Rebel News’ David Menzies and Sheila Gunreed mock National Cheeseburger Day’s U.S.-Canadian price gap, then pivot to their live-streamed show—unfunded by Trudeau—where they confront globalist progressives like Jacinda Ardern (who dodged fossil fuel travel questions) and Chrystia Freeland (accused of ignoring feminist hypocrisy after a staffer blocked Alexa Lavois). They cite 2018’s UN Climate Conference, where Gunreed was banned for 45 minutes after questioning an Indigenous chief’s funding, exposing the summit’s performative climate activism. Menzies warns Trudeau’s proposed grocery tax will inflate costs while praising Loblaws’ $14M government grants, framing it as a clash between parental rights and activist-driven unions pushing "Marxist gender ideology." The episode ends with calls to donate to journalist defense funds and bypass censorship via PIA VPN, amid fears of union-Antifa disruptions at protests. [Automatically generated summary]
Welcome to the daily roundup on this, a Monday, September 18th, 2023.
I'm David Menzies and my co-host.
Well, let me tell you a little bit about my co-host.
Do you know, folks, today is National Cheeseburger Day.
And my co-host was going to begin the show by eating a cheeseburger right on air, but she decided that idea might be a little too cheesy.
Anyway, she is the she-devil with a sword.
She is the Khaleesi of Northern Alberta.
She is my beloved friend, Sheila Gunreed.
How you doing there, Sheila?
I'm great.
I didn't know that cheeseburgers were an option to eat on air.
I sort of sneak my little snacks in between when we're showing video clips.
But if I can discover full cheeseburger on air, that sounds great.
I don't, reminds me of the time that Ezra was on InfoWars with Alex Jones.
Oh, yes.
And while Ezra was talking, Alex Jones inhaled a UFO flying saucer-sized burger.
And you just saw him sort of get the bag and then Ezra talks.
And then you see like it's almost all gone, like moments later.
And then Ezra talks some more and then they come back and then it's completely gone.
And nobody noticed it for years.
I was like, did anybody else see Alex Jones just inhale a burger while he was on air with Ezra?
But yeah, that's my favorite burger eating incident on air.
Probably the only one actually that I can recall.
You know, that is a true talent.
But I think what we have to do for next year, Sheila, I noticed the wordage is National Cheeseburger Day.
And super producer Efren informed me that unlike U.S. fast food restaurants like Wendy's and McDonald's, where they're discounting the cheeseburger today south of the border, here it's business as usual in Canada.
So maybe we need to start a petition to make it International Cheeseburger Day because I really feel like I'm getting ripped off that there's absolutely no significance to this day by the likes of McDonald's and Wendy's and Burger King in Canada.
That's just a darn shame, wouldn't you say, Sheila?
It's National First Love Day also, which I believe is probably a cheeseburger for you, given how much you keep talking about it.
Hug a greeting card writer day.
Tough Slug With The Internet00:15:43
Okay.
That must be a tough slug these days with the internet.
Greeting cards, I imagine, is a bit of a sunset industry, isn't it, Sheila?
I mean, aren't a lot of people outsourcing their greeting cards to, you know, the electronic sphere?
Yeah.
And, you know, people like you sort of make greeting cards painful to receive because you circle the price tag at the back to show just how much effort you've put into all of this.
And, you know, as much as I love Dollarama, recently Lady Menzori and I celebrated our blank anniversary.
And I went to Dollarama to look for the $1 card, which has $4.50 or $5.99 printed on the back.
And Sheila, I have bad news to report.
Every card, at least in the anniversary category, said $1 on the back, meaning the actual price I paid for it.
Shame on you, Dollarama.
You made me look like a Cheapskate this year.
We all know you're a cheapskate.
I think a woman's been married to you for decades and she doesn't know that you're a painful, painful cheapskate.
Anyway, we should tell everybody what we're doing here today.
David and I just spent two weeks together in the Holy Land and we're back at it.
Reunited and it feels so good, as I frequently say, the band's back together.
This is the Rebel News daily live stream.
It's normally hosted by my friend David Menzies, as is the case today, and a rotating cast of characters, including myself as co-host.
Excuse me, I'm putting my watch on.
And this is a great way for us to interact with each other, as though I didn't get enough David over the last two weeks, but also interact with you at home.
And it helps us actually democratize the show experience.
Let me explain that to you.
So you can watch us on the censorship platform of YouTube if you're still over there.
We have roughly 1.5 million YouTube subscribers.
That's a lot of eyeballs.
We don't want to abandon you, even though you are watching us on, as I said, a censorship platform where we can't speak everything that's on our minds.
But if you are considering watching us on a platform that doesn't care about your politics, which is how I want it, I don't want them to agree with me.
I just want them to not care about mine.
But I suggest watching us over on Rumble over on Odyssey as well.
On both of those platforms, it allows you to support the work that we do completely willingly.
So you can do something called a paid chat on Rumble.
It's called a Rumble rant.
On Odyssey, it's called a hyper chat.
And if you leave, I think the base minimum is $5 US.
We'll read your question, query, comment, story idea on air.
But don't hesitate to leave a comment or donate a little bit underneath that because sometimes just at random, we'll pick a free chat or one of the lower dollar value chats to read on air.
So as I said, that's where you get to democratize the show.
You get to have your say.
And unlike the mainstream media, not only are we not funded by Justin Trudeau, we rely on your support at home, but we also care about what you think about the work that we do here at Rebel News.
We leave the comment section open.
And in fact, we invite your comments, which is a dying art.
If you take a look at some of the other Trudeau colonized media.
So true, Sheila.
And I can see that while we were off in Israel and Dubai, our colleagues back here on the home front were doing great work.
I speak specifically of Alexa Lavois and Lincoln Jay, who were at, what was it called?
It says here, the Globalist Summit of Montreal.
I don't think that was really on the full name.
It could have been a truth in advertising there, but it's called the Global Action Summit in Montreal.
And so it was polluted with the progressive cabal of the Western world.
Christy Freeland, Jacinda Ardern, Tony Blair.
And they thought they would have an easy go of it in Montreal.
However, they did not.
Our journalists were on the street holding the politicians to account.
And it's quite fascinating because this was really sort of a hidden conference.
They didn't really want anybody to know about it.
And, you know, the mainstream media, if they were there at all, they would report it glowingly.
But our journalists went there to speak truth to power, which is the job of journalists in case the mainstream media forgot.
And you know what was very interesting, Sheila, is that our own Lincoln J made headlines around the world.
Well, maybe not headlines, but mentions around the world and the world press for having the utter audacity to ask the former New Zealand prime minister, how much fossil fuel did you burn to get over here to Canada half a world away?
And you know, you know, isn't that telling?
The idea, and I think that's a very fair question to ask.
You're all about, you know, lowering emissions, reducing your carbon footprint.
There's the Daily Mail.
And yet you're on a plane coming here.
And don't we have the ability, Shield, in this day and age?
Surely that's one thing we surely learned from COVID was Zoom and Skype that you don't actually have to be physically in the room with the technology of today.
But no, there's those nice dinners.
And I'm sure it was first class around the way.
They weren't stuffing themselves into stowage class like we had to when we go on trips.
And it was like Snow Piercer back there.
It was really something else.
But yeah, these are the same insufferable ghouls who told us that Christmas could be done on Zoom.
Saying goodbye to your dying relatives, that could be done on Zoom.
Everything could be done digitally, your birthdays, church, communing with your faith community, that could be done on Zoom.
As though I can take communion over Zoom.
They told us that's the best way to do things.
And yet, as I say, these insufferable ghouls like Jacinda Ardern will literally circumnavigate the globe on first class or private jet to go somewhere to lecture you about the carbon footprint of your SUV so that you can have a comfortable, safe drive to work to pay their never-ending taxes.
And of course, Ardern didn't have an answer.
She wasn't prepared for an incensive question.
