00:08:43.240 grocery shopping again. Okay. I mean, uh, a week before the lockdown happened before they closed

00:08:50.580 the NHL and everybody freaked out. I was, I was getting some groceries. You know, I thought this

00:08:55.780 is going to be crazy guys I've just collected enough sustenance to last me a couple weeks

00:09:02.720 you know this is great I'm preparing myself I'm preparing myself for this apocalypse that

00:09:08.880 might happen I thought I wonder what my mom would think and then I thought you know what she would

00:09:14.860 say Greg you're just grocery shopping that's what grocery shopping is you buy food for a week or two

00:09:23.540 that you live off of and you cook at home oh yeah oh yeah but that's a positive cooking at home

00:09:30.500 doing that more often which is great what other positives what other positives um i don't know

00:09:36.820 developing nearsightedness and a mild sleep condition that's also another positive from

00:09:43.500 this virus i mean there's just so many positive things going on today and um i mean how are you

00:09:50.480 doing right people ask how you doing are you staying safe how you doing I saw a meme that's

00:12:15.820 these celebrities um i don't know what these celebrities are doing but uh yeah they're yeah

00:12:22.200 they're not okay i don't think they're okay when they don't have like their pr people around them

00:12:31.540 stroking their ego they go on social media and their true colors come out and it's not pretty

00:12:40.500 you may have seen a little weird viral video about a bunch of i believe her name is gal gadot 0.99

00:12:49.020 and there's a whole bunch of other people and they're at their mansions and they're singing

00:12:54.360 a very shitty rendition of john lennon's imagine and we're we're in this together folks we're all

00:13:01.300 in this together you're in a nice lavish luxurious mansion and I'm stuck in this tiny apartment

00:13:11.360 but we're in this together I have my doctor on call and my own personal videographer and

00:13:19.700 lighting team with me but we're in this together anyway I did a parody of that video here it is

00:14:08.800 protect me. No accountants or lawyers too. Imagine dirty people living on my 1.00

00:14:20.880 street you may say I'm just some rich actor acting like I care about everyone

00:14:31.340 but maybe someday you'll realize my virtue signaling saves everyone imagine

00:14:42.420 When we were equals, with Disney magic you can.

00:14:50.080 No greed or hunger for money, please buy my new lotion product for your hands.

00:14:59.660 Imagine if I made every crisis all about me.

00:15:10.040 You may say I'm just some elitist because I care about everyone.

00:15:17.160 Maybe someday you'll realize my virtue signaling saves everyone.

00:15:28.820 You're welcome world.

00:15:31.640 Love is love.

00:15:33.480 hey everybody welcome back hope you enjoyed that it is now time for the corona quiz

00:15:44.020 there's five questions in my imaginary friends i want you i want you to participate

00:15:50.280 as well i will go through them they're multiple choice not to worry make sure you put your answers

00:15:56.140 in chat there there will be no prizes uh not in this economy are you kidding but i do need to

00:16:03.460 say before I go into this, I actually did need to make sure that all the information was state

00:16:08.880 approved. So there were some alterations that need to be made to the quiz. I think you'll know what

00:16:13.700 I mean. But anyway, let's get into the Corona quiz. Question number one. What was the precise

00:16:21.300 origin of the virus COVID-19? Was it A, created by the U.S. military and released in Wuhan, 0.89

00:16:32.720 China? Was it B, created in a Canadian lab, then patient zero traveled to Wuhan, China? 0.70

00:16:40.840 was it c redacted or d bat soup put in your answers lock them in of course the answer is 0.72

00:16:52.680 c bat soup we all know that there is absolutely no question about that okay that is the information 1.00

00:17:02.980 we know it don't question it folks on to question two okay great what's the best thing

00:17:10.520 Canadians can do to deal with the COVID-19 crisis? What is the best thing Canadians can do to deal

00:17:18.380 with the COVID-19 crisis? Remember to lock in your answers, folks. Is it A, wash your hands

00:17:24.500 and don't criticize the liberal government? Is it B, stay two meters apart from one another

00:17:32.620 and don't criticize the liberal government? Is it C, only leave your home for essentials like

00:17:40.240 groceries and don't criticize the liberal government or is it d criticize the liberal

00:17:46.980 government then suspiciously disappear and of course is c only leave your home for essential

00:17:57.020 services like groceries this is supposed to be the new normal folks when it comes to social

00:18:02.360 distancing and and washing your hands that's secondary we don't want you to leave your house 0.88

00:18:06.960 that is the priority here. So yeah, I hope you got that one right. I hope you're doing well on

00:18:13.340 the quiz so far. Question number three, how can you spot misinformation online or in the media

00:18:22.860 when it comes to COVID-19? How can you spot misinformation about COVID-19? This is the

00:18:29.560 corona quiz folks is it a if the information comes from a source other than the cbc b you can

00:18:41.140 tell if the information comes from a source other than ctv or global news is it c the information

00:18:50.940 comes from a source other than liberal government officials or is it d all of the above

00:18:58.640 lock those answers in folks of course the correct answer is d all of the above you can only know

00:19:07.680 information is reliable when it comes from these sources it's very it's very very simple

00:19:12.940 okay question number four also having to do with misinformation what should you do when you spot

00:19:22.820 someone spreading misinformation about COVID-19? What should you do when you spot someone

00:19:30.380 spreading misinformation about COVID-19? Do you A, publicly shame them and call them

00:19:39.960 a crazy, stupid conspiracy theorist? Do you B, start a whisper campaign on social media 1.00

00:19:47.200 to discredit them and their reputation to friends and co-workers.

00:19:53.220 Alert the authorities in an attempt to have them thrown in jail.

00:19:57.700 Or D, all of the above.

00:20:02.220 Make sure you lock in your answers. This is a tough one.

00:20:06.940 The answer, of course, is D, all of the above.

00:20:09.900 You must do all of those things.

00:20:12.420 Do all of those things if you see anyone spreading misinformation.

00:20:17.200 about COVID-19. Okay. That is, uh, that is, that is the state approved information. That's,

00:20:23.980 that's, that's what, that's the answer guys. That's what you need to do. Okay. It's very simple.

00:20:29.520 It's very simple. Final question. Final question. Uh, this is a good one. This is a good one. This

00:20:37.200 is actually a true or false question. So pay attention, be, be very careful on this one.

00:20:42.780 question five of the corona quiz the world health organization is a competent high functioning

00:20:52.620 organization that is effective truthful trustworthy and deserving of millions upon

00:20:59.300 millions of dollars from developed nations around the world is it a true or b redacted

00:21:17.380 that is not a option at this point so make sure you make the choice of which one you think is

00:21:25.080 correct i'll give you a moment the answer is a of course of course the world health organization

00:21:35.600 we praise them they are the most trustworthy organization they are a subsidiary or affiliate

00:21:42.740 with the united nations who we also love we also love the united nations as well it's so great

00:21:49.260 and they are just so trustworthy and all the millions of dollars that are sent to them is

00:21:55.540 definitely used in such a great way i mean there's so many experts when it comes to

00:22:00.780 virology and you know stopping a potential pandemic and they clearly did all the things

00:22:07.700 they were supposed to absolutely without a doubt and uh yeah i mean it's not like they were tweet

00:22:14.080 tweeting misinformation themselves in january talking about covid19 not being able to go from

00:22:46.380 time desk and catch up with my special guest tonight mark emery for 420 but first a quick

00:22:55.700 our business has the most reliable customer service let me tell you our technology

00:23:07.720 15 minutes or less could save you 15 or more on car insurance 0.96

00:23:23.020 welcome back ladies and gentlemen welcome to the desk of quarantine tonight 0.95

00:23:28.700 and without further ado here's our special guest for 420 mr mark emory

00:23:34.300 come on down mark come on down great to have you here great to have you here

00:23:39.980 so how has quarantine been for yourself well when you're airing this on april 20th or thereabouts

