David Menzies and Tamara Ugolini expose Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s temporary YouTube censorship amid a wave of free speech attacks, including Bell Canada’s 1,300 layoffs and closure of heritage radio stations—like firing Jamil Giovanni for rejecting a "white supremacy" statement. They slam Marco Mendocino’s lies over Paul Bernardo’s transfer from max-security, linking it to broader liberal scandals, while criticizing woke school boards like Ottawa-Carleton’s forced "they/them" pronouns. Muslim parents’ protests contradict Trudeau’s far-right smear, signaling a potential electoral shift against progressive policies. Rebel News stands as the defiant alternative.

You have tuned into the daily roundup on this, a Thursday, June 15th, 2023.
I'm David Menzies and my co-host.
Well, let me tell you a little bit about my co-host.
Folks, do you know that today is Ice Cube's birthday?
And my co-host, after the show, she's going to go back to Coburg and she's going to celebrate his birthday by chilling.
See what I did there?
She is the Khaleesi of the Greater Coburg area.
She is the she-devil with a spatula.
She is Tamara Ugolini.
How you doing there, Tamara?
Oh, just feeling super chilly now.
I need to bring a spatula one day to the live stream just so I can show my flipping skills.
I bet they're excellent because you are a super mother.
We know that for certain.
And by the way, are you an Ice Cube fan?
No, no, not.
Maybe in my younger years, but no idea what Ice Cube is up to these days.
Yeah, it's not my genre.
I'll tell you, you know, but I always get Ice Cube confused with vanilla ice.
Yeah, you want to sing Ice, Ice, Baby.
Thank you.
And you must be a mind reader, Tamara Ugolini, because in the department of we only annoy the ones we love, there was a period of time in the menzoid household where for my kids, Lady Menzoid, constantly,
whenever I saw them, I would repeat what Tamara just saying, ice, ice, baby, to the point that what I love, Tamara, is, you know, Lady Menzoid's on the brink because her lower lip is vibrating like she's about to have a dirt.
But like I said, Tamara, you only annoy the ones you love.
What do you do to annoy Mr. Ugalini?
Well, I just want to say before we get into that, the Lady Menzies is the real MVP.
We always mention that in the office that Lady Menzies really took one for the team, David.
How dare you?
Mr. Well, so he, so I have a different last name than my husband.
I'm super progressive that way.
I kept my maiden name.
My dad actually had four girls.
So the last name would have died with us.
And that made me really sad.
So I decided to keep my maiden name.
What do I do?
You know what?
In some ways, it's like a double-edged sword because I think it's work.
He's like, you're always working.
You're always working.
But then also he loves what I do for work.
So I guess that's one thing that he gets a little bit annoyed with me, you know, if I'm like attached to my phone or something.
Yeah, it's a double-edged sword, though, because he obviously supports me and loves what I do.
But at the same point in time, he's like, just put it down for an hour.
Well, good for him.
Well, and I never knew you were one of them.
They're woman's libbers keeping your own.
But anyways, you know, Lady Menzoid's surname before taking mine was Hyman.
Swear to God.
Okay.
Oh, she was very happy to lose that.
Anyway, by the way, folks, if you do something to ignore, to annoy your better half, please send us a super chat.
Double Edged Sword00:03:25
We will read it out loud, won't we, Tamara?
We will.
That's right.
And you can do that.
Not on YouTube, unfortunately.
So you have to head on over to those, one of those other platforms.
Currently, we're streaming on YouTube, Rumble, Odyssey, Getter, and the purveyor of free speech these days, Twitter.
So I think it's only Rumble and Odyssey that you can do a hyper chat or a super chat.
And when you give us a small monetary donation there, it's a great way for us to engage with our viewers and get a feedback and a feel for what you'd like to see or if you want to comment on something, get our feedback or give us a tip.
We always, you know, we're viewer-led and viewer-funded.
So please send us a small little hyper chat or super chat over on one of those other platforms.
Now, before we get into some of our political discussions of the day, I wanted to let you, our viewers at home, know that we have revamped the Rebel News Store.
We have lots of really great, fun new designs there and some revamps on some old styles that were really good sellers.
So maybe we can just pull up the main page at rebelnewsstore.com.
And there, of course, as always, you can use your favorite Rebel journalist code.
So obviously that's Tamara10 to save 10% off of your order.
And we offer free global shipping.
So it's a great way for you to grab some swag, support our independent journalism, and also save 10% off your order.
There's also some new Canada Day designs.
And I think we're working on something specifically for David because he would love to see it referred back to as Dominion Day.
Well, I would, because if you call July 1st Canada Day, Tamara Uglini, you are, you know, basically being a fan of Pierre Elliott Trudeau, Blackface's Papa.
Well, allegedly, we won't get into that.
But I remember it was, I think, the last day of Parliament sitting.
I think it was the first Friday in July, either 82 or 83, with seven members less than a quorum, 13 members in the House, and seven is required for the full 20.
They assassinated a holiday that had more than a century of history, which is a lot for our young nation.
And it was despicable.
And by the way, a cautionary tale, Tamara, I went to the rules committee because I said, well, wait a minute, is Canada Day an illegal holiday?
Because there were seven members fewer than a quorum.
How could it pass?
And here is the catch.
