Hello, my rebels. Today, I take you through the tumult, am I saying that word right,
00:00:06.420
of the Conservative Party Policy Convention. On Friday night, Aaron O'Toole challenges his
00:00:10.880
party members. He says, you're not allowed to debate global warming anymore. Debate is over.
00:00:14.920
You're a denier if you do. And the party said, yeah, we'll do what we want. And 54% of them
00:00:20.580
voted against an Aaron O'Toole-style resolution on global warming.
00:00:25.020
I think that Aaron O'Toole caused the whole problem himself by emphasizing global warming.
00:00:31.080
What a weird thing to talk about in the middle of the COVID lockdown. I'll go through it and I'll
00:00:35.240
show you excerpts from his speech and the reaction by party members. But before I do, let me invite

00:01:05.220
Tonight, Aaron O'Toole issues an ultimatum to conservative party members and they rebuke
00:01:25.560
him. It's March 22nd and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:30.800
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:34.480
There's 8,500 customers here and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:38.560
The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody
00:01:44.400
The conservative party had their convention a few days ago. On Friday afternoon, Sheila
00:01:53.640
Gunn-Reed and I had live coverage of leader Aaron O'Toole's keynote speech to the convention. Remember
00:01:59.480
the convention was held online only because of the lockdown. So it was a bit awkward. The leader's
00:02:04.760
speech is usually an emotional and energy highlight of the convention. It's tough to do that in an empty
00:02:10.820
room. I mean, this is the part where you're supposed to hear a big round of applause, a standing ovation,
00:02:18.200
I am proud to lead this great party. I am proud to be a kid from Bowmanville running to be Prime
00:02:26.440
Minister of Canada and together we are going to secure the future for this great country.
00:02:32.580
Yeah, it reminded me of those YouTube clips that show you just how unfunny primetime comedies
00:02:43.900
are without their laugh track. Have you ever seen something like this?
00:02:50.400
Ah, nothing makes beer taste better than cool, clear Rocky Mountains spring water.
00:02:56.800
Philadelphia. Where are the Rocky Mountains anyway? Philadelphia. Really, I thought they
00:03:05.460
were out west someplace. Think about it, Raj. Where did the movie Rocky take place? Philadelphia.
00:03:12.180
Okay, now I get it. So this is the plan. From now on, we're just going to hide out in here
00:03:19.880
to avoid the shamey. I'm very comfortable here. Penny, dear, why don't you shoot another silver
00:03:35.240
God, he's an ass when he drinks. He's an ass when he doesn't. You just don't hear it.
00:03:41.520
I think we need to start entertaining the possibility that the shamey could go on for years.
00:03:45.600
If that's the case, Penny will have to get satellite TV and maybe once a week want to vacuum through this place.
00:03:54.780
I really think that's the analogy. When you hear a politician give a speech in front of a live crowd
00:03:59.940
of partisans, their cheering is pretty much guaranteed. So it makes the speech seem a lot better, a lot stronger,
00:04:06.600
a lot more persuasive. You are psychologically cued to feel that way because everyone else is applauding.
00:04:11.780
You strip it of the applause and it's like a TV comedy without the laugh track telling you what
00:04:17.900
was funny. I actually think it's a lot more real to hear the words without your mind being tricked that
00:04:23.420
it's awesome because some partisans are clapping on command. And so it was that both Sheila and I
00:04:29.240
were struck by the same comments that O'Toole made in the speech. There were a lot of weird things,
00:04:34.620
but the emphasis on global warming was the weirdest. I mean, seriously, we're a year into a pandemic or
00:04:41.940
more accurately, a year into the lockdowns. The unemployment rate is nearly 10% in Canada,
00:04:47.120
the worst in the G7. The debt is so high, there's a unanimous fear of inflation and interest rate
00:04:53.000
hikes. Our civil liberties have been trounced. Bizarre government rules against travel not only
00:04:59.340
crack down on our freedoms but are imperiling a huge swath of our economy. I mean, Air Canada and
00:05:04.820
WestJet will die if something is not yet done, not done soon. And then there's the oil patch,
00:05:10.900
which has had its lifeline cut off, well, I guess one at a time. Trudeau killed three pipelines in
00:05:16.000
Canada and then he sat by quietly as Joe Biden killed the fourth, the keystone itself. There's a lot
00:05:20.640
going on, real things. Even foreign affairs is more sour than ever. Literally this week, two Canadian
00:05:27.960
hostages were put on trial last weekend today, a show trial in China, and our ambassador to China
00:05:35.340
actually hasn't even bothered to say a word about it because he's Dominic Barton. He used to be the
00:05:40.280
big boss at the international consulting firm McKinsey. He was in charge of China for them. They have huge
00:05:47.020
business dealings in China. I think he wanted to be ambassador just to polish his China credentials
00:05:52.760
so that after he's done being ambassador in a few years, he can go back to McKinsey and do even
00:05:57.880
more business deals in China. So speaking out for the two Michaels is an obvious thing that any
00:06:04.940
ambassador would do, but it would be a disaster for him and for McKinsey to do. So he's protecting his
00:06:10.800
future income from China and ignoring our two hostages over there. That just seems to be what he's doing.
