Juno News - Do the Liberals care about treason？

00:00:00.000 the most painful part of the show begins the whole show is painful what are you talking about

00:00:05.980 by the way Noah where was the pink shirt you promised oh man uh I mean it's in some dresser

00:00:14.100 over there in the side uh there's no chance I'm ever gonna see the light of day um I I promise

00:00:20.120 you no you gotta liven it up it's a bright pink flamingo you see I'm not a I'm not a Barbie man

00:00:27.400 personally I you know I prefer my uh bluish purplish shirt uh we can debate the color some

00:00:33.080 other time but uh no I mean I think you'd look a lot better in Andrew I have a well I have like a

00:00:40.280 fuchsia e well actually I don't really know what fuchsia is it's like a purpley pink shirt that uh

00:00:45.360 I was wearing accidentally color pardon me it's a great color you'll know it is I like the shirt

00:00:50.940 but I the problem is I I wore it in a documentary that I was interviewed for and then I accidentally

00:00:55.720 wore it at the screening of the documentary so everyone there thought I I just had one shirt

00:01:01.020 which was uh I mean as far as the fashion faux pas I could make not the most embarrassing but

00:01:05.400 you'll wear it when you go to Winnipeg they've never seen anything other than gray over there

00:01:10.740 oh that's just cruel all right let's get this started

00:01:15.080 hello and welcome to off the record this is where we kick back analyze the week that was we delve into

00:01:30.740 the things that true north has covered the things we didn't get to the things that we just feel like

00:01:35.580 covering and talking about and we do it in a much more laid-back casual way it is oftentimes referred

00:01:41.560 to as the Friday train wreck actually no it's never been referred to that until now you want to call

00:01:45.820 it the Friday train wreck you can but it will be less of one with my two co-hosts for today I'm Andrew

00:01:50.680 Lawton in case you missed the memo but we have Rachel Emanuel our Alberta correspondent and also host of

00:01:56.860 Alberta Roundup and has some other stuff cooking that we'll have some details about for you pretty soon

00:02:01.860 and Noah Jarvis you hear from time to time on the daily brief and also see his work over at

00:02:07.940 tnc.news Rachel Noah good to have you back thanks for coming glad to be back glad that you are once

00:02:14.220 again in the hosting chair as well it's always a blast to be on OTR apparently the whole thing fell

00:02:20.420 apart when I wasn't hosting a couple of weeks back and like Harrison Faulkner and William were basically

00:02:25.540 just saying I'm I'm never doing this again uh with that without Andrew hosting so now I've been like

00:02:30.020 it was supposed to be this like rotating thing and now everyone's too scared to do it so what's the

00:02:33.860 problem it's easy you just have a chat it's funny that every week it's like to our audience it's

00:02:39.640 like oh man the show you know it's such a train wreck no one wants to host it anymore I feel like

00:02:43.220 we probably need to do a little bit of a better job pitching it to people so that they actually

00:02:47.060 you know come back time and time again to listen to it there was so so I actually had I had a book

00:02:51.800 launch oh I had a little book tour and there was an event in Toronto and Noah came out and there was

00:02:56.500 a guy there that came up to me who loved off the record and he there was a moment that he loved of

00:03:02.520 yours Noah and I did did you talk to him did he tell you this in person yeah we were talking it's

00:03:07.800 like oh you know I really loved your uh when you called uh Rachel Emanuel Miss Emanuel I'm like oh

00:03:13.660 well I'm glad this at least someone got some humor yeah because Noah like everyone's been like

00:03:17.600 relentlessly making fun of Noah since that but this guy is like yeah that's the highlight of the show I

00:03:21.840 loved it I loved when Noah just looked at Rachel as though she was some like weird scary school marm

00:03:26.620 you know it's also not accurate you're not using the language accurately I'm not a miss

00:03:32.280 I'm a missus so you have to get it right Noah it's important was it miss or miz that you got

00:03:36.440 I'm pretty sure it's missus before you get married no I don't know it's not no it's miss

00:03:41.780 it used to be miss before you get married and then missus when you're married but now

00:03:46.100 some school teachers definitely mess me up yeah some school teachers got it uh completely sorry

00:03:51.860 are you all for the five people in the audience remaining after that stellar introduction

00:03:55.480 I just wonder if I just wonder if Noah's like legally old enough to work here

00:04:00.120 should we double check that you know I think I get up with HR if you have a human rights complaint

00:04:05.820 about that uh the baseless ageism you've just experienced but uh all right let's get let's get

00:04:12.480 into this one story here so uh Jennifer O'Connell is a liberal member of parliament and I'm just

00:04:19.160 going to warn people we are going to do an AI generated song for this but I didn't make it but

00:04:23.820 we'll get to that in a bit uh Rachel what happened this week so the national security and intelligence

00:04:29.540 committee released a report saying that there was many MPs that have been accused of collaborating

00:04:34.860 with foreign governments now when this report was released predictably the liberal government

00:04:40.140 redacted the names of the MPs who've been accused of this so naturally you know the conservatives

00:04:44.200 have been putting pressure on the government to try to get those names as I think we would all like

00:04:48.020 to see during a committee meeting this week the conservative MPs were questioning you know

00:04:53.680 trying to get this these names released and liberal MP Jennifer O'Connell kind of kept heckling 1.00

00:04:58.880 during committee which is a big no-no in committee you're supposed to let the member who has the chair

00:05:02.800 do the speaking you're not supposed to be heckling and Jennifer O'Connell can just be heard in the

00:05:06.640 background going boo-hoo boo-hoo get over it you know no big deal that there's been foreign

00:05:11.360 interference in Canada who cares and this ended up going really really badly for her um there were

00:05:17.360 some tweets about it going on around online it ended up blowing up with people kind of from all

00:05:22.560 aisles really condemning this action and saying how inappropriate this was I don't think she expected

00:05:27.160 this condemnation I'm sure she's regretting her actions now just gonna throw this out there

