It's the first day of spring, the United Nations still wants to control your life,
00:01:37.160
and Donald Trump has a climate panel that's making everybody crazy.
00:01:43.280
I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed, and you're watching The Gunn Show.
00:01:58.420
The election was just called here in beautiful Alberta,
00:02:06.860
and we have the opportunity to shake the yoke of our socialist New Democrat oppressors off our back.
00:02:12.920
But while that's exciting for us, the world outside of Alberta is still turning,
00:02:17.800
and a lot of what's happening outside our borders will also drastically affect us and what happens here.
00:02:24.580
For example, did you know a United Nations Environment Conference just wrapped up in Nairobi, Kenya?
00:02:31.800
And the language coming out of that conference was about as control-freaky as it gets.
00:02:38.620
The conference itself used the language New World Order to transform the way we live.
00:02:45.880
Now, you probably didn't hear about this conference in the mainstream media,
00:02:49.220
but if you followed the New American Magazine, you knew all about this conference,
00:02:55.400
and you knew about how it is part and parcel of the United Nations socialist agenda
00:03:01.660
to control the way we live, to control everything we do.
00:03:05.780
Now, my guest tonight is Alex Newman, author and star columnist for the New American Magazine.
00:03:11.280
He joins me in an interview we recorded Tuesday afternoon,
00:03:15.280
and we are talking about that United Nations conference,
00:03:19.060
Donald Trump's incredible new climate panel that is making all the right people really angry at him,
00:03:26.080
and a whole host of other things happening around the world and south of the border.
00:03:45.280
So joining me now from the New American is Alex Newman.
00:03:53.340
And Alex has a ton of really great stories that I hope he can illuminate us with a little bit more information.
00:04:01.340
But one of the first stories that Alex had that I really wanted to touch base on
00:04:06.300
was the fourth United Nations Environment Assembly in Nairobi.
00:04:11.060
And I thought, you know, how fitting it's kismet,
00:04:14.980
because Alex and I met at a United Nations climate change conference.
00:04:22.480
But we talk about these big conferences, the big annual conferences,
00:04:26.980
but we forget about all these little conferences of elites,
00:04:31.760
these cloistered little conferences where a lot of big things are happening.
00:04:42.480
First of all, it's a pleasure to be with you again.
00:04:44.300
And yes, the United Nations, it's unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to go to this conference.
00:04:50.760
It took place in Nairobi, Kenya just last week, actually, early to mid-March.
00:04:58.120
I literally didn't see a single word about it in the American media, not one word.
00:05:02.740
But they came up with some really drastic agreements and declarations and resolutions.
00:05:08.680
And they're using language now that, you know, if we had used this language a couple of years ago to say this is what they're doing,
00:05:15.080
the establishment media would have said, oh, you guys are conspiracy theorists.
00:05:20.660
And here, if you actually read the things that they're saying, they're calling for, quote, a new world order.
00:05:26.900
This is the head of the UN Environment Agency calling for what she described as a new world order.
00:05:32.460
And then you had another one of these senior bureaucrats.
00:05:36.380
You had Emmanuel Macron, the unpopular, politically toxic president of France, was there.
00:05:40.920
They said they're building this new world order to transform the way we live.
00:05:44.840
And so under the guise of saving us from humans, under the guise of saving us from allegedly man-made global warming,
00:05:51.220
they want to completely restructure our lives, completely restructure our civilizations,
00:05:55.760
take a bunch of our money and restrict our freedoms in unprecedented ways.
00:06:01.620
And what's even more dangerous is that nobody in America even knows this is happening, Sheila.
00:06:06.340
I mean, I was last week on my show, I had somebody who was at another United Nations conference.
00:06:11.500
This time it was the Commission on the Status of Women.
00:06:14.100
And she was one of the few pro-lifers inside the conference.
00:06:18.640
I don't know how they allowed her to be inside there.
00:06:21.420
And when I was talking to her, much the same sort of rhetoric was coming out of the meetings,
00:06:33.920
And for me, it just seemed so counterintuitive to their self-proclaimed goals.