00:06:16.760
I know China and foreign affairs are not a pocketbook issue, but it's a national pride issue. I think our
00:06:22.180
country is being disgraced over the China issues. And then there's just all the wokeness in Canada,
00:06:27.560
the cancel culture everywhere from universities to social media. So that's all real stuff, I think.
00:06:33.860
And I think all those issues are the worst ever. But the leader of the conservative party, the leader
00:06:39.220
of the opposition chooses instead that he thinks the big issue is global warming? Now, in 2021, global warming.
00:06:46.860
I mean, seriously, when was the last time you even saw that child actor, Greta Thunberg?
00:06:52.780
The whole eco-extremist movement has been put in the fridge for the last year. No one
00:06:56.780
really cares. I don't think they ever really did. And by the way, those activists that can't travel now,
00:07:03.020
they're not really allowed to have mass protests now. Everyone has bigger concerns now. Seriously,
00:07:07.900
where's Greta? The answer is living rent-free in Erin O'Toole's mind, I think. Actually, I knew things
00:07:13.840
were off to a bad start in the speech when one of the very first things O'Toole said was,
00:07:18.960
party members have to change. Pardon me? What? You mean Canadian politics has to change? Because you're
00:07:25.140
in a pre-election campaign. So Canadian politics has to change, or Trudeau has to change, or the government
00:07:31.500
has to change, or the lockdown has to change, or some law has to change? No, no, no. He says some party
00:07:38.500
has to change. That's what he's passionate about. The party that just elected him, he's springing
00:07:44.160
some news on them. He doesn't like them the way they are. They were good enough for him to vote for
00:07:49.680
him. He liked them then. But now that he's got that in hand, they have to change now, because he
00:07:55.440
says so. It's a surprise. As we all know, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world. Canada
00:08:06.360
has changed. Our party has to change too. Okay, so what change does he mean? Well, like I say,
00:08:14.700
it's about global warming. It was so out of the blue. It's 2021, he's talking about global warming.
00:08:19.940
It was really weird. The first thing O'Toole said was, I know everyone's waiting for me to talk about
00:08:25.440
warming. No, actually, I don't think anyone was, except maybe some global warming lobbyists and
00:08:31.020
some liberals. There's been a lot of speculation about what I'm going to say about climate change
00:08:35.840
in this speech. To those who are expecting a dramatic moment, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.
00:08:42.720
But I will say this. From the first days of my campaign to lead our party, I've said two things
00:08:49.760
consistently. One, we all want a green future for our children. We cannot ignore the reality of climate
00:08:58.680
change. The debate is over. That's so weird. But this was the part that got to me. So he said,
00:09:04.820
there's no more debate allowed about the subject. There just isn't. Even though there is debate in
00:09:12.220
real life. What's causing it? How much is it? Did humans do it? Can anything be done about it?
00:09:18.720
What's the best way if we're going to do something? There's a lot to debate. Parliament debates on it
00:09:23.560
all the time. But he's saying the debate is over. You're just not allowed to anymore. And keep in mind,
00:09:27.820
he said this in the middle of a party policy conference that was specifically tasked with
00:09:35.300
debating issues, dozens of issues. So it's a debating session to debate things. And the party leader just
00:09:41.640
said, sorry, no debating. By the way, he also said, hey, Alberta and Saskatchewan, you oil patch places,
00:09:47.920
I know you're hurting, but I got good news for you guys. And he never really said what the good
00:09:52.060
news was, other than he was going to be prime minister. Hey, how's that for awesome? Yeah,
00:09:56.660
no, that's not quite working. It's not quite working. So you've got to change, you party members.