If everyone sitting in the house is in agreement, then it goes through.
You don't need a quorum.
And sure enough, all 13 members agreed with this name change.
And maybe you don't care about the name of our holiday, but imagine if that was something way more important, right, Tamara?
One of the censorship bills.
And everybody in the house that day happened to be on side, less than the quorum, it goes through.
I think that's disgraceful.
Anyways, yeah, I'm old school, Dominion Day.
So please get a t-shirt for me on that, will you?
Well, and it goes to show that the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree when we're talking about skirting democracy.
Hey, there's a good rhyme for you.
Yeah, so there's some of our new Canada Day designs.
Mendocino's Lies Exposed00:15:51
I think we're showing them on screen right now.
There's a cute little hat, too, that it's always fun to just have these sort of like benign hats that you don't know really that it's from Rebel, but you can sport it anywhere.
Obviously get the hot sun off of your head because you'll be out there celebrating during the day for our great country of Canada, which hopefully continues to act as a democratic nation.
But under the rule of reigning Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, that seems more and more like a distant reality.
Oh boy, is it ever?
By the way, did I see a glimpse of some tank tops?
Because I don't think we have to do it.
There are some racer backs.
I can wear that to the gym.
Oh.
Tamara, do you want to film my muscles?
Photos or it didn't happen.
Yeah, there's, yeah, there's some muscles in there.
Not just Scotch Miss From.
Do we still have that Menzies shirt too, where it's like you as this ripped Mensley or something, and we Photoshop my head onto it?
Oh boy.
Anyhow, no, wonderful merchandise.
So please use your Tamara 10.
Is it Tamara 10?
Tamara 10.
And what's my promo?
Think there is one for David.
No, I'm joking.
It's David 10.
So, so please use one of those and get an extra 10% off.
How can you lose?
Speaking of losers, Marco Mendocino, just about an hour ago, gave a very brief press conference, folks.
It's about this scandal, it can't be called anything else, of having Paul Bernardo sent to a medium security prison, whereas he should be in Millhaven, maximum.
I think everybody, just about everybody, it would seem, except Corrections Canada staff, know who Paul Bernardo is.
He's a serial rapist, torturer, and murderer.
Christian French, Leslie Mohaffe, high school kids of the day, Bernardo and his evil wife, Carla Homolka, who is scot-free, by the way.
Well, way to go, Niagara Regional Police.
Next time you do a hazmat search of a house, maybe look behind the bathroom wall that would have had the incriminating videotapes, but oh well.
So they had to make that so-called deal with the devil.
Anyway, she's free and merry, but Bernardo, I would like to see rot in maximum security for the rest of his life.
And Mendocino's press conference, he was basically saying, oh, we're going to take steps to make sure this never happens again.
That, you know, this government is committed to victims.
Committed to victims and victims' families and victims' rights.
Tamara, I was just on Saturday outside the Parole Board of Canada that there was a demonstration led by Heather Mason.
Thanks to the blackface liberals, men, and I'm talking about thugs who identify as women, no surgery, no hormones.
You can now get incarcerated in a female penitentiary and you can get admission to a woman's shelter.
One such individual is this fellow.
He's doing his time at a Perry Sound woman's shelter.
He's six foot two, 230 pounds.
A few years ago, oh, well, he had a little disagreement in a McDonald's, so he dragged a 15-year-old female McDonald's employee into the bathroom and viciously assaulted her.
He says, I'm a chick now.
Okay, Bob's your uncle.
You're in.
You're telling me this government is convict is committed to victims' rights?
Because this is a misogynistic government.
If you're all about this radical transagenda when it comes to prisons and shelters, sorry, that's not inclusion and diversity.
That is misogyny, Tamara Ugolini.
And, you know, to this day, this has been the news cycle for two weeks.
We don't know why this vile serial killer, I mean, Paul Bernardo in the Canadian penile system, he's number one.
And I mean that in the reverse spectrum, that he is the most vicious, notorious psychopathic.
By the way, that's not my words, folks.
That would psychiatrists describe him.
He is without empathy.
He is without apology.
He's done nothing to merit any, you know, to even get tapioca pudding for his dessert in the prison system.
And somehow, some idiot, probably some wokester, thought that, well, in the same flavor of having vicious male thugs pretend to be females to get into women's prisons and shelters, they thought, let's show this guy, you know, a registered dangerous offender, no less, Tamara Ugolini.
Let's cut him some slack.
Oh, and by the way, if you want to know the answer, oh, we're sorry.
Privacy.
All I have to say about that, Tamara, then I want to hear what you have to say.
Public safety comes before privacy.
Secondly, what is the most fundamental human right on this planet?
It's freedom.
If you're not free, you're a slave.
We took away his freedom.
How in blue hell does this monster have the right to privacy and want privacy?
Google Paul Bernardo's name, folks.
You will receive millions of Google heads talking about his notorious history.
Everything is known about this monster except for how he gets along in prison, I suppose.
Tamara, Marco Mendocino and Blackface, they are despicable.
I mean, here's the son today, folks.
Dumb or liars.
How about option number three, dumb liars?
Right?
I think that covers it all.
Tamara, what say you?
It's just another controversy in the book of the Justin Trudeau liberals.
I mean, this is essentially the exact same playbook that has unfolded with the Chinese interference allegations: is that now they're crying, oh, well, we didn't know.
