Sheila Gunn-Reid exposes how Canada’s Trudeau Liberals reclassified 1,900 shotgun/rifle models via an undemocratic 2020 Order in Council, forcing owners to surrender firearms by 2023 with compensation delayed until October 2025. Rick Igersich of the NFA warns of escalating bans—like the CZ858 and Ruger 1022—via extra-parliamentary decrees, risking a "police state," while Dominic LeBlanc hints at future restrictions. The Liberals prioritize messaging to universities, LGBTQ groups, and women’s advocates over gun owners, whom Igersich calls "play toys." Facing shadow bans under Bill C-11/C-18, the NFA offers a discounted VPN for members, urging resistance as polls show a potential conservative supermajority. [Automatically generated summary]
The Liberals quietly extended their so-called gun buyback program at the last minute.
Are the wheels falling off the Liberals' gun control agenda?
We'll talk about it today.
I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed, and you're watching The Gun Show.
Two weeks ago,
at really what appears to be the very last minute, the Liberals decided to extend their so-called amnesty period for gun owners who had not yet turned over their lawfully acquired firearms to the state for destruction after their firearms were just reclassified out of the ether through an order in council by the Liberal government.
In May 2020, Justin Trudeau, apropos of a tragedy not involving lawful Canadian gun owners, decided to reclassify 1,500 models of Canadian shotguns and rifles, calling them assault-style weapons, which is really a word that means nothing.
It's completely undefined.
And the Liberals like it that way, because that way you can continue to, as the Liberals did, shoehorn other models into the ban until, you know, now the ban approaches 2,000 models.
But what of the owners?
Well, the owners were supposed to, by the end of this month in 2023, turn over our firearms to the state, wherein the state would allegedly compensate us for the loss of our lawfully acquired property.
It was not a buyback program.
You can't buy back something you didn't own in the first place.
It was compensation for confiscation, as lawful Canadian gun owners were scapegoated for the crimes of other people, including the rising crime rates in Canada's urban municipalities.
And as you'll note, those urban municipalities are progressively run.
You know, name a major city in this country that isn't run by a progressive mayor.
I'll wait.
Anyway, at the last minute, the Liberals decided to extend their buyback program, buyback program, to October 2025.
If these guns are so deadly and people like me who may or may not own them are so dangerous, wouldn't you want to get them off the street right away?
Well, thanks to liberal ineptitude, they can't manage to figure it out.
So maybe we really aren't all that dangerous after all.
But this is just one way that the Liberals' gun control agenda is just coming apart at the seams.
So joining me today is good friend of Rebel News, good friend of the show, and good friend of the firearms community, Rick Igersich from Canada's National Firearms Association, talking about, well, just the complete and total mess that the Liberals are making of gun control in this country.
And I think, frankly, we should be glad that they're so bad at it.
Anyway, here's my interview with Rick.
Joining me now is Rick Igersich with the National Firearms Association.
There's so much happening in gun news as the Liberals are letting things just ride right down to the wire and they're proposing new gun bans and they're banning guns just completely off the cuff.
Rick, thanks for joining me and thanks for being such a good friend to Rebel News and to gun owners like myself.
I wanted to talk to you about this thing that sort of happened in the middle of last week regarding the Tavor.
Hi, Sheila.
Thanks for having me again.
It's always a pleasure to be on your show.
At the end of the day, we got blindsided by the RCMP once again.
On October 25th, actually on October 5th, the RCMP decided that they were going to ban another firearm.
And that firearm being Micro Tavor X95 MSW Carabine.
Okay, these guns were imported in Canada over the last 10 years.
There's several of them out in public.
We don't know the exact numbers because of privacy issues.
We have a rough idea, but there's several hundred of them out there.
But on October 5th, the owners of these firearms began receiving registrations, revocation letters prohibiting the firearm from the RCMP.
The RCMP actually, on further review, and I just got this intelligence a few days ago, they're calling the firearm a machine gun now, which is which is a classic RCMP, in my opinion, a make work project with the liberals.
But anyway, we'll get into it a little more.
As I mentioned earlier, what we can tell, there were several hundred of these firearms sold.
With this revocation, with this registration revocation letter, the RCMP gave the owners of these firearms some options.
They didn't give them all the options, but they gave them a few.
The NFA actually gave them another option, which I'll get into a little later.
The first option was to turn the firearm into your local RCMP detachment for destruction with no compensation.
Where does that sound familiar?
No compensation.