00:10:03.020
Everyone important is waiting for me to say something about global warming.
00:10:06.820
And no one else in the party is allowed to say anything about global warming.
00:10:09.700
Have you ever heard of that before from Aaron O'Toole until now? I mean, did you hear any of that
00:10:16.640
from him during the leadership race? Did he campaign in Alberta, Saskatchewan saying you guys are going
00:10:21.300
to have to shut up about global warming, okay? Of course not. Like everything else, it's a complete
00:10:27.800
flip-flop on what he ran on. He no longer calls for the CBC to be privatized. He no longer believes
00:10:32.800
in free speech or opposes cancel culture. He no longer opposes foreign aid. He loves it now.
00:10:38.120
Now, he's big into the Liberal Party's net zero carbon plan. This is all a surprise to party
00:10:43.860
members. And by the way, you party members are the ones who have to change. You just have to
00:10:47.860
because he says so. I thought it was bizarre and weird. And without the laugh track, it felt
00:10:54.240
especially clangy. If only he attacked Trudeau with the same vigor that he attacks conservative
00:11:00.040
party members and even MPs who disagree with him. And he used that language that Catherine McKenna
00:11:05.380
and the hard left uses for climate skeptics. He appropriates the language of the Holocaust.
00:11:11.480
You're a Holocaust denier if you dispute that it happened. You're a climate denier if you don't
00:11:19.780
believe it's happening or is human-caused or can be solved by people. He said this.
00:11:26.120
And I will not allow 338 candidates to defend against the lie from the Liberals that we are
00:11:33.960
a party of climate change deniers. We will have a plan to address climate change. It will be
00:11:40.820
comprehensive and it will be serious. I think the party was stunned to hear that. And look what they
00:11:48.580
did to him the very next day. Here's a story in CTV. Party members voted by 54% against a policy
00:11:58.160
resolution that would have had these words in them. We recognize that climate change is real.
00:12:05.460
The conservative party is willing to act. Now, I tell you, I was looking for the full text of the
00:12:12.580
resolution. It's a little bit hard to find. The conservative party won't publish their debates
00:12:17.680
online. They've deleted the link from their main website to the convention website. But I managed
00:12:23.880
to dig up the resolution. Here's what it actually said. It was quite long, actually. You can take a
00:12:30.340
look at it here on page nine of their policy debates. It's got lots of cliches in it. I like
00:12:35.740
some of it, sort of. We believe that an effective international emissions reduction regime on climate
00:12:41.540
change must be truly global and must include binding targets for all the world's major emitters,
00:12:46.340
including China and the United States. All right. Well, now that will never happen. Of course,
00:12:51.540
China is specifically exempt from making reductions. They're, in fact, allowed to increase their
00:12:56.600
emissions. But even if China was bound by the rules, why does Canada have to reduce our industry,
00:13:02.740
our emissions, for a harmless, colorless, odorless gas that's the stuff of life, especially when we
00:13:08.200
have the biggest force in the world that sop up carbon dioxide? In fact, carbon dioxide is
00:13:12.960
necessary for photosynthesis. I know fancy people roll their eyes when you mention that basic fact,
00:13:18.000
but no one is even talking about this whole issue right now. No one's even talked about this debate
00:13:23.200
in over a year. What kind of weirdo thinks this is the key issue to lean into weeks before a federal
00:13:29.100
election? I'll read some more. This is from the resolution that was voted down by 54 percent.
00:13:33.800
We believe that Canada should create a program to heighten public awareness to the economic benefits
00:13:40.900
of environmental solutions, which minimize the waste of resources. What? So you want to create a
00:13:46.840
program to tell people it's not good to waste things? This is high school model parliament level
00:13:52.020
policy. Here's the key line that the media reported. We recognize that climate change is real.
00:13:57.940
The conservative party is willing to act. Well, what is it prepared to do to act? What part is real?
00:14:05.300
Of course it's real. You've heard of the ice ages, right? And you know we're not really in an ice age.
