Rebel News’ David Menzies and Sheila Gunn Reed dissect a synagogue firebombing in Montreal, CUPE leader Fred Hahn’s Hamas-linked "false apology," and a Jewish senior’s death during protests near Los Angeles—challenging media framing of violence as "peaceful." They critique Yara Sachs for Nazi associations, compare powerlifter April Hutchinson’s suspension to transgender athlete controversies, and expose Catherine McKenna’s alleged Paris Accord misogyny claims. Meanwhile, they mock Canada’s $2B consultant efficiency plan and defend Saskatchewan’s Bill 39 on Remembrance Day poppy rights, questioning why such protections are needed while unions enable pro-Hamas activism. The episode blends news, fundraising for Rebel’s Caribbean cruise (March 23–30), and live events like Calgary’s Rebel Live (Nov. 18) with Ben Shapiro and Avi Yamin. [Automatically generated summary]
You have tuned into the daily roundup on this, say Tuesday, November 7th, 2023.
I'm David Menzies and my co-host.
Well, let me tell you a bit about my co-host.
Do you know what, folks?
Today is National Hug a Bear Day.
My co-host will not be partaking in that.
It's not that she's afraid of bears.
It's just that she wonders, have we already forgotten the lessons of the Me Too movement?
She is the she-devil with a sword.
She is the Khaleesi of Northern Alberta.
She is Sheila Gunn Reed.
How you doing there, Sheila?
David, it's great.
And I'm glad that the band's back together for a little bit.
Yes.
Yeah, it's also National Keith Day, National Lorry Day, a bunch of people whose birthdays, a bunch of people whose names I've never heard of.
Apparently, it's their birthday today.
And next year, today is Election Day for the Americans, Decision Day.
And by the way, I understand the NBA is observing National Election Day, even though there is no election on this.
No, I swear there's no game scheduled.
It's all about, you know, get active in your community and whatnot.
But I didn't hear the other one.
National Lorry Day, did you say?
Lorry, as in the name of a lady, not how the UK describes like cube vans, I think is what a lorry is there.
I think that's what the.
It's a truck.
Okay.
I thought it was more like a cargo van, maybe.
I don't know.
Oh, okay.
I don't know why they don't call it trucks, but yeah, National Lorry Day, National Keith Day.
No offense to the Keiths out there.
What's that?
Go ahead.
I was just going to say no offense to the Keiths out there, but that name hits my ear the same way the word moist does.
I don't know why.
You know, it's amazing our heritage, so much of it is derived from the UK, Sheila, because when I go over to the UK as a Canadian, not only are there so many different words and spellings of words that we have here, but that English accent, I mean, I once got, you know, the eye of a security guard.
I think I stepped somewhere I wasn't supposed to.
No, not you, David.
Not you.
No.
But he said, he yelled at me, Sheila.
He went, oi, get your arse out of here.
I went, what?
He says, get your arse out of here.
I said, my horse?
I swear I thought he was saying horse.
How did, how did ass become arse and vice versa?
I mean, like, I don't know.
It's like going to Newfoundland and you're like, are we?
I think we're speaking the same language, but I don't know what a car bonnet is or why they use that word there.
I do know what a car bonnet is.
I just don't understand why they don't call it a hood.
Anti-Hate Network Silence00:15:25
Let's get into the news of the day.
Tell everybody what we're doing before I get angry letters from half of Fort Saskatchewan, which also tends to be newfies.
Anyways, this is the Rebel News daily roundup.
It's hosted by rotating cast of characters.
Today, David Menzies and I are your characters, wherein we talk about the news of the day, as you can obviously tell, completely unscripted.
And sometimes we just take the news as it comes at us and we will comment on it as best as we can with the information that we have.
So with that, I suppose warning there.
I'll tell you how you can get involved in what we're doing here.
So we are broadcasting on YouTube, but YouTube is a censorship platform.
So we are also broadcasting on Rumble and on Odyssey.
And if you want to support the work that we do, while we allow you to democratize the show a little bit, you can leave us a paid chat on Odyssey.
It's called a hyper chat on Rumble.
It's called a Rumble rant.
And it's your chance to have your say while supporting the little network that could.
So if you leave a paid chat of more than $5 US, we are obligating ourselves to read it on air and comment, but don't let that be the barrier for entry or participation.
So quite frequently, we read chats that are under that amount or even free chats that we find interesting.
So we hope to hear from you very, very soon.
David, let's get into the news of the day.
This thing that just broke this morning: a Jewish community outraged after suspected arson in Montreal area synagogue.
You know, Sheila, I wish I could pick NFL games with the same kind of accuracy with what I predicted regarding these pro-Hamas demonstrations we see going on every weekend in Canada.
And today, by the way, significant date, November 7th, that's exactly one month since the horrific barbarism and savagery took place in Israel.
And I made the prediction, I think it was something like two weeks ago, that the more the police turn a blind eye to charging people who I think go over the line, i.e.,
calling for the death of an individual or a group of individuals, the more our political leaders hide their heads in the sand and don't come out strongly against anti-Semitism, which is just absolutely baffling to me, the more emboldened the mob becomes.
And, you know, in fairness, we don't know who set the fiery or the fire rather of this Jewish cemetery, a synagogue rather.
But I think I will kind of, you know, bet the wrench on who it probably was.
And Sheila, I just see it getting worse and worse every week.