The second was to get the firearm verified or the firearm deactivated and verified so you could possess it.
So that process involved sending the firearm to a person who could deactivate it, and then it had to go to the firearm center in Ottawa to be verified that it was deactivated.
And in our opinion, in most cases, the firearm never would have been returned back to the owner because how can you absolutely 100% deact a firearm?
It's virtually impossible.
So that was the second option.
The third option was to take it back to the store where you purchased it.
The firearm would be sent back to the wholesaler.
The wholesaler would give a store credit to the wholesale price of the firearm, not the retail price, but the wholesale price of the firearm, not cash back, but a store credit to the initial point of purchase.
The problem with that is some of these firearms changed hands two or three times.
So therefore, this was only available to the original purchaser.
So that was the third option.
The fourth option brings us at Canada's National Firearms into play.
We launched this out over all our social media platforms that if you contact us, we can provide you with a package on how to file a Section 74 reference review.
This in turn extends the time that the firearms owner has to comply with the ultimatum from the RCMP.
And it also gives us time to delve deeper into this and possibly challenge this registration revocation.
So anybody out there that has one of these firearms, please contact us.
Actually, contact Blair.
The email is blair at nfa.ca, and we will provide you with a package on how to go about filing a section 74 reference review.
That will put your firearm basically in limbo for the time being until we can figure this out and figure out exactly what's going on.
In my opinion, this whole thing was another collaboration between the RCMP and the liberal government just to add another wedge issue to firearms owners.
So please, anybody that has one of these firearms out there, please contact us at blair at nfa.ca and we will provide you with a package on how to move forward with a section 94 reference review.
And that'll definitely prolong the time period from which you have to use one of the other three options.
So Rick, explain this for non-gun owners, because this is something that gun owners have been dealing with for a long time.
And I just want to be clear.
This sort of stuff puts gun owners at odds with their friends in the RCMP because the RCMP brass and busy bodies in the RCMP bureaucracy have decided to just, outside of parliament, reclassify a gun.
This happened previously with the CZ858.
Gun owners woke up.
They go to sleep.
They're completely on the right side of the law.
They wake up in the morning and they're a criminal in possession of a prohibited weapon.
Explain to people how this can happen to a gun owner because if this happened to any other piece of private property, there would be uproar.
But because this happens to guns and gun owners, nobody's, well, I won't say nobody seems to care, but it seems to be a bit of a niche issue for a lot of the Canadian population.
It goes beyond the 858.
They did it with the Ruger 1022 megs.
One day you're out shooting gophers with your Ruger 1022 with your 25-shot magazine, and the next day it's a prohibited device.
The RCMP has been given more powers than I believe they need to have.
It's almost like when the RCMP starts making laws, they're no longer a law enforcement body.
They're an agent for the government to create laws.
And in Canada, a police body doesn't make laws.
The government does.
So how they do this, it's again, again, it's the Liberal government giving them powers that should be going through parliament instead of through a local police force.
When a police force starts to make laws, the state becomes a police state, not a free Canadian, a free Canadian parliament.
It becomes a police state.
And right now, in my opinion, the RCMP are acting like we are in a police state making these laws out of the blue.
Now, they do have powers as far as working with the government to make changes to the Firearms Act and to the Firearms Reference Table.
But I believe stuff like this should be going through Parliament, not through the RCMP, not through a police force.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, this should be put to the people, and it should be done by people that we can hold accountable during elections.
And some anti-gun bureaucrat somewhere in the RCMP is making laws affecting Canadian gun owners and rendering our private property completely useless or of little to no value.
When you decommission a gun, well, where's its value?
That's exactly right.
Just like their order in counsel with a handgun freeze, they basically made millions and millions of dollars worth of property worthless overnight.
It's the same thing.
It's just it's an extension of powers that I don't believe should be there.
And I think, well, you know what?
At the end of the day, we need a government change.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And someone who will strip the bureaucrats and the RCAP of this power.
I know members of the RCMP who don't want the RCMP to have this power.
These are the guys tasked with enforcing bad laws and they don't want to do it.
It puts them at odds with their community and they end up being the face of bad decisions made by somebody in a cubicle somewhere who never has to face people like you or like me, Rick.
I want to talk to you about other bad liberal decisions.
I know we've just sort of touched on it.
The reclassification of 1,500, although that quickly grew.
I think it's near 2,000 models of Canadian shotguns and rifles.
And the liberals continue to add to that list.
They did it undemocratically through an order in council.