00:23:49.880 I've been inside 40 days. Now I have gone for walks, went to the Loblaws. But you know, Toronto

00:23:55.340 in April is just not a very nice city if everything's closed down. The reason people live in

00:24:00.460 cities is so they can go to concerts, go to plays, go to baseball games, hockey games, basketball

00:24:05.280 games. If you don't get to go to stuff, the city has no charm. So if you can't go and do stuff and

00:24:12.960 go to restaurants, or what this city is famous and useful for, you've just got an expensive

00:24:18.940 apartment in a big urban you know right now ghost town yeah and that's a lot tougher than if you're

00:24:25.940 always living in owens sound or the muskoka yeah you know and so you know for me 40 days inside is

00:24:32.420 enough i think it's going to be an economic catastrophe i think we're going to see five

00:24:37.840 to seven years of extremely difficult times worldwide we're going to see hundreds of

00:24:43.500 thousands, probably millions and millions of people die from suicides, depression, starvation,

00:24:49.920 poverty. I mean, I'm sure we're going to have millions of women and men driven into prostitution 0.94

00:24:54.280 around the world. No, no, it's just cataclysmic. I mean, we're going to go through something we've

00:24:59.780 never experienced before. And that's why everybody is largely supportive of this government,

00:25:04.920 because they don't understand the consequences of what's happening.

00:25:09.220 I love to have you on the show.

00:25:10.700 You always have such a positive outlook on what's going on,

00:25:14.700 though it's very realistic and it's very refreshing to hear that.

00:25:17.560 And I think you're absolutely right.

00:25:18.560 I think there's a lot of people out there and it hasn't really.

00:25:20.480 For the first time in my lifetime, though,

00:25:22.960 I'm not sure there's anything positive to be anticipated in the next year or two or three.

00:25:28.800 That's why you and I were talking about the sex robots or the sex bots,

00:25:32.220 because intimacy has virtually become outlawed.

00:25:35.120 how is anybody supposed to get a new sexual partner in these times when you

00:25:38.780 have to social distance and quarantine yourself?

00:25:41.760 That was going to be one of my questions, Mark.

00:25:43.380 They say the new normal might be, you know, social distancing for years,

00:25:47.880 right?

00:25:48.160 For years.

00:25:49.060 You know, I'm not sure I even want to live in a society like that.

00:25:54.080 You know,

00:25:54.640 I almost feel like like Edward G.

00:25:56.720 Robinson's scene at the end of Soylent Green is how I'm going to go out

00:26:00.480 because the whole idea of living in sort of a,

00:26:03.200 a desensitized, dehumanized, controlled robotic existence

00:26:08.900 means we may as well have robots. 0.75

00:26:11.820 So are you looking forward to your femoid robo-wife? 1.00

00:26:16.760 No, I'm just saying that that's the inevitability,

00:26:19.480 is that we're going to have robots replacing these humans.

00:26:21.720 Since humans can get pathogens,

00:26:23.820 it's going to make more and more sense for Shoppers, Drug Mart,

00:26:27.280 and all these other places to be fully automated.

00:26:29.880 McDonald's, you name it.

00:26:31.320 All of them have robots.

00:26:32.380 the robots won't be sensitive to pathogens they will never show up sick they will never make

00:26:37.480 mistakes they will do exactly what they're told which is what humans don't do very well

00:26:42.640 um and so and then but this extends into all fear like we're not allowed to have people over to our

00:26:48.600 house anymore we're not allowed to walk with them on the street we can't play sports anymore

00:26:53.380 so the whole idea of a humanoid replica or a replica of a human inside your environment will

00:27:00.080 We'll never give you a passage in.

00:27:01.900 We'll never give you a hard time.

00:27:03.640 Theoretically, if you program right,

00:27:05.260 shouldn't be able to kill you.

00:27:06.460 It's just like Blade Runner. 0.91

00:27:08.140 It's exactly like Blade Runner.

00:27:09.600 And we're getting to that point, though.

00:27:11.060 We're getting there.

00:27:11.720 We're only five to 12 years away from that.

00:27:13.540 Well, I think we're getting from the point of needing it,

00:27:17.060 but in terms of the technology,

00:27:19.680 I don't think the technology is going to be there

00:27:21.900 for quite some time.

00:27:22.740 Oh, no, it's absolutely going to be there.

00:27:24.700 And the reason we...

00:27:25.800 Robots walking around?

00:27:27.800 I haven't seen any robots walking around yet.

00:27:29.920 They're cohabiting with people, talking to them.

00:27:32.540 The only thing that a robot won't be able to do very well, or a humanoid creature, is a sense of humor.

00:27:42.120 A sense of humor is spontaneous, quirky, unpredictable, and really based on the personality of the person making a remark or making a gesture.

00:27:50.680 Robots will have a very difficult time understanding nuance like that.

00:27:54.780 But they will be really good at sharing knowledgeable information.

00:27:58.540 I would say that's actually all they're good at.

00:28:02.560 I think that's all they're good at right now in terms of I can ask Alexa an interesting question and sometimes she gives me an interesting answer.

00:28:10.400 I love my wiretap.

00:28:11.840 I mean my Alexa.

00:28:12.680 It's a very great thing to have in the household.

00:28:15.100 But I think it's going to be quite some time until we can actually have an enjoyable conversation that replicates actual human interaction.

00:28:27.660 don't get me wrong don't get me wrong the rapport that i have the rapport that i build with my

00:28:33.040 fleshlight my girlfriend right now for example is a strong rapport in that element of my life

00:28:38.080 but the rapport of having a conversation with a robot spitting out facts i really don't think

00:28:43.520 that's going to happen yeah but the advantages are too numerous they can do the laundry they 1.00

00:28:48.680 can do washing they can converse with you they can jog with you they're really good mark you're

00:28:53.140 you're talking about you're talking about blade runner yes yeah but we're that's we're not yeah

00:28:59.400 it's sure it's coming but i don't think the technology is there i think the need is good

00:29:03.380 that is becoming like happening now yeah but you know the phrase uh necessity is the mother of

00:29:09.020 invention we've got a million i i agree i agree but i i think there's people who can't who are

00:29:15.500 going to be told for years they can't get near people and but they want companionship and they

00:29:20.640 want sex and they want to do stuff together and they want to go to restaurants i think it will 0.61

00:29:25.880 be interesting if it's not human essentially but behaves like a human right because the government's

00:29:30.700 going to outlaw humanity and literally that's what they're doing right now they've outlawed

00:29:34.920 humanity they say it's temporary but i don't believe that they're telling us it could go on

00:29:39.780 for years and the thing is next year there'll be another pathogen like there always is there's a

00:29:44.580 new pathogen every year and the worst thing we can do is do this hysterical overreaction

00:29:49.620 destroy our civilization, to save some elderly, largely it's elderly. 1.00

00:29:54.180 Sure, some young people with pre-existing conditions occasionally show terrible symptoms or even die.

00:30:00.660 But it's so rare that every time somebody under 45 dies, you can read about it because it's such an unusual event with COVID-19.

00:30:08.920 I do have some quarantine questions for you.

