00:03:24.120 in there at the partage he jumps out the passenger side of the truck
00:03:32.360 according to witnesses he's got a long arm rifle and a bag later we find out it's ammunition
00:03:41.640 he walks around he sees two witnesses at the funeral home across the street from where he rent
00:03:47.640 he engages and fires towards them he continues walking he continues walking towards the school he climbs
00:04:00.040 a fence now he's in the parking lot shooting at the school multiple times hold your child or children
00:04:10.440 very tight and pay close attention to him i think parenting is a sacred act
00:04:25.240 and if you do not take it that way then learn from this even learn from this traumatic experience
00:04:35.000 that not only parents are affected by it but the entire cities the entire state
00:04:43.800 entire country all the world is affected by this and it hurts everyone
00:04:53.240 but if you as a parent are complacent with your children as to knowing what's going on in their life
00:05:00.280 then maybe step it up a little bit you know ask your kids questions how was school today how are you feeling
00:05:13.960 if there's anything new in their life asking these little simple questions can prevent a child
00:05:24.040 or a teenager from bringing a gun to a school
00:05:28.040 I hope also that the community is united here because they are supporting all of us
00:05:33.320 I was yesterday in the vigilance and the community was united and ready to support each other
00:05:40.280 the sacerdotes there were saying they were there supporting anyone they were there
00:05:44.440 they were giving food to the people they were giving food to the people they were just helping them
00:05:49.480 yeah
00:05:54.120 you
00:05:55.480 Mikey
00:05:55.740 Mikey
00:05:55.920 oh
00:05:56.180 and this program is
00:05:57.560 no, so, this.
00:05:58.400 especiallyああ
00:05:59.520 music
00:05:59.920 oh
00:06:01.480 I did not see of all of this, yes it's for my son.
00:06:02.040 aberf basis
00:06:02.680 when my mother, my men, her mother, I know, she said that I see a
00:06:04.360 shooter Toril hustlers at school
00:06:05.400 there I agree that you believe she will get up
00:06:07.320 and then I want to keep her if, after the pain
00:06:09.240 I actually preach
00:06:10.400 and I never thought a feeling that the girl would take
00:06:13.480 and thanks to the child that itacji
00:06:13.800 such is
00:06:14.840 And then they told us that we could take the girl.
00:06:17.880 It was about two hours and a half later.
00:06:20.540 And then my wife told us to get up and she was scared.
00:06:24.080 Our girl is a special girl.
00:06:26.300 So she was, and the teacher told me, she was very worried about what was happening and she was scared.
00:06:33.000 I'm not sure if you know Juan. He is our newest reporter.
00:06:35.940 He covers things in Texas, including the illegal border crossing.
00:06:40.000 He's going to Miami to head up our new Florida Bureau.
00:06:43.220 I think Ron DeSantis is the most interesting politician in America right now.
00:06:48.540 And not just Americans, but Canadians and people around the whole world are fascinated by that place.
00:06:53.760 It's a beacon on how to fight against lockdownism, but also many other political plagues from woke corporations like Disney to critical race theory in schools to big tech censorship.
00:07:06.260 So we'll see more of Juan in the months ahead.
00:07:08.680 And by the way, he does his reports in both English and also in Spanish.
00:07:13.220 Because there's a growing generation of pro-freedom Latinos in America who reject the whole philosophy of the left.
00:07:20.720 I'm excited by that.
00:07:22.440 It's a small project, but it's a good one.
00:07:25.300 But back to Uvalde and the atrocity there, a terrible, horrific story.
00:07:29.740 A mass murderer.
00:07:30.940 Yes, but shockingly, police, when they arrived, they refused to go in.
00:07:36.380 They waited outside.
00:07:37.800 They didn't try and break down the door.
00:07:39.160 They didn't go in to save the children.
00:07:41.560 They literally said they were worried about being shot.
00:07:47.060 Officers are there.
00:07:48.100 The initial officers, they receive gunfire.
00:07:49.860 They don't make entry initially because of the gunfire they're receiving.
00:07:56.200 But we have officers calling for additional resources.
00:08:00.960 Everybody that's in the area.
00:08:03.900 Tactical teams.
00:08:05.160 We need equipment.
00:08:06.340 We need specialty equipment.
00:08:08.640 We need body armor.
00:08:10.000 We need precision riflemen.
00:08:13.200 Negotiators.
00:08:13.760 So during that time that they're making those calls to bring in help.
00:08:20.060 Yeah, that's like a fireman saying he won't go into a house because it's on fire.
00:08:25.400 Pretty much defeats the purpose of a fireman.
00:08:28.300 A cop who would let children be massacred because he's a coward and won't go in is inexcusable.
00:08:34.180 The entire chain of command needs to be fired.
00:08:37.340 There was a mom who showed up and wanted the police to go in.
00:08:41.020 And the police instead handcuffed her.
00:08:45.340 When they took the cuffs off her, she actually ran in and rescued her children.
00:08:49.760 What an atrocious event.
00:08:52.140 They say, let the police help us.
00:08:54.780 The police will rescue you.
00:08:56.020 You don't need guns.
00:08:57.140 The cops have them.
00:08:58.680 Well, the police not only did nothing, they restrained parents from helping their own children.
00:09:03.420 But that tragedy and the horrific crime and the mass murder is political gold for leftists.
00:09:12.700 I have to say, some leftists really care about kids, but a lot, I don't think they really do.
00:09:19.180 I'm sorry to say that.
00:09:20.440 They locked down schools and forced children to wear masks against all signs.
