Rebel News Podcast - SHEILA GUNN REID ｜ Your year-end letters to me!

00:00:00.000 Oh, hey, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, everybody.

00:00:02.980 It's a whole show of your letters to me.

00:00:05.800 I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed, and you're watching The Gunn Show.

00:00:25.300 I think this might be my favorite show of the year.

00:00:28.540 And not just because it is probably the last show of the year.

00:00:34.480 I love taking viewer feedback, for better or for worse.

00:00:41.000 You know, for example, last week I got a viewer email that I didn't address on air,

00:00:46.440 but somebody sent their feedback to me, and I responded.

00:00:50.640 The feedback was, in my interview with Tom Harris from the International Climate Science

00:00:56.440 Coalition Canada last week, the viewer said I wasn't constantly looking at Tom.

00:01:03.080 And there's a reason for that.

00:01:04.580 You may notice that sometimes I look away from the camera, which is right in front of me.

00:01:10.940 And I'll look, like, down here or over here.

00:01:14.580 And the reason for that is that I work in my home studio.

00:01:18.180 I don't have anybody who helps me with the show, except for editing after the fact.

00:01:23.000 I chase my own guests.

00:01:24.440 I do my own recording.

00:01:25.720 I check my own audio levels.

00:01:27.620 I make sure that we're properly connected.

00:01:30.540 And so I act as my own producer.

00:01:32.780 And so sometimes if I'm looking away from my guest, I am indeed always paying attention

00:01:38.000 to them because I have a little earpiece that sits in my ear so that I can hear every little

00:01:42.800 word they're saying.

00:01:43.680 But I am not always looking at them because I'm looking to make sure that my recording

00:01:48.800 isn't just going to hell in a handbasket.

00:01:51.760 Sometimes when the internet connection is a little weak, I will be sort of cautiously looking

00:01:59.380 at other things to make sure that things have not completely fallen apart.

00:02:03.020 So if you are watching and I am with a guest, I am making sure that what my guest is saying

00:02:09.940 is able to be heard by you.

00:02:12.540 And so that's why sometimes I'm looking away.

00:02:14.320 But that I would not have been able to answer that question if I didn't take viewer feedback

00:02:20.640 and welcome viewer feedback, which is why at the end of every show, I give out my email

00:02:24.820 address, Sheila at rebelnews.com.

00:02:27.520 Let me know what you thought about the show because without you, there's no show.

00:02:31.700 We don't rely on a sugar daddy named Justin Trudeau propping us up with other people's

00:02:37.860 money.

00:02:38.500 I mean, if I wanted to live like that, I'd work for the mainstream media, but I don't.

00:02:43.460 I work really for you.

00:02:45.660 You know, I try to do the news for normal people.

00:02:48.740 All that is to say, a couple of weeks ago, we put out a call for your letters to rebels.

00:02:55.120 So the team in the Toronto studio took receipt of your letters, put them in a PDF, emailed

00:03:05.660 them to me.

00:03:06.460 I printed them out, didn't look at them.

00:03:09.660 So I'm flying blind here.

00:03:12.080 I gave the PDF printout to my teenage daughters who snipped them up and then put them in a

00:03:19.940 stocking and put them on my desk.

00:03:22.420 So I'm going to just pull them out and read your letters to me.

00:03:27.600 So I don't know.

00:03:28.880 Let's get to it.

00:03:29.660 Shall we?

00:03:30.520 Again, like I said, I'm flying blind.

00:03:32.260 I'm reading these as you're reading them.

00:03:34.960 Okay.

00:03:35.140 The first letter to Sheila comes from Daryl Burt Elliott.

00:03:40.560 Three first names.

00:03:42.760 You know who else has three first names?

00:03:44.380 Serial killers.

00:03:45.020 Now I'm not saying that you're a serial killer.

00:03:47.140 I just noticed that anyways, Daryl Burt Elliott says, I've watched rebel news for some time

00:03:55.540 now, and you don't seem to enter the fray on what Trudeau and his henchmen are doing to

00:04:01.120 oil and gas in Western Canada, more specific to Alberta and Saskatchewan.

00:04:05.500 Why is that?

00:04:08.520 Bert or Daryl Burt Elliott.

00:04:10.580 Sorry.

00:04:11.340 Are you a regular viewer of the show?

00:04:13.740 I'm not sure that you are.

00:04:15.760 One of my beats at rebel news is the destruction of the oil and gas sector, particularly in the

00:04:24.180 West at the hands of Justin Trudeau, but also globalist progressives all around the world.

00:04:29.100 And for a time, for dark years at the hands of our own premier, Rachel Notley, I talk about

00:04:37.040 the impact on the carbon tax on industry, on agriculture.

00:04:42.320 I documented the NDPs and the liberals attacks on Alberta in two separate books, one called

00:04:53.140 The Destroyers and the next one called Stop Notley.

00:04:55.640 My husband works in oil and gas.

00:05:00.360 Actually, all the men in my family work in oil and gas, including my 20-something son.

00:05:07.880 So not only do I report and care deeply about this issue, but it is personal to me.

00:05:13.200 I'm a child of the oil patch.

00:05:15.580 And so I don't take this criticism to heart, because if you watch me regularly, you know

00:05:27.480 that that is one of the most important topics to me is oil and gas in Western Canada, because

00:05:36.820 it is a way out for so many people out of generational poverty.

00:05:41.120 This is an industry where you can make $100,000 a year plus living without having to go to

00:05:49.360 university, without having to be a Laurentian elite, which is one of the reasons why the

00:05:53.500 liberals hate it so much, is because we can all of a sudden, us rubes and hicks with high

00:06:02.100 school level education with some hard work and good choices, we can all of a sudden be in

00:06:09.060 their fancy socioeconomic class.

00:06:12.560 They don't like it.

00:06:13.300 They look down their noses at the oil patch out of classism in part.

00:06:19.300 So anyway, I advise you to watch a little bit more of my work here at Rebel News.

00:06:30.120 I have, you know, people from Friends of Science on, Tom Harris from International Climate Science

00:06:36.460 Coalition, Chris Sims from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

00:06:41.040 I talk about the war on oil and gas all the time, because it is not actually about war, about

00:06:47.540 the war on oil and gas.

00:06:48.800 It's actually not about oil and gas at all.

00:06:50.760 It's about the war on the West, on Alberta.

00:06:54.100 They take away our economic engine.

00:06:56.960 They take away our power and confederation, and they try to shove us back in our place.

00:07:01.260 And so anyway, thanks for the letter.

00:07:04.560 I hope you find some of the other work that I do here at Rebel News.

00:07:07.340 I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

00:07:10.100 Okay, next letter.

00:07:11.200 It's from Esther Sewert.

00:07:13.980 Sewert? 0.99

00:07:15.140 I hope I'm saying that right, Esther.

