Juno News - Danielle Smith BOOED over Ottawa energy deal

00:00:00.000 the mix of jeers and cheers that greeted alberta premier daniel smith at her party convention

00:00:11.340 in edmonton on the weekend the united conservative party is frankly not very united over the energy

00:00:17.620 accord signed last week between alberta and the federal government premier smith has touted the

00:00:23.060 deal as a sign that alberta and the feds can work together much of the crowd however disagreed 0.99

00:00:28.900 and let her know it as you know i support a strong and sovereign alberta within a united canada i know

00:00:34.860 we might have a bit of a difference of opinion on that but i hope people today feel a lot more

00:00:39.700 confident than canada works than they did a couple of days ago not a very warm welcome but not to be

00:00:50.440 deterred by that reaction smith insisted albertans should not give up on canada especially after

00:00:56.540 she gained some concessions from the feds aimed at attracting investment towards alberta's energy

00:01:02.800 sector let's listen i know full well that so many of you here today have been justifiably like me

00:01:11.120 frustrated and angry with ottawa i get it i get it trust me i get it i hear you we have been abused

00:01:20.660 and taken for granted repeatedly over the past decades but my friends let's not throw in the

00:01:27.540 towel and give up on our country just as the battle has turned in our favor and victory is in sight 0.99

00:01:33.940 it is

00:01:35.540 it is

00:01:39.840 not what our fellow canadians even those that may support differing political parties are

00:01:45.960 nonetheless supporting alberta's vision for a prosperous energy rich nation with strong and

00:01:52.040 sovereign provinces building a canada we can be proud of again now is not the time to give up the

00:01:58.840 fight

00:01:59.240 kind of a mixed reaction there pro-independence lawyer jeff rath has been a harsh critic

00:02:06.540 of the energy agreement signed last week he was in edmonton for the convention

00:02:10.700 and we'll be on hand with his thoughts a few minutes from now well prime minister mark carney could be

00:02:16.120 forced to sell off his multi-million dollar stock portfolio the pm's financial holdings have been

00:02:22.600 under scrutiny by the commons ethics committee over conflict of interest concerns that story was in

00:02:28.680 black locks reporter the ethics committee has recommended closing any loopholes in the conflict

00:02:34.840 of interest act that allow carney to keep his stock holdings which are now in a blind trust

00:02:41.080 carney has about 10 million dollars or so in stock options with brookfield corporation

00:02:46.360 his former employer while there were a few laughs and some playful jabs at the annual press gallery

00:02:53.080 dinner in ottawa after cbc poked fun at pierre polyevre the conservative leader proved he could dish

00:02:59.560 it up pretty well too let's listen to all the cbc staff who are gathered here today don't believe what

00:03:06.760 you hear and by by the way when i speak of cbc staff i'm not just talking about the pmo comm shop

00:03:11.800 i'm talking about all of you i never said i was going to shut down the cbc i said i was going to

00:03:17.800 defund it which means that we can find some creative funding methods to keep it going like maybe they

00:03:24.120 could move their head office to the to a caribbean tax haven so that brookfield could pay for it

00:03:30.280 the company might have some spare office space above that bicycle shop in bermuda

00:03:36.440 or another revenue source would be for david cochran to start charging for the water he carries for

00:03:41.400 the liberal party funny yes but the best humor has more than a kernel of truth in it and joining me now

00:03:50.120 is constitutional lawyer jeff brath coming to us from the calgary area welcome jeff oh good morning

00:03:57.240 how are you excellent thank you let's talk a little bit about your impressions about what happened

00:04:02.120 on the weekend uh you had a mixed bag in terms of your own personal success in your organization

00:04:09.080 but we can get to that in a minute but first overall how did you say how would you say that

00:04:13.400 it went in terms of putting forward your agenda oh i i don't even think it was a mixed mixed bag so out

00:04:19.320 of you know nine positions on the board and of course there's been a lot of propaganda media that's

00:04:24.280 come out and have tried to write stories going the other way uh we got five out of nine off of our

00:04:29.320 slate were elected so we got a majority of the new board positions um were people that support

00:04:34.760 independence like are fervently card carrying app members right and then of the balance of the board

00:04:41.640 right there's at least three of them support independence so you know the new directors that

00:04:46.920 have uh that have been elected so you know we we think that the weekend was an overwhelming success

