00:00:00.000 Welcome to Canada's Most Irreverent Talk Show.
00:00:06.700 This is The Andrew Lawton Show, brought to you by True North.
00:00:13.100 Coming up, beware the never-ending lockdown coming down the pipeline.
00:00:17.520 Also, where are the trees?
00:00:19.300 And Phelan McAleer on his new movie, Obamagate the Movie.
00:00:24.900 The Andrew Lawton Show starts right now.
00:00:30.000 If you liked Canada's first COVID-19 lockdown, you're going to love the sequel.
00:00:36.100 And even if you didn't like it, well, you're still stuck with the sequel anyway,
00:00:39.920 whether you bought a ticket or not.
00:00:42.160 Welcome to The Andrew Lawton Show, Canada's Most Irreverent Talk Show on True North.
00:00:47.620 And we are seeing now the very beginning stages of yet another round of lockdowns
00:00:53.520 that could span across the country, just when it feels like we're getting back to normal,
00:00:57.880 just when it feels like we're starting to reclaim our liberty.
00:01:01.840 Do you remember the heyday of this a few months ago?
00:01:04.380 I mean, it feels like it might have been a year ago now.
00:01:06.760 And people were getting arrested for playing basketball in parks.
00:01:11.200 People were getting trespassing tickets or lockdown tickets.
00:01:14.520 There was that one case in Hamilton where a guy who was dealing drugs
00:01:18.480 was actually fined for not having an essential business when he was operating a business.
00:01:23.940 So all of these things happened, and it seemed like we got over that hump.
00:01:27.940 And now politicians are all getting ready to slam the brakes on progress
00:01:31.600 and throw us back into lockdown.
00:01:33.700 And you know what?
00:01:34.460 If the first time around taught us anything, it's that most people will just go along with it.
00:01:40.780 Right now, we're seeing a profoundly dangerous opportunism coming from politicians
00:01:45.780 where they want to do two things.
00:01:47.860 Number one, they want to keep this lockdown to be the lockdown that never ends.
00:01:50.960 Yes, it goes on and on, my friends.
00:01:52.800 We can only hear, we can already hear Lamb Chop singing it there.
00:01:56.360 But also, they want to remake the Canadian economy, remake the world, quite frankly,
00:02:02.160 in an image that they wanted all the way through.
00:02:05.820 And I'm going to talk about both of those things right now
00:02:08.520 because we see these two forces at play,
00:02:11.200 and it tells us that something very dangerous is happening.
00:02:15.700 Now, just for Canadian political context,
00:02:17.920 we have the Parliament of Canada set to resume in just a couple of weeks.
00:02:22.080 There will be a throne speech.
00:02:23.480 Justin Trudeau will lay out his grand vision or perhaps grandiose vision for the country.
00:02:28.460 And if it fails to pass, we may be going back to the polls.
00:02:33.020 Or we could have a coalition government of sorts.
00:02:35.660 Or we could have, again, a very ineffective and ineffectual liberal government
00:02:40.120 continuing to limp along with the support of the even more ineffectual NDP,
00:02:44.760 who I don't even think could afford an election right now,
00:02:47.980 so probably are not exactly motivated to go back to the polls.
00:02:51.920 But this is going to be what happens.
00:02:53.580 And remember, all Trudeau needs is just one other party to support him,
00:02:58.120 be it the Bloc Québécois, the Conservatives, not likely, or the NDP.
00:03:03.600 And what Trudeau is trying to do right now is very smart.
00:03:06.280 He's trying to actually lay out a narrative
00:03:08.140 that if there is an election, it would be irresponsible.
00:03:12.460 So he's saying, I'm not going to call one.
00:03:14.880 But if he puts forward a plan and a throne speech that is so radical
00:03:18.520 that people have no choice but to vote against it in Parliament,
00:03:22.660 then he'll be able to say, well, listen, I mean, we tried.
00:03:25.300 We tried to govern.
00:03:26.160 We tried to bring everyone together.
00:03:27.900 We tried to save the country.
00:03:29.100 And all of these other demagogues, they didn't like it.
00:03:31.720 They called the election, not us.
00:03:33.940 I think Trudeau wants to go to the polls right now.
00:03:36.860 I think he knows that right now the Conservatives are still finding their sea legs.
00:03:40.460 The NDP have no money.
00:03:42.200 The Bloc Québécois is, well, the Bloc Québécois.
00:03:45.220 They're pretty much at the top of what they could expect to do.
00:03:49.020 And he knows that he's probably going to win again
00:03:51.460 and then would have another two, three, perhaps even four years.
00:03:54.960 But not if it looks like he's the one that forced that to happen.
00:03:59.000 Not if it looks like he's the one that actually pushed the election.
00:04:03.280 So we saw this.
00:04:04.420 And here's actually a line from Justin Trudeau's press conference
00:04:07.060 of him saying that an election is not on his radar at all.
00:04:10.940 I do not want an election.
00:04:12.560 I don't think Canadians want an election.
00:04:14.760 I think Canadians want politicians to work together, to serve them,
00:04:19.620 to build a better future for them and keep them safe during this COVID crisis.
00:04:23.880 Oh, so magnanimous.
00:04:25.060 Yeah, he's just governing.
00:04:26.220 He's just doing his thing.
00:04:27.500 And what he has said is that the pandemic is job one.
00:04:30.620 That's the goal.
00:04:31.260 He says the pandemic is the top priority, the only priority.
00:04:34.200 And when he puts out, I think it's $19 billion of additional spending,
00:04:39.020 it's all about Canada's post-COVID-19 relief.
00:04:43.160 Well, it's not entirely like that.
00:04:45.920 I mean, just take a look at what's on the radar.
00:04:47.860 The Liberals have been talking about their favorite thing,
00:04:51.300 their favorite pipe dream, a universal basic income,
00:04:53.800 which is basically money guaranteed to you regardless of whether you work.
00:04:59.440 It's a guaranteed income just for being you a certain amount a year.
00:05:02.960 Now, let me say, if I actually put my economist hat on,
00:05:06.820 which I don't actually have an economist hat because I'm not an economist,
00:05:09.780 but if I did and if I had such a hat,
00:05:11.740 I would say there is an argument to be made for a universal basic income if,
00:05:17.580 and this is a big if,
00:05:19.320 if it replaces and consolidates all other social assistance programs.
00:05:23.620 So if you take things like old age security, guaranteed income supplement,
00:05:28.060 welfare, Ontario disability or whatever province's disability,
00:05:32.080 all of these provincial federal programs that have a great deal of bureaucratic requirement
00:05:38.300 that are run by different departments that cost money in administration.
00:05:41.860 If you get rid of all of those and you have one simple,
00:05:44.700 easy program with one bureaucracy rather than a dozen,
00:05:48.420 I'd say, yeah, there's an argument that you could potentially save money.
00:05:51.720 But we know that's never going to happen.
00:05:53.540 We know that if we have a universal basic income,
00:05:57.180 it's going to be something that is so convoluted because again,
00:06:01.200 the cost of living in London, Ontario is different from the cost of living in Toronto,
00:06:05.180 Ontario, which is different from Kappas Casing, from Vancouver,
00:06:08.920 from Red Deer, Alberta, from Canmore, from Timbuktu.
00:06:11.760 I know Timbuktu is not in Canada,
00:06:13.100 but again, the cost of living is very different there than it is anywhere here.
00:06:16.400 So all of a sudden you have to have these regional variances
00:06:19.960 and then they're going to say,
00:06:21.160 oh, well, these circumstances are different than those circumstances.
00:06:23.960 And we're going to be right back to square one.
00:06:25.960 So I don't trust a liberal led universal basic income for that reason.
00:06:31.240 But I do know that right now the liberals have an absolutely prime opportunity
00:06:36.940 to do all of these things they want to do
00:06:39.180 because right now no one is focusing on how much they're spending.
00:06:42.180 No one is focusing on debt.
00:06:44.180 And the economy is in absolute shambles,
00:06:46.260 which means they have the ability to make these radical changes
00:06:49.640 because we're rebuilding something from the ashes of what was once there.
00:06:54.620 And this is why a lot of the people on the left,
00:06:57.380 not just in Canada, but around the world,
00:06:59.840 secretly love what's happening right now.
00:07:02.700 They secretly love this pandemic because it gives them license
00:07:06.640 to do all of these things that under any other circumstances
00:07:09.680 would be too radical and too out of left field,
00:07:13.000 both literally and figuratively for them to do.
00:07:15.240 Universal basic income is one example of this.
00:07:18.380 Every time this has come up, there's been a huge backlash to it.
00:07:21.680 But now, oh, it's top priority.
00:07:23.180 Now it might be happening.
00:07:24.280 It might be coming down.
00:07:25.740 And if UBI is in the throne speech,
00:07:28.320 there is the NDP support right there.
00:07:30.560 The NDP will back the liberals and they'll just go on and,
00:07:33.620 you know, fade off into the sunset and we'll be stuck with them.
00:07:36.460 The other thing that we see right now,
00:07:39.480 and this goes back months, by the way,
00:07:41.380 very radical climate alarmist policies
00:07:44.240 that, again, have had people almost giddy
00:07:47.000 about what's been happening with the world and the economy
00:07:50.060 in the wake of COVID-19.
00:07:51.940 Now, these are older headlines,
00:07:53.240 but I'm going to share them with you
00:07:54.540 just to establish what the stakes are on this.
00:07:57.680 Because we have people that, again,
00:07:59.540 are so focused on what the World Economic Forum,
00:08:02.240 the conference in Davos called the Great Reset.
00:08:05.520 They see this not as something
00:08:07.100 that China has unleashed on the world,
00:08:09.060 but they see it as something that,
00:08:10.520 oh, it's just a great opportunity for us
00:08:12.460 to do all of these things that we've wanted to do.
00:08:14.720 Here is one story, Sky News.
00:08:16.440 Pandemic reset can help in climate change fight,
00:08:19.420 says Rainn Wilson.