00:14:10.400
Well, the poles are still covered in ice, so technically we are in a minor ice age, but North America
00:14:16.640
is not covered in ice as it was just 10,000 years ago. Look, I don't think anyone in the world denies
00:14:21.620
that the climate change is over time. The question is what causes it, and can it be stopped, and should
00:14:28.060
it be stopped? Isn't it better when it's warm? And what policies are we going to do using climate
00:14:32.500
change as the excuse? This resolution wasn't serious at all about any of that. I can see why
00:14:39.340
grassroots members were either grossed out by it, or insulted by it, or genuinely worried by it.
00:14:45.560
It was such a mishmash, so amateur, and it talked about new programs and new spending. I'm not
00:14:51.440
surprised that it lost, and I'm glad it did, and I think it would have no matter what, but I truly
00:14:56.800
think that the ambush-style speech by O'Toole the night before ensured that it lost. A leader with
00:15:03.720
no mandate on the subject suddenly lectures party members saying they have to change, they can't talk
00:15:10.060
about things he says they can't, they have to obey him, and they're deniers if they don't? Yeah, no,
00:15:17.620
they put him in his place. He hasn't earned cult leader status yet. No one knows him, let alone
00:15:24.600
trust him. He's sort of a placeholder for now. He hasn't earned anything yet. The media had a field
00:15:30.960
day, and by that I mean the media party. Here's the CBC. They loved it. So did all the media.
00:15:35.440
But what was fascinating was I think O'Toole actually liked the fight with his own party.
00:15:42.520
I mean, check this out. Catherine McKenna, she was cheering for him. Elizabeth May, the Green Party,
00:15:48.560
she was cheering for him. Liberal MPs, they're rooting for him. Even the Liberal War Room was
00:15:54.920
cheering for him. Now normally if you're the leader of a conservative party, you want to offend and
00:16:00.980
discomfort and worry the other parties, your rivals. It's a zero-sum game. There's only 338 MPs.
00:16:07.840
Only one person can be PM. You want the other guys to be upset with you, to oppose to you.
00:16:14.100
Don't you think it's a little bit of a warning light when Trudeau's party is unanimously
00:16:17.160
cheering for you? Here's Gerald Butts, for heaven's sakes, cheering for Aaron O'Toole.
00:16:22.800
And the thing is, they mean it. It's not a psyop. It's not a trick. They see that he is capitulated
00:16:28.860
to them on a core issue. They see he's at war with his own party members now. They see he's
00:16:34.420
attacking them. They love it. They want to pour salt into the wounds. They love it. But more than
00:16:39.760
that, they see that he has, for some bizarre reason, made this the big news item coming out of
00:16:47.280
his policy convention, global warming. No one else in the country was talking about it, but Trudeau is
00:16:54.740
sure glad O'Toole is. Imagine if instead O'Toole was talking about the lockdowns and, I don't
00:17:00.220
know, the insane quarantine hotels at airports and civil liberties, all that stuff that he
00:17:06.540
could win on. Instead, he's talking about the Liberal Party's favorite subject. It would
00:17:11.240
be like if Trudeau suddenly gave a keynote speech to his party, telling his party they have to
00:17:16.680
really focus on ethics or on pipelines. No, no, no. He hates talking about those things. It's only
00:17:26.200
degrees of losing for him. He loves to talk about global warming. That's all winning for him. And
00:17:31.860
Erin O'Toole has chosen to help? I note that the Conservative Party policy book has had blather about
00:17:39.320
global warming in it for years. I concede that. They weren't particularly great on the issue, but it was
00:17:45.180
either discounted or ignored by everyone involved. It's all just talking points and jargon and mishmash.
00:17:51.720
But Erin O'Toole is the one who said to the media, watch me emphasize this. Watch me declare the issues
00:17:58.360
off limits. Watch me tame my own party on this. He announced the issue as the thing his party had to
00:18:05.360
change, and they said, yeah, no thanks. He did this to himself. He emphasized this. He chose these
00:18:12.200
headlines. And I think he's actually loving it. I think he still thinks he's winning on all this.
00:18:18.140
Here's a party boss saying, it doesn't matter what the party members say. They're going ahead with
00:18:23.160
Erin O'Toole's point of view. Yeah, we know. We know. Which is why the party is sagging in the polls,
00:18:29.200
which is why Erin O'Toole has not had a honeymoon. Look, if you're in the 20s in the polls, maybe it's
00:18:35.080
time to stop throwing away party members. Time to stop kicking out MPs, trying to stop calling members
00:18:41.220
deniers, telling them they're wrong, and they just have to shut up. Just an idea.