Also, let's just stop and like go back to how the mainstream media reported a prickly yet relevant and entirely reasonable question that the mainstream media is too lazy or incurious or too colonized by government money to ask.
They described it as heckling.
It wasn't heckling.
That's just a journalist doing their damn job.
Wouldn't it be nice if more than more people than just a handful of independent journalists in this country actually did their jobs and asked these people as they pull up in their motorcade?
Why are you worried about my SUV?
Look at all yours.
It's astounding.
By the way, we have a clip of Lincoln's question.
Let's go to it instead of me describing it over and over again.
Heckling.
Oh, yeah.
Heckling.
Hey, how are you?
How much fossil fuels did you burn coming here to talk about climate change?
Leave her alone.
Leave her alone.
You want a sidewalk?
No, leave her alone.
You can't touch me.
Leave her alone.
You leave her alone.
Does that make sense?
You leave her alone.
Does that make sense?
Leave her alone.
You cannot touch me.
Leave her alone.
You can't put your hands on me.
Look at that puke hiding his face.
You can't touch me like that.
I'm on a sidewalk, eh?
Please leave.
I'm not on the property.
Leave the former prime minister alone.
Sorry?
Just leave the former prime minister alone.
Yeah?
You can't put your hands on me like that, eh?
Just so you know.
Okay, so hang on here.
That's not heckling.
When you start off with, hey, how you doing?
How many fossil, how much fossil fuels were burned for you to get here?
That's not heckling.
That's a question.
He wasn't like, hey, lady, stupid former prime minister, whatever.
No, he asked a reasonable question.
And that kid who put his hands on Lincoln, I think he works for the government, by the way.
He's got his little Canadian lapel pin.
I think we figured out who he is.
And he's going to be in a world of trouble when we're done with him.
By the way, if you're watching this, buckle up, big guy.
You're going to be in big, big, big trouble for putting your hands on our journalists.
But even after Lincoln gets manhandled by this awful government staffer, he even responds politely.
He's like, hey, by the way, you can't put your hands on me.
Yeah.
Come put your hands on me.
I wonder if he was nine meters away from the entrance, Sheila.
Isn't that the no-smoking law these days in most Canadian municipalities?
Right.
So again, one law for thee, one law for me when it comes to at least that smoking pig.
I'm glad we might know who he is.
And again, we have to remind people that you're entitled to, I don't know, your opinion, but you can't get handsy on us, right?
Yeah.
And I mean, the audacity of that, and that is not the definition of heckling.
You know, I've been at sports matches where I've seen heckling, right?
You should see me at wrestling.
You should see me at wrestling.
I'll heckle people to tears.
That's not heckling.
That was mild.
That's a Lincoln doing his job as a polite but assertive journalist.
Yeah, that was, and I think, is that the New Zealand newspaper story where they were, you know, wringing their hands about the abuse that former parliamentarians, you know, and you know what?
Here's what I would have done if I were her.
I would confront Lincoln and say, well, here's why I'm here.
And here's why there is a good reason for me to up my carbon footprint, but she's got nothing.
That looks so bad when you put your head down like you've just been arrested and you make a B line for the door.
Didn't she think that somebody might ask a question or two about that hypocrisy?
But I guess not, Sheila.
No, because she's coming to Canada where, as I say, the media is already completely colonized by the mind virus of Justin Trudeau's money.
You know what?
And so she thought, oh, I'm going to have, it's a walk in the park.
Trudeau has already taken care of what potential opposition there might be to my appearance in this country.
She just had no idea that we still have independent journalists in this country.
You know, I think you're so right.
I think she thought this is a safe haven for me.
Not only are these journalists in the mainstream media on board with my worldview being left to far left, but the fact that Blackface is their sugar daddy, they're being paid off to be polite and nice.
So I can let my guard down.
And here comes Lincoln Jay, like the proverbial skunk to the garden party to ask her a completely fair question to which she has no answer.
And this is a former parliamentarian.
Give me a break, Sheila.
Well, it just shows you how pathetic the mainstream media is in New Zealand as well.
Oh, yeah.
She completely caught flat-footed.
Like, if you're a politician, you like you look at Pierre Polyev, he can spar with journalists to the left of him, but also journalists to the right.
And it's almost like a muscle you have to flex constantly.
The more you use it, the stronger it gets.
Your brain is a muscle.
And these politicians are not using their brains.
They can't think on their feet whatsoever.
They've never even considered that someone might ask them difficult questions.
We've got another clip.
Yep.
Video flashback global action summit.
I love how this is described with far left losers, former PM Jacinda Ardern Trudeau Saying when the right wants to draw us into culture wars or wokeness, we'll always be there to stand up for people's rights and also going to be there to put food on the table.
How about you just stop taxing us and we'll put our own damn food on the table?
I don't need the government, it is not my sugar daddy.
I don't need their help to feed my family.
I need them to stop taking my money so that I can.
Anyways, let's roll it.
And progressives, we fall into the same traps all the time.
When the right want to draw us into culture wars on issues of identity or wokeness, we've got to be able to say, yes, we'll always be there to stand up for people's rights.
But we're also going to be there to put food on the table, to make sure you have good jobs in a changing world, to focus on the middle class and people working hard to join it.
And getting that narrative, which is not as easy as just reflecting back and amplifying anger, but that is providing real solutions that people can see and feel and know that we're on the right track.
That's the challenge that we're facing when everything feels like dross.
And we need to show that, no, our institutions work and we can actually respond to these challenges in a tangible individual way.
Unbelievable to hear Blackface talk about putting food on the table.
Right now, there's the ongoing story, du jour, Sheila, as you know, is Blackface rattling his saber at the major grocery giants, which are having record profits.
But wait a minute, how did they get into that position?
Well, we know from the two and a half years of COVID lockdown, Sheila, it was these grocery giants that could remain open and do business as usual.
It was like the little mom paw grocery stores, which by the way, could have practiced hygiene and sanitation and social distancing far more efficiently than hangar-sized supermarkets.
They were the guys shut down under threat of fine or even going to the jail.
So when you eliminate the competition, of course, sales are going to go up.
Oh, and I almost forgot pre-COVID, Sheila.
Wasn't it Blackface that gave Loblaw, what was it, $14 million for new refrigerators?
Yeah, so what I'm saying is that the grocery giants were aided and abetted by Blackface.
And suddenly when Blackface needs another villain to demonize and vilify, he's going after them.
And what does he want to do?
What is he hinting at?
Galen Weston's Grocery Dilemma00:14:41
Oh, a tax.
I'll tax you.
Do you think if that tax comes to fruition, Sheila, that the likes of Loblaw, Sobeys, Metro, on down are going to just absorb it?
No, they're going to pass it on to the consumer.
So Blackface thinks he is going to enact the first tax in the history of mankind, or peoplekind, as he would say, that is actually going to enrich the lives of consumers.
What a jackass.
But then again, this is the guy that said eons ago, the budget will balance itself.
Yeah, and remember he said he would grow the economy from the heart outward, whatever that means.
Like just dumb, frivolous nonsense.
But like, this is a guy who is taxing literally every aspect of our lives through an ever-increasing carbon tax.
And then he's wondering why groceries are more expensive.
Everything moves on a truck.
And farmers have inputs.
You know, like people accuse farmers of getting rich.
We've got inputs and we're price takers, not price setters.
Our bottom line is being scraped away constantly by the carbon tax.
And for all those of you on the left who suddenly became agricultural experts, yes, I don't pay carbon tax on my farm fuel, but I do on grain drying.
I do on all the inputs like fertilizer.
Those are all the additional hidden costs that urban dwellers who never leave the pavement don't understand about groceries and how the food is grown and then how the food gets to the grocery store on freight, on shipping, on everything.
Anyway, Justin Trudeau, he's decided now he's going to square off with the grocery retailers.
Okay, maybe stop giving them money.
