00:00:00.000 Welcome to the Candice Malcolm Show. My name is Candice Malcolm. It is great. Wait, wait a minute.
00:00:10.520 No, this is fake. This must be fake news Friday. That was definitely not true. It is the Candice
00:00:15.520 Malcolm Show. I'm not Candice Malcolm. That would be a horrible, horrible, horrible thing
00:00:20.200 to have happened to the wonderful Candice Malcolm if she came on air looking like this. No,
00:00:24.240 I am Andrew Lawton. Thank you so much for tuning in. As you know, if you are a longtime viewer and
00:00:29.680 listener of the Candice Malcolm Show, we do things a little bit differently. At the end of the week,
00:00:33.860 we look back at the week that was, and we point out the best and, well, often not the best, but the
00:00:39.560 most accurate examples of media inaccuracy, perverse as that sounds. And to do so this week, we have
00:00:46.880 True North journalist and producer Harrison Faulkner. Harrison, welcome. Good to talk to you.
00:00:51.980 Happy to be here, Andrew. Happy to get into some more fake news stories.
00:00:55.180 Yes, we are shining light on the darkness of the legacy media, or so often that's how it feels.
00:01:01.700 And there's actually a few to get through. We're going to try to cover a lot of ground here in the
00:01:06.060 time that we are doing this show. But the big one I have to start off with, and I should say,
00:01:11.080 this is not just a Canadian fake news story at this point. This is one that has traveled around
00:01:16.320 the globe. I've had people from, I had someone from Hungary this morning message me saying what the
00:01:21.960 heck is going on in Canada. It is a clip from a Quebec television show on Nouveau, hosted by
00:01:28.660 Julie Snyder. And this is one of those things where I don't think I could set it up as well
00:01:34.180 as the clip itself does. So why don't you take a look?
00:01:37.060 On voyage, est-ce que vous avez vos vaccins, vous autres?
00:01:39.640 Oui. Tous les deux, on a une seule dose.
00:01:41.940 Ah oui? Est-ce que vous êtes d'accord, vous autres, avec la vaccination obligatoire?
00:01:45.960 Oui. Oui? Ah oui, hein?
00:01:47.980 Wow. On dirait que j'ai essayé de riller, Julie.
00:01:49.400 Oui? Oui? Ah oui, oui.
00:01:51.120 Puis qu'est-ce qu'on devrait faire avec les gens qui veulent pas se faire vacciner?
00:01:54.220 On devrait appeler la police.
00:01:57.100 Ou? Oui? Oui? Oui?
00:01:58.860 S'ils ont pas leur vaccin, ça peut mettre beaucoup de personnes en danger.
00:02:02.780 Fait comme le gouvernement est en train de faire en ce moment, il faut leur couper,
00:02:06.720 petites choses à petites, jusqu'à temps qu'ils se donnent pis qu'ils se fassent vacciner.
00:02:11.020 En tout cas, on a des futurs politiciens à côté de nous. Merci. Merci beaucoup à tous vos amis.
00:02:15.740 Now, I realize that not all of you may have caught the captions.
00:02:18.740 Some of you may be listening to the podcast.
00:02:20.760 You didn't have the benefit of seeing it.
00:02:22.480 Harrison and I are going to walk through this here.
00:02:24.980 We're going to do a reenactment of sorts.
00:02:27.620 We're not going to do it in French.
00:02:28.620 We're going to do it in English for you.
00:02:30.200 Because I want you to just understand the absurdity of it.
00:02:33.440 Because I'm the host, Harrison is stuck playing the children.
00:02:36.320 But I'm going to play Julie Snyder here.
00:02:38.940 So Julie starts off by asking these kids, and I don't know how old they are,
00:02:42.740 but they look like they're maybe, what, eight, nine years old.
00:02:45.280 Are you in favor of mandatory vaccination?
00:02:48.720 Yes.
00:02:49.940 And then there's someone else that says, it looks like I drill them,
00:02:52.660 because the kids all nod up and down like automatons.
00:02:55.860 Julie, what should we do with the people who don't want the vaccine?
00:02:59.660 Kids, we should call the police.
00:03:02.620 Yes, yes, yes.
00:03:04.340 Yes.
00:03:06.320 Kids, what the government does now, we should cut everything from them,
00:03:10.140 little by little, until they submit and get vaccinated.