They're feigning ignorance, right?
And I suppose that ignorance is bliss, especially when you're in charge of leading a G7 nation.
But now Mendocino's office is saying that they didn't know about this transfer, so from maximum security to medium security for this horrific killer and rapist, where the jurors, even when they recount the evidence that they saw, cry and are unable to articulate and I guess understand the breadth and the magnitude of these horrific crimes that were premeditated, right?
There's no, there's no wondering whether or not Paul Bernardo and Carla Homoka were guilty of these crimes.
It is clear they are guilty.
These were planned, premeditated, absolutely horrific acts launched against minors, young schoolgirls.
And this person has been, you know, it's been stated repeatedly that they cannot be rehabilitated and should remain in maximum security because of the ability to like the crime, the criminal mind of Paul Bernardo.
And, you know, Correctional Services Canada has stated repeatedly that they sent this memo to the PMOs, to the prime minister's office, twice in March, and nothing was done.
And so the continuation of this transfer just went forward and until it actually happened and the public started with the backlash and now the mainstream media is pushing for accountability on this and questioning it.
But otherwise, it would have just continued unabated.
And then who knows what the next transfer would have been, right?
Now, will it be from medium security to low security?
Will he be gone go forward next to a healing lodge?
As we saw with what was that woman's name?
McClintick, I think.
Yeah, McClintick, who killed that innocent eight-year-old, Tori Stafford.
And again, another horrific crime.
And then the public backlash was so great that she went back to prison.
So I think that's the ideal here: the public continues to push back.
And the opposition parties, so the leader of the opposition, Pierre Polyev, has been pushing back.
And I think we have a clip here of Polyev calling for Mendocino to resign.
And I think if Mendicino resigns, hey, let's just send Trudeau with him.
Oh, beautiful.
What dreams are made out of?
Let's show this clip of Polyev calling for his resignation.
This is not the first time Mr. Mendocino has lied to Canadians.
I have a list.
You need a list because it's hard to keep track.
He lied saying that the police had asked him to bring in the Emergencies Act.
Did not.
He misled a federal judge by backdating documents.
He admitted in committee that the RCMP was using spyware to gain information on Canadians.
He lied that the Safe Third Country Agreement was working.
He claimed it was impossible to close Wroxham Road, something that has now happened.
He claimed that his amendments would not ban hunting rifles.
And then later on, he had to admit that they did ban hunting rifles and reverse those amendments.
He said that the CESIS report on Michael Chong's family being targeted by a former government did never left CESIS.
We now know that the documents went from CESIS to the Prime Minister's National Security Advisor.
He claimed there were no more Chinese-controlled police stations in Canada.
Now we know there are at least two.
And he lied about his knowledge that Paul Bernardo was being moved from a maximum security penitentiary to a medium security penitentiary, something that he has the power to stop.
So he lies and lies and lies and lies.
He lies about suspending the civil liberties of Canadians.
He lies about banning hunting rifles for law-abiding Indigenous Canadians and farmers.
He lies about Canadian parliamentarians being targeted by foreign intimidation.
And now he's lied about his knowledge and role in moving Paul Bernardo from a maximum security penitentiary to a medium security penitentiary.
These are too many lies.
It's one lie too many.
It is time for Marco Mendicino to resign.
Here, here.
You know, Tamara, I have to say there is a similarity with Marco Mendocino, rhymes with Pinocchio, by the way, and Paul Bernardo.
And by that, folks, I'm not implying or inferring that Mendocino is a serial killer, but there is psychopathic behavior here, nonviolent behavior, that is, when he can look you in the face and just tell one lie after the other, and it looks like he's being sincere and truthful.
You know, I got to be honest, Tamara, if Marco, I think Marco Mendicino was the kind of guy that would spit in your face and tell you it's raining and would do it with such sincerity, you might just believe it.
And I've got to tell you, hats off to Pierre Polyev.
He's been absolutely awesome on this file.
The other day in the House, he made the same allegations of Mendocino being a liar.
And I loved Mendocino's blowback.
He feigned anger and he dared Polyev, well, to take it outside.
And by that, Mendocino didn't mean he wanted to fight in a physical confrontation Polyev.
He wanted Polyev to say it outside the House so that there would be no parliamentary privilege.
I mean, you can basically say just about anything about any other MP in the House and you are protected from defamation, libel, slander, et cetera, under parliamentary privilege.
But that's how he was doubling down.
You know what?
I say this, Tamara.
I wish Polyev took him up on his offer because let's, in a civil suit, when it comes to the rules of disclosure, let's see what you knew and when you knew it, Mr. Pinocchio, I mean, Mendocino.
These ministers are just completely undermining the agencies tasked with upholding public safety from CSIS to CSC, the Correctional Services Canada.
I wonder what the insiders of these agencies are really saying about this government who ignores their memos highlighting and alerting the prime minister's office and his highest members of cabinet of these safety risks.
This is insanity.
I mean, every time there's a liberal scandal or a controversy, I think the same thing.
And it's just one more checker or one more domino.
When is it going to be that the dominoes finally all fall?
Well, you know, on that note, Jamara, I couldn't help but get a major chuckle two days ago.