Let's put this tweet from Alex Ballingall.
Galen Weston, the head of Loblaws, the man accused of not accused, the company, the head of the company convicted of price fixing bread.
So a food staple on the poorest amongst us.
Those were the people hurt by Galen's price fixing for a decade, for a decade, I think, about 10 years.
Galen Weston arrives for government's meeting with Big Grocery this morning.
No comment, I bet, because we're not giving him money this time.
Government is demanding a plan from Loblaws and other big chains to rein in food prices, threatening unspecified action if they don't look.
Inflation is a government-created problem.
Maybe the grocery stores are capitalizing on it along the way, maybe not.
But so we're fighting with Galen Weston now.
He was your best buddy when you were giving one of the richest families in Canada the money to install new freezers because the freezers were more energy efficient.
And simultaneously, you know, like they're phasing out actual people who work in the grocery store.
That doesn't seem to bother anybody.
So the costs of the groceries keep going up and up and up.
And then they phase out people so that all of a sudden you work at the grocery store.
You're checking out your own groceries.
And then you don't even get to put them in a plastic bag because the government has phased those out too.
Like it's just, they've destroyed the entire retail grocery industry by their perpetual meddling.
And you know what the government's going to do?
Meddle more.
Just wait for another transport-style airplane airline industry style catastrophe to unfold in the retail grocery industry.
The government has to stop trying to fix the things they've broken and leave it up to industry to do it.
But Sheila, wouldn't you have loved to have seen Galen Weston grow a set and say words to you?
I'm just going to walk out of this meeting with more money if I know Galen Weston.
Oh, yeah.
But he could say, oh, you want to fix grocery prices?
How about this?
How about the government doing something completely within their power, which is to at least suspend the carbon taxes, which, as you said just minutes ago, is screwing over the farmers and the truckers.
This is inherently directly involved in getting groceries onto the shelves.
He could have said that, but no, he's a politician too.
You don't want to offend Blackface in case there might be some more freezer money down the road.
So he says nothing.
You know, it's absolutely shameful.
And again, much like enacting the Emergencies Act, as Pierre Trudeau, Blackface's father, enacted the War Measures Act back in the early 70s.
In the mid-70s, I remember, I'm old enough to remember this, Sheila, that Pierre Elliott Trudeau tried the ultimate form of meddling with an inflationary economy, which was the wage and price controls, which was wages are kept at 6%.
Prices are capped at a 5% increase.
Yeah, could you imagine that?
Why?
I don't know.
Why didn't he invoke legislation to determine when the tides are going to come in and out?
I mean, it was an absolute disaster.
It did nothing in terms of curbing inflation.
But I guess, Blackface, if daddy did it, I'm going to do it my own way with the grocery giants.
I'm just wondering how this is going to pan out.
Do you think Trudeau is going to enact a, I don't know, a sort of a penalty tax?
They're running out of names to call these taxes.
But if he does, it's you, I, and our viewers that are going to get screwed, Sheila.
Yeah, the grocery retailers aren't going to pay this tax.
It's just going to get tacked on to the cost of milk one more time.
Like it's a pass-through.
It always goes down to the consumer.
These guys aren't going to pay this additional whatever it is, levy tax, whatever they're going to call it.
And let's just go back to this freezer issue for a second because the reason that Galen Weston got his grant for new freezers is because keeping food cold is expensive.
Why is keeping food cold expensive?
Because of carbon taxes.
So instead of saying, okay, well, we just need to suspend this carbon tax.
It's just making it too expensive for the retailers and the retailers are passing the additional cost on to the consumer.
The government gives Canada's richest family or one of Canada's richest families $12 million for more freezers.
While you and I are like, okay, well, I just continue to wear two pairs of socks and an additional sweater and perhaps a touquet home because I can't afford to turn up the heat around the house.
But as long as Galen Weston is, you know, getting a little help from the government, I feel good about that.
Yeah, maybe Galen Weston can think outside the box, Sheila.
And when it comes to freezers and refrigerators, you know, in the ice cream section, for example, just have the ice cream on a shelf and have it liquefied and tell your consumers, when you get home, put it in the freezer to refreeze it, and then you'll have the experience of ice cream as opposed to a milkshake.
Hey, why not?
You know, let's move ahead to because Alexa had some great coverage of the same Global Action Summit, Globalist Summit.
Alexa doorstepped Christia Freeland.
By the way, Justin Trudeau should really teach Christia Freeland how to sit like a lady because only one of them sits like a lady with their legs crossed appropriately.
And it is Justin Trudeau.
So I know what can be done.
We didn't have to use the blue dot on this video, did we, Sheila?
No, what a terror, though.
That woman.
Just an absolute clodhopper of a woman.
So anyways, Christy Freeland was doorstepped by our Alexa Lavois about the government's new proposed grocery tax.
Of course, you can float the idea of a grocery tax.
And apparently the liberals think that the people who are eating the groceries and buying the groceries should not be entitled to pose questions to the government who are making groceries more expensive.
So she approaches Freeland and then watch what happens next.
Apparently now, hotel employees think it's their right to put their hands on female journalists.
And again, if you, if you sent a mean tweet to Rachel Gilmore in the last year, you're on some sort of Ceasis watch list.
But Alexa Lavois can get manhandled, shot at close range by a riot-control device, and it's no big deal.
If she were on the left, she would be speaking on feminist panels about the dangers that female journalists face, but Alexis' politics are all wrong.
And so people pretend like she's not that these things don't happen to her.
Anyways, I'll shut up.
Let's roll the clip.
Now, Canadian, with a new taxes for grossy stuff.
You don't think that having a tag on taxes is actually like not helping Canadian?
Woah!
What's that?
What's that now?
Mohammed Zahouli, ma'am, it's just there.
Clown that guy is.
Yeah, all I gotta say, Sheila, here is holy David Strong.
Remember that Jabroni from the Radisson Hotel?
We went to court.
We successfully sued him when he got handsy with Ephryn and I when we were covering the another Toronto migrant hotel and decided to get Hansy.
Maybe we can show that clip later on.
Yeah, but what is it about hotel employees who I assume don't have a security license?
And even if they did, they're not supposed to get handsy like that.
It's too bad we didn't have a supplementary camera to show how Alexa was getting shoved around by that guy.
But yeah.
So let's let's.
I wonder if the hotel itself has footage.
They probably shouldn't delete that.
Yeah.
They probably should delete that because we're also going to find out who that guy is.
You don't get to just put your hands on our journalist.
And by the way, Freeland will not shut up about feminism, right?
Like she is inseparable about it, but she doesn't even flinch to turn around and say, hey, take your hands off that woman.
No, Freeland completely ignores it.
If I saw a leftist woman being assaulted, I wouldn't check her politics and her voting record before I objected to it.
But the left seems to think that we need to make sure that there's a values test before we stand up against violence against women.
It's appalling.
Freeland had a chance to intervene and say, Look, get your hands off her.
She didn't.
She walked away because she doesn't actually care about violence against women or feminism or women's rights or anything like that.
She's just a social preener to the liberal base.
She doesn't care about any of these things.
No, you're so right.
And it all has everything to do with your political leanings, Sheila.
That's why she cruises through.
Now, by the way, I noticed when I'm running that videotape, too, that guy he points at his name tag, his hotel name.
His stump is a stump.
Yeah, like it's his sheriff's badge.
Like he's actually a member of law enforcement.
I think it's coming up just any second now.
Yeah, yeah.
Look, see my name tag that has my name on it as a hotel employee.
You know, I'm the sheriff in these here parts, little lady.
Unbelievable.
But what was the name of that hotel, by the way, Sheila?
I don't know, but these handsy male feminists, they all look the same, don't they?
They all have this sort of look about them.
That, you know, Alexa probably could have dropped him like a sack of potatoes, but then the whole narrative is rebel news journalists assaults hotel and place.