00:09:27.120 They still do this in New York City, for example.
00:09:29.920 I don't think the left really cares about kids.
00:09:32.280 They use that as a tool for things.
00:09:33.980 I mean, these are people who often believe in abortion on demand for any reason or no reason until the moment of birth.
00:09:39.400 And believe it or not, some leftists believe in abortion after the moment of birth.
00:09:44.920 I don't think they care about these kids in Uvalde in particular.
00:09:48.500 Some of them obviously do.
00:09:50.400 But a lot of them just know it's a great crisis to be used to disarm all citizens.
00:09:56.700 I don't have any firearms myself.
00:09:59.200 But I respect those who do.
00:10:01.620 And there is no farmer or hunter who does these atrocities.
00:10:05.980 No member of the NRA has ever committed an atrocity like this.
00:10:11.100 It's criminal to do.
00:10:12.380 It's gangs.
00:10:13.240 It's unstable people.
00:10:15.680 They won't be deterred by any paperwork or any more laws.
00:10:20.000 If you're willing to murder children, you're probably willing to violate some paperwork law to get your hands on some guns.
00:10:28.200 So Joe Biden is looking to capitalize on this, of course.
00:10:31.900 He has to change the channel from his disastrous leadership.
00:10:35.140 He's an American.
00:10:36.440 Gun control is a big issue there.
00:10:38.520 Their Second Amendment, their Constitution lets Americans have guns.
00:10:41.700 And many do.
00:10:43.580 And the summer of riots in 2020 by the Democrats' street gangs, whether it was Antifa or Black Lives Matter.
00:10:50.740 Well, after that, many Americans chose to protect themselves.
00:10:53.720 They wouldn't rely on police.
00:10:55.360 Now, here in Canada, it's not so much.
00:10:57.120 And there are pluses and minuses to our lack of the same gun culture.
00:11:01.500 But we already have very strict gun control in Canada.
00:11:05.720 It's almost impossible to legally buy a handgun in Canada.
00:11:10.500 They have been heavily regulated since 1934.
00:11:14.840 Did you know that?
00:11:16.860 Trudeau already announced that he intended to ban up to 1,500 different kinds of assault rifles.
00:11:23.420 I don't really think there are 1,500 kinds.
00:11:27.220 Trudeau was just trying to say something impressive to uneducated journalists.
00:11:31.720 I don't think there's a definition of an assault rifle.
00:11:35.160 I mean, what does that mean?
00:11:36.700 Something scary?
00:11:37.660 Maybe something black.
00:11:38.800 I think that's black and maybe plastic parts.
00:11:41.740 But again, Trudeau is largely reannouncing what he's announced before.
00:11:45.700 Not being able to sell or transfer a handgun is a violation of property rights, of course.
00:11:51.500 But again, it's a kind of media trick.
00:11:54.480 Today, you can't just sell or give your handgun to anyone.
00:11:57.900 They have to be licensed, too.
00:11:59.660 I'm not saying there is nothing new here.
00:12:02.080 And I'm barely more educated than a regular journalist who knows literally nothing about guns.
00:12:08.160 I'm just saying a lot of Trudeau is just photo ops and puffery.
00:12:11.960 So here's what he said yesterday.
00:12:13.200 We're introducing legislation to implement a national freeze on handgun ownership.
00:12:21.860 What this means is that it will no longer be possible to buy, sell, transfer or import handguns anywhere in Canada.
00:12:34.320 In other words, we're capping the market for handguns.
00:12:43.200 As a further part of this new legislation, we're also fighting gun smuggling and trafficking
00:12:57.980 by increasing maximum criminal penalties and providing more tools for law enforcement to investigate firearm crimes.
00:13:06.700 And we'll require the permanent alteration of long gun magazines so they can never hold more than five rounds.
00:13:14.920 These are actions that doctors, experts, and chiefs of police have been calling for for years, and we're acting on their advice.
00:13:24.920 I also want to thank the advocates, many of whom are here today for your tireless efforts.
00:13:32.720 I know that for too many of you, grief and loss are at the root of the work that you do.
00:13:40.420 I want to recognize that, and on behalf of all Canadians, I want to thank you for your strength.
00:13:46.680 Yes.
00:13:49.140 So rifles now can only have five bullets in a magazine.
00:13:53.580 Can you tell me the last time a hunting rifle was used in a mass shooting?
00:13:58.680 Has it ever happened, by the way?
00:14:00.140 Or in a bank heist or some gang war?
00:14:03.080 Is it common to have a long rifle, you know, these gangs in their cars trying to get their rifle?
00:14:07.620 Does that happen a lot?
00:14:09.460 I don't think so.
00:14:10.620 In fact, I don't know if it's ever happened.
00:14:12.080 But Trudeau hates farmers and ranchers and anyone rural who might have such a rifle.
00:14:19.520 This is a slap in their face.
00:14:21.080 He hated them even before he discovered how much he hates truckers.
00:14:26.420 Now, Trudeau says he's going to increase penalties for certain gun crimes.
00:14:31.860 Now, I got a one-question IQ test for you.
00:14:35.620 Do you believe him?
00:14:37.940 I mean, do you really think he'd increase criminal penalties for anything other than being a trucker who peacefully protested against him?
00:14:46.000 Now, when he says he'll increase penalties, well, he says that, but I think he's a bit of a liar because there is a bill in Parliament right now where he says he will do the opposite.
00:14:59.080 It's called Bill C-6.
00:15:01.940 You can find it online.
