Today I talk about Catherine McKenna's trip to Indonesia in her 20s,
00:00:23.320
where she did some gross things. Yeah, gross is just gross, though.
00:00:27.320
She did some immoral things, and it's all on video.
00:00:30.820

Tonight, Catherine McKenna ate a dog, watched a cockfight, and attended a forced marriage.
00:01:05.400
No, this is not a joke. It's October 6th, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:09.620
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:15.400
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:19.480
The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:01:25.360
Great scoop the other day by the website The Post Millennial.
00:01:35.220
They found an old travel video featuring Catherine McKenna, the disgraced Trudeau cabinet minister,
00:01:40.740
back before she was in politics, and she was one of four stars, I guess, of a reality-style travel movie.
00:01:48.160
An early version of a travel blog or those Instagram travelers, but it was turned into a movie, 45 minutes.
00:01:55.960
It was sort of like a reality TV show before those were a big thing.
00:02:00.100
McKenna and three young men traveled together, lived in tents together,
00:02:05.400
really spent every waking and sleeping moment together for 60 days as they went through Indonesia.
00:02:10.660
That's a quirky arrangement, don't you think? But let's put that aside for now.
00:02:14.680
The Post Millennial clipped a few moments from the video, and obviously it got under McKenna's skin
00:02:25.420
Conservatives seem to think a 25-year-old documentary that ran on Discovery's Travel Channel for years is a gotcha moment.
00:02:36.000
Then back to this century so we can keep helping people through COVID-19 and build a better Canada.
00:02:42.200
Well, I'm actually glad she tweeted that because I hadn't seen the original video.
00:02:48.440
I couldn't find it. I just saw the clips that the Post Millennial had published.
00:02:52.320
So I did what McKenna said, and I did watch the whole thing.
00:03:00.780
As I mentioned, McKenna and three young men went hiking through Indonesia for two months.
00:03:05.900
Better known for its political and social unrest than its surf and sand,
00:03:11.360
Indonesia is one of the most diverse and exciting countries to travel.
00:03:15.140
With the prospect of fun and adventure, our group of four set out to travel from Jakarta to Flores in 60 days,
00:03:21.640
covering a span of 1,500 miles through some of the most remote regions in southern Indonesia.
00:03:29.660
Catherine was the diplomat and the bravest one in the group.
00:03:31.980
But how she managed to keep her sanity with three other guys, we'll never know.
00:03:35.880
I'm going to tell you, it's torture being beside build-up.
00:03:38.340
I should mention that in the credits rolling at the end of the film,
00:03:49.000
But what she published, what they broadcast, had her approval.
00:04:00.280
Shots of McKenna sleeping on buses is not riveting TV.
00:04:10.840
We picked up a hitchhiker named BMO who invited us to a Balinese cockfight.
00:04:18.260
Before we entered the fight, BMO explained that everyone who watched
00:04:30.020
had to donate 5,000 Indonesian rupiah, or three U.S. dollars, as a bribe to the police.
00:04:35.760
Apparently the police would show up and threaten arrest if they didn't receive any money.
00:04:42.980
It's pitting two animals against each other to the death.
00:04:46.480
It's the kind of thing that Michael Vick did to dogs, the disgraced NFL quarterback who
00:04:51.680
forced his own pets to fight and injure each other.
00:04:55.020
He also did extremely cruel things like drowning his pets alive.
00:05:05.760
So that's what's going on here, except that these local peasants,
00:05:09.000
were actually affixing blades to the claws of these birds.
00:05:18.180
But these men wanted it more violent, more painful,
00:05:25.400
So they attached these blades to these birds to wound and hurt each other,
00:05:30.960
and they forced the fight to go on until one animal died.
00:05:35.920
So they collected money to pay bribes to any police who happened to come by.
00:05:53.080
It was aired on TV, and McKenna, presumably, as a producer, got paid for this.
00:06:04.280
They filmed themselves not only breaking that law,
00:06:07.640
but putting together money to break another law, bribing the police.
00:06:15.280
it was bought by the Discovery Channel, apparently.
00:06:18.760
They paid for that, and McKenna made money off it.
00:06:23.200
When the cocks were armed and ready for battle,
00:06:59.840
And in tradition, the winner of the fight brought home the loser for dinner.
00:07:19.700
You don't have to romanticize it, worsen it, with such joy.
00:07:23.620
Here's another scene where McKenna is eating dogs.