Oh, yeah.
That's what it'll be.
Let's move ahead because despite, oh, no, yes, despite all this, Alexa Lavoie continued to do her work, even though she's manhandled by a hotel employee.
And she found former prime minister of the United Kingdom, Tony Blair, and asked him a similar question to what our friend Lincoln Jay put to Jacinda earlier in the day.
So let's roll that.
Is it not a percytical to come here with a private jet or with a flight burning a lot of carbon footprint to come here to talk about climate change?
It's not a little bit hypocritical?
No answer.
No, it never is.
Because what could you answer, right?
Like, what could you answer?
But these are allegedly parliamentarians, Sheila.
They should be good with their mouth.
That's your number one skill as a politician.
Don't you even have a stand-pat answer just in case there is some impolite person asking these questions?
Apparently not.
They just clam up and retreat into their shell like a tortoise.
Yeah, because they've never been asked these questions.
Like I said earlier, Pierre Polyev, he gets asked tough questions by the left and the right.
His like his argumentation muscle in his brain is constantly working and flexing and growing.
And then these liberal politicians, they know that the mainstream media and so the journalists, the only journalists they allow into these events, are so in agreement with them on everything that they know a prickly question is never going to come their way.
And so, yeah, Alexa, she was there until she was booted because that's how you get kicked out of these summits, these globalist summits, is by being disagreeable or at least having a free thought.
45 Minutes Of Disagreement00:05:52
That's how I got the entire company kicked out, I believe in perpetuity from the United Nations climate change conferences.
Yes, you did, Sheila, as I found out back in 2018 when I flew all the way to Morocco because of you.
I think you, well, what was that story that, if you can quickly give us that story, I think it was an insensitive question by you to somebody who is maybe native or partly native.
Do I have that right?
And that resulted in a referee, Danny Davis, is suspended for life at WWF moment in terms of rebel reporters being suspended for life for UN events.
Yeah, and it was so dangerous, apparently, that they let me finish the conference before banning us, which would have been, if they had kicked me out of the conference, it would have been a quiet mercy because what a boring bunch of garbage it is inside those conferences.
But yeah, there was a guy at the incidentally also in Morocco at the UN Climate Change Conference, and I had been allowed inside, which was probably a big mistake on behalf of the United Nations looking back.
But there was an Indigenous chief from southern Manitoba.
Okay.
So southern Manitoba down here, oil sands Indigenous chiefs up here, pro-energy, right?
They are not invited to these things, by the way.
But this guy from southern Manitoba had went there to talk about how the oil and gas industry is ruining the lives of Indigenous people.
There's no oil and gas development anywhere near his reserve.
So I thought I would put that to him.
And I asked him, you know, like basically, who paid for you to come here?
Like, did the Canadian taxpayer pay for you to come here?
Did your fellow Indigenous people who work in the oil and gas sector, did they pay for you to come here?
Do these people know that you are claimed to be speaking on behalf of all of these people, but you are disenfranchising the Indigenous people who use the oil and gas industry as their way out of generational poverty.
don't speak on behalf of the indigenous bands in Fort McMurray, Fort Mackay, whatever.
His press secretary then he wandered, sort of wandered off.
His press secretary tried to handle me.
Didn't put her hands on me though, but she was like, and then she ran off and locked herself in the port-a-potties.
And so after she locked herself in the port-a-potty, she went to the United Nations media guy and said, excuse me, I'd like to report a crime.
Yes, there's somebody here disagreeing with me.
And so she accused me of harassment and then came and the media guy came and he tried to handle me.
And then they kicked me out of the conferences forever.
But again, they let me finish the conference.
I was so dangerous and so harassing that they let me put in a full week of work at the conference and then banned us the next time around.
Well, two things.
All of those questions you asked were completely fair and legitimate.
And secondly, I never heard the port-a-potty part of the story.
Was this before or after Peter McKay went, ran into the toilets to avoid our former colleague Ian Bexty's questioning?
I mean, is this the new strategy?
Go into a stall and just wait for the pesky reporter to leave.
She was in there for like 45 minutes too.
I thought, okay, I've got all, I don't, I'm not interested in anything that's actually being discussed at this conference because it's all just a bunch of garbage.
And quite boring inside the conference, except that it's sort of otherworldly.
It's sort of this like you're in, you're in Morocco in the desert, but you're inside the conference in this fake city that they've built.
And it's so cold that I came home with a cold because I was in the air conditioning all day.
My nose is constantly running.
And then you walk out into the heat of the Moroccan desert every day.
But so that was the interesting thing, like the things that the mainstream media ignored.
But yeah, she locked herself in the bathroom for like 45 minutes.
Finally, I gave up.
I was like, oh, look, she's so scared.
She's going to stay in there forever if I just lurk here.
Now I wasn't trying to be cruel or anything.
But yeah, then as soon as she got out, she like tattled off.
Oh, let me go back a little.
Sorry, it's story time with Sheila.
But prior to us going to the United Nations, like applying to the United Nations conference, initially they had banned us.
They said, actually, you can't come to this thing because we don't allow activist media.
And so I went through the list of media companies that they had accredited and it was like all these climate change activist media.
And I'm like, oh, so it's not that you disallow activist media.
You don't want skeptics there, which was the problem.
And so when we put that to them, like your excuse falls flat, they had to begrudgingly let me in.
And then so I know the first time, like the very first tough question I put to anybody, I should have known we would be banned because they were looking for a reason to ban us.
So I guess they got their wish.
You know, that's so perversely ironic.
Activist media, I would argue you could call most of the mainstream media journalists as activists today.
I mean, they're on the government payroll.
How much of an activist do you have to be in order to accept money from the people that you're ostensibly covering in an unbiased situation?
It's just baffling.
But I got to say, to spend 45 minutes in a port-a-potty, Sheila, I consider myself lucky if I can get out of those things in 45 seconds.
I mean, they're so charming.
It's such a pleasant experience, port-a-potty.
Get On the Freedom Train00:03:13
You know what?
I'm exaggerating.
It's not like a rodeo port-a-potty.
It was like one of those, because they built a city out of the desert for this thing, a completely disposable city, which will go in the garbage after the end of it all.
Thank you, climate change activists.
But it was like one of those like port-a-potty trailers, like a bathroom trailer.
Oh, I just know that you bring in.
Yeah.
Our globalist elites are definitely not using the rodeo-style port-a-potties that I end up using at certain events.
But, anyways, yeah, it was she stayed in there just terrified for it wasn't a Johnny on the spot kind of thing.
It was the luxury port-a-potties.
Of course, it is United Nations.
You know, Sheila, I think we are overdue for an advertisement.
Oh, gosh.
Yeah, let's, and then let's go right into the million man march afterwards.
Uh, I think we'll have, yeah, so let's skip over just so you know, guys.
Let's skip over the polyev clips and we'll go right into the million man march after the break.
Thanks.

Know your rights, know your freedoms.
Canadians are grappling with news blackouts on social media due to the Justin Trudeau Liberal government's Bill C-18.
This new piece of legislation demands that social media platforms pay the government for news shared by users, which is an inconceivable task for companies like Meta and Google.
So as a result, they have decided to preemptively block all Canadian news content, including ours at Rebel News.
In response to this, we have since teamed up with VPN provider Private Internet Access to ensure that you can continue to access all of our content across a broad range of platforms while also maintaining your privacy.
For only $2 a month, you can bypass Trudeau's new censorship laws while you safeguard freedom of speech and continue to get the news that matters to you the most.
Visit piavpn.com/slash rebelnews to take advantage of the 84% discount and four months free.
As a bonus, PIA has all of its servers located in the United States, not China, and they automatically delete user data from their servers to avoid leaks and government subpoenas for information phishing expeditions.

Don't delay.
You don't want to be left behind.
