00:00:14.520 Now tonight my guests, plural, are my colleagues Sid Fizzard and Kian K2 Simone. They are the two
00:00:24.700 journalists currently embedded in the Coutts blockade. And I think they are an interesting
00:00:33.040 story in and of themselves because they are these two young guys who moved from Toronto all the way
00:00:41.080 to Alberta. Now they find themselves in the heart of one of the most interesting and compelling stories
00:00:45.680 in the entire world. So I thought maybe you would like to learn a little bit more about them.

00:01:40.760 Today marks almost two weeks since the standoff between truckers and farmers and authorities began
00:02:00.900 at the Coutts-Alberta border crossing. Today you'll meet the two journalists on the ground
00:02:05.160 leading the story. I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed and you're watching The Gunn Show.
00:02:26.620 The two journalists we have as boots on the ground in Coutts are really proving their worth.
00:02:32.320 Now, the border at Coutts is being blocked intermittently as truckers protest lockdown
00:02:37.680 restrictions in Alberta, but also those all across the country. They just want everyone,
00:02:42.300 including themselves, to be free and they want life to go back to normal. And the truckers,
00:02:47.060 well, they've got the support of the community. In fact, support has grown so much that the RCMP
00:02:51.240 are also blocking people from coming into the protest site at Coutts, instead corralling supporters
00:02:56.400 20 kilometers up the road in Milk River. The world is watching our two young journalists work
00:03:02.560 night and day in extreme conditions, sometimes even sleeping in their car, just so that they can show
00:03:08.060 you what's really happening and why it's happening. Sid Fizard and Kian K2 Simone are the only journalists
00:03:15.400 that the truckers trust. They're the only ones there when the truckers are negotiating with the police.
00:03:23.220 They're the only ones that they'll talk to. But it makes you wonder why two young journalists
00:03:28.340 would pack up their lives and move across the country to work for Rebel News. I'd like to know,
00:03:34.000 wouldn't you? So, the two guys are on my show today in an interview we recorded from their office,
00:03:40.160 Kian's Honda Civic, so that we can all get to know them just a little bit better. Take a listen. 0.99
00:03:45.100 Joining me now from the Battle of Coutts, Alberta are our two rebel reporters on the scene. They're
00:04:05.920 doing just fantastic work. Sid Fizard and K2 Kian Simone. I wanted to have you guys on the show
00:04:13.040 because, I mean, you guys are really in the midst of, I think, one of the most important stories
00:04:19.960 unfolding in the world right now. But I think you guys are a little bit of the story too.
00:04:25.260 But before we get to you guys, it's Tuesday morning as we're recording this. You guys are in your car.
00:04:32.580 I can see all of your worldly possessions in the car behind you. What are the living conditions like
00:04:39.100 for you guys right there? Because you're right in the thick of things. If you leave, you kind of
00:04:43.780 are in jeopardy of not even being able to get back at this point.
00:04:47.860 Well, I think I could take a head start on that and say most of the stuff in the backseat is just
00:04:51.800 garbage because there's nowhere to put it. But living conditions have, I think, to be frank,
00:04:57.860 just completely terrible. Yeah.
00:05:00.640 You know, it's finding new places to sleep every night and sometimes in the car. And it's cold here,
00:05:08.100 right? So you're a funny story quick, actually. Last two nights ago, Sid and I slept in the car and I
00:05:14.580 woke up really cold and I turned the car on and I fell asleep with the car on. So woke up with zero gas.
00:05:22.140 Um, the truckers filled me up though. Um,
00:05:26.180 and, uh, well, and something to note as well is, uh, as we've been hunting for a place to stay for
00:05:33.180 the night each night, uh, sometimes it's been an Airbnb that we've been welcomed to. There's a
00:05:38.220 little motel here that we've been welcomed to. Uh, and then there's this, uh, a lady here. I'm not 1.00
00:05:42.320 going to spoil her name in case she doesn't want the publicity, but, uh, she's been great and let us
00:05:46.140 crash at her place a few times in the basement. Uh, and this is all this out of the generosity of the
00:05:51.500 people who either run these facilities or would be renting a room in these facilities. Uh, they've
00:05:55.900 been very gracious and, uh, uh, have been kind of giving us these places to stay. Uh, and it's,
00:06:01.820 it's this generosity across the board. It's the people of Coots as well. The lady here is a local,
00:06:06.320 uh, all the people here in Coots that we've come across, I think, uh, have been very supportive of
00:06:11.000 what's going on here. Uh, and by proxy, I guess, uh, because we're the only people who really properly
00:06:15.760 are trying to cover the other side of the story. Uh, they've been very welcoming to us as well.
