Rebel News Podcast - SHEILA GUNN REID ｜ New Year's Eve '12 Days of Cringemas' Special

00:00:00.000 It's the 12, perhaps 13 days of cringemass.

00:00:17.620 I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed, and you're watching The Gunn Show.

00:00:30.000 Well, friends, this is a recorded version of The Gunn Show, because for at least at some

00:00:43.140 point during the Christmas season, I would like to be unchained from the desk at which

00:00:46.540 I'm sitting.

00:00:46.960 So I've worked ahead, and I've called in the big guns.

00:00:51.460 Yes, I've called in my very best friend, Lise Merle, to help me with the show today.

00:00:57.260 And there are so many double entendres there, for sure.

00:01:03.620 I was just in my head.

00:01:05.060 I was like, oh, they're never going to let this go in the comments.

00:01:07.960 No, not at all.

00:01:10.140 It's fine.

00:01:11.020 But I wanted to have Lise on the show, first of all, to celebrate the approximately last

00:01:16.500 two and a half weeks of her life, because as many of you know, she has become an acclaimed

00:01:21.300 LGBTQIA author with her best-selling children's book, but also best-selling book about horses,

00:01:30.100 Buck the Rainbow Unicorn, available at BuckTheRainbowUnicorn.com or on Amazon.

00:01:36.020 And thank you to everybody who's made Lise's book a success.

00:01:39.800 She's already tearing up.

00:01:40.900 Look at her.

00:01:41.380 But one of the most popular segments of the show that Lise and I do together, the Rebel

00:01:51.080 Roundup on Tuesday and Wednesdays, is something that happens at the end of the show, and it's

00:01:55.380 something we created together, and it's called The Daily Cringe.

00:01:57.980 And we love it, right?

00:01:59.460 It's the best.

00:02:00.020 It's our favorite segment.

00:02:01.320 I look forward to it every single day.

00:02:03.440 And I know the viewers do, too.

00:02:04.780 And it's so important to poke fun at the people who appoint themselves with no authority whatsoever

00:02:12.040 to be our moral and intellectual superiors, because if you really watch them, they're 1.00

00:02:17.580 amoral idiots, by and large. 1.00

00:02:19.800 Yes. 1.00

00:02:20.700 Yes.

00:02:21.040 We got inmates running the asylum, it seems.

00:02:25.540 Yes.

00:02:25.880 And so what we know about people who are not good at their jobs is that they are often sensitive,

00:02:32.720 very sensitive about people pointing that out, especially us peasants and plebs.

00:02:37.620 And I'm happy to do it.

00:02:39.860 I'm happy to do it.

00:02:41.260 The pleasure is ours.

00:02:42.720 The pleasure is all ours.

00:02:44.840 We're going to look back at some of the heaviest hitters, the recidivists in the Daily Cringe 1.00

00:02:53.560 category.

00:02:54.820 Some of them were selected by me.

00:02:56.460 Some of them were sent to me by Lise.

00:02:58.640 But we're going to look back.

00:02:59.880 We're going to poke a little fun and end the, I guess, kind of a terrible year with

00:03:06.920 the Liberals being re-elected, rewarded for 10 years of corruption with what appears to

00:03:13.200 be approaching a majority.

00:03:15.600 I think they're going to beg, steal, and borrow a way to get there.

00:03:17.780 But in the meantime, if you're not going to cry, at least you can laugh.

00:03:21.600 You may as well laugh.

00:03:22.980 Yes.

00:03:23.560 Yeah.

00:03:24.600 All right.

00:03:25.160 So this is our second shot at recording this.

00:03:27.860 I tried to do it a different way, but nothing would cooperate.

00:03:32.340 So we're trying it a similar way to what we did last year.

00:03:35.340 I did a quick test run.

00:03:36.980 It appears to be working.

00:03:38.980 So, figures crossed, let's go with the first Daily Cringe.

00:03:44.580 So I'll share my screen.

00:03:46.620 One of the top general cries during an apology for systemic racism in the armed forces.

00:03:51.840 This made me want to jump out of my skin.

00:03:55.020 Let's watch it together.

00:03:56.800 Systemic racism, racial discrimination, and harassment are an affront to these values.

00:04:03.560 And yet, we allowed these injustices to occur and fester within our ranks.

00:04:10.780 Therefore, on behalf of the Canadian Armed Forces, I offer my most sincere and deepest apologies.

00:04:22.020 I apologize to every CAF member, veteran, who experienced racism, discrimination, and harassment.

00:04:35.380 And I acknowledge we failed you.

00:04:38.320 Oh, my goodness.

00:04:39.300 Thank you.

00:04:40.780 Do you feel bad already?

00:04:44.180 I know I do.

00:04:46.180 It's just so touching that our military is concentrating on hurt feelings instead of fighting bad guys.

00:04:56.880 Yeah.

00:04:57.540 We have a crisis in recruitment, a crisis in retention, a crisis in procurement.

00:05:03.000 They're deploying without appropriate gear, like, you know, flak jackets, helmets, families are sending MREs.

00:05:13.200 But we've got the DEI head of the military bawling on camera.

00:05:22.600 Weeping on stage.

00:05:24.940 On the first day of Cringemas. 0.98

00:05:26.940 On the first day of Cringemas, my bestie gave to me the military crying like sissies. 1.00

00:05:34.340 I can't. 0.96

00:05:35.040 It's just so bad.

00:05:36.340 Like, I just, I feel bad for the guys who signed up to the military who are like, I want to make the world a better place.

00:05:43.680 I want to give back to my country.

00:05:45.540 I'm a warrior.

00:05:47.080 I'm a warrior.

00:05:48.400 I've got a sense of civic duty.

00:05:49.740 And they're like, oh, oh, oh, she's the boss? 0.99

00:05:52.880 Everybody, please, a moment of silence for the hurt feelings of somebody 30 years ago?

00:05:58.580 Oh, I'm, oh, okay.

00:06:01.780 It's terrible.

00:06:02.720 It's terrible.

00:06:03.840 It's embarrassing.

00:06:04.780 It's cringeworthy.

00:06:05.780 It's bad.

00:06:06.620 Let's move on to the next one.

00:06:08.180 Because the next one, I almost forgot about this one until you sent it to me.

