00:00:48.060 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you,
00:00:51.000 in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favorite Rebels.
00:00:55.320 I'm your host, David Menzies.
00:00:58.180 Well, most Torontonians are celebrating the arrival of a Chick-fil-A to their city,
00:01:04.040 but not everyone is happy.
00:01:06.860 Kian Bextie will explain why some members of the LGBT community
00:01:11.740 were protesting during the grand opening of this fast food restaurant last week.
00:01:17.500 And from chicken to turkey, recently some animal rights activists,
00:01:22.760 oh, and they're always such jolly people, aren't they?
00:01:25.820 Well, they actually trespassed onto an Alberta turkey farm and broke into the turkey coop.
00:01:31.660 When police showed up, were they charged?
00:01:34.360 Nope.
00:01:35.100 They were actually rewarded.
00:01:37.860 Sheila Gunn-Reed has all the unbelievable details.
00:01:41.600 And finally, letters.
00:01:43.300 We get your letters.
00:01:44.120 We get your letters every minute of every day,
00:01:46.280 and I'll share some of your responses regarding an individual I met in Washington, D.C.,
00:01:51.720 Scott Pressler, who openly advertises the fact that he's both gay and a Trump supporter,
00:01:58.820 something that drives many on the left cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs,
00:02:02.800 and hey, you gotta love that.
00:02:04.940 Those are your Rebels.
00:02:05.860 Now let's round them up.
00:02:07.000 Hi, why are you here today?
00:02:19.120 Just to make sure that people know what their money is going towards
00:02:23.160 and that they shouldn't be supporting things that are discriminating against LGBTQ plus people.
00:02:31.480 Will the gay agenda ever recover from this Chick-fil-A opening?
00:02:34.880 This chicken restaurant has been open for about 20 minutes now.
00:02:39.020 Many people have walked in.
00:02:40.340 Do you think that the gay agenda will ever recover from this blow?
00:02:45.460 Girl, seriously?
00:02:47.280 This blow?
00:02:48.780 So this was actually just like a thing that we want to try and shut down.
00:02:52.760 The gay agenda has nothing to recover from.
00:02:55.760 You know, like, we're doing fine.
00:02:58.460 God bless.
00:02:58.800 Chick-fil-A has to get the hell out of Toronto.
00:03:01.080 I don't think there's any such thing as a gay agenda,
00:03:04.580 and I don't think that it's been heard any.
00:03:06.720 You're protesting.
00:03:07.760 Yes.
00:03:08.600 It's unusual for the old white men to be on this side of the protest.
00:03:12.480 Not usually.
00:03:13.480 Not if you've got any morals.
00:03:15.360 It's been open for 20 minutes,
00:03:17.260 and they've sold tens of chicken sandwiches.
00:03:20.500 Do you think that the LGBT community will ever be able to recover from this?
00:03:23.720 Um, I hope we can.
00:03:27.480 Like, God knows we're going to fight for it.
00:03:29.440 Hey, who knew that a fast food chicken restaurant could turn out to be such a political hot potato?
00:03:36.220 Chick-fil-A opened its first Toronto franchise recently,
00:03:39.580 and fans were literally lined up around the block,
00:03:42.640 some waiting for several hours to have a chicken sandwich.
00:03:47.040 But in addition to the boosters, along came the Chick-fil-A haters.
00:03:50.960 But their actions sure didn't seem to hurt sales, though.
00:03:55.640 Joining us now is our roving reporter, Kian Bextie,
00:03:59.000 who took in the deep-fried drama at Yonge and Bloor.
00:04:02.320 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, Kian.
00:04:05.160 Hey, David.
00:04:06.240 So, Kian, in addition to the du-riguer loons of PETA,
00:04:10.940 many of the other protesters were from the LGBT, etc. community.
00:04:16.540 What exactly is their beef with this chicken joint?
00:04:21.960 They are upset that people hold religious convictions.
00:04:28.420 The LGBT community was very upset that the CEO and the ownership of Chick-fil-A donates to Christian causes,
00:04:36.980 some of which obviously aren't in line with the LGBT agenda,
00:04:44.800 as are most religions, to be honest.
00:04:49.120 So the LGBT community was upset that the Chick-fil-A was opening.
00:04:53.460 They didn't seem to care.
00:04:56.300 The LGBT community was upset it was opening.
00:04:58.500 The vegans and everyone else that was protesting, however,
00:05:01.280 they were upset that the establishment sold meat,
00:05:06.000 although they didn't seem to care much about the McDonald's.
00:05:08.520 It was just down the street.
00:05:09.940 I think they just got caught up in the hype and the hysteria.
00:05:12.300 Yeah, I think PETA are ever the opportunists, Kian,
00:05:17.260 and there were no cameras set up at the McDonald's down the street,
00:05:20.980 but there were plenty of cameras and, you know,
00:05:24.060 they're wonderful drama queens over there,
00:05:26.460 so I know that's their agenda.
00:05:28.180 But in the bigger picture, okay, look,
00:05:30.620 say I'm a vegetarian or a vegan or a member of the LGBT community
00:05:34.540 that doesn't agree with the founders' politics.
00:05:37.840 Why can't it be that I just have my own personal boycott?
00:05:41.340 Look, I don't like this place for what they're serving,
00:05:43.880 for what this guy stands for politically.
