Rebel News Podcast

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 election campaign in Alberta is off and running. And thanks to her rhetoric, Premier Rachel Notley is already channeling... Hillary Clinton?! Yikes! Alberta Bureau Chief, Sheila Gunn Reid, who just launched her new book “Stop Notley,” offers her analysis. It’s funny, isn’t it? Late-night talk show hosts such as Stephen Colbert incessantly dine-out on bashing President Trump, saying that his policies are harming Americans and America. But the facts show otherwise. Amanda Head drops by to deliver the proof. There’s a leftist-fuelled hate-fest raging right now regarding comments made by actor Charlie Hunnam. You see, Charlie lauded Jordan Peterson for saying things that actually make a lot of sense. And for some reason, this is offensive to the progressives? Ben Davies joins us to explain all. And finally letters. I’ll share some of your responses regarding an Ottawa condo board that has told a Major in the Royal Canadian Air Force that he cannot fly a Canadian flag at his condominium. And no, we’re not making this up…

The Ezra Levant Show (March 22, 2019) — TONIGHT I'll show you proof that Canada will be going down this road next. It won’t make a single person safer. But it will help the global left continue their mission. GUEST: Alessandra Bocchi.

Ezra Levant's Battleground: March 22, 2019 — Ezra Levant is on assignment, so Sheila Gunn Reid and David Menzies are guest hosting Battleground, where they take viewer comments and questions on the news of the day.

The Ezra Levant Show (March 21, 2019) The UK is literally a police state: Two scary examples should serve as a warning to Americans and Canadians. Guest: Lorne Gunter.

The election was just called in Alberta and we finally have the chance to shake the yoke of our socialist oppressors off of our necks. But that imminent reprieve from the NDP certainly doesn't mean that there isn't another network of powerful control freaks lurking, biding their time for the next opportunity to fundamentally change the way we live our lives. I’m talking about the United Nations. The UN just wrapped up their 4th Environment Assembly in Nairobi, Kenya. And the language coming out of that conference should raise the neck hairs on freedom lovers all across the globe. They want to “transform the way we live” through a “New World Order.” Those are their words, not mine. This elite conference was underreported in the mainstream media, but it was heavily documented by the conservative New American Magazine. The New American keeps their eye on the United Nations in a way we never see done by the mainstream information gatekeepers, providing in-depth coverage on prominent summits, as well as the smaller ones like Nairobi. My guest tonight is Alex Newman, author and star columnist at The New American. We are discussing his coverage of recent events from the United States and around the world, from the United Nations to Donald Trump's new climate panel, to New York's recent walk towards infanticide.

The Ezra Levant Show (March 20, 2019) — But my favourite part of this section of the budget is what I call the Ban The Rebel clause, which I'm sure was included as a poison pill to bring us down. GUEST Joel Pollak.

(The Ezra Levant Show: March 19, 2019) — There are 87 ridings in Alberta. In the 2015 election, Notley won 54 seats. I predict they’ll get just 20 seats this time, maybe fewer. GUEST Sheila Gunn Reid

(The Ezra Levant Show: March 18, 2019) — David Menzies and Catherine Swift of Working Canadians also talk abot Bill Morneau and the upcoming federal budget.

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. Ezra Levant is just back from the UK where he was covering the latest Tommy Robinson trial... a trial in which Ezra himself became part of the story. And what a story! Ezra Levant joins us with the details. As the dumpster fire known as LavScam continues to blaze, Justin’s loyal Liberal minions are touring the Dominion trying to cause distractions to make us all forget about this scandal. Is it working? Calgary-based Rebel Keean Bexte joins us to explain why he doesn’t think so. It should go without saying that those who sexually prey on minors should be locked up, shunned, and vilified... and that’s typically the case. But they do things differently in Hollywood. Apparently, perverts are tolerated in Tinseltown as long as they’re making money for the studios. Our Hollywood Conservative Amanda Head will explain all. And finally letters. I’ll share some of your responses regarding our mission to Ottawa last Monday in which we delivered some very stern messages to the Trudeau Liberals via our jumbotron-equipped truck. Oh, what a day!