00:05:31.420 when I first started covering Parliament Hill just out of university I immediately noticed something

00:05:37.060 was off with Jennifer O'Connell I've never really liked her she's one of those MPs who's just 0.99

00:05:40.500 beyond partisan like she can never really get anything done in committee because she's just

00:05:44.500 so focused on her partisan agenda and I feel like she doesn't work collaboratively with other members

00:05:49.140 that was something I noticed in the beginning and just kind of having seen some of her actions

00:05:52.560 like this one play out I feel very validated in having identified that about her early on but uh

00:05:57.580 yeah so then I guess it was Stephen Taylor who online made this AI generated song about the whole

00:06:02.020 incident I think we have a clip of that we can play it's definitely nowhere near as good as the songs

00:06:06.680 that Andrew makes if you want to hear some really good AI generated songs you'll have to head on over 0.99

00:06:10.240 to the Alberta Roundup after this yeah take that Stephen Taylor your so your AI songs suck it sucks 0.99

00:06:15.500 yeah no let's play that that song now though 0.99

00:06:18.500 I like the hat

00:06:24.240 she's not Albertan

00:06:28.100 yeah I don't know why she's doing like a country banjo 0.99

00:06:32.460 oh my dear peer isn't that just sad

00:06:36.240 it's all just treason yeah isn't it a joke

00:06:40.840 silly games and power plays these MPs provoke

00:06:45.740 but the real betrayal it's crystal clear 0.89

00:06:49.980 you're not with Justin you hear

00:06:53.600 woohoo get over it 0.94

00:06:55.980 it's just a silly game 0.92

00:06:57.800 woohoo get over it

00:07:00.300 yeah step aside Taylor Swift in the heiress tour uh Jennifer O'Connell coming to stadiums near you with 0.99

00:07:18.720 her hit single boohoo get over it which which is actually come to think of it's actually a good name

00:07:23.300 for a song uh boohoo get over it it's not uh you know for a member of you know his majesty's parliament

00:07:28.140 isn't uh particularly becoming but uh oh boy

00:07:30.900 the song title itself is funny the lyrics could use a little bit tweaking

00:07:34.400 actually when I saw this online and did get a lot of traction and I'm glad that we're all

00:07:38.680 you know calling this out and also making jokes about it I'm glad the song was made to draw further

00:07:42.520 attention to the issue but it did remind me of probably my favorite line from Andrew Lawton's recent book

00:07:48.260 Pierre Polyev a political life was when he was telling the story about Pierre Polyev eating that apple

00:07:52.620 while doing an interview that went really viral online and then all the parliamentarians posed

00:07:57.240 for a photo with a with an apple the following day and he basically said it just shows politicians

00:08:02.600 ability to make something fun and cool and turn it into something that is lame I think that's kind

00:08:07.620 of what we're seeing here yeah I did a good memory I that was uh yeah I wrote that and I think I might

00:08:13.080 have even argued with my publisher about that because he thought it was too opinionated I'm like no

00:08:16.400 if we can't call the photo of like 100 people holding an apple lame I don't know uh what we can

00:08:21.020 but uh uh Noah what's your take on the whole uh boohoo thing from Jennifer O'Connell well I think it's

00:08:29.040 pretty interesting that uh you know she's supposed to swear an oath before she sits in parliament uh and 0.97

00:08:36.320 you know she's supposed to defend uh not only our constitution but also our national security yet she 1.00

00:08:42.480 uh goes to the committee and basically uh you know shows that she's scornful of MPs who want to you know 1.00

00:08:48.660 get to the truth of who uh may be collaborating with uh foreign governments I mean uh when you go to the

00:08:54.380 ballot box uh in 2025 are you going to be 100% confident that the person you're voting for hasn't

00:09:00.860 collaborated with uh say the Chinese government or the say the Iranian Iranian government it's a really

00:09:05.900 serious stuff and you know we can uh make AI generated uh songs about this because you know

00:09:11.040 it helps the lighten the mood about something you know very dark and uh you know sinister but at the

00:09:17.400 end of the day uh yeah it is really crappy that Jennifer O'Connell is you know doing this as an elected 1.00

00:09:24.400 MP uh I think you know Canadians deserve more accountability not from O'Connell but uh from all

00:09:30.440 the MPs uh that who are collaborating with um say India or China so I I don't actually think she is one

00:09:37.860 of the subjects of foreign interference if only because that would be like the worst way to spend

00:09:42.220 money if you're China like you're you're getting Jennifer O'Connell that's just like what was that

00:09:47.500 yeah yeah I think China will just see her as like a useless you know she's like oh you know they're 1.00

00:09:52.560 like no no we don't you're doing enough interfering on your own you don't even China doesn't claim her

00:09:57.280 so I I will say I won my one Jennifer O'Connell story I this was like two or three weeks ago

00:10:03.860 I was at the airport and I was waiting for my flight and she was she sat right beside me uh not 0.95

00:10:09.780 knowing who I was just it was one of those long long tables and it was packed she sat beside me

00:10:14.120 and I wasn't trying to snoop I was just you know enjoying my coffee and she don't give me that look 0.81

00:10:19.760 Rachel I was not trying to snoop in fact I think I like angled away when I saw it was Jennifer O'Connell

00:10:24.300 because I'm like I just don't want to deal with this but then I saw it just happened to see because

00:10:28.700 she had it on her phone and it was held out in front of her she was posting something on Instagram

00:10:32.400 it took her 15 minutes to write the caption for the thing she was posting on Instagram and like I

00:10:38.520 saw it like I have never seen someone working so hard to write two sentences and at the end of it

00:10:44.100 it may be like really fascinating because I couldn't see what she was writing I just saw that she was

00:10:47.580 working on and then like you know when I was getting on my flight I was like oh I wonder if she

00:10:51.200 finally figured out the Instagram thing so I went on her Instagram and saw the post and it was like

