Rebel News Podcast - Rebel Roundup： Guests Sheila Gunn Reid, Keean Bexte

00:00:00.500 You're listening to a Rebel Media Podcast.

00:00:03.700 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you,

00:00:07.340 in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favourite rebels.

00:00:12.080 I'm your host, David Menzies.

00:00:14.360 Well, some bad news on the electoral front.

00:00:17.440 Elections Canada admits there are more than 112,000 illegal voters on the federal voters list.

00:00:25.920 Oh, and here's some even worse news, folks.

00:00:28.580 Elections Canada says it doesn't have enough time to fix this problem before October's federal election.

00:00:36.640 It's barbecue season right now, after all.

00:00:39.480 Sheila Gunn-Reed will weigh in on this egregious situation. 0.95

00:00:44.460 Well, Mr. Bextie went to Washington recently, and guess what happened?

00:00:49.280 He was given the royal treatment by the Americans,

00:00:51.340 but he was actually denied entry to the Canadian Embassy by the Prime Minister's office

00:00:57.840 due to, what, rebel derangement syndrome?

00:01:01.660 He and Bextie will weigh in on Justin Trudeau's slimy ways

00:01:06.140 when it comes to banning media outlets that dare to rock the boat.

00:01:10.980 And finally, letters.

00:01:12.420 We get your letters.

00:01:13.120 We get them every minute of every day.

00:01:14.840 And I'll share some of your responses regarding how one media outlet,

00:01:18.860 that would be little old us,

00:01:21.260 had to be fraud-marched out of an Eid Mubarak dinner

00:01:25.140 hosted by the Canadian Muslim Vote

00:01:27.300 and featuring Justin Trudeau as the guest of honour.

00:01:31.820 Hey, I'm feeling deja vu right now,

00:01:34.420 but apparently we aren't government-approved

00:01:37.560 and or union-approved and or Muslim-approved media,

00:01:41.500 so therefore, that makes us media non grata.

00:01:45.260 Nice.

00:01:46.480 Those are your rebels.

00:01:47.440 Now let's round them up.

00:01:48.640 An order paper question asked by Alberta Conservative MP Blake Richards

00:02:09.400 shows us just how serious the Liberals really are

00:02:13.040 about protecting Canadian elections.

00:02:14.820 The answer is that it might be just too much work for them.

00:02:19.300 Here's the question.

00:02:21.240 With regard to the approximately 103,000 non-citizens

00:02:26.300 who were found to be on the National Register of Electors illegally,

00:02:30.900 how many voted in the 42nd general election in 2015?

00:02:36.380 How many voted in each of the 338 electoral districts

00:02:40.940 in the 42nd general election in 2015?

00:02:44.820 How many voted in any federal by-election held since October 20th, 2015?

00:02:50.700 And what is the breakdown by each riding where a by-election has been held?

00:02:57.620 Hang on here.

00:02:58.420 103,000 non-citizens were on the National Register of Electors?

00:03:03.080 That's shocking, really.

00:03:04.640 More than the population of Red Deer, Alberta.

00:03:07.660 Now the response back from the Ministry of Democratic Institutions

00:03:11.740 is even more troubling.

00:03:13.380 Here's what we know from the response.

00:03:16.340 That 103,000 number is actually much higher.

00:03:21.000 It's actually 112,000.

00:03:24.260 And Elections Canada says they're taking steps now

00:03:27.700 to remove these names in advance of the 2019 general election.

00:03:32.320 Will they all be removed by then?

00:03:34.860 Who really knows?

00:03:35.740 Well, welcome to electoral integrity, Justin Trudeau style.

00:03:40.600 Namely, the ongoing threats to social media censorship

00:03:44.100 pertaining to the upcoming fall federal election.

00:03:47.500 After all, the control freak liberals don't want any more bad press

00:03:52.020 to leak out, a la SNC-Lavalin and Admiral Norman,

00:03:56.340 and of course, Gropegate.

00:03:57.780 But in the meantime, incredibly, there are more than 112,000 illegal voters

00:04:05.540 that are on the federal voters list.

00:04:08.840 Worse, the gatekeeper bureaucracy here, Elections Canada,

00:04:12.400 openly admits that they have no idea of knowing what the consequences are

00:04:17.080 of having those people on the list.

00:04:19.200 And even though Elections Canada had almost four years to rectify this mess,

00:04:24.760 they didn't.

00:04:25.940 And now, apparently, they don't have enough time.

00:04:29.400 And it's too much work for Elections Canada to repair this problem

00:04:33.740 in time for the October federal election.

00:04:36.320 I mean, hey folks, after all, with the Dominion Day holiday just around the corner,

00:04:40.480 we're into barbecue season right now.

00:04:43.480 This is a dereliction of duty.

00:04:45.560 This is an outrage, and this is nothing short of a slap in the face

00:04:50.700 to every law-abiding, tax-paying Canadian who plays by the rules.

00:04:56.700 The question now is this.

00:04:58.800 Given what we now know about this problem, where do we go from here?

00:05:04.160 Joining me now with more on this egregious situation

00:05:07.200 is the host of The Gun Show, Sheila Gunn-Reed.

00:05:09.940 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, my friend.

00:05:12.320 Hey, David. Thanks for having me on.

00:05:13.780 Thank you, Sheila.

00:05:14.560 Now, Sheila, this is downright disturbing to me,

00:05:18.620 and I would imagine most law-abiding Canadians.

00:05:21.800 But I'm going to pose a hypothetical question here.

00:05:24.840 Do you think that the governing Liberals were fully aware

00:05:28.220 of this Elections Canada mess, yet they allowed it to fester?

00:05:32.700 Because, hey, maybe the majority of those 112,000 illegal voters

00:05:37.020 are perhaps voting Liberal?

00:05:38.760 Well, we do know that the Elections Canada bureaucracy is partisan,

00:05:46.140 whether they want to admit it or not.

00:05:47.540 We can just see that with their bizarre focus on things.

00:05:50.680 They have this censorship focus where they want to censor Google and YouTube,

00:05:56.760 and now I see that Twitter has given in to their censorship demands

00:06:00.060 and says that they won't allow any political advertising in the lead-up to the writ being dropped

00:06:06.380 that just was announced Wednesday.

00:06:09.760 So, you know, they are very partisan.

00:06:13.580 All we have to do is look at their latest Elections Influencer Scheme,

00:06:19.140 where they were going to hire 13 Elections Influencers, social media influencers,

00:06:26.280 not a conservative in the bunch, not a blue-collar type in the bunch,

00:06:29.960 not an oil patch advocate in the bunch,

00:06:32.080 all either openly partisan Liberals or people from pretty liberal industries

00:06:37.660 like TV and, you know, Olympic sports,

00:06:41.740 to try to get the vote out during the next election.

00:06:46.840 And, you know, when you're hiring people with a Liberal audience,

00:06:50.060 you're only trying to mobilize Liberal voters.

