.040 We want no deal.

00:37:33.120 We want to leave without a deal, leave on World Trade Organization rules, become a free trading nation once again.

00:37:38.340 So the only people that might actually end up rioting in the event of no deal are, you guessed it, Remainers, which is not good for the government.

00:37:47.460 It's effectively, if this wasn't disingenuous, if this suggestion of martial law was really what they thought was going to happen,

00:37:54.060 the government are effectively telling us that they expect the Remain side to go out, break the law, commit atrocities,

00:38:01.400 and do all sorts of terrible things if we leave without a deal, which is what leads me to think it's disingenuous.

00:38:07.120 Because I don't think the government believed that people would do that.

00:38:10.520 And Jack, tell me, I mean, when the rubber meets the road, when there is a Brexit,

00:38:15.340 and I mean, certainly we're at the 11th hour, given that we're talking March for this to happen.

00:38:22.420 What I'm just trying to understand, and I think what our audience wants to understand,

00:38:26.200 is that for Joe and Jane, everyday Britain, you know, a person like you living in London,

00:38:34.940 what does this mean?

00:38:37.040 You know, how does Brexit affect you financially or any other way once it becomes a reality, Jack?

00:38:45.340 Well, that's an interesting question, because there's a few variables there.

00:38:48.860 Say we leave without a deal.

00:38:50.660 We're told that we need to stockpile food, that we won't get medicine, that there's all sorts of crazy things.

00:38:55.900 They told us that people who need insulin will die, because insulin isn't made in the UK,

00:39:00.100 when in fact, actually, there's two major manufacturers of insulin in the UK.

00:39:04.340 If we leave on World Trade Organization rules, that means we can drop tariffs with other countries,

00:39:09.620 we can trade freely.

00:39:10.600 That means cheaper goods for the UK, but it also means cheaper materials for UK manufacturers.

00:39:17.640 So leaving on these WTO terms means that British manufacturing can do better.

00:39:21.400 There might be more jobs in manufacturing.

00:39:23.440 It's a real gold mine for economic growth, leaving on WTO rules.

00:39:28.580 The other possibility is leaving whilst remaining in a customs union with the EU,

00:39:33.840 which means things will largely stay the same, which is, I guess, fine for some.

00:39:39.460 But there's so much more that we can do.

00:39:41.600 You know, that's fascinating.

00:39:43.140 So that far from the, you know, the sky falling, things are going to be the same.

00:39:47.900 Or as you said, in certain examples, things are going to improve as more of a free trading nation,

00:39:53.680 Britain becomes because of the Brexit deal.

00:39:56.620 Tell me, Jack, in terms of those who voted for Brexit going back a couple of years ago,

00:40:03.120 I'm just wondering with all the analysis that's gone into this,

00:40:08.660 and as you know, according to the elites of the day back then, this was never supposed to happen.

00:40:14.020 This was the longest long shot you could possibly bet on.

00:40:17.400 Any of those people suffering from buyer's remorse given, you know,

00:40:22.200 two years' worth of analysis of what Brexit might end up doing?

00:40:26.100 Or are they more entrenched than ever that this is the way to go for Britain to sever ties with the EU?

00:40:34.360 I think there definitely is some buyer's remorse, but I don't think it's based in reality.

00:40:39.700 It's based on fear-mongering, real, genuine fear-mongering.

00:40:43.420 We call it Project Fear.

00:40:44.760 That's what we called it during the referendum campaign.

00:40:46.680 And Project Fear got even worse after we won.

00:40:49.820 We've seen – I'm sure you've seen – I think I've talked about it with you before.

00:40:53.220 We've seen that we're told that sandwiches would run out.

00:40:55.720 The most recent one is that we'd have no lettuce, which personally I can live with.

00:40:59.220 No more lettuce, no more tomatoes, no more drugs for cancer patients, all these terrible things.

00:41:05.600 And people – I think a lot of people have believed it.

00:41:08.520 And some people are so sick and tired about hearing about Brexit,

00:41:11.860 they think, you know what, sod it.

00:41:13.020 Do what you want, just leave it.

00:41:14.460 And some people feel like that, but those who don't buy it are more emboldened than ever.

00:41:20.580 I don't trust the polls on this.

00:41:22.520 The polls show that quite a large amount of people have buyer's remorse.

