Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hello, my Rebels. Today, there's an incredible chase on the streets of Los Angeles, not the
00:00:05.740 O.J. Simpson Bronco chase, something much more terrifying, a mob chasing a driver of a Prius,
00:00:13.600 no less, who tries to get away from the mob, but they chase him and catch him. It's incredible.
00:00:21.400 I'll describe it to you in the podcast, but I wish you could see it, and to do so, you can simply

00:00:41.520 today's podcast.
00:00:55.460 Tonight, what would life be like if Joe Biden wins the presidency in 39 days? Los Angeles
00:01:04.060 gives us a glimpse on September 25th, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:10.040 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:13.780 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer. The only thing I have to
00:01:18.920 say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:01:25.460 It's just 39 days until the U.S. election. You wouldn't know by Joe Biden's campaign
00:01:33.740 schedule. His campaign calls a lid every morning around 930. Calling a lid is what it's called
00:01:40.640 when you give advice to the media on your campaign that you've done for the day. There's nothing
00:01:44.840 else expected. No more events, no more statements. The workday's done so the media can go back
00:01:49.180 to their hotels or whatever, file their stories. Biden's campaign has been calling a lid
00:01:54.200 every morning at around 930 a.m. That's got to be unprecedented. You're running for the
00:02:01.740 presidency. You're the candidate of one of the two major parties. It's 39 days out, and
00:02:07.380 you just quit every day at 930? No interviews, no events? It's sad, nothing else. Did you see
00:02:14.840 this speech he gave on Constitution Day? Good afternoon and welcome to the nation's Constitution
00:02:24.120 Center. I had the great privilege of being a guest leader of this outfit for a year. It's
00:02:36.380 an appropriate place to make the speech I'm about to make. I'm sorry he's not well. They
00:02:42.740 probably give him a shot of something, adrenaline, I don't know, just a needle in the tush to give
00:02:47.560 him an hour of lucidity and energy. And they get him away from microphones and cell phone
00:02:52.720 cameras. I really don't know how he'll get through a debate. I truly believe they're going
00:02:57.960 to try and come up with an excuse like that he's caught COVID. I bet you they'll say that.
00:03:02.300 It doesn't seem to have hurt the Democrats, though. I think their support for their party
00:03:08.180 is just as solid as Trump's support amongst Republicans. Just like the daily scandals that
00:03:14.040 CNN or the New York Times pumps out on Donald Trump. Oh, we've got him now. It hasn't worked
00:03:19.200 for the past five years. I think Democrats' faith in their party is just as unshakable.
00:03:24.740 They don't care if Joe Biden is non-compass-mentus. They don't care. Kamala Harris will do just
00:03:30.440 fine. She's already thinking about being the president in all but name. I think that was
00:03:36.100 what behind this slip of the tongue the other day. Take a look.
00:03:39.120 You need to make sure you have a president in the White House who actually sees you,
00:03:45.340 who understands your needs, who understands the dignity of your work, and who has your back.
00:03:52.440 A Harris administration together with Joe Biden.
00:03:56.140 A Harris administration with Joe Biden. That sounds about right. There was a moment when the
00:04:03.180 Democrats hated Harris. She was a prosecutor who really went after low-income families,
00:04:08.700 after black families. She prosecuted parents whose kids skipped school. She was brutal.
00:04:17.220 She laughed about it. She bragged about it.
00:04:19.820 To everyone, a friend of mine actually called me and he said, Kamala, my wife got the letter.
00:04:23.640 She freaked out. She brought all the kids into the living room, held up the letter, said,
00:04:30.280 if you don't go to school, Kamala's going to put you and me in jail.
00:04:36.060 Yes, we achieved an intended effect.
00:04:38.500 Yeah. Anyways, it's weird because some people might call that being tough on crime,
00:04:43.780 suing moms who have troubled families, except that Biden and Harris are the opposite of tough on crime,
00:04:49.820 real crime. They've either expressly or implicitly supported the Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots
00:04:55.580 these past months. And I want to show you something from last night. This is from Los Angeles.
00:05:01.020 Take a look at this.
