Rebel News Podcast - Rebel Roundup： Guests Martina Markota, Jack Buckby & Ezra Levant!

00:00:00.000 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you, in which we look back at

00:00:04.180 some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favorite rebels. I'm your host, David Menzies.

00:00:10.500 So, post-US midterm elections, why exactly did that anticipated big blue wave turn into a little

00:00:18.060 blue trickle? Rebel Commander Ezra Levent will offer his analysis. And speaking of failure to

00:00:25.040 launch, one of the most bizarre sidebar stories to emerge from the U.S. midterm elections was CNN

00:00:31.620 running an opinion piece that advocated for a sex strike. Martina Marcota will try to make sense of 1.00

00:00:40.360 it all. And nothing compares to Sinead O'Connor and her newfound contempt for white people. This 0.99

00:00:49.700 after the Irish singer recently converted to Islam, Jack Buckby will weigh in with his take.

00:00:56.760 And finally, letters. We get your letters every minute of every day. And as you may know,

00:01:01.920 I was recently on assignment in Mexico following the 5,000-strong migrant caravan. I'll share some

00:01:08.920 of your responses to my report on the garbage problem that is inherent to this march of the 0.98

00:01:16.040 U.S.-bound migrants. Those are your rebels. Now, let's round them up. 1.00

00:01:28.460 That blue wave didn't happen. I mean, Trump's Republicans did lose 27 seats in the 435-seat

00:01:35.720 House of Representatives as of last count. That number may have changed somewhat due to late counts.

00:01:41.160 So, it is true the Republicans did lose their majority there. And we'll talk about that in a

00:01:45.520 minute. But it is not unusual for voters to back away from a president during his midterm election.

00:01:51.880 That is, in the middle of the president's four-year term. Trump lost 27 seats. Well, in 2010,

00:01:59.780 halfway through his first term, Barack Obama lost 63 seats in the House. In 1994, halfway through Bill

00:02:07.900 Clinton's first term, he lost 52 seats. Even mighty Ronald Reagan lost 26 seats halfway through his

00:02:16.700 first term in 1982. Look, it is a setback. Sorry, that ain't a blue wave. I think it could have been.

00:02:25.120 I think it might have been. But then, just a few weeks ago, the country, and I'd say the whole world,

00:02:30.880 because we saw it up here in Canada, and the CBC in particular was obsessed with that up here,

00:02:36.460 we all saw what a Congress would look like if it were under control of the Democrats.

00:02:43.840 We saw the assassination attempt of Brett Kavanaugh, a judge with a sterling reputation,

00:02:49.240 loved by his staff, by his friends, his clerks, both past and present, including the many female

00:02:55.100 clerks who had worked with him, literally a perfect reputation, until the Democrats revved up their

00:03:00.900 smear machine. And this Democrat Party lawyer, Michael Avenatti, the same lawyer who acted for that

00:03:08.440 porn star, Stormy Daniels, he brought forward, quote, clients who claimed that Kavanaugh had 0.97

00:03:15.000 raped them, literally raped them, including some who said he repeatedly raped them as part of a 0.99

00:03:22.060 gang in high school. Shocking allegations. Insane, really. Outrageous. I mean, if they were true, 0.99

00:03:31.560 not only should Kavanaugh not be put on the Supreme Court, he should be put in prison.

00:03:35.460 But none of these charges had ever been made in public in decades, not during Kavanaugh's previous

00:03:41.100 confirmation hearings for other judicial positions, not during all the FBI background checks on him in

00:03:46.920 the past. The Democrats said anything they could say with a straight face. They threw everything at

00:03:53.980 him they could. It was so extraordinarily over the top and backed up with no facts or changing facts.

00:04:01.380 And I think the world thought, oh my God, look at these maniacs. Well, the U.S. midterm elections are

00:04:09.200 over and that anticipated big blue wave turned out to be more of a trickle in the days ahead.

00:04:15.460 Newspapers and cable news networks will be chock full of analysis in terms of what happened and

00:04:21.300 why it happened. Yet, could it be that the outrageous way in which the Democrats behaved

00:04:27.520 during the Kavanaugh hearing prevented them from making more significant gains? At least that's

00:04:32.960 the opinion of Rebel Commander Ezra Levent, who joins me now. Welcome to Rebel Roundup, Ezra.

00:04:37.080 It's a pleasure. You know what? I really believe that theory. I mean, look, Donald Trump,

00:04:42.960 the polls were suggesting he was going to have a fairly significant setback in congressional and

00:04:49.680 Senate races. Even Republicans were worried about losing both houses. And that often happens. I mean,

00:04:57.640 Barack Obama had serious losses. I think he lost 63 congressional seats in his first midterms.