00:05:47.480 If I want a chicken sandwich, I'll go to KFC or Popeye's.
00:05:51.580 Why does it have to be we want you to shut down
00:05:55.580 and get out of this city and never come back here again?
00:05:58.800 Why does it have to be such an extremist position?
00:06:02.460 Well, because it's not really about Chick-fil-A.
00:06:04.540 It's about these egomaniacs and their desire for attention.
00:06:09.800 I mean, seriously, if you look critically at what they've done,
00:06:15.400 they've created, by their own doing,
00:06:19.460 my video and a bunch of other videos
00:06:21.680 from Toronto blogs and whatnot
00:06:25.200 that have been seen millions of times,
00:06:27.700 altogether in aggregate millions of times.
00:06:29.440 The ad revenue, or sorry, the cost in advertising
00:06:33.840 that Chick-fil-A would have had to have spent
00:06:35.340 to have gotten this to advertising is astronomical.
00:06:41.740 So these folks, if you really look at what they've done,
00:06:46.720 it hasn't been hurting Chick-fil-A,
00:06:48.240 and they must know that.
00:06:49.540 They must be intelligent enough to know that.
00:06:51.940 So really, it can't be about Chick-fil-A.
00:06:53.740 It's just they are valuing their overwhelming desire
00:06:58.460 to be seen and heard by media
00:07:00.640 to virtue signal
00:07:02.540 that they really just care more about themselves
00:07:04.880 than they care about how Chick-fil-A
00:07:07.100 turns out in the long run
00:07:09.180 or how successful the business is.
00:07:12.080 It's not about Chick-fil-A.
00:07:13.020 It's about them.
00:07:13.480 Yeah, I think you're right.
00:07:15.500 And further to that point, Keen,
00:07:17.980 it should be noted that this is the first Chick-fil-A
00:07:21.080 in Toronto, but it's not the first Chick-fil-A in Canada.
00:07:25.320 In the Calgary Airport, there is a Chick-fil-A franchise there.
00:07:29.260 And I'm just wondering why that never drew the wrath
00:07:33.300 of the usual suspects.
00:07:35.180 Is it maybe because an airport being private property,
00:07:38.660 different rules of engagement,
00:07:40.000 or are people in Calgary more accepting
00:07:42.880 of this sort of a restaurant?
00:07:47.380 I've got to correct you there, David.
00:07:49.280 It's not the Calgary Airport.
00:07:51.060 We like to call it the Harper International Airport.
00:07:54.500 And yes, there was Chick-fil-A there.
00:07:57.400 And the reason I suspect there was no protest there
00:08:00.820 is because the folks in Calgary are not prone to protesting
00:08:04.000 unless it has to do with their jobs.
00:08:06.780 Gotcha.
00:08:07.060 Well, Keen, we're having a little bit of technical difficulties
00:08:10.300 with the transmission, so we're going to have to wrap here.
00:08:12.680 But before I go, when it comes to the actual quality
00:08:15.140 of what's on the menu at Chick-fil-A,
00:08:17.500 that famous sandwich out of there,
00:08:19.320 I know you went in and you had lunch.
00:08:21.620 On a scale of 1 to 10, what do you rate the Chick-fil-A product?
00:08:26.560 Oh, it was an 11.
00:08:27.520 And it wasn't even the chicken that I loved.
00:08:29.120 It was the sweet tea.
00:08:30.440 The sweet tea was delicious.
00:08:32.940 Fantastic.
00:08:33.300 And that's what it's all about.
00:08:34.760 It's what's on the plate.
00:08:36.360 And if it's priced right, even if people might agree
00:08:39.760 with the protesters' philosophy,
00:08:43.600 people generally like a good meal at a good price.
00:08:47.000 And that, in my experience, is what Chick-fil-A serves up.
00:08:50.120 Keen, thank you so much.
00:08:51.280 It was a great report.
00:08:52.900 And kudos to you for that tuxedo ensemble.
00:08:56.920 I think you get the award for Best Dressed Rebel of 2019.
00:09:00.320 So thanks again, and you have a good weekend, my friend.
00:09:04.760 All right.
00:09:05.140 Thanks, David.
00:09:05.600 You too.
00:09:06.020 You got it.
00:09:06.920 And keep it here, folks.
00:09:08.120 More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.
00:09:10.120 On the early hours of Labor Day,
00:09:20.200 animal rights activists came on a school bus
00:09:23.120 and broke into one of the turkey barns
00:09:26.800 and staged a sit-in.
00:09:29.200 The RCMP were called, as we'll find out,
00:09:32.900 by the protesters claiming they needed protection
00:09:36.020 from our pacifist, Hutterite friends.
00:09:39.800 And after a very long sit-in, hours long,
00:09:44.320 the police involved negotiated the theft,
00:09:52.600 I'll call it a theft, of five turkeys.
00:09:57.680 The protesters were given five turkeys
00:10:00.460 to leave the farm and go.
00:10:03.660 And as you'll find out,
00:10:05.160 some of the other media coverage
00:10:07.920 of what happened here
00:10:09.380 was part of the extortion demands
00:10:14.300 of the farm invaders.
00:10:17.780 No, folks, you are not hallucinating.
00:10:20.780 A group of invaders trespass on private property.