00:04:53.960 and then of course i kind of had my mic drop moment on um friday night when i went up in front of 4 000

00:05:00.440 people uh during a bear pit session where you know we're supposed to be asking questions of the

00:05:05.000 premier and i said no no i have a question for the crowd right how many people here after mark

00:05:10.280 carney gleefully announced um that the mou for him means a 600 increase in uh industrial carbon tax

00:05:18.520 for alberta how many people here in this room you know and then of course everybody starts booing the

00:05:23.000 minute you mentioned mark carney which is as it should be in alberta i said how many people in this

00:05:27.880 room favor a free and independent alberta stand up right and we got um uh we got over 85 percent of

00:05:35.800 the entire agm crowd standing up and cheering and yelling and screaming and applauding for um a free and

00:05:43.720 independent alberta so you know that's like apparently that's still making the rounds on uh

00:05:49.080 you know on all of the all the media this morning after the agm that's the one big takeaway that

00:05:54.600 everybody has from the agm and then uh and then on top of it every time daniel smith mentioned the mou

00:06:01.480 she got booed right like and she's you know and she's still immensely popular even amongst our base in

00:06:07.080 alberta but she's got to realize that every time she trotted out her stupid slogan that drives 1.00

00:06:12.680 so triggering to so many of us you know who was strong alberta within the united canada

00:06:18.040 every time she trotted out that stupid slogan she got booed right like that's not where albertans are

00:06:24.760 at so i mean it was really clear from you know the agm this weekend that you know that we're winning

00:06:29.640 the battle you know the the independent movement has won the battle for the hearts and minds of of

00:06:35.240 of the ucp and the hearts and minds of alberta right we're you know we're rocking and rolling

00:06:40.680 and the federalist forces around danielle are in a complete or in complete disarray you know trying

00:06:45.960 to figure out you know what they're going to try to do next did i did i hear you say that the pro

00:06:52.280 independence people are majority on the board right now i thought they were yeah yeah absolutely they're

00:06:58.760 a majority is that right and and on top of it we picked up just off of our slate you know we picked

00:07:05.080 up a clear majority of the new directors uh that were running we didn't get a sweep i mean rob smith

00:07:10.760 you know but i mean the president of the ucp rob smith he's pro-independence he's just he's just very

00:07:16.680 concerned about not splitting the party on the issue right and uh you know there's other new directors

00:07:22.760 you know that were elected um you know that are pro-independence and even though and i'm telling you

00:07:28.440 the forces of federalism or even more importantly what i would call the forces of crony capitalism in

00:07:34.280 alberta spent well over a million dollars to get get out the vote um to make sure that we didn't get 0.98

00:07:41.720 anybody elected and we got five out of nine elected and for us i mean i was actually just talking to

00:07:46.600 gerald comic was the candidate that was running uh you know for us uh on the end you know on the

00:07:51.800 independence ticket and uh who lost to rob smith i mean rob smith is immensely popular i like rob i mean

00:07:58.120 he's a great guy i mean he just screwed us on the whole uh you know having a debate on independence

00:08:03.640 at the agm thing so you know we thought oh okay well if you're not gonna you know if you're not gonna

00:08:08.520 support us the way you said that you were going to you know we need a new candidate but i mean rob's

00:08:13.560 so immensely popular um you know and he's a really personable guy i mean we'll still work with rob

00:08:19.320 we like rob right he's a good guy you know like um you know but rob is pro-independence right so it's

00:08:25.960 just a question of how and when we get there as far as rob is concerned right my understanding

00:08:31.480 my understanding jeff is that something like 10 out of the 17 ucp board members have sided with

00:08:37.160 the premier who of course no that's that's oh yeah but again we picked up votes right so you know at

00:08:45.960 this agm and we got you know we had a majority of the new directors elected right so and then the

00:08:51.800 question is okay they might be siding with the premier there's lots of things that i side with

00:08:55.880 the premier on right you know she let's face it she threw a lot of red meat to the base this weekend 1.00

00:09:01.320 right so you know there's a lot of things that we agree with uh you know our movement agrees with

00:09:05.960 the premier on she's again she's she's very popular within our base there's no denying that

00:09:11.640 i personally like her on a personal basis i think on certain policy issues like the mou with carny

00:09:18.280 she's out to lunch right like the financial post has already said it's going to add you know six 0.81