And they said to us, turn over your guns.
Maybe you'll get compensated appropriately.
And you're a criminal if you don't.
But the liberals, thankfully, their own ineptitude has resulted in this thing being pushed down the road until October 2025.
Explain to us how that happened.
Well, that happened for a number of reasons.
The first one, there was nothing in place.
You know, no logistics.
There's nothing in place to start these conferences, to start this alleged confiscation.
It's not alleged.
It's definitely to start this confiscation of firearms.
Number two, there is no money really allotted to do this because they really don't know how much money they need because a lot of these firearms aren't registered.
They're out there.
And they really don't know how much money they really need.
The third issue was after SECU and Bill C-21 and the order in council in 71, it was actually driving the liberal popularity down.
And I think that was a big part of it.
So they had no other choice but to extend it.
With that said, I know with our order in council case that the NFA is funding, we were advised quite some time before that there will be an extension.
I know other groups filed an injunction, but our lawyer advised us not to because the injection, Justice Kane and the federal crown had told him that there was an amnesty extension in place.
It just hadn't been activated yet.
So at the NFA, we didn't want to waste any members' resources as far as filing an injunction because injunctions are expensive.
There's no doubt about it.
Talking Circles and Extensions00:03:20
We'd sooner use the money where it can actually help reverse some of this stuff.
So that's why I just wanted to clarify that's why the NFA didn't file an injunction.
It was on our lawyer's advice and on Justice Kane and the federal crown that there definitely was going to be there was going to be an extension put into place and all parties involved in the case were notified of that.
The big reason is, and again, I go back to the big reason is the liberals have nothing in place to do any of this.
I know they're running into a few snags with a couple of the provinces.
Actually, Terry Bryant and Rob Freeberg yesterday in SecD actually stated that, again, that they're not going to use provincial resources to help them do this.
And I totally agree with that.
Those are two CFOs that are really pushing on the right side of things and are really pushing for firearms owners.
And I thank them both for doing what they're doing.
But at the end of the day, like I say, there's nothing in place to keep this going.
And the irony of this whole thing is also, if this amnesty, the current amnesty would have expired, that would have left the liberals in a really awkward place because at the end of the day, they probably would have had to withdrew the whole thing.
So that was another reason they extended it.
If it would have expired, I believe, you know, that the thing would have been null and void because they didn't act on it.
So that was the other reason that it probably got extended.
You know, and they left it right down to the wire.
Like people were very concerned that they would have been criminals because they didn't turn in their guns, but there was no program in place for them to turn in their guns.
And it seemed like the liberals didn't care because we're just these people that would never vote for them anyway.
You almost think they did that on purpose just to wind people up.
They had a lot of time.
They knew what they were doing long before they extended the amnesty.
But I think it's part of their MO is to get people excited and thinking and maybe change some votes and stuff.
But I think that's the way, and you know it just as well as I know it.
That's the way that the liberals work.
They bring anxiety up in people and then at the 11th hour, they change things.
And that's been their MO all along.
They're merchants of fear.
That's how they govern.
That's how they impose legislation.
That's how they get people to comply.
They are absolute merchants of fear.
That's how they justified the OIC, the Order and Council in the first place.
They pitted urban Canadians and Canadians who don't know anything about guns against people who enjoy part of their hunting heritage and enjoy the lawful use and ownership of their legally acquired property.
They made us the bad guys because they didn't want to deal with the real bad guys.
Yeah.
LeBlanc's Ground-Level Testimony00:02:37
Well, you know, and at SecD, LeBlanc, he was talking in circles again yesterday, too.
He just, you know, they put him in as the cleanup guy, and he was talking in circles.
You know, he was bringing in the people of the North to, you know, that there's going to be a different rule for them and, you know, and then, you know, maybe pass it on to the provinces and let the provinces decide how they're going to handle this these bill, this, this changes in the law.
You know, the guy was just talking in circles.
He didn't really know what he was talking about.
And in my opinion, anything he said wasn't credible.
You know, it's almost like he knows what's going on, but he doesn't.
I don't know.
That's the feeling I was getting.
With that said, on Thursday, November 2nd, I will be giving testimony at SECD regarding C-21.
I'm going to approach it a little different than everybody else does.
I'm going to approach it as a layman.
I'm not an academic.
I'm not a lawyer.
I'm not a politician.
I'm going to speak to the Senate as somebody that this affects, somebody on the ground, somebody that has heirlooms that are third generation heirlooms.