00:10:23.700 Then they break into a turkey coop,
00:10:26.700 potentially infecting turkeys with disease.
00:10:30.180 And then when law enforcement is called,
00:10:32.740 with the call being placed by the criminals,
00:10:35.200 I hasten to add,
00:10:36.640 not only do these hooligans get off scot-free,
00:10:39.340 but they're actually rewarded with five turkeys
00:10:42.440 for all their trouble.
00:10:44.260 I know it sounds like the introduction
00:10:45.980 to a Twilight Zone episode
00:10:47.600 set in an alternative universe.
00:10:50.520 In fact, I think the only thing missing here
00:10:52.440 is a cigarette-smoking Rod Serling
00:10:54.720 in the corner narrating.
00:10:56.820 Joining me now with more on a story
00:10:58.880 that is equal parts bizarre and infuriating
00:11:02.480 is the host of The Gun Show,
00:11:04.400 Sheila Gunn-Reed.
00:11:05.400 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, my friend.
00:11:07.960 Hey, David.
00:11:08.440 Thanks for having me on the show.
00:11:09.700 Well, thank you.
00:11:10.760 And, you know, Sheila,
00:11:11.780 I mean, I just couldn't believe that report.
00:11:14.000 You know, I have a real hankering right now
00:11:15.960 for that new, all, you know,
00:11:17.680 the all-new mid-engine Corvette Stingray.
00:11:20.060 Of course, I can't afford to buy one, Sheila.
00:11:21.940 So maybe what I need to do
00:11:23.640 is break into a Chevy dealership,
00:11:25.520 occupy the car,
00:11:26.820 call the cops on myself,
00:11:28.380 and perhaps after law enforcement
00:11:30.100 negotiates with the dealership principal,
00:11:32.680 I'll be allowed to drive off the lot
00:11:34.680 with a new set of wheels.
00:11:35.960 Is this the new abnormal
00:11:37.760 in terms of dealing with protesters?
00:11:40.100 Or, Sheila, is there now different rules
00:11:43.100 for different types of criminals?
00:11:46.220 You know, isn't that the truth?
00:11:47.640 We see this sort of stuff
00:11:49.180 replicated in pipeline protests.
00:11:51.980 They show up, they trespass,
00:11:54.300 they, in the case of Camp Cloud
00:11:57.140 in British Columbia,
00:11:58.460 they built this Tower of Babylon
00:12:00.840 in the ditch all the way up
00:12:02.880 to the power lines.
00:12:05.020 And it should have been cleared away
00:12:06.420 just like any other garbage
00:12:08.200 left in the ditch.
00:12:09.280 But people were allowed to live there
00:12:11.280 and decide who even used that road.
00:12:16.760 And so they got away with it.
00:12:19.140 Why wouldn't the animal rights activists
00:12:21.060 get away with the same sort of thing?
00:12:23.700 Trespass, staging a sit-in,
00:12:26.800 and then basically extortion
00:12:28.900 and then delivering stolen property
00:12:30.620 to a so-called animal sanctuary?
00:12:32.780 What ethical animal sanctuary
00:12:34.400 would take five stolen turkeys,
00:12:36.120 by the way?
00:12:37.000 I've got some serious questions
00:12:38.360 for those guys
00:12:39.000 if I could ever figure out
00:12:39.940 where they took those turkeys to.
00:12:42.120 One of the things that didn't,
00:12:44.380 it didn't happen on camera,
00:12:46.540 and I wish it had in my story,
00:12:50.460 the, just as a testament
00:12:52.000 to just really how dumb
00:12:53.340 these animal rights activists were,
00:12:56.440 the Hutterite farmers
00:12:57.880 were showing me the barn
00:12:58.900 where the turkeys used to be
00:13:00.020 because one of the most beautiful parts
00:13:02.040 of the story is
00:13:02.860 the very next day,
00:13:05.380 several thousand turkeys
00:13:06.320 from that barn
00:13:06.880 were shipped off to slaughter.
00:13:08.320 So, I mean,
00:13:09.160 that sort of made me happy
00:13:10.420 that, you know,
00:13:11.400 the animal rights activists
00:13:12.440 didn't win that one.
00:13:13.720 But they're showing me,
00:13:15.840 I asked, you know,
00:13:16.640 how did these guys get into the barn?
00:13:19.180 And they point out this gate
00:13:20.840 they opened
00:13:21.520 and then they crawled through the door,
00:13:24.000 the little turkey door,
00:13:25.300 because the turkeys are free range.
00:13:26.680 They have access to inside and outside.
00:13:28.740 And then the farmer goes,
00:13:31.080 yeah, but the bank door
00:13:31.880 like the big man doors,
00:13:32.920 those were locked.
00:13:33.920 So they could have just walked right in.
00:13:35.700 So these protesters crawled in
00:13:38.760 like the turkeys they are
00:13:40.760 in the dirt,
00:13:41.480 in the manure
00:13:42.000 to get inside this barn
00:13:43.420 when they could have just,
00:13:44.160 you know,
00:13:44.420 opened the door
00:13:45.020 like a normal person.
00:13:46.540 How awesome would it be,
00:13:48.580 Sheila,
00:13:49.000 if there was an overweight protester
00:13:51.300 that got stuck
00:13:52.460 Winnie the Pooh style
00:13:53.600 in that little turkey door?