00:06:15.260 Oh.

00:06:16.040 And if this isn't a United Church of Canada, I'm going to be shocked.

00:06:22.980 I'll be just amazed.

00:06:24.820 Let's watch it together.

00:06:27.160 Okay.

00:06:28.820 This is a church in Canada with a drag queen in front of kids.

00:06:32.680 Tell me this isn't a sign of the times if you're a Christian.

00:06:35.440 A sign of what times?

00:06:36.780 Oh, the end times.

00:06:38.040 The end ones.

00:06:39.060 The end ones.

00:06:40.860 Doesn't get any more disgusting than this.

00:06:44.580 Good grief.

00:06:46.720 In this house, we believe in equality, peace, kindness, and love.

00:06:52.420 You know what's missing here?

00:06:53.960 A cross.

00:06:55.640 I just.

00:06:55.820 I don't know the, like, gay regalia, but I don't see a cross.

00:07:01.200 I actually got a full-on body quiver looking at that person. 0.52

00:07:07.220 Just all over cringe.

00:07:08.780 Full body cringe, guys.

00:07:11.480 And we haven't even hit play yet.

00:07:12.920 Let's hit play.

00:07:14.320 Okay.

00:07:14.840 Here we go.

00:07:15.520 Oh, boy.

00:07:17.240 What a treat to be here this morning, as I am most Sunday mornings.

00:07:22.480 Queen of the back row of the choir.

00:07:24.180 I like that.

00:07:25.020 You know what?

00:07:25.360 I think we can, but we can punch up.

00:07:27.120 Queen of the bases will also suffice. 1.00

00:07:29.120 Unless Ian or Cliff, one of you, wants to be the queen.

00:07:34.540 No, no.

00:07:35.440 But seriously, I love being a part of this community as a part of the choir.

00:07:40.740 You know, music is such a beautiful way to connect with ourselves, with spirituality, with the world around us.

00:07:46.040 And I'm so excited I get to share this part of me, too.

00:07:51.720 Because let me tell you some...

00:07:53.360 You can keep going.

00:07:55.600 Is this the pastor?

00:08:00.540 Oh, boy.

00:08:01.740 That feels good.

00:08:02.680 I'm really deprived for affection.

00:08:05.840 No, but seriously, one of the things about drag is that, unlike Vegas,

00:08:11.680 what happens in drag does not necessarily stay in drag.

00:08:18.680 Sometimes you put on those heels.

00:08:21.100 Sometimes you put on that wig.

00:08:22.580 Sometimes you try a piece of clothing that somebody said is not for you.

00:08:27.340 And it unlocks something.

00:08:29.780 It unlocks something fierce.

00:08:31.780 Maybe it unlocks something.

00:08:33.460 Maybe it's not fierce for you, but for me it was fierce.

00:08:35.540 Oh, I feel like something came up.

00:08:36.480 As you can tell.

00:08:39.720 Okay.

00:08:40.160 So we're soft-launching cross-dressing in Canadian churches is what we're doing. 0.85

00:08:45.600 This is what we're doing.

00:08:46.780 Literally encouraging parishioners and young children to dip their toe into drag,

00:08:52.800 to maybe just try it out, see if they like it.

00:08:55.880 See if they like it.

00:08:56.860 This is what passes for okay in Canada.

00:09:03.160 I think that was the pastor.

00:09:07.200 No.

00:09:07.720 Because he said something like, you see me here every single week.

00:09:13.420 I think that might have been the pastor.

00:09:16.040 Or part of the choir.

00:09:17.160 I kept looking and looking and looking.

00:09:21.160 And people have corrected me.

00:09:23.240 And again, I look at things through my own Catholic worldview.

00:09:26.580 I've said before, I notice an absence of crucifix in these places.

00:09:31.420 That's a Catholic thing.

00:09:32.580 We like to have Jesus on the cross still.

00:09:34.040 But even, okay, where's the cross in this church?

00:09:38.240 There's no cross anywhere.

00:09:40.820 You can find the rainbow everywhere.

00:09:44.160 Where's the cross?

00:09:44.920 Because believing in God or Jesus in churches, in United Churches, excuse me, isn't a prerequisite in Canada.

00:09:53.060 They actually have atheist pastors in the United Church. 0.98

00:09:57.440 Or ladies that think, like crazy lunatic ladies that think that Jesus was a woman. 1.00

00:10:02.360 That say that Jesus could have been a woman. 0.99

00:10:04.540 Nobody knows.

00:10:05.720 It's just a big mystery.

00:10:07.680 Like, I just.

00:10:10.140 Did that, that was, that gave me five minutes of all of her body cringes. 1.00

00:10:14.880 That there.

00:10:15.280 And you know what?

00:10:15.980 Just for the record, we never want to hear you guys talking about our makeup ever again.

00:10:20.160 After watching this.

00:10:21.320 Don't send me an email about my hair.

00:10:23.960 About my makeup.

00:10:24.880 About what we wear.

00:10:26.260 The off limits.

00:10:27.980 Okay.

00:10:28.440 You see, you saw from that video, how bad it can be.

00:10:33.360 Okay.

00:10:35.580 Thank you.

00:10:36.360 Thank you for your support and love.

00:10:38.380 The little kids right up front.

00:10:39.420 The little kids right up front to be brainwashed.

00:10:41.820 Everybody clapping.

00:10:43.280 I watch this and I'm like, tell me.

00:10:46.040 Tell me.

00:10:47.080 Argue with me.

00:10:48.180 Because I'm about to tell you the Reformation was bad. 0.55

00:10:51.220 When I see that, I'm like, these are the fruits of the Reformation right here. 0.92

00:10:57.420 I just.

00:10:59.360 No.

00:11:00.480 This, again, I say it all the time.

00:11:02.720 And this is not a theology show, but that is a violation of the first commandment.

00:11:08.660 That you will have no other gods, but the God.

00:11:12.340 Because that is a person who is remaking himself in the image of whatever he would like himself to be.

00:11:19.560 Because it feels good.

00:11:20.900 Because it feels good.

00:11:22.180 Because it satiates his own needs.

00:11:26.300 It is the furthest thing.

00:11:27.600 It is the furthest thing away from looking to God.

