Rebel News Podcast - Sheila and The Menzoid LIVE taking your comments and questions

00:00:00.000 It's March 22nd, and you're watching Battleground.

00:00:10.760 I think I was supposed to say Ezra Levent's Battleground, but then again, Ezra's not here.

00:00:15.740 It is me, David Menzies, and of course, I was about to say sidekick, but that would be the wrong kind of terminology.

00:00:23.320 We're complete equals here. Of course, it's not a Batman and Robin situation.

00:00:27.800 We're like Batman and Batgirl or Batwoman, if you prefer, and that would be Sheila Gunn-Reed out in Alberta.

00:00:35.220 And of course, we are filling in for Ezra Sheila because Ezra is once again doing very important work over in the UK covering yet more Tommy trial stuff.

00:00:47.840 Yeah, I had no idea where it is. First off, what he was doing and what he's up to today, I don't ever ask.

00:00:54.340 I just do when somebody tells me to do stuff. First off, I just want to let everybody at home know that I do work from a bunker in a log cabin in the middle of nowhere.

00:01:04.240 So if my Skype is a little glitchy, that's what you get when you're living off the grid.

00:01:10.060 And what we do here every Friday is we, well, Ezra normally hosts his live chat show.

00:01:18.380 What you can do if you want us to answer your questions or if you have comments to make, I'm not sure the levels of payment that you can make, but you can chip in a few bucks here and there.

00:01:29.980 And what it'll do is it'll tag your comment to the top of the page and David and I will be forced to read it or answer your question.

00:01:38.920 And it's a way for us to pay the bills. Yeah, go ahead.

00:01:41.800 It's not like we're being forced to read it, Sheila. We love reading our comments, especially if they are super chats, because that helps us keep the lights on.

00:01:49.680 We're not part of the $1.6 billion welfare case known as the CBC. We did not get the $595 million allotment share from the Trudeau Liberals budget to prop up the mainstream media.

00:02:05.760 So we are so beholden and very grateful to you, our listeners. So if you can chip in anything like Sheila said, that would be great.

00:02:13.980 So, Sheila, so much to talk about. And one of them, I thought, I received an interesting email two nights ago because my son attends a school in York Region.

00:02:28.420 And it was about a say no to hate conference. There you go. You can see it there on the screen, folks.

00:02:35.580 It's being put up by York Region District School Board, and it's in April. And it's all about saying no to hate, which I completely support.

00:02:48.220 But when they speak of hate, they are speaking, of course, of course, about terrorism.

00:02:53.420 But when they're speaking of terrorism, just check a look at the very first one, the dangers posed by right-wing extremism in our community.

00:03:06.380 Now, yeah, there is right-wing extremism. We saw one of the most horrific manifestations of that in Christchurch last Friday.

00:03:16.480 However, what about the other forms of extremism, you know, like radical Islam, you know, which is more and more backpedaled and downplayed and basically all out falsified as random acts of people suffering from mental illness.

00:03:39.820 And, of course, one of the speakers at this conference is Bernie Farber.

00:03:45.640 Let's put it this way, folks. Bernie Farber has never met a Human Rights Commission that he did not love to take part in.

00:03:53.740 He's very litigious. But it's all about right-wing, white nationalist extremism.

00:04:00.020 And yet, when you look around the world, when you do the actual body count, and there are websites that, you know, do track this, as you know, Sheila, the most profound form of terrorism are those people carrying it out in the name of Allah. 0.64

00:04:16.700 And that's not, of course, because I know our enemies will single in.

00:04:21.500 Oh, there you go again, bashing Muslims. No, not at all, because probably, actually, the single biggest victim group of Islamic terrorism is indeed Muslims.

00:04:32.000 So, Sheila, I'm just wondering, I don't know whether I can stomach going to this, you know, this conference, because I already know what's going to be said.

00:04:42.560 But it's kind of interesting to me, with all the heinous acts of terrorism, including here in the GTA, I mean, we had Alec Maziason run over 10 people and injure several more in a van going back to last April.

00:05:00.220 We had Faisal Hussein go on the Danforth. And by the way, that's a perfect example of the kind of narrative we get with Mr. Hussein being of his faith.

00:05:14.540 This was not done in the name of radical Islam, but he was suffering from mental illness.

00:05:20.820 And we know that because somehow the authorities behind the scene, and I never found the answer to this question, Sheila, were able to hire a spin doctor to craft a very polished press release that was sent out on behalf of the family,

00:05:35.940 who, of course, speak English as a second language and would never be capable of writing such a thing in the first place.

00:05:41.200 So I guess, Sheila, I'm throwing up my hands again at the hypocrisy that we see out there when it comes to not being able to name the elephant in the room.

00:05:54.200 Well, I think you should go to this thing. It's important for parents to be involved in all aspects of their children's lives, David.

00:06:00.980 But for another reason, I think you should go there and ask them to point out where these mass instances of right-wing, far-right-wing violence is happening.

00:06:13.260 I mean, you've got one lady, her name escapes me now, who's a keynote speaker at this little meeting, who claims it was on the Heritage Front.

00:06:21.840 Now, anybody who knows anything about the Heritage Front, it was sort of a prominent neo-Nazi group in the 1990s here in Canada.

00:06:33.860 But they were mostly RCMP officers and CSIS officers because the thing had been infiltrated by the RCMPs so that they could do recon and intelligence.

00:06:47.040 And one of the CSIS guys rose up to be one of the leaders of the group.

00:06:52.740 It was basically a bunch of undercover cops, and everybody thought that it was this massive, growing group,

00:07:01.300 when really it was just a bunch of undercover cops and inflating the numbers of the thing to scare everybody.

00:07:07.980 When I see these far-right-wing nationalist groups around and people are reporting on them,

00:07:16.080 I always think, well, that guy obviously is an unshaven RCMP officer, and that guy looks a little too perfect for the part.

00:07:23.620 I mean, you can sort of pick the undercover cops out of the crowd at these things.

00:07:27.220 But, and I think, you know, from the Heritage Front to now, I think a lot of the numbers on this stuff is inflated

00:07:34.780 because the supply of neo-Nazis just doesn't meet the demand these days.

00:07:40.060 No, you know, that's a great point.

00:07:41.980 I've heard of a similar story happening in the U.S., and I think in that case it was federal agents infiltrating Marxist groups.

00:07:50.000 And it became apparent that, like, 90% of the membership were various federal agents, you know,

00:07:57.280 and they didn't even know it at the time.

00:07:59.620 So it's kind of surreal that that happens.

00:08:03.100 But again, Sheila, I have no problem with a school board or a school having a conference talking about extremism and terrorism,

00:08:13.520 but it only seems to be one flavor that they're interested in.

00:08:18.620 And, I mean, when we look around the world, I mean, you know there are some cities and towns in Europe

00:08:25.300 that if you were to visibly walk around in as being of the Jewish faith, it would be unsafe for you. 1.00

00:08:34.660 Now, is it because of white nationalists in these cities or something else?

00:08:39.900 We all know it's something else.

00:08:41.560 Why can't we talk about that?

00:08:43.000 Why can't we talk about Muslims in Sudan killing Christians? 1.00

00:08:47.320 Why can't we talk about Muslims in the Middle East, in Afghanistan, killing other Muslims? 1.00

00:08:52.900 This is a no-fly topic, and I think it's insidious because we are just burying our heads in the sand

00:09:00.600 and ignoring, you know, the most profound flavor, if you will, of extremism that's in the world today.