00:13:55.020 But I can only dream about that.
00:13:56.800 But I want to get back to,
00:13:58.200 and this is really infuriating me,
00:14:00.520 it's,
00:14:01.400 I'm trying to understand,
00:14:03.240 Sheila,
00:14:03.520 the unspoken strategy
00:14:05.080 of the RCMP.
00:14:06.440 You have invaders
00:14:07.600 on your property,
00:14:08.540 they've trespassed,
00:14:09.860 they're going into
00:14:11.060 an area that's supposed
00:14:12.320 to be quarantined
00:14:13.380 from the public.
00:14:14.860 They're clearly in the wrong.
00:14:16.700 You have the rule of law
00:14:17.680 on your side.
00:14:18.620 They should have been
00:14:19.560 handcuffed and escorted
00:14:21.280 off the premises
00:14:22.220 and charged.
00:14:23.900 And yet,
00:14:24.840 there's this idea
00:14:25.660 that we're going to negotiate
00:14:26.680 and give them
00:14:27.420 a going away gift.
00:14:29.080 I mean,
00:14:29.680 is it all about
00:14:30.840 that the RCMP,
00:14:32.660 maybe they're being ordered
00:14:33.580 by their superiors,
00:14:34.900 don't give any kind
00:14:36.560 of optics for the media
00:14:38.220 of, you know,
00:14:39.620 screaming protesters,
00:14:41.540 making a fuss
00:14:42.280 as they're dragged away,
00:14:43.580 you know,
00:14:43.900 that's worse
00:14:45.960 than, you know,
00:14:47.140 doing this negotiation.
00:14:48.320 Because otherwise,
00:14:49.320 Sheila,
00:14:49.520 I can't figure out
00:14:50.500 what's going on here.
00:14:52.220 Well,
00:14:52.900 and what are the optics
00:14:54.160 of not upholding the law?
00:14:55.940 Yeah.
00:14:56.160 Why do farmers
00:14:57.240 and landowners,
00:14:59.820 pipeline owners,
00:15:00.740 why do they have to put up
00:15:01.880 with this perpetual harassment
00:15:03.080 so that the RCMP
00:15:04.220 can avoid
00:15:04.920 some sort of
00:15:06.820 public relations
00:15:08.720 uncomfortableness
00:15:09.920 in the media
00:15:11.140 to a media
00:15:11.860 that doesn't understand
00:15:13.160 that it's dangerous
00:15:16.040 for these radical idiots
00:15:17.620 to be trespassing
00:15:18.700 in these locations?
00:15:20.400 If you look
00:15:21.180 in my video,
00:15:22.440 I didn't go
00:15:23.420 inside the active
00:15:24.640 turkey barns
00:15:25.460 because I don't,
00:15:27.120 it's a biosecure facility
00:15:28.720 and those signs
00:15:29.880 are everywhere.
00:15:31.040 They're on every single door
00:15:32.520 into the barns.
00:15:33.660 They're at the,
00:15:34.620 like,
00:15:35.840 the outset
00:15:36.240 of the property
00:15:37.040 on the road
00:15:37.580 that comes in.
00:15:38.440 It's very important
00:15:39.760 to keep the turkeys
00:15:42.120 safe
00:15:42.840 from the contamination
00:15:43.920 people can bring in
00:15:45.380 on their boots
00:15:46.280 and on their clothes,
00:15:47.200 especially these
00:15:47.840 animal rights protests.
00:15:48.840 We don't know
00:15:49.500 what other farms
00:15:50.680 they've been protesting at.
00:15:51.880 So if they've been
00:15:52.440 at a hog facility
00:15:53.640 where they've been
00:15:54.900 exposed to swine flu
00:15:56.100 and then they come
00:15:56.640 on to this turkey facility,
00:15:57.760 they could have jeopardized
00:15:59.180 the health and welfare
00:16:00.160 of, I think,
00:16:00.820 it was some 30,000
00:16:02.300 turkeys there.
00:16:03.760 It's just really
00:16:04.680 irresponsible,
00:16:05.320 but it shows
00:16:05.900 the level of
00:16:07.580 irresponsibility
00:16:09.000 of these
00:16:09.960 animal rights activists
00:16:11.720 in that they don't
00:16:12.620 even understand
00:16:13.640 what it takes
00:16:14.800 to be a modern farmer
00:16:16.120 and the care
00:16:17.520 that they take
00:16:18.220 in their animals
00:16:19.780 to protect
00:16:20.420 their animal's health
00:16:21.340 because healthy animals
00:16:23.840 just taste better.
00:16:25.640 Indeed, Sheila,
00:16:26.580 and they have,
00:16:27.600 as you said,
00:16:28.360 they have no idea
00:16:29.280 about animal husbandry.
00:16:31.060 They're completely
00:16:31.600 ignorant to that,
00:16:32.380 but how perversely
00:16:34.060 ironic would it have been
00:16:35.360 had they introduced
00:16:37.140 some kind of pathogen
00:16:38.580 that wiped out
00:16:39.740 that flock
00:16:40.420 that would go
00:16:41.280 completely contrary
00:16:42.740 to their, you know,
00:16:45.100 crusade of saving
00:16:46.320 the turkeys,
00:16:47.240 and they never
00:16:48.180 thought that through,
00:16:49.080 did they?
