Hello everyone and welcome to the Daily Roundup. Today we're going to be chatting about Justin
00:00:19.400
Trudeau crashing the Calgary Stampede, the Liberals' lavish spending, and an indie film
00:00:25.080
outperforming Indiana Jones, of all things. I'm sure the folks at Disney are not too pleased
00:00:31.160
about that. Before I get into some of the nuts and bolts, very pleased to be joined by my co-host
00:00:36.620
for the day, Drea. Drea, how are you doing? I'm doing good. Good to see you again and be back
00:00:42.280
with the people for the Daily Roundup. That's awesome. It's fun. So folks, you're probably
00:00:47.580
joining us on one of these platforms. Otherwise, let me know because I'll be surprised. Rumble,
00:00:51.580
Odyssey, YouTube, Getter, or otherwise, if you subscribe to us on Locals, you might be getting
00:00:57.940
to our stream through there. That's a great way to support us and access some other sort of local
00:01:02.960
content. I do want to encourage you, if you are one of the folks watching on YouTube, folks seem to be
00:01:07.400
switching over to the sort of free speech-oriented platforms like Rumble. We tend to get more
00:01:11.640
viewership there. The reason that matters is because we don't want a platform that dictates what you
00:01:16.320
think or what you say or how you have to think. The internet, this platform, despite what Justin
00:01:21.100
Trudeau might say, is supposed to allow all people, as long as they're sort of being respectful,
00:01:26.000
not filing any laws, to share their opinions. And platforms like Rumble, they do just that. So
00:01:31.600
consider switching over there. The other really fun thing about a platform like Rumble is there's
00:01:36.880
a thing called Rumble Rants. You chip in a few bucks, and then you can actually engage with us,
00:01:41.060
unlike the sort of disconnected liberal media or mainstream media that takes money from your taxes,
00:01:45.740
and you get virtually no feedback. The only person giving them feedback is their handlers,
00:01:50.680
and that's probably some of Justin Trudeau's staffs. We have the opportunity to actually engage
00:01:55.060
with you, talk about some of these stories. So as the stories are coming in, if you're on Rumble,
00:01:58.840
consider weighing in. We'd like to engage with that. One of my favorite parts is towards the end of the
00:02:02.240
show, and we get to engage with that. It's also a way that we get to know which stories matter most
00:02:06.160
to you. And then we can be sure to cover more of that type of content in streams moving forward.
00:02:12.320
So on that note, we're going to start our day off, given that I'm in Calgary,
00:02:17.460
talking about Calgary. Before we get into the news, though, I just want to say congratulations
00:02:21.000
to Kian Simone, our chief documentarian. We had two sold-out screenings in Calgary for this
00:02:26.700
incredible documentary, Church Under Fire. Tamara Leach was there last night signing books. I was
00:02:31.420
bouncing the line, so to speak, and I think a couple hundred people got books signed. I took many
00:02:37.680
pictures. It was a great night. If you missed our world premiere, there is a report on that out.
00:02:42.320
Right now, so you can check that out. But there are screenings right across this country.
00:02:46.840
So go to savethechristians.com and grab some tickets. Check that out. Let's make sure all
00:02:52.500
of these events sold out. Ezra Levant last night and the night before said that this is the best
00:02:57.800
thing that Rebel News has ever produced. I agree. It looks absolutely incredible. And we've had some
00:03:03.400
incredibly strong films, your own coverage of the residential schools included. So we have some
00:03:08.700
strong projects. So that is quite the endorsement. Be sure to go check this out in other Calgary news
00:03:14.600
beyond those incredible screenings. I want to talk Calgary Stampede with you a little bit,
00:03:18.960
Drea. Drea, have you had a chance to come out to the Calgary Stampede?
00:03:21.740
I have never been there, but I want to go as long as the Premier isn't too close. Did he wear that
00:03:29.460
horrible cowboy hat? Or not the Premier, the Prime Minister, I meant to say.
00:03:35.080
Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, listen, I mean, Notley wore a cowboy hat backwards. So it's the former
00:03:40.240
Premier wearing hats backwards or the Prime Minister. Yeah, it's something else. And we're referring to it
00:03:46.500
as him crashing the Stampede. It's about as inorganic as anything. Before we get into some
00:03:53.940
of the sort of political stories, and Stampede is undeniably a political season. For those unfamiliar
00:03:59.420
with the Stampede, it's one of the biggest rodeos. It's rodeos that cowboys all over the world
00:04:04.420
look forward to. Some of the most money that can be made by cowboys. But beyond that, there's giant
00:04:09.720
concert tents. There's a free outdoor stage. The entire city sort of transformed anywhere from 1.2 to
00:04:16.340
1.4 million people come through the Stampede grounds. And with international travel returning
00:04:21.940
this year, they're expecting it's going to be a record year. With that, all those people available,
00:04:26.700
you will see Pierre Polyevre, Justin Trudeau, all the premiers, all the politicians, everything
00:04:31.320
having Stampede breakfasts, which is effectively, if you drive in any direction during Stampede for 10
00:04:36.480
minutes, there's going to be free pancakes somewhere. That's pretty much what the city looks
00:04:39.920
like during Stampede. And often it's politicians giving away these free pancakes, trying to lure you
00:04:46.200
in. There's also an opportunity for often politicians to come together and meet and all
00:04:51.860
that. We're going to get into that for a second. But before that, I kind of want to address the
00:04:57.020
sort of, there's a divide. Even last night talking to some people, there's a bit of a flood here in
00:05:02.100
Calgary. People were saying like, oh, if the Stampede grounds were to flood, that wouldn't be the end of
00:05:05.840
the world. You know, part of the Stampede is sort of debauchery and partying and there is all that to
00:05:14.660
it. But I've had the opportunity to do some reports in the past. If that's all you're paying attention
00:05:19.220
to, you're sort of missing the core of it. This is a well over 100 year old celebration of sort of
00:05:24.580
Western culture, values, cowboy culture, the sort of building blocks of this country that helped
00:05:30.320
establish the West and Canada at large. So I'm actually a big fan of the Calgary Stampede, maybe
00:05:36.200
not sort of some of the modern iterations of it, but the Stampede at its core. From someone who hasn't
00:05:42.340
been at the Stampede before, what's your sort of first impression of it? What do you hear about the
00:05:46.740
Calgary Stampede? Definitely you see the party aspect of it, but I think you can tell that there's more to
00:05:52.840
it than that. It's history. People seem proud to be out there. I was born in Alberta, but for some reason
00:05:58.520
I never went out there. But it's kind of one of those sort of trademark things that people do.
00:06:04.040
And no, it shouldn't be flooded. Like I said, right now, there is definitely more attention of
00:06:10.420
the political side, how the politicians sort of capitalize on it when they come out. And it's
00:06:14.840
interesting to see, you know, Trudeau tends to roll his sleeves up when he's around the working men,
00:06:20.380
and then he gets there in his cowboy hat and his belt. I don't know all the fashion,
00:06:26.580
how you're supposed to dress with it, but it's always awkward to see him in one of his many
00:06:31.760
costumes. So yeah, so it'll be interesting to see what happens this time around.
00:06:37.260
And it's absolutely a costume. You know, it's funny at our, at our, the recent report last week,
00:06:42.940
I was at the Pinocchio Stampede for Canada Day. And they actually, it was funny, I couldn't get back
00:06:47.340
in time, but they made me a dignitary. So I was going to like ride the stagecoach through the like
00:06:52.240
whole stadium, like the massive audience there. But there's a rule where you need to wear a cowboy
00:06:57.040
hat. So I basically like sprinted a couple clicks there and back to try and get back in time,
00:07:01.580
I didn't make it back. So for a bunch of that report, I'm wearing a cowboy hat, because I wasn't
00:07:05.020
going to go back to my vehicle. I had a bunch of reports to do and one hand's holding a camera,
00:07:08.980
one hand's holding a mic. So I've got a cowboy hat on. But like, you know, I do a bit of horseback
00:07:12.820
riding. I've had the opportunity to go with our friend Tarek, even a little bit of Western stuff.
