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 rumors began to leak out about the extermination of Jews in Europe.
00:07:01.500of missiles. Hamas is still firing missiles into the residential areas of Israel daily.
00:07:06.120And Israel are the ones catching the crap. Where's the demands that Hamas cease firing?
00:07:10.260Israel is going to be under threat as long as Hamas exists, and they plan to eliminate that threat.0.93
00:07:14.880If somebody else has suggestions on how to do that, I'm all ears. But for now, Hamas has a0.97
00:07:20.140mandate to eliminate every Jew in Israel, so don't try to tell me they're open to reasonable
00:07:23.200negotiations. They're holding hostages and they're lobbing bombs into residential areas. No0.99
00:07:27.140other nation would be subjected to such public abuse for defending itself after such an attack,
00:07:32.940no other nation except Israel. And let's not pretend the reason for that is because it's
00:07:37.120the only Jewish country on earth. So yeah, guys, I'm sick of it. You know, I just had to get that0.99
00:07:42.940out. I'm sick of it. The double standard, hey, it's a war. I don't doubt there's going to be
00:07:48.620some BS coming from the Israeli government and some press releases, you know, and the truth is
00:07:53.400going to be lost in some cases. But in every case, any statement from the one and only democracy
00:07:58.540in the Middle East, the one and only place that allows women's and gay rights, is somehow the
00:08:03.640evil one in the eyes of the left. And their actions have to get such scrutiny. Well, we have
00:08:09.960proven terrorists who get given the benefit of the doubt time and time again. We got something
00:08:14.340terribly wrong with us. And watching the gross displays of anti-Semitism on the streets in
00:08:18.520Canada has just been stomach-wrenching. And it's got to stop from the unions and the rest of those
00:08:22.860scumbags and that's what they are all right that's enough of that reading let's talk to
00:08:26.160somebody decent with some principle that's our dave nailer i'm sure he's got a bunch of good
00:08:29.080news to put a smile on my face this morning hey how's it going uh good cory holy cow you're wound
00:08:33.620up and rightfully so that's annoying yeah so as you say it's gross hey i saw you were uh jet
00:08:40.760setting around northern alberta this weekend and you're on private plane yeah you could call it
00:08:46.360that yeah i was doing a something of a speaking tour with the uh alberta prosperity project in
00:08:51.720a few northern stops. The plane that they provided was a tiny little four-seater. I certainly got to
00:08:57.240get an intimate view of northern Alberta squashed in the backseat of that little fella. Yeah, no0.90
00:09:01.580kidding. So it wasn't a Learjet then? Not quite. No, I haven't hit that status yet. I am flattered
00:09:06.340that people actually do want to come out and listen to me talk, but I don't quite rate getting
00:09:09.880a luxury service or anything on an airplane quite yet. No, that's too bad. Yeah, I saw a photo of
00:09:14.960the plane. It, you know, yeah, it would have been a bit nervous, nerve-wracking going up in that,
00:09:19.380that's for sure. There it is yeah after reading Makachuk's story about his piloting adventures
00:09:26.580you know it doesn't lend confidence in some of those small plane pilots sometimes. No exactly
00:09:30.580but they're they're all very well trained I'm sure. Oh yeah it's been a busy day as usual here at
00:09:36.340Western Standard World Headquarters as I look outside as snow has started again so that's good.