00:07:16.640 I'm sorry.

00:07:17.540 Why is it the Greenies never breathe a word about all the sewage that is being dumped

00:07:22.580 in the oceans all around the world?

00:07:24.760 Ocean warming.

00:07:26.580 You know, that's one of the reasons they don't want me to have plastic straws, right?

00:07:31.400 Because they're worried my plastic straw out here in the backwoods of northeastern Alberta

00:07:36.040 is going to somehow end up the nose of a sea turtle.

00:07:39.220 But Esther, they never talk about the sewage being dumped off the coast of British Columbia,

00:07:47.200 the raw, untreated sewage that gives people from time to time a serious outbreak of norovirus

00:07:52.660 from eating the shellfish that is farmed in the same area as these outflows of effluent,

00:07:59.520 they call it.

00:08:00.280 They also don't talk about how in Quebec, they constantly have sewage outflows into ecologically

00:08:10.960 vulnerable areas where, you know, it causes massive fish kills and where baby belugas just

00:08:20.280 go swimming next to, I don't know, toilet paper and tampon applicators.

00:08:27.260 I mean, it's really horrific that these are also simultaneously the people blocking state

00:08:31.920 of the art heavily monitored pipelines like British Columbia Greenies and Quebec lefties.

00:08:40.120 They're the ones blocking the state of the art pipeline while they are still dealing with

00:08:46.480 medieval levels of sewage infrastructure.

00:08:51.060 Just a bunch of hypocrites.

00:08:52.420 But further to my point from before, it's not really about environmentalism, is it?

00:08:56.540 If it were, they would behave as though there were some sort of environmental existential crisis.

00:09:01.560 They don't.

00:09:02.700 It's about smacking down the West and making sure we don't gain our rightful place of power

00:09:07.980 within Confederation and within the world.

00:09:11.080 Next question.

00:09:12.200 That was a very, I'm happy to go back to some of my earlier reporting on the sewage dumps

00:09:18.440 in Quebec.

00:09:20.780 Literally, they would dump billions of liters of sewage at the same time, blocking energy

00:09:30.460 east and the fish would just wash up on the shore dead.

00:09:34.120 And if a pipeline killed that many fish, the level of green outrage would cause global warming. 0.88

00:09:44.740 I think just their fiery rage would warm the degrees of the earth a little bit.

00:09:49.700 Okay, next one.

00:09:52.820 We've got one from Diane Vroom.

00:09:55.780 Through the year, Rebel gives many accounts of what they've done, hope to do, and issues

00:10:01.040 they are being challenged with and dealing with.

00:10:02.780 Is it possible at the end of the year to give a detailed report as to the many petitions that

00:10:09.340 we have signed and what the outcome has been on each one?

00:10:13.900 If any, you know, that's a really good project, which I believe will probably fall directly on

00:10:22.040 my shoulders, but, you know, we have had some good outcomes with some of our petitions.

00:10:29.300 For example, one of my earliest petitions here at Rebel News was getting Canadian beef

00:10:35.240 back on the menu at Earl's restaurants.

00:10:39.000 They did this like crazy thing where they wanted beef that was ethically sourced.

00:10:47.300 Nothing is more ethical than Canadian farmers.

00:10:49.320 Like, it's crazy to say otherwise.

00:10:52.660 Anyway, you guys signed the petition.

00:10:57.680 I went all the way to Vancouver to the Earl's head office, delivered the petition, made a

00:11:04.100 big stink about it, as we do on certain topics here at Rebel News, and they actually brought

00:11:11.480 Canadian beef back on their menu.

00:11:12.880 And it was one of my proudest achievements at Rebel News because I felt uniquely poised

00:11:26.620 to fight this battle as a journalist, as an activist, and as a Canadian farmer who knows

00:11:34.980 a little something about beef.

00:11:36.780 And I'm a beef evangelist.

00:11:39.740 I got to tell you, I am, for people who know, I mostly eat carnivore.

00:11:45.460 I eat so much beef.

00:11:47.020 It's wonderful.

00:11:49.840 I think cows are a magical creature that, outside of being created in the image of the divine,

00:11:57.100 cows, I think, might be what make us human beings because of their ability to take the things we can't eat

00:12:08.200 and turn them into the things that we can.

00:12:11.140 And by getting so much of our sustenance from cattle, it actually helped to grow our brains

00:12:17.780 and shrink our digestive tract because your body can only, like, you have a finite amount of energy

00:12:25.400 in your body.

00:12:26.740 Now, you can focus it on digestion or you can focus it on brain growth.

00:12:30.300 So that when we started eating cows, ruminants largely, but cows, milk and dairy, and we started

00:12:39.100 herding cows, we, our brains grew, our bodies shrunk.

00:12:44.360 And so that's why we don't look like gorillas, right?

00:12:48.120 So anyways, all that is to say, I delivered that petition and the lady who worked at Earl's

00:12:57.360 accused me of working for Cargill.

00:12:59.680 Like, she thought I worked for the meatpacking industry because she couldn't understand how

00:13:05.160 this journalist knew so much about abattoirs and the meat processing industry.

00:13:12.200 I'm a farmer.

00:13:12.960 And it's one of those times it served me well, not being a classically trained journalist.

00:13:18.760 But getting back to your point, Diane, I think that's great.

00:13:24.100 But even if there is no outcome on any of our petitions, I should give you at least a tabulation

00:13:34.060 of how many of them were delivered.

00:13:36.240 And sometimes the success is simply in the delivery.

00:13:40.900 Going somewhere, as I recently did in Saskatchewan with our no class or stop classroom grooming

00:13:47.160 petition, I dropped off thousands of names of Canadians who are calling on the Saskatchewan

00:13:55.780 government to carry on, to not listen to the activists and to root out gender theory and 1.00

00:14:00.700 gender confusion from the classroom.

00:14:02.880 And so sometimes the petitions act as a moral support for the good guys who are under fire

00:14:09.100 from, you know, the mainstream media and the activist left.

00:14:12.400 But I might be repeating myself there by distinguishing between those two groups.

00:14:16.020 I think they're largely the same.

00:14:17.300 Um, so sometimes it's moral support for the good guys.

00:14:21.760 And sometimes it's a reminder to the bad guys that they need to behave themselves.

00:14:25.820 Alan Nillie Kaplan Mirth.

00:14:27.820 I went and delivered a petition.

00:14:30.840 Uh, to her.

00:14:33.780 And I don't know if any of you saw that, but she got right off the rev limiter, as they say

00:14:38.240 on the prairies from me, because it was the first time that she was calmly confronted by,

00:14:43.740 uh, opposition to her out of control behavior.

00:14:48.160 And, uh, it called on her to resign or be fired for censoring parents in person.

00:14:54.800 And she tried to do it to me.