00:18:48.260
He's going to get slaughtered in the election, isn't he? Stay with us for more.
00:18:52.280
Well, I am very excited. There is a new book out by our good friend Mark Morano. It's called
00:19:09.720
Green Fraud. Why the Green New Deal is even worse than you think. Obviously of great importance to
00:19:17.500
Americans. But unfortunately, Justin Trudeau seems to be tracking the language of the Green New Deal
00:19:24.520
almost word for word. He even uses that phrase, build back better. Well, the book goes on sale
00:19:30.100
right now. And in fact, we've got a link on the Amazon page under this video. Joining us now via
00:19:35.480
Skype is the author, Mark Morano. Mark, great to see you again. You've had a lot of great bestsellers
00:19:40.680
on the issue of global warming. Tell me a little bit about Green Fraud and what it brings to our
00:19:47.820
readers. Thank you, Ezra. Yes, Green Fraud releases March 23rd, wherever fine books are sold, including
00:19:55.420
Amazon, which hasn't banned books that challenge the United Nations and the Green New Deal yet.
00:20:01.620
But the book deals with the fraud of this whole movement. And the gist of it is, if we actually had
00:20:07.080
to rely on the Green New Deal or the UN Paris Agreement to save us, we'd all be doomed. And the
00:20:12.980
fraud involved here is there is no climate emergency. And something like the Green New Deal, even if we
00:20:18.580
faced it, would have no impact on global emissions, let alone global climate, regardless of your views on
00:20:25.400
the science of climate change. This is a Trojan horse of changing our lives to be beholden to bureaucrats
00:20:33.200
on nearly every single aspect of our lives. And they're using the climate scare to achieve their
00:20:39.080
ends, much the way the people have used COVID to achieve their ends in terms of lockdown and
00:20:46.280
regulations and enforcing tyranny. You know, it's funny, I pay close attention to the words that the
00:20:52.260
global warming types use, especially in Canada. And the phrase I keep hearing is fighting global warming
00:20:58.840
or climate change or combating climate change. So it's the verb, they never say solving it, fixing
00:21:06.320
it, ending it, reversing it, they never even say slowing it down. Because as I think you're just
00:21:11.660
trying to make the point, even if we accept the premise, which I don't, that global warming is bad,
00:21:20.000
and that it's caused by people, if you accept those premises, let's say you're a total believer,
00:21:24.280
the prescriptions offered by the Democrats, by Justin Trudeau, none of them, even the UN's
00:21:33.140
prescriptions, none of them actually stop that megatrend, do they? No, they don't. And even
00:21:39.260
recently, and I include quotes from John Kerry, the climate envoy of the Biden administration,
00:21:43.960
former Secretary of State, who openly admits it, that even if the United States went down to zero,
00:21:48.540
it would have no impact on the, basically the emissions or the climate, the UN Paris agreement
00:21:53.860
admitted this. And you're exactly right, there is no criteria by which to solve the crisis. And the
00:22:00.420
same is true, you know, with the COVID law, you know, there's no set criteria. So what happens is,
00:22:05.360
we don't know, like with the global temperature reaches X, we can end the provisions of the Green
00:22:10.160
New Deal. They don't offer us that because you should want the Green New Deal, regardless of anything,
00:22:15.900
it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. And if you don't like it, well, we have a problem with
00:22:22.680
you. And the same thing, if you don't like a COVID lockdown, they can cut your water off,
00:22:26.820
they can cut your utilities if you don't comply. This is not some great idea that we can all rally
00:22:32.820
behind. This is an idea that's being imposed upon us using the climate scare. The Green New Deal has
00:22:39.660
nothing to do with climate. And I quote the architects of the Green New Deal, I go in great detail about the
00:22:44.100
history, the origin. Of course, it goes back to the United Nations sustainable agenda development.