00:06:52.980 And that's what Elections Canada has been up to the past four years.

00:06:57.040 While they were fully aware,

00:06:59.100 the first estimate was 103,000 illegal voters were on the voter rolls.

00:07:05.620 But when the final results of an order paper question came back,

00:07:08.620 it's actually 112,000.

00:07:10.700 So it's even worse than Elections Canada first suspected.

00:07:14.760 And they haven't done anything to address it.

00:07:16.880 And there were several ridings,

00:07:20.400 in particular the Pipeline Minister's riding,

00:07:22.980 Amarjeet Sohi,

00:07:24.280 that were, you know, under a couple hundred votes.

00:07:26.960 They were that close, had to undergo several recounts.

00:07:31.620 These votes are enough to have flipped some pretty important ridings in the country

00:07:37.460 if these people voted illegally.

00:07:40.240 And Elections Canada doesn't have a clue.

00:07:42.260 Oh, this is by no means insignificant.

00:07:44.260 But, Sheila, I want to touch upon the...

00:07:47.480 This is what's making my blood boil.

00:07:49.580 And if anyone who loves democracy should make their blood boil.

00:07:52.780 If there is one element of the bureaucracy that should be nonpartisan,

00:07:59.920 that should be blind to politics 100%,

00:08:02.940 it is something like Elections Canada.

00:08:05.560 I'm not, you know, using hype here when I say that, you know,

00:08:09.860 if you don't have this bureaucracy playing by the rules strictly,

00:08:15.080 this is the very bedrock of our democracy.

00:08:19.320 A fair and open and transparent election campaign.

00:08:23.780 And when they start getting this politicized,

00:08:27.880 this just, you know, ruins the system, quite frankly.

00:08:31.780 It should never be done.

00:08:33.540 It should never be allowed to happen in the first place, Sheila.

00:08:37.320 Well, yeah.

00:08:38.080 And, you know, you've got the Liberals who literally won't shut up about elections integrity

00:08:41.800 and cracking down on foreign meddling

00:08:44.580 to the point where they want to censor normal, everyday Canadians.

00:08:47.300 But this is actual, tangible voter fraud if these people voted.

00:08:53.780 It's tangible.

00:08:54.940 And the first time the Liberals even started to put this on their radar

00:08:58.600 in a way that they could weed out some of these non-citizen people 1.00

00:09:02.420 on their voter rolls was earlier in the spring.

00:09:05.480 I think it was April.

00:09:07.580 April, four years after the last election,

00:09:10.300 that they started to think,

00:09:11.360 maybe we should cross-reference some of these voter registration lists

00:09:15.780 with information from Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada.

00:09:19.520 So they even have the names to weed these people out.

00:09:24.900 They don't actually even have to go and phone up every single one of these people

00:09:28.900 and ask for, you know, their citizenship card.

00:09:31.360 They can get the information directly from a government agency,

00:09:34.400 cross-reference it, and cross these people off the list,

00:09:37.220 or for that matter, refer them for elections fraud

00:09:41.360 if they did actually vote,

00:09:42.880 knowing full well they couldn't vote.

00:09:44.600 And none of that is really happening

00:09:47.520 except, you know, just the last couple of months.

00:09:50.940 You know, conveniently without enough time

00:09:53.360 to really get the job done before the next election.

00:09:55.980 But Sheila, I think right now,

00:09:57.580 everyone watching this segment

00:09:59.340 is screaming this very relevant question.

00:10:02.540 How did this happen in the first place?

00:10:04.660 We're not talking one or two or 12

00:10:07.240 ineligible voters being admitted to the list.

00:10:10.920 We're talking about 112,000.

00:10:13.300 And I'm just trying to understand,

00:10:16.060 and perhaps you can give it to me, Sheila,

00:10:17.760 what the nitty-gritty, tangible process was

00:10:21.980 in getting somebody who couldn't qualify to vote

00:10:25.180 on the list in the first place.

00:10:28.280 Well, you know, Canada doesn't exactly have

00:10:31.240 the most stringent voter ID laws.

00:10:34.160 You can show up and you can have somebody vouch for you.

00:10:38.060 You can show up and say,

00:10:39.300 yeah, I vouch that so-and-so is a citizen

00:10:41.960 eligible to vote, lives in this riding.

00:10:44.300 And that's all you need.

00:10:45.540 So if you're not afraid of perjuring yourself,

00:10:49.140 then you can be a voucher for someone

00:10:53.160 who's an illegal voter.

00:10:55.040 There's no requirement to show up with your passport

00:10:57.940 or your gun license or your driver's license.

00:11:01.680 You can just show up with a piece of mail,

00:11:08.300 like a bill, and say, yeah, I'm eligible to vote.

00:11:11.360 Trust me, I'm a Canadian citizen.

00:11:12.940 And I think you know a little bit about this, David,

00:11:15.420 because you did dress in a burqa and voted.

00:11:18.140 And they didn't seem all that concerned

00:11:19.920 with confirming your identity.

00:11:21.480 It was absolutely surreal.

00:11:23.500 But the question is, Sheila, why isn't a passport

00:11:27.580 or a firearms license or a driver's license

00:11:30.840 or a citizenship card, why isn't this ID necessary?

00:11:34.760 I mean, if you or I want to fly just for a leisure trip,

00:11:38.840 we can't get out of an airport without identification.

00:11:42.240 We can't cross a border if we're driving,

00:11:44.820 you know, across the U.S.-Canada border.

00:11:47.060 I mean, the very idea that I'm this guy

00:11:51.760 and this guy, you know, he pinky swears I'm who I say I am,

00:11:56.080 that can't be allowed to happen

00:11:58.720 because you know it's going to be abused.

00:12:01.500 And here's the proof in the pudding,

00:12:03.000 112,000 cases of abuse.

00:12:06.520 Well, yeah.

00:12:07.340 And when people try to change these laws,

00:12:10.480 to tighten them up,

00:12:11.460 to preserve the integrity of our election,

00:12:14.060 to make sure that my vote and your vote

00:12:17.020 isn't nullified by 112,000 illegal voters,

00:12:22.120 that's more than the population of Red Deer, Alberta, by the way.

00:12:26.800 Every time somebody introduces a motion

00:12:29.100 to tighten this stuff up,

00:12:31.180 they are accused of racism.

00:12:32.860 They are accused of saying,

00:12:33.980 you are targeting immigrant communities, 0.97

00:12:36.600 marginalized communities, refugee communities.

00:12:39.640 I think that's the bigotry of low expectations.

00:12:41.960 I think that immigrant and refugee communities

00:12:44.920 who, those among them who are eligible to vote

00:12:47.900 in Canadian elections,

00:12:49.020 are just as capable as I am

00:12:51.580 of going and getting the proper ID

00:12:53.820 and turning it up at the ballot box.

