The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Insane Leftist Rachel Gilmore attacks Ben Mulroney for being Conservative!

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. We need to talk about someone I find really funny, and

00:00:07.520 that is far-left activist journalist Rachel Gilmore, because she has yet again made a 0.98

00:00:15.260 complete fool of herself. She seems to think that pointing out that someone is conservative 0.95

00:00:20.740 is like a political gotcha, and right now she has been going on her own miniature crusade 0.96

00:00:27.960 against Ben Mulroney because he hosts a radio show and is conservative. This is somehow

00:00:35.740 like a big violation in her mind at the same time that she was a journalist at Global News

00:00:43.240 and attempted to be a fact checker at CTV News and worked at a media watchdog group at the

00:00:48.340 same time that she holds unhinged far-left opinions on things while pretending that she is somehow 0.81

00:00:54.880 objective. I don't want to belabor this intro too much, I just want to get into her stupid 1.00

00:01:00.500 video. So before I get into it, guys, I just want to quickly mention that if you like the 0.97

00:01:05.720 show, make sure to leave a like on the video, subscribe if you are not yet a subscriber to

00:01:10.340 the channel, and leave a comment on what you think about all this. But I will let Rachel

00:01:16.600 Gilmour attempt to explain herself here. Canada's least favorite Nepo baby is now going to be the 1.00

00:01:21.920 interim host for one of Canada's largest political weekly shows. This is the same guy who said that

00:01:28.160 saying there is a genocide in Gaza is the same as saying the earth is flat. Yeah, because they're 0.98

00:01:34.620 similarly untrue. Seriously, listen to this clip from his podcast that is still on Spotify.

00:01:40.400 Oh, it's still on Spotify? Someone take it down. A man said something true? Goodness, take it off of

00:01:46.800 Spotify. There's no genocide taking place. Absolutely not. And we don't live on a flat earth and there is

00:01:53.120 no genocide taking place. Listen, I'm not, listen, I won't, there is no proof that a genocide is taking

00:02:01.680 place. And if it is happening in any way, it is Hamas that is doing it. So if you want to, if you want to 0.95

00:02:08.160 stand up for, for, for, for a terrorist state and terrorist government, you go right ahead, but not

00:02:12.980 on my show. Thank you very much. Sorry, he's absolutely right. Regardless of what people think

00:02:19.000 about Israel, this is not a genocide. Populations don't keep increasing during a genocide. It's just

00:02:24.940 called a war. And in fact, it's an urban war with a very low casualty rate for civilians. It's like one 0.99

00:02:31.760 to one with terrorist militants who are, by the way, still trying to use basically the population

00:02:38.140 as a human shield. And somehow the casualty rate is still one to one. You think this was the

00:02:43.080 casualty rate when there was fighting going on in Europe in World War II? Not at all. Not when the

00:02:48.780 Americans were in Iraq, not when the Americans were in Vietnam. The casualty rate for civilians in

00:02:55.360 that war in Gaza is very low. And it's while you're having to fight terrorists who don't really wear

00:03:01.600 uniforms and they're willing to do a lot of horrible things in order to protect themselves,

00:03:06.680 like hiding behind children. But again, somehow this is a big issue that Rachel Gilmore has with

00:03:13.200 Ben Mulroney. That, you know, he has a coherent view on the war in Gaza, but she's so pro-Hamas, 0.90

00:03:19.860 this is not good enough for her. I'm going to try and bring myself up on screen a little bit larger

00:03:24.800 when we go back to Gilmore here. Anyways, take it away, Gilmore.