00:14:57.080 She slammed a door in my face, but I was intent to give a voice to all the people that she 1.00

00:15:01.740 had silenced after she cut the mic to parents who were speaking at a school board meeting.

00:15:07.660 She can't cut my mic.

00:15:09.640 And so, you know, sometimes petitions change things as is the case with Earls.

00:15:14.940 Sometimes they offer moral support to the good guys to keep fighting.

00:15:18.300 And sometimes they just allow Canadians to have a voice that was taken from them.

00:15:28.620 And so, um, I think those are all three very important things.

00:15:33.660 Equally important, I think.

00:15:35.600 Anyways, that's a great idea, Diane.

00:15:38.120 And I, I really should at least say like, this is us delivering this petition.

00:15:41.920 This is us delivering another one.

00:15:43.360 This is us delivering another one.

00:15:44.780 I was very gratifying to deliver those petitions.

00:15:46.800 I take it very seriously because you've trusted me with your names.

00:15:50.820 Like you've put your name to a cause and then you've given that name to me.

00:15:55.100 I've got to do something with it.

00:15:56.520 It's very important.

00:15:58.160 Orville Grimouloski.

00:16:01.640 Hope I said that right.

00:16:04.020 Asks me, how come the Calgary mayor really refused to attend Hanukkah?

00:16:08.900 The menorah lighting.

00:16:10.240 Yes.

00:16:10.700 Jody Gondick.

00:16:11.940 I think her non-attendance is what made it political.

00:16:14.400 Yeah, it wasn't political.

00:16:15.420 It's never been political in 35 years, despite many, many wars.

00:16:19.440 Um, but Jody Gondick refusing to attend the Hanukkah celebrations because of a pro-Israel

00:16:27.180 bent at the Hanukkah celebrations.

00:16:28.900 Well, of course it would be a pro-Israel bent.

00:16:31.020 It's the first Hanukkah after the October 7th terror attacks that left 1,200 dead and 240

00:16:37.700 kidnapped.

00:16:38.260 It's kind of a big thing.

00:16:39.140 Um, she should have been in attendance. 0.70

00:16:42.440 She wasn't.

00:16:43.140 Why?

00:16:44.120 Because the pro-Hamas contingent, the anti-Israel contingent in Calgary is much larger than the

00:16:54.440 feisty pro-Israel contingent.

00:16:57.140 Or rather the pro-uh, well, no, I think it's a, the, the Jewish community is in Calgary is

00:17:06.660 a lot smaller than these, I don't know, the Hitler youth marches that seem to be going

00:17:11.580 on on the streets of Calgary.

00:17:12.700 Um, and so for her, it's just a purely cynical numbers game.

00:17:17.740 She could not do the right thing and support the Jewish community in Calgary during Hanukkah. 0.99

00:17:28.060 Um, for her, she's just looking at sheer vote numbers.

00:17:32.380 I think that, I think that's the real reason.

00:17:34.220 I think she's just a shameless opportunist and she saw opportunity there. 1.00

00:17:38.200 Next one, this one is from Elizabeth Noble.

00:17:45.080 Last year, we heard the very sad story about Sheila Annette Lewis.

00:17:52.180 Sheila Annette Lewis is, um, a woman whose story was covered very closely by our Sydney

00:17:58.220 Fizzard.

00:17:59.480 She was, um, a transplant patient here in Alberta who is denied a transplant because of her vaccination

00:18:07.900 status and she ultimately died. 0.88

00:18:11.400 Has the rules of getting an organ transplant changed or are there still others being denied

00:18:16.520 organ transplants because of the vaccination status?

00:18:18.820 Thank you for your great news.

00:18:20.120 I think the death of Sheila Annette Lewis shook this government.

00:18:25.020 I really do here in Alberta.

00:18:26.360 Now, Daniel Smith has been very anti-discrimination based on vaccination status, but she was remiss to

00:18:31.920 weigh in on what, you know, what the doctors were saying was the decision between medical professionals

00:18:41.760 about whether or not Annette Lewis gets to live.

00:18:45.640 Um, now I think her passing and the doctor's not budging on giving her an organ or allocating

00:18:56.600 an organ to her because of her vaccination status prompted something that, uh, our premier

00:19:06.420 Daniel Smith said, as I'm recording this, I'm recording this on the ninth teens, just so

00:19:10.780 you guys know.

00:19:11.740 But yesterday she said on the Sean Newman podcast, Daniel Smith did that she would be including

00:19:19.160 vaccination status in the Alberta bill of rights as a protected class.

00:19:24.260 It's something you could not discriminate against people because of, and I think it might have 1.00

00:19:30.080 something to do with the passing of Sheila Annette Lewis because she did face discrimination

00:19:35.600 because of her vaccination status and, um, it's completely unwarranted.

00:19:41.000 This woman is dead and, uh, it's just a absolute tragedy that nobody can undo, but hopefully it 1.00

00:19:48.040 never happens to anybody else.

00:19:49.460 That's all we can do now.

00:19:50.500 Great question though.

00:19:54.540 Thank you.

00:19:55.640 Uh, this one is from Maria who doesn't give me her last name.

00:19:59.800 How is rebel news going to deal with the world economic forum and its new world order in

00:20:04.680 2024?

00:20:05.480 I appreciate your consideration on this matter.

00:20:07.560 Best wishes.

00:20:08.380 Well, you know what?

00:20:10.260 The world economic forum likes to operate largely in anonymity or at least in praise.

00:20:17.120 So they don't like to accredit prickly skeptics of what they do.

00:20:24.080 They're like the United nations, right?

00:20:26.620 Don't, don't, uh, accredit skeptics to, uh, come to their events.

00:20:33.460 And then they pat themselves on their back for the glowing coverage of journalists.

00:20:37.100 They hand selected and they say like, Whoa, look, everybody likes us.

00:20:40.960 Yeah.

00:20:41.240 Because you only let the people in who like you.

00:20:44.700 And as you saw from our previous coverage of the world economic forum in Davos, the mainstream

00:20:51.080 media outlets have their own pavilions.

00:20:53.960 So not only are they reporting, they are exhibitors.

00:20:57.920 They are active contributors in the world economic forum.

00:21:02.080 So, you know, how can you be, but how can you report on something that you have a vested

00:21:10.820 interest in, in that way?

00:21:13.200 How can you trust that reporting, especially when they don't divulge that bias?

00:21:18.480 Like I will tell you, if I'm reporting on things about farming or oil and gas, I'm a farmer.

00:21:25.140 Uh, my husband, my son works in oil and gas.

00:21:30.120 Um, you know, like when I talk about the problems in the education system, I'm a mom with two kids

00:21:37.900 still in high school.

00:21:39.840 When I talk about women's sports, I always tell you like, look, I have a high level female athlete 1.00

00:21:45.920 daughter.