The big buzz, not to go off on a tangerine here, but the big buzz this weekend is Remembrance Day falls on Saturday, November the 11th.
And it's typically Saturdays and Sundays where the pro-Hamas people come out and rant and rave and call out the death of Jews and the destruction of Israel.
And there is buzz out there, and I hope it doesn't come to fruition, that in certain Western cities, they're going to target the Remembrance Day ceremonies.
They've already desecrated the cenotaphs, including one here in Toronto on the north lawn of Queen's Park.
And again, without knowing all the details of this Montreal area synagogue, my point, Sheila, is the more law enforcement turns a blind eye to this and the more our political leaders remain silent, the worse this is going to get.
Yeah, just to be clear, this is at a synagogue that is in suburban Montreal.
It's the Beth Tikva synagogue.
The building was empty.
Nobody was hurt.
The SPVM, that's the Montreal Police.
They're aware and investigating.
I think there will probably be an arrest, and here's why.
Because normally synagogues have increased security.
And so they probably have surveillance.
And that is just unfortunately the way it is for many synagogues is that they have video surveillance.
A lot of times they have reinforced doors.
I know the one in Edmonton does, and own their own private security.
And so I bet you we're going to hear about an arrest very, very soon.
But I was talking to Yankee, and he says this is just a symptom of what's happening in this community.
It was already not great and being made worse by the absolute mainstreaming of Hitlerian rhetoric on Canadian streets.
I was at the, I forget it.
I think it's called the 100,000 March for Gaza in Edmonton over the weekend.
I just sort of popped in to see what horrors I could behold.
And I was sort of struck with the location of it all.
Not that it was in downtown Edmonton across from City Hall, Edmonton being a progressive hellscape.
That's nothing new.
But it was that it was in Churchill Square and right in front of the war memorial.
And that was what really bothered me because Churchill was a man who rallied the world against the horrors of Nazism, a principled man.
And here I was in this place where they were calling now for the extermination of the state of Israel all these years later.
And they're standing on the war memorial to shout these genocidal cries of from the river to the sea.
And I thought, what on earth has happened in Canada when they say never again?
Well, never again.
It's now.
It's now.
And yet, this was happening in Churchill Square.
100%, Sheila.
I think it's tragic that, well, the state of Israel has advised Jews the world over not to, I guess, flaunt their Jewishness, not to wear the haberdashery associated with Judaism.
And this is not Berlin 1938.
This is Western cities in 2023.
And you're quite right, Sheila.
Never again.
That is the model that came out of the Holocaust.
Who could imagine that in a period of time in which we still have some Holocaust survivors, it's happening again?
It's not never again.
It's maybe again right now.
And, you know, and by the way, I want to, I think the last time we hosted the live stream, you correctly asked the rhetorical question: where is the anti-hate network in regards to this?
Well, Sheila, I have an answer for you and the rest of our audience.
I was passed along this from Twitter or X, as we call it.
Someone named Ariella wrote the following: It's been a month since the terrorist attack on Israelis.
This is the first post from anti-hate since then.
I know your views because I've grown up knowing you, but it's not just me calling this out.
That's from Ariella directed to Bernie Farber.
And this is what Bernie Farber responds.
Okay.
If you talk about the most hateful thing happening in the world today, especially on weekends, it's all of these pro-Hamas demonstrations.
And Bernie Farber writes, Ariala, anti-hate.ca focuses on the extreme right.
That is what it does.
I wish we had the resources to do more.
We just don't.
Holy cannoli, Sheila, where do you start?
And his account is locked.
So nobody who doesn't follow him and he who he hasn't permitted to follow him, they can't see this.
But so we have calls to genocide on Canadian streets.
And these guys are like, actually, those jokes at Diagalon are who we need to focus our resources at.
Or painting anybody, again, to the right of Chairman Mao as the extreme right.
They've got all the time in the world to ruin reputations of normal people who just disagree with Justin Trudeau, but they can't call out real hate.
These guys are an absolute joke.
It's unbelievable.
And you know, Sheila, we also have South of the Border, Joe Biden always defaulting to the FBI's recommendation that the most profound source of potential terrorism is from far-right groups such as neo-Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan.
Now, don't get me the wrong idea, folks.
I'm not going to bat for those organizations.
These are the most odious people you can come across.
But do you think in the here and now, this is where the biggest potential terrorism is going to come from?
Losers with Nazi groups and the KKK.
I would say, Sheila, as we talk about the U.S., with the millions of illegals that have come through the southern border, you don't think there might be some nefarious terrorist types, do you?
You don't think there might be some cells right now.
You don't think they might be planning another October 7th or a September 11th on U.S. soil.
I mean, how naive do you have to be?
I can't believe the cowardice, Sheila, whether it's the politicians or the so-called anti-hate networks, which I seem to be, it seems to me they're full of hatred, Sheila, if you fit the right demographics, but they won't call out actual calls to death of a group of people and of a nation state.
And Bernie Farber, correct me if I'm wrong, he is Jewish, isn't he?
I think ethnically, probably.
But, you know, these anti-hate network guys who are funded by Justin Trudeau, by the way, I'm curious if they had anything to say about when Justin Trudeau dusted off one of the few remaining actual SS soldiers remaining on the face of the earth and applauded him with a hero's welcome in the House of Commons.
They say they focus on the far right.
Well, that brother is far right.
Did they have anything to say about this?
No, because their paymaster was the guy who did it.