00:06:38.760
If you want women's advancement, if you want children to be better off, well, the best place
00:06:45.220
for women and children is in the patriarchy, whether the feminists like it or not, it is
00:06:50.800
the safest place for women and it is the best place where children thrive.
00:06:54.960
But you see this rhetoric from the United Nations where you have to break down the family,
00:07:01.260
you have to break down capitalism and you have to put the United Nations or a global government
00:07:08.680
And specifically with that Commission on the Status of Women, I mean, it basically wanted
00:07:13.180
women to have the government as their sugar daddy, I guess, and sell it to them as women's
00:07:22.020
It really is the theater of the absurd, Sheila, because on the one hand, you have exactly
00:07:28.020
You have a bunch of radical ideologues, feminists, haters of the family, haters of all things,
00:07:33.580
patriarchy, you know, can't have nuclear family because that's oppressive to women.
00:07:37.420
And oh my goodness, they might have to cook a meal sometimes, heaven forbid.
00:07:43.440
And then on the other hand, you have the United Nations appointing delegates from, for example,
00:07:47.280
the Iranian regime or the Saudi Arabian regime to these commissions on the status of women
00:07:57.140
It seems like everyone is welcome under this UN globalist tent, whether they be, you know,
00:08:02.780
Islamist fundamentalists who think women are property and should be beaten if they don't
00:08:06.920
obey their husbands and things like that, or whether it's these women who want to completely
00:08:11.220
destroy the family and have the government take care of children.
00:08:14.100
What's not welcome is the traditional Christian Western civilization perspective, where you
00:08:21.060
have, you know, a nuclear family with a mom and a dad and children transmitting the values
00:08:26.340
That's the only alternative that it seems is not welcome under the UN's vision.
00:08:30.820
So you have a very dangerous situation right now where they are literally undermining the
00:08:35.520
family, undermining marriage, undermining free markets, undermining nation states, all of these
00:08:40.640
things that are kind of the building blocks of civilization.
00:08:44.620
I mean, these are the exact same things that Karl Marx targeted, if you think about it.
00:08:47.940
You know, he wanted to abolish private property.
00:08:50.100
He wanted all the children to be raised by government and government schools.
00:08:53.260
He thought women ought to be kind of seen communally, right?
00:08:56.460
The communal wives where everybody gets to, you know, do things.
00:08:59.920
And so this is the same kind of ideology that the UN is pushing.
00:09:03.760
And it has now infested Western governments, the United Nations, all these different UN agencies.
00:09:10.920
And I think it goes hand in glove with the whole climate and environmental thing.
00:09:15.500
What you have here is a concerted effort to break down freedom, break down traditional
00:09:20.440
values, traditional morality, and replace it with this new UN vision, which is extremely
00:09:25.600
dangerous if you love liberty and you love your country.
00:09:28.380
Yeah, and there's a lot of, I hate to use the word because it's just so overused by the
00:09:37.680
When you look at these women's conferences, there's always, you know, talk about how climate
00:09:42.360
change affects women first, as though, you know, my husband and I are walking down the
00:09:47.680
street and there's a dark cloud over me and the sun's just blazing on him.
00:09:52.060
It's so strange how these two issues get intertangled.
00:09:57.800
It is about using these issues to strip away freedom as we know it.
00:10:04.180
Now, as a Canadian, I have a great interest in Donald Trump and his climate change policies
00:10:09.340
because, really, every time Trump does something to repeal a regulation or to reject a carbon
00:10:17.900
tax, it makes Canada less competitive because our progressive governments here have embraced
00:10:23.840
And the new American has a really great story about how Trump has this new climate panel,
00:10:39.200
So the president has put on his National Security Council a gentleman by the name of Dr. William
00:10:47.060
He was a professor of physics at the Princeton University, which is one of America's most
00:10:54.040
He and I both spoke at a climate conference a few years ago, shortly right after Donald Trump
00:11:00.700
I spoke on kind of the media aspects of it, and he is an amazing scientist.