00:05:03.480 It's a Prius trying very carefully to get by a street protest, not running over anyone,
00:05:08.960 just trying to get through. Didn't hit anyone. Did you see that? Didn't hit anyone.
00:05:12.880 Driving away. Oh my God, they're chasing. They're chasing.
00:05:15.760 He knows it, and he drives away. Okay, you think he's in the clear now. He didn't hit anyone.
00:05:22.340 He's driving away, but look, look behind him now. This is shot by, look who's chasing him.
00:05:28.580 They're chasing him on foot, but also in a truck and a motorcycle. They're chasing him blocks away now.
00:05:34.960 Blocks away.
00:05:35.720 And they run in front of him. They stop him. That's him in the little Prius.
00:05:42.860 And they jump out, and he tries to back up. Is he reaching in? Is he reaching through the window?
00:05:51.680 Is his arm in? He looks like his arm is in.
00:05:55.200 The driver is backing up more. Hits another car that was chasing.
00:06:01.760 Now they're getting out. They're swarming the car. They're smashing the windows.
00:06:05.840 They're going to take a bike and smash the window. That's a pole. Here's a bike.
00:06:11.220 Smash the back window. Smashing the front window.
00:06:13.980 Another block. This is a large six-lane road.
00:06:26.200 He pulls over.
00:06:29.540 There's a police car. He comes up with his hands up.
00:06:31.760 He's obviously not injured too much. He can stand up and walk backwards without stumbling.
00:06:36.780 The police tells him, hands up.
00:06:39.780 The police handcuff him.
00:06:41.360 There's a gun in the hand of the other cop.
00:06:45.520 And here it is from another point of view.
00:06:48.260 This is an edited version.
00:06:51.200 You can see gently nosing through.
00:06:53.680 Not rolling over anyone. There's no one injured.
00:06:57.020 But they decide to run.
00:06:58.580 They decide to chase him.
00:07:01.980 Block him.
00:07:04.180 They didn't box him in.
00:07:06.020 They tried to.
00:07:06.780 You can see the lights from the helicopters overhead.
00:07:09.180 He drives away to be arrested and handcuffed.
00:07:15.520 I tell you, I never thought I'd cheer for a Prius in my life before.
00:07:20.040 Never get out of your car when a mob swarms you.
00:07:22.640 They will kill you.
00:07:23.780 Now that's in a city with a Democrat mayor, a Democrat police chief, a Democrat city council, a Democrat governor of the state, two Democrat senators, including Kamala Harris, a state that overwhelmingly votes Democrat in presidential races federally, a state with sanctuary cities and green energy and all the woke wokeness.
00:07:45.280 That's their epitome.
00:08:15.280 Falling under its own.
00:08:16.280 Falling under its own weight.
00:08:16.560 Taxes, crime, illegal immigration, violent censorship, malaise.
00:08:20.340 Don't forget that the dilapidated city of Detroit, which looks like a post-apocalyptic ruin, that used to be the leading industrial city in America.
00:08:30.900 The highest earning city in America.
00:08:34.720 Now it's ruins.
00:08:35.560 I think that's what's at stake in 39 days.
00:08:43.960 Did you see this?
00:08:45.020 I see that a billionaire named Mike Bloomberg, who is a personal retinue of armed guards, who has private jets, he lives wherever, he flies wherever.
00:08:53.900 However, he believes in a Democrat future because he himself doesn't have to worry about the malaise or the risk to his own life or the life of any of his descendants for generations to come.
00:09:03.600 You know what he's doing, this billionaire?
00:09:06.760 Let me read.
00:09:07.360 Former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg and his team have raised more than $16 million to pay the court fines and fees of nearly 32,000 black and Hispanic Florida voters with felony convictions, an effort aimed at boosting turnout for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
00:09:24.460 He's literally paying off the bills for 32,000 criminals.
00:09:31.860 Apparently they can't vote until they pay their fines.
00:09:34.780 Bloomberg, who doesn't live in Florida, wants 32,000 criminals to vote there because he knows they'll vote Democrat.
00:09:42.980 Of course they will.