00:30:11.380 what is to get it more positive here what's one good thing that you found out of this quarantine

00:30:19.880 or lockdown phase is there anything positive that you're seeing from this situation or through your

00:30:24.460 own personal experience no i mean i'm having a pleasant enough time especially considering it's

00:30:30.660 40 days inside and i have been six years in prisons 39 different ones so i'm kind of used to

00:30:37.800 isolated and you know the food's better here and the tv's way better and i get to choose it i don't

00:30:44.620 have to fight with 35 guys and i whom i know i'm going to lose the argument with um and uh so you

00:30:52.280 know there are advantage to what i would call house arrest now now under house arrest normally

00:30:58.060 you get to go to work and you can visit your family and stuff like that so this has got a few

00:31:03.900 less privileges than house arrest because we can't go to work we can't see our family right and we're

00:31:09.900 not supposed to have visitors which you can get in prison but that's you know but on the other hand

00:31:14.560 it's familiar um you know i can jerk off with relative privacy um the food is better um but

00:31:22.780 you know what 40 days is almost enough uh and i would i i'm just grateful i don't have three

00:31:28.640 children in the house uh with me driving me crazy absolutely because that's that's something a lot

00:31:34.660 of guys would find hard to take heck a lot of women would find that hard to take um 1.00

00:31:39.340 and we live in canada so that the anarchy and the mayhem and the food riots and the looting

00:31:45.660 uh may never come or it may come later than most places where it's already happening

00:31:50.020 right right yeah i think right now especially right now if you talk to a lot of you know

00:31:55.160 regular canadians they're just enjoying themselves right now they're they're enjoying it and i say

00:32:00.520 like you were saying you know enjoy it while you can enjoy it while you can that's right

00:32:04.540 because they're gonna have years of regret when their kids can't get jobs when they can't get

00:32:09.880 jobs when they can't pay their mortgage when the when their equity collapses and their pension

00:32:15.860 funds pay no interest or dividends etc etc uh there's a lot of pain for everybody to go around

00:32:22.820 not to mention the government's printed up so much money that your currency is going to be

00:32:26.840 devalued considerably, which hurts everyone. Hence the inflation we're going to see with food.

00:32:32.940 We won't see it with accommodation, though, because the housing market is going to collapse.

00:32:37.620 And do you have any predictions in terms of when we'll be let out, when we'll be able to go back

00:32:42.140 outside and not fine for being within two meters of somebody else? Well, when you look at the

00:32:50.020 prime minister it's like that won't happen till next year um and we've already had hundreds of

00:32:55.980 people getting fines here in toronto for breaking those laws and their fines are incredible like a

00:33:01.400 thousand dollars are you out of your mind that's crazy yeah a thousand dollars is like two people's

00:33:06.180 a person's wage for two weeks in the normal world i mean so this idea that somehow oh you were too 1.00

00:33:12.020 close here's a thousand dollars fuck you what is that that's crazy bullshit that's police state 0.98

00:33:17.940 that's like completely over the top kind of fines that should be like an 85 dollar fine so what is 1.00

00:33:25.220 the number one thing that you miss right now only one thing i know there's a lot you probably miss

00:33:31.000 right now being in quarantine what is one thing one thing no i miss my girlfriend oh yeah my

00:33:36.620 girlfriend it's the only thing i really miss yeah what one more topic i wanted to get on you mentioned

00:33:43.200 earlier tonight that you were having some weird kind of I want to say censorship I don't know if

00:33:48.340 that's the right word to use but you said on your Facebook page you were getting thought policed

00:33:53.460 possibly for sharing the wrong information I did put this just on Instagram Twitter and Facebook

00:34:00.240 now but I'm a bit suspicious I got an email but when you track back where the email came from

00:34:06.420 it doesn't seem like a legitimate Facebook source interesting so anyway but we'll know but also I've

00:34:12.740 had four one month suspensions from facebook in the past that sort of arrived in the same way

00:34:18.860 um and and that's that was like four one month suspensions i've had several three day suspensions

00:34:25.440 right for bizarre stuff yeah like one time i criticized the lousy pot at a government store

00:34:31.560 three day suspension what hold on hold on hold on hold on you just criticized the quality of

00:34:38.360 marijuana yeah and the yeah and the fact the price and the quality of the government's legal

00:34:44.220 marijuana and they tell you which one they're referencing when they tell you why you're being

00:34:48.860 banned they show you the one and it's always basically some algorithm that doesn't really

00:34:54.180 have any oversight or any human and because it's only three days it's not worth your while

00:34:59.060 complaining right right now this one says they're permanently deleting my page um as of like tuesday

00:35:05.880 because of some fake news I spread about COVID-19.

00:35:11.380 But since the government itself was spreading fake news recently,

00:35:15.400 like, oh, masks are no good, flights from other countries don't hurt us,

00:35:20.480 the government itself was giving out fake news for COVID-19.

00:35:23.900 So what makes anything I said fake news, you know, whatever.

00:35:27.880 Anyway, we'll see.

00:35:29.080 So I've already let people know.

00:35:30.500 Did you see that little CBC video where the older woman's on her phone? 0.51

00:35:35.500 she's like hey if your uncle or dad is sending you weird misinformation from a strange website

00:35:40.980 i know make sure you tell them to shut the hell up about it how to straighten in a nice way

00:35:44.740 straighten your family out when this i know i literally saw that how do you straighten your

00:35:48.520 family in other words they're they're appealing to the obedient sheep which which seem to be so

00:35:54.000 abundant in canada i gotta say i can't believe like even sometimes my own parents they're sending

00:35:59.360 out you know what 200 billion dollars and free money free money that's such a joke yeah free

00:36:04.700 money money that kids will have to pay for the rest of their life i have hope that we can still

00:36:10.120 turn this country around as you know i ran for the for the ppc back in the fall you were actually

00:36:14.380 last time i saw you in real life actually you were helping me out holding one of my signs during my

00:36:18.200 campaign which is great that was a good time and of course what a what a futile thing eh yeah but

00:36:24.180 i think even before we get into like the actual politics didn't want to talk about politics but

00:36:29.020 here we are um i think the challenge even before that is like you said kind of like sheepish

00:36:34.060 canadians canadians afraid to speak or even really get into a significant conversation where

00:36:39.920 they're speaking out against the you know our our daddy governments who are now you know giving us

00:36:44.460 their our little quarantine salaries uh and you know you've you are i really respect you because

00:36:50.720 i feel like you're an activist for all the right reasons there's a lot of activists these days

00:36:56.400 who are i feel like they might just be doing it for attention or because they're bored but you

00:37:01.440 know with marijuana for yourself you've been doing it since the get-go because you're like this is

00:37:05.500 something i believe in and this is how i'm going to be effective as a person who's willing to

00:37:09.120 sacrifice something for a greater value that's not necessarily something he benefits by so for

00:37:16.620 example if i hold a rally and i want to have a rally that gives me some kind of privilege

00:37:23.420 or money or special position that's not activism but if you're willing to go to jail if you're

00:37:30.700 willing to give up money if you're willing to give up your time and effort for a cause that's

00:37:36.600 greater than yourself and that is purely liberational as opposed to punitive because

00:37:42.680 a lot of people protest for things like oh we want more money because we're poor or we need more

00:37:49.440 money for this shelter or we need to do this or my union needs to stop other people from getting 1.00

00:37:55.400 our jobs that's not activism that's self-centered interest interesting right that in a negative way

00:38:02.840 you could say that's selfish in a positive way you can say it's self-centered so they're doing

00:38:08.300 something to enrich themselves in an obvious way but the people who defend prisoners the people

00:38:14.660 who defend you know human rights and justice the people who go to bat for people with less 0.99

00:38:20.920 privileged than them whereby they don't stand to gain anything that's an activist or someone who's

00:38:27.280 willing to sacrifice of themselves or you know i like to think that going to jail i've gone to jail

00:38:32.200 39 times for cannabis one time for sunday shopping i've been convicted other things that i thought

00:38:38.620 were important matters of justice um sunday shop that's how you prove you're an activist

00:38:44.460 Sunday shopping by going to jail sorry what's Sunday shopping oh I went to jail for five days

00:38:50.920 to uh as a punishment for opening my store in the 80s my bookshop City Lights Bookshop in London

00:38:57.200 Ontario um and I actually got convicted of eight separate different kinds of violations

00:39:03.500 interesting the one I went to jail for though was dressing up as Santa Claus the day before

00:39:10.540 christmas and giving ten dollars worth of books away free to every customer and not selling them

00:39:14.560 anything i wanted to prove that you could get um charged an offense for being santa claus the day

00:39:21.620 before christmas and i successfully proved that got convicted and went to jail

00:39:26.300 proved a point that was uh the point that was december 24 1986 i was charged there but that

00:39:35.300 those laws collapsed shortly after i take some credit for that i gotta ask you about um

