DAILY Roundup exposes Elon Musk’s BBC interviewer—caught without evidence of hate speech on Twitter despite claims—while questioning the network’s $4.7B government funding bias. Drea Humphrey and David Menzies mock Trudeau’s carbon tax as middle-class punishment, citing PRC-linked Trudeau Foundation scandals and Alberta’s pushback under Premier Danielle Smith. They also dissect York Mills’ International Day of Pink censorship, where students opposing gender ideology were locked out while "approved" drag performances entered, and the fallout from "Busty Lemieux," a shop teacher whose alleged rare condition was debunked by Rebel News footage. The episode ties these controversies to broader themes of woke marketing, economic coercion, and institutional overreach, framing resistance as essential for free speech and fiscal sanity.

That is the intellectual capital of the left today.
Give me a break.
You are now watching the daily roundup.
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
You have tuned into the daily roundup on this, a Wednesday, April 12th, 2023.
I'm David Menzies and my co-host.
Well, let me tell you a little bit about my co-host.
Do you know, folks, today is National Hamster Day?
She will not be celebrating it, but I think Richard Gere might be.
She is the she-devil with a spatula.
She is the Khaleesi of BC.
She is Drea Humphrey.
How you doing there, Drea?
I'm good, David.
How's everybody else?
And you know what?
You should be like on an alarm clock for people wake up and you can tell them what day it is.
Hamster Day, what the heck is that?
You know, you know, it's funny you say that.
Back in 1998, when it was a pleasurable place to go and visit, I went to Hong Kong in a hockey tournament, if you can imagine.
And there was this alarm clock and this, it was really elaborate.
This little thing sort of popped up like a cuckoo and it, you know, clamored its cymbals together and blew its trumpet.
And I think on about the third day, the novelty wore off and I smashed it like I was trying to press this news alarm and it ended up a 38.
I could see you being like a jack.
Oh, sorry, I cut you off, but I could see you being like a jack in the box kind of like alarm.
You just kind of pop out.
Drea, I think you have described the worst nightmare for so many people out there.
Me as a jack in the box creature.
But I got to tell you, what is the difference, by the way?
I mentioned Richard Gere.
I think he's partial to gerbils, not hamsters.
Oh, and by the way, National Gerbil Day is July 5th.
Yeah, right after the big July 4th Independence holiday.
What is the difference between a hamster or a gerbil?
Or maybe can our intelligent audience do a super chat and educate me on this National Hamster Day?
I'm not sure.
I think gerbils are bigger.
Let us know in the super chats.
And if you don't know what super chats are, they're a fun way to be a part of this live.
We do this daily, Monday to Friday, and give you the latest news.
And you can join us by doing a super chat on Rumble or on Odyssey with a donation of $5 or more.
And then we do our best to read that and hear what you guys have to say.
So you can see the info on the bottom there.
100%.
And there is always, Drea, so much to get to.
And I just got here in the nick of time.
I was out in the field this morning at York Mills Collegiate Institute in Toronto.
They were having what's called a, is it International Pink Day or yeah, International Day of Pink.
I almost misgendered the holiday.
And I don't know why, because don't we like reserve the entire month of June for the whole pride shtick?
But it was quite incredible, Drea.
I jotted down four takeaway points.
I think our Ace cameraman, Lincoln Jay, already put something up on Twitter of the madness that ensued between the peaceful demonstrators and the not so peaceful counter demonstrators.
Get a little to this, Drea.
We spoke to some students who were out outside the school.
And basically, the school was very selective of who they would let in to the demonstration.
So in other words, if you were known as someone who subscribes to there are two sexes as opposed to 128 genders and counting, you were not allowed in.
So if you're 18, you get out of the school.
If you're under 18, they locked them in classrooms, like forcible confinement.
So again, diversity is our strength, except when it comes to a diversity of opinions.
We tried to go into the school, which featured the performance of a drag queen.
Once again, Drea, drag queens being foisted on minors.
I have no issue with drag queens.
If you're at a bar and it's the age majority going in, knock yourself out.
You know, I have no problem with that.
This compulsion to get next to minors, be it schools, libraries, shopping malls, Scotiabank Arena last week at the Leafs game, this I don't understand and find disturbing.
We couldn't get into the school, Drea, but CBC, CTV, and Global were welcomed in with open arms.
Conversely, none of those mainstream media outlets went to get the real story, which was what was happening outside the school.
The demonstrators and counter demonstrators.
And my last point, and then I want to hear your opinion, because I know this is happening out in your neck of the woods in Vancouver.
Drea, why is it that transgender people and their allies who are all about love Trump's hate?
That's what they keep chanting.
Why is it that they so often at demonstrations or counter protests self-identify as violent thugs?
And why do the police turn the other cheek every time?
Because we saw one act of violence break out.
It was by, well, I mean, the guy looked homeless, but I think he's part of Antifa Light, but he was part of the counter demonstration.
You can always tell them out, by the way, Drea, they're still wearing their face diapers outside.
Like 2023 is 2020.
But I find this most puzzling that the Love Trumps hate crowd are the first ones, Drea, to throw haymakers.
Well, you're absolutely right.
Where is this not happening?
It's happening everywhere.
And at this point, it's become sort of our national religion.
That's the way it's being pushed, at least, in every nook and cranny in every institution funded by governments.
It's outrageous.
As far as your comment goes with the face diapers, I think the LGBTQ zealots, I would call them, not just the regular people in that community, but the ones going out and really pushing trans rights or else onto others and their Antifa-like allies, they found the actual purpose for the mask.
They're concealing their identity as I would if I was pushing and advocating for the sexualization of children in schools, in libraries.
You know, I would probably cover my face.
I wouldn't want that to follow me throughout.
So they found a really good purpose for those face diapers.
You know what?