00:07:28.840
I found out one of the most popular dishes in Flores was dog.
00:07:38.040
Now, I don't know how the dogs were killed for her meal.
00:07:48.340
I understand that some places in the world eat dogs,
00:08:00.680
If you were literally starving, you probably would.
00:08:04.760
But what if you were just on a vacation for kicks?
00:08:17.680
I wonder if she's ever had any regret over eating a dog.
00:08:36.740
I don't know about you, but dog content is some of my favorite content.
00:08:42.080
Yeah, what was the dog content of your last meal?
00:08:57.800
I guess once you've paid to watch an illegal cockfight,
00:09:01.220
where abusing animals is literally the whole point of it,
00:09:04.300
merely eating a boiled dog might not seem so bad.
00:09:09.580
Although later in the movie, McKennell moans about missing steak.
00:09:13.320
I presume she means beef, but you never know with her.
00:09:31.440
But there's one scene near the end of the movie about a wedding she attended.
00:09:38.560
It's when a bride's family and a groom's family make an agreement about a wedding,
00:09:43.020
and falling in love is not the key component, but rather the two families' compatibility.
00:09:48.140
There are very many successful arranged marriages.
00:09:51.600
The compatibility of both families is indeed important in life.
00:09:55.000
And many couples in such arranged marriages do fall in love.
00:09:59.520
In the romantic Western concept of the word, but that's not the primary purpose of it.
00:10:07.700
Many arranged marriages have the support of the bride and groom.
00:10:15.200
This is not two families agreeing to join together.
00:10:28.200
It's a young woman put up for sale to the highest bidder.
00:10:37.740
Both families do seem supportive, so the documentary claims.
00:10:41.280
But they say the brutal fact of it, she was bought and sold.
00:10:46.080
She was traded for a few animals and some cash.
00:11:09.840
The bride price was three buffaloes and four and a half million rupees.
00:11:25.600
It was whoever paid the most got the woman for himself.
00:11:37.660
As the evening wound down, our hosts opened up a pink velvet honeymoon room.
00:11:44.220
This was where the bride and groom were to consummate their wedding.
00:11:56.740
Maybe she wasn't really sold for some cash and two buffaloes or whatever it was.
00:12:01.940
Maybe this is what Catherine McKennell means when she says, she's a feminist.
00:12:19.440
I believe in traveling to places where their cultures are different from our own.
00:12:34.780
But neither did I go to participate in things that are morally repugnant to me.
00:12:43.580
And it is culturally acceptable in some countries.
00:12:46.420
I just don't think I could eat a bite without my body making me gag and throw up.
00:12:52.420
How could she do that as a professed dog lover?
00:13:01.000
To deliberately cheer and lust for the painful death of an animal.
00:13:15.420
So if the Indonesian government, you know, they were trying to stop cockfighting.
00:13:19.940
They had police trying to enforce the laws against animal cruelty.
00:13:23.040
But a bunch of rich Westerners put in some real cash to corrupt the local police.
00:13:27.660
To stop them from cracking down on animal abuse.
00:13:33.380
Catherine McKenna just wanted her documentary and she wanted to film the blood.
00:13:40.480
We don't know enough about it to judge for sure.
00:13:44.420
I don't think we can trust much that the narrator of this strange documentary says.
00:13:50.100
But if we take them at face value, this was not two families agreeing to join together.
00:13:56.220
This was not two families who believed that their children was a match.
00:13:59.820
And that lust or romantic love was just less important in compatibility.
00:14:06.680
This was not an arranged marriage like that though.
00:14:09.320
Going by McKenna's movie, she was a producer, not just a star of it.
00:14:13.700
That young woman was sold for the highest price.
00:14:19.020
If someone had offered more cash in the auction, she'd be with him.
00:14:26.060
The only arrangement was the paying of the price.
00:14:38.160
I think Catherine McKenna owes us an explanation for these things.
00:14:45.320
Catherine McKenna, I mean, she went there as a grown woman.
00:14:51.460
Even if the decision to do these things was made in the spur of the moment, the decision
00:14:56.660
to participate in a cockfight and bribe police, to eat dog meat, to celebrate a woman being
00:15:01.540
sold, she had time to contemplate them, to think about them.
00:15:04.720
The movie was made and produced and broadcast long after the fact.
00:15:08.520
As a producer, she would have helped choose what was in the final cut.
00:15:12.720
She approved of the messages after reflecting on the whole thing.