00:41:26.200 I don't think it's anywhere near as much as what the polls say.

00:41:28.260 But, yeah, I think this Project Fear has definitely worked on some people, which is disturbing.

00:41:35.740 Shows you just the lens that politicians will go to to really create distrust in the political system.

00:41:43.240 They don't care.

00:41:43.860 Interesting.

00:41:44.980 And, Jack, one last question.

00:41:46.760 Given the propaganda campaigns on both sides about Brexit – and this is a hypothetical question, I grant you that –

00:41:53.740 but if a Brexit redo, in other words, if another vote was to happen today in 2019 in Britain for a Brexit,

00:42:02.440 what do you think the results would be?

00:42:04.440 It would depend on the campaign and how it was run.

00:42:11.000 There's an interesting thing.

00:42:12.040 We recently passed a day where mathematicians say that enough Brexiteer voters have died

00:42:18.760 and enough young people have become legally aged voters

00:42:22.440 that achieving Brexit in another vote is now mathematically, statistically impossible.

00:42:27.860 And that's not coming from a propaganda idea.

00:42:30.460 It is pure mathematics.

00:42:31.480 So I think it's possible that we would lose on those terms.

00:42:34.680 But if the campaign was positive enough, maybe we'd win.

00:42:38.100 Interesting.

00:42:39.020 Well, Jack, in the meantime, this weekend, stock up on tomatoes and lettuce and, I guess, ham sandwiches

00:42:44.800 in case the worst of the worst does happen and London goes to hell because of the Brexit debate.

00:42:51.800 Anyways, thank you so much for weighing in on this important topic, Jack.

00:42:55.660 Thanks so much, David.

00:42:57.000 You got it.

00:42:58.020 And, folks, keep it here.

00:42:58.900 More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.

00:43:01.480 Well, it's the proverbial winter wonderland, isn't it?

00:43:11.740 It's a great day for tobogganing.

00:43:14.960 And I'm at one of the best hills in Toronto for tobogganing.

00:43:19.400 Except one thing.

00:43:20.480 The Grinches at City Hall, folks. 0.90

00:43:22.260 Look at this.

00:43:23.560 Hill close for tobogganing.

00:43:26.480 I'll read the sign verbatim.

00:43:28.540 Terrain has developed severe ridges and drops that create high risk of injury.

00:43:34.640 Designated toboggan hills are available in Riverdale West, Withrow Park, and over 20 other parks.

00:43:40.060 So, basically, severe ridges and drops.

00:43:43.660 The city is concerned that the hill is too hilly and it is now forbidden to toboggan here.

00:43:53.420 And what if we do toboggan here, like those brave kids down there?

00:43:59.220 Are the sled police going to come and issue us a ticket or arrest us?

00:44:03.500 Again, folks, this is the nanny state supreme taking away the fun of a pastime in Canada like tobogganing for no other reason than probably reducing liability at the city in case someone does sprain an ankle or something.

00:44:21.720 Well, we're going to put this hill to the test.

00:44:24.080 We're going to see how dangerous it is.

00:44:26.360 I've got the menzoid super sled here. 0.99

00:44:28.860 And we're going to go for a toboggan run.

00:44:31.300 And please, folks, whatever you do, don't call the toboggan police on me, will you?

00:44:39.280 Okay, cowabunga! 1.00

00:44:51.720 Well, can you believe it, folks?

00:45:05.820 I went all the way down the hill and ended up with no bruises, no cuts, no broken bones.

00:45:11.480 Actually, it was fun, which is exactly what tobogganing is meant to be.

00:45:15.800 Oh, but leave it to the no fun police to get involved and ruin things for everybody.

00:45:20.960 In any event, here's what some of you had to say about this latest episode of the nanny state running amok.

00:45:29.040 Dan J. Briand writes,

00:45:31.240 Making the boys weaker every generation.

00:45:34.600 You know, you make a good point here, Dan.

00:45:36.480 And maybe with all this buzz about so-called toxic masculinity, which, by the way, is just code speak for masculinity,

00:45:45.040 it is probably seen as a good thing by some that boys are made weaker and weaker.

00:45:49.740 How sad, during the two world wars, 15-year-old boys would actually lie about their age in order to enlist and fight for their country.