You know, Sheila, in addition to Tamara Leach being a patriot and a freedom fighter and a logistical genius, yes, she really is.
She is just so cool.
That ad is amazing.
It's just unbelievable, you know.
And I guess in a way, I'm kind of getting my dream to come true.
It was a dream that was squashed by our colleague Dave Shrigley.
Dave's a really nice guy and all, but I thought of a rebel news variety hour that we could put on.
And I wrote a song.
It's called The Rock Song.
You have dreams of being Bobby Bittman.
I know you do.
Well, I tried it out.
I tried out a few verses on Dave Shrigley, and he literally laughed in my face.
Like, you know, there's two ways of going about that.
It's basically to lie and go, hey, that's pretty good.
Or, you know, semi-lie and say, you know, it's not my cup of tea, but maybe somebody would like it.
But on the first verse, Sheila, to laugh in my face like that, to kill my dreams like that.
Dave Shrigley, oh, I'm telling you, you know, you better watch it.
I still think about that, but it looks like Tamara Leach is going to do the heavy lifting in that regard.
She's great.
I've seen her perform before.
She played a concert at the Whistle Stop Cafe.
She's awesome.
So if you are considering going, don't consider.
Just go.
Get your tickets and go.
Let's go into the Million Man March.
And then we've got some updates from the courtroom where Ezra is covering the pastor art sentencing today.
So team in Toronto, if we need to break in, please let me know.
But the Million Person March.
I just, before I jumped on to this show, I was in an interview with the organizer of the Million Person March, Million Man March, Million People Kind March, Camille El-Sheik.
He's the Muslim dad who is uniting the country really in much the same vein as the Freedom Convoy did on this one very important issue that goes across all religions, across cultures, against the sexualization and indoctrination of kids in schools by activists and activist teachers.
And it's really something to see.
The march takes place in cities all across the country on Wednesday.
Our Rebel News team, I'm not sure if we've made the decision quite yet.
We may cancel the live stream that day.
And the reason is we have made a decision to focus our journalistic coverage on these marches because since this is an organic movement of Canadians against the mainstream narrative, you know that the mainstream media will either not cover it at all or do their best to villainize it.
And we have to be there to show the truth.
So Dre is going to be at a march in BC.
We've got the team in Calgary.
Edmonton is all is lost there.
But I'll be going to Regina.
And it'll be interesting to be in Regina because Regina, so Saskatchewan and New Brunswick are the provinces who are resisting this stuff and really supporting parents' rights.
And so I want to go there to show what it likes to, what it's like to win when you push back on these things.
The GTA, I mean, the full team is going to be out, even people who work behind the scenes that you might not normally see their faces.
They're going to be out in the field.
Alexa is going to be in Montreal.
So, I mean, this is, it's really something to see.
The mainstream media and the government, but I'm probably repeating myself there by making a distinction between those two groups.
They really want us to be divided.
But it's really heartening to see, you know, Christians and Muslims and Buddhists and Jewish people and new Canadians all coming together to say, no, not my kids, not now, not ever.
And Sheila, you forgot one important sidebar element to this story, and that is the anticipated counter-protest being busily organized by public sector unions.
Yes, the same unions that our taxpayer dollars fund, all in the name of radical transgenderism, critical race theory, you name it.
And there is a fascinating Zoom meeting of these unions.
I watched an hour of it.
I watched an hour of it.
It was just like I could not have like in my wildest fevered dreams where I was trying to parody these people, like who I think activist teachers might look like and behave like in the language that they might use.
I couldn't even get that ridiculous if I were attempting to parody these people.
I watched an hour of it.
It's an hour of my life.
I'll never get back, but I'm glad I did it because, you know, like, I was saying to Camille today, you in your mind, you suspect that there is a really organized opposition to parents, a really organized, evil, sinister plot to undermine parents' rights to deeply damage other people's children.
You sort of know it in your heart, but all we can really see evidence of up until now was an activist teacher here or there, an activist union making public statements here or there.
But this is the first time we were able to pull back the curtain and see just how sinister and evil these people are.
Teachers organizing against parents to undermine parents to their children.
It was absolutely appalling to watch.
And the amount of pride flag backgrounds and like trans flag backgrounds in the Zoom column, like their pronouns, they, her, like, I don't know how that works, but they've got all their pronouns and their names.
It's just, and calling parents fascist.
Yeah.
Excuse me, crazy lady, but you are the ones enforcing the state here.
You're the ones enforcing the gender ideology that is being fed to us on behalf of the state.
You're those people.
You are the fascists undermining the family unit, which is the first thing fascists and communists always attack because it's the building block of society.
And people who are loyal to their family and to God are the people that the state has a hard time controlling.
But, anyways, we've got a clip of this.
I could go on and on.
But yes, I did put an hour into this.
Indeed, in case you think Sheila Gunrida is exaggerating, folks, just check out this.
Look at the trans flag in the top corner.
That lady has her pronouns.
We are seeing a set of protests that are all being done simultaneously.
They're all being set for 9 a.m. in each of their time zones in every single province of this country in multiple states of these provinces.
And it is really scary.
It is extremely similar as to what has been happening in the U.S.
And we are very, very worried about what could be coming next.
We are wanting to show a very strong response countering these protests to show that, you know, they even think that there's a possibility of bringing what's happening in other places here.
We're going to be there to counter it every single step of the way.
We want to show a very heavy people on this call that have a lot of experience in dealing with this type of thing that can help us keep each other safe and be strong in the response that we're doing as well as these to these to these hate mongers, really.
You know what?
That's good.
That's good.
Because we've got some news from the courtroom in Lethbridge that we should get to.
But calling parents hate mongers.
There's one thing in there that made me happy.
As much as I hate to see the people paid by our tax dollars in charge of your kids for seven hours a day attacking parents as hate mongers and fascists.
You know what was the one thing that warmed my heart in all of this?
How scared they are.
How scared they are.
And they say it.
After 40 years of their garbage going unopposed and unabated and completely supported by the mainstream media and the government, they've got opposition now.
And so you know what?
Let's rumble.
You know what?
Let's rumble.
Finally, someone has stepped up and it's spreading in cities all across the country.
And these people are fearful.
They're scared.
They know they're going to lose.
I love it.
And what does she mean, Sheila, by this type of thing?
This type of thing, meaning a demonstration, a peaceful protest, much like how these teachers' unions, at least in Ontario, every two or three years go out on strike.
You know, it's for the kids, right?
It's for the kids that we're withholding our services.
Their demonstrations are okay, but suddenly those who oppose their Marxist views, and this is Marxism, Sheila.
Oh, sure.
This is all about attacking the nuclear family.
This is Marxism 101.
Tear it down.
These are a bunch of Marxists that are with both the teachers' unions and the school boards these days.
This is why they're promoting radical transgenderism.
This is why they're promoting critical race theory.
And you're right.
You're absolutely right.
Finally, someone is standing up to them.
Of course, if we were to reach out to Blackface, he would say that Camille has obviously been influenced by the far right white supremacists in the United States to do this.
I'm serious.
That's what he would say.
That's because he doesn't want to be seen attacking Muslims directly.
So what do you think is going to happen, Sheila?
First of all, that number, 1 million, that's a lot of people.
Do you think that target will be reached?
I'm not sure.
And I don't think it really matters.
As I said, this is the first time these maniacs have ever been opposed in 40 years.
And their fear looks good on them.
They said something in there that I thought was quite striking when they said, oh, darn.
It just completely slipped my mind.
Shoot.
I was just thinking about what happened in the Lethbridge courtroom and all my other thoughts escaped from my mind.
Let's get to the Lethbridge news.
Let's get to the Lethbridge news.
But anyways, for those of you who want details, I think you can just look Million Man March on Facebook and find a city close to you.
And if you are tired of teachers undermining your authority as a parent, and if you're tired of your government allowing teachers to undermine your authority as a government, perhaps it's time to get out there and protest and ask your government to follow the lead of Saskatchewan and New Brunswick and put parents first because parents are the first and best educators of every child.