00:09:07.160 Yeah, there will never be a reformation of radical Islam. 0.76

00:09:13.680 There will never be a purge of it from the Muslim religions, as long as we keep avoiding, like you say, the elephant in the room. 1.00

00:09:21.000 But we have a couple of super chats here, David.

00:09:22.780 Okay.

00:09:23.080 Okay, we have one from my friends at Proud Boys Calgary.

00:09:28.420 Those are good guys, good supporters of the show.

00:09:32.000 He remarks that you have a nice Proud Boy tie on, David.

00:09:36.240 Oh.

00:09:36.660 With the yellow and the black.

00:09:39.040 Do I owe somebody a royalty for that?

00:09:41.260 I had no idea.

00:09:42.300 No, it could also be your Transformers bumblebee tie, because you're a nerd like that.

00:09:48.160 Well, I get most of my ties at Value Village, as you know, because we're all supposed to be into recycling,

00:09:54.260 and I don't have a lot of money, so there.

00:09:58.460 Well, maybe we can get a raise if we do a really good job earning money on the super chats.

00:10:04.420 Did you hear that at home, everybody?

00:10:06.060 Did you hear that, folks?

00:10:06.780 Kian Bexty, our colleague, Kian Bexty, says something, something, Alberta election.

00:10:15.740 Ain't that the truth, Kian?

00:10:17.100 This is one of the sleaziest elections I've ever bore witness to, and we are, what, four days into it, maybe?

00:10:25.460 I mean, the mudslinging and, like, the level of hypocrisy already shown by the Alberta NDP is really outrageous.

00:10:35.520 But when you can't campaign on your record, that's what you get.

00:10:40.980 Like, they've dug up a quote that Jason Kenney made 20 years ago about something he did 30 years ago as some sort of reason to impugn him as this terrible mistreater of the LGBTQ community.

00:11:00.840 I mean, in 1968, Tommy Douglas did say that homosexuality was a mental illness, and those people had to be treated for their mental illness.

00:11:13.160 But, I mean...

00:11:14.380 Oh, but Tommy Douglas is a saint.

00:11:16.240 We can't bring up that from his deep, dark past, Sheila.

00:11:19.740 Right, right.

00:11:20.600 We can judge those people in the time in which they lived, in the context in which they said it, but that just doesn't, that same sort of sanity is never afforded to conservatives, is it?

00:11:33.440 I mean, we're supposed to all believe the NDP have changed their ways from five years ago when they were anti-oil campaigners.

00:11:43.500 But we can't say, well, Jason Kenney's views have come around on LGBTQ people, especially considering he spent the last, I don't know, 10 years advocating and rescuing persecuted sexual minorities, especially in the Middle East.

00:12:01.320 I mean, it's just ridiculous.

00:12:03.240 If they keep going back in time, they're going to accuse him of being the meteor that killed the dinosaurs.

00:12:08.880 Like, there is no limit to how far they're going to go back in time.

00:12:11.700 And, you know, this is a profound problem for me, Sheila, and we see it playing out in so many jurisdictions.

00:12:16.980 And, by the way, I want to thank Kian for weighing in on bringing up the, you know, how sorted the Albert election already is, even though we're only into day four.

00:12:26.140 But this idea of sleuths going back to somebody's, say, high school years, right, going through the yearbook, finding an off-color quote, maybe, that he made as a 17-year-old and going,

00:12:41.960 aha, you see, he's a, you know, a homophobe, he's a racist, he's a sexist.

00:12:48.280 You know, not taking into consideration that people change as they age and as they mature.

00:12:56.020 And I just think it's a suspect one.

00:12:58.380 I don't know when that's going to end.

00:12:59.920 And, of course, we believe in giving second chances to the people that do the most heinous things, number one being, of course, first-degree murder.

00:13:10.240 Once you've done your time, we're told he's paid his debt to society, you've got to give him his freedoms, you know, give him a job, let him be.

00:13:19.100 Terrorism, my goodness, Omar Khadr, as you pointed out in your expose, he's now got a stake in a shopping mall in Edmonton as part of his $10.5 million payout.

00:13:30.400 But if you've made a thought crime, even as a teenager in your distant past, that, Sheila, seems to be an unforgivable sin in which there can be no second chance given.

00:13:44.400 Well, and I don't make the rules for this sort of stuff, but I'm pretty sure they're pulling down statues of John A. MacDonald.

00:13:50.900 So if John A. MacDonald cannot be redeemed, then how come the NDP think that Tommy Douglas can be redeemed from his comments on homosexuality or eugenics, for that matter, and substandard people? 0.98

00:14:06.560 I mean, it's just, it really is just ridiculous.

00:14:09.600 The NDP themselves, I mean, a good portion of them weren't even born when Jason Kenney made those comments.

00:14:19.160 I mean, there's a substantial chunk of them that are under the age of 30.

00:14:24.020 The world has changed a lot.

00:14:26.240 People have changed a lot.

00:14:27.700 I've changed a lot in the last, I don't know, 20 years.

00:14:30.940 I mean, who hasn't?

00:14:33.020 Conservatives in Canada have gone from, you know, voting against the inclusion of LGBT rights in legislation

00:14:42.400 to being the stalwart of advocating for persecuted sexual minorities all over the world.

00:14:49.460 It is the focal point of their foreign policy.

00:14:52.500 They really lead the charge on that.

00:14:53.820 So for them to drag up these 30-year-old comments and forget all the work that's been done in between,

00:14:59.260 I mean, it is really ridiculous.

00:15:01.600 But when you see those poll numbers that are coming out about the NDP, I mean, really, it's all they got.

00:15:07.940 I think they're within one point.

00:15:09.560 Like the UCP is within one point of the NDP in the progressive government hellscape of Alberta.

00:15:17.720 And that says a lot about the NDP, I think.

00:15:19.880 Yeah, I was looking at those poll numbers.

00:15:21.100 And by the way, I want to say that we should, if anyone wants some good recent current affairs information

00:15:28.760 about the Alberta election, well, they must go to your new book, Sheila.

00:15:33.140 But you know, there we go.

00:15:35.340 Stop Notley.

00:15:36.720 No nuance there, folks.

00:15:40.740 There you go.

00:15:41.980 And it's funny, looking at those poll numbers, I have to, I mean, I lived two years of my life in Alberta,

00:15:48.420 but I certainly don't know Alberta like you and Kian know Alberta. 0.99

00:15:51.580 And I was looking at the poll numbers, and I found it fascinating that the Liberal Party of Alberta,

00:15:58.760 2%, that's Green Party and other territory.

00:16:03.800 Sheila, why is it that the Liberals do so poorly in Alberta that they're down amongst the others?

00:16:14.260 Yeah, they are a fringe party in Alberta.

00:16:16.660 They really are.

00:16:19.780 We, you know, we have four Liberal MPs in the province.

00:16:24.200 That's going to go back down to zero.

00:16:27.660 I mean, it's just, it's a complete and total rejection of Justin Trudeau

00:16:32.940 when you see Elizabeth May's radical wackadoodle Green Party polling the same as the Liberal Party.

00:16:40.500 But, like, when you see all this stuff that is top of mind in Alberta, all those issues, the UCP polls higher.

00:16:50.940 And interestingly enough, Jason Kenney's past history of anti-LGBT remarks are nowhere on the list because nobody cares about it.