00:07:17.640
I've spent some time on a farm. I've grown up in Alberta. And even I'm like, have I quite earned
00:07:21.980
the cowboy hat? Justin Trudeau has no shame. And he just puts on the costume, which you know what,
00:07:27.920
if you want to come down to Stampede, you're allowed to wear a cowboy hat boots. I'm not
00:07:31.640
going to begrudge anybody, but he does kind of look like a kid dressing up there.
00:07:35.960
One of my favorite ads on Rebel News is your ad where you're on the horse and you're just doing
00:07:42.540
it so gracefully. I think you definitely have earned your cowboy status that it's such a
00:07:47.300
classic Rebel. I remember the first time I saw it, I'm like, is Adam really on a horse right now?
00:07:55.280
Yeah, well, so Tarek and I have done a full interview on horseback.
00:08:02.040
Brian G may have also gone out horseback riding with us, maybe. But we've had the opportunity to
00:08:06.880
do a few things on horseback. So yeah, we did a full one with Tarek and I were riding and talking.
00:08:12.260
So yeah, maybe I've earned my chops. We'll see.
00:08:16.180
What are they expected to discuss when they meet, though, Trudeau and Smith?
00:08:20.540
Yeah, I was going to say, speaking of Trudeau being a child, listen, folks in Canada are struggling.
00:08:26.980
Inflation is booming. I wish I could say the economy is booming. It's doing okay in Alberta,
00:08:33.020
actually. But overall, folks are struggling. It's difficult to make ends meet. And this government
00:08:38.560
is driving that with inflation, with carbon taxing, with all this stuff. And when Justin
00:08:43.060
Trudeau comes here, he's not talking about new business. He's not talking about anything else.
00:08:45.920
What he wants to sit down with Daniel Smith and discuss is emission reductions. That is the most
00:08:52.940
important topic here by far. Now, it's pretty interesting. Obviously, Daniel Smith has been
00:09:00.440
sort of staunch and ardent defender of Alberta in pushing back against this.
00:09:06.700
It's pretty interesting, though, because and we're going to have a clip here. And this is,
00:09:10.940
I believe, from last year's Stampede during the leadership debates. I mean, I actually asked
00:09:17.960
Daniel Smith, like, for most of us in Alberta, it's like, why talk about 2050? Why are we using
00:09:23.360
the rhetoric of progressives? And if we have that clip, we can jump to that clip. And then we can
00:09:28.560
discuss a little bit because that is going to feed into the conversation that likely takes place
00:09:37.320
I'm advocating for freedom, espousing for Alberta sovereignty. Many were shocked to hear you speak
00:09:42.580
in favor of net zero. Net zero for many is a Paris agreement buzzword, often one that's pushed by
00:09:48.840
progressives. How do you justify employing that language of running for the leader of a conservative
00:09:55.500
The industry is using that language. There's about 90 percent of our energy companies who have set an
00:10:02.940
aggressive target using that language. We have companies like Air Products and Dow Chemical that are
00:10:09.580
announcing that they're investing here with that as their target. So I think it's our job to support
00:10:14.380
industry rather than fight against them. I think that what I'm seeing is that there's a huge amount of
00:10:19.580
investment in technology. We are world leaders and the Ottawa elites don't seem to understand this.
00:10:25.360
We are world elites in carbon capture, in developing the hydrogen economy. We are going to be at the
00:10:31.020
forefront of that. And I believe that by exporting dramatically more LNG, we're going to reduce
00:10:37.340
greenhouse gas emissions and all other pollutants around the world. So I see that the industry is
00:10:42.780
embracing the challenge and they're doing it in a way that is going to make sure that our industry
00:10:47.180
grows and our revenues grow and our jobs grow. So I support that.
00:10:50.740
So now do you find, I get playing ball and trying to go along with the industry, would you believe
00:10:54.520
that employing the language of radical environmentalists, even if the industry is doing
00:10:58.440
it, participating in carbon scheme is in a way, whether it's direct or tacit, sort of ramping up
00:11:04.120
this broader eco language and broadening outreach for groups like the World Economic Forum that use
00:11:11.720
You know, I guess it's been fairly routine to have that language. I've been in business advocacy for two
00:11:17.240
years and it's fairly routine for business advocates to be using that term. Part of the problem that we're
00:11:23.340
facing is that the divestment movement has been targeting our industry and our industry has had
00:11:29.900
to demonstrate that they have good environmental standards, good social standards, good governance
00:11:35.500
factors. And those are the things that the industry is doing to attract capital here. So that's the most
00:11:40.940
important thing is to make sure that capital gets attracted. You know, I agree with you. I'm trying to use
00:11:45.500
these hypercharged language. Maybe we shouldn't use them, but the goal of reducing emissions and the goal of being able to do it,
00:11:53.320
demonstrate that we're environmentally responsible. Everybody's on board with that.
00:11:56.460
And just a really quick follow up. Are countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela playing those same games when they sell oil?
00:12:03.080
They have government owned industries and so they have their own ability to finance themselves. And that's part of the reason we've got to look at how we can be more self-sufficient.
00:12:12.140
If we can repatriate our Alberta pension plan, maybe we can support our industry here with our own dollars, as long as we remain reliant on the international community for investment dollars.
00:12:23.560
Yeah, so that was kind of the part I wanted to touch on there. One thing that I do really like about Daniel Smith compared to other politicians is like she knows she's on camera.
00:12:34.840
And this kind of goes back to her time in radio. But she's like, maybe we shouldn't be using that language.
00:12:40.720
I completely understand because of federal pressures. Like, I don't think these industries want to be playing these games.
00:12:47.460
The OPEC distributors and some of these other distributors, they are not playing these games.
00:12:52.320
I feel like companies in this country feel like they have to play ball with the federal government.
00:12:56.920
And so they go along with this type of language. But I like that Daniel Smith there said, like, maybe we shouldn't.
00:13:02.760
And what's your perspective, though? Trudeau is setting this impossible 2030 deadline based on their numbers.
00:13:09.500
I happen to look at the science and know that given the vast amount of trees and the very low level population, we're in pollution in this country.
00:13:17.180
We probably are something like net zero if you really want to want to look at that.
00:13:22.200
And then Daniel Smith's 2050 deadline. What's your perspective on this?
00:13:26.140
Yeah, I agree with you. And again, it's always like, why is there so much focus on this area?
00:13:31.180
Yeah, when there's other countries that are definitely doing way more when it comes to emissions?
00:13:36.800
I like that Daniel Smith has a reasonable approach and answer.
00:13:40.000
I like that she's answering questions from you, Rebel News. So that says a lot right there.
00:13:45.760
But you're right. She seems really down to earth. And she also relates it to her experience.
00:13:49.660
Like she says, you know, she's been a part and realizes that language has been pretty common.
00:13:54.900
But what's the root of the language? Why is that common?
00:13:58.080
And that's what, you know, people are too busy to kind of look into or think about.
00:14:02.660
But really, that's my issue with 2030. Why is it 2030? Is it feasible?
00:14:07.740
Who wants it to be 2030? Is it a Canadian initiative? Is it a foreign initiative?