The Ezra Levant Show (March 15, 2019) — PLUS: Ezra talks to Tommy Robinson via Skype right after the verdict.

The Ezra Levant Show (March 14, 2019) — I've covered Justin Trudeau's travel expenses extensively here at the Rebel, and I get a lot of criticism for doing so, even from people who tell me they're conservative, and who work for conservatives. So let me be clear: I fully acknowledge that Justin Trudeau cannot fly commercial.But let's look at the gold standard of prime ministerial responsibility and accountability for a second: The Harpers... Guest: William McBeath

The single largest anti-family conference you have never heard about is taking place in New York this week. It’s called the 63rd Commission on the Status of Women and the two week long gathering is hosted by the United Nations. At the conference feminists, politicians, control freaks and bureaucrats meet to plot the next stage in global women’s advancement. But, they aren’t focused on real things, like getting women the franchise in Saudi Arabia or freedom from a compulsory hijab in Iran. No, these do-gooders are focused on intersectional feminism, climate change and freeing women from the shackles of the patriarchy. Patriarchy, by the way, is just progressive shorthand for “loving, stable familial relationships.” I’ve been to this sort of crazy UN conference before, but never to this one, so I’m dying to know what kind of third-wave feminist madness is unfolding behind closed doors. Fortunately, I found a pro-family conservative who’s at the conference to give us the inside scoop. Joining me tonight from Campaign Life Coalition in an interview we recorded yesterday afternoon, is conservative, pro-life activist Mattea Merta.

The Ezra Levant Show (March 13, 2019) — If Justin’s self-entitlement is indeed preventing him from making a personal apology, then this is ultimately a self-defeating strategy. That’s because the public is very forgiving. But the caveat is that you have to be honest and sincere rather than evasive. TONIGHT I'll give you example of one of the most famous examples of this in my lifetime... GUEST: Marc Morano

(The Ezra Levant Show — March 12, 2019) Meanwhile, let's just ignore the fact that less than half of Ontario Grade 6 students met the provincial standard in math for the 2017-2018 school year... Guest: Sheila Gunn Reid

TONIGHT I'll also show you two of the "experts" AP contacted to comment in this report. Both of them are Liberal partisans — one of whom, described only as a "professor," is also regular Liberal Party donor, who calls Jody Wilson-Raybould "nuts." GUEST Allum Bokhari

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. Gerald Butts tried valiantly to, well, cover his butt the other day regarding Lav—Scam. Did he succeed? Ezra Levant joins us with his analysis. Some high-profile UK and Canadian politicians recently proclaimed their love for a free press. Just one caveat: apparently, the media has to follow an appropriate narrative in order to earn their love. Sheila Gunn Reid has all the details. Jason Kenny thinks that the importation of Somalis to Brooks, Alberta has been a resounding success story that needs to be duplicated in other Alberta jurisdictions. Keean Bexte recently travelled to Brooks to interview residents and just wait until you hear what some of them had to say… And finally letters. I’ll share some of your responses to my commentary regarding the federal government’s refusal to say how much they’re spending on accommodating refugees at two Toronto hotels. Um, whatever happened to the Trudeau Liberals’ promise to be transparent?

A liberal society or open immigration. Choose one — you can’t have both, people... GUEST: Gordon Chang

Ezra Levant reports on the shocking news that Tommy Robinson is being re-tried on March 22, and takes you comments and questions LIVE in Super Chat.

Today Trudeau weighed in, as if he was above the fray. He described himself as someone observing, outside of it. As if he were a referee, not a fighter. Or a critic of a play, not an actor in it. You see, he said, there are two sides to the story — JWR and Gerald Butts. And Trudeau will tell you who was right. TONIGHT I'll show you some clips of Trudeau's remarks from this morning. GUEST Anthony Furey.