00:17:00.960 In fact, the environment and climate change, which has been, like, the focal point of Rachel Notley's getting pipelines built on social license, that's at 15%.

00:17:11.480 And that's how, that's a fringe, that's a fringe issue in and among itself that just shows how out of touch the NDP are with what really matters on Main Street.

00:17:22.680 And, you know, I mean, I can't imagine how a federal Liberal MP in the province of Alberta can live with himself, can look at his constituents,

00:17:31.660 given what the Justin Trudeau Liberals have done to this province in four years.

00:17:36.160 I mean, oh my goodness, I just can't get into that frame of mind.

00:17:41.100 But keeping with the Alberta election, there's a fascinating little video, and maybe if, oh, we've got some super chats,

00:17:48.840 and then I want to throw to a fascinating video that involves you and Kian, and it's, you know, get your popcorn ready for this one, folks.

00:17:59.760 Oh, what a fun day I had with Kian.

00:18:01.780 Anyways, Proud Boys Calgary, again, very generous, you guys, $6.99, good supporters of the show.

00:18:07.980 They say Jason Kenney's father's cousin's ex-girlfriend's former roommate overstuffed a trash can once.

00:18:14.280 Yes, probably.

00:18:16.580 That's what it's come down to.

00:18:18.840 That's where we're at.

00:18:20.680 I saw Jason Kenney throw a pop bottle in a garbage can as opposed to the blue box in 1989.

00:18:28.440 That makes me want to vote for him more.

00:18:30.260 Okay, so Primpol08, also a good supporter of the show, gives us $5 and says,

00:18:41.000 maybe the NDP can take a page out of the Democrat playbook, vote for us, or the world will end in 12 years.

00:18:48.840 They've already taken that page.

00:18:51.840 Everybody's going to die.

00:18:53.280 All the gay people are going to die. 1.00

00:18:55.340 Jason Kenney's going to lock them up in a gulag and electrocute them with electric Bibles.

00:19:00.700 That's pretty much just the level of discourse happening right now in Alberta politics.

00:19:06.180 And, you know, and in case the Democrats are right about that, Sheila,

00:19:09.000 that's why I put every purchase, every major household purchase is on a layaway plan.

00:19:15.180 Hopefully, like, I don't pay a cent event until 2032, because I know we won't be around by then,

00:19:21.020 so I can make use of my money in the here and now.

00:19:24.120 What do you think about that?

00:19:24.980 If we're not around in 12 years, just based on some of the other stories that we're going to talk about today,

00:19:31.320 it won't be because of climate change.

00:19:33.700 It will be because God smited us into dust, because there's some pretty... 1.00

00:19:38.160 Or an asteroid.

00:19:40.100 You know what?

00:19:41.500 We're asking for it anyways.

00:19:45.360 Well, I should check with Mr. Producer.

00:19:48.360 Do you have that...

00:19:50.220 Here you go, folks.

00:19:51.780 This is Sheila and Kenan the other day, and, well, the video tells the whole story.

00:20:03.700 Oh, we're having some audio problems, but there were subtitles.

00:20:19.540 And now that elections official, Sheila, you know, I can understand, you know,

00:20:23.340 you can't put the signs on our property, and you dutifully remove them.

00:20:27.180 And thankfully, you didn't endure any physicality from the guy telling you to do so.

00:20:33.040 But when he said delete the pictures, what was he talking about that, you know,

00:20:37.760 from the camera work, like that cannot be aired?

00:20:42.540 Under what law or bylaw or resolution is he basing that on?

00:20:49.660 Well, that man there is the deputy chief electoral officer for the entire province.

00:20:56.640 He looks exactly the way an overpaid bureaucrat whose job it is to police signs, how I imagine

00:21:05.980 he would look.

00:21:06.560 Like if someone said, pick the guy out of a lineup, that would be the guy.

00:21:10.500 And he wanted us to delete our video footage because Kenan and I just did a little like,

00:21:15.920 here's why we're giving these idiots a sign in front of their sign. 0.74

00:21:20.240 And he came storming out, huffing and puffing more work than he's ever done in his life.

00:21:25.280 Yeah, that looks evident.

00:21:27.400 Well, I think he's confusing Alberta for North Korea.

00:21:30.340 Mr. Producer has told me we do have the audio this time, Sheila, so we're going to throw

00:21:34.360 to the video and see the whole thing.

00:21:36.660 What they're doing.

00:21:37.300 Mr. Producer put signs up and you have to delete the pictures of it, right?

00:21:41.680 You have to delete the pictures.

00:21:43.520 Delete the pictures?

00:21:44.760 Yeah.

00:21:45.360 Oh, no, we're not deleting anything.

00:21:46.780 Yeah, you're not dependent on this property.

00:21:48.680 Yeah, well, I'm taking them.

00:21:50.680 I'm taking the signs.

00:21:51.900 Oh, yeah, you're taking the signs.

00:21:52.740 Yeah, but I'm not...

00:21:53.400 Publish the pictures in front of our signs.

00:21:56.100 Who are you, sir?

00:21:56.960 It's the province of Alberta.

00:21:57.900 I'm the deputy chief electoral officer for Alberta.

00:21:59.800 What's your name?

00:22:00.240 Great.

00:22:00.460 Drew Westwater.

00:22:01.300 Oh, great.

00:22:01.740 Well, I think Sheila has a few words for you.

00:22:03.280 Yeah.

00:22:03.740 Sure.

00:22:04.400 Sure, yeah.

00:22:05.060 You have to remove the signs and you cannot post the pictures.

00:22:09.500 You guys are sure aficionados of censorship, aren't you?

00:22:12.400 It's not censorship.

00:22:13.680 It's non-partisan, unbiased, partisan activity.

00:22:17.060 So, can you tell us why the only people that you've been charging

00:22:20.020 under the Elections Act is Conservative Operatives?

00:22:24.280 The Elections Operator doesn't charge anybody.

00:22:25.900 That's the Election Commissioner's job.

00:22:26.920 Well, we were led to believe through your Twitter that you were, in fact,

00:22:30.040 and you were forwarding information to the Elections Commissioner.

00:22:32.760 We do when I violation.

00:22:33.840 Right, so why did your Twitter account tell the media?

00:22:38.900 It was an error.

00:22:39.720 It was a staff person who made an error.

00:22:40.960 Yeah.

00:22:41.200 Who was the staff member?

00:22:42.180 Who was the staff member?

00:22:43.020 It's our personal information.

00:22:44.420 It's public information, actually.

00:22:45.660 Yeah.

00:22:46.340 Yes, it absolutely is.

00:22:47.340 That's all I have to say on that.

00:22:48.500 Well, I think it concerns me, considering that your Twitter account

00:22:52.940 said that I broke the law.

00:22:53.980 I've answered your question.

00:22:57.800 Is there anything else?

00:22:58.100 It's an easy FOIP to figure out who the staff member was.

00:23:01.360 Can you just tell us?

00:23:02.360 You cannot.

00:23:02.740 We're not FOIP-able, I'm afraid.

00:23:03.880 It is not convenient.

00:23:04.900 Well, I'm sure our lawyers will figure it out.

00:23:06.580 Thank you.

00:23:07.040 You're very good for the board to talk to me.

00:23:07.840 Yes, I bet you do.

00:23:09.280 Wow, we're not FOIP-able.

00:23:10.920 Why does that almost sound like a dirty word?

00:23:13.220 Well, this guy is a, he's supposed to be an expert in the field.

00:23:20.660 You know what?