00:10:54.960 great times seeing so and so in the riding on the weekend and that was like I was like it took you 15

00:11:01.040 minutes for that so the fact that she said boohoo get over it in like five seconds I actually think

00:11:06.600 is a step in the right direction she's becoming a lot quicker yeah yeah but maybe if she had stopped 0.96

00:11:11.880 to take the time to double check and you know really think about do I want to say this could

00:11:16.080 have ended a little bit better for her fortunately you know for us it's hilarious and we can make

00:11:20.000 light of this issue now I have to kind of wonder though about this report they haven't released the

00:11:24.800 names do we even know which parties these MPs were found in like do you think there's any chance

00:11:29.440 we're going to get any details on this let's say we were to see a conservative government in a year

00:11:33.140 do you think there's a chance that they would release the names because I feel like this is

00:11:36.020 a matter that is Canadians deserve to know like we have the right to know what the heck is going on

00:11:40.700 who are these MPs that have been working with foreign governments it's a huge allegation yeah

00:11:44.720 yeah I know I talked about it a bit with Sam Cooper who runs the bureau on my show I think it was

00:11:49.760 yesterday and Sam Cooper was basically of the mind that there's not really a mechanism to compel the

00:11:56.000 government to release the name so he was sort of indicating that things will have to be leaked

00:12:01.200 that someone who is involved with this report or someone in the intelligence community will have

00:12:05.220 to basically just go to a reporter and be like here you know look at this envelope and it would be

00:12:09.800 illegal to do that but ultimately we're at the point when the government is being so non-transparent

00:12:14.500 that's really the only option I think there are probably people from different parties implicated I

00:12:19.700 think there are probably people in the conservatives there are probably people in the liberals

00:12:23.560 the issue is that the liberals know the liberals know I think or have access to it and aren't

00:12:29.440 sharing it whereas the conservatives they can't make any decisions they can't punish anyone kick

00:12:34.400 anyone out of caucus refer anyone to police unless the names are shared so the fact that you have the

00:12:39.640 block the NDP and the conservatives all saying to the government yeah name the names we we need that

00:12:44.800 if if our caucus has been infiltrated we want to know that and these parties just don't have that

00:12:49.900 available it's it's insane and to your point earlier Noah like here we have you know yeah

00:12:54.860 we're making light of it because it's off the record but there's a very serious issue underlying

00:12:58.360 this and I think Jennifer Connell's boohoo get over it the reason that's such an attractive story 1.00

00:13:03.540 in and of itself is because it reflects I think the liberal flippance and uh flippancy flippance

00:13:10.460 flippance I think uh the liberal flippance or just disregard for the seriousness of this

00:13:15.860 do you think that if the conservatives were to fight I asked no other question

00:13:20.600 you're woman-splaining to Noah I gotta I gotta get in when I can you guys dominate you know your 0.99

00:13:27.020 loud voices are always fair enough well we have to make space for women's voices so yeah either one 1.00

00:13:32.460 of you but yeah something uh it was flippancy by the way I got it wrong it wasn't flippance anyway

00:13:37.660 carry on oh well uh you know you're supposed to be our editor it really undermines confidence

00:13:42.860 I really am I get to tell you guys when you make mistakes I'm not supposed to make them myself

00:13:47.300 Noah and I both knew it was wrong but we just didn't want to get penalized later so we kept

00:13:51.320 our mouths shut yeah I don't want to get demoted or fired or anything this show was a terrible idea

00:13:56.620 all right no I just say words this is this is this is the this we're train wrecking the train

00:14:01.540 wreck out of this yeah uh for interference bad um but yeah no I think like you know the liberal

00:14:08.780 flippants with this issue it's really concerning you see it you know not just uh what uh with this

00:14:14.600 recently revealed uh ENSECOP report but also with just how they've dealt with say the Handong

00:14:20.460 situation you know Handong was an MP sitting in their caucus and Trudeau knew that uh he was

00:14:26.380 collaborating with uh the Chinese Communist Party uh the People's Republic of China and he did

00:14:31.480 nothing about it he had to wait until it was leaked to the media and only then did he kick him

00:14:36.000 out of caucus so uh it's not like this is a new thing Trudeau just doesn't care about national

00:14:40.540 security concerns he only cares about the carbon tax and building back better or whatever the hell he

00:14:45.600 does I wonder go ahead I wonder if let's say we have a conservative government in a year's time they

00:14:52.280 finally get their hands on these names if it's not leaked by a government whistleblower first do you

00:14:57.300 think that they would make the names public or do you think they take a look at the list and say

00:15:00.460 oh you know this actually looks pretty bad for us too let's just uh let's keep this quiet especially

00:15:05.360 now that the news cycle has long passed yeah it's a really tough question because on one hand

00:15:11.860 when that will have happened they will have just one election and potentially some of these people

00:15:16.460 will have just one election so do you you know five days after you're sworn in look at you know some

00:15:21.740 guy Joe Blow who was just elected in you know Scarborough whatever and say oh no I didn't really

00:15:26.880 get out of there you're you're implicated in this and so look if I were the conservatives right now

00:15:31.480 I'd be going through their caucus and being like listen you've got one chance to own up do you have 0.95

00:15:35.760 any reason to believe that you are on this list and if so what have you done but again it's ridiculous

00:15:41.520 and and I think the point that Sam Cooper had made which I think is an incredibly valuable one is that

00:15:46.380 we don't really have the legal mechanisms to deal with this right now and even the RCMP which is

00:15:52.180 supposedly investigating this I saw someone say and I haven't verified it independently but

00:15:56.680 it was someone credible who said it they've got an ad hoc department with seven people looking into

00:16:03.900 this so they've just sort of found like seven random people in the lunchroom and said um yeah you guys

00:16:09.200 okay we got a national security thing come on over and these people are not experts in this they have