Monday night in Toronto, Justin Trudeau held a climate change rally. It was a desperate and transparent attempt to change the channel from the snowballing SNC-Lavalin obstruction of justice crisis hitting the Liberal government and swallowing up the PMO. Trudeau has lost two high-profile cabinet ministers — AG Jody Wilson-Raybould and Treasury Board President, Jane Philpott — after allegations surfaced, that he and several high-profile Liberals and partisan bureaucrats improperly pressured the former AG to defer prosecution of the Montreal-based engineering firm. But the most pressing issue for Justin Trudeau on Monday was… climate change? That’s weird, especially when poll after poll shows that climate change is not a top of mind electoral issue for most Canadians. In fact, environmental issues regularly poll lower in importance to voters than jobs, pipelines and the economy. With the popularity of three carbon tax fighting premiers, Doug Ford, Scott Moe and Blaine Higgs, and the impending election of a fourth, Jason Kenney, carbon taxes and climate change are losing issues for the Liberals. But, somehow these two items remain Liberal flagship issues. They won't shut up about them! That’s because of the power and influence environmental NGOs have over the electoral system in Canada. It's all about cash, and they have a lot of it. Sometimes single ENGOs are able to out-fundraise major political parties. My guest this evening has all the details. Joining me tonight to discuss her recent report exposing the enormous sums of money ENGOs have to steer politics in Canada is Michelle Stirling, communications manager for Friends of Science.

Trudeau and the Liberals are going to try to brazen this out. The only people who can stop them now are the police... GUEST: Pardes Seleh

The Ezra Levant Show (March 5, 2019) —We might not have the pipelines like South Dakota does. And that probably won’t happen until Trudeau’s gone. But there’s no reason why self-respecting Canadian provinces can’t pass riot boosting laws just like my new hero Kristi Noem is doing in South Dakota. GUEST Barbara Kay.

Real work is declining. Real things — construction, oil, gas, building cars. But don’t worry, my dudes. Just smoke some pot, and it'll all be ok... GUEST: Manny Montenegrino

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, that was a really slow news week in Ottawa, eh? Hardly! Ezra Levant joins us to offer his insight into the ongoing dumpster fire that is the SNC Lavalin scandal. We recently filed an access to information request regarding vetting policies and procedures for Syrian refugees Trudeau rushed into Canada. Prepare to be shocked, folks. Sheila Guun Reid will bring us all the disturbing details. So a guy publishes a 12-point checklist itemizing those attributes that make women attractive to men, and the usual suspects lose their collective minds. Martina Markota has the nitty-gritty on that one. And finally letters. I’ll share some of your responses to my commentary regarding adorable Amy, the Alberta-born ISIS bride who is now stuck in a Syrian refugee camp. And get this? Even though Canada is infested with infidels, Amy now wants to come back home. Don’t want to be harsh here, but boo-friggin’-hoo...

The Ezra Levant Show (March 1, 2019) — I think he might actually lose the next election. And frankly, I think he might actually quit before then... GUEST: James O'Keefe of Project Veritas.

The Liberals want total state control over the internet. And if what we heard during this panel is any indications, all the Conservatives have to say is: Go harder and faster, and just do it already....

Tommy Robinson flipped the script on the media and the Rebel had a front row seat. Robinson captured the BBC’s flagship investigative journalism show, Panorama, colluding with far left-wing activist group “Hope Not Hate”, to create a false narrative about him - that he was a sexually harassing employer and a virulent, violent racist. Robinson presented the evidence in a documentary called “Panodrama,” playing it on a big screen before thousands of adoring fans in front of the BBC offices. Since then, Robinson’s Facebook and Instagram accounts have been suspended, suspiciously, just as his movie reached 1M views on Mark Zuckerberg’s omnipotent social media platform. The Rebel was there at the world premiere of Robinson's documentary because, as Robinson’s documentary revealed, you just can't trust the mainstream media. Ezra Levant was on stage to get the other side of the story, and so was someone else Ezra brought with him all the way from Canada. Singer-songwriter, Kelly Day flew from Prince Albert Saskatchewan to the UK to perform her beautiful and stirring rendition of Owen Benjamin’s, How They Rule Ya. Today, a slightly jet-lagged but still fired-up Kelly, joins me on the Gunn Show, to give us the inside scoop on all the Panorama drama, and so much more.