00:23:21.920 Elections Alberta is FOIP-able.

00:23:24.160 And I think he's going to find that out the hard way.

00:23:26.160 Oh, so that wasn't true then?

00:23:28.580 It's not true.

00:23:29.400 It's not true.

00:23:30.160 They are FOIP-able.

00:23:31.320 I mean, we're also, we've threatened Elections Alberta with defamation lawsuit

00:23:39.160 because of the things that their Twitter account had posted saying

00:23:42.500 there was an open investigation into my Fire Shannon Phillips billboard

00:23:47.320 along the side of Highway 2.

00:23:48.800 They confirmed that to the media, as it turns out, that's not true.

00:23:53.660 And we've asked them to issue an apology.

00:23:56.520 They haven't done that.

00:23:58.800 So as soon as I mentioned that their Twitter account had accused me of breaking the law,

00:24:05.320 he just went dead silent and shut down the whole thing.

00:24:08.860 So yeah, I mean, he's going to find out the hard way.

00:24:11.560 Yeah, that was quite a pregnant cause at one point when you lobbed the question to him,

00:24:17.840 which, you know, always suggests to me he doesn't have an answer

00:24:22.880 or he's being caught in a major fib, perhaps.

00:24:27.580 Yeah, it's funny because my kid said that's how I deal with the teachers.

00:24:31.080 When he's like, you have to delete the pictures.

00:24:33.040 I'm like, oh no, we're not deleting anything.

00:24:34.980 Like, there's just no discussion to be had.

00:24:37.760 Like, yeah, I'll take my signs, but the hell I'm deleting anything.

00:24:41.720 I'm a journalist.

00:24:42.440 I'm not going to be intimidated by some government bureaucrat whose most exercise

00:24:46.860 and work he's done in six months is coming out to yell at me about a sign on his lawn.

00:24:51.200 I mean, just, it's just ridiculous.

00:24:53.260 But that was such, sorry, go ahead.

00:24:54.860 Oh, that was a gift to you and Kian, Sheila.

00:24:57.640 What I would have done if I was in his shoes, especially since he's so, you know,

00:25:02.320 well, maybe not camera shy, but he wants camera coverage deleted, as he said.

00:25:06.620 I would have just let you post the signs, wait for how many minutes you were going to spend there.

00:25:11.360 As soon as you're gone, then I'd come out and remove them.

00:25:13.660 I mean, why he would do it on camera when he's got this camera phobia about him,

00:25:19.380 that's baffling to me.

00:25:22.100 Well, and that man, Drew Westwater, he's been giving repeated statements about my billboard

00:25:28.780 in the media, in the mainstream media.

00:25:31.340 Like, he will not shut up about my billboard in the media.

00:25:35.000 But I guess it's more fun talking about us than it is talking to us.

00:25:41.040 But that was just a small part of a very glorious day Kian and I had,

00:25:46.440 cruising around the city, delivering those stopknotly.com book signs to Edmonton's most deserving.

00:25:54.000 I mean, it was just, it was a hoot.

00:25:56.640 We got to confront Darren Billis and he ran away from Kian.

00:26:01.120 I mean, it was just, it was such a good time.

00:26:03.500 And Ezra must have called us five times that day.

00:26:08.160 And with nothing good to, like nothing relevant to say, not like,

00:26:11.660 hey, you guys should do this or giving us direction,

00:26:13.320 just to call and tell us that he was jealous.

00:26:16.900 That's all it was.

00:26:18.200 There was no, there was no like, hey, maybe you guys should do a stopover here.

00:26:22.720 What do you think about this?

00:26:23.960 It was just like, he would call, tell us he was jealous,

00:26:27.120 and then tell us a brief story about how he got up to like no good

00:26:30.860 in a car when he was a kid or like 16 and like going down a gravel road.

00:26:36.560 He occupied a lot of our day, but you could tell he really wanted to be there with us.

00:26:40.560 Well, I think I know why Ezra is jealous.

00:26:43.920 I think we all know that your shenanigans out there, Sheila,

00:26:50.220 and those of Kian are driving the Rachel Notley people crazy. 0.51

00:26:58.380 They really have their knickers in a knot over our actions there.

00:27:03.060 And as you know, they've been trying to shut us down and economically penalize us.

00:27:07.200 So when they see us not retreating, but putting the throttle all the way to the floor,

00:27:14.960 like I said, it must be driving them nuts.

00:27:18.400 Yeah, I mean, it encourages me.

00:27:21.120 When they kick me out of the legislature,

00:27:23.100 I write a book about how they kick me out of the legislature

00:27:25.820 and everything else they do and call it the destroyers.

00:27:28.940 When they try to fine us for our first billboard, we put up a second billboard.

00:27:34.260 When the deputy electoral officer for the province runs his mouth in the media to us

00:27:40.700 about my second billboard, then we show up at his office and put up a sign.

00:27:44.280 Like, do they, are they making the connection that they're encouraging me?

00:27:48.000 I mean, I guess not.

00:27:50.700 I mean, no one's ever accused them of being overly intelligent.

00:27:53.500 And you know, Sheila, I love the destroyers,

00:27:55.620 because basically everything you predicted in that came true, one.

00:27:59.100 And secondly, after I finished reading it, I don't know if I ever told you this,

00:28:03.540 but it was such a perfect size, that book.

00:28:06.420 And by that, I mean, at home, we have a window-mounted air conditioner that sort of lops,

00:28:12.380 and I sort of just wedged it in under the air conditioner, and it propped it up perfectly.

00:28:16.820 So, you know, on both fronts, that's a fantastic book.

00:28:22.400 You know what?

00:28:22.900 Don't let anybody tell you that conservatives don't recycle,

00:28:26.300 because I'm a utilitarian person.

00:28:29.680 You, I think you thought that that would annoy me, but I'm just pleased.

00:28:34.140 Yeah, I was trying to bust your chops with that one. 0.98

00:28:37.100 But anyway, so I'm not sure if we have any more super chats.

00:28:42.260 No.

00:28:42.700 Okay, so maybe we can switch gears and talk about Jane Philpott.

00:28:48.460 Fascinating interview by Maclean's, I have to say,

00:28:52.760 where basically she said outright that when it comes to the improper pressure

00:28:58.780 that was allegedly applied on Jody Wilson-Raybould,

00:29:02.280 there is much more to the story.

00:29:05.740 That's a direct quote.

00:29:06.700 Much more to the story.

00:29:08.280 And here's the thing, Sheila.

00:29:10.980 I think everybody, even maybe liberal supporters,

00:29:15.880 are getting sick and tired of this excuse that because of privilege that she cannot speak.

00:29:25.140 She can't reveal the rest of the story.

00:29:28.320 I think it is incumbent for Justin Trudeau to let Jody Wilson-Raybould speak.

00:29:35.760 We know she wants to speak.

00:29:37.140 We know when we had our first chance of trying to get her to speak with the Justice Committee,

00:29:42.620 that was shut down.

00:29:44.200 So I'm tired of this feminist prime minister basically having the point of view that, 1.00

00:29:52.480 you know, female cabinet ministers should be seen and not heard. 1.00

00:29:57.480 Some feminist, eh? 1.00

00:29:58.540 Well, yeah, I mean, the competent ladies that he's appointed to do things like Jane Philpott 0.99

00:30:06.320 and Jody Wilson-Raybould, once they express how competent they really are by resisting pressure

00:30:13.420 from the PMO, that's when he turfs them. 0.98

00:30:16.180 Because he really doesn't care about competent women.

