The world is seeing a resurgence of anti-Semitism unlike any since World War II, and it's being fed by elements of the media, politicians and academics. It's reminiscent of world attitudes during WW II, when false stories began to leak out about the extermination of Jews in Europe. Even today, we have losers who deny the Holocaust even happened, despite overwhelming evidence.
00:00:30.000Good day. Welcome to the Corey Morgan Show. I am Corey Morgan. This is the Western Standards weekly appearance of me where I can come out there and get my thoughts out on some issues. We can cover some news issues and talk to interesting guests. I got a good one coming on today. It's the first time she's been on my show all this time. I've been on her show a few times, never been at her with us. So we got Sheila Gunn-Reed coming on in a little while. It'll be a good conversation talking about independent media and a lot of the problems we're facing. So we'll be chatting about that.
00:01:00.140And of course, covering a lot of other news items going on. For those of us out in Western Canada right now, winter has suddenly hit. Boy, you know, it's that first blast of it just always feels terrible. We're only, what, six days away from Halloween. Hope it warms up. It looks like it's going to for the kids.
00:01:16.520I mean, I got those memories as a child of freezing out there with that elastic on the back of my head, pulling my hair with some cheap plastic mask and the boogers freezing in there. But you know what? I didn't care.
00:01:26.740Long as I could go door to door and get candy. But if it doesn't have to be miserable for the kids, all the better. So let's hope the weather lightens up a little bit for them.
00:01:34.520For the rest of you out there, come on, guys, get your heads on straight. I was hearing about it at Edmonton Calgary. Hundreds of accidents. It comes every year, guys. Every year. Don't believe David Suzuki. The earth hasn't warmed up so much that it won't snow anymore.
00:01:45.740It's going to snow. It's going to happen every year. Slow down. Put on your winter tires. Just try to think back a year and how you used to drive then.
00:01:52.420All right. Let's get on to what I'm ranting about today. And let's see. You know, I don't know where to start. Well, I know where to start. I mean, it started on. I'm getting sick of it.
00:02:03.020So let's cut through the BS. The world is seeing a resurgence of anti-Semitism, unlike any since World War II.
00:02:09.580It's being fed by elements of the media, politicians and academics. In fact, it is reminiscent of world attitudes during World War II and rumors began to leak out about the extermination of Jews in Europe,
00:02:20.440escaped prisoners and local citizens, related stories of systematic extermination of Jews, among other horrifying things happening years before the camps were liberated.
00:02:29.740But countries around the world, they refused to believe it. They were often saying the stories are exaggerations. If indeed these camps existed at all,
00:02:36.780they dismissed the rumors as sympathy plays being made by Jews who probably brought the abuse upon themselves in the first place.
00:02:43.320As the Jews tried to flee, nations closed their borders to them. Canada's Mackenzie King famously said multiple times,
00:02:49.520none is too many when he was talking about Jews coming in here. He promised Canadians he wouldn't let Jews come in and pollute our bloodlines.
00:02:55.840Yeah, that's how it was then. Ships of Jewish refugees returned back to Europe, where many of them ended up being murdered in the Holocaust.
00:03:03.240Even when it became undeniable that Jews were being exterminated, countries went out of their way to avoid helping.
00:03:08.140King relented by allowing Jewish children to find refuge here in Canada, but made it clear they'd be sent back to Europe as soon as possible.
00:03:14.720Again, we don't want to pollute those bloodlines. Again, reports of atrocities being committed against Jews in Europe were underplayed or denied.
00:03:21.520Even today, we have losers who deny the Holocaust even happened, despite overwhelming evidence, literally millions of witnesses.
00:03:28.460Some people just insist on holding some perverse hatred for Jews to the point where they'll never admit any wrongdoing was done against them.
00:03:34.940Now, despite rather overwhelming evidence that Hamas terrorists slaughtered countless unarmed Jewish citizens on October 7th,
00:03:43.360Canadian-Palestinian activists have been claiming it was Israel who murdered the people attending a music festival that day.
00:03:49.320Yeah, Gada Sasa, a group of Canadians for justice and peace in the Middle East, made that claim on Ryan Jesperson's show in Alberta last week.
00:03:56.100And Jesperson did call her out on that claim.
00:03:57.960And he's been abused by Hamas supporters online for treating Sasa poorly in the interview.
00:04:03.640She later, by the way, organized a protest outside of a Jewish childcare centre in Ontario, where children and parents alike were intimidated.
00:04:11.340If the issue's just with Israel and not Jews themselves, then what's the point of protesting outside of daycare centres?