00:09:23.880 to ten dollars a barrel to the price of oil production in alberta well how can you sell

00:09:29.000 that as being positive she might interpret the agreement one way her response to me was to engage

00:09:34.280 in a little bit of tax explaining you know to the people you know this is what the carbon tax is and

00:09:38.920 this is what mark carney was trying to say well what mark carney actually said was that he was

00:09:43.800 gleeful about the fact that he got danielle smith to agree to a six times increase in the industrial

00:09:50.600 carbon tax so she can interpret it however she wants but come april 1st there's not going to be

00:09:56.440 much of a negotiation if mark carney says well you already agreed to a 600 increase in the carbon tax

00:10:02.440 that's not open for negotiation because how am i going to pay for everything that i committed canada to

00:10:07.800 you know including the electric choo-choo train from toronto to montreal the 200 billion dollars in

00:10:13.560 defense spending going to europe and all this other stuff if he doesn't start throttling the

00:10:18.680 goose that lays the golden eggs and slapping a massive 600 carbon tax increase on alberta

00:10:25.320 right and even if you only increase the carbon tax from let's say 90 which it currently is to 130

00:10:34.040 right that's a 50 increase in the carbon tax right so you know what i was telling people on the weekend

00:10:40.600 about the you know about this whole you know carbon tax issue and danielle's tax planning

00:10:45.560 you know it stopped pissing on our heads and telling us it's raining now she did get like nobody's

00:10:51.480 buying it and she got that message loud and clear this weekend she did put out some things that got

00:10:57.080 some cheers though you know with the castle law and the gun gun control thing we have our issues with

00:11:06.200 it because she's effectively said and again this is against advice of people that really know firearms

00:11:11.800 myself included right um so a bunch of us got together over the summer and we drafted an alberta

00:11:19.240 firearms licensing regulation that would completely fix the problem and we explicitly told her that simply

00:11:26.040 telling people that you're not going to enforce federal law in alberta and you're going to tell

00:11:29.720 the crown prosecutors not to do it and the rcmp not to do it and on and on and on as you know we've

00:11:35.000 told her that doesn't help us right because effectively once the amnesty period runs out all of the people

00:11:41.640 in alberta that have pals and our pals that have their non-restricted weapons you know um uh elevated to

00:11:47.880 prohibited weapons if they don't turn those firearms in their names are going to be on a list right

00:11:54.040 ottawa knows where all these guns are because of the registry and certainly because of the restricted

00:11:58.440 to prohibited weapons those weapons are all registered right on the you know on the restricted

00:12:03.240 weapons list so you don't get arrested in alberta but if you want to holiday to the states or wherever

00:12:08.120 and come back you can be arrested by canada customs if you go to bc or saskatchewan you can be arrested

00:12:12.920 in those jurisdictions so she's effectively turning a whole bunch of albertans into criminals because she 1.00

00:12:19.480 doesn't want to offend her new buddy mark carney by going head to head with him um you know on this

00:12:25.960 issue by simply putting in her own alberta firearms license and daring carney to take her to court in 1.00

00:12:30.920 alberta which is what we've asked her to do but she's liking the football a little bit coming out of

00:12:37.080 this suggesting that she won over the crowd on at least some of the things that she brought forward

00:12:43.080 do you think that the membership might be ready to give her the benefit of the doubt for now

00:12:48.920 not on the not on the mou thing there's too many people in this province that make their living in

00:12:53.240 and around the oil and gas industry and then there's too many of us that actually understand

00:12:58.120 you know the gun you know firearms laws and what it means you know for albertans to be turned into 0.95

00:13:03.160 criminals you know effectively she's saying you know oh it's okay you guys can all become heroin users

00:13:08.520 but don't worry we're not going to enforce the law that's effectively what she's telling everybody

00:13:13.560 right but this is different this is prohibited firearms right so you know and this whole castle

00:13:19.480 law thing you know the only way that danielle's ever going to have control over the criminal law in 1.00

00:13:24.600 alberta is in a free and independent alberta you can't tell me that if somebody breaks into your home

00:13:30.440 and you shoot them with a handgun because danielle said it's okay the rcmp aren't going to seize that

00:13:35.800 handgun then search your house for every other weapon that's been elevated from restricted or

00:13:41.240 non-restricted to prohibited seize all your prohibited weapons and charge you you can't tell

00:13:46.520 me that's not going to happen so you know she just gave 4000 albertans some really really really bad