00:12:56.680 It is absolute bigotry to say that

00:12:58.900 these folks are incapable

00:13:00.320 of meeting the very basic requirements to cast a vote.

00:13:03.360 You know, it is the racism of lowered expectations, Sheila,

00:13:06.060 and I would even go one step further.

00:13:08.180 For many people who have immigrated legally into Canada

00:13:12.060 from really horrible, nasty regimes,

00:13:15.360 one of the things they cherish here

00:13:17.200 is that we do have democracy.

00:13:19.080 This is not North Korea or Venezuela or Iran.

00:13:23.620 And the idea that this, you know,

00:13:26.920 precious gem of democracy

00:13:28.920 should be watered down in such a fashion,

00:13:32.440 that's disgraceful.

00:13:34.840 So they would want this system

00:13:37.440 preserved and enshrined, I should think.

00:13:40.600 Well, yeah, I mean,

00:13:41.740 you really only have to look at

00:13:43.120 the Chinese community in Burnaby, British Columbia.

00:13:46.620 They are the ones who are sounding the alarm bells

00:13:49.540 about, I guess,

00:13:51.800 the impolite term would be anchor babies

00:13:54.140 from China, Chinese women who are coming to Burnaby

00:13:57.100 and having their babies

00:13:59.280 and then using that baby,

00:14:01.920 who's now a Canadian citizenship

00:14:03.400 through birthright citizenship

00:14:05.100 to sponsor the rest of the family into the country.

00:14:08.460 And it's the Chinese community in Burnaby,

00:14:11.580 the Chinese immigrant community,

00:14:12.800 who are the ones who are saying

00:14:14.440 this is unfair and something needs to be done.

00:14:17.680 And yet the Liberals will call them racist

00:14:20.600 against Chinese people 1.00

00:14:21.660 for wanting to preserve the value

00:14:23.300 of Canadian citizenship.

00:14:24.760 And you know, something can be done

00:14:26.460 because that loophole in the UK

00:14:28.960 in the early 80s was taken away.

00:14:32.440 So we know there is a solution

00:14:33.740 and there should be a solution 0.98

00:14:35.220 for this Elections Canada garbage 0.98

00:14:37.540 because that's what it is, Sheila. 0.89

00:14:39.020 And I hope, you know,

00:14:39.980 we got to wrap right now,

00:14:41.280 but I hope if we indeed have regime change

00:14:44.260 come October,

00:14:45.840 that the new people in charge

00:14:48.400 will take care and clean up this mess.

00:14:51.240 And by the way, one last thing,

00:14:53.000 this idea of Elections Canada saying,

00:14:55.580 oh, we've run out of time,

00:14:57.500 oh, it's too much work,

00:14:59.540 shame on them,

00:15:00.480 just shame on them

00:15:01.440 for basically throwing in the white flag of surrender,

00:15:05.100 assuming they aren't colluding

00:15:06.980 with this watered down,

00:15:08.920 no one is illegal kind of mindset

00:15:10.860 in the first place.

00:15:12.740 Yeah, I mean,

00:15:13.780 making sure the votes that were cast

00:15:15.600 were proper votes

00:15:16.560 is literally their only job.

00:15:19.000 Everything else is noise.

00:15:20.340 And I hope if the Conservatives get in power

00:15:23.580 in October,

00:15:24.800 that they gut Elections Canada

00:15:27.280 and weed out all these bureaucrats

00:15:29.240 who are jeopardizing the value of our elections.

00:15:31.740 Amazing.

00:15:32.180 It's like telling the city dog catcher

00:15:33.800 to go catch some dogs

00:15:34.920 and he says,

00:15:35.960 what, you want me to catch dogs?

00:15:37.220 What do you think I am?

00:15:38.300 Sheila, we got to wrap this up.

00:15:40.940 Thank you so much.

00:15:41.720 An excellent commentary once again, my friend.

00:15:44.360 Great, David.

00:15:44.900 Have a great weekend.

00:15:45.740 You got it.

00:15:46.440 Happy Dominion Day to you.

00:15:47.840 And that was Sheila Gunn-Reed in Alberta.

00:15:50.200 Keep it here, folks.

00:15:50.980 More of Rebel Roundup to come

00:15:52.240 right after this.

00:16:00.800 You know, my boss, Ezra Levant,

00:16:02.360 was joking when he called it the media party.

00:16:04.520 But in fact, it's true.

00:16:06.360 And I just confirmed it on video.

00:16:08.680 A prime minister's office staffer

00:16:10.140 stopped me from going in those doors

00:16:12.000 because I have this microphone

00:16:13.500 for no other reason than that.

00:16:15.620 I came to the White House.

00:16:16.680 I covered Donald Trump and Trudeau

00:16:18.680 appearing with him

00:16:20.260 for a very brief 80 minutes.

00:16:22.720 Most of that was taken up

00:16:23.720 with local reporters

00:16:24.780 talking about Iran.

00:16:26.160 So Justin Trudeau 0.96

00:16:26.840 had a pathetic amount of time 0.93

00:16:28.180 with the leader of the free world. 0.89

00:16:30.140 So he comes here to speak with media

00:16:31.480 in a controlled environment

00:16:32.940 where the Canadian Press Gallery

00:16:34.380 decides who can and who cannot

00:16:37.180 go and speak to the prime minister.

00:16:39.360 Now you're saying,

00:16:39.800 oh, well, Kean,

00:16:40.620 the Canadian Press Gallery

00:16:41.520 is an independent third-party organization.

00:16:43.760 Au contraire.

00:16:44.480 It's not.

00:16:45.760 Listen to what this PMO staffer

00:16:47.220 had to say.

00:16:48.140 Good, how are you?

00:16:48.640 So you won't be able to come in

00:16:50.000 to the event.

00:16:52.520 Why?

00:16:53.240 Just because your organization

00:16:54.420 is associated with white nationalism

00:16:56.220 and white supremacy.

00:16:57.420 And those values and views

00:16:59.340 are not welcome in this place.

00:17:01.560 So I'm allowed in the White House

00:17:03.480 to cover a news event.

00:17:05.520 And I'm not a white nationalist.

00:17:07.040 I'm not a white supremacist.

00:17:08.520 But you guys get to arbit...

00:17:09.480 Your news outlet has been associated

00:17:10.120 with that type of behavior and rhetoric.

00:17:12.000 So the White House accreditation...

00:17:14.100 So the prime minister's office

00:17:15.440 has made the unilateral decision

00:17:17.080 to not let me in?

00:17:18.440 The prime minister's office

00:17:19.360 has agreed with the Canadian Press Gallery

00:17:21.180 that your organization's views

00:17:23.700 are not welcome.

00:17:24.420 So that's all I have.

00:17:25.080 They'll get you to leave.

00:17:25.960 But I just wanted to come in my email.

00:17:26.500 So the prime minister's office

00:17:27.480 determines who can and cannot

00:17:28.780 cover Canadian politics

00:17:29.920 in the United States?

