Alexa LeVois, Kat Krasnowski, and Nappy Azzi dissect Doug Ford’s $10B+ spending spree—surpassing Kathleen Wynne even after inflation—while mocking misallocated funds like London’s "insect factory." They link Brittany Griner’s 9-year Russian sentence to post-Ukraine invasion leverage, slam monkeypox messaging for avoiding stigma over blunt warnings, and debate whether COVID lockdowns caused heart risks or vaccine studies were a distraction. The episode ties pandemic policies to broader cultural battles, from Addison Ray’s "blasphemous" bikini to Trudeau-Castro shirt theories, questioning systemic accountability while urging personal responsibility amid health crises.

Welcome to the Rebel News daily live stream, which airs every weekday at 12 p.m. Eastern Time on YouTube, Rumble, Getter, Odyssey.
But we really want to convert you all to Rumble because that's where we get a lot of our chats, which we're going to be reading throughout the show.
So please send us in your chats.
We're going to read them live on the air and we appreciate all of your donations.
And we can be more honest on Rumble.
Yeah.
They don't censor us.
It's true.
It's nice not getting censored.
So, Alexa, tell us what's going on.
Oh, my God.
It's hot.
It's why I have like my ventilator.
Now it's just like, I look like I have the hair in the wind.
Yeah, no, you look like a beauty model mermaid as usual.
Oh, no.
It's just the ventilator.
It's not magical.
She's a unicorn.
It's freezing in the studio.
Yeah, it's really cool.
So I am frozen, but it's hot as well here.
We are starting to sweat, though.
Yeah, we're sweaty and cold.
So it's fun.
Yeah.
Having a good time.
I think I prefer smells.
Wham.
No, like, no splashes.
Yeah.
Yeah, but you're where the bugs are.
Your audience members will get wet.
Everybody's left.
Yes.
All right.
So we have a lot of interesting things to talk about today.
Should we just jump into our first story?
Which, what do we got?
What do you guys want to talk about first?
Let's talk about Doug Ford spending.
Well, he's on track to spend more than former liberal premier Kathleen Wynne, which is interesting because when he was running, they frequently criticized the liberal government spending.
And now they're basically doing exactly what they didn't want to do.
Yeah.
So, and the article makes a point to mention that even when you adjust for inflation, Doug Ford is still on track to spend more than Kathleen Wynne, which is just funny.
And my note was like, maybe it's because when the liberals are in power, they always have the conservatives being like, you're spending too much, you're spending too much.
But when the conservatives are in power, they only have the NDP and the liberals who are like love spending.
So there's no one to really like hold them to it.
Exactly.
That's my theory.
But Doug Ford promised to cut spending and balance the budget.
So it's like.
Politician breaking a premish.
Yeah.
It's just crazy.
We can't trust these people.
No.
But unfortunately, if you look at all the without appeal contract that he gave to everybody, you find out that they spend more than we think.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's so true.
And then you're like, well, maybe this is maybe why the cost of living is so high because our government is just spending like it's their day job.
I'm not an economist, but sure.
Yeah.
Fact.
Debunked.
It's debunked.
But it's funny because we keep seeing like people, I mean, I go on Reddit and Reddit is just like a bunch of liberal people, but I keep seeing people talk about how like Doug Ford is cutting so many jobs in the healthcare system specifically.
And yet he's on track.
Like, where's what?
What is he spending it on?
I didn't read the entire article because we were strapped for time.
Yeah, like Ontario does it same.
But Ontario doesn't seem like it's improving.
Like, are they spending more money on infrastructure?
Like, are they, you know, helping out the homeless?
Like, what is it?
Like, because I'm not, you're right.
I'm not seeing the fruits of their spending.
And if liberals are upset that healthcare is going down the tubes, it's like, so where's the money going?
Dougie?
Yeah.
Dougie, Dougie.
Good question.
Hopefully it's not going towards cheesecakes.
Yeah.
It's probably going towards that insect factory that they built.
The bugs.
The bugs in London.
Well, so you need to know, like in Quebec City, okay?
We have a bridge, but because if you've never been to Quebec, you need to understand that you have like the south and the north, and they separate by a bridge.
And we have two bridges.
One, I have like 200 years, and the other one I have 50 years, okay?
And so they find out because of a whistleblower, they find out that the bridge is actually really dangerous and can collapse like if it's not repaired.
And so our premier went out to say, no, no, the bridge is safe at the moment.