00:15:03.080 Again, let me read to you the official government press release announcing it with a bit of background about it just from just a few months ago.
00:15:10.620 This background is called Bill C-5, mandatory minimum penalties to be repealed.
00:15:16.300 So you might remember that Stephen Harper brought in mandatory minimum sentences for a variety of serious crimes, including a lot of gun crimes.
00:15:26.700 Trudeau is keeping just a few of those for murder, for using guns in a gang.
00:15:32.680 Okay, good.
00:15:33.240 But for almost everything else, he is literally reducing the prison sentences.
00:15:40.120 He's reducing them, including, as you can see, let's just go through this list.
00:15:45.040 Using a firearm or imitation firearm in commission of an offense.
00:15:49.680 Two different offenses.
00:15:51.820 Possession of a firearm or weapon, knowing its possession is unauthorized.
00:15:57.180 Possession of a prohibited or restrictive firearm with ammunition.
00:16:03.560 Oh, I thought he said he was cracking down on handguns, but now he's reducing the penalties.
00:16:07.860 Possession of weapon obtained by commission of an offense.
00:16:11.140 So stealing a gun.
00:16:13.140 Weapons trafficking.
00:16:14.300 I thought he said he was cracking down on something.
00:16:17.560 Possession for purpose of weapons trafficking.
00:16:21.280 This is exactly what he just claimed he wants to get tough on.
00:16:24.100 He's reducing the sentences.
00:16:25.260 Importing or exporting, knowing it is unauthorized.
00:16:29.480 He just said he was going to crack down on it.
00:16:31.660 Bill 5 reduces the penalties.
00:16:34.640 Discharging firearm with intent.
00:16:37.540 Discharging firearm.
00:16:39.100 Recklessness.
00:16:40.400 Robbery with a firearm.
00:16:41.760 You're reducing mandatory minimum sentences on that.
00:16:45.100 Extortion with a firearm.
00:16:47.280 Selling of tobacco products and raw leaf tobacco.
00:16:50.740 It's got nothing to do with guns, but most of them do.
00:16:52.720 So you're really, really mad at gun crime.
00:16:55.840 You're super mad.
00:16:57.180 So mad.
00:16:58.300 You're going to reduce the sentences of pretty much every gun crime you could think of.
00:17:06.540 Except murder.
00:17:08.340 But those farmers and ranchers, they can only have five bullets in a magazine.
00:17:12.860 That's the real problem.
00:17:14.060 Now, that's a trap, of course.
00:17:15.200 If you're a farmer, you've probably had a rifle in your family since you were a kid.
00:17:20.860 Maybe you inherited it from your dad.
00:17:21.980 Maybe that's a rifle.
00:17:23.600 Seriously.
00:17:24.700 That your dad brought back from World War II or World War I.
00:17:27.080 There's probably some farms and ranches.
00:17:29.240 It's not rare to have firearms almost 100 years old.
00:17:32.320 You probably have a magazine for that gun that holds, I don't know, more than five bullets.
00:17:38.800 You might have even forgotten about it.
00:17:41.100 Or you just can't get around to buying a new magazine because Justin Trudeau said so.
00:17:47.300 So you've just been turned into a criminal because Trudeau changed some paperwork from six bullets to five bullets.
00:17:55.020 You've been lawful your whole life.
00:17:56.680 You've never used the gun for anything other than, I don't know, shooting at the odd coyote coming to menace your farm.
00:18:03.040 But Trudeau said a piece of property you have is now enough to turn you into a criminal.
00:18:09.580 You might have even forgotten about it.
00:18:12.700 But now you are a gun criminal.
00:18:16.260 So real gun criminals can go free faster.
00:18:19.560 That's what Bill C-5 is about.
00:18:21.680 Farmers and ranchers have now been criminalized.
00:18:24.380 All because Trudeau saw some news in Uvalde, Texas that he knew he could exploit.
00:18:30.380 He's standing on those dead bodies as he makes his political move.
00:18:35.400 You know, there's a pattern here.
00:18:37.660 I tweeted about it yesterday.
00:18:39.200 I read to you what I said.
00:18:40.240 I said, suspend civil liberties.
00:18:44.580 Seize bank accounts of opponents.
00:18:47.400 Censor the Internet.
00:18:48.260 Ban air and rail travel for the unvaccinated.
00:18:50.380 Put 99% of journalists on the government payroll.
00:18:54.220 Install obedient crony as head of RCMP.
00:18:59.900 Disarm the public.
00:19:02.620 He really is his hero, like his hero, Fidel Castro, isn't he?
00:19:06.540 I mean, look, what are two of these?
00:19:08.320 And that's just bad public policy.
00:19:10.000 But you look at it all.
00:19:11.140 Now, there's a theme to this.
00:19:15.600 None of this is what Canadians are wanting or asking for.
00:19:18.780 None of this shows up even in opinion polls, even by liberal pollsters.
00:19:24.260 Canadians are worried about inflation, about the price of gas, about the price of homes in the big cities, about crime, about the economy.
00:19:30.520 Millions of us are still second-class citizens.
00:19:33.120 Our civil liberties flattened because we're unvaccinated.
00:19:35.140 Unvaccinated.
00:19:35.860 And this, these are the things Trudeau focuses on.
00:19:40.960 He's not governing in our own interests.
00:19:43.880 He's governing in his own interests.
00:19:47.080 He's not our servant.
00:19:48.620 He seeks to be our master.
00:19:52.000 I really think Canada is becoming less free.
00:19:55.760 Trudeau really meant it when he said he admires China, not for its culture or language or history, but for its violent dictatorship.