00:08:20.460 Now, Rainn Wilson's from the office.
00:08:22.240 I like him.
00:08:22.800 I like him as Dwight Schrute.
00:08:24.260 I don't like him as climate economist
00:08:26.020 and political theorist,
00:08:27.200 but it's more the headline
00:08:28.680 that a pandemic reset is what we need.
00:08:32.220 This one is even worse.
00:08:33.300 A story in The Guardian.
00:08:34.620 The COVID-19 crisis creates a chance
00:08:37.260 to reset economies on a sustainable footing.
00:08:41.200 The London School of Economics,
00:08:42.440 better recovery, better world,
00:08:44.280 resetting climate action
00:08:45.500 in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
00:08:49.020 From Al Jazeera,
00:08:49.840 coronavirus crisis offers big green opportunity.
00:08:54.260 And if you want to understand the divide
00:08:56.200 between the elites and ordinary people,
00:08:59.300 this is it.
00:09:00.280 Ordinary people whose restaurants are closing,
00:09:02.780 whose businesses are shut down,
00:09:04.280 who are dealing with mental health issues,
00:09:06.100 who are dealing with a health crisis,
00:09:07.600 who are dealing with political lockdown,
00:09:09.740 who are dealing with shutdowns of everything,
00:09:11.880 they are not seeing this as a grand opportunity.
00:09:15.640 Average people are feeling a lot of pain right now,
00:09:18.900 economic, health, social, societal, political,
00:09:22.260 all of these things.
00:09:23.400 Only a very narrow subset of the world.
00:09:26.000 And yeah, the global elites are thinking right now,
00:09:28.400 huh, you know, this is a great opportunity.
00:09:30.580 And of course it is,
00:09:31.520 because we've been saying no
00:09:33.380 to all of these things for years.
00:09:35.260 And finally, they are at a point
00:09:37.180 where they can ram them through
00:09:38.660 with very little repercussion.
00:09:40.580 And that's what I fear is coming down
00:09:42.480 when we see Trudeau's throne speech.
00:09:44.020 Items that if he were to have run on
00:09:45.780 in last year's election,
00:09:46.800 never would have been able to fly.
00:09:48.900 But now under these circumstances,
00:09:50.460 he can get away with it.
00:09:52.340 And certainly spending is in that case,
00:09:53.960 because he's always wanted to spend.
00:09:55.640 He's always felt unrestrained
00:09:57.140 by things like dollars and cents
00:09:58.780 and by debt and deficit.
00:10:00.340 And now he's got license of,
00:10:01.940 oh, well, there's a pandemic.
00:10:02.860 We have to spend.
00:10:04.660 And the fact of the matter is,
00:10:06.220 this is so important
00:10:07.440 when you compound it
00:10:08.580 with the other aspect of this
00:10:09.960 that I started off talking about.
00:10:11.260 The fact that this is not even something
00:10:13.480 that has an end in sight.
00:10:15.000 In fact, we're already looking at
00:10:16.480 potentially slamming the brakes
00:10:17.800 and hitting reverse on the reopening
00:10:20.000 because we've had an uptick in cases,
00:10:22.360 particularly Ontario.
00:10:23.940 A lot of these have been attributed
00:10:25.520 not to travel,
00:10:26.600 but to people going to parties
00:10:27.940 or going to bars.
00:10:29.080 There was a case in Windsor
00:10:30.480 a couple of weeks ago
00:10:31.420 where a series of house parties
00:10:33.080 led to some 30-odd cases.
00:10:35.360 There was a case in London, Ontario,
00:10:37.140 where I lived last week
00:10:38.400 or a week and a half ago,
00:10:39.840 where there was a university house party
00:10:42.060 and I think had five or six cases
00:10:43.660 or something like that.
00:10:45.580 And more and more people
00:10:46.540 are starting to be a bit more social
00:10:48.260 because, again,
00:10:49.000 they've been cooped up since March.
00:10:51.900 So here's the problem with this, though.
00:10:54.140 And we've gotten, you know,
00:10:55.520 that the nanny state coming down
00:10:56.980 and saying,
00:10:57.500 now, now, now, this isn't allowed.
00:10:59.080 Then you have the threats
00:11:00.520 that if this keeps going,
00:11:02.760 we're going to expand
00:11:04.340 the lockdown once again.
00:11:05.800 This is what Ontario Premier
00:11:07.100 Doug Ford said.
00:11:08.380 The second COVID-19 wave is coming.
00:11:10.820 If cases keep rising,
00:11:12.060 we may see another shutdown.
00:11:13.920 This is a story in the National Post.
00:11:16.800 And he says all options are on the table,
00:11:19.780 including further shutdowns.
00:11:22.940 Now, let's actually look at these numbers here
00:11:25.560 because the two issues go hand in hand.
00:11:27.640 All of these big rebuilding plans
00:11:29.420 that the government's put forward
00:11:30.660 are the same with how long
00:11:32.340 they can keep people locked down
00:11:33.720 and masked and all of these other things.
00:11:35.760 And yeah, there have been an increase in cases.
00:11:38.060 I'm looking at this one chart here.
00:11:39.840 And obviously, there are good days and bad days.
00:11:41.940 Some days you see major surges
00:11:43.860 and then it goes back down.
00:11:45.660 But despite reaching what looks like
00:11:47.620 a low point around the end of June
00:11:49.840 and staying kind of somewhat there
00:11:51.560 for the next month,
00:11:52.840 there started to be in the last couple of weeks
00:11:54.720 some upticks in cases.
00:11:56.220 And you can see that there
00:11:57.420 on, I think it was September 8th,
00:11:59.320 we added 1,479 new cases nationwide in Canada.
00:12:04.400 But I want you to look very carefully
00:12:06.200 at that trajectory.
00:12:07.160 So it's a bit small,
00:12:08.960 but you see it going up on average.
00:12:11.000 If you were to draw a line
00:12:11.960 from the bottom to the top,
00:12:13.180 it goes up.
00:12:14.440 Now let's flip to deaths.
00:12:18.100 Flat, completely flat.
00:12:21.260 From basically the beginning of July,
00:12:24.440 they have been in low double digits some days
00:12:27.460 and single digits most days.
00:12:29.680 And even when the cases go up,
00:12:31.700 and we put those side by side,
00:12:33.160 even when the cases go up,
00:12:35.340 the deaths are remaining constant.
00:12:37.720 And this is when data can be
00:12:39.660 very disingenuous and misleading.
00:12:42.300 And it's why Concerned Ontario Doctors,
00:12:44.100 which is a group of physicians in Ontario,
00:12:46.260 as the name suggests,
00:12:47.500 have said repeatedly,
00:12:48.620 number of cases is meaningless.
00:12:50.120 Number of cases is meaningless.
00:12:51.960 Right now, we've had testing backlogs,
00:12:54.460 people that have had to wait in line
00:12:55.660 for hours to get tested.
00:12:57.280 They are producing more and more tests right now
00:12:59.760 because there has been this new wave
00:13:01.540 of panic, at least.
00:13:03.420 And more people are getting tested,
00:13:04.840 which means more people are finding they have it.
00:13:06.940 But deaths and ICU stays
00:13:09.100 have remained somewhat constant.
00:13:11.040 Now, I'm not saying it will stay that way
00:13:13.160 if cases continue to rise.
00:13:15.700 But I'm saying that that has always been
00:13:18.120 the more accurate and effective measure
00:13:20.080 of where things are.
00:13:21.880 How many people are in hospital?
00:13:23.060 How many people are dying from this?
00:13:25.340 And those figures have remained flat
00:13:27.900 even when these cases have started
00:13:29.860 to have a bit of a resurgence.
00:13:32.020 So if anyone is using a few extra cases a day
00:13:36.300 as justification to go back
00:13:38.620 to where we were in March, April, May,
00:13:41.900 which was not fun and was not pleasant
00:13:44.260 for most people in this country,
00:13:45.740 there is a huge question mark as to why.
00:13:48.960 The whole point of flattening the curve
00:13:51.060 was supposed to be so as to not overwhelm
00:13:54.260 hospitals and morgues
00:13:56.080 and so as to not overwhelm
00:13:58.100 ICUs and healthcare workers.
00:14:00.020 We flattened the curve.
00:14:01.260 The curve is a flat line.
00:14:03.300 The curve is not even a curve at all anymore.
00:14:05.980 And as Mark Stein said,
00:14:07.080 the two-week flattened the curve
00:14:08.220 has now become the third quarter.
00:14:10.180 We're now in the third quarter
00:14:11.360 of the two-week shutdown.
00:14:12.840 So you have to preserve and protect your liberty
00:14:18.180 if politicians are going to turn this
00:14:19.840 into a never-ending lockdown.
00:14:21.720 And this is coming from someone, by the way,
00:14:23.760 who believes this is real.
00:14:25.460 I believe that, yes, there is a health issue
00:14:27.860 and I believe that people need to be protected.
00:14:30.300 And early on, I was very cautious
00:14:32.500 because we just didn't know.
00:14:34.000 We were seeing bodies lining the streets
00:14:35.600 in China and in Iran.
00:14:37.380 And I knew that it was a make-or-break situation
00:14:41.260 until we knew more.
00:14:42.480 Well, now we do know more.
00:14:43.940 And now we've adapted the world
00:14:45.580 so people can do things safely.
00:14:47.580 People can go to grocery stores safely.
00:14:49.520 People can go to churches safely.
00:14:51.280 People can go to 10,000-member rallies
00:14:53.420 without a single case coming from them.
00:14:56.940 So with saying that,
00:14:58.520 we know that there are safe ways
00:15:00.360 to operate in the world
00:15:01.620 that don't involve having to just sit in our homes
00:15:04.960 with the doors locked, the windows shut,
00:15:07.960 and hope for the government to come rescue us.
00:15:11.380 And that's the big point.