Today, she negotiated her appearance at a Parliamentary committee. Trudeau waived some of his legal privilege, to allow her to talk at least somewhat. And she did. It’s about half an hour. I’m just going to play it to you in full, stopping from time to time to give my thoughts.

This is how you unperson someone in 2019. The government has learned something in the past decade. Now it uses the internet to do its censoring. No need for a messy trial. No need for interrogations that can be recorded, or appealed. Just have a friend at Facebook push a button. And it’s done.

The Ezra Levant Show (February 25, 2019) — If you were to knock on 1,000 doors in Alberta and ask, "What is a key issue in this provincial election, I doubt a single person would say: "We need more immigration."

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. The Trudeau Liberals are proposing a new whiz-bang idea in this day and age of fake news. Namely, they want to monitor social media sites in order to determine which content is acceptable for Canadians. Um, feeling nervous yet? Rebel Commander Ezra Levant will have all the lurid details. Guess what? The CBC has come up with a brand-new way to squander taxpayer dollars. Namely, they’re looking to hire someone to implement the corporation’s diversity and inclusion plan. Sounds like great TV! Sheila Gunn Reid has all the nitty-gritty details. We all know Alec Baldwin is a blowhard. But who knew he was so thin-skinned as well? Because apparently, Baldwin is fearing for his personal safety after President Trump criticized... Saturday Night Live? Wow. Ben Davies has all the unbelievable details... And finally letters. I’ll share some of the letters we received regarding my commentary about a Toronto woman who threw a chair off a high-rise condo onto a busy expressway. But instead of cowering in shame, she’s embracing the infamy. Looks like Andy Warhol was right after all...

The Ezra Levant Show (February 22, 2019) — Sheila Gunn Reid sits in for Ezra Levant. GUEST: United We Roll convoy organizer Haley Wile

This is part of the price of being a conservative in Canada. But I think we have to pay it. MORE at FindTheThug.com.

The United We Roll Convoy for Canada has made its way to Ottawa, which has mainstream media smear-merchants working over time to discredit the convoy and the pro-pipeline message they brought along for the long ride. Without speaking to any of them, a Maclean’s editor called the convoy “white nationalists.” The CBC said this in a Tweet: “a convoy of angry Albertans and other westerners rolls into Ottawa today for a mass protest against federal energy and environmental policies that has also become a magnet for extremist, anti-immigrant elements” With one tweet, CBC managed to make the case for their own defunding while simultaneously proving how elitist they are about the concerns of everyday Albertans. CBC can't possibly know what people on the convoy are thinking because they haven't been on the convoy, except for a few hundred kilometres. Everything the CBC writes about the mindset of those on the convoy is speculation, laden with anti-blue collar bias, and peppered with a desire to protect Trudeau at all costs. Only one reporter has been with these folks the entire time, from morning prayers to late night hotel dinners, and that was our Rebel reporter, Keean Bexte. Keean Bexte joins me tonight to bring us the real news from the United We Roll Convoy for Canada, and to bring us the other side of the story that you won’t see anywhere else in the mainstream media. P.S. To see all Keean’s reports on the United We Roll convoy, and support our independent reporting, go to RebelConvoy.com.

The Ezra Levant Show (February 20, 2019) — TONIGHT I'll take you through more of this disturbing announcement. It's vitally important that every Canadian learn exactly how the government proposes to control the media narrative. So what did Andrew Scheer’s Conservatives say in reply? GUEST Lorne Gunter.

