00:00:00.000A desperate Justin Trudeau splurges to win a Security Council seat at the United Nations,
00:00:04.620Canadian energy projects grind to a halt again, and the left shows his true character by attacking
00:00:09.620Jordan Peterson in his time of need. I'm Candace Malcolm and this is The Candace Malcolm Show.
00:00:19.740Hi everyone, thank you so much for tuning into the program. I am audio only this week,
00:00:24.940there'll be clips and there'll be other footage for the videos, but I don't have my camera with
00:00:30.880me. I am on a little sabbatical. I'm down in California with my family, spending some time
00:00:35.640relaxing, also working on a few bigger projects for True North. So bear with us for the next few
00:00:41.060episodes. We will not have video, but hopefully you will enjoy the show nonetheless. So today I
00:00:46.880want to talk, let's talk about Justin Trudeau trying, desperately trying to create a legacy for
00:00:51.860himself. So he is splurging, spending money, spending taxpayer dollars, trying to win a seat
00:00:57.660on the Security Council at the United Nations. To me, this is sort of a useless, this is a useless
00:01:03.380endeavor. This is just, you know, maybe at one point in the past, the United Nations Security Council
00:01:09.480was a very important place to be and a very influential place where you could, you could
00:01:14.540really have an impact and assert yourself and create a real impact on the global stage. Well,
00:01:21.160the United Nations is just sort of a mess. Everybody knows this. It's a real corrupt body
00:01:27.400full of sort of the world's worst dictators and despots meeting together. It really, you
00:01:33.420know, it's a place for people to feel important, but they don't really do anything. You know,
00:01:38.360the real players, the real actors on the world stage are the individual nations, you know,
00:01:43.560especially with a strong leader like Donald Trump in the United States, who's actually putting
00:01:48.020forth ideas and putting forth policies and plans to try to build a better world. If you look at,
00:01:54.480you know, his deal of the century that he just announced, creating a state, proposing a state
00:01:58.820for the Palestinian people and a peace deal with Israel. I mean, that's action. That's that's the
00:02:03.740sort of legacy deal that you create. Whereas, you know, with Justin Trudeau, you just sort of see
00:02:08.440this desperate politicized attempt to try to get a seat on the United Nations Security Council.
00:02:13.340It became politicized and political recently. It didn't used to be a thing. It used to be that
00:02:18.200sort of, you know, all the parties in Ottawa would come together to help support a bid for
00:02:23.520the United Nations. Well, the liberals severely undermined the conservative bid. So under Stephen
00:02:28.060Harper, the conservatives tried to have a bid back in 2011. The liberals at the time undermined it.
00:02:33.140They said that the conservatives didn't deserve it. Michael Ignacev was the leader of the liberal
00:02:36.620party. He's sort of a big wig in terms of foreign policy and international relations theory. And so
00:02:43.280as a sort of major player on the world stage himself, him casting doubt over Canada's ability
00:02:48.900to sit on that seat with Harper, a lot of people blamed that for the reason why Canada didn't get
00:02:54.500it. Also, Canada didn't really do what it needed to. I don't think that conservatives really place the
00:02:59.480same amount of value as the liberals do on something like this. The idea was that, you know,
00:03:04.680in order to get a seat on the UN Security Council, you have to kind of wine and dine the worst people
00:03:10.180in the world, the worst people under the planet, not just UN bureaucrats, but you have to convince
00:03:15.220other nations that you are worthy of their vote. So you have to sort of, you know, schmooze with these
00:03:22.200corrupt dictatorships and just really, truly horrible people. And that's what we're seeing
00:03:26.660right now. That's what the liberals are doing. So Justin Trudeau has just committed $10 million to
00:03:32.780African nations, of course, to help promote gender equality. And this really is just, you know,
00:03:39.320a bid to sort of help bribe people, bribe these nations that may consider voting for Canada
00:03:45.140on the United Nations Security Council. Canada spent millions and millions of dollars
00:03:49.080trying to get this seat under Trudeau. Basically, the council has 15 members, five are permanent,
00:03:57.140and then 10 are elected by the Assembly for two-year terms. So this year, there are three
00:04:03.020different countries that are bidding. It's Ireland, Norway, and Canada. So the three countries will bid
00:04:09.780for the two seats. And so, you know, you have to assume that all the European countries are going
00:04:15.640to vote for either Ireland or Norway, which is why Trudeau has his eyes set on Africa and bribing those
00:04:21.880African nations for a seat. This is reading from John Iveson's recent piece in the United Nations.