00:05:04.680 He's the record loser of all presidents in midterms.

00:05:07.120 Even Ronald Reagan, who I think we all regard as a great president, a great conservative. I think he

00:05:11.960 lost 23 in 1982. So what could have turned it around? I mean, those polls, I mean, listen,

00:05:18.720 I know polls are somewhat discredited when it comes to Trump. But when Republicans themselves were

00:05:23.160 bracing for losing it, and the losses in the House were fairly modest, and they won the

00:05:29.240 governorship of Florida. And my theory is this. Severely normal Americans, not just Republicans,

00:05:36.940 not just Democrats, but independents and just sort of regular folks, saw the wild mob, both on the

00:05:44.040 streets and in the Senate going after Brett Kavanaugh. And they heard the insane accusations that this guy

00:05:51.940 who had led this sterling, unimpeachable life, who had been investigated by the FBI on several occasions

00:05:59.180 to vet him for lower courts, that this guy who looked like a picture-perfect candidate was being accused of,

00:06:05.740 I'm not even kidding, they accused him of being a gang rapist in high school, who week after week with a gang in 0.98

00:06:15.300 high school would rape women. And apparently this was a secret for 30 years until the eve of his 0.97

00:06:22.320 nomination. It was such an outrageous accusation. If it were true, he belonged not just not in the

00:06:29.140 Supreme Court, he belonged in prison or death penalty. It would be like accusing someone of murder, really.

00:06:34.760 I mean, in my mind, rape is tantamount to murder. It's a capital offense in my mind. If someone's a gang

00:06:39.880 rapist, that's like murder. They literally accused this guy of something almost as bad as murder.

00:06:46.800 And, okay, you make that accusation, you better have something. And not only did the testimony in

00:06:53.500 real time fall apart, but as we since have learned, some of those witnesses have recanted, said they were

00:06:59.640 just doing it for attention. Americans saw this. Unless you were a diehard, extreme, never-Trump maniac,

00:07:07.320 and they're, you know, let's say that's 30% of the people and 90% of the press corps. The rest of

00:07:12.420 Americans said, whew. And Ezra, you raised something here, too. The press corps. I think this was part of

00:07:20.360 the problem as well. There was such a focus, if you recall, during the hearing about Kavanaugh's

00:07:26.160 demeanor. Oh, look at him getting nasty. And I thought, if I was being falsely accused, I'd get nasty,

00:07:32.140 too. They weren't looking at the fact that this is a great case except for no evidence,

00:07:37.280 no corroboration, witnesses whose testimony doesn't stand up. They weren't dealing with that. It was

00:07:42.940 almost like he was presumed guilty and had to prove his innocence. And I think that kind of media

00:07:49.020 coverage turned a lot of people off. The media coverage did, but I think people saw

00:07:53.340 a premonition. They saw Dianne Feinstein and her, and Michael Avenatti, the porn star lawyer who

00:08:02.500 was pulling together all these- Stormy Daniels. Yeah. And they said, this is what it's going to be

00:08:09.740 every day if these guys are given control of Congress. Because this is, you know, they're not

00:08:17.580 even in the majority on this Judiciary Committee. And look at the mayhem they're causing. It's got

00:08:23.180 nothing to do with proper government. It's got nothing to do with oversight or advice or consent.

00:08:28.080 This is just smearing and attacking. And people said, yikes. I think they were a little bit upset

00:08:34.760 for Brett Kavanaugh. I think they were a little bit worried about the, you know, false accusations

00:08:39.520 and taking legitimate Me Too concerns, you know, about sexual predators and just smearing innocent

00:08:45.300 people with it. But mainly they thought, you know what? These Democrats say, they say if they get

00:08:52.060 the power, they're going to be impeach, impeach, impeach, you know, prosecute, like nothing to do

00:08:57.140 with government. And I think people took a step back. And here's my proof. That's my theory. That's

00:09:01.020 my hypothesis. And here's my proof. There were Democrats from so-called red states who voted,

00:09:09.060 I mean, all the senators voted on Kavanaugh. It moved out of the little Judicial Committee

00:09:14.280 to the full Senate. Now, if you're a senator from a deep blue state like California, you're voting

00:09:19.680 against Kavanaugh, whatever. But there were four what they call red states. Those are states that

00:09:24.620 Trump carried. And they're Democrat senators in a Trump state. Yeah. How did they vote? Well,

00:09:31.960 Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, I think, going from memory here, Missouri. And there was one more,

00:09:39.720 I'm sorry, I can't remember the states off the top of my head, where... But they paid a price.