00:15:12.840 There is a big gap between,
00:15:15.000 I think this is terrible,
00:15:16.120 no one should leave their homes,
00:15:17.380 and I think this is a hoax,
00:15:18.960 and I don't care,
00:15:19.580 and I'm going to go around licking doorknobs.
00:15:21.320 And we need to have more people
00:15:23.180 that occupy that middle ground of saying,
00:15:24.900 yes, we should protect ourselves,
00:15:26.620 we should really protect the vulnerable,
00:15:28.340 but we should also maintain our civil liberties.
00:15:31.520 And again, I mean,
00:15:32.420 these people that are going to bars
00:15:33.600 and having house parties,
00:15:34.720 it sounds like they're not being particularly careful.
00:15:36.700 That is giving license to politicians
00:15:39.560 to do all of these things
00:15:41.860 to keep people locked down.
00:15:44.540 And if you don't want a never-ending lockdown,
00:15:46.460 we have to see a change in that.
00:15:48.020 There's no denying it.
00:15:49.100 I've said time and time again,
00:15:50.700 people need to, as individuals,
00:15:52.400 make the right decisions
00:15:53.280 so that government doesn't use it as justification
00:15:55.800 to force people into making certain decisions.
00:15:59.240 But you compound the economic aspect of this
00:16:03.220 with the liberty aspect,
00:16:04.860 and you look at just the numbers.
00:16:06.140 I mean, I showed you those charts.
00:16:07.720 Deaths are constant.
00:16:10.060 And I know that data are sometimes tricky,
00:16:13.200 and you can look at the same chart
00:16:14.800 and come up with different interpretations.
00:16:17.180 But I'm saying that when we've seen,
00:16:19.400 for the most part,
00:16:20.500 proportionately deaths and cases
00:16:23.120 in the early days of the pandemic,
00:16:24.660 when they were both going up and coming down,
00:16:26.760 now, despite this uptick in cases,
00:16:28.740 we're still seeing a flat line of deaths.
00:16:31.640 And beyond that, I would point out
00:16:33.260 that there's also an aspect of this
00:16:35.640 that needs to be stated.
00:16:38.160 And that is that when the cases are so low,
00:16:42.560 relatively speaking,
00:16:44.160 it can look more dramatically.
00:16:46.480 For example, if you have 10 cases one day
00:16:49.140 and 20 cases the next day,
00:16:50.600 that is, yes, a 100% jump.
00:16:52.900 But it's a lot easier to jump 100%
00:16:55.080 when you're going from 10 to 20
00:16:56.460 than it is when you're going
00:16:57.820 from 1,000 to 2,000 or something like that.
00:17:00.300 And it's easy that there's a margin of error
00:17:02.800 that is quite large
00:17:04.040 when you start trying to extrapolate
00:17:05.980 from these sorts of things.
00:17:06.920 So that's something to keep in mind as well.
00:17:09.180 Again, I'm not saying COVID-19 is a hoax.
00:17:11.600 I think this is real.
00:17:12.720 I think it's causing casualties.
00:17:14.760 I think that China has to be held accountable.
00:17:17.300 China has to be made to pay for this.
00:17:19.220 But I also don't think
00:17:20.720 that the panic helped anyone.
00:17:24.480 And what we're seeing now
00:17:25.560 is people having had their patience evaporate
00:17:29.760 with that panic and with that lockdown.
00:17:32.280 And what's government doing?
00:17:33.520 Wanting to start it all over again.
00:17:36.300 We've got to take a break.
00:17:37.460 When we come back,
00:17:38.100 more of The Andrew Lawton Show
00:17:39.440 here on True North.
00:17:40.420 You're tuned in to The Andrew Lawton Show.
00:17:51.160 Welcome back to The Andrew Lawton Show.
00:17:53.320 This is a segment I'm just going to like
00:17:55.160 do a lightning round of sorts
00:17:56.700 because I had so many stories
00:17:57.760 that I kind of had just opened in tabs
00:17:59.860 and I just want to make my Google Chrome
00:18:01.620 start working faster,
00:18:02.860 which means I need to start closing these tabs.
00:18:04.940 And I can just talk about these
00:18:06.420 in rapid succession
00:18:07.620 because a lot of them
00:18:08.700 are just kind of silly off the wall stories.
00:18:11.160 But before I get to that,
00:18:12.560 I do have to bring up
00:18:13.720 the two billion tree pledge.
00:18:16.100 So Justin Trudeau
00:18:16.860 in the last election
00:18:18.340 and Montreal,
00:18:19.520 and I was actually there
00:18:20.320 when this happened,
00:18:21.440 had pledged to plant
00:18:22.660 two billion trees
00:18:23.780 over the next 10 years.
00:18:25.420 And he did this
00:18:26.040 because he was desperately trying
00:18:27.320 to win the support and affection
00:18:28.700 of Greta Thunberg,
00:18:30.240 who had traveled to Montreal
00:18:32.000 to participate in the climate march
00:18:34.280 there that Trudeau was also in.
00:18:36.600 And there was that great photo
00:18:37.740 of Greta Thunberg
00:18:39.480 and Justin Trudeau meeting.
00:18:40.860 And you can just see
00:18:41.440 he's like prostrating himself
00:18:43.140 towards this.
00:18:44.020 I think she was like 16 at the time
00:18:45.500 or maybe 17.
00:18:46.960 And at the end of it,
00:18:47.820 she's like,
00:18:48.160 yeah, you know,
00:18:48.600 he's got some good ideas,
00:18:49.660 but, you know,
00:18:50.040 he's really not doing enough.
00:18:51.500 So he didn't even win the support
00:18:53.140 of, you know,
00:18:53.860 Queen Greta of Alarmistan.
00:18:56.280 But what ended up happening
00:18:57.480 was they made this pledge,
00:18:59.980 two billion trees.
00:19:01.280 Well, La Presse had come across this,
00:19:04.060 that in the last year
00:19:05.840 since he made this pledge,
00:19:07.160 not a single tree has been planted.
00:19:09.460 So of the two billion,
00:19:10.900 they crunched the numbers here
00:19:12.140 and he needed to plant
00:19:13.020 200 million a year,
00:19:14.500 which would have meant
00:19:15.740 500,000 a day roughly.
00:19:17.920 So 500,000 trees a day
00:19:19.580 since September of last year.
00:19:21.340 And they haven't done this.
00:19:22.580 So now they have only nine years,
00:19:24.140 which means they need to do
00:19:25.580 222 million trees a year
00:19:27.800 if they're going to meet this.
00:19:30.160 I mean, I like trees.
00:19:31.060 I like nature.
00:19:31.760 I don't think it's bad to have trees,
00:19:33.740 but it's just proving
00:19:35.060 that it was, again,
00:19:35.800 this number concocted
00:19:37.100 out of the sky.
00:19:38.360 And you remember his tweet was,
00:19:40.480 when he announced this,
00:19:42.100 it was,
00:19:42.600 we'll plant two billion trees
00:19:43.800 over the next 10 years.
00:19:44.920 That's it.
00:19:45.740 That's the tweet.
00:19:47.080 Well, right now,
00:19:47.920 you've planted zero trees
00:19:49.440 over the last year.
00:19:50.560 That's it.
00:19:51.120 That's the tweet.
00:19:52.220 And the government
00:19:53.000 had told La Presse,
00:19:54.340 and True North has a version
00:19:55.620 of this story online as well,
00:19:57.400 that they're preparing
00:19:58.620 a comprehensive plan
00:20:00.220 to fulfill the commitment.
00:20:01.720 Why do you need
00:20:02.520 a comprehensive plan?
00:20:03.660 Get a shovel.
00:20:04.540 That's your comprehensive plan.
00:20:05.760 Get a shovel and a wheelbarrow.
00:20:07.220 When I was in Scouts growing up,
00:20:08.860 we did tree planting.
00:20:10.000 We didn't need
00:20:10.540 a comprehensive plan.
00:20:11.760 We didn't need
00:20:12.260 a self-aggrandizing tweet.
00:20:13.780 We just needed a shovel
00:20:15.060 and a bunch of trees,
00:20:16.220 and we had a grand old time with it.
00:20:18.180 So if you need a plan
00:20:19.700 to do something
00:20:20.420 that is the most
00:20:21.100 fundamentally simple task,
00:20:22.940 you're trying to overcomplicate it.
00:20:25.040 But again,
00:20:25.580 it's all about the optics.
00:20:27.260 It's all about the theatrics,
00:20:28.940 not about actually saving lives,
00:20:31.900 and certainly not
00:20:32.640 about saving an economy.
00:20:34.640 Speaking of theatrics,
00:20:36.100 let's talk about
00:20:37.140 performative wokeism.
00:20:39.220 The idea that everyone
00:20:40.420 just has to look so woke
00:20:41.800 and out social justice
00:20:42.820 each other,
00:20:43.600 even if it means
00:20:44.400 reaching absurd conclusions.
00:20:46.260 Like, for example,
00:20:47.920 this song.
00:20:48.640 probably among the most
00:21:15.380 recognizable notes in music.
00:21:19.840 Probably among the most
00:21:21.300 recognizable notes
00:21:22.620 just in general
00:21:23.940 as far as recognizing
00:21:25.220 art is concerned.
00:21:26.800 Beethoven's Fifth Symphony,
00:21:28.120 dun-dun-dun-dun.
00:21:29.120 Well, no, it's been canceled.
00:21:30.760 Yeah, I'm sorry to tell you
00:21:31.760 you're no longer allowed
00:21:32.540 to listen to Beethoven's Fifth
00:21:33.700 because it put the classism
00:21:35.780 in classical music.
00:21:38.260 It is, I kid you not,
00:21:40.020 it is elitist apparently,
00:21:41.320 according to a write-up in Vox,
00:21:42.680 because they say that the...
00:21:45.320 I can't do this.
00:21:47.740 I can't do it.
00:21:48.600 Okay.