00:11:32.220 Yeah.

00:11:32.480 And I'm glad you brought up like if it feels good.

00:11:35.380 Because that is the satanic mantra.

00:11:40.340 Do what thou willst.

00:11:42.240 Do what thou willst.

00:11:43.340 Not do God's will.

00:11:44.380 Not do good.

00:11:46.280 But do what thou willst.

00:11:48.540 Chase that good feeling instead of goodness.

00:11:52.080 Because sometimes doing good actually feels bad. 0.94

00:11:54.560 Like doing the right thing sometimes kind of sucks. 0.65

00:11:57.180 Oh. 0.68

00:11:57.440 But it's the right thing to do.

00:11:58.860 These people chase happiness.

00:12:00.580 And it's like, you know, that's been a real problem with modern society.

00:12:05.280 Is they chase the feeling of happiness instead of the action of good.

00:12:10.640 The action of good actually makes your community and the world better for other people.

00:12:16.060 And the feeling that chasing happiness is actually a selfish way to go about your life.

00:12:20.480 I think they're chasing a lot more than happiness, Sheila.

00:12:23.600 I think that that's just a nice umbrella term for some of the more dark and devious things that humans can chase here.

00:12:31.660 Yeah.

00:12:31.960 Well, you chase happiness instead of goodness and you always end up unhappy.

00:12:35.600 That's right.

00:12:36.180 Right?

00:12:38.460 All right.

00:12:39.100 Next one.

00:12:40.640 Please let it be better than the last one.

00:12:42.440 And these are in no particular order.

00:12:44.900 This is number three.

00:12:45.900 This is third day of Christmas.

00:12:48.560 Okay.

00:12:49.180 This is Janice Irwin.

00:12:52.320 She's a two-term MLA for Edmonton Highlands Norwood, a member of the NDP.

00:12:56.780 I'm honestly not sure if this is a man or a woman.

00:12:58.800 I'll assume woman based on the name. 0.94

00:13:00.840 She's the example of the radicals we have allowed to infiltrate our institutions. 1.00

00:13:04.120 She only cares about one issue, which is giving more rights to the alphabet crowd. 0.99

00:13:08.180 Okay.

00:13:08.440 Janice, we reacted to this live.

00:13:12.400 Let's go back a little bit.

00:13:18.820 Look at the lineup of cameras.

00:13:22.900 Claire's feet.

00:13:23.540 Okay.

00:13:26.140 Close your eyes.

00:13:26.980 You can see me by the way that I feel.

00:13:29.400 Can't look at it.

00:13:30.960 I can't look at it.

00:13:31.200 I can't look at it.

00:13:32.860 Close your eyes.

00:13:34.780 You can see me by the way that I feel.

00:13:37.440 Close to me around.

00:13:39.500 Let's get lost in the sound.

00:13:41.280 Close your eyes.

00:13:42.340 You can see me by the way that I feel.

00:13:43.180 Okay, that's enough.

00:13:44.540 That's something she published to her own TikTok.

00:13:52.280 Out there just dancing on a dirty Edmonton street.

00:13:57.780 Oh, I was going to say, I was a lineup of cameras.

00:14:02.000 That's what happened.

00:14:03.140 These are tax payer dollars at work, guys.

00:14:06.520 And here we have a barefoot Gary Busey dancing in an outdoor urinal.

00:14:12.400 Oh, that's the government in waiting in Alberta.

00:14:19.100 That, that.

00:14:20.520 Oh, Janice.

00:14:21.480 But you never failed to disappoint, buddy.

00:14:23.480 Like, thanks so much for giving us all of this cringy content over this last 2025.

00:14:29.820 We look forward to a lot more of you in 2026.

00:14:33.360 Imagine, like, if the NDP were in power, just how horrible things would be.

00:14:39.340 Uh, imagine a trade mission to Washington led by the likes of Janice Irwin. 0.95

00:14:45.680 Could you imagine what Trump would be like looking at that?

00:14:51.540 I mean, Janice Irwin, what, after we separate, she's more than welcome to just move to old Canada. 1.00

00:14:58.040 And, uh, and she can do whatever she likes there. 0.99

00:15:00.840 But there's coming a day when there is going to be a reckoning when we put this all to bed.

00:15:06.260 And, uh, friends, I do believe that, um, that we're starting that reckoning.

00:15:10.400 For sure.

00:15:11.720 I just, you know, Trump's got Kristi Noem.

00:15:16.320 And we've got, we've got this walking in the, could you imagine her just walking in the White House and bare feet? 0.96

00:15:24.560 He's just.

00:15:25.100 Just goblin feet, too, after being in that alley. 0.98

00:15:29.220 Like, hello, hepatitis, planters, warts.

00:15:33.360 And that's at best.

00:15:34.580 Yes, yes.

00:15:36.280 Tetanus.

00:15:36.980 Your, your, your random funguses.

00:15:40.300 Like, uh, sorry.

00:15:42.360 Edmonton's alleys.

00:15:44.060 Adjacent White Ave.

00:15:45.380 Those are just public urinals.

00:15:48.220 Absolutely.

00:15:49.180 One billion percent can, can back this up.

00:15:53.260 Vouch for this.

00:15:54.400 Outdoor urinals.

00:15:54.880 There's like 10 cameras there. 0.93

00:15:56.220 It just sort of flashed, but it's like, there's like 10 serious cameras lined up to catch this lunatic dancing.

00:16:03.940 And like, if there are 10 cameras there, I'm going to have something, I think, I'm going to do my best to have something important to say.

00:16:10.900 This is my moment to get it all out.

00:16:12.880 And she's like, you know what I'm going to do?

00:16:15.120 I'm going to dance around in urine.

00:16:17.020 Yeah, it's exactly what she thought.

00:16:21.100 Seize the day, Janice.

00:16:22.780 Do you remember when it was so tone deaf during COVID, when they were saying that our hospitals were so overwhelmed with patients, and then all of the staff in the hospitals made TikToks of coordinated dances?

00:16:32.320 This feels like modern day tone deaf like that.

00:16:35.800 Yeah.

00:16:36.260 Right.

00:16:36.700 Yeah.

00:16:37.040 There are homeless people.

00:16:38.520 How many homeless people did you have to step over barefoot?