00:06:19.860 If I could add one more thing to that, the lady who actually, uh, facilitated, uh, most of our
00:06:25.040 stays here, uh, last night, she said she was getting out of here and she wanted to tell us
00:06:29.300 that, uh, she actually really, she said hated, she didn't like rebel news at all. And she said
00:06:34.680 that we changed that for her and she loves us. Well, I think you guys have been really great
00:06:40.140 brand ambassadors for us here at rebel news to the entire world, because the world has really
00:06:44.680 been watching your work. Um, I guess my next question is, um, what's, what's it like? You,
00:06:52.360 you just told me about the, the one lady who said you changed her heart and her mind about rebel news. 0.99
00:06:57.500 Um, how do the truckers and the blockaders feel about your work there? 1.00
00:07:02.760 I think they're really appreciative of it. I think they see that mainstream media is just kind of
00:07:07.660 taking them through the ropes, so to speak, and trying to shoot them down as much as they can.
00:07:12.240 Uh, and then they see our reporting and they actually really appreciate it. And for
00:07:16.140 a lot of people, like not everybody knows who rebel news is right. Uh, but for a lot of these
00:07:20.540 people who are learning about rebel news, they're actually very grateful for what they're seeing.
00:07:24.520 And what I think is really funny is, uh, last night, um, it's not the first time it happened,
00:07:28.940 but I was just, uh, I was drinking a pot in the corner, just, uh, just surveilling the room.
00:07:34.180 And I heard the, I heard our sting and I walked over and the guys there are just watching the report.
00:07:40.480 And it's like, guys, you were here and they're just, and they're just watching the report.
00:07:45.880 They're like, Hey man, this is you. And I was like, yeah, but you're here.
00:07:49.300 And they, and you see the signs on the tractors that are rolling all through Southern Alberta.
00:07:53.760 We have billboards up that we at rebel, we didn't do. Uh, it's, it's the people here who
00:07:58.820 are saying, if you want the truth that coots follow these guys. So it's, they're, they, 0.70
00:08:04.760 I think they love us here. Uh, I saw that, um, billboard that you tweeted, that's in Tabor,
00:08:11.220 Alberta and, uh, somebody out of the, uh, out of just the generosity of their heart,
00:08:18.140 but also in a quest to inform the rest of their community about what real news is.
00:08:22.720 They have a billboard up that says, you know, like if you want real news about the convoy
00:08:26.860 or something to that effect, follow rebel news. And then, you know, there's true North underneath.
00:08:31.140 Uh, but we're featured very prominently on that. And we don't, we don't even know who did that.
00:08:36.320 Somebody just did that out of the goodness of their heart. Um, guys, I wanted to ask you,
00:08:41.100 because as I said, off the top, I think you guys are a very interesting part of this story.
00:08:45.680 You guys are two young guys from Toronto who packed up your entire lives. K2, you packed up 0.99
00:08:53.780 your girlfriend too, and just decided we're moving to Alberta. Um, I guess we'll go before we get to
00:09:00.920 that decision. Let's go back a little. What made you want to work for rebel news? We'll start
00:09:05.780 with key and then we'll go to Sid. Uh, it was actually, uh, what, what, what everybody calls
00:09:11.160 him. That was K one. Um, my dad, he showed me a video and he said, Hey, uh, and I know you want
00:09:17.140 to be like a investigative journalist, but this guy's got the same name as you. And this was like two
00:09:21.760 years ago. And I was like, Whoa, that is weird. And, uh, I guess ever since then, I've just been
00:09:27.900 watching and, and at the time I worked in the music industry. Um, and, uh, I didn't like what
00:09:35.260 I was doing, but I would just keep watching K one's reports. And then I would get into you
00:09:40.240 and then I would get into Ezra. And I was like, this is awesome. This is just absolutely nuts.