I'm going to put it, I'm going to put it to him as a layman because, you know, we get a bunch of academics and lawyers and stuff giving testimony.
And it just, I think, in my opinion, it confuses the Senate.
I think it needs to be clear and simple.
And I'm willing to field any questions they have for me because, you know, the facts don't change and the facts don't lie.
Yeah.
You know, I'm so glad that you're going to approach it that way because, you know, you can get caught up in, you know, the science of ballistics and crime studies, but none of that has anything to do with me or you as a lawful user, really.
We're not the ones committing the crimes.
It doesn't matter the ballistics of my heirloom firearm that my ancestors used to clear the land and protect their livestock where I live today.
And I will not be able to give those to my children.
The heirlooms die with me.
And there's, you know, to have somebody who's willing to communicate that on behalf of, you know, just people like me, just normal people who just want to be able to hang on to a little bit of their family history.
So many of us can't do that.
I want to just circle back to Dominic LeBlanc's testimony here because, you know, you said he was just sort of making things up as he went.
Now, Dominic LeBlanc, the public safety minister.
Why Gun Owners Are Last00:02:48
One thing he said was very, very true, though, and it should frighten gun owners.
And it is the potential for, not the potential, the promise of a future decree of more guns being banned.
He promised that in his testimony yesterday.
So whatever happens with Bill C-21, whatever happens with the ordering council, the fight is nowhere near done because no matter how many times the liberals lose in court, how many times they have to kick the can down the road of the compensation program, they're still coming at us because this is part of who they are.
It's part of the liberal DNA.
Wow.
And there comes their firearms advisory committee into play.
Now, this is supposedly supposed to be comprised of people from all parts of the government and the firearms world.
We at the NFA applied for it.
We haven't heard anything back yet.
I doubt very much they want to hear our opinion on this stuff.
Everybody knows at the end of the day, this is going to be comprised of bureaucrats, politicians, and lawyers.
And they're going to follow the liberal wave without any input from people like you and I, Sheila.
Oh, and women's groups, women's groups, but no women's groups that involve women like me, but women's groups who advocate for the disarming of women like me.
That'll be one thing.
You know, Rick, now that we're talking about this, I'm going to flip you some documents.
We're recording this on Tuesday.
The show will go out on Wednesday, but I have a story going live today.
I got my hands on the communications strategy for Bill C-21 and their targeted social media plan.
And guess who the first, like they had the groups divided into like primary, secondary, and tertiary that the liberals planned to communicate with.
Primary, Polytechnique, right?
Yeah, Polytechnique, LGBTQ organizations like EGAL and women's groups.
Those were the three on the top of the list.
Second group, the RCMP and law enforcement, they were trying to get the chiefs of police on side with them.
And it's funny how the people tasked with enforcing the bad law were the people that the second people they wanted to talk to, not the first.
And then the tertiary groups were the people they described as least affected by the messaging, gun groups and gun owners.
We were the third on their list of considerations.
We were just like sort of like the pencil in.
And it shows.
It shows in the legislation.
There's no surprise there.
There's absolutely no surprise there.
You know, that's to be expected.
People Like Rebel News00:13:59
I've been at this for a little while now, and I've been finding that gun owners from across Canada, law-abiding Canadians, are the liberals' play toys.
They use us to get what they need.
When there's an election coming up, the big, bad gun stuff comes out.
When they're down in the polls, the big, bad gun stuff comes up.
On the other hand, sometimes they mess up like the SECU, where they were put on the spot and they were caught in a bunch of lies and it works against them.
And guess what happens?
I don't know if you noticed or not, but the gun issue seems to go way down in the list, which it has in the last few weeks after the changes were made after Mendocino got moved, after Pam Damoff was taken off public safety.
And it's groups like ours that catch them in these lies and we put it out there.
And that makes a big difference because we have a pretty extensive reach, which now seems like we're being shadow banned.
For sure.
And lately we've been shadow banned.
And with C11 and C18 coming into force, it's hurting organizations that are actually getting the truth out there.
It's another containment ploy by the liberals to control mainstream media.
And you know what?
They're really good at it.
Give mainstream media lots of money and you've got a really good hold of them.
So I'm sure you guys at Rebel are seeing the same thing, Sheila.
And, you know, it's just it there's, you know, it's hard.
It's hard these days to get the truth out.
I know, and I just want to bring, I just want to mention this, and I know you guys are doing the same thing.