00:20:03.800 The level of admiration I actually have for China, because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime and say,
00:20:18.620 we need to go green as fast as we need to start, you know, investing in solar.
00:20:22.700 Yeah, he really is like Castro, isn't he?
00:20:26.180 Stay with us for more.
00:20:33.800 And we're going to completely, by before, we're going to start the process where every vehicle in the United States military, every vehicle is going to be climate friendly.
00:20:51.100 Every vehicle.
00:20:51.880 We're going to have a, no, I mean it.
00:20:54.020 We're spending billions of dollars to do it.
00:20:57.420 And, uh, and it's going to matter.
00:20:59.320 Did you hear that?
00:21:01.400 Well, that'll terrify him in Beijing and Moscow.
00:21:05.320 Imagine thinking that the purpose of the military was anything other than the destruction of rival militaries and the projection of force.
00:21:14.700 The United States is the most powerful military in the world, but could they actually win a battle with the People's Liberation Army?
00:21:22.820 I'm not so sure it would go as well as it might have even five years ago.
00:21:27.600 Imagine announcing that you're going to have electric vehicles and that's just, but it wasn't just a gaffe.
00:21:33.780 I mean, Joe Biden says goofy things and who knows if he even means them.
00:21:37.160 Half the time his own staff walks him back.
00:21:39.540 But this, our news today, is the Secretary of the Navy, Carlos del Toro, published a climate action plan called Climate Action 2030.
00:21:51.260 It is a 32-page report.
00:21:54.080 That's not a gaffe.
00:21:56.160 That's not an accident or a hiccup.
00:21:58.500 That is a thoughtful decision saying that global warming is an existential threat to the United States.
00:22:06.400 I don't believe that, but even if it was, what on earth does that have to do with the Navy and its job of sinking other boats?
00:22:15.860 Joining us now from the Washington, D.C. area is our friend Mark Morano in a lovely chapeau.
00:22:22.760 Mark, great to see you again.
00:22:24.740 You know, there's photographs of hurricanes and floods and electric vehicles here.
00:22:29.320 You know, topics of the report include climate-informed decision-making, integrating climate in the budget process, electrification of ground vehicles, and hybrid propulsion for Navy ships.
00:22:46.400 I think they've lost the plot here, Mark.
00:22:51.080 This is just tragic, sad, horrendous if you actually care about national security threats.
00:22:57.960 Beginning in about 1990, there's actually a chart in the 32-page report from the Navy Department.
00:23:02.560 It shows the Navy started paying what you'd call lip service or, you know, value, whatever it's called, lip service to the climate agenda.
00:23:15.580 They started talking about, you know, sustainable fleets and electric, a couple things electric.
00:23:19.840 But under Joe Biden, it has now become, as the report states, the focal point of the Secretary of Navy's, Secretary del Toro's entire purpose in his tenure as secretary.
00:23:33.600 It is incredible.
00:23:34.980 And you go through, you look at some of what the undersecretary has said in this report.
00:23:39.920 You know, they're going on and they're talking about to remain the world's dominant force, we must adapt to climate change and reduce the threat.
00:23:47.420 Their mission is fighting climate change.
00:23:49.460 It's no longer going after rogue regimes, bad guys, defending the shores of the United States, whatever in our national interest.
00:23:56.100 It's actually fighting this nebulous concept of climate change.
00:24:00.160 I don't know how to say it.
00:24:01.360 It's an incredible same day a report came out.
00:24:03.660 We have, by the way, the lowest hurricanes ever recorded in all the database in the last year.
00:24:08.320 And this is also just at a time when we were facing the Russian invasion of Ukraine and all of our military threats there.
00:24:16.300 But somehow we're pivoting back to climate change.
00:24:19.060 And the State Department goes along with this.
00:24:21.020 The Army goes along with this.
00:24:22.380 They have their own reports on climate.
00:24:24.540 But the Navy may get the award for the most all-in on climate, making it the focal point of the focus of their whole department.
00:24:31.900 Yeah.
00:24:32.100 You know, I think that electric cars are a curiosity.
00:24:36.480 They're a luxury for people who want a virtue signal.
00:24:39.600 I'm fascinated by Elon Musk.
00:24:41.920 And I try and cheer for the guy, especially his anti-woke comments lately.
00:24:47.820 But regular people don't buy Teslas, not just because they're expensive, but because they don't really work that well.
00:24:54.300 You have to charge them all the time.
00:24:56.140 They would never work in the frozen Canadian North, for example.
00:24:58.920 It's still a rather experimental technology.
00:25:01.340 And I'm not as against it as I think I once was.
00:25:04.420 But the idea that turning the Navy into an electric Navy is a goal in itself, that that is what – and that you're fighting not other navies, but you're fighting climate change, as if you could just launch a missile at climate change and stop it.
00:25:23.760 This really feels like a bad term paper at a woke Ivy League college.
00:25:31.700 This does not seem like it's a serious document designed to win wars.
00:25:37.680 Yeah, and it's exactly what's happening not just in our Navy and in our Army and Pentagon, but also in corporate America and sporting – why does the NBA have to comment on a police shooting?
00:25:49.260 Why does Disney have to comment on trans issues?
00:25:53.280 It's because they have now taken it upon themselves to push a progressive agenda.
00:25:59.000 But it's almost funny when you're dealing with a company doing it, but it's scary when you look at a United States arm of our military literally going all in and saying it's the existential threat, it's the focal point of our mission.
00:26:12.640 And again, it's going to have real consequences.
