Rachel Gilmore is the best partner in crime Jeremy McKenzie has ever had, and she's also the worst partner he's ever had in crime. Today, she's here to remind us all that, despite all the media hysteria surrounding a group called Diagalon, it's still just a joke. And yet, she keeps harping on about it.

00:00:00.000 Apparently someone used to go over to the Prime Minister's house and give Justin Trudeau his meds because he's on Twitter talking about the harassment of journalists when he's the same guy who when he sexually assaulted a female journalist said he wouldn't have done it at the time if he knew she was a journalist and then later made a different excuse when he was Prime Minister saying that she just interpreted the situation differently.
00:00:20.420 But instead of noticing and calling out Justin Trudeau's gross hypocrisy, the ever-woke and always-whining Canadian Association of Journalists shows up to complain that Justin Trudeau isn't passing expansive hate speech legislation.
00:00:34.380 This legislation would not do anything in this case because threats and harassment against anyone is already illegal.
00:00:41.080 So what I assume that the CAJ is doing is demanding that Justin Trudeau, his liberal government and the NDP pass some form of protection for journalists against criticism or specifically legacy media journalists against criticism because it's been a narrative that's been going around that somehow complaints against the legacy media's bad work is creating like a hostile work environment or creating some sort of a toxic environment in which people are going around threatening others.
00:01:11.740 But we're not here to talk about Justin Trudeau today. We're here to talk about Global News' own Rachel Gilmore. Again. For the fourth time. Because I have nothing left in my life but talking about Rachel Gilmore. It's very sad.
00:01:27.000 Anyways, I want to talk about Rachel Gilmore's video today on Diagalon. Jeremy McKenzie's fake organization Diagalon. Not only because of the crazy media hysteria over a meme terrorist group, but also because she's effectively enabling the actual crazy stuff that Jeremy McKenzie does by kind of putting him into this Diagalon box which enables him pretending as if everything he does is just a joke.
00:01:54.860 Based solely on the fact that Diagalon is a joke based solely on the fact that Diagalon is a joke.
00:01:58.740 In essence, my argument today is that Rachel Gilmore is the best partner in crime that Jeremy McKenzie has ever had. So without further ado, here's the latest terrible Gilmore TikTok video.
00:02:08.840 And afterwards, I'm going to talk a little bit about things that Jeremy McKenzie has actually said that would be far better to highlight than just the stupid Diagalon meme.
00:02:17.600 Conservative leadership frontrunner Pierre Polyev came under fire this past weekend after an image of him shaking hands with Jeremy McKenzie, the founder of a group known as Diagalon, emerged. 0.53
00:02:29.380 Goodness. It's garbage like this that makes me question the intelligence of people who consume legacy media. 0.96
00:02:34.660 This is just tabloid journalism with politically correct hysteria injected into it. There's nothing substantial about the story. It's just, oh, Pierre Polyev shook hands with someone at an event where he shook hands with hundreds of people. 0.99
00:02:47.240 How could he? Well, he went to an Arby's that Paul Frum went to five years ago. Oh, how could he betray Canadians like this?
00:02:54.080 There's nothing to this story other than the fact that the media wants it to be a story. There's no, there's nothing but crumbs of information here.
00:03:01.920 And they're trying to turn it into a narrative where somehow Pierre Polyev is in league with Jeremy McKenzie.
00:03:08.180 Now, Polyev says he shakes hands with tens of thousands of people and he can't possibly background check them all.
00:03:13.200 But what exactly is Diagalon?
00:03:16.120 What a blatant non sequitur. Pierre Polyev says he shakes hands with hundreds of people a day and is not going to do a background check on all of them.
00:03:23.440 And for that reason, he refused to apologize for having shaken hands with Jeremy McKenzie.
00:03:28.640 And then Rachel Gilmore follows that up by saying, but what's Diagalon? It doesn't matter. It literally doesn't matter. These two thoughts are not connected together.
00:03:39.520 Basically, it's a group of live streamers that made up a joke country based on the states and provinces that at the time didn't have mask mandates.
00:03:46.020 It started as a meme. Their pretend vice president is an evil goat. 0.93
00:03:49.140 But during their hours-long live streams, Diagalon members have warned about a looming societal collapse, which they blame on the government. 0.87
00:03:55.840 Yes, it's still just a joke. I really don't know why she keeps harping on about Diagalon.
00:04:00.320 There's way more stuff to talk about with Jeremy McKenzie if you're actually trying to find bad things he says.
00:04:05.000 But she's just grasping at straws here and she's about to continue grasping at straws in the next clip where she tries to tie just minuscule details to try and prove that they might have a darker edge to them.
00:04:16.580 And they'll call for something to be done about this without saying what.
00:04:20.680 This is what worries extremism experts, especially after what appeared to be Diagalon patches were found alongside a bunch of weapons the RCMP seized in Coots, Alberta earlier this year.
00:04:29.700 Because while this group says they're just joking around, the experts say followers might take the warnings about society to heart and decide to do something about it.
00:04:38.160 Read more at globalnews.ca. 0.99
00:04:39.820 Hey, I don't like Jeremy McKenzie, but this is a stupid thing to say. 0.67
00:04:45.720 Just because people had patches on their vests when they were arrested for improperly carrying weapons or storing weapons does not actually mean that somehow Diagalon might have some sort of terrorist wing to it. 0.93
00:04:58.040 It's still a joke.
00:04:59.020 And just because people are able to order the patches online and put them on their vests doesn't mean anything more than that.