00:09:43.860 They're criminals.
00:09:45.360 Those are garden variety criminals.
00:09:47.160 You know, things like robbery, that sort of thing.
00:09:49.340 But of course, the Democrats like the political criminals, the best, the kind who rule the streets of Los Angeles.
00:09:56.760 People like this.
00:09:57.540 Look at this.
00:09:59.160 Stand your foot back!
00:10:01.660 Stand your foot back!
00:10:05.100 Stand your foot back!
00:10:07.140 Stand your foot back!
00:10:11.180 Stand your foot back!
00:10:15.240 Stand your foot back!
00:10:19.340 Stand your foot back!
00:10:24.460 Stand your foot back!
00:10:26.800 Stand your foot back!
00:10:28.940 Stand your foot back!
00:10:31.060 Now that's not violence, although almost.
00:10:34.880 That's in St. Petersburg, in Pinellas County, Florida.
00:10:39.060 One of the four counties that flipped in Florida from Obama to Trump in 2016.
00:10:44.820 Squeaked through.
00:10:45.520 That county, Trump won just by 1%, by the way.
00:10:50.900 1% tipped the balance.
00:10:52.320 Bloomberg is paying for 32,000 criminals to vote.
00:10:58.180 But you know, if people seem, they keep seeing the violence in the Democrat parts of America.
00:11:03.760 All the riots have been in Democrat cities.
00:11:07.640 New York, D.C., Minneapolis, L.A., Portland, Seattle.
00:11:11.360 That's Democrat America that's rioting and burning, burning itself down.
00:11:17.380 If people keep seeing that on the news, and then they see it starting to seep into red America, purple America, like Pinellas County, well, which do you think?
00:11:28.320 What do you think they'll do?
00:11:30.020 Do you think that'll change their vote?
00:11:31.180 I'd like to think that anyone in St. Petersburg, Florida, who saw that video of the thugs shouting and screaming and sitting right down at a restaurant table, someone who wasn't woke enough.
00:11:41.320 I'd like to think that video turns hundreds of independent voters into Republicans.
00:11:47.380 I'd like to think so.
00:11:50.360 But is it enough to counteract 32,000 Bloomberg criminals?
00:11:54.980 I don't know.
00:11:56.420 If I were an American, I'd feel a little bit like the guy driving that Prius right now.
00:12:03.040 I just hope I'd make it.
00:12:05.880 Stay with us for more.
00:12:17.380 Well, it was a big week in Parliament.
00:12:23.340 The throne speech, Julie Payette, the Governor General, reading a speech written by the Prime Minister's office.
00:12:30.420 I like to watch for key words in these speeches, like Alberta or farmers or civil liberties, things like that.
00:12:37.920 There was a mention of Alberta and Saskatchewan and the oil-producing provinces.
00:12:42.200 But the only mention was these provinces have to get ready to net zero their emissions.
00:12:50.120 That's code word for, hey guys, can you get ready to shut down?
00:12:54.800 Here, take a look.
00:12:55.920 Canada cannot reach net zero without the know-how of the energy sector and the innovative ideas of all Canadians,
00:13:03.900 including people in places like British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador.
00:13:12.200 The government will support manufacturing, natural resource and energy sectors
00:13:17.980 as they work to transform to meet a net zero future, creating good paying and long-lasting jobs.
00:13:25.900 You wouldn't think that a province with the highest unemployment in generations
00:13:33.260 would be asked to bear the brunt of getting the country out of the pandemic recession.
00:13:39.960 But that's how it looks. Joining us now via Skype from Edmonton is the senior columnist for the Edmonton Sun
00:13:46.380 who has written about this subject and about Jason Kenney, the Premier's response to it.
00:13:51.620 Our friend Lauren Gunter joins us now.
00:13:53.800 Lauren, have I overstated, sometimes thrown speech is going to be a bit vague.
00:13:58.540 Do you think I've misunderstood what Julie Payette meant?
00:14:02.020 No.
00:14:02.500 I don't think you've overestimated it.
00:14:10.440 I think that's what it's going to come to.