Tamara Cherry, who is an Uber woke liberal, used to be a journalist, now runs her own PR company.
Bit of a bimbo to me, but she was explaining this.
I bet you that there are so many people at Corrections Canada that are in their 20s and they've never even heard of Paul Bernardo.
Oh, really?
So I guess anyone born after 1945, they've never heard of Hitler.
You know, Tamara, wouldn't it be great if we had some kind of a device?
You could punch keywords into it and data and prior history could come out.
Wouldn't that be amazing if some brainiac in Silicon Valley could invent such a thing?
Yeah, but then you'd have the liberals swoop in and censor it all.
That's true.
So maybe you wouldn't find those hits on your searches if we could dream up such a technology.
But have you ever heard of a more preposterous excuse to sweep this under the rug?
There's just a bunch of people at Corrections Canada that were born after the fact.
I'll tell you another reason why that's bogus, folks.
If you have somebody in maximum security and they're in solitary and that represents half of a percent of the prisoners in the Canadian penal system, wouldn't you as a Corrections Canada person be, you know what?
What did he do?
Why is he locked away?
Why doesn't he mingle with the rest of the prison population?
Of course you would.
Why wouldn't you?
In fact, I think it would be your responsibility.
So this idea that there are a bunch of Sergeant Schultz's, I know nothing, I saw nothing.
Give me a break, Tamara Cherry.
Oh, Tamara Cherry.
All right.
We have two super chats that I'll get to, and then we'll go to a quick ad break before we come back.
We have $5 from Colchester Mike.
I think I hope I pronounced that correctly.
Did you ever get your bottle of scotch, David?
Oh, Mike, please be patient.
My day in court was on Monday of this week.
I don't want to give too much away.
Just waiting on the final release to be signed.
There will be an update.
And further down the line, there's going to be a criminal update.
I kid you not.
Facebook's Arbitrary Demonetization00:11:38
But so far, it's good news that's on its way.
So stay tuned for that, Mike.
All right.
But I guess you didn't get your bottle.
Oh, no.
No bottle yet.
But justice is coming.
Let's put it this way.
I don't think I'm, you know, what is it called?
Violating the non-disclosure agreement.
Oh, okay.
But I think I can say this.
I'm getting a few bottles.
You know what I'm saying, folks?
All right.
You don't want to violate these NDAs.
We have another one from Medic Deb who gives $20 with a heart.
Thank you very much, Medic Deb.
Our hearts are also with you.
Thank you.
And Mark gives $5.
Thank you.
Happy birthday to Trump.
I didn't know that it was birthday.
Can you believe?
You know what?
I'm blaming this.
If that's true, if it's Trump's birthday, how dare they flag that it's Ice Cube's birthday and not Donald Trump's birthday?
I would have mentioned that off the hot, but you see how?
Yeah.
Even with the national what day it is calendar, oh no.
They would never put Trump on there.
Yeah, Trump, who's that?
He was some insignificant guy that hung around the White House for four years.
It looks like old Ice Cube.
It looks like it was yesterday.
Oh, so I take it back.
There we go.
Missed opportunity yesterday.
He was born June 14th, 1946.
There you go.
Today is, in fact, June 15th.
That would make him a boomer, right?
Uh-oh.
Can't have those.
Okay, let's go to a quick ad break.
Greatest show.
We'll come back in a minute.
Canadians for Truth proudly presents an evening with Sarah Palin.
Get ready for an incredible evening, Sunday, June 18th, 2023.
Former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's remarkable journey and steadfast dedication to speaking up when it's easier to stay silent are just a few of the many reasons you'll want to hear from her.
This event will be hosted by Olympians Theo Fleury and Jamie Soleil and promises to provide valuable insights, inspiration, and entertainment.
The show starts at 7 p.m. at the Gray Eagle Event Center in Calgary, Alberta.
but act now because tickets for this will not last.
All right.
In this next segment, we are going to kick off with Danielle Smith, Premier of Alberta, being censored on Facebook by Meta, the conglomerate that now owns Facebook and Instagram.
And she took to Twitter to announce it.
And I'm just going to pull up her tweet here.
We can show it on screen as well.
So yes, we have this written piece posted by our written, or one of our writers, Alex Dollywall.
And he's in Alberta and he covers Alberta politics quite closely.
But Danielle Smith took to Twitter to say big tech and government censorship is becoming a danger to free speech around the world.
Well, I guess let's not wait with bated breath for Bill C-11 to come to fruition, which will only further that censorship.
Her post says, my Facebook account has been banned from posting content for a few days as the premier of a province of 4.6 million Albertans.
If they can prevent me from communicating with you, it rings some bells as to what they did to Trump when he was deplatformed from Twitter.
Imagine what they can do to any one of us, regardless of our political leanings.
We must all stand against censorship.
And she CC's Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg.
Yeah, well, you know what?
That is a profound line, Tamara, that if the premier of a province can be censored and delisted and shadow banned, however you want to call it, then for Joe and Jane Below out there, you have zero power against these Silicon Valley censorious thugs.
Here's the question, Tamara, and please educate me because I haven't come across anything in any of the media coverage of this which states, what did Danielle Smith do to warrant such a ban, albeit temporary?
What did she say?
What did she imply?
Do you know?
No, I don't know.
And the funny thing about Facebook's flags is that they're so ambiguously worded that you may never know.