00:16:41.140 Did you dance over?

00:16:42.280 Did you prance across?

00:16:43.180 Yeah.

00:16:46.880 Also, I'm not taking any, you better get your COVID shot advice from someone who's doing that in bare feet on an Edmonton street.

00:16:54.500 No, ma'am.

00:16:54.800 Sorry.

00:16:55.760 I'm not taking advice about communicable diseases from that person.

00:16:59.880 Ever, never.

00:17:00.840 Never, never.

00:17:03.000 Yeah.

00:17:03.620 Next one.

00:17:05.980 Okay.

00:17:06.880 I don't recall.

00:17:08.380 Oh, it's this.

00:17:09.500 Oh, it's okay.

00:17:11.080 Okay.

00:17:11.160 Let's just see.

00:17:14.020 Am I getting it?

00:17:15.520 Yep.

00:17:16.220 Okay.

00:17:16.580 This is, I think, quite potentially the cringiest thing of the year, but this is a year of cringe.

00:17:24.520 This is the year of the cringe.

00:17:26.620 You ready?

00:17:27.580 Yeah.

00:17:31.300 You know it.

00:17:33.420 It's Mark Carney and Diana Fox Carney.

00:17:37.620 Get your-

00:17:37.980 They just won.

00:17:38.760 Get your velociraptor wings up, Canada.

00:17:42.100 Okay.

00:17:42.420 We're going to all together now.

00:17:44.300 Okay.

00:17:44.880 I'm going to click and play.

00:17:45.960 You ready?

00:17:53.320 This is the one.

00:17:54.260 Oh, my God.

00:18:05.380 Okay.

00:18:05.940 That will never not bring me joy.

00:18:08.580 Okay.

00:18:08.880 Just knowing what an absolute disgrace the entire thing has been with the carnies.

00:18:15.100 And then seeing that and being like, oh, there's no, they got no riz.

00:18:18.520 They got zero riz.

00:18:20.040 Thank you, Toronto area boomers for that, because that's what you did to us. 1.00

00:18:28.560 This is, this is what they gave us.

00:18:30.940 And again, don't write me letters.

00:18:32.440 If you didn't vote for Mark Carney, I'm not talking about you.

00:18:35.100 Yeah.

00:18:36.540 And as we know on the prairies, our boomers are like arch conservatives.

00:18:39.880 They've been through two Trudeaus, so they're doubly conservative, right? 0.98

00:18:42.980 They wanted out 40 years ago.

00:18:44.460 That's right.

00:18:45.220 Exactly.

00:18:46.180 Exactly.

00:18:48.180 But this-

00:18:49.500 What a gift.

00:18:50.460 That's what Toronto gave us.

00:18:52.080 What a gift.

00:18:52.600 Herky, praying mantis, no riz.

00:18:57.500 Herky jerky, Diana Fox, Carnies.

00:19:00.200 Herky jerky, full body, dry heave, set to music of those two.

00:19:06.880 I just-

00:19:07.920 Like I said, I love it.

00:19:12.360 And it will be an enduring gift for the carnies.

00:19:15.180 Okay.

00:19:15.340 I will never get tired of that cringe.

00:19:17.040 Never, ever.

00:19:17.460 I mean, that's the only comfort we can take, is that we are comforted by how cringy they are.

00:19:23.580 But like in the before times, in the olden days, they would be like, stick a spoon in his mouth.

00:19:27.120 He's having a seizure.

00:19:28.880 That would have been the advice if you saw somebody doing that.

00:19:31.620 Don't let him swallow his tongue.

00:19:34.700 Exactly.

00:19:37.380 Now we're like, here, you're in charge now, buddy.

00:19:40.680 Censor the internet.

00:19:43.540 Oh, my word.

00:19:46.200 Horrible.

00:19:47.460 Okay, next one.

00:19:50.320 I'm just picking them off as they come up in my list.

00:19:53.300 You ready?

00:19:55.320 He's-

00:19:56.080 We're fighting the Americans. 0.97

00:19:58.720 Doug Ford, good.

00:20:00.300 Daniel Smith, bad.

00:20:02.000 Let's watch.

00:20:04.200 Look at all these just absolute weirdos in the background.

00:20:09.640 What's-

00:20:10.460 It's just like a Metamucil commercial in the background, isn't it?

00:20:16.000 Oh, my goodness.

00:20:17.460 It's an IBS, an IBS drug.

00:20:21.540 Yeah.

00:20:22.240 Yeah.

00:20:22.560 Mm-hmm.

00:20:23.040 Yeah.

00:20:24.020 Celebrex.

00:20:26.120 We are fighting the Americans. 0.98

00:20:28.460 We are fighting the Americans everywhere they understand. 1.00

00:20:32.480 We're fighting the Americans in the pocketbook. 1.00

00:20:35.740 We have retaliatory tariffs on them.

00:20:38.100 We just hit them again in the auto sector.

00:20:41.300 We're fighting them on Fox News, which is what they understand.

00:20:45.580 We're sending Doug Ford onto Fox News to show them that we're not messing around up here.

00:20:53.720 And we're going to send Danielle next.

00:20:59.340 We're going to-

00:20:59.640 Well, maybe we won't send her.

00:21:00.560 We won't send Danielle.

00:21:01.540 No.

00:21:02.020 Maybe we won't.

00:21:02.620 We won't send Danielle.

00:21:05.520 We're going to keep her.

00:21:06.720 No.

00:21:07.200 Keep her.

00:21:07.660 No.

00:21:08.200 No, it's a bad idea.

00:21:09.060 Forget-

00:21:09.540 Strike that.

00:21:10.200 Strike that.

00:21:10.960 Just ignore that back there.

00:21:12.220 Um, looking back now, knowing what we know, was that a good strategy or a bad strategy

00:21:24.440 to hit the Americans with all those tariffs in the auto sector?

00:21:29.020 And was it a good strategy or a bad strategy?

00:21:32.980 That's right.

00:21:33.440 To have Doug Ford be your-

00:21:35.740 Point person.

00:21:36.360 Foreign affairs minister on this stuff.

00:21:38.460 Your point person with the Americans, your biggest trade-

00:21:42.220 An economic and societal and cultural partner.

00:21:47.260 Was it a good idea to send Doug Ford?