00:16:13.380 not spent their careers in this they're not even from an intelligence background necessarily a couple of

00:16:18.540 them may have some experience but it's not even like the police are equipped to deal with this

00:16:22.960 it's just this situation that people are only talking about now that's been happening for really for

00:16:28.100 decades I mean going back to the 1940s we've had foreign interference from the Soviets in Canada

00:16:33.700 but no one has really in this country tried to shore up our defenses against it

00:16:38.620 oh that's deeply troubling maybe the government needs to spend a little bit investing in CRA agents

00:16:43.820 who can track down you for not you know claiming that 40 that you earned last year and maybe invest

00:16:49.720 the real menaces to society yeah I kind of suspect I kind of suspect that the conservatives wouldn't

00:16:55.380 release the names a year later unless it became like a hot issue again with the media asking about

00:16:59.800 it which I don't think we would see in a year's time just because the news cycle would have passed

00:17:03.180 and if it looks kind of bad unless they've they've been able to get ahead of it and been like

00:17:06.060 this is the names this is how we've dealt with this issue and they're able to get ahead of the

00:17:09.100 news story in that way if they're on the defensive I don't think they would release it

00:17:12.660 because like I said the news stories pass it's like something similar with the increases to

00:17:16.020 capital gains like people are upset about that now are they still going to be upset about it

00:17:19.940 when we have a conservative government to the point that the conservative government will then

00:17:22.760 roll back those taxes yeah and to go back to the the book that you so kindly plugged Pierre

00:17:30.380 Polly have a political life available now on Amazon and from Indigo there there's a part of that

00:17:35.720 and I've talked about it in some interviews in the last couple of weeks that talks about what a

00:17:39.100 Polly of government would be like what it would do and everyone agrees that they need to hit the

00:17:43.700 ground running if he wins and they're sworn in you know October 2025 and do so much but there's only

00:17:48.660 so much you can do in a hundred days and and I don't know to your point Rachel if releasing this

00:17:53.700 thing that everyone's talking about right now is going to be at the top of the priority list in a

00:17:57.480 year and a half when that conceivable future government forms or if it's the kind of thing that we just

00:18:02.420 move on from like remember the Canadian government has kept classified a list of Nazi war criminals in

00:18:07.800 Canada that was done like you know 40 years ago and still they they won't release it so transparency

00:18:12.940 is not the default position of the Canadian government in general well I mean Pierre Polly of

00:18:18.820 is doubtless listening to this right now so hopefully he'll take your advice Andrew and he'll be going

00:18:24.000 through his caucus and they'll be well prepared to release those names when and if he should foreign

00:18:27.900 government no a last word on this yeah I think just to add on your points I think there's not a lot of

00:18:35.560 incentive for Polly have to do that when he gets into government because you'd have to sort of 1.00

00:18:39.540 develop a legal infrastructure that is not there you think during our experience with the Soviets

00:18:44.400 this sort of legal infrastructure would have been developed but right now it's easier to prosecute

00:18:49.540 whistleblowers than it is to prosecute those implicated in the reports that the whistleblowers are

00:18:54.520 exposing to the public so you know Polly would have to pass laws to develop his legal infrastructure 1.00

00:19:00.580 taking away political capital opportunity to still say you know do whatever his other priorities are

00:19:06.640 so I don't think this is something that's going to be addressed although if it is that would be

00:19:11.740 a welcome surprise all right that is it for this topic we shall move on now to I was excited about

00:19:20.800 this one and then I realized that as the I don't know when so I used to be the young person in many

00:19:25.720 rooms then I blinked and I became the old person in many contexts and that includes at true north so

00:19:31.340 Rob Schneider who's a comedian that I thought everyone knew uh Rachel had only like oh yeah I

00:19:37.300 think I've you know I think I've heard the name or maybe I you know saw him in something that was you

00:19:40.940 know playing on tv when I was slipping through the channels and Noah just said who the heck is Rob

00:19:45.640 Schneider so Rob Schneider used to be a comedy legend he was on Saturday Night Live back in the day

00:19:51.820 he's been in like all the Adam Sandler movies he was the the his famous line in a few of them was

00:19:56.920 you can do it uh which he's done as all sorts of characters he was in like all the Adam Sandler

00:20:02.040 movies he was also in well I guess they were Adam Sandler movies too but grown-ups one and two which

00:20:07.520 were really funny uh so Rob Schneider is a stand-up comedian now he has been as the kids say increasingly

00:20:12.520 based in recent years on matters of politics he's always tweeting he once retweeted me because I had

00:20:19.380 tweeted a clip of Danielle Smith and Rob Schneider like really has a crush on Danielle Smith it seems

00:20:23.900 like he's shared that a couple of times he has I think approvingly shared uh true north stuff he's

00:20:29.020 approvingly shared Pierre Paulieff clips he's very very critical of Justin Trudeau he is very political

00:20:34.720 he's very outspoken he's not a big fan of COVID policy and all of that anyway this is a lengthy

00:20:41.240 wind up to he's invited to speak at a hospital fundraiser in Regina now hospital fundraisers

00:20:48.080 I generally think are more buttoned down affairs so bringing a comedian in general carries its risk

00:20:55.240 bringing a comedian that has been fully transparent about what he stands for all the more risky it did

00:21:01.040 not end well for the hospital so they thought he was stopped midway through his set and asked to

00:21:08.240 leave the stage and the hospital put out an apology uh basically groveling and saying sorry for the jokes

00:21:14.660 he told that were just so offensive and harmful without sharing what those jokes were now I so I

00:21:20.200 looked into this I've not seen any video but there was a thread on reddit in which someone had asked for

00:21:26.000 the details about the performance and someone shared so again I I can't verify this I I'm just you know

00:21:32.900 reading some of the notes that someone else took a little bit after the fact apparently he jumped into

00:21:37.480 how Trudeau made everyone get vaccines he called it a scamdemic and then he uh moved to uh one joke 0.95