00:13:53.320 legal advice and you know you know so much so i mean i've got to sit down and actually write something

00:13:58.760 about it and get it published and talk to people about it so we can get her to understand that if she

00:14:04.040 really cared about her base and cared about firearms she would start issuing provincial licenses as we 0.98

00:14:09.480 asked her to do because then we'd have a color of right defense it's like no i'm not in possession

00:14:14.840 you know of an illegal prohibited weapon the province has jurisdiction under 92 13 exclusive

00:14:20.360 jurisdiction over property and civil rights and here's my provincial license saying that i can own

00:14:24.760 and utilize these firearms anywhere in the province that it's safe to do so that's the answer not this

00:14:30.600 stupid oh don't worry about the federal criminal law you know you can be criminals and we won't 0.81

00:14:35.480 prosecute you i mean you know i mean for those of us that are doctors lawyers engineers we have

00:14:40.200 professional associations like you know we can't afford to be criminalized you know and we told this

00:14:45.960 to danielle over the summer it's just you know again it's you know the people around her i mean these

00:14:50.520 are the same people that are so dumb that they thought that mou was a good deal right because seriously i 0.52

00:14:57.800 mean think about it carney doesn't have the votes like he can't get the tanker ban overturned in

00:15:03.000 parliament the bloc will never do it the ndp won't do it elizabeth may won't do it right and you know

00:15:10.360 and the question is you know will the conservatives vote with carney to save his ass on this thing 0.57

00:15:14.920 that's an open question right same thing with the uh you know lifting the emissions cap danielle's 0.96

00:15:20.360 talking about like that that like it's a done deal right well again you got to pass it in parliament

00:15:25.320 partly carney has a fractured uh a fractured caucus now over this issue right and in fact i don't know

00:15:33.240 if you saw it the other day i put i posted on my twitter account but um the uh uh federal environment

00:15:40.040 minister responding to stefan gibault who said you know is very upset about danielle going out in public

00:15:47.880 and saying that the uh the clean electricity regulations are now gone right the minister of

00:15:54.120 environment said oh no they're not you know alberta has to show us that they have a viable alternative

00:15:59.240 that's going to reduce as much carbon before we free up their electricity markets so you know danielle's 1.00

00:16:05.640 telling everybody all of this stuff that you know that she says is true and all these wonderful things

00:16:10.680 that she claims that she got over this mou and as quick as she opens her mouth cabinet ministers that

00:16:16.360 are responsible for the federal side of this deal are saying that she's looney tunes right like so tell

00:16:23.880 me what kind of agreement they have right yeah and it seems every time david eby the premier of bc opens

00:16:31.080 his mouth he makes matters worse because and he came out and said well we might be okay with a pipeline

00:16:37.480 through northern bc as long as you don't lift the the ban on tanker traffic so right so how do you

00:16:44.440 how do you get funding for a pipeline if you can if you've got no ships to load the oil into at the

00:16:51.000 other end of the pipeline right like i guess maybe it's the americans to do it it's the americans the

00:16:57.320 whole thing is the whole thing is ludicrous and i mean you know danielle you know and her people are

00:17:02.520 really um really mad at me today because i guess last week on a podcast i had a very unfortunate

00:17:08.920 choice of words i said that this whole mou and what went on with mark carney made danielle look

00:17:13.560 like a real putz and i guess the word putz made people really really angry i need to find a more

00:17:19.400 polite of course friends know that know that she's been hoodwinked i mean she's been absolutely hoodwinked

00:17:24.360 by the federal liberals and you know and she's running around you know like yay major victory for 0.80

00:17:29.960 alberta so let's just recap so 600 increase in carbon tax ten dollars a barrel on the cost of

00:17:35.880 production of what's already the most expensive oil in the world and a 50 billion dollar carbon

00:17:41.000 sucking machine you know that nobody wants right so how is that a major victory when all of the stuff

00:17:49.000 you've got to cut a deal with the indigenous people you've got to get bc on side so there's 1.00

00:17:54.040 still plenty of hurdles there and also the timetable i guess pushed out potentially to 2040. oh yeah

00:18:01.160 that was oh sorry that's the punchline to the whole thing and boys and girls in alberta you know if

00:18:06.440 you're really really good boys and girls and you behave yourselves the way that the federal liberals