00:17:30.600 It's a Canadian embassy event.

00:17:31.800 And you are also not an accredited journalist

00:17:33.760 in the Canadian Press Gallery

00:17:34.920 at a Canadian media event.

00:17:36.380 And that's why.

00:17:37.100 Absolutely stunning.

00:17:38.700 Yet another flunky suffering

00:17:40.300 from rebel derangement syndrome.

00:17:42.480 Apparently this time around

00:17:43.720 the rebel is media non grata

00:17:45.440 because we're, quote,

00:17:47.040 associated with white nationalism

00:17:49.080 and white supremacy, end quote.

00:17:52.100 You know, I think that allegation

00:17:53.780 is borderline libelous

00:17:55.740 for I'd sure love to see

00:17:57.460 that security guard prove

00:17:58.860 such an outrageous allegation in court.

00:18:01.860 However, I will give them this.

00:18:03.420 At least Magilla, the gorilla

00:18:05.160 in the designer's shades

00:18:06.780 had the decency to give us

00:18:08.640 a reason for being excluded

00:18:10.800 even if the reason was equal parts

00:18:13.120 preposterous and false.

00:18:15.780 Because when it comes to the true liberals

00:18:17.660 and for that matter

00:18:18.520 the parliamentary press gallery,

00:18:20.780 usually we are never given

00:18:22.360 an actual reason as to why

00:18:24.300 we're being denied entry

00:18:25.680 into everything from UN conferences

00:18:28.020 to the Standing Committee

00:18:29.480 on Justice and Human Rights

00:18:30.980 to even a media event

00:18:33.000 celebrating World Press Freedom Day.

00:18:36.940 It's usually just

00:18:38.060 you have to leave now.

00:18:40.040 How perverse.

00:18:41.280 Back in 2015

00:18:42.180 we were promised sunny ways,

00:18:44.220 my friends, sunny ways.

00:18:45.580 So why does Canada

00:18:47.260 increasingly feel

00:18:48.560 like an overcast day

00:18:50.040 in North Korea right now?

00:18:52.260 And joining me now

00:18:53.260 in our studio

00:18:54.160 is our roping reporter

00:18:55.420 Ian Bexty,

00:18:56.680 one of the latest rebels

00:18:58.000 to be given the bum's rush. 0.80

00:18:59.700 Well, you're always welcome here, Kian.

00:19:01.680 Thank you, David.

00:19:02.720 My pleasure.

00:19:03.720 Now, listen,

00:19:04.620 take us back

00:19:05.560 to that day in Washington.

00:19:07.900 You've already been granted access

00:19:10.040 basically to the highest levels

00:19:12.160 of U.S. government.

00:19:13.400 No problem.

00:19:14.280 Easy peasy.

00:19:15.640 And yet you go

00:19:16.500 to this office

00:19:17.860 manned and operated

00:19:19.580 by your own country.

00:19:21.580 And as we saw

00:19:22.240 on the videotape

00:19:23.160 that, you know,

00:19:25.700 that big guy

00:19:26.920 with the sunglasses

00:19:27.780 comes out

00:19:29.000 and just tells you

00:19:30.160 to scram

00:19:30.780 and the reason

00:19:31.560 he tells you to scram

00:19:32.660 is he's likening you

00:19:34.820 to, what,

00:19:35.300 a neo-Nazi?

00:19:36.720 I mean,

00:19:37.640 Kian,

00:19:37.940 what were you thinking

00:19:39.160 at that point?

00:19:40.060 Well, I don't want

00:19:41.140 to give him too much credit.

00:19:41.920 He's not that big of a man.

00:19:43.160 He's kind of this

00:19:43.820 weaselly PMO staffer.

00:19:45.820 He wasn't even

00:19:46.220 a security guard.

00:19:47.060 He was a partisan

00:19:48.660 political staffer

00:19:50.260 who kicked me

00:19:51.060 out of my own embassy.

00:19:52.160 Oh, I see.

00:19:52.700 It's disgraceful

00:19:53.580 what he did.

00:19:54.060 I'm still frustrated

00:19:55.360 when I think

00:19:55.780 about what happened

00:19:56.460 that I could go

00:19:57.460 to the White House

00:19:58.200 and I was welcomed

00:20:00.320 with open arms

00:20:01.140 by the Donald Trump

00:20:01.900 administration.

00:20:02.620 It was spectacular.

00:20:03.780 It's because they respect

00:20:04.520 the First Amendment,

00:20:05.320 but of course we don't

00:20:05.960 have that in Canada.

00:20:06.820 Yes.

00:20:07.240 And when we were

00:20:07.760 at the embassy,

00:20:08.520 Canadian rules applied

00:20:09.680 and that means

00:20:11.580 Justin Trudeau's rules applied

00:20:12.920 and if you're not

00:20:14.040 in the bought-out media,

00:20:16.240 you're in the banned media

00:20:17.540 and we're in the latter.

00:20:19.100 You know, Kian,

00:20:20.000 as a matter of fact,

00:20:21.560 not only do we have,

00:20:22.960 do we not have

00:20:24.020 the First Amendment

00:20:25.040 or anything like it,

00:20:26.360 but increasingly,

00:20:27.480 if you look at what's happening,

00:20:29.100 Motion 103,

00:20:31.120 the Standing Committee

00:20:32.840 on Justice and Human Rights

00:20:34.060 I alluded to

00:20:35.000 in the introduction,

00:20:36.080 that's where I went

00:20:36.880 earlier this month

00:20:37.740 to cover it.

00:20:38.520 This is about bringing back

00:20:40.100 the odious anti-free speech

00:20:42.660 pro-censorship section 13

00:20:44.820 of the Canadian Human Rights Act.

00:20:47.480 Essentially,

00:20:48.360 you can be taken to a kangaroo

00:20:50.640 human rights tribunal

00:20:51.980 for hurt feelings.

00:20:53.480 So far be it from

00:20:54.620 the First Amendment,

00:20:55.860 we're going the polar opposite way.

00:20:57.940 We are seeing a clampdown

00:20:59.900 of free speech in this country

00:21:02.200 and I haven't even gotten

00:21:03.020 into the whole social media

00:21:04.440 aspect here.

00:21:06.100 Does this worry you

00:21:07.700 moving forward

00:21:08.520 A, as a Canadian

00:21:09.660 and B, as a journalist

00:21:10.760 just trying to do your job?

00:21:12.760 Of course it does.

00:21:13.680 I mean,

00:21:14.040 at the end of the day,

00:21:15.760 Canadians are better served

00:21:16.920 when they have

00:21:17.620 a variety of ideas

00:21:18.860 and opinions

00:21:19.940 to sift through

00:21:21.000 and determine

00:21:21.540 what they,

00:21:23.180 you know,

00:21:23.760 what they think is factual,

00:21:24.900 what they think is funny

00:21:26.020 or whatever,

00:21:27.340 you know,

00:21:27.660 and silencing

00:21:28.800 certain journalists

00:21:30.040 because they're critical

00:21:31.660 of your government

00:21:32.340 is just doing

00:21:33.520 a disservice

00:21:34.040 to Canadians.