00:14:15.960
And so she's, she's right to say, you know, everybody's in agreeance to work towards this goal.
00:14:21.220
But the hard, fast WEF 2030, and even 2050, I'm not a fan of.
00:14:27.840
Yeah, and you know, for me, it's, it is like language really matters.
00:14:30.960
Obviously, we've got our new incredible edition of 1984 out, which maybe we can throw the URL up,
00:14:36.980
because I don't want to get it wrong. But yeah, the, the, yeah, by, I think it's just by 1984.
00:14:45.040
The language matters so much. There's a sort of like sentiment of doublespeak and all this stuff.
00:14:50.180
But the fact that this buzz, buzzword is continually being used, you know, I wouldn't have a problem,
00:14:56.180
necessarily with say, an incentive for companies that are reducing pollution,
00:15:01.200
like, like a partial tax break for companies that are making an effort to reduce pollution.
00:15:06.880
I think that that's good. The government should be encouraging and incentivizing business,
00:15:10.920
not punishing them. That would drive businesses to grow.
00:15:14.260
It would enable businesses to hire more people because they're not paying that.
00:15:17.260
And if you can save on taxes, you can, you can do some of this other stuff.
00:15:20.340
So there are ways to incentivize sort of positive environmentalism and bringing change.
00:15:25.660
Conservatives tend to be the real conservationists.
00:15:29.580
We're the ones who sort of hunt and do all these things.
00:15:32.460
And we're concerned about nature, not just living in downtown Calgary and putting up a sign about
00:15:37.660
protect our parks that we never go to, but we actually live in it.
00:15:41.660
So I think conservatives are in favor of environmentalism in the traditional sense.
00:15:46.540
Every form of modern environmentalism being pushed by progressives and using this type of language,
00:15:52.060
it always involves giving money to the government and surrendering our rights to the government.
00:15:57.540
Exactly. It comes down to doing your part, which is also another term we heard get pushed and said
00:16:04.280
simultaneously, you know, by politicians. It's the same as the build back better.
00:16:09.420
They come up with these catchy slogans that almost lose the meaning of the cause.
00:16:13.840
And you're right, the root of the cause behind them is in favor of the government over the people
00:16:21.020
Two things that I wanted to touch on now, also sort of Alberta and Daniel Smith related stories,
00:16:28.860
and this will fall under the good Daniel Smith category.
00:16:32.280
First off, that Calgary has landed, and I'm sort of jumping ahead here a little bit,
00:16:37.800
but Calgary has landed a HR tech firm, which I've just lost my URL for it now, unfortunately.
00:16:45.080
Bear with me as I pull that up, unless you happen to have it there.
00:16:50.940
Yeah, wonderful. So this, again, as we're pulling that up, this is more news,
00:16:56.200
and this is what we see under Daniel Smith. This is what we see under conservative governments
00:17:02.060
in general. We saw so many, despite the fact that these places are saying they're playing
00:17:07.720
these games, a government that is fundamentally for oil versus a government that is fundamentally
00:17:13.260
against it, or a government that is pro-business versus anti-business, that will draw people in.
00:17:18.780
And we saw so many headquarters leaving Calgary under the NDP government, and we're now seeing
00:17:25.360
companies come back. And it's really interesting to see that Daniel Smith, while advocating for
00:17:29.220
our oil, never apologizing for it, insisting she will push back against the federal government
00:17:33.740
and rejecting any sort of cap on our productions as a cap on our wealth and prosperity.
00:17:39.360
She has been sort of someone who uses this language of diversification and bringing in tech,
00:17:45.940
and all that stuff is good. We can be Silicon Valley and oil country. We can be both of those
00:17:50.660
things. In fact, that would be great if we could do both of those things, because there'd be even
00:17:54.580
more prosperity. I think that this government is creating a habitat that is conducive to that.
00:17:59.980
As someone from BC, what's your perspective on that?
00:18:02.080
Well, I think it's important to speak the language, right? And I think she's actually
00:18:08.680
really good at that, and the policies that she's talking about. You can't totally just
00:18:13.360
be one-sided, because there is diversity within your own province of Alberta. So it is good that
00:18:19.680
she's using sort of the language that everybody can kind of get on board on, as long as it's reasonable.
00:18:26.420
Now, I'm not surprised to hear that people are coming back to Calgary, and that they had run
00:18:31.680
away before. And I just can't help but think of what's going to happen in Toronto with the new
00:18:37.580
leadership over there, if we're going to see anything like that. But traditionally, people want
00:18:42.020
to go where there is, you know, the hope, the dream of prosperity and success, and, you know, a good
00:18:49.440
family life. And so that's what people are attracted for. And that's what Alberta has done very well
00:18:57.020
Yeah. Yeah, I certainly agree. Hopefully things continue. When we're at some of these events,
00:19:03.060
for example, I'm going to be attending, we've got folks heading out to basically every stop in the
00:19:08.140
city here. So we're going to have people at the Justin Trudeau events. We're going to have people
00:19:12.700
at the, I think Pierre Paulyer was expected to be at an event as well. I'm going to be at the
00:19:17.480
Premier's breakfast as well as at another couple of events, speaking with Energy Minister Brian
00:19:22.380
Gene next week as well. So we're going to be all over these stories. But one of the questions I am
00:19:26.520
actually hoping to ask the Premier, usually there's some media availability, sometimes they sneak out,
00:19:31.660
I'm sure I'll be able to talk to some folks. And this may seem like we've just passed an election.
00:19:36.360
But the question I want to ask her is what she believes a UCP led by Daniel Smith has to do to
00:19:42.640
win the next election. Now, I know we're four years out, we just got passed an election. But I think
00:19:46.980
that's a critical issue, because all these campaign promises that got them elected, and I don't think
00:19:52.540
they got the margins, they lost some critical seats in Calgary that I think they're going to have to
00:19:56.340
win back. So I want to ask her plan for this party, and for this province moving forward that can
00:20:01.100
reestablish a conservative government, perhaps with some stronger holds in Calgary, and not see more
00:20:08.100
slippage, and see more of the country going orange. One of the things, or the province going orange,
00:20:14.180
rather, one of the things that she certainly garnered some support on, and critics will
00:20:18.480
attempt to deride her. There was an article I think we talked about last week, where they're
00:20:22.280
saying, oh, one month is worse than overall recovery on addictions deaths. So this system's
00:20:28.180
clearly failed. There's a categorical bias there. But I think that the Alberta model, the approach to
00:20:34.260
addictions, is sort of the model for the country. The numbers seem to indicate that. But beyond that,
00:20:41.760
just on an aspect of sort of basic human compassion and caring for people, helping people reclaim their
00:20:47.340
lives is powerful. I'm going to be at another event, another Stampede Breakfast, that is, we did a
00:20:52.160
video on the Alberta Adolescent Recovery Centre. We're going to speak to a whole bunch of youth who
00:20:56.300
actually went through the program, are recovered addicts, and learn about their sort of experience,
00:21:02.060
and how much it mattered that someone was there to support them. Another community that is very happy,
00:21:07.360
and I've had the opportunity to speak with Chief Roy Whitney, but Chief Crowfoot has also been
00:21:12.520
addressing this. And we actually have a clip, if we can jump to that Twitter clip that has Dan
00:21:17.400
Williams, Danielle Smith, and Chief Crowfoot addressing this critical issue.
00:21:23.840
My question and my follow-up in the same question. Part of the Alberta approach is involuntary
00:21:29.560
treatment. Here we're talking about holistic approach, an approach that includes traditional
00:21:35.440
way of doing things to treat addiction. So I guess my question is for both Minister Williams and
00:21:41.260
Chief Crowfoot. Like, how do you reconcile the two together? And would those facility
00:21:47.020
have involuntary treatment as well? And how does that approach fit with your community
00:21:53.840
and the historical aspect of involuntary treatment and being put in facility without consent?