00:21:49.060 They say that, yes,
00:21:50.460 this is a metaphor
00:21:51.460 for Beethoven's personal resilience
00:21:53.240 in the face of his
00:21:54.060 oncoming deafness,
00:21:55.100 but actually,
00:21:56.560 it's only people in power
00:21:58.520 that think that,
00:21:59.260 especially the wealthy white men
00:22:01.000 who embraced Beethoven
00:22:02.160 and turned his symphony
00:22:03.560 into a symbol
00:22:04.340 of their superiority
00:22:05.260 and importance
00:22:06.100 for some and other groups,
00:22:07.920 women, LGBTQ plus people,
00:22:10.200 people of color.
00:22:11.420 Beethoven's Symphony,
00:22:12.280 may be predominantly
00:22:13.880 a reminder
00:22:14.680 of classical music's
00:22:16.080 history of exclusion
00:22:17.640 and elitism.
00:22:19.500 And they say
00:22:20.200 that prior to Beethoven,
00:22:21.820 classical musical culture
00:22:23.060 looked and sounded
00:22:23.760 a lot different.
00:22:25.000 For example,
00:22:25.760 it was standard for audiences
00:22:26.960 to clap in the middle
00:22:28.160 of the performance,
00:22:29.280 but they say
00:22:30.400 that a different class
00:22:31.720 changed around the time
00:22:32.960 of Beethoven,
00:22:33.560 and it was one
00:22:34.260 that made music
00:22:35.020 more elitist,
00:22:36.140 so therefore,
00:22:37.000 we can blame Beethoven
00:22:38.040 for it,
00:22:38.860 and Beethoven is now
00:22:39.880 classist, elitist,
00:22:40.900 homophobic, racist.
00:22:41.840 He's been canceled,
00:22:42.680 in other words.
00:22:43.240 So if you ever do
00:22:44.380 the dun-dun-dun-dun,
00:22:45.540 if you're ever doing
00:22:46.040 piano lessons as a kid,
00:22:47.520 you actually are
00:22:48.560 playing those few notes
00:22:49.720 as an ode to just being
00:22:51.300 a rabid and evil
00:22:52.840 bigoted hate monger.
00:22:53.940 So tell that to your
00:22:55.180 kid's piano teacher
00:22:56.020 and, you know,
00:22:57.500 just try to be
00:22:58.280 a better person, I guess.
00:22:59.140 You're only allowed to
00:22:59.940 play that WAP song
00:23:01.840 from Cardi B.
00:23:03.100 That's the only music
00:23:03.840 that's allowed now.
00:23:04.980 Everything else
00:23:05.560 is apparently racist.
00:23:07.240 So this is where
00:23:08.740 we're going.
00:23:09.340 And speaking of
00:23:10.100 everything being racist,
00:23:11.500 Vaughn Secondary School
00:23:12.980 in York Region
00:23:14.120 in Ontario
00:23:14.760 has had its name
00:23:17.200 changed,
00:23:17.760 or in the process
00:23:18.400 of changing its name.
00:23:19.740 The reason is
00:23:20.580 because the person
00:23:21.440 after whom
00:23:22.400 the school was named
00:23:23.260 apparently was
00:23:24.580 less desirable
00:23:25.440 when viewed
00:23:26.000 through a 2020 lens.
00:23:27.920 Now, why I find
00:23:28.760 this hilarious
00:23:29.320 is that all of
00:23:30.240 the angry activists
00:23:31.140 holding this up
00:23:32.020 as a great victory,
00:23:33.120 no matter what
00:23:33.960 the school is named,
00:23:34.800 are still going to
00:23:35.360 have to contend
00:23:36.020 with something
00:23:36.560 very significant.
00:23:38.080 The school is located
00:23:39.480 in Vaughn, Ontario.
00:23:41.720 So, sure,
00:23:42.720 change the name,
00:23:43.560 but it is still
00:23:44.300 Vaughn, Ontario.
00:23:46.040 And now it's
00:23:47.240 kind of a Pyrrhic victory
00:23:48.480 because the school's address,
00:23:49.900 sure, the name's
00:23:50.380 a bit different,
00:23:50.960 but you're still having
00:23:52.000 to, you know,
00:23:52.720 literally live
00:23:53.400 in the namesake
00:23:54.300 that you find
00:23:55.460 just so evil
00:23:56.360 and horrific.
00:23:57.180 And this is the thing
00:23:58.240 that apparently
00:23:58.760 has been the biggest
00:24:00.080 priority for people
00:24:01.260 in Vaughn
00:24:02.340 or in York Region.
00:24:03.400 I guess they have
00:24:03.960 to emphasize the region
00:24:04.940 now rather
00:24:05.980 than the city.
00:24:07.660 And one final one here
00:24:08.920 from the land of the woke.
00:24:10.200 It's one thing
00:24:10.720 to change a school name
00:24:12.140 here and there,
00:24:12.740 to take down a statue
00:24:13.680 here and there.
00:24:14.620 It's quite another
00:24:15.380 when you decide
00:24:16.080 you want to go after
00:24:16.920 all of them at once.
00:24:18.740 Well, that's what
00:24:19.620 the mayor of London,
00:24:20.840 England is doing,
00:24:21.720 Mayor Sadek Khan.
00:24:22.920 He has launched
00:24:23.740 a commission
00:24:24.540 that he's recruiting for
00:24:25.860 that will,
00:24:26.300 in his words,
00:24:27.000 quote,
00:24:27.660 review diversity
00:24:28.800 and representation
00:24:29.520 across our city's
00:24:31.120 public spaces
00:24:31.860 from statues
00:24:32.900 and memorials
00:24:33.680 to our street
00:24:34.340 and building names.
00:24:35.760 So London,
00:24:36.460 England is going
00:24:37.100 after absolutely
00:24:38.180 everything now.
00:24:39.140 If there's a street
00:24:40.280 name they don't like,
00:24:41.080 a building name,
00:24:41.800 a statue,
00:24:42.460 a park,
00:24:42.880 they're going to
00:24:43.220 take it down.
00:24:44.020 And it's funny,
00:24:44.600 I've actually spent
00:24:45.360 in the last couple
00:24:46.160 of years,
00:24:46.680 just by virtue
00:24:47.460 of covering
00:24:48.020 the Tommy Robinson trial
00:24:49.360 and the Global
00:24:50.420 Conference for Media
00:24:51.300 Freedom,
00:24:51.680 I've been to England
00:24:52.420 three times
00:24:53.060 and I absolutely
00:24:54.780 adore London.
00:24:55.760 It's probably
00:24:56.280 one of my favorite
00:24:57.680 cities in the world.
00:24:59.020 And the reason
00:24:59.640 is because
00:25:00.360 of all the history.
00:25:01.880 I mean,
00:25:02.100 this was the birthplace
00:25:03.360 of Western civilization
00:25:04.880 and there's a reason
00:25:06.100 that so much
00:25:07.180 of what we have
00:25:08.200 in Canada
00:25:08.740 is really synchronized
00:25:10.560 with what exists
00:25:11.420 in England.
00:25:12.060 So when you walk around,
00:25:13.160 you know all the street names
00:25:14.260 because we've seen them here,
00:25:15.900 named after dukes
00:25:16.960 and duchesses
00:25:17.580 and earls
00:25:18.320 and barons
00:25:18.920 and all of these
00:25:19.480 sorts of things.
00:25:20.460 And when you take
00:25:21.840 the history away,
00:25:23.860 London ceases
00:25:24.800 to be London.
00:25:26.920 But unfortunately,
00:25:27.820 none of these people
00:25:28.520 care about that
00:25:29.240 because they don't actually
00:25:30.020 like history.
00:25:31.380 They don't actually
00:25:32.060 understand history.
00:25:33.460 So I fear
00:25:34.600 what is going to come
00:25:35.540 of this
00:25:35.900 when all of these
00:25:36.580 great historic
00:25:37.300 boulevards
00:25:37.980 and streets
00:25:38.480 and avenues
00:25:39.060 are going to be reduced
00:25:40.760 to just these
00:25:42.120 completely robotic
00:25:43.360 Street 1,
00:25:44.820 Street 2,
00:25:45.360 Street 3
00:25:45.940 or, you know,
00:25:46.840 named after
00:25:47.440 all of these
00:25:48.020 social justice figures
00:25:49.000 of 2020.
00:25:50.140 So I think there's
00:25:51.060 a platform
00:25:51.740 nine and three quarters
00:25:52.660 at King's Cross Station
00:25:53.800 which is an ode
00:25:54.440 to Harry Potter.
00:25:55.560 Oh, well,
00:25:55.820 that's got to go now
00:25:56.560 because, you know,
00:25:57.220 J.K. Rowling
00:25:57.840 is the most detestable
00:25:58.980 human being
00:25:59.600 apparently.
00:26:00.580 So it's tragic
00:26:01.540 and I hope that
00:26:02.840 there is a mayoral election
00:26:03.960 in London
00:26:04.380 so they can have a change
00:26:05.400 before any of this
00:26:06.460 nonsense goes through.
00:26:08.100 When we come back,
00:26:09.080 we'll be talking about
00:26:10.000 the sort of art
00:26:11.020 that people on the right
00:26:12.140 can get behind.
00:26:13.620 Interview with
00:26:14.360 Phelan McAleer
00:26:15.140 up next here
00:26:15.900 on The Andrew Lawton Show.
00:26:17.080 You're tuned in
00:26:20.080 to The Andrew Lawton Show.
00:26:28.980 Welcome back
00:26:29.820 to The Andrew Lawton Show.
00:26:32.300 Conservatives
00:26:32.740 all the time
00:26:33.580 complain that
00:26:34.500 Hollywood
00:26:34.900 and the entertainment world
00:26:36.220 have this big liberal bias
00:26:37.600 and that's true.
00:26:38.700 That is so very true.