00:21:34.940 It's taking ideas

00:21:36.380 out of the marketplace

00:21:37.300 and it's creating

00:21:39.200 a monopoly,

00:21:40.260 a fabricated monopoly

00:21:41.960 for your ideology

00:21:44.500 and that's

00:21:45.140 Justin Trudeauism

00:21:46.080 right now.

00:21:46.900 And, you know,

00:21:47.900 from going from

00:21:48.880 sunny ways

00:21:49.660 to slimy ways,

00:21:50.860 I again refer to

00:21:51.900 that Standing Committee

00:21:52.740 on Justice and Human Rights,

00:21:54.640 my cameraman,

00:21:55.660 Efron and I,

00:21:56.620 we drove all the way

00:21:57.860 from Toronto to Ottawa

00:21:58.900 to cover that

00:21:59.700 a day ahead of time.

00:22:01.720 We applied

00:22:02.180 through the proper channels

00:22:03.120 for the press credentials.

00:22:04.640 Here's the slimy thing

00:22:05.640 I didn't like,

00:22:06.780 Kian,

00:22:07.040 and I think it speaks volumes.

00:22:09.000 They denied us

00:22:10.040 our press credentials

00:22:11.140 20 minutes

00:22:12.580 before the committee

00:22:13.860 was set to sit.

00:22:16.460 We still went in

00:22:17.260 as members of the public,

00:22:18.420 mind you,

00:22:18.820 so it was all for naught.

00:22:20.860 But not only

00:22:22.260 are they denying us

00:22:24.180 entry for,

00:22:25.920 and I don't think

00:22:26.580 they have any right

00:22:27.660 to do so,

00:22:28.820 but it's the way

00:22:29.660 in which they're doing it.

00:22:31.040 You know,

00:22:31.460 we're going to

00:22:32.120 make you drive to Ottawa,

00:22:33.340 we're going to make you

00:22:33.940 fly to Poland,

00:22:35.020 fly to Morocco,

00:22:36.080 and once you land,

00:22:37.160 ha ha,

00:22:37.980 guess what,

00:22:38.500 you're not getting in.

00:22:39.600 This is beyond petty.

00:22:41.440 It is petty.

00:22:42.440 And it's not even

00:22:43.740 just Canadians, right?

00:22:44.860 It's happening

00:22:46.940 all around the world.

00:22:47.900 It's happening

00:22:48.340 in the United States

00:22:48.960 just today,

00:22:50.000 and I'm not sure

00:22:50.600 when this is going to air,

00:22:51.460 I think Friday.

00:22:52.820 Just today,

00:22:53.700 which is Wednesday,

00:22:55.600 the Donald subreddit

00:22:57.640 on Reddit

00:22:58.160 was just banned.

00:22:59.480 It was de-platformed

00:23:01.080 the day before

00:23:02.880 the democratic debates

00:23:04.160 in the United States,

00:23:05.520 which is terrifying

00:23:06.420 to think of

00:23:06.920 because, you know,

00:23:07.740 Reddit is a little bit

00:23:08.680 of a left-leaning website,

00:23:10.460 but there's this huge group

00:23:11.960 of people who share,

00:23:13.640 you know,

00:23:14.140 memes, posts,

00:23:15.340 stories,

00:23:16.060 and opinions

00:23:16.600 that has just been

00:23:17.740 wiped off the face

00:23:18.660 of the earth.

00:23:19.380 It's scary what's happening

00:23:20.800 in the U.S.,

00:23:21.120 and it's happening everywhere,

00:23:22.160 not just in Canada.

00:23:22.900 Yeah,

00:23:23.480 and, you know,

00:23:24.260 this, I think,

00:23:25.740 is going to be

00:23:26.420 one of the biggest issues

00:23:28.000 moving forward

00:23:28.900 as it pertains

00:23:30.780 to social media,

00:23:31.940 and that is

00:23:32.840 what happens

00:23:34.460 in the public square.

00:23:37.000 We have basically

00:23:38.680 very left-leaning

00:23:40.560 social media companies

00:23:41.800 in Silicon Valley,

00:23:43.800 Google, YouTube,

00:23:45.020 Twitter,

00:23:45.580 and the like,

00:23:46.680 and they're actually,

00:23:48.420 they're not even shy

00:23:49.460 about admitting,

00:23:51.080 like, if you say to them,

00:23:52.200 did you,

00:23:52.880 it looks to us

00:23:53.800 like you're deplatforming

00:23:54.880 right of center voices,

00:23:56.060 they go,

00:23:56.660 yeah, and your issue is?

00:23:58.840 What I'm getting at

00:24:00.000 is that I think

00:24:01.020 this is only going

00:24:01.820 to worsen,

00:24:02.740 and again,

00:24:03.320 going back to U.S. law,

00:24:05.260 because they have

00:24:05.880 the First Amendment,

00:24:07.200 I'm wondering

00:24:07.920 if we are going

00:24:09.100 to see something

00:24:10.060 in the years ahead,

00:24:12.100 perhaps,

00:24:12.740 much like more than

00:24:13.600 100 years ago

00:24:14.440 in the U.S.,

00:24:15.540 antitrust legislation

00:24:17.320 was invoked

00:24:18.320 to break up Standard Oil

00:24:19.760 into something like

00:24:20.600 31 or 34 companies,

00:24:22.720 that these social media titans

00:24:25.120 are, you know,

00:24:26.720 they're playing with fire

00:24:27.740 because even more so

00:24:29.780 than Standard Oil,

00:24:31.260 free speech

00:24:32.000 is indeed protected

00:24:33.260 by the Constitution.

00:24:35.380 Do you see this scenario

00:24:36.880 going this direction,

00:24:38.440 perhaps?

00:24:38.500 Well, God,

00:24:38.840 I hope so,

00:24:39.640 because we're coming

00:24:41.600 to a point

00:24:42.120 where conservatives

00:24:43.580 have no option,

00:24:44.860 you know,

00:24:45.100 and Canadians

00:24:46.360 are going to just,

00:24:47.600 and, well,

00:24:48.340 not just Canadians,

00:24:49.460 as I said,

00:24:50.220 they're going to start

00:24:50.920 only seeing

00:24:51.840 left-wing drivel

00:24:53.080 pumped through

00:24:53.640 their social media.