And it will be, oh, this post was flagged for hate speech or XYZ.
And you're going through it and you're wondering, well, what part of this was hate speech or if it was fact-checked by one of the liberal associated fact-checkers who actually just end up opinion-checking.
It's not really fact-checking.
So, this is another.
I always like to go back to an interview I did with lawyer Bruce Pardee on the administrative state and how these laws and legislation is being so ambiguously worded that it's open to the interpretation of the enforcer.
The laws are no longer clear, and the rules and regulations are no longer clearly marked or worded in such a way that it's easy to decipher and determine where you went wrong or what is or isn't acceptable.
And so, it's largely left open to the interpretation of whoever is tasked with enforcing said piece of ambiguously worded legislation.
And I think a lot of that ricochets down to things like the fact checkers and what gets censored or shadow banned or fully banned on certain platforms like Facebook, like Instagram.
And as we will see more and more of, in general, here in Canada, we have Bill C-11.
And then, as this article on Danielle Smith's censorship goes into Bill C-18, the Online News Act, and Alex in his article says if the controversial legislation passes through the Senate, Parliament will compel Google and Meta to pay for Canadian journalism that helps the companies generate revenue.
And that will be only government-affiliated, government-recognized companies.
So, the little guy, like us, will be squashed.
You know, Tamara, I just want to pick up on something you alluded to.
Typically, the reasons you get are safety, as though, I don't know, a live wire has fallen from the ceiling or something like that.
The other du regue response from these tech giants is the you have violated the terms and agreements of the community guidelines.
Again, a word salad that means nothing tangibly.
And let's talk about a personal anecdote as far as Rebel News goes.
A couple of years ago, folks, we got demonetized from YouTube.
And we asked why, of course, because that was some serious coin for us.
And for them, they take a 30% cut.
Oh, yeah, for doing nothing.
And we were told we violated the health and safety conditions of YouTube.
So we pursued that.
Can you send us those health and safety conditions?
And they did.
It was, I believe it was a 38-page long document.
And we got our lawyers with a fine-toothed comb to go through every single potential violation.
Give you a few examples.
You can't show parkour.
That's that French thing where you jump from building to building, right?
Because somebody might fall and die.
You can't advocate suicide.
We don't do that.
The federal government does that, actually.
But we stay away from that.
We're quite the opposite.
So at the end of the day, folks, we went back to YouTube and said, we have gone through every one of those 38 pages of the health and safety conditions.
We can see not a single instance in which we were in violation.
And their answer, Tamara Ugoini, well, you're still demonetized.
Well, you were.
Yeah.
Because we said.
We just wasted our time.
It is amazing.
This is a company, too, based in the land of the First Amendment.
This is a company, and I go back to the beginning of Google and YouTube and Twitter under the old ownership and Facebook.
Come one, come all.
It's the Wild West of free speech.
Remember that?
And what a brilliant business plan.
We're not going to pay for any content.
We're going to get it for free.
Isn't that fantastic?
And then, Tamara, they hit critical mass and then they start doing this.
You and you and you, out.
You're banished.
You are contrary to our leftist beliefs.
It is an absolute disgrace.
Well, and they update their community guidelines, for instance, YouTube at least.
I believe it's once a month.
So I think when at that time when we were flagged, you couldn't question the mask science, right?
It was masks are effective.
They stopped the spread of an invisible virus.
And if you go against that narrative, then you're compromising community standards and community safety by making these allegations that masks are harmful or whatnot.
And so I think that was a part of that process is that there were some videos there that featured, and I was trying to pull it up.
One, I featured a gentleman who was an actual, who was tasked with making mask filtration cartridges for in, I can't think of the word, radioactive nuclear, in nuclear facilities.
So like where you would actually need a filtering device.
So he was all up on the mask science.
And one of the videos I believe that was flagged in that infringement of community standards was that particular video.
But now their community standards have been updated since then.
And so now it's okay to question or share mask science.
So that video that got us flagged two years ago is okay to publish now, but we're still demonetized and risk really being deplatformed any day because it's so arbitrary.
It could be the snap of a finger.
And sorry, you're deplatformed.
I'm actually shocked that we're not.
Yeah, I think we have a love-hate relationship with YouTube right now.
We love the fact.
It's kind of like the Highway 407, the electronic toll highway in the GTA, folks.
Boy, if you want to move, you go on that highway.
Otherwise, it's a 401 and gridlock.
You better pack your lunch.
That we love.
What we hate is when the bill comes the next month and it is extortion in terms of the fees they want for that toll highway.
Same with YouTube.
We love the reach.
I think we have almost 1.6 million YouTube subscribers, Tamara, but we hate the censorious element.
We hate the fact that so much of what we want to say, we cannot say on the YouTube platform because we've already been demonetized.
CRTC Controversies00:08:43
The next hammer is deplatforming.
So, and maybe even if we behave, they're still going to do it because that's what they did to us with the demonetization, right?
Health and safety had zero to do with it.
Why don't we move on to another tech giant?
It relates because as we are targeted for, I guess, wrong think and wrong speech, our viewership only continues to grow for bringing people the truth and adversaries and contrarians who are actual experts in what they're talking about and the fields they discuss instead of kind of parroting TV doctors and TV experts.