00:03:13.260 It looks like we have some future politicians here.
00:03:17.200 Now, we are both waiting with our arms outstretched for our Emmys for that performance.
00:03:22.220 Thank you very much.
00:03:23.320 I'd like to thank Harrison and Candace, who will certainly never invite me back.
00:03:27.380 But this is what happened.
00:03:29.080 This was on television.
00:03:30.140 I'm making light of it, but this was a serious point.
00:03:32.240 The host of this show went on and not only asked kids what they should do with the unvaccinated 1.00
00:03:38.880 and let the kids answer in a way that I assume they only got from their parents,
00:03:42.760 then cheered them on as they said they wanted to throw the unvaccinated in jail. 1.00
00:03:49.020 This is on Canadian television.
00:03:50.840 Julie Snyder has since apologized for the question,
00:03:53.480 but I don't really buy it because she chose to ask that.
00:03:56.520 This was part of the show, and more importantly, all the people cheering it along.
00:04:00.400 This is what they believe.
00:04:02.600 Yeah, and here's the thing, Andrew.
00:04:04.240 Obviously, what we've known is that there's something really, really wrong going on in Quebec these days.
00:04:09.480 The amount of pressure that they're putting on unvaccinated people,
00:04:12.800 the language that the government is using against them, it's really disgusting.
00:04:17.560 And here's the thing about Julie Snyder and this program she runs. 1.00
00:04:20.660 They actually ran in September of 2020 or 2021, but before this, months before this,
00:04:28.700 they ran a segment in a classroom where it appears that they're the same people that were on that program,
00:04:34.620 the same kids, and they were talking about the same sort of thing.
00:04:37.960 They were talking about how this is what we need to do to the unvaccinated. 1.00
00:04:41.020 We need to lock them up, keep them in their homes, and make sure that they don't spread the virus.
00:04:46.780 So they're using kids to push the government message, and really, it brings up the worst imagery,
00:04:52.840 as we've seen using children for propaganda.
00:04:57.320 But here's the thing.
00:04:58.140 Obviously, there's been a lot of pushback with this story.
00:05:02.900 And just when this story came out, when this clip kind of was translated into English and spread,
00:05:08.660 a lot of people took issue with it, and a petition was started to have her booted from Nouveau,
00:05:14.200 which is run by Bell, and that has 45,000 signatures already.
00:05:19.100 So clearly, this is not being received well, and they're trying to backtrack.
00:05:23.180 But what can you say?
00:05:24.420 It's disgusting.
00:05:26.180 It's scary to watch.
00:05:28.920 And really, you just want to see, we need to see this stuff change.
00:05:34.380 This is just far beyond what should be acceptable.
00:05:37.620 Children should not be used to push the government message.
00:05:39.940 And when you see that, you know something is really wrong.
00:05:43.700 And some of the biggest names on Twitter, some of the biggest names in Canada, like Jordan
00:05:48.960 Peterson, he chimed in on this and called it appalling.
00:05:52.600 Gina Carano, who was in The Mandalorian and who's now with Daily Wire, she tweeted this and
00:05:57.500 said, neighbors turning on neighbors, even children, so sad, such a slippery slope, and
00:06:02.140 now we have kids reciting this.
00:06:03.620 And even True North's Cosman Georgia wrote on Twitter, they stole the future of our children,
00:06:09.680 and now they're using them to peddle their hatred.
00:06:11.980 Sick and deranged.
00:06:12.800 And I frankly couldn't agree more, Andrew.
00:06:14.900 Yeah, Cosman's point is actually an interesting one here, because I say actually, like I'm
00:06:19.620 not surprised, like I'm surprised.
00:06:20.800 No, no, no, he makes lots of interesting points.
00:06:22.400 But this particular one, because no child that I've heard of, and I don't have kids, but
00:06:27.300 I've got nephews, I've got friends who have kids, I've known kids, I read what parents
00:06:31.500 are saying online, no kids are excited about this.
00:06:34.540 No kids are happy to be out of school right now.
00:06:37.260 So the idea that these kids are like the most lockdown happy restriction happy kids in
00:06:42.180 the world, like I hope that they aren't representative of a larger group.
00:06:45.800 That other clip you mentioned from September, we have here.
00:06:48.640 I want to roll that for you.
00:07:01.500 We'll spare you the reenactment of that one.