00:09:46.340 I guess, uh, for myself there, it's kind of long winded, uh, the answer, but when the whole
00:09:52.240 pandemic thing started, I, uh, uh, right before it happened, I was actually a roofer and then I
00:09:56.760 switched to doing a kitchen work so that I could do school. Uh, but then the pandemic shut down
00:10:02.120 with my opportunities at school, uh, for electromagnetic engineering, you can't do a
00:10:06.980 welding class online. Right. Um, so that kind of took me out of the education system. And then I
00:10:12.380 kind of was free floating, didn't know what I was doing, but I was heavily observing the politics
00:10:17.340 around everything that was going on. Uh, of course, that's when most of the chaos was happening in
00:10:22.540 the States. Um, and I didn't know what I was going to do. I was kind of, yeah, in this abyss
00:10:28.720 where I didn't know what was going to happen. And I was quite literally going to hop on a freight
00:10:32.760 train in the middle of the night and go anywhere because I was sick and tired of the city being stuck
00:10:36.640 in this quarantine world. Um, and that year I put out one resume and it was for rebel news. And
00:10:44.700 the reason I put out that resume to rebel news was because I knew there was nowhere else in Toronto
00:10:50.140 I could work without a mask. Um, and so I thought I'd go for it. And I actually, I, I, I got the job
00:10:57.420 of course. And that started off as a, me being the mail boy. Uh, and then slowly, you know, it was like,
00:11:02.420 Hey, we need a couple of socials edited. Uh, can you do a little bit of editing? And then it was,
00:11:06.200 Hey, you know, can you hold the camera and shoot for David Menzies? And then it was, Hey,
00:11:09.760 here's the microphone. So, um, it's, uh, I'm very grateful for that opportunity. And it's,
00:11:15.140 it was a shoot in the shot in the dark, uh, for sure. And I'm very grateful that it happened.
00:11:21.020 Well, if we're, uh, if we're getting into how we got into rebel news,
00:11:23.760 then, uh, then yeah, it's, uh, I last February, I, uh, I applied for a video editor. I didn't hear
00:11:31.440 back for a month. Didn't hear back for another month. Didn't hear back for the next month after
00:11:35.820 that. And I was like, well, I guess that didn't work out. And, uh, and then I, I just, I looked
00:11:42.080 at my phone and I saw that Lincoln J and Mocha work at rebel. I didn't even know that when I was
00:11:46.880 watching, I guess I was just an average viewer, just watching, uh, one report in the next report.
00:11:52.480 I was busy. Right. And I was like, I went to school with those guys. Like they were in my class
00:11:57.120 and I don't, I don't want to expose them too hard, but I was teaching Lincoln how to do things.
00:12:01.720 I was like, so I messaged them like in school, I messaged them. I was like, Lincoln, man,
00:12:06.500 get me a job. And, uh, and he, uh, I guess he, he spoke with a few guys there and then I got the
00:12:13.840 call. Um, and then I found out later that, uh, they had my resume pulled up to the top the whole
00:12:20.500 time and it was just too busy, which is, it sucks, but I, I'm glad I was able to join while I was in
00:12:27.720 Calgary. I think that that was, that was God's work right there. That was just timing. Perfect
00:12:31.460 timing. Well, speaking of which immediately after you ended up sleeping in Arthur's church, right?
00:12:35.440 Yeah. Um, what, uh, what do your families think about the work that you do? K2, I know your dad
00:12:46.380 is a true believer. Um, but, but what do they think about you guys working at rebel news? Cause I know
00:12:51.920 some people, you know, they don't like your kids being out there. I know I don't. Um, but what are
00:12:57.400 your families? Where are they at on this? I, uh, so two years ago I, uh, was dead broke. I worked at
00:13:06.100 a warehouse and, uh, but my whole family knew that I wanted to work in the camera stuff, do camera
00:13:13.160 stuff. And I was working for free in the music industry for a huge artist, but I wasn't getting
00:13:17.800 any recognition. And the whole time my family was like, you got to do something kid. So at that time,
00:13:23.880 my, uh, my grandpa, he just, he bought me a, uh, $2,000 camera. And he said, he said, pay me back
00:13:29.520 when you make some money. And I said, wow. So that kept happening and happening. And then I got the job
00:13:34.840 at rebel and they're like, okay, you finally got something, but what the hell are you doing? And I was
00:13:41.220 like, well, this is what I believe in. Right. And, uh, but like you said, my dad at the time, he's like,
00:13:46.000 this is awesome. Cause he showed me rebel news, but the other side of my family was like,
00:13:49.680 you're peddling conspiracy theories. You're the charter of rights is a conspiracy theory.