We're going to be offering a VPN so people can actually receive Canadian news through a different country.
It seems in today's world, it's the only way that we can get the word out because, like I say, on our platforms, we're definitely being shadow banned.
And any news that we want to share, we can't share in Canada because of Bill C11 and C18.
So I don't know if you wanted to touch more on that, Sheila, but that's the crazy part of today's world.
Yeah.
Where can people find out more about your VPN?
On the NFA website?
Yeah, we haven't put it out yet.
This is kind of an early release.
We're just working on it.
We're just finalizing it right now.
It will be on the NFA website.
It will be offered at a discounted price so people can hear the news.
I think it's just the way this is the world is a crazy place right now.
And Canada is a more crazy place, in my opinion.
And this is the only way we can reach people that can make a difference.
And right now we have to make a difference.
Every time I have one of these shows with you, and I always say, get out and vote and change the government.
But now get out and write a letter to your MP.
We need to get the word out as far as law-abiding Canadians go.
Get the word out to your MP.
Tell them what the government is doing to you, what the government is doing to your right to listen to Canadian news.
Get the word out.
People need to sit down and start working on this.
And I know lately at the NFA, we've been getting a crazy number of calls from gun owners and non-gun owners alike and saying, what's going on with our personal property?
Why can't we see anything?
We're on your platforms and all of a sudden we're getting all these blank, these blanks that this content isn't available in Canada.
What's going on?
And, you know, we're inundated with calls about that stuff.
And it's just not us.
It's people like Rebel News that are getting the same thing.
I'm sure, Sheila.
I'm sure.
I can't see my own work.
For example, I can't share a clip of my own work to my own Instagram page thanks to Justin Trudeau's attempted shakedown of Meta.
Yeah.
So, you know, and with all this stuff going on in the firearms world, this information, you know, this tavor thing, it needs to get out.
But how do you get it out when you're getting blocked on every platform that you have?
You know, it's so hopefully this show gets out and hopefully people, you know, do put a VPN on their, it's a sad state of affairs when you have to go through U.S. or Czechoslovakia to hear Canadian news.
It's a sad state of affairs in Canada.
And hopefully people will see that on our website and hopefully they'll get a VPN so they can actually hear what we're doing at the NFA and hear what you people at Rebel News are doing.
You know, that's a good spot to wrap up the interview because like you, we are able to email our people directly and that helps us get around Justin Trudeau's censorship.
But the only way for the NFA to be able to email you directly is if you give them your email address and you sign up with them.
So tell people how they can support the work that you are doing at the NFA on behalf of law-abiding Canadians all across this country.
Reach out to us at nfa.ca, info at nfa.ca.
Everything that you need to know about joining and helping and getting news.
We do a media blast once a week.
When you join, you'll be getting that once a week.
Please join.
Please become a member.
The money goes towards the fight in Ottawa.
NFA is a non-for-profit organization.
We have a few paid employees, but most of the people are volunteers.
And, you know, help.
We need to get into this fight.
We need to get more people in the fight.
So please join the NFA.
Like I say, your money is going towards the good fight.
Our membership is growing at a crazy rate right now.
A lot of our members aren't even firearms owners, but they are joining us because of the fight for the rights and freedoms of Canadians.
So please join.
Another thing, like I said before, write a letter to your MP.
Let them know how you feel on what's going on.
And number three, when this election finally does come about, get out and vote and get rid of these Trudeau liberals.
Right now, I was looking at Canada 338 polls.
Right now, if there were an election today, it'd be a conservative supermajority.
So, you know, the Liberals are liberals are losing ground every day.
Please help them lose more ground and get into the fight.
Oh, Rick, that's great.
That's great advice.
I don't care who you vote for, just as long as you don't vote for a liberal.
Exactly.
Honestly.
Well, Rick, thanks so much for coming on the show.
Thanks for the activism and hard work that you put in for families just like mine.
Best of luck in your fight with Ottawa.
Seems like there's always something new to fight with Ottawa about.
And we'll have you back on again very soon.
Thanks, Sheila.
Thanks for having me again.
now you love being on your show well friends we've come to the portion of the show wherein i invite your viewer feedback I say it every week, so I know if you're a regular viewer, it might get a little redundant.
But I actually care about what you think about the work that we do here at Rebel News.
And I appreciate your viewer feedback, even the bad stuff, because it gives me an opportunity to answer criticisms.
And sometimes the criticisms are valid.
And, you know, we can make things better.