00:14:12.960 I think what the Liberals are doing is hoping very much that the obstacles they've thrown up to oil and gas
00:14:21.760 in the tanker ban, the new regime for approving pipelines and oil sands projects
00:14:30.520 and other energy-related initiatives, all of that is going to continue to stymie development of the energy sector in Canada.
00:14:44.600 So much so that they won't have to declare it closed, it will just close on its own.
00:14:52.540 I think we've already missed, well, the one estimate I saw today was $150 billion in extra investment,
00:15:03.540 mostly overseas investment, in oil and gas, primarily in Alberta.
00:15:09.780 My own estimate is it's probably closer to $200 billion since the Liberals came to power in 2015
00:15:16.140 that has not come to Alberta and otherwise would have come to Alberta.
00:15:21.040 If you look at other oil-producing areas, even in the developed world,
00:15:27.360 our share of what has gone on since the prices recovered after the 2015 collapse,
00:15:35.900 our share should have been somewhere, I think, closer to $200 billion.
00:15:38.900 So this is a government that has done everything it possibly could to stymie oil and gas development.
00:15:48.300 The one thing that it's done in favor of oil and gas would be to continue to press through the Trans Mountain pipeline.
00:15:58.500 But I think they did that purely for political reasons.
00:16:01.120 They had to be seen to be somewhat in favor of economic development.
00:16:05.980 And Trans Mountain seemed the easiest thing for them to grab on to to prove they had some economic development interests at heart.
00:16:15.340 And so that's what they've done.
00:16:16.600 But almost everything else, they have tried everything they can, very successfully,
00:16:20.920 getting rid of the Energy East pipeline, getting rid of the Northern Gateway pipeline,
00:16:26.060 going so hard on the tech resources frontier oil sands line that tech resources after 10 years and a billion dollars in development costs,
00:16:38.340 threw up their hands and said, you know, you don't want this.
00:16:42.840 You're not going to let us have the permits.
00:16:45.340 We're just walking away.
00:16:46.360 And more and more and more of that stuff has happened because the Liberals have put these obstacles up there.
00:16:54.960 Not because the Liberals went and said, you can't have the frontier mind.
00:17:01.260 They just made it so difficult that the company finally thought, she's not worth it.
00:17:05.600 And that's the sort of thing that that they're doing when they're talking about net zero.
00:17:11.140 They could they could mandate that they could dictate that there will be net zero.
00:17:17.180 They could put hard legal definitions on our limits on how much oil and gas development there could be.
00:17:26.140 But they're not doing that.
00:17:27.160 They're the Liberals.
00:17:28.520 They don't want to do that.
00:17:29.820 They don't want to do the bold thing.
00:17:32.000 What they want to do is get their way by kind of sneaky methods.
00:17:37.220 And I think they're doing it.
00:17:38.360 And I think so.
00:17:39.700 I don't think you are overestimating what Payette meant, what was meant by the words that Payette spoke on behalf of the government.
00:17:47.860 Right.
00:17:48.320 You mentioned Trans Mountain.
00:17:49.800 And I saw an interview with the president of the company that's building it.
00:17:54.840 I mean, the ownership is a little murky to me, but he is a lifelong pipeline builder.
00:18:02.280 He knows his stuff.
00:18:03.460 And he sure sounded positive.
00:18:05.720 There is pipeline construction, but it's in Alberta mainly.
00:18:10.440 When it gets to the lower mainland of B.C., because that's where the pipeline ends, it'll be easy in Alberta.
00:18:17.580 It may well be easy even in eastern B.C. rural, but let me show you a quick clip.
00:18:25.760 I think this is from Bloomberg.
00:18:27.320 He was asked a really fair question.
00:18:30.040 What will you do if there's protesters?
00:18:32.780 And he said, well, we'll take action.
00:18:34.960 Here, take a quick look at this.
00:18:36.800 I think it's fair to say another challenge that you're likely going to face would be protesters as we head towards those areas.
00:18:42.440 How do you anticipate dealing with that?
00:18:44.120 We keep a close eye on activity.
00:18:47.780 We obviously, you know, don't discourage, you know, law-abiding, peaceful protest activity.
