Rebel News’ Daily Roundup mocks Pierre Poilievre’s dismissal of CBC’s "dog whistle" claims, framing his carbon tax opposition and nuclear/tidal energy push as mainstream pragmatism. Sheila Gunreid contrasts him with Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, whose COVID-era vaccine passport lies and pastor arrests alienated distrustful audiences. Meanwhile, Chrystia Freeland’s staged Tourmaline Oil visit—where workers face $120B "clean economy" policies—is called out for displacing six-figure jobs while her WEF-linked advisor, Stephen Gilboe ($1.6M/year in taxpayer funds), aligns with CCP climate agendas. Maui wildfires expose Hawaii’s renewable energy shift as a liability, with grass-clearing cuts blamed for infrastructure failures mirroring California’s Newsom-era disasters, yet media still pins blame on fossil fuels. Rebel urges VPN use to fight Bill C18’s social media blackout, warning of government overreach while promoting Maui relief and questioning Trudeau’s legacy policies like the 1980 National Energy Program.

Oh, hey, good morning, good afternoon, everybody, and welcome to the Rebel News Daily Roundup.
I bet you were expecting David Menzies, but news flash.
I'm not David Menzies.
I'm Sheila Gunread, filling in for David Menzies.
And my co-host today is my friend and colleague, Drea Humphrey, whom I had the pleasure of seeing just last week in Whistler at a screening of Church Under Fire.
Drea, how's it going?
Yeah, it's going really good, and it was great to see you in person.
I think sometimes in BC, I don't get to catch up with the co-workers as much.
So that was great.
And hopefully everybody's ready for a really juicy show today.
Yeah, it's a real packed pierogi, as David Menzies might say.
So we'll get right to it.
I'm going to see how much we can get to today since I don't have David slowing me down with pop culture and anecdotes.
We'll just breeze right through it.
So this is Rebel News Daily Roundup.
It's normally hosted, as I said, by my friend, whom I poke fun at, but it's always in good nature, my friend David Menzies.
And it's where we talk about the news of the day completely unscripted.
So we'll show some video clips.
You'll get some reaction from us and hopefully we'll get some reaction from you because we are streaming on YouTube.
So there is often a vigorous chat thread happening there in the live chat.
But if you'd like to support the work that we do completely willingly out of the goodness of your own heart instead of the mandate of this state, might I consider moving over to a platform where we are monetized because YouTube demonetized us for being just a little bit too truthful during the times of COVID.
So we are monetized over on Rumble and on Odyssey.
On Rumble, you can leave us something called a Rumble rant.
On Odyssey, it's called a hyper chat.
Smear Campaigns and Expert Bias00:15:03
And that gives you your say.
It takes the show in your own direction.
I like to leave the chats until the end of the show, but I know Drea has a different recipe for how she likes to bake the cake of the daily roundup.
She likes to read them as they come in.
So we'll let her do that because she's been kind enough to co-host with me today.
And if your comment is over $5 US, usually that's when we read it on air.
But don't let that stop you because, for example, yesterday I was hosting with David.
We read some $1 chats.
We read some free chats.
So there's always an incentive to get involved in the show.
So I think that's it.
Drea, I'll let you start with this really, really incredible thing that happened yesterday in a press conference with Pierre Polyev.
Just, I've watched this like 20 times.
It's just so perfect.
I did too.
And I was grinning ear to ear.
David and I had some fun, you know, just talking about how the mainstream media has totally been slamming Pierre or trying to with this smear campaign that they all had almost the same title going around saying that he is basically peddling mainstream, in other words, what most people think, but mainstream conspiracy theories regarding the WEF.
So he just takes a journalist to town here.
Let's watch the video.
Hello, Mr. Polyev.
A number of your own comments and actions have been characterized as dog whistling to the far right.
By who?
By a number of different...
But I think it's been characterized by that way.
By who?
Are you trying to...
I need to clarify.
Sorry, I just need to clarify.
By who?
By a number of different experts and a number of experts.
Okay, well, I think it's been established that this is a concern.
Are you trying to court the far right vote?
Sorry, who are these experts?
You say that there are experts who are saying this.
Who are they?
My question is: are you trying to court?
Sorry, I am sorry.
Your question seems to be based on a false premise.
You can't even tell me who these experts are.
It sounds like it's just a CBC smear job.
Thank you.
But what about the question about whether the answer is that I have a common sense agenda to axe the carbon tax, bring home powerful paychecks, clear the way to build affordable homes to put people in housing that they can afford?
That is a common sense, mainstream Canadian agenda.
And I know that Justin Trudeau's supporters are so desperate to distract from that because his political career is falling apart.
So we're seeing an attempt here to distract and protect Justin Trudeau from his extremely unpopular carbon taxes and other failing policies.
But we won't let him or his or others distract from that reality.
So thank you.
So you're not going to be able to do that.
Next question.
That was beautiful.
And you know what the funny thing is?
You can literally find an expert to say anything, but they, even they, they couldn't find an expert to say that what you're saying is dog whistling to the far right.
Like what?
That a bunch of billionaires at the World Economic Forum are trying to control the world?
The billionaires at the World Economic Forum will tell you that.
They wrote a book about it called The Great Reset.
And it's not a conspiracy theory, but it's, you can get an expert to say that climate change is making kids fat.
I've literally seen that.
Or that climate change is the reason for everybody just having all these cardiac events two years after an untested vaccine was sort of plunked into the market.
And anyways, I probably just got dangerous by saying that.
I'm treading water with sharks when I say stuff like that.
But like you can get an expert to say that, no, no, no, that's climate change causing all the heart attacks.
And it's climate change making kids fat.
And it's climate change making kids depressed and not the standard American diet wreaking havoc on their hormones and their psyche.
You can get an expert to say literally anything if you dangle enough dough in front of them.
And even they couldn't find an expert to say what they were accusing Pierre Polyev of doing.
And, you know, like, she should have just said, it's me.
I'm the expert.
I see.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Because that's, we all know that.
We all know that, right?
I love what Menzie said about it when we laughed about the same thing.
He said, you know, it was probably some janitor whispering something in passing.
But yet, they're not even putting the experts.
And what's really sad and concerning here is that this journalist is just parroting this horrible, you know, rhetoric that's been going on through the propaganda.
And she doesn't even know who the experts are as well.
And like when you're going to go up against, well, it shouldn't be going up against.
It should just be asking a question, but it seems as though it's going up against someone like Pierre Polyev, who we've seen many times, you know, destroy Prime Minister Trudeau over and over.
You better know what you're talking about and what you're referring to.
And in the article, it wasn't just that they just claimed experts.
And you're right, absolutely.
You can find an expert to say anything without backing that up.
They also said that he is spreading debunked conspiracy theories without providing any evidence of what exactly they mean.
How was it debunked?