00:11:06.220
You know, I tried to get him to say something political.
00:11:10.120
He's what you might call, you know, a science nut, just loves the science.
00:11:13.540
And he knows that the man-made global warming hypothesis is ridiculous.
00:11:19.140
I mean, he explained very clearly that the Earth needs much more CO2.
00:11:22.840
We're in a desperate situation right now where plants don't have the amount of atmospheric
00:11:28.860
He says more CO2 will be incredibly beneficial to the planet.
00:11:32.160
It's not going to cause any kind of catastrophic global warming or anything like that.
00:11:35.960
And this is a guy that even his colleagues at Princeton who believe the man-made global
00:11:39.500
warming hypothesis can't find a single bad thing to say about him.
00:11:42.360
He's just a soft-spoken, kind, you know, getting up there in years gentleman.
00:11:47.860
So Trump has this idea to create the Presidential Commission on Climate Science or Climate Security.
00:11:54.800
And you would have thought that, you know, he had dropped a nuclear bomb on the left or
00:11:59.060
something because they are running around like cockroaches when the light turns on.
00:12:03.820
They're saying Trump is a Hitler because of this and he's a science denier and, you know,
00:12:11.120
And the reason I think they're so terrified is because they know that this commission,
00:12:15.680
which would be charged with investigating the so-called science underpinning these federal
00:12:19.560
reports, is going to uncover the fact that this is not science.
00:12:25.020
This is, you know, ridiculous extremism masquerading as science.
00:12:29.620
And it was all created to justify the policies that they wanted.
00:12:32.880
So they are terrified that these frauds are going to be exposed.
00:12:39.820
That's why you see the whole tax-funded climate lobby acting like chickens with their heads
00:12:44.360
They are terrified that the truth is going to come out.
00:12:47.000
So Trump is doing a really, really good thing here.
00:12:51.840
But just today and yesterday, really, really good news.
00:12:56.760
A coalition of more than 140 experts, organizations, activist leaders, environmentalists has signed
00:13:03.880
this incredibly important letter to the president urging him to go forward with his plan to not
00:13:09.000
be intimidated by these tactics of the far left and the tax-funded climate lobby.
00:13:13.400
And we've got to hope that he'll go through with that.
00:13:16.120
You know, that's why I'm such a fan of President Trump.
00:13:20.820
Some days I'm not convinced that he's a conservative.
00:13:24.360
But I don't really think that matters because he governs from an unashamed conservative viewpoint.
00:13:30.960
And I think that he is probably the only president ever who could take on such a powerful environmental
00:13:45.560
And being a Canadian conservative, it is just so refreshing to see just bold politics doing
00:13:53.660
the things that people want and not what the media wants and not what the lobby wants, because
00:13:59.860
The media reports on the things that they want people to care about, but generally it's
00:14:06.180
So that's why I love how unashamed President Trump is to do these sorts of things.
00:14:11.160
Now, I know that education is your beat at the New American, and you do a phenomenal job
00:14:22.020
And there's some overlays to the Canadian experience here.
00:14:26.640
You have a story about how Latinos in California are calling the California Education Department
00:14:34.220
racist for some of the LGBTQ plus and some other letters policies that they have written.
00:14:43.960
And in Canada, that has been our experience, too, where our ethnic minorities, who are often
00:14:49.280
religious minorities, really are the allies of the Christian conservative right when it comes
00:14:57.600
to fighting this sort of gender theory encroachment in our schools.
00:15:05.120
And it's been totally missed by the establishment media.
00:15:08.760
You know, the government in California loves to pretend like they love immigrants.
00:15:12.880
You know, they've declared themselves a sanctuary state now where state and local law enforcement
00:15:17.160
is prohibited from cooperating with the federal government to deport criminal illegal aliens.
00:15:22.540
You know, and this has resulted in some murders.
00:15:24.520
Just recently, a police officer was murdered by a criminal illegal immigrant who was not
00:15:31.780
And so the California government loves to pretend like they love Hispanic immigrants.