00:07:19.720 But basically, as Harrison said, it's one of the girls in question says, the pandemic
00:07:24.900 means we have to lock up people in their homes, because if not, they will start to talk and
00:07:30.260 touch each other, and they will give each other the virus and then give it to others
00:07:34.020 and others, which just means that everyone will get it, and many people will die.
00:07:37.980 And she's saying it with a smile, like a good student.
00:07:39.980 But basically, these children have been programmed to believe and recite.
00:07:44.080 And the French media in Quebec, Nouveau, is fueling this, that if you don't lock people
00:07:50.700 in their homes or jail the unvaccinated, that there's just going to be like mass casualties, 0.83
00:07:55.080 everyone's going to die.
00:07:56.160 And it is child abuse to put children here.
00:07:58.420 Like, I don't like when I see kids at protests.
00:08:00.600 I don't like when I see kids that are forced into situations where they're making a point
00:08:05.340 because people think if a kid makes it, they're going to be like, oh, that's so cute, instead
00:08:08.860 of engaging with the actual arguments.
00:08:11.580 But what's happening here is you've got legacy media that are fueling that very dynamic.
00:08:17.180 Yeah.
00:08:17.880 And, you know, speaking of Bell, speaking of Nouveau, which is run by Bell, CTV News, also
00:08:23.460 owned by Bell, they had a little moment last week, I believe it was, that we need to get
00:08:29.400 into.
00:08:30.360 They ran a segment called Week in Review, in which they basically spent the entire time
00:08:35.460 criticizing Spotify, who own the Joe Rogan podcast.
00:08:39.360 They were criticizing Spotify for not censoring Joe Rogan, because recently Joe Rogan, as
00:08:45.060 I'm sure most of you know, did an interview with Dr. Robert Malone, and it has been watched
00:08:50.500 tens of millions.
00:08:52.340 I think it's 20 million views, something wild.
00:08:55.460 It's really one of the most popular podcasts of all time.
00:08:57.820 And to give you some context here, a group of 200 plus doctors, they, I say doctors, they're
00:09:06.980 not doctors.
00:09:07.860 It turns out that the majority of them are not direct medical providers or not even legally
00:09:12.700 permitted to practice medicine on their own.
00:09:14.880 And nearly 100 of them hold PhDs, not medical degrees.
00:09:18.860 And they basically criticized Spotify for not censoring Joe Rogan.
00:09:23.140 So CTV News picked this up.
00:09:25.020 They invited two people on the show.
00:09:27.740 One of these guests is this no-name podcast host, Neil Headley.
00:09:33.380 And the other one is a morning radio host here in Toronto.
00:09:37.100 I want to play this clip because it really shows you just how convinced and focused the legacy
00:09:46.180 media are in censoring any kind of conversation that goes against the legacy media narrative
00:09:54.500 on COVID that could potentially lead those people to have a difference of opinion on vaccines.
00:09:58.920 But here's the thing about Joe Rogan.
00:10:00.800 Joe Rogan is Joe Rogan, much like your, let's pick a major fast food drive-thru.
00:10:08.160 Joe Rogan, and this is from the inside on the podcast industry side, Joe Rogan makes really
00:10:13.340 tasty garbage like so many of the fast food chains do.
00:10:17.300 It's stuff that's not good for you, but people consume it en masse.
00:10:21.340 I actually listen to Joe Rogan's podcast, even though it's not healthy.
00:10:25.020 I listen to it, and I know a lot of people listen to it, and I know it's so popular.
00:10:30.800 The likelihood that they'll do something, I don't think very likely, but they need to.
00:10:36.160 They need to because, unfortunately, because COVID has been so politicized, it's been allowed
00:10:41.580 to have all this misinformation around it.
00:10:45.140 If this was like the AIDS crisis, you could not possibly go on the air and spread misinformation.
00:10:51.560 If this was cancer, tuberculosis, any other crisis that didn't have politics around it,
00:10:57.640 you couldn't do it because it would be false, it'd be offensive, and it'd be dangerous.
00:11:03.100 But COVID got politicized, and now you can say all these really wild things about it,
00:11:08.040 and people will actually believe it and defend it.
00:11:10.000 And it's crazy because people are dying and getting sick around it.
00:11:14.900 It's unbelievable.
00:11:16.080 Do you hear a lot of COVID misinformation when you listen?