00:21:44.460 that was back in my day we liked our women without penises and told uh the joke was that his son is 0.90

00:21:51.580 really bad at sports he said you should say he's a girl say you're a girl and then you'll have a better 0.98

00:21:55.400 chance uh then he discussed uh the New York Times using the term menstruating people instead of women so

00:22:01.660 he's been accused of uh transphobia and all this stuff and and again a lot of this this is being

00:22:07.380 written by a critic so I don't know if it was funny or if it was a political rant like because

00:22:12.420 there are left-wing politics comics that go up and they just do like a you know an unhinged rant and

00:22:17.540 there's no real punchline I don't know if he was doing like the conservative version of that or not

00:22:21.360 but uh apparently he just you know was was not uh popular in the room at the time but then I'm also

00:22:28.980 of the mind that like what were you expecting it sounds like everything he said is everything

00:22:33.720 he's been tweeting about for the last five years so uh who's to blame here Noah Rob Schneider or the

00:22:38.920 Regina Hospital oh it's definitely the Regina Hospital I've been to for some weird reason don't

00:22:45.280 ask me why but I've been to one hospital fundraiser in my life and my gosh that's like the last like

00:22:50.480 sort of event I would want to invite Rob Schneider to I would not I would invite him to like a cookout

00:22:55.280 or like you know uh it's like something that's you know you're supposed to have some energy and

00:23:00.240 uh liveliness to not uh a fundraiser like that I I think you know if you just scroll through his

00:23:05.940 Twitter like I did you know for a few minutes after uh discovering who Rob Schneider was uh in the um

00:23:11.980 group chat and uh for True North I I looked through his Twitter I'm like yeah this guy clearly is a

00:23:17.620 right-winger he liked Daniel Smith he doesn't like vaccines you know great I know who this person is you

00:23:23.220 know it's a great encapsulation of like who is it if you just go through his Twitter so um it's

00:23:28.020 really you know a shame that you know they couldn't sit back relax and enjoy some good jokes that they

00:23:33.120 hey they might disagree with but you know it's it's comedy uh you know I think you know Dave Chappelle

00:23:38.600 he makes jokes that I disagree about or um you know other comedians I can take jokes and enjoy jokes

00:23:45.120 about people that you know I generally like and I move on with my day because you know I'm not like

00:23:50.840 a political demagogue you know I have a soul uh I can you know laugh at things so I I think you know

00:23:57.360 either the people at that fundraiser should um you know grow a funny bone or they should not invite

00:24:03.240 invite Rob Schneider you know pick one I think the difference between like the left and the right is

00:24:07.740 that the right can laugh at themselves and the left absolutely cannot very difficult to do when your

00:24:12.220 whole personality is based off of being a victim sounds like his set was hilarious I would like to get

00:24:16.920 my hands on a video copy of that so that I could wow my family at our next get together it'd be the

00:24:21.620 life of the party doubtless but uh maybe we could have him at our next you know true north event do a

00:24:26.760 do a nice stand-up piece for everyone you could even just you know we'll say listen we'll give you

00:24:30.760 half your rate you don't have to write any new material you can just deliver what you gave at that

00:24:35.320 fundraiser and you don't deliver the set that you didn't get to finish do the do the stuff they pulled

00:24:39.380 you off stage before you got to I'd also like to set the record straight I looked him up and I

00:24:44.180 once I saw his face I was like of course I know who Rob Schneider is this is going to be

00:24:48.020 controversial but I actually do like some Adam Sandler movies I feel like I snuck I remember

00:24:53.240 sneaking into the theaters when I was a little underage to see grown-ups and it's a hilarious

00:24:57.800 film oh you were underage when grown-ups came out I think it was like yeah I think I was in like

00:25:03.140 middle school yeah you were in daycare you actually weren't a grown-up when grown-ups came out that's

00:25:08.160 how old I am okay yeah so you know he's he's he's a gem I might actually reach out maybe he wants

00:25:13.020 to come on the Alberta Roundup and deliver his set there who knows I think I tried after he

00:25:17.420 retweeted me just hoping for the best but my fear is that so I don't have a way to contact him

00:25:21.620 directly he doesn't follow me on Twitter so I couldn't dm him I so I reached out to his manager

00:25:25.900 but I but the problem with a lot of these celebrities is that they're conservative but

00:25:30.120 their managers like hate politics and hate can and and wish they would stop talking about politics

00:25:34.620 so when the manager gets like someone from the right reaching out to them they're like

00:25:37.560 desperately trying to like keep the person away because Pat Sajak was like that because

00:25:41.780 Pat Sajak the Wheel of Fortune host at one point had said he wanted to come on my show

00:25:46.160 and then when I was talking to the publicist it was oh no no he's he's not talking about

00:25:50.260 politics anymore and then he like you know it's talking about politics everywhere else

00:25:54.120 well and I think to add to things is like the manager's looking at this and they're like

00:25:57.820 oh he's not going to make any money off of this this is a free appearance it means I'm not going

00:26:01.500 to make any money off of it so yeah yeah 10% of zero is uh is uh my math's a little

00:26:07.160 fussy I think it's zero um so the thing I will point out about Adam Sandler so Adam Sandler I

00:26:12.640 actually have Adam Sandler's email address and I've never used it I it's the kind of thing it's

00:26:16.840 like you get to use it once so maybe I should just try to get Adam Sandler on the show I don't want

00:26:20.680 to use it to like hey can you forward this to Rob Schneider please I feel like that's a waste of

00:26:25.180 the Adam Sandler email yeah don't do that use it next year during the election uh you know have

00:26:29.780 him uh on the election true north election night show uh bring Adam Sandler doing our election

00:26:34.380 extravaganza yeah it would be great just have him cracking jokes whenever we're like waiting hours

00:26:40.780 and hours for results to come out throughout the night it's like all right Adam you're up what do