00:22:00.940
But in Six of God, our way is more extreme than what they're mentioning. Our way is to intervene.
00:22:08.820
You know, like, you know, our way is to, as you know, a community raises a child, we don't,
00:22:15.840
we're not, we're not raised to sit back and to let somebody self-destruct. You know, our ways are to pull
00:22:24.940
them in and to say, you know what, Nishkanie, or, you know, what's going on? So, you know,
00:22:33.240
I, I, I, I, Six of God, our, our way is, is to intervene. You know, if I had my son out doing stuff
00:22:41.200
that he shouldn't be doing, you know, I just can't just let him keep doing it. You know, I have to pull
00:22:46.200
him in and say, hey, what's, what's going on? So that very well is our way, you know, and I think
00:22:51.540
we've gotten away from that as a society, I don't want to go too far down a philosophical
00:22:56.080
standpoint here, but we, we, we've, we've kind of, as a society said, you know what, everybody can do
00:23:01.580
what they want to do and there's no accountability. And as a result of no accountability, you know,
00:23:08.220
there's no consequences. We live in a world of no consequences because nobody wants to be offended.
00:23:12.500
And, and, and that's a problem. So at Six of God, we don't, we didn't worry about if Johnny was
00:23:19.680
offended. We're worrying about, you know what, Johnny, you're disrupting yourself. We need to
00:23:24.840
help you to help yourself. Yeah. That's incredible. Yeah. Yeah. Round of applause. Wow. You know,
00:23:33.240
and I spoke with him, he wasn't coming on camera at the time there. I mean, he, he, he was at the
00:23:38.600
initial event during the campaign announcements where they, where they sort of broached this
00:23:43.280
chief Roy Whitney, actually from Tsutena, he lost his son to suicide as a consequence of,
00:23:50.060
of his addictions battle. And he says, he wishes something like this would have been available.
00:23:55.420
I love seeing Daniel Smith, first nations communities, people like the adolescent,
00:24:00.320
Albert adolescent recovery center coming together and saying, this is saving lives, plain and simple.
00:24:05.780
Another announcement that also came out was they're actually making a 75 bed facility.
00:24:11.060
Normally they're 50, 40 or smaller at Tsutena nation as well. So that, that is a large facility. I
00:24:17.260
believe I'm going off the top of my head here, but it was like a $30 million investment. So that
00:24:20.960
construction is going to start soon. This government has done more for first nations communities,
00:24:26.180
or is at least trying to, and is engaging with first nations communities, despite every,
00:24:31.040
all the media would have you believe that, that Daniel Smith is anti and she's, she's killed these
00:24:36.560
relationships. Well, I don't remember seeing this much engagement between first nations communities
00:24:40.800
and the premier of this province, other than sort of superficial event politics, but this is real
00:24:46.320
attainable action. And you can hear how passionate he is. He's sort of in this fight. I think this is
00:24:52.220
so incredible. And, and, and to see people coming together, regardless of backgrounds and saying,
00:24:57.160
no, we're a community, we help each other. I think that's incredible.
00:25:01.000
Well, maybe that's going to be her answer to you on, on how she would win again is just delivering,
00:25:06.320
delivering on examples like that. And you're right. But that is back to the basis. He had
00:25:11.360
everything on the nail back to humanity. Stop politicizing literally every corner of society.
00:25:17.780
This is about saving lives, doing what works and doing what's common sense. Obviously this is the
00:25:23.800
approach that needs to be taken. And so it's very encouraging to see that. Hopefully BC could follow
00:25:30.760
in footsteps. But it's almost like we're rolling out an experiment here, a social experiment.
00:25:36.840
The better you guys consistently do, the harder it will be for other provinces, hopefully to not fall
00:25:42.960
in line. Well, you know, last night at the Church Under Fire event, we talked about the notion of
00:25:48.720
leadership. And even during COVID-19, the country didn't have leadership. It was monkey see,
00:25:52.640
monkey do. Everyone was just copying each other, following each other. When you asked them what
00:25:56.100
the basis was for decisions, they're like, oh, well, Toronto did it. It's great to see actual
00:26:00.580
leadership. There's some events in Saskatchewan. There's some other places that are taking some
00:26:04.100
stands on issues, whether it's firearms rights or other things, pushing back on carbon tax,
00:26:08.760
things like that. But great to see some leadership in this country. We're way overdue for a commercial
00:26:12.660
break. So without further ado, we'll talk to, we'll jump to that. When we come back, we're going to talk
00:26:18.520
about crime, lawlessness, all that sort of good stuff. So stay tuned.
00:26:23.980
In a world plagued by conformity, where truth is distorted, freedom is a distant memory,
00:26:29.540
and Big Brother is always watching. One man, Winston Smith, looks to break through his bleak
00:26:35.280
existence. Introducing the all-new Rebel Illustrated Classics edition of George Orwell's iconic book,
00:26:41.520
1984. Now, more than ever, in the age of lockdowns, 15-minute cities, and World Economic Forum

globalism, everyone must read 1984. Uncover the hidden depths of this literary classic with our
00:26:55.380
exclusive illustrated edition that brings Orwell's haunting vision to life, reborn with a forward by

Ezra Levant and 30 captivating new illustrations by artist Paul Revoche.
00:27:05.720
You see that Orwell is not only explaining what might come, but in my opinion, what's already
00:27:12.320
here, even back when he wrote it in 1949, but much more so as we see revealed today, particularly
00:27:18.740
with the last three years. Join the rebellion against conformity. Get your hands on the Rebel

00:27:43.160
You know, there are so many great movies out right now. I think Disney lost like almost
00:28:04.260
a billion dollars on sort of on the last 10 releases or something like that. And lots of
00:28:10.340
these things pushing sort of woke. Yeah, exactly. Go woke, go broke. Meanwhile, Church Under Fire
00:28:16.240
is selling out. There's lots of other great events. If you talk, you can talk about like
00:28:19.900
God's Not Dead, Unplanned, Jesus Revolution. And it's not the sort of, there was a time where
00:28:25.920
you'd watch a Christian film understanding it might be B grade because you wanted the moral
00:28:30.220
content. So you'd sort of trade that sort of disappearing. This stuff is actually becoming
00:28:34.560
like objectively good. I want to talk about one of the biggest films right now that just
00:28:41.300
beat out Indiana Jones. Before I talk about that, I want to talk about a movie that was
00:28:45.400
just out recently, still probably potentially showing near you. It's going to be out soon.
00:28:49.300
And that's the film Nefarious. Have you had a chance to check it out?
00:28:51.840
I was going to say, yeah, we got to mention that. Yes, I did. And it was so good. And that's
00:28:56.920
by the same people who produced Unplanned, which, you know, didn't even, it got into Canada
00:29:02.700
through people, you know, renting out theaters. But aside from that, according to the directors,
00:29:08.740
they went all the way up to the top of our government and were rejected. So they said they
00:29:13.480
didn't even bother really trying to get Nefarious across the board here because we're pretty much
00:29:18.900
a communist country was one of their words. So pretty shocking, but very good. Did you see
00:29:24.580
it? It's sort of a horror movie, a psychological thriller kind of thing.
00:29:33.700
So the star of the show, parents don't take your kids to see it. It's horrifying. It's
00:29:37.500
basically about possession. And sort of the framing narrative, the device is a very secular
00:29:43.300
psychiatrist, is determining if someone on death row is fit to stand trial for execution.