00:22:48.940
It goes back even further to the 1960s with the overpopulation scare because all the solutions
00:22:54.200
that they came up with to the overpopulation scare and even the global cooling scare all mirrored
00:23:00.380
today's Green New Deal restrictions on all aspects of human endeavors. You know, when you said
00:23:06.720
the COVID lockdown and, you know, there are some cases of power being turned off to people who don't
00:23:12.100
comply, I've seen cases of judges denying parents access to their children in divorced families if one
00:23:21.060
parent is offside with mask policy. So we see extreme meddling in private life, private property,
00:23:30.280
family life using COVID as a template. I think it is no longer unthinkable that you have a climate
00:23:37.720
lockdown that has similar invasiveness into your life because they've shown they can get away with
00:23:43.300
it. Same junk science. In some cases, the same people making the arguments.
00:23:48.740
It is, yes. In fact, Neil Ferguson's COVID model and the spectacular failure of it is very small
00:23:56.020
microcosm. It's an example of the entire climate debate. Come up with scary predictions. Come up with
00:24:01.780
your solution. COVID's a lockdown and the climate's a Green New Deal or climate lockdown. And then, you
00:24:07.560
know, if it doesn't come as bad as you think, take credit for your policies saving the planet. You know,
00:24:12.240
if you put a rabbit's foot in your pocket and you don't have a car accident, guess what? Your rabbit's foot
00:24:16.500
saved you from a horrible accident. That's what they think of when they, that's what a lockdown is to the
00:24:21.720
left. But they don't really care if the lockdown works. They don't really care if the Green New
00:24:25.840
Deal impacts the climate. What they care about is fear. And Jane Fonda said it best, COVID is God's
00:24:33.900
gift to the left. It gave everything that climate activists wanted in the form of COVID. And so
00:24:40.100
what's happened now, I have a whole chapter on how the left is lusting. The climate activists are
00:24:45.560
lusting after the attention and the policies that were thrown the way of COVID. They're jealous of
00:24:53.280
COVID lockdowns. And they openly talk about wanting climate lockdowns. John Kerry, Al Gore,
00:24:59.720
Greta Thunberg, UN Climate Chief. They all openly say that we can do it for the climate. We can do it
00:25:05.640
for COVID. We can do it for the climate. And you even have John Kerry saying the parallels are
00:25:10.860
screaming at us. It's the same solution. In other words, the mighty hand of government crushing
00:25:16.700
individual liberty, freedom, market economies is the same solution that they want. It's what
00:25:24.000
they've always wanted. They've talked openly for decades about degrowth and planned recessions to
00:25:29.160
fight global warming. What is the Green New Deal but a planned recession on our economy in the name of
00:25:36.140
Mark, I got to tell you, in Canada, we have a fairly new leader of the Conservative Party.
00:25:41.900
His name is Aaron O'Toole. I'm pretty sure that no Americans ever heard of him. And I don't know
00:25:47.580
how long he's going to be the leader. But I am a conservative in my bones. And it pains me to tell
00:25:53.120
you, and I'm pretty sure you didn't know this. But on Friday, he gave his speech to the party's
00:25:57.620
policy convention. And he used the phrase climate deniers. And he said that the debate is over. And
00:26:06.980
he said the party has to change. Now, the next day, the party rebuked him, rejecting a resolution
00:26:12.920
to that effect, 54% to 46%. So there's this fissure in the party. Obviously, parties want their leader
00:26:20.920
to do well. But that was just too much to swallow for grassroots members who were sort of shocked
00:26:27.400
by the Conservative leader using the rhetoric of the left, deniers, the debate is over.
00:26:33.720
My biggest beef, I mean, if it would win him the election, at least I could understand it.
00:26:39.540
But it doesn't seem to be moving any of his poll numbers. It's just alienating the base.
00:26:44.420
Here's my main thesis. And I just said this in my monologue today. We're in 2021. Who's even
00:26:50.840
focused on global warming? I bet if you ask people unprompted, they would say, I'm worried about
00:26:57.200
my job. I'm worried about the debt. I'm worried about civil liberties. I'm worried about, you know,
00:27:02.420
unemployment. There's a lot of real things at the pandemic. Maybe they're worried about getting
00:27:06.320
COVID. I don't know. But I just think that unprompted, if you said, how do you, is global warming
00:27:11.720
your priority? I don't think if you said that unprompted, you're going to, that you would get
00:27:15.920
that answer unprompted, I mean. And I'm boggling my mind thinking, who is even focused on this stuff?