00:39:40.800 there there's a lot of people talking about the the dangers of covid19 in corporate or in

00:39:49.280 incarceration inside inside of jails and institutions and uh for somebody who's been

00:39:55.040 inside jails and institutions 30 39 different ones what is your take on this for me on one

00:40:01.220 hand I'm thinking well you know these people are already on lockdown you know but well 50 in the

00:40:08.020 United States 56 inmates have died and a number of staff have died also wow several hundred

00:40:16.140 inmates are currently affected by COVID-19 now I have lots of inmates call me all the time guys I

00:40:23.640 was with in prison I let you know I encourage them to call me right and my friend Terry and

00:40:30.140 ire massachusetts says there are no covet cases there and everybody's health seems good they've

00:40:36.900 all been locked down but the bop in a rather generous act gave every inmate 500 free phone

00:40:43.940 minutes free meaning you know they don't have to pay for them um and that's a real bonus for a lot

00:40:49.760 of inmates they normally a lot of them can't even afford uh five three hundred you normally only get

00:40:55.200 300 minutes a month that's 10 minutes a day in phone calls and you have to pay for them and

00:41:00.700 they're quite expensive in the prison system so the bureau of prisons the united states says

00:41:05.180 while visitations are not allowed they will all get 500 minutes a month uh phone which is a

00:41:11.640 tremendous bonus for many inmates and so it's good that the bop is trying to kind of balance the uh

00:41:18.840 the restrictions with a bit of extra contact with friends and family back home during a sensitive

00:41:25.640 time when a lot of people's family, you know, are nervous about this pathogen. So

00:41:30.140 I'm not a big believer in incarceration. But you know what, when people talked about solitary

00:41:37.640 confinement being inhumane and cruel and unusual, it is if you get sent away for years. But no prison

00:41:44.780 would be safe if all the worst people were not in some way isolated in solitary and i found that

00:41:51.880 the prisons i was in six of them in the u.s were very fair about you know i went to solitary twice

00:41:57.480 for things that weren't i wasn't responsible for and that investigations later found not to be true

00:42:03.900 and so i was kind of like put in solitary for a month for no legitimate reason but i was also

00:42:10.380 grateful that the psychopaths the killers um the people who would use violence or coercion or steal

00:42:18.620 right uh those people would be put into solitary and they could be put into solitary for six months

00:42:23.120 nine months a year and most most everybody was pretty grateful about that because you know

00:42:30.500 they're most prisoners just want to do the right thing while they're in the prison get their time

00:42:35.820 done and get back out probably to fuck it up again but that's not their intention they don't 0.77

00:42:40.700 want to fuck up it's just very difficult to get out of prison unemployed they have burned a few 0.94

00:42:45.940 bridges you don't have any money it's not like people are dying to hire felons right so and 0.99

00:42:52.160 especially in this environment if i was in prison it'd be i'd be i'm not sure i'd want to get out

00:42:57.720 you're not going to have a job your family's going to be like you know like kind of poor

00:43:03.320 because they're all going through a hard time and at least in prison you get three meals a day

00:43:07.900 you get to go out to the yard wow you know got a routine you might even be learning some skills

00:43:12.860 there like hvac and welding and stuff like that so you know there are some advantages to people

00:43:20.380 with i used to play music with a lot of musicians in prison guys with incredible talent geniuses

00:43:26.840 yeah but unfortunately a lot of them get fucked up on alcohol and drugs so you put them out in 0.61

00:43:31.560 a milieu of hopelessness and desperation and a period of unlikely employment when they've got 0.59

00:43:37.360 to report to a parole officer, live at halfway houses, get a lot of pressure from their family.

00:43:43.400 And, you know, they could easily lapse by getting drunk or taking some drugs. So, you know what,

00:43:49.520 if you give these prisoners a chance to get out early and it's like five years, yeah, they would

00:43:55.660 agree to that. Get out now. But if it was like six months, I'd almost think, hmm, I'll wait till

00:44:00.920 this passes. Thank you. I'll do my six months here. No rush, right? Because you don't want to

00:44:06.680 get out during a pandemic where there's absolutely no likelihood of you getting a job. And for that

00:44:12.200 matter, a lot of people when they're released, you know, early, they have to get a job as part

00:44:17.080 of their requirement. So if that's not available, it's just going to be endlessly frustrating for

00:44:21.620 them. Interesting. Interesting. Thanks for your perspective on that. When Bill Gates comes up

00:44:26.680 with his uh injection what's it called again vaccine are you going to take it yeah for sure

00:44:34.600 vaccines for me have been very useful now i travel to a lot of countries i don't do a lot

00:44:40.220 of vaccines i don't get hepatitis a and b i don't get a number of them because i'm assessing the

00:44:45.420 risk to me um but some stuff like yellow fever or zika you know which is in a lot of the countries

00:44:51.660 i go to right um and you know they've largely eradicated a lot of problems with dengue zika

00:44:58.380 by those vaccines right right so uh to me i look at what works what doesn't work

00:45:04.220 um and mosquitoes love me so you know i face a very stark choice because i go to a lot of

00:45:10.860 equatorial places like south africa colombia peru ecuador um and there's a lot of mosquitoes

00:45:16.980 in places. And so, you know, and they're likely to, and you need, for example, to go to South

00:45:22.840 Africa from South America, you need a yellow fever vaccine and proof of it too, because South Africa 1.00

00:45:29.020 won't let anybody in who hasn't got a vaccine for yellow fever. So these are things you have to

00:45:35.000 think about when you're traveling. You might not be totally 100% sold on vaccines, but on the other

00:45:42.020 hand, you can't go certain places without. Would you say when it comes to COVID-19, you would get

00:45:48.620 it because you're technically in like a higher risk because of your age? Or like if you were

00:45:53.840 younger, would you get it? There's a ton of vaccines you should get at my age. You should

00:45:57.100 get a shingles vaccine. I had chicken pox when I was young. Anybody who has chicken pox, and that's

00:46:02.280 a virus, right? Right. Anybody who's ever had chicken pox still retains that virus in their

00:46:06.900 body and late in life it can come out as a very painful form of herpes on the body and it's very

00:46:15.640 painful I even knew a guy who killed himself because he couldn't take the pain and so he

00:46:21.280 shot himself with his gun he was 78 but still you know there's a shingles vaccine out now you might

00:46:28.860 still get shingles after the vaccine but it'll be a more muted less painful addition and there's

00:46:34.600 other vaccines to take and so you have to think about them now if the people don't want to have

00:46:39.640 a vaccine that's fine i'm you know to me you're doing your kids a disservice by not getting some 1.00

00:46:44.800 for them but that's the thing about letting people be parents they get to make stupid decisions 0.98

00:46:51.040 because that's their right you know and when and we say well it's child abuse listen as long as 0.99

00:46:56.520 they're not making the kid do puberty blockers or having their breasts lopped off or some kind 0.99

00:47:00.920 weird shit yeah that's permanent um before they're 18 people get to make these decisions parents get 0.99

00:47:06.840 to be parents even crazy mormon parents religious parents cult parents muslim parents you know you've 1.00

00:47:13.780 got to give parents a certain amount of rights or they can't parent right and uh for egregious 0.90

00:47:21.460 examples of violence against children or abuse against children the state has a role to intervene

00:47:26.280 But we've got to give parents a lot of leeway in what they do.

00:47:29.620 I even say, you know, even when they get the crazy Jehovah's Witnesses and they don't like blood transfusions and their kid dies, I'm going, well, this is their deal they made with God. 1.00

00:47:39.000 It seems stupid to me. 1.00

00:47:40.620 It seems ridiculous to you. 1.00

00:47:42.400 Their child might have died because they're idiots. 1.00

00:47:44.920 But did they do a criminal act? 1.00

00:47:47.300 Do they have mens rea of a criminal act?

00:47:49.080 No, they don't.