00:26:39.860 I'm not going to dispute
00:26:40.620 that at all
00:26:41.200 but it's all the more
00:26:42.500 reason why
00:26:43.240 conservatives
00:26:43.820 need to support
00:26:44.920 art and entertainment
00:26:46.400 films, music
00:26:47.480 whatever it is
00:26:48.200 that is conservative friendly
00:26:50.080 and I think this is
00:26:50.880 such an important message
00:26:52.000 but it's one
00:26:53.100 that also goes along
00:26:54.500 with supporting
00:26:55.180 good conservative content
00:26:56.940 and when it comes
00:26:58.040 to creating
00:26:58.960 good content
00:26:59.900 that is friendly
00:27:00.660 to a conservative audience
00:27:01.900 no better duo
00:27:03.160 than Anne McElhenney
00:27:04.480 and Phelan McAleer
00:27:05.540 filmmakers,
00:27:06.500 documentarians,
00:27:07.540 authors
00:27:07.860 their newest project
00:27:09.160 Obamagate the Movie
00:27:10.800 a film
00:27:11.760 they're producing
00:27:12.720 that they're actually
00:27:13.440 crowdfunding for
00:27:14.600 with a goal
00:27:15.540 of exposing
00:27:16.340 the deep state
00:27:17.340 the deep state
00:27:18.060 that tried to take down
00:27:19.220 President Trump
00:27:19.960 and continues
00:27:20.980 to try to take down
00:27:22.400 President Trump
00:27:23.060 this is a movie
00:27:24.400 that really follows
00:27:25.500 a lot of the other work
00:27:26.500 they've done
00:27:26.920 most notably
00:27:27.480 with FBI Lovebirds
00:27:28.900 a play featuring
00:27:29.780 Dean Cain
00:27:30.780 and Christy Swanson
00:27:32.100 who are actually
00:27:32.700 going to be in the film
00:27:33.380 as well
00:27:33.820 playing the same characters
00:27:35.120 Peter Strzok
00:27:35.780 and Lisa Page
00:27:36.780 the former FBI agents
00:27:39.000 that are household names now
00:27:40.940 for their collusion
00:27:42.180 during the 2016 election
00:27:44.240 and joining me on the line
00:27:46.040 is one of the fantastic duo
00:27:48.040 I was just talking about
00:27:49.160 producer and co-writer
00:27:50.500 of Obamagate the Movie
00:27:52.740 Phelan McAleer
00:27:53.620 Phelan good to talk to you again
00:27:54.720 thanks for coming on the show
00:27:55.740 thanks for having me Andrew
00:27:57.180 it's always a pleasure
00:27:58.220 to be on your show
00:27:59.640 and talk to your audience
00:28:01.480 we are now almost
00:28:03.720 four years after the election
00:28:05.500 Barack Obama's been out of office
00:28:07.180 for almost four years
00:28:08.860 why is this a story
00:28:10.520 that in your view
00:28:11.340 still needs to be told
00:28:12.460 because it started
00:28:14.640 at the tail end
00:28:15.900 of the Obama administration
00:28:16.920 it's hard to believe
00:28:20.180 right
00:28:20.480 it is actually hard to believe
00:28:21.820 and I think it's missed
00:28:22.540 in a lot of this
00:28:23.260 this is a
00:28:25.440 an investigation
00:28:27.720 by the most powerful parts
00:28:30.060 of the intelligence apparatus
00:28:31.440 under one administration
00:28:34.160 into the rival political candidates
00:28:36.540 running in the next election
00:28:38.160 from the other party
00:28:40.040 it's
00:28:41.460 it's
00:28:42.780 it's like
00:28:43.460 it's like
00:28:44.520 Ronald Reagan
00:28:45.360 you know
00:28:46.720 having
00:28:48.120 Walter Mondale
00:28:49.600 investigated
00:28:50.300 or
00:28:50.860 you know
00:28:51.380 or
00:28:52.160 I can't remember
00:28:52.980 who ran against
00:28:53.760 Harvard Walker
00:28:55.460 George
00:28:56.000 George H.W. Bush
00:28:57.580 you know
00:28:58.300 having his
00:28:59.720 using
00:29:00.440 using the power
00:29:01.540 of the presidency
00:29:02.100 and the power
00:29:02.580 of the intelligence organization
00:29:03.680 to investigate
00:29:04.820 your political opponents
00:29:06.300 and this is not
00:29:07.740 investigating their tax returns
00:29:09.400 this is using
00:29:10.220 secret warrants
00:29:12.560 recordings
00:29:14.480 tapping people's phones
00:29:16.260 turning people
00:29:18.020 using spies
00:29:18.960 using a honey trap
00:29:20.320 they sent a girl
00:29:22.100 in a short skirt
00:29:23.240 to a meeting
00:29:24.860 in London
00:29:25.440 to try and get
00:29:26.440 a senior member
00:29:27.580 of the Trump campaign
00:29:28.800 to
00:29:29.840 to
00:29:30.400 incriminate himself
00:29:32.080 and incriminate the campaign
00:29:33.300 none of this worked
00:29:34.560 but they lied
00:29:35.680 to the FISA court
00:29:36.820 the supposedly
00:29:38.040 secret
00:29:38.880 but highly
00:29:39.880 you know
00:29:40.660 highly
00:29:41.160 skeptical
00:29:42.080 special warrant
00:29:43.700 court
00:29:44.080 you know
00:29:44.460 because
00:29:44.760 you need a special
00:29:46.700 warrant to spy
00:29:47.580 on your own people
00:29:48.560 and
00:29:49.280 they just lied
00:29:50.520 and they made stuff up
00:29:51.920 and
00:29:52.860 the judges
00:29:53.460 just handed out
00:29:54.340 warrants
00:29:55.200 like confetti
00:29:55.720 but these are all
00:29:56.380 this all happened
00:29:57.200 under the Obama
00:29:58.080 administration
00:29:58.920 and then it continued
00:30:00.960 the cabal
00:30:02.020 of FBI
00:30:02.700 and DOJ
00:30:04.020 deep state
00:30:05.340 they continued it
00:30:06.280 after
00:30:06.820 after Obama
00:30:08.820 was out of power
00:30:09.600 but it was started
00:30:10.920 under his watch
00:30:11.800 and that is the most
00:30:13.460 fascinating part
00:30:14.420 of this story
00:30:15.140 is that
00:30:15.880 when you say
00:30:16.900 deep state
00:30:17.620 there are a lot
00:30:18.180 of people
00:30:18.580 that immediately
00:30:19.300 they put up
00:30:20.000 their sort of
00:30:20.500 conspiracy theory
00:30:21.500 alert beacon
00:30:22.180 and say oh you know
00:30:22.860 that's just nonsense
00:30:23.680 but you really have
00:30:25.180 seen in the last
00:30:26.060 few years
00:30:26.740 how a lot of
00:30:27.780 these intelligence
00:30:28.480 community
00:30:29.060 people
00:30:29.800 these bureaucracy
00:30:30.560 operatives
00:30:31.380 they really do
00:30:32.480 have a mind
00:30:33.400 of their own
00:30:33.900 in a way
00:30:34.260 where once the
00:30:34.860 old guy is out
00:30:35.840 they still are
00:30:37.000 loyal to that
00:30:37.940 regime
00:30:38.500 that's no longer
00:30:39.360 there
00:30:39.780 yeah
00:30:40.560 it's not just
00:30:41.500 the regime
00:30:42.000 it's the
00:30:42.400 consensus
00:30:43.120 they're loyal to
00:30:43.820 I mean
00:30:44.280 Peter Strzok
00:30:45.560 is quite clear
00:30:46.280 about it
00:30:46.640 in his book
00:30:47.360 and in interviews
00:30:48.460 that Donald Trump
00:30:49.600 is a threat
00:30:50.200 to the national
00:30:50.820 security
00:30:51.380 of the United
00:30:52.720 States
00:30:53.200 because of
00:30:54.160 a cozy
00:30:55.140 relationship
00:30:55.740 with Putin
00:30:56.720 now
00:30:57.460 that is a
00:30:58.960 political decision
00:30:59.800 that is an
00:31:00.660 attack on the
00:31:01.380 consensus
00:31:02.400 Trump is attacking
00:31:03.960 the political
00:31:04.460 consensus
00:31:05.100 he's not
00:31:06.420 it's not a
00:31:07.840 national security
00:31:08.620 threat
00:31:08.840 they just think
00:31:09.740 that anyone
00:31:10.240 who disagrees
00:31:10.900 with their
00:31:11.620 consensus
00:31:12.500 establishment
00:31:13.220 view
00:31:13.680 is a
00:31:14.420 national security
00:31:15.460 threat
00:31:15.780 that's not
00:31:16.460 actually factually
00:31:17.300 true
00:31:17.640 so
00:31:18.580 that's what
00:31:19.900 I mean
00:31:20.400 this is kind
00:31:21.100 of
00:31:21.240 that's the
00:31:22.020 deep
00:31:22.940 political side
00:31:23.960 to it
00:31:24.380 at the other
00:31:25.620 side of it
00:31:26.100 is
00:31:26.320 Strzok and Page
00:31:27.460 were having
00:31:27.820 this ridiculous
00:31:28.600 affair
00:31:29.180 and texting
00:31:30.640 on their
00:31:32.140 FBI work
00:31:33.340 phones