00:04:28.780This is really just kind of cringeworthy, the kind of stuff where, you know, this is where Canadian
00:04:35.360taxpayer dollars are going. So this is from Iveson's piece. It says, Trudeau will attempt to make deals
00:04:40.520with leaders from countries like Tanzania, which Amnesty International recently accused of ruthlessly
00:04:46.580disemboweling its human rights framework. The Democratic Republic of Congo, which stands accused
00:04:53.040of despoiling tropical forests and endemic violence. South Sudan, where the UN says war crimes have taken
00:05:00.960place, and Kenya, where Human Rights Watch says police have been responsible for disappearances
00:05:06.160and extrajudicial killing. Iveson notes that Canada already sends nearly $2 billion in overseas aid
00:05:14.420to a host of countries in Africa, including the four above listing. So not only is Canada spending
00:05:21.560millions of dollars directly on the bid in terms of like sending staff over there to try to schmooze,
00:05:27.780to try to wine and dine, all the costs of just trying to get the seat, add that to the billions,
00:05:33.480$2 billion plus that we send in aid to sort of try to appease and bribe all these countries. I mean,
00:05:39.480you just have to imagine like, what is this all for? What is the end result? Other than
00:05:44.060Justin Trudeau desperately trying to create a legacy, create a sort of name for himself. But
00:05:49.920really, what does Justin Trudeau stand for? What is his legacy? What does he even believe in when it
00:05:54.900comes to foreign policy? I mean, there was so much talk when he got elected, all the sort of
00:05:59.900sort of arrogant, braggy, boasting, saying Canada is back, the kind of equating the Liberal Party is
00:06:08.940Canada and Canada is the Liberal Party. So you know, you kind of at least expect him to have some
00:06:14.200kind of a foreign policy. But really, what have we what have we seen from Justin Trudeau, we saw him
00:06:19.000severely embarrass the entire country when he went to India. Not only did he dance around in ridiculous
00:06:25.360costumes and literally dance before giving a speech. But he also brought a terrorist with him as part of
00:06:32.600his entourage, which was exactly the thing that the Indian government was criticizing him for was
00:06:38.240snubbing him for was refusing to meet with members of his inner cabinet because they said, Look, you
00:06:43.600don't take the threat of Calistani terrorism seriously. Justin Trudeau was in India to try to
00:06:49.340sort of say, Oh, yeah, we do we do take it seriously. And lo and behold, he brought a terrorist with him on a
00:06:55.600mission. So that was just completely embarrassing for all of Canada on the world stage. That's far from the
00:07:01.520only time that Trudeau has totally missed had a misstep on his foreign policy. I mean, look at
00:07:07.500what's happening with China. Look at the look at the extradition of the Huawei executive that came to
00:07:14.140Vancouver. I mean, why was she even permitted to come into Canada if there was an outstanding warrant
00:07:19.720for her in the United States? And look at the situation with the two Michaels, the two Canadian men
00:07:24.340being held hostage basically as political prisoners without charges in China. Trudeau is just completely
00:07:30.640impotent at dealing with that. And then again, it's just one of 100 examples. He was basically
00:07:37.000laughed out of the trade deal with NAFTA. Trump turned his back on him and Trudeau was placed in a
00:07:42.380situation where he had to beg and grovel just to be able to be part of the new NAFTA deal.
00:07:47.700You know, Canada has again and again and again failed to walk away with trade deals when it comes to,
00:07:55.240you know, Japan, New Zealand, China, Australia. We've had major issues and a total inability
00:08:00.300to get that done. So Trudeau's policy, Trudeau's legacy is just really not that much. And so you
00:08:07.780kind of see this as a desperate attempt. You know, we know Justin Trudeau is a feminist. We know he
00:08:12.200loves to brag about himself and talk about how great he is at these sort of international meetings.