00:47:50.100 They really believe this is what their God wants. 1.00

00:47:53.020 Stupid as it is. 1.00

00:47:54.240 Right. 1.00

00:47:54.600 It's what we allow people to decide as parents, as adults who are guardians over children, because the alternative is that the state is going to be the guardian.

00:48:03.540 And the state's a terrible guardian of us all, let alone children.

00:48:07.320 Right. Right. So. So you think our rights as Canadians, are they going to slowly be taken away under the guise of COVID-19?

00:48:15.300 They come and go. They ebb and flow. Rights are active and they're vibrant and they live.

00:48:22.140 As long as people are willing to defy the state, go to court and make a case and arouse public either consensus or support or the public rejects that.

00:48:34.280 And, you know, young people today have different priorities.

00:48:36.760 I dare say, unfortunately, worrisome priorities about pronouns, but not much about liberty, about about, you know, a lot of them want to be famous on social media.

00:48:49.200 And it's not really a job, but that's how they think of a job, getting people to pay them to do something on social media or they're going to be disappointed.

00:48:57.920 You saw the you saw the toilet seat licking, right?

00:49:01.420 Yes, but you never know if that's real or not, like whether that was staged.

00:49:05.280 that could have been the toilet in their own bathroom and perfectly clean that she made it 0.99

00:49:09.240 look like it was on an airplane but the point still stands it's like hey look at me i'm young

00:49:12.920 i'm going to be famous this is my this is why i'm spending my time doing this yeah well you know

00:49:18.780 that's gone because how many was there one million two three four five million women you know basically 1.00

00:49:24.280 showing their their body off yeah you know in these there's millions of women showing how gorgeous 1.00

00:49:30.560 they are and hoping that to get a patreon account or some kind of like only fans you know only fans

00:49:36.820 i love that only fans you know and the thing is whenever i see these women if i see any woman 1.00

00:49:42.660 that looks too attractive on as trying to be a friend on facebook i go to their page always and

00:49:48.160 i look and it's always you know a sex page of some kind goodbye right no e-girls i hear you

00:49:54.480 so i i should have asked this earlier you're someone who's been in confinement before any

00:49:58.940 advice for people who are in confinement like have you picked up any new hobbies well here's

00:50:04.580 the thing about prison you know when you're gonna get out that's the funny thing about this we don't

00:50:09.660 know when we're gonna fucking get out right it's like being sentenced to an indefinite prison 0.92

00:50:14.480 sentence that's maddening in other words the state can renew my prison sentence whenever it feels like 0.94

00:50:20.060 it and i have no say at least when i get went to jail it was for three months for passing a joint

00:50:25.800 which is true in saskatoon correct i got a three-month sentence for passing a joint um or

00:50:30.940 it's seven days or it's overnight or in my case five years in the united states i knew when i was

00:50:36.880 gonna get out and it would be over right but here we're like under indefinite house arrest and we

00:50:42.560 don't know when it's going to be over that to me is the frustrating part i can't make any plans

00:50:47.360 i can't do anything right i don't know when anything is going to start up again everybody

00:50:52.400 I need to do business with is closed from Passport Canada to Services Canada to all the people I do

00:50:58.600 business with. It's all closed. So I can make no plans. No one knows anything about when any of us

00:51:04.820 are opening. So you sit here waiting, waiting, waiting. So much uncertainty. Wrong movie. But

00:51:12.320 essentially, a prison sentence at least has an ending. Right, right. So your frustrations right

00:51:19.000 now i mean as this situation develops are you hoping to have any form of activism to hold

00:51:25.780 certain people accountable or like well i'd like to ideally run in the next election for the ppc

00:51:32.140 um but i'm not sure they'd take me as a candidate uh because although last time the can i really

00:51:40.140 enjoyed the ppc campaign because they let each candidate formulate their own drug policy which

00:51:45.120 i thought was great right i'm sure there's a few anti-drug prohibitionist voices in the ppc but most

00:51:51.440 people contacted me wanted to know what the proper advice was about legalizing drugs or prisons or

00:51:57.360 cannabis and i gave them my opinion and many of them said that in their campaign no other party

00:52:02.660 will let you do that everybody has to be a trained seal for the ndp liberals conservatives and the

00:52:07.960 greens you can't go around making your own yeah like but but our people were allowed to say no

00:52:15.040 i think all drugs should be legal or other people were free to say no i don't think we should be

00:52:20.020 doing that at all yeah right so i like the fact that maxim vernia at no point in the campaign did

00:52:25.900 i ever hear him tell any candidate that's too off the wall that's out of the question that's around

00:52:32.040 you know beyond the pale yeah now typically we attracted good candidates who didn't really have

00:52:37.260 any kooky ideas and who liked the the script that we were given and i did too i thought the campaign

00:52:43.100 was great i have i love max bernie i think 100 beside behind behind him i can't suggest any

00:52:50.440 improvements anything about the guy i don't like uh i thought it was an awesome campaign i thought

00:52:55.760 warren kinsella and the conservative slander campaign was shockingly effective unethical

00:53:02.100 it was shockingly effective i could never ever support the conservative party in any way whatsoever

00:53:07.520 ever again yeah so um so i learned a lot in that campaign and you know all campaigns are the same 0.99

00:53:15.160 everybody's incredibly ignorant policy is rarely discussed it's all about stupid check it's yeah 0.62

00:53:22.080 it's all and you know you were a candidate totally disturbed i didn't know going in but uh yeah i 0.99

00:53:27.600 learned i learned all about it oh it's it's a terrible process let me talk to you about policy 0.99

00:53:31.760 get out of here you racist scum and it's like oh my god you're the only person i've ever been with 1.00

00:53:37.020 where someone yelled at me in a restaurant and called me a sexist racist piece of shit 1.00

00:53:42.380 and i held you responsible greg no actually it was me i was talking loudly but not that 0.99

00:53:48.940 but not about anything that i thought was remotely offensive and yet we had that whole bar upset 0.97

00:53:54.560 it was why because in elections people are all fucking hysterical you know they're like i hate 0.96

00:54:01.280 that guy and they love this guy and none of it's rational none of it makes any sense we were having 0.89

00:54:07.480 fun i remember we were we were having fun we were having a fun conversation and uh and we managed

00:54:13.900 to piss off everybody um and it was a drive-by insult by the way to paint a picture for everybody 0.83

00:54:19.220 we're at a bar it's it's later on bloor street we're talking about some fun stuff obviously the

00:54:24.200 campaigns going on so we're talking about like political stuff and then these people these two

00:54:28.200 elder women are as they're walking out i wouldn't say elder but like maybe 40s 50s and they're just 1.00

00:54:32.480 like we heard what you were saying you're you're you're a racist uh sexist and piece of shit the 0.99

00:54:37.760 trifecta and then the one guy walks out he gives the thumb he goes white power yeah oh yeah and i'm 1.00

00:54:43.660 thinking what the fuck are you talking about right so it was so real it was it was strange so many 0.98

00:54:50.020 and that all candidates meeting people were all pissing vinegar there calling the police to throw 0.99

00:54:55.300 someone out because that was it was like oh man yeah it's it's all degenerated right and it's all

00:55:01.860 a dog and pony show none of nothing serious is discussed at any of those meetings you get like 1.00

00:55:07.300 30 seconds to answer complex questions and some people are morons and can't even say anything 0.99

00:55:12.720 good in their one or two minutes that they've got or the one the one green party guy as usual you 0.97

00:55:18.100 made the most sense to me and you got universally booed not always sometimes i got people to nah

00:55:24.140 you got booed pretty well all the time yo you were there for my opening statement my opening

00:55:28.200 statement at that one debate was fantastic i i asked for the footage and they're like yeah we

00:55:32.220 can't find it yeah yeah i got i saw your entire thing at the at the one i went to i think i went

00:55:37.300 to two of yours but um but that one of that church that was something else i got i got claps in the

00:55:42.680 opening statement okay i did yeah but that's polite clapping they secretly think you're a

