DAILY | MPs get panic buttons; Soccer star backs trans athletes; Freeland's 'fake fights' over guns
David Menzies and Sheila Gunn Reid reunite this Tuesday to talk about members of Parliament getting panic buttons, a US soccer star backing trans athletes in female sports and Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland labels arguments over guns as "fake fights".

EZRA LEVANT | Trudeau’s hand-picked censorship commissars want to go even further than he does
This is going to be the big fight. Four bills are in the House, or soon to be introduced. All of them unconstitutional. But really — who’s going to stop this? GUEST: Lewis Brackpool

DAILY | Online hate & censorship bills; Freeland brags about rising carbon tax; F1's anti-oil driver
Adam Soos and Sheila Gunn Reid kick off the week with a look at Justin Trudeau's government attempting to push through online hate and censorship legislation, while his deputy, Chrystia Freeland, brags about the rising carbon tax and F1's anti-oil driver, Sebastien Vettel, is taken to task by fans and politicians alike.

DAVID MENZIES | Liberal Pro-Life Charity Meddling; Radio-Canada Sues Over Parody
Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies, and gentlemen — and the rest of you — in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favourite Rebels. I’m your host, David Menzies. Sheila Gunn Reid weighs in on the Trudeau Liberals’ abortion policy when it comes to charities. Which is to say, the charity must be pro-abortion, not pro-life assuming it wants to maintain charitable status. Disgraceful. And get this: an independent production company makes a parody of a decades-old Radio-Canada kids’ show. But Radio Canada, the French version of CBC, was not amused. And now Radio-Canada is… suing this company?! Alexa Lavoie has all the details. And letters; we get your letters; we get your letters every minute of every day. And I’ll share some of your responses about our story regarding Sneaky Patrick Brown caught in yet another scandal. He just can’t help himself… Those are your Rebels now let’s round them up…

EZRA LEVANT | China floats its third aircraft carrier. Who do you think it’s designed to attack?
That Chinese aircraft carrier had rainbow fireworks. So what — the US Navy’s Twitter page changes its emblem to the pride parade. GUEST: Gordon G. Chang

DAILY | YouTube fights Trudeau censorship; Older Canadians delaying retirement; MPs run from Rebel
On today's special edition of the livestream, hosted by Kat Krozonouski, Nat Biase and Alexa Lavoie, we look at YouTube's fight against Justin Trudeau's censorship bill, older Canadians delaying retirement and MPs running away from Rebel News.

ANDREW CHAPADOS | The Tyrants Will Never Stop | Sara Gonzales & Mocha Bezirgan
BlazeTV's Sara Gonzales and Rebel News' Chief Videographer Abdusselam 'Mocha' Bezirgan join Andrew Says for a very Texan, and Turkish episode to discuss inflation, right-wing do-nothings and fundamental rights. Gonzales recalls her Twitter rant of 'unacceptable truths' with now-controversial statements such as “men don't have periods” or “only women can get pregnant.” Bezirgan compares authoritarianism in Turkey to that of the West, and explains the very real comparison of perceived freedom in different parts of the world. Behind the RebelNews+ paywall, the trio talk about gun rights and conservative posturing in legislative bodies.

EZRA LEVANT | Trudeau conveniently gets COVID as Toronto Pearson airport mayhem continues to unfold
GUEST HOST: Sheila Gunn Reid Justin Trudeau — with his four jabs, his double masking and his creepy insistence that those around him be at least doubled dosed with the COVID vaccine — has tested positive for upper respiratory illness for the second time in five months. It seems as though anytime a progressive politician or pseudo politician might face accountability or at least the ire of an angry, confused public, a COVID diagnosis strikes. GUEST: Ottawa-based Rebel News reporter, William Diaz-Berthiaume to talk about questioning MP Pablo Rodriguez about his new censorship bill, C-11.