And like now we find out that a contract without appeal again of $8 million of dollars have been giving to replace like all the cable at like how many cable?
I think it's 25 cable.
25 cable.
That's a lot in the bridge.
Oh my goodness.
So the government does not care about us.
Our safety and this just in government unaccountable.
Abort government.
Yes.
That's my solution to that.
We should like have like, do we have a shirt?
We do.
Abort government.
Yes, it is.
It's a misunderstood shirt.
Yes, order misunderstood merch.com, y'all.
And right now, if you buy two unisex shirts, you get one free using the code summer at checkout.
But you need all three shirts in your cart to get the promo code to work.
So add all three of your carts.
That's a good tip.
Use code summer and buy our abort government shirt.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Or the beautiful assume my gender shirt.
Yes, that one's a good one.
More of a climate one.
We have a climate one that says, the only climate crisis is how hot I am.
Yeah.
Oh.
And that one is for Catherine.
It is.
Yes.
And we also have one with the original definition of a female, which has recently been changed.
Abort Government Merch00:03:38
So it's actually like collector's item.
It's basically like vintage.
So head over to misunderstood merch.com and buy your merch.
Twitter.
All right.
Should we move on to more exciting things?
And by exciting, you mean tragic.
More than, oh, I was like, more than Doc Ford.
Everything is more exciting.
That's a good point.
That's a great point.
So here, most people will probably have heard about this.
Yesterday was all over the news.
Brittany Greener Griner.
Griner.
She has been sentenced to nine years in Russian prison for smuggling marijuana or narcotics.
Basically, this article is about how people are upset that Biden lacked leverage in the negotiation to get her back to the USA.
They wanted to exchange her and another inmate or prisoner for one Russian guy who's like an arms dealer.
Yeah, he's like a bad guy.
But Russia decided not to.
That's fair.
Yeah.
I've heard different things, and I don't know which one's true.
Either he only had a year left on his sentence, but also I read that he had a 25-year sentence.
So either way, Russia's like, nah, we good.
We good.
We have other arms dealers.
Brittany now.
Yeah, so they're keeping her.
And it's interesting because I did like a really short timeline of her detainment.
But so in February of 2022, she was detained and charged with smuggling.
And then seven days after that, Russia invaded Ukraine.
So it's potentially arguable that had they not been on the brink of war, maybe they would have been like, whatever, like we'll let her.
We'll detain her for a little while and then we'll let her go.
But this is like a huge bargaining chip now that Russia has.
And apparently she's like a really famous female basketball player.
I didn't know female athletes could be famous.
I did not either.
That's a Thomas.
Yeah.
She got nine years when we look at some of the pedophiles or people who rape or do sexual assault get way less than that.
Yeah.
But it's Russia, right?
So we don't know how like I don't know how their legal system works.
Probably a bit brutal.
It's probably a bit brutal, probably not all peaches and cream, but I I do think, like when you're going to another country, you should respect the laws of that country.
I mean, you travel all over the world Alexa like yeah, you know, like you know that you should be obedient to their laws like, but I don't know if you remember, but it's you um, I think it was two Kibaker young girl that went to Australia with drugs and they were, they were arrested for a long time.
And I would like, when they, like Australia, take the drugs really seriously, to compare to other countries where like, if you get caught in Colombia, I don't think that you will have like a huge sentence for yeah yeah, that's fair.
Yeah, when I was like I, I was in high school and I went to Turkey and before I left, my dad was like, don't be bringing any of those marijuana cigarettes, I was like I won't, i'd still be in prison.
No, but I did.
No, I didn't.
She obeys the law.
Yeah, it's brutal and it's sad, but but now, like just, and you know, we'll all legalize like everything.
So now here, like just, come here if you want to uh, do something with the drugs.
So next week, live on the air, we'll be doing meth.
I'm just kidding.
Can I say that probably there's bugs on my skin anyway.
Anyways, don't do drugs folks, and don't bring them to Russia.
Definitely don't bring them to Russia.
Uh story yes, pretty much sweet.
Yeah, I think we nailed that.
Yeah, we nailed that.
Women's Restroom Rights00:15:04
Should we?
Should we take another ad break?
Let's do an ad break, let's do an ad break, even though we just already did, like an impromptu ad.
Well, this is, this is a great piggyback onto our last ad break.
Y'all some more misunderstood merch, because you can't get enough, you can't, you can't.
We are in Alexa.
I'm certainly sick of seeing that, but the merch did look pretty good.
It looked pretty good.
And don't forget, use Summer.