00:18:11.000 in ottawa want you to behave if you're really really good boys and girls and continue kowtowing to

00:18:16.680 us the way you're supposed to maybe maybe not for sure but maybe by 2040 if your good children will

00:18:23.720 let you have a pipeline i mean this is the most ridiculous deal that anybody has ever put pen to

00:18:30.360 you know and the people that advise danielle on this every single one of them should be ashamed of

00:18:34.520 themselves right but again you know these are the same people that have advised danielle to criminalize

00:18:39.880 alberta gun owners like they all think that they they just think they're so clever and they're so smart

00:18:44.440 when really they're the dumbest people on the planet but but danielle smith herself is no dummy

00:18:50.120 and she thinks it's it's a good deal yeah but she gets she's fed sound bites right like her stupid 0.90

00:18:56.440 slogan you know strong alberta within a united canada that's not a policy it's a slogan

00:19:01.160 right and she just keeps repeating it over and over and over again because people tell her to

00:19:06.280 you know um you know i had i was having a chat the other day with uh um her communications director

00:19:12.440 you know when we're talking about the referendum question and he's going well jeff you know the

00:19:17.080 reason that you're in court right now is because you guys are asking a bad question and i'm like matt

00:19:22.440 like stop pretending you know what you're talking about okay the question we're asking complies

00:19:28.280 directly with section one sub three of the clarity act which is you know the necessary first step for

00:19:33.880 taking alberta out of canada you know it's not a bad question the fact that you guys put a provision in

00:19:39.640 the act that allows you know the uh electoral officer to tie people up in court by you know

00:19:45.880 um referring good questions to the court for review is on you guys like we didn't draft a bad question

00:19:52.440 you guys drafted bad legislation right that's what we're dealing with i mean these people are too clever

00:19:57.960 by half i mean yeah if you assume that a good chunk of those who do not vote ucp are pro remaining in

00:20:09.960 canada then you've got to get a huge majority of the people inside the ucp to vote in favor well if

00:20:17.720 you go back and go back and replay that clip from friday night we had 85 of that room standing on their

00:20:23.720 feet and cheering for independence right how indicative do you think that was of the total

00:20:28.840 membership oh i i think it's completely representative of the total membership

00:20:34.040 right you know and again you know just because we didn't get 100 of our slate there i mean the forces

00:20:39.400 of federalism and the forces of and for us this whole thing was a really really good learning exercise

00:20:44.680 actually i'm glad you've asked this question right because you know we learned that you know like

00:20:49.240 we've got to make sure that things are too big to rig you know going forward like i understand from

00:20:54.120 talking to people that were involved in this that the the forces of you know of federalism and this

00:20:59.720 pro status quo people that want to make sure that danielle keeps control doesn't prevent us from getting 0.99

00:21:05.480 a super majority on the board they spent well over a million dollars right campaigning for danielle's 0.75

00:21:11.560 slate that's never happened before in an agm and like you know like you know the people that

00:21:16.840 literally you know can fly you know danielle staffers around on private jets and have hundreds

00:21:22.040 of millions of dollars you know sell hundreds of millions of dollars and bad ppe to the government

00:21:26.680 of alberta on sole source contracts and all you know all of those things they were spending hundreds

00:21:31.720 of thousands of dollars to make sure that there's no shake-up in and around the premier's office

00:21:37.160 because they make hundreds of millions of dollars out of it as part of their business model right so

00:21:41.800 we learned something we learned something really valuable and that's that we have to be more organized

00:21:46.040 we have to be prepared to outspend these people so we're going to start you know redoubling our

00:21:50.040 efforts on on fundraising and you know and we're going to get even more organized than we are so

00:21:55.560 you know as far as it goes i mean we kind of look at this whole thing as almost like a tabletop exercise

00:22:00.520 but in real time where we're in the belly of the beast as it were um and we still managed to get a

00:22:06.120 majority of our slate elected so you know in the face of overwhelming money being spent to you know to

00:22:12.200 destroy us we weren't spending any money so you're you were out by a huge margin and that's the reason

00:22:19.400 why the uh the independent side didn't get more we didn't get the clean slate what what was going on

00:22:26.920 and i think it's really sleazy to be honest is that uh when they realized after friday night um the amount

00:22:33.320 of support we had in that room and i guess so it's kind of almost my fault when they saw the amount of

00:22:38.440 overwhelming support for independence in the room they all freaked out and started you know basically