Anyway, we should move on because speaking of people beholden to their paymasters, I noticed this yesterday from CBC.
Let's show this headline.
Police charge man for hate crime towards religious leaders.
Oh, what kind of religious leaders, Sheila?
Oh, I had to go to an entirely different network to find out who it was.
Suspect arrested after allegedly or alleged threatening phone call made, police say.
You could have put against rabbi there and still not have had too wordy of a subheadline.
Again, Ottawa police say they've charged a man after a religious leader threatened just a generic religious leader.
Oh, yeah.
Could have been, yeah, could have been one of those self-help gurus at the United Church for all CBC would have you believe.
The incident was reported Friday and police say in a news release that the suspect was arrested over the weekend after an investigation.
We don't have a name of the 29-year-old man, by the way.
Isn't that odd that we don't have a name of the 29-year-old man?
This isn't a minor.
We should normally report the name of the person charged with hate-motivated offenses.
Let's keep going.
Still don't know who it was.
We just get through the entire article and we still don't know who the rando religious leader was.
Well, I had to go to a completely other news source to find out that it was a rabbi.
Right.
And tell me this, Sheila.
total speculation had the rabbi being an imam who was the job hoax yeah Every time I see this stuff, I think of the hijab hoax, right?
The hate crime that wasn't.
And Justin Trudeau weighed in and said, oh my goodness, somebody tugged on a little girl's hijab and this is a sign of hate in this country.
It was a hoax, but even the prime minister weighed in on this.
A rabbi can get assaulted or have threatening phone calls made to him and nobody can even identify the man as a rabbi.
That's a bridge too far, let alone identify the name of the 29-year-old man who did it.
But Sheila, does it really come as a surprise?
This is the same welfare-funded news outlet, the CBC, that refuses to call Hamas terrorists terrorists.
They're militants.
I'm wondering, and I always wonder, do you think maybe militant, do you think that's too pejorative language for the CBC?
Why don't we just call them protesters or demonstrators?
You know, water it down even further.
But when you have people disgruntled activists, you know, like what let's just make it so that they just have a grudge that's not being addressed, because that's how CBC is dealing with this in the most sterile and disconnected language, hiding what the real motives are.
100%.
No, this is absolutely outrageous.
Fred Hahn On Resistance00:15:13
And I see we have an ad break before we go on to some more shenanigans in terms of the pro-Hamas demonstrators and actually some blowback.
There are QP members that are launching a human rights claim against the union for promoting anti-Semitism.
And yeah, that's what it is, folks.
They don't even hide it anymore.
They are proud of their anti-Semitism.
Let's talk about those two stories on the other side of this ad break.
Hey, Ben Shapiro here.
This November, the Wilberforce Project is bringing me to Canada.

Know your rights, know your freedoms.
So Sheila, as we teased before the break, I'm very interested in this action against QP.
I wish it was happening in front of a real court, not a kangaroo court, like a human rights tribunal.
But remember, the Ontario leader of QP, Fred Hahn, he was, he couldn't, the bodies weren't even cold yet from the October 7th massacre in Israel.
He couldn't wait to get on Twitter and talk about up with the resistance.
Yeah, the resistance, like really, more than 1,400 Israelis savagely massacred, more than 4,200 injured, more than 200 kidnapped, including elderly people and children, even a nine-month-old infant.
That's a resistance.
Sad thing is, Sheila, I understand this guy has been re-endorsed by the membership.
But if you are a Jew who is a member of CUPE, I'm really upset if this is where my union dues are going.
How about you?
Yeah, so we can go back a little bit to explain what happened here, but Fred Hahn, as you pointed out, he QP Ontario, I think it is.
QP Ontario.
And he, you know, came out with, you know, support of the resistance.
Okay, so butchering 1,400 innocent Israelis and then taking another 220 hostage back to Gaza, where their conditions are unknown.
That for him is fruitful resistance that might bring progress.
And that's what he was thankful for on Thanksgiving.
Just a horrendous individual, a ghoul, if you will.
And QP Ontario came out in support of him, if I recall correctly.
And I remember Ezra saying at the time, imagine being a Jew in this union.
And that's the thing.
In Canada, we don't have right to work legislation.
So if you are in a unionized workplace and unfortunately you're represented by CUPE and the ghouls in the upper echelons of CUPE, this is what you got to deal with.
And so you don't have a choice.
Your union dues go to pay salaries of the guys like Fred Hahn and the people who ran cover for him.
And so 30 members now of Canada's largest union have filed a human rights complaint alleging that CUPE has engaged in systemic discrimination and promoted anti-Semitism that isolates its Jewish members.
You better believe it.
Carrie Silverberg, a QP member of 17 years, you know, and this is, we got to be gracious with these people because these people are on the cusp of being baby conservatives.
So when people get disgruntled with their union, welcome them with open arms.
She said she's endured years of mental anguish in the union, particularly when she took on an executive position in a local and started attending conventions nearly a decade ago.
Imagine what she saw there.
She said she felt isolated and alone.
And she said that anti-Semitism encouraged after her concerns that anti-Semitism was encouraged in the union were silenced.
She said her wound only deepened when QP Ontario President Fred Hahn responded with a celebratory post about the power of resistance.
She said it made me cry and it made me sick.
He apologized on October 21st.
Sort of.
But sort of.
He said the timing was wrong.