Use code SUMMER.
Yeah yes, if you don't want to keep seeing the ad, you should buy the shirts, buy all of them, and then you'll never have to see the ad again.
So perfect, I think we have our first chat too, so maybe we should read that already, you guys.
So this is from Noble Canadian.
Thank you for your 40.
Goodness awesome, thank you.
It's great that Sheila and Sarah are going to drop off the human rights complaint against your dough to the UN and for the rebels.
Take part of this donation for Ever.
Beverage cools you down.
Oh, that's sweet.
I'm pretty sure it all goes to TDF.
No, she means her $40.
Oh, her $40.
That goes to keep the lights on.
So we really appreciate your generous donation.
But yeah, it's very cool.
And you can follow all of their coverage of the Geneva Switzerland complaint trip at humanrightscomplaint.com.
And you can also donate to offset the cost of their trip because it costs a lot of money to hire an amazing lawyer like Sarah Miller.
And it costs a lot of money to fly across the country randomly.
I mean, across the world, sorry.
And all that money does go to TDF.
Like anything you do, right?
No.
Oh, that funds our trip.
Oh, my bad, guys.
My bad.
So go to humanrightscomplaint.com, read up about it.
You can read the complaints.
I will read up about it as well.
It's a 15-page complaint.
And we're fighting for all of the Canadians who've been stomped on over the last two years by none other than Justin Trudeau, your favorite prime minister.
I know.
I'm his fancy socks.
His fancy socks.
Alrighty, let's move on to some hot stuff.
Yeah, hot stuff.
Yeah.
So I don't know who Addison Ray is.
I'm not going to lie.
She's like a TikToker?
I think so.
She's some.
She's like a TikToker.
But she has been blasted for a blasphemous Christianity-themed bikini.
So apparently, this is a new line that Adidas has partnered with her or some other people to create this praying line.
And it's basically just blasphemy.
It's just blasphemy, the whole thing.
It's also just like not that nice for $100.
It's so not nice.
It's so her.
Is it $100?
Yeah.
Oh, my goodness.
It's literally just a bikini with the words Father, Son, and Holy Spirit on her nethers.
Yeah.
And it's like, yeah, again, like, where's the design?
It's just shock value.
It's not even like, that's not even cute.
It's not cute.
And it's just, it's so funny how like celebrities in the media are just so outright about their hatred and disrespect for Christianity.
But you know, it jokes on you, Addison Ray, because one day every knee is going to bow and it's going to be yours.
And hopefully you're not wearing that bikini.
Yeah.
Because it's not cute.
And we're like, do Islam next.
Like, imagine if it was any other religion.
Imagine.
And like, you shouldn't do that.
No, you just shouldn't.
You should respect people's religions.
Yeah.
It's just rude.
If you're not Christian, that's cool.
Do you.
But why do you have to stomp on someone else's religion when you know you would never do that for other people's religions?
Because that would be so rude and you wouldn't do it.
Don't disrespect God.
It's a big person to disrespect.
Yeah, but also it's like, why do people do this kind of stuff for attention?
Yeah.
We're giving it to her and that's what we do.
We talk about people and then we're like, why do they do it?
Do you guys think her parents are proud?
But I would say that they're getting paid $100.
I can make you with like probably my store or something.
Like maybe some towel.
Yeah, like I killed bugs.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I could come up with a Alexa could come up with a better design in her sleep.
I think you could just use a shower curtain, like pull a gone with the wind and use some curtains and make something much cuter.
I think that that's what we'll do next week on the live sign after on our show a million times, but like modern fashion is so boring.
Yeah, it is.
Like give us something cool.
Yeah.
Give us something more and don't be an idiot.
You know, exactly.
Yeah.
All right.
Okay.
Moving on.
Oh, this one's sad.
This one is sad.
Oh, yeah.
Do you want to take it away, Alexa?
Yeah.
It's about an 80-year-old granny ban from WMCA after demanding theological male leave woman locker room where little girl were undressing.
Yeah.
So they banned.
I'm sorry.
They ban her when actually she was putting in life a really big issue.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like I understand, like, okay, cool.
If someone, this person actually is suffering from gender dysphoria and they are really transgender and they identify as a woman, then go, like, they should have a separate bathroom.
Yeah, they should.
And a lot of cases do.
Yeah.
And I just don't think adults who are of another sex should be changing with little girls.
No.
And the YMCA is.
Like, it was originally, it's called the Young Men's Christian Association or something.
Something like that.