00:22:43.720 hitting all of their phone trees and then telling everybody you got to get here danielle's going to 1.00

00:22:48.200 lose control of the board and we promise if you show up you know we'll pay you know we'll pay your

00:22:54.040 way into the agm because it's a 400 ticket right and so all you know all we had over 500 walk-ins

00:23:01.080 um on saturday morning right to swamp the vote and i mean there's a lot of money spent to swamp the vote

00:23:07.000 right so you know and that and that's why we scared you know we scared the crap out of them

00:23:12.280 friday night and uh you know and the empire struck back right it was you know like i wrote a column

00:23:17.880 a couple weeks ago kind of tug and cheap called the revenge of the smith and it was kind of like that

00:23:23.800 they brought in their death star and did what we expect the evil empire you know the evil empire to

00:23:28.520 do right okay what's the next step jeff uh last question where do you go from here well we just

00:23:35.720 keep working forward we continue to get better organized we're going to you know we're continuing

00:23:39.480 to have uh town halls across alberta we're going to accelerate the pace of the town halls across the

00:23:44.600 province of alberta um we're planning on having you know whether it's the saddle dome or the jubilee

00:23:49.400 auditorium or max bell we're going to have a you know at least a four or five thousand person rally in uh

00:23:54.520 uh indoors in calgary in january or february um you know and we're going to keep pushing it forward

00:24:01.960 and then we're going to have you know we'll have another rally uh at the legislature in the spring

00:24:06.120 when the when the weather gets nice so we don't get uh people having frostbite to come and cheer on

00:24:11.560 an independent alberta and we're just going to keep rocking and rolling and moving it forward you

00:24:15.720 know we're going to keep speaking truth to power and uh and we're going to keep convincing

00:24:20.440 the powers that be that if they want to stay in power they've got to embrace independence and

00:24:25.160 they've got to uh you know they've got to they've got to take the bull by the horns as it were and

00:24:29.560 come along with us are you going to try to push out danielle i mean no i mean we love danielle honestly

00:24:35.240 we all do i mean in my heart of hearts i'd love to see danielle you know lead us into a you know into

00:24:39.720 a free and independent alberta am i critical of her do i you know do i try to speak the truth to

00:24:44.120 her and tell her that she's getting bad advice on a regular basis sure do i sometimes state

00:24:49.000 things or you know too strongly absolutely it's my personality i know i'm an asshole it's my fault 0.78

00:24:53.960 right i mean it's it's just what it is i need to temper that somewhat and uh you know and i think

00:24:59.880 be a bit more circumspect you know in terms of you know my messaging my opinions but you know am i

00:25:05.160 going to stop criticizing danielle for bad policies that hurt alberta no of course not i see that as

00:25:10.600 you know i i see that as important in in terms of our movement but you know i mean those are the

00:25:15.320 things that will you know we'll keep moving forward and uh um you know as well as you know

00:25:20.040 trying to support danielle where we can she's done a lot of great things i mean we're all very happy

00:25:24.280 about you know getting all of the ndp gay pornography out of our school libraries um you know making sure

00:25:30.120 that parents are advised that their kid you know their children you know are experiencing mental health

00:25:34.520 issues and making sure parents are part of the solution and not assumed to be part of the problem

00:25:39.640 because the ndp and all those supporters think that by definition you know every so-called cisgendered

00:25:45.720 couple hates you know you know hates the fact that their children you know might uh you know might be

00:25:51.000 gay which is nonsense right um you know so you know yeah do we support danielle and all those things 1.00

00:25:56.680 of course we do you know and you know and we love her for standing up for it we just want to see her

00:26:01.320 stand up stronger on more issues right like you know do we want a public inquiry into the

00:26:05.800 covid vaccines of course we do right and but of course all of her all of her people and people

00:26:10.760 that support her are hiding hiding under the desk because they still don't want the truth to come out

00:26:15.720 you know she her people still don't want to compensate all of the businesses in alberta that 0.56

00:26:20.680 they illegally shut down during covet and the courts have said that they've illegally shut down those

00:26:25.400 businesses and they're doing nothing about it so am i going to continue to advocate for those issues

00:26:30.040 of course i am right but you know it's not out of animosity towards danielle i said you know i

00:26:35.480 admire and respect danielle all right jeff thank you so much for coming on the show appreciate it