00:03:28.540 It's frankly a really embarrassing moment for Canadian media. I used to work for Global News and

00:03:34.140 I used to work out of the office where they would film this show. And I can tell you-

00:03:38.820 Oh, there it is. There it is. Rachel doesn't like the fact that Ben Mulroney is more liked by her

00:03:45.980 former employers than she is because she was so stupid, she landed Global News in a lawsuit with 1.00

00:03:53.420 James Topp, the veteran, for calling him a white supremacist with no evidence at all. 1.00

00:04:00.100 And then I actually covered this and then she blocked me for it. I also covered the fact that

00:04:05.940 she attempted to dox, she helped dox a single mother indigenous woman for, and they were trying

00:04:13.480 to get this lady to lose her job because she had merely posted in some Facebook groups because 1.00

00:04:18.240 she's conservative, that people should go to Rachel Gilmore on Twitter and disagree with her. 0.93

00:04:25.140 Basically fact check her when she smears people like James Topp. Even saying to do it respectfully,

00:04:31.980 Rachel Gilmore and her crew deemed that a violation and they doxed this woman and Rachel 0.99

00:04:38.380 Gilmore tried to share a lot of her personal information twice. And she says, well, technically

00:04:43.280 it was on her Facebook page. Well, yes, but she runs an anonymous ex account and everything she does

00:04:48.180 on Facebook is in anonymous groups. And then they filed, they traced it back to her actual real name

00:04:54.540 and everything, found out where she worked, and then tried to harass them into firing her, which 0.85

00:04:59.580 good thing they did not do.

00:05:02.080 ...that some people at Global News are horrified by this, and they are seriously worried about how

00:05:07.580 this hiring decision is going to impact the rest of them. It is...

00:05:11.360 People might start flipping watching Global News. That's the big impact, is that by hiring someone

00:05:16.960 like Ben Mulroney, they actually might have their viewership go up because Ben Mulroney, despite being a

00:05:23.400 conservative, is actually really good at putting on a pretty nonpartisan show. Yes, he has conservative

00:05:29.180 opinions, but he can have other people on the show and speak with them. You know, everyone at the end

00:05:35.240 of the day is pretty partisan. There's very few completely nonpartisan people who work in political

00:05:40.600 media. But if you're going to have someone host a show, host a show with someone who's interesting,

00:05:46.140 can carry it with their personality, and also is open to talking with others. That's why Ben Mulroney

00:05:51.440 works here. And her saying, oh my goodness, there's people horrified at Global News by this

00:05:55.880 decision. Okay, they should quit then. They should try and quit. They should try quitting. Because

00:06:00.720 obviously they do not have the integrity to be able to work with other people for what different

00:06:05.660 viewpoints other than what they already believe. Also, as a former Global News employee, inconsistent

00:06:10.880 with their handbook for their journalists. Let me give you an example of a post on this same topic

00:06:16.920 that I got. He's not a journalist. He's a commentator and show host. Like, I don't know

00:06:21.900 how she's getting this wrong. Ben Mulroney doesn't think he's like a on the ground journalist,

00:06:28.280 like, you know, with his notepad writing things down in a press conference. That's not who Ben

00:06:32.320 Mulroney is. Trouble for when I worked for Global News based on our JPMP, which are the rules that govern

00:06:38.640 journalists use of social media at Global. After journalist Shreen Abu Akhla was murdered by the IDF

00:06:44.280 in 2022 in the West Bank, I tweeted this, quote, Canada also needs to reckon with how we report on

00:06:50.300 and discuss the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It's a disservice to everyone affected when we fail to

00:06:54.900 acknowledge major atrocities and systemic discrimination against Palestinians. I finished

00:06:59.520 off by saying our job is to afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted.

00:07:03.400 Yeah, which is not actually journalism. That's not. That's social justice masquerading as journalism. 0.98

00:07:11.740 The whole idea is, well, these people over here are kind of poor and these people over here are kind

00:07:16.660 of rich. Well, let's just start blaming people on these, blaming things on the Israelis because 0.98

00:07:22.860 there is a rich person, because they are more wealthy, because it's a country that actually

00:07:28.780 functions properly and actually has, you know, Western democratic values. And a lot of the things

00:07:35.400 that get blamed on Israel are just completely false. I'm not sure what happened with this journalist.

00:07:39.760 Maybe the person got killed by the IDF or something. Usually, when stuff like this happens,

00:07:45.320 I'm skeptical about what the situation was. Was this crossfire in a riot or something like that,

00:07:50.260 or some terrorist attack happened and someone got shot while there was bullets flying everywhere?