00:05:04.360 What I find particularly disgusting about the end of this video is that after only being able to point to two patches on a singular vest, Rachel Gilmore then moves on to say,
00:05:15.320 Well, you know there's experts out there who say that this obvious joke in a hypothetical future might not be an obvious joke and it might have actually turned into a violent extremist movement. 0.82
00:05:25.660 That's ridiculous. 0.53
00:05:26.600 You could say that about literally anything.
00:05:29.040 And is it just me or was this video supposed to be in part about Pierre Polyev?
00:05:33.020 She just sort of sprinkles him in at the start and then tries to smear him by attaching him to Jeremy McKenzie as if the connection is substantial in any way.
00:05:41.100 And this is why I see Rachel Gilmore as basically being an indirect promoter of Jeremy McKenzie. 0.98
00:05:45.860 There was no reason on this planet to tie a famous politician like Pierre Polyev to Jeremy McKenzie, thus making McKenzie more famous in the process. 0.95
00:05:55.040 And then the other thing that she does that's like really stupid is then her main criticism of Jeremy McKenzie to make you think that he's bad is that, well, he jokes around. 0.93
00:06:05.400 Oh, he promotes a meme. 0.98
00:06:07.380 Like that's just going to make people like him more because that makes it seem like he's just a comedian that you're taking way too seriously.
00:06:13.480 Like I'm, I'll play a clip right now where he talks about the Nuremberg trials being a kangaroo court and saying that Herman Goering was murdered because he was talking too much sense.
00:06:23.580 Like I'll play the raw clip right here.
00:06:25.080 The Nuremberg trial, that was a kangaroo court.
00:06:30.520 They just hung everybody.
00:06:32.180 The funny part, the funny part about that was they let Herman Goering speak once.
00:06:36.100 And then he was, he was like, he was saying too much, he was talking too much sense and they just shut him down, wouldn't let him talk.
00:06:44.340 And then he committed suicide, right?
00:06:46.560 With the cyanide capsule.
00:06:47.640 They murdered the guy.
00:06:48.960 They even, they even put it on a, on radio, I think in Germany and people were like, oh, and you know, they were like, no, he's got to go.
00:06:54.800 This guy's a problem.
00:06:55.580 And they just killed it. 0.97
00:06:56.240 They just killed everybody. 0.96
00:06:57.140 It was a kangaroo court. 1.00
00:06:57.920 It was ridiculous. 0.98
00:06:58.320 You've got all the Germans being judged by their enemies, right? 0.96
00:07:03.860 The prosecution was all Russian, American, British.
00:07:08.080 You know, how do you think that's going to go?
00:07:11.460 Anyway, what are you going to do?
00:07:13.260 What are you going to do?
00:07:14.260 Let's, let's wrap it up.
00:07:15.940 You see, how is Rachel Gilmore helping anything? 0.96
00:07:18.880 By highlighting stupid jokes about Diagon to go after Jeremy McKenzie when clips like that exist. 0.98
00:07:25.180 And there's more clips like that. 0.99
00:07:26.420 There's a lot of clips of Jeremy McKenzie pushing conspiracies about Jews.
00:07:31.300 It's insane.
00:07:32.200 He makes Mel Gibson look like he attends synagogue.
00:07:35.380 I am genuinely suspicious if Rachel Gilmore and other members of Legacy Media are intentionally making weak attacks against Jeremy McKenzie in order to make people on the right side of the aisle embrace him, thinking he's just a edgy jokester who the media doesn't like because they're overly sensitive.
00:07:50.760 And then in a couple of weeks time, they're going to roll out all the actual bad clips of Jeremy McKenzie saying nutty or anti-Semitic things in order to try and smear normal conservatives as racist for having, like, supported him even though they didn't know he said any of that stuff.
00:08:05.800 I completely understand why a lot of people actually allowed Jeremy McKenzie to come on their shows during this time.
00:08:12.940 Because on its surface, Jeremy McKenzie was 100% being smeared by the Legacy Media.
00:08:17.660 It just so happens that the Legacy Media left out all the actual bad things he said and done to the point where it made Jeremy McKenzie seem like a hero in this situation.
00:08:27.540 And in a certain strange way, he kind of was.
00:08:29.520 But based on the fact that I knew a lot about Jeremy McKenzie over a year before any of this went down, I was kind of seeing a bit of a bad trend occurring where people were just assuming because the Legacy Media sucks that Jeremy McKenzie must be good.
00:08:43.920 When two things can be true at once.
00:08:45.520 Both Rachel Gilmore and Jeremy McKenzie are just awful and they truly deserve each other.
00:08:50.460 They both have hacky media shows and they both love boiling everything down to identity politics and tribalism.
00:08:56.700 I think that's really gross and I think everyone who acts like this, whether they're on the left or supposedly on the right, should be absolutely ignored.
00:09:06.600 Now, before I put a cap on this video, I don't want to seem unsympathetic to Rachel Gilmore. 0.99
00:09:10.920 She has been harassed and she has been sent threats and the people who sent her that are disgusting morons and they should be condemned. 0.92
00:09:17.480 At the same time, not to now undermine my sympathy, but as someone who's also been harassed and threatened and had to call the police about it, 0.99
00:09:24.560 the best thing to do is go radio silent about any of that stuff. 0.98
00:09:28.100 It's incentivizing people to send you stuff by posting about it on social media because to a certain extent to these morons who are sending you threats,
00:09:35.820 which are probably not serious threats, they like seeing the fact that you post about it and that you make the things that they send you part of your day. 0.85
00:09:43.440 And the best way of avoiding that is going radio silent and not giving them the pleasure of seeing you react to it.
00:09:49.560 Well, anyways, that does it for today and I hope you'll like this video on YouTube or to Facebook,