00:30:18.760 He cares about meeting the right number of women and the right women in the front line of a photo op.

00:30:26.440 But he really doesn't care about, you know, women who can actually do their job.

00:30:30.020 I mean, it sounds like this, in this article with Jane Philpott here,

00:30:37.200 and let me be clear, I'm not a Jane Philpott fan.

00:30:41.060 I'm not, I mean, she's over here and I'm way over here on a lot of stuff.

00:30:46.240 But she said that when she decided to become a politician,

00:30:49.580 she made a commitment to represent the people of her riding.

00:30:52.280 And she says the people of her riding have been telling her that they want to hear more.

00:30:57.760 They feel like they haven't heard the whole story.

00:31:00.760 And she said her primary obligation in representing them is to ensure that they have confidence

00:31:06.260 that nothing untoward took place.

00:31:08.060 And they have been concerned about why there is an attempt to shut down the story.

00:31:13.860 And just before we were coming on air, it sounds like at least it was breaking on the CBC

00:31:18.820 that Jody Wilson-Raybould said that she will present her texts and her emails

00:31:24.640 and other communications that she had with the PMO and other people

00:31:29.000 that amounted to that untoward pressure.

00:31:31.960 So it sounds like we, despite the Liberals, all their attempts to shut down this story

00:31:39.680 and put an end to it, especially with their budget full of goodies that nobody even asked for,

00:31:46.820 that I think the truth just might come to light.

00:31:50.560 And you know what?

00:31:51.300 That is the $64,000 question, Sheila.

00:31:53.980 What is that truth?

00:31:55.880 I mean, I think it's abundantly clear that Justin Trudeau is deathly afraid of what Jody

00:32:04.360 Wilson-Raybould has to say.

00:32:06.200 You know, that rest of the story, as Ms. Philpott pointed out to.

00:32:11.340 And I mean, what she said so far was so damning in terms of ethics and morals.

00:32:17.940 Although she did remark, I do believe, that there was no illegality.

00:32:23.840 So having framed it in that sense, Sheila, what do you think Justin is so afraid of?

00:32:30.620 What is this other thing Jody Wilson-Raybould wants to speak of?

00:32:36.280 Well, I don't know, but I think SNC-Lavalin might know.

00:32:39.500 Because they've come out and said that this 9,000 jobs excuse, that the liberals have been

00:32:46.360 trotting out every time that people mention prosecuting SNC-Lavalin for their crimes and

00:32:52.800 that, oh, 9,000 jobs will get lost.

00:32:55.100 Well, I'm from Alberta and that rings a little bit hollow to me, considering the hundreds

00:33:01.020 of thousands of jobs we've lost because of liberal inaction. 0.92

00:33:04.300 But SNC-Lavalin has come out and said that actually wasn't going to happen.

00:33:09.000 And we never expressed that to the PMO.

00:33:11.860 So it looks like it's your political interference for political gain in Quebec because the liberals

00:33:21.020 aren't doing as great there as they think they should be.

00:33:23.900 So, I mean, it looks like the house of cards is starting to fall down.

00:33:28.340 And you know something?

00:33:28.920 I'm going to call BS on that 9,000 job loss or potential job loss too, because I heard

00:33:33.560 about a week ago, Sheila, a fascinating interview with Professor Ian Lee, who I have a tremendous

00:33:40.600 amount of time for.

00:33:42.020 And basically, this is somebody whose specialty is business.

00:33:46.480 And he was saying that SNC-Lavalin is amongst a select group of companies in the world that

00:33:53.080 perhaps number six to eight, in terms of being top of the game in engineering, in terms of having

00:34:01.300 the best of the best.

00:34:03.100 And the idea that this was going to lose 9,000 jobs is absolutely preposterous.

00:34:10.580 Well, yeah.

00:34:12.260 And, you know, I think even as crooked as SNC-Lavalin is and as corrupt as they are, I mean, they

00:34:21.380 did pay for escorts for a Moammar Gaddafi's kid.

00:34:25.080 Even they couldn't let that lie from the liberals go by.

00:34:28.060 We do have some super chat, though.

00:34:31.140 Hey, let's go back.

00:34:33.100 What have we got?

00:34:34.180 We have super chats.

00:34:35.220 Okay, primpal08, congrats on having your book hit the bestseller list on Amazon in the

00:34:41.400 first day.

00:34:43.160 Oh, fantastic.

00:34:44.600 It did hit the bestseller list on Amazon, although it was the number one in political books.

00:34:50.820 And that was, I believe now the paperback version is available.

00:34:56.700 So that was only when the e-book edition was available.

00:35:00.960 So let's see if we can get that to number one on the entire Amazon.ca bestseller list,

00:35:07.880 because, boy, that would sure make Rachel Notley mad. 1.00

00:35:10.460 Oh, Sheila, Mr. Producer, tells me it was Amazon.com for the paperback.

00:35:14.240 Oh, oh, okay.

00:35:15.760 Yes, it's on Amazon.com.

00:35:17.080 Yes, yes.

00:35:18.180 There's a lot of moving parts, and I miss a lot of them.

00:35:21.500 I'm just the author.

00:35:23.060 I don't do the other stuff.

00:35:26.360 El Chepicabra, good to see you in the super chat.

00:35:30.240 A loyal viewer also gives us $6.99 Canadian.

00:35:35.120 Do you have the clip of Michelle Rempel's feminism speech she did towards Trudeau?

00:35:40.860 I've seen it.

00:35:42.280 She just scorched the ground underneath him.

00:35:46.320 It was just, it was crazy, crazy.

00:35:49.720 I believe the very same day, Candace Bergen gave him the business to moving along.

00:35:57.000 We got another one here.

00:35:58.200 Oh, and by the way, Sheila, if you're looking for that, Mr. Producer tells me that we can

00:36:02.160 actually get Michelle Rempel's talk. 0.91

00:36:05.220 So, yeah, that's full value for the money, let me tell you.

00:36:09.700 Oh, boy.

00:36:10.440 It was like nothing you've seen in Canadian politics in a long time.

00:36:15.860 Okay, so D. Tyler Dunbrack writes, oh, gives us $10 Canadian, then writes, voter fraud evident

00:36:23.520 in Burnaby South election, no ID required to vote.

00:36:27.120 Does Alberta require ID to vote?

00:36:29.240 We require ID or proof of residency, and that can be done as simple as bringing in a utility bill with your name on it.

00:36:40.060 So, it's pretty easy to vote.

00:36:43.600 Although I do think that since everybody walking around should have ID, it should be government issue ID to vote.

00:36:50.220 I think that's the best way to protect the franchise.

00:36:52.540 Fantastic, and by the way, I want to thank all the viewers that have chipped in so far with their Super Chats, Sheila,

00:37:02.000 and perhaps if we can see what Ms. Rempel had to say.

00:37:07.200 Not yet.

00:37:08.020 We're still looking, but in the meantime, you said something before you broke for the Super Chats, Sheila,

00:37:13.300 and I think this is when the SNC-Lavalin scandal moved from bizarre to the realm of the circus,

00:37:22.740 and that was, as you mentioned, Muammar Gaddafi's son was given $30,000 worth of prostitution services.

00:37:33.180 And since I really know very little about that world, I want to reach out to our viewers.

00:37:38.080 What does $30,000 buy you?

00:37:41.580 I mean, that's the price of a car for me.