00:29:51.240
And the question quickly turns to whether or not this individual is possessed. Sean Patrick
00:29:56.060
Flannery, who you may very likely recall from films like Boondock Saints or Powder, not the
00:30:00.880
person depicted on the screen now, but the individual we'll see here very soon. If this
00:30:05.220
weren't a sort of conservative film, he would win an Oscar or at least be nominated.
00:30:12.140
Yeah, so good. And this film is like anchored. I think Sean Patrick Flannery said that 85 or
00:30:18.620
90 pages are this conversation sitting at a table. It's almost exclusively this conversation.
00:30:24.220
If you like C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters, you'll love this. The writing is next level.
00:30:29.980
It's as accurate as anything I've seen as far as sort of demonic oriented films. Scary,
00:30:34.440
don't bring your kids, not appropriate. But this is another film, you know, and it's interesting,
00:30:39.500
in our conversation, I asked if he knew this would rub people the wrong way. The potentially
00:30:44.660
possessed character, the demon effectively, rejoices at things like abortion and euthanasia.
00:30:50.800
It is such a contradiction of all these sacred cows in society. And to have it tackled so head
00:30:56.620
on, what was, I don't know, me and my wife were looking at each other like, oh my gosh,
00:31:01.220
what did it? Yeah. Yeah. What did you think? What was that?
00:31:03.920
Good. And you know, at the end, you're right, because all the scenes predominantly are in the
00:31:08.600
same area. And we're like, well, you know, the budget was pretty good, but you cannot tell.
00:31:13.880
The acting is phenomenal. Like you said, the writing and when they hit made on there, I was
00:31:20.340
like, wow, that is so good. And I wish it was more widespread. So you interviewed him. So I can't
00:31:26.000
wait to see that. Is it making its way into Canada now somehow? Yeah. So theaters were showing it like
00:31:32.620
I saw it at a theater and I know the owner, it was at the same theater that thank God, God bless
00:31:36.420
Kenny Meadows cinemas, by the way, they've hosted so many of our premieres, almost all of them.
00:31:40.360
They do bring in films like this. And you know, some of the other theater chains, we need art,
00:31:44.680
we need, yeah, we need artists, artists and art to stand up for freedom of expression. And these
00:31:50.000
chains, they certainly may not agree with it. They don't necessarily espouse these perspectives,
00:31:53.680
but they're like, no, no, art needs a place to be shown. So this film is certainly art. But let's
00:32:00.080
talk about this film now, Sound of Freedom. This is blowing the doors off. This is getting into just
00:32:06.580
about everywhere. A Jim Caviezel film, obviously, the story of basically an FBI agent who leaves that
00:32:12.680
field in order to tackle human trafficking, particularly trafficking of children. An
00:32:19.280
incredibly powerful story. I haven't seen this yet. I can't wait to go see it. I'm definitely going to,
00:32:23.440
but it's doing incredibly well. And isn't this just such a strong repudiation? It's far smaller
00:32:29.280
budget than lots of these other movies. Right. But it's tackling, it's talking about spiritual,
00:32:35.160
social and moral issues. Mainstream media, mainstream motion pictures won't touch on.
00:32:40.700
That being said, I mean, the new Spider-Man movie does kind of dive into some of that stuff. Some
00:32:44.560
of these major studios are realizing that the sort of woke thing isn't working. And I think if you have
00:32:51.000
a director with artistic integrity who won't bend, there's still the occasional surprise out there.
00:32:55.640
But people are clearly craving this. These films are becoming successes. There's a demand for it.
00:33:01.060
How much of sort of a rejection of the left owning the media landscape, at least the motion picture
00:33:05.720
landscape, do you think this is? Yeah, well, that's the thing. I love that it's such an underdog story.
00:33:11.100
I can speak for the area here. There was barely any theaters that were screening it. And when they did,
00:33:17.160
it was like Wednesday, one show, and I couldn't make it. And then now I look and it's like everywhere.
00:33:24.220
It's done so good that every theater is like, oh, shoot, I guess we should have that here.
00:33:29.420
So very exciting to see something that's shedding light on something so important,
00:33:34.920
child sex slavery, something in society's shadows that definitely needs light on it. It's based on
00:33:41.080
a true story. And I'm just so happy to see them doing well when they're this sort of bee sort of
00:33:47.240
thing. And it is a wake up call for, like you said, Disney keeps losing money. I remember there
00:33:52.820
was some woke, I can't remember the name, but Netflix films that went out that totally failed
00:33:59.600
as well. So to see something with such a good moral message and a good strong reminder that
00:34:05.820
we need to be aware and tackling the human trafficking issue. And again, a true based on a
00:34:11.420
true story. I can't wait to see it. My mom saw it. And side note, someone stole her Cadillac
00:34:17.520
converter in the parking lot. Oh, man. Little sign up. That keeps happening out in this area.
00:34:22.520
But anyway, she's going to transition into her next story. So. OK, yeah, there we go. She's
00:34:26.740
seeing it a second time and I will be seeing it as soon as I get a moment. It's good to support
00:34:30.300
stuff like this. Right. So that the theaters know we can't keep, you know, ignoring people
00:34:37.440
So priorities, folks, go get your tickets for Church Under Fire and then get your tickets
00:34:43.400
for Nefarious if you can find a screening because they did an interview with us. And then after
00:34:46.900
those, get your tickets for Sound of Freedom. Make sure you see all those. There's your
00:34:51.980
Speaking of catalytic converters being stolen, you know, this the sort of rampant crime that
00:34:57.660
we're seeing that like would have shocked us. I don't know, maybe not in East Hastings,
00:35:03.040
but I mean, growing up in Alberta, in most major cities in Canada, you really didn't
00:35:08.260
see this stuff like murder skyrocketing. All this stuff is just out of control. And then
00:35:12.780
you have sort of these shocking videos becoming more and more common on social media. I don't
00:35:18.020
know if we actually want to play this, if it's true, too brutal. If the studio wants to play
00:35:22.580
it, they can. If not, I'll let them make that decision. But there's a sort of shocking
00:35:27.280
video of on the Toronto Transit fight erupting. And it turns into stabbings and everyone's
00:35:35.060
fleeing. And it's absolutely just horrific to see. Now, ultimately, I do think that this
00:35:43.160
I don't think there's any sort of, yeah, there we go. There isn't any sort of implication.
00:35:45.920
You don't see the stabbing in the video, but it's still disturbing. The audio is actually
00:35:50.500
disturbing, too. You know, just hearing the guy scream. I don't know if we're going to
00:35:58.280
play it or not, but. No, it's okay. We don't. Probably. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, very disturbing.
00:36:12.080
And I think we're starting over again. Okay. I'm going to stop talking.
00:36:16.540
Yeah, there's additional shots, too, of people from other angles who are sort of filming it
00:36:35.760
and they're, like, running, screaming. There's no one available. You know what? Things like
00:36:40.480
this happen. They're happening on the increase. I think part of the reason they're happening
00:36:43.700
on the increase is progressive politicians who are so soft on this. And that makes me sick.