00:09:44.180 They voted against Kavanaugh and they lost on Tuesday. But the one Democrat from the reddest 0.90

00:09:50.900 red state there is, West Virginia. West Virginia is 68.5% for Trump in the last... So it is so Trumpy

00:09:59.040 there. Yeah. How can a Democrat win in the Trumpiest state in the union? The same as Joe Manchin.

00:10:05.800 He voted for Kavanaugh. Right. So you have here... And that was an important vote given how close

00:10:12.220 it came. Yeah. So you had three red state Dems. Sorry, four. Let me count my fingers. Four. The three

00:10:19.680 of them who voted against Kavanaugh were lost. And the one of them who voted for Kavanaugh won despite

00:10:27.360 Trump campaigning against him, having rallies against him. The Trumpiest state in the union. Because

00:10:32.200 West Virginians said, you know what? Joe Manchin's okay on this key issue. And we don't mind having

00:10:39.380 Joe Manchin. We don't mind a Democrat. Because he's not a madman. He's not a Feinstein. He's not

00:10:44.300 a Pelosi. He's not a crazy mobster. In fact, he's showing enough independence of judgment that he broke

00:10:51.000 with his party to support Kavanaugh. That's the proof of my theory, that you have this test of four red

00:10:56.360 state Dems. The only one who won was the pro-Kavanaugh Democrat. And I don't think you're

00:11:02.440 exaggerating when you use the term mob, Ezra, because I think this was another factor. Even

00:11:06.780 for those Americans who were voting Democrat, it's the lack of civility on the left. It's the

00:11:12.800 move towards the Democrat elite of becoming more and more a radical party. You showed that clip in

00:11:19.380 your commentary of people at the court doors, literally scratching it like cats. And just a

00:11:26.280 couple of days ago, you had that mob of Antifa outside Tucker Carlson's house saying, we know

00:11:31.180 where you sleep, Tucker. And this is appalling. This is not what America is all about.

00:11:37.420 Yeah. It's my belief that part of the success of the Brexit vote in the United Kingdom in 2016

00:11:43.640 was Brits looking at Germany and saying, yikes, that's what the EU globalist open borders thing

00:11:50.460 is. Two million migrants just marching in. Let's get out of this. And so they saw their 1.00

00:11:57.280 jurisdictions and said, yeah, we don't want that. And I think when you were down there covering

00:12:01.560 the caravan, I think a lot of Americans said, that's a mass of people coming here. We got mobs

00:12:08.500 on the street. We got Antifa. We got mayhem. No to the mayhem. And that's what saved Donald

00:12:14.700 Trump from larger losses, in my view. The battle's not over, even right now, in notorious Broward

00:12:21.480 County in Florida. They're trying to steal it. This is a scandal that's going on here.

00:12:25.240 So the Democrat, and again, I don't think that looks good to Joe and Jane, average American.

00:12:31.300 Most liberals in America are liberal. They're not far left. But the Democrat Party itself has

00:12:36.680 become far left. Yeah. Ezra, we have to wrap it here. I mean, there's so many other angles. But

00:12:41.700 you know, folks, there you have it. The Kavanaugh hearing, which I think in the post-MeToo era that

00:12:47.380 the Democrats thought was going to be a win for him, backfired. And as Ezra alluded to, the migrant 0.98

00:12:52.640 caravan. And I've always been suspicious of the timing that it's starting just weeks before the

00:12:57.220 midterm elections. Big time backfired, too. So maybe in harmony, this is what hoisted the Democrats

00:13:04.620 on their own petard. Keep it here. More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.

00:13:16.900 I'm not exactly sure how sex and voting go together. But for Wednesday, Martin, she explains,

00:13:25.200 plenty of us have sex once in a while to make our partners happy. But regular service sex is 0.94

00:13:30.140 something else. An arguably destructive habit fostered by specific social conditions. A symptom

00:13:35.640 that something is amiss in not just our sex lives, but in our larger lives and the culture more

00:13:41.260 generally. It's time for a revolution at the polls and in the bedroom. And in our understanding of who

00:13:47.840 women are sexually and otherwise. Given the tight interweaving of economic and political power with 1.00

00:13:54.800 sexual entitlement, female sexual autonomy has never been more urgent. And women's sexual pleasure has 0.98

00:14:01.700 never been more political. Let's consider what it might mean to go on a sex strike of sorts to get

00:14:08.180 what we want rather than give what we think we owe others. In our case, a sex strike against service sex 0.89

00:14:15.020 can be a powerful statement. That female desire, a metric of agency like women's votes will be heard. 1.00

00:14:22.680 This reminds me of an ancient Greek play called Lysistrata, where women withhold sex as a way of 0.69

00:14:28.700 forcing men to negotiate peace during war, but it only inflames the battle between the sexes.