That is an excellent point because I think there was, wasn't there some legislation tabled that, you know, you can't conceal your face at a demonstration?
I'm going to have to look into that.
But I'll tell you, you put a baseball cap on, sunglasses, and a face diaper, and you can be one of 100,000 people.
You are completely masked up.
But Drea, beyond that, you know, disguising your identity, I think there's another thing about the masking right now in 2023, now that we know what we know about COVID, as opposed to what we didn't know back in 2020.
And it's our beloved boss who came up with this observation first, I believe.
That is a political symbol right now.
In this day and age, if you are wearing a mask, it is saying that I am pro big government.
I am pro big lockdowns.
I am pro big penalties for those who do not obey and abide by big government mandates.
And in that regard, it's like a Muslim lady wearing a hijab, a Sikh gentleman wearing a turban, a Christian wearing a cross.
You know, I'm on team Islam, team Sikhism, team Christianity.
That's what I get the vibe of when I see these people wearing these masks.
And one last point.
It used to be the left that was so prolific back in the days of classical liberalism that they were out, you know, going back half a century or 60 years ago, demonstrating for civil rights, demonstrating against the Vietnam War.
And now this same crew, this next generation, they used to demonstrate against the man.
Now they are the security guards for the men.
Drea, what happened?
Well, classical liberals are now far right.
I think it's like 90% of people are becoming far right if you just don't agree with it.
And the masks, you're right.
There's that, the fact that people were basically told they were a hero just by putting this useless diaper on their face.
They don't want to let that go.
It was, I'm a good person, no matter how bad they are in their life, no matter how much of a coward they are.
So they get to wear that symbol and walk around with it.
But just backpedaling to the protest that you covered and this, that we're seeing this pattern happen everywhere, you're right.
It seems like even young people, I thought that they kind of wanted to sort of rebel against the system, but it seems like the young people are just so pro-government right now.
It's actually pretty concerning.
Yeah.
And I'm wondering, you know, what changed.
And maybe, Drea, much like what we saw today at York Mills Collegiate Institute, they weren't discussing the three R's at school today.
It was all about the International Day of Pink.
So I see the schools, even high schools and elementary schools, being not about education, but indoctrination.
You know, that, you know, teachers believe this and they want to, I guess, give propaganda to the new recruits, i.e. the students, the young people.
And that's why we're seeing this chasm happening in terms of, you know, what they once demonstrated against, i.e., you know, the man, big government, now they're all in.
It kind of terrifies me, Drea, because I would see some of these types being, you know, totally sympathetic with something like Bill C-11, for example, that strikes at our freedom of speech.
Yeah, you know, who knows what the outcome of this is going to be.
You have this type of stuff, the focus is away from academics.
And then you have AI creeping up where they can just write their essay in a matter of seconds as well.
So what is going to happen to the next generation?
But also it's just this division.
You talked about how the state-backed media was welcomed into the school.
And that's, I think, what is really happening.
It's this parallel, these parallel universes we live in because of where information comes from.
You have the independent media that is free to give people the other side of the story.
And then you have the state-backed that fits to this one narrative and only shows this one glimpse.
So you have kids who want to stand, who want to fight for something, thinking they're fighting hate, thinking they're standing for justice without actually having the full information.
And of course, it's all looking fun.
It's all looking exciting.
And it's not school.
It's not, you're not in class.
So why not participate?
No, you're 100% right, Drea.
And the thing is, it's kind of a, there's a preferred sense of irony because the mainstream media went into this assembly and I'm sure they're going to report.
It was a big multicolored rainbow spirit unicorn, kumbaya, love is everything, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Meanwhile, since they wouldn't come out and counter the protests and the counter-demonstration, their narrative, and I'm going to predict this because I haven't seen their coverage yet, of course, because this thing is still going on, is going to be, well, since we didn't film it, it did not happen.
You know, that is going to be the narrative.
It was this big rainbow loving at this school, and isn't this great?
And meanwhile, just beyond the walls, there's this demonstration happening and members of the spirit unicorn community throwing fists.
So, but you're, but the folks at home that only watch the mainstream media outlets, they're not going to get that side of the story, Drea, because it will not be presented to them.
No, so make sure you share our reports.
Seriously, it's so important.
Even before I was a rebel news reporter, I always made sure to share the reports, even if you get like a thumbs down or people don't answer.
If it's an important one like this, where it's so blatant that the other side of the story with this agenda that is moving so quickly, like no one had heard really about Drag Queen story times, and now it's in our schools.
Like, what's going on here?
So, where's it going to be in six months?
And by the way, since we do believe in giving the other side of the story, I would go to the counter-protesters, the antifa types, and I would ask, what brings you out and what do I get ad hominem attacks?
Caught Committing Fraud00:14:30
I don't speak to Nazis.
You're with a Nazi organization.
And, you know, you ask them, can you please give an example of what makes us Nazis?
I mean, the owner of this company, Ezra Levant, is a Jew.
That's a pretty bad Nazi if you're the Jewish faith.
My grandfather spent more than five years of his life in the Second World War fighting the Nazis.
So, you know, I don't know how we're linked with people that were hell-bent on world conquest and carrying out a genocide.
And Drea, they never have an answer, never a single example.
I mean, we're going to get to something similar with Elon Musk destroying a BBC at Turkey.
Oh, it's great.
It's great for basically saying the same thing.
Twitter's all hateful.
And Elon Musk says, example?
Nothing.
So, but we will get to that later.
Also, on the, I guess, the LGBT file, but maybe it really isn't because we have found out that the world's most infamous shop teacher, that would be Kerry Luke Lemieux, aka Kayla Lemieux, aka Busty Lemieux.
Busty Lemieux.
Always sounds like a vaudeville performer.
Remember his last on-the-record interview, Drea, was with the New York Post.
And he said, shockingly, that they're not prosthetics.