00:55:48.900 bad person well it wasn't even that secret well it was on the news it was in the news it was so

00:55:54.720 funny because the communist party candidate i didn't think we were going to talk about this

00:55:58.140 but the communist party candidate in his opening statement he's like toronto star said this about

00:56:02.460 the ppc and i was just like i've actually made youtube videos debunking that article and how

00:56:06.980 ridiculous it is but it's nice that you're broadcasting it here anyway thank you so much

00:56:13.040 for your time mark emory happy 420 thanks for being the first ever guest on quarantine well

00:56:18.260 you know what you know i'm healthy uh we live in canada so there's some good things to think i guess 0.98

00:56:24.720 um but you know cannabis legalization was such a fuck up such a shit show yeah that it's sort 0.99

00:56:31.640 of appropriate that by 2020 the 420 is turned into like a totalitarian authoritarian pot nightmare 0.99

00:56:38.920 because the whole legalization was a nightmare and it's culminated in this horrific awful 420

00:56:44.640 yeah yeah hopefully we'll see better days soon where we can you know puff up outside in the

00:56:51.520 sunshine by july would be nice i hope july isn't not like you know not out of the not out of the

00:56:58.840 cards at this point but uh just so you know rapes and riots peak in all in in august yes

00:57:08.680 so your idea of some idyllic summer months around the world when there's food riots and 35 40

00:57:15.780 degrees centigrade temperatures boiling everybody's brain who doesn't have air conditioning right um

00:57:21.780 This is not a good environment for poverty, for food riots, for starvation, for economic dislocation, for unemployment at 20, 30 percent.

00:57:33.620 Believe me, it's going to be a difficult summer this year.

00:57:36.120 Well, I'm so glad to hear, Mark, that you are, despite the situation right now, despite it not being the brightest, you're like, you know what?

00:57:45.100 If I get a chance, I would like to run.

00:57:47.020 I would like to make a difference.

00:57:48.040 And that really is inspirational to me to hear that you still have hope, you still have, you know, energy to make a difference.

00:57:54.860 Well, listen, you should even have fun during the decline of Western civilization.

00:57:58.100 That's what we're doing here.

00:57:59.040 Otherwise, you can't get through it.

00:58:00.940 You know, you're going to have to find if we didn't laugh, we would have to cry is essentially it.

00:58:06.560 Now, it's going to be hard to find the humor in other people's misery around the world when we see people going into poverty, when we see the poor rioting in countries all around the world,

00:58:16.560 When we see infrastructure crumbling because there's no money to fix it anymore.

00:58:21.480 When we see hospitals being underserviced because we're not collecting the taxes to pay for them.

00:58:27.300 When we see our currency debased and inflated by printing up billions of dollars of money that future generations may or may not pay back.

00:58:37.120 Yeah. And we see our pension funds collapsing. So a lot of old people won't get money, won't get dividends, won't get their income they rely on. And there's just so many negative things going to happen. And we've never experienced them before. But I've read about them. And I had parents that went through them. And I grew up working at age seven and having my first business when I was nine. And my first successful business when I was 11.

00:59:03.640 so you know i'm used to working all my life and i'm used to seeing the benefits of what work can

00:59:10.120 do and i've also seen the ravages of what not having work does to poor people oh i'm hoping

00:59:17.520 that people can can unify in being you know part of the group that is the last person to get the

00:59:24.360 information we like it seems that you know most people are getting information that are going

00:59:29.640 through so many different filters and we just seem to be completely helpless and i hope all

00:59:34.000 these people that are feeling helpless right now realize that you know we're at the bottom of the

00:59:39.740 totem pole here in terms of getting the information and hopefully we can hold hold those accountable

00:59:43.900 to that can help prevent this from happening again you know it's probably not happening as

00:59:50.020 much as i wish it were people probably aren't reading books like i would like to hope they are

00:59:54.460 We're all getting it through the screens, and screens are so superficial and brief and have a lot of ideology in it, whereas books may have ideology, but there's a substantiation involved where they have to produce evidence and facts and stuff to be convincing.

01:00:11.700 Read books.

01:00:12.040 I read 140 books in prison, and it was one of the great things that I was able to do in prison, along with learn a musical instrument.

01:00:19.700 With that, thank you so much, Mark Emery.

01:00:22.640 Thanks for coming out.

01:05:47.980 Stay tuned

01:05:48.600 talking about the suspicious suicide of some pedophile millionaire guy who's connected with

01:05:58.040 a bunch of really powerful people including a lot of different politicians is so two days ago boring

01:06:04.020 ladies and gentlemen thank you so much for watching the very first episode maybe the only

01:06:12.640 episode, who knows, of Quarantine Tonight. I had a great time making it and filming it. I'm kind

01:06:21.440 of tired out now. This is The Lounge. Welcome to The Lounge. It's me and my computer chair,

01:06:29.260 but I like to call it The Lounge because this is where we relax. This is where we chill out after

01:06:34.740 the show. We get to reflect, reflect on the journey we've had over the past, you know,

01:06:42.180 a little while in quarantine tonight, being stuck inside. What did we learn tonight being stuck

01:06:46.200 inside? I will point out the obvious. Look at my neck beard. Look, it's taking on a life of its own.

01:06:58.780 I was going to shave before tonight, but I thought maybe I can make a bit out of this.

01:07:06.880 you know what i mean maybe i can make a bit out of this um but yeah i mean along with that i've

01:07:14.960 also been saving a lot of money on car insurance no i've been saving a lot of money on deodorant

01:07:20.400 i'm really not using it as much i don't really see uh the point if you know what i mean uh of

01:07:27.320 course when i leave the house but um it's been it's been a while i usually do grocery shopping

01:07:32.220 once every two weeks and then i try to get out i mean i try to get out for a run at least every

01:07:38.740 few days but i'm tempted to take a walk every day or something you know what i mean because the

01:07:44.640 weather's getting nice out there but i'm gonna get into some of the chats here uh some of the

01:07:49.760 super chats thank you so much for donating that's fantastic um veterans voice ppc 2019 says mark

01:07:58.500 thanks for your service okay oh oh mark yeah mark mark emory of course um yeah that was a that was

01:08:07.480 a fantastic interview with mark um i can post i can post the whole thing if you'd like uh we did

01:08:13.320 talk for a lot longer than that he got a lot more into into finances and other things but um yeah i

01:08:19.920 was i was going into the conversation thinking i want to make this positive i want to have a

01:08:23.740 positive spin on this the whole point of the show is to like you know make light of what's going on

01:08:27.360 And right away he's just like

01:08:30.120 There's going to be sex robots 1.00

01:08:31.520 You're not going to be able to see your loved ones

01:08:33.780 This is the future

01:08:35.120 And

01:08:36.220 Not quite the content I was looking for

01:08:40.120 For the show but I really appreciate the honesty

01:08:42.140 And you know what he's right

01:08:43.120 He's right he's got a point

01:08:45.020 And I mean part of being

01:08:48.140 Positive is being realistic right

01:08:49.860 Because if you're not being realistic then

01:08:51.620 Then what are you doing

01:08:53.220 You're deluding yourself

01:08:56.700 And I did kind of mention it in that interview.

01:08:59.120 I really think a lot of Canadians were in this kind of almost like a purgatory or like this kind of suspended in air kind of place where we think things, oh, May 1st, things will go back to normal, right?

01:09:15.020 Okay, well, May 15th, things will go back to normal, right?

01:09:18.220 Okay, well, June 1st, things will go back to normal, right?

01:09:21.140 And, yeah, I mean, part of me wants to think that.

01:09:25.780 part of me wishes that were the case. I, I, I wish I would, I would, I would love that.

01:09:32.360 Um, but again, we gotta be realistic about this. We gotta be realistic about this.

01:09:39.620 Uh, another super chat from veterans voice PPC 2019, 14 bucks. Thanks man. Thank you so much.

01:09:46.840 I know who you are. I know who you are. Great guy. Uh, you should check out his content actually.