00:08:17.460But again, when it comes to policy, there's not much there. So we're left bribing the worst of the
00:08:23.880worst in terms of right now, African despots, giving them money to supposedly what focus on
00:08:31.460building gender equality. I'm sorry to say, I think that that is a probably a pretty low priority
00:08:37.160when you're dealing with a tin puck dictatorship that allows no economic freedom, you know, human
00:08:44.300rights abuses, warring factions, terrorism, terrorist insurgencies, all of the issues that some of
00:08:51.300these African nations face. The idea of, you know, enhancing gender equality is probably pretty
00:08:56.440low on the list. I think, you know, securing basic safety, the rule of law, you know, creating jobs,
00:09:03.720those are probably a bit more high on the priority list, as opposed to what making sure that there are
00:09:08.760equal political representation of men and women. I mean, it's, it's silly, you know, you could say,
00:09:15.920making sure that there's education available to both boys and girls would be a good start. But,
00:09:21.640you know, to many of these countries, they don't even have the basic education for anybody is it's
00:09:26.200not like it's one sided. So, again, this is just sort of a fool's errand. And I find it really
00:09:31.760desperate and pathetic. Trudeau is so focused on this institution that really lacks credibility,
00:09:38.000really lacks influence. It's not the United Nations that it was, you know, a few decades ago,
00:09:43.460and having a seat at Security Council doesn't doesn't do anything. It doesn't create any kind
00:09:48.320of impact on the world stage. And, you know, Trudeau is just kind of grasping at straws these
00:09:53.360days to try to stay relevant and try to do anything that would kind of impress Canadians. I don't know
00:09:59.400if you saw a recent polling found that only four out of 10 Canadians approves of Justin Trudeau and
00:10:05.200his role as Prime Minister. And, you know, it's not surprising, he's not really doing anything. He's
00:10:11.340just not very relevant these days. And things aren't going very well for him.
00:10:16.200Okay, moving on, I feel like we talk about this topic a lot on the program. But, you know, there's
00:10:21.540just new stories that pop up every single week that again, just illustrate this point, that Canada is
00:10:27.360a country that is fundamentally broken, we cannot get things done, we cannot get things built, we can't
00:10:32.760build the critical infrastructure needed to get the economy moving to get our resources to market,
00:10:39.780to have a functioning country with a functioning economy. And so over the weekend, there were sort
00:10:47.120of headlines that dominated over protesters who were protesting against the coastal gas link
00:10:53.580pipeline, which is a $6.2 billion pipeline that would transport natural gas from northern British
00:11:01.620Columbia, northeastern British Columbia, out to the coast. Well, as we've seen over and over and
00:11:06.240again, there are just a couple of very, you know, well organized, well funded, media savvy protest
00:11:13.580groups that just tend to use the hecklers veto, they, they insert themselves right in the middle of the
00:11:20.580project, they prevent Canadian workers from doing their jobs, which again, create creates this sort of
00:11:26.580domino effect of Canadian jobs being put at risk, Canadians being unable to go to work, because they cannot get their
00:11:36.140products to market. And instead of, you know, society in our country viewing these people as they are,
00:11:42.480which is basically a thorn in the side of our economy that is causing great economic turmoil for untold numbers of
00:11:50.820families, of families that are unable to, you know, have the livelihood that they once had because of these
00:11:58.100essentially spoiled brats throwing a temper tantrum. We don't view protesters with this sort of disdain that we should,
00:12:04.160they're undermining the rule of law, they're undermining faith in the market, they're, they're undermining the ability of our
00:12:10.220country to, to function. And instead of viewing them as they are, they sort of get celebrated, they get held up as these sort of
00:12:17.600heroic figures, and the media really, really, really does a disservice to this. So, over the weekend, there were a lot of media
00:12:25.760stories because there were protesters who were blocking the train tracks near Belleville, Ontario. So, these protesters got on the
00:12:33.760train tracks, blocked Via Rail, which is a commuter train that takes folks from, you know, Toronto up to Ottawa over to
00:12:39.760Montreal, and they blocked the train. So, Via Rail had to suspend its service between Toronto and Ottawa on a Sunday afternoon in, you know, what does it, what does a
00:12:47.760pipeline going from northeastern British Columbia out to the coast, the west coast, what does it have to do with Ontario? Why is Ontario, you know, why are they blocking critical infrastructure in that part of the country?
00:13:03.760It really is mind boggling why they do these kind of things. But again, instead, you know, this was all over the news. And instead of
00:13:11.760treating these people with absolute scorn, for undermining the rule of law for blocking people's ability to, you know, get home to their
00:13:19.600families and get and get to work or get, you know, get to where they need to go. And, you know, these, these people are permitted, you know,
00:13:27.760they're permitted, and they get these positive stories written about them as if they're some kind of hero.