00:31:33.860 because their
00:31:34.660 wives allegedly
00:31:35.720 couldn't get
00:31:36.200 access to those
00:31:36.980 wives and husband
00:31:37.840 couldn't get
00:31:38.600 access to those
00:31:39.360 and
00:31:40.240 they you know
00:31:42.020 they thought
00:31:42.900 they would get
00:31:43.460 away with that
00:31:44.080 and they almost
00:31:44.620 did
00:31:44.920 but in these
00:31:45.940 texts
00:31:46.360 you know
00:31:46.580 and you see
00:31:47.080 the mainstream
00:31:47.480 media are calling
00:31:48.320 them anti-Trump
00:31:49.540 texts
00:31:50.040 they weren't
00:31:50.760 anti-Trump
00:31:51.340 texts
00:31:51.820 you know
00:31:52.160 they weren't
00:31:52.740 Trump
00:31:53.080 they were
00:31:53.380 of course
00:31:53.620 there was
00:31:53.960 a lot of
00:31:54.260 anti-Trump
00:31:54.660 texts
00:31:54.920 but there's
00:31:55.420 actually
00:31:55.640 conspiratorial
00:31:56.460 texts
00:31:56.800 there was
00:31:57.280 her saying
00:31:58.100 he's not
00:31:58.520 going to
00:31:58.780 win
00:31:59.040 is he
00:31:59.480 and
00:31:59.760 the
00:32:00.420 chief
00:32:00.960 counter
00:32:01.320 espionage
00:32:01.980 operative
00:32:02.740 and the
00:32:02.980 FBI
00:32:03.320 saying
00:32:03.640 no
00:32:03.980 we're
00:32:04.540 going
00:32:04.680 to
00:32:04.800 stop
00:32:05.120 it
00:32:05.320 you
00:32:06.100 mentioned
00:32:06.520 Strzok's
00:32:07.160 book
00:32:07.460 I find
00:32:08.020 that to
00:32:08.340 be
00:32:08.480 interesting
00:32:08.900 because
00:32:09.220 this is
00:32:09.680 I mean
00:32:10.360 some people
00:32:10.780 would argue
00:32:11.200 this is
00:32:11.620 bordering
00:32:12.040 on treasonous
00:32:12.900 behavior
00:32:13.340 at the
00:32:13.660 very least
00:32:14.260 it's
00:32:14.680 undermining
00:32:15.280 the democratic
00:32:15.900 process
00:32:16.480 but all
00:32:17.220 of the
00:32:17.500 players
00:32:17.860 involved
00:32:18.440 in this
00:32:18.880 seem
00:32:19.160 to have
00:32:19.440 been
00:32:19.580 able
00:32:19.820 to
00:32:20.040 cement
00:32:20.600 themselves
00:32:21.200 as
00:32:21.960 celebrities
00:32:22.560 to the
00:32:22.980 left
00:32:23.260 you know
00:32:23.540 James Comey
00:32:24.420 Peter Strzok
00:32:25.240 and we're
00:32:25.540 going to
00:32:25.840 see this
00:32:26.280 with Bob
00:32:27.260 Mueller
00:32:27.500 and all
00:32:27.840 these other
00:32:28.180 people
00:32:28.460 and there
00:32:28.860 is something
00:32:29.400 very insidious
00:32:30.520 about that
00:32:31.160 just the
00:32:31.880 hero treatment
00:32:32.700 that if
00:32:33.620 the roles
00:32:34.400 were reversed
00:32:35.000 if this
00:32:35.460 were Trump
00:32:36.080 doing this
00:32:36.600 to Biden
00:32:37.160 depending on
00:32:37.800 what happens
00:32:38.360 in 2020
00:32:39.500 this would
00:32:40.380 be riots
00:32:41.380 in the
00:32:41.720 street
00:32:42.140 yeah
00:32:43.080 I mean
00:32:43.560 I'm old
00:32:44.440 enough
00:32:44.600 to remember
00:32:45.180 when the
00:32:45.900 FBI
00:32:46.300 were the
00:32:46.940 evil
00:32:47.460 deep state
00:32:49.120 and the
00:32:49.740 left
00:32:50.040 hated
00:32:50.280 them
00:32:50.440 in fact
00:32:50.780 I have
00:32:51.540 a friend
00:32:51.840 whose baby
00:32:52.280 was born
00:32:52.700 last year
00:32:53.280 that's
00:32:53.880 probably
00:32:54.060 old
00:32:54.380 enough
00:32:54.660 to be
00:32:55.400 to remember
00:32:56.380 when the
00:32:56.700 FBI
00:32:57.080 were the
00:32:57.540 enemy
00:32:58.800 you know
00:32:59.440 it's
00:32:59.960 the FBI
00:33:01.680 now are
00:33:03.100 the heroes
00:33:03.620 of the
00:33:03.880 left
00:33:04.120 and must
00:33:04.480 be protected
00:33:05.040 by the
00:33:05.520 left
00:33:05.820 but
00:33:06.340 the
00:33:08.160 things
00:33:08.800 they did
00:33:09.300 they spied
00:33:10.740 on a
00:33:11.120 political
00:33:11.420 campaign
00:33:12.000 for no
00:33:12.980 good
00:33:13.220 reason
00:33:13.580 they lied
00:33:14.580 to get
00:33:15.360 the warrants
00:33:16.040 to spy
00:33:16.560 on a
00:33:16.840 political
00:33:17.120 campaign
00:33:17.640 long
00:33:18.360 after
00:33:18.840 it was
00:33:20.300 clear
00:33:20.620 there was
00:33:21.200 no
00:33:21.400 there
00:33:21.700 I mean
00:33:22.240 to use
00:33:22.640 Peter
00:33:22.900 Struck's
00:33:23.420 exact
00:33:24.060 words
00:33:24.460 I think
00:33:25.180 there's
00:33:25.400 no
00:33:25.620 there
00:33:26.020 there
00:33:26.400 long
00:33:26.960 after
00:33:27.340 there's
00:33:27.580 no
00:33:27.760 there
00:33:28.040 there
00:33:28.300 they
00:33:28.700 kept
00:33:29.000 going
00:33:29.340 so
00:33:29.980 you
00:33:30.360 have
00:33:30.640 this
00:33:31.000 Jean
00:33:31.460 Le Carrier
00:33:32.000 deep
00:33:32.680 state
00:33:33.180 cabal
00:33:35.780 conspiracy
00:33:36.440 mixed in
00:33:37.480 with a
00:33:37.820 bit of
00:33:38.220 teen
00:33:38.660 romance
00:33:39.720 texting
00:33:40.380 between
00:33:41.060 these
00:33:41.440 embarrassingly
00:33:42.600 middle-aged
00:33:43.260 lovers
00:33:43.820 and then
00:33:45.560 in the middle
00:33:46.060 of it
00:33:46.280 you have
00:33:46.560 one of
00:33:47.320 his wife
00:33:48.380 finding his
00:33:49.620 work phone
00:33:50.200 and somehow
00:33:50.740 getting access
00:33:51.620 to the
00:33:52.180 texts
00:33:52.640 in his
00:33:53.400 FBI
00:33:55.180 work phone
00:33:56.080 and then
00:33:56.860 phoning
00:33:57.360 Lisa Page
00:33:58.180 and threatening
00:33:59.040 to sell a
00:33:59.520 private
00:33:59.940 investigator
00:34:00.500 on her
00:34:00.960 and you
00:34:01.440 know
00:34:01.580 I mean
00:34:02.260 there's so
00:34:04.200 many questions
00:34:04.920 and so much
00:34:05.780 madness
00:34:06.340 there
00:34:06.720 that
00:34:07.240 it's a
00:34:07.580 really
00:34:07.840 entertaining
00:34:08.380 movie
00:34:08.820 and
00:34:09.700 that
00:34:10.120 you know
00:34:10.540 this has
00:34:11.280 to be
00:34:11.460 entertaining
00:34:11.900 you know
00:34:12.720 we
00:34:12.880 it's
00:34:13.540 you saw
00:34:14.520 the play
00:34:14.980 you saw
00:34:15.340 the
00:34:15.460 we did
00:34:15.940 the excerpt
00:34:16.500 of the
00:34:17.040 original play
00:34:18.000 on the
00:34:19.600 Mark Stein
00:34:20.140 cruise
00:34:20.480 it's a scream
00:34:21.440 it's a laugh
00:34:22.060 a minute
00:34:22.400 so those
00:34:23.040 laughs are
00:34:23.580 still there
00:34:24.080 but we've
00:34:24.640 extended it
00:34:25.340 now to
00:34:25.740 bring in
00:34:26.040 the whole
00:34:26.320 Comey
00:34:26.760 stuff
00:34:27.100 the Flynn
00:34:27.820 stuff
00:34:28.300 all the
00:34:29.660 other
00:34:29.980 memos
00:34:30.780 and
00:34:31.180 conspiracies
00:34:32.340 that have
00:34:32.920 come out
00:34:33.340 since then
00:34:33.900 it's 100%
00:34:36.540 verbatim
00:34:37.280 that's what I
00:34:37.660 want to say
00:34:38.100 and that's the
00:34:38.960 part I wanted
00:34:39.460 to ask you
00:34:39.920 about
00:34:40.100 because you've
00:34:40.520 had a
00:34:40.940 fantastic
00:34:41.500 ability
00:34:41.980 with past
00:34:42.660 work
00:34:42.960 whether it
00:34:43.400 was your
00:34:43.820 play on
00:34:44.440 Ferguson
00:34:44.860 or the
00:34:45.740 Gosnell trial
00:34:46.680 and FBI
00:34:47.600 lovebirds
00:34:48.260 of taking
00:34:49.020 things that
00:34:50.000 have actually
00:34:50.600 happened
00:34:51.060 not just
00:34:51.520 events that
00:34:52.060 have happened
00:34:52.540 but actual
00:34:53.400 conversations
00:34:54.360 verbatim
00:34:55.040 and bringing
00:34:55.900 them to life
00:34:56.520 in a way
00:34:56.860 and I guess
00:34:57.320 there are two
00:34:57.680 parts to the
00:34:58.200 question
00:34:58.460 one is a bit
00:34:59.020 facetious
00:34:59.520 you know
00:34:59.840 is there much
00:35:00.600 work for you
00:35:01.140 as a writer
00:35:01.740 or co-writer
00:35:02.380 of this film
00:35:02.960 when you're
00:35:03.260 using
00:35:03.620 verbatim
00:35:04.500 words
00:35:04.900 but more