00:15:36.160
The reality is, and I think this story illustrates this so perfectly, is that they only love them
00:15:40.280
when it comes time to vote for Democrats, when it comes time to actually including them in things
00:15:44.300
like the legally mandated parental involvement and review of what happens in the government
00:15:49.500
schools, suddenly not only do they not love them, they, in violation of the law, try to exclude them.
00:15:54.800
So California has recently adopted this California health education framework.
00:16:00.020
And, you know, even for progressives, this is extreme.
00:16:02.800
I mean, they recommend a book for, you know, four-year-olds that talks about gender is this unlimited
00:16:07.880
And, you know, they say that doctors guess the gender of babies by looking at their genitals,
00:16:12.640
but they can't really know because babies can't talk yet.
00:16:15.240
They start teaching kids about polyamory and polyfidelity, which I hadn't even heard of.
00:16:21.000
Apparently, it's when, you know, instead of a monogamous couple, you have like eight or
00:16:24.340
nine or 12 different people in a sexual relationship.
00:16:27.620
Really weird, weird stuff that they're trying to normalize.
00:16:30.380
And of course, you know, Latin America, because I grew up in Latin America, you know, that's not
00:16:35.020
These are primarily Catholics and pretty family conservative, family-oriented people.
00:16:41.580
They would not support this in a million years.
00:16:43.920
And so almost everything that the California Department of Education does, they do it in
00:16:47.880
English and in Spanish, because California has a very, very significant Hispanic minority
00:16:55.580
And so typically when they put stuff out, they put it out in English and Spanish.
00:16:58.800
Well, this new health education framework that not only did they not tell anybody about
00:17:04.320
So now you have all these minority communities across California who are discovering that
00:17:09.400
there are kindergarten children, that their first grade children are going to be taught
00:17:12.320
that they can be any gender that they want, that they should experiment with homosexuality,
00:17:23.500
You can see some of the commentary that they provided to me in Spanish, of course.
00:17:28.560
You know, if you don't read Spanish, you can run it through Google Translate.
00:17:32.900
And they're suggesting that the California Department of Education is racist and is
00:17:38.640
Now, whether the California Department of Education is racist or not, I can't say for
00:17:42.360
But I have to say this is very, very suspicious.
00:17:47.580
Yeah, it sounds a lot like the bigotry of low expectations, doesn't it?
00:17:51.900
It feels as though the Democrats in California think they own the votes of Latino families
00:17:59.980
when Latino families, like everybody else's family, are obligated to themselves and the
00:18:06.960
best interests of their own families over loyalty to the government.
00:18:11.760
It feels a little racist, but I wouldn't go so far as to call them racist.
00:18:22.600
You also have a really great video up at The New American where you talk about New York's
00:18:31.220
new abortion law, which is basically an absence of a law.
00:18:36.960
And you compare it to what's happening in China.
00:18:40.900
And again, there's a strong Canadian overlay here because in Canada, we don't have an abortion
00:18:47.160
We join some of the worst countries in the world with regard to the rights of the unborn,
00:18:53.880
you know, right in line with China and North Korea.
00:18:57.700
There's no prohibition on an abortion at any time in Canada as long as a woman can get a
00:19:06.260
And you did a really great comparison to just how far the Democrats in New York state have
00:19:16.500
It really is so sad and so tragic, Sheila, what's happening here.
00:19:20.720
And so I was at an off the record meeting of top conservative leaders a few weeks ago,
00:19:25.960
and I had the opportunity to talk with Reggie Littlejohn, who I interviewed for this video.
00:19:34.240
She's not even necessarily a conservative in the sense that, you know, I might be or others.
00:19:40.020
She's the president and the founder of Women's Rights Without Frontiers.
00:19:43.180
So she really is out there advocating for women's rights.