00:13:32.760So the protests were told, we're in support of the Wet'suwet'en First Nation, which is the place where the original protests are
00:13:43.760taking place, people that are trying to block that pipeline in British Columbia, they claim that the RCMP have raided the
00:13:50.760camps full of protesters, and those people are working to stop that gas line pipeline in British Columbia. So supposedly in
00:13:57.760solidarity with the people in British Columbia, we have crazy, crazy people out in Ontario, again, blocking train tracks,
00:14:06.760commuter train tracks, and stopping people from being able to carry on with their lives. There are a couple of major issues.
00:14:12.760So sure, some First Nations communities don't approve of natural resources, they don't want to see it happen.
00:14:19.760Some of them have valid concerns about the sort of safety of the projects and concern about preserving the
00:14:24.760natural environment. Fine. A lot of them, you know, it's, it's really just people being transplanted in, flown in,
00:14:31.760you know, very ideological, anti-development, anti-resource people being flown in to just cause chaos.
00:14:38.760So in Ontario, the people that blocked the train were part of the First Nation community.
00:14:44.760And so the media kind of, you know, focuses in on that, the fact that there are First Nation protesters.
00:14:49.760What they don't really mention is that there are 20 elected First Nation communities that support this pipeline,
00:14:56.760that support Canadian law, that don't recognize the jurisdiction of the one individual First Nation community in
00:15:04.760Northern British Columbia, the Wet'suwet'en community, and their law that they say is going to, you know, block this pipeline.
00:15:11.760So 20 First Nations community, communities support the pipeline, and also a hereditary chief of the skin-tie nation also supports the pipeline.
00:15:21.760So this is the hereditary chief, her name is Helen Michelle of the skin-tie nation, and she supports the pipeline.
00:15:29.760I don't know why they protest and we walked in that area on foot through a consultation with LNG and there was no building
00:15:40.760There was no buildings there, there was nothing. After the approval of LNG, they started building facilities there,
00:15:48.760and it's only one big family that used that. And a lot of the protesters are not even Wet'suwet'en people.
00:15:56.760So you hear that, she says that a lot of the protesters aren't even from that First Nation.
00:16:00.760She doesn't understand why they oppose it. Here is another member of that community.
00:16:05.760Her name is Shirley Wilson. She's also a Wet'suwet'en nation member, and she does not agree with the protest.
00:16:13.760But again, you don't really see the media holding up these voices, holding up these strong women who are speaking out against the corruption
00:16:20.760and against the foreign-funded protesters that have been sort of dropped in to mislead the people about what's happening.
00:16:29.760I don't agree with the protest at all because, for one thing, it's all one-sided.
00:16:35.760It's more like one family, one little group from a family from Morristown.
00:16:41.760Most of them come from Morristown and maybe a few from Hazelton. I'm not sure of who's all there.
00:16:47.760And also, the protesters that are there, a lot of them come from out-of-area places.
00:16:54.760There are people I've heard that are from the east of Canada, some from the United States,
00:17:00.760and some that follow the protest field throughout North America.
00:17:06.760They jump around. I don't know where they get all their money to fly around and do all these things.
00:17:10.760But I just don't agree with it. I think they brought a lot of disruption and disunity and everything to our culture.
00:17:17.760We also care for the land, but we have to live a balanced lifestyle.
00:17:22.760It's not reality for every person to live out in a canvas tent.
00:17:27.760Well, there you go. Speaking truth. And again, why aren't these kind of voices promoted in the mainstream media?
00:17:32.760Why do they focus so much on highlighting the sort of angry anti-industry people when there are also, you know, there are people on both sides and it's important to show both sides.
00:17:44.760You can get the protesters side of the story by tuning into the mainstream media.
00:17:49.760We try to bring you the other side of the story.
00:17:51.760And this is just one example of, you know, things not being able to get built in Canada.
00:17:57.760There was just really a shocking story that came out in the Huffington Post last week.
00:18:01.760And I want to go through it. It's from Althea Raj.
00:18:04.760And the headline says, Liberal MPs urge Trudeau to reject massive Alberta oil sands mine.
00:18:11.760Liberals are concerned the $20 billion project would undermine a pledge to be net zero by 2050.
00:18:18.760So according to Raj, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau heard an earful from his Liberal caucus Wednesday,
00:18:24.760with MPs passionately urging his cabinet not to approve Tech Resource Limited's massive $20 billion frontier oil sands mine project in Alberta.