00:18:53.560 That's everybody's right in our society.
00:18:55.840 And we don't discourage that.
00:18:57.620 But to the extent that it impedes our work at our work sites or threatens or causes unsafe conditions,
00:19:04.000 then we'll take immediate action.
00:19:07.400 We're, you know, prepared for whatever might come our way.
00:19:11.740 But at the same time, we're really hopeful that it's going to be peaceful and law-abiding
00:19:16.000 and that the men and women working on this project can continue to.
00:19:19.760 When you say immediate action, what happens if these protests turn violent,
00:19:24.240 as we've seen with some of the other protests around pipelines?
00:19:27.000 Yeah, the authorities have their jobs to do.
00:19:29.660 And, you know, we're in regular contact with authorities.
00:19:32.760 And we are inclined to take, you know, immediate and swift action.
00:19:36.980 And we've got an injunction in British Columbia that prevents anybody from impeding the work
00:19:40.980 or creating unsafe conditions.
00:19:43.240 We're patient.
00:19:44.300 We will take the necessary steps, but we'll ensure that the work is safe and can proceed.
00:19:51.840 I like his attitude, but I don't think a company can take action other than running to court.
00:19:57.420 And even with a court order, he can put that on a stack of 10 other court orders
00:20:01.820 if the RCMP won't enforce it.
00:20:04.300 And we know Trudeau certainly wouldn't use the military.
00:20:07.120 Here's my question for you.
00:20:08.340 Do you think Justin Trudeau really will clear the way of his environmentalist allies
00:20:15.340 like Sephora Berman and all those groups that helped get him elected in B.C.?
00:20:20.500 Do you think he will really clear the path for that pipeline
00:20:23.700 or to get all the way down to burn a B.C.?
00:20:27.020 I don't. I don't.
00:20:29.740 I'm not entirely sure he won't, but I'm pretty sure he won't.
00:20:34.300 I mean, right now, as you said, most of the construction is in Alberta.
00:20:37.020 Some of the construction is in the interior of B.C.
00:20:39.300 I went past it about two weeks ago, and it was nice to see.
00:20:45.340 But it's in a place where it's hard to get kombucha and fair trade pour over coffee.
00:20:50.300 So, you know, the environmentalists are not there.
00:20:53.880 Goodness, do you think in McClure, B.C., we could get a fine kombucha?
00:20:58.300 I don't think so.
00:20:59.020 Well, let's not go up there and throw that in.
00:21:01.580 And oat milk.
00:21:03.460 That's the new thing.
00:21:04.520 Yeah, but when you get to when you get to Burnaby, it's much easier.
00:21:11.360 And if you remember, there were boycotts.
00:21:16.240 What would you call them?
00:21:17.560 And blockades?
00:21:18.380 Not quite all it was.
00:21:19.960 There were there were protesters who had set up camps around the terminus for the Trans Mountain about two years ago.
00:21:28.280 And neither the B.C. government, which is NDP and also held in power by the Green Party, neither the B.C. government nor the Canadian government would do anything about it.
00:21:39.040 So that the B.C. government wouldn't go to court to to back up the company and the company would go to court and get these injunctions.
00:21:48.520 The courts would say, they're on your property.
00:21:50.860 They shouldn't be there.
00:21:51.820 And then the federal government could have sent the federal RCMP, could have sent the national RCMP in to do it, but they never did.
00:22:01.660 And so Burnaby is patrolled locally.
00:22:04.840 Their local police forces the RCMP.
00:22:06.940 So the local RCMP would go over and they would arrest a few people and they'd take them away.
00:22:11.380 There'd be a media circus about that.
00:22:14.200 But it wasn't being enforced by the provincial government or the federal government.
00:22:19.540 So that gives me an indication that the federal government is not keen to to see this completed.
00:22:26.940 They'd like this.
00:22:27.660 They're happy enough to see it strung out for a long time because they can say, you know, we're the owners.
00:22:33.600 We're pushing this through.
00:22:35.060 But we really don't want to see anyone hurt.