And so it's just such poor journalism all around.
And I think at this point, not only do they have the stake in the game for, you know, just trying to be heard, trying to survive, they have an issue with Pierre Polyev because he gets the biggest cheers when he says he's going to defund them.
So they are desperate.
It looks like it's so desperate that they're not even practicing journalism at this point to uh, smear him.
You know, I was at the Democracy FUND student journalism conference over the weekend.
Some of the brightest young minds in up and coming independent journalism were there and we had Rodney Palmer speak and he, he's great uh, former journalist, worked inside the belly of the beast at CBC and he spoke at the National Citizens Inquiry, the NCI, about just the absolute gall of the mainstream media to pretend they're unbiased on on many, many things.
And look, I don't believe that anybody is unbiased.
We all have a specific lens through which we look at the world.
I don't want to force you to pay for it using the hammer of the state.
If you like what I have to say, throw a little, a few bucks the rebels way.
If you don't great, that's okay.
A lot of my content is free, but I think that free citizens should not be forced to pay for propaganda as they are with the CBC, and I also think that for CBC to prevent present themselves as unbiased is just so dishonest um, and it's an insult to the, their readers and viewers, the few that are left.
I always lead with my chin if i'm talking about pro-life issues, pro-family issues.
I tell you exactly where i'm coming from so that you know, you know the lens through which i'm talking about these issues.
I don't hide that i'm a conservative.
I wear it on my sleeve and sometimes on my t-shirt.
Um, and Rodney, I learned a lot from him and I I like to think that I might be a bit of a veteran journalist at this point.
Um, and I learned a lot from Rodney when he said, when they say, when they make a claim in a story, stop and ask yourself, says who?
And I was like yes, what a great tip to keep in your mind when you're reading.
These experts say okay well, who's the expert?
Now let's now, let's drill down on that expert.
The expert says, and then they quote the Anti-hate Network.
And you're like oh, so the Anti-hate Network says that Pierre Polyev is dog whistling to the left.
Who funds the Anti-hate network?
Oh, Justin Trudeau.
Oh okay, so that's the circle that just.
We just closed the loop on that circle there.
So Justin Trudeau funds uh, you know, an organization to run smear jobs on his um, you know, on his political enemies, and Canadian taxpayers have to pay for it.
Now i'm just making up.
Uh, a situation here where they might have found an expert.
They didn't even go that far in these articles.
They they didn't even get that far.
They could have got, they could have got someone to say it.
They just didn't even bother to try.
And it wasn't just CBC, it was CTV, it was Global, it was all of them doing the same thing and that question is so good, says who?
But it doesn't just apply to news anymore.
We are losing questioning in general.
We see it in schools.
Critical thinking is gone.
Um, you know, people need to question who's behind this and whatnot.
And what you mentioned about everybody having a bias.
What I love about being a journalist for Rebel NEWS is we tell people straight up.
We bring you the other side of the story that the mainstream media is ignoring, right?
So we are basically filling in the gaps for the people.
We tell you right away, but we still practice good journalism when doing so.
When we show you the other side of the story, we also show you the side that's going around.
We make sure you're aware of it.
So, number one, you know what we're talking about, which is what's not happening here.
People don't know exactly what they're talking about if they did show the other side here, they would show Kraus Swab saying, uh, you know how he's penetrated such a gross way to say it our own right, And how happy he is of our prime minister and to have some billionaire or whatever, how much money.
I think he's just an entrepreneur and say that about your prime minister and your federal cabinet.
That's evidence enough.
This is not a conspiracy theory.
Yeah.
That's the thing.
Like, it just, they're just, this is a thing that normal people talk about.
It's hanging out there right in the public view.
If you wanted to see it, just because you want people to shut up about it by calling them conspiracy theorists doesn't mean that they are.
They're not alt-right lunatics when you, all you have to do is listen to these people.
And that's why Pierre Polyev is probably going to be a very successful conservative leader.
And Jason Kenney is a failed one, because if you were critical of things that he said, well, then he just labels you alt-right media, whatever that is.
By the way, is he accusing us, this Jewish owned and operated and you?
Like, I think we're a very diverse newsroom.
They tell me the right is misogynist, but women run the newsroom over at Rebel News between myself and Tamara.
Efron Monsanto, very ethnic sounding name.
He's our head of video.
And then we've got Eitan.
He's Jewish.
He's our ops manager.
Ezra's Jewish.
He owns the place.
I think we're a pretty diverse newsroom.
I'm not sure.
I mean, we could go on.
Oh, yeah, we could go on and on.
And, you know, we're not all Christian.
We're not even all the same denomination.
We've got Catholics.
We've got evangelicals.
We've got Protestants.
It doesn't matter.
Oh, yeah.
We've got atheists too who just believe in being left alone.
Alex Dollywall, our newswriter at Calgary, he's a nice Muslim guy.
He's got a really nice little Muslim wife.
I mean, like, we all just get, like, we all just get along because we all believe alone.
That's all we want.
Freedom in being left alone.
And I think other newsrooms would dream of being as diverse as we are.
I think Ezra Levant, if he ran like a independent news on the left side of the spectrum, he would be given all sorts of awards for his feminism.
We already, we covered how the CBC at the top, it was all rich white men, right?
So yeah.
Yeah.
And then Catherine Tate, the American who commutes across the border to run the network that's necessary for Canadian content.
But yeah, if Ezra were on the left, he would be getting awards for his feminism, for his uplifting of female journalists and his staunch defense of us being allowed to do our jobs in the workplace without threat of violence, which is something we experience all the time.
But he's not, so we're not.
But apparently, according to Jason Kenney, Alberta's failed premier, who couldn't even finish out one term, we are, I think he's referring to us because we were his loudest, staunchest critics, alt-right media.
And it was alt-right media that led to his downfall.
Let's play this because you should never have opened your mouth, Jason Kenny.
You should have just faded into obscurity doing whatever you're doing now.
Exactly.
And I growing up.
I think I've been credited through 25 years in elected life, 30 years in public life for being a pretty good communicator, fairly persuasive, but I found it almost impossible to persuade or even speak to some segments of the population in COVID.
And I know this is a nonpartisan series, but I'll break this down into more political terms, which is to say there are large segments of the population that have broadly come to distrust mainstream legacy media outlets.
And I think mainstream legacy media are partly, have some responsibility for this.
Okay, he's right.
And so what's happened is you've had the rise of alternative media, both on the left and the right.
And often their business model is the monetization of anger.
So I found during COVID that if I stood up at a news conference and said, folks, we're going to have to bring in some really difficult and painful restrictions because we're running out of hospital beds.
And we need to make sure that if you get into a car accident or a loved one has a heart attack, that there's a bed for them.
So we're going to have to slow a viral spread in order to preserve emergency, you know, critical health care capacity.
So if I went out and said that, a lot of people would hear it.