00:14:35.460 This is just a bizarre correlation to me, politics and sex. I also think she's not aware of No Nut

00:14:43.220 November. Lots of men are on strike from sex this month anyway, so joke is on her. She doesn't realize

00:14:50.060 that men are also interested in having better relationships with women and sex by abstaining

00:14:55.180 from sex in November, making it more meaningful when they commence in December. But to have a woman

00:15:01.880 actively deprive a man just for power and politics, that can actually cause the opposite of her desired 1.00

00:15:10.460 effect, just like in this ancient play. Sex, sex, sex. That's all you ever hear about these days, 0.98

00:15:16.260 isn't it folks? In any event, to discuss one of the more surreal sidebars to emerge from this week's

00:15:22.260 midterm elections in the U.S. is the lovely Martina Mercota. Welcome to Rebel Roundup, Martina. 0.99

00:15:28.700 Thanks for having me.

00:15:29.880 Always a pleasure. So Martina, a couple of things. First of all, thanks to an outrageous excess of 1.00

00:15:36.200 jargon, only a CNN op-ed piece about sex could possibly make the idea of sex so downright unsexy.

00:15:44.560 But correct me if I'm wrong here. If a woman is indeed trading sex for something she wants, 1.00

00:15:52.440 aren't we kind of getting perilously close to the realm of prostitution here? 0.75

00:15:57.580 I mean, that's a good point. Yeah. I mean, they like to prostitutes use sex for power, right? And 0.88

00:16:05.180 that's kind of what they're trying to do. Yeah. And I mean, isn't that the polar opposite of feminism? 1.00

00:16:10.600 I mean, I thought the idea is that, you know, a woman should be judged for her accomplishments, 0.97

00:16:16.900 for her brain, for who she is, and not to be treated as a sex object. But this CNN op-ed writer,

00:16:25.260 she seems to be reversing this back to the bad old days, I guess.

00:16:29.740 That's a really good point. Yeah. I mean, it's not really, relationships are not supposed to be

00:16:37.460 about sex. I mean, they're using women and their sex as a talking point, as a power tool, which is, 1.00

00:16:45.560 you're right, the opposite of feminism. But what I find interesting about it is that it's just, 0.98

00:16:51.880 that's not the dynamic between men and women, what it should be. I think a healthier dynamic is mutual

00:16:57.400 respect, pleasing each other. She seems to talk about sex in such a negative way that it's just,

00:17:03.460 just to please a man. Jeez, I wonder what she's like in bed. 1.00

00:17:07.700 No, no, you're right. I mean, the equality element isn't there. And, you know, Martine,

00:17:11.380 I'm trying to drill down and think of what she's trying to say in absolute tangible terms. I mean,

00:17:16.360 there's this quote from Wednesday Martin, where she says, let's consider what it might mean to go

00:17:21.980 on a sex strike of sorts to get what we want, I guess the we being woman, rather than give what 1.00

00:17:28.420 we think we owe to others. So because this was written in the context of the midterm elections,

00:17:34.380 I'm just going to make a hypothesis here, Martine. Is she saying that, say the woman in a couple is a 1.00

00:17:41.540 voting Democrat and the hubby is voting Republican. Is she kind of implying, you better vote Democrat or

00:17:49.500 else? There's no horizontal jogging for you tonight. Yeah. And it's like, or else. And that's

00:17:55.960 the most horrible part. And it's really just going to turn men off, get them to vote Republican even

00:18:01.360 more, if that's the case. And, you know, there is an ancient Greek play called Lysistrata, where

00:18:07.560 that's what the women decided to do in times of war to get the men to stop fighting or whatever, 1.00

00:18:14.600 was to withhold sex. And it only created more of a divide between the sexes. So if they can take a

00:18:20.520 lesson from this ancient Greek play would be, this might not work out so well. Maybe this is not a good

00:18:26.140 idea. Yeah, indeed. You mentioned that in your commentary, Martine. And I'm wondering, you know,

00:18:31.200 that would seem to be one immediate effect that I would imagine with a lot of guys, it was just,

00:18:36.580 this would just make men resentful for so many reasons. But, you know, this is one of these stories

00:18:42.320 that gets a lot of play. Let's have a sex strike, a national sex strike. Let's shut down the bedroom 1.00

00:18:47.280 unless we get our way and help the Democrats. Yet, what do you think in tangible terms, Martina,

00:18:53.540 that translated into in the last week or month in terms of women in America actually heeding this

00:19:00.600 advice? I mean, is there even 10 women that actually followed through on this?