00:27:21.780
I know the lobbyists are and those who want to spend money on their friends are, but is there
00:27:26.720
a poll? Is there a demand from the populace for this? No, no. In fact, last year, I think it was
00:27:34.680
the fall of last year, the Harris polling CEO said that climate has dropped off the math and the map
00:27:40.980
in the era of COVID. It doesn't even show up in top 10, top 15 polling numbers of any concern as an
00:27:47.160
issue. But here's the thing, and I detail this in Green Fraud. They're now using the COVID scare
00:27:55.060
to tie it into climate. In other words, unchecked climate change will mean more viruses. And that's
00:27:59.900
why we need, you know, the solutions to climate change. And beyond that, the UK House of Commons
00:28:04.800
speaker actually said he was so impressed by how and shocked by how compliant the public was on the
00:28:11.260
COVID lockdowns that he wants to go right to a climate lockdown. They're using these COVID lockdowns as
00:28:16.840
a form of the Green New Deal to impose it on us without a vote. In other words, right now, you have
00:28:23.300
the Biden administration, executive orders coming out, banning, you know, fracking death of a thousand
00:28:28.920
cuts, going after Keystone Pipeline. But even more importantly, in every single department of Biden,
00:28:36.660
it has become a, quote, climate agency. So it's State Department, Interior Department, Defense
00:28:41.520
Department. Climate is becoming front and center. And they're going after it economically. They're
00:28:46.740
going to go after banks and financing and taking away investments from fossil fuels. So that is a
00:28:53.740
way you can achieve the Green New Deal without the public not only not voting on it, but not even
00:28:58.040
being aware it's happening behind the scenes. And that is where this is really sinister. And I go to
00:29:02.680
detail about how they're going to try to impose the Green New Deal without a vote of Congress.
00:29:07.200
Yeah. You know, it reminds me, we were talking to our friend, Dr. Patrick Moore, and he said,
00:29:11.280
there's some similarities. The enemy is invisible. You can't check it yourself, both COVID and climate.
00:29:18.280
You have to listen to the experts. They use models that are almost always wrong. The similarities are
00:29:24.680
strong. I think that no one actually acted like they were afraid of climate. They might tell a pollster
00:29:30.060
they were afraid of it, but then they, you know, obviously got in their car and whatever. I mean,
00:29:34.040
there's nothing more fun than going to a global warming rally and asking people how they got there.
00:29:38.960
That used to be a hobby of mine, but they actually got people scared for the COVID and they saw how
00:29:46.080
compliant people are. I find it terrifying. Some people I think have reacted and realized the whole
00:29:50.560
thing was a scare, but I think some people have been scared for life. There are some people I think
00:29:56.920
who for the rest of their lives are going to live in terror. And I find this deeply depressing. And I
00:30:02.840
think there's a chance that this green fraud you write about in your book by the same name
00:30:07.300
will take root. The book, again, just for those who are joining us, Green Fraud,
00:30:13.200
Why the Green New Deal is Even Worse Than You Think. Mark, I'm sure it is worse than I think,
00:30:18.020
but I think it's more likely now than ever to happen because we've been conditioned to obey for
00:30:22.720
the last year. Yeah. In fact, I have a whole section too in the book, how that jealousy has spawned
00:30:28.480
proposals. I go into adding climate change to death certificates. And we already have the
00:30:34.620
American Cancer Society saying cancer is worse because of global warming. The U.S. Department
00:30:39.300
of Transportation, climate change is causing more fatal car accidents. Al Gore has claiming that
00:30:45.300
every organ of your body is affected by climate change. So if you die of organ failure, a car crash,
00:30:50.260
or cancer, and actually even if you're a minority and you're shot by a white cop, racism is caused by
00:30:59.000
climate change. All of those can now be listed as a climate change death. You can actually see CNN now
00:31:04.340
in the mainstream media with their daily death tolls of climate change. So they're going to learn,
00:31:09.660
adapt, and they're going to also, what I think the biggest lesson of this, Ezra, isn't even public
00:31:14.920
persuasion of how they're going to try to scare people. I think they realize you declare an
00:31:19.780
emergency and you do whatever the hell you want. Yeah. And that's what every blue state Democrat
00:31:24.460
state governor, that's what every tin pot dictator across the world has done. You have a public health
00:31:30.000
emergency. You can suspend democracy. You can suspend parliament. You don't need it. We have to act
00:31:35.160
decisively and immediately. And that is what President Biden is being urged to declare this national
00:31:40.420
climate emergency. That is the real fear here. They don't need no stinking polling. They don't
00:31:45.440
need no stinking democracy. They just need your public declaration, a health declaration, or a
00:31:52.760
climate emergency, and they can do whatever the hell they want. That's what we're facing. And that's
00:31:57.440
why I have a whole chapter on the great reset and build back better in the whole world economic form.