00:07:55.520 Because that happens quite often in Israel because of all of the terror attacks.

00:08:00.880 When it comes to talking about Israel and Palestine, we sometimes seem to forget that balance.

00:08:05.480 This was when I was living in North Africa, in Tunisia, on a placement with journalists for

00:08:09.880 human rights. And despite being on a placement on the other side of the world, I got this message

00:08:14.400 from my editor-in-chief. Your recent tweet on Israel-Palestine does come across as biased,

00:08:19.480 I'm afraid.

00:08:20.420 Yes, obviously it does. And the thing is, there's nothing wrong with having a perspective.

00:08:25.840 Well, one, she was supposed to be a neutral journalist. She was not an opinion person.

00:08:29.920 But even as an opinion person, you should still care where the facts lead you. You shouldn't just

00:08:34.360 be a propagandist. You should be that if Israel had killed this journalist and shot them and there 0.99

00:08:39.960 was no justification, there's no mistake made, even if a mistake was made, they still should issue

00:08:44.120 some sort of a statement and try and do better. But obviously, even if Israel had done something

00:08:51.740 wrong, sure, they should actually try and make up for it in some way. Overall, though, when you're in the

00:08:57.780 Middle East, when you're in the conflict between Israel, the IDF, and Hamas or Fatah, this is not

00:09:04.640 like, you have to be able to report on it in such a way that makes people realize, like, you have to

00:09:10.260 be able to even write opinion articles like you're not a Hamas propagandist, just jabbing Israel whenever

00:09:15.700 you can and excusing everything the terrorists do.

00:09:18.260 As written, I'm afraid it violates our JP&P. So how can they turn around and hire someone like this,

00:09:23.620 who, to be clear, was already hosting a radio show under the same parent?

00:09:26.840 Yeah, so Ben Rolrooney here says, she's not reading his tweet, he says, well, given the fact

00:09:32.420 that Hamas is shooting a hungriness and Palestinians in the back for trying to get food that the 0.99

00:09:36.840 terrorists are hoarding, I'm pretty sure you should shut the F up. Okay, I agree with him. 0.99

00:09:42.140 And on top of that, how can you expect him to be a fair host of a political show when, beyond bias,

00:09:47.200 he's an outright partisan? I do think that as journalists, we should be more transparent about

00:09:51.000 our... Oh my goodness, he agrees with his father? Wow.

00:09:53.820 ...biases and shouldn't pretend that we can be entirely neutral so that our audiences can then

00:09:59.080 critically engage with our reporting. That doesn't mean I think we should be outright partisan.

00:10:04.160 Like when Ben Rolrooney told Mark Carney to be afraid of Pierre Polyev. That's not doing factual

00:10:09.960 reporting with transparency about your biases. That is blatant partisanship.

00:10:14.640 Okay, yeah, he hosts a radio show and he is, in fact, a conservative host and commentator.

00:10:21.680 This is blatant partisanship. And this, this is outright embarrassing for Global. I'll leave you with...

00:10:28.440 What? 0.92

00:10:32.980 Yeah, literally, what the hell? Why would she even show this on screen? It's destroying her entire point.

00:10:38.920 I'm not sure if you can see it here, but it's Ben Mulroney reacting to somebody saying that he's not a real

00:10:45.100 reporter. And he says, you're probably right, except I'm not a journalist, dude. I'm a, I'm paid for my

00:10:51.380 opinion. Yes, it's an opinion show. And he gives his, wait for it, opinion. And this is something that

00:11:00.480 Rachel Gilmore is confused by. This is outright embarrassing for Global. I'll leave you with this.