And it also gives me an opportunity to tell you why I think the way that I do.
You know, if you have an opinion and you can't defend it, then it's maybe not an opinion at all, but rather just an act of faith that you believe that way.
And it's the reason I give out my email address right now.
It's sheila at rebelnews.com.
Put gunshow letters in the subject line so that I can find it easily because sometimes I do get upwards of like 100 emails a day, depending on what sort of controversial or sometimes nonsensical off the cuff thing that I said.
So anyways, gun show letters in the subject line, Sheila at rebelnews.com.
But also, if you are watching us on one of the free versions of the show on Rumble or YouTube, first, let me thank you for sitting through the ads.
That helps us pay the bills around here.
But also, leave a comment in the comment section.
Sometimes I get brave and go looking through the comment section over there for your viewer feedback.
Now, today's viewer feedback, it came to me as a gun show letter, but it really had nothing to do with the show that I did last week.
And that is perfectly fine.
That's okay.
Because it gives me an opportunity to answer a viewer question, which I have been seeing a lot of, this particular question.
So it comes to me from Steve.
And Steve says, well, Steve starts off with the HR practice of putting the criticism in the middle of a compliment sandwich.
So anyway, let's read Steve's letter to me.
Hi, Sheila.
Love your work and your show and Rebel News.
My name is Steve from Alliston, Ontario.
You know what?
I have cousins in Alliston.
I donated when you went overseas to drop off petition to help our country in trouble.
That was awesome.
Okay, so that was when I went with Sarah Miller, our lawyer helping Pastor Art Peloski, and we drafted a human rights complaint and we delivered it to Geneva, to the United Nations human rights people to raise awareness about the plight of pastors and religious freedom here in Canada.
So we did that, but it's all we could do, right?
Anyway, thank you for donating to help us do that.
That was a tough 72 hours.
I think I slept like 45 minutes.
It was just like, try to get from Edmonton all the way to Geneva, have a shower, wash the airport grime off, go to the United Nations, film Sarah dropping it off, do a quick little interview with Sarah, then go try to sleep a few hours, but that didn't work because I was on Ezra's show to talk about our work.
And then I called some people who were interested in my work while I was there.
And then I went and ran around the old part of Geneva, quite literally ran around.
I went for a run to help me with the jet leg.
And then I came all the way home.
Anyway, thank you for making that possible.
But Steve asks a question that I have been seeing a lot of.
And so I'm happy to clear things up.
Now I keep getting calls from strange phone numbers saying, Ezra Levant and Rebel News asked me to call you for money.
Is this a legit call or are they scammers?
I've sent Rebel News many emails about this.
I'm very sorry.
I get a lot of emails about this, but have got no response.
Your reply would be greatly appreciated.
Take care.
Again, love your work.
See, there's the bottom part of the compliment sandwich with the criticism in the middle.
The criticism is the meat.
Anyway, love your work and Rebel News, truthful news.
So if you are getting phone calls, yes, those are people who are reaching out to you on behalf of us here at Rebel News because they're, I mean, in the time of Justin Trudeau's immense censorship.
We want to make sure that we stay connected with you.
And if you like the work that we do, you know, we don't take any money from Justin Trudeau.
We rely on the support of our viewers at home to keep the lights on, to keep the gun show going, and to help us in what I think is a bit of a ministry, like the real ministry of truth, where the truth is actually the truth and not the lies in, you know, in the story of Orwell.
So yes, those are legitimate people calling on behalf of Rebel News to say, hey, if you like us, would you mind helping us to keep going?
And so I'm glad that you reached out to me.
I'm glad I was able to provide some clarity.
I know a lot of people are concerned because that's not something that we normally do.
But, you know, maybe you don't read all the emails that we send you.
And I understand I don't read all the emails we send me either.
So I get it.
So some people would rather have a phone call.
Sometimes our emails end up in your spam folder.
And we just thought maybe we'll try a different way to talk to our friends and supporters.
So yes, that is us.
I'm glad I could answer that question for you, Steve.
And thank you for your kind words about the work that we do here at Rebel News.
Without you, Steve, there is no Rebel News.
So I appreciate that.
And I'm also so glad that so many people are so protective of us that you would reach out and say like, oh my gosh, there are people out there calling me and using your name.
Is it you?
And that makes me happy that you are so protective of what we are and what we do.
So thank you for that.
Well, everybody, that is the show for tonight.
Thank you so much for tuning in.
I'll see everybody back here in the same time, in the same place next week.