00:09:42.020The website currently leading off the story on the war of words the the ex-war of words formerly
00:09:47.860Twitter between Stilvin Gilbo and Alberta's Environment Minister Rebecca Schultz. So they
00:09:54.840went back and forth with each other this morning. We've got an interesting story out of the there
00:10:02.400was a whistleblower that complained that inmates in the Edmonton Remand Centre were not being
00:10:09.520treated properly with their health care. Their medical needs were being ignored and the
00:10:16.200investigator went in and found out yes in fact there was uh these uh these five health care
00:10:21.100workers uh uh in the in the remand center that uh weren't provide weren't doing their job basically
00:10:27.080so so that story is up there now uh bud light appears to have done a uh 180 with uh you know
00:10:34.560all the trouble they got in with dylan mulvaney uh they've signed a big sponsorship deal with
00:10:40.320UFC now. So about the exact opposite of Dylan Mulvaney. And that's worth $100 million to the
00:10:47.280UFC. So that's their biggest sponsorship deal yet. Lots of other stories, as you can see up there
00:10:55.480already today. Well, in about a few minutes, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith will be giving
00:11:02.480her state of the province address to the Edmonton Chamber. And we'll have a full report on that
00:11:07.380shortly after after 12 30 and the Ontario government has sent a urgent message to the
00:11:14.160Liberals demanding that they put a stop to Alberta's plan to leave the Canada pension plan
00:11:20.180so we're going to have that story up shortly as well but a very significant political development
00:11:25.660there from Ontario Corey right on yeah Alberta's actions are suddenly gathering the attention to
00:11:30.920the rest of the country it's it's funny when the purse strings get a little bit threatened how
00:11:35.500quickly Alberta becomes at least an important subject to discuss, though it doesn't sound
00:11:41.180like they're ready to talk nicely with us. No, we're on the way to being public enemy number
00:11:45.860one, I think, with this pension plan, Corey. Oh, well, I'm all right with that. Okay. Well,
00:11:50.700thanks for the update, Dave. I'll let you get back to those stories. I know a lot more is
00:11:53.920breaking out today. Thanks, Corey. Hey, thanks. So that was our news editor, Dave Naylor. And as
00:11:58.940you can hear, yeah. And as you see, when you go to the Western Standard site, we have stories
00:12:03.100coming up constantly in real time. We have reporters all over the country, columnists all
00:12:07.560over. And the reason we can do it guys is because you have subscribed and it's fantastic. Thank you
00:12:13.220very much to all of our subscribers. And this is where I like to remind everybody, get on there
00:12:18.000and subscribe if you haven't yet already. $9.99 a month, $100 for a year. Come on, take advantage
00:12:23.840of that volume discount. Just like subscribing to a newspaper gets you past the paywall, gets you
00:12:28.040onto the site and allows us to keep going out there and getting that news directly to you and
00:12:33.820good original news. There's not many outlets anymore that have actual reporters anymore. I
00:12:38.580mean, they're just reheating stuff that comes through the newswire and plastering it out there
00:12:43.260if that much so. Please subscribe, support your independent outlet guys. It's important for us
00:12:48.580and it's important for you. So yeah, some of that stuff, you know, Bud Light, you know, talk about
00:12:53.760blowing it. I mean, they were the beer of the big horses. They were the beer of football games,
00:13:00.020the beer of NASCAR. Let's be blunt about it. It was the beer of rednecks and that's fine.
00:13:04.360You got your different markets, you know, and they just dipped into the woke and blew it. It1.00
00:13:09.540cost them, it sounds like billions. They're still trying to recover and now they're going the other
00:13:14.280way around. So let's go into UFC, you know, a nice tough sport and sponsor those things and get into
00:13:20.200But it'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.
00:13:31.240There haven't been any trans men, to my knowledge, going into the other end of it that way.0.60
00:13:36.580So that much is good. I 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.1.00
00:13:44.780But we're not seeing it there. And you certainly don't see it the other way.1.00
00:13:48.380if it's all things being equal, why aren't there any woman to male trans people joining and trying
00:13:53.040to fight against men in the UFC? I haven't seen anybody pushing or entering that or any trying
00:13:57.760to enter the NFL or any of those things for that matter. Either way, I do love seeing examples of
00:14:02.440the old go woke, go broke thing in action. I wish Bud Light the best. Maybe they've learned their
00:14:08.500lesson and they'll back off and just stick to doing what they did well for so long. If not,
00:14:14.320well, there's many, many other beers out there. Likewise, you know, we saw recently Victoria's
00:14:19.600Secret is going to go back to actually focusing in, you know, lingerie for women rather than
00:14:24.500virtue signaling and all the rest of the garbage. Same thing because their sales dropped. And that's
00:14:29.860what shows the power is in our hands, guys, as consumers, we can control these woke businesses.
00:14:35.240And we do, we vote with our wallets and they have no choice but to respond. So keep voting that way,
00:14:40.480guys. And maybe, maybe the world will get edged a little closer to the normalcy that we deserve.
00:14:46.620I won't count on it being too, too much. So, all right, let's get on to the guest. I've been
00:14:50.560ranting long enough at you guys. We've got a treat. Like I said, Sheila Gunn-Reed is coming
00:14:55.620on for a little while to talk to us. And we're going to talk about independent media. Hey,
00:14:58.600Sheila, how you doing? I'm great, Corey. Thanks for having me on the show.