00:26:15.080 They're talking about electric vehicles, electric battleships, and all other sorts of amphibious assault ships.
00:26:22.020 And the question is, is this really doable, or are they just talking about one or two that they can have for PR photo ops?
00:26:28.900 Well, I think that's more likely, but it's going to be a big diversion of time, energy, manpower, strategy, because as they're focusing on all climate and virtue signaling, they're not actually looking at real threats out there.
00:26:41.780 And that's what's so unbelievable.
00:26:43.540 I mean, all of these people should be disqualified immediately by calling climate change a greatest existential threat, and we're going to make it our focal point.
00:26:51.060 And the opposite, Ezra, when you look at the actual data, Center for Strategic International Studies, cooler periods have brought the most conflict, the most wars.
00:27:00.160 That is the part you worry about if you're going through.
00:27:02.480 When we have warm times like the medieval climate optimum, warm times like today, they're called optimums because that's when you have huge agricultural output, peace, plenty.
00:27:12.440 When you have cold times, you have scarcity, droughts, famines, which lead to conflict and war.
00:27:17.880 So the Navy, our military, has it ass backwards.
00:27:21.440 Sorry to use such a crass term, but they have it completely reversed.
00:27:25.320 Cooler times is when you'd worry about a military threat from any climate, not the warm times.
00:27:30.480 But even then, the climate is the background to your job in the Navy, shoot other boats, shoot down planes, be an aircraft carrier, whatever.
00:27:40.000 Like, I disagree with the Navy that global warming is an existential threat.
00:27:46.280 I think the globe has warmed and cooled over the millennium.
00:27:49.140 As you point out, the warmer times have been better times in the history of mankind.
00:27:53.300 As our friend Patrick Moore points out, look at the warmer parts of the world, like the equator teems with life.
00:28:01.580 The biggest cities in the world are near the equator.
00:28:04.420 The more you go to the poles, the colder it is, the less there is different species and the smaller the cities.
00:28:09.800 You don't have 20 million person cities in the Arctic because life is difficult when it's cold.
00:28:16.180 People like warmth.
00:28:16.900 They migrate to warmth.
00:28:17.820 But let me say this, even if they were right, which they are not, even if global warming were an existential threat, what's that got to do with the Navy?
00:28:26.400 That might have something to do with, I don't know, the left has a bunch of pretend solutions from carbon taxes to solar panels, whatever, that purport to be solutions to a problem that I'm skeptical exists.
00:28:39.240 But even if it did exist, what does that have to do with your ability to torpedo another ship to float an aircraft carrier for the Navy to say that's their mission?
00:28:51.820 It's got nothing to do with their mission.
00:28:53.860 I think that it's a kind of sabotage.
00:28:56.740 It reminds me of when the, I forget the name of the general, was talking about how he's studying critical race theory and he's studying the January, yeah, the January 6th insurrection.
00:29:10.960 I want to understand that.
00:29:12.400 Like it's, I don't know if it's for PR.
00:29:15.540 I don't know if it's undermining.
00:29:17.140 I mean, the left wing hates the military.
00:29:19.480 So maybe if they can't stop it, they can undermine it from within.
00:29:23.600 I don't know.
00:29:24.060 I think you're absolutely, that was General Milley referring to.
00:29:26.800 Yeah, General Milley, thank you.
00:29:28.500 And this, I think you're exactly right.
00:29:30.380 They hate the military and the only way they can make it, you know, somewhat acceptable to them is to remake it in their own image.
00:29:37.360 And that's where you mentioned the critical race theory, whether it's trans issues, whether it's now the climate issue.
00:29:43.860 You're exactly right.
00:29:44.960 From a cost benefit analysis, from an actual mission, just look at a Navy mission, even if we face an existential threat from climate change, nothing the Navy is doing or proposing amounts to anything more than virtue signaling for PR efforts.
00:30:01.020 So the idea that they would somehow be fighting climate change, mitigating it on some level is laughable, unscientific nonsense.
00:30:09.120 But yet they do it because they have in their world, and what I mean their world is academia, the media, government, bureaucracy.
00:30:16.360 This stuff matters.
00:30:18.280 If you want a career, this is what you promote.
00:30:20.540 There are all these Navy secretaries, undersecretaries, they're all outdoing themselves for the most outrageous, outlandish and stupid quote about this climate report right now.
00:30:29.920 If you take a look at Climate Depot, I have all the different quotes from the Navy press release.
00:30:33.420 This is just, you know, this is where we are right now in America.
00:30:38.020 You know, this is our threat.
00:30:39.020 You can't, you can't look at, there's also a diversion from inflation, debt, high energy prices, supply chain, lack of meat, gas prices, the whole range of issues facing America.
00:30:50.860 They'd love to come out and talk about such nonsense like this at, you know, nonstop to get everyone's minds and thoughts off of the real issues we're facing.
00:31:00.120 Yeah. You know, until a few years ago, one of the most masculine institutions in America was the NFL, the football league.
00:31:06.860 And then that was undermined with woke critical race theory, Colin Kaepernick, NASCAR, same thing.
00:31:13.620 The police, same thing.
00:31:15.840 It's, if you can't destroy these institutions or defund the police, for example, maybe you can undermine them within.
00:31:22.820 The military, I think, is their latest and biggest target.
00:31:26.500 I mean, the demand that every serving military personnel be vaccinated, whether or not they've recovered and have natural immunity and they're being drummed out.
00:31:38.660 I think that's a way to attack the military, to take out any individual thinkers.
00:31:44.560 This is just the latest.