00:18:35.760So basically, if you have been following the economic situation in Alberta, following the sort of decline of the oil and gas sector and the subsequent, you know, just collapse of jobs, of industry, of all the things that are connected to that in the province of Alberta.
00:18:52.760I mean, this project is giving people hope with all the hold ups, all the pipelines that haven't been built, all the companies leaving Canada and going elsewhere.
00:19:00.760This project is being held up by so many who sort of see it as a glimmer of hope light at the end of the tunnel.
00:19:07.760You know, a big $20 billion investment creating lots and lots of jobs.
00:19:12.760The plan would be to create the proposal.
00:19:16.760The proposal is to see the mine north of Fort McMurray operate for 41 years, cover more than 29,000 hectares and produce about 260,000 barrels of bitumen a day.
00:19:30.760So from a jobs perspective, from an economic perspective, this is really good news.
00:19:35.760This is really exciting for all those folks who have been laid off, who are desperate to work or trying to get back in the action.
00:19:41.760And again, this is a little bit of hope, but politicians in Ottawa do not see it that way.
00:19:46.760No, no, no. The thing that Justin Trudeau was getting an earful over was the fact that apparently liberals are concerned about a 2050 pledge to be net zero in terms of our CO2 emissions.
00:20:00.760So apparently Trudeau is getting pressured by the leftists in his caucus to turn down jobs today, to say no to people who want to get back in the economy, say no to a huge project that would pour billions of dollars into the Canadian economy, say no to that because of some hypothetical plan to reduce our CO2 emissions in 30 years, 30 years from now.
00:20:26.760I mean, who knows what is going to happen in the next 30 years in terms of the science, in terms of technology, in terms of, you know, what we believe about the planet, what we know about the planet.
00:20:37.760Are there other ways to reduce our CO2? Perhaps we'll have new information.
00:20:41.760Perhaps the planet will stop warming and start cooling.
00:20:44.760I mean, there's so many variables that we don't know.
00:20:46.760What we do know about this project, though, is that it will create 7000 jobs during the construction phase, another 2500 jobs after that.
00:20:55.760It will create about 70 billion dollars worth of taxes and royalties, which will go to local, provincial and federal governments.
00:21:02.760So this is, again, a big project. It is a creating a big capability.
00:21:07.760And yet, supposedly, we're told that the prime minister is getting pressure from environmentalists in his caucus.
00:21:14.760I think that this is just sort of signaling so that Justin Trudeau has an opportunity to say no, like he can say, well, I wanted to allow this project to go forward, but I was getting all this pressure.
00:21:26.760I see this piece as a sort of pre positioning in some way.
00:21:29.760I don't know exactly what is going to happen, but I really, really, really hope that Justin Trudeau sticks with his guns and allows this project to be approved.
00:21:37.760The project's already been approved. It's already gone through all of its jumped through all of its hoops.
00:21:43.760It's been approved. The idea now that politicians are talking about pulling it back.
00:21:47.760I mean, this would be absolutely disastrous. I mean, as bad as things are in Alberta, as many voices as we hear talking about Alberta independence or Western separatism.
00:21:56.760If Justin Trudeau and the liberals actually stopped this project, I don't even know what would happen, but it would be very, very bad for Canada and very, very bad for Justin Trudeau and his liberals.
00:22:09.760And speaking of those liberals, we had Bill Mornow go on power and politics with Vassie Capello over the weekend on CBC.
00:22:17.760I mean, this guy is just so arrogant and he explains things with such spin.
00:22:22.760Watching him talk about what's going on in Alberta, basically, it makes it seem like he's the savior that came in to save Alberta.
00:22:29.760And he stepped in because this big, bad American oil company, what he says, abandoned Alberta.
00:22:36.760I mean, you know, in order to create a narrative like that and to believe this, I'll play the clip so you can see what I'm talking about.
00:22:42.760But man, this guy is just so arrogant.
00:22:45.760You know, really, we've got to think back to why we're here. We're here in this project because there was a lack of ability for the private sector to deliver.
00:22:53.760We had a, you know, the conservatives blame that on your government.
00:22:56.760Well, we had a Houston company that went back to Houston and basically abandoned Albertans and abandoned Alberta.
00:23:04.760Did they abandon them? I mean, they were facing huge amounts of political uncertainty, right?