00:11:18.460 It's a lot of debates.
00:11:19.680 They'll have these debates around the ivermectin, and, oh, I've got the T-cells, and I've got
00:11:27.680 immunity, and it's all these debates.
00:11:30.080 And it's like, a lot of it's just not the facts from real.
00:11:33.420 They'll have doctors who are coming on and trying to have competing. 1.00
00:11:37.180 Sanjay Gupta was on there the other day competing with Joe Rogan.
00:11:40.260 You know, so, you know, it's a lot of debates, but some of the information just should not
00:11:45.600 be allowed to be spread on such a wide scale.
00:11:48.900 And two quotes I want to pull from that clip.
00:11:51.660 The first is from this Headley, this Neil Headley, who runs this podcast, which no one
00:11:57.480 has ever heard of.
00:11:58.860 He says, the thing about Joe Rogan is that he makes really tasty garbage.
00:12:03.000 It's stuff that's not good for you, but people consume it en masse.
00:12:06.680 And then this other quote from Jamar McNeil, he says, I listen to the Joe Rogan podcast,
00:12:11.960 even though it's not healthy, COVID got politicized, and now people can say whatever they want and
00:12:16.560 all these wild things.
00:12:18.280 And he says, and he goes on to say, actually, what makes Joe Rogan's podcast problematic
00:12:23.460 is that there are a lot of debates, and it's not just the facts.
00:12:27.840 So apparently, Andrew, having debates with people from both sides of an opinion is wrong.
00:12:33.900 Yeah, I mean, there's a lot to this, because on one hand, I believe that TV should be able
00:12:41.060 to have the debate that they're having about whether someone should be listened to or whether
00:12:45.600 someone should be taken seriously.
00:12:46.960 That's all fair game.
00:12:48.260 But when you start saying so-and-so should be deplatformed, which was really the premise
00:12:52.820 of this panel, that Joe Rogan should not have distribution, his podcast should not exist
00:12:57.780 on Spotify, they're saying that we believe that we are the gatekeepers of who deserves to
00:13:02.480 be heard. And Joe Rogan has an audience that the vast majority of Canadian media outlets
00:13:07.340 would absolutely just give their left kidney and their firstborn for. He has a lot more
00:13:13.820 legitimacy than most legacy media. Now, it's not a popularity contest, just because you
00:13:19.180 have more listeners, doesn't mean you're more right, doesn't mean your facts are better
00:13:22.260 than their facts, but it does mean that you can't be discounted. If you want to go up
00:13:26.500 against Joe Rogan, start refuting, start combating it, start having these debates,
00:13:31.440 but you're only able to unlock the truth through that process of debate, not through silencing
00:13:36.740 others. And it's very rich coming from a legacy media outlet to have this discussion about
00:13:41.540 who doesn't deserve an audience, who doesn't deserve to be heard. Well, whether you like it
00:13:45.740 or not, audiences are not choosing you, they're choosing Joe Rogan.
00:13:48.800 Absolutely. And Andrew, one other thing too. So Joe Rogan has this massive audience. Is CTV
00:13:55.740 telling us that they couldn't find one person to defend Joe Rogan? They couldn't find one person
00:14:00.800 on this panel or in Canada to defend Joe Rogan having the platform that he does? One in which,
00:14:07.740 as you said, so many people just love, they love his podcast. They take it as a breath of fresh air.
00:14:13.960 No wonder. This is what you get on legacy media. You get one-sided opinion and political opinion at
00:14:20.700 that versus Joe Rogan, who has different guests of different opinions, different guests of different
00:14:26.280 experiences, and they cover all different topics. So really, it's no surprise that Rogan has the
00:14:31.340 audience he does and that CTV has a dwindling audience that they have.
00:14:35.640 Yeah. And again, I don't want to just pick entirely on Bell Media here. There's lots of fake news to go
00:14:40.840 around. In fact, even across the border, this story needs to be mentioned here. The Wall Street Journal,
00:14:46.000 who generally I find is pretty good on economic issues and on energy issues. So this one really
00:14:51.060 surprised me, wrote a very lengthy story in which they've talked about Canada's oil sands. And if you
00:14:57.380 were reading through it, you'd get basically the impression that this was just the worst thing in
00:15:02.700 the world, the Canadian energy sector. That was how a lot of the so-called facts that they were
00:15:08.160 talking about in this article, which you can see up here. One of the world's dirtiest oil patches is
00:15:13.480 pumping more than ever, are ripped right out of the environmental activist playbook. Now, whether
00:15:18.460 that's just because that's what the reporter believes, or that's just the only research he did,
00:15:22.220 I have no idea. But I want to go through this because one of my big frustrations here is that a 1.00
00:15:27.660 lot of the things in there are very demonstrably combated. Like one of the claim in the article
00:15:32.760 is, as you see in the headline there, that this is one of the world's dirtiest oil patches.