00:32:02.040
They're trying to collapse our present system and build it back up in the bureaucratic centrally
00:32:07.460
planned image. Wow. That's terrifying. And it's a very compelling. I'm going to go buy your book
00:32:12.100
right now. I want to especially read that chapter on the great reset. It's something we've been
00:32:16.080
focused on up here. Mark, it's great to see you. We're very excited that you stopped by
00:32:20.000
to announce your book. Folks, I just want to say its title again, it's called Green Fraud. Why the Green
00:32:25.860
New Deal is even worse than you think. You can buy it on Amazon. We'll have the link on this page,
00:32:31.160
or you can find it on amazon.ca. Mark, good luck. This book is much needed. I just hope enough people
00:32:37.040
see it to make a difference. Thanks for writing it. Thank you very much. And I'm going to ask you,
00:32:41.340
Mark Stein does the forward. It's hilarious. Oh, he's the best. That's great. All right,
00:32:45.600
there you have it, Mark. Great to see you. Thank you, Ezra. There you have it, Mark Morano. He's
00:32:49.620
the boss of climate depot.com, and the new book is called Green Fraud. Stay with us. More ahead.
00:32:54.080
Hey, welcome back on my show Friday. Jay writes, what does working tirelessly for the two Michaels
00:33:11.100
mean exactly? Bending the knee more forcefully? The woke liberals and Democrats are no match for
00:33:16.680
China. The world needs Trump now more than ever. Yeah, I mean, I watched that clip of Trudeau,
00:33:22.680
and there was no action there. I mean, I know what you could do, and I'm not prescribing any of
00:33:27.500
these. I'm just saying here's a laundry list. You could limit or reduce the number of children of
00:33:32.720
Chinese Communist Party members who get to come to Canada to go to university. You could withdraw
00:33:38.200
some Canadian diplomats from China and send some Chinese diplomats home from Canada. You could ban
00:33:46.800
Huawei. You could even issue a demand that China send home the two Michaels, like a demand, not just
00:33:55.280
to please, please. Those are just a small list. Trudeau hasn't done any of that, but even worse,
00:34:02.100
his ambassador hasn't said a word. Mitch writes, Joe Biden just fell again running up the stairs of Air
00:34:08.360
Force One. I think they need to consider building a ramp for him. Yeah, he tripped three times going up
00:34:14.380
the stairs. When Donald Trump held on to some railing, there were huge stories everywhere about,
00:34:19.040
oh, is he old? Is he infirm? And Biden stumbles. Oh, no, no, it was just the wind, they said.
00:34:25.900
Thomas writes, Ezra, there are over 100 Canadians being detained in China. I know, look at any given
00:34:31.860
moment, there are, I've seen the math, between 1,000 and 2,000 Canadians being detained around the
00:34:37.960
world. And some of that is normal. Some of that is Canadians who have committed real crimes around the
00:34:42.740
world, often violent crimes or drug crimes. And some of them are fake. Some of them are trumped up.
00:34:49.160
Some of them are real. In almost all cases, Canada tries to bring the prisoners home to have them serve
00:34:55.440
out the sentence in Canada, because often, you know, the quality of the justice system in the
00:35:00.700
prisons overseas is not that which Canadians are used to. I think it's a good idea to bring Canadians
00:35:05.600
home, even the criminals, as long as they serve out their sentence in Canada. But that's the thing
00:35:10.320
about Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig. They're clearly not real criminals. They clearly were
00:35:14.860
seized and abused. Their trials are not real. Justin Trudeau and the Liberals have gone to bat for,
00:35:21.320
for example, Omar Khadr, an actual convicted terrorist war criminal murderer. They fought to bring Omar Khadr
00:35:29.000
her home. But they aren't doing a thing to bring them to Michael's home, are they? That's our show for
00:35:34.880
today. Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rumble World Headquarters, to you at home, good night.