Not that he didn't feel that it was appropriate resistance, but the timing was all wrong.
She called it a false apology.
She's actually reach out to Fred Hahn, who is ignoring her.
She said that the boycott divestment and sanctions, so BDS movement is prejudice and discrimination.
And she's being represented by a really good lawyer, Catherine Marshall.
And so, anyways, I can't wait to see how this shakes out in court.
Because this is exactly what Ezra said.
He said, imagine a Jew being forced to pay union dues to this union that would defend the likes of Fred Hahn.
Here we are.
I can't wait to see it.
I love to see it.
And Sheila, let me tell you this.
Ms. Silverberg and the other 30 people that put their names to this, this is what makes them incredibly brave because Ms. Silverberg thought she endured mental anguish before this lawsuit.
I predict she hasn't seen anything yet.
Unions like QP are notorious for retaliation.
They are notorious for going after whistleblowers for those not towing the ideological union line.
So there will be retribution.
You mark my words.
So if I'm that group of people, I would even question: is my job worth it?
I mean, if you have a skill set that's portable, I would get out of that viper's pit as soon as possible.
I would make them get rid of me.
I would.
I would stay there just to be annoying, but that's the kind of person I am.
But yeah, when you are experiencing years of mental anguish and discrimination, it's about damn time.
It's just sad that it had to be Fred Hahn's despicable October 7th comments that were the breaking point.
It should have been much sooner, probably.
It's just now everybody in the whole country knows what a ghoul Fred Hahn is.
And so, you know, these 30 workers have a lot more support now than they thought they had.
Which, and as you point out, this is a thing in federal unions because we have this tweet here from Brian Passifum, who works for the National Post, one of the good guys over there.
I really like Brian.
He points out that it's just not just QP Ontario, the public servants of Canada.
So these are your government bureaucrats.
Again, good people grinding it out inside the gears of the machine, but this is your union, you guys.
Canadian government workers are planning to take part in Thursday's global shutdown for Palestine.
So, and they're telling you exactly how to do it: how to participate in the national shutdown for Palestine.
So, they say it means calling for a ceasefire and an end to the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza.
Wonder why there's a humanitarian crisis in Gaza with all those aid dollars flowing in.
You'd think that they would have just food stacked up everywhere.
I guess they do.
It's just in the hands of Hamas.
So, they actually plot away about how to use vacation, sick leave, personal days.
They actually thought about that.
They said those are not the right way to do this.
They are telling their members to ask for one-day leave without pay, which seems possible under the collective agreement.
So, they're telling people how to take to the streets in support of terrorism.
This is these are the Canadian public sector union employees.
Oh, Sheila, that without pay part, that might put the keybos on this walkout.
That's the only good part.
You know, like, what?
I don't get paid for this kind of activism.
Uh, no, it's absolutely dreadful.
It shows you, you know, what we've seen post-October 7th, Sheila, in terms of academia and the union movement, is how rancid the ideology is there when it comes to anti-Semitism and anti-Israel sentiment.
And that is really egregious.
The fact that these Canadian government workers, by the way, weren't so many of them just on strike.
I remember going to Young and Shepherd area, the federal government building there.
Boy, talk about a fool's errand trying to get those workers to articulate why it is they are on strike.
They couldn't even put two words together.
But this idea, I want to address this because this is very important.
This idea of calling for a ceasefire.
Why?
So that Hamas can regroup, so that Hamas can sneak out of the country.
By the way, when you talk to these demonstrators, ask them this: Will you condemn Hamas?
Because so many say, Oh, don't call us a pro-Hamas rally, call us a pro-Palestinian rally.
Okay, do you unequivocally condemn Hamas?
They will not do it.
And before there is any ceasefire and any ramp up of humanitarian aid, how about this?
All the hostages are released.
Oh, no, no, no, that's not one of their demands either.
I'll tell you another couple of other observations because I've been at a few of these demonstrations, Sheila.
I have seen a grand total of one Canadian flag being flown at these demonstrations.
It's funny because when you go to the pro-Israel demonstrations, you almost see sometimes an equal number of Israel and Canadian flags.
And since we're now into the home stretch towards Remembrance Day, if you check out the people at these pro-Hamas demonstrations, I beg of you folks, please, please, please show me one per one wearing this, a poppy.
You ain't gonna see that.
And that makes me nervous, Sheila, that if they have such lack of respect for wearing a poppy and basically proving Don Cherry four years ago was right on the money.
And of course, he gets canceled.
This sort of stuff, this, we all turn a blind eye to it.
So I wouldn't be surprised if these radicals who are increasingly ramping up their misbehavior will do something to disrupt a remember getting tongue-tied.
I'm getting so emotional.
A Remembrance Day ceremony, Sheila.
I just saw in my email that that is the case.
They are planning in St. John to have a day of action for Palestine on Remembrance Day to disrupt the ceremonies.
I don't know if you ever saw that.
There's a video.
It came out late last week where somebody went into the crowd of these pro-Palestinian people.
They started asking some of the like university student types who were chanting from the river to the sea.
They just asked them, like, what river?
What sea?
And they had no clue.
No clue.
They had no clue that that means from the Jordan to the Mediterranean, like all of Israel.
Exactly.
Like they, they have no clue even what they're chanting because they're that stupid.
And there's, as you and I have surmised in the past, a lot of this is latent anti-Americanism because the most American place in the Middle East, both population-wise, but just through values, is Israel.