00:26:44.040 you got for us I don't know if you guys saw this so Adam Sandler I think it was last year might have

00:26:47.960 been two years ago he was filming a movie in Toronto and like everyone was just running into him he was

00:26:53.400 just like walking around Toronto like all day every day so like every day you'd go on like blog to

00:26:58.540 and there'd be like someone else that has grabbed some like random selfie with Adam Sandler in

00:27:02.740 Yorkville and I was like I just apparently if you just like camp out in Yorkville long enough you'll

00:27:06.100 meet Adam Sandler it actually sounded like a good plan but would not not one that I wanted to brave

00:27:10.100 Toronto traffic to make happen so maybe it was around the same time I or maybe it was a different

00:27:14.580 time but he was in Niagara on the lake and I remember he was out for dinner and then he there

00:27:18.400 was a line of people that wanted to take photos with him and he came and he took photos with

00:27:21.520 everyone then he said all right guys that's like enough now I'd like to eat my dinner in peace and

00:27:24.440 sounded like he handled the whole thing very respectfully so I always have a little more

00:27:27.700 admiration for celebrities when you know they treat other people like like real people and you know

00:27:32.360 are able to set those boundaries so I don't know it seems like a cool guy we we always try to look

00:27:37.600 out for the real people as celebrities well I wouldn't know Andrew you're the only one who gets

00:27:42.740 that yeah no I was someone was someone's weird someone came up to me the other day and you're like

00:27:46.200 you're my favorite celebrity I'm like wow I either it's a small group or man you are delusional but

00:27:51.240 I'll take it you're a Canadian conservative celebrity how about that yeah yeah we've really

00:27:57.760 really lowered the price like there's the b list the c list the d list I'm like the z list uh or the

00:28:02.740 z list I guess in Canada but uh anyway uh good old that's why I need can con with it without uh can

00:28:07.960 con you know who would ever uh who would ever pay attention to the likes of me um all right we were

00:28:12.260 talking oh cbc speaking of can con all right Noah I won't make you do the one but you have to do the

00:28:18.080 other one on cbc okay great uh no one's actually not talking about the same one right hold on hold

00:28:24.740 on Noah's actually not legally old enough to talk about the other one it's just too you know yeah so

00:28:30.120 we have two cbc stories but Noah was like blushing before when I was trying to get him to do the lead

00:28:36.300 into the one so we've decided to spare him it's because the last episode you guys made me do that

00:28:41.960 weird uh story about the the the whole sex thing uh sex club in Alberta so I'm like you guys are

00:28:49.900 like yeah it's all the rage things off to me you know okay this could be a pattern but uh yeah anyway

00:28:57.740 um so the cbc uh they are you know the government's greatest uh you know actually no the government's

00:29:05.580 least greatest creation ever because they're just a rag for the liberal government basically

00:29:10.120 uh on d-day to celebrate the 80th anniversary of it a cbc uh their kids department they asked uh

00:29:17.300 they want to ask the kids whether or not they feel as if uh it is important to commemorate uh d-day so

00:29:23.820 they're basically just deferring responsibility uh to the kids to basically determine whether or not

00:29:29.680 it's important to commemorate uh certain uh events like d-day and to commemorate the veterans that fought

00:29:35.460 and died uh at uh in europe uh for our freedoms and liberties and they're basically asking these

00:29:42.720 kids if we should we should be glorifying war that's uh what uh commemorating the veterans and soldiers

00:29:48.560 uh who fought at d-day uh is doing i think you know a lot of canadians find this to be uh completely

00:29:55.980 outrageous uh you know this is already a time uh of these past nine years where uh instead of

00:30:02.540 commemorating and celebrating our history we're tearing it down and instead calling our country 0.95

00:30:07.520 genocidal and racist and now we can't even celebrate the people who have uh helped to make

00:30:13.020 this country possible for over uh 150 years i mean you know the people who fought at d-day are some of

00:30:19.740 the people who uh you know if not for them uh if say the nazis had won uh world war ii or in the cold war

00:30:27.780 the soviets have overcome the west uh we wouldn't enjoy uh the the rights and liberties and freedoms 1.00

00:30:33.940 that we all enjoy today so i think it's quite offensive uh i take it personally uh that you know

00:30:39.760 the cbc kids would try and uh promote this to the younger generation uh and it's just you know just

00:30:45.940 goes to show that the cbc is utter propaganda they promote a very far left uh narrative they pretend like

00:30:53.260 it's not happening uh when you reach out to them for comment uh and they continue to do this it seems

00:30:59.200 as if a lot of canadians are right and asking for uh the cbc to be defunded uh what do you guys think

00:31:04.480 about this story i think you hit the nail on the head this is a really perverse headline from the cbc

00:31:09.680 the opposite the opposite of what they're writing is actually true the veterans who died they died to

00:31:13.780 protect democracy they died to protect freedom and recognizing days like d-day and and you know

00:31:20.040 veterans day memorials day depending on where you are this is an acknowledgement of the fact that

00:31:24.100 people died to for our freedoms and just the sadness and the heaviness of those stories there's

00:31:29.400 a reason why we might go to a sanataf and listen to a veteran speaking why we might read a story about

00:31:34.020 people who died and some who lived and saw their friends and brothers die around them because it's

00:31:37.860 important to acknowledge the price that they paid for our freedoms and just the sadness and the

00:31:42.600 heaviness that they have to carry throughout with the rest of their lives um and all the lives that

00:31:47.300 were lost in these wars so the opposite of it is actually true it's actually a day to recognize

00:31:51.180 sacrifices that people made and to be respectful of those sacrifices it is absolutely not celebrating

00:31:57.060 war and i think you know one of the things that we see less and less of today is we do see a lot less

00:32:02.220 of that combat with you know the development of things like bombs and whatnot and and uh drones to

00:32:08.560 an extent and you know when we do see a high death toll nowadays it is less common um because of the way