00:31:46.700 I don't know.
00:31:47.260 It really feels like if I was a leftist trying to destroy the military, I don't think I would approach it head on because people would be wise to it.
00:31:55.780 But if I just infiltrated the same way all these other institutions were infiltrated, mission accomplished.
00:32:01.520 It's exactly right.
00:32:02.660 You go back 30 years, Ezra.
00:32:04.020 What did the left progressives say?
00:32:05.720 They railed on big business as the corporate raiders, as the destruction of the little man, Wall Street, the whole Wall Street project.
00:32:14.220 And what happens now?
00:32:16.020 Silent.
00:32:16.700 Now there's not only silence.
00:32:17.940 They're promoting big business to the point where they support policies like lockdowns, which boost corporate America and big tech and retail chains,
00:32:27.880 but crush the small business because they know now that every corporate board in America cowers and bows down to the woke CRT trans climate agenda.
00:32:39.240 And that is what's happening now, expanding, as you're absolutely right, into the military.
00:32:43.640 They know you can't defeat an institution.
00:32:45.960 You need to take it over.
00:32:47.320 They are masters at it.
00:32:48.920 And I have to leave you with the words, I think it was Vivek Ramaswamy who did the book Woke Inc.
00:32:54.260 And he explains, for 40 years after Ronald Reagan, we were on guard from threats at the front door to fight against freedom, democracy, capitalism.
00:33:02.820 But we didn't realize the real threat came in from the back door.
00:33:05.940 And it was the merging of the sort of corporate government and ideology, which we're seeing here, of course, backed by China.
00:33:12.520 And now it's extending into our military.
00:33:14.460 So this has happened.
00:33:15.960 Most people have no clue how it happened.
00:33:18.660 But it's actually ingenious of how this happens, how they infiltrate the institutions, take over the boards.
00:33:24.000 We're watching it happen even with groups like Exxon now, where their board is being infiltrated by climate activists,
00:33:29.520 where soon you're going to have companies directly voting and have leadership against their own interests to survive,
00:33:36.020 because that's not what matters anymore.
00:33:38.020 It's the woke progressive agenda is all that matters, not a profit.
00:33:41.880 Yeah, I want a quick flashback.
00:33:44.020 This was a senior intelligence official in the Obama administration, was asked by Charlie Rose why they didn't take out the ISIS oil truck caravans.
00:33:58.160 I mean, it's a few years ago now.
00:33:59.660 You might recall that ISIS, the Islamic State, they got a lot of their funding from the oil.
00:34:04.480 And they would ship it out in these caravans of tanker trucks.
00:34:08.380 And in the end, I think it was the Russians that blew them up.
00:34:11.460 But here's a senior Obama official saying they did not take out these oil caravans.
00:34:17.660 I swear to God, because doing so would increase the carbon footprint.
00:34:23.900 Take a look at this.
00:34:24.980 Attack the funding that they have.
00:34:26.760 Attack the ability to sell the oil.
00:34:29.360 We've seen attacks on that oil transfer taking place now after Paris that didn't take place before Paris,
00:34:36.580 which is your original question.
00:34:37.920 Right.
00:34:38.440 Which it would be doing now.
00:34:39.800 So this is one of the collateral damage questions, right?
00:34:44.640 So prior to Paris, there seemed to be a judgment, right?
00:34:48.420 I don't sit in the sitting room anymore.
00:34:49.860 But there seems to have been a judgment that, look, we don't want to destroy these oil tankers
00:34:57.500 because that's infrastructure that's going to be necessary to support the people when ISIS isn't there anymore.
00:35:06.360 And it's going to create environmental damage.
00:35:09.200 And we didn't go after oil wells, actually hitting oil wells that ISIS controls because we didn't want to do environmental damage
00:35:15.240 and we didn't want to destroy that infrastructure, right?
00:35:17.180 So we hit oil on trucks.
00:35:19.100 So now we're hitting oil on trucks, right?
00:35:21.380 And maybe you get to the point where you say we have to also hit oil wells.
00:35:25.840 So those are the kind of tough decisions you have to make.
00:35:28.040 Mark, they literally made a tactical decision that they weren't going to hurt the bad guys
00:35:34.640 because hurting the bad guys would involve fire and burning of carbon.
00:35:39.560 It would also involve burning of the carbon of the bad guys' bodies.
00:35:43.200 War is quite fiery.
00:35:45.080 War is quite deadly.
00:35:46.060 They literally were going to spare this financial lifeline to ISIS because they were worried of some puffs of smoke and CO2.
00:35:53.720 That was a real military decision made by Obama.
00:35:56.780 I actually think maybe they mean it.
00:35:59.020 Sir, we have the Leon Yang Chinese aircraft carrier in our sights.
00:36:05.000 Should we fire?
00:36:06.020 No, don't do that.
00:36:08.140 An explosion of that aircraft carrier would be too carbon intensive.
00:36:12.700 Hold your fire.
00:36:13.920 Imagine if we had the carbon footprint analysis of the D-Day invasion and what if they reversed that
00:36:20.520 because it was the same time as the baby sea turtles were laying eggs and we had to hold off.
00:36:25.340 I mean, if you start going down that road of environmental and climate impact on every military decision,
00:36:31.300 especially in a time of war, you could rewrite history in terms of conquerors and victors and losers.
00:36:37.620 Well, you can't say ready, aim, fire anymore because fire is combustion and emits CO2.
00:36:44.440 Mark, great to catch up with you.
00:36:45.880 Folks, for all these fascinating and almost too crazy to believe stories, you've got to go to ClimateDepot.com.