00:15:16.880
This is who she is, and presumably she got paid for it.
00:15:23.000
Catherine McKenna is an immoral, unethical woman.
00:15:27.380
And if you've got a dog, do yourself a favor and keep it on a leash when McKenna is nearby.
00:15:34.960
I think Catherine McKenna has to answer for these things.
00:15:43.920
Does she regret in attending a bloody, deathly cockfight that abused animals?
00:15:51.880
And does this feminist have any compunction about attending the wedding of someone who
00:15:59.760
You know, there's not a lot to laugh at here, but we've got to have a sense of humor about things.
00:16:09.000
A gentle reminder of what Catherine McKenna did, the least of what she did.
00:16:15.280
If you want a copy of this shirt, go to Catherine McKenna, spelt the right way,
00:16:45.800
I tell you, there's more news jammed into a day than into a month, into a year in the past.
00:16:52.480
It's hard to believe that it was just a week ago that Trump and Biden were squaring off in the
00:16:58.740
Since then, Donald Trump has been diagnosed with COVID, gone to the hospital, come back.
00:17:06.480
Joe Biden has done town halls with sympathetic journalists, and he's brought out the age-old
00:17:19.160
In fact, as you may know, his daughter Ivanka converted to Judaism, married another Jew named
00:17:27.540
The kids call him Zaydi, which is the Yiddish word for grandpa.
00:17:32.800
Not just that, but Trump has done what I personally thought was impossible, namely bringing peace
00:17:40.740
Forget about small symbolic things like moving the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem,
00:17:52.440
That's something that's not just of interest to Jews.
00:17:55.080
It's of interest to anyone who wants an election where you don't throw the word Nazi at someone
00:18:02.740
Joining us now via Skype is our friend Joel Pollack.
00:18:08.480
Joel, I think there are Jews who are interested in this subject.
00:18:13.180
There are Zionist Christians who are interested in Israel and being pro-Israel.
00:18:18.680
And there's conservatives who aren't motivated by religion who just support the West's ally
00:18:31.560
But larger than the case of Israel itself, I'm just sick of the left and the media and the
00:18:38.860
professional hate finders using the word Nazi to demonize anyone on the right.
00:18:49.200
So I don't know that it necessarily convinces anyone who doesn't already dislike Donald Trump,
00:18:55.320
but it is effective in making it harder to support him publicly, especially because so
00:19:02.040
much of the media agree with what the left is telling the public.
00:19:07.060
They are, in fact, the vehicle and the authors, in many cases, of many of these negative messages.
00:19:13.800
So the word Nazi has been cheapened to the point where even Jewish organizations no longer
00:19:19.820
complain when someone misuses an analogy to the Holocaust.
00:19:25.120
When Joe Biden compared Donald Trump to Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi propaganda minister who was
00:19:31.240
Hitler's right hand man and chief anti-Semite, nobody complained.
00:19:38.080
The Anti-Defamation League offered a weak statement several days later, but they didn't
00:19:44.460
In contrast, when Donald Trump was asked to denounce white supremacists at the first presidential
00:19:49.180
debate, and he did so, they said he didn't do so strongly enough.
00:19:52.720
And they circulated a petition to get Jewish organizations to oppose Donald Trump.
00:19:58.280
Now, they watered it down significantly after we blew the lid off it, when we got a leak
00:20:04.000
from someone who was given the petition and they had to water it down.
00:20:09.420
They removed the name Trump from the petition, but they retained the substance.
00:20:14.140
There is a real kind of self-destruction going on among Jewish institutions that have been
00:20:20.460
unwilling to stand up against this sort of desecration of the Holocaust because so many
00:20:25.160
of them are owned essentially by the Democratic Party, that they understand the task for them
00:20:34.260
The task for them is to try to push for a change in administration without risking their
00:20:42.980
I find it very frustrating, and I see it in Canada, too, to a lesser extent.
00:20:48.500
I mean, the ADL, which stands for the Anti-Defamation League, we have sort of a branch of that
00:20:55.420
The ADL is actually run by a former senior Obama aide.
00:21:01.300
So I don't think they're even pretending to be nonpartisan.