The Ezra Levant Show (February 19, 2019) — Everything with the Liberal Party is a lie. They’ve changed their story a half dozen times. Meanwhile, the media’s attention span is almost out. They have zero curiosity. Unless the RCMP do something... GUEST: Keean Bexte

The Ezra Levant Show (February 18, 2019) — This is fake news with a purpose — to justify the massive government intervention in social media. Mark my words: this is a pretext. We’re the only media they can’t control. So they'll just get Twitter to do it... GUEST: Joel Pollak

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. The SNC-Lavalin scandal continues to take myriad twists and turns. In the meantime, the Justin Trudeau Liberals are clearly in panic-mode. Rebel Commander Ezra Levant, brings us the latest… The Yellow Vest Convoy is rolling east and it will be hitting Ottawa early Tuesday. Keean Bexte is embedded in that convoy, and brings us the latest on this massive protest. Pity Mr. Assman, whose name is spelled A-S-S-M-A-N. He wants a vanity plate displaying his surname. But the bureaucrats in Saskatchewan are saying “nein!” because apparently this would prove too offensive to other motorists. Sheila Gunn Reid has all the comical details… And finally letters. I’ll share some of the letters we received regarding my report on how the Academy Awards has thrown in the towel regarding having a host this year. Apparently, there is a dearth of celebrities who can combine comedy with being inoffensive. End-result: Get ready for a snooze-fest this year – assuming you’re still watching this thing, that is…

The Ezra Levant Show (February 15, 2019) — Maybe one in ten times, a story like the attack on Jussie Smollett is true. But the other nine times, it’s a scammer. And like the boy who cried wolf, when we really need to care, or pay attention, no-one will believe it anymore... GUEST: Janice Atkinson

The Ezra Levant Show: February 14, 2019 : As we mark our fourth anniversary — and enter our fifth year — we do so stronger than we ever have been. And, if I may say so, more needed than ever. With Trudeau paying off the mainstream media with his slush fund, and social media companies censoring conservatives, our Rebel voice is needed, in Canada, and even around the world.

The Gunn Show with Sheila Gunn Reid (February 13, 2019) - Did you know that Oil & Gas and Mining are the largest employers of First Nations people in the country? These high paying jobs are giving Canada's indigenous peoples an opportunity to pull themselves, and their communities, out of the generational poverty that has plagued so many of them. There’s also a burgeoning business class amongst Canada's First Nations, particularly in Western Canada — especially in places like Fort McMurray thanks in no small part to oil and gas development and partnerships with major oil companies. But you wouldn't know that if you got all your news from the mainstream media. These indigenous success stories are seldom told. Instead, the mainstream media favours the handful of radicals and kooks, like those at Camp Cloud and at the Wetsuwetsin blockade, who inhibit prosperity not only for indigenous communities but for the whole country. Over the weekend, a pro-oil and gas rally and truck convoy in Lac La Biche, Alberta was led by Aboriginal groups. The media is reporting this event as the first of it’s kind, but that’s because the media has been asleep at the wheel for a long time. Aboriginal people have been speaking up for years about what resource development means to their communities. But the media have given their coverage to the cranks and whackos. For the better part of a decade, Metis pro-oil activist, Robbie Picard, of Oil Sands Strong, has been spreading the good news of the oilsands to anyone who will listen. Tonight Robbie joins me to talk about the truck convoy to Ottawa and what he has planned next to support the industry.

The Ezra Levant Show (February 13, 2019) Yesterday, Trudeau started to fight back, essentially calling her a liar. The media are convinced, and the official Ottawa Liberals are circling the wagons. GUEST: Keean Bexte.

