Transcript

00:00:00.000 well speaking of martyrs let's talk about the most serious of them all the one who has been so
00:00:05.760 wronged rachel gilmore uh rachel gilmore like it's been so hard done by it's so uh uh she's uh
00:00:17.120 again uh someone who's claimed to be censored herself and but i don't actually think has been
00:00:23.120 but uh just if she's nothing if not consistent consistently stupid and consistently wrong
00:00:33.040 and it's her god-given right believe you god or not it's her god-given right to be both of those
00:00:37.760 things every day of the week she takes full advantage of it but it's my god-given duty
00:00:41.840 to point it out and make fun of it when i can um she uh you know what i'll just put it to you
00:00:47.840 elise uh you had a great little mix up maybe um john will pull up uh some of the uh screenshots of
00:00:54.720 what happened here but she she lost her uh on cory and on you uh and then i i'm gonna i have an
00:01:02.720 invitation to make don't don't preempt me on that uh you know i'm talking about um but uh at least
00:01:08.640 why don't you just kind of give a quick synopsis and we'll throw a graphic up on the screen here okay
00:01:12.560 okay well i were i into the conversation is being an avid to do one of her i would say cheeky little
00:01:21.120 versions of pun entry but she's no longer a pundit in fact she's only being censored because she's it's
00:01:28.400 not good enough to be out there with the other pundits and commentators uh and uh i wouldn't even
00:01:37.040 call it it's it's not censoring it's just we're not interested no thank you um but everything has to
00:01:42.400 turn into some sort of hate issue or anti-feminist or you know with rachel gilmar there it can't just
00:01:49.360 be that she's terrible at what she does and she also doesn't i don't believe that she is very truthful
00:01:54.000 and factful and this is a great example of that largely ignored because um she's she's not worth my
00:02:01.920 time but when she starts spewing i think um very dangerous uh mis misinformation disinformation i'm
00:02:09.600 going to lean on disinformation and she manipulates what is very clear uh which was very clear in the
00:02:15.440 charter uh to suit her own purposes and i we can only surmise what those goals and objectives and
00:02:22.160 purposes are um but i stepped forward because she had written a tweet um i believe it was some sort of
00:02:28.080 screen capture from um this show that she does in her living room called bubble pop um and it was talking
00:02:37.120 about uh what freedom of expression is that we don't have freedom of speech that he has no the singer
00:02:42.640 had no right to be there i mean it went on on on and it was garbage um it was it was rooted in absolute
00:02:51.360 falsehood so i stepped in and she proceeded not to address my tweets because she was too cowardly to
00:02:57.200 actually debate me in that that conversation but then she sort of subtweeted me and i think core of some of
00:03:04.880 this and so i just responded and said listen let gloves off let's have a debate i'm asking you to
00:03:10.720 debate me on the charter of rights i'm asking you to debate me on this particular issue and for you to
00:03:16.400 stand by by um the well i would say the untruthful if you believe that um then you have a serious
00:03:30.720 problem and maybe you in my language um and i wish i could say the same thing about ms gilmore you can
00:03:36.240 tell exactly where ms gilmore's coming from in this conversation guys because the vernacular
00:03:43.600 the style the tone of her response to me really said everything about her lack of education on this
00:03:50.960 matter and like i said to you derek it's really dangerous we need to correct uh the damage that
00:03:55.840 rachel gilmore's doing and others like her yeah uh so you know uh soon after this i you know i got
00:04:03.760 a chuckle actually we all we had a gut a gut bursting laughter in the newsroom yesterday when we saw
00:04:10.480 uh this stuff between you and her and corey uh going on uh so i i i gave you a call uh no i what i
00:04:17.840 tweeted is uh first uh you try to do a debate and i said the western standard be happy to host
00:04:22.640 uh to which she's just no no yeah okay fine whatever um but uh i called you up i said i think