00:04:17.700Why not go outside an embassy or a consulate?
00:04:19.980Because your problem is with Jews, not Israel.
00:04:22.780Quit feeding me that BS saying it's Israel you got the beef with.
00:04:26.660Not when you're targeting daycare centres, you losers.
00:04:29.920Likewise, pro-Hamas protesters, and they have been pro-Hamas, they've been intimidating customers and workers alike at Jewish-owned businesses and restaurants.
00:04:37.140Does that sound familiar for those of you who are familiar with history?
00:04:40.180We got pro-Palestine mobs demonstrating outside of these things.
00:04:44.300I mean, anti-Jewish mobs demonstrating outside of businesses and daycares.
00:04:47.440This is the sort of behaviour that led up to Kristallnacht in Germany in 1938.
00:04:52.000When a pogrom was carried out against Jews' businesses, it started with them.
00:05:21.920Next, the claim emerged that Israel deliberately bombed a hospital in Gaza and killed hundreds of people.
00:05:27.760The terrorists of Hamas were given the benefit of the doubt and Israel was widely condemned for committing the atrocity.
00:05:33.660Trudeau implied Israel was at fault with his initial statement.
00:05:36.560It hasn't really walked it back now that it's been proven the hospital was hit by a rocket misfire from terrorists in Gaza themselves.
00:05:42.120Why on earth does the world keep believing the claims of terrorists who just literally slaughtered peaceful kids in a music festival and have decapitated babies?
00:05:50.200Well, they condemn them before the facts come out.
00:05:52.140Why the zeal to condemn Israel, no matter how bad the source of information is?
00:05:56.340When people were gleefully dancing in the Canadian streets in the days after the attack on Israel,
00:06:00.160they weren't being pro-Palestine, they were being pro-Hamas, and they were celebrating mass murder.
00:06:05.520It can only be when the atrocity against Jews, you know, is proven and shown that it finally becomes muted, the critique.
00:06:14.740The chant from river to sea, it's common among pro-Hamas protesters rearing their ugly heads in Canada.
00:06:19.880That statement references wiping Israel from the map and slaughtering every Jew within it.
00:06:23.860It's right in the Hamas charter, guys.
00:06:25.740Yeah, we still tolerate this for some reason.
00:06:27.480Now, we wouldn't tolerate it with any other group out there, I tell you that.
00:06:31.160The Israeli government had to bring in over 100 international journalists the other day
00:06:35.180and show them footage of 40 minutes from the Hamas slaughter.
00:06:39.180The terrorists are so perverse, they recorded every minute of it and what they did.
00:06:42.880Hopefully, this did serve as an effective reality check for some of the media members
00:06:46.100who still lived under the misconception that Hamas is some enemy that can be reasoned with or shown mercy.
00:06:51.400People say Israel has the right to defend itself, yet condemn Israel every time they actually do it.
00:07:47.200I don't doubt there's going to be some BS coming from the Israeli government and some press releases, you know, and the truth is going to be lost in some cases.
00:07:54.460But in every case, any statement from the one and only democracy in the Middle East, the one and only place that allows women's and gay rights, is somehow the evil one in the eyes of the left.
00:08:05.800And their actions have to get such scrutiny.
00:08:09.560Well, we have proven terrorists who get given the benefit of the doubt time and time again.
00:08:13.820We got something terribly wrong with this.
00:08:15.180And watching the gross displays of anti-Semitism on the streets in Canada has just been stomach-wrenching.
00:08:20.700And it's got to stop from the unions and the rest of those scumbags.
00:09:05.900I am flattered that people actually do want to come out and listen to me talk, but I don't quite rate getting a luxury service or anything on an airplane quite yet.
00:09:22.160After reading Makachuk's story about his piloting adventures, you know, it doesn't lend confidence in some of those small plane pilots sometimes.
00:09:33.560So, yeah, it's been a busy day, as usual, here at Western Standard World Headquarters.
00:09:38.460As I look outside, the snow has started again, so that's good.
00:09:41.960The website currently leading off the story on the war of words, the ex-war of words, formerly Twitter, between Stilvin Gilboa and Alberta's Environment Minister, Rebecca Schultz.
00:09:53.940So, they went back and forth with each other this morning.
00:09:58.180We've got an interesting story out of the, there was a whistleblower that complained that inmates in the Edmonton Remand Centre were not being treated properly with their health care.
00:10:11.960Their medical needs were being ignored.