00:21:49.880 Yesterday, Carney got asked a real pointed question about Doug's actions and how they

00:21:55.100 have negatively impacted that.

00:21:56.840 You know what?

00:21:57.860 Send Danielle. 1.00

00:21:58.600 We'll take Danielle any day over these two buffoons. 1.00

00:22:02.560 Any day. 0.98

00:22:04.080 The Americans love her.

00:22:06.060 It's hard not to love her.

00:22:08.020 We're talking on Fox News because that's the only thing the Americans understand.

00:22:13.100 It's the world's leading cable channel.

00:22:16.840 If you want to talk to anybody, you talk there.

00:22:19.000 But you know that Trump watches Fox and Friends.

00:22:22.040 You should be going on Fox and Friends.

00:22:23.740 You go on MSNBC, the only people listening are the Democrats and they don't hold power.

00:22:27.340 That's right.

00:22:28.820 But yeah.

00:22:29.600 We're going to send Doug Ford.

00:22:31.460 Oh, how did Doug Ford's little ad work out?

00:22:33.760 That's exactly right.

00:22:36.360 Increased tariffs across the board and a near international meltdown.

00:22:42.760 Just narrowly averted.

00:22:44.120 But yeah, let's leave it to Doug.

00:22:45.860 Let's just let, you know, here's a strategy.

00:22:48.040 Let's just let Doug off the leash and let him speak his mind.

00:22:52.640 Also, who does he think he is saying, oh, we're going to manage Danielle Smith?

00:22:58.740 She doesn't answer to you. 1.00

00:23:00.460 Well, you're not, you're not in charge of her.

00:23:02.740 And thank God for that.

00:23:04.320 No kidding.

00:23:04.920 No kidding.

00:23:05.420 And you know what?

00:23:05.920 I think it says a thing about a man, about how he talks about women when the women aren't 0.94

00:23:09.540 in the room.

00:23:10.560 That's not a good man.

00:23:13.100 No, no.

00:23:14.680 All right.

00:23:15.900 Next one.

00:23:17.360 Hindsight being 2020 on that one.

00:23:19.600 That little strategy did not work out well, did it?

00:23:23.500 Okay.

00:23:24.000 Let's see the next one.

00:23:25.360 This is.

00:23:26.540 My number one job is make sure we protect the people of Ontario.

00:23:31.460 I need to protect the communities against that tyrant south of the border, which drives

00:23:36.060 me absolutely nuts.

00:23:37.720 And we'll always be there to protect the families and businesses who call our province

00:23:42.460 home.

00:23:42.800 Doug, do you not have a bottle of whiskey to choke on?

00:23:46.940 Like, could you just like, these are, these are the thoughts of a drunk person in a sober

00:23:54.020 person.

00:23:54.820 You know what I mean?

00:23:55.900 Like, this is, this is the, this is the depth at which Doug Ford operates at.

00:24:00.920 Keep calling name, keep calling the president name, Doug.

00:24:04.260 Let's keep, let's watch you keep losing.

00:24:06.600 Like, stay on, bud.

00:24:08.080 Just stay the course.

00:24:09.920 Keep tanking.

00:24:10.560 How's the steel sector doing?

00:24:12.800 Doug, after you've been running your mouth.

00:24:15.060 How's your automotive sector?

00:24:17.200 That's exactly right.

00:24:19.000 That's exactly right.

00:24:19.460 In absolute collapse.

00:24:21.380 It's imploding in on itself like a dying star.

00:24:24.900 They're taking the money the Canadian government is giving them for free and taking it and investing

00:24:29.860 it in the United States.

00:24:31.040 It's all those jobs are going with them.

00:24:32.720 I shouldn't be laughing because those are Canadian jobs that Doug Ford is murdering with

00:24:38.380 his mouth because he won't shut up.

00:24:40.940 Most of Donald Trump's foreign policy comes down to, do I like you and trust you or do

00:24:46.600 I not?

00:24:47.220 Well, and I think that's a rather shallow view of things.

00:24:51.680 Yeah.

00:24:53.300 I mean, but.

00:24:55.100 Depth of a puddle, Doug.

00:24:57.160 Yeah.

00:24:57.700 Like if, if Donald Trump doesn't like you, he's not going to do business with you.

00:25:02.760 So what has, and I'm not saying suck up, but don't go around calling somebody names.

00:25:07.960 Don't be in the middle of a trade war.

00:25:09.600 Don't be antagonistic in the middle of a trade war.

00:25:11.940 But then again, I think Doug Ford is doing a lot of dirty work for Mark Carney and Mark

00:25:16.260 Carney desperately needs to work with his European counterparts to sort of try and right 0.93

00:25:23.620 balance our economy because the Americans aren't playing ball with us. 0.97

00:25:27.020 And so Doug is being, Doug is being, um, the errand boy for Mark Carney in this regard.

00:25:32.420 And, and yet it still won't work.

00:25:34.880 Like it still won't work what they're trying to achieve.

00:25:37.740 Well, it hasn't worked.

00:25:39.260 No, no.

00:25:40.840 And this was like post, this was before Doug Ford thought I should do that ad and ruin

00:25:46.340 everything.

00:25:47.020 You know, I should burn it all down. 0.92

00:25:48.660 It's like in COVID when you're like, maybe I need bangs, like, but at least your bangs can 0.83

00:25:53.860 grow out.

00:25:54.360 Doug Ford is doing that to the entire country right now.

00:25:57.340 Yeah, he is on an economic level.

00:26:00.520 It's really kind of unforgivable.

00:26:02.500 I hope the people of Ontario, I hope the people of Ontario are taking notes on this.

00:26:08.220 Well, so, you know something, a message of the CEO in France, you hurt my people.

00:26:13.400 I'm going to hurt you.

00:26:14.720 You're going to feel the pain in February when these people don't have a paycheck and

00:26:19.600 I'm going to stand up for the people of Ontario.

00:26:21.620 And I encourage all of Canadians, all of Ontarians, stand up for the people because

00:26:28.340 you don't know if you're next.

00:26:29.680 But the thing that ticks me off, I get it.

00:26:31.980 I get the companies move back and forth.

00:26:34.320 But what I don't get when you're someone's largest customer in North America, you're

00:26:40.120 going after the largest customer.