00:19:46.080
And one of her big areas of concern, actually what drew me to cover her work originally,
00:19:50.700
was when she was exposing the role of the United Nations and Planned Parenthood, which
00:19:54.700
is the largest abortion organization in America, receives about half a billion dollars in federal tax
00:19:59.560
money. She gave testimony in Congress about how the United Nations Population Fund and Planned
00:20:04.540
Parenthood, the abortion monster, were working in cooperation with the mass murdering dictatorship
00:20:10.420
enslaving the people of China in the perpetration of forced abortions to enforce their population
00:20:20.640
You know, I knew the communist Chinese regime did this.
00:20:23.000
I knew that they behaved in absolutely barbaric and savage ways.
00:20:25.960
But to see that my tax dollars were subsidizing forced abortions was horrifying.
00:20:30.100
So that's that's how I first came across Reggie Littlejohn.
00:20:37.460
And she was appalled that this law in New York, she actually held up the best practices that
00:20:44.020
they use in China for for killing unborn babies from mothers who have violated the population
00:20:50.140
And she said the the law that was approved in New York, where you can now murder a baby
00:20:54.680
as it's being born, right, could be nine months on its way out and the doctor can murder it
00:21:00.220
She said that is more barbaric than even what they do in communist China.
00:21:04.360
She held up the best practices in communist China and she said, you know, once the baby's
00:21:08.580
already on the way out, you know, once the mother is delivering the baby, you know, we
00:21:13.140
We have to let the mother take the baby home and, you know, maybe we'll find the parents
00:21:17.020
So even in China, the communist dictatorship won't murder the babies as they're coming
00:21:21.900
And yet in New York, this is now legal under state law.
00:21:28.080
You have other left wing states that are trying to pursue similar policies.
00:21:31.280
And I think it speaks volumes about the collapse of the moral values of at least certain areas
00:21:37.440
in the United States, New York state, certainly among them.
00:21:41.280
But on the flip side, I did see some polling that showed that now that the Democrats have
00:21:47.060
really revealed themselves to be the pro infanticide party, a lot of people are waking up to the
00:21:54.540
slippery slope of, you know, the abortion rights masquerading as women's rights debate, where
00:22:02.980
now more people are identifying as pro-life or at least holding some pro-life values that
00:22:11.680
the Democrats and that the left have revealed themselves to be the ghouls they really are.
00:22:19.380
You know, it's and this governor of Virginia who suggested that, you know, maybe even after
00:22:23.740
the baby's born, the mother can talk to the doctor about whether we should kill it.
00:22:26.820
And we've reported in the New American for years that this was coming.
00:22:29.680
You have, you know, self-styled ethicists who work at prominent universities saying, oh,
00:22:33.920
you should be able to kill the baby until he's like four.
00:22:37.420
Just, you know, murder him if you don't want him.
00:22:40.980
This is going back to like the savagery of the Vikings, you know, pre the arrival of Christianity.
00:22:45.460
This is absolutely horrifying and yet it's happening.
00:22:49.080
But among the American population, the views really are shifting.
00:22:52.580
If you look at the polling data, Americans are becoming much more pro-life.
00:22:55.920
The overwhelming majority of Americans want stronger and more voluminous restrictions on
00:23:02.020
the ability of women and doctors to execute babies before they're born.
00:23:08.040
Unfortunately, the leadership of the Democratic Party is going in the opposite direction to
00:23:12.000
the point where now some of them are openly endorsing actual infanticide, right, murdering
00:23:18.800
And this is a, you know, a very bizarre situation.
00:23:21.800
There's a good chance that the Supreme Court will revisit this question.
00:23:25.000
Of course, Congress has the power to overturn this anyway by removing the issue from the
00:23:30.360
I have a feeling that we will probably start moving in a more positive direction on abortion
00:23:35.520
in the years ahead as, you know, technology reveals, you know, this is really a baby that
00:23:43.120
But unfortunately, in the meantime, we're seeing a lot of barbarism and the mask really
00:23:46.880
dropping on the ideology of these people who want to kill babies.
00:23:50.720
You know, in Texas, they had a protest and you had these pro-abortion people, pro-planned
00:24:00.260
It's, you know, I think they thought they were being funny, but it's just ghoulish.