But it's no longer, like, it's basically a family gym and pool.
Mostly, there's like, I used to go and swim there when I was a little kid.
So there's tons of kids at the YMCA.
Like, if you want to be an adult and have like your adult body and do whatever you want to do as an adult, go to another gym where there aren't kids.
Go to the YMCA.
It's specifically made, like, literally, it's all for families.
So this 80-year-old, so I'll just read like a little excerpt from the article.
It says, an 80-year-old Washington state woman has been banned from using her local YMCA's public pool after she expressed discomfort with a biological male in the women's locker room as young girls were undressing.
She was in the shower when she heard a male voice and peeked out to find a biological male in a women's swimsuit engaging with little girls who were undressing.
Like, why are you engaging with strangers' kids?
Yeah.
Like, that's another thing.
You're a stranger.
Stranger danger.
Like, don't talk to me.
I wouldn't talk to a child who's undressing in a change room.
I probably wouldn't talk to a child at all in a change room.
Oh, yeah, no.
Yeah, that's a great point.
You know, like, just like, let's let them do their thing with their parents.
Hopefully their parents, like, where are their parents?
That's what I want to know.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Like, but it's a really good point.
My concern is as well, like, it's, it's not because you wear like a woman swimming suit that make you being allowed to go in this swimming changing room.
No, because we don't know who was this person.
And maybe, maybe, maybe, because I wasn't there, I didn't see like the scene.
I, I, but maybe it just the child was just saying something and you just reply or something like that.
We don't know what I've been saying or anything.
But my point is, um, when you wear swimming suits of a woman, some people should like being sure that R is really a trans.
Like, or more transparent.
We don't know.
Some people are just like, you know, I'm going to wear a swimming suit and I can like go and vote swimming.
Yeah.
Like cheat the system.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's a good point.
Well, we've, we've talked about this all of us before and we've talked about this on Misunderstood a lot, but like we've, there's so many instances of biological males who claim to be women who go into these spaces and they harm women.
And if, and like, that's bad enough, but harm children, like you, that's a full stop.
That's a full stop.
Like good, goodness gracious.
Like, let's just not touch the children.
Let's, you know, exactly.
I think, like, for me, I can't speak for you guys, but like, I think it's reasonable to say if a biological male wants to wear a female swimsuit, that's, it's like me riding a man's bike.
Like, who cares?
I don't care.
I don't care.
But that doesn't, like Alexa just said, wearing a female bathing suit doesn't make you a woman.
It doesn't allow you to go into the change room where, like, again, if you've ever been in a YMCA change room full of kids.
It's, and it's also full of nudity.
Like, when I was a little kid, I saw so many old ladies naked.
It was an 80-year-old.
Yeah, but it's like you all kind of stay in your lane.
Yeah.
Like, you keep your eyes down.
Like, the old people love to walk around nude.
It's distressing.
But I respect their freedom.
I respect their freedom too.
But it's like, they're women.
They're old.
If I was a little kid and I saw a ding-a-ling in the women's bathroom, I would be like, I don't want to go back to the YMCA, mother.
Please don't make me go there.
It would be very upsetting.
The fact that this, like, she wasn't naked.
She was wearing a women's swimsuit.
But, like, how did she get in the swimsuit?
Like, you should, it's just so gross.
They should have a separate bathroom for transgender people or people who don't want to be seen naked or want a little privacy.
Like, have that space for whoever.
And just leave kids alone.
Yeah, leave kids alone.
It creeps.
All right.
It's super good.
Yeah.
That's great.
Should we move on?
We're slamming through these.
Yes.
Also, guys, don't forget to send in your chats.
We want to read them throughout the show.
We'd love to have a conversation with you.
Keep a conversation.
You know, send us a few bucks and we'll ask Alexa a question in French.
Ask her a question in French.
She'll eat a bug live on the air if you send $50.
We should, we should.
Okay, $100.
Yeah, fine.
$100.
Oh, my God.
Did you see my new bugs?
They all like really used.
Oh, I saw them.
She'll take one bite.
They're disgusting.
She's $100.
It was horrifying.
I think we can definitely sell Alexa.
Yes.
Oh, my God.
So $100, Alexa eats a bug.
You already care first, folks.
All right.
Speaking of bugs, this is an STD, not a bug, but it's a bug of sorts.
As monkeypox strikes, gay men, officials debate warnings to limit partners.
So in other words, the officials are so scared of being deemed a bigot that they would rather people just go out and have orgies and get infected.