And so when you have this poison of anti-Americanism permeating in the universities, naturally it will spill over to focus on the most American country in the Middle East.
We are told we cannot go over today because I have a guest booked for the studio right after.
But let's talk about these boycotts of Israel-linked businesses.
We saw McDonald's in London.
Ezra had footage of that when he was there, of these protesters mobbing the McDonald's because McDonald's had the audacity to feed IDF soldiers in the wake of the October 7th attacks.
Boycotts and Bias00:06:10
Now anti-Israel protesters in Toronto of all places are calling for a boycott of Aroma Cafe and vandalizing the business, including with boycott stickers.
Here's my prediction, Sheila.
It's going to be yet again another Barbara Streisand effect.
People are going to vote with their wallets.
We saw that in Toronto with Landware when that cafe was the target of a boycott attempt.
And a couple of weeks ago, when super producer Ephraim and I went down at lunchtime at Landware, it was standing room only.
It was a wait to get in.
Imagine that.
How can you not call that anti-Semitism?
Here is a cafe owner, or in the case of McDonald's, here's a franchise owner, not even active on social media, not putting up a poster one way or the other.
Just some guys, some restaurateurs trying to make a buck and get by.
And their only sin is the J word.
You know, they are Jewish.
Therefore, well, not in the case of McDonald's.
That was McDonald's feeding Jewish soldiers in Israel.
But that to me is blatant anti-Semitism, Sheila, right?
You are targeting a business just because of that person's religion.
Well, yeah.
And for people who don't know, and you know, like we don't have a ton of aroma cafes in the west, but aroma is basically the Israeli Tim Hortons.
And so it has locations all over the world, including Kazakhstan.
And I bet you they're not protesting Aroma Cafe in Kazakhstan, even though it is a Muslim-majority country.
But the youthful idiots in Toronto are doing it here.
And tell me, Sheila, why is it when we look at the pro-Israel counter-demonstrations, why don't we see chants that are equivalent to death to Palestinians or death to Muslims?
Why don't we see Jews going out of their way to find some sharama joint owned by a Muslim and trying to organize a boycott there?
I don't understand.
Can you connect the thoughts for me, she-devil?
I think we know why.
Yeah.
I think we know why.
We've got a couple of chats.
I'm just going to touch on them really quick, and then we'll hit an ad break and we'll go into the last, I don't know, five or six stories of the day.
So we've got one from Plum Duff69 who says, glad to see Menzies and Sheila.
Yeah, me too.
I love doing the show with David.
And then we've got one from Maminka, who gives us 10 bucks and says, no unions needed.
It's a commie thing anyway.
Do you know what?
If you want to, look, I'm all for freedom of association, which is why I'm anti-forced collectivization.
So I believe in the right to work.
I believe you should be able to negotiate your pay between yourself and your employer without this third party scooping a little off the top, which is what unions in this country do.
And the reason we don't have right to work legislation in this country is because the unions know if you had a choice of not to join a union, you probably wouldn't.
And so they have to take away the choice and force you to join the union.
I think the need for unions, the reason for unions, long since dissipated.
And now they're just the organized labor arm of the NDP.
You're so right, Sheila.
I mean, but at the end of the day, whether you're a public or private sector union, what is your mandate?
I would argue, as you said, fight for higher pay, better working conditions, more profound benefits, you know, the things that actually enrich and improve the lives of their members.
But we have seen the union dues being diverted into far-left political causes.
And they have no bailiwick there.
I mean, what is a union doing in terms of taking a stance for a pro-terrorism response against Israel?
It is egregious and outrageous, absolutely terrible.
Oh, before we go to the ad break, I don't want to have skipped over this because it's such an important story.
Jewish senior killed, killed by these anti-Israel protesters.
They want to say they're Palestinian liberation protesters or whatever the hell they are.
No, they're anti-Israel protesters.
When they are saying from the river to the sea, that's calling for the end of Israel.
So you are anti-Israel protesters.
And a Jewish senior has died after he was struck in the head in Ventura County, which is, I think, LA, LA area.
Thousand Oaks, so northwest of Los Angeles.
This old man, 69 years old, so not even all that old, struck in the head by these lunatics, and he died.
He died.
This is a death associated with these protests now.
And yet, everyone's like, nope, nope, this is fine.
Perfectly peaceful.
These calls for genocide.
Yeah.
And I'm wondering if the mainstream media will continue their oft-repeated phrase at these demonstrations, Sheila: a peaceful protest, or in that case, a mostly peaceful protest.
Oh, mostly.
What do you mean by mostly, ma'am?
Oh, somebody got killed, actually.
He got struck in the head.
But other than that, it was really peaceful.
Well, the good news is there's no honking, at least at this one, but I hear honking at these by and large.
But yeah, mostly peaceful except for the fire bombings and the killing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Rebel Live Event Announcement00:04:56
Yeah, where's Yara Sachs on the Heil Hitler ring of the Hornhonking?
Remember how Hong Kong was an acronym?
Her words, this moron doesn't even know what acronym means.
An acronym for Heil Hitler.
She's been really quiet lately, hasn't she?
Yeah, I mean, she says a few things, but mostly her tweeting fingers are still sore from clapping for Nazis, like real Nazis.
So whatever.
Let's hit an ad break so we can go to these last five stories on the day.
And these are rebel reports.
You may have missed, but we think you should see them.
