Sheila Gunn-Reed and Kian Bextie join host David Menzies to discuss Stephen Gilbo's call for media outlets to register with the Liberal government. Plus, a look at the return of the "Freak Show."
00:02:35.340We get them every minute of every day.
00:02:37.360And I'll share some of your responses regarding my visit to the striking rank-and-file who comprise the Toronto Catholic District School Board,
00:02:46.360some of whom are actually engaged in the indoctrination of their pupils,
00:02:51.240actually getting them to write letters to Ontario Premier Doug Ford reciting Union Talking Points.
00:03:25.700Now, he says that he doesn't want to do these things sometimes, and other times he admits it plain as day.
00:03:31.720You can't trust him because this criminal, like most criminals, are liars.
00:03:36.820Now, you might recognize Stephen Gilboa from his recent media appearances, and they have all been horrendous.
00:03:44.300He's cleaned up a little bit since his time in the back of cop cars, but not by a lot.
00:03:49.380Stephen Gilboa was arrested when he was 31 years old for scaling the CN Tower.
00:03:53.880Now, I shouldn't say scaling the CN Tower.
00:03:55.600He only was able to climb about 300 feet.
00:03:57.880Very low energy, if I do say so myself.
00:04:00.460But he stopped doing that recently, and the mainstream media can't get enough of them.
00:04:04.080Actually, they've forgiven him for what he's done, writing puff pieces every chance that they get.
00:04:09.100And now that Stephen Gilboa has shown his true colors, well, now the media is just a little bit concerned that there's a criminal in Justin Trudeau's cabinet.
00:04:16.520None of them, though, are more concerned than myself and my colleagues at Rebel News.
00:04:21.720You see, we're concerned because Stephen Gilboa says he wants media or news organizations to register with the government.
00:04:28.640We're not sure which one, and frankly, it might not even matter.
00:04:32.820The Trudeau government has made it clear that they don't consider Rebel News to be news.
00:04:38.500Of course, we won, but that was just one court battle about one debate during one election.
00:04:44.480Stephen Gilboa is talking about mass censorship, perhaps even ending the ability of some media companies to produce content in Canada if they don't fall in line with the government.
00:04:55.020It is a very slippery slope, and nobody can make heads or tails about what this liberal incompetent is saying.
00:05:13.040Well, I mean, one of the recommendations, so you're talking about a couple of different things here,
00:05:18.340but as far as the licensing is concerned, is if you're a distributor of content in Canada,
00:05:23.640and obviously, you know, if you're a very small media organization, the requirement probably wouldn't be the same as if you're Facebook or Google.
00:05:35.500So there would have to be some proportionality embedded into this.
00:05:40.860But we would ask that they have a license, yes.
00:05:43.720What are you saying is not going to happen?
00:05:45.120Well, you said on a parlance here, what exactly will you not do to assure people?
00:05:48.700Well, what we are saying is that we will not ask news organizations to have license.
00:05:59.700We would ask that they have a license, yes.
00:06:01.660Yeah, clear as an azure sky over an un-mudied body of water, wasn't it, folks?
00:06:09.240And this is the guy who wants to presumably regulate us, as well as several other media outlets?
00:08:16.940And when he says news outlets, does that include outlets such as, well, frankly, us or Breitbart that are news and opinion?
00:08:26.760This is what's missing from this statement, in my opinion.
00:08:31.700Yeah, that's a great point because according to Justin Trudeau, according to Rachel Notley, the former premier of Alberta,
00:08:37.620and any left-wing politician in this country, they'll likely say that Rebel News is not news.
00:08:45.000And that's concerning to me personally because I won't work for a company that registers with the government to say the things that they do.
00:08:55.800And I'm sure that Rebel News will not be registering at all, and we'll take it to the Supreme Court if we have to do that.
00:09:03.520That's a very good question and a question that the minister needs to answer.
00:09:07.580Perhaps I'll have to go knock on his door and ask him a few questions.
00:09:10.760Yeah, and I think it was made all the worse, Kian, that in another report, the prime minister, Justin Trudeau, said words to the effect of,
00:09:20.020well, trusted news organizations don't have to worry about this.
00:09:24.900Now we've gone from define a news organization to how do you define a trusted news organization?
00:09:32.520Does that mean, oh, I don't know, the CBC that gets $1.5 billion a year of government payola?
00:09:39.720I mean, that's another quagmire, I think, that this government has got themselves into, Kian.
00:09:46.820Yeah, it's straight out of Soviet Russia.
00:09:49.180We're going to have Pravda's here in Canada.
00:09:53.100The CBC is going to be first on the list.
00:09:55.380Rosemary Barton is going to be the truth speaker of the nation, and anyone else is going to have to have a label underneath them saying that they're fake news, according to Justin Trudeau.
00:10:09.240This is so clearly wrong that I cannot fathom this moving forward.
00:10:14.200If it does, the courts are going to be on our side, hopefully, and shut this down, because this flagrantly abuses the Constitution,
00:10:27.320and just the first sections of it guarantees our right to speak and guarantees that we don't need to be approved by the government in order to do our job.
00:29:48.880And that, folks, were some of the learned scholars who comprise the rank and file of the Toronto District Catholic School Board who were, yet again, out on strike.
00:31:32.520I spent more time in the principal's office when my sons were in school because they tried to make them follow what was being taught without question.
00:31:41.960Needless to say, I taught my kids critical thinking, and the more someone tries to sway you, the more research you need to do.
00:31:49.340They would order me, an adult, to sit and be quiet before I had opened my mouth.
00:31:54.760Needless to say, that didn't go well for them.
00:31:57.300Well, you know, Brenda, sounds like you are a very good mother to me.
00:31:59.980I hope that going to bat for your kids didn't adversely affect their marks, though.
00:32:04.620But not everyone was a fan of this segment.
00:32:13.800They are making classes too big, and also kids who used to be in a separate class because they needed extra help are now just kept in a regular class and fall further behind.
00:32:24.340This also hurts the rest of the kids in class because the teacher now needs to spend more time with the special needs.
00:32:30.500It sets the class behind and snowballs as the year goes on.
00:32:34.580And they actually did give them the 2%, but nothing else, and the union still said no.
00:32:40.860It's not about the money, it is about the kids.
00:32:43.360David, I love your work, but you're wrong on this one, buddy.
00:32:47.900If the government agreed to all of the demands made by the teachers' unions except the salary increase, would we have a deal on the table today?
00:32:56.920Well, my friend, I think the odds of that happening would make even the most reckless gambler cringe.
