00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 539 AM, Friday, September the 4th. I hope you're
00:00:08.480 having a great Friday. Thank you so much for being here. I do appreciate it. No doubt you're
00:00:13.280 looking forward to the weekend. And you know, I've been up since about 2.30 this morning. I
00:00:19.220 had an idea for a video and more than an hour ago, I started rethinking it. I went up and
00:00:24.360 got another cup of coffee in the big blue mug. And I wanted to do a different video.
00:00:31.720 I didn't want to be disrespectful to a group of people that I admire very much. I think some
00:00:37.300 disrespect has been paid to a couple of young girls in this country, which I'll get to in just 1.00
00:00:42.020 a moment. And that got me thinking about the health of Canada. Is Canada a healthy country?
00:00:48.240 I mean that seriously. It's like every morning when you get up, you look at the news if you do
00:00:56.100 that, and Canada is careening from one catastrophe to the next. And it's not all caused by Donald
00:01:02.520 Trump, although that's a big part of it. I did a video on that the other day. Warren Kinsella
00:01:06.640 wrote that article, Everything is Trump, Trump, Trump. I actually said in a video the other day,
00:01:11.780 somebody should write a book about the psychology of the people who live in this country right now.
00:01:15.940 But is Canada a healthy country mentally? I don't think it is. Glenn Beck did a video yesterday. I'm
00:01:25.060 going to play a little clip of this. And this is what it was called. Canada is nuts. And I think
00:01:30.940 Glenn Beck is right here. I don't think a lot of Canadians are healthy. And the country isn't 1.00
00:01:36.660 healthy because of it. You know, they've been programmed. They've been brainwashed by the
00:01:40.940 Liberal government. They've been psyoped by the Liberal government. This isn't healthy. We're not
00:01:45.920 healthy mentally, psychologically, economically, militarily as well. We're going to get to that in
00:01:51.780 just a moment. That's what Glenn Beck is talking about in the clip I'm going to show you in just
00:01:55.980 a moment. Now, this is something that I showed within the last couple of days, but for those of
00:02:01.320 you who haven't seen it, you need some reference material here. But Glenn's right. Canada is going
00:02:06.460 nuts. We need an intervention here. Every morning you wake up and it's more evident. And this is
00:02:13.880 the clip that most of us pointed out was absolutely ridiculous. What a stupid question. 1.00
00:02:19.460 But this is how the news media has been brainwashed, has been programmed by the 1.00
00:02:24.700 liberal government as well. This is the question that the CTV or global reporter, can't remember
00:02:30.000 which, asks of a United States admiral, and here is Glenn Beck and his take on what transpired
00:02:37.200 in this interaction. Canada is going nuts. Let me explain. There's an admiral, and he was speaking
00:02:48.660 at one of the war games, and I want to play the global news reporter and what he asked this
00:02:54.520 admiral and listen to his attitude listen to his question and listen to what the admiral says go
00:03:01.680 ahead play would you obey an order to launch military action against captain
00:03:05.740 um i i'm yeah i i find that i find that scenario to be uh absolutely and utterly preposterous
00:03:17.860 And so I follow the orders of the Commander-in-Chief, but that is a needlessly emotional question.
00:03:30.380 Also, Canada is a close ally.
00:03:33.860 I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult you.
00:03:35.720 No, no, but you didn't answer the question.
00:03:39.400 I'm sorry?
00:03:39.780 You didn't answer the question.
00:03:41.400 I said I follow the orders of the President and I find it to be a...
00:03:45.860 Would you ask me, please, also, what my attack plans are for the Martians? 0.95
00:03:52.960 You want to dismiss it, by all means? 0.97
00:03:54.880 Yes, sir.
00:03:55.680 I don't dismiss you, but I do dismiss the question.
00:04:00.740 Okay.
00:04:01.820 So that is a preposterous question, okay?
00:04:05.100 Of course he has to answer, I follow the instructions of the commander of the United States,
00:04:11.000 the president of the United States.
00:04:11.840 He's in uniform.
00:04:12.980 That's what he does.
00:04:14.740 And, you know, there are millions of Canadians who think Donald Trump is going to send troops
00:04:21.660 across the border and take over Canada. And Beck actually addresses that in the video. Again,
00:04:28.800 link in the description for it. But the thing is, you and I look at this and we hear this and we
00:04:33.160 think how stupid this is. We're not mentally unwell. We're not mentally unhealthy like many 1.00
00:04:39.060 Canadians are. And Beck says, you know what, instead of the news media pointing out the
00:04:45.760 absurdity of what this guy asks, they double down on it. Here, this is how he followed up
00:04:52.320 his response to that stupid question by that reporter here in Canada. 0.99
00:04:57.020 And then it goes to the Ottawa Citizen, another Canadian news organization, 0.99
00:05:01.920 and they say that the U.S. admiral dodges questions about attacking Canada
00:05:08.400 but acknowledges he would follow Trump's orders.