00:21:03.900
Up here in Canada, about a decade ago, I was actually on the board of our version of
00:21:09.720
AIPAC, it was called the Canada-Israel Committee, and it morphed into other things, and there
00:21:14.940
was at least an attempt to have people of the conservative and the liberal and even other
00:21:21.140
stripes on it just to avoid the groupthink and in the knowledge that, you know, there
00:21:28.640
are changes in party and the opposition today may be in government next time, and it's a good
00:21:34.200
idea to have all parties sympathetic to Israel and fighting against anti-Semitism.
00:21:39.720
I find it odd that so much of the official Jewish establishment, or at least the so-called
00:21:49.480
You'd think they would want to have friends in all parties and make this an issue about
00:21:57.280
So it's important to understand that the money in politics right now is largely on the left.
00:22:02.240
The reason so much of what is happening, which seems unsustainable, if it were, to support
00:22:09.000
itself from its own fundraising, continues to occur, is because there are millions and millions
00:22:14.240
of dollars pouring in to the budgets of far left-wing organizations, pouring into the coffers
00:22:20.080
of far left-wing candidates who would have no chance in an ordinary time.
00:22:24.920
The money is on the left, and these organizations go where the money goes.
00:22:29.000
It's not, and let me just say this as a Jew, not because they're Jewish organizations, because
00:22:36.040
And it is part of what might be called the racism industry.
00:22:41.120
That's another aspect of this, where organizations like the ADL have to hype the dangers of white
00:22:48.760
supremacy so they can cough up or get donors to cough up the money to keep these organizations
00:22:56.320
going in an age where actually the need for an ADL is less than it's ever been before.
00:23:03.740
Jews are very prominent within the president's own family, even though he's very out about his
00:23:08.580
Christianity. This is an era where Jews have never enjoyed wider acceptance within American
00:23:13.880
society, and so this is a problem for the ADL. American society is also more tolerant in general
00:23:18.880
toward all minorities, blacks, immigrants, gays, and what have you. So the ADL has to manufacture
00:23:24.860
this crisis to some extent. That's why when there were 200 hoax bomb threats back in 2017,
00:23:31.180
the ADL still included the hoaxes in their annual statistics of anti-Semitic attacks, even though
00:23:37.620
they were fake. And the ADL uses those annual reports to go to donors and members of the public
00:23:44.200
asking for money. And other organizations work the same way, not just in the Jewish community,
00:23:49.340
in the black community, particularly also Catholic community. The Southern Poverty Law Center works
00:23:55.040
the same way. There's an interest financially in hyping the danger of these threats, and that's part of
00:24:01.180
the other part is that politically the money's on the left. Conservative donors are very, very bad
00:24:06.560
at funding the kinds of organizations that would sustain conservative politics outside of the normal
00:24:13.200
election cycle. What you see in terms of Donald Trump and the Republican Party is almost exclusively
00:24:19.420
related to grassroots fundraising, and there are some mega donors and so forth, but those are people
00:24:25.900
who focus on electing politicians and on promoting issues. There are very, very few billionaires on
00:24:34.120
the Republican side who invest in what might be called the institutional right, whereas the
00:24:37.920
institutional left is an entire ecosystem. Yeah, you know, we've gone through the Open Societies
00:24:43.120
Foundation. That's George Soros' own foundation. It's such an interesting website because it's not shy.
00:24:51.080
I mean, they use words to fudge what they're really up to, but they're quite boastful, and they,
00:24:56.860
right on their front page, acknowledge that Soros has given and pledged over $30 billion to these
00:25:06.240
institutional battles on the left. There's, I mean, I think of the families on the right, the Koch
00:25:12.780
Foundation, the Koch Industries. Richard Mellon Scaife was the, if I'm getting the name right, was the
00:25:20.100
fellow in the past. You know, they might give $100 million. They might give a billion over a lifetime,
00:25:26.320
but here's Soros personally in for $30 billion. I think it's not just in the Jewish community. I
00:25:32.600
think it's in the black community, radicalizing that community through Black Lives Matter. I think
00:25:37.460
it's in the environmental movement, which has been radicalized. I think it's in the Hispanic
00:25:43.280
movement, La Raza. I think that, ironically, it's the left with the dough. I think if you ask the
00:25:50.460
ordinary person, they'd say, oh, no, big companies have the dough. Yeah, but they're leftists these
00:25:56.980
Yeah, and again, the money on the right doesn't go into these kinds of permanent, agitating
00:26:03.200
organizations. I mean, the reason you have pro-life organizations is because there are a lot of
00:26:07.360
Christians. That's an organic source for pro-life activism. But the reason you have so much Antifa
00:26:13.400
is not because there are so many Americans who hate America. It's because there's a way of doing
00:26:19.060
this that fits in with the budgets of left-wing organizations. We showed several years ago how
00:26:26.020
many of the original Black Lives Matter protests back in 2014, 2015 were being supported in part by
00:26:34.140
Soros-funded organizations. At a recent riot in Louisville, Kentucky, after the announcement that
00:26:40.200
police officers wouldn't be directly charged in the death of Breonna Taylor, there was a woman who
00:26:44.360
showed up in a U-Haul truck, and people ran to the U-Haul truck and pulled out shields and signs and
00:26:50.040
weapons. And this woman turned out to be affiliated with a bail reform organization that I believe was
00:26:56.380
also Soros-funded. So, again, you have this kind of regiment or reserve of these left-wing soldiers
00:27:05.360
who are given gainful employment, if you can call it that, during the interim between protest actions.