They're not props.
Those Zed-cut breasts with the always erect nipples protruding through the fabric of his skin-type blouses, they're real.
That he, you know, developed a condition.
It's a very rare condition.
So rare, Drea, that only 300 biological women have it.
And apparently, one biological male.
It makes your breasts grow large, super large, so you need surgery to reduce them.
Evidently, he's got that.
And that gave the Halton District School Board an out.
Well, you know, if he's got a disability, if he's, you know, if these are natural, what can we do?
And he also tweeted, if you go to his Twitter page, it's a descent into madness.
He's talking about he cannot wear a bra to cover up the nipples because bras are too uncomfortable for him.
I'm not making this up.
So basically the HDSB was taking the position, well, you know, telling him you're fired would, since he's a real breast, well, that would be kind of like firing, say, a disabled teacher confined to a wheelchair.
It's amazing these people.
So they've been just waiting this whole time for this excuse to just pop up, it seems.
That's right.
And so what we had to do, and it was several days and countless hours, and well, it paid off last Thursday, just on the cusp of Easter.
We caught Kayla Lemieux as Mr. Carrie look lemieu, and something was missing.
Let's roll some of that footage.
Who's here in Burlington?
And folks, I'm at the Mapleview Mall.
And this car, guess who it belongs to?
Perhaps the most notorious big-breasted shop teacher in the world.
Now, we've been staking out this teacher because you know how it was last reported that those breasts of his, those Zed cups, they're not prosthetics.
Those are natural breasts that he started developing at age 39.
Even if that is true, I still don't understand why you can't dress appropriately.
But in any event, we don't know in what persona he went to the mall as, was it as the male version of Lemieux or the female version?
But we're going to wait here.
Hey, he's got to come out sometime.
The mall closes in about two and a half hours.
And we'll be there to see if it's Mr. Miss or other Lemieux.
Stay tuned.
Where are your breasts?
Why are you dressing inappropriately in front of children?
Can you believe it, folks?
Like a cornered rat, he ran for the hills.
He didn't even have the guts to come back to his car.
He's abandoned it here.
Yeah.
Drea, so many angles to attack here.
First of all, I just want to say, in full disclosure, I never thought in my journalistic career I would ever utter the query, where are your breasts?
That's why I was laughing.
So it's one of two things, obviously.
One is that he lied.
These are not real breasts.
That's where I would bet the wrench.
Or he recently got his Zed cups amputated, in which case he made a remarkably quick recovery for such invasive surgery.
But it's really telling, isn't it, Adrea?
He suspected something was up when he saw Lincoln and I in our cars in the parking lot.
He knows he's been hunted by the New York Post in the past.
The idea that he called an Uber when his perfectly fine, functioning Mazda 3 car was right there in the lot and like a rat deserting a sinking ship got out of Dodge.
I think that tells you everything.
We caught this man in a lie.
We caught him committing fraud.
Why is he still being employed?
And by employed Drea, right now, he's being employed by the HDSB to stay home, full salary, full benefits, presumably full pension if this goes on for another 20 years.
Drea, how do you make sense of this?
Well, first off, I'm not sure if I'm more impressed with your journalism to bring people the truth here or that lightning sprint you did to catch up with him.
But, and I also want to go back to the mask thing because we've seen so many pictures of Kayla Lemieu walking around without a mask.
But notice when you have something to hide, it's the perfect excuse.
So he's disguising his face and then getting an Uber and abandoning his car here.
But you're right, you've caught him red-handed.
So it seems what is going to happen now with the school board.
And the most important question then is why is this individual dressing like this in front of kids when he doesn't dress like this on his spare time?
That is by far the most concerning thing.
That is what the parents deserve to know.
And that is what the school board needs to protect its students from.
And I should tell our viewers, Drea, I'm guest hosting for the Ezra Leven Show.
And my monologue will be on this, A, the fact that we caught him red-handed.
B, that maybe this is something the HDSB should have done, hired a private detective and catch him without his breasts, because that means you lied.
And that means dismissal with cause, you know.
But I've reached out to the HDSB and the Minister of Education, Stephen Lecchie.
Nobody's gotten back to me.
They're still protecting this person, who, by the way, in that very same New York Post article, Drea, said he's not trans.
So if their fear is that if they're harsh with them, they'll come across as transphobic.
That doesn't exist either.
But just yesterday, and it'll be part of my monologue, Drea, a viewer passed along photographs dating back to June 2017.
So almost six years ago in Burlington, there he is with the full fake Zed Cup breasts on.
And the reason why I'm pointing this out, the timeline is very important.
There are so many people online that are saying, oh, Rebel News, you're the ones being fooled.
This is the most famous prankster of all time.
He's striking out against wokeism.
No, he's not.
Look at the timeline.
You're telling me for almost six years, he's been dressing up like this, that at one point he snuck into a dance recital for little girls aged eight to 12 with those giant breasts on and it was a private recital.
No, this is someone who I think is a sexual pervert, Drea, or he has some kind of fetish because no one is carrying out a prank lasting six years to strike out against woke school boards.
Your thoughts?
Yeah, no, I couldn't agree anymore.
And it will be interesting to see if those Zed cups magically grow again overnight the next time he's spotted in public or if maybe this will be at the end of it now that he's been exposed.
But yeah, it's very concerning is all I have to say.
And I can't believe, like you said, you're running around.
Where are your breasts?
I'm sitting here scratching my head with almost every report lately.
I was really excited at the beginning of this year.
I thought, you know what?
I think I'll start reporting on AI.
And it was like, no, drag queen, drag queen.
Like this clown world is spinning so fast.
What season of clown world are we in?
And when does my character get cut, please?
I think it's clown solar system or even clown galaxy right now.
But Drea, there's one other important point to make.
And that is the lack of support for this individual from the trans community itself.