00:37:44.440 I mean, like, what do you get for $30,000?

00:37:49.700 And I have to ask this because, you know, when we crunch all these numbers, this is part of the narrative.

00:37:56.280 So, if anyone out there, unless you know yourself, Sheila, you're well-versed in so many subjects.

00:38:01.360 That didn't come out quite the way I meant it, but I would like, you know, if anyone knows what you get in terms of quid pro quo for $30,000,

00:38:14.140 I am just absolutely fascinated.

00:38:17.280 So, there you go.

00:38:18.880 David, I think there's a lot of moving parts to that question, just to address it.

00:38:23.300 Because I think it depends on the hooker. 1.00

00:38:27.220 I think it depends on, like, the quality of hooker, the services provided, the time spent. 0.99

00:38:34.800 I think the only way we would know is to get SNC-Lavalin to show us.

00:38:39.300 I mean, they obviously paid for these services.

00:38:42.580 Boy, I'd love to know what that $30,000 entails.

00:38:46.360 Well, I think what I'm getting at, Sheila, is that does $30,000, do you get a bulk discount?

00:38:51.860 If I go to a house of ill repute and say, here's $30,000, is that really worth maybe $40,000 of services if I were to do one-offs all the time?

00:39:01.880 I don't know if that's how that business works, kind of like, you know, the Costco model.

00:39:07.000 Well, maybe they could have just saved themselves a lot of hassle and got him one of those robots that we talked about that one time on the show.

00:39:15.080 And just, then you could just have it.

00:39:17.100 Because I bet you could probably get a robot, like one of those intimate robots, for $30,000, and then you just give it to them.

00:39:24.360 And you know what?

00:39:25.100 Justin Trudeau would love.

00:39:26.320 No poor woman is exploited.

00:39:27.880 Yeah, Justin Trudeau would love one of those robots, Sheila, because, you know, it wouldn't talk back to you unless you're asked to talk.

00:39:33.540 So that seems to be how he treats female cabinet ministers. 1.00

00:39:36.820 Anyway, speaking of which, we have, Mr. Producer has the video of Michelle Rempel.

00:39:45.080 He asked for strong women, and this is what they look like. 1.00

00:39:50.660 Women who won't sacrifice their principles to cover up his corruption scandals. 1.00

00:39:55.660 Women who stand up every day and refuse to back down against his abuse of our judiciary, of parliamentary committees, and more importantly, the use of the term feminist. 1.00

00:40:07.400 Yes.

00:40:08.060 Fake.

00:40:08.720 I'll ask one more time.

00:40:10.260 If this prime minister is such a feminist, why is he muzzling the former Attorney General? 0.93

00:40:18.480 Right, honourable prime minister.

00:40:21.520 Mr. Speaker, I am in...

00:40:23.280 Can't he ever answer a direct question, Sheila?

00:40:33.380 It's like, you say to Justin Trudeau, what kind of car do you drive?

00:40:37.180 And the answer is, my drapes are green.

00:40:39.900 It's just amazing.

00:40:41.000 Okay, so Rempel's first language is English.

00:40:46.320 Trudeau's first language is English.

00:40:48.700 She's asking the question probably on behalf of Western Canadians, but I mean Canadians as a whole, who the majority of Canadians are first language is English.

00:40:58.120 And what does he do?

00:40:59.020 So start off the answer in English, pump the brakes on himself, rewire his brain, and then start to answer in French.

00:41:07.580 It's just another way to obfuscate from what she just asked him.

00:41:12.180 I mean, it's just crazy.

00:41:13.940 Yeah, but Sheila, I don't have to be fluid in French to know that what he's saying in French is just as much BS as what he says in English.

00:41:23.700 Yeah, I mean, the language of BS is universal, isn't it, David?

00:41:29.020 All right then, and so do we have a super chat there, Sheila, or not?

00:41:37.400 Nope, no super chat.

00:41:38.620 I'm waiting for you to give us another topic.

00:41:40.680 Well, you know, we talked off air about this, and I think it's important because it's something that's increasing in Western nations that are kind of flummoxed in terms of how to deal with this.

00:41:51.580 And evidently in Switzerland, population 8.5 million, and most of whom are Christian, there was a proposal to have a law that would ban the burka, and I would assume the niqab too, you know, an anti-face mask law.

00:42:09.700 There are two cantons in Switzerland that indeed have such a law, and the government rejected that, but they're going to look into tabling a bill for a law that would require anyone with a face mask to unveil when an authority asks them to do, which I support.

00:42:30.340 By the way, I should say the reason, Sheila, I thought it was absolutely astonishing in terms of why they didn't want to ban the burka is because of Arab tourists who might be wearing burka. 0.99

00:42:44.520 So in other words, you know, if there's a deep-pocketed Arab burka or niqab wearing tourists coming to Switzerland to buy a wristwatch or a cuckoo clock, we don't want to chase that business away. 0.99

00:42:57.960 That's so, you know, the bottom line is the bottom line.

00:43:00.840 I think that's a terrible, terrible reason not to do this.

00:43:04.640 But where I stand on this, if you want to wear this at your home, you're fine to do so.

00:43:09.880 If you want to go to the mosque and put it on, you're fine to do so. 1.00

00:43:12.360 But we live in a Western democracy, and one of the reasons why we don't have Checkpoint Charlie every two kilometers with somebody saying,

00:43:22.280 your papers, please, is because when we walk around, Sheila, I can see who you are, you can see who I am.

00:43:29.020 And if someone's wearing a mask, and let's, you know, do a hypothetical situation, they commit an assault, say you're hurt by somebody that way, Sheila,

00:43:37.060 you are at a complete, inherent disadvantage in identifying that person.

00:43:42.940 Furthermore, there is absolutely nothing in the Quran, in fact, many Muslims are repulsed by these fabric coffins too.

00:43:51.940 So the idea that this is religious freedom is completely bogus.

00:43:55.860 I'm sorry, even if it was a mandate, we are always told, rightly, that public safety comes first.

00:44:02.340 So I do hope that Switzerland at least falls back on plan B and has it so that when you're asked to take off that face mask to reveal yourself, you should.

00:44:13.460 But I think they should have gone ahead with a ban.

00:44:15.840 And by the way, a ban is what I'd like to see in this country too.

00:44:18.640 But under these liberals, you'd never see that happen.

00:44:22.100 Well, and I mean, the request here seems pretty reasonable.

00:44:27.360 The proposal would mean that anybody repeatedly, so repeatedly, not just one time, but repeatedly refusing to show their face to officials like customs, aviation, and migration could face a fine.

00:44:41.780 Those are security points at which finding out exactly whose face you're looking at is pretty darn important.

00:44:48.880 This all reminds me of the time that you voted in a burqa. 0.99

00:44:51.840 Remember that? You went there. I mean, it was, I don't know why you carried a purse that day, but whatever.

00:45:00.340 I think that's the funniest part of that whole video is your little clutch that you had.

00:45:04.680 It's because it accentuated my eyes, Sheila.

00:45:07.360 It did, because that's all you could see.

00:45:10.980 But you went there and you gave them your, I think it was your driver's license.

00:45:15.900 And they're like, oh yeah, that's you.

00:45:18.100 Well, how the hell do they know that's you?

00:45:19.900 They don't know if that driver's license is the person under the burqa, and they never asked.

00:45:25.600 So that could have been somebody stealing your vote off the voter roll if they had picked up your ID somewhere.