So that's them really caring for people.
That's so sweet.
And had this not come on the tail of two years of kids being locked out of playgrounds, of bulldozers putting sand on skate parks, of them putting salt on ice rinks, then it would be like, okay, whatever.
They don't want to tell people what to do.
I can respect that.
But I can't.
Yeah.
But because it's just so ideologically inconsistent from what we've been experiencing for the past two years, especially because they just declared monkeypox an emergency in the United States.
So if it's such a big deal and it's spreading so rapidly, then we should tell certain communities who are being primarily infected by this disease that they need to maybe, you know, practice safer sex or monogamy or don't go to orgies.
I don't know.
It's not that difficult.
Yeah.
Just for remember that during the pandemic, our premiere told us all to have sex.
With masks on.
Oh, yeah.
Right.
So we were supposed to practice safer sex then.
Yeah.
When it wasn't an STD versus now, when we know that this basically is a sexually transformed.
They were telling people to have sex with masks on.
Yeah.
But this is an actual STD.
Like it's, is it an SD?
I think if Nat had a monkeypox and I had one and we just rubbed skin, I think that they would transfer that way.
But usually we're not rubbing like our blisters, our blisters on each other.
But my thing is like there, so it is primarily targeting gay men because not because the virus is like, oh, I only target gay men.
No, it doesn't discriminate.
No, it's because primarily gay men are the ones having orgies, but it's like straight people have orgies too.
So I feel like the way out of this like monogamy is the way out of this.
Yes.
But I mean like their HR nightmare, just don't use, don't target the gay community with the message.
Just be like, hey, everyone, Nat, don't have any orgies, Nat.
And I was like, then it's not a gay issue.
But I think don't have orgies for all.
My single point is why you need to tell people if you have it, you don't have sex.
Yeah.
Like why we have, we reach the point to act as their children and say, you know what?
If you have like some symptom, like please don't have sex.
You should know better.
You should just know better.
Exactly.
Yeah.
No, absolutely.
Yeah.
And like it's, it's exactly the same as when if I'm sick, I'm going to not go out and go to parties and come to work.
Like that's because I've spread it.
I don't want to spread.
Like, if I have a cold, COVID or not, whatever, I'm like, oh, I have the sniffles.
I don't want to get other people sick.
Like, I'm going to work from home today.
I have that option.
Not everyone does.
But if you're someone who frequents orgies, whatever your sexual orientation, you should be like, oh, I have like a blister on my thing.
I'm not going to go to the orgy tonight.
Yeah, maybe skip it.
And I just, I just don't like that there's this concern for stigmatizing the gay community.
I think our care should be about trying to protect these people.
I don't want anyone to get monkeypox.
So we need to educate people and we need to actually help them and not worry about our reputations or being called a bigot because we're like, hey, guys, don't go to an orgy.
Like, I'm sorry.
Yeah.
Because, you know, they think it's homophobic.
It's not.
But we've been human phobic for two years.
Like, we literally told people to stay six feet apart.
People walking on sidewalks would like jump out of the way, be like, oh, like, squeeze your mask in the elevator.
Like, we still do that.
People are freaked out and they were scared of their fellow humans, but now we're like, oh, no, no, but we can't tell people not to have gay orgies.
Like, yeah.
Yeah, you can.
It's like, but again, I think you just take the word gay out of it and it takes away the whole problem.
But I just think, I think, though, if it is primarily infecting them, you should be trying to target them and not worry about the eurigma.
I just want to, I want to help people.
I don't care if you're gay or straight.
I don't want you to get monkeypox.
And you don't want monkeypox either, guys.
Gross.
It's probably painful, too.
In the same time, orgy can have like both sex in a city.
I know.
Educate Not Exclude00:04:34
Yes.
So my earlier orgies?
Monogamy.
Don't go to orgies.
All right.
So judgmental.
What are you supposed to do on a Tuesday night net?
I don't tell me.
Television is terrible.
I'm talking about knitting or something.
We have a few chats, guys.
Do we want to read some?
Do you want me to, I'll take away the first one and you guys can.
I'm scared.
No $100.
Okay, perfect.
Okay.
This is from Frasbo.
Thank you for your $5.
Since you can't sue the drug companies and the governments, can you sue the corrupt World Economic Forum and the corrupt WHO as they pushed the coronavirus lockdown mandates?
Who can you sue if you were injured or killed by these jabs?
In the same time, the World Economic Forum just spread some idea.
So it's not the one in charge.