00:24:12.100
It harkens back to Old Testament days when, when there was child sacrifice.
00:24:18.700
And I think we've come a long way since then, but we are still sacrificing the innocent to
00:24:27.520
an evil that I don't think the left really understands quite what it is.
00:24:33.640
Um, now, uh, you were recently in Calgary, um, speaking at a conference, um, my friend
00:24:41.640
I unfortunately didn't make it down, but my colleague Kian Bexie was there for one day.
00:24:45.700
Why don't you give us a Coles Notes version of what you were in Calgary talking about and,
00:24:51.000
uh, maybe, uh, what the reception was like for you in Calgary?
00:24:54.160
Uh, well, thank you so much for the opportunity, Sheila.
00:25:02.640
I think that was literally the coldest I have ever experienced in my life.
00:25:06.220
And I lived in Sweden for a lot of years and we had some really cold days, but nothing like
00:25:19.180
Amazing people, uh, had the opportunity to, uh, interview, uh, Dr. Patrick Moore, the co-founder
00:25:24.120
of Greenpeace, who's now being smeared, uh, in all the media.
00:25:27.300
They're trying to, you know, disappear him on Google.
00:25:29.940
Uh, so what I spoke about was actually this right here.
00:25:32.460
I had just released that literally a few days before coming up there, a, a new special report
00:25:41.240
And so, uh, what I did was I kind of gave a breakdown of what's happening in the government
00:25:45.980
And I actually included a lot of what was happening in Alberta and the province of Alberta
00:25:49.400
and, uh, Canadian schools, uh, you know, to, to just put it very simply, um, our children
00:25:54.980
in public schools across the United States, across Canada, across Western Europe.
00:25:59.520
And now this is becoming a global phenomenon with UNESCO trying to hijack education around
00:26:03.840
They are being dumbed down deliberately, right?
00:26:06.520
They're, they're being taught with quack methodologies that we've known don't work since
00:26:11.860
That's why we have any literacy crisis in the United States.
00:26:14.020
Uh, they're being indoctrinated to believe in socialism, globalism, humanism, pantheism,
00:26:19.800
paganism, you know, pick your ism, as long as it's not, uh, you know, traditional Western
00:26:25.100
values, Christianity, conservatism, you know, constitutionalism here in the United States.
00:26:30.180
Um, and, and the point is if I don't know the numbers in Canada, but in America, something
00:26:34.920
like 85, 86% of American children are being educated.
00:26:40.700
And even if they're only moderately effective, even if they only get say two thirds of those
00:26:45.000
students sufficiently indoctrinated, uh, the numbers don't look good.
00:26:48.280
And we are going to start losing our freedoms more rapidly than we have been.
00:26:51.700
Uh, and we're going to start losing every political battle between freedom and tyranny
00:26:56.540
And so I, I kind of conclude with this urgent call for everybody, you know, parents, pastors,
00:27:01.960
grandparents, everybody in the community must get involved in this education battle because
00:27:06.580
this is the one where if we fail on this, we are going to lose every single other one
00:27:11.420
You know, it doesn't matter if you, if your issue is lower taxes or, you know, stopping
00:27:15.280
the man-made global warming hypothesis from being used as an excuse to steal all our liberty
00:27:19.500
or gun rights or, you know, the abortion issue, any issue you can think about, we're going
00:27:23.880
to lose them all if we continue to allow our children to be brainwashed.
00:27:27.060
So we have to get involved in this fight, whether we want to or not, you know, it's not sexy
00:27:31.300
or pretty or, you know, anything super amazing, but we have to get down to the nitty gritty
00:27:36.180
of the education or the consequences are going to be absolutely catastrophic.
00:27:41.380
I really think the education issue is the most important issue facing conservatives, um,
00:27:48.460
because it really, it's a twofold front because not only are our values being washed out of
00:27:56.600
our own children, um, but secondarily it cripples the workforce going forward.