00:13:55.680 And then now, uh, I think you can jump to this week. They're all reaching out again. Uh, grandma,
00:14:01.120 grandpas, everybody there, they're saying, uh, you know, good job, kid. You finally did it.
00:14:05.800 And I was like, yeah. So they love it now. Um, and I guess for me, both, both sides of my family
00:14:11.620 have been, uh, really proud and really supportive. Uh, my dad, of course, since the beginning,
00:14:15.360 he's been big fan of rebel for a very long time. Uh, I think probably like yours as well
00:14:19.860 there. Um, and I think my other side of the family, my mom, of course, is always very proud
00:14:24.740 of me and she's happy that I find satisfaction in the work that I'm doing. Um, and as this
00:14:29.840 has gone along, uh, she's just been kind of more and more proud that I was willing to stand
00:14:33.860 up when I did, uh, because a lot of people were quiet at first, but now a lot of, most of
00:14:38.840 the people in my family are being like, yeah, there is something wrong here. And I think
00:14:42.340 they're, they're very grateful that I kind of took that leap, stuck to what I believed
00:14:46.280 in and just kept going.
00:14:48.740 Yeah. I think that's one of the things that we have to, and I'm terrible at this, having
00:14:53.040 a little bit of grace for people who are now coming around to my way of thinking. I'm full
00:14:58.360 of, I told you so's all the time. And I really should, if we're out there proselytizing the
00:15:03.740 good word of, uh, conservatism and taking care of yourself and minding your own business and
00:15:09.060 making your own decisions, when people come around to our way of thinking, we have to
00:15:12.600 be a little more graceful than I tend to be. Um, I want to ask you to, you two are both
00:15:18.940 from Toronto, decided to pack up your lives and move to Alberta. First, I'll ask you guys
00:15:26.040 why you made that decision. And then I'm going to ask you, what is the, um, what are your
00:15:30.800 impressions of, uh, uh, us Albertans? Um, but first, why, why did you guys make that
00:15:36.940 decision? We'll start with K2 and then we'll go to Sid. So I've always wanted to move out West.
00:15:43.060 I think for about three years now, since I became aware of just, just government overreach. And I
00:15:49.340 would always just look at things out here and just be so free. I want to live on a farm. I want
00:15:53.600 anybody to talk to me. Uh, I want to see the mountains when I wake up and have my smoking coffee.
00:15:58.580 And, uh, it was just a pipe dream for so long. And then I saw in my hometown of Bradford, Ontario,
00:16:08.200 my Walmart got taped off of non-essential items. And I, right then and there, I said, screw this.
00:16:14.600 I am done here. There's no way that I'm letting this get any further. Cause I'm no vaccine passports
00:16:20.060 in Alberta. I packed up my car that night before I really even told my fiance, uh, girlfriend at the
00:16:27.700 time that, and I was like, are you coming with me? Cause I'm not doing this. Like, this is,
00:16:32.000 this is just insane. And I, and pretty much on our way, we got a place in Calgary. Um,
00:16:38.040 and, and we're just, we're, we're going there. My, my family was super happy about it.