It's the individual who follow the idea and make them happen.
So the World Economic Forum, in a certain sense, it cannot be sue or anything because at one point it would just say, I just say that like that.
Yeah.
He's been backed by like all of the billionaires of the world.
Yeah, and so not all of them, but a lot of rich people.
Like that.
I think I know what you mean, Alexa.
Like they're not imposing the laws.
No.
It would be like influence.
It would be like, yeah, they're influencing people in government, cabinets, in governments to impose those laws.
But so can we sue, like, can I sue Doug Ford?
Can I sue Teresa Lamb?
Okay, but then how long is that going to take in our legal system?
You know, like, I don't know if it's just a Teresa Tam?
Tam?
Teresa?
Tam.
Tam, whatever.
Yeah.
Sorry, Alex.
We just made amalgamy.
Whatever.
So, you know, the kind of serial killer that influenced other people to care for them.
So it's, they are not responsible for anything.
Yeah.
Like, what's that guy's name?
I don't know.
You know, the okay.
But the serial killer, Charles Manson, like he, he influenced people to go murder on his behalf.
That's a good point, Alexa.
Well, that's not nice.
Okay, no.
Well, let's move on to another chat before we get kicked off.
We're going to get sued.
So do you want to read this one?
Do you want to pull her up for us?
Next chat?
Here we go.
Okay, here we go.
Trini Canadian, $1.
Thank you very much.
Found this breaking news on The Guardian that China just launched missiles over Taiwan Island.
Oh, damn.
Why are more countries more emboldened now since Trump is out of office?
That's a good question.
It's pretty scary what's going on in China and I'm not like super privy to it all, but I know that recently an American like carrier went into the water between China and Taiwan or something like that.
Again, please look it up yourself.
But things are heating up.
It's not great.
It's really not great.
It's pretty scary.
And I think it has something to do with like Trinity Canadian just mentioned, politicians like Vladimir Putin are more emboldened since Trump is out of office so they can stomp on Joe Biden.
Yeah, because he's incoherent.
He's literally sleeping in his bed right now, drooling.
And that's a fact, which is sad.
It is sad.
I feel bad for him.
Yeah, America needs a strong leader because America is like a pinnacle of hope and freedom.
And, you know, we need like Top Gun for real.
We need Top Gun and we will call Tom Cruise after this.
Tom Cruise can fly a plane.
Please, please help us, Tom Cruise.
All right, we have another chat here.
Free Canadian.
Ladies, why do you not create a merch for Andrew says?
He is being left out.
You're hurting his feelings.
So we design our own merch and we put it up and Nat does all the back end.
Like she comes up with the names.
I design it and then she puts it on the website.
So like Andrew can do that for himself.
Yeah.
Just call our store guy, Andrew.
Yeah.
I don't think that Andrew would be able to do like a really nice merch.
He did ask us nicely.
We could help him.
Yeah.
If you need creative advice, we are here for you.
Yeah, we'll help.
We like Andrew.
And be sure to follow Andrew on Twitter and Instagram for more hot takes, y'all.
He's a funny guy.
Andrew Says.
Yeah, we do all of that work ourselves.
So if he wants to do it, he's going on through him.
Yeah, just stop being lazy, Andrew.
But thank you for your donation.
Yes, thank you.
Andrew loves to see me eating bugs.
Yeah, he does.
He might send $100 in himself.
Yes.
Andrew, send in $100 and Alexa will eat bugs.
We have another chat here.
This is from Noble Canadian for $5.
Thank you.

What got each of you ladies involved in journalism and what was your first assignment for Rebel?
Wow.
Okay, Alexa, you go first.
Okay.
No pressure.
No pressure.
Entertain us.
So I came from Africa where I got Malaria.
Didn't we all?
Sorry.
And so when I came back, it was in March 2020.
So I came back.
I had nothing, no apartment.
I was a bit left myself behind.
And I got arrested for illegal gathering at home because, as you know, Quebec was a police state during the pandemic.
And so afterwards, I contacted Rebel and I really wanted to feel not alone in all this.
And Rebel helped me out.
And I met Mocha and Mocha wanted me in the team.
So yeah.
And here you are.
And we're so glad.
And now you're a star who's been shot.
Who was shot?
Okay, when we say that it sounds like she was shot by a gun.
She was shot by a pepper spray cannon, but ouch.
Yeah.
We all saw, I saw it live.
I was washing dishes when I saw that.
And I was like, oh my God.
Oh, my God.
