Rebel News Podcast

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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...

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

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.

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 situ...

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 nigh...

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...

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.'

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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,...

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 Goog...

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.

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...

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 careful...

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 th...

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