DAILY | Sneaky Patrick being investigated; Calls to fire Mendicino grow; Trudeau's boozy flights
David Menzies is joined by Tamara Ugolini for this edition of the livestream, where the pair discuss Sneaky Patrick Brown being investigated by the Conservative party, while calls to fire Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino are growing louder and documents reveal the (surprising? unsurprising?) amount of money Justin Trudeau has been spending on alcohol.

SHEILA GUNN REID | Andrew Lawton's new book on the Freedom Convoy is already #1 on Amazon Canada
Andrew Lawton's new book on the convoy is already a number one best seller on Amazon and it's not even released yet. The book by True North's senior journalist, The Freedom Convoy: The Inside Story of Three Weeks that Shook the World, is set to be released on June 24, 2022, and, as of June 13, 2022, it had already hit the top spot on Amazon Canada in International Politics and by the morning of June 14, it was number one in the Politics and Government.

EZRA LEVANT | What does the Canadian flag represent to you in 2022?
GUEST HOST: David Menzies. With Dominion Day just a couple of weeks away, the question arises: what does the Canadian flag represent to you in 2022? GUEST: Nicky Billou, co-author of The Great Patriot Protest & Boycott Book: The Priceless List for Conservatives, Christians, Patriots, & 80+ Million Trump Warriors to Cancel “Cancel Culture” and Save America!

DAILY | Drag queens under fire; Death threats over Bieber; Are Toronto cops racist?
Andrew Chapados and Dakota Christensen host this mid-week episode of the livestream, with drag queen story time at a San Francisco library coming under fire, journalists and comedians getting death threats over Justin Bieber comments and wondering if, after the release of a new report, the Toronto police are racist.

EZRA LEVANT | Justin Trudeau finally announces an end to his airplane vaccine mandate
Today, Justin Trudeau's cabinet announced the end of the vaccine mandate required to fly on airplanes in this country. Other than China and North Korea, Canada was the only place in the world that would segregate its citizens this way, punish them. It was clearly a vendetta. Trudeau, and his Transport Minister Omar Alghabra had repeatedly said that they intend to continue this discrimination, that they were checking the science regularly, as if they ever did. So why did Trudeau end the no-fly list for his enemies so precipitously? GUEST: Lawyer Keith Wilson is working with the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms on a lawsuit filed in Federal Court to strike down the COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

Miss Understood No. 18 — Raising Red Flags About Porn
In Episode No. 18 of Miss Understood, we discuss toxic moms in the era of Kris Jenner and her momagerial antics. Plus, did you know there is a correlation between watching porn and being a murderer? Although most people who watch porn are probably not murderers, maybe porn has a lot more negative implications than people think.

DAILY | Unvaxxed travel ban ending; Liberal apologizes for saying 'F off'; Rebels catch Alghabra
David Menzies and Sheila Gunn Reid host as finally, mercifully, travel restrictions on the unvaccinated are seemingly about to end. Plus, a Liberal MP and former Olympic gold medalist apologized for using some unsporting language, while a pair of Rebels caught up with Transport Minister Omar Alghabra in Ottawa.

EZRA LEVANT | Liberal pollster says conservatives believe in conspiracy theories — is he right?
A new poll by a Liberal-linked pollster says that conservatives believe in conspiracy theories. But what exactly are the conspiracies they're talking about, and are they really theories, or just plain old conspiracies? GUEST: Spencer Fernando

DAILY | Tam wants to redefine 'fully vaxxed'; Trudeau's tests positive; Warning labels for beef
Sheila Gunn Reid and Adam Soos kick the week off with a look at Public Health Agency of Canada boss Theresa Tam saying she wants to see what it means to be fully vaccinated redefined, while the triple vaccinated prime minister, Justin Trudeau, tests positive for COVID again and Health Canada proposes new warning labels for beef.