00:16:42.560 My impression of Albertans, uh, I live on in Forest Lawn, which is, uh, I guess the Jane and Finch of,
00:16:49.700 of Calgary, which is the ghetto. Um, so my first impression was, oh yeah, okay. All right. This is okay. 1.00
00:16:57.240 And then, uh, and then I experienced Calgary for like, for real. And I don't think I'm ever going
00:17:03.980 to leave ever. And today, or sorry, this week was my first time really experiencing rural Albertans
00:17:09.560 getting together. And I am definitely not leaving. Albertans are absolutely awesome. They all share
00:17:16.100 the same sentiment. I do leave me alone. Those are my politics. Leave me alone. That's it. Uh, Sid,
00:17:24.820 what about you? Well, I guess for myself, like I mentioned, I was ready to kind of hop on the
00:17:29.340 midnight train going anywhere. Um, and, but then I got the job with Rebel, uh, and I wanted to stick
00:17:35.500 to it as close as I could. And when the opportunity came to travel to Alberta with Rebel News, uh, like
00:17:41.660 to go with work, so to speak, uh, I didn't want to pass that opportunity up because, uh, Alberta is, 0.99
00:17:47.940 it is a special part of Canada. Every part of Canada is special. Uh, but this is the, uh, the Texas
00:17:52.600 of Canada, right? So to speak. Uh, and my, I have family here. Uh, my grandfather came here,
00:17:58.740 uh, from Europe and he traveled the road after, but I, I knew at some point I'd want to kind of come
00:18:05.500 here. And during my work with Rebel News, I have been able to do a lot of traveling. Uh, and I think
00:18:11.680 that really puts things into perspective. Like these people who have been locked down and they
00:18:15.740 haven't been mobile in this time, they don't see the contrast of situations that different people
00:18:21.340 in different provinces are dealing with. Um, and you know, it's time I put my big boy pants on,
00:18:26.600 get out of the, get out of my hometown. And I, I wanted to make that leap because I knew it was
00:18:31.540 kind of, it was time. It was time to just get out there and go on my own accord. And Alberta is the
00:18:37.320 place to do it. And my girlfriend was, uh, uh, very happy to come with me a little, a little shy to it,
00:18:42.500 but very, uh, very happy to come with me. Excellent. Um, I guess I don't want to keep
00:18:48.540 you guys too long because you are literally in the heart of one of the biggest stories of the
00:18:53.460 world right now. Um, if, uh, you weren't covering the blockade at Coutts or Pastor Archer Poloski's
00:19:03.060 many, many, many, many, many, many, many arrests, including, I think another one is we are recording
00:19:07.740 this right now. Um, what would you be focusing on here at rebel news? K2, you go first.
00:19:14.320 Uh, well, when I had my, uh, my half interview and half just talking to Ezra, um, uh, because I,
00:19:21.860 as I said before, Lincoln, uh, basically got me the end. Um, I told him that I, I told him that I
00:19:29.760 told my friends, I got a job at rebel news and they didn't know what I was talking about.
00:19:35.460 And I saw a huge issue with the fact that, um, the youth aren't aware of the only news
00:19:42.820 organization that's really telling the truth. So I told him, um, my, my number one goal here is,
00:19:48.920 is to bring the kids to rebel. Um, the kids as in, you know, 15 to 25, uh, the people who,
00:19:56.880 who can really, uh, who are the future leaders of our country need to be, um, full of information.
00:20:02.320 They need to know what's going on. And, uh, and I showed them some, I showed Ezra some stuff that
00:20:07.160 I've made before. And I said, listen, I can do this. And, and I think I've proven that now that,
00:20:11.840 um, I would really just be working on, on creative pieces and documentaries that I've been wanting to
00:20:18.740 do, but I've been so busy, um, that just really, uh, show the world to the youth in a way that they
00:20:25.000 can digest it. I think that's, that's really even what I'm still focusing on, even with this
00:20:29.580 situation. That's, that's what's been in my mind. I was like, the kids need to see this.