00:24:55.020 And, you know,

00:24:55.520 you just have to talk

00:24:57.060 about what happened

00:24:58.280 with the Veritas project

00:24:59.960 when they exposed Google

00:25:01.900 for calling Jordan Peterson

00:25:03.720 and a bunch of 0.94

00:25:04.720 Jewish people Nazis 0.97

00:25:06.080 and saying that

00:25:07.420 they were going

00:25:07.860 to de-platform them,

00:25:08.880 de-platform them,

00:25:09.980 but not explicitly saying

00:25:11.800 you're not welcome

00:25:12.400 on our platform,

00:25:13.240 but more insidiously

00:25:15.000 shadow banning them.

00:25:15.820 So they keep acting,

00:25:17.140 you know,

00:25:17.400 they keep producing content,

00:25:19.000 but their audiences

00:25:19.880 just disappear

00:25:20.680 because their content

00:25:22.320 is not showing up

00:25:23.300 on their feeds.

00:25:24.340 It's scary, frankly.

00:25:26.520 You know,

00:25:27.320 it is scary,

00:25:28.840 and what I find

00:25:30.560 perversely amusing,

00:25:33.120 Kian,

00:25:33.880 in terms of the 0.97

00:25:34.940 staggering hypocrisy 0.73

00:25:36.560 is the left apologizes 0.96

00:25:39.280 for this by saying,

00:25:40.680 oh, come on,

00:25:41.520 these are private companies,

00:25:43.060 let the free market economy

00:25:44.660 function as it's meant to.

00:25:47.300 Oh, the same people

00:25:48.380 that want the government

00:25:49.360 in every aspect

00:25:50.260 of our life,

00:25:51.120 the same people

00:25:51.860 that campaign

00:25:53.460 even for communism today,

00:25:56.060 suddenly when it comes

00:25:57.300 to social media,

00:25:58.400 oh, it's the free market

00:26:00.440 should decide everything.

00:26:01.680 Don't you find that stunning?

00:26:02.960 Yeah, how about

00:26:03.540 the free market decides

00:26:04.780 how much carbon

00:26:05.480 gets put into the atmosphere

00:26:06.760 and then see

00:26:07.660 what they're going to say?

00:26:08.560 They're going to say,

00:26:09.140 oh, no, we need to regulate it. 0.95

00:26:10.940 So, God, 0.99

00:26:12.120 they're hypocrites, 1.00

00:26:12.860 every single one of them. 1.00

00:26:13.780 Yeah, they love

00:26:14.920 the nanny state

00:26:15.660 until the nanny state

00:26:16.920 doesn't work for them.

00:26:18.080 But, you know,

00:26:18.520 getting back to the issue

00:26:20.020 at hand,

00:26:20.800 I'm just wondering,

00:26:22.500 you know,

00:26:23.200 time will tell, of course,

00:26:24.540 if we do get regime change

00:26:26.080 in Ottawa

00:26:26.580 come October 21st.

00:26:29.360 But in the meantime,

00:26:31.400 I would suggest

00:26:33.040 that this is the template

00:26:35.140 for us here at The Rebel.

00:26:37.220 We are anything involving

00:26:39.180 the Trudeau liberals

00:26:41.220 and for that matter,

00:26:42.900 the media party.

00:26:44.900 Because we,

00:26:46.640 on Friday,

00:26:47.700 Efron and I went to

00:26:48.740 a Trudeau Eid dinner event

00:26:51.000 and we were the only media

00:26:52.740 that got kicked out,

00:26:53.780 never given a valid reason.

00:26:55.940 But what really bothered me,

00:26:57.920 Kian,

00:26:58.540 is that the media,

00:27:01.020 the other members of the media

00:27:02.060 saw the circus

00:27:03.080 that was unfolding

00:27:03.980 with us getting the bums rush.

00:27:06.340 And do you think

00:27:06.880 even one of them

00:27:07.760 did what I would have done,

00:27:10.060 which would be

00:27:10.640 to interject myself

00:27:11.580 in the argument

00:27:12.120 and say something like,

00:27:13.620 hey, listen,

00:27:14.160 if you're kicking him

00:27:15.060 or her out, 0.99

00:27:16.120 we're all going to walk out.

00:27:17.380 But no,

00:27:18.200 it is like they are

00:27:20.040 bought and paid for

00:27:21.600 and existing

00:27:22.720 as state stenographers.

00:27:24.260 They quite literally

00:27:25.360 are bought and paid for.

00:27:26.760 Like I said,

00:27:27.640 they're either bought

00:27:28.440 or they're banned

00:27:29.940 by Trudeau.

00:27:31.000 So it's sad.

00:27:32.980 And it's something

00:27:33.600 that we're going to turn,

00:27:35.000 this is, yeah,

00:27:35.680 I mean,

00:27:36.400 we're moving to a point

00:27:38.900 where we can't rely

00:27:40.840 on press galleries,

00:27:42.620 we can't rely on

00:27:43.520 social media platforms,

00:27:44.420 and we're going to have

00:27:45.460 to rely on emailing lists

00:27:46.760 where it's like

00:27:47.160 we're going to go back

00:27:47.780 to 2000

00:27:48.340 when the only way

00:27:48.960 we can communicate

00:27:49.560 with people

00:27:50.080 consistently

00:27:52.340 is emailing.

00:27:54.580 Yeah, you know,

00:27:55.160 we're going to have

00:27:55.580 to wrap it there.

00:27:56.360 We're running out of time,

00:27:57.820 Kian. 0.52

00:27:58.180 I would suggest this.

00:27:59.560 I think the Trudeau Liberals

00:28:00.900 right now are using

00:28:01.980 the carrot and the stick.

00:28:04.680 The carrot is

00:28:05.360 $1.5 billion to the CBC,

00:28:07.580 $600 million for the rest of you.

00:28:09.820 Play ball with your Uncle Justin

00:28:11.560 in Ottawa

00:28:12.060 and everything's all right, mate.

00:28:14.400 But if you don't play ball,

00:28:15.660 well, you know what?

00:28:16.480 There's this little thing

00:28:17.180 we can do with our friends

00:28:18.020 in Silicon Valley,

00:28:18.900 called de-platforming.

00:28:21.100 And I think given

00:28:21.720 the state of media today,

00:28:23.500 if I'm a journalist

00:28:24.400 in one of those organizations,

00:28:25.940 there's no other jobs.

00:28:27.660 I think I'll just be

00:28:28.680 a good little soldier

00:28:29.600 and play ball.

00:28:31.540 And to me,

00:28:32.820 it's like a soft form

00:28:34.300 of censorship.

00:28:35.040 In fact,

00:28:35.340 it's even worse, my friend.

00:28:36.740 It is self-censorship.

00:28:38.300 Your thoughts in 20 seconds,

00:28:39.600 my friend.

00:28:40.620 Self-censorship

00:28:42.020 in terms of

00:28:42.960 the Prime Minister's office

00:28:44.400 censoring.

00:28:45.020 Oh, no,

00:28:45.500 of the media themselves,

00:28:46.660 not moving forward

00:28:48.180 with stories.

00:28:49.740 Well, I mean,

00:28:50.540 the media can do

00:28:51.320 what they want.