00:28:02.440
So you can't even work your way out of the financial crisis that progressive policies put
00:28:07.200
us into if we ever get, uh, a sea change in the cultural movement where we go back to
00:28:13.840
conservatism and personal responsibility and self-reliance that we won't have a workforce
00:28:23.140
Um, and I really think that, um, conservatives need to see that and they need to see it immediately
00:28:31.000
because one more generation and I really believe it's over.
00:28:37.060
I mean, we, we are at that point now and I don't, I don't like to sound alarmist.
00:28:40.220
I like to be as optimistic as possible, but we are facing a crisis situation where they
00:28:45.060
are quite literally indoctrinating our children with scientific methodologies, psychological
00:28:49.780
research that they've developed over a century.
00:28:52.460
Um, and as you'll see, if you read this special report, you can actually find all the articles
00:28:57.660
You can go to the new American website and you'll find all those articles there for free,
00:29:02.800
I gave out a whole bunch while I was up in Canada.
00:29:05.280
Um, not only are our kids getting dumber, um, they are being deprived of the fact that
00:29:10.220
the tools that they need to be able to educate themselves.
00:29:12.840
If I, you know, I don't know about the statistics in Canada, but if you look here in the United
00:29:16.500
States, Washington DC, for example, you have more than two thirds of the adult population
00:29:23.640
And that's according to the government's own data.
00:29:25.340
I mean, these people couldn't read their high school diploma.
00:29:27.980
They couldn't read a stop sign to save their lives.
00:29:30.400
Uh, California, you have 50% of the kids, more than 50% of the kids cannot read at even a
00:29:35.460
They're so busy teaching them the man-made global warming theory.
00:29:37.920
And, uh, you know, the gender ideology and all this that the kids can't even read.
00:29:42.540
Uh, and so what happens when you can't read is you cannot educate yourself, right?
00:29:47.460
All, all the accumulated knowledge of mankind that's accessible to anyone who can read is
00:29:51.960
suddenly inaccessible to someone who can't read.
00:29:54.620
Then they have to depend on the television and their government school for knowledge.
00:30:00.440
One more generation, maybe two, and it will be all over for freedom, for our liberties,
00:30:06.480
for our nation, and, uh, we need to really be active in this space or we're going to lose
00:30:12.240
I mean, here in Alberta, 40% of our grade nine students fail math.
00:30:16.960
And I mean, it is, and it's appalling, failing basic math, 40% of them.
00:30:23.320
We are, like you say, we're raising functional illiterates.
00:30:26.280
Um, and it's, it's, uh, I think it's an, uh, an unholy mix of parents who are, um, through
00:30:37.060
Um, and, uh, this, so they're left in schools, um, all day long.
00:30:44.140
Parents are too busy to sort of undo the indoctrination, indoctrination.
00:30:48.540
And then, um, there's, you know, overlay the teacher unions on top of that and their progressive
00:30:55.360
And it's really undermining the future of both of our countries.
00:31:00.140
Um, Alex, I see we're coming up on close to 30 minutes and I try to keep these things
00:31:05.900
to about 20, but you're just so darn interesting.
00:31:15.280
I think the work you guys do is so incredibly well done and it's such a valuable resource.
00:31:23.340
And you guys too, you're doing amazing work and educating the people of Canada and bringing
00:31:30.440

And, uh, so I hope people will reach out, find us and, uh, you know, stay on top of the
00:31:55.500
news that you need to stay free because we are in a battle for our freedom and, uh,

And thank you for being so generous with your time.
00:32:21.060
And I look forward to the next time that you're on the show.
00:32:41.460
I love talking to American journalists who are conservative and unashamed to be conservative
00:32:47.620
and are actively engaged in reporting the traditional family values side of the ongoing culture war.
00:32:56.000
You know, it can be a little bit of a lonely experience as a Canadian journalist who's also
00:33:00.640
actively engaged in advocating for those same things.
00:33:04.740
You know, there aren't very many of us, at least ones that are open about it.
00:33:14.400
Thanks so much for tuning in and I'll see everybody back here in the same time, in the
00:33:20.680
And remember, don't let the government tell you that you've had too much to think.