00:16:50.580 Well, and what would
00:16:51.560 happen if they
00:16:52.820 wiped out that flock?
00:16:54.220 So then the
00:16:55.100 Hutterite colony
00:16:55.840 is devastated.
00:16:57.120 They've lost their flock,
00:16:58.680 but what kind of
00:17:00.520 media relations disaster
00:17:01.880 would that have been
00:17:02.660 for the RCMP
00:17:03.580 that they let this
00:17:05.660 go on for so long,
00:17:07.240 long enough
00:17:07.840 to endanger the health
00:17:08.900 and welfare of the flock?
00:17:09.780 Look, the protesters
00:17:11.220 were there
00:17:11.860 for six to six
00:17:14.100 and a half hours.
00:17:15.820 I know.
00:17:16.100 That's a hell of a long time
00:17:17.180 to be interviewing
00:17:17.820 these people,
00:17:18.560 get their names.
00:17:19.860 If you don't want to
00:17:20.900 put your boots
00:17:22.040 in their back
00:17:22.920 while they're there
00:17:23.740 because there's only
00:17:24.620 five cops
00:17:25.380 or six cops
00:17:26.100 or however many
00:17:26.920 there were that day,
00:17:27.660 I think it was
00:17:28.020 five to six,
00:17:29.160 go to their homes
00:17:30.100 later and pick them up.
00:17:32.000 Throw them in the
00:17:32.620 paddy wagon,
00:17:33.280 whatever it takes.
00:17:34.040 You had long enough
00:17:34.800 to find out
00:17:35.340 who they were.
00:17:35.960 Now, the cops
00:17:37.600 are chasing them down,
00:17:39.520 I guess, I suppose.
00:17:41.320 I spoke to the colony yesterday,
00:17:43.160 no charges have come down yet
00:17:44.800 and I still don't know why.
00:17:47.180 Sheila, tell us too,
00:17:48.640 when it comes to,
00:17:50.100 I mean, I think a lot of people
00:17:51.260 might not be familiar
00:17:52.520 with the Hutterites.
00:17:54.960 You are, of course.
00:17:56.880 Tell us about
00:17:57.620 the Hutterite community
00:17:59.120 in Alberta
00:17:59.620 and tell us why
00:18:00.900 they might have been
00:18:02.720 targeted for this protest
00:18:04.420 in the first place.
00:18:05.340 So, our Hutterites
00:18:08.240 in Alberta,
00:18:09.120 we have 20,
00:18:09.980 some 20,000 of them
00:18:11.760 spread across,
00:18:13.160 you know,
00:18:14.020 dozens and dozens
00:18:14.860 of colonies
00:18:15.540 across the province.
00:18:16.660 They're primarily
00:18:17.400 a fixture
00:18:18.480 on the prairies.
00:18:19.900 Alberta, Saskatchewan
00:18:21.000 and Manitoba
00:18:21.620 have them.
00:18:22.540 They're a Christian sect,
00:18:23.840 they're Anabaptists,
00:18:25.320 so a lot like
00:18:26.460 the Mennonites
00:18:27.200 or the Amish
00:18:28.280 if people are in the East
00:18:29.440 and familiar with them,
00:18:30.500 but they live communally
00:18:31.880 because they believe
00:18:32.820 they own all things
00:18:34.000 in common.
00:18:34.560 But that's where
00:18:36.280 their communal tendencies
00:18:37.860 end.
00:18:38.460 They are free
00:18:39.280 enterprisers,
00:18:40.160 most colonies
00:18:40.680 have businesses.
00:18:42.080 I've bought sheds
00:18:43.120 and, you know,
00:18:43.940 like small buildings
00:18:45.360 from one of the colonies
00:18:46.340 that builds buildings
00:18:47.460 near me.
00:18:48.220 I do buy a lot
00:18:49.720 of my produce,
00:18:50.500 even my turkeys,
00:18:51.500 at the colony
00:18:52.100 up the road from me.
00:18:53.800 And they're pacifist
00:18:55.060 by nature.
00:18:55.920 They don't serve
00:18:56.620 in the military,
00:18:57.320 some colonies
00:18:57.920 don't vote.
00:18:58.720 And I know
00:19:01.960 for myself
00:19:02.600 and some other
00:19:03.180 Hutterites that I've
00:19:03.840 spoken to
00:19:04.320 that I know
00:19:04.680 quite well,
00:19:05.840 they think that
00:19:06.580 this colony
00:19:07.060 was targeted
00:19:07.760 because they were
00:19:08.520 pacifists,
00:19:09.120 because these
00:19:09.800 protesters
00:19:10.360 wouldn't get
00:19:11.340 the resistance
00:19:11.920 they might get
00:19:12.780 out of a farmer
00:19:13.580 like me.
00:19:14.820 And to be honest
00:19:15.580 with you,
00:19:15.940 Fort McLeod,
00:19:16.700 beautiful place,
00:19:17.740 it's near the
00:19:18.380 foothills,
00:19:18.860 it's by head
00:19:19.360 smashed in Buffalo
00:19:20.240 Jump,
00:19:20.820 if anybody wants
00:19:21.600 to look that up
00:19:22.220 on a map.