00:28:52.160 That's why they're being

00:28:52.860 labeled the legacy media

00:28:54.500 at this point.

00:28:55.620 They're a dying breed.

00:28:58.020 Alternative media

00:28:58.700 is taking a huge chunk

00:28:59.820 of their viewership

00:29:00.400 and they're absolutely

00:29:01.020 terrified by that.

00:29:02.240 You can just look at

00:29:02.920 our coverage

00:29:03.500 of the Alberta election

00:29:04.360 and see that we had

00:29:05.060 more viewers than the CBC.

00:29:06.840 We had the most viewed

00:29:07.800 video that came out

00:29:09.240 of that whole election.

00:29:10.520 The media is dying

00:29:11.560 and it's because

00:29:12.180 of the way they're acting.

00:29:13.740 A hundred percent.

00:29:14.340 Kian, thank you so much

00:29:15.720 for dropping by.

00:29:16.740 I have no idea

00:29:17.420 where your next destination

00:29:18.340 is when you get back

00:29:19.320 to Pearson Airport,

00:29:20.400 but thank you so much.

00:29:21.320 And folks, keep it here.

00:29:22.440 More of Rebel Roundup

00:29:23.300 to come right after this.

00:29:24.620 You have to leave right now.

00:29:33.940 Well, yeah, I'm asking

00:29:35.300 the reason for the difference, sir.

00:29:37.120 Because you have to leave

00:29:38.100 right now.

00:29:38.540 This is a private event

00:29:39.400 and I'm sorry you...

00:29:41.040 It's a private event

00:29:42.020 open to media, obviously.

00:29:43.520 I see all the cameras here.

00:29:45.560 It's not open to everyone.

00:29:47.160 It's not open to you, sir.

00:29:48.800 Yeah, quote,

00:29:50.160 it's not open to everyone.

00:29:52.280 It's not open to you, end quote.

00:29:55.380 Yet, why was that

00:29:56.700 Eid Mubarak dinner in Toronto

00:29:58.440 featuring guest of honour

00:29:59.780 Justin Trudeau

00:30:00.700 not open to all media?

00:30:03.840 Well, if you watch the video, folks,

00:30:05.540 in its entirety, that is,

00:30:06.880 the default answer is simply,

00:30:08.600 quote,

00:30:09.520 you have to leave, end quote,

00:30:11.200 which, of course, is a non-answer.

00:30:13.380 However, I must point out

00:30:15.080 that later in our interview,

00:30:16.580 Mr. Bass of the Canadian Muslim Vote,

00:30:19.060 which organised this

00:30:20.240 jolly jihad of joy,

00:30:21.620 implies that

00:30:22.840 since we are not

00:30:23.760 a member of Unifor,

00:30:25.240 that giant union

00:30:26.300 that represents

00:30:27.260 some journalists in Canada,

00:30:29.200 then we are not

00:30:30.100 real media.

00:30:32.200 Interesting.

00:30:33.380 Oh, and by the way,

00:30:34.580 Unifor happened to be

00:30:35.860 one of the sponsors

00:30:36.880 of the Eid Mubarak dinner.

00:30:39.440 Funny how that works, eh?

00:30:41.380 Oh, well,

00:30:42.020 as General Motors employees

00:30:43.360 in Oshawa receive

00:30:44.360 their pink slips

00:30:45.200 as their plant is mothballed

00:30:46.840 later this year,

00:30:47.880 I'm sure they will take

00:30:49.180 great comfort in knowing

00:30:50.420 that their union dues

00:30:52.080 are being well spent

00:30:53.280 propping up an Islamic 1.00

00:30:54.780 organisation known as

00:30:56.560 the Canadian Muslim Vote.

00:30:59.460 In any event,

00:31:00.580 here's what some of you

00:31:01.640 had to say about how

00:31:02.840 only one media outlet

00:31:04.440 that evening,

00:31:05.640 little Olaz,

00:31:06.880 was told to take a long walk

00:31:08.600 off a short pier.

00:31:10.700 Ray Moyes writes,

00:31:11.800 he's asking the questions

00:31:13.600 they do not like,

00:31:14.760 so he has to leave.

00:31:15.800 Yes, welcome to

00:31:16.780 Freedom of the Press,

00:31:17.700 Trudeau style in 2019.

00:31:20.100 Namely, be a good little

00:31:21.740 well-behaved state

00:31:22.800 sanctioned stenographer,

00:31:24.760 and then you can come in

00:31:26.000 for all the lamb chops

00:31:27.180 you can devour.

00:31:28.300 But if you choose

00:31:29.620 to give the other side

00:31:31.140 of the story

00:31:31.700 or offer contrarian opinions,

00:31:34.720 well, you are promptly

00:31:36.120 deemed media non grata.

00:31:38.880 This is not conjecture.

00:31:40.180 These Liberals have actually

00:31:42.080 banned rebel reporters

00:31:43.420 from covering UN conferences abroad.

00:31:47.140 Something I tried to address

00:31:48.460 last month with Miriam Monsef

00:31:50.320 on World Press Freedom Day,

00:31:52.700 if you can believe it.

00:31:55.000 Hi, Mr. Monsef.

00:31:56.740 David Benzies with Rebel Media.

00:31:58.420 Just a quick question.

00:31:59.820 The United Nations told our reporters

00:32:04.640 they were banned from covering

00:32:06.340 their conferences due to

00:32:08.420 a directive from the Canadian government.

00:32:11.520 Do you support that?

00:32:13.000 I hope you support

00:32:13.940 what we're doing here today,

00:32:15.440 which is ensuring freedom

00:32:16.700 of expression

00:32:17.360 and an independent free press

00:32:19.000 for your colleagues

00:32:20.020 around the world.

00:32:21.080 But that's precisely the point.

00:32:22.680 We travelled to Morocco,

00:32:24.760 we travelled to Poland,

00:32:25.700 and we were shut out

00:32:27.120 of UN conferences

00:32:28.620 because of an edict

00:32:29.800 from your government.

00:32:30.840 Does that sound like

00:32:31.600 world press freedom

00:32:32.880 to you, Minister?

00:32:33.580 What we're doing today

00:32:35.020 is supporting an independent

00:32:36.620 and free press

00:32:37.860 in some of the most

00:32:38.740 troubled regions of the world,

00:32:40.780 and I have no doubt

00:32:42.040 that you rejoice

00:32:43.000 in this investment

00:32:43.940 and this initiative.

00:32:45.260 Well, you know,

00:32:45.980 but how do you square the fact

00:32:48.060 that you won't even let

00:32:49.540 Canadian journalists

00:32:50.580 that might have

00:32:51.840 a dissenting opinion

00:32:52.860 about things like

00:32:53.940 immigration and climate change

00:32:55.860 to attend UN conferences?

00:32:58.020 And here you are

00:32:59.100 advocating for

00:33:00.420 World Press Freedom Day.