They may not like it, but they would understand at least what the motive was and it was necessary.
We might quibble about the policy, might quibble about the healthcare system, but they would understand what we were trying to do and why.
But I found in COVID, there was a whole segment of the population that had opted out of mainstream institutional legacy media who were only, in one case, listening to alt-right media and who just kept seeing stories about nurses doing TikTok dances in MD hospitals and that COVID was fake or massively exaggerated.
Shame and Understanding00:07:34
It was.
So those folks never heard what I had to say.
And so they thought that these restrictions were done completely arbitrarily.
They were.
For malicious reasons.
They were.
So, you know, that's an extreme example, but it's one that certainly worries me.
Wow.
Okay.
It was not me that made him lie about vaccine passports to claim he didn't know what they were and we would never have them and they would violate your privacy and your freedom.
It wasn't me that made him lie about that.
He lied and the people could not abide it.
It wasn't me that made his government go around arresting pastors in the street like they're El Chapo.
He did that.
All we did was report on it.
It wasn't me that made him go to the top of scandal plagued Sky Palace and have a drunken whiskey party with senior cabinet ministers.
I forgot.
I didn't do that.
He did it.
All we did was report on it.
While the protesters underneath Sky Palace were facing arrest for gathering at the hands of the sheriffs and the EPS, he was up on Sky Palace overlooking them with senior cabinet ministers, including Tyler Chandreaux, who lost his seat because I think in part because of this photo.
Even though Danielle Smith tried valiantly to save him by giving him a very red meat portfolio for Alberta Conservatives, take the gun file.
She tried to save him.
She couldn't even do it because there's too much stigma attached.
We didn't do that.
All we did was report in it.
The public thought he was a liar on both the left and the right.
And instead of having time to do some introspection, he can't even figure out why we elected a freedom-minded conservative woman who had been out of politics and who had, in fact, betrayed us once.
We were willing to forgive that over what Jason Kenney did.
The first thing she did was apologize for everything Jason Kenney had done to us.
She had played no part in that, but she knew that that was a thing that we needed to hear to heal us.
We forgave a betrayal that led to the NDP from her because she was not Jason Kenney.
What does that say about Jason Kenney?
You know, you worded it all so perfectly.
He is the sorest loser I think I've ever seen.
I don't know what cave he's been living in.
It's like he's been, I don't know, disheveled, growing a beard and then just thought, ah, I will just, I have the strength to attack them now and clean himself up.
But there was a couple of things that he said there that stood out to me.
He kind of caught himself when he said that he wasn't able to persuade and then he backpedaled there.
I thought that was really interesting.
It's like, should you be too stupid?
We were too stupid.
He's like, oh, I was a great communicator over 30 years, but these rubes were too stupid to be convinced by my sweet, honey, sweet words.
We're just too.
We saw through the lies.
We saw through the lies.
And then he's like, I know this is nonpartisan, but like he's just been waiting to say all this and he makes it totally nonpartisan.
But what really stands out to me the most here is another, you know, applaud for independent media.
He even said basically alternative media on the left and the right is a problem because you're right.
They are more free to go at him and government and they're less chained.
And you see that in his talk.
He pointed out the lies that he did over and over.
And I don't know how, but I actually forgot about that rooftop dining dinner, you know, while he's throwing pastors in there and throwing more pastors behind bars than any other place.
I cannot believe how narcissistic it is for him to have sat there and just been like, it's all them.
It's not me.
Wow.
Yeah.
And he spent his entire career leading up to being the premier of Alberta advocating for civil liberties in other countries.
But once it became his responsibility to protect civil liberties from the tyranny of the state, I mean, China uses public health all the time to infringe on the civil liberties of its citizens.
They did it in Hong Kong, right?
When they took over Hong Kong and cracked down on the protests there, they said it was, you know, for public safety that we have to stomp all over the rights of a free people.
And I'm sure even to this day, Jason Kenney himself cannot travel to China because of his advocacy for religious and ethnic minorities there.
Wow.
But it's real easy.
It's real easy to complain about those issues from afar.
It's real easy to point the finger from the safety of Canada.
But it's when you're, it's easy to be an advocate for civil liberties during the good times.
Yeah, when there's no persecution.
But to flip from, you know, it's the reversal of Saul to Paul.
It's like a flip to go from the defender to the persecutor.
I mean, I don't know what that is.
Is that, was it just not genuine?
Was that just the card you wanted to play at the time?
Or did something really happen to shift you and make you go down such a dark, evil path?
I think he believes these things in theory, but in practice, he just couldn't pull it off.
You couldn't do the hard things.
And a lot of people can't do the hard things.
And we saw this with the Christian churches during COVID, right?
How many pastors knew that it was the right thing to be obedient to God above the state?
But when the rubber met the road, when they were truly tested, they failed the test.
And, you know, Ezra asked one time at one of the church under fire screenings, he said, how many of them actually, actually, truly believed the things they were saying from the pulpit?
I don't know.
I mean, people, people are, people fail.
You know, that's why there are great men in history that stand out and you remember them because they are so few and far between.
And as it turns out, Jason Kenney was not one of those great men in history.
I just want to add one more thing to that because I did tell certain pastors that I knew and was like, what the heck?
Why aren't you speaking out?
And the other factor there is they cower to their board, their board members.
So it's supposed to be the pastor that's the shepherd leading the flock.
But in reality, it's more of a structured system for some.
And it's the elders and the board members, and they have to all agree, which is a whole nother issue in itself.
Yep.
Hopefully, they'll come around to the righteous way of thinking next time around.
I'm a Catholic, so we're firm believers in shame.
Shame sets people right sometimes.
So sometimes I call out the local parish priest by name at some of the church under fire screenings.
Maybe it'll get back to him.
I know what you did.
So funny.
Yeah, that's the reason the Lord gave us shame.
It's a bad feeling.
You don't like it.
Maybe next time you'll learn something.
We should hit an ad break and then we'll go on to green energy and how it doesn't work and it's bad.
And if we move towards it, we're all going to die, which is what I believe.
Have you seen our new documentary, Church Under Fire Canada's War on Christianity yet?
Green Energy Debunked00:13:23
Well, if you haven't, you have not missed your chance.
The documentary details the trials and persecutions of the pastors and congregations who stood up to the lockdowns when COVID restrictions came to their churches.
We have taken the documentary across the country to bring it to the people who lived the stories we tell inside of it.
But we're not done yet.
We've just added new showings in Alberta.
To get details and show times, please go to churchunderfiremovie.com, but I'll give you a few right now.
We've got a showing in Lethbridge on August 23rd, one in Red Deer on August 24th, Edmonton, August 25th, Mirror Alberta, that's Drive-In Movie, August 26th, and Westlock, Alberta, August 27th.