00:11:06.020 This is an ad for jeans by a hot chick with big boobs. Good luck with the new gig, Ben. We're all 0.99

00:11:12.280 good. I don't even know what her, she, she thinks she has all these gotchas and she just doesn't. But 0.95

00:11:18.160 she does this kind of crazy eye thing at the end to kind of show you that she, she made a big point 0.67

00:11:23.160 here because she can bug out her eyes. Oh, wow. That's crazy what he just said there, you know, and as if

00:11:29.980 Rachel Gilmore is not a far left propagandist and that she's like, you know, embarrassed by the 0.67

00:11:35.920 sorts of things that, that Ben Mulroney is saying. Now we have to go to her most recent video because

00:11:40.680 she is still not left well enough alone when it comes to Ben Mulroney. And now she's like digging up

00:11:47.620 his political donations and comparing all of this to what happened with Jimmy Kimmel. Now, if the Trump

00:11:55.840 administration had put any pressure to get ABC to fire Jimmy Kimmel, that's wrong. It's stupid. 1.00

00:12:02.280 And Jimmy Kimmel should have just been fired for frankly being a terrible person and having low 1.00

00:12:06.360 ratings. But based on the evidence that that's out there, it seems like ABC just made the independent

00:12:12.080 decision to fire him and no pressure really got them to buckle. Again, they shouldn't, they shouldn't

00:12:18.500 have had, they shouldn't have had, what is it, the, what is the regulator of television in the US? But you get

00:12:24.600 my point. The regulator had made some stupid comments about what he had said was being, was wrong. Pam Bond, he 1.00

00:12:30.700 had used the word hate speech a couple of times in relation to things that people are saying about Charlie

00:12:35.140 Kirk. Things can be vile, but never use the word hate speech because it invokes the whole idea that you

00:12:40.500 could be prosecuted for just simply being, having a hateful opinion without inciting anything. But now let's jump over

00:12:48.380 to Rachel Gilmour, trying, trying to draw a connection between Jimmy Kimmel and Ben Mulroney.

00:12:53.900 What just happened with Jimmy Kimmel is a blatant attack on freedom of speech. And it not only exposes

00:12:58.660 the depth of right-wing hypocrisy, but also the dangers of having an increasingly concentrated media

00:13:03.620 ecosystem, wherein fewer and fewer corporations and individuals own more and more of our media,

00:13:09.620 which is a threat to press freedom because so much more power is then concentrated in their hands.

00:13:15.240 What is she talking about? She worked at Global News. She worked at what is a very,

00:13:21.580 she worked at an outlet in Canada, which represents a very, very homogenized media space. There are far

00:13:29.020 more outlets in the United States than there are in Canada. And she's acting like Jimmy Kimmel being

00:13:34.760 fired for saying blatantly wrong things, having extremely low ratings and being an overall nasty

00:13:40.380 person is like a big attack on free speech and shows the corporate conglomeratization

00:13:46.540 of the American media space. It's not only U.S. media companies that are making unethical decisions.

00:13:52.200 One of Canada's largest media companies just did something really worrying.

00:13:55.560 Oh my, really worrying. Oh my goodness. They hired Ben Mulroney, guys. What the heck? Oh my,

00:14:01.100 guys, they hired the guy who used to do cameos on Corner Gas. How are we going to survive this?

00:14:06.280 And I just uncovered something new that makes it even worse. As you may already know, Global News,

00:14:11.140 which I used to work for, just gave Ben Mulroney, Canada's least favorite Nepo baby, 0.96

00:14:14.980 the interim hosting gig of the West Block. Oh, if she says he's the least favorite,

00:14:19.200 then I guess he is. That is one of Canada's largest political weekly shows. And it's one of the few shows

00:14:26.440 where journalists challenge politicians directly on their policies and decisions. So it really matters

00:14:31.800 who is in that chair asking those questions. So tell me why they gave that coveted position to

00:14:36.660 someone who donated almost the maximum annual amount that he could to the Conservative Party of

00:14:42.520 Canada just last September. Because he's an opinion host who's hosting an opinion show.

