Juno News - The Candice Malcolm Show： CBC's ratings plummet but still receive more tax dollars than ever!

00:00:00.000 CBC's ratings plummet, they're still receiving more tax dollars than ever, Justin Trudeau

00:00:04.360 contradicts himself, joins the Trump derangement team and blames the United States for Iran's

00:00:09.920 reckless incompetency, a social justice mob goes after a celebrity for being too polite,

00:00:15.220 and it's Wednesday so we will do fake news of the week. I'm Candace Malcolm and this is The

00:00:19.400 Candace Malcolm Show. Hi, thank you so much for tuning in. I know I've been focusing this show

00:00:28.540 so much on Iran, so I'm going to lead with something a little different today. This is

00:00:32.060 an exclusive from BlackLock's reporter that was picked up by Post Millennial and TNC.news.

00:00:38.060 The CBC's ad dollars have fallen by 37 percent, so this is from BlackLock's. The CBC confirmed

00:00:45.040 its English language TV ad revenues fell by more than a third last year, with fewer than

00:00:50.140 one percent of Canadians watching its local suppertime newscast. The Crown broadcaster in

00:00:56.160 its latest annual report questioned whether it can remain sustainable without more subsidies.

00:01:01.820 So fewer Canadians than ever before are watching the CBC. Canadians are just not tuned in. They're

00:01:07.140 not interested in what the CBC is pushing, which is a very far-left anti-American worldview. Canadians

00:01:12.840 by and large reject that kind of nonsense, and they're not watching it. Less than one percent,

00:01:17.760 fewer than one percent of Canadians are watching the CBC every night, and at the same time,

00:01:23.180 the CBC's ad dollars are falling, so companies are less and less interested in advertising on the

00:01:29.360 CBC, and yet they're still receiving $1.2 billion in annual subsidies courtesy of you and me and the

00:01:38.000 rest of the Canadian taxpayers out there. And at the same time, the CBC is still asking the government

00:01:44.280 for more money, saying that their entire funding model is not sustainable and that they're going to

00:01:48.720 need yet another bailout, more and more money from the Canadian taxpayer in order to sustain.

00:01:53.700 You know, it's just, it's so mind-boggling that this entity exists in Canada. You know, this is a time

00:01:58.900 where digital media outlets are thriving, where new startups like TNC.news, or like the Post Millennial,

00:02:06.020 or even some on the left, you know, Canada Land, Press Progress, the National Observer, there are all these

00:02:11.660 new digital media outlets that are successful, that have found a successful funding model that Canadians are

00:02:17.480 interested in, that sort of serve a niche audience. And, you know, we're all making it work. We found a

00:02:24.540 sustainable funding model, whereas this sort of behemoth state broadcaster that has no clue what

00:02:30.020 Canadians want, that never really has to think or consider what to do to make Canadians more interested

00:02:35.420 in their broadcast, all they have to do is go hand in hand to the Prime Minister and beg him for more money.

00:02:40.460 And if the past is indicative of the future, Trudeau will always say yes to the state broadcaster.

00:02:47.460 You know, this reminds me of this little moment on the campaign trail, where Justin Trudeau flat out

00:02:52.600 stated why, you know, him and liberals love the CBC. Let's play that clip.

00:02:56.740 So we know that Justin Trudeau loves the CBC. We know the liberals are always there for the CBC,

00:03:08.140 as he said. So I wouldn't be surprised if the liberals came up with even more money to subsidize

00:03:13.120 the CBC. You know, this is just so unfortunate because Canadians don't want this. It's bad for

00:03:19.160 the country. The CBC is so biased. They're so off in their editorial position that they have a negative

00:03:23.940 impact on the country. They harm the entire country. And yet we're the ones funding it. It's so

00:03:28.560 frustrating. Let's read more from this Blacklock's report. It says English TV ad revenues fell 37%

00:03:35.280 from $178 million to $112 million. French language ad revenues declined 3% from $140 million down to

