PragerU's host of Amala Ekpunobi: Unapologetic joins along with uber-popular commentator and Australian Sydney Watson to face a gauntlet of popular stories. The ladies give their opinion on a recent feud between Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy and conservative comedian/activist Alex Stein, which had some would-be fans of both personalities pulling back some of their support.

The duo also discuss NBA champion Dennis Rodman's aspirations of freeing women's basketball star Brittney Griner from Russian prison.

As well, the ladies give their remarks behind the paywall about a trans-identifying 10-year-old whom already has plans to have a sex change surgery at the age of 16, with the approval of two 'non-binary' parents. This, all while the child is set to walk the runway at a New York City fashion show for a 'transgender clothing' brand.

With so many topics and so much abuse to hurl around, join Andrew Says and two of the biggest female personalities with exclusive segments on RebelNews+!

EZRA LEVANT | Patrick Brown exonerated from another scandal — but we think the fix is in

GUEST HOST: David Menzies

You might remember our big scoop back in June when we revealed that Patrick Brown was using city of Brampton staff in his now thankfully aborted quest for the leadership for the Conservative Party of Canada.

Well, it turns out that our report prompted Brampton City Councillor Elaine Moore to file a complaint to the Brampton Integrity Commissioner’s office. That’s because using municipal resources and city staffers without them taking an unpaid leave of absence is contrary to the City of Brampton Code of Conduct and the Election Finances Act of Ontario and the Canada Elections Act.

Well, guess what? The investigation into these shenanigans just wrapped. And amazingly, the integrity commissioner has found that Mayor Patrick Brown did NOT – I repeat – did NOT wrongfully use city staff during his ill-fated CPC campaign.

GUEST: Marc Morano joins David to talk about his upcoming book, The Great Reset: Global Elites and the Permanent Lockdown.

SHEILA GUNN REID | Robbie Picard from Oilsands Strong is going on a national tour

The oil patch is a life-changing industry.

It gives people a way out of generational poverty without the burden of enormous student loans and the lag time between entry into the industry and earning potential. You can earn a fair income for your family with a strong work ethic and a desire to learn.

I think that's one of the reasons the Laurentian elites hate it so much. In the West, there is no such thing as “old money” and people in the path can earn as much as doctor, depending on what they do and how much they work. There are no social caste gatekeepers in the patch, as there are in liberal academic circles. It's true equality. There is no totem pole of oppression, just one of work experience.

And it's not just the people working in the patch that benefit from the jobs. Economic activity created by patch jobs keeps entire communities alive and farmers on the land.

The human story of oil and gas growth must be told, likewise the human cost when bad economic and green policies stop development.

That's what Robbie Picard from Oilsands Strong is doing with his national bus tour. He is going to visit the people and places of the oil and gas industry and speak to them to show the world who and what the oil patch is.

Robbie joins me tonight in an interview we recorded yesterday afternoon when we both visit the Rebel News Calgary HQ.

I want to show you some news — it's not going to look like news at first, it's going to look like a rock music video with beautiful models.

I saw it a few weeks ago. They sort of look cool, the beautiful people. And I want to show you another video, I think it was shot at a bar.

Who are those super cool, beautiful people?

Well, they're not actually super models, they're politicians. And the star of those videos, the dancing girl, is Sanna Marin, the prime minister of Finland.

GUEST: Mark Joseph, a lawyer with The Democracy Fund joins Ezra to talk about their latest legal action on ArriveCAN and booster mandates for students at Western University.

EZRA LEVANT | Yesterday in Peterborough: I fought the law, and the law won

GUEST HOST: David Menzies

Hey, folks, we finally had our day in court in that charming city of Peterborough, Ontario, otherwise known as the municipality where freedom goes to die under the ever-watchful gaze of a potty-mouthed mayor…

I’ll cut to the chase: I was found guilty yesterday of the heinous crime of not social distancing and/or masking when we covered a protest at Peterborough’s Confederation Park back on April 24, 2021.

Bottom line: perhaps you can score the Monday trial as a legal loss for us. Hey, you win some, you lose some. But I truly think that in the department of unintended consequences, this trial made for a journalistic win. Thanks to their prosecution of us and others, we have clearly exposed that the people running the City of Peterborough and the Police Service and even the courts embrace a hypocritical double standard.