00:19:22.660 But it's two
00:19:24.480 hours south of
00:19:25.340 Calgary.
00:19:26.100 There are a dozen
00:19:28.740 easily large-scale
00:19:30.400 commercial farms
00:19:31.280 along Highway 2
00:19:32.680 south of Calgary
00:19:33.760 that these
00:19:34.420 protesters could
00:19:35.580 have stopped
00:19:36.560 at.
00:19:37.000 Instead,
00:19:37.440 they stopped
00:19:38.080 at a small
00:19:38.740 poultry operation
00:19:39.960 owned and operated
00:19:41.060 by the Hutterites.
00:19:41.820 And for me,
00:19:42.540 I think there's
00:19:43.260 only one reason
00:19:44.100 why they did
00:19:44.800 that.
00:19:45.020 Now,
00:19:45.160 the farmers,
00:19:46.100 on the other
00:19:46.720 hand,
00:19:48.220 the Hutterite
00:19:49.400 farmers who own
00:19:50.440 Jumbo Valley
00:19:51.140 Colony,
00:19:51.780 they said,
00:19:52.480 you know,
00:19:52.960 maybe it's not
00:19:53.700 that sinister.
00:19:54.720 Maybe they're
00:19:55.220 just lazy
00:19:55.900 because we're
00:19:56.500 right off the
00:19:57.020 highway.
00:19:57.380 But like I said,
00:19:57.940 there's so many
00:19:59.760 commercial farming
00:20:00.760 operations,
00:20:01.400 a lot of larger
00:20:02.080 scale cattle
00:20:02.680 operations,
00:20:03.800 dairy operations
00:20:04.580 they could have
00:20:04.980 stopped at,
00:20:05.820 but they didn't.
00:20:06.500 They went two
00:20:07.160 hours outside
00:20:08.040 of Calgary
00:20:08.520 to basically
00:20:09.300 the middle
00:20:09.740 of nowhere
00:20:10.180 to harass
00:20:11.180 some Hutterites.
00:20:12.280 And I think
00:20:12.720 there's a reason
00:20:13.360 for that.
00:20:14.260 I think you're
00:20:14.620 right too,
00:20:15.160 Sheila.
00:20:15.440 And I think
00:20:15.920 the reason is,
00:20:16.900 in not so many
00:20:18.140 words,
00:20:18.420 they're bullies.
00:20:19.240 As you said,
00:20:20.000 these Hutterites
00:20:20.620 are pacifists.
00:20:21.700 The two gentlemen
00:20:22.480 you spoke to
00:20:23.220 on camera,
00:20:24.260 talk about grace
00:20:25.440 under pressure,
00:20:26.380 grace under stress.
00:20:27.320 I would have been
00:20:27.760 seething if I was
00:20:29.760 the farmer and that
00:20:30.600 had happened to my
00:20:31.240 land, both at the
00:20:32.060 protesters and law
00:20:33.500 enforcement, I might
00:20:34.400 add.
00:20:34.840 So this is just a
00:20:36.500 terrible story.
00:20:37.120 And I hope you're
00:20:37.620 right.
00:20:37.820 I hope in the days
00:20:39.860 ahead, law
00:20:40.900 enforcement does
00:20:41.560 the right thing
00:20:42.240 and at least
00:20:43.800 charges these
00:20:45.520 people for
00:20:46.840 trespassing.
00:20:47.760 And they should be
00:20:48.200 charged for a heck
00:20:48.980 of a lot more
00:20:49.500 than that.
00:20:50.240 Sheila, a wonderful
00:20:51.160 report as always.
00:20:52.460 Thank you so much
00:20:53.220 for joining me
00:20:53.740 today.
00:20:54.960 Thanks, David.
00:20:55.480 Have a great
00:20:55.840 weekend.
00:20:56.340 You too, my friend.
00:20:57.420 And that was
00:20:58.200 Sheila Gunn-Reed
00:20:59.220 in Alberta.
00:21:00.200 Keep it here.
00:21:01.100 More of Rebel
00:21:01.640 roundup to come
00:21:02.320 right after this.
00:21:10.400 Okay, so Scott,
00:21:11.460 as I mentioned,
00:21:12.400 I saw your
00:21:13.600 signage.
00:21:14.920 I'm gay.
00:21:15.420 Trump 2020.
00:21:16.360 Democrats don't
00:21:17.300 own me.
00:21:18.220 Now, Scott,
00:21:18.940 first of all,
00:21:19.680 what prompted you
00:21:21.100 to advertise
00:21:23.140 your political
00:21:24.620 and sexual
00:21:25.500 affiliation in the
00:21:26.480 first place?
00:21:27.400 Well, I want to
00:21:28.100 show that I am
00:21:29.000 a loud and proud
00:21:30.440 Trump supporter.
00:21:31.640 I'm so tired
00:21:32.480 of people being
00:21:33.280 silenced,
00:21:34.480 intimidated,
00:21:35.600 bullied into
00:21:36.580 not expressing
00:21:37.980 themselves.
00:21:38.740 So here I am
00:21:39.520 with my Trump
00:21:40.200 shirt.
00:21:40.740 Here I am
00:21:41.200 with my Trump
00:21:41.720 computer.