And the school system should be taking direction from the parents and not these activist maniacs who think that they are in direct conflict with parents and who think they know what's best for your kids.
Their fear just warms the cockles of my heart.
It does.
Let's go to the Lethbridge courtroom.
We've got news from the Lethbridge courtroom.
Ezra is there on the ground.
Let's go to his tweet.
Pastor Archer Pulowski, sentenced to 60 days in prison.
That's for, no, hang tight, guys.
This is good and bad.
So sentenced to 60 days in prison.
They are appealing his conviction, but he's going to sentencing anyway.
So we'll get credit for 60 days time served.
I think at one point they wanted the maximum here.
So we're still appealing the sentence and his conviction.
You can do that at savearter.com.
So he's going to walk out of court a free man today.
So as Ezra said, court's over, Archer walks free, no jail time other than what was served.
And there were huge cheers from the hallway when Archer walks out of the courtroom.
So also good news that the judge also rejected the prosecutor's claim that Archer engaged in hate speech by giving a sermon, a Christian sermon to truckers at the border who were as part as part of a satellite protest to the freedom convoy, the anti-mandate mandate freedom convoy that was in Ottawa last end of January, halfway through February.
Truckers were blocking the border in Coots, Alberta.
Ian Simoni was on the ground.
Sid Fizzard also on the ground in Coots, Alberta for really the duration of the blockade there.
And I think that blockade truly set Albertans free because we watched our premier at the time, Jason Kenney, go from, oh, we're going to drop the vaccine passport in two weeks.
And then it was like at the end of the week.
And then they were like, oh, actually at midnight today.
And it was because the truckers were very clearly blocking the border.
And as the and as a result of that, there are truckers down there facing mischief charges.
And Art faced really a counterterrorism charge, blocking critical infrastructure.
It's a law designed to prevent eco-terrorists from harming pipelines.
And instead, they never used it for that.
Instead, they used it on a pastor who gave a speech to the truckers about peaceful civil resistance.
For that, he was, you know, convicted.
And now, as you see, given 60 days in jail, but he spent so much jail time pre-trial that he will walk free.
Conviction Under Civil Liberties00:03:43
Now, we cannot let this conviction stand.
And so there is an appeal in place.
And Art's got really, truly one of the best civil liberties lawyers in the entire country, Sarah Miller.
Oh, she's absolutely the best one.
Sharp cookie, funny cookie, true believer in freedom for everybody, even people she fundamentally disagrees with.
And if you'd like to make a tax-deductible donation to make sure that this doesn't set any sort of legal precedent, you can go to savearcher.com.
And again, thank goodness the big boss man, Ezra himself, is down there covering this, Sheila, because you just can't trust how the mainstream media is going to spin this.
No, no.
Look, 150 people outside the courtroom this morning chanting their support for Archer.
I mean, it's just, it's appalling that it got this far.
It's appalling that there's a conviction in place.
We're going to do our best to make sure that that doesn't stand through our partnership with the Democracy Fund.
That's Canada's top civil liberties charity.
That's been helping art since the very beginning, doing their best to get all of his pandemic tickets kicked out.
And then now all of his other legal troubles.
So anyway, so good news and bad news today in Lethbridge, but appeal in progress.
I'm just a little gobsmacked by viewing all of those hate symbols outside the court, Sheila.
Crosses Canadian flags.
It's just, I think I need a cup of tea to settle myself.
Yeah.
You know, you and I just came back from Israel, and it doesn't matter whether you're on the left or the right, everybody flies the Israeli flag.
But in Canada, apparently the Canadian flag has been co-opted by radical fascist nationalists.
If you would pay attention to the mainstream media, it's quite bizarre what they've allowed our country to become.
No, and you don't exaggerate.
Whenever I'm at one of these freedom demonstrations, I'm always drawn to the big macho pickup trucks with the hockey stick in the bed with the Canadian flag.
And I talk to these guys and gals, and they're just the greatest salt of the earth people, Sheila.
And incredibly, they all tell me the same consistent story when they're driving around with their Canadian flag flapping in the wind from the hockey stick.
Not a single day goes by where a motorist passes them by and gives them the finger, right?
This idea of a Canadian flag on a hockey stick to the loony left is deemed to be a hate symbol.
It really is our own nation's flag.
It's, you know, Sheila, it's just mind-boggling.
It is.
So I'm sure Ezra will have a full report on what transpired in the courtroom today.
I'm not sure if that'll be the monologue on his Ezra Levant show, but I know that there's a story with all of his live tweets from the courtroom on rebelnews.com.
So if you're looking for more about what happened inside the courtroom, we were there on the ground giving live updates.
You can catch that on rebelnews.com on the website there.
And what a great opportunity for you to sign up for our emails because thanks to Justin Trudeau meddling and doing his best to extort from the social media companies, you won't be able to see this on Facebook or on Instagram or thankfully, you can still see it on Twitter.
Mike Babcock's Odd Request00:04:50
So it's a good reason to go to our landing page, put your email into the little pop-up there so that you can stay in touch and get breaking updates as they happen.
Yeah, and you know, I know we don't have a heck of a lot of time, and I was hoping to just get to something that's not on the agenda here, Sheila, because when I was driving into the office, it was consuming all forms of talk radio.
It was front page of the Toronto Sun.
There you go.
And the headline is baboom.
Mike Babcock, who was the brand new coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets in the NHL, just signed in July, is already fired before, well, they call it resign, but it's really being fired.
And it is, I want to get your take on the story, Sheila.
It's all about what happened with Babcock going to the hockey players on the team, insisting they hand over their cell phones to him so that he could scroll through their photos.
And, you know, this is one of these stories, whether you're on the left, on the right, in the center, everyone is reacting with a what the hell kind of response.
I haven't seen anyone go to bat for the coach saying, oh, yeah, this is completely normal.
I mean, Sheila, what, you know, it's an NHL story, but this could be somebody getting a job at Canada Packers or McDonald's or what have you.
The idea of somebody, your superior, your boss, your manager, saying, hand over your phone.
I want to scroll through the photos.
What is it that Mike Babcock was hoping to find?
I mean, it is so super creepy.
It is such an invasion of privacy.
I'll give you my theory.
I think, and I could be wrong, but I can't think of any other reason.
You know, these hockey players, all these young studs, they're athletes, they're making millions of dollars.
Maybe Babcock thinks, you know, these guys probably have some really hot girlfriends.
Maybe they're some racy lingerie pitchers.
Boy, I'm going to enjoy this free show.
Other than that, Sheila, I've got nothing.
I mean, and right now, you know, so many people have photos on their cell phones.
Let's go back to yesterday.
Let's say this was the 70s or the 80s.
There's no cell phones.
Could you imagine a coach of an NHL team or any other organization saying, Sheila, before we get into business here, can you bring in your family photo albums?
I just want to scroll through what you've put in your photo albums.
It would be equally outrageous.
Sheila, what do you think?
Because I can't find anything along the lines of a motivation, an unspoken strategy.
Why it is that a hockey coach looking for redemption, looking for a job, he was fired from the leafs back in 2019, why he would do this and basically shoot himself in the foot.
And by the way, is this a first?
As I said, he was hired in July.
They haven't played a single hockey game, not even an exhibition game.
And he's already fired.
Has any coach in pro sports history had their career ended before game one?
Unbelievable.
Maybe he was looking to see if there were pictures of underage minor girls on their phones.
Was it in August?
Wander Franco from the Rays, MLB was put on leave because of allegations while authorities in the Dominican Republic, his home country, investigate whether or not he had a relationship with, I think, a 14-year-old girl.
Maybe, like, maybe he was trying to protect the team and the league in his own weird creep show kind of way, just being maybe hypersensitive about these issues presenting themselves in other sports.