00:36:49.600
Don't get me wrong. But Olivia Chow's response to this is that it makes sense to add workers
00:36:57.600
and guidance councillors to prevent future incidents. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying
00:37:03.260
that there's not merit. There's not merit. There's merit to, like, helping people and creating
00:37:09.840
community networks. But if your response, like, what, are you trying to get a youth worker or
00:37:15.560
guidance councillor stabbed? You need police at train stations and on trains and where rampant
00:37:22.820
crime happens. In these major cities, because of soft policing and soft courts, ultimately,
00:37:28.740
often it isn't even the policing, people who are serial offenders constantly getting into fights,
00:37:34.780
doing drugs, breaking and entering, stealing stuff. They literally, and we talk about this almost
00:37:39.460
every week because these, these, these like politicians, these progressive politicians
00:37:43.140
just do not learn. It's catch and release. The police bring them in. And then 15 minutes later,
00:37:49.060
they're walking under the station and the police just get sick of this. So you can go to the sort
00:37:53.520
of most violent ramp, like drug ridden rampant, terrible areas. And the police do nothing. I'm
00:37:59.100
laughing. The other week we talked about how I was outside the public library. And they're like,
00:38:02.680
oh, you can't have a tripod out here while people are doing hard drugs. We've like surrendered that.
00:38:08.420
Oh, well, some people are just going to be violent. Some people are just going to be doing drugs.
00:38:12.260
That's just part of life now. I know here in Alberta, Daniel Smith has brought more sheriffs
00:38:17.040
in. They're increasing policing and saying, no, we're going to get hard on crime. I don't know.
00:38:20.420
This is bad. I know parts of parts of Vancouver are really bad. Is there any sort of effort in
00:38:24.860
your neck of the woods to tackle this? Or is it the same sort of progressive? Maybe we can hire
00:38:28.980
another guidance councillor. Well, I think that's so silly, especially for situations like this in
00:38:33.740
particular. I do know that sometimes there are councillors that accompany police officers to
00:38:39.860
certain calls, especially the certain types of calls, like if someone is suicidal and things like
00:38:45.360
that, that makes sense. But when you're on public transit, I mean, a fight broke out. That's what
00:38:49.980
happened. What on earth is a councillor going to do in that situation where it progressed from zero to
00:38:55.860
a hundred in a matter of seconds. You know, whether it be metal detectors, more police,
00:39:02.100
what have you. As someone who has a teen who takes public transit, it is concerning for sure to see
00:39:07.480
more of this happening. She's, of course, expressing concerns as well. And not just from what she's
00:39:13.600
seeing on, but also what she's experiencing inside. There's been, you know, just weird people getting
00:39:19.600
angry and fighting with each other. And I keep saying it. I think we, as a society, as a much
00:39:26.080
across the globe have been through trauma for what's happened to us. We've been pitted against
00:39:31.440
each other. Families have split on each other. There's been so much turmoil, so much politicization
00:39:37.040
from, you know, how COVID-19 was politicized that I think we've been through trauma ourselves and no one
00:39:43.800
has, most people have not had a chance to heal from that. Everybody seems to be on edge.
00:39:48.400
Um, and then you have things like this last I heard, um, the suspect in this situation is still
00:39:54.520
at large. Uh, he's described as a black man between 25 and 30 years old. I see now, um, the article
00:40:01.160
here, they at least have a better picture of him because the pictures before were not very good. So
00:40:06.440
they've got a good picture of him. Hopefully they'll find him. Um, yeah. Cause that's pretty
00:40:11.560
concerning that it just goes from that to stabbing and, um, the victim, I believe survived his injuries.
00:40:19.600
Yeah. Yeah. I think he, I think you made a sprint for it. I believe we actually do have that video
00:40:24.280
of Olivia Chow, um, um, sort of addressing this. So let's just see that, that response to, I mean,
00:40:30.300
most of us are mortified. Let's see what her response is here to provide more safety, uh,
00:40:38.620
situation. You know, for example, they have, um, uh, private security guards, they have, um,
00:40:48.740
they're, they're looking at ways to, uh, have people support, like, um, he talked about, um,
00:40:59.380
social workers in, in, in TBC to support people that have, um, uh, different issues. Um,
00:41:08.780
yeah, like, oh, well they, they talked about security guards, like you're the mayor,
00:41:16.460
get the police down there. What, what, what is going on here? This is, this is, it's, I don't
00:41:21.400
know. There's like an unwillingness to condemn criminality, uh, out of fear of being perceived
00:41:27.960
as too hard. Like we aren't willing to say addiction's bad and we should, we should help
00:41:32.080
people. We're like, well, who are we to say? We aren't saying that we need to stop crime. We're
00:41:37.000
like, well, we should support the criminals to make them not criminals. Don't worry. That's
00:41:41.080
not altogether wrong. Let's not cause the stigma. No stigma in this situation.
00:41:45.440
And like, yeah, they're less, they're more concerned about stigma. You, you dialed it
00:41:50.540
right there. They're less concerned about stigma than they are, or more concerned about stigma
00:41:54.300
than they are about violent crime and overdosing, uh, which is why cities look the way they look
00:41:59.680
right now. Um, troubling to see, certainly. Um, it's interesting though. There, there's an
00:42:04.980
investigation going on to this. One thing that absolutely shocks me though is, is hearing
00:42:08.440
news articles, uh, hearing news sort of announcements, reading articles, whatever it may be. Um, and
00:42:13.220
you'll see like someone's busted in like, in like a child trafficking ring, um, or, or engaged
00:42:20.340
in human trafficking or a violent drug dealer. Um, they're like released with minor parole or
00:42:26.320
they have conditions. Like they got, they get better treatment than Tamara Leach or some
00:42:30.520
of the pastors in this country. And then the other thing too, is it, is if someone does like
00:42:35.800
a burnout on a pride crosswalk or drops off as, as our next story shares, um, anti LGBTQS
00:42:42.920
two plus, uh, material alphabet material, uh, playgrounds. And don't get me wrong. I, I, I
00:42:48.900
stopped at QM plus. Yeah. Yeah. It's they need to rebrand. Um, but I'm not for dropping
00:42:56.180
off sort of anti anybody materials on playgrounds. I don't think that's necessarily the place for
00:43:00.960
it, but it is so interesting. Um, I mean, they brand this as transphobic. I haven't seen
00:43:07.520
the actual material itself. Someone described it as sort of transphobic, but they, they put
00:43:13.720
more media attention and police attention into investigating this than they do churches being
00:43:19.180
burnt down. Um, and there's like a moral outrage and a call for action over a burnout in a crosswalk
00:43:25.040
or a little literature drop. Not that I'm agreeing with those things necessarily, but then they do
00:43:31.040
like literal act, hate crimes and acts of arson. Um, am I crazy or does that seem like a backwards
00:43:38.120
priorities? No, there's so much hypocrisy in that area. In fact, I have a couple of reports coming up
00:43:43.220
on the last live stream. I discussed, um, you know, what it was like covering the protests,
00:43:49.060
the counter protests and protests that were at the drag camp in, uh, Granville Island recently. So I
00:43:54.940
have a report coming up with that, but what I learned since that is even though there was only
00:44:00.620
a small group, like I want to say six or seven people, by the way, I would say three of which
00:44:05.360
were part of the LGBTQ community opposing the drag camp. Two of those individuals went back to
00:44:13.240
their vehicles, which were not beside each other. They were separated with punctured tires. And so there
00:44:20.460
were police everywhere. Obviously there's cameras everywhere. Um, I'm trying to figure out,
00:44:26.140
I don't know if hopefully they've gotten back to me, but I'm trying to figure out what exactly
00:44:29.860
they're doing. There was so much hype about how the people attending the drag camp and the workers at
00:44:35.420
carousel theater were at risk because of alleged threats of violence, which I confirmed with the VPD,
00:44:42.160
they had no reports of such thing. Um, but here you see, uh, two out of a handful of protesters
00:44:50.100
against it actually have punctured tires and they were punctured in a way that it's, um, I guess it's
00:44:56.120
the sidewall, which is the worst part to puncture a tire. So the damage, um, is done. You can't repair
00:45:01.760
that. So we see examples like that all the time. Um, you know, people with Canadian flags getting paint
00:45:07.800
thrown on them. I've seen that as well. Um, and yeah, they are investigating one side of it so hard
00:45:13.460
and it's always, Hey, well, what, at what point is it hate when you're getting targeted for your
00:45:17.940
beliefs for having Canadian flags, which these two protesters also had on their car as well.