I was so freaked out.
And then I messaged you and I was like, can you not work anymore?
And then you were just working and you were back to work.
She's past.
What about you, girl?
Yeah.
Well, I didn't really get hired at Rebel as a journalist.
And I only kind of do it sometimes.
And then we do our show.
I got hired.
Well, I heard, I kind of got in touch with Rebel because I had a podcast before Rebel News that I will not mention the name of.
And that's kind of what got me into it.
And then we met through Rebel.
And then that's when we pitched our show because we did a live stream in January on January 6th, 2022.
And it made a lot of people mad because we're apparently Valley girls.
Yeah, they're like, oh, it's not the Kardashian hour.
And we're like, but it should be.
Show me something.
We made a show about it, and that's that's where misunderstood came to be.
And then we do a lot of journalism together.
Yeah, we do.
We like to go out together because it's fun.
Yeah, it's nice.
Because if we get shot, we'll be together.
Yeah, and I can hold, I can put something on the wound.
Yeah, and I can cry.
Yeah, it's good.
And I also wasn't hired as a journalist.
I was hired as a video editor and a graphics person.
But it was during the pandemic when there were so many Fight the Finds cases.
And Ezra sent out a general message to everyone here.
He's like, We need people to go out and interview people.
And like, I was like, I was like, me.
And so I did that.
Go-getter.
I was like, go.
Well, I just like, you know, I love the spotlight.
Yeah.
No, but I met some amazing people through the Fight the Finds.
My first case was, or story was a 16-year-old girl's birthday party.
The neighbors called the cops on her, and she and her mom got a bunch of tickets.
It was like six people there.
They were all family.
And it was super sad.
That's horrible.
Yeah.
So that's.
And then, yeah, not the misunderstood thing.
And now we're here.
And now we're here.
We have the pink show, as my dad calls it.
Yes.
Yeah.
Anyway, great question.
Thank you all for your donations.
Please continue to send in your chats.
We'd love reading them.
It's so fun to engage with you guys live on the air.
And again, if you send us, you send $100.
Should we play a store ad?
I see we have one in the queue.
Yeah, let's do it.
Let's do it.
Okay.
Okay.
We're going to say goodbye to YouTube because we're going to talk a little bit about the COVID.
Yeah.
And the fun part.
Yeah, the fun part.
So click the link in the description if you are watching on YouTube.
You shouldn't be, by the way, because we need you to convert to Rumble.
We're pro Rumble here at Rebel News.
And of course, you can also do Odyssey Getter.
Yeah.
So click the link in the description and move on over, folks, and send in your chats.
Let's play an ad for the store.
Hey, folks, check out the newest arrival to the Rebel News store.
Yes, F is for Fidel and F is for father.
I mean, could it be?
Yes, half this photo, the colored half, is Justin Trudeau.
The black and white half is a young Fidel Castro.
Wait, no, or is it vice versa?
It's so confusing.
I'm a huge forensic files fan.
Wouldn't it be great if we could have a piece of Justin's DNA and a piece of Fidel's DNA and put the rumor to bed once and for all?
But in the meantime, we'll just have to walk around wearing this shirt, hinting at a great Canadian conspiracy.
Or is it in any event?
If you want to get this shirt, folks, go to the Rebel News store and check this out.
Type in our new discount code that's summer.
S-U-M-N-E-R.
And if you buy two unisex t-shirts, you get an additional one for free.
What a deal.
Like I said, Justin Trudeau, Adele Castro.
So used to say on the ABC Detergent ads, Can you tell the difference?
I can't tell the difference.
I think he should quit journalism and do store ads per month.
He's amazing.
He's just so compelling.
He is hilarious.
Anyway, go buy that shirt.
I just love watching that ad.
Yeah, it's so cool.
We should redo ours.
We should redo ours and we'll ask him for some advice.
Yes.
All righty.
Should we talk about COVID a little bit before we get into a few more chats?
Let's talk about COVID, everyone.
This is an interesting piece of news that no one could have foreseen.
Social isolation, loneliness associated with higher risks of heart attack and stroke.
Science review.
Okay.
So in a parent, I would have seen that coming.
Apparently, the risk of social isolation increases as we get older.
Locking old people in long-term care homes, probably not the best for their health.
Probably not.
It's almost like when you're a prisoner and you're a really dangerous prisoner, they put you in social isolation and it makes you worse and more.
And like there's studies that we've talked about that make you more insane and violent.
It would.
But it's not like we already knew all that.