If you are someone or you know someone interested in hosting a rebel screening of Church Under Fire, you can contact us.
The information is at that same website, churchunderfiremovie.com.
All right.
ChurchunderfireMovie.com and a great exclusive merch for the movie.
It's really nice.
Like it's really nice.
You can find that at rebelnewstore.com.
You can use the coupon code Sheila10 or Drea10 to get 10% off your order and it's free global shipping.
So I already got lots of compliments on my Galatians tea, so check that one out.
But also check out the movie.
It is great.
I cried.
I think I cried five times in it.
So, but just seeing it all packaged together so beautifully.
Well done, Sheila and Kian.
Very good job.
Yeah.
Yeah, Kian did a really great job.
I was just sort of the person doing the blah blah deblah.
Kian really turned it into a cinematic masterpiece.
But the merch is gorgeous.
It's, I think, I don't, I don't like, I know it's my movie, but it's some of the nicest merch we've ever done.
And the hoodies come in new colors.
Oh, that's a new one.
I don't have that one.
I know.
Yeah, that's exciting.
We have burgundy.
We have burgundy.
It's great.
That's an olive.
Oh, you know, olive is good because you can still wear it in front of a green screen.
That's great.
I have to really consider my colors because I work in front of a green screen every day and I love green.
But sometimes I'm like, oh, did I just chroma key myself?
Like I have a tattoo that chroma keys.
So if I hold my arm up in the green of my tattoo, you can like see through my arm.
It's very creepy.
Anyway, that olive looks great.
Let's go.
I was going to say, I work in front of my lovely homeschool area.
Nice.
Which is good.
Yeah.
Nice.
Get them out of the government brainwashing factories.
Let's go to the green energy portion of the show.
We've got a video from, once again, Pierre Polyev responding to another CBC reporter.
CBC had a rough day yesterday.
Oh, it could happen to a nicer network.
So he's telling them that in addition to scrapping the carbon tax, he'll greenlight green projects.
And he fires a shot at Deputy PM Christopher Freeland, who suggested Canadians need to ride more bikes to reduce energy costs.
I am a 45-minute round trip for a jug of milk, and that is not even to town.
That's to the local convenience store up on the highway.
So I'm not sure how bike would like my milk would be sour by the time I got home.
We're going to have a 15-minute city.
Yeah, good luck.
You can't keep me.
You can't fence me.
Anyways, let's show this clip.
She doesn't work for CBC, but I do.
Carrie Campbell, thank you for taking my question.
Prince Edward Islanders are still cleaning up from post-tropical storm Fiona, and now they've been told to prepare for another very active hurricane season this year.
So if you axe the carbon tax, will you have another plan to try to reduce Canada's emissions?
And if so, what is that plan?
The plan is to, instead of bringing up the cost of traditional energy that we need, let's bring down the cost of low-carbon alternatives that are promising for the future.
Let's green light green projects like tidal wave power that was proposed for Nova Scotia that would have brought clean, renewable power from the oceans onto the grid in Atlantic Canada.
Let's speed up safe approval of nuclear power so that we can bring clean, green, emissions-free nuclear energy onto our grid.
Let's incentivize and sign off on carbon capture and storage so that our energy sector can put the carbon right back in the ground where it came from.
In other words, let's green light green projects rather than trying to raise the cost of traditional energies that are still required.
Look out at these roads here.
These people need to drive vehicles.
You're coming into Charlottetown from Cavendish.
You can't do it by transit.
You can't do it by a bicycle.
Christia Freeland came to PEI recently and said that everyone should just ride a bicycle if they're worried about a buck 86 a liter gas prices.
That's not realistic, and it does nothing for our environment.
What we need is to lower the cost of carbon-free alternatives rather than raising the cost of the energy that Canadians still require.
Thank you.
That whole question from the CBC reporter was prefaced on the idea that a carbon tax would have stopped Hurricane Fiona.
We had a carbon tax.
We literally had a carbon tax.
We had a carbon tax when Hurricane Fiona hit the East Coast.
So what do we, what would repealing a carbon tax do?
Is that like a force field around the country?
If we keep raising, we just have to raise the carbon tax until the hurricanes are like, oh, that's enough.
We'll go somewhere else now.
Bling business.
Yeah, like that.
I think that's what the question is based on.
I'm not sure, but it's really ridiculous to ask people to bike to work or a hurricane is going to get you.
Like, that's basically what CBC is saying here.
And thank goodness, Pierre Polyev said, yeah, no.
Like, sure, if green energy works and it's affordable and we don't have to subsidize it, perfect, fine, whatever.
But why are we also simultaneously disincentivizing people from using the cheap, reliable energy that we are so wealthy with right now?
And I really hope this is off topic a little bit, but I'll bring it back.
I hope his wife gives him back his glass.
I can't understand the mail house look.
Yeah, but it just needs to match his IQ.
I love that they come with him with these, you know, horrible questions.
But he doesn't just answer it in one way.
He answers it, gives like four different examples so easily.
You can tell it's not scripted.
You can tell that he knows his stuff.
And this is what I appreciate about it versus, you know, someone like Trudeau, who dances around the question, starts thanking his mom for no reason.
You know what I mean?
Like he actually has thought these things through and gives a common sense answer to it that they can try to call alt-right or something like that.
But I think even the average person who is watching this is going, you know what?
That kind of makes sense.
And I feel sorry for those who listen to this, still don't get it, and then go, I need to ride a bike now because Christoph Eyelin said I could while she's, you know, getting driven around in her SUVs and, you know, jetting off to the WEF.
Like you could hardly hear the question from the CBC reporter over the traffic in the background.
That didn't like register with anybody that we still need cars.
Yeah.
Didn't clue in.
It's like we're standing in front of a gas station and the cars, like the traffic is like very busy.
People still need vehicles to get around.
Yeah, it's ultimately just a tax grab.
And good for Pierre Polyev for calling that out, about making life more expensive for normal people who just need to drive back and forth to work.
Let's go.
He mentioned Freeland there.
Freeland, Freeland was in my neck of the woods, unfortunately, this week.
Yeah, I think she's at a tourmaline site and I've got things to say about that.
So let's go to this video of Christopher Freeland.
Claims the race to build the global clean economy is the most significant economic transformation since the Industrial Revolution.
Sounds like a great reset, but I'm reliably informed that that is a conspiracy theory.
Let's roll it.
Our economic plan is fiscally responsible and it's working.
And that's really important as we deliver major investments to build Canada's clean economy and create great middle class careers for people here in the Peace Country, across Alberta, and from coast to coast to coast.
The race to build the global clean economy is the most significant economic transformation since the Industrial Revolution.
And it is an incredible opportunity for people here in Alberta.
That's why our $120 billion clean economy plan was built with Alberta at its heart.
Yeah, I bet it was built with Alberta at its heart.
She wants to phase us out.