They know something doesn't smell right here.
And that something is this.
If a man was genuinely transitioning into a female, you want to blend in with the other sex, don't you?
You don't want to stand out as a grotesque caricature of the female form.
That's what he's doing.
That's part of his sick fetish.
And that's why you don't see the transgender community going to bat for him.
Indeed, I've seen comments online saying this guy set the trans movement back 20 years with this preposterous fraud.
So the point is the jig is up, I think.
It's up to the Halton District School Board and or the Ministry of Education to do the right thing and dismiss him.
He was caught in a lie and that's it.
I have no sympathy for him.
This individual should not be around young children.
But why do I get the feeling, Drea, these authorities are going to sit on their hands and do nothing.
Absolutely.
And on the note of mockery of women, we do have a live chat.
For those of you tuning in, that's a way that you can connect with us and be a part of the show on Rumble and Odyssey.
This live chat is from Courtmark Mocker, who donates $10.
Thank you very much, and says, everything is run by our courts and they are demonstrably corrupt.
How long can the court allow such mockery?
Well, you know, I'm wondering if that comment is in regard to transgenderism, because I can tell you and our viewers this, Drea, I have a monologue upcoming, which is it's an absolute scoop for this.
We were leaked information about the transgender training for the Toronto Police Service.
And basically what it boils down to is that we're all to be treated equally, except trans people must be treated more equally to use that, you know, to paraphrase the line from Animal Farm.
All animals are equal, except some animals are more equal than others.
It is truly unbelievable.
Trans supremacy.
This is what we're dealing with here, clearly.
That's why, you know, like you said, we already have Pride Month.
Now it's turning into Pride season, Trans Day.
And that's why so much of the news we're talking about is surrounding it.
You're so right.
And, you know, one of the speakers at York Mills Collegiate Institute today, Drea, was Sergeant Chevalier.
He has a training module on this Toronto Police Service, how to deal with transgender people class.
And it is like going into a descent into madness, Drea.
He speaks of he has a young nephew or niece.
I can't remember which, but he doesn't want to misgender the nephew or niece because what if the niece identifies as a nephew or the nephew identifies as a niece?
So he's come up with a made-up word that he's telling the rank and file of the Toronto Police Service to use, which is not nephew, not niece, but nibbling, you see, which sounds like a brand of licorice or a brand of canned corn, if you ask me.
Oh my goodness.
I mean, Drea, can you imagine?
Crime in this city is skyrocketing in every category.
And here, the Toronto police are being told, if you see a young person and you're not sure of their gender, call them a nibbling.
I'd probably report an officer if they called my child and I'd be like, what are you doing?
What are you saying?
Oh, my goodness.
I don't think there's going to be many officers following that.
I would hope.
I would hope there is a line at some point.
Yeah.
You know what?
Next time I'm pulled over, God forbid, for speeding or an illegal turn or what have you, I want to see if the rank and file of the Toronto Police Service are adhering to this training because what it tells them is when you ask for the driver's license, you're supposed to ask how they want how the person, in this case, the motorist identifies and what their preferred pronouns are.
Because that's this is insanity.
Bud Light's Decline00:06:50
I mean, there is a very small percentage of people who identify as trans or non-binary.
There is an even smaller amount of people who feel like their own limbs don't belong to their body.
They literally feel like they need it surgically removed.
And so are we going to adapt to anybody who has, you know, sort of this outer body experience with who they are?
Oh, I could go on.
But you know what, Drea?
I have some good news.
The last subject on our LGBT et cetera file for today is Bud Light.
Talk about not knowing your audience.
You know, hiring a transgender individual and putting his face on the cans.
I said to Sheila, I said, you know, we'll find out maybe in six months.
We'll see what this does to Bud Light's market share.
Bud Light is, by the way, the number one selling beer in America.
A couple of years ago, it overtook the previous number one, which was simply Bud Weiser.
And Drea, forget about six months.
Overnight, sales of Bud Light have crashed.
I understand Annazer Bush shares.
I hope this is accurate information, have already gone down 2.5%.
So, gee, maybe embracing this transgender spokesperson and basically vilifying and demonizing your core audience, your core consumers, maybe not such a great marketing strategy after all.
And exactly.
And most beer companies, usually their main target audience is men, masculine men like drinking beer.
And it's just, it's so out of touch.
And I think, again, it comes down to what people are fed online.
They believe this is what everybody wants.
They believe everybody is following and subscribing to this new religion.
And so their woke marketing company says, this is what we need to do.
But thankfully, the vast majority of people are, they've had enough.
And not buying something is a very easy way to take a stand for people who maybe are too scared to go on Facebook and do a post.
They just don't have to buy it.
And that's what we're seeing happening here.
Yep.
And there he is celebrating day 365 of being a woman.
It kind of looks like everything.
Yeah, it kind of looks like Joker makeup that didn't quite go right on Halloween.
But, you know, if Super Producer can find the statement by the director of marketing for Bud Light, if we could play that, we played it the other day.
The excuses.
I think let's listen to what she, oh my goodness, I hope I didn't misgender her.
Let's look at what this person had to say about this new whiz-bang marketing strategy that, well, it's crapping out big time.
Check it out.
Business woman.
I had a really clear job to do when I took over Bud Light, and it was this brand is in decline.
It's been in decline for a really long time.
And if we do not attract young drinkers to come and drink this brand, there will be no future for Bud Light.
So I had this super clear mandate.
It's like we need to evolve and elevate this incredibly iconic brand.
And my, what I brought to that was a belief in, okay, what does what do what does evolve and elevate mean?
It means inclusivity.
It means shifting the tone.
It means having a campaign that's truly inclusive and feels lighter and brighter and different and appeals to women and to men.
And representation is at sort of the heart of evolution.
You've got to see people who reflect you in the work.