00:14:49.860 Like she's so confused by like basic concepts, like that a host of a political opinion show may have

00:14:58.640 some political opinions. The funny thing, she's obviously not actually confused by this,

00:15:06.420 because she works with and celebrates far more partisan people than Ben Mulroney is. Ben Mulroney's

00:15:13.280 pretty partisan. Obviously, he's donated to Conservatives. But she's friends with people like

00:15:18.360 Erica Ifill, who is this far left, like black supremacist, if you've ever read some of her 0.96

00:15:24.700 tweets, this anti-Semitic black supremacist, who still works at the Hill Times. And whatever, 0.98

00:15:31.000 she writes bad opinion articles, I guess that's her right to do so. Like the thing is that she hangs 0.67

00:15:36.760 out with people like this, Rachel Gilmore. And she never thinks, oh my goodness, Erica,

00:15:40.660 can you tone it down a notch for a second? Can you act a little bit less like black Hitler for a second? 0.98

00:15:45.460 So that, you know, like, think about the integrity of your work. She doesn't care. She only considers 0.85

00:15:51.960 it partisan if she doesn't agree with the opinion. In my last video, I raised concerns about the degree

00:15:56.920 of partisanship that we see from Ben Mulroney, given he's tweeted stuff like telling Mark Carney to be

00:16:02.140 afraid of Pierre Polyev. But not only has he been outright partisan on social media, he's directly

00:16:08.340 financially contributing to one political party. Oh my goodness, it's the worst. It's the worst.

00:16:13.920 He can't do this. This is the worst. He can't donate to things. He can't have opinions on an

00:16:20.540 opinion show. What the heck is going on in global? First, they get rid of Rachel, their star journalist,

00:16:27.420 who only got them into lawsuits because of her stellar reporting. And now they have Ben Mulroney,

00:16:36.240 a man with an opinion, hosting an opinion show. How could they do this to us?

00:16:39.840 The Conservative Party of Canada. Now you might be wondering, hey, Rachel, there could be another

00:16:44.160 Ben Mulroney who also lives in Toronto, who also contributed near the maximum amount allowable per

00:16:49.260 year to the Conservative Party. Well, this contribution, it has a postal code associated

00:16:53.500 with it. And when I searched that postal code, I found that Ben Mulroney was listed as having the

00:16:57.720 exact same one in a consulting agreement that was published with the company Midori Bio Inc.,

00:17:03.080 which- She's going down so hard that she's going down such a rabbit hole to prove something that

00:17:08.540 nobody cares about. As if like, she's like, she's found the secret evidence. Okay? Who cares?

00:17:16.860 Ben lists as a company he's worked with in his bio on globalnews.ca. So ladies and gentlemen,

00:17:22.700 this is our guy. Not only that, but when I searched his name associated with that postal code,

00:17:27.280 I also found that Ben Mulroney attended a paid fundraiser, specifically one held less than a year ago

00:17:32.560 in late November 2024, where the amount paid to attend the event is anywhere from zero to $1,725.

00:17:40.500 That, by the way, is the maximum amount an individual could contribute to a registered party

00:17:44.480 in 2024. But maybe Ben got- Is she going to tell us all about like donation law in this country? Who

00:17:50.080 cares? Like where is she actually attempting to even go with it? Why does Rachel Gilmore go where we 1.00

00:17:56.140 cannot follow? Because I have, we were following her point for a bit, and then she walked off the

00:18:02.480 road and she started talking about how donations work and how he has a postal code and was on this

00:18:08.180 contract and he donated to the Conservatives. It was near the maximum. And the maximum of $1,725,

00:18:13.500 it's like, who cares? Okay, what's your point though? Like, I don't understand where this is getting

00:18:18.320 to the point where he can't host the West Bloc, an opinion news show.

00:18:22.200 And for free because he had already contributed $1,625 in September. And the evening was called

00:18:28.300 An Afternoon with Pierre Polyev in support of the Conservative Party. And now he's going to be the

00:18:33.340 nonpartisan host of one of Canada's only and largest political weekly shows. Anyway, I reached

00:18:39.060 out to Ben and gave him the opportunity to comment. He didn't get back to me in time. Same goes for the

00:18:43.340 folks at Chorus Entertainment, which is the parent company of Global News. It would be great if upper

00:18:47.520 management at these companies could stop making decisions that impugns journalists' credibility

00:18:51.380 and threatens our independence. There are very talented journalists at Global News who are now