00:45:58.280 Today, these same boys are being told that sledding down a hill is far too dangerous for them.

00:46:04.380 Wow, how the world has changed.

00:46:06.440 Bass Cannon Jake 2 writes,

00:46:09.900 If the libs had their way, we would be living in a Demolition Man-like world,

00:46:14.020 and it would probably be mandatory to cover everyone in bubble wrap and safety pads.

00:46:20.040 Hmm, you know, I seem to recall that sex was also outlawed in the future world of Demolition Man,

00:46:26.440 replaced by some sort of virtual reality thingy.

00:46:29.480 Well, I guess we can't be too safe, I suppose.

00:46:33.720 Robert Hammond writes,

00:46:35.200 The only thing the city should be able to do is put up a sign that says,

00:46:39.260 Toboggan at your own risk. 0.92

00:46:41.420 Well, you know what, Robert?

00:46:42.600 I can live with that compromise.

00:46:44.740 What I can't live with is this futile reaction by the progressives to ban fun activities,

00:46:51.320 closing down tobogganing hills and eradicating playground equipment like swings and monkey bars.

00:46:57.540 Look, I'm not denying that bad things happen,

00:47:01.020 but whether it's a bruised shin or a chipped tooth or even a broken bone,

00:47:05.080 that's the rub, isn't it?

00:47:06.600 Sometimes bad things can and do happen.

00:47:09.320 It's all part of life.

00:47:10.640 It's all part of growing up.

00:47:11.740 It's not the end of the world.

00:47:13.260 We just need to deal with it.

00:47:15.100 What a concept.

00:47:17.140 Vash Matrix writes,

00:47:18.420 Oh, those hilly hills covered in snow are almost as scary as driving,

00:47:22.880 but much safer.

00:47:24.320 Oh, my.

00:47:25.380 You know, Vash, funny you should mention that.

00:47:27.440 When we went out to film that segment,

00:47:29.460 the snow just kept falling and falling that day,

00:47:32.580 so much so that there were a reported 300 car accidents in a 24-hour period.

00:47:39.440 But I didn't hear about any reported tobogganing accidents, by the way,

00:47:43.580 so I guess the obvious solution is for the safety bureaucrats down at City Hall

00:47:49.140 is to ban cars during the wintertime because, obviously, it's just too dangerous.

00:47:55.440 And Rattlehead writes,

00:47:57.460 Oh, that's it, David.

00:47:58.680 That's it. 1.00

00:47:59.520 Got your ass now. 1.00

00:48:00.900 You're in big trouble. 1.00

00:48:02.520 Well, you know what, Rattlehead?

00:48:04.040 Just bring it, brother.

00:48:05.640 To paraphrase the late, great Charlton Heston,

00:48:08.040 I'll give you my toboggan when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.

00:48:13.900 Well, that wraps up another edition of Rebel Roundup.

00:48:16.860 But before I let you go,

00:48:18.440 we are making a big announcement at the Rebel this week.

00:48:21.200 Member of the European Parliament, Janice Atkinson, has just joined our team.

00:48:26.660 She'll be keeping you up to date on all the historic changes going on in England

00:48:30.800 and the rest of Europe right now.

00:48:33.060 Here's a sneak peek.

00:48:34.580 As you'll see, she's not afraid to speak her mind.

00:48:37.160 You won't want to miss her reports.

00:48:39.780 See you next week.

00:48:43.500 All around you, Rome burns.

00:48:45.680 Literally.

00:48:49.580 Yeah, I've got your attention now.

00:48:51.460 Be afraid.

00:48:53.820 No, no, no.

00:48:56.100 What don't you understand?

00:48:57.940 We've got to secure our borders.

00:48:59.500 Our cultures and identities are under threat.

00:49:01.800 You're obsessed with the gender agenda. 0.95

00:49:09.040 Please, we women don't need special treatment. 1.00

00:49:14.400 The populace are winning elections, kicking out the old guard. 0.99

00:49:17.560 I've got to secure our borders.

00:49:33.300 Bigalong.

00:49:34.080 Thank you for listening.

00:49:35.040 We close.

00:49:35.980 We're open.

00:49:36.600 We love this.

00:49:39.360 We're open.

00:49:40.300 It's okay.

00:49:40.980 우

00:49:47.560 We'll be right back.