And this comes at the same time that the mainstream media, and so this particular article comes from CBC, the holy grail of mainstream media, state-sponsored media, really.
And it turns out that Bell Canada Enterprise is laying off 1,300 people, closing foreign news bureaus, and nine radio stations across Canada.
This effectively lets go of 6% of the media division's workforce.
And so we're seeing this deeply seated distrust in the mainstream media and these conglomerates as little guys, little independent journalists doing on-the-ground boots on the ground journalism, giving a voice to real Canadians, especially those who are struggling, are doing better than ever before.
100%.
What does that tell you?
And you know what, Tamara, we have to talk about how when the CRTC, the regulator, turned a blind eye to consolidation in the Canadian radio industry, because basically you have three big players, Bell, Rogers, and Chorus.
Then you have a smattering of independents that are out there.
And some of them, contrary to conventional thinking, they're doing quite well.
It's an alternative.
But back in, I think it was 2005 when these mega mergers were allowed to happen, the CRTC and Bell and Rogers and Chorus, they all said, you know, bigger is better.
This solidifies our position in the market.
This ensures Canadian voices, you know, on Canadian airwaves, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And here we are about 18 years later.
And yeah, nine stations gone.
Some of those are heritage stations, by the way.
And 1,300 employees.
But wait a minute, I thought bigger was better.
I thought this was a good thing.
And I mean, for Bell to be doing this, I mean, they're a multi-billion dollar conglomerate, Tamara Ugolini.
But I'll tell you, what a horrible, horrible company.
I mean, to do that, you know, to basically lie to the CRTC and, of course, the naive fools that the CRTC believed that chapter and verse, to fire employees during COVID who were working remotely and only interacting with clients via Skype or Zoom and saying, either get the jab or lose your job.
And they were fired.
Jamil Giovanni, who used to be part of News Talk 1010 here in the Toronto market, they wanted him to read a statement along the lines that Canada is a white supremacy, colonialist-based country.
And Jamil Giovanni, if you know him, not that it should make a difference, but I should flag it.
He's black.
And he said, no, I'm not going to read that.
I don't believe this.
They fired him.
That's Bell Canada.
Oh, and co-owners of the Leafs, by the way, 57 years in counting for that cup, I believe.
Anyways, yeah, so a despicable, horrible company.
And they've given more fodder with this recent story.
Yeah, and the funny thing is here is that you have Unifor, Canada's one of Canada's largest unions, Uniform media director Randy Kitt stating in an interview with CBC and back to this article, that this will leave Canadians less informed.
He says that news and local news is essential to our democracy.
They won't know what's happening at City Hall.
They won't know what's happening in the halls of government.
It's like, gee, imagine that.
How out of touch are these people that they think that the average everyday Canadian really relies anymore on the mainstream media to tell them what is going on within our government and governance when they're just parroting one particular party line, one narrative, one agenda?
People aren't relying on this news for impartiality or actual reporting or news gathering anymore.
They are marking it for what it is, which is state-sponsored propaganda.
100%.
And you know what?
I wonder, Tamara Ugalini, these nine stations that are up for grabs, and some in nice markets, Calgary, Vancouver, Edmonton.
There's a list here.
I wonder what the business case is.
I mean, I'm just thinking out loud: if we were to crowdfund the idea of trying to buy a radio station, could you imagine how much the mainstream media would hate that?
And I would imagine the CRTC, instead of having Canadians gainfully employed as broadcasters, as ad salespeople, they would probably decline our ownership bid just because, well, because, you know, that, you know, due to the YouTube model.
But I wonder what the business plan is because that would drive the mainstream media crazy.
Here in the GTA, there's a wonderful independent station, Saga 960.
Shout out to Richard Serrett.
Shout out to Mark Petroni.
Tiny little station, but you are getting content you do not hear anywhere else.
I would like to see the Saga 960 model grow because, you know, as the late, great Dick Bettles used to say about so many people in mainstream media, Tamara, if these cats don't get off the air soon, I'm going to stop breathing it.
You know, I really appreciate Richard Surrett's reporting.
He's great.
But one journalist that I actually, a mainstream media journalist who's on talk radio and I listen to it coming into the city, is AM640.
And it is global news, but Alex Pearson is great.
And she was one of the first people.
Well, she was the first person that gave air time to virologist and immunologist Byron Bridel when he started alerting the public to some of the safety concerns he had with the mRNA injection.
And I thought that was really noble of her.
And I think the segment's since been pulled down and you can't find it anywhere.
It's featured in some of my reports.
So we have, it hasn't been completely memory hold, but I do appreciate her angle and the guests that she features and some of the things that she has to say.
So that's one mainstream media personal personality.
Plenty of time for Alex Pearson.
10 years ago, I don't know if you know this, Tamara Ugalini, we were colleagues at the Sun News Network.
Right.
And but you know what's so funny too is they've moved her slot from 9 till noon, which is the, when you look at News Talk 1010, CFRB, the only one there worth listening to is Jerry Agar.
Guess what?
Right of center, 9 till noon.
So basically you have to pick and choose, whereas you, you know, and I think that's intentional, right?
Because both of these radio stations are so hopelessly woke.
Pearson on 640 and, you know, Oakley is a little tamer now, but I can still listen to John Oakley and only Jerry Agar on 1010.