00:03:42.880 $136 million. The total audience for 6 p.m. local TV newscasts at 27 CBC stations nationwide was 319,000

00:03:52.380 people, the equivalent to fewer than 12,000 nightly viewers per city. That's fewer people

00:03:59.040 than listening to this podcast. The total market share for the CBC TV main network was 5% down from

00:04:05.100 8% the previous year. The CBC news network cable service has a 1.4% market share. So whichever way

00:04:12.620 you look at it, whichever way you cut it, the CBC is flailing and failing. And really, it's time to just

00:04:17.660 let the CBC go. I'm not totally opposed to having some kind of a national state broadcaster, maybe

00:04:23.720 something more in the package of NPR, which is, you know, a smaller entity that doesn't dictate the

00:04:29.300 entire media landscape in the United States. But they have thoughtful programming. And they're funding

00:04:34.820 not only from the taxpayer, but also through their own sort of fundraising initiatives and grassroots

00:04:40.600 fundraising. You know, something like that. I'm not completely opposed to it. I'd prefer to have

00:04:45.660 just a total free market. But if we're going to have some kind of a state broadcaster, look at the

00:04:49.360 NPR model. The CBC is just so nonsensical, especially when there are so many CBC reporters,

00:04:55.080 for instance, in the parliamentary press gallery, they literally dictate the direction of the news

00:04:59.420 story. Look at Justin Trudeau's press conferences on the Iran plane crash, which we will get to in the

00:05:03.780 show. You know, question after question after question from those CBC and Radio Canada and CBC French,

00:05:09.600 all the different CBC reporters asking in the same line of reasoning because it was their editorial

00:05:13.480 position. Isn't the U.S. to blame? Is the U.S. to blame? Do you blame Trump? Trump, Trump, U.S., U.S.?

00:05:18.720 And it sways the entire coverage and it even sways the thinking of the politicians who are getting

00:05:23.380 pestered with these far left deranged questions. That's the sort of outcome. So, you know, CBC is

00:05:30.580 having a very negative impact on our country and it's time to pull the plug. One reason I really hope

00:05:35.700 that conservatives win next time around is just on this issue. I hope that the conservatives choose a leader

00:05:40.680 who is courageous enough to say the truth about the CBC and pledge to defund the entire entity

00:05:46.460 and that they win the election just so they can do that one thing. I think that would be

00:05:50.820 great for the country and worthwhile. All right, let's move on. Justin Trudeau has completely

00:05:55.840 contradicted himself. So if you recall, on Saturday, he gave a press conference. Iran took responsibility 0.92

00:06:00.840 for the downing of that plane crash after spending several days lying. At first, they said it was

00:06:04.920 engine failure. Then they said that someone else must have shot them down. They finally took

00:06:09.920 responsibility. Justin Trudeau gave a very firm press conference on Saturday, firm for him. He still

00:06:15.240 wasn't perfect. He still made some fumbles and he wasn't as tough as possible. Reporter after reporter,

00:06:20.060 especially those CBC and Radio Canada reporters, kept asking him if he thought that the U.S. was to

00:06:24.720 blame. He actually pushed back and was pretty firm for him, made it clear that he didn't believe the

00:06:29.780 United States was at fault, repeatedly said that it was Iran, it was Iran, it was Iran. I put together a

00:06:35.540 little montage of him, you know, the best parts of Trudeau pushing back against the media and clearly

00:06:42.280 explaining that it was Iran to blame. What Iran has admitted to is very serious. Shooting down a civilian 0.70

00:06:50.240 aircraft is horrific. Iran must take full responsibility. Should Iran compensate Canadian 1.00

00:06:59.900 families here? That is certainly something that is going to need to be part of the mix. But Iran is 0.99

00:07:06.460 still pointing some fingers at the United States, as are many others, for raising tensions in the

00:07:10.600 first place. Do you share those views and do you plan to speak with the U.S. President and discuss it?