00:22:37.480 We don't want to see anybody roughed up by the police.
00:22:41.340 We're a little worried about that.
00:22:43.000 So we're going to negotiate with, well, there's no negotiating with these environmentalists because they have no skin in the game.
00:22:51.940 They don't care.
00:22:52.980 It doesn't matter to them.
00:22:54.880 Their jobs are not dependent.
00:22:57.140 At least they don't think their jobs are dependent on oil and gas revenue.
00:23:01.700 But I think one of the things that comes out of the throne speech, and Alberta Premier Jason Kenney made this abundantly clear, his own press conference on Thursday, the day after the throne speech.
00:23:12.120 One of the things that comes out of the throne speech that hasn't been talked about by the liberal is that they simply cannot finance everything that they're talking about without a recovery of the oil and gas sector.
00:23:27.180 The oil and gas sector for the last 20 years, 25 years, has been the number one export industry in the country.
00:23:35.320 And the largest single source of government revenue.
00:23:40.120 It sustains about 800,000 jobs across the country, not just in Alberta and Saskatchewan, but across the country.
00:23:45.580 And if you think that you're suddenly going to get all of these people into fanciful green energy, alternate economy jobs that pay just as well, you really do have a problem in your thinking.
00:24:03.060 Your logic is really faulty because that's just not going to happen.
00:24:07.040 Ontario, in the 2010s, had their Green Energy Act, 2009 until about 2014.
00:24:18.520 And they spent $50 billion of public money to subsidize the startup of alternate energy, wind, solar, bio.
00:24:31.080 They converted an old coal power plant in Thunder Bay to burning spruce chips and things.
00:24:42.780 They spent $50 billion doing that.
00:24:44.800 It was one of the reasons why Ontario was the most indebted subnational government in the world for a time.
00:24:52.260 So that means that, you know, for any province or state in any country, they were the most indebted of any of those in the entire world because of their green energy fund.
00:25:02.300 And at the end of all of that, the Auditor General in Ontario said, well, it didn't produce any new energy.
00:25:08.940 It hasn't reduced emissions.
00:25:10.620 And far and away, it did not produce the 250,000 high-paying alternate energy jobs that the Liberal Ontario government had promised.
00:25:23.660 It produced about 12,000.
00:25:26.080 And most of those disappeared when the subsidies ended.
00:25:29.640 So that's what we're going to end up with federally.
00:25:32.940 We're going to spend billions and billions and billions of dollars on alternate energy.
00:25:38.160 Billions of dollars we don't have because we're shutting down the regular energy economy.
00:25:44.960 And at the end, what few jobs are created will disappear and we will not have solved our emissions.
00:25:53.600 We will not have lowered our emissions in any meaningful way anyway.
00:25:57.100 And that's, I think, at the heart of what Kenny was talking about in his press conference.
00:26:03.420 And that is the biggest single flaw in the throne screen.
00:26:07.600 Yeah.
00:26:08.440 Well, you mentioned Jason Kenney, and that's the subject of your new column.
00:26:11.920 Let me just read the title.
00:26:13.140 For those who haven't read it yet, it's called Trudeau Ignoring That There Will Be No Recovery From Pandemic Without Strong Energy Sector.
00:26:22.580 That's in the Edmonton Sun.
00:26:25.200 A couple years ago, just over a year ago, there was this Maclean's Magazine cover that looked really tough.
00:26:30.980 And it was called The Resistance.
00:26:32.700 And you had Andrew Scheer flanked by Doug Ford and Jason Kenney and Scott Moe and Brian Pallister.
00:26:40.920 And these were the young bucks of the right who were going to stop Justin Trudeau.
00:26:45.280 Well, Andrew Scheer's gone.
00:26:47.060 Doug Ford has daily phone chats with Christia Freeland.
00:26:51.760 He couldn't be more proud of Justin Trudeau.
00:26:54.140 He's having joint press conferences with him.
00:26:55.700 But really, the only one, I mean, I like Scott Moe.
00:26:58.980 He's about to head into an election himself.
00:27:01.280 The only one who's really fighting out of the five men on that cover is Jason Kenney.