Like the whole point of the green, the green reset is to get rid of Alberta's power within Confederation.
We're getting a little too uppity.
And so we have to get smacked down into our place.
I'll let you, I was just making some notes about what I saw there, but you go ahead first.
I'm just saying she's speaking like a true trustee member of the WEF there, which she is, which is concerning enough.
You know, she's just pairing it, parroting out the agenda that we're seeing being pushed by these foreign bodies that have a lot to say about our country.
And you're right, she is targeting Alberta with these fluffy words.
But a big contrast again between how you see Pierre Polyev respond to something.
She's constantly checking her script back and forth, barely makes eye contact.
It's like she's not even believing what's coming out of her mouth, if you ask me when you look at it.
But it's, yeah, it's just nonsense.
So that's not a great look for tourmaline, by the way.
Tourmaline, that's the oil and gas company where she is.
And those few people who work for Tourmaline lined up like a hostage video.
Like it's a proof of life hostage video touring around.
See, that's where I work.
That's where I go to work.
That's where I work to bring you the oil to put in your SUV.
And we're going to walk over here and I'm going to show you the people that your green energy policies are going to unemploy.
They're going to go home to their crying wives and children after they get their layoff notices.
Thanks to everything that you're doing.
Let's go over here and meet the other guys you're going to lay off.
And this is the stuff that we're going to shut down.
Like not a great look for tourmaline as they stand there lined up in a proof of life hostage video while this little gargoyle says that she's going to put everybody out of work.
She's basically saying we have to transition to green.
All of this here, this amazing work that you guys are doing here at Tourmaline with your, what is it?
This is the Triassic Oil Project.
If I am right about that, I think I am.
This modern marvel of engineering and energy efficiency, we're just going to shut it all down.
We're going to do the green thing.
She's standing there saying, I'm going to unemploy all of you with our green energy policies.
Like you can, she can fancy it up with her like kindergarten teacher talk that thing that she does and shake her little head like a bobblehead all day long.
But ultimately she's saying the green transition means we're going to transition you people from six-figure jobs today to the unemployment line.
And she says it right to their faces.
Tourmaline, not a great look.
Going for the heart of Alberta with a dagger and a smile on her face, literally.
Yeah.
Anyway, I think that's it.
That's all I have to say about that.
Tourmaline, bad choice.
I get it when the deputy prime minister wants to come to your site that the big wigs, the fancy belt buckle guys in Calgary, they might say that you got to do this.
But I hope that those people there were from head office in Calgary.
They probably were not the poor workers at the tourmaline facility because that is just undignified.
Foreign Dictatorship's Influence00:12:32
If it is what you did to them.
That's all I have to say.
Well, at least you guys have some good leadership better than Kenny as all this is going down.
Can you imagine?
Yeah, I'm not sure.
I don't know if our premier actually met with Freeland while she was here.
I think it might have been very, very briefly.
Yeah, which is another handshake, a wet noodle handshake where she didn't want to hold his hands.
It was like, yeah.
Exactly.
No, I don't blame her.
Okay.
I think we need to hit an ad break.
Then we'll quickly breeze through some China stuff and then we'll talk about Maui.
We're facing an imminent threat.
A planned blackout of all news content in Canada is coming to Facebook and Instagram, threatening to silence rebel news and those who depend on us for the other side of the story.
The cause?
Well, Justin Trudeau's new censorship law, Bill C18, which demands social media companies pay news outlets for the news stories their users share on the platform.
It's a shakedown and a desperate attempt to keep the mainstream media afloat.
It seems the billions in taxpayer subsidies just aren't enough to keep the country's propagandists in business.
But Meta, Facebook's parent company, has chosen to block Canadian news content rather than comply, Rebel News included.
Many have already lost their ability to access our Facebook and Instagram pages.
The blackout will soon affect every user in Canada.
But fear not, we have had a plan to protect your access to our news content.
We've partnered with Private Internet Access, PIA, a VPN provider dedicated to safeguarding digital privacy.

Can I just add that that's way cheaper than what I paid previously for a VPN?
Like, I've got so much money.
So 83% discount.
Like it really does with everything if you get the exclusive offer work out to $2, like a month.
So do check that out.
And we've got to stay informed.
That's the most eight-year-old headshot is that guy?
I know.
This is graphic.
Look at David Menzies.
Yeah.
Ezra looks positively cherubic.
He looks like a fat baby angel.
None of us look like that anymore.
David Menzie.
You're on fire today, Sheila, with your references.
They're hilarious.
I'm concerned that we've been sucking the life out of David Menzies slowly but surely.
Anyway.
Let's go on to this quick China stuff and we'll touch on something that Brian Lily reported, but I'll tell you why.
He shouldn't get accolades for this story because anyway, I'll just get to that.
I know these things because I pay attention to this stuff.
And anyway, let's go to this video.
Once again, Pierre Polyev, very polyev-heavy show, but he had a fire day yesterday.
So, you know, when they do good things, we applaud.
When they don't, then, you know, we'll penny him.
If he doesn't, we will kenny him.
Yeah, for sure.
For sure.
Just keep doing the right thing.
And we're your biggest fans.
And if you go the wrong way, just ask Jason Kenney how the out-right media treated him.
Let's go to this clip of Pierre Polyev slamming Justin Trudeau for his admiration of the basic Chinese communist dictatorship.
That clip never gets old, does it?
Let's listen.
I think it's outrageous that Justin Trudeau has done absolutely nothing to stand up for Canada against Beijing.
Beijing interfered in two subsequent elections to help Trudeau win.
They have police stations on Canadian soil targeting Canadian citizens.
I just think it's incredible that he's done absolutely nothing to stop it.
We're demanding an immediate public inquiry and a full registry to identify and expose anyone who works for a foreign dictatorship in a paid capacity to manipulate our politics.
This is common sense.
And I think it's just incredible.
We have a prime minister who says he admires the basic Chinese communist dictatorship, who's allowing foreign police stations on our soil to intimidate our citizens.
You want to talk about extremism?
That's extreme.
It's extreme to have a prime minister who would allow a foreign dictatorship to run police stations in our country to single out and target Canadian citizens with intimidation.
That's not something that I will allow.
We will bring home control of our democracy.
I don't know what I can add to that.
I don't know what I can add to that.
And these Chinese police stations, by the way, I had no idea how easy they were to just get to.
We had, again, some, I go back to the Democracy Fund student journalism conference.
Some kids did, like, because we give them an assignment, like, do a civil liberties journalism story with a written piece and a video and comment and different elements and stuff like that.
These kids went to the Chinese police station.
And one of the kids, and they're not kids, they're like young adults, but I mean, I'm in my 40s and they're younger than my kids.
They're younger than my kid.
So they are kids to me.
And one of the groups went to one of these Chinese police stations.
And one of the girls, young ladies, is a Chinese speaker.