00:26:42.120 You know something?

00:26:43.180 I always say smart people aren't too smart. 1.00

00:26:45.500 And you guys are about as dumb as a bag of hammers for doing this. 1.00

00:26:49.140 So, you know something? 1.00

00:26:50.480 I found a bottle.

00:26:51.720 I don't even drink of Crown Oil, right?

00:26:54.260 I see that Crown Oil.

00:26:55.700 I saw it at home.

00:26:57.120 So, this is what I think about Crown Oil.

00:27:00.280 That's what they could do.

00:27:01.680 And I think everyone else should do the same thing.

00:27:05.340 Start supporting companies.

00:27:07.640 Five Ontario people.

00:27:13.020 That's what we need to do is support each other.

00:27:15.940 You know something?

00:27:16.400 I've got to make this even come out quicker.

00:27:18.680 You know what?

00:27:19.980 He wants to have this big moment.

00:27:21.580 I know Mary wants to lie on the floor right now. 1.00

00:27:24.060 No thing.

00:27:26.540 Okay.

00:27:27.320 He wants to have this big moment, right?

00:27:30.500 He wants to have this big moment.

00:27:31.620 And then it dribbles out of the bottle like a middle-aged man with prostate issues in the

00:27:36.260 middle of the world.

00:27:36.740 Like, it just hardly dribbles out.

00:27:41.760 Like, it was just such a fail.

00:27:44.500 And leave it to Doug to fail in that regard.

00:27:46.740 Oh, God.

00:27:47.500 So funny. 1.00

00:27:48.400 My favorite is, you're dumb as a bag of hammers. 1.00

00:27:52.100 And it's like, no, Doug. 1.00

00:27:53.700 You are.

00:27:54.640 That's bottled in Gimli, Manitoba.

00:27:57.160 Who's the hammer now?

00:27:58.480 And it has a low-flow cap, which you didn't care to confirm before your big stunt.

00:28:03.860 I mean, honestly.

00:28:04.400 The guy in the background, he was like, what?

00:28:08.120 They promised me overtime for this.

00:28:10.200 Like, he's rubbing his head.

00:28:11.400 They said there would be lunch.

00:28:16.160 Right.

00:28:16.580 Right.

00:28:16.960 And yeah, at the end of this, Doug Ford might have tossed the guy a hot dog. 1.00

00:28:20.420 You know, just for having to stand out in the sun and bake and listen to Doug's stupid 0.99

00:28:24.300 stunt, this guy got a hot dog. 0.99

00:28:27.120 Whose side is Doug Ford's on?

00:28:28.920 Not working people. 1.00

00:28:31.140 Let's go to Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow.

00:28:34.960 She loves to jam out with her clam out. 0.95

00:28:37.300 Um, and I'm, I'm regret saying that just now, but we have seen a lot of old lady gyrating 1.00

00:28:45.000 and like side groin from her over the last year. 0.96

00:28:50.700 And, uh, I'm going to start with this one first, but she just loves to cut a rug and look, 1.00

00:28:57.200 so do I, but I don't know. 0.98

00:29:00.640 I try to keep my genitals under wraps when I do. 0.91

00:29:04.480 Let's start with this one. 0.99

00:29:05.580 I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to

00:29:10.100 That is come to these Grammys.

00:29:23.580 Mayor Toronto.

00:29:24.640 It's like I said, you know, Timu Yoko Ono never fails to disappoint.

00:29:40.700 You guys look at her, a creative genius, even in her, in her plumage and costuming.

00:29:48.480 And meanwhile, Jack Layton is rolling in his grave, like a rotisserie chicken while she

00:29:56.160 rides his coattails all the way through the Caribbean festivals of Toronto.

00:30:00.580 Like a hot dog down at the 7-Eleven, just rolling around.

00:30:04.920 It's the baggy bum old lady panties that really do it for me, where there's like a little

00:30:10.560 bit of a cheek hanging out, just, but baggy in the middle.

00:30:14.500 That's your mayor, Toronto.

00:30:16.680 You don't have other problems?

00:30:18.480 You don't have other things going on in Toronto?

00:30:20.740 You need a serious person to deal with Toronto.

00:30:23.540 And we're looking at her baggy granny panties.

00:30:26.480 But I wish they were granny panties, because granny panties have some coverage. 0.99

00:30:31.380 And that was what was missing in all of that.

00:30:33.880 This is full vajazzle, okay?

00:30:36.060 Olivia Chow in full vajazzle. 0.96

00:30:38.740 And respectfully, we would like to bow out of having this.

00:30:43.840 Thank you, no, I'm done.

00:30:44.880 Yes.

00:30:45.180 We've got another Olivia Chow, because she has really been a recidivist this year. 0.64

00:30:52.020 I like this one because it lists all the bad things happening in Toronto at the same time

00:30:55.820 while she's dancing.

00:31:02.020 Dancing again.

00:31:02.880 It's really sad, isn't it?

00:31:07.800 Yeah.

00:31:10.720 Vajazzle.

00:31:12.720 Like, just dancing again.

00:31:14.360 You know, I think this really illustrates the selfie culture that modern politics has been hijacked by.

00:31:26.920 And as long as you look like you're having a good time and like what you're doing is fun and exciting

00:31:32.980 and engaging for social audiences that we won't notice that you're letting everything burn to the ground in the background.

00:31:41.840 And I think we have to stop this.

00:31:43.140 Like, start calling politicians out on their selfie culture.

00:31:49.540 Does the mayor have a St. Vitus' dance?

00:31:53.320 Do you know what that is?

00:31:54.620 No.

00:31:54.720 So it was like when they were in the Middle Ages, an entire town was afflicted with this dancing sickness.

00:32:03.000 And the people were dropping dead.

00:32:05.020 At first, they thought it was weird and they thought, oh, they're dancing.

00:32:08.240 They're dancing.

00:32:09.880 I think it was ergot poisoning, if I had to guess.

00:32:12.620 That's sort of what people are saying, which is like a fungus on the rye.

00:32:16.400 And it caused them to have, like, hallucinations and stuff.

00:32:19.980 When it first started, I think we're in the middle part of St. Vitus' dance.