I'm not sure.
Why do I think that he's benevolent?
He's just probably just being a weirdo.
Geez, Sheila, you should be his lawyer because that would be, I mean, that would be kind of a good defense.
I mean, I still think it's inappropriate.
It's weird.
It's weird.
I don't like it.
But at least you have a reason.
It's just fascinating.
If anyone want to weighs in, and I don't see any support for this.
And I just, you know, I'm beside myself.
But if that was the reason, why doesn't he say that, Sheila?
Why doesn't he say, I don't want a Tampa Bay Rays situation to happen with the Columbus Blue Jackets?
Suspect Timing, Weirder Russell00:14:39
And I want to make sure that all the photos were on the up and up.
But still, is that the role of a hockey coach?
I mean, yeah, that's the thing.
You know, geez, mind your own beeswax.
Let's just talk about this because it's been this other thing, guys.
I'm sorry to put you on the spot.
And I know that we're supposed to F Ron, I know we're supposed to have a meeting right away.
But let's talk about this.
And because I know it's been said to us a few times in the company tips line, people wanting our opinion.
I don't really have one except because I don't know really what's happening here.
I'm just going to say that it seems interesting, the timing and all.
So people have asked us to comment on Russell Brand.
Yes.
And I had no idea any of this was unfolding.
As I said in the morning call, I'm just figuring out what day it is.
I lived Friday literally twice by the time I flew back to Canada.
And then I was sort of turned around with jet lag for two days.
But apparently, Russell Brand, British actor, British commenter, podcaster.
And I've watched him over the course of the pandemic move from new age weirdo, who is mildly interesting, like what I thought was just like a yoga guru, kind of a strange crystals cure cancer kind of guy, to a libertarian thought leader, you know, speaking to people like Jordan Peterson and really being anti-coercion and anti-mandate.
And I think his transition was quite sincere.
He's sort of left behind the far left, and maybe he is still far left on social issues, but he seems to be anti-coercion.
And lo and behold, over the weekend, four women have come forward, and he's a comedian and podcaster or whatever and have accused him of sounds like I don't know if I could say that sexual assault and abuse.
And I don't know why these allegations are being made right now as he's fully transitioned into libertarian thought leader when he was the left-wing granola Birkenstock long-haired hippie.
None of these things ever presented themselves.
And I don't know the timing seems striking to me.
I make no insinuation about the veracity of these claims or the authenticity of them.
All I'm saying is strange.
That's all.
I share your opinion 100%, Sheila.
It's very weird, the timing, isn't it?
Once he becomes libertarian, suddenly out of the woodwork come multiple claims of sexual abuse, sexual yeah, all at once.
You know, so the timing is suspect.
And the, I don't know, the sheer volume of accusations coming to the surface at the same time, that's suspect as well.
It should be noted, in fairness, Russell Brand, none of these allegations have been proven in a court of law.
Yeah, and he denies them completely.
And the initial investigation is just beginning.
And his wife is pregnant right now with their child.
And, you know, like his ex, his exes include Katie Perry and Kate Moss.
He, there's a lesson in here, by the way.
Brand insisted that while he was promiscuous in the past, maybe don't be promiscuous and you won't have these sorts of problems and allegations.
But anyway, his relationships have already have always been consensual, is what he says.
So I don't know, just if you just don't do that whole promiscuous, weird hippie sleeping around thing, then you won't have the opportunity for people to level these accusations against you.
But you know, Sheila, in fairness, even if you are promiscuous, as far as I'm concerned, if you're both adults and it's consensual, but there's no crime there.
Right.
No, of course there's no crime there.
I just make a like a moral distinction there is all.
Oh.
Yeah.
There's a reason why you don't do these things.
And this is one of them, by the way.
So I just, for people who have been emailing us and asking us what we think about it, there's what I think.
I don't really know anything.
I just think the timing is interesting.
Yeah, you know, and I'd like to modify an old saying, Sheila, because over and over you hear, well, where there's smoke, there's fire.
You know, guess what, folks?
Sometimes where there's smoke, just a whole bunch of other smoke.
No fire.
So let's see this play out.
And, you know, but I will say this, Sheila.
If these allegations are false, I think this is the most wicked thing you can do to a person.
Oh, for sure.
And by the way, they did this.
They did this to Kevin Spacey.
Did you know that Kevin Spacey was innocent?
When the allegations against him went to court, he was not convicted.
You don't know that, though.
All you know is the allegations against him.
I just listened to a podcast and I'm an evangelist for the work that Ann McElhaney and Phelan McAlier do at the Unreported Stories Society.
They have an incredible podcast.
They did one on Weinstein.
What they did is they just went and got the trial transcripts and hired voice actors to read them every day.
And if you listened to that podcast and then listened like to the trial transcripts verbatim versus what the mainstream media was reporting, you would have two wildly different opinions.
And I know I did.
And they have done much the similar, much similar with Kevin Spacey because Anne, who is also a filmmaker, somebody said she was looking for an actor for one of her films.
And somebody suggested, well, why don't you hire Kevin Spacey?
He needs work.
And she was like, ooh, gross, no.
And then the person who had suggested it said, you know that he's innocent, right?
Like he he didn't do those things.
A court adjudicated him.
And she was like, really?
And she fancies herself to be a journalist and she is.
And she's a very smart woman.
And she's the, they're the people behind the Gosnell movie and my son Hunter and Frack Nation.
So smart investigative journalist.
And she's like, even I was duped.
And so she did much the same thing.
And they did the same thing to Kevin Spacey.
And so his life is ruined.
His reputation is destroyed.
The lie got around the world before the truth put its pants on.
And I worry they're going to do the same thing to Russell Brandt.
Again, I don't know if any of it is true.
But if it is not true, I don't think it even matters at this point.
The damage is already done.
So Sheila, what was the unspoken strategy in terms of falsely accusing Kevin Spacey?
I mean, why did these accusers have an axe to grind with him in the first place?
Well, this really accuser who spent several years making allegations here and there, like a whisper campaign.
And it was because Kevin Spacey, although I think everybody probably knew he was gay, he was never openly out.
He would take his mom to award shows, whatever.
And one of these people who sort of knew Kevin Spacey at the beginning, but his career didn't go the way Kevin Spacey's did, was jealous.
And he said, you know, Kevin Spacey was able to basically live a life in the closet while the rest of us are living life in the open and dealing with the ramifications of that.
And so it was like just pure spite that because Kevin Spacey didn't out himself, they were going to destroy his life.
And they did at the end of the day.
And it didn't matter the truth.
And Kevin Spacey, by the way, a pack rat, kept everything he ever touched in his entire life.
And he was able to prove that the allegations against him were not true through paper, like not just recollections of he said, he said, but like he had the paper documentation.
He had packed it away in a warehouse.
I forget where it was, but some like horrible, unglamorous place, warehouse of just paper and whatever.
And he was able to find everything to exonerate himself.
What a terrible story.
Unbelievable.
Well, Sheila, I think we should get to, if we have any.
You better believe it.
Okay.
We've got some chats.
I'll get to them.
Anyways, that's my, might I suggest if you and McElhaney, Phelan McAlier, they're Irish journalists.
They're incredible and they will blow your mind.
And also, there's something to be said here.
As Christians, as a Christian, we should reject the mob.
Didn't we learn anything about Jesus and the mob?
The mob gets these things wrong, by the way.
So we should reject the desire to go along with the mob because the person's politics disagree with ours.
That's why a lot of conservatives jumped on the anti-Kevin Spacey bandwagon.
They're like, oh, yeah, these Hollywood weirdos.
But the truth matters more than politics.
And so these two very conservative, social conservative, by the way, journalists are the ones telling the true story of Kevin Spacey.
So don't.
Unbelievable.
Anyway, can't recommend their work enough.
Let's get to some of these chats.