00:35:05.500 seriously
00:35:06.120 why is that
00:35:07.600 something that
00:35:08.400 needs to be
00:35:09.120 done
00:35:09.500 well
00:35:10.980 yes I saw
00:35:12.100 someone on
00:35:12.640 YouTube
00:35:12.880 called me
00:35:13.520 a lazy
00:35:13.880 writer
00:35:14.280 or maybe
00:35:15.200 it was on
00:35:15.480 Twitter
00:35:15.720 because you
00:35:16.200 could be
00:35:16.400 more nasty
00:35:16.980 on Twitter
00:35:17.380 and I
00:35:18.000 went yeah
00:35:18.700 that's me
00:35:19.200 you know
00:35:20.520 well actually
00:35:22.120 you know
00:35:22.700 when the
00:35:24.760 mainstream media
00:35:25.520 has failed
00:35:26.020 to do its
00:35:26.440 job
00:35:26.920 when the
00:35:27.380 media won't
00:35:28.020 do its
00:35:28.380 job
00:35:28.800 then that's
00:35:29.660 where
00:35:29.800 verbatim
00:35:30.380 plays
00:35:32.340 and verbatim
00:35:32.980 theater
00:35:33.360 and verbatim
00:35:34.260 movies
00:35:34.560 that's where
00:35:34.940 they come in
00:35:35.460 and that's
00:35:35.840 where they're
00:35:36.100 strongest
00:35:36.500 because
00:35:36.920 in some ways
00:35:40.420 I'm lucky
00:35:41.740 that the
00:35:42.660 mainstream media
00:35:43.260 is so crap
00:35:43.820 because if they're
00:35:44.400 any good
00:35:44.840 I'd be out
00:35:45.300 of work
00:35:45.680 right
00:35:46.280 I'd be
00:35:46.660 you know
00:35:47.080 shoveling
00:35:48.180 cement in
00:35:50.300 back in Ireland
00:35:50.920 or whatever
00:35:51.360 you know
00:35:52.040 they will
00:35:53.840 not tell
00:35:54.420 the truth
00:35:54.880 you know
00:35:56.400 they will
00:35:57.180 not
00:35:57.620 highlight
00:35:58.820 the stories
00:35:59.460 that should
00:35:59.780 be highlighted
00:36:00.320 they will
00:36:01.240 not quote
00:36:02.200 directly
00:36:02.780 when the
00:36:03.680 quote doesn't
00:36:04.260 help them
00:36:04.660 what they do
00:36:05.200 is they
00:36:05.460 paraphrase it
00:36:06.280 in the most
00:36:06.700 benign way
00:36:07.800 you know
00:36:08.160 it's like
00:36:08.480 as Mark
00:36:09.200 Stein once
00:36:09.700 said
00:36:09.820 you know
00:36:10.020 I mean
00:36:10.500 this is
00:36:10.820 you know
00:36:11.020 when Salman
00:36:11.860 Rushdie's
00:36:12.440 book
00:36:12.740 you know
00:36:13.380 20 people
00:36:14.120 were killed
00:36:14.560 and
00:36:14.900 reviewers
00:36:16.060 talk about
00:36:16.700 it
00:36:16.820 it caused
00:36:17.480 some
00:36:17.860 controversy
00:36:18.540 you know
00:36:18.980 I mean
00:36:19.340 they will
00:36:20.100 paraphrase
00:36:21.600 things
00:36:21.960 and make
00:36:22.600 things as
00:36:23.080 benign as
00:36:23.880 possible
00:36:24.140 when they
00:36:24.420 don't like
00:36:24.800 them
00:36:24.980 but
00:36:25.440 the great
00:36:26.660 thing about
00:36:26.980 verbatim
00:36:27.500 is
00:36:27.720 you know
00:36:28.840 there's no
00:36:29.420 filter
00:36:29.760 there's no
00:36:30.120 editorial
00:36:30.580 filter on
00:36:31.820 it
00:36:31.980 you know
00:36:32.340 there's some
00:36:32.760 but this
00:36:34.280 is what the
00:36:34.700 people said
00:36:35.240 and the
00:36:35.760 audience
00:36:36.200 loves it
00:36:36.800 because
00:36:37.160 I always
00:36:37.780 notice
00:36:38.060 when you're
00:36:38.540 in the
00:36:39.000 theatre
00:36:39.280 you know
00:36:39.800 people are
00:36:40.040 sitting back
00:36:40.520 like this
00:36:40.980 thinking
00:36:41.340 what's the
00:36:42.140 playwright
00:36:42.520 gonna
00:36:42.760 oh that's
00:36:43.440 an interesting
00:36:43.780 drama
00:36:44.180 that you
00:36:44.540 know
00:36:44.680 oh really
00:36:45.260 they get
00:36:45.680 invested in
00:36:46.160 the characters
00:36:46.580 but they're
00:36:46.840 sitting back
00:36:47.340 absorbing it
00:36:47.980 when
00:36:48.680 it's verbatim
00:36:50.560 they're
00:36:51.960 every word
00:36:52.620 because they
00:36:53.200 know these
00:36:53.680 are the
00:36:53.900 words that
00:36:54.300 were actually
00:36:54.740 said by
00:36:55.260 real people
00:36:55.960 and you
00:36:56.560 know
00:36:56.700 it hasn't
00:36:57.360 been easy
00:36:57.740 getting actors
00:36:58.480 for Obamacate
00:37:00.120 we've lost
00:37:01.220 a few
00:37:01.620 you know
00:37:02.020 for various
00:37:02.840 reasons
00:37:03.220 and we
00:37:03.460 don't know
00:37:03.840 why
00:37:04.200 same with
00:37:05.800 Ferguson
00:37:06.160 nine of
00:37:06.740 the actors
00:37:07.180 walked out
00:37:07.820 and you
00:37:09.800 know
00:37:09.900 they walked
00:37:10.620 out
00:37:10.880 these were
00:37:11.720 African
00:37:12.120 Americans
00:37:12.720 getting their
00:37:13.620 voices in
00:37:14.340 the theatre
00:37:14.780 because it
00:37:15.440 was eyewitness
00:37:16.160 accounts from
00:37:16.820 the grand jury
00:37:17.320 testimony
00:37:17.780 and you
00:37:20.120 know
00:37:20.300 so they
00:37:22.820 don't want
00:37:23.600 they'd rather
00:37:24.980 have some
00:37:25.600 Black Lives Matter
00:37:26.480 activists tell
00:37:27.380 you what
00:37:27.860 the street
00:37:28.740 is thinking
00:37:29.320 rather than
00:37:30.280 people on the
00:37:30.880 street speaking
00:37:31.740 for themselves
00:37:32.420 and that tells
00:37:33.200 you a lot
00:37:33.660 and it tells
00:37:34.320 you a lot
00:37:34.540 about the
00:37:34.800 acting profession
00:37:35.580 about who
00:37:36.180 they're really
00:37:36.580 speaking for
00:37:37.160 and when you
00:37:38.060 talk about
00:37:38.500 that whitewashing
00:37:39.380 that's particularly
00:37:40.080 important because
00:37:40.960 I know when you
00:37:41.540 and Anne
00:37:41.840 announced this
00:37:42.440 project you
00:37:43.120 had mentioned
00:37:43.660 that Showtime
00:37:44.780 is doing some
00:37:45.560 big special
00:37:46.260 but instead of
00:37:47.240 basing it on
00:37:47.860 the transcripts
00:37:48.640 which are publicly
00:37:49.220 available
00:37:49.740 they're basing
00:37:50.400 it on James
00:37:51.100 Comey's book
00:37:51.780 they're basing
00:37:52.320 it off of
00:37:52.860 a very
00:37:53.660 you know
00:37:54.560 I don't even
00:37:56.000 know what
00:37:56.460 a self-aggrandizing
00:37:57.960 version of
00:37:59.020 event through
00:37:59.580 the eyes of
00:38:00.660 James Comey
00:38:01.580 and they're
00:38:02.600 getting I think
00:38:03.240 you said a
00:38:03.780 $40 million
00:38:04.560 budget that
00:38:05.540 they're putting
00:38:05.940 towards this
00:38:06.660 whereas you
00:38:07.140 and Anne
00:38:07.460 are crowdfunding
00:38:08.380 I think you're
00:38:09.380 down to
00:38:10.000 $103,000
00:38:11.380 or so that
00:38:11.860 you need
00:38:12.140 left in this
00:38:12.840 you're doing
00:38:13.680 this and it's
00:38:14.180 going to be
00:38:14.460 better at a
00:38:15.200 fraction of the
00:38:15.920 budget
00:38:16.240 yeah
00:38:16.820 that's it
00:38:17.500 they're spending
00:38:18.180 $40 million
00:38:18.960 now and I've
00:38:19.520 seen it's a
00:38:20.520 miniseries
00:38:21.080 I've seen it
00:38:21.600 I got an
00:38:21.940 early copy of
00:38:22.640 it it's really
00:38:23.640 turgid and
00:38:24.540 boring and
00:38:25.760 they don't do
00:38:27.600 that I mean
00:38:27.980 there's so much
00:38:28.560 verbatim drama
00:38:29.460 here like there's
00:38:30.200 people getting
00:38:31.360 caught in affairs
00:38:32.260 yeah you don't
00:38:32.920 need to fictionalize
00:38:33.840 when the real
00:38:34.480 story is as
00:38:35.400 exciting as this
00:38:36.180 one is
00:38:36.700 I mean they're
00:38:37.480 doing honey
00:38:38.120 traps in a pub
00:38:39.020 in London
00:38:39.440 they're lying to
00:38:41.180 the FISA
00:38:41.640 courts you know
00:38:42.440 there's an agent
00:38:43.180 who rewrites
00:38:44.260 an email
00:38:44.860 to you know
00:38:46.220 Carter Page
00:38:47.040 you go
00:38:47.320 why was
00:38:47.980 Carter Page
00:38:48.600 so so involved
00:38:49.900 with dodgy
00:38:50.660 Russians
00:38:51.000 turns out
00:38:51.720 Carter Page