00:21:46.700 So you at least know where I'm coming from.

00:21:48.640 These journalists don't divulge that.

00:21:52.060 Um, I don't know if it's a, it's a conflict of interest.

00:21:56.160 It really is, but at least we could call it a bias and they don't divulge it.

00:22:00.240 So what are we going to do with, to deal with the world economic forum?

00:22:05.580 We're going to expose them at every step of the way, and we will not capitulate to their

00:22:10.360 demands on us.

00:22:11.920 We will fight, we'll fight and we will shine, uh, the disinfectant of sunlight.

00:22:22.060 On all the dark recesses of the corners of the world economic forum.

00:22:26.780 That's all we can do.

00:22:32.060 All right.

00:22:32.680 Another one.

00:22:33.600 Kim Morton says, oh, this is a story suggestion.

00:22:37.780 I would like to see an investigation into federal laws that only impact West and rural areas.

00:22:42.440 Decades ago, there was, or is a federal tax on marine fuel that only applied to the West

00:22:47.060 coast.

00:22:48.780 Uh, you know, this reminds me of, yeah, I can look into this for you.

00:22:53.100 Thank you for the story suggestion, but this reminds me of the wheat board.

00:22:57.220 Uh, for those of you in the rest of the country who don't know, or maybe you're a lot younger

00:23:00.920 than me, you're, you have to be a woman of a certain vintage to remember this, but, um,

00:23:06.260 there was for a time export laws in this country that only applied to grain producers in the

00:23:12.800 West.

00:23:14.060 So if you were in Ontario and Quebec and you were a grain producer there, there's not a

00:23:18.180 lot of them.

00:23:19.180 Um, you could sell your grain to whomever you wanted, but, uh, Western farmers, Alberta,

00:23:27.660 Saskatchewan, Manitoba, we had to sell ours to a specific export agency run by the government.

00:23:33.420 And then the government would then market our grain now, whether or not you were getting

00:23:38.100 a higher value in doing that, sometimes you did, sometimes you didn't, but, uh, that's

00:23:44.680 not the government's job, right?

00:23:46.920 Like it's not the government's job.

00:23:48.740 And it was this disproportionate paternalism directed at Western farmers that we weren't

00:23:53.800 smart enough to sell our own wheat or that we weren't able to decide what to do with

00:24:00.780 the fruits of our own labor.

00:24:01.740 We needed big daddy government to do it for us.

00:24:04.080 And so what happened was some farmers, farmers for justice, they were called, decided to

00:24:09.800 break the law in an act of peaceful civil disobedience and succumb themselves to the punishment

00:24:17.620 to make some change.

00:24:20.080 And one of those was Jim Ness.

00:24:21.700 And another one was a former Wildrose MLA here in Alberta, Rick Strankman, uh, among others.

00:24:28.820 But these two men were pardoned by Stephen Harper for their act of civil disobedience.

00:24:33.680 They went to jail.

00:24:34.340 They were cellmates.

00:24:35.720 Um, they sold, uh, I think it was a bushel of wheat, if I recall the story correctly,

00:24:40.100 to a 4-H club in Montana.

00:24:42.600 And they went to jail for it.

00:24:45.320 They went to jail for doing that which an Ontario farmer could do any day of the week.

00:24:49.500 And I think the horrors of seeing those men taken away in handcuffs in front of their crying

00:24:59.620 wives and frightened children, it was an optic that changed everything.

00:25:06.900 It was just, you could really see the injustice of it all.

00:25:09.980 And, uh, at the time, our premier Ralph Klein, he did attend those rallies in support of the

00:25:16.000 farmers, uh, even though they, they did, they were breaking the law.

00:25:20.840 Um, uh, I, I suppose like the restaurateurs who opened in defiance of the lockdowns, they

00:25:28.260 did it for change.

00:25:29.680 And, uh, so yeah, there is a, as you say, Maria, there's a history of these disproportionate 1.00

00:25:35.860 laws.

00:25:36.100 I mean, for example, right now happening right now, uh, no carbon tax on home heating

00:25:42.580 oil, if you're in Atlantic Canada, but it's on my natural gas here in Alberta.

00:25:49.040 So that's the unequal application of a law right now, um, happens all the time.

00:25:59.700 Let's keep going.

00:26:00.880 Thank you for allowing me to take us all down that big fat walk down memory lane.

00:26:06.100 Uh, this one is from Glenn McPherson, who asks me, why is this not emphasized, emphasized

00:26:13.300 Canada's world emissions are less than 2%.

00:26:15.540 There's nothing Canada could do that could make a difference.

00:26:18.760 Of course not.

00:26:20.680 Canada's boreal forests absorb more CO2 than it emits.

00:26:23.880 None of the environmental calamities that have occurred.

00:26:26.820 Ice age, rising sea levels, global warming, climate change due to CO2, now methane.

00:26:30.980 Why do we suffer from these fools?

00:26:36.240 Uh, yeah, there's a reason why, like, geologists and geophysists are not often subscribers to

00:26:44.520 the theory of catastrophic global warming.

00:26:47.420 It's because these people know that there have been times of higher CO2 levels in our atmosphere,

00:26:56.440 which led to global greening and larger plants, like more biodiversity, larger plants, which fed

00:27:07.120 larger animals, which could sustain larger animals.

00:27:11.160 And, uh, there was a, a great deal of biodiversity on the face of the earth when our CO2, uh, levels

00:27:18.240 were higher.

00:27:18.880 And as a farmer, I've got a real tough time taking advice from people who never get their

00:27:24.640 Birkenstocks off the pavement, telling me that I don't care about the environment, which I

00:27:30.960 depend on for my livelihood, simply because I don't believe that giving money to the government

00:27:37.340 will make the weather colder and that if I eat fewer steaks, there will be fewer tornadoes.

00:27:45.840 That seems like superstition to me, quite frankly.

00:27:53.760 Uh, Keith Black writes,

00:27:56.060 Hello, Sheila.

00:27:56.520 Just read an article regarding illegal immigrants that are coming to the U.S. receiving a cell

00:28:00.620 phone, a plane ticket to anywhere they want within the country and a $5,000 gift card.

00:28:04.660 Oh, they should come to Canada.

00:28:07.200 They're not getting enough.

00:28:09.660 I would guess Canada is even more generous to these mostly young fighting age men.

00:28:14.120 Any info?

00:28:14.640 Yeah.

00:28:14.800 A few years ago, I did a story about how the average Syrian refugee family and family

00:28:26.500 can be, as I found out in other access to information reporting, a family can be like two, as you

00:28:33.280 say, fighting age men.

00:28:34.420 They just show up at a refugee or immigration intake facility somewhere in the region.

00:28:41.740 Lebanon, I think, is the one that I found.