00:23:10.760You got a new government in B.C. that's saying we don't want this pipeline here.
00:23:14.760Lots of indigenous communities saying we're willing to do what it takes to stop this.
00:23:19.760I mean, if you were running that private company, would you take on that risk?
00:23:22.760Well, actually, you've pointed out perfectly. Those were the reasons.
00:23:26.760Well, no, she didn't point it out perfectly because she only described the government of British Columbia as well as, again, the media always does this.
00:23:33.760They highlight the native, the First Nations communities that oppose the pipelines and ignore all the voices like the ones I talked about earlier in the show that promote the pipelines and promote Canadian industry.
00:23:45.760And so, of course, Bill Morneau is going to say, yeah, you hit the nail on the head. Those were that that was a political uncertainty.
00:23:50.760Well, no, Bill Morneau. No, it was the federal government that created the uncertainty.
00:23:55.760It was the feds that blocked the pipelines. It was the feds that banned tanker ships off the West Coast.
00:24:01.760So if you're talking about the political uncertainty, you cannot just simply ignore the federal government and the role that Justin Trudeau has played.
00:24:08.760And not to mention the carbon tax, not to mention the just total inability, again, of things to get done in this country.
00:24:15.760And for Bill Morneau to just sit there and say, oh, this Houston company abandoned Alberta.
00:24:19.760No, no. The federal government abandoned Alberta.
00:24:22.760The feds abandoned Alberta that created a regulatory situation where it's just hostile to businesses.
00:24:30.760And you can't really blame the businesses for leaving Alberta when you have the type of governance that we have in Canada.
00:24:36.760The Trudeau government is just so clueless. They're so clueless.
00:24:40.760OK, let's move on. This is really a sad story.
00:24:43.760I mean, the whole the whole thing is just really a bit distressing and upsetting to watch.
00:24:48.760Jordan Peterson seeks emergency drug detox treatment in Russia.
00:24:52.760So, I mean, Jordan Peterson sort of had this just huge rise to sort of fame and notoriety.
00:24:59.760He's an incredibly thoughtful, incredibly powerful presenter.
00:25:03.760And, you know, he kind of started delivering the right message at the right time to kind of combat just all kinds of stuff that's happening in our society.
00:25:12.760Helps explain things in just a very succinct and clear way.
00:25:16.760He kind of created a big following for himself.
00:25:19.760He put out his book and then he became a huge target for the left where they were just, you know, constantly attacking him, turning his words, twisting his words, making it seem like he was saying things that he wasn't.
00:25:30.760And they kind of created a controversy out of him.
00:25:33.760I mean, Jordan Peterson is incredibly influential.
00:25:35.760He's really just an inspiring human being.
00:25:39.760Unfortunately, he's just had a really tough go of it lately.
00:25:42.760The last, I would say almost a year, things have been really sad for him.
00:26:42.760She says that he's been in unbearable discomfort and that he went to Russia, which was a decision made in extreme desperation because they couldn't find a better option.
00:26:53.760Basically saying that he had had several failed attempts and with treatments in North American hospitals.
00:26:59.760And so him going to Moscow, you know, pretty, pretty desperate, pretty sad stuff.
00:27:05.760So let's play a quick clip of Michaela Peterson doing the Peterson family update for February 2020.
00:27:12.760Dad was put on a low dose of a benzodiazepine a few years ago for anxiety following an extremely severe autoimmune reaction to food.
00:27:23.760Last April, when my mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer, the dose of the medication was increased.
00:27:29.760It became apparent that he was suffering from both a physical dependency and a paradoxical reaction to the medication.
00:27:35.760For the last eight months, he's been in unbearable discomfort from this drug made worse when trying to remove it because of the additional withdrawal symptoms stemming from physical dependence.
00:27:46.760He experienced terrible akathisia, which is a condition where the person feels an incredible, endless, irresistible restlessness bordering on panic and an inability to sit still.
00:27:58.760After several failed treatment attempts in North American hospitals, including attempts at tapering and micro tapering,
00:28:06.760we had to seek an emergency medical benzodiazepine detox, which we were only able to find in Russia.
00:28:12.760It was incredibly grueling and was further complicated by severe pneumonia, which we've been told he developed in one of the previous hospitals.
00:28:19.760He's had to spend four weeks in the ICU in terrible shape,
00:28:24.760but with the help of some extremely competent and courageous doctors, he survived.