David Menzies for Rebel News here in downtown Toronto.
And I got to tell you, folks, next March, March 23rd to 30th, to be precise, we are going on a Caribbean cruise.
Can you imagine that?
And a lot of your favorite rebels will be there, such as Sheila Gunreads.
We got Alexa Lavois, the big boss man himself.
Of course, he'll be there, Ezra Levant.
And how about this?
How about this for the Cherry on the Sunday?
Tamara Leach, Canada's number one freedom fighter.
She'll be on that boat too.
And look at the itinerary.
We're going to be going to Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas, and then we're going to jazz it up in Oko Rios, Jamaica.
And then there's Georgetown in the Cayman Islands.
And finally, Cozumel, Mexico.
Can you imagine that?
If you want more details in terms of getting aboard the ship, go to rebelnewscruise.com.
That's rebelnewscruise.com.
All the details are there, the departure dates, the costs.
And you know what?
This is not just a fun-filled getaway.
This is a way in which Rebel News raises some revenue.
Unlike the mainstream media, we don't receive a nickel of government funding, nor would we take it if ever offered.
So it's win-win.
Enjoy yourself in the Caribbean and Mexico.
And also support your favorite online news channel.
So that's rebelnewscruise.com.
I hope to see you aboard.
Oh, I can't wait for that, Sheila.
I bet you can't.
I bet you can't.
I just hope your swimsuit is modest for everybody's sake, including your own.
What about your swimsuit?
I seem to remember you chickened out of our Halloween costume daily roundup because your female Bret Hart costume was too revealing.
And I ended up with looking like a Jason Voorhees slash Freddy Krueger reject.
Because you looked great.
And you looked great.
We should also just note that we have a Rebel Live event coming up.
Yes.
I think it's RebelNewsLive.ca or.com for tickets.
It's in Calgary on the 18th.
Is that right, you guys?
It is.
Yes.
It's the Saturday after Remembrance Day Saturday.
And we still have tickets, I understand.
Do we?
We do.
So we've got Billboard Chris coming, which I think is great.
We've got an appearance by Glenn Beck that will be, I believe it's pre-recorded, but it's a special interview with Ezra that you'll only see there.
Avi Yamini is Skyping in.
Harrison Faulkner, John Carpe.
Chad Williamson and his beautiful sideburns are going to come to the event too.
So it's going to be great.
And of course, your favorite Rebel personalities of which one I hope I am.
So Ezra Levant, me, Drea, Alexa, David Menzies, Adam.
We've got Heather Mason, Rodney Palmer.
So we also have live music, breakfast and lunch.
Some tickets include dinner too.
So I'll swag.
You'll get to mix and mingle with all of us, which I love doing.
So anyways, it's RebelNewsLive, I think.ca.
Get your tickets.
And don't wait because these things always sell out in the last week.
And then I get people in my email saying, Sheila, Sheila, you got to get me in.
You got to get me tickets.
And I have to tell you that I can't because of fire code restrictions.
And so while I would love as many people to come as possible, if you want tickets, you want to come to this awesome event in Calgary on the 18th, just go get your tickets right now.
Well, not right now.
Wait till the show's over, then go get your tickets.
And we'll see you there.
It was so much fun last year, I recall.
And Sheila, you and I, are we supposed to make a speech or something at this thing?
Or are we just doing the whole Walmart greeter thing?
Why Barbie in Sports?00:12:31
You know what?
Last year, I introduced you as Juggsy LaRue or Juggsley Lemieux.
No, that was at the Toronto event.
That was at the Toronto event.
Yeah.
So the moral of the story is you don't know what you're going to get because apparently David and I don't know what we're doing.
So it's going to be a surprise for everybody is all we're saying.
But there's no way I'm trying to get those Zed cups past airport security.
No way.
I tried them on.
They're so heavy.
Like I don't, to be pulling off that scam that Jugsy Lemieux is, you really have to be committed to the scam because frig, those things are heavy.
Anyways, let's keep going.
And Sheila, when you tried those on, I will never think of you in quite the same way ever again.
Anyway.
I wore the whole outfit, including the wig.
Anyways, let's keep going.
Real woman fighting for fairness in sport.
This story this morning, it's from April Hutchinson, who's just the athlete in her sport in the entire world.
because she's sick of biological men dominating her sports.
So she tweeted this morning that she faces a two-year ban by the CPU, that's the powerlifting union, for speaking publicly about the unfairness of biological males being allowed to taunt female competitors and loot their winnings.
Apparently, she's failed in her gender role duties.
I love, I love this.
I failed in my gender role duties as a supporting actress in the horror show that is my sport right now.
Naturally, the powerlifting union deemed my written private complaint of the male bullying to be frivolous and vexatious.
Isn't it amazing, Sheila?
And April is one example in powerlifting, a very masculine, I would argue, sports, but a sport, but it does have a female division.
And rugby, again, very masculine.
You would think they would have people as part of the executives of the governing bodies that would realize that when a biological male in rugby, the infamous Ash Davis and in powerlifting, I can't even remember the loser that now identifies as a female in the female division.
You would think they above all would come out and say, no, no, no, we know what it's like to be in a physical contact sport.
We know what it's like to lift weight that, well, quite frankly, can be above your own weight.
But no, the wokeism and the indoctrination is even there.