00:27:11.200
And when things go nuts, then they're always there. You know, they're able to support themselves
00:27:17.020
financially. Conservatives don't do this. And I think most people would prefer this part of our
00:27:24.480
political world fade away. It hasn't contributed anything positive. It doesn't increase civic
00:27:29.400
engagement. Quite the opposite. I mean, George Soros calls his foundation the open society, but often
00:27:34.200
it's the opposite. George Soros is now synonymous with shutting down free speech, eliminating conservatives
00:27:40.600
from political discourse, and turning our cities upside down, which is exactly the opposite of how most
00:27:46.680
people want to live in an open society. Yeah. Ironically, if you mention that, that's called
00:27:52.660
anti-Semitic. Even here in Canada, a conservative MP didn't even allude to anything other than Soros
00:27:58.980
money causing strife, and she was denounced as anti-Semitic. The irony there being, of course,
00:28:05.640
Soros himself was born Jewish, but has expressed his antipathy towards the religion and is hostile to
00:28:13.580
the modern state. So it's very crazy times when a defender of Israel and Jews like Donald Trump
00:28:18.860
is called the word Nazi, but it shouldn't surprise us. I'm sure you are called that too, and you're
00:28:24.400
a practicing Jew. I'm not as observant as perhaps I should be. We're called that. It doesn't even mean
00:28:30.380
anything when it's thrown against us, but it cheapens the phrase. I wish we weren't called Nazis
00:28:36.600
because we have to keep that word like a sharp knife that's not dulled by overuse. Once in a while,
00:28:42.180
you really do have an anti-Semite or a Nazi. You need that word to mean something by calling Trump,
00:28:47.420
you, me, whatever, Nazis. The word doesn't have any meaning. Last word to you, Joel.
00:28:52.520
Well, I think that we have also arrived at the point where there's a larger problem
00:28:58.740
with the way the public has been taught about the Holocaust. Especially in the United States,
00:29:04.780
we've taught about the Nazis and the Holocaust as sort of a subset of a larger problem of racial
00:29:10.440
prejudice. So the idea is that there's a slippery slope. Once you start disliking a certain group of
00:29:16.560
people or if some people are discriminated against or if some people merely have less than others,
00:29:21.260
there's a slippery slope to the death camps. And to some extent, I think Jewish people in a well-meaning
00:29:28.940
way have also played into this. But if you actually look at what Nazism was about, Nazism was about the
00:29:34.960
idea that society is defined by races and that races have a place in a hierarchy and that institutional
00:29:44.700
arrangements have to be redone so that each race can occupy its appropriate place. And you start to
00:29:54.080
get into a philosophy that looks a lot more like what the left wants to do to American society than what
00:29:59.360
the right wants to do. I'm not one of those who thinks that national socialism is a left-wing
00:30:04.360
ideology. I don't think we can really describe the Nazis as being left. But I do think that today's
00:30:09.780
left is fascist in some of its ideology and their insistence on the importance of race, which goes
00:30:17.720
against everything in the liberal small L tradition, goes against the best of the American civil rights
00:30:24.760
movement. That insistence on race has a lot to do with the racial theories that really did lead
00:30:30.680
ultimately to the isolation of Jews within Europe, which preceded their extermination. I'm not saying
00:30:36.580
that we're in danger of exterminating anybody in the West. But just this morning, the Associated Press,
00:30:44.000
for example, did an article about how Trump's prosecutors, his U.S. attorneys, are overwhelmingly white,
00:30:52.180
or they're more white than Obama's was. Now, you're not asking the important questions, which is,
00:30:57.880
are they better at fighting crime? Do they get better results? Do they protect people's rights
00:31:03.160
better? Are they an effective check on local and state corruption? I mean, you're not looking at
00:31:09.520
what these attorneys do or what these prosecutors do. You're basically judging them on the basis of
00:31:14.840
race. And this is a rule that the Associated Press only applies to one group. You can't use the word
00:31:20.560
illegal aliens or the phrase illegal aliens. You have to use undocumented immigrants, even though
00:31:24.480
they're not immigrants. They're aliens, according to the law and according to common English.