00:27:06.840 Here, let me play you a little clip I thought was sort of funny.
00:27:09.540 He was looking at some of the new age kind of, well, he used the phrase kooky.
00:27:15.040 Here's a quick clip from Jason Kenney talking about the Black Lives Matter theme in the throne speech, which is weird to me because that's so much an American political movement.
00:27:26.880 We didn't have slavery here.
00:27:28.060 We didn't have Jim Crow.
00:27:29.040 We didn't have the Civil War.
00:27:30.780 We didn't have the Ku Klux Klan.
00:27:33.160 That's an American story.
00:27:34.560 But Trudeau seems to be mimicking it.
00:27:36.660 Here's a quick clip of Kenney responding to some of the baffle gab from the throne speech.
00:27:41.360 Last week, I was in Ottawa with premiers representing a consensus of all 13 provinces and territories calling on the federal government in the throne speech to focus on two key priorities, on health and the economy and jobs.
00:28:01.240 We also asked for action to show fairness in the federation through reform of the fiscal stabilization program.
00:28:08.780 These issues were not addressed in yesterday's throne speech.
00:28:12.840 There was space for every bright, shiny object, every possible political distraction.
00:28:19.660 Kooky academic theories like intersectionality find their way into yesterday's throne speech.
00:28:25.340 But not one word about health transfers for the provinces that are carrying 80% of the costs as our population ages and we cope with a pandemic.
00:28:34.320 You say that Jason Kenney is too polite and too diplomatic to really smash and bash the feds.
00:28:40.540 And I think you're right.
00:28:42.020 He's in control of himself and he's professional.
00:28:45.140 And he has a general respect for politicians of other parties.
00:28:50.340 I think he gets along.
00:28:51.320 He's not mean, despite his critics saying so.
00:28:55.980 But I think he's really all alone in fighting Trudeau.
00:28:59.740 Who's the anti-Trudeau?
00:29:01.480 Maybe Aaron O'Toole will grow into it.
00:29:03.880 But, Lauren, in your opinion, who is the counterweight to Trudeau?
00:29:08.700 I don't see it in the courts.
00:29:09.800 I don't see it in the media.
00:29:10.880 I don't see it in Ottawa.
00:29:12.060 Where's the counterweight?
00:29:13.680 No, it'll be interesting to see whether or not the Supreme Court sides with some of the provincial courts on the carbon tax.
00:29:24.500 And they strike down the carbon tax.
00:29:27.320 That might be a counterweight there.
00:29:29.680 But that will be many months from now before we hear about that.
00:29:33.960 I think Kenney is the only counterweight.
00:29:37.560 And I don't think he has been as much of a counterweight as he could be.
00:29:41.300 I think he does need to get a little bit tougher with the feds.
00:29:44.040 I think he started that this week.
00:29:46.060 My favorite line of his was that the throne speech was an imaginary plan for a fantasy country.
00:29:52.360 Yeah.
00:29:52.460 You know, and that's what it is.
00:29:55.720 The federal liberals have this absolutely otherworldly concept that you can shut down all of the carbon-based industries in the country.
00:30:08.800 And in a heartbeat, all you need to do is sprinkle a little bit of taxpayer money on top of it, or even a lot of taxpayer money, and something new will grow up.
00:30:19.300 And the people I wish would grow up are the federal liberals.
00:30:23.240 That simply is insane.
00:30:26.040 There is no way that that's going to happen.
00:30:28.200 And the thing that really irks me about all of this is that many of the same people who designed the failed plan in Ontario that we were talking about earlier are the same people who designed the new federal plan.
00:30:41.460 And they don't, in their own minds, even see that the Ontario plan was a failure because they got woke.
00:30:50.720 They showed off their woke credentials on the environment.
00:30:56.100 And that's all that matters to liberals and progressives is that they appear to be woke.
00:31:01.480 That's why they're big on the Black Lives Matter thing in Canada, even though it's not really a Canadian thing, because it shows how woke they are on race.
00:31:10.780 The fact that Trudeau has insisted that there is as much systemic discrimination in Canada as there is in the United States is not because he intends to do anything about it.