I mean, April facing a two-year ban for telling the truth, for going to bat for the fact that twas ever thus, male and female sports, with few exceptions like equestrian and auto racing, they've always been segregated by sex for obvious reasons.
She is facing two years out of the sport, whereas the guy who won, I've heard of bad losers before, Sheila, but it's very rare you come across a bad winner.
Not only did he win by smashing the female record, but he then went on to taunt the biological female weightlifters.
He likened them to a Tyrannosaurus rex, a big giant dinosaur with little tiny spindly arms.
He gets away with that.
He's not called on the carpet for that kind of grotesque unsportsmanship.
This kind of transanity, again, Sheila, it is just like what we're seeing with the pro-Hamas rubbish.
If we don't call this out, if we don't put an end to it as politically incorrect as that might be, it is going to get more and more emboldened.
And we just saw last month, Efren and I went to the Pan Am Center in Markham, and there was a 50-year-old man, Nicholas Sepita.
He goes by the name Melody Weiseheart, which kind of sounds like a porn starlet.
But speaking of pornography, I still can't get a straight answer if this 50-year-old male who swam with 13 and 14-year-old female swimmers got to use the same change room and the same showers.
So there's not even transparency.
And by the way, folks, that's the game sheet.
There it is.
Melody Weiseheart.
50.
Look how that number just comes flying out at you with the Orangeville Otters.
And Swimming Canada is okay with this.
By the way, Sheila, on this point, there's Nicholas, by the way, a psychology professor at Toronto's York University.
Two of his specialties are shockers for youth and children.
Can you imagine?
But aquatics, sorry, World Aquatics, which is the international governing body for swimming, they came out with another category.
This is part of the recommendations you'll find in the book Linda Blade and Barbara Kay co-authored have an open category.
And the World Aquatics, their big world meet was in Berlin last month.
And guess what, Sheila?
How many transgender swimmers showed up for the open category?
Well, that number rhymes with the word hero.
That's right.
Zip.
No transgender swimmer came out for the open category.
But why, Sheila?
For years, we've been hearing from these lunatics.
Oh, I want inclusivity.
I want to be part of the big show.
I want to go to the Swimming World Cup.
And then we bend over backwards and create an entry for them.
Ah, nah, not interested.
Do you think just maybe, Sheila, it's not about getting into the pool?
Do you think maybe with some of these people, it's about getting into the change room of the opposite sex, which is especially attractive to them if the change room of the opposite sex has, oh, you know, minors in it.
This is disgusting.
I don't even think for the majority of them, it is about getting into the change room.
I think it's just about cheating.
Yep.
Like, I just think it's about cheating.
And that's why they didn't enter into that open category.
Every time I see these dudes competing against women, I think about that scene from Seinfeld where Kramer is talking about his success at karate.
And then the gang goes down to the dojo and he's fighting nine-year-olds.
That's what this is like.
Every time I see these dudes swimming against little girls or powerlifting against women, April cannot out-train biology.
She knows that.
Science knows that.
But the higher-ups in her sport don't.
Let's move along because we're going to run out of time.
And I want to get to something that I love talking about, and that's Catherine McKenna.
Oh, yeah.
I heard she got into trouble with the chronology vis-a-vis the climate Barbie nickname.
Is that correct, Sheila?
She did.
So, because this woman just, I mean, she told us she lies and lies and lies until everybody believes it.
Like, she's mentioned that, as I said in my video, when she gets on the 80-proof truth serum, and she said, you know, like you just keep saying a lie until people believe it.
And apparently she said this one lie so many times that she might even believe it.
She told the Weather Network, who, you know what, here's my theory.
I could be wrong, but I think McKenna is going to run for the leader of the Liberal Party if Trudeau leaves.
Because she can say, look, she can say, look, I haven't been there since, whatever, 2021 since she didn't run again.
I'm not responsible for the bulk of the corruption.
I wasn't even there.
I was just there for like part of the corruption.
And she's a woman.
She's an environmentalist.
She's checking a lot of identity boxes the left cares about.
And she's made herself a victim for a very long time, including a victim of these, this misogynist slur of being called climate Barbie.
Except I'm the person who came up with it because she was doing stupid things like you would see a Barbie do, like riding your bike in high heels and putting your briefcase in the basket as you go off to your big girl job.
And so anyway, she goes on the weather network and she tells them that she negotiated the Paris Accord with these misogynist slurs in mind.
Okie dok, except for the fact that she negotiated the Paris Accord just weeks after becoming minister in 2015, like so December, early December 2015.
And I had not yet crafted that moniker that has stuck to her all these years hence.
So she wants, and here's the crazy part.
She wants us to believe she negotiated the onerous and punishing targets of the Paris Accord to punish her critics, okay, petty tyrant.
But it's not even true.
Like, to do it is despicable, but it isn't even true.
She lied.
But Sheila, here's something that we have to consider.
Since then, as compared to now, earlier this year, as you know, the Barbie movie came out, number one grossing film worldwide.
I haven't seen the Barbie movie, but I understand Barbie isn't depicted as an airhead.
It's basically Ken is the airhead.
Exactly.
From what I understand.
And I think it ends with Ken resigned to the fate that he's going to have to sit around every Sunday watching NFL games with his guy friends.
I think that's a win, actually.
But why do I know?
But it maybe is this why this is getting traction.
Suddenly, Barbie isn't really the slur it was in yesteryear, given the incredible success of this film.
Well, and in 2019, she claims, and again, who can believe a word this woman says, right?