00:28:43.880 And say, yeah, we're dudes.

00:28:45.560 We're a family.

00:28:46.100 Just take us.

00:28:47.100 Are you brothers?

00:28:47.860 Yeah, sure.

00:28:48.360 Do you have any paperwork?

00:28:50.440 I don't know.

00:28:51.080 Maybe.

00:28:51.920 And at the time, ISIS had taken control of passport printing information in northern Iraq and Syria.

00:28:59.500 So even if they had paperwork, you couldn't really trust it.

00:29:03.600 But $50,000 is what these people were getting upon coming to Canada.

00:29:11.280 So, yeah, it seems like a lot that they're getting from the United States, but it's far less than what we give refugees.

00:29:20.840 Jamie Nash writes, so where does the gun come from?

00:29:24.220 And, yes, you rock.

00:29:24.980 Well, gun is my family name.

00:29:27.080 I guess, technically speaking, it came from my dad.

00:29:30.400 And I just kept it.

00:29:31.840 I didn't hyphenate it.

00:29:32.880 I'm just proud of where I come from.

00:29:37.600 And so I just kept to my last name.

00:29:43.200 Also, if you must know, when I had my son, as many of you know, I was quite young, was married.

00:29:53.220 So I've done it the wrong way and then I did it the right way.

00:29:55.560 So let me just tell you, I recommend the right way.

00:29:59.160 It's a lot easier for you and for the child.

00:30:02.880 But I had finally trained the school that my son and I had different last names.

00:30:09.840 And then so when my daughters came along, I just, I didn't want it.

00:30:13.040 It was just very confusing to retrain everybody.

00:30:16.660 So I just, that's my family name now.

00:30:20.420 It's Gun Reid.

00:30:21.820 Thank you for asking.

00:30:23.880 Nicholas Casper.

00:30:24.940 Also, by the way, if your last name was Gun, would you change it?

00:30:28.740 It's like the coolest last name ever.

00:30:30.380 And I do, I say that with some level of bias.

00:30:32.880 But it's pretty, it's pretty cool, right?

00:30:35.040 So anyway, Nicholas Casper.

00:30:40.160 The mischief trial in Ottawa is similar to the January 6th prosecution in Washington.

00:30:45.480 Can you describe the cost of the mischief trial to Canadian taxpayers?

00:30:49.220 I would propose it's in the millions for non-violent mischief charges against Tamara Leach and Chris Barber, leaders of the Freedom Convoy,

00:31:02.940 who have not done anything even approaching what the anti-Israel marches are doing in the streets every single week.

00:31:19.340 I mean, those people have mobbed MPs' offices, calls for genocide.

00:31:27.020 I saw a fire pit at Randy Boissano's office while I was out and about last night as the anti-Israel people were protesting him.

00:31:35.260 So, and as you know, the fire pits.

00:31:39.320 Oh, the fire pits.

00:31:40.560 That was like insurrectionist, according to boring people and worry warts in the city of Ottawa.

00:31:48.440 You know, they have their own horn honking, these folks, their own convoys.

00:31:54.940 They block railway tracks, critical infrastructure.

00:31:59.940 But do you think we're going to see multi-million dollar prosecutions of those folks?

00:32:05.200 Nope.

00:32:05.760 We're lucky if we see any charges.

00:32:08.560 But yes, Tamara Leach, Chris Barber, non-violent mischief charges for which if they were convicted of all of them

00:32:15.920 and sentenced to, I think, close to the maximum or at least the sentence to the standard,

00:32:24.020 they would never see the inside of a jail cell.

00:32:26.000 I mean, Tamara spent close to 50 days in jail already. 1.00

00:32:29.360 I mean, they should have just dropped these charges.

00:32:31.020 I think the Crown probably wanted to drop them.

00:32:33.680 This new Crown prosecutor, there's a previous Crown prosecutor who is a real ideologue.

00:32:41.440 He's the one who argued to keep Tamara in jail on a breach of bail conditions that never actually happened.

00:32:49.420 Anyway, I think this new Crown is stuck with like a sack of garbage of a prosecution, can't back out of it.

00:32:58.500 But and yes, at the end of the day, it's Tamara Leach and Chris Barber.

00:33:03.400 Their lives are completely disrupted and taxpayers are on the hook for it.

00:33:07.700 So even if she is convicted, it'll be an absolute nothing burger. 0.99

00:33:12.460 They'll say, OK, time served.

00:33:13.940 Off you go.

00:33:18.480 But the moral of the story is the deterrent, right?

00:33:20.800 You better not stand up to the Liberals if you don't want to end up like her and him.

00:33:26.580 Shelley Franchuk.

00:33:27.720 Hi, Sheila.

00:33:30.660 You are my most favorite news reporter on TV ever.

00:33:34.000 Well, thank you.

00:33:34.460 I hope you voted for me in the Viewers Choice Awards.

00:33:36.280 I finished fourth.

00:33:37.940 But I did win last year.

00:33:40.160 And as you know, I oversee the journalistic team here at Rebel News.

00:33:44.800 So when they win, I win.

00:33:46.400 So I want them to do well.

00:33:48.960 So, you know, like when when the journalists are when you like our journalists and we're all like very close to finishing first within like a few hundred votes across a couple of different continents of of winning.

00:34:03.020 I like that.

00:34:04.000 It means that we are giving you viewers.

00:34:09.440 A stable of journalists that you like.

00:34:12.360 Anyways, sorry.

00:34:13.280 Won't be quiet.

00:34:13.800 I'll keep going.

00:34:14.800 I was wondering what you did before joining Rebel News and how did you get started in the business?

00:34:19.300 Merry Christmas to everyone at Rebel News.

00:34:20.680 And you really are rock stars.

00:34:21.720 Well, I was at home with my kids for close to 10 years.

00:34:30.140 And I think that's the most important thing that I did.

00:34:32.240 And it was one of the things that made me feel good about starting at Rebel News was that Ezra was like, you work from home.

00:34:43.880 You only give me what you feel comfortable giving to the company because your first job is your children.

00:34:53.540 And my husband works in the oil patch, as I said repeatedly on this show for some reason, but he's gone all the time, like gone.

00:35:01.580 He's not he doesn't work on a drilling rig.

00:35:03.700 So it's not like two weeks on, one week off.

00:35:05.420 He's gone.

00:35:07.880 And so I have a farm and kids.

00:35:11.640 My kids were a lot younger then because I've been here like eight and a half years.

00:35:16.580 And so like my youngest was quite let all.

00:35:19.860 She wasn't in school full time when Ezra first asked me to work for the company.

00:35:25.380 And so that's what I did before.

00:35:28.500 I did an interview with Andrew Lawton over at True North, which will air over the Christmas break, where you can hear like my full story of how I came to Rebel News.