00:20:34.760 You know, that's a, one thing that I think the entire conservative movement falls down on
00:20:39.400 is, uh, young people. If I know anything about young people and I've got a bunch of them,
00:20:44.860 uh, especially in that age range, I think all like, I have one that's a little bit younger
00:20:50.340 is they don't like being told what to do. And that's why I'm a conservative, like as a conservative
00:20:56.080 adult, I'm like, yeah, I don't like being what told what to do either. And my, when my kids don't
00:21:00.720 like to hear it from me, I certainly don't like to hear it from Justin Trudeau. And we're not great
00:21:04.620 at communicating to younger people. You know, that feeling where you don't want to be told what to
00:21:09.360 do and you don't like being told what to say and how to say it. That's conservative. Get over here
00:21:14.980 guys. Um, and so, um, yeah, to see some more youth outreach and to break down conservative ideas
00:21:22.060 into a way that young people understand, I think that's, uh, really great. We should not be deciding
00:21:27.060 that young people are just going to be socialists until they pay taxes and come back around. We 0.82
00:21:32.080 should be reaching out to them far sooner. Uh, Sid, what would you be working on, um, at rebel news
00:21:38.260 if you weren't in the heart of the largest story in the world? Well, uh, kind of to Kian's point,
00:21:44.700 actually, the truth is easy to say, but it's harder to convey. Um, sorry, I'm not trying to rhyme
00:21:49.300 there. Um, but yeah, getting that message out there is a difficult thing to have for
00:21:55.840 a wider audience because only certain people want to hear certain things. Um, but one of
00:22:00.440 the things why I absolutely love, uh, working with global news and what we do here, um, in
00:22:05.880 comparison, like I mentioned, you know, I'm, I'm new to this industry. Uh, certainly I used
00:22:10.520 to be a roofer. I used to be, um, uh, a stock manager. I used to be a cook, but the thing
00:22:16.720 about journalism and the thing about this industry is, uh, especially in our position
00:22:21.600 where we'll be in front of the camera, we're behind the camera, we're doing all the editing,
00:22:24.880 we're doing all of the steps required to make the story is there are so many layers that
00:22:30.320 you have to contend with, uh, that it is a very interesting challenge. And to put all
00:22:36.080 those pieces together in a way that is proper, uh, is a challenge in and of itself, but it's
00:22:41.500 something I love doing.
00:22:42.240 Um, I thought that you were going to say the one thing you love about working at rebel
00:22:46.640 news is your boss, but you didn't. So that's fine. They're amazing. There's a, there's no
00:22:53.800 swear words out here. So it's not like the thing where they're just yelling at you from
00:22:58.520 above. Right.
00:22:59.280 Yeah. That's one thing I've noticed is that everybody has this, uh, conception about, um,
00:23:03.320 bosses. It's like, yeah, that's the guy you hate. That's the guy that you just, you
00:23:07.520 just go home and you just make fists and look at, look at the mirror or something. And
00:23:12.080 I've never had that feeling, even to the slightest of any management in rebel news. It's, it's
00:23:18.680 just amazing.
00:23:19.400 Well, and let me, let me just add quickly there. Um, the only reason why I was able to
00:23:23.220 go from the mail boy to a small editor, to editing larger things, to being in front of
00:23:28.160 the camera and everything like that. The only reason I've been able to progress is because
00:23:32.120 of the graces that have been given to me by rebel news and the management team, including
00:23:36.540 you guys.
00:23:38.180 Well, I was just teasing you guys, but thanks for those kind words. Uh, I didn't want to
00:23:43.560 turn this into like, uh, you know, you guys arguing for your next pay raise, but, uh, I
00:23:48.440 should, I should tell you that I'm just so proud of the work that you do. And when the journalists
00:23:54.560 are doing great work and the world is noticing, I feel like I'm doing my job properly because
00:24:00.340 we've helped you develop your skills and I shouldn't keep you any longer because as I said,
00:24:04.940 you guys are in the heart of the biggest story in the world and you are the only ones trusted
00:24:09.400 to tell that story. And, uh, let me reiterate, I'm just so proud of not only the quality of
00:24:16.360 your journalism, but just how hard you're working. You guys are working literally night
00:24:20.160 and day, sometimes sleeping in your car to make sure that the Canadian public gets the
00:24:25.520 truth. So guys get out there, take on the world and, uh, tell the truth.
00:24:30.020 Thank you, Shira. Thank you. Thanks guys.
00:24:43.480 I'm so proud of the work that these two are doing. You can tell they are passionate about
00:24:46.940 freedom, but also about fulfilling their journalistic obligation of filling the void
00:24:51.180 the mainstream media has left for them. And for us as a network to support their independent
00:24:56.140 journalism from the border, you can visit convoyreports.com and to support the lawyer
00:25:01.720 hired to help the truckers negotiate with the police, you can visit truckerlawyer.ca to offset
00:25:09.240 the legal fees of their incredible lawyer, Chad Williamson. Well, everybody, that's the show for
00:25:13.780 tonight. Thank you so much for tuning in. I'll see everybody back here in the same time in the same
00:25:18.540 place next week. And as always remember, don't let the government tell you that you've had too much to think.
00:25:26.140 of Underdog claims explain a little bit.
00:25:31.300 Going back for our hardest orchestra we are doing, you should choose to say just a little bit.
00:25:32.760 I'll see you next time.