And we had this hangover.
I mean, Bud Light had been kind of a brand of fratty, kind of out-of-touch humor.
And it was really important that we had.
Okay, Drea.
First things first, and I mentioned this to Sheila when we first played that sound bite of insanity.
She says, I'm a businesswoman.
My first question would be: what's a businesswoman, or what's a woman for that matter?
We have a Supreme Court justice south of the border that can't make that definition.
And then she says, a brand in decline, it's number one.
Now it's in decline.
Thanks to this businesswoman who came in and had this clear mandate to do.
Oh, now it's in decline.
You know, Bud Light is always the go-to grab.
It's a classic name.
Everybody knew it.
And now it's been rebranded.
She successfully rebranded, not by being inclusive, but by being exclusive, which is what the problem is here.
And Drea, to target the frat boys, you mean those consumers who every weekend are buying cases and cases of Budweiser products?
They're the problem.
They're your core market.
And finally, you know what I'm upset about, Drea?
I wish I could boycott Bud Light, but the fact is, I already did boycott the product just based on the merits of the product.
I would call Bud Light horse piss, but I'm fearful I'd be insulting the equine community.
So I was already boycotting it because it's a pretty damn bad beer.
But for those who like it, and maybe it's the price point, maybe it's the marketing, this piece of marketing.
Oh, like you said earlier, now we're going to see a decline.
Well, that's like me with Nike.
People are mad that Nike did a partnership with Dylan Mulvaney as well.
And I'm like, man, I already boycotted them with all this sweatshop stuff, man.
Nothing left.
Oh, my goodness.
Well, you know what, my friend, we're overdue for our first ad break.
So let's take an ad break and then we can get to Trudeau or climate or, well, Trudeau and Climate.
They're coming.
And Elon Musk, I hope.
See you on the other side, folks.
Canadians know the national anthem.
They stand in silence to remember those who died for this country.
But not every Canadian knows their rights and freedoms.
The Freedom Passport will change that.
It looks and feels like a Canadian passport, but contains the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in a portable, easy to read format.
The Freedom Passport.
Order one for yourself and for all the freedom lovers that you love at freedompassport.ca.
Concerns About Carbon Suspension00:11:02
You know, Andrea, I...
I should have brought my little freedom passport to York Mills Collegiate Institute to try to gain entry into the school.
You know, given that they have a policy, mainstream media funded by our tax dollars only get to get in.
Independent media that likes to give the other side strictly for voting.
I wonder if even my freedom passport could have worked with the Educrat thugs today, but who knows?
Well, my friend, oh my, oh my.
We were talking about Trudeau and climate, and we have a little video of Trudeau calling David Suzuki his friend.
And apparently, he gets a lot of climate advice from his friend, you know, because the world's going to end.
It was supposed to end this year, according to Greta Tunberg, five years ago, but she deleted that tweet last month, right?
Yeah.
Was that premature?
I mean, the year still has eight months to go.
You know, maybe she is right, but why don't we roll the video and we'll weigh in on the other side?
It's harder and harder to find people who are flat out denying that climate change is real.
There still are a few, many of them conservative politicians.
He throws that in.
You know, farmers seeing their fields more flooded, seeing their growing seasons affected, seeing new pests coming in because of warmer weathers.
Engineers having to build differently because the floods are getting more intense when they're building bridges.
Like the challenges and the shifting and the cost of climate change is increasingly real.
But at the same time, the opportunities as a motivator to deal with climate change are becoming more and more real as well.
We're seeing, I mean, because for a long time, people like my friend David Suzuki and others have been telling us, if we don't change our ways and protect the environment, the world's going to end.
We're all in big trouble.
And that has scared a few people into behaving better and being thoughtful, but it hasn't led to the massive shift that we need.
Because it's, you know, the tragedy of the commons.
It's like, even if I do everything I can, if they're still polluting, I'm going to hurt my own quality of life and we're still going to end up in the toilet as a planet.
So what we've had to do is change the mindset across the board.
One of the best ways of doing that is to actually put a price on pollution.
That's what we chose to do.
And it was a huge fight when we did that.
But individuals and families and companies and businesses understand that the more greenhouse gases they emit, the more there's going to be a cost associated with it.
That's incentivizing people to change.
Now, the problems with prices on pollution is so much of our society these days is grounded in things like oil and gas that emit carbon when you burn them, that it brings extra costs for families.
Yeah.
What do you think?
You know, Dreas, Blackface has done it again.
He has conflated weather and pollution with climate, which are different things.
And by the way, I don't know where the venue was, but I guarantee you, those members of the audience, they are members of a blue-collar union because Blackface, he did his Mr. Dress-Up routine again.
He got rid of his jacket.
He loosened his tie.
He gets the shirt sleeves rolled up.
Hey, I'm one of you.
You know, Drea, we are suffering right now.
Inflation is out of control.
Interest rates are soaring.
Look at the food bank usage.
It's grown exponentially.
And here's my point.
Even if you believe that putting a tax on carbon is going to save Canada or save the world, there is an out for Justin Trudeau and his liberals, and that is we are committed to the environment, but due to the harsh economic times in which so many Canadians are in, we are going to suspend the carbon tax so that you have some more money in your pocket.
That's the message that would resonate.
But no, it's all about him virtue signaling, isn't it?
It is.
And what was really concerning to me there was the talk that he's talking about, sort of the psychological spin on what he's doing there.
He's talking about, rightfully so, how some of the propaganda messages that they put out scared people into behaving well, behaving well according to whom, right?
And he says that's not good enough.
Now we have to come after everybody to, in a way, essentially force those who cannot afford these taxes to comply.
That is very concerning language coming from the leader of a so-called free nation.
And you're right, there's no focus on how much we are suffering as the individual average middle-class family and below right now.