00:32:14.260 that war has changed but you know back when you look at world war one world war two that was really

00:32:17.660 a unique time and even the civil war i was just down in gettysburg i was looking about the american

00:32:21.920 civil war all the tens of thousands people that died in gettysburg um and it's just we don't have

00:32:26.840 combat like that very often anymore and it's just the death toll in those cases was so high and the wars

00:32:32.900 were so bloody and so gruesome and so hard for their soldiers to live through and that was at a time

00:32:37.660 when we didn't recognize soldiers coming back the trauma that they carried and we have a better

00:32:41.560 understanding of that now and we're able to pay respects to those soldiers for what they didn't

00:32:45.380 understand how that has affected them through their whole lives you know in many in many cases

00:32:49.180 these soldiers have had to carry that with them and have really struggled just day to day because

00:32:52.740 of the trauma that they've suffered so i think the opposite of it's not a celebration of war it's

00:32:57.480 understanding how difficult that was and how much some people sacrificed for us and wanting to

00:33:02.620 honor them for that so i i want to i just actually checked uh during this uh right now

00:33:09.280 and realized they've updated it so the true north gets action they originally had the following

00:33:15.980 question is it important to commemorate battles like d-day why or why not and then they say it can

00:33:22.280 be argued that commemorating military battles is celebrating and glorifying war but it can also be

00:33:28.660 seen as a moment of reflection on the importance of peace so what do you think is it important to

00:33:33.460 remember an honorary and honor our military pastor is it celebrating violence so they've now erased all of

00:33:38.720 that and the article has a little editor's note appended we published this article to hear from

00:33:43.540 kids about how they feel about d-day how we set up the original question made it seem like made it

00:33:49.580 sound like d-day isn't important we have revised the question an article to be clear about what we

00:33:53.940 meant and now the new question is do you commemorate d-day and what does it mean to you so they've taken

00:34:00.120 out this whole celebration of violence nonsense which you occasionally get from these like far far

00:34:05.660 left radical anti-war types around remembrance day but anyone with half a brain and and more 0.62

00:34:13.380 will find them to be ridiculous because they realize that war has happened no one likes war the issue is 0.94

00:34:18.680 do we believe that war should be won by people like the nazis or do we believe that they should

00:34:23.620 be stopped and the only way you can stop them is through war and and d-day was as you guys have said

00:34:28.540 and are well aware the turning point of this that delivered ultimately the allied victory not long

00:34:33.600 later so i i think i don't even know if a lot of this is coming from someone at cbc just being a

00:34:39.960 radical anti-war activist i think it's people that just don't know history and i think that's the real

00:34:44.060 tragedy in all of this but even the way that they reframed that it said it can be argued okay so who's

00:34:50.000 arguing that who's arguing that what was the name they gave that it sounds like cbc you're the ones who

00:34:54.140 are arguing that yeah it's like the some people say question yes exactly journalists do this all the

00:34:58.560 time not to seem like you know a shell for your book but you talk about this in your book

00:35:01.880 extensively that when when reporters ask specifically peer poly of questions and say

00:35:06.360 some people say that you know you're uh introducing donald's donald trump style politics into canada

00:35:12.100 and you'll say well who's saying that and they often can't actually back up their claims because

00:35:15.360 it's actually they're the ones who are saying that so it's really cbc you know maybe it's for the best

00:35:19.540 that they change this headline i don't really i'm beyond giving cbc any credit for anything anymore

00:35:23.940 it's just i'm beyond tired of the stuff that they publish and the fact that my taxpayer dollars are

00:35:28.220 funding it yeah and people know that this is not like the glorification of war i mean when

00:35:34.140 the countries engage in unjust conflicts you know people uh they they express their backlash to it

00:35:40.540 when uh the united states they engage in the iraq war i mean a lot of people are initially supportive

00:35:45.060 of it but a lot of people condemned that war because you know it was an unjust war and you know we still

00:35:49.900 have to uh support the soldiers that bravely fought in that war they didn't ask to be uh shipped out to

00:35:55.740 a middle eastern country to uh you know you know give their life uh you know so we have to celebrate

00:36:02.480 the the people that fought in these wars but we can also condemn you know the the just nature of

00:36:07.920 uh you know a war that is fought but world war ii it is cut and dry it is black and white the nazis

00:36:13.600 they wanted to you know they want to expand their territory they wanted living space and they wanted to

00:36:18.620 genocide uh people who they viewed as inferior and the only way to stop them was through war uh so not

00:36:25.180 only should we be commemorating the soldiers that fought in the war but we should be also

00:36:29.100 commemorating uh that canada stood up against the nazis we stood up uh before the united states did

00:36:35.580 uh as some uh sort of canadian nationalists would uh brag uh but you know we stood up against the nazis

00:36:41.060 we fought valiantly and bravely and we defeated them all right and from one cbc story to another

00:36:48.540 uh there was a headline on cbc canada's horniest newsletter is changing the way we think about sex

00:36:57.860 desire and queer culture now i assure you it's not my substack that is not canada's horniest newsletter 0.93

00:37:02.920 and i certainly hope it's not changing the way you think about desire but cbc wants you to know

00:37:08.140 about this and look at the graphic they used to promote the article here by the way uh they're wishing

00:37:12.700 us all a very lovely greeting uh we are all able to ah there you go cbc wishes you have a horny day

00:37:20.700 that is for 1.4 billion dollars well spent now they're uh spotlighting a gentleman from toronto

00:37:26.780 named christopher sherman who i i believe that it put that thing up there i believe that's him doing like

00:37:31.900 the rose from titanic uh sprawl out on the uh the couch there but uh they just to read the article

00:37:38.460 i maybe i shouldn't read the article um do i make you read the article no what no i can't do that's

00:37:45.180 an hr violation i don't think i don't think i don't think we can have this discussion with

00:37:48.540 christopher sherman knows a few things with certainty they include but are not limited to the following 0.97