DAVID MENZIES | CBC's Fake Convoy Victim; Rebel News At The Dallas Drag Bar
Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies, and gentlemen – and the rest of you – in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favourite Rebels. I’m your host, David Menzies. So, what pray tell, is more pathetic? The incessant lying by Martin Joseph Anglehart, a man who continues to falsely claim that he was abused by the rank-and-file demonstrators who comprised the freedom convoy in Ottawa? Or the fact that the CBC, who portrayed this fraudster as a victim, is refusing to do the right thing: namely, being transparent about their shoddy reporting. Alexa Lavoie shall explain all. For whatever reason, drag queen story time is all the rage in certain circles these days. But consider what happened at the Dallas gay bar Mr. Misster recently: elementary school age children were ushered in to take part in a sexualized show staged by men pretending to be women. What the hell? Juan Mendoza has all the disturbing nitty-gritty details… And letters; we get your letters; we get your letters every minute of every day. And I’ll share some of your responses about our story regarding our visit to a Ford Nation event. Guess what? We were told to leave – even though we had an invitation. What’s more, if we didn’t leave as in “immediately” we would be charged with… trespassing? Meanwhile, the mainstream media was welcomed in with open arms. Why? No reason given. Because that’s how Douggie rolls these days. Those are your Rebels now let’s round them up…

EZRA LEVANT | What will make Trudeau end his vendetta against unvaccinated Canadians?
I think Canada is the only country in the world that bans its own citizens from flying or taking the train if they’re unvaccinated. GUEST: David Menzies on his recent Mayor Patrick Brown exposé.

ANDREW CHAPADOS | Grand Theft Biden | Jason Miller & Chandler Crump | Andrew Says 77
GETTR CEO Jason Miller returned to Andrew Says to discuss exciting new features on the platform. Joining Miller on this episode is Chandler Crump, a budding young hip-hop artist.

EZRA LEVANT | Let me show you what a fraud this whole 'disinformation' industry is. I have a gross example from the University of Calgary.
Twenty-five years ago, both sides would be on a TV show. Now one side is “scientifically” proving that the other side shouldn’t even be listened to, and that perhaps the police, or at least spy agencies, ought to get involved. Do you think I'm kidding? Well, look at this disgraceful publication by my alma mater the University of Calgary. GUEST: Selene Galas

DAILY | More MPs side with Poilievre; Mask rules set to end in Ontario; Drag queen story time
David Menzies is joined by Alexa Lavoie on this Thursday edition of the daily livestream. A pair of Conservative MPs have switched their support from Patrick Brown to Pierre Poilievre, masks are almost completely gone in Ontario and drag queen story time is coming to a library near you.

SHEILA GUNN REID | Selene Galas is covering Pastor Art in a Calgary court for Rebel News
Pastor Art Pawlowski is back in a courtroom in Calgary this week to answer to a charge of hosting an illegal gathering in violation of COVID restriction in December 2020. His illegal gathering? An open-air soup kitchen and Christmas festival that was part of the weekly anti-lockdown protest that takes place still to this day on the plaza in front of city hall. I was in the courtroom Tuesday with one of our newer Rebels, Selene Galas, who is learning the ropes of courtroom reporting. It's not as exciting as I make it seem but it's important work to be the eyes and ears of the public, especially when the mainstream media doesn't show up — not that you could trust them anyway.

EZRA LEVANT | Is it true that technology will make millions of people useless? That’s what the World Economic Forum says.
I want to focus for a moment not on Klaus Schwab — but on his rising star, also a character from a Bond movies. His name is Yuval Noah Harari. GUEST: Lord Conrad Black

DAILY | Do women have penises; British cops threaten Twitter users; Bill bans minors from drag shows
Andrew Chapados and Lewis Brackpool host this mid-week edition of the livestream and take a look at Labour Party Leader Keir Starmer's assertion that some women do, in fact, have penises, British cops threatening Twitter users over Pride Month posts and a proposed bill in Texas that would ban minors from drag shows.