01:09:53.680 veterans voice ppc 2019 he's got quite a story to tell and he's uh you know like everybody in chat

01:10:00.480 i'm sure we're all patriots of some kind i know that's not like that's kind of like a dirty word

01:10:05.480 in canada but it shouldn't be and um yeah but uh veterans voice says a positive a positive out of

01:10:13.340 the coronavirus for me is that most people are going to realize how important freedom and freedom

01:10:17.940 of speech are yes in order to be able to live the life that we want to be happy i totally agree

01:10:28.020 big agree there i um i i i mean i don't like to call like my friends normie friends however i i

01:10:36.100 feel like we consume different parts of news we care more or less about you know scrutinizing and

01:10:42.180 holding leaders to account and that's just the way it is that's just the way it is and you know

01:10:46.980 maybe normie is a bad word but it's it's kind of easy to say it's easy to kind of like explain i

01:10:51.400 guess but yeah i i've i mentioned the the soul searching um uh in the interview with mark i'm

01:11:00.680 not sure if i cut that part out but i think a lot of people are at home kind of reflecting on

01:11:04.520 you know their value system what they really um they really want out of life and i think

01:11:10.200 specifically especially for canadians and canadian politics uh i think i'm hoping a lot of canadians

01:11:17.560 are kind of realizing how apathetic they may be or may have been um i i um yeah i mean i it was kind

01:11:29.920 of i've been on my political journey i've been saying oh man you know a lot of canadians do not

01:11:36.420 engaged with politics beyond the headline you know there's not much going on just beyond the

01:11:42.180 quite literally what the headline says and if and if you know anything about media spin you know

01:11:48.400 that's that's not good that's not a good thing at all thank you veterans voice ppc 2019 for the

01:11:55.780 super chats i really appreciate it uh and then we got 20 from silverman and buddy thanks so much big

01:12:02.480 guy. Um, uh, yeah, guys, it means a lot. It means a lot, you know, no more pogos for me. You know,

01:12:10.900 we're going to get the gourmet pogos. A friend of mine actually sent a message to me, a picture

01:12:16.420 of a farm boy, you know, the grocery store farm boy. It's kind of like a more like fancy grocery

01:12:24.700 store. Um, I go there when I can. Uh, maybe I'll go with this $20, but, uh, he sent me a photo of

01:12:32.800 farm boy corn dogs or like pogos, same thing. And they looked pretty good. They looked pretty good.

01:12:39.600 They looked a lot because they weren't frozen. You know, they were not frozen like the, uh,

01:12:43.420 the other persuasion. Um, let's keep reading through chat here. Let's see how you guys, uh,

01:12:48.980 enjoyed the show i'm still working out a lot of tech tech things uh what is a super chat island

01:12:55.420 lover a super chat is at the bottom there when you send a chat there might be like a little

01:13:01.420 dollar sign somewhere and then you click on that and you follow the instructions of

01:13:05.900 um yeah creating a super chat of how much you want to donate and that sort of thing

01:13:10.900 which is fantastic um again i really appreciate it help support the channel help support me

01:13:17.020 i i would love uh to you know pursue doing more stuff like this and i mean i mean it's

01:13:25.440 it's kind of messed up to say but uh you know this this lockdown has given me more time

01:13:33.560 and uh almost doing creative stuff out of necessity you know because like being stuck

01:13:37.920 inside it's like oh what could i do what could i do in this whole like like um this live streaming

01:13:42.700 world you know this live streaming world but thank you so much for your feedback guys

01:13:46.820 I did highlight a few chats from earlier.

01:13:52.980 Again, Veterans Voice PPC, nonpolitical action by citizens in a democracy equals communism or fascism.

01:14:00.040 Because that's what you get if you don't stand up.

01:14:04.440 And in many ways, that's why I ended up joining politics in the first place.

01:14:08.920 I was tired of just being on Reddit and arguing with strangers and being upset about politics.

01:14:14.360 I thought, maybe I can actually do something.

01:14:15.900 Maybe I can actually make a difference.

01:14:17.940 And then Max and the PPC came in along and I thought, hey, what do you know?

01:14:22.180 Island Lover earlier said, Mama Bear, I really hope everyone rises up.

01:14:28.120 I'm nervous about it.

01:14:29.360 Thank you for easing my worry a bit.

01:14:31.980 You know, it's really great to, I mean, in a sense, sometimes when we're online, it can be an echo chamber.

01:14:38.260 But it's great to connect with like-minded individuals, you know.

01:14:40.980 Like that's what it's all about.

01:14:41.980 That's what we got to keep doing.

01:14:43.280 And quite frankly, you know, based on the way money flows into the pockets of journalists and mainstream media outlets, utilizing social media and the Internet is going to be our best friend.

01:14:59.280 friend and so we need to if we have boomer tech issues we need to overcome them we need to learn

01:15:06.920 the softwares we need to learn the hardwares or reach out to people that do because um there's a

01:15:13.580 lot of nifty things that you can accomplish these days with with the internet and a little bit of

01:15:19.660 know-how but um and speaking of which actually hello to matthew baguetta he um well that's that's

01:15:29.480 his youtube name he said honestly the only covid updates i get are the daily trump briefings and

01:15:35.040 coffee with scott adams that's it i um i love scott adams i don't watch his streams nearly

01:15:42.340 enough he's the guy that wrote dilbert but like really intelligent guy and he's one of these

01:15:46.680 people that it's just easy has really articulate and very kind of calming takes on things that are

01:15:53.280 going on um and yeah trump briefings i feel matthew what you just did here i feel like it needs to be

01:16:00.860 a rule it should be a rule from now on i'm making it a rule in 2020 you need to tell me where you

01:16:08.020 get your information i don't care i don't care if you're my parents a friend or whatever you know

01:16:15.460 I feel like that's really important information.

01:16:18.700 It's pivotal information.

01:16:20.620 Oh, well, I only get everything from the CBC.

01:16:23.020 And it's like, okay, that's good information to know

01:16:25.420 because now I'm going to know a little bit more about your worldview.

01:16:29.160 And on top of that, it's not just about knowing or wanting to know,

01:16:32.840 but it's, I mean, we live in such a crazy time.

01:16:36.180 There's so many different feeds of different information, you know,

01:16:38.940 and knowing where you get where your sources are

01:16:41.720 is really going to be a game changer for a lot of people.

01:16:44.820 So thanks for the chat, Matthew. Good to see you. Joshua H. said earlier, problem is that we will be weaker immunity wise. Isolation is what caused the native population to be killed by smallpox.

01:16:57.140 I've heard about this

01:16:59.320 I don't want to call it a theory

01:17:01.060 it's probably

01:17:01.520 I mean I would see why it makes sense

01:17:03.540 especially for a respiratory illness

01:17:06.160 the idea being that

01:17:08.740 when we are cooped up inside

01:17:10.320 in these little boxes

01:17:11.620 it's actually not good for our respiratory system

01:17:14.440 because we're being very

01:17:16.000 oh what's the fancy word

01:17:17.940 not lethargic

01:17:18.800 whatever the word is for when you're sitting

01:17:20.960 sedentary

01:17:21.640 when you're sitting around a lot

01:17:22.940 and also I guess it's

01:17:26.880 Being cooped up inside helps a virus thrive, apparently.

01:17:31.020 Actually, you know what?

01:17:32.040 I think it was actually Mark Emery.

01:17:33.380 I saw him tweet an article about that.

01:17:36.400 A doctor basically saying, or some scientist basically saying,

01:17:39.520 you know what?

01:17:40.120 Being cooped up inside actually might help COVID spread a little bit more to our loved ones.

01:17:46.460 So it's an interesting take.

01:17:47.700 I think it's very valid being a respiratory illness.

01:17:51.820 Island Lover says they skipped animal testing, which has never been successful in the past.