So she like read the signage on the door into the video.
And I felt like I was on, like, I had a very special secret tour guide to one of these Chinese police stations.
And you can just go to them.
Like, you're not even trying to hide them.
It looks like an embassy office, quite frankly, like a consular office.
Wow.
Very official.
Yeah, it's pretty, pretty freaky.
That's interesting.
I remember when the story first broke, I did try to find the ones in Vancouver and I couldn't.
And most of the ones around here, most all the news articles couldn't too.
But I'll take another look now because it would be at the very least we can expose where these are, I think, right?
Yeah.
Oh, there's a fly in here.
It's a fly season.
It's a Mike Pence spy.
Yeah.
I just wanted to land on my face and like crawl across my face as I'm talking, but they're on my lights.
They're getting one is on my light, one is on my computer screen.
It's very annoying.
Now, let's go to this Brian Lilly story.
And this Brian Lilly story seems like an exclusive.
It seems like a good one.
So I'm interested to see what you have.
Okay.
So this is true.
Stephen Gilbo, the environment minister, is he serves as an advisor to Beijing.
And it's because he sits on something called the China Council.
It's the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development.
And basically, it's just this like council of the two countries.
And they advise us on climate change issues.
And we advise them on climate change issues, which seems crazy.
And it's, he's working.
Literally, this China Council is part of the Chinese government.
We have an environment minister who is working for the Chinese government.
That's so concerning.
Okay.
But go ahead.
No, no, go on.
Go on.
Okay.
Get it out.
But here's the thing.
I know this file very well because, as you know, Catherine McKenna was my muse for a very long time.
She inspired a lot of jokes from me and a lot of nicknames.
And I thought that she was absolutely just a mental lightweight.
I was going to use a different term.
And I just thought she truly, truly doesn't understand how the other half lives.
And she was just a big fat hypocrite, too.
And so I love calling out the environmentalist policies because they're just, they never lived the way they want you to live.
No matter how many times she would photograph herself snowshoeing.
And I was like, sister, shovel your sidewalks.
Aren't you getting a ticket for that?
Like, I was like, this is a municipal bylaw infraction.
You showing me yourself snowshoeing to work.
Shovel your sidewalk, lady.
Anyway, the thing is, this China Council, Rebel News broke this story back in 2018.
So five years ago already, Catherine McKenna was co-chairing the agency set up by the Chinese Communist Party of Canada to promote China's interests, not ours.
And even worse, it's not just bad enough that we have ministers of the crown working for the Chinese state in a CCP setup organization.
But Canadian taxpayers are paying $1.6 million a year to China for the privilege of sitting on this council to help them meet their five-year plans.
Oh my gosh, we broke this story.
They're doing a horrible job because China is the worst, you know, the biggest CO2.
And this is this is like coupled with everything that Pierre Polyev just pointed out.
And then this, how is this happening from the election interference, from the police stations to this?
And we're paying, we're paying to be on it.
I did not know that part.
So you're right.
You did bring it home.
And I don't think Lily put that in the article here.
But I just want to also point out what Gabol says.
He already sets up in his comment that he makes in this, that's quoted here.
He sets up already like a shade over whoever might point out and critique him on this.
He says, maybe some political opponents will try and attack me for traveling to China amid tensions between the two countries.
So that's what he told National Observer.
And he says, I am clearly a lightning rod for some of them.
Yeah, of course.
But I think Canadians in general will understand how important it is.
We can't solve climate change.
You can't solve the international biodiversity issue without working with countries like China.
Okay, good luck.
Let's see how good you do.
We can't solve it by working with China because, according to the United Nations, China, so the world's second largest economy, sometimes it's the first, depending on how you measure it.
With this incredible amount of fossil fuel-driven industry, you know how they get away with not having to meet their climate targets?
Because according to the United Nations and the people behind these massive green wealth transfers, they are classified as a developing nation.
And so developing nations get a pass and developed nations like us, we don't.
So while we have this nation that absolutely dwarfs our economy in size and scope, we have to give them money and give them even more opportunity to develop their economies until I guess until such time as they completely, completely take over the world.
They are going to be completely unabated.
And we in the developed world, we are supposed to kneecap our economies to meet climate targets that the massive country of China with its immense population will never have to comply with.
Developed Nations' Climate Guilt00:02:27
Oh my gosh, I didn't know that.
But yeah, that would make sense on why they're using it that way.
Everything, it's like, is everything a lie?
Like, is my whole life a lie?
Yeah.
I don't know how long ago it was for you, but it wasn't that many years ago for me.
Where, of course, I didn't, you know, I didn't blindly trust the government or the news, but you know, I thought most, most of the time, it's the truth you're hearing.
And now it just really seems like the complete opposite.
Yeah, I think as an Albertan, I'm a natural skeptic of the federal government generally.
Like you're you're percolated in that soup as a young person, right?
Like I say in our movie, Ungovernable, one of my earliest memories as like a four-year-old, three-year-old, is my parents sitting at the kitchen table being absolutely just head in hands stressed about money because old man Trudeau's policies about the national energy program were putting my dad out of work and it was driving up interest rates.
My family, even though we have the family farm, so that was fine, but farm equipment is very expensive.
And my parents had just bought new farm equipment because things were going great.
And then interest rates just went right up.
There was no work for my dad.
And it was just an absolute nightmare that one of my very first memories, my parents, like wondering, what are we going to do?
And it was through no fault of their own.
Things were going good.
They were, you know, there was money to buy farm equipment.
And then they're all of a sudden there wasn't because the job that my dad had and had always had, it was just gone.
It was just gone because they were treating Alberta like a colony of the rest of the country.
And so as an Albertan, I guess that's a long way around is as an Albertan, you never trust the feds and you don't trust the mainstream media because you're like, no, actually, we, the Trudeau families, they're doing a terrible job and we don't like them here.
But then you're watching the CBC and they won't shut up about how great they are.
And that is like from the time that you can consume the news, that's what you figure out.
Or at least that was like for me and like my little bubble of people I keep around me.
Well, I was born in Alberta, but then I must have got tainted moving over to BC.
Lower mainland, lower mainland.
The Truth About Maui Wildfire00:11:46
Okay, we should hit a quit, a quick ad break and then let's go to the truth about Maui because we have two journalists on the ground in Maui, in and around the location of the wildfire there.
And however, it has been very difficult for Alexa Lavoie and Lincoln J to get any footage out to us because the absolute destruction of the local infrastructure there where the fires have happened.
So let's hit an ad break and then we'll go to that.
How in the world could such a small group of people with limited resources change world history?
But in fact, that's happening and it's the power of the truth.
The truth is like kryptonite healthcare isn't in some sense working very well.
Foster Coulson is thinking about this.
He's got a new company, an online healthcare platform called the Wellness Company.