Like, it's just funny how, like, what, where is this from?
CTV?
Is it me or like everything can cause you a heart attack now?
Like, if you breathe, the sun.
Yeah.
That's actually too much lately.
That's a really interesting point, though, because it's like, we've seen a lot of people, and I'm, this is maybe speculation, but we talked about this last week, Alexa, all the doctors who suddenly died in like a week in Canada.
These were young, healthy people, and they were obviously vaccinated.
So it's like, do you think they're trying to like spew this narrative about heart issues because they don't want people to link it around the vaccine, like link it to the vaccine rather?
Yeah.
Well, that's just like it's cruel because it's not the truth.
It's kind of gaslighting people in a way.
Well, that's, I've also noticed that, like, like Alexa just mentioned, like, they saying, they're saying everything can cause a heart attack.
Like, I've seen like sleep problems and shoveling, working out.
Yeah.
I saw in the winter, it's like shoveling your driveway in the winter can cause a heart attack.
Like, okay.
Attaching your shoes.
Like, your last.
Yes.
I was like, what?
And this is like, it's interesting because this particular one is about social isolation, which is like COVID adjacent because of all the lockdown measurements.
But it's like measurements, measures.
But it's interesting because it's like slowly they're moving in the direction where it's like, maybe some of the COVID policy were bad for your health.
It's like tiptoeing around the obvious.
They're like, it wasn't the vaccine, though.
No, that's all peaches and cream.
Well, and one of the other things they talked about was like social isolation during childhood was associated with increased levels of risk factors for cardiovascular issues in adulthood.
So I guess locking kids down as well, preventing them from going to school is going to affect them when they grow up now.
Like that's not fair.
Like that's like, where's the justice for these children who are now because they were isolated for two years may grow up and have heart issues assuming this study is accurate.
Yeah.
And it's fascinating.
I can't imagine the actual link because I can see how it would make them psychotic.
Yeah.
But I can't see like I really want to read that study that say that self-isolation can cause like heart like disease.
I'm actually, I really want to read that and see like where it's come from all the study and what they did for funding that house because that seems actually a lot of people live alone and live really like far away and they will live healthy all their life.
Yeah, I wonder if it's just how people internalize loneliness though, like because they're right, some people like to be alone and they're okay with that, but I think some people are not able to cope as well.
And I think that's when you kind of suffer from loneliness in like a different way.
I think that must have something to do with it.
Yeah, it's like if it's forced on you.
Yeah.
Like I can imagine someone who's like, I want to live in a cabin in the woods alone and they have like a very like you just said they're very healthy.
They live long, healthy lives.
They have like long gray beards and they walk in their pastures and they're happy.
But like for someone who's like living in a city who's been used to being socialized.
But it's mostly because of anxiety or other like really pressure emotional feeling that will make you have more damage to your heart because it's more like you crisp.
It's your body that crits when you're anxiety or you have a panic attack.
Your muscle is crispy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Stress kills.
So.
Yeah, that's probably it.
That's probably it.
Like, it's literally like if you like stress is stressful on your body, it's not just stressful.
It's exactly for you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You can make yourself sick with your brain.
Yeah.
So take care of your mental health and pray.
Let's read some more chats.
We've got quite a few rolling in here, guys.
Yay!
No $100 yet, but we're still holding out hope.
It's going to be crunchy, you guys.
Does someone want to read this one?
I'll read it.
$1 from Adam Ottawa.
I'm gay and I decided to abstain from sex acts this summer.
I'm really not interested in more vaccination after what was just forced upon us for the last three years.
Right, because they are pushing a monkeypox vaccine now.
That's the answer to everything.
Yeah.
It's just a nice band-aid solution.
Yeah.
And while I was against lockdowns, so is it like, is it hypocritical to be like, well, people should abstain from orgies?
Like, I don't know.
I just think it's like when there's a virus going around, you should, if you don't want to catch that virus, you should abstain from large crowds or orgies or whatever it may be that's causing it.
So like that's very smart of you if you don't want to get a vaccine and you don't want to get monkeypox like to abstain from the thing that's probably going to cause it.
I think just the government should force that.
No, of course not.
I just think in any situation, people should be responsible.
That's it.
And that's very responsible.
That's about it.
Like that's the solution here.
Thank you for your time.
Anyway, thank you for your donation.
Do you want to read another one here?
Do you want me to read it, Alexa, or do you want to read one?
Is it long?
Oh, let's go.
Let's go, Alexa.
It's you.