00:45:32.860 That's how important this stuff is.

00:45:34.560 It really is important.

00:45:36.300 Oh, 100%.

00:45:37.080 And Sheila, I have another example.

00:45:38.260 This was done about six years ago during my son's news days, but we had a 15-year-old boy put on the burqa and went to three liquor control board of Ontario retail stores to buy hard alcohol, hard liquor.

00:45:55.960 No questions asked.

00:45:57.220 And just think of that.

00:45:59.040 What is the ostensible policy reason, Sheila, for liquor boards in Canada to have a liquor monopoly?

00:46:05.660 Well, it's because of social responsibility, i.e., well, if we had the private sector selling liquor, you'd have 12-year-olds in the parking lot getting drunk on Colt 45.

00:46:16.340 Whereas we, the government, we answer to a higher standard.

00:46:20.680 We make sure that we're doing things on the up and up.

00:46:23.720 And here's this 15-year-old boy just buying hard liquor at every single store we went to.

00:46:30.240 That's a disgrace.

00:46:31.740 And by the way, if you're interested in seeing that, folks, I think if you go online and punch in burqa boy, LCBO, you'll see the video evidence of that one. 0.68

00:46:40.860 I mean, I've been pulled over for driving without my seatbelt on because I don't think it's the government's job to keep me safe that way.

00:46:49.920 I will wear a seatbelt, but not because the government told me to.

00:46:53.140 But anyways, I was wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, and the cop made me take off my baseball cap and sunglasses so he could match my driver's license picture to my face.

00:47:02.860 That's important.

00:47:04.400 You know, he has to confirm my identity before he gives me the ticket.

00:47:08.560 I mean, it's stuff like that.

00:47:10.480 It's so simple.

00:47:11.280 It happens in everyday life.

00:47:13.140 The Hutterites out here in Alberta, they, a lot of the more orthodox Hutterite sects, they don't believe in having their photos taken.

00:47:22.780 But to comply with the law to get their driver's license, they do.

00:47:27.560 It's a good balance between their religious freedom and complying with the laws that everybody else has to.

00:47:33.720 Reasonable people realize that it is important to show your face to authorities so that your ID can be confirmed.

00:47:39.440 When I got my gun license picture, I couldn't even have bangs touching my forehead because that would obscure my identity.

00:47:46.040 And yet there are people walking around who never have to reveal their face to security officials, police, migration, all those things.

00:47:52.820 You know, and again, it's we're supposed to have it that public safety trumps everything.

00:47:59.860 But because of certain political, religious sensitivities, the gatekeepers are turning a blind eye to that.

00:48:07.240 And that's despicable.

00:48:08.700 And, you know, it's you mentioned something, the word reasonable.

00:48:11.960 And how many times have we heard the term reasonable accommodation?

00:48:14.780 We must be reasonably accommodating others.

00:48:17.840 Well, here's what I say, Sheila, reasonable accommodation is a two way street.

00:48:22.440 And I think a newcomer to Canada that, you know, believes in wearing, like I call it, the fabric coffin or, by the way, might be coerced by the males in our family to wear that fabric coffin. 0.98

00:48:37.100 Because we know that happens too, and we know with slights of honour what the penalties can potentially be.

00:48:43.900 Well, I'm sorry, you've got to be reasonable as well.

00:48:46.480 So I think the reasonable accommodation here, if I was king of the Kingdom of Canada, is you want to wear a mask, do it in private, do it at your place of worship, but in public, no.

00:48:59.020 I want to see your face.

00:49:02.560 Well, try walking around in a balaclava, try going to the bank in one.

00:49:06.200 And, you know, see how that goes.

00:49:08.780 It's funny you mention that.

00:49:10.100 We put, you know, here in Toronto where the Blue Jays played and where the Argos used to play, the Sky Dome, now called the Rogers Centre.

00:49:19.180 There was a story a few years back of an Argo alumni at Halloween that actually got ejected from the stadium because he was wearing a Halloween mask.

00:49:28.480 It was just part.

00:49:29.080 And this was somebody that used to play for the Toronto Argonauts.

00:49:31.500 So we went to the Sky Dome and I had a female friend with me, full burqa, no problem. 0.99

00:49:39.400 She's sitting there.

00:49:40.360 At the end of the first quarter, I got up to go to the concession stand.

00:49:43.820 I put on a balaclava.

00:49:45.400 The security, the cops descended upon me and I'm pointing, you can, I'm sure if you search the rebel site, you can see this.

00:49:53.560 I'm pointing to the woman with the burqa on and they're saying, well, that's not a mask.

00:50:00.920 And I'm saying, yes, it is.

00:50:02.080 They go, no, it's religious.

00:50:03.780 And I go, well, you're wrong.

00:50:05.080 There is no religious requirement.

00:50:06.720 And the definition of a mask is something that conceals your face.

00:50:11.500 But anyways, I got ejected from the Sky Dome because I wouldn't remove my balaclava.

00:50:16.380 So once again, Sheila, you nailed it.

00:50:18.520 It's a double standard, isn't it?

00:50:21.040 Yeah, it really is.

00:50:21.980 I mean, I would have just proclaimed that my religion is not having a cold face.

00:50:25.780 And tried that one on for size. 0.92

00:50:29.580 But chances are nobody would believe me because there's only one religion that takes supremacy over the rule of law, I suppose, right? 0.98

00:50:36.460 Sad but true.

00:50:37.340 It's at the total higher end of the human rights hierarchy.

00:50:43.460 And by the way, that is how human rights commissions look at people in terms of identity politics.

00:50:49.540 And you, depending on your sexual orientation, your religion, your color of skin, that's going to determine how far up the totem pole you are and how much underground you are.

00:51:02.720 And I think we all know which groups sort of the penthouse and which groups are, like I said, in the cellar.

00:51:11.480 But there you go.

00:51:13.280 Now, I think you had another topic you wanted to speak of as well, Sheila, that you sent along.

00:51:19.080 Or am I missing something?

00:51:20.220 Oh, yeah.

00:51:20.660 I think that's a good segue, the social justice hierarchy.

00:51:24.380 I think that's a good segue into our story about San Antonio and the airport there.

00:51:31.260 Isn't that crazy?

00:51:32.780 San Antonio, the article is from The Blaze.

00:51:36.600 It says San Antonio bars Chick-fil-A from their airport over their legacy of anti-LGBTQ behavior.

00:51:46.800 And it is just crazy.

00:51:49.080 So, I mean, it really is crazy.

00:51:51.880 So, they were rejected from getting a location at the San Antonio airport.

00:51:58.380 San Antonio, from what I understand, is Texas Edmonton.

00:52:01.540 Just like a progressive, weird, whatever, where all the, like, the socialists congregate, as opposed to every, all the good people outside in the rural parts of Texas.

00:52:13.340 So, anyways, there's a busybody councillor who made sure that the airport denied a seven-year contract to Chick-fil-A, which would generate more than $2 million for the city.

00:52:29.700 Because there's a busybody councillor there who said the decision was made based on inclusivity.

00:52:38.420 So, they're banning people again for inclusivity.

00:52:42.000 I'm not sure they know what those words mean.

00:52:44.660 No, they don't.

00:52:45.320 And let's be clear, Sheila.

00:52:46.900 Yeah.

00:52:47.300 There is a suggestion there in terms of inclusivity that if you're a member of those groups, A, you won't be hired by the company, or B, you won't be served.

00:52:58.140 And that's absolutely nonsense.