00:35:36.860 But I was just a bit of a hellraising citizen activist on the Internet.

00:35:42.620 And I was digging down into Justin Trudeau's Liberals in 2015.

00:35:52.060 So Rachel Notley had just been elected in Alberta in like a cacophony of errors that the conservative movement did, committed, I should say, here in Alberta.

00:36:09.000 And so she had like these crazy, useless paper candidate radicals. 0.98

00:36:13.960 They just put their name on a ballot and they won.

00:36:17.100 And the Liberals were doing much the same.

00:36:19.820 And Stephen Harper had probably worn out his welcome a little bit.

00:36:22.840 Still a great prime minister, slow and steady.

00:36:25.660 But Canadians wanted change.

00:36:27.680 And the Liberals were running some very radical candidates.

00:36:29.780 And I had seen radicals get elected in Alberta and the mainstream media had not done their job in properly vetting these people.

00:36:36.060 They were all worried about presumed misogyny of the PC leader here in Alberta telling Albertans to look in the mirror.

00:36:45.900 Like, ah, it's misogyny or whatever.

00:36:48.120 You know, the usual.

00:36:49.820 And so I started digging down on the Liberal candidates and I got one nuked.

00:36:53.840 The candidate in Nose Hill, Alaba Zreba.

00:36:57.880 The Liberals had to get rid of her for the things that I had uncovered her saying. 0.96

00:37:02.240 And Ezra reached out to me online, I think.

00:37:06.780 And he said, what you're doing is actual journalism that the mainstream media should be doing.

00:37:11.540 Why don't you come work for me and do it?

00:37:14.280 And I said, I can't.

00:37:16.660 I think this was in August of 2015.

00:37:19.540 And I said, I can't.

00:37:20.500 Actually, my youngest is not in school full time.

00:37:22.480 It's not the deal my family signed up for.

00:37:25.080 I said it would stay home with my kids at least until they were in school and then reconsider.

00:37:31.180 And so I said no.

00:37:35.400 And continued to do, like, just taking it to the Liberals on Twitter.

00:37:39.860 And then September rolled around and Ezra talked to me again and he said, I know your excuse just started school full time.

00:37:50.160 So, sorry, you can't say no.

00:37:53.960 And that was eight and a half years ago.

00:37:55.860 So, and it's been wild, like a stay-at-home mom from Alberta.

00:38:01.460 I just think about the places that I've gone and done and all these opportunities.

00:38:07.140 Like, I've written three books.

00:38:08.640 I've traveled around the world.

00:38:10.380 I've held the most powerful people, not just in the country, but sometimes in the world, to account.

00:38:18.200 And the fact that I'm not a classically trained journalist is not held against me.

00:38:23.320 It is, I think, at Rebel News, like a check in the pro box as opposed to a con, in that I see things with dinner table common sense.

00:38:37.500 Like, I'm a mom.

00:38:38.400 I'm a farmer.

00:38:40.400 I see the world through a practical lens, unlike the J School graduates from elsewhere on the planet. 1.00

00:38:47.920 Okay, I better speed up.

00:38:49.100 I've been at this 38 minutes and someone's got to edit this video.

00:38:51.700 So, I better just quit talking.

00:38:54.280 Gail Quinney writes, we've been following you for years and would like to see you write a pickle recipe cookbook.

00:38:59.100 For those of you who don't know, besides being a meat evangelist, I am a, I would say, pickle expert.

00:39:06.820 Is there such thing as a pickle sommelier?

00:39:09.520 I might be that.

00:39:13.620 Anything dill?

00:39:14.620 Don't give me a sweet pickle.

00:39:15.780 I'll call the police.

00:39:16.420 But anything dill, yes.

00:39:19.280 I think I did 16 or 18 dozen jars of pickles this year, thanks to my friends up at the Scotford Colonies supplying me with enough cucumbers to make that happen.

00:39:31.040 I could write a pickle cookbook.

00:39:34.940 But the basis for most of my pickle recipes are my great, it's my great-grandmother's pickle recipe, which you will find, but you won't know who she is, in the Joseburg United Church Ladies Cookbook.

00:39:51.300 I think the last publication was in the 80s.

00:39:55.160 The recipes date back much earlier, but if you can find that book, you will find my great-grandmother's pickle recipe in there.

00:40:03.920 But, yes, I really should.

00:40:07.300 I could do pickle review videos.

00:40:11.720 Because people will text me.

00:40:13.340 Like, my friends will text me and ask me.

00:40:14.800 Like, they'll see a pickle on the shelf, and they're like, hey, have you tried this?

00:40:17.960 And I'll say, yep, definitely hard pass or great aroma, good bite, you know.

00:40:23.800 So, yes, I should do that.

00:40:26.640 I could.

00:40:28.440 Lucky Lewis writes, why are rural Albertans so well-grounded as opposed to our Redmonton and El Calgary people?

00:40:33.300 Well, thank God for us country hicks.

00:40:34.920 LOL, P.S.

00:40:35.880 The best day of my life was discovering Rebel News.

00:40:37.960 Keep fighting for freedom.

00:40:39.000 Merry Christmas.

00:40:39.520 You know what?

00:40:40.900 I heard on the Glenn Beck show once, and it was years ago, but he was talking about rural America.

00:40:48.620 It's considered a flyover country, right?

00:40:50.480 New York, L.A., flyover, ignore those people in the middle.

00:40:54.160 But they are really the people who make the world go round.

00:40:56.540 And I would say the same thing about rural Albertans.

00:40:59.740 We are the people who grow your food, produce your energy, and we're the useful people, right?

00:41:08.380 And like farmers and people who rely on the weather, whether they want to believe it or not,

00:41:14.360 they are actually deeply religious people, right?

00:41:16.520 You realize that you are at the whims of the creator every day.

00:41:20.480 And so that keeps you grounded.

00:41:21.760 You know where you are in the circle of life.

00:41:24.960 Like you know your place, right?

00:41:27.060 Like you know you are important because without you, people starve or freeze.

00:41:33.060 But also without the cooperation of God, you cannot do what you need to do to help other people.

00:41:42.800 I think that's it, I believe.

00:41:44.260 We also come from having an existential crisis of the weather potentially killing you or an animal killing you.

00:41:53.660 And you have to be self-reliant.

00:41:54.700 You have to be self-reliant on your neighbor, right?

00:41:56.460 Because town is so far away and the police are so far away.

00:41:59.900 So we just think about each other differently.

00:42:02.740 I think that's why the resistance to the COVID lockdowns also came from small town Alberta.

00:42:08.280 Government tell us to stay away from our neighbors.

00:42:11.220 The hell we are.

00:42:12.660 Anyways, let's keep going.

00:42:14.320 Linda Morehouse.

00:42:15.480 Hi, Sheila.