But there's also no talk about where the actual, the main emissions are coming from in the world and what can be done about that.
And it's certainly not Canada.
Oh, 100%.
I mean, while we're being taxed for, if you look at Alberta, that is ethical oil.
I urge everyone to read the book of that very title, Ethical Oil by Ezra Levant.
We're being taxed to death.
And yet you see the likes of China adding hundreds of coal-burning plants per year in their country.
I mean, how does that make any sense?
And also the rhetoric of Trudeau, if we don't do this, we're going to end up in the toilet.
Well, Blackface won't end up in the toilet.
We know he likes to stay at $6,000 a night hotel rooms when he goes over to Europe.
So yeah, one rule for thee, one rule for me.
And another disturbing video, Drea, it's David LeMedi.
And he's so committed to his agenda when it comes to natural resources.
He might actually seize control over those upstart prairie provinces when it comes to their national resources industry.
Let's see what the justice minister has to say.
From Chief Bryan, also from Chief Don Merrickle, the point about the Natural Resources Transfer Agreement.
Chief Merkle did it indirectly.
Chief Bryan did it directly.
And you're on the record for that.
I obviously can't pronounce on that right now, but I do commit to looking at that.
It won't be uncontroversial is the only thing I would say with a bit of a smile.
Oh, a bit of a smile.
What is he?
A sadist, a masochist?
What the heck is that all about?
Like they're not even hiding their fangs anymore.
They're just like delivering it like this bit of a smile.
What a creepy thing to say.
You know, it is so typical, Dre, of this government.
First, we try to seduce you with the carrot and give the mainstream media as an example.
We're going to pay you off in the hundreds of millions, more than a billion point five for CBC, Twis Everthus.
And then for those upstarts like Rebel News and other independent media outlets, if you don't subscribe to the Sugar Daddies candy, well, then we're going to legislate you out of business with censorship bills like Bill C-11.
And what LaMedi is saying is that they could seize control over those prairie provinces that don't play nice with the federal government.
And I think that is a clear and present danger for the prairie provinces, Drea, because they tend to vote overwhelmingly conservative.
The Liberals don't care about the West.
Their voter base is the Ontario, Quebec, the Laurentian elites.
So if they did something unpopular in the prairies, well, they're not going to suffer at the ballot box for that because they're already rejected out west as it is.
Absolutely.
It looks like the leader of the opposition, Pierre Polyev, says Trudeau's justice minister.
He says what happened with the threatening to overturn the Constitution and take federal control over provincial resources.
He says, I'll never allow this attack by the costly coalition on our prairie resource workers.
I'll put Westerners in control of their resources and lives.
And of course, Premier Danielle Smith from Alberta also spoke out about it and said, obviously, that she is totally against this, that Alberta will not stand for it.
And I think Jordan Peterson even piped in on the matter and tweeted to Premier Smith saying, you know what, it's time to separate something along those lines.
I don't know if we have that handy, but this is very concerning.
It's very dictatorship.
There's the tweet there.
He says, reject, rebel, separate if necessary.
You know, you raise a good point there, Drea.
If there was to be a referendum held in Alberta, much like there were two held in Quebec in yesterday for independence, I wonder if they get the 50% plus one vote in favor of separating being their own nation.
I wonder if there is that much discontent to this federal government that uses and abuses this province so badly.
How do you think that vote would go if it were held today?
Well, I don't know if they would get what they need, but I think if things keep up in this way, it's not impossible.
Yeah, you know, and I got my journalistic start in the province of Alberta.
I enjoyed it there.
I just wish it had the weather of the glorious free state of Florida.
Then that'd be a no-brainer.
I'm packing my bags.
But when Sheila talks about getting minus 35 in the month of April, that kind of makes it a no-deal.
Fighting Hateful Content Feed00:09:19
Why don't we move on?
We talked about this very briefly.
It's Elon Musk owning big time a reporter with the BBC regarding hate speech.
Folks, you got to see this video.
It is so cringeworthy for the reporter, that is.
Total massacre.
Content you don't like or hateful.
What do you mean to describe a hateful thing?
Yeah, I mean, you know, just content that will solicit a reaction, something that may include something that is slightly racist or slightly sexist, those kinds of things.
So you think if something is slightly sexist, it should be banned?
No.
Is that what you're saying?
I'm not saying anything.
I'm just curious.
I'm trying to sign what you mean by hateful content.
And I'm asking for specific examples.
And you just said that if something is slightly sexist, that's hateful content.
Does that mean that it should be banned?
Well, you've asked me whether my feed, whether it's got less or more, I'd say it's got slightly more.
That's why I'm asking for examples.
Can you name one example?
I honestly don't need it.
Honestly, I don't.
You can't name a single example.
I'll tell you why, because I don't actually use that for you feed anymore because I just don't particularly like it.
You said a lot of people are quite similar.
I only hang on a second.
You said you've seen more hateful content, but you can't name a single example, not even one.
I'm not sure I've used that feed for the last three or four weeks.
Well, then how did you see the hateful content?
Because I've been using Twisted since you've taken over for the last six months.
Okay, so then you must have at some point seen for you hateful content.
I'm asking for one example.
Right.
You can't give a single one.
And I'm saying, then I say so that you don't know what you're talking about.
Really?
Yes, because you can't give me a single example of hateful content, not even one tweet.
And yet you claimed that the hateful content was high.
Well, that's a false.
No, what I claim was there are many organizations that say that that kind of information is on the rise.
Now, whether it has a microphone, I mean, right, and literally something like the Strategic Dialogue Institute in the UK, they will say that.
Look, people will say all sorts of nonsense.
I'm literally asking for a single example and you can't name one.
Right.
And as I already said, I don't use that feed.
But how would you know that?
I don't think this is getting any.
You literally said you experienced more hateful content and then couldn't name a single example.