00:10:15.300And the investigator went in and found out, yes, in fact, there was these five health care workers in the Remand Centre that weren't doing their job, basically.
00:10:29.980Bud Light appears to have done a 180 with, you know, all the trouble they got in with Dylan Mulvaney.
00:10:38.200They've signed a big sponsorship deal with UFC now.
00:10:41.500So, about the exact opposite of Dylan Mulvaney, and that's worth $100 million to the UFC.
00:10:48.320So, that's their biggest sponsorship deal yet.
00:10:52.880Lots of other stories, as you can see up there already today.
00:10:58.140Well, in about a few minutes, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith will be giving her state of the province address to the Edmonton Chamber.
00:11:05.620And we'll have a full report on that shortly after 12.30.
00:11:09.420And the Ontario government has sent an urgent message to the Liberals, demanding that they put a stop to Alberta's plan to leave the Canada pension plan.
00:11:20.800So, we're going to have that story up shortly as well.
00:11:23.440But a very significant political development there from Ontario, Corey.
00:11:28.360Alberta's actions are suddenly gathering the attention of the rest of the country.
00:11:31.680It's funny when the purse strings get a little bit threatened how quickly Alberta becomes at least an important subject to discuss, though it doesn't sound like they're ready to talk nicely with us.
00:11:43.960No, we're on the way to being public enemy number one, I think, with this pension plan, Corey.
00:12:23.160Come on, take advantage of that volume discount.
00:12:24.840Just like subscribing to a newspaper gets you past the paywall, gets you onto the site, and allows us to keep going out there and getting that news directly to you.
00:13:12.980And now they're going the other way around.
00:13:14.700So let's go into UFC, you know, a nice tough sport, and sponsor those things and get into it.
00:13:20.760It's funny, you know, among the athletic areas where we have trans people going into other gender areas, UFC, I mean, there's some pretty darn tough women fighting in there.
00:13:31.320There haven't been any trans men, to my knowledge, going into the other end of it that way.
00:13:38.360I mean, it would look terrible in the middle of a UFC fight in a woman's fight if one of the woman's balls fell out of her outfit during the process of the thing.
00:14:07.680Maybe they've learned their lesson and they'll back off and just stick to doing what they did well for so long.
00:14:13.900If not, well, there's many, many other beers out there.
00:14:17.680Likewise, you know, we saw recently Victoria's Secret is going to go back to actually focusing in, you know, lingerie for women rather than virtue signaling and all the rest of the garbage.
00:14:27.700Same thing because their sales dropped.
00:14:29.580And that's what shows the power is in our hands, guys, as consumers.
00:14:32.180We can control these woke businesses and we do.
00:14:35.960We vote with our wallets and they have no choice but to respond.
00:15:11.500And we certainly have a lot of common cause going on.
00:15:15.700That's part of what I wanted to talk about.
00:15:16.980We've got so much threat going on with independent media, towards independent media.
00:15:20.040I'd like to remind everybody, we're friendly competitors with different outlets, but we still want to see a good free and ungoverned media out there for Canadians to be able to consume.
00:15:31.240Yeah, you know, like, yeah, of course we're competitors, but I think we are sort of working towards a common cause, giving normal people a voice to speak truth to power and holding the government to account.
00:15:45.240And there needs to be more of that in this country and more of this done by people who refuse to allow their credibility to be contaminated and their companies to be completely colonized by government money.
00:15:58.300And I think the recent spate of legislation directed at independent media by the government really shows the power of independent media and the fear the government has for the ability of independent media to do those things that the mainstream media just isn't.
00:16:18.120And that is getting eyeballs, making money and striking fear in the hearts of liberals.
00:16:25.120Yeah, well, so, I mean, it's an ongoing discussion, but not everybody necessarily understands it.
00:16:30.740There's C-11, C-18, those have been the two kind of legislative identifiable attacks against independent media lately.
00:16:37.060Rebel Media, with whom you're with and you have your show, you guys are a lot more broadcast oriented than we are with the standard.
00:16:44.740And C-11 is sort of more targeted towards the broadcasters.
00:16:48.100How is that going to impact you guys over there?
00:16:51.900You know, we don't even really know yet.
00:16:53.700So C-11, for people at home who don't know, basically it has expanded the mandate of the 1970s era CRTC, that's the broadcast regulator, which used to only deal with sort of TV and cable, like radio, like old terrestrial stuff that your grandparents still tune into.
00:17:15.820That's what it did, that's what it dealt with.
00:17:17.940And to escape government control, a lot of people went to the internet.