00:28:29.760The decision to bring him to Russia was made in extreme desperation when we couldn't find any better option.
00:28:35.760The uncertainty around his recovery has been one of the most difficult and scary experiences we've ever had.
00:28:42.760Our prayers are with the Peterson family during this just incredibly difficult time.
00:28:47.760And, you know, as we're watching this and learning about this, it's just incredibly sad and disturbing to hear about.
00:28:55.760You know, of course, Twitter is just a terrible place and this kind of stuff, you know, you just almost expect it to happen.
00:29:03.760But of course, the left is attacking Peterson at this point, you know, when when he's truly at rock bottom and suffering from what sounds like a pretty awful, you know, a pretty awful condition.
00:29:18.760You have you have people on social media and people generally on the left sort of celebrating it and using it as an opportunity to kick someone when they're down and virtue signaling.
00:29:28.760So here we have someone who says that they are a professor of law and medicine at the University of Ottawa named Amir Ataran.
00:29:37.760So he posts this on Twitter hashtag karma.
00:29:40.760Jordan Peterson, Oracle to gullible young men, preacher of macho toughness and hectoring bully to snowflakes, is addicted to strong drugs and his brain riddled with neurological damage.
00:29:52.760He deserves as much sympathy as he has shown others.
00:29:55.760I don't really know what that means because I've seen and understood Jordan Peterson to be a very sort of caring and sympathetic person, very compassionate.
00:30:04.760And what seems like a very committed father and husband and public intellectual who really takes time out to mentor and help young people, specifically young men, because that's who resonates with his with his speeches.
00:30:19.760But, you know, I'll tell you, I really, really appreciate and like Jordan Peterson's lecture as well.
00:30:23.760So it has the ability to reach a broader audience than just sort of young men.
00:30:28.760But regardless, again, so this, you know, this individual, he posts this story from a source called The Varsity, which, you know, is just, you know, left wing source that probably took whatever Jordan Peterson said out of context.
00:30:41.760So the article says, I don't think that men can control crazy women.
00:30:46.760And again, I don't even want to go into the details of it because I'm sure it was just, you know, Jordan Peterson speaking the truth and someone taking it out of context and making it seem like he was trying to say that all women are crazy or attacking all women when, you know, he was probably talking about something specific.
00:31:03.760And this guy goes on and on and on with sort of Peterson derangement theory.
00:31:09.760He was far from the only one to do this.
00:31:14.760Nora Loretta is sort of known for just being kind of heartless and saying horrible things just to get attention.
00:31:23.760You might recall she put out a pretty horrific tweet in the aftermath in the immediate days following the tragic bus crash that killed members of the Humboldt Broncos, making a comment about how the only reason that Canadians really cared was because they were young white boys.
00:31:41.760Again, trying to mix sort of identity politics and again, get attention by just, you know, it's like she takes joy in saying really, really stupid things and getting a bunch of conservatives worked up and upset.
00:32:11.760I mean, sometimes it's not even worthwhile to give these people attention, which is why I didn't bother, you know, commenting about this on Twitter.
00:32:18.760Jordan Peterson's whole thing is that he turns people off of nihilism.
00:32:22.760He tries to convince people that life has meaning and that they can live meaningful lives by taking steps to have, you know, a positive impact for the world around them.
00:32:33.760He's literally fighting against nihilism.
00:32:36.760He's not turning people onto nihilism.
00:32:38.760But again, Nora Loretta just loves attention and she loves to be sort of a bully saying mean, hurtful things.
00:32:46.760You know, someone someone comes out, you know, Michaela Peterson comes out and shares a very personal story of what her family is going through.
00:33:13.760It shows the true character of these people.
00:33:15.760And sadly, Twitter has just become this home for, you know, horrible, mean comments, as well as sort of absurd levels of censorship that are pretty one sided.
00:33:26.760So, you know, I don't really have a lot of time for Twitter these days.
00:33:29.760I don't think it's the best way to communicate.
00:33:32.760And, you know, it kind of rewards bad behavior, rewards people who are doing the kind of thing that Nora Loretta does, which is say horrible, mean things just for attention.
00:33:41.760Just, you know, so that she can kind of egg on people and create a stir for herself, create a name for herself and try to grow her audience.
00:33:50.760So, no, you know, I'm not going to fall for it.
00:33:53.760I don't think I don't think you should either.
00:33:55.760I think we should ignore that kind of bad behavior.