00:15:02.260Oh, I appreciate it. I was saying at the start, geez, it's been, you know, I've been going this
00:15:05.080long. I've never actually had you on my show and it's way overdue. So I appreciate you coming on.
00:15:10.480It is. And we certainly have a lot of common cause going on. That's part of what I wanted to
00:15:16.580talk about. We've got so much threat going on with independent media towards independent media.
00:15:20.400I'd like to remind everybody, at worst, we're friendly competitors with different outlets,
00:15:24.700but we still want to see a good free and ungoverned media out there for Canadians to
00:15:30.300be able to consume. Yeah. You know, like, yeah, of course we're competitors, but I think we are
00:15:36.200sort of working towards a common cause, giving normal people a voice to speak truth to power
00:15:42.800and holding the government to account. And there needs to be more of that in this country
00:15:47.340and more of this done by people who refuse to allow their credibility to be contaminated and
00:15:54.500their companies to be completely colonized by government money. And I think the recent
00:16:01.180spate of legislation directed at independent media by the government really shows the power
00:16:07.840of independent media and the fear the government has for the ability of independent media to do
00:16:15.220those things that the mainstream media just isn't. And that is getting eyeballs,
00:16:20.600making money, and striking fear in the hearts of liberals.
00:16:26.080Yeah, well, so, I mean, it's been an ongoing discussion, but not everybody necessarily
00:16:29.960understands that the C11, C18, those have been the two kind of legislative identifiable attacks
00:16:35.160against independent media lately. Rebel Media, with whom you're with and you have your show,
00:16:40.800you guys are a lot more broadcast oriented than we are with the standard. And C11 is sort of more
00:16:46.120targeted towards the broadcasters. How is that going to impact you guys over there?
00:16:52.080You know, we don't even really know yet. So C11, for people at home who don't know,
00:16:56.240Basically, 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.
00:17:15.780that's what it dealt with and to escape government control a lot of people went to the internet they
00:17:23.200went to streaming services where you could actually watch something you wanted to watch
00:17:27.500without having can con shoveled into your face and your feed and uh rebel news that's the reason why
00:17:36.120we went directly to youtube as opposed to trying to go back and have another cable channel that
00:17:42.800would be euthanized by government regulators. And because we've been successful and because
00:17:50.120other people have sort of followed in our footsteps in the path of the trail we blazed,
00:17:55.500now you have the government saying, ah, those people, they're having a little bit too much
00:18:00.080to think. They're a little bit too free. People can access them directly. And so we have to bring
00:18:04.680them under the thumb of the government. And so very recently, streaming services have been required
00:18:12.040to register with the CRTC and the Liberals said, well, what's the big deal? We just want to know
00:18:18.880who they are. Yeah, I'm a gun owner. I know exactly what happens after you are forced to register with
00:18:25.360the government. It's either confiscation or serious control. So, you know, when they want to know who
00:18:32.560is you, what the podcast services are, the next step is to ask those podcast services, now that
00:18:40.180know who they are give us your user list and the crtc was very clear they said we will be coming
00:18:46.820back for more information from these streaming services we just haven't told them what that
00:18:51.060information is yet well that's it i think it's what they're planning on doing by the sounds of
00:18:55.940it is turning the streaming services into their policing arms so they're just saying get ready
00:19:01.060to give all the information to us and then we're going to tell you how you regulate the people
00:19:05.220going on your platform. So it's kind of a backdoor way to regulate the content of what's going on
00:19:11.980with even the smallest of independent broadcasts. Well, they do this all the time. The liberals are
00:19:17.000really, really getting quite good at offloading their attempts to control your life onto the
00:19:23.000private sector. They're doing this right now. Again, I bring up gun control, but they are making
00:19:27.860the gun retailers hold the registry so that the liberals get to say, oh, we're not requiring gun
00:19:34.340registration. That's just information that the retailers have to hold. And it's going to be the
00:19:38.700same with these streaming services. We are not registering streamers in this country, but you're
00:19:44.580going to have to. And then if we need that information, you're going to have to turn it over.
00:19:49.260That's where I see this is where this is headed. So what's the need? You know, that's something
00:19:57.200they've never really been able, in my view anyways, to demonstrate. I mean, we understand,
00:20:01.460hand, we've got our suspicions on what the need is, but is there any ostensible purpose being
00:20:06.820served for having CRTC start to step in on, you know, broadcasting outside of television radio?