00:36:53.320 That's Mark's site.
00:36:53.940 Nice to see you again, my friend.
00:36:55.440 Thank you, Ezra.
00:36:56.060 I appreciate it.
00:36:56.640 All right.
00:36:57.000 There you have it.
00:36:57.480 Mark Morano from ClimateDepot.com.
00:37:00.040 Stay with us.
00:37:00.480 Hey, welcome back.
00:37:13.340 JC says, makes you wonder what further measures they want to implement that they foresee prompting this response.
00:37:21.900 You're talking about the emergency drill at the airport.
00:37:26.280 Yeah, it's a good point.
00:37:27.320 You'd think that things would be wrapping up, but they're obviously planning for, like, I could picture this a year ago, but they're doing it now.
00:37:35.260 That tells me bad things are coming.
00:37:36.920 Or maybe that they just want to criminalize and demonize and denormalize the unvaccinated, making them tantamount to criminals.
00:37:45.460 Maybe it's just a PR exercise.
00:37:47.200 I don't know, but I have low hopes.
00:37:48.660 Cheryl L. says, not surprised at all that the government is so threatened by the element of surprise that the protesters were so successful at Trudeau control, can't control those kind of protests.
00:38:05.640 I don't know.
00:38:06.560 I mean, I was there for a few days in Ottawa at the height of the trucker protests.
00:38:13.300 Let me say a few things.
00:38:14.240 As you know, it was completely peaceful.
00:38:16.520 No one was charged with any violence.
00:38:18.280 The allegation of violence turned out to be a hoax.
00:38:21.060 It was someone completely unrelated to the truckers.
00:38:23.460 There were no weapons found in any of the trucks in Ottawa.
00:38:25.760 That was a lie by the Globe and Mail or Toronto Star.
00:38:27.840 I can't remember which.
00:38:30.300 The emergency act was trumped up by Trudeau.
00:38:32.940 No police force asked for it.
00:38:34.840 It was all BS.
00:38:35.400 But it wasn't much of an occupation.
00:38:38.900 It was a few streets downtown.
00:38:41.780 And after a couple of days, there was a clear lane in all of them.
00:38:45.440 Even when I was there, even when I was arriving the Friday night that it really began, most of the streets in downtown Ottawa were closed by police.
00:38:57.640 I remember because I didn't have any food.
00:39:00.020 I was in the hotel.
00:39:00.780 I had to order some delivery.
00:39:02.860 And the guy couldn't get there because of police, not because of truckers.
00:39:06.640 The truckers shut down a few roads, but the police shut down most of it.
00:39:10.420 So I think they've tried to build up this occupation, this illegal and unlawful occupation.
00:39:17.720 It wasn't really an occupation.
00:39:19.580 It was some traffic violations.
00:39:21.720 There was no crimes committed.
00:39:23.260 The worst thing they charged someone with was incitement to mischief.
00:39:27.200 But I don't think there was any mischief charges themselves.
00:39:29.660 The whole thing is a hoaxy narrative.
00:39:33.040 And Ottawa is perfect for that because you have a lot of whiners in the government by nature.
00:39:38.960 But it's pretty much a lie.
00:39:41.240 They're trying to use that to justify criminal steps, police, spying, even military steps against peaceful opposition.
00:39:50.320 Law Z5 says, with all this mock training about protesters, it is because the government is getting ready to make air travel even more difficult than it already is.
00:40:01.620 Get ready, vaccinated people.
00:40:03.080 I am guessing whatever is coming is going to affect you as well.
00:40:06.520 Just a prediction.
00:40:07.400 But we will see by winter when they try to lock down again.
00:40:10.520 Well, that's the thing.
00:40:11.880 Maybe they're getting ready for you need a third shot to be vaxxed.
00:40:16.100 Because in Canada, the vaccine rules don't make any sense.
00:40:19.200 I mean, if you're unvaccinated, if you're such a medical risk, why are you allowed to go on a bus for hours and hours?
00:40:26.540 It's not as well ventilated as even a plane.
00:40:28.240 It doesn't make sense.
00:40:30.620 You don't have to get tested to get on a Canadian plane.
00:40:33.040 So you may actually be carrying the virus.
00:40:35.160 We all know that the vaccine doesn't stop you from catching or transmitting the virus.
00:40:39.140 You may have had the vaccine now more than a year ago.
00:40:44.600 So its vaccine efficacy has certainly died down.
00:40:48.380 Most of the cases of people getting sick now in Canada are people that are vaccinated.
00:40:53.320 So maybe this was practiced to make a third jab mandatory.
00:40:59.000 Maybe they're waiting until flu season to do it.
00:41:01.640 Possibility.
00:41:02.380 We'll find out.
00:41:04.180 That's our show for today.
00:41:05.500 Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night.
00:41:11.480 And keep fighting for freedom.
00:41:12.440 And let me leave you with our video of the day.
00:41:15.100 Jeremy Lafredo, our New York talent, went to the World Economic Forum and asked delegates if the theme is rebuilding trust.
00:41:25.600 What did they do to lose the trust?
00:41:27.940 Some interesting answers here.
00:41:29.400 We'll see you tomorrow.
00:41:29.960 Jeremy Lafredo for Rebel News on the third day of the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland.
00:41:36.240 This week, the entire resort town of Davos has been entirely transformed into a 3D advertisement for some of the world's most nefarious corporations.
00:41:43.580 Many of the corporations here progress-washing themselves played an integral role in the massive failure, which is the global response to COVID-19.