00:17:23.140They went to streaming services where you could actually watch something you wanted to watch without having CanCon shoveled into your face and your feed.
00:17:31.980And Rebel News, that's the reason why we went directly to YouTube, as opposed to trying to go back and have another cable channel that would be euthanized by government regulators.
00:17:46.980And because we've been successful and because other people have sort of followed in our footsteps in the path of the trail we blazed, now you have the government saying, ah, those people, they're having a little bit too much to think.
00:18:21.200I know exactly what happens after you are forced to register with the government.
00:18:25.800It's either confiscation or serious control.
00:18:29.000So, you know, when they want to know who is you, what the podcast services are, the next step is to ask those podcast services, now that you know who they are, give us your user list.
00:19:25.220Again, I bring up gun control, but they are making the gun retailers hold the registry so that the liberals get to say, oh, we didn't, we're not requiring gun registration.
00:19:35.240That's just information that the retailers have to hold.
00:19:37.680And it's going to be the same with these streaming services.
00:19:40.980We are not registering streamers in this country, but you're going to have to.
00:19:45.420And then if we need that information, you're going to have to turn it over.
00:19:49.300That's where I see this is where this is headed.
00:19:56.660You know, that's something they've never really been able, in my view anyways, to demonstrate.
00:20:00.220I mean, we understand, we've got our suspicions on what the need is, but is there any ostensible purpose being served for having CRTC start to step in on broadcasting outside of television, radio?
00:20:13.980No, but I think it is, I think we're going to see like a nexus of certain liberal laws that are going to sort of, I think, coalesce around the CRTC.
00:20:28.940So we have the Online Harms Act that's coming forward.
00:20:31.860So I think giving the CRTC more power to control what you see and what you can say online, I think that might be the enforcement arm of this coming Online Harms legislation.
00:20:45.700So let's go further then on to C18, because that one really, that really smacked us over here at the Western Standard.
00:20:53.640We're still getting out to our subscribers, but it's really dramatically, of course, made it harder for us to reach new viewers, new readers, or even our existing ones.
00:22:34.880The broken system was the mainstream media who are creating content nobody wants to pay for.
00:22:40.680And don't kid yourself, it hit us here at Rebel News too, because that's where a lot of our traffic comes from, is on Facebook and Instagram.
00:22:51.640Now, we have a different business model that allows us to reach out directly to our people.
00:22:55.520But the mainstream media, they are still clamoring for this subsidy from big tech, even though turning off the taps to Facebook and Meta have hurt their ad dollars.
00:23:12.700I guess the mainstream media thinks that Justin Trudeau will just pony up the difference if big tech refuses to pay out.
00:23:21.080Well, and he might, and that's part of maybe of why they're going at it, but it just astounds me.
00:23:27.620I know there's points of pride, there's points of politics.
00:23:30.640Nobody ever likes to admit an error or go into retreat.
00:23:35.760It's failed to be able to garner any cash to redistribute to any of these media outlets.
00:23:41.820It's reduced the reach of the outlets themselves, but they will, I mean, the only hope, and I don't think even if they repealed the bill, but that's the only way Meta would even consider allowing links on their platform ever again.
00:23:54.500And the government just is acting as if this bill is a success and they're going to carry on.
00:23:58.000Google has said that even if Bill C-18 is severely changed, they are still considering not allowing linking to Canadian or sharing of Canadian news on Google News.
00:24:11.360Because at this point, if you were a big tech company, what's the point in ever doing business in Canada?
00:24:18.620We're not that big of a market and we are a completely unfriendly business environment wherein just one day the government can say, actually, we're wringing some cash out of you for absolutely no reason whatsoever except to subsidize the failing mainstream media.
00:24:38.220And I think that might be a consequence of Justin Trudeau's attempts to reach into big tech's pocket is they're just going to say, Canadians, no thanks.
00:24:45.980Maybe we can do business with Saudi Arabia.
00:25:55.820I don't, where is the person in the mainstream media who still has a shred of business sense that will say to the government, this is flawed.
00:26:08.120Well, I got a feeling, though, that anybody who speaks out is going to have to find a new career through a substack or start putting out resumes to outlets like yours and mine because they will get fired if they dare to speak against those things.
00:26:20.460It's got to be humiliating, I think, to be some of those journalists in the legacy outlets to bite their tongues when they see what is such a terrible legislation and not speak up on it.
00:26:30.600I mean, that's the only reason I can think of.
00:26:31.980There are some principled people out there.
00:26:33.340It's got to be galling to them to see what's happening to this industry right now.