00:38:30.140 birthed cbc tells us out of the isolation of the 2020 pandemic uh there's i look i am not one of

00:38:37.260 these i probably am actually a bit of a prude but i i'm a free speech lover if you want to write about

00:38:42.220 this go for it it's a weird thing for cbc to profile and it's a one that i find to be just it makes me

00:38:51.820 wonder if i'm getting my money's worth on that 1.4 billion dollars i think saying it's a weird thing to

00:38:56.940 cover as being a little bit generous there andrew i don't want to be accused of what they call kink

00:39:01.420 because again i i don't have an issue with what people do i i just have an issue with paying to

00:39:06.060 be told about it well i'll take that label i think this is disgusting i don't think anyone should be

00:39:10.380 writing about it i certainly don't want to hear about it i certainly don't want my taxpayer dollars

00:39:14.220 funding any type of coverage about it we are trying to live in a society people can we not have some

00:39:18.700 standards my goodness disgusting noah what's your take you know my thinking is like what bureaucrat you 0.68

00:39:25.900 know thought of this idea you know they did woke up one day it's like i have a brilliant idea i got

00:39:30.780 to present to my bosses we gotta create a newsletter about that this like well now in fairness cbc is not

00:39:38.620 doing the horniness newsletter they're they're promoting the horniness newsletter okay but like

00:39:44.620 you know why do why does the cbc feel like this is a value to like taxpayers i mean uh you know they

00:39:50.380 could be they they could have been airing um you know the nfl's uh playoff games and instead of you

00:39:55.980 know spending money on the person who was supposed to write about d-day was like wasting their time

00:40:00.460 reading the newsletter and uh didn't read up on the history of d-day i think that's what happened

00:40:05.980 you know andrew when you're going into those details i thought like you know this was like some

00:40:11.740 university level biology class that i just like stumbled in on you know what are you taking at

00:40:17.100 university i'm listen it's not the classes i'd be taking i it's not something i learned in my

00:40:23.580 political science program uh so yeah this one um is a little bit uh different than the normal

00:40:29.420 subjects we cover i mean this could actually be in like a bc public school curriculum though based on

00:40:34.220 what i've heard from some parents there now the one point i will raise on this which i i find kind

00:40:39.820 of interesting because people whenever you do a story like this people are always like oh well you know

00:40:45.580 who cares what other people do read cbc's first person section it's like the best source of comedy

00:40:51.180 because they find the most like bizarre bizarre human experiences that they choose to highlight

00:40:56.220 there i've read some of them in the past like it'll be like oh i came out as non-binary to my iguana

00:41:02.460 and now he won't talk to me like it's just always something really really bizarre like that so this

00:41:07.180 one's comparatively normal should i offer to do a first person about a day in the life as a as a

00:41:13.340 stay-at-home mom who works like a couple hours a week 7 30 a.m change a diaper do a feeding play 1.00

00:41:20.140 on the floor with my child you know add some normalcy back that would be more wholesome yeah

00:41:25.020 i mean i would just do it like my life instead of have a horny day it would be like have a corny 0.57

00:41:28.860 day have a corny day we could do that we could just you know tell silly jokes and it'd be so

00:41:32.780 wholesome and uh one one aspect of this uh that i would caution you guys on your pitches on our monday

00:41:38.860 editorial meetings uh have to be a lot better than the pitches that cbc's editors are getting

00:41:44.620 well like i said i don't actually think that like noah is legally old enough to even have

00:41:48.460 this conversation like i don't think we should have read that story in front of him like i hope

00:41:51.820 we don't get charged like andrew i i'm staying out of this like if we get if we get like the

00:41:56.460 charge for this it's falling on you you're the managing editor you know i know you don't always

00:41:59.900 know your words but uh this this definitely fell on you hr complaints can be filed to william mcbeth

00:42:07.020 who will probably half of the youtube comments are going to say andrew is a groomer you know it's

00:42:10.860 not going to be great for your reputation i think that word gets us like demonetized anyway

00:42:19.980 all right uh we can't end on that so let's just very briefly as we wind down here uh talk about

00:42:26.300 foreign policy here uh specifically the poop balloon uh north korea has been sending its waste 0.91

00:42:33.260 over the dmz towards south korea they've been loading it up with human waste and excrement this 0.91

00:42:41.100 is a response to uh usb drives with anti-north korean messages that north korea has been sending

00:42:47.820 or south korea has been sending north uh north korea has and k-pop too because you got to have some

00:42:52.220 k-pop in there uh north korea has said uh take your k-pop and shove it and they've uh sent back

00:42:59.100 this uh human fecal matter instead so uh if there's ever a balloon flying overhead do not 0.57

00:43:04.780 for the love of all that is holy shoot it while it's over you all right that does it for us for

00:43:09.260 today uh rachel emmanuel noah jarvis good to have you on the show here this is off the record and

00:43:14.300 everything you've heard is off the record this show can never see the light of day i feel like

00:43:26.940 it would be so um great if all wars were fought with just poop balloons and i was thinking about

00:43:32.780 that and i was like well naturally the united states would win they could just send all over

00:43:37.020 joe biden's depends to their enemies you know if i was that line or did you just come up with that

00:43:44.380 i was just thinking about it as we were talking about it i was like well you know the states has

00:43:47.260 this in their hands so because that was the big joke this week is that he was like pooping on

00:43:51.020 stage which i don't think he was but it was like it's the meme that like ben shapiro i think it said

00:43:56.140 if like john donald trump doesn't start calling him poopy joe it's a missed opportunity sleepy joe poopy joe 0.58

00:44:02.780 what else do we have i think election election campaigns should be able to send poop balloons

00:44:09.820 over to rival uh campaign offices you know just as like a sort of campaign warfare no no this isn't

00:44:15.660 a third world country we don't want that here we don't want that here no well but spicing it up you 1.00

00:44:20.300 want do i have a newsletter for you