00:21:42.960 And, you know,
00:21:43.360 part of the
00:21:43.760 reason some
00:21:44.220 people say,
00:21:44.840 why do you
00:21:45.300 have to say
00:21:45.940 that you're
00:21:46.320 gay?
00:21:47.020 Well, minorities
00:21:48.380 usually vote
00:21:49.760 Democrat, right?
00:21:50.880 If you're black,
00:21:51.660 you have to vote
00:21:52.560 Democrat.
00:21:53.180 If you're gay,
00:21:53.860 you have to vote
00:21:54.560 Democrat.
00:21:55.540 And simply by
00:21:56.220 being here,
00:21:57.140 simply by showing
00:21:57.960 I'm a gay
00:21:58.720 Trump supporter,
00:21:59.940 I'm totally
00:22:00.780 destroying
00:22:01.540 that narrative.
00:22:02.480 I'm destroying
00:22:03.200 that box that
00:22:04.260 the Democrats
00:22:04.820 like to put
00:22:05.580 all minority
00:22:06.300 groups into.
00:22:07.460 And I'm showing
00:22:08.220 other gay people
00:22:09.600 you don't have
00:22:11.060 to vote Democrat.
00:22:12.600 You don't have
00:22:13.000 to vote simply
00:22:13.800 Democrat because
00:22:14.880 of your sexuality.
00:22:16.460 And Scott,
00:22:17.380 I have to ask,
00:22:18.220 what has been
00:22:19.460 the reactions
00:22:20.160 to your signage,
00:22:21.780 both good and bad?
00:22:23.060 Well, I'll tell you,
00:22:23.880 just here now,
00:22:24.920 I've been here
00:22:25.360 for about an hour,
00:22:26.180 I had four
00:22:27.400 different men
00:22:28.240 come up to me
00:22:29.100 and say,
00:22:29.800 I love your laptop,
00:22:30.860 can I take a picture
00:22:31.620 of you?
00:22:32.460 And so to every
00:22:33.040 single person,
00:22:33.700 of course,
00:22:34.140 I asked,
00:22:34.920 are you registered
00:22:35.820 to vote at your
00:22:36.640 current address?
00:22:37.860 But I want to make
00:22:38.640 it very clear,
00:22:39.560 here are these men
00:22:40.480 coming up to me
00:22:41.240 who I presume are
00:22:42.120 straight,
00:22:42.860 here I am a gay
00:22:43.920 Trump supporter,
00:22:45.260 there was no
00:22:45.740 homophobia,
00:22:46.680 there was no hate,
00:22:47.680 I was embraced,
00:22:48.840 I was welcomed
00:22:49.540 with open arms
00:22:50.500 and open hearts.
00:22:51.320 Well, you just
00:22:52.140 never know who
00:22:52.920 you're going to
00:22:53.500 bump into at
00:22:54.480 Ronald Reagan
00:22:55.100 Airport in
00:22:55.820 Washington, D.C.
00:22:57.060 And recently,
00:22:57.860 I had the pleasure
00:22:58.760 of bumping into
00:22:59.740 Scott Pressler,
00:23:01.060 who has no trouble
00:23:02.200 proclaiming his
00:23:03.120 sexual orientation
00:23:04.200 and political
00:23:05.200 affiliation via his
00:23:07.040 apparel and the
00:23:08.220 signage on his
00:23:08.960 laptop.
00:23:09.940 Hey, ain't the
00:23:10.740 First Amendment
00:23:11.280 just the greatest?
00:23:12.600 In any event,
00:23:13.420 here's what you
00:23:14.220 had to say about
00:23:14.920 a person who is
00:23:15.760 simply not supposed
00:23:16.960 to vote Republican,
00:23:18.320 well, according to
00:23:20.000 the so-called
00:23:20.980 progressives.
00:23:22.860 Clarissa Lee
00:23:23.520 writes,
00:23:24.420 I like this guy,
00:23:25.500 it's not a crime
00:23:26.280 to have an opinion,
00:23:27.360 good.
00:23:28.380 Oh, but that's
00:23:28.920 the thing,
00:23:29.400 isn't it, Clarissa,
00:23:30.400 we're living in a
00:23:31.140 day and age in
00:23:31.940 which it is indeed
00:23:33.100 a crime to have
00:23:34.200 an opinion.
00:23:35.300 Old social media
00:23:36.320 posts have resulted
00:23:37.320 in people getting
00:23:38.100 fired and not a
00:23:39.600 week goes by in
00:23:40.560 which pundits
00:23:41.420 uttering politically
00:23:42.440 incorrect opinions
00:23:43.600 are de-platformed.
00:23:46.080 The left loves
00:23:46.860 diversity, but not
00:23:48.120 diversity of thought,
00:23:49.300 so Scott Pressler
00:23:50.420 must make many
00:23:51.940 of those go
00:23:53.220 bonkers because
00:23:54.340 given his sexual
00:23:55.340 orientation, he
00:23:56.780 should be a true
00:23:57.620 blue Democrat, but
00:23:59.120 he's not, and there
00:24:00.320 are many others just
00:24:01.580 like Scott who
00:24:02.660 aren't either.
00:24:04.000 How refreshing to
00:24:05.420 see them coming out
00:24:06.400 of the closet.