00:31:28.120
You can't use the word riots anymore. AP came out a few days ago saying people shouldn't use the word
00:31:32.300
riots because of its negative connotations. So the AP is exquisitely sensitive when it comes to
00:31:37.840
everybody except white people. But when it comes to white people, it has no problem publishing articles
00:31:43.120
that are syndicated everywhere about the problem with Trump's prosecutors being their race.
00:31:47.300
And we are creating a situation where we're disadvantaging and impoverishing American society
00:31:54.180
as a whole by reintroducing race into our political discussion. If you ask people how we will know
00:32:00.120
when our society is no longer systemically racist, they'll say things like, well, when every race is
00:32:05.880
equally represented in some institution or another. That's the idea the Nazis had. The Nazis had the idea
00:32:11.080
that Jews were disproportionately represented in the professions and in business,
00:32:14.720
and they had to make way for Germans to take those spots, at least as regards their proportion of
00:32:20.700
the population. This is the same logic that's being used by some on the left, but they call it
00:32:25.080
socialism. But it's, you know, it's national socialism. It's essentially fascism. It's a form of
00:32:32.240
racism that sees our demography as our destiny. And it's such a regression that I think, at least I hope,
00:32:42.560
historians will look back one day at this moment and wonder how we possibly could have lost our collective minds
00:32:47.460
and lost touch with all the reasons we fought, all the struggles we did in the 20th century,
00:32:51.780
only to repeat the mistakes in the 21st. I hope it doesn't come to that, and I hope that our history isn't erased
00:32:56.780
if it does. But that's where we are right now. And I think that the lesson of societies that introduce race,
00:33:05.920
whether it's apartheid South Africa or post-liberations in Babu, you might even say
00:33:11.320
post-apartheid South Africa, but let me be at least generous there, any society that reintroduces race
00:33:20.900
We learn so much from you every time, Joel. What a pleasure to hear from you. Thanks for taking the time with us.
00:33:26.580
There you have it, Joel Pollack, senior editor at large at Breitbart.com. A lot to think about there.
00:33:35.920
Hey, welcome back. On last night's monologue, Phil writes,
00:33:48.360
Doug Ford is high in the polls, so why not continue restricting civil liberties?
00:33:51.940
That's what's so terrifying. There are a lot of politicians going back to elections right now.
00:33:56.700
There was just one in the Atlantic. Now, of course, Saskatchewan's going to the polls.
00:34:01.580
B.C.'s going to the polls. And I believe that people are afraid, and so they're just, well,
00:34:05.600
let's just stay with the government we have. I think Doug Ford, if he called an election now,
00:34:10.160
I think he would win. I think if Justin Trudeau called an election right now, I think he would
00:34:13.740
win. I think people are afraid, and they're giving up their civil liberties too easily.
00:34:19.280
Dad Zacharias writes, Doug Ford has turned out to be an idiot that follows the perceived vote wind.
00:34:27.760
We don't know what two brothers would have said about each other, and may Rob rest in peace,
00:34:31.900
but I think Rob truly believed in the grassroots wisdom. Doug, he just, I think he's more of a
00:34:38.440
schemer, and I think in many ways, Doug Ford has shown that he'll switch course if it profits him
00:34:44.840
politically. And on my interview with Andrew Lawton, P.J. Smith writes,
00:34:49.940
Andrew Lawton, net positive, I disagree. Biden is still hiding in this basement,
00:34:54.620
and this gives Trump time to come out to rallies at the end of the cycle.
00:34:58.700
Yeah, I'm not sure. I mean, we hear that Trump says he will attend the debate next week.
00:35:05.060
So, things are so fluid. Things are happening so crazily. A year in a day. That's how fast the
00:35:11.920
news is moving. Well, that's our show for today. Hey, if you want that Catherine McKennell