00:05:11.100 He wasn't dodging. 0.98
00:05:12.780 He's saying that's a ridiculous question. 0.98
00:05:15.360 I'm not going to answer ridiculous questions. 0.99
00:05:19.240 Not going to. 0.92
00:05:21.100 That's not dodging. 1.00
00:05:22.400 That's a stupid question. 1.00
00:05:24.860 We are allies. 1.00
00:05:27.820 There are no...
00:05:28.740 You know what?
00:05:29.460 Let me...
00:05:29.900 Here's what I would say.
00:05:30.560 See, this is why I could never be in government, because here's what I would say. 0.99
00:05:33.660 That's the dumbest question I've ever heard. 1.00
00:05:36.400 The dumbest question. 1.00
00:05:38.220 First of all, we're allies. 1.00
00:05:41.080 What is wrong with you?
00:05:43.640 You need a medical checkup for that question.
00:05:47.300 They need a medical checkup.
00:05:49.020 They need a mental health checkup.
00:05:51.920 But is it any wonder why so many Canadians are not mentally well and the country is not healthy?
00:05:58.060 because this is the news media asking this preposterous question. And then they get
00:06:04.080 confirmation of this stupidity by reading the Ottawa Citizen. Is there any wonder why so many 1.00
00:06:08.680 people think this way? It's not healthy. The country's not healthy right now. And then you
00:06:14.380 get something like this. This is disrespectful. And you know, you may say that this is the Canadian
00:06:20.860 military. These are cadets. They're likely under the age of 18. I blurred out their faces. Pete
00:06:26.240 Hegseth did not. These are girls. Psychologically, this is probably not good. They're probably 1.00
00:06:34.620 sitting at home crying over this. They're cadets. But is this picture untrue? Is this not what you
00:06:42.500 think about when you think about the Canadian military? Now, don't get me wrong. I'll do
00:06:46.120 respect to anybody in the military. When I meet somebody in the military, I say, thank you for
00:06:51.300 your service, and I mean it. And there are some badasses in the military. But we know they've
00:06:57.780 been lowering the standards. Anybody can get in the military right now, regardless of your
00:07:01.840 physical fitness, your mental fitness. It's just what we do in Canada, because Canada's not mentally
00:07:08.440 healthy. Canada's not a healthy country anymore. People are losing their, pardon me, they're losing
00:07:14.340 their shit over this because Pete Hegseth did this. And again, I think it's disrespectful to 0.99
00:07:18.880 these young girls. I have a grandson who's in the cadets. He's only 14. I would hate it if they put
00:07:24.660 him on there. But is it untrue, that picture? I don't think it is. We don't have a healthy
00:07:32.040 Canadian military. I mean, Scott Besant made a comment about the Canadian Navy the other day,
00:07:39.280 and people are losing it over that as well. I think this is very unfortunate that Prime
00:07:44.220 Minister Carney has turned this into a political shouting match.
00:07:49.300 I mean, we're not at war with Canada.
00:07:50.760 How are we going to be at war with Canada?
00:07:52.100 They're going to take their two submarines from the Edmonds and Mall and sick them on us?
00:07:56.620 He was making a joke here.
00:07:59.020 But when I heard him say this, I thought, you know, he's making a good point.
00:08:05.240 And honestly, he's telling the truth.
00:08:07.820 But people took great offense to this.
00:08:09.820 This is a slight on the Canadian military.
00:08:11.720 No, he's pointing out the obvious here, folks. But this is the attitude of Canadians. So many
00:08:17.180 Canadians now, this isn't healthy. It's the same when it comes to building things. Carney tells 0.52
00:08:22.900 you we're going to build like we've never built before. You know, we're going to build faster
00:08:26.460 than we've ever done before. So he has to set up an office that costs billions of dollars
00:08:30.760 to do things that the private sector can already do. People think that's just fine.
00:08:35.840 not healthy. The same thing with housing. Tens of billions of dollars of your money going into
00:08:42.140 something the private sector can do better. Not healthy. We have to set up a program to feed
00:08:50.120 children, a federal program to feed children at schools now. And this is, again, I did a video
00:08:56.160 on this not long ago, but within the last week, this is some kind of victory for Canada. This is
00:09:02.180 what people think. Isn't that great? We have to feed children because people can't afford food
00:09:06.640 for their children anymore in this country. That's not healthy. And we actually have to
00:09:10.580 subsidize 12 million people in this country, more than a quarter of the population. We have
00:09:16.620 to subsidize their food because they can't afford it anymore. And this is perfectly fine.
00:09:22.720 The conservatives point out this is a failure and they are hammered by the media and the Canadian
00:09:28.760 in public over this, but this is not healthy. And this is day after day after day. The country
00:09:34.560 is not healthy, folks. It's so evident to see. And this is why I want out of this country.
00:09:42.140 This is why we need to vote for option two when it comes to the referendum in the fall.
00:09:46.440 This is why we eventually need to vote for Alberta to leave the country, because so many of the
00:09:51.860 people in Alberta and so many of you people around this country are realizing what I am realizing.
00:09:57.340 This isn't healthy.
00:09:58.260 This isn't good.
00:09:58.940 The country's not doing well.
00:10:00.540 It's careening from one catastrophe to the next, and you see it every day, every morning
00:10:06.860 you wake up.
00:10:07.960 Thanks for watching.