Telehealth company called the Wellness Company.
The Wellness Company.
The most popular product is the detoxification supplement that features natokinase.
Natokinase is the only enzyme that we're aware of right now that dissolves the spike protein.
Spike protein is loaded in the body with the COVID-19 infection and definitely with the vaccines.
We've been completely accurate on the spread of the virus, early treatment on the deficiencies in hospital care.
And now the deaths that are occurring after vaccination.
This is a human outrage and it's occurring at the end of a hypodermic needle.
Isn't it interesting?
Natural substances combating this man-made disaster.
You know, our wellness company delivery came yesterday and quickly disappeared.
I think it went directly into my husband's work bag.
I don't think I'm ever going to see it again.
The elderberry vitamins, like I have to hide those from the kids because like they'll just like pop those things like crazy.
Yeah, no, and I think my daughter has become an evangelist for the spike support because so many young athletes and she's a young athlete took the vaccine just so they could play.
And now their parents are like, Are we going to have a died suddenly on our hands?
And so, you know, it's a scary thing for a lot of parents who, you know, made this decision because they wanted their child to pursue the sport that they love.
And, you know, they were forced into it by the likes of Jason Kenney, not the alt media.
And so now they've got regret and they need something that can help alleviate some of what they feel are the possible physical complications related to that decision.
So, yeah.
Never again.
Let's not forget what we let happen.
Yes.
Okay.
Let's go on to because we've got some chats we should get to, but it's the truthaboutmaui.com.
We have sent Alexa LeVois and Lincoln J to Maui.
They're going to the town of Lahaina and that's where the wildfires happened.
And it's to investigate whether or not the fire itself was a result of climate change.
Because if you ask the mainstream media in Joe Biden, that's what they say it is.
A wildfire is always climate change, even if people are charged with arson.
That's what I continue to learn every wildfire season here in Alberta.
But it seems as though this, and I should tell you, Hawaii is like a deep blue state, very Democrat.
And it seems as though, and we'll get to this in a second, that some administrative decisions were made that may have made this much, much, much worse.
But our team is on the ground there.
They're doing their best to investigate.
However, because the wildfire just ripped through this community, there's not a lot of infrastructure left.
And it has been very difficult for them to send us video, even to send pictures and tweets.
It's very difficult.
They're looking at their phones and saying, like, how we have full bars, but there's really no access to the internet whatsoever.
And so some of our reporting might be delayed on that.
But please, friends at home, know that they are working very hard in some pretty untenable conditions to get facts from on the ground.
And you can support their journalism at thetruthaboutmaui.com.
Yeah.
And just in, it looks like they did.
We did manage to get a video out.
So if you go there after this live stream, you'll be able to watch that and see what came up.
But I'm looking at the thumbnail right now.
It just looks devastating.
It's terrible.
So definitely, definitely worth the watch to see what they're up to.
And I like that they're also, there's so many, you know, theories going around and all these things that would have started the fire.
And so they're going to be graciously looking into some of those things too.
And so who better to do it than Rebel News have their boots on the ground?
And also, we're, of course, pointing out some of the charities that are there with their boots on the ground, helping people get back on their feet.
I know Red Cross is one of them, and there is another.
Again, that is all at thetruthaboutmaui.com.
Yeah, I think we've included the links to some of the local on-the-ground charities working to help people recover from this devastation.
That's on the page, the truthaboutmaui.com.
So, you know, it's just an absolute nightmare.
Now, we've got a video.
And this is one of the reasons we sent journalists there is because, you know, there's nothing that climate change can't do, apparently, according to the left.
But did climate change do this?
Not so sure.
Head of Maui's emergency management agency has zero regret for not activating the sirens during the deadly wildfire.
What on earth?
People died.
There's like 100 people dead.
What do you mean you have no regrets?
I'm not sure what this man does, but I know for sure he's a Democrat.
Let's roll this.
The sirens, as I mentioned earlier, is used primarily for tsunamis.
And that's the reason why many of them are found.
Almost all of them are found on the coastline.
The public is trained to seek higher ground in the event that the siren is sounded.
In fact, on the website of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency, the firing guideline is provided.
If you are in a low-lying area near the coastline, evacuate to high grounds, inland or vertically to the fourth floor and higher of a concrete building.
Alerts may also come in the form of a wireless emergency alert.
Had we sounded the siren that night, we're afraid that people would have gone Mauka.
And if that was the case, then they would have gone into the fire.
And so that is the reason why our protocol has been to use WEA and EAS.
By the way, I should also note that there are no sirens Mauka or on the mountainside where the fire was spreading down.
So even if we sounded the siren, it would not have saved those people on the mountainside.
Mauka.
Well, I don't know.
I get his reasoning.
I get his reasoning.
I'm not sure that's true, but I think alerting people to an emergency.
Yeah, I think alerting people to an emergency probably would have been a good first step.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The first thing is, is that true?
He said it's primarily used.
So there's some room there.
He didn't say it's always used for this purpose.
He said primarily.
So definitely it's worth looking into the new claims that he's coming out.
And, you know, he seems very cold about it when he's delivering this stuff to like sort of he's just talking about like why they stopped a sale at Save on Foods or something.
I don't know.
But yeah, definitely looking into it.
And, you know, it's also just pointing out that there should be a better system in place.
And maybe worth looking into where you live right now to see what's exactly in place.
Oh, sorry, my phone fell if a fire was to break out.
I think Alberta's system is pretty great.
We all get text messages to our phones.
We know, like, we know.
And it's because we deal with these things all the time, like all the time, every single year.
It's not climate change.
It's living in the boreal forest that does this.
But also in southern Alberta, they deal with grass fires all the time.
Those sparks can happen like that.
It comes off the train tracks or some idiot throws a butt out the window and you can, I mean, it just, it'll just tear through the prairie.
And then again, I'm where the grassland just crashes into the boreal forest.
So we deal with this stuff all the time.
But something very interesting, and I saw this this morning.
Michael Schellenberger.
So he has, I mean, he's just, he's great.
If you are not following Michael Schellenberger's work, both on Twitter or whatever we're calling it now, X, X, you're not calling it that.
I'm not.
But also his articles, like he writes for the National Post sometimes, or he freelances for them.
So anyways, Michael Schellenberger.
Many say climate change caused the deadly wild, deadly fires in Hawaii, but it didn't.
What caused the fires was Hawaiian Electric's failure to clear flammable grasses from around electric wires because its focus and ratepayer money was going to renewables.
Oh, I believe this wholeheartedly.
Between 2019 and 2022, and he brings receipts.
Between 2019 and 2022, it invested less than $245,000.
Oh, that's nothing.
On wildfire-specific projects on the island.
While there was concern for wildfire risk, politically, the focus, politically, the focus was on electricity generation.