00:19:05.540 I can't imagine it. I mean, maybe like Madonna or something. But, you know, that's funny because,

00:19:10.280 you know, Madonna during the election was saying she's going to give blowjobs to anyone just to 0.99

00:19:15.460 vote Democrat. And now they went the other way and said no sex. So I can't keep up with them. I 0.99

00:19:23.000 really can't. I'm completely confused, too. And the other thing, too, you mentioned in terms of a,

00:19:32.500 this is irony on a cosmic level, I guess. And I had never heard of this until I saw your commentary.

00:19:38.860 But there's evidently something called No Nut November, which I originally thought was telling

00:19:47.560 people to avoid eating cashews for the month of November for some reason. But it's not. It's about

00:19:53.120 men abstaining from sex. Martina, like you said, I've never heard about this until you mentioned it.

00:20:00.660 And why is there a No Nut November? And what's the point?

00:20:07.680 I mean, it's something that the young conservative men do yearly in November. They call it No Nut November.

00:20:15.700 It certainly sounds like it's a hypoallergenic kind of thing or something. I don't know, whatever it's

00:20:21.100 called. And like a nut allergy or something. But no, no, the idea of it is, you know, it's it's a

00:20:33.600 conservative thing that men are trying and withholding sex in November, even with themselves,

00:20:40.480 just to spark that desire back up in December, maybe go out and meet real women and engage instead of

00:20:49.700 just living because that's what it is. But the left live in excess and doing whatever they want.

00:20:56.320 And it's it's kind of even sounds like a Catholic thing to me, where it's like when you can abstain,

00:21:00.920 you can then appreciate and focus on other things. And maybe it's a better thing for yourself. So it's

00:21:06.300 something a lot of young men are doing, which is really quite amazing. Instead of just all excess

00:21:13.060 everything all the time, sex, sex, sex, they they try to abstain and become better men, be better

00:21:18.960 partners, try to focus on put their energies into something else for that time. I think it's really

00:21:23.980 interesting. I don't know, Martina, I think this might be a case of be careful what you wish for

00:21:28.620 No Nut November might turn into No Nut 12 months of the year. So but one last question,

00:21:35.980 going back to this sex strike before the elections, at the end of the day, when I look at this story,

00:21:43.940 Martina, I just think to myself, this is yet again, modern feminism completely losing its way. 1.00

00:21:52.120 What are your thoughts? Yeah, again, they don't know how to make up their mind. Are they giving away

00:22:00.340 sex for votes? Are they taking away sex for votes? I mean, it sounds like pretty like desperation when 1.00

00:22:06.360 they start using sex for politics that way. I don't think that's the way to go for women. I think 1.00

00:22:13.120 feminists back in the day think the suffragettes would be appalled by this type of behavior or 1.00

00:22:19.020 concepts. It's I don't think they'd be too happy about it. It's not does not seem feminist to me at

00:22:25.180 all. Oh, 100%. I don't think the suffragettes would even recognize what modern feminism has 1.00

00:22:30.460 become, Martina. Anyways, it was a it was a humorous piece. Thank you so much for flagging it. And

00:22:36.180 thanks for coming on Rebel Roundup, my friend. Thanks for having me. You got it. And that was

00:22:40.320 Martina Marcota in London. Keep it here, folks. More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this. 0.98

00:22:45.140 I did a video about Sinead O'Connor not too long ago about how she's converted to Islam. And

00:22:56.520 what I said in that video is that if she's such a vulnerable and impressionable person that the

00:23:01.740 minute she meets radical people involved in that religion, she might well go down that route too.