The Ezra Levant Show (February 12, 2019) — What delicious irony that she’s the only one in Trudeau’s cabinet who actually acted with integrity and loyalty to the country... GUEST: Manny Montenegrino

The Ezra Levant Show (February 11, 2019): "The Libranos" are back, people. I miss Stephen Harper... GUEST: Barbara Kay

Every Friday evening on Rebel Roundup, we get together with other Rebel contributors to review the week's headlines, from the serious to the absurd. Settle in and enjoy! Guess what? Canada is in a trade war with the U.S. But why haven’t you heard anything about this war in the mainstream media? Rebel Commander Ezra Levant shall explain all … Attention pickup truck owners: If you drive such a rig, then you’re obviously a caveman. Says who? Says Calgary’s Mayor Naheed Nenshi, that’s who. Sheila Gunn Reid stops in with all the unbelievable details. Is nothing sacred? Victoria’s Secret is all about catering to women – as in real women – who love wearing fancy lingerie. But now the transgender community wants to strut their stuff as Victoria’s Secret models. Martina Markota will weigh in on this 2019 version of The Crying Game... And finally letters. I’ll share some of the letters we received regarding my report on how Toronto’s domestic homeless are left out in the cold while Justin Trudeau’s refugees enjoy central heating and three squares a day at several Toronto-area hotels.

The Ezra Levant Show (February 8, 2019) — They’re using a really dumb complaint to ask for a really powerful remedy — government regulation of the Internet. In fact, Trudeau’s Liberal candidate in Burnaby, at a candidates' debate for the by-election there (where Jagmeet Singh is running too) called for the United Nations to regulate the Internet. GUEST Andrew Lawton

The Ezra Levant Show (February 7, 2019) —There's a lot more, but I want to note that the amount SNC-Lavalin paid in bribes wasn’t just a hundred grand (which is what Trudeau’s illegal vacation on Billionaire’s Island cost.) They paid $48 million in bribes. For some reason, despite SNC-Lavalin really looking like a criminal organization, cabinet just won’t stop giving them contracts. I wonder why. GUEST: Joel Pollak

Calgary's ultra-progressive Mayor Naheed Nenshi has had a rough couple of months. Nenshi’s desperate attempt to cement his legacy in the form of a multi-billion dollar Olympics in the middle of an economic downturn fizzled out after taxpayers rejected the idea at the ballot box. Then, through freedom of information requests, our friends at taxpayer advocacy group Save Calgary, uncovered collusion between a mole in the Calgary Sun newsroom and the Calgary City administration. An article by Rick Bell that was critical of council, was leaked to the city by someone in the newsroom before it was ever published. Now, new reports are out showing a startling increase in crime in neighbourhoods where Nenshi’s city council has plunked a supervised drug injection site. And of course, Nenshi stuck both legs up to his knees right into his mouth when he said that Calgarians aren’t all just a bunch of “F-350 driving cavemen” in one of the most bizarre and pretentious attempts to defend the ethical nature of Alberta’s oil patch I have ever heard. There isn’t much accountability down at Calgary city hall. The conservatives on council are outnumbered and out-gunned. And that’s where Save Calgary comes in. They fight for transparency and honesty in municipal government. Joining me tonight from Save Calgary is a good friend of the show, William McBeath, to talk about Nenshi’s terrible end to 2018, followed by an even worse start in 2019.

The Ezra Levant Show — February 6, 2019: I think it means that all of the existing political entities have failed the west. Obviously the Liberals, but the NDP doesn’t much like it either. And the Conservative Party? Well, the stats speak for themselves: People prefer another party to it; they prefer separatism to it. That’s sad. GUEST: Manny Montenegrino

The Ezra Levant Show — February 5, 2019: Three news stories, three new disasters with Justin Trudeau’s mass migration policy. Justin Trudeau’s obsession with Muslim immigration is a security threat. It’s overwhelming our police and security. And it’s pushing loyal, honest citizens out of the way for social services, as thousands of illegals jump the queue. GUEST Dr. Daniel Pipes.