EZRA LEVANT | Canada’s airports enter a total melt-down. And Trudeau doesn’t care.
I haven’t flown in a very long time. So it’s with a small degree of schadenfreude — that’s the German word for taking joy in someone else’s misery — that I see stories like this from airports. GUEST: Alex Stein was suspended from Twitter after his coverage of the Drag The Kids To Pride event in Dallas, Texas this weekend.

Miss Understood No. 17 — Biology Matters
In Episode No. 17 of Miss Understood, we discuss the claim that trans swimmer Lia Thomas has a biological advantage over female competitors and address the slippery slope that enables female-identifying male sex offenders to stay in female prisons. Plus, there is a rising trend in anti-woman subcultures — is feminism to blame?

DAILY | Redefining fully vaccinated; Trudeau likes ranked ballots; Pastor Artur in court
David Menzies and Andrew Chapados are in studio, looking at a push by so-called experts to redefine what it means to be fully vaccinated, Justin Trudeau's kind words for ranked ballots and Pastor Artur is back in court again — this time for his original 'crime' of feeding the homeless during Alberta's lockdown in December 2020.

EZRA LEVANT | Trudeau's Supreme Court chief judge says you’d better not criticize him — he’s 'warning' you
The chief judge of Canada has not forgotten the odour of anarchy. He was talking about the truckers. And that’s what he said. GUEST: Former Conservative MP (and new Rebel journalist) Kerry Diotte

DAILY | Toronto's ongoing airport delays; Drag Queen debacle in Dallas; Rittenhouse plans to sue
Sheila Gunn Reid and Tamara Ugolini kick the week off with a look at the inability to solve Toronto's airport woes, a drag queen debacle that went down in Dallas, Texas, and take a look at Kyle Rittenhouse saying he's been inspired by Johnny Depp to sue those who defamed him.

DAVID MENZIES | World Economic Elites; COVID Influencers
Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies, and gentlemen – and the rest of you – in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favourite Rebels. I’m your host, David Menzies. Well, the 2022 edition of the World Economic Forum is over and done with. We had a huge team of Rebel News reporters covering this gathering, and one of those reporters, Lewis Brackpool, will join me to offer his thoughts on this elitist conference. Say, did you know that the federal government used taxpayer dollars to pay “influencers” to convince citizens to comply with the COVID lockdowns? Did you know that the government is being secretive about this scheme? Sheila Gunn Reid has all the nitty-gritty details. And letters; we get your letters; we get your letters every minute of every day. And I’ll share some of your responses about our story regarding Rob Stocki, a retired Ottawa police officer, who recently found out that he had his phone wiretapped by law enforcement. And why was that you ask? Great question. No reason was given for the wiretapping, but Rob suspects his so-called “crime” was taking part in the freedom convoy that descended upon Ottawa in late January. Unbelievable… Those are your Rebels now let’s round them up…

EZRA LEVANT | Doug Ford slouches back into government with a majority
Turnout in the previous election was 57 per cent. That wasn't great, but it was respectable these days for Canada. This time, voter turnout was just 43 per cent. GUEST: Tamara Ugolini

DAILY | Doug Ford takes the cake; Opposition leaders resign; A surprising upset; Rebels in Texas
David Menzies and Katherine Krozonouski host today's livestream in the aftermath of Ontario's election, where Doug Ford won a second term, both the Liberal and NDP leaders resigned and a surprising upset happened in one riding. Plus, we've got some Rebels down in Texas.

ANDREW CHAPADOS | Ryan Long: The media is setting you up for failure
Comedian Ryan Long returns to Andrew Says to talk some serious, and very un-serious topics. Long explains why he thinks certain media outlets and television shows set people up for failure when inevitable backlash comes their way. In terms of left vs right, Long parses through the minefield of political theatrics and criticizes Beto O'Rourke as well as right-wing pundits who take advantage of situations for their own agenda, as well. Long also explains how characters from his man-on-the-street videos in New York City have increased in popularity, turning videos into full-length conversations with an absurd cast of characters. Andrew and Ryan also discuss Toronto lore, such as the 'Cashman' Russell Oliver, and Durham Region, where they are both from.