00:23:07.780 She's very, very vulnerable, easy to plant ideas in her head, and she's not in a great place. And

00:23:15.960 it looks like what I said has in fact happened. There's an article here in the Metro that I wanted

00:23:21.040 to read with you. They are disgusting. Sinead O'Connor never wants to spend time with white 1.00

00:23:27.020 people again. Amazing. So it says Sinead O'Connor has claimed she doesn't want to spend any more time 1.00

00:23:32.380 with disgusting white people. The singer recently announced she converted to Islam. However, in the 0.99

00:23:37.580 midst of her tweets about her practice of Islam, the 51-year-old made a statement which she

00:23:41.940 acknowledged was so racist, I never thought my soul could ever feel it. So she knows it's racist,

00:23:47.720 but she's going ahead and saying it anyway. There's a few tweets here that you can look at them

00:23:51.820 yourself, but she says, I'm terribly sorry. What I'm about to say is something so racist, I never

00:23:56.620 thought my soul could ever feel it. But truly, I never want to spend time with white people again, 1.00

00:24:01.100 if that's what non-Muslims are called. Not for one moment, for any reason, they are disgusting. 1.00

00:24:05.760 Is it any wonder people are becoming increasingly quote-unquote Islamophobic according to the press 0.95

00:24:11.780 and all these different think tanks? Do you not think people are maybe scared when they see stuff

00:24:16.080 like this? It's not really a great advertisement for the religion or the ideology, is it? When somebody

00:24:21.740 so famous converts to the religion, within a matter of days, she's talking about how white people are 1.00

00:24:27.100 disgusting. You know, if by any chance Sinead O'Connor happens to be watching this right now, 0.98

00:24:33.200 all I can say is this, nothing compares to you. And with more on this latest slice of lunacy,

00:24:41.740 courtesy of the Irish singer, is our London-based rebel, Jack Buckby. Welcome to Rebel Roundup, Jack.

00:24:47.880 Hello, thanks for having me back on.

00:24:49.680 Always a pleasure, Jack. So Jack, let's cut to the chase here. Even though she apparently has 0.87

00:24:55.440 contempt for white people, has Sinead O'Connor at long last found peace and tranquility by converting

00:25:03.220 to Islam? Or is Sinead O'Connor simply batshyke crazy? 0.99

00:25:09.860 You know, I kind of feel like I've become a gossip columnist on The Rebel with some of this stuff

00:25:13.880 lately. No, I think she's just gone batshit. But at the same time, I'm worried about the poor woman as 0.93

00:25:20.720 well. I mean, actually, some Muslim guy with a YouTube channel did a response video to my report

00:25:25.960 saying that I was being mean and I was mocking her for finally finding peace in her life when

00:25:31.320 actually I was doing quite the opposite. I called on people not to mock her. I said we should pray

00:25:36.040 for her and that I'm concerned that she's being used by this religion. And I might also add, by the 0.99

00:25:42.160 way, I said in my first report on it, I said, I wonder how she'll react once she reached the radical 0.96

00:25:48.420 elements of her new religion, because that will happen. And a week later, it happened. And now

00:25:54.080 she's an anti-Semite as well as an anti-white, self-hating racist. 1.00

00:25:59.360 And you know what, Jack? I mean, correct me if I'm wrong here. Oh, and by the way, I agree. I thought 0.99

00:26:03.020 your piece was very sympathetic to her, because I really do think she might be suffering from some

00:26:08.280 mental illness issues here. But correct me if I'm wrong, I would imagine that many Muslims,

00:26:15.320 for different reasons, might be cringing at the idea of Sinead O'Connor not converting to Islam,

00:26:23.480 but converting to Islam on a public stage in which she is saying some really reprehensible things.

00:26:30.280 Because even if you believed in that, there's kind of a strategic way to go about, you know,

00:26:35.480 doing it, you know, to, you know, position Islam as the religion of peace and, you know, not,

00:26:40.400 you know, put that under the spotlight. And of course, there are other Muslims who 0.98

00:26:45.440 are law-abiding, they're good citizens, and they're probably shaking their head going,

00:26:50.300 oh God, just what our religion needs now. What do you think about that, Jack?

00:26:54.640 That's an interesting point. There's obviously some people are going to be quite unhappy about

00:26:57.920 her doing that. Let's be honest, there's going to be some Muslims who are concerned about her doing

00:27:01.560 it because they're peaceful Muslims who don't quite understand what their religion entails, and

00:27:05.360 they don't want another extremist on their hands. And I'd say they were good folk, misguided, but

00:27:10.160 good folk. There's the people who follow that religion and ideology who are extremists, but

00:27:15.460 don't want to reveal it as extremists, and they're the ones who are not going to like Sinead. But what

00:27:19.440 I have seen is she's kind of been embraced with open arms by many people because they see it as

00:27:24.780 they've taken away someone that white people love. And that's the heads and tails of it. They've taken 0.56

00:27:30.960 away a celebrity. But failing to realize that this, well, actually, it's not failing to realize

00:27:36.060 that this woman's vulnerable. I mean, that's the whole reason they've taken her in, isn't it?