00:42:16.320 You guys went over to the UN and delivered a stack of paperwork of all the crimes JT has done.

00:42:20.920 Whatever happened to that, I heard he was going to get charged with crimes against humanity if he ever went to Europe.

00:42:25.280 I don't think that's true.

00:42:27.400 However, I did go with lawyer Sarah Miller and we delivered a human rights complaint to the United Nations in Geneva.

00:42:36.500 It was a heck of a whirlwind trip.

00:42:38.780 We were like, I think I was up for like 50 hours straight flying there.

00:42:45.060 Sarah was sick of flying there.

00:42:48.040 We got there.

00:42:48.860 We got into our hotel room.

00:42:50.120 We cleaned up, went down, delivered the thing to the United Nations.

00:42:54.000 Sarah is one of the best lawyers in the country. 0.96

00:42:56.460 I think she's an incredible human rights litigator.

00:42:59.040 Um, she's worked so hard for the, uh, pastors and protesters.

00:43:03.260 And so, um, she went with me and then I, we delivered it and then I came right back.

00:43:12.660 So I went to Geneva, saw nothing and came right back.

00:43:16.920 Actually, that's not true.

00:43:17.660 I got up very early in the morning the next day before my flight and ran around old Geneva.

00:43:22.920 Just to say that I had seen it.

00:43:24.920 Um, and, uh, but now we wait on the United Nations.

00:43:29.840 Who knows?

00:43:30.900 Sometimes it can take years, um, before they act on things.

00:43:34.080 They may not act at all.

00:43:35.600 Um, but sometimes the United Nations is critical of Justin Trudeau.

00:43:39.980 So, um, we just wait, but on the flip side, much like the petitions, what else can we do?

00:43:48.580 Are we just supposed to do nothing?

00:43:49.720 We just say like, this is our lot in life, or we try to raise awareness of what is happening

00:43:55.540 in this country.

00:43:56.400 So that's what we tried to do.

00:43:58.660 Do something rather than nothing.

00:44:00.800 And even if you're something is ineffective or if it fails, I'd rather go down swinging.

00:44:06.720 Wouldn't you?

00:44:07.100 So next one, I have two left, I think again, apologies, editing team for this enormously

00:44:13.940 long video.

00:44:15.220 And hopefully the viewers are still with me.

00:44:17.140 Uh, Leslie Baynard, my husband and I have followed rebel for many years, even before COVID.

00:44:22.120 I credit your amazing reporters with keeping us safe and well-informed over the last few

00:44:25.940 years.

00:44:26.160 Oh, that's very nice.

00:44:27.620 There is so much going on in the world currently, and it can be very overwhelming knowing what

00:44:31.820 we know.

00:44:32.280 I was wondering if you find it just too much at times.

00:44:35.960 How do you find hope and stay positive?

00:44:38.080 Thank you for all you do.

00:44:40.640 Well, you know, sometimes I get asked this, you know, I try to follow in the footsteps of

00:44:46.280 the late, great Andrew Breitbart.

00:44:48.160 I try my best to be a happy warrior.

00:44:49.880 And I, I try to, I guess, mock the ridiculous of it, of it all, you know, like the devil hates

00:45:01.540 to be mocked.

00:45:02.700 So I'm going to mock him.

00:45:04.280 And if I see what we are experiencing as a society, but as a battle between good and

00:45:09.680 evil, then, then I am mocking evil.

00:45:12.080 And for me, that is good.

00:45:15.140 Um, and you know, like, so I try to make fun of it.

00:45:18.160 I, you know, I, I, I just, it, it is, it is grueling and it can be hard.

00:45:23.960 And we see people on their very worst day, right?

00:45:27.320 When we are talking with, for example, Sheila Annette Lewis's family or restauranteurs who

00:45:33.440 are being forced to close or families who are getting, who have already lost their jobs

00:45:39.320 because of the pandemic lockdowns.

00:45:41.460 And now they're getting a ticket for gathering for Christmas.

00:45:45.920 You're meeting people on their very, very worst day.

00:45:48.880 And it can be emotionally hard because I think everybody at this company cares about people

00:45:54.240 like normal people.

00:45:56.040 That's why we do what we do.

00:45:57.280 We feel like we can make a difference for them.

00:45:59.740 Um, and so sometimes you make a difference by measuring something, you know, you measure

00:46:05.080 it, you change it by bringing awareness.

00:46:07.520 But sometimes we get to actually help.

00:46:10.560 Like when I am talking to a family, for example, during the pandemic, and I should tell you,

00:46:16.940 my mom died during the pandemic because of a canceled surgery, not because of COVID.

00:46:23.500 And, uh, that was right when we started fight the fines, which was Ezra just announcing into

00:46:29.400 the ether that we were going to take a thousand COVID tickets, which turned into a whole heck of

00:46:34.700 a lot more and that morphed into the democracy fund, a charity, um, that is now representing

00:46:41.380 truckers.

00:46:41.980 So I, I feel great about that.

00:46:43.680 But, uh, for me, it was, I was the person on the other end of the emails in the week after

00:46:52.880 my mom died, answering those people saying, I got a ticket.

00:46:58.720 I can't afford this.

00:47:00.100 I'm, this will destroy my family.

00:47:01.800 I might get a divorce.

00:47:03.060 I could lose my house, whatever.

00:47:06.120 And it was a good distraction for me because I was mad at the government.

00:47:09.440 I was mad at everybody, um, because my mom died out of, from something that was just minor.

00:47:16.600 Um, and I also couldn't see her and I couldn't have the funeral that she deserved.

00:47:23.100 My family and I were, I mean, 10 people in our mega Catholic church of 800 people.

00:47:29.220 I'm mad at my priest for allowing that to happen.

00:47:31.580 Still mad at him.

00:47:32.320 Um, mad that I had to basically cast lots with my friends and family to see who could

00:47:40.720 be there in the church where I was baptized, where my kids were baptized, where I received

00:47:48.280 all my sacraments.

00:47:49.320 I was just, I'm still mad about it, as you can obviously tell.

00:47:52.120 But, um, what helped me and what continues to help me today, sorry, that was a long way

00:47:57.880 around, um, is that I can turn something bad into something good.

00:48:07.440 I get to meet people on their worst day and they feel like ever all is lost and nobody

00:48:12.000 cares.

00:48:12.860 And I can say to them, maybe I can help.

00:48:17.000 Maybe I can connect you with people who can help you at no cost to you.

00:48:21.220 And I'm going to gather up signatures on a petition of people who care about what you're

00:48:28.800 going through and see what we can do to change.

00:48:31.980 And if nothing changes, at least these people that we are trying to help know that other

00:48:36.940 people care about them on their darkest day.

00:48:39.520 And so for me, that is very rewarding.