Right.
And as I said, that's absurd.
I haven't actually looked at that feed.
Then how would you know if it's hateful content?
Because I'm saying that's what I saw a few weeks ago.
I can't give you an exact example.
Let's move on.
We only have a certain amount of time.
Oh.
Oh, blimey.
Love it.
Oh, Drea.
I was beginning to feel sympathy for, you know, it's kind of what we get on the field.
Oh, go ahead.
No, I was just saying, I don't.
Go on.
Oh, yes.
What am I saying?
I'm back to my usual cynical self, though.
But as I said earlier, when we went to that, you know, the pro-drag queen demonstrators and they're calling us Nazis.
They're calling us homophobes.
I go, well, give us an example.
Oh, there are too many to choose from.
Oh, no, like Elon Musk, just one.
One.
Oh, there's, it's impossible.
You know, never go into an interview.
You know, I'm telling this to all the future journalists out there, making an accusation without having the background facts to back up that accusation, as that reporter failed to do.
I mean, what are we to take from that?
He says there's more hate on Twitter, but he hasn't been reading his Twitter feed.
So, Drea, is he a telepath?
He's picking up the hate without logging on to Twitter.
What a car accident.
Oh, it was so brutal.
It was hard to see.
If you didn't know who these people were, you would think that Elon Musk was the journalist in that little bit.
You're right.
And the inability to define hate is also similar of the inability to define what a woman is.
They're so used to throwing these things out that they hear over and over and over that they think that they don't have to define them or understand what they are anymore.
And when they get cornered, they can't even narrow it down and do it.
And you're right, as a journalist, if you're going to bring anything up, even if it's not even an accusation, you need to know what you're talking about.
If you can't give one example, he keeps saying, well, oh, I'm not using it anymore after throwing it out there.
Well, it's your job if you're going to do this interview to use it and see for yourself what you're about to talk to this person about.
And oh, Elon Musk did such a good job slaughtering him.
And he didn't even come off awkward.
A lot of times he comes off awkward.
He just smoothly massacred that journalist.
Oh, he was a surgeon in that clip.
And you got to ask, what was the unspoken strategy of that BBC journalist to paint Elon Musk as allowing hate to flourish on Twitter?
Could it be because, as I understand it, unless it's been done already, isn't the BBC going to be described on Twitter as government-funded media?
I believe they're talking about that for the CBC.
And I understand, I believe the BBC per year in American dollars, they get something like 4.7 billion.
I mean, they make the CBC look like a Sally Ann operation, for goodness sakes.
So do you think, Drea, maybe that was why they were on the attack?
They're so offended for Elon Musk telling the truth because I'm sorry, if you're getting over $4 billion U.S. a year to fund your media platform, you are government-funded, period.
Period is right.
And yes, I'm sure a lot of outlets' heads are popping over the matter.
But I am surprised that they actually aired that.
So I'll give them some credit for not cutting that part out.
I'm sure maybe Elon was recording in the back.
You never know.
But the fact that they aired it just shows how ridiculous.
And yeah, I think it's great that Twitter's doing it.
Feel free to put independent media on Rebel News if you'd like.
But it's about time that people really notice that distinction because long gone are the days where you can just go, okay, it's mainstream media.
They're doing everything they can to make sure they communicate both sides of the story to the public.
You know what?
You make a great point that they aired that train wreck.
And I don't know.
I'm just asking, was this perhaps a live interview?
So there was no choice of it going out there and somebody recording it?
Because you're right.
If I'm the BBC, that footage is, as they say in Hollywood, it's ending up on the cutting room floor because that was so disturbing to see.
I mean, I'm squirming watching this reporter trying to make his point.
And like you said, it was Elon Musk, Drea, that was coming across as the veteran reporter in that clip.
Yeah, exactly.
Oh, my goodness.
We are shortly running out of time, but do we have any more super chats before I get to what might be a live update?
Sure, we do.
Yeah, we have one more from Aaron Burton, 32, who donates $10.
Thank you very much.
Says, congrats on finally catching Busty.
I can't believe it deserted its car.
I think all of the wacko trans people should use pronouns it and that.
Well, I don't necessarily agree with that, but I have heard that some of them are starting to use pronouns it and that, which seems awfully degrading.
You know what?
Maybe, Drea, we should just use the term humanoid because we are of a humanoid shape and that, you know, gender identity and sexual orientation are not part of the humanoid description.
Maybe that's what we should go for for non-offensive speech.
I can tell you, sometimes when I'm dealing with transgendered individuals, and I'm not making a joke, Drea, I swear to God, I can't tell if they're male or female or identifying as male or female.
So instead of getting the interview off on the wrong foot with saying sir or ma'am and misidentifying them, I just say, well, my friend, what brings you out to this friend?
Oh, God.
It's a skill.
It is a skill to practice journalism, standing in truth and reality, but also not misgendering.
Trust me, it's a very difficult thing, as you know.
It truly is, because we know from experience, it does not take a lot to trigger these folks.
Folks, there's another non-gender nonsense.
There you go.
Because don't ever say you guys.
Evidently, that is highly offensive.
Emerging Trudeau Foundation Scandal00:07:31
Oh my gosh.
And that I say you guys all the time.
It drives my colleague Tamara Ugolini crazy.
She doesn't like that.
I say you guys.
It's like, it's just me.
So I say it.
Oh, my gosh.
And I'm going to just check with super producer Olivia.
Do we have a live update regarding the WhistleStop Cafe disclosure?
Okay, we do not.
Okay, then.
And I believe that is, is that Ezra's assignment or Sheila's?
Oh, both together.
So, folks, keep your eyes tuned to the Whistle Stop Cafe there in court in Red Deer.
Apparently, the public health units have vendetta against those businesses that dared to defy their authority and open up.
And it's despicable.