00:45:23.820
Yeah. You see, you see lots of the same things. It's interesting. And there's, there's another one
00:45:28.020
of these, uh, Muslim led, uh, protests against sort of LGBTQ indoctrination. Now speaking to these
00:45:33.520
people over and over, they're very clear that this is just like, it isn't anti-LGBTQ. They want
00:45:38.400
LGBTQ people protesting with them. And it's about sort of keeping school appropriate, respecting
00:45:43.280
religious rights. And they're saying, listen, if my own kids decide this for themselves when they're
00:45:47.600
older, uh, when they, when they're at the age of maturity, we'll respect them. But we, we just want
00:45:52.360
to decide what's best for our children at this time. That's the core of this message. But what happens
00:45:56.200
every time the counterpart protesters arrive before the protest and park themselves where the protest is
00:46:02.480
set to take place, they set up sort of black tarps and they're blocking people out and pushing and
00:46:06.880
shoving. But even with all that, the count, the counter protesters will go somewhere else.
00:46:11.920
They'll, there's sort of the main protesters, like the Muslim led group who are originally
00:46:14.880
planning to be there. They don't cause conflicts. In fact, lots of the shoving that occurs is sort of
00:46:19.000
borderline kids on teens on both sides who are just kind of, I don't know, they're arguing and
00:46:24.040
tussling. The adults tend to be generally respectful and separated despite all that. Um, but,
00:46:30.380
and we're going to have more on this tonight. I'm going to be speaking with the organizer of the
00:46:34.060
protest. Um, he was sort of asked not to attend this protest and these are sort of tentative
00:46:39.840
details I need to confirm, but this is what I'm being told. He was basically asked not to attend
00:46:44.640
the protest tonight. And he's like, well, I've already told people I'm going, I'm going to go to
00:46:48.020
this one. Then we'll, maybe I won't go to other ones. Uh, this might be the last one we have for a
00:46:51.460
while anyways. Um, so the cops then went away and they came back shortly later and charged him with
00:46:56.800
criminal harassment. Um, so they basically, it seems, and this is just what we're hearing now.
00:47:02.240
It seems like they're like, are you not going to come back? No, apparently this isn't from the
00:47:05.920
events. It stems from an online argument with somebody, but they didn't mention it until
00:47:11.080
that's what we're hearing. Anyways, those are the reports. So I'm going to be speaking with him
00:47:14.360
tonight. Let's get to the bottom of that. I don't know if you've seen this, uh, which is also
00:47:20.260
interesting, but I noticed a CTV article that came out and sorry, I won't be able to find it fast
00:47:26.260
enough to share it, but it's when it's not the Muslims that are protesting, you know, drag queen
00:47:31.680
story time, automatically they're Nazis, they're fascists, they're, um, extremists that are bigots
00:47:37.860
that are coming out. And then CTV does an article and it was basically like, Oh, Muslims. I think this
00:47:44.540
was the headline. Muslims should think twice about, uh, protesting against LGBTQ plus stuff, because
00:47:52.180
basically what the article is saying that they're both oppressed, you're oppressed. So you're on the
00:47:57.620
same team. And I thought, Oh, but you don't know any better. And you oppose it. Uh, even though you
00:48:04.380
are the most persecuted religion, we've got 80 plus churches being vandalized or burnt across the
00:48:12.480
country, pastors are in jail. But if you're Christians, you're just a bigot. You're not oppressed.
00:48:16.720
You're never hated. Yeah, no. And that's so true. Even the counter protesters, like when Christians
00:48:24.020
protest something, they're like these fascist, Christo fascist, it's brutal. And it's just like,
00:48:31.500
let's, let's punch these Nazis. Um, the paragraphs written by the counter protesters that are like,
00:48:37.200
Oh, these are not representative of all Muslims. And it's very like political. Frankly, the,
00:48:42.180
these Muslim counter protests, um, they're more direct because I feel like they're less sort of
00:48:47.840
self-conscious or afraid of being arrested because they're one of the groups that tends to be safe
00:48:53.020
from, from being continuously harassed by the government. Um, they say things that are far more
00:48:57.900
brash than I've seen at anything, uh, whether it be pastor, or pastor Povlowski or pastor Derek
00:49:02.280
Reimer, any of those other things, those people have been arrested. The conversations here are a lot
00:49:05.940
more blunt, um, but they get this sort of soft glove treatment relatively compared to Christians.
00:49:11.380
It's certainly, uh, incredibly interesting. Um, on that note, we're going to jump to one more quick
00:49:16.740
ad break. Then we're going to come back. Uh, we'll fly through our, uh, few remaining stories and then
00:49:20.860
we've got a chat or two. If you want to get a chat in, get it in right now so we can engage with it.
00:49:25.140
Otherwise it will be too late. So if you want to share a rumble rant, do so now, uh, ad break,
00:49:29.540
a couple more stories, and then we'll wrap her up.
00:49:36.060
Living with spike protein in a post pandemic world is something we all have to grapple with,
00:49:40.340
whether you've had the virus, you've been vaccinated yourself, or if you're around those
00:49:44.220
who were the wellness companies spike support formula is a daily supplement that can help you
00:49:49.700

Back. Uh, so yeah, the, uh, one of the stories I wanted to touch on, we've talked about this just
00:50:25.680
about every week, but it is so interesting to see just the perpetual red maps, uh, weather warnings,
00:50:33.000
a sweltering heat, this, this, this language that spoke so perpetual. And I don't know if you've had
00:50:37.980
this experience though, you can look at sort of objective weather accounts and there's barely
00:50:42.100
been an increase. We're talking like 0.7% in, in, in a long time, sorry, 0.7 degrees over like a very
00:50:49.720
long amount of time. That's, that's probably a little below what we'd expect as far as a natural,
00:50:54.240
uh, temperature cycle. So that aside, I don't know if you've seen that picture where there's a map
00:51:00.560
from like 10 years ago and then a map today and the temperatures are the same, but the map today
00:51:05.660
is all red. Like heat warning, heat warning. And I talked to people, I don't know if you've had,
00:51:11.580
have you talked to people who are like, yeah, it's so much hotter these days.
00:51:16.000
Yes. I, well, I'm a little biased. Like I feel like the last two days I was dying from the heat,
00:51:21.880
but I know better. And it's also, you see this with like floods too. Whenever floods happen,
00:51:26.520
it's like, oh my gosh, this is a new thing. It's climate change. But if you go back 50 years,
00:51:30.300
it's like the exact same area had the exact same flood. And it's because you put property,
00:51:36.240
you, you drained a lake and put property there. You know what I mean? And the earth is just trying
00:51:40.640
to do what it wants to do. Um, so it's the same kind of thing. People are, um, I think they play
00:51:46.740
on the emotions of you feeling very hot and then it's like, oh yeah, see, this is what we're talking
00:51:51.820
about. This is what we've been sort of grooming you for this entire year for this very moment.