00:20:14.800No, but I think it is, I think we're going to see like a nexus of certain liberal laws that are
00:20:23.200going to sort of, I think, coalesce around the CRTC. So we have the Online Harms Act that's
00:20:31.140coming forward. So I think giving the CRTC more power to control what you see and what you can
00:20:37.540say online, I think that might be the enforcement arm of this coming online harms legislation.
00:20:45.680So let's go further then on to C18, because that one really, that really smacked us over here at
00:20:52.760the Western Standard. We're still getting out to our subscribers, but it's really dramatically,
00:20:57.140of course, made it harder for us to reach new viewers, new readers, or even our existing ones.
00:21:01.760You know, it's just the nature of it. The more you can get the articles in front of people,
00:21:05.200the better you're going to get readership and reaching out. You know, it was a failed cash
00:21:10.040grab, yet the government still will not back down on this. They're still acting as if
00:21:14.340Meta is going to relent and Google isn't going to start blocking us.
00:21:19.500Well, and you know, this is what happens. Like the government should have realized,
00:21:24.120although it's justin trudeau never underestimate how incompetent he and his cabinet are but you
00:21:30.840know when when the french government tried to control rumble uh rumble said well we just don't
00:21:36.360need to be in france and i'm worried that that's what's going to happen uh with twitter they they
00:21:41.800might just say or x or whatever elon musk is calling it now he they just might say actually
00:21:47.480we just don't need to be in canada but yeah c18 for people who don't know um it's the government's
00:21:54.040shakedown. Again, this is the government offloading the things they want to do onto the private
00:22:00.520sector. The government wants to subsidize the mainstream media, but they offloaded the subsidy
00:22:06.480onto the private sector, onto big tech, and they shook down big tech and said,
00:22:11.900if a user shares a link onto your platforms, you then have to pay the creator of the news content.
00:22:18.860Your boss, Derek Fildebrandt, does a great job of explaining this in layman's terms. He says,
00:22:22.540it's like making the paper boy pay for the pleasure of delivering the newspaper to the
00:22:27.920newspaper company. It doesn't make any sense. The system wasn't broken. There was no need to fix it.
00:22:34.860The broken system was the mainstream media who are creating content nobody wants to pay for.
00:22:41.200And don't kid yourself. It hit us here at Rebel News too, because that's where a lot of our
00:22:48.300traffic comes from is on Facebook and Instagram. Now we have a different business model that allows
00:22:53.660us to reach out directly to our people. But the mainstream media, they are still clamoring for
00:23:02.540this subsidy from big tech, even though turning off the taps to Facebook and Meta have hurt their
00:23:11.140ad dollars. I guess the mainstream media thinks that Justin Trudeau will just pony up the difference
00:26:41.780If 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.
00:26:51.380And 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.
00:26:59.040um these guys i think are and joe warmington these guys are grinding it out and i i would
00:27:07.320not want their job because i feel like every single day they have to prickle to be able to
00:27:12.840speak their minds and speak the truth um and i'm grateful um that those guys are still out there
00:27:19.540because at least my money is going somewhere good if it pays their salaries yeah well and i was at
00:27:27.460a function last night. And I mean, I just, you know, I think we kind of agreed probably like
00:27:31.580people have to remain on guard because we heard some others speaking up saying, oh, don't worry
00:27:35.480about it. Here, Polly will get in and he'll fix everything. Well, maybe, but you know, historically1.00
00:27:41.300governments don't, once they've got a legislation that gives them control of something, even if it
00:27:46.540was the prior government that did it, they're not too quick to let go of that kind of control later.
00:27:51.240I mean, there's no sense. We shouldn't stop the pressure on this for hoping that somebody will
00:27:55.500fix it later. Yeah. And everybody is still looking for Stephen Harper's hidden agenda to undo the
00:28:03.500CBC. It was so hidden, nobody ever found it. A lot of politicians say a lot of things to get votes.
00:28:11.280I don't have a reason to distrust Pierre Polyev yet, except insofar as he's a politician and you
00:28:17.540should never really trust a politician. But we also saw, you know, Jason Kenney saying,
00:28:21.960what even is a vaccine passport? And then all of a sudden he's bringing in one. So,
00:28:26.520you know, don't put your faith in princes. You have to fight to get this stuff repealed. I think
00:28:31.680the last time we saw, again, gun registration, last time we saw a big government control grab
00:28:37.760like this repealed was the gun registry. I think that was really the last time. And when was that?