00:48:41.960 It is one of the reasons I keep doing this job in spite of censorship, in spite of how much

00:48:48.820 the left and modern feminism, gun grabbers don't like me. 1.00

00:48:56.200 Um, uh, uh, it's very rewarding to be able to help people.

00:49:02.180 I didn't realize I was such a empathetic people person.

00:49:06.740 I never, never thought of myself as that until you get to do a job where you do that every

00:49:12.700 single day.

00:49:13.880 Um, and, uh, yeah.

00:49:18.820 Um, and, uh, that's, uh, why I keep doing it, but also, um, I, I get to advocate for

00:49:29.340 causes that I deeply care about, like persecuted Christians. 0.98

00:49:32.340 Um, and of course, um, you know, I, I lean into my faith quite a bit.

00:49:36.960 Um, we know that we will be, um, we, we will be persecuted.

00:49:43.980 Like we know we will be, um, we were promised that.

00:49:48.500 Um, and so, uh, you know, but that doesn't make any difference to me because I'm called

00:49:55.600 to do the right thing.

00:49:56.420 Um, so, uh, that's that last one.

00:49:59.980 Jerry Purvis.

00:50:00.740 Hi, Sheila.

00:50:01.500 Just before Tucker Carlson was abruptly booted from Fox news, he teased that he was working

00:50:06.380 on a new documentary called Oh Canada, which he referred to as a great country.

00:50:11.060 That's slowly turning into a police state.

00:50:12.660 You've already done some excellent documentaries.

00:50:14.500 So is this topic something that might be of interest?

00:50:17.420 Tucker might even be able to provide some input.

00:50:20.040 May all of you have a blessed season and keep up the great work.

00:50:24.580 Um, I don't think Tucker has any input to give us.

00:50:28.660 I know that we had input to give Tucker.

00:50:31.120 Um, but I think his, um, documentary just died when he left Fox news.

00:50:37.660 Now we have done some, I think more comprehensive reporting on certain issues.

00:50:44.960 So, um, you know, he talked about Tucker's documentary would have encompassed the trucker

00:50:50.940 convoy.

00:50:51.460 Now we've done two documentaries on the trucker convoy, um, which you can see at rebel news

00:50:55.720 plus, um, we've also done a documentary called church under fire, which I'm very proud of,

00:51:01.320 um, the government persecution of pastors who stood up to the lockdowns.

00:51:07.720 So our, I think, frankly, I don't want to toot my own horn here, but I think our documentaries

00:51:12.440 are probably more comprehensive because we took more time on each of the issues that

00:51:18.320 Tucker was going to put just into one documentary.

00:51:21.620 And I should tell you, Kian Simone, our head of documentaries, and I are already starting

00:51:25.820 work on our next documentary.

00:51:28.960 Kian is given her, he's well underway on that.

00:51:31.640 Um, and so we're also going to work over the Christmas holiday.

00:51:35.740 We're going to put our heads down and work as much as we can on that next documentary,

00:51:39.580 because time is really of the essence on this one, uh, if we want to, um, change something.

00:51:46.460 And I think we're, that's ideally the outcome of, you know, we're measuring something, so

00:51:50.860 we change it.

00:51:51.840 Um, so that's what we're doing next.

00:51:53.560 And it will, it's again, on the horrors of Canada's dark slide into anti-human progressivism

00:52:01.180 without giving too much away.

00:52:03.600 But we'll let you know, um, very soon about what the documentary is going to be on, because

00:52:09.700 as always, I'm going to ask for your help.

00:52:12.220 Um, because as I said, off the top of the show, there's no rebel news without you.

00:52:17.860 And we can't do the work that we do, um, with regard to these comprehensive documentaries,

00:52:22.020 um, without your support.

00:52:23.580 And so we will do something very similar as to what we did with a church under fire, where

00:52:28.340 we will invite you to help us, and then we'll give you a little something in return.

00:52:32.440 So we'll, uh, we'll have perks available where you can support us and then we'll give

00:52:38.360 you something back.

00:52:39.080 So we'll give you ownership of the documentary as we have done in the past.

00:52:42.580 And if you, it's church under fire, um, is the previous one, it's available on rebel

00:52:46.980 news plus as well.

00:52:48.620 Well, guys, holy moly.

00:52:50.480 I almost talked for an hour straight without stopping to take a drink of coffee or anything.

00:52:56.360 Um, I would just want to, from the bottom of my heart, and I know that sounds cliche,

00:53:01.920 but I really, truly do mean it.

00:53:03.720 Thank you to everybody who watches the gun show every single week, who sends me comments,

00:53:10.040 sends me emails, sends me your viewer feedback.

00:53:14.240 I really do appreciate it so much.

00:53:16.780 I appreciate that you folks at home care so much about the work that we do here at rebel

00:53:23.240 news.

00:53:23.540 I, I know that the mainstream media is jealous of us because they don't have this army of

00:53:29.280 people cheering for them to succeed every day, the way we do here at rebel news.

00:53:33.840 So just thank you so much from the journalistic team here at rebel news.

00:53:40.420 We, thank you.

00:53:42.120 I don't know what else I can say, but thank you.

00:53:44.780 Um, what a great year we leave behind us, um, as far as the quality of our journalism here

00:53:51.460 at rebel news.

00:53:53.380 Hopefully we made a difference.

00:53:55.340 Hopefully we helped you feel not as alone or not as crazy as the mainstream media would

00:54:01.960 like you to feel.

00:54:03.960 And, uh, thank you to everybody who also works behind the scenes at rebel news to bring you

00:54:08.260 the show when you want to see it.

00:54:10.180 There's a huge team.

00:54:12.620 Um, you may only see us, but for every one of us, there's three and four people who are

00:54:19.100 working behind the scenes to make us seem smart, articulate, and to make sure that you can find

00:54:24.880 us wherever you want to see us.

00:54:26.700 So thanks to the rebel news team, uh, thanks to, uh, my boss, uh, for giving me the opportunities

00:54:33.200 that he does.

00:54:34.180 Like I said, I'm a housewife and I've been around the world speaking truth to power and

00:54:41.020 telling stories that matter to me.

00:54:43.020 Um, because I think if they matter to me, they matter to other normal people of this country.

00:54:47.620 And I appreciate the trust that he has put in us to do that and, and to allow me to, uh,

00:54:54.580 mentor our journalism team, um, so that we can make a difference to make this country a freer

00:55:00.560 place.

00:55:00.940 It's, uh, as someone once said, it's not just a job, it's a ministry.

00:55:05.180 I think that we do here at rebel news, everybody.

00:55:08.800 Thank you so much for just making rebel news.

00:55:14.800 What it is as we leave 2023 behind us, here's to hopefully a more free 2024.

00:55:21.900 And as always, don't let the government tell you that you've had too much to think.

00:55:51.900 Thank you.

00:55:52.900 Thank you.