00:32:25.120 So they started dancing and everybody thought it was strange.

00:32:29.160 And then the town was like, maybe they needed accompaniment.

00:32:33.240 So they started playing music while they were dancing.

00:32:36.420 I think that's where we're at right now.

00:32:38.300 But at the end, the people afflicted with St. Vitus' dance started dropping dead because people, 0.91

00:32:43.460 they just ran out of gas, really.

00:32:46.500 And I think that's what's going to happen to Toronto.

00:32:48.960 Like, save Olivia Chow.

00:32:52.360 Don't let her dance.

00:32:54.140 Don't let her dance.

00:32:55.060 Let her dance. 0.97

00:32:55.540 Come get your Grammy. 1.00

00:32:56.380 Yes, someone come collect your grandma. 1.00

00:33:00.140 Yep.

00:33:00.900 Okay, I don't know what this next one is.

00:33:02.500 I forget.

00:33:03.720 Oh, another recidivist on the cringe.

00:33:07.020 Watch this.

00:33:08.140 Pay paradise to put up a parking lot.

00:33:11.420 Big yellow taxi took away my old man.

00:33:14.340 Oh, and it always seemed to go

00:33:16.040 that you don't know what you've got till it's gone.

00:33:19.460 They paved paradise to put up a parking lot.

00:33:22.580 You know, when you, you know, when you spend way too,

00:33:27.760 when you spend like way too much time at a wine bar and then get in the Uber and then

00:33:34.200 the Uber has their playlist on and then you absorb the Uber's playlist and then you get

00:33:38.080 out of the Uber at another event.

00:33:39.500 That is what just happened to Elizabeth May there. 1.00

00:33:42.220 Okay, quote, quote me on that.

00:33:44.440 No, this is, okay.

00:33:46.860 I, I want to make fun of Elizabeth May because like, that's a national TV camera. 1.00

00:33:52.920 You did that in front of, and that's the problem with what happened here,

00:33:57.100 because I should tell you that I have pulled this exact stunt.

00:34:00.900 You and I together on David Menzies, when you and I made him play Thistle hair,

00:34:05.700 the Christmas bear, and then we sang a stirring rendition of it

00:34:08.780 because he had never heard that beautiful Alabama Christmas song.

00:34:13.540 And it is the cutest little thing.

00:34:14.920 And did you know the bears living in the woods are Christian?

00:34:17.660 Yes, they are.

00:34:18.560 That's the whole point of the story.

00:34:20.220 They're spreading the good news.

00:34:21.960 It's everywhere, the Christmas bear.

00:34:24.160 We did do this to David Menzies and Drea Humphrey.

00:34:27.920 Drea Humphrey.

00:34:28.560 And Drea Humphrey was like, she didn't appreciate it. 0.99

00:34:30.980 Drea Humphrey did not enjoy our, um, our delightful rendition of Thistle hair,

00:34:39.440 the Christmas bear, so much so that she cringed down in her seat and fell asleep.

00:34:44.500 Yeah, well, Thistle hair, the Christmas bear, spreading the good news everywhere.

00:34:48.780 Everywhere, Drea.

00:34:49.480 For Christmas time and what it means to all the children of the world.

00:34:54.080 Every little boy and girl out there loves Thistle hair, except Drea.

00:34:57.840 That's right.

00:34:59.260 She was, it was the end of a long day.

00:35:01.160 We're going to try it again.

00:35:02.140 We're going to, we're going to float it by Drea again.

00:35:03.960 You know what?

00:35:04.300 I wasn't, my pipes weren't warmed up.

00:35:06.020 Maybe it was me.

00:35:08.380 Because I know I have stage presence, but not a lot of skill.

00:35:11.760 And I brought the stage presence.

00:35:13.560 The skill isn't there.

00:35:14.520 Maybe that's my 2026 resolution is have the two meet.

00:35:18.560 That's right.

00:35:19.080 You know?

00:35:19.440 That's right.

00:35:20.000 Hey, everybody.

00:35:22.660 It's Lee Smurl from Rebel News.

00:35:24.180 And before I go, just let me wish you a very Merry Christmas.

00:35:26.800 And thanks so much for making 2025 the best year of my life.

00:35:30.540 And wishing you all health, wealth, and happiness in 2026.

00:35:33.580 And we will see you next year.

00:35:35.600 All right.

00:35:39.560 Lee said to go because I had technical difficulties.

00:35:42.760 We started late and she is on a promotional tour of her new book.

00:35:46.760 So she had to jump off the air with me and go to the Sean Newman podcast.

00:35:52.480 So if you want to hear what she had to say, you can go over there and watch her while she

00:35:57.120 talks about the reason for Buck the Rainbow Unicorn.

00:35:59.900 And I didn't want to keep her.

00:36:01.420 And I can talk to her anytime.

00:36:02.740 And you guys can watch her on Tuesdays and Wednesdays on Rebel News.

00:36:06.540 So I'll finish the last two cringes with you and then say my goodbyes.

00:36:12.520 How does that work?

00:36:13.320 All right.

00:36:14.660 So next cringe. 1.00

00:36:16.760 As an ECMP, I'm just curious what your take is on the ostrich situation at Universal Ostrich

00:36:23.000 Farms.

00:36:23.480 What's your party's position on that?

00:36:25.440 Well, I wrote the Minister of Health in the last, well, so long ago now, a very different

00:36:29.480 Minister of Health.

00:36:30.180 It was January 2025 that I wrote to say, look, can't we get the Canadian Food Inspection

00:36:36.940 Agency to redo the tests?

00:36:38.640 That will remove a lot of the either anxiety divisions.

00:36:44.140 One wants to know why not redo the tests.

00:36:46.920 It's not that difficult to redo the tests.

00:36:49.480 But CFIA is refusing.

00:36:51.860 So I think CFIA could help themselves potentially by doing independent testing.

00:36:58.420 Do these birds have traces of avian flu?

00:37:00.580 And it's become such a divisive issue.

00:37:03.540 I must say most of my constituents who write me want that ostrich cull not to happen.

00:37:09.960 And they want to, and I want to know, I'm not saying whether it should or shouldn't happen,

00:37:13.800 but why not get the evidence?

00:37:15.760 Why not?

00:37:16.540 And this is our position as a party.