00:27:39.560 It's easier to manipulate vulnerable people. They don't seem to be talking about the discrepancies

00:27:44.240 with all of this, by the way. I mean, she's a singer. Music's haram. You're not allowed to listen

00:27:50.860 to music, and she's a singer. And to top that off, when she's doing that video singing and doing this

00:27:56.240 with her hands, the call to prayer, women aren't allowed to sing the call to prayer. So I don't 1.00

00:28:02.440 understand why the discrepancies are being ignored here. Obviously, they're just using this very

00:28:07.060 mentally unstable woman. 1.00

00:28:08.700 Jeez, you know, you really raise an interesting point there. I mean, what would happen if a hog 0.98

00:28:12.820 farmer wanted to come to his lap? I guess you've really got a pickle on your hands there. But Jack,

00:28:18.300 I want to concentrate on something here that's, I think, the crux of the matter. She is white. 1.00

00:28:23.700 She is saying she doesn't want to have anything to do with white people anymore. That's why she's 0.99

00:28:27.800 converted to Islam. But there must be millions of Caucasian Muslims in the world. Where is she 0.98

00:28:36.120 making this connection of race and religion? I don't know. I suppose most white people aren't

00:28:42.940 Muslim. And so she's taking that line from Muslims that white people are the enemy. And she's so 0.99

00:28:48.840 self-hating. We know she's self-hating. She's tried to commit suicide. She's been found

00:28:53.620 after being missing for days and she's had overdoses and all these terrible things. It's not a big

00:28:59.820 jump to be self-hating, trying to kill oneself to then becoming self-hating and adapting to some kind

00:29:06.140 of enemy ideology that hates your own people. None of this makes any sense. Yeah, I don't think it's

00:29:13.160 all that different from what she was before. She's just changed the format in which she hates herself 0.99

00:29:17.880 now. Yeah. And you know what? You raise a good point. Do you think maybe this is a phase that,

00:29:23.360 you know, going back a few decades, there was the infamous appearance on Saturday Night Live where

00:29:30.320 she ripped the picture of the Pope in half. As you mentioned, she's gone on these days where she's 0.92

00:29:35.940 gone missing for several weeks. Now it's a conversion to Islam. Jack, I wouldn't be surprised if a couple 1.00

00:29:42.440 of weeks or months from now we're talking about Sinead O'Connor converting to Scientology. I mean,

00:29:48.120 you know. I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, she's an ordained priest as well. So she clearly,

00:29:55.920 she, yeah. So I mean, she, she goes backwards and forwards. I think this poor woman's looking 0.99

00:29:59.740 for meaning in her life. And that's what this Muslim guy who did the video about me said. He

00:30:04.540 was praising about how great it is that Islam gives people meaning in their life. And it's good to

00:30:09.060 have meaning in your life. But when that meaning is so negative and destructive and evil in many

00:30:13.940 ways and anti-Semitic and anti-white, I don't think that's a positive meaning to put on your life. I

00:30:20.480 could find meaning tomorrow in my life as a drug dealer if I wanted. It doesn't mean it's a good

00:30:24.600 thing to do. No, a hundred percent. And also, Jack, I think of, you know, in that realm of pop culture

00:30:32.640 music, um, probably the, the most, uh, famous conversion to the, uh, faith of Islam was Cat

00:30:39.240 Stevens decades ago. So what would Sinead O'Connor's policy be on a fellow musician, a fellow Caucasian

00:30:47.620 who has converted to Islam? Would he still be off the, uh, do not invite list? Or, uh, does she make

00:30:53.280 an exception for a famous, uh, Caucasian convert to Islam like herself?

00:30:58.360 Is he Jewish? Oh, I don't, I just, cause if he is, that doesn't bode well. Cause I can't imagine 1.00

00:31:06.320 she'd want to be in the same room as him, but also you never know. She might not really want 0.93

00:31:09.460 to share a room with a man for much longer. Cause she started putting those, uh, garbage bags

00:31:13.700 around her face as well. So, you know, yeah, it's, it's certainly not a good look. She's sporting

00:31:19.780 these days. Um, you know, Jack, one last question. If the dynamics were a little different here,

00:31:26.340 if this was, um, somebody converting to say Christianity and they said something like, 0.86

00:31:33.980 I don't want to have anything to do with black or Brown people anymore. How would this be played 1.00

00:31:40.640 out in the press as opposed to how the Sinead O'Connor story is now being played out in the

00:31:44.920 media? It's a good question. Um, I think what it would probably happen is she would be equally 0.87