EZRA LEVANT | A conversation with a Media Party insider — it's quite revealing!
I saw the most astonishing comment the other day, coming from a charter member of the Media Party. It truly was a work of art; it should be in a museum of some sort — it just captures the essence of the sneering media elites. It’s on Twitter, so it was meant as a sort of sneer, a sort of virtue signal, as most tweets are; a sign of status. GUEST: Selene Galas on Trudeau' visit to Calgary last night.

SHEILA GUNN REID | Lewis Brackpool's Great Reset debrief after reporting on the World Economic Forum
The New York Times and the Washington Post were at the WEF meetings in Davos, Switzerland this year, not as reporters but as activists. You can't trust the mainstream media. That's why Rebel News sent a six-person team to Davos to bring you the other side of the story — the truth — about the WEF agenda. One of those reporters, Lewis Brackpool, joins me tonight for a debrief of what he saw, what he heard and what he is working on next to expose the WEF and their Great Reset.

EZRA LEVANT | An airline CEO comes out against the vaccine mandate
I was very surprised to see this yesterday. It’s a public comment, on Twitter, by Alexis von Hoensbroech, the CEO of WestJet, Canada’s second-largest airline. GUEST: Franco Terrazzano, Federal Director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, on his recent article 'Documents show PMO staff held meetings on home equity taxes.'

DAILY | Trudeau decriminalizes drugs in BC; Border restrictions extended; Ontario votes tomorrow
Andrew Chapados and Dakota Christensen give their reactions to Prime Minister Trudeau's decision to decriminalize hard drugs in British Columbia, the extension of border restrictions and look ahead as Ontarians head to the polls to select the province's next premier tomorrow.

EZRA LEVANT | Why is Trudeau re-restricting handguns that have already been restricted? I have two theories.
So you have been turned into a criminal, because Trudeau changed something on a piece of paper. You’ve been lawful your whole life; Trudeau said a piece of property you have is now banned; you might have even forgotten about it; but now you’re a gun criminal. GUEST: Marc Morano

Miss Understood No. 16 — The Loner Pandemic
In Episode No. 16 of Miss Understood, we analyze the potential link between fatherlessness and mass shootings following the tragic mass shooting that took place in Uvalde, Texas, last week. Plus, is millennial burnout a thing? Or are millennials just as lazy as everyone thinks they are? This week, we discuss.

DAILY | Trudeau targets handguns; Travel ban still in place; Edmonton's menstruating bridge
David Menzies and Sheila Gunn Reid are reunited, the day after Prime Minister Trudeau announced new legislation targeting handguns. Also in Parliament yesterday, Conservative MP Melissa Lantsman had her motion to end travel restrictions on the unvaccinated defeated by the Liberal-NDP alliance, and Edmonton is turning a bridge red in celebration of menstruation.

EZRA LEVANT | Toronto’s decrepit airport practices an emergency police response — not against terrorists, but against peaceful protesters
I’m on the no fly list along with millions of other Canadians, so I haven’t been to the airport in a while, but this is what it’s like at Toronto’s Person International Airport, Canada’s busiest. GUEST: Alexa Lavoie

DAILY | 'Trucker Rebellion' premieres in Calgary; Trudeau's travel ban and new gun grab
Sheila Gunn Reid and Adam Soos start the week off, reflecting on the premiere of our new documentary, Trucker Rebellion: The Story of the Coutts Blockade, while Prime Minister Justin Trudeau looks to keep his travel ban in place (with the support of his trusty New Democrat allies) along with a new gun grab.