00:37:18.180 Why not redo the testing and verify the health of that flock of ostriches before engaging

00:37:25.780 in what many see as animal cruelty.

00:37:29.900 And I can't imagine, this is absolutely astonishing to me, that an animal welfare issue in Canada

00:37:37.860 has garnered the attention of MAGA-type billionaires in the United States, which makes me sympathize

00:37:45.080 with the ostriches less.

00:37:46.260 But that doesn't matter.

00:37:47.220 What matters is we get our facts first, and we don't have all the facts because CFIA has

00:37:53.020 refused to do the testing.

00:37:54.700 What's wrong with that lady? 1.00

00:37:56.540 So now it's the wrong kind of, the ostriches are, I guess, they have the wrong kind of politics?

00:38:06.720 She says it doesn't matter, but apparently it definitely does matter to her, doesn't it?

00:38:10.420 She says it makes her sympathize with the ostriches less.

00:38:17.220 So the ostriches have less right to live, less right to fair treatment, less right to 1.00

00:38:23.780 access to justice.

00:38:27.080 I guess the farmers have less right to access to justice and fair treatment before the law

00:38:31.480 because you don't like the people who like the birds.

00:38:37.300 And yet still, yet still, crazy old Elizabeth May actually makes more sense than, well, the

00:38:44.380 health minister who didn't have a clue about the ostriches.

00:38:47.380 Remember when Ezra asked her about the ostriches?

00:38:49.740 And then she had an old malfunction at the junction, and one of her staff had to step in.

00:38:55.060 So just imagine being more crazy than Elizabeth May.

00:39:02.060 It's where we are right now. 0.91

00:39:04.460 Okay.

00:39:04.840 Hey, I think this is the last day of Cringemiss.

00:39:08.520 Thank you for coming along this wild ride with me.

00:39:11.400 Opposition.

00:39:13.580 Loss of national identities and self-confidence.

00:39:18.300 It's a nationalistic, white supremacist, misogynist, against immigration.

00:39:26.080 You bet. 0.92

00:39:26.620 Also against the Paris Agreement, against climate action.

00:39:31.020 But I have to say that given that Canada shares those values, when we expand our trading

00:39:35.880 relationships, I think we should be seeking out countries that have shared values with

00:39:40.280 us, which obviously with Europe we do.

00:39:44.160 Respect for democracy.

00:39:46.240 Respect for human rights.

00:39:48.000 There's something pathological about Elizabeth May's need to get in front of a camera and 1.00

00:39:54.200 act a fool. 0.99

00:39:55.020 Like, it might be a birth defect, that when she sees a camera, she'll just get in front 1.00

00:40:02.740 of it and sing.

00:40:03.940 I think on election night, she did like a folk music.

00:40:07.700 It wasn't Thistle hair, but she did some sort of folk act with her husband, where she did 0.99

00:40:13.880 like an old lady bra burner song.

00:40:16.620 Now she's holding conferences on CPAC, where she's calling the Americans white supremacists.

00:40:23.200 She's a very helpful lady in the middle of a trade war. 1.00

00:40:28.620 And, you know, we saw her break into a rendition of a Joni Mitchell song.

00:40:35.640 Just a few, a few segments back.

00:40:40.820 Why won't she go away? 0.84

00:40:43.380 She's like a poltergeist, isn't she? 1.00

00:40:45.920 Like you mentioned her name and then the plates rattle and the doors slam and the windows go

00:40:50.980 up and down and the lights go on and off.

00:40:53.500 She's like that, but she does it in politics. 1.00

00:40:57.260 You know, you mentioned her name and she's out there singing and saying crazy things that

00:41:00.580 are just very unhelpful in these very trying times with our American friends.

00:41:08.340 I can't, you know, the problem is the liberals, the left, the environmentalist movement and

00:41:13.760 the media mainstream, of course, treat her like she's not a crazy person.

00:41:21.040 She is.

00:41:22.580 She is.

00:41:24.080 There's something wrong with the people of her riding to continue to keep electing her. 0.58

00:41:30.460 I don't know what's going on in that riding.

00:41:31.880 I should go check it out for myself.

00:41:34.560 Maybe I'll do that this summer.

00:41:36.460 Okay, you guys, I got to wrap it up.

00:41:38.140 I got to get into my next thing.

00:41:39.680 I'm trying to do two weeks worth of work in about 48 hours so that our editing team can

00:41:45.120 catch up with our prerecorded content.

00:41:48.540 If you've got your feedback, as always on this show or any of my shows, Sheila at rebelnews.com

00:41:55.040 put gun show set letters in the subject line.

00:41:57.400 So I know exactly why you're emailing me.

00:41:59.100 But let me say, and I said it on my other show over the holidays too, from my family to

00:42:07.760 yours, from the Rebel News family to all of you, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy

00:42:13.720 Hanukkah, if that's your thing.

00:42:16.020 Thank you so much for allowing us to do, I think, the most meaningful work that we've ever

00:42:21.520 done.

00:42:21.800 It is a great joy to me to be able to give voice to your issues, like the issues of normal

00:42:34.200 people, because I'm one of you, you know, your challenges are my challenges, your, your

00:42:41.060 concerns about, you know, jobs and taxes and affordability and civil liberties and hate

00:42:51.100 marches in our streets and the ability of your priests and pastors to say the things they

00:42:55.800 know to be true.

00:42:57.440 So those are my issues too.

00:43:00.660 And I'm, I'm grateful and thankful that you allow me this outlet.

00:43:08.000 I'm sure my family is thankful that you allow me this outlet to be able to discuss these things

00:43:16.400 in, I think, a way that sometimes is serious, but also is fun.

00:43:23.600 Because sometimes it's like we said off the top of the show, you can either laugh or cry.

00:43:32.240 And I would much rather most days laugh.

00:43:36.220 All right.

00:43:37.760 That's the show.

00:43:39.020 That's the year, guys.

00:43:40.980 See you on the other side.

00:43:42.100 Thank you for making this the most fulfilling job that I've ever had.

00:43:49.720 Paid job.

00:43:50.520 You know, I'm a mom too, but the most fulfilling paid job that I've ever had in my life.

00:43:57.680 And as always, don't let the government tell you that you've had too much to think.