01:17:56.880 with uh coronasars and they are rushing it i i um i think i said this in my monologue at the top

01:18:05.040 of the show i really do uh kind of avoid a lot of a lot of the news headlines these days and i

01:18:10.620 haven't been looking into the vaccines i've heard that uh there is a rabbit hole to go down i've

01:18:16.740 never i never would have imagined myself ever even consider being anti-vax as they say um

01:18:23.820 but i guess only simply because of the strange lockdown that's happening it has me like really

01:18:30.800 questioning authority figures even more so so i'm i'm don't worry i'm sitting on the fence i'm not

01:18:37.780 saying i'm like anti-vaxxer or pro that well i would say most of the time i'm pro-vaccination

01:18:42.780 and this isn't an interview i don't need to explain my views what are we talking about here

01:18:46.620 Okay. Um, thank you for the comment. Island lover. Linda Klemish. I don't know if I'm pronouncing

01:18:53.940 that right. Better reading books in prison than, um, other alternatives. Sideways, smile face,

01:19:00.580 LOL. Yeah. Yeah, probably. Yeah. Uh, insert soap joke here. Uh, no reading, man. Reading.

01:19:10.940 Absolutely. Absolutely. I found myself reading on this lockdown simply because I am tired of

01:19:15.820 looking at screens and it's kind of soothing to like the paper feel it and it's something you

01:19:23.840 can hold on to you know uh i think we covered it really in the in the interview with mark there

01:19:29.320 okay let me let me go back into the live chat here um another super chat from veterans voice

01:19:36.760 encore encore thank you thank you very much i uh i think this is something i'll try to do

01:19:43.300 regularly i mean kind of do you know it's well you know we'll see we'll see one one show at a

01:19:50.800 time one day at a time but i appreciate it i appreciate it veterans voice ppc 2019 mama bear

01:19:55.880 says beautiful song thank you thank you um yeah that i've had that i have a few crazy kind of

01:20:04.040 songs like that that i'd like to uh that will be at the end of the show if i keep doing it

01:20:09.200 and um so yeah i appreciate it um let's see here

01:20:14.160 the microchip freaks me out yeah i uh i don't even know what to say that that freaks me out too

01:20:25.360 i don't want a microchip in me more and more i'm i man i just crave fresh air silence you know

01:20:33.820 living in the woods of course I wouldn't want to live in the woods but getting back to nature

01:20:40.080 you know with all this locked up stuff being locked up it makes me think about how

01:20:44.800 do we really need all this convenience do I need to be able to watch sports as I walk into every

01:20:52.760 single room of my house all these all these things convenience we don't need Jim Cuthill

01:21:00.360 says hey jim canadians are sleepy and critical thinking is hard absolutely my friend absolutely

01:21:09.120 they are sleepy they are very sleepy critical thinking is hard and i think i myself personally

01:21:14.960 take that for granted i went to a university program that's kind of like all about critical

01:21:20.540 thinking so uh i definitely think i take that for granted and i really realized that during

01:21:26.580 out my campaign in the fall. But yeah, sleepy. I think there's a lot of, I've really been trying

01:21:33.720 to delve into the psychology of, of Canadians and like what makes them tick. And I actually,

01:21:39.480 I'm blessed having two loving parents who I think are almost like a good case study of the average,

01:21:46.120 the average boomer couple in Canada. And I'll tell you this story.

01:21:52.960 um when was it when was it i think i uh i released my i released this song called uh

01:22:02.560 you don't care about us what was it called again

01:22:07.060 i did it during my campaign it's it's kind of like a trudeau protest song

01:22:12.740 kind of a sad sounding song but um i wrote it back in like january 2019 so over a year old and

01:22:20.120 i shared it with my parents like hey like i don't like trudeau like that this is the song i made

01:22:25.060 and they're like oh oh yeah well everyone criticizes trudeau oh well okay greg we don't

01:22:31.000 want to hear that these are my parents speaking and then a few months later the snc lavalin thing

01:22:37.520 happened and i'm on the phone with him like hey what do you think about the the snc lavalin oh

01:22:45.080 well we never liked Trudeau we never we never liked him on the other end of this receiver

01:22:51.820 thinking like uh did you just completely do a 180 on your opinion of this person

01:22:57.460 so that's what we're dealing with with uh with sleepy Canadians and uh mom and dad if you're 0.79

01:23:07.960 watching i love you guys i love you guys and dad if you're watching stop watching cnn so much i'm

01:23:16.320 not gonna say stop watching it because i know maybe you're on the hook with them but like you

01:23:20.400 know just tone it down please tone it down a little bit i i i beg of you it gives the word

01:23:26.960 programming a whole new meeting let's see what's going on here

01:23:33.000 mama bear says hi mama bear um i think you said you saw my my artist channel before it's a

01:23:42.980 so big fan glad to see you out uh i really appreciate your support mama bear says i

01:23:49.580 mentioned it before you were here i know libs personally who knows tons of libs liberals and 1.00

01:23:55.780 none of them are willing to take the vaccine either that surprised me you know what's very

01:24:00.120 interesting about this whole COVID-19 situation is it doesn't matter the political background

01:24:07.920 it's it's because it's this crisis it has this sort of fight or flight response that we're getting

01:24:14.320 from people and it doesn't matter your political background the way people are reacting are all

01:24:18.600 over the map all over the map someone you would never expect you know maybe some you know far

01:24:24.160 left liberal and they would say we need to close the border and you know their opinion is just

01:24:29.220 kind of like whoa like once it's fight or flight it's you know people people respond in interesting

01:24:33.320 ways so it's definitely definitely very fascinating to see i'd say let's see here

01:24:41.640 the farm boy started in cornwall ontario started in started in the farm now i'm here

01:24:50.160 alma bear says get some flour and make your own homemade pogos are awesome pancake mix works too 1.00

01:24:58.700 okay wow all right might have to try that that sounds complicated though that sounds a little

01:25:07.840 bit like that's a lot of steps i just started to bake cookies for the first time i can't believe

01:25:13.700 how easy it is i've been sleeping on that cookie game it's it's it's incredible plus i get to make

01:25:18.440 my own. These are such sweet comments. Thank you. Grizzly Patriot in chat. Heads up. Good

01:25:29.840 to see you, man. Looking forward to Dr. V interview. Good luck. Second round. That

01:25:38.220 That is exciting.

01:25:43.480 More talk about homemade pogos.

01:25:46.500 Okay.

01:25:52.580 Veterans Voice says,

01:25:53.860 Sleepy Canadians and traditional liberals, 0.99

01:25:55.980 along with the now progressive liberals under Trudeau, 1.00

01:25:59.120 unfortunately, are hypocrites. 0.99

01:26:00.940 It actually should be their motto. 0.99

01:26:04.980 Yeah, that's such a...

01:26:08.220 As I just said a moment ago, the psychology, picking the brains of some of these people, some of these people, it's hard to wrap your head around.

01:26:20.240 i tweeted the other day and i could not believe i should i should make this part of a segment for

01:26:27.200 the next show probably because it's such a ignorant and hateful tweet from some person who

01:26:34.680 i'm guessing is part of that group whether it's like a liberal or a progressive 0.97

01:26:39.200 and their tweet said something like it was so basic it said all conservatives hate doctors

01:26:48.860 and hate people with expertise.

01:26:52.120 They especially hate women with expertise. 1.00

01:26:55.660 And it's like, 0.96

01:26:57.800 this is such an ignorance-sweeping generalization

01:27:02.280 that is on the same level of what real racism is.

01:27:09.880 And the most messed up part about that tweet

01:27:13.340 is it had like 2,000 likes

01:27:15.080 and people just ragging on like,

01:27:17.020 yeah conservatives hate women i totally agree with that and it's like do you guys not hear 0.65

01:27:21.580 yourselves on how you're is anyway you know what i'm not going to stare directly into the bis as

01:27:27.800 they say no more of that no more of that we're being positive on the show here you know what i

01:27:32.380 think i'm going to wrap it up there thank you so much for watching the very first episode of