DAVID MENZIES | CBC's Language Police; Pregnant Men
Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies, and gentlemen – and the rest of you – in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favourite Rebels. I’m your host, David Menzies. Hey, hold your tongue! Because the CBC has a new list of words that are under the ban. Just one hitch though: turns out the CBC uses those words that it doesn’t want others to use! What the hell? Um, can I say, “hell”? Sheila Gunn Reid has all the nitty-gritty details. Do you remember the 1994 Arnold Schwarzenegger movie Junior, about the world’s first pregnant man? Well, what was a supposed comedy in yester-decade is now becoming a reality today. Natasha Biase has all the gruesome details. And letters; we get your letters; we get your letters every minute of every day. And I’ll share some of your responses about my interview with a protesting nurse who was complaining about the stress of working at Ontario hospitals these days. Um, do you think a major factor might be all those nurses who were suspended without pay for not getting vaccinated? Those are your Rebels now let’s round them up…

EZRA LEVANT | Why do they want a digital ID?
I’m worried about a new bill introduced in Canada’s Parliament, to give border guards the right to search and seize information from your phone — including photos; including emails; including documents. It really is modelled after China’s so-called Social Credit system, where everything about you is tracked in a government database — or, more likely, contracted out to a company like Amazon or Google, on behalf of the government. The worst of both worlds. GUEST: National Post columnist Rupa Subramanya on her latest article, 'WHO and the Davos elite leave a lot to be desired'.

DAILY | Rebels wrap up in Davos; Conservatives debate en Francais; Trudeau in BC, what happened?
Matt Brevner and Alexa Lavoie host this Friday edition of the Rebel News DAILY Livestream, recapping our team's trip to Davos, Switzerland, to cover the World Economic Forum, the French-language debate between Conservative leadership candidates and we try to get to the bottom of the alleged racial abuse that was hurled at Justin Trudeau in British Columbia.

ANDREW CHAPADOS | From Switzerland With Love | Avi Yemini & Lewis Brackpool
Avi Yemini and Lewis Brackpool report in from Switzerland to explain the ins-and-outs of the World Economic Forum. From interviews with officials on the streets, to dystopian pop-up corporations, not everything is quite what it seems in Davos. “It's truly bizarre,” the pair said, as the world elites touch down in the European country to push climate change agendas, whilst not having a care in the world for their carbon footprint whilst present at the forum. “It's strange and funny, but it's actually quite a dark topic,” explained Brackpool after he explored the streets that seemed rather artificially corporate. Yemini also discusses Australia's apparent inclusion in recent World Health Organization treaty that would give them power over the country down under. They also discuss the detainment of journalist Jack Posobiec, all on this very special episode.

EZRA LEVANT | Exclusive interview with Roman Baber, Conservative Party leadership candidate
Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to sit down with one of the candidates for the leadership, who happens to be my own local provincial legislator. The member of the provincial parliament for York Centre, at least until the election was called. His name is Roman Baber. He made a name for himself in January 2021 by publicly opposing Doug Ford's lockdowns, but in a calm, researched and carefully argued way, which promptly saw him thrown out of the party for daring to dissent.

SHEILA GUNN REID | Kian Simone's first feature film is 'Trucker Rebellion: The Battle for Coutts'
Kian, and another Rebel reporter, Syd Fizzard, were inside the negotiations with police, privy to the decision-making process of the blockaders, on location as the police moved in to seal off the truckers from support and supplies. Kian and Syd saw what the media and politicians got wrong, accidentally or otherwise. And now this new documentary tells the real story. The demand for the truth led the first showing of the documentary to sell out in just days, but don't worry. We booked a second one for June 1, 2022, at Canyon Meadows Cinema in Calgary.

EZRA LEVANT | Canadian journalists complain that their job is harder than that of our soldiers and firemen — I wish I were kidding
On tonight's show, we'll look at both the press release from the Canadian Journalism Forum on Violence and Trauma and the underlying study, too. GUEST: Alex Epstein