00:51:57.140
Yeah, certainly. Uh, that troubling, troubling trend for sure. Uh, and it seems to be working,
00:52:03.640
affecting people. Another sort of troubling media push, um, was, was, and this is jumping
00:52:08.440
back to COVID-19, but all the folks who were, uh, staying at home to save other people, uh, well,
00:52:13.240
they got awfully bored and I guess they went out and adopted animals in record numbers to sort
00:52:19.080
of entertain themselves. Um, but now, now that they're, they're told they don't have to stay
00:52:23.980
home to save other people. Yeah. I'm not surprised to see that people who followed orders and went
00:52:29.140
along with just about everything, they're just surrendering those animals. No problem. Uh,
00:52:32.960
there is a pandemic pet surrender problem in Saskatoon and, and, and, and some of these shelters
00:52:38.680
are being absolutely overrun. Uh, following a pandemic adoption boom, pets are now being turned
00:52:44.500
back over to Saskatoon shelters, sanctuaries, and pounds at unprecedented rates. Uh, shelters say
00:52:50.000
they're dealing with an overwhelming amount of dog surrenders, according to, uh, the president
00:52:53.860
of the Saskatoon SPCA. We have 500 more intakes year to date this year than the same time last
00:53:00.080
year. 500 animals is a lot of animals. We've been able to adopt 500 animals out. In addition
00:53:05.060
to that, we did to what they did normally last year. So they're kind of meeting the growth,
00:53:09.360
but it's stressing. Um, I personally just really wanted to share this as a jab against all those
00:53:15.480
folks who stayed home and did all that sort of stuff. I am not at all surprised to learn
00:53:19.320
that they're the type of people who, uh, abandoned animals when things get hard because they seem
00:53:23.580
to just go the easy route, even if it's wrong. And this has been a problem that's been happening
00:53:28.100
like very noticeably since things, uh, started to return to some form of normalcy. I know that
00:53:34.300
we did a report on it. I believe it was from Alberta as well, where we actually went down to one of the
00:53:39.880
shelters and to see what's happening. So it's very sad and it's not surprising. I mean, it's the wrong
00:53:46.020
reason to, to get a puppy and, oh, it's so cute. Oh my gosh. Now I'm going to need another puppy.
00:53:51.720
Don't tell my dog that I'm thinking about it, but, um, yeah, it's good to shed light on it.
00:53:57.020
Hopefully more people will go get those little guys.
00:54:03.800
Fraser McBurney again. Hi. Oh, am I? Oh, sorry. Well, go on, Adam. I'm so good.
00:54:09.960
Good. Um, our final story, uh, before we get to this chat here, uh, Pfizer partners with trans
00:54:16.500
advocacy organization while profiting from transition related drugs. I think the word
00:54:21.660
for that is conflict of interest. Pfizer's fast, vast portfolio includes Depo Estradiol,
00:54:27.520
a feminizing drug, Aldactone and Depo Provera used to block male hormones and Depo Testosterone
00:54:34.280
and Sineral used for masculinizing effects and puberty blocking respectively. I'm surprised I
00:54:40.240
got all those out properly. I was going to say, I'm, yeah, I'm most impressed with you getting
00:54:44.820
through that. Yeah. And Pfizer is hand in hand. That's what always happens. I mean,
00:54:51.480
nothing surprises me anymore. It is such a booming business to capitalize on all of these things that
00:54:57.480
are happening. Um, and especially this industry. And I think that's a lot why we're seeing the push
00:55:02.740
of it. I haven't read this, uh, full article yet. It says, um,
00:55:09.540
The gist of it is basically, yeah. Gender Cool is celebrated by woke progressives for its advocacy
00:55:15.880
work. Gender Cool, what a name, successfully getting its young ambassadors featured in prominent
00:55:19.940
media outlets, including the New York Times and the Today Show. They also distribute books to young
00:55:24.040
audiences aimed at celebrating normalizing concepts of gender diversity. Uh, though, though currently
00:55:29.700
absent from Gender Cool's list of sponsors, I wonder why Pfizer is featured on a document obtained by
00:55:35.180
the Daily Wire detailing the different sponsorship levels. The syringement involves an annual financial
00:55:39.880
commitment ranging from 5,000 to 35,000 and returns companies receive several perks, including
00:55:46.020
support for employees with trans and non-buried children and access to Gender Cool events.
00:55:50.200
Ultimately though, what you have is, is a drug company, uh, supporting and endorsing an organization
00:55:56.860
that is creating a supply for their own drugs, which I think we've seen that before in the last few
00:56:03.420
years. But, uh, yeah, it's literally nothing new at all. And it's that you always have to follow the
00:56:10.380
money. If you were, if you're like, why is this happening? Follow the money, see why it's happening.
00:56:14.540
And so, I mean, we've done many reports of similar nature and it's good to keep reminding people about
00:56:21.640
this. So. Yeah. And you know, the other thing that's absolutely wild is, and I think it might
00:56:27.020
have been Joe Rogan who went off about this, but like these companies will intentionally, uh, like,
00:56:32.680
I'm not, I'm not gonna say they're intentionally putting out a drug that, that causes harm, but what
00:56:36.580
they are doing is putting out a drug and then making $12 billion off of it. And then they get sued
00:56:42.680
and this has happened before. And then they pay like $3.5 billion in fines, which sounds like a
00:56:47.600
lot of money. Um, but if you do the math there, that's still profitable. That's so, so a troubling
00:56:54.020
legacy. Um, I think the crux, Oh, sorry. Maybe they'll come up with a way to be immune from that
00:57:01.400
in the first place. Like, you know, with COVID, you know, what, I don't know if I'm allowed to say
00:57:06.460
it on YouTube, but with a certain type of injury. Yes. A certain type of injury. So yeah, nothing
00:57:13.440
new. Um, I, I, for one, I, I just miss the days when like conservatives were kind of passive about
00:57:19.120
big pharma and then the liberals and the leftists, that was their sort of moral responsibility.
00:57:23.860
They were like, no, we need to do preventive medicine and we need to make sure that big
00:57:27.860
pharma is held to account. Uh, as soon as COVID hit that flipped and they became the advocates
00:57:32.120
for big pharma. Um, so the one thing they were doing right, they got wrong. Um, so hopefully
00:57:37.180
eventually maybe, maybe, uh, when Trudeau is no longer leader, uh, they'll, they'll wake up
00:57:42.100
and come to their senses. We shall see. Uh, we have one rumble rant on the day from
00:57:47.740
Frazier at McBurney. Um, as always all in caps, he gives five bucks, says we are having our Hamilton
00:57:53.260
freedom movement potluck picnic this Sunday. Those canceled last Sunday because of rain. I'll
00:57:58.620
be serving homemade French fries. Let's have fun. 12 noon. Wonderful. I would, I wish I could make it
00:58:04.000
and have some of those French fries. I'm not sure if we have, uh, folks coming down. I know sometimes,
00:58:07.620
uh, Efron gets out to those. Um, but yeah, we shall see. Any final thoughts for the folks, Drea?
00:58:14.500
No, it was a good show. Jam packed. And I look forward to seeing you next week.
00:58:20.800
Awesome. Hopefully, uh, if you guys haven't come down, Drea, I know you're going to start driving
00:58:24.460
right away so you can make it in time for Stampede. Um, if you guys are down at the Stampede
00:58:28.360
grounds, we're going to be at these pancake breakfasts. Um, I'll be down at the Stampede
00:58:31.660
grounds. We are accredited as media. So I'm going to be covering a number of events, uh,
00:58:35.280
there, uh, looking forward to see you. Don't be shy. Come say, Hey, uh, we might even be
00:58:39.120
able to do an interview with you. Um, and as always, I want to thank everyone for tuning
00:58:42.740
in. I want to thank our folks in Toronto for doing incredible work and making this possible,
00:58:46.120
making us look good. Uh, and as always, I want to thank you all so much for tuning in