Just she said she's a liar.
Like she literally said she's a liar.
And we caught her lying.
But she said she went to hire ups at Mattel to create a climate action Barbie.
They declined because even the woesters at Mattel were like, I don't think so.
Who's going to buy this?
Really?
And, but anyways, who can believe that that happened anyway?
So anyways, it's my muse came back into my life for a brief moment yesterday, and I'll move on from her until she decides to run for the leader of the Liberal Party, which I think, I think that's what this reputational rehab is all about right now and trying to get herself in front of some cameras.
Well, Sheila, in light of the makeover of the Barbie image, if I was that Mattel executive, what I would say to Catherine McKinna is, Miss McKenna, we know, Barbie, you are no Barbie.
Again, even the woesters at Mattel could not abide this nonsense.
Let's just touch on one thing and then we'll go into your poppy story and then we'll clean up the chats and we'll get out the door because I'm sure Efron's going to get anxious with us.
So this story, I just want to talk about it real, real quick.
There's really not much to say beyond the headline, but it is so like chef's kiss liberal that I had to talk about it.
Federal Consultants' Dilemma00:03:23
The federal government hired consultants to advise them on how to save money on hiring consultants.
Anita Anand hired KPMG, this consulting firm, accounting firm, as part of a $2 billion commitment to find efficiencies in the federal government.
And they spent $700,000 to get advice on cost-cutting tips on dealing with consultants from consultants.
And I just, it's just so perfectly government that I just, I love it.
I love this story.
I had to write it up as soon as I saw it.
I was like, yeah, this is the one for me.
But Sheila, as I say in Vegas, the fix is in, isn't it?
If you are a consultant hired by the government in terms of giving advice on how to reduce the number of consultants, you're not going to state the obvious thing.
Do the work yourself.
That's what you're hired for because you're a consultant.
You want more consultant business in the future, right?
So this is destined to fail, wouldn't you say?
Of course, but all things the government does are destined to fail or cost more than they say it will.
But switch lanes to a government that seems to be doing things right and so many things right, from parents' rights to fighting back on the carbon tax, Saskatchewan.
This is your story.
You're working on a video about this.
Alex, our newswriter, wrote it up yesterday.
They've enshrined the right to wear poppies at work, regardless of what your employer says with Bill 39.
Yeah, and because we only have a minute, here's the reader's digest version, folks, of my rant.
This is good news and bad news.
By the way, Saskatchewan is now the third province in addition to Manitoba and Ontario that has this rule.
Bravo for them for protecting workers who are micromanaged by pig-headed poppy haters.
But the sad thing is, Sheila, that we need legislation today to protect workers from wearing a poppy from November 1st to 11th.
That is absolutely shameful.
This was needed in the first place.
There you go.
Yep, it's true.
And every year we hear stories about some poor minimum wage food service worker being bullied because they want to wear a poppy and the head barista at the coffee factory with four degrees in the humanities flexing their power says, actually, no, that's a symbol of colonial oppression.
Get that poppy off your apron.
And we have to end up having to bring awareness to such plights.
But good news is that won't happen in Saskatchewan.
Yeah, evidently in Saskatchewan, the complaints were there was a lack of neutrality in wearing a pop.
Well, you better damn believe it.
You're showing respect and reverence for our veterans.
You're showing respect and reverence for in World War I and II alone, Sheila, over 100,000 Canadians and Newfoundlanders gave their lives in those wars.
Yeah, there is a lack of neutrality.
That's the point.
It's unbelievable.
But I see we are working it over and we have a heartbreak.
Showing Respect for Veterans00:02:14
Yeah, and we have two chats.
So Efron, Olivia, settle down.
I'll get to them immediately.
So Snowy Roofs gives us five bucks and says, if they demonstrate on Remember and say that's the pro-Hamas, anti-Israel protesters, they should all be rounded up and all the foreign nationals deported and the rest jailed.
Look, I don't want to jail protesters that I disagree with if they're Canadian nationals.
But if you are a foreign national here and you're not a citizen and you are showing support for a terrorist organization, deporthamas.ca and.com.
Go back where you came from.
A rivaterchi.
Yep.
And so that's where I'm at on that.
Let's move ahead.
Oh, by the way, Yankee points out that it is statewide elections in the United States.
So I don't know.
There's a lot of states today electing their sheriffs and such like that.
We've got from yesterday one that says this is the quietest, calmest Alex Jones show ever.
So Ezra hosted the Alex Jones show yesterday and we did a simulcast, as they say in the biz, of the stream here.
And a lot of people really appreciated Ezra's calm demeanor in the morning and the afternoon, which, I mean, I'm a connoisseur of Alex Jones anyway.
But yeah, it was fun to see just taking her down a notch to Ezra Levant levels, who sometimes is the most excitable guy at our network.
100%.
I thought Ezra did a fantastic job yesterday.
And you did a great job on the made file on Inflow Wars yourself, Sheila.
So thank you to both you and Ezra.
And you too, David.
Thank you for attending this mutual appreciation meeting.
All of our viewers at home, I think we need to wrap the show up.
We sure do.
So Efron doesn't have an aneurysm.
Thank you so much, folks, for tuning in, especially those who gave a donation.
That's how we pay the bills.
And a special thanks to Olivia and Ephraim, our super producers behind the boards.
I will be here tomorrow with another Rebel News personality, not Sheila.