00:33:01.700 Thank you.

00:33:02.520 Thanks very much.

00:33:03.580 This doesn't look like

00:33:04.500 a lot of freedom, ladies. 1.00

00:33:06.300 Well, she's in her

00:33:06.840 private area now.

00:33:07.640 Thank you very much.

00:33:08.500 Oh, and par for the course,

00:33:09.640 after Monsef's 0.98

00:33:10.580 non-answers to us,

00:33:11.740 we were, yes,

00:33:12.620 frog-marched out

00:33:13.700 the building yet again.

00:33:15.900 Happy World Press

00:33:16.840 Freedom Day, everybody.

00:33:18.700 Jeff H. writes,

00:33:20.280 I wonder if Omar Cotter

00:33:21.640 will be the guest of honour.

00:33:23.340 Funny you should say that, Jeff.

00:33:24.720 Prior to our encounter

00:33:25.780 with Mr. Bass,

00:33:26.800 we did streeters

00:33:27.720 in the venue's parking lot.

00:33:29.500 We asked numerous attendees

00:33:30.800 if they thought

00:33:31.580 Omar Cotter was innocent.

00:33:33.600 Get this.

00:33:34.820 Not one person

00:33:36.280 attending this Eid event

00:33:37.900 would answer that question.

00:33:39.720 Not a single one.

00:33:41.100 What's the matter? 0.91

00:33:41.520 Can I cut your tongue? 1.00

00:33:43.040 Marty No BS writes,

00:33:45.160 Hey, soy boy,

00:33:46.060 I thought diversity

00:33:46.960 was our strength.

00:33:48.000 I guess that doesn't

00:33:49.080 apply to journalism.

00:33:50.900 Yeah, Marty,

00:33:51.720 but that diversity

00:33:52.880 is our strength,

00:33:53.720 chestnut,

00:33:54.260 only applies to such factors

00:33:56.040 as race, religion,

00:33:57.140 and nationality,

00:33:58.400 not thoughts.

00:33:59.120 In the liberal lexicon,

00:34:00.980 there is precious

00:34:02.140 little tolerance

00:34:03.120 for diversity of opinions.

00:34:05.680 That might prove,

00:34:07.060 you know,

00:34:07.680 dangerous

00:34:08.120 when it comes

00:34:09.360 to progressive ideology.

00:34:11.040 So let's all be

00:34:12.500 non-diverse on the inside,

00:34:14.700 but ultra-diverse

00:34:16.520 on the outside.

00:34:18.080 Wow,

00:34:18.880 you're even more diverse

00:34:20.140 than me.

00:34:20.960 You're promoted.

00:34:22.760 Hey,

00:34:23.400 that promotion

00:34:24.320 was for me.

00:34:25.460 Sorry, Todd.

00:34:29.520 Jay Zen writes, 1.00

00:34:31.460 Liberalism is a mental pathology. 0.99

00:34:33.880 They all act the same way. 1.00

00:34:35.360 Fake smile while walking away

00:34:36.980 or fake ignorance

00:34:37.940 while walking away

00:34:38.880 or get angry

00:34:39.880 and demand you

00:34:40.960 to walk away.

00:34:42.140 Hilarious.

00:34:43.100 Smell the tolerance.

00:34:44.940 Thank you, David.

00:34:45.740 You rock, sir.

00:34:47.480 Best journalist in Canada,

00:34:49.100 hands down.

00:34:49.780 Oh, wow.

00:34:50.720 Jay Zen,

00:34:51.280 what a compliment.

00:34:52.100 But before I rest

00:34:52.980 on my laurels here,

00:34:53.960 here comes a reality chat

00:34:55.880 from Eric Krupa

00:34:57.320 who is not at all

00:34:58.680 sympathetic to our plight.

00:35:00.300 Eric writes,

00:35:01.560 I don't blame anyone

00:35:02.800 for turning away your crew

00:35:04.200 if anyone has done

00:35:05.260 any research at all.

00:35:07.040 They are very much aware

00:35:08.000 that Rebel Media

00:35:08.740 is not on site

00:35:10.220 to perform journalism.

00:35:12.000 You guys specialize

00:35:12.940 in incitement

00:35:14.260 and politically skewed rhetoric

00:35:16.080 which can easily be done

00:35:18.060 from the laptop

00:35:18.820 in your living room.

00:35:20.300 Well, Eric,

00:35:21.180 it would really,

00:35:22.240 really help your argument

00:35:23.140 if you are able

00:35:24.100 to cite some examples

00:35:25.700 pertaining to our

00:35:27.000 supposed lust 0.88

00:35:27.980 for incitement.

00:35:29.900 And seriously,

00:35:31.160 do you think

00:35:32.200 for a single nanosecond

00:35:33.660 that the likes

00:35:34.880 of the CBC

00:35:35.560 and the Toronto Star

00:35:36.640 don't have a politicized bias

00:35:39.160 when they cover the news?

00:35:40.820 I mean,

00:35:41.520 as they say

00:35:42.240 down on the Midway,

00:35:43.360 my friend,

00:35:43.900 let's not kid

00:35:44.900 the kidders here.

00:35:46.260 But the thing is,

00:35:47.260 even if I were

00:35:47.760 to accept your argument

00:35:48.660 when it comes

00:35:49.360 to the business

00:35:50.480 of a gatekeeper

00:35:51.460 that would be entrusted

00:35:52.900 with picking

00:35:53.620 and choosing

00:35:54.300 those organizations

00:35:55.900 that are so-called

00:35:57.260 real media outlets,

00:35:59.560 well, just who, pray tell,

00:36:01.680 gets that job?

00:36:03.020 Would it be

00:36:03.360 the Unifor Union?

00:36:04.900 The Trudeau Liberals?

00:36:06.420 Some Ottawa bureaucracy

00:36:07.560 like the Canadian 0.82

00:36:08.540 Human Rights Commission?

00:36:10.220 If so,

00:36:11.140 I think back

00:36:11.980 to one of the few

00:36:12.860 Latin phrases I know,

00:36:14.520 but it's a profound one.

00:36:15.820 Oh, by the way, folks,

00:36:24.240 I learned all my Latin phrases

00:36:26.060 from Justice League cartoons,

00:36:28.040 and perhaps that's fitting

00:36:29.400 given we are increasingly

00:36:30.980 living in a cartoonish world.

00:36:33.980 Well, that wraps up

00:36:35.220 another edition of Rebel Roundup.

00:36:36.680 Thanks so much for joining us.

00:36:37.920 See you next week.

00:36:38.680 And hey, folks,

00:36:39.340 never forget,

00:36:40.600 without risk,

00:36:41.320 there can be no glory.

00:36:42.380 And in the meantime,

00:36:43.980 I wish all of you

00:36:45.180 a very happy

00:36:46.060 and joyous Dominion Day.

00:36:48.020 Make it special.

00:36:49.180 Good night.