00:31:50.880 condemned, but what would happen, uh, which will be different is they would use it as an example

00:31:56.160 of a wider problem. The problem with Christians, the problem with white people, the problem 0.97

00:32:00.180 with racists. Um, but when she comes out as a, as a Muslim, uh, is radicalized very quickly 0.98

00:32:06.500 to the point where she's talking about the Talmud on Twitter and Jews and satanic, this satanic 0.52

00:32:12.280 that and all this stuff, she's slammed for it as being crazy, but they don't talk about

00:32:17.760 the wider issue of the people that are telling her to do it. Um, and that's where the discrepancy

00:32:23.260 in the media comes. Yes. Yet again, Jack, uh, the double standard is alive and well when

00:32:29.880 it comes to issues of, uh, race, religion and culture, I imagine. So listen, great piece

00:32:35.600 on this. Thank you so much for weighing in, my friend. Thanks a lot. Take care. You got

00:32:40.040 it. And that was Jack Buckby in London. Keep it here, folks. More of Rebel Roundup to come

00:32:44.340 right after this. It's the morning after in Sayula, Mexico, the most recent stopover of

00:32:57.800 the migrant caravan. And, you know, you can always tell where the caravan has been by what

00:33:04.180 has been left behind. And, namely, what is always left behind is this. Copious quantities

00:33:10.620 of garbage strewn all over the town. This is the town municipal centre. Hundreds of migrants 1.00

00:33:17.780 were camped out here overnight. And, indeed, the lucky ones, I suppose, got to actually go

00:33:24.180 inside the structure. Uh, let's go check that out now and see how that has been left. Well,

00:33:31.180 we're inside the municipal compound where many of the migrants in the caravan spent the evening

00:33:37.420 last night. And, it is an absolute disaster in terms of the garbage that's been left behind. 0.82

00:33:47.500 Everything from food containers, food, clothing. Somebody left a wig, uh, behind. I wonder what

00:33:53.620 the story is there. But, we will walk through here. And, as you can see, uh, it's just, uh,

00:34:00.620 just, uh, a disaster zone. Lots of diapers here for somebody to pick up. Discarded food looks

00:34:20.140 still edible. Piles of clothing here.

00:34:29.420 Anywhere. Anyway, in every room, in every hallway, there is just, uh, copious quantities of garbage

00:34:37.500 that have been left behind. And, uh, I guess the trail continues. Well, the likes of CNN and MSNBC

00:34:45.580 like to portray the migrant invasion as a caravan of peace. In fact, I'm surprised they don't call it

00:34:52.540 the migrant parade. Yet, when it comes to the mainstream media, you're really not going to get

00:34:58.460 the skinny on the darker side of this trek to the United States. And that includes, as you just saw,

00:35:05.500 the absolute mess that the caravan always leaves behind,

00:35:08.860 from discarded food packaging to dirty diapers. In any event, here's what some of you had to say.

00:35:15.820 Etaji, uh, writes,

00:35:18.140 For the record, I am a Honduran living in Honduras. Millions of Hondurans are ashamed of this caravan.

00:35:25.180 It does not represent us. Send them back. We are not snowflakes, and we can take harsh criticism.

00:35:32.380 One day we shall be self-sufficient. Viva Trump! Viva Reagan! Viva the Freedom Fighters! Viva Israel!

00:35:39.900 Well, Etaji, all I can say is that you are indeed a credit to your nation. Mucho gracias.

00:35:46.300 And pe.sthlm writes,

00:35:50.620 Why not send a cleaning bill to Soros? Well, you know, George sure has the money to cover those costs,

00:35:57.020 but I think Mr. Soros prefers to spend his dough on tearing down society as opposed to cleaning it up.

00:36:05.740 And Bass Cannon Jake writes,

00:36:08.620 Reminds me of what our streets look like after every leftist march slash rally.

00:36:14.140 You know, funny you should say that, Jake. Earlier this year in downtown Toronto,

00:36:17.900 on a Saturday night, I happened upon the fallout of yet another anti-Trump rally near City Hall. 1.00

00:36:25.420 The protest was long over, but the progressives left behind all their idiotic anti-Trump signs. 0.99

00:36:31.740 They were strewn all over Queen Street. It was shameful to see this litter everywhere. 1.00

00:36:37.740 So yeah, birds of a feather, I guess.

00:36:40.860 Well, that wraps up another edition of Rebel Roundup.

00:36:43.340 Thanks so much for joining us. See you next week.

00:36:45.420 And hey folks, never forget, without risk, there can be no glory.

00:36:49.820 Good night.