00:41:49.860 Facebook, or Meta, is here taking up an entire block with a museum-like interactive display of their plan for the metaverse.
00:41:57.380 The big tech giant partnered with pharma-funded think tanks and fact-checkers to silence and censor all criticism of government COVID policies, which are now generally accepted as harmful or even deadly.
00:42:06.760 Palantir, a controversial data mining firm, also has a giant exhibit here in Davos.
00:42:10.980 Palantir has partnered with intelligence agencies all over the world, including America's CIA and NSA, which often accomplish their political and surveillance goals via extrajudicial means.
00:42:18.920 The firm has garnered criticism for their predictive policing programs that aim to, quote, stop criminals before they commit crimes using advanced AI technology.
00:42:26.960 The same technology is now being used to, quote, stop COVID outbreaks before they happen through a partnership with the CDC.
00:42:33.480 IBM, a tech behemoth that aided Nazi Germany, is not new to controversy.
00:42:37.380 IBM has recently designed the COVID vaccine passports in New York City, which is creating what some critics call a two-tiered society.
00:42:43.380 Accenture, a Fortune 500 information technology company, is a founding partner of the Gates Foundation's ID2020 project, which officially aimed to leverage COVID vaccination campaigns to achieve sprawling biometric digital identity systems.
00:42:55.560 They're also a strategic partner of the World Economic Forum's platform for a good digital identity.
00:43:00.040 The examples go on and on.
00:43:01.500 The theme for this year's Davos meeting is working together to regain trust.
00:43:04.680 The meaning here seems obvious.
00:43:06.720 Do the elites understand that by locking everyone down, by taking everyone's jobs, and by mandating a dubious medical intervention, they lost people's trust?
00:43:13.640 Let's also be clear.
00:43:17.380 The future is not just happening.
00:43:20.000 The future is built by us, by a powerful community as you here in this room.
00:43:27.680 We have the means to improve the states of the world.
00:43:33.040 But two conditions are necessary.
00:43:35.520 The first one is that we act all as stakeholders of larger communities, that we serve not our only self-interests, but we serve the community.
00:43:51.560 That's what we call stakeholder responsibility.
00:43:55.420 And second, that we collaborate.
00:43:57.760 I ask people here in Davos about this theme and why they believe trust has been lost.
00:44:01.180 The answers point to an ignorance and, in some cases, a downright refusal to acknowledge their failure, despite the loss of trust being front and center in the very theme of this year's gathering.
00:44:10.180 And why do you think trust was lost in the first place?
00:44:13.600 Was it lost?
00:44:14.560 That's what the World Economic Forum titled this year's Davos meeting, working together to regain trust.
00:44:19.220 So, obviously, they think that trust was lost somehow.
00:44:21.960 Do you think that the citizens should trust the people here down there in that building at the World Economic Forum meeting?
00:44:27.600 I think so, yeah.
00:44:28.580 If we deliver the right message, yes.
00:44:30.460 So, it's all about messaging.
00:44:32.120 So, you think that the citizens should trust the World Economic Forum?
00:44:34.880 I think so, yes.
00:44:36.320 There you have it.
00:44:36.900 That's from the Gulf International Bank.
00:44:39.160 Trust is not lost.
00:44:40.240 You're at an event where the leaders called the event, working together to regain trust.
00:44:45.080 But you're saying that trust was not lost.
00:44:47.240 Trust is never lost.
00:44:49.120 I don't know that trust was lost.
00:44:50.960 Then why would you call it regain trust if it was never lost?
00:44:54.080 I didn't call it anything.
00:44:55.660 That's what Davos is calling it.
00:44:56.700 Thank you.
00:44:57.060 Why do you think the trust was lost?
00:44:59.460 I'm sorry.
00:45:00.160 I'm running for a meeting.
00:45:00.920 I have to apologize.
00:45:01.680 You're on my way to a meeting.
00:45:02.500 You're on your way to a meeting.
00:45:03.720 Okay.
00:45:04.000 So, do you think that the global population should trust the people here who are at the
00:45:09.320 World Economic Forum?
00:45:10.200 Sometimes it's difficult for them to do so because they feel so far removed from the decision
00:45:15.180 makers, the people, the people who sort of move the world.
00:45:19.300 Let me go back a little bit.
00:45:21.000 The people in the community move the world.
00:45:23.160 And there's a perception that...
00:45:24.260 People, I mean, Klaus Schwab did say a couple days ago that it was these people, you, that
00:45:29.340 move the world.
00:45:29.980 Ooh.
00:45:30.900 Everyone moves the world.
00:45:32.360 We should...
00:45:32.660 So, you disagree with that statement, with Klaus' statement?
00:45:34.920 I don't want to disagree with Klaus.
00:45:36.180 Even though that they're saying working together to regain trust, you're saying that trust was
00:45:40.380 not lost.
00:45:41.880 Yeah.
00:45:42.180 Well, all the fuss caused by social media is, of course, one thing, I guess.
00:45:47.900 I wouldn't blame social media for it.
00:45:50.140 It's how people use it.
00:45:51.740 But, of course, there could be a way to avoid the bad causes.
00:45:58.660 Trust is a very, very hard thing to earn and probably the easiest thing to lose.
00:46:05.080 So, before you ask people to trust, you need to prove your worth and you need to prove your
00:46:11.880 value.
00:46:12.940 So, before that, we need something concrete coming out of Davos, something that will convince
00:46:19.500 people.
00:46:20.240 And that remains to be seen.
00:46:35.080 Thank you.