00:38:52.480 was working
00:38:53.220 for the CIA
00:38:54.040 and that
00:38:55.220 was for free
00:38:56.720 that he
00:38:57.360 as a patriot
00:38:58.340 he decided
00:38:58.900 to work
00:38:59.420 for the CIA
00:39:00.180 and feed
00:39:01.220 information
00:39:01.720 meet these
00:39:02.280 dodgy Russians
00:39:03.140 feed information
00:39:04.100 back to the CIA
00:39:04.980 the CIA
00:39:05.780 wrote to the FBI
00:39:06.620 and said
00:39:06.980 don't be suspicious
00:39:08.060 of this guy
00:39:08.560 meeting dodgy
00:39:09.200 people
00:39:09.580 he works for us
00:39:10.960 they rewrote
00:39:12.320 that email
00:39:12.840 and said
00:39:13.340 oh actually
00:39:14.760 he's not working
00:39:15.540 for the CIA
00:39:16.320 then they used
00:39:17.960 his dodgy
00:39:18.680 connections
00:39:19.040 for Russians
00:39:19.540 to get warrants
00:39:20.380 to surveil
00:39:21.460 the whole
00:39:21.860 of the Trump
00:39:22.300 campaign
00:39:22.860 it's an amazing
00:39:25.840 story
00:39:26.320 why would you
00:39:27.080 why would you
00:39:27.920 have to fictionalize
00:39:28.880 it
00:39:29.000 why would you
00:39:29.460 have to rely
00:39:29.920 on James Comey's
00:39:30.900 version of events
00:39:32.120 when the truth
00:39:33.140 I mean that's
00:39:33.700 a movie there
00:39:34.640 there's a movie
00:39:35.220 that's drama
00:39:35.840 isn't it
00:39:36.720 there is
00:39:38.680 I mean you're
00:39:39.280 and you're right
00:39:40.020 about this
00:39:40.500 and you've got
00:39:41.040 a great cast
00:39:41.680 too
00:39:41.880 Christy Swanson
00:39:42.720 Dean Cain
00:39:43.700 Superman himself
00:39:44.580 they did a great
00:39:45.660 job in Lovebirds
00:39:46.560 and I know
00:39:47.140 will do well
00:39:47.640 in this
00:39:48.040 I have to ask
00:39:49.140 you know
00:39:49.580 the fact that
00:39:50.600 you're crowdfunding
00:39:51.420 is that just
00:39:51.920 something you
00:39:52.380 want to do
00:39:53.060 or is there
00:39:53.900 genuinely
00:39:54.520 no studio
00:39:55.440 money behind
00:39:56.160 anything like
00:39:57.020 this from the
00:39:57.540 perspective that
00:39:58.260 you're putting
00:39:58.660 on it
00:39:59.080 yeah there's
00:39:59.860 no studio
00:40:00.620 money behind
00:40:02.440 it at all
00:40:02.740 thanks for
00:40:03.120 mentioning
00:40:03.440 the crowdfunding
00:40:04.020 you can go
00:40:04.440 to
00:40:04.600 obamagatemovie.com
00:40:06.340 if you'd like
00:40:06.780 to help
00:40:07.180 it's
00:40:08.040 obamagatemovie.com
00:40:09.340 I mean it's funny
00:40:10.620 when we first
00:40:12.020 came to Hollywood
00:40:12.620 you know
00:40:12.980 eight or nine
00:40:13.660 years ago
00:40:14.120 there was a
00:40:14.960 feeling that you
00:40:15.420 could go to a
00:40:15.960 studio and pitch
00:40:17.160 your best
00:40:17.640 and of course
00:40:18.000 they're all
00:40:18.360 liberal
00:40:18.680 but they would
00:40:20.100 give you a
00:40:20.520 hearing and
00:40:21.080 maybe once in
00:40:22.060 time in 20
00:40:23.000 you might get
00:40:23.640 something made
00:40:24.500 now it's very
00:40:26.320 clear that that's
00:40:27.160 not going to
00:40:27.600 happen because
00:40:28.040 even if there
00:40:28.600 was some guy
00:40:29.380 up there
00:40:29.900 who would
00:40:30.600 want to make
00:40:31.580 this
00:40:31.800 the employees
00:40:32.920 would walk
00:40:33.620 out
00:40:33.900 like they
00:40:35.120 have at the
00:40:35.560 New York
00:40:35.880 Times
00:40:36.380 like they
00:40:37.200 have even
00:40:37.600 at the
00:40:37.800 Wall Street
00:40:38.120 Journal
00:40:38.380 they would
00:40:38.680 say we
00:40:39.000 don't want
00:40:39.420 JK Rowling's
00:40:40.220 publisher as
00:40:40.840 well
00:40:41.020 yeah JK Rowling's
00:40:42.460 publisher
00:40:42.800 you know
00:40:43.920 so there is
00:40:45.540 no chance
00:40:46.600 that Hollywood
00:40:48.180 would make
00:40:48.720 this even if
00:40:49.500 they wanted
00:40:49.920 to and
00:40:50.620 you know
00:40:51.460 because their
00:40:52.740 woke staff
00:40:54.000 will not
00:40:54.500 tolerate this
00:40:55.220 and it's a
00:40:55.980 terrible
00:40:56.300 disaster
00:40:57.640 for art
00:40:58.700 it's a
00:40:59.320 terrible
00:40:59.560 disaster
00:41:00.020 for diversity
00:41:00.800 it's a
00:41:01.520 terrible
00:41:01.740 disaster
00:41:02.120 for fun
00:41:02.700 and entertainment
00:41:03.320 because you've
00:41:03.880 got three
00:41:04.460 hours of
00:41:05.160 turgid
00:41:05.640 James Comey
00:41:06.560 prose
00:41:07.200 opposed to
00:41:08.500 one hour
00:41:10.300 and ten
00:41:10.600 minutes
00:41:10.860 of our
00:41:11.260 sex romp
00:41:12.720 meets
00:41:13.200 John Le Carrier
00:41:14.340 meets
00:41:15.000 Mrs.
00:41:17.400 the Vickers
00:41:18.080 coming
00:41:18.420 get your
00:41:18.900 pants up
00:41:19.480 Obamagate
00:41:21.200 I have
00:41:23.340 had this
00:41:23.880 conversation
00:41:24.360 with you
00:41:24.700 before
00:41:25.100 and I
00:41:25.440 mentioned
00:41:25.720 it briefly
00:41:26.200 at the
00:41:26.680 beginning
00:41:26.900 of the
00:41:27.180 segment
00:41:27.480 here
00:41:27.740 I think
00:41:28.180 it's
00:41:28.340 important
00:41:28.700 for
00:41:29.080 conservatives
00:41:29.880 to support
00:41:30.700 conservative
00:41:31.320 friendly
00:41:31.880 art
00:41:32.580 and in
00:41:33.220 this
00:41:33.380 context
00:41:33.780 film
00:41:34.160 but I
00:41:34.820 also
00:41:35.100 think
00:41:35.340 it's
00:41:35.500 important
00:41:35.860 for
00:41:36.200 any
00:41:36.560 movie
00:41:37.240 or
00:41:37.600 product
00:41:38.200 that
00:41:38.440 is
00:41:38.660 really
00:41:39.100 aiming
00:41:39.480 at a bit
00:41:39.880 of a
00:41:40.340 conservative
00:41:40.700 audience
00:41:41.120 to be
00:41:41.440 good
00:41:41.800 and I've
00:41:42.240 always admired
00:41:42.980 that your
00:41:43.680 stuff is
00:41:44.340 good quality
00:41:45.280 first before
00:41:46.100 it's ideological
00:41:46.920 or partisan
00:41:48.040 or anything
00:41:48.480 like that
00:41:48.980 and I think
00:41:49.460 that's so
00:41:49.860 key
00:41:50.060 a lot of
00:41:50.460 people I
00:41:50.800 think
00:41:50.920 just think
00:41:51.300 that you
00:41:51.880 know
00:41:51.980 they're
00:41:52.140 going to
00:41:52.300 put
00:41:52.440 something
00:41:52.680 out
00:41:52.920 and because
00:41:53.280 they put
00:41:53.700 an eagle
00:41:54.060 and a flag
00:41:54.700 on it
00:41:54.980 everyone's
00:41:55.300 going to
00:41:55.480 buy it
00:41:55.920 you're
00:41:56.600 doing
00:41:56.920 something
00:41:57.300 that is
00:41:57.620 a good
00:41:58.100 product
00:41:58.540 and I
00:41:58.820 know
00:41:58.920 you did
00:41:59.160 that
00:41:59.300 with
00:41:59.480 Gosnell
00:41:59.920 what's
00:42:00.700 your
00:42:00.860 message
00:42:01.220 to
00:42:01.460 conservatives
00:42:02.000 that a lot
00:42:02.480 of the
00:42:02.640 time
00:42:02.920 just complain
00:42:03.660 about
00:42:04.140 Hollywood
00:42:04.620 they complain
00:42:05.160 about the
00:42:05.500 bias
00:42:05.780 complain
00:42:06.120 about all
00:42:06.520 of that
00:42:06.740 stuff
00:42:07.000 but don't
00:42:07.780 really do
00:42:08.500 anything
00:42:08.800 to support
00:42:09.600 the work
00:42:10.080 that is
00:42:10.480 out there
00:42:10.860 for them
00:42:11.360 well I
00:42:12.080 mean you're
00:42:12.340 just you're
00:42:12.700 terrible
00:42:13.080 right

00:42:13.860 terrible
00:42:14.200 you know
00:42:14.700 if there's a
00:42:15.760 conservative
00:42:16.100 movie out
00:42:16.740 there and
00:42:17.500 you can't
00:42:17.880 go to it
00:42:18.260 buy a ticket
00:42:18.920 online
00:42:19.560 if there's a
00:42:21.180 conservative

00:42:24.100 someone as a
00:42:24.580 gift
00:42:24.780 you know
00:42:26.000 I mean
00:42:28.880 it breaks
00:42:29.160 my heart
00:42:29.500 you see
00:42:29.960 billionaires
00:42:30.520 conservative
00:42:31.080 billionaires

00:42:32.180 40 million
00:42:33.780 to the