My buddy Mike Mayer, Freedom Honey, great guy, married to the love of his life, Sherry.
I'm very sorry I couldn't make the wedding, but your pictures are beautiful and fun and just so perfectly Albertan.
Lots of guns in their wedding photos.
I love it.
Anyway, he gives us five bucks and says, my two favorite rebels, I'm curious if the radical union members plan to disrupt the protest Wednesday.
They plan to.
I'm not sure how effective they'll be.
I mean, their union street team, Antifa, is threatening to be out in certain cities, but we've got security hired for our journalists.
And if you'd like to support that, I think it's journalistdefensefund.com for those of you at home who want to donate to keep our journalists safe as they try to bring you the other side of the story.
I'm looking forward to the Edmonton one.
Yeah.
Thanks, Mike, for going to that.
I'm going to Regina, but I look forward to your updates.
You know, Sheila, I want Mike to write back because he used that line, my two favorite rebels.
My question to Mike is, if you had to make your Sophie's choice, who is it?
Me or Sheila?
Oh, I've really put him on the spot now.
No, I think it's an easy choice.
It's obviously me.
Let's speaking of David Menzies being the favorite, Anna Lisa, 1964, sends 10 bucks.
And for those of you who don't know, Anna Lisa has David Menzies in the bloodstream like a spike protein.
He's just swimming around there, doing all kinds of damage.
And she gives us 10 bucks and says, I sure have missed both of you.
Thank you, Anna Lisa.
That's nice.
She's wonderful.
She's the best.
World's Worst Gamer gives us a buck.
We read the ones that are under the value amounts sometimes.
World's Worst Gamer gives us a buck and says, thanks, Rebel News.
Well, you're welcome.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Fraser McBurney, Fight the Finds Recidivist from Hamilton.
Fight the Finds Victor, by the way.
Helped him with his protest tickets and the man loves his cat locks.
I don't know if his father's.
Does that mean he's still yelling?
I was going to say, I don't know if his keyboard is broken or if he's just super enthusiastic or if he just wants everybody to see what he's saying and making it stand out.
But he gives us five bucks and he says, fantastic news.
Every tree takes in 35 to 48 kilos of carbon a year.
How many trees are in Canada?
Over a billion trees.
Can we ditch the carbon tax and start selling carbon credits to the loonies?
You know, one time I sat down and actually figured out how much carbon is absorbed by the trees in this country based on the acreage of estimated trees in the boreal forest.
I don't know what I was doing that I didn't have something better to do, but I sat down and figured it out.
And we're obviously a carbon sink.
And the people who live on pavement and never leave the city, they might not know that most of this country is forested by the world's largest continuous forest, the boreal.
So I don't know, spread the news in Hamilton that we have lots of trees.
If you wouldn't mind, that'd be helpful.
Thanks.
And you know what, Sheila, to your point, I never fully understood how big this country was until I was working in Northeast Alberta and the publisher couldn't go on a fishing trip in the Northwest Territories.
So you fly out, I think it was to Hay River, and then you get on a bush plane and for hours and hours, you are flying over completely uninhabited forest.
And it was really a hell of a moment for me in terms of the sheer size of this nation.
So you're right.
If you're in some congested urban center living in a 800 square condominium, you don't get that appreciation until you get out of that congested urban center.
Yeah, we had an Australian on our Israel trip with us.
I'm not talking about Avi, but another gentleman who had said that he came to Canada one time.
He just rented a car and then just drove.
And he said he wanted to see just how big Canada was.
So he drove to Cold Lake, Bonneville area, and then just kept going north.
And he's like, there are no people for days and days and days.
All you see is trees and wildlife for days.
It like blew his mind.
Oh, wow.
Cracker Jill Emerges00:04:29
Yeah.
Anyway, let's keep going.
Fraser McBurney says, welcome back.
Fantastic reports from the Middle East.
Educational and fun.
Well, thank you.
I think I have one coming out today about an interview with the Muslim man in Dubai who with his own money, really, it just blew my mind, founded the Crossroads of Civilization Museum.
It's a private museum.
And the things I saw in there, like the Christian artifacts, the Jewish artifacts, there's a Holocaust museum part.
There's a part of the museum that forces people to remember the Jewish ties to the land of Israel because he's like, sometimes my people forget.
And like the Christian artifacts that you would, you can't even imagine that they're in a private collection, like a priest schism Bible he has.
It just, I just couldn't believe what I was seeing.
And because Dubai truly benefits from the Abraham Accord.
So this, it's for a dictatorship, surprisingly free and tolerant.
There is a different way forward for the Middle East other than poverty and war.
And Dubai shows us that.
100%.
Okay.
Kevin Tennant gives us two bucks.
I was in Walmart yesterday and saw a new product called Cracker Jill, as opposed to Cracker Jack.
No kidding.
You know what?
I took a picture of this a while ago.
It was on my Facebook, Cracker Jill, and I was like, okay, great.
We've solved the problem with misogyny.
Once again, we're being led the way by junk food, much the same way Hershey's forced Faye Johnstone into the common parlance of the nation.
Now Cracker Jill.
That's the thing.
Like I was, I was going to buy Cracker Jacks and just drive up my insulin with garbage, but then I said, no, I'm totally not.
But now they have Cracker Jill.
So now I'm going to like, who falls for this stuff?
My first question, Sheila, given the time in which we live, is Cracker Jill Cracker Jack's sister or just a different character in the Cracker nation?
Or has Cracker Jack transitioned into Cracker Jill?
Because if that's the case, holy Bud Light, holy Target.
Why can't these big corporations just once say, you know what?
For I assume for that confection, a century, a century we've been selling Cracker Jacks.
And for another century, we're going to sell Cracker Jacks.
And if you want to create your own confection called Something Jill, go for it.
But we're going to keep it as Cracker Jack.
But my question remains, Sheila.
Is this another character or has Jack become Jill?
Why can't they just make the garbage food and shut up?
That's what I don't understand.
Just feed us the garbage food and shut up.
Also, I'm reliably informed that Cracker is a racist term meant to denigrate white people.
Apparently, that is totally acceptable for Cracker Jack or whoever makes this.
You know, that's an excellent point.
For them, the objectionable thing was the fact that it was all male and not that it has this like anti-white connotation with the name.
Jeez, I think there's a monologue there somewhere, but you're right.
What could we use?
What could we use to replace Cracker?
How can we make that more politically correct?
Because you're right.
You know, Cracker is, you know, I mean, you know, in all honesty, I think the derogatory names for white people are really so lame.
They're boring.
You know, Cracker, Munga Cake, honky.
You know, if anyone was furious and was yelling at me and said, you honky, I think I would laugh how I would burst out laughing.
I would burst out laughing.
I would just think of the honky tonk man, right?
Yeah, I would be like, wait, where is this?
So, so two things.
I think we have to invent some really heinous term for white people because the current terms don't exist.
But if you were to replace Cracker, what would the word be?
Because I guess that's where this company is going down the road.
You're inviting a slew of racist comments.
Can you just not, David?
Inventing Heinous Terms00:01:27
We're done.
This is going nowhere good.
I think we have all the comments.
We'll go out on a clip from Ezra Levant.
We'll just sign off the show.
And then if our viewers want to stick around, we've got a clip of Ezra leaving the courtroom to meet with the protesters outside in support of Pastor Art.
David, if you wouldn't mind buttoning up the show.
100%.
Well, thank you so much for tuning in, folks, especially those who gave a donation.
It's how we do keep the power on here.
And of course, to our super producers, Efren and Olivia behind the board, and to my beloved co-host, Sheila Gunread.
I believe I am already on assignment tomorrow, folks, and I won't be here Wednesday either because of the Million Man protest.
So two other Rebel News employees shall be taking the reins tomorrow and nobody on Wednesday.
So I will see you back here, I presume, on Thursday.
And in the meantime, as always, stay safe and stay Stay sane.