00:15:38.280 And the reality is far from this. So what we do know is that emissions, if we start using all of
00:15:44.860 these terms that are supposed to be good to the environmental left, emissions have decreased by
00:15:49.180 over a quarter since 2013. And global production has gone down by less than half of that. And more
00:15:56.560 importantly, oil sands producers have all linked arms and said, we're going to go to net zero. So
00:16:01.260 they're doing exactly what all industry is being told to do by the folks that, you know, COP26 and
00:16:06.680 whatever. There is also, I mean, this one's just basic math. And I have to give credit, the Canadian 0.98
00:16:13.200 Energy Center found this number. The article says the oil sands cover an 88,000 square mile area
00:16:19.460 in Northeast Alberta. That's not right. It's 55,000 square miles. And you may think that's not all that
00:16:25.740 relevant. But it is because if you can misrepresent by, you know, 60% the size of the area you're
00:16:32.980 crapping on, then surely what else are you missing out and on and misrepresenting will be the question
00:16:38.740 I'd ask. And incidentally, only 3% of that area is ever used for oil sands mining. Another fact here
00:16:45.840 that was put out that's not true, that oil sands and tailing ponds are, quote, arguably the most visible
00:16:52.680 human scars on the planet, unquote. Now, again, the Canadian Energy Center did a lot of the research
00:16:59.560 here, but you can verify it all. And that's what's so disheartening about this. You could quite easily
00:17:04.660 look up these numbers and challenge them, which it does not seem like the Wall Street Journal did.
00:17:09.860 The tailings, settling basins and the oil sands are covering 175 square kilometers. So that's
00:17:15.260 one fifth the size of New York City. If you compare it with China, which is the beneficiary of a lot of the 0.98
00:17:21.140 production that we don't do domestically, has its Three Gorges Dam, which includes a 386 square mile
00:17:28.220 artificial lake reservoir. So, I mean, these may seem like abstractions, but the point is, you can't
00:17:33.100 say this is one of the worst in the world when you can quite easily point elsewhere in the world and
00:17:37.180 say, well, you know, that's massively larger. And also, producers have spent $10 billion collectively to
00:17:43.660 reduce this very problem. So in Canada, when the industry is left alone, it comes up with solutions
00:17:49.860 to all of these challenges. And then there's also this one here in the article, that investment in
00:17:55.760 existing oil stands projects has stalled, and banks are refusing to fund new ones. So production is booming.
00:18:02.160 There are a lot of barriers to it. Certainly, the carbon tax, other government measures, there is some
00:18:07.900 move towards divestment, they call it. Activists encouraging banks to not finance anything in the energy
00:18:13.760 sector. But these are still minority positions. So what's happening is Alberta's oil production last
00:18:19.880 year reached a record and is still growing. So again, very easily debunked, they say it's in
00:18:24.540 decline, the facts tell a different story. So quite a bit of fake news, there were probably some other
00:18:29.940 numbers I missed there. To be honest, even the commas were probably not in the right places. But
00:18:34.240 I digress. But yeah, amazing how diligently they fact check the energy sector, which would seem to be
00:18:40.000 not at all. Well, exactly. And here's the thing, Andrew, if this story was written about, perhaps
00:18:45.520 an energy, an energy or oil patch somewhere else outside of Canada, or outside of the United States,
00:18:51.260 I can almost guarantee that Reuters, AP, the fact checkers would come out and slap a fact check on
00:18:58.440 this article, we found four facts that were we found for, you know, facts that the article brought up,
00:19:04.780 but it's a lengthy article. So there's probably some that we missed in there. And so yeah, I just wonder,
00:19:09.580 when will Aramco and the other oil producers in the Middle East commit to the same emissions
00:19:18.180 targets and emissions reduction targets as the Canadian producers have? And like you said,
00:19:23.860 where are the fact checkers? Where's Reuters? Where's AP? Where are the others that like to
00:19:29.080 so often come down on news that they don't find to be factual, when in reality, most of the time,
00:19:35.520 it's just political news they don't like? Yeah, for sure. And just as we close things out here,
00:19:41.180 I want to point out that we also like to give credit where it's due. As a longtime viewer of
00:19:46.000 Fake News Friday, I know that CBC is a preferred target in the metaphorical crosshairs. But this is
00:19:52.860 a week where CBC mistakenly, I think, got it right. If you watch CBC's Instagram, which I don't know why,
00:20:01.080 but if, if you do, I'm doing the hard work so you don't have to. You may have seen they actually gave
00:20:05.520 some advice on how to prepare for COVID. And this was like a rare example of non-fake COVID news here
00:20:12.540 and non-paranoia. CBC says, experts say most Canadians will get exposed to the virus at some
00:20:18.720 point. Here's how to make the isolation and illness a little easier if you get sick.