00:53:00.120 That is completely false.

00:53:01.960 And I have to tell you, Sheila, looking at the facts of the matter, especially in a country that's protected by the First Amendment, I would suggest, I'm not a lawyer, maybe I'm wrong, but I think I'm right.

00:53:12.640 I think Chick-fil-A has an incredible lawsuit to pursue based on the constitutionality of being excluded this way.

00:53:23.040 Well, and let's just list the things that San Antonio says are against LGBTQ people that Chick-fil-A has done.

00:53:34.280 So, they're controversial because of their stances on biblical marriage.

00:53:41.440 And they've given money to such horrible people like the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

00:53:51.600 That's what has had them run afoul of the bureaucrats in San Antonio.

00:54:00.040 Now, to their credit, Chick-fil-A said, we agree with the councillor that everyone is and should feel welcome at Chick-fil-A.

00:54:07.900 We have a fundamental code of conduct at Chick-fil-A.

00:54:10.780 Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

00:54:13.840 And then they go on to say that the 140,000 people who serve customers in our restaurants on a daily basis represent and embrace all people, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

00:54:27.140 Our intent is to have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A.

00:54:31.740 And, by the way, Sheila, here's, to me, this is the bottom line.

00:54:37.260 No one is forcing anyone to go to a Chick-fil-A.

00:54:40.000 So, for those reasons, if there was any consumer out there that, you know, had a hate on for Chick-fil-A, then you punish them via your pocketbook.

00:54:51.600 I'm going to go to another restaurant to eat.

00:54:54.180 This idea that the state has to mandate, you know, this sort of a boycott, you know, an exclusion of a restaurant from an airport, it's terrible.

00:55:06.340 And I'll tell you, for people who sympathize with Chick-fil-A, and I won, because when I went out to Calgary to give the money that we raised for the veterans, there is a Chick-fil-A in the Calgary airport.

00:55:16.980 I made a beeline to it.

00:55:18.560 I'll tell you, that's a delicious chicken sandwich.

00:55:21.260 My only complaint is they didn't have vinegar for the fries, and I'm telling you this, Chick-fil-A, I know you're an American company, if you don't serve vinegar in Canada, that is un-Canadian.

00:55:31.220 I know Americans, for the most part, don't put vinegar on their fries, but that's the worst kind of exclusion I experienced at Chick-fil-A, Sheila, I'll tell you that much.

00:55:40.200 It's just so funny, because some of the reasons the San Antonio City Council said that they don't want Chick-fil-A there is that people might become upset walking past a Chick-fil-A in the airport.

00:55:55.600 Oh, poor babies. 1.00

00:55:56.640 If you cannot walk past a restaurant that donated to the Salvation Army, you are not mentally fit to be flying through the air on an airplane.

00:56:08.800 I'm worried that you're going to cause some sort of on-air, like in-the-air scene.

00:56:12.780 That's what I would be worried about, if that's the kind of person you are.

00:56:16.060 We do have a super chat.

00:56:17.760 Super chat.

00:56:19.040 Yes.

00:56:19.960 Okay, so from It's Fraudulent for $5, Sheila, are you guys doing a compilation video of all the NDP scandals in the past four years?

00:56:30.280 Video, no, but there's a book out there.

00:56:33.500 It's called Stop Notly.

00:56:35.460 You can get it for $5 on e-book version or at Amazon.com.

00:56:41.920 Stop Notly, it's the case for throwing out the NDP, and that's where I've rounded up all the scandals.

00:56:47.420 Although, my friend Kian does do a video series called Meet Your Destroyers or Meet the Destroyers, and it's basically some of the greatest hits from some of the more recent NDP behavior.

00:57:01.120 Fantastic.

00:57:01.760 And by the way, I want to get back to something you just said before you read that super chat.

00:57:05.920 And by the way, thank you for that.

00:57:07.100 But this idea of that we have to protect people from being triggered, oh, I hate that word, Sheila.

00:57:16.380 That triggers me when I hear about other people getting triggered.

00:57:19.720 And it brings to mind, there was a story that occurred this week.

00:57:23.600 I've got a commentary coming up about it in depth on the weekend.

00:57:28.800 And one of our favorite wrestlers, Dwayne The Rock Johnson, had one of the most profound honors bestowed upon him.

00:57:37.820 The United States military's first armored division named a tank after him.

00:57:43.300 And, you know, The Rock was completely flattered and honored by this.

00:57:49.480 But the social media shite storm that was, you know, that happened in terms of, oh, how could you ever lend your name to a war machine, to a killing machine?

00:58:00.860 And it seems that these people don't understand a couple of things.

00:58:05.540 Yeah, there's a picture of it.

00:58:06.780 Isn't that beautiful?

00:58:07.800 What a gorgeous tank.

00:58:09.140 I mean, I could only dream of having my name on a tank, Sheila, let me tell you.

00:58:14.800 But this idea that there's no such thing as a just war seems to be beyond their comprehension.

00:58:22.120 This idea that there's not a form of diplomacy called peace through strength, that seems beyond them.

00:58:30.120 What would they do?

00:58:31.720 Have their nation completely demilitarized?

00:58:35.240 Because I can tell you, the bad guys in the world, the Irans, the North Koreas, they'd probably come knocking pretty quickly. 1.00

00:58:42.040 And guess what?

00:58:42.880 They have tanks and they're not afraid to use them.

00:58:46.540 Okay, first we have a super chat.

00:58:48.060 I want to get to it before we have to go off the air.

00:58:50.280 Okay.

00:58:51.440 PrimPel08, another five bucks, very generous, says,

00:58:54.120 If sex is supposed to be non-binary, what does the B in LGBT stand for? 0.94

00:58:59.060 Boring.

00:58:59.380 Because that's what so many people on the left want us all to be, is just bland, vanilla, and boring.

00:59:07.480 And then going back to your story about The Rock's tank, do you think any of those people complaining are wrestling fans, do you think?

00:59:19.240 Oh, no.

00:59:19.580 I mean, The Rock beat people up for a living.

00:59:23.440 I enjoyed watching it.

00:59:24.940 Do you think any of those people who are generally NASCAR watchers, wrestling watchers, didn't take offense to the WWE girls that wore next to nothing, didn't write any letters when Gold Dust, with his sexual ambiguity, came out and creeped everybody out.

00:59:47.360 Do you think any of those people are like, oh, I'm done here because there's a war machine named after The Rock.

00:59:54.780 And these are people who have no interest in The Rock whatsoever, never watched an action movie.

01:00:00.620 They're telling the rest of us what we should find offensive.

01:00:05.700 No, it's the people like Dion Buse, the guy, you know, the feminist, Women's Day March, that punch you.

01:00:11.460 They're the ones that are offended.

01:00:12.720 But you know what, Sheila, I see by the clock on the wall and by Mr. Producer's voice that we're almost out of time.

01:00:17.840 And I think what The Rock should say to all these critics is something that I think Justin Trudeau says to his female cabinet ministers.

01:00:28.360 And that's one of The Rock's greatest quotes, which is this, know your role and shut your mouth.

01:00:36.820 And on that, I shall leave it.

01:00:38.780 And Sheila, thank you so much for co-hosting.

01:00:41.020 And folks, Ezra, in all likelihood, will be back next Friday.

01:00:44.580 And thank you once again for everyone commenting and for all those contributing in the Super Chat.

01:00:50.420 Thank you so much.

01:00:51.360 Good day.