00:31:20.840 It's because saying that makes him woke.
00:31:24.380 And being woke is the ultimate achievement of progressives and liberals, not actually changing them, but simply proving that they themselves are as smart and sensitive and caring and inclusive as anyone else.
00:31:41.640 Yeah.
00:31:42.140 Well, let me sum up our whole conversation.
00:31:45.220 We're in deep trouble.
00:31:47.220 Lauren, great to see you again.
00:31:48.580 Thanks for joining us.
00:31:49.640 Nice to see you, my friend.
00:31:51.080 You bet.
00:31:51.500 You too.
00:31:51.820 All right.
00:31:52.600 There you have it.
00:31:52.980 Lauren Gunter, he's a senior columnist at the Edmonton Sun, and I recommend his latest column in the Sun.
00:31:58.800 The headline is,
00:31:59.560 Trudeau ignoring that there will be no recovery from pandemic without strong energy sector.
00:32:05.480 You can find that online or on newsstands in Edmonton.
00:32:08.800 Stay with us.
00:32:09.460 More ahead.
00:32:09.780 Hey, welcome back to my monologue about Kean in Ottawa.
00:32:24.700 Alan writes,
00:32:25.640 It seems that Catherine McKenna seems to be hiding behind her skirt.
00:32:30.160 I take your point.
00:32:31.560 I mean, she uses her gender as her first line of defense.
00:32:35.980 Whenever she screws up, says something wrong or dumb, she says, you're just being sexist.
00:32:40.780 No, I don't think so.
00:32:41.720 You know, I used to have a joke that I would tell, oh, that officer, he only pulled me over for speeding because I'm Jewish.
00:32:47.700 I never actually said that, of course, but you see the joke.
00:32:50.560 How would the officer know I'm Jewish if I'm pulled over for speeding?
00:32:54.700 Catherine McKenna isn't hated because she's a woman.
00:32:58.060 She's hated because she's hostile to anyone who disagrees with her.
00:33:02.420 She's incompetent as a minister.
00:33:04.680 She's lost track of billions of dollars.
00:33:07.320 She's a hypocrite.
00:33:08.500 She confesses on tape to lying to the public.
00:33:11.340 That's why people hate her.
00:33:12.940 It's not because she's a woman.
00:33:14.260 And it's a bit pitiful that she reaches for that.
00:33:17.540 It's almost like that's what she thinks women should do to get ahead.
00:33:21.280 I don't think so.
00:33:22.180 And I hope women don't use her as a role model.
00:33:25.340 Corey writes,
00:33:25.840 Speaking of McKenna, who wears a mask in a posed picture?
00:33:29.960 Every Democrat does.
00:33:31.520 Every lefty.
00:33:32.620 Go on Twitter and look at the photo icons of people.
00:33:36.580 Those with masks.
00:33:37.460 I think they're telling you something about themselves and what they think of you.
00:33:41.080 On my interview with Mark Morano about Climate Hustle 2, Bruce writes,
00:33:45.440 As for Climate Hustle 2, I intend on buying copies of both the first and second movie for my local library.
00:33:51.100 Unless some bureaucrat says it must be excluded from the collection,
00:33:53.880 I know my rural friends will be glad to borrow those informative discs.
00:33:58.680 You know, that's a good question.
00:34:00.060 I remember some of my old books, Ethical Oil, Shakedown.
00:34:04.840 Hundreds of copies were bought by libraries across Canada.
00:34:08.500 I'll have to check.
00:34:09.220 I wonder if any libraries have dared to purchase my books,
00:34:14.000 The Libranos or China Virus.
00:34:17.080 I wonder.
00:34:18.620 Unfortunately, I think librarians have become censors just like the rest of the world, Mom.
00:34:23.560 Well, that's the show for today.
00:34:25.780 Enjoy the weekend.
00:34:26.420 We've got so many great videos coming your way.
00:34:28.720 Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters,
00:34:32.160 to you at home,
00:34:33.300 good night,
00:34:34.360 and keep fighting for freedom.
00:34:35.440 Thank you.