00:18:55.900 going to have their credibility in question because of this decision from upper management. And I'd imagine

00:19:01.580 that all these people have this ridiculous kind of perspective that, oh my goodness, there's all

00:19:07.000 these people sitting around, you know, holding their notepads, scared because Ben Mulroney is having

00:19:13.600 opinions in the other room on an opinion news show. No one, oh, someone's going to ask, someone's

00:19:21.200 going to, I'm going to be a global news journal sitting at a cafe holding my latte. And someone's

00:19:25.820 going to enter and say, don't you work at that place that hires that horrible man, Ben Mulroney.

00:19:30.780 And you're going to be like, I don't, I don't know what to say. I have no credibility now because

00:19:35.860 Ben Mulroney works for us. A man who has very center right opinions on a lot of things. He's actually

00:19:42.020 kind of a good person to be hosting a show. He's conservative, but he's kind of like center

00:19:45.940 right conservative. You know, just as if you had a liberal like Bakshi Kapelos at CTV News

00:19:50.560 hosting a show, she has more center left opinions. Guess what? She's a good host. She's good at 0.86

00:19:56.140 bringing people on and talking to them. Ben Mulroney is good at bringing people onto a show and talking

00:20:01.380 to them. Like, what is this? This whole fading, it's what you call concern trolling. What's going to

00:20:08.160 happen to, to the journalistic integrity of global news? Global news is journalistic integrity sucks 0.99

00:20:14.060 most of the time. In fact, it improved quite a bit when they fired Rachel Gilmore, because again, 0.97

00:20:19.840 she'd do stuff like in a, an objective news report, just accusing Polly of, of, of partnering with white 1.00

00:20:27.140 nationalists and whatnot. And then she got sued for it because it was wrong. Like that's, that is what

00:20:33.020 hurts the credibility of global news. Not having an opinion guy doing an opinion show. What hurts

00:20:38.940 global news is how every single, they basically are stenographers for the liberal government on so

00:20:45.380 many issues that they'll kind of bring up things that the conservatives say, but they just kind of

00:20:49.640 print whatever the liberals say as if it's just like the truth. It's just objectively, obviously true,

00:20:55.420 whatever the liberal said. But if you say, you know, say something as a conservative, oh, we're going to

00:20:59.680 bring in the experts to say why you're totally not right on an issue where it's like the experts

00:21:04.140 aren't even right about it. Like the experts don't know what they're talking about. I've had stuff

00:21:07.380 like this happen from other outlets, not global. Whereas like, I'll say something and you'll bring

00:21:12.360 in an expert to like fact check me on something that either does not matter at all. Like the fact

00:21:17.720 check they're, they're usually wrong in it. And then it doesn't matter. And then they would never do

00:21:22.540 this to somebody else. Like trying to like dig down and find like minuscule little pieces of

00:21:27.960 information or little context to add in order to like undermine me. Like I had that guy who somehow

00:21:34.400 became a senator, Christopher Wells, say that a quote I had said that was pulled out of context

00:21:40.520 was transphobic and dangerous to press progress. He didn't even know what I had actually said.

00:21:46.880 They just told him what they think I said, because they're far leftists. And then he gave a far left

00:21:52.160 opinion that was considered like a, you know, that was considered good journalism by press progress's

00:21:56.960 standards and probably Rachel Gilmore's as well. It's just so, it's so embarrassing going on multiple

00:22:03.480 videos and multiple posts. I can't even show it all. Just whining at the fact that Ben Mulroney

00:22:09.120 has the toy that you wanted, Rachel, because you wanted to keep your stupid job at Global News 1.00

00:22:15.020 despite sucking at it. And now that Ben Mulroney's there doing a good job in his role. It's like, 1.00

00:22:20.620 we need to take him down because he doesn't agree with me that there's a fictional genocide

00:22:24.880 happening in Gaza. Oh my goodness. Anyways. Well, with that being said, thank you guys for watching

00:22:31.640 this video. Like, share, subscribe, and I will see you guys here next time.