Looking back with hindsight, the business opportunities were on the generation side, and the utility was going out for bid with all these big renewable energy projects, he said.
But in retrospect, it seems clear we weren't as focused on these fire risks as we should have been.
You think?
You think?
Same, and he points out this isn't the first time this happens in a Democrat-run state.
Same thing happened in California.
Governor Gavin Newsom, Gavin Gruesome, as I've heard him called before, pushed the utilities to spend billions on renewables and cut the budget for forest fire prevention.
The result was more forest fires.
When they were caught, they blamed climate change, of course, because that justifies your ad spend on renewal, or your, I guess, it is a green ad spend on renewables.
It justifies you shifting money that way.
And he said he's been debunking climate and fire disinformation for three years.
The media know better and they continue to lie about it.
Why everything they say about California fires, including that climate change matters most, is wrong.
In 2018, a fire ripped through the town of Paradise, California, killing 85 people.
It was the deadliest, most destructive wildfire in the state's history.
Liabilities from wildfires started by its power lines bankrupted Pacific PGE, which cut off power to nearly 1 million homes and businesses last month to prevent wind from triggering and fanning fires.
Anyways, it just goes on and on.
It's just, if you follow that thread on Twitter and he just goes and just undoes all the lies and basically says, no, these companies should have been dealing with wildfire risk, clearing things in and around the lines.
I know, I don't know if it's like in BC, but like every year, I've got the power company out trimming trees near the power lines and cutting everything back and clearing the ditches to make sure that we don't spark up.
But they weren't doing that there.
They were taking that money dedicated to maintenance and making them build solar panels and stuff like that.
Fossil Fuels' Slow Demise00:06:33
And now here we are.
Well, it definitely sounds like a follow to a good follow to have.
I'm not following him yet, so we'll do.
But I feel like climate change is going to be the new COVID, where it's like just this blanket.
It's the old COVID.
Well, it's the old COVID, but I mean, it's going to be to the point where it's like, oh, that's climate change.
You can just sort of excuse away everything of any mistake that you do.
Oh, there's not enough PPE in Canada for the healthcare workers.
Oh, that's COVID's fault.
No, you threw away millions of PPE and didn't, you know, restock them.
So it's the same kind of thing you're seeing here.
Yeah.
And you know what else?
Quit demonizing fossil fuels because you cannot fight a forest fire without fossil fuels.
You cannot evacuate people without fossil fuels and you cannot rebuild these communities without fossil fuels.
Let this be a lesson that comes from this is that the move away from fossil fuels makes people far less safe.
Yeah.
Okay, let's get into some of these chats because we're way over.
Snowy Roof gives us five bucks.
Why isn't Gilbo being charged with treason being a Canadian elected official and working for our enemy CCP?
According to the Canadian government, is the CCP our enemy?
I would suggest not.
No, it's our most admired.
It's our dictatorship in Canada.
So yeah.
I think that also moves that question.
Yeah.
I mean, Justin Trudeau doesn't think of them as our enemy strategically, politically, anything like that.
Even after they basically unleashed a virus on the world, lied about it.
Yeah, and let's not forget the two Michaels, what they did to them, too.
Yeah, and what they do to their own people.
I mean, the fact that we even have diplomatic relations with these people seems to be a little bit unjust.
We should thank Cranky Blue Noser for becoming a monthly supporter.
Thanks so much.
Thank you.
Appreciate that very much.
And Utibersey or JudiBurcy, again, I never know how to say it, gives us five bucks.
Gilm Bo might not return from China, may be locked up over there.
Does he believe they are going to listen to him?
Oh, they're going to listen to him.
Are they going to take a last to heart?
No.
Yeah, they're just going to be like, thanks.
Thanks, bearded Canadian.
Goodbye.
Thanks for the $1.6 million.
Yeah, they're not going to take him seriously.
And I think that's it.
We're all caught up.
Yeah, I think we, as we were talking there, we showed scenes from Alexa's video from Lahaina.
I think that was it.
As we were talking, we showed that.
And oh, we've got one more chat from Violet.
One more.
Vial Dong?
Okay.
It's like they made the name.
I think they made that name just so you would read it out loud.
You know what?
I just read the names.
Some of them send like affectionate messages to David Menzies just so that they can hear me struggle to read them.
10 bucks.
Thanks for providing a vital service now that mainstream media doesn't provide news anymore but sticks to manipulation and social engineering.
Well, thank you very much.
You know, I always say that.
As long as the mainstream media remains terrible and I'm confident that they will, I have job security forever.
So, you know, sometimes I don't necessarily cheer for them to write the ship.
I cheer for their slow demise, which is more of a suicide.
Anyway, I think that's it.
I think we're all caught up.
Thanks, Drea, for letting me talk too much, as I tend to do when it's on day one.
It was fun.
You had me laughing just as much as David Menzies on this one.
Well, thanks.
At least my jokes weren't perverty.
Yes, this is true.
No HR after the live stream.
I'm not sure who is HR at our company.
It's David Menzies.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Thanks to everybody who works behind the scenes in Toronto and across the country to put the show together so that it's available for our people to watch whenever they feel like or listen because this show is also available as an audio podcast.
Thanks to everybody who tuned in.
Thanks to everybody who pitched in.
Thanks to our new monthly subscriber.
Appreciate you.
Every little bit helps.
I'm not sure who's hosting the show tomorrow.
It might be me.
Let it be a surprise to everybody, including me.
You, me, everybody.
Big surprise.
We'll all find out tomorrow, just before airtime.
And as David Menzies always says, stay sane.
All right, guys.
So Alexa Lavois and I just touched down in San Francisco.
We're just on a quick layover, and then we're headed to Maui.
Now, I'm sure some of you are aware that there's been some devastating wildfires that just took place in the city of Lahaina, and it's completely devastated that city.
I just want to say that my heart goes out to anybody that is dealing with this tragedy on the ground there.
Whether you've lost your home, you've lost loved ones.
I just want to let you know that I'm thinking about you guys and my heart goes out to you guys.
Now, we've been recommended a couple charities to support.
If you have any means, please consider donating to Maui Strong Relief.
They are helping people on the ground get back on their feet.
It's going to be a long road ahead.
So Alexa Lavois and I are heading down just to talk to locals, give them a voice, and see what really happened and just let them share their story.
So we're going to be down on the ground.
Stay tuned for our coverage.
If you want to check out all of our coverage, go to our website, thetruthaboutmaui.com.
Now, like I said, please support the people on the ground, the people suffering this tragedy.
At the same time, if you'd like to support our journalism and just to help us get by with our travel costs, it's not cheap for us to make this journey, but we do it for you guys.
But we still got to cover our costs.
So that's the truthaboutmaui.com.
And that charity on the ground is Maui Strong Relief.
Alexa Lavois and I have donated.
We're supporting the people down there and we're coming to give them a voice.