And the rest, you cannot listen to it.
Sad.
Well, let's read this one super chat.
Here we have from Aaron Burton32.
Thank you, Aaron.
Gives $15, says, happy Tamara Thursday.
That's right.
We had to switch.
It wasn't Tamara Tuesday this week.
It's Tamara Thursday, but we got the Tamara T in.
Sorry, David.
I'd meant to send a chat yesterday, but I didn't get the link in time.
Amazing show.
Nilly is a mental case.
Oh, my goodness.
Wasn't that wonderful?
Sherry's.
Wonderful.
And folks, if you don't know what the viewer was talking about there, and thank you very much for your contribution.
School Board Drama00:13:56
That was Sheila Gunread trying to present a petition to the Ottawa School Board, Humorless Harpy.
And, you know, it just shows you that our enemies could learn from us.
You know, yourself, Tamara, me, Sheila.
We subscribe to kill them with kindness.
So even if we go into the field and it's a hostile anti-fuck crowd or some transvestite having a mental breakdown, we don't engage in the F-bombs and the screaming.
We just respond politely because at the end of the day, when you look at it afterwards, I know what looks nice and what doesn't.
And what that trustee should have done is simply say, oh, Sheila, lovely to see you.
Here, yes, I'll take your petition, even though she in the next second throw it in the garbage, but that's beside the point.
But instead, she reacted as though nuclear waste was emanating from Sheila's eyeballs and again, making it a safety issue, locking the door, calling security.
You know, it's staggering how out of control these school board people are.
And again, at the end of the day, and I know I've said it so often, folks, but forgive me, where in blue hell is the milquetoast minister of education, Stephen Baldus-Lecchie?
When is he going to grow a sect and rein in these rogue Marxist school boards?
I don't see it happening.
And maybe, well, tomorrow I'll throw this out as a question.
Maybe Lecchi's on board.
Maybe that's how he rolls too.
Yeah, until the politics is always downstream from culture.
So until the culture starts to shift, which I think that it is, I think he'll just kind of remain in his recluse little safety political pod.
All right, so let's go to a quick ad break and we'll come back to some of the LGBTQISA plus seven.
I think you left out about at least 11 initials.
The prime minister can't even get it right.
So how can I be expected to?
Everyone, how's it going?
I just want to talk to you for just a moment.

We have a tweet from yesterday that shows some protests that were happening at the Ottawa Carleton District School Board.
Speaking of Nillie Kaplan-Mirth, who's a trustee there who is a mask-obsessed, unhinged.
I don't even, there are no nice words to describe her.
So at this particular protest was in response to a new policy being put out by the OC DSB, or maybe I had that backwards.
Anyway, probably because of people like Nillie Kaplan-Murr.
So they will now refer to all students as they them.
You can no longer be a gendered person.
You can no longer be a boy or a girl or a she or a her.
Everyone is now a they them.
Yeah.
And so parents gathered to protest this brand new policy.
And we had a write-up here by ours who was referred to as our special rebel rapporteur, Andy Lee.
And she shares in this particular article some photos of the protest.
There is some visuals of it.
But I mean, if you're a boy and you want to be referred to as a boy, then I guess it's transphobic to disavow a generalization of they them.
Yeah, not to mention grammatically incorrect.
They them is a pluralized word.
It doesn't mean a singular person.
I guess, though, maybe we're now living in Sybil Nation.
Remember Sybil?
She had 16 distinct personalities, a real cause for them back in the 70s.
Oh, by the way, it was later revealed that she was faking everything.
But never mind.
Let's put it bluntly, Tamara.
A lot of the people in this trans community, I'm sorry, I'm not saying this to be funny or malicious, but they're mentally ill.
They are mentally ill.
They need care.
They need guidance.
They don't need hormones.
They don't need their genitalia sliced and diced.
If you're really compassionate for these people, this is what you would do.
But right now in society, it is the tail wagging the dog.
It is the lunatic fringe setting the benchmarks for policy.
How many people, what is Canada, 38 million, Tamara?
Yeah.
38 million people and growing folks.
How many, what is the percent of a percent of a percent of a percent that use the pronouns they them?
And yet this moronic school board full of censorious thugs and control freaks is going to say, even if you are a she, her, or a he, him, too bad.
We're lumping you in with the lunatics.
You're all they thems.
This is unconscionable.
Well, and Trudeau, prime minister, has come out and stated that parents denouncing these kinds of policies and questioning the appropriateness of the gender ideology being taught to their students with great secrecy, that parents who are questioning this or pushing back against it are being called far right by our prime minister.
Of course, again, he's resorting to slandering and name-calling.
But there's a really good article that I was reading in the National Post and it's by Sabrina Meadow.
Mehdi.
Mehdi.
I can't remember.
If I pronounce that correctly.
I know who you're talking about.
And she says, it's not unreasonable for parents to have concerns about the sudden wave of secrecy in schools around gender identity.
And her first sentence, or her first paragraph, rather, hits it all.
She says, they say everyone has a tell.
And Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has a big one.
You know his political future is flashing before his eyes, please, dear Lord, when he starts accusing broad swaths of the Canadian population of being deplorable reactionary monsters.
100%.
And on that far-right comment, what is so perversely amusing, Tamara, is, look at those demonstrators at that school board.