And we're keeping a close eye on this.
We've got our top talent there with Ezra and Sheila.
So keep your eyes peeled for that.
I guess we have time for one other subject.
I'm looking over the list so much here.
Oh, Sam Cooper reports.
This is interesting, Drea.
More emerging on the upheaval at the Trudeau Foundation.
La Press is citing sources alleging conflict of interest and lack of transparency from foundation members that accepted massive PRC-linked checks.
Now it turns out the name on it does not look legitimate.
Drea, this is just getting worse and worse.
Oh, it is to no surprise.
Yes, Sam Cooper has quoted here from the La Press says, the reason given by the foundation in the official press release released on Tuesday, the politicization of this donation from China is a bunch of lies.
One of the resigning board members told La Press.
So it looks as though I'm trying to find where it says it, but you're right.
There's no name attached to who the donation was made out to, if I'm correct here.
Here it says the true donor in quotation marks, the name did not appear anywhere in the foundation's books.
Such reimbursement would therefore have been unlawful.
So I guess they weren't able to do the reimbursement because there's no name and they couldn't find the name.
It's all new.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe there's new board of directors, the ones that they're asking for information.
I'm probably brutally, okay, I'll read it.
So eight members of the board of directors who were not on it at the time of the donation was made to the foundation, then called for an independent investigation to be carried out.
They also asked the members of the board of directors who sat on the foundation at the time to recuse themselves from any discussion on the subject since they were in obvious conflict of interest.
And then a little further down, it says, there are people at the foundation who have been around too long and have become way too involved.
An independent investigation would have determined who the donor was if there were any conditions attached to those sums.
So basically, it just seems like it's been covered up completely.
And, you know, so Drea, the question is, much like the Chinese interference story that is thankfully not going away, but it seems to be not on the front burner these days.
I don't know why.
It's an attack on our democracy.
And it's this, when it comes to Blackface, when did he know about the interference?
That's the first question.
And number two is, were you complicit in the interference?
And those questions could be applied to the Pierre Trudeau Foundation as well.
This pantomime that he's doing, oh, you know, it's just this organization.
I have nothing to do with it, even though friends and family members are on the board and interact with the Trudeau Foundation.
Are you kidding me?
And again, I mean, this should really be a much bigger story than it is, Drea.
What if this foundation was called the Stephen Harper Foundation and we found these links to communist China and these massive donations and signatures that look to be, what are you called again?
When you fake a signature?
Fraudulent.
Fraudulent.
Thank you.
But they clearly do not follow any of the rules.
It's like Marco Pinocchio, I mean, Mendocino, when he backdated a contract months ago.
I thought that was a huge scandal.
Virtually no press.
We know as journalists covering Trudeau that when his office sends out a press release, they are obligated, unless it's a private retreat day, to say where the venue is.
And they don't say.
They say the city and the time, but not the venue.
That is a clear violation of the Ethics Act.
And they don't care.
They routinely do this.
And the only reason, Drea, we know is they don't want anti-Trudeau protesters to show up and ruin the photo up.
They want us there to ask a question.
And to think in 2015, Blackface promised that this was going to be the most transparent government in Canadian history.
Oh, my goodness.
It's the precise opposite, isn't it?
Oh, and it's how many scandals does it take to get a prime minister out of the office?
How many?
This is ridiculous.
People are all focused on Trump and what he did, God knows when.
And it's like we have Trudeau walking around doing his, you know, queen wave to people.
You know what?
We do have one more super chat before we end.
Okay, then.
It's from I.M. Bruski.
Familiar name.
Thank you very much.
Donates $5 and says, Trudeau thinks credit cards are great as he recommends.
So I think that this was one we missed from last week or yesterday, sorry.
So maybe you understand what that's referring to.
Trudeau thinks credit cards are great as he recommends.
Well, I don't know about that, but maybe I think Christia Freeland, the Minister of Finance, if those amongst us are whining about the carbon tax going up again, she gave us the recipe to balance the books, namely cancel your Disney Plus subscription like she did.
You know what?
And I bet she didn't.
I have no proof, but I bet she did.
Our kids are old.
Our kids are old.
That's why she's canceling it.
They don't even watch it anymore.
You know, there comes an age where you're like, ah, this isn't my thing anymore.
And she's like, this is the sacrifice I've got.
Yeah, right again, Drea.
Well, listen, I see we're a few minutes past the hour, so we got to wrap it up here.
So thank you so much, Drea, for jumping in today and to super producer Olivia and to everyone that tuned in, especially those amongst you who gave a super chat.
Wrapping Up Firearms Debate00:01:50
Greatly appreciated.
Oh, save by the bell.
We have one more chat.
We'll always make time for that.
From Brett Valle51, thank you very much for your $5 donation.
Says, Trudode, or maybe that's supposed to be Trude Dope, needs a high school lesson.
Trees live on CO2.
Get rid of the C2 and everything dies.
It will certainly be extremely hard to grow food.
Well, Drea, this is the same prime minister who once infamously said the budget will balance itself, quote, end quote.
I'm not making this up.
I still, to this day, it's we're what, six years later?
What did he mean by that?
It just sounds good.
It just rolls out.
It sounds idiotic to me.
So I guess if the shoe fits, right?
Okay, well, folks, we got to wrap it there.
I will be back here tomorrow at 1 o'clock Eastern Standard Time, likely with either Sheila or Tamara.
And in the meantime, as always, stay safe and stay sane.
Hi, everyone.
Why should you join Canada's National Firearms Association?
We currently have one of the most aggressively anti-firearm governments in our nation's history, promoting fear and placing blame like never before.
Our rights, freedoms, culture, and heritage, it's all on the line.
But we are fighting back, and there is strength in numbers.
We work within the law to change the law, to defend competitors, hunters, collectors, and other law-abiding firearms owners.