GUEST: Avi Yemini joins David to talk about how he was denied entry to New Zealand to report on an anti-government protest in Wellington.

Miss Understood No. 28 — Feminists: Just Shut Up

In Episode No. 28 of Miss Understood, we analyze the latest feminist news to hit the scene. From Serena Williams retiring from tennis cause she has a uterus to actress and producer Mindy Kaling promoting single motherhood, it appears this movement doesn't really believe it when they say “women can have it all.”

Plus, did you know working from home more negatively impacts women than men? We certainly didn't (because it doesn't).

DAILY | Trudeau, green schemes and democracy; Avi blocked from NZ; Mask and vax mandates return

Alberta and Quebec unite on today's livestream, as hosts Sheila Gunn Reid and Alexa Lavoie take a look at Prime Minister Trudeau's obsession with green schemes (and how these environmental issues are apparently staples of democracy), Rebel reporter Avi Yemini being barred from New Zealand and the return of mask and vaccine mandates at some post-secondary schools in Ontario — will more follow suit?

EZRA LEVANT | Theresa Tam cost Canadians $120 million in 90 days, so why hasn't this failure been fired?

With the bungled response at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and given the Trudeau government treating it as incredibly severe, why is Chief Public Health Officer Theresa Tam getting a raise instead of a notice of termination?

GUEST: Selene Galas

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.

For those who embrace freedom, last Friday was a shocking day indeed. A 24-year-old hooligan attempted to murder author Salman Rushdie at a public event in New York. But why? Raheel Raza will try to make sense of it all.

And say hello to our newest Rebel News reporter. That would be Katie Daviscourt based in Seattle, Washington. And what a story she has to tell. You see, Katie first got involved in journalism when city council and the mainstream media in Seattle decided to completely ignore the violent antics of Antifa and Black Lives Matter as they laid siege to her city. Katie shall explain all.

And letters; we get your letters; we get your letters every minute of every day. And I’ll share some of your letters about my monologue last week regarding how the World Economic Forum wants us to give up our cars in the name of climate change… or something. Sorry Klaus Schwab. It just ain’t gonna happen. But hey, Mr. Schwab, nothing’s stopping you from giving up your chauffeur-driven limo or trading-in your filet mignon for a cricket sandwich… I think that’s called leading by example… which ain’t gonna happen either.

Those are your Rebels, now let’s round ‘em up…

EZRA LEVANT | Is a form of apartheid making a come back? Not in South Africa, but in Canada?

GUEST HOST: David Menzies

My spouse said something the other day that struck me. She said that it seems that in our not-so-wonderous woke world of 2022, apartheid is making a comeback. Not in South Africa, mind you, where it was eradicated in the early ’90s. No, a form of apartheid-lite, if you will, is being embraced in so many western democracies due to political correctness and woke-ism and, yes, Marxism.

GUEST: Mark Meincke is a veteran and the host of the Trauma Recovery Podcast.

Kat Krozonouski and Alexa Lavoie wrap up another week with a look at what's causing the transmission of monkeypox according to more and more researchers, Russia rewarding mothers with $1 million rubles for having 10 kids, and a New Democrat MP who wants to close indoor ice rinks because of climate change.

One of the most exciting guests to ever grace Andrew Says, former Bachelorette in Paradise star Leo Dottavio takes a break from stand-up comedy to join the show.

Dottavio, who is a staple on the Danny Mullen channel, also spent time as a Hollywood stunt man before his foray into the reality show world. As the lead in one of Universal Studio's most highly regarded attractions (Waterworld), the former Division 1 college athlete has transitioned smoothly into podcasting, comedy and the world of YouTube.

The California native joins Andrew Says to discuss all of his former careers, including being a 'controversial' reality show participants, a world where Dottavio says he truly didn't belong.

“I wouldn't call it fake...but there's definitely acting going on and they aren't telling people there is,” he explained.

The comedian described some of his most hilarious encounters, including at the infamous — and notoriously left-wing — Evergreen College as well as attending a WNBA game and trying to get a date with one of the players... during the game.

“A WNBA game is actually a great place to host a bachelor party, I invite everyone watching to have their bachelor party at a WNBA game and you won't be disappointed,” Dottavio told Andrew Chapados.

Exclusively on RebelNews+, Leo Dottavio gives his words on the political climate in the United States and explains why his channel was deleted from YouTube.