It looks like they're wearing red make America great again cat.
Oh, no, actually, those are hijabs.
Those are Muslim mothers out there.
That doesn't really fit with the narrative, does it, Tamara Ugolini, that the Islamic community is a bunch of far-white, far-right white supremacists?
And this, and I spoke about this with Sheila yesterday.
Why the left is having a meltdown now is it's almost like watching a computer malfunction because of two logical arguments of equal merit and it can't make a decision.
The left is all about LGBTB, et cetera.
And they're all about Islam.
And yet these two demographics, sorry to say, They're kind of getting along right now like the Cobra and the mongoose.
And it's because of the left getting their stinky fingers into the school curriculum with all this woke nonsense, critical race theory, radical transgenderism.
That's what has energized the Muslim community.
That's what's energized the Jewish and Christian communities.
These aren't, you know, white MAGA cap wearing frat boys.
These are parents of several religious devotions that are speaking out against this, but Blackface will brand them as far-right agitators.
Isn't this unbelievable?
But really believable at this point in Trudeau's political career.
Okay, so we have one other quick topic to get through, but I think we had a super chat.
So let me just go back and read that one quickly.
Republican Roadrunner, I think is, yeah, Republican Roadrunner gives $5.
Thank you.

Tips at rebelnews.com.
All right.
And we have one more super chat from AMT60 gives $5.
Thank you.
Thank you.
David, I saw your report on the Durham District School Board because parents are not allowed in meetings.
Justin Trudeau hates Christians, but I doubt he will go after Muslims trying to protect their children from trans education.
What do you think?
Well, you know what?
He has already gone after Muslims.
Most of the parents, I would say this, 50%, I would reckon, at the last Durham District School Board protest meeting AMT 640 were Muslim parents.
And it's not, and I think the dynamic now is that Muslim voters that have traditionally voted liberal, they're leaving.
And it's because the liberal party has left them.
They've come down to a decision.
Do we go with conservative religious people, which includes so many people, Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims, Jews, Christians?
Or do we force radical transgenderism down the throats of so many Canadians?
And that's why I think this could be a deal maker in the next federal election, Tamara.
The number of Muslim voters that would have traditionally voted liberal, they're waking up.
They're smelling the coffee.
They see that those blackface liberals in Ottawa are not their friends, and they're going to bring their vote elsewhere.
This could be very significant moving forward to whenever this next federal election is.
Especially as Trudeau is mirroring them all as far right.
Oh, yeah.
When they're literally just advocating to have transparent education for their children.
Yeah, I would hate to be a liberal Muslim MP right now because I have no doubt their phones are burning up by their constituents saying, what the hell is going on?
Why all this radical transgenderism?
And listen, look what's happening south of the border.
Anheuser-Busch stock now currently at, they've lost $16.5 billion in stock value because of the Dylan Mulvaney Bud Light fiasco.
Target, a similar number in terms of their stock value, because they were selling transgender kiddie bathing suits.
Why All This Radical Transgenderism?00:05:20
People are waking and they're making it known.
You know, Tamara, the funniest story I came across, the ongoing thing of Bud Light, which is not going away, is that Anheuser-Busch can't even pay people to drink it.
And I say that because there was one market where a case, it was in the U.S., a case of Bud Light, $19.98.
And on those cases, big yellow coupon, redeem that cashier for $20, meaning you leave the story with two cents in your purse.
People still are.
Black thunder.
And even still.
Unbelievable.
So I think that is the silver lining of this, Tamara.
Well, and with that, we are out of time for our hour time slot of the live stream.
We will be back here at the same time and place tomorrow.
Maybe not us, but other rebels.
And before David does his little sign off here, we're going to leave you.
We were going to discuss Lady Gaga, who is now the new face of Pfizer's migraine drug called Nurtec.
But instead, we'll finish off and then we'll leave you with the clip of her promoting this drug.
And I wonder how many millions of dollars she was paid to do so after we sign off here.
Absolutely.
Oh my gosh, Pfizer.
Can't they just go back to or just stick to, you know, medicine that they do well, such as, don't ask me how I know this, folks, but there's a pill called Viagra.
Some male friends of mine vouch for that.
Anyway, I'm saying too much.
Yeah, folks, thank you so much for tuning in, especially those who gave us a super chat.
Thank you to our super producers, Olivia and Ephren.
Thank you, Khaleesi, coming all the way in from the mean streets of Coburg.
I always appreciate it.
They are turning pretty mean.
We usually have our Alberta team on Fridays, Adam Seuss and Sheila Gunreed.
Sheila is in transit.
I'm filling in for the Khaleesi of the Khaleesis.
Sheila Gunn Reed, I'll be with Adam tomorrow.
Can't wait to see you then.
In the meantime, as always, stay safe and stay sane.
I know what it's like to perform through pain.
If you're like me, one of the millions suffering from pain caused by migraine, NERTEC ODT may help.
It's the only medication that can treat a migraine when it strikes and prevent migraine attacks.
Treat and prevent all-in-one.
Don't take if allergic to NERTEC.
Allergic reactions can occur even days after using.
Most common side effects were nausea, indigestion, and stomach pain.
We're in this together.
Talk to a doctor about NERTTAC ODT.