00:28:43.98015 years ago? 10 years ago? It's been a while. And I mean, I still hold out hope. I just don't want
00:28:49.820to see anybody getting complacent you know and also keep reminding Mr. Polyev then you're on
00:28:54.440the right track please commit to repealing this stuff when you get in assuming the liberals are
00:28:59.920gonna I mean if and when you get in and assuming the liberals are are not going to uh admit defeat
00:29:05.060and get rid of this this odious bill 18. Yeah I mean this is something that the public needs to
00:29:10.420tell their politicians that this is a voting issue for you the ability to consume information in the
00:29:18.980way that you want to consume it without the hand of the state just mucking it up in the middle,
00:29:24.260that's a voting issue. It's a human rights issue, frankly, and we should be treating it as such.
00:29:30.700Well, we'll keep pushing back. I know, you know, there's a lot of stubborn souls out in
00:29:35.100independent media. I use the analogy, it's like playing whack-a-mole. You guys can shut us down
00:29:39.240over here, but we're going to pop up over there and then we're going to pop up over here. We're
00:29:42.000going to pop up over there. So before I let you go, where can we find your show and all that good
00:29:47.800stuff on rebel news? Oh, thanks for letting me tell the world. Uh, so my show, the gun show is
00:29:54.400it's a paywall show at rebel news. So if you would like to subscribe to our paywall, it's
00:29:59.680only eight bucks a month. That's like four coffees. Um, it's to subscribe, just go to
00:30:05.280rebel news plus.com. But for those of you on a tight budget and dealing with Justin Trudeau's
00:30:11.060out of control inflation, if you're willing to sit through a few ads, my show goes live on
00:30:15.780Wednesday, 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
00:30:26.520guys for being along with the rest of us and making sure we still have news and information
00:30:30.680getting out to people. I mean, it lends to confidence to the listeners. We're not going to
00:30:34.360give up. No, we're not. And a rising tide floats all boats. If we fight and we win, we bring all
00:30:40.680the other people along with us. It's an army then to fight Justin Trudeau. Absolutely. All right.
00:30:46.280Thanks again, Sheila. Great to have you on. And I hope we get to talk again soon. You got it.
00:30:51.880So that was Sheila Gunn-Reed, as everybody already knows of, well, the gun show and rebel media. So
00:30:58.940yeah, the battle goes on and it's on so many fronts. It's always control. It's control,
00:31:03.420control, control. That's been a trend of the Trudeau government since the start, really.
00:31:07.540You know, it's always trying to grasp more control, not trying to fix his own policy issues or anything like that, but just trying to control other things.
00:31:16.440One commenter saying, you know, accurate criticisms are a part of a free speech society.
00:31:21.800It's how it's self-correct. It's true.
00:31:27.760There will be issues coming, but they will iron out in the long run.
00:31:31.900But you've got to stay out of it. I do not trust any government to control my speech, my expression, my access to news, though some I trust less than others.
00:31:40.220But we can't let down our guards on this. And as I was saying to Sheila, we just have to make sure that Mr. Poliev is well aware that we want that followed up on, presuming he's the next prime minister of Canada.
00:31:54.260We'll see. There's still a long time to go to that. The polls are horrific for Justin Trudeau. It's been interesting to watch.
00:31:59.620I mean, they're just going down and down and down. It doesn't seem to be matter what they're doing.
00:32:04.040You know, the term used for them, people have used, you know, ironically with them, is true anon, you know, a play on the QAnon thing.
00:32:10.500But you watch the social media almost cult-like following of Trudeau that just does not matter what he does.
00:32:16.500They will not criticize him. But how? How can you still start defending when you're trailing this badly?
00:32:22.940It really says so much to the cult-like nature of the liberals when, do you have any positive ideology?
00:32:29.620Do you have any goals? Do you have any policies you want to get through?
00:32:32.820Or are you really actually willing to go down with this ship?
00:32:35.800Do you really want to see a lost election coming and you will just go down rather than replace your leader?
00:32:41.840Well, nobody take Trudeau aside and say, dude, you did your time.