00:24:08.020 Jerry Al writes,
00:24:09.060 this guy must have
00:24:10.500 found out that
00:24:11.220 Republicans are more
00:24:12.520 accepting to him
00:24:13.780 being himself than
00:24:14.680 Democrats.
00:24:15.720 I'm sure he's been
00:24:16.580 called every name in
00:24:17.560 the book by Democrats.
00:24:19.580 Well, you know, I
00:24:20.120 asked him about that,
00:24:21.080 Jerry, and indeed he
00:24:22.060 has been called every
00:24:23.160 name.
00:24:24.120 How's that for the
00:24:25.200 so-called oh-so-tolerant
00:24:26.980 left?
00:24:28.060 Bob Jacobson writes,
00:24:29.460 this guy would make a
00:24:31.100 poor Democrat anyway.
00:24:32.660 He is smart,
00:24:33.560 articulate, courageous,
00:24:34.640 and thinks for
00:24:36.120 himself.
00:24:37.400 Couldn't have said it
00:24:38.180 any better than that,
00:24:39.140 Bob.
00:24:40.040 Andrew W. writes,
00:24:41.580 I'm gay and the
00:24:42.580 leftists are absolutely
00:24:44.260 nuts.
00:24:45.260 But we are a minority
00:24:46.240 in the community,
00:24:47.240 sadly.
00:24:48.080 A great example about
00:24:49.260 what's happening, the
00:24:50.140 Eurovision contest had a
00:24:51.760 gay group from
00:24:52.500 Iceland.
00:24:53.560 The competition was
00:24:54.540 held in Israel.
00:24:56.340 This group made a big
00:24:57.660 deal about supporting
00:24:58.880 Palestine and the gays
00:25:00.740 supported them big
00:25:01.820 time.
00:25:02.500 Weeks later,
00:25:03.260 Palestine authorities
00:25:04.340 banned gay groups.
00:25:06.700 I spoke out about
00:25:07.640 the hypocrisy.
00:25:09.140 The community was
00:25:09.980 angry at me.
00:25:11.680 They can't see
00:25:12.800 anything real.
00:25:14.000 It's absolutely nuts.
00:25:15.700 Keep up the good
00:25:16.280 work, Rebel.
00:25:17.260 Well, thanks for your
00:25:18.140 kind words, Andrew.
00:25:19.000 And yes, I agree.
00:25:20.020 This is an example of
00:25:21.520 self-defeating leftist
00:25:23.080 lunacy.
00:25:24.240 The only country in
00:25:25.060 the Middle East that
00:25:25.820 allows gay pride parades
00:25:27.360 is Israel.
00:25:28.820 And yet the left
00:25:29.760 continue to vilify
00:25:30.800 Israel and try to
00:25:32.120 economically cripple
00:25:33.760 this state with the
00:25:35.260 pathetic BDS movement.
00:25:37.640 Yeah, it sure makes
00:25:38.960 sense to me.
00:25:40.640 And World of Warships
00:25:41.900 BGRF writes,
00:25:44.260 As someone who is
00:25:45.040 gay and is a
00:25:45.880 Republican, I agree
00:25:46.960 with him on
00:25:47.640 everything.
00:25:49.020 The left have lost
00:25:49.900 their minds and
00:25:51.100 need reform ASAP.
00:25:54.000 Oh, me thinks that
00:25:54.820 reform is going to
00:25:55.660 come in 2020 when the
00:25:57.220 Democrats lose yet
00:25:58.380 again to Trump.
00:25:59.720 Surely then they will
00:26:00.680 come to the realization
00:26:01.820 that there's not a
00:26:02.960 critical mass of
00:26:03.780 Americans that buy
00:26:05.360 into an agenda that's
00:26:06.600 heavy on socialism and
00:26:08.420 censorship and identity
00:26:10.060 politics.

00:26:14.160 writes,
00:26:15.140 Okay, let me get this
00:26:16.300 straight.
00:26:16.740 The Rebel Media guy
00:26:17.840 carries his mic wherever
00:26:19.000 he goes, even to an
00:26:20.700 airport.
00:26:21.600 It's a good interview,
00:26:22.800 but seems a little set
00:26:24.100 up.
00:26:24.580 Well, my friend, I do
00:26:25.720 carry my camera mic
00:26:26.800 everywhere I go.
00:26:28.240 Be prepared.
00:26:28.840 Isn't that what the
00:26:29.560 Boy Scouts taught us?
00:26:31.560 And there was nothing
00:26:32.700 set up about this
00:26:33.600 interview.
00:26:34.120 I was simply waiting
00:26:35.300 for a flight back to
00:26:36.240 Toronto when I noticed
00:26:37.240 that sign on Scott's
00:26:38.860 laptop, and I knew I
00:26:40.660 just had to talk with
00:26:41.880 him, and I'm so glad
00:26:43.420 that I did.
00:26:44.540 Well, that wraps up
00:26:45.640 another edition of
00:26:46.480 Rebel Roundup.
00:26:47.160 Thanks so much for
00:26:47.840 joining us.
00:26:48.360 See you next week.
00:26:49.080 And hey, folks, never
00:26:49.840 forget, without risk,
00:26:51.540 there can be no glory.
00:26:52.900 Good night.
00:26:53.300 We'll see you next week.
