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…

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.

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.

SHEILA GUNN REID | Outgoing Premier Jason Kenney's long goodbye is interfering with the race to replace him

Though Kenney has said that he would not endorse anyone to be his successor, he has spared no criticism for the apparent front-runner Danielle Smith for a policy that has become the cornerstone of her platform.

Smith has said she will introduce the Alberta Sovereignty Act if she wins the leadership of the United Conservative Party this fall. According to Smith, the law will give Alberta the power to ignore federal laws and court rulings deemed not in the province’s interest.

Legal scholars who slept through the last two years of unconstitutional rules and regulations imposed in the name of public safety are now calling Smith's proposal “illegal,” “unenforceable,” and disrespectful to the rule of law.

And Kenney called it “nuts” and that even if the legislature passed the law, the lieutenant-governor would refuse to give it royal assent and Alberta would become a “laughing stock.”

Who asked him? And since when does Kenney care about what's constitutional after 30 months of arrests of peaceful protesters, incarcerations of pastors and businessmen and seizures of diners and churches as part of his COVID enforcement strategy?

Joining me tonight to discuss Kenney sticking his nose into the middle of the race to replace him, the federal Conservative leadership race, and Trudeau's latest gun grab is Cory Morgan of the Western Standard.