00:26:41.820If you're out there in the mainstream media and you're willing to write that column that could potentially lose your job but save your dignity, there are.
00:26:51.420And I'm the first person to say there are still some great ones left in the mainstream media, even in the behemoth of post media.
00:26:59.080These guys, I think, and Joe Warmington, these guys are grinding it out and I would not want their job because I feel like every single day they have to prickle to be able to speak their minds and speak the truth.
00:27:16.220And I'm grateful that those guys are still out there because at least my money is going somewhere good if it pays their salaries.
00:27:25.080Yeah, well, I was at a function last night and I mean, I just, you know, I think we kind of agreed probably like people have to remain on guard because we heard some others speaking up saying, oh, don't worry about it.
00:27:36.200Here, Polly will get in and he'll fix everything.
00:27:40.020But, you know, historically, governments don't, once they get a legislation that gives them control of something, even if it was the prior government that did it, they're not too quick to let go of that kind of control later.
00:27:51.120I mean, there's no sense, we shouldn't stop the pressure on this for hoping that somebody will fix it later.
00:27:57.200Yeah, and everybody is still looking for Stephen Harper's hidden agenda to undo the CBC.
00:28:04.420It was so hidden, nobody ever found it.
00:28:06.760A lot of politicians say a lot of things to get votes.
00:28:11.300I don't have a reason to distrust Pierre Polly of yet, except insofar as he's a politician and you should never really trust a politician.
00:28:19.200But we also saw, you know, Jason Kenney saying, what even is a vaccine passport?
00:28:24.340And then all of a sudden he's bringing in one.
00:28:26.200So, you know, don't put your faith in princes.
00:28:29.060You have to fight to get this stuff repealed.
00:28:31.500I think the last time we saw, again, gun registration, last time we saw a big government control grab like this repealed was the gun registry.
00:28:41.780I think that was really the last time.
00:28:47.380Well, and I mean, I still hold out hope.
00:28:49.240I just don't want to see anybody getting complacent, you know.
00:28:52.100And also keep reminding Mr. Polly of then, you're on the right track.
00:28:55.580Please commit to repealing this stuff when you get in, assuming the Liberals are going to, I mean, if and when you get in and assuming the Liberals are not going to admit defeat and get rid of this odious Bill 18.
00:29:06.840Yeah, I mean, this is something that the public needs to tell their politicians that this is a voting issue for you.
00:29:15.480The ability to consume information in the way that you want to consume it without the hand of the state just mucking it up in the middle.
00:29:32.600I know, you know, there's a lot of stubborn souls out in independent media.
00:29:36.460I use the analogy, it's like playing whack-a-mole.
00:29:38.300You guys can shut us down over here, but we're going to pop up over there, and then we're going to pop up over here, and we're going to pop up over there.
00:29:43.540So before I let you go, where can we find your show and all that good stuff on Rebel News?
00:29:48.700Oh, thanks for letting me tell the world.
00:29:52.040So my show, The Gun Show, it's a paywalled show at Rebel News.
00:29:56.820So if you would like to subscribe to our paywall, it's only $8 a month.
00:30:03.340To subscribe, just go to rebelnewsplus.com.
00:30:06.640But for those of you on a tight budget and dealing with Justin Trudeau's out-of-control inflation, if you're willing to sit through a few ads,
00:30:13.920my show goes live on Wednesday, but it's usually out for free with ads on YouTube and Rumble by the weekend.
00:30:21.720Great. Well, I really appreciate you coming on today, and I appreciate Rebel and the rest of you guys for being along with the rest of us
00:30:28.400and making sure we still have news and information getting out to people.
00:30:31.720I mean, it lends to confidence to the listeners, you know, we're not going to give up.
00:30:35.180No, we're not. And a rising tide floats all boats.
00:30:37.480You know, if we fight and we win, we bring all the other people along with us.
00:30:42.220It's an army, then, to fight Justin Trudeau.
00:30:45.460Absolutely. All right. Thanks again, Sheila.
00:30:47.080Great to have you on, and I hope we get to talk again soon.
00:38:38.420But, to think that if we just keep liberalizing and opening and allowing more and more of it is going to cause the problem to get better is just, to be blunt, stupidity.
00:38:49.100You know, and these same leftists, because we see them on city councils all the time.
00:38:52.900You know, these are the ones that usually put this sort of crap out there.
00:38:55.220And they get into provincial politics, too, and things, and bureaucrats and health systems.
00:39:00.060They're the ones, you know, in Calgary, where they banned vaping in public parks.