00:20:23.440 They say you should prepare for COVID-19 infection by keeping on top of chores so you're not dealing with
00:20:29.400 them well sick because you're shoveling the driveway might be challenging if you've got the
00:20:33.360 Omicron or some other variation of COVID. So you should make your bed and shovel your driveway and
00:20:39.780 do whatever else when you can so that you're not sidelined by COVID. And then stocking up on soups,
00:20:45.080 decaf teas, honey, lemon, and lime to help nourish yourself and hydrate yourself. And purchasing
00:20:51.440 lozenges in case you get a sore throat. Nothing in here about ICUs, nothing about ventilators,
00:20:57.460 nothing about not being able to breathe. They're saying all you need to do to weather COVID right
00:21:01.540 now is do your chores, buy some tea, and keep an inventory of lozenges. And Harrison, I mean,
00:21:09.140 this is fine. I think there's nothing wrong with this. This is honestly how most people with the
00:21:14.460 Omicron variant are getting by. But this doesn't jive with other CBC coverage, even pretty recently
00:21:20.560 about COVID.
00:21:21.260 No, not at all. And yeah, like the CBC, they're basically the, they're our punching bag on fake
00:21:27.460 news Friday. They always give us material. If we're short one week, we can just jump onto the CBC and
00:21:32.300 find something last minute. So for our story this week, we were able to find something that I'm sure
00:21:37.060 the editors missed when they published it. But yeah, this is coming from the same CBC that just this
00:21:42.600 month published two opinion pieces. They call them kind of first person when, when they have a doctor
00:21:48.500 write about their experiences. Just for example, this was, I think a week ago or a week or two ago,
00:21:54.240 and they wrote, they published an article called, this is what a 16 hour hospital shift looks like
00:21:59.400 for me while Omicron rages. And this doctor who I'm sure has a very difficult job and a job that we
00:22:06.720 all thank, thank her to do. But she writes, despite being entrenched on the front lines of the pandemic
00:22:11.840 for two years, this wave feels different. Thankfully, people are less sick this time around due to
00:22:16.580 vaccination and property of this new variant. Nevertheless, because it is so contagious,
00:22:20.500 the sheer volume of people who are sick is that much higher. So like you said, this definitely
00:22:25.080 jive with the typical CBC editorial position of fear mongering and pumping up the concern around
00:22:33.080 Omicron. And I guess apparently someone decided that actually, no, it's not that bad. We'll just,
00:22:38.700 we'll just treat it with lozenges and tea. Yeah. And there was another story that I liked as well,
00:22:43.320 which again, runs directly counter to what the Instagram department at CBC is coming out with.
00:22:47.980 They say, how to build resilience when there's no end in sight to the pandemic. So on one hand,
00:22:52.400 there's no end in sight, but on the other hand, all you need is tea and lozenges. Now,
00:22:56.340 whichever side you're on, the fact that these two conflicting narratives are being published by CBC
00:23:00.800 means inherently one of them has to be fake news. I know which one I think it is, but you can decide
00:23:05.680 for yourselves. That does it for this edition of Fake News Friday on this January 21st, 2022.
00:23:12.800 My thanks to Harrison Faulkner for coming along here. Candace Malgan will be back in her rightful
00:23:18.000 place next week, but it's been a pleasure, everyone. Thank you.