00:07:15.780 The reality is there have been significant tensions in that region for a long time. Many of these

00:07:22.120 families have fled Iran, fled the regime, tried to build a better life for them elsewhere, and to have

00:07:29.080 the regime that they have left behind accept responsibility for this is a bitter pill indeed.

00:07:36.680 I'm wondering if you think that the Iranian system may now find a culprit, blame them, prosecute them 1.00

00:07:43.160 without the international community?

00:07:44.680 I think there is a recognition that there is probably individual culpability in this situation,

00:07:51.480 but there is also a system-wide culpability and the reflections around that is something that the

00:07:57.560 Iranians and indeed the international partners will be engaged with over the coming weeks as we

00:08:02.760 unfold in this investigation. So he makes it pretty clear. He says that he believes that Iran should 0.94

00:08:06.520 probably compensate the families, which shows that he believes that Iran is the one that's to blame.

00:08:10.840 He says when asked specifically, do you think the recent tensions in the region caused this plane crash?

00:08:15.960 He said no. He said, let's be clear, there's been tensions, there's been significant tensions in that region

00:08:21.000 for a long time, which is absolutely correct. You know, those who are just looking at the death of

00:08:25.160 Soleimani are missing, you know, the last, not even just six months of history, the last 40 years of 1.00

00:08:30.440 history. But even if you're just looking, you know, a couple of days before Soleimani was killed in that

00:08:35.480 attack, in that drone strike by the US, you know, he had ordered an attack on a US base, on an Iraqi base

00:08:41.960 where US and Canadian troops were held, an American citizen was killed. That was what really set off this

00:08:47.000 recent chain of events. If you go back, you know, a little further than that, you'll know that Iran

00:08:52.200 shot down an American drone in international airspace over the summer. They seized a British naval ship

00:08:59.640 that was also an international seize. They bombed a Saudi oil facility, knocking out about 5% of that

00:09:05.800 country's oil production. And then they attacked these bases. So there are several examples of Iran 0.87

00:09:12.120 being the aggressor in this region that really led to the recent escalations. And Trudeau rightly

00:09:19.480 acknowledged that. He made a point that many of the people who were on that plane had fled the regime,

00:09:24.520 that they thought that the evil regime in Iran was behind them. He didn't say evil, they fled the regime

00:09:29.640 and that they thought that they had escaped the regime, which again, not only shows that Iran was to blame

00:09:35.320 for the crash, but also that they're this evil, oppressive regime that caused all these people to flee.

00:09:40.200 And then at the very end there, he was talking about how there's probably individual culpability,

00:09:44.360 but also a system wide culpability. So all of that is to say, you know, no matter which way you look

00:09:49.800 at it, whether you're looking at tensions in the region that was caused by Iran, whether you're

00:09:54.040 looking at, you know, the regime's capability to do evil and why so many people flee it, he acknowledged

00:10:00.120 that, which, you know, that's about as far as I've ever seen Trudeau go on Iran. And then what he

00:10:05.960 talked about, the system culpability. You know, this was an evening where Iran was launching an 0.97

00:10:10.440 offensive. They were bombing Iraq that night. Remember, they said that they were going to 0.99

00:10:15.400 seek revenge for the death of Soleimani. This was the night that they were doing it. They were bombing

00:10:19.240 Iraq. They weren't being bombed that evening. So, so many questions, you know, come up. Why was the

00:10:24.760 commercial airspace open? Why were commercial planes still allowed to come and go? That was the decision,

00:10:29.240 again, of the government, of the Iranian government. The plane was taking off from Tehran. The planes probably

00:10:34.680 should have never been allowed to take off given that Iran was launching this bombing campaign to 0.99

00:10:39.160 neighboring Iraq. You know, there's also several other questions about, you know, why one individual

00:10:44.920 was in the position where they were allowed to make that terrible, terrible decision to press that button

00:10:49.720 and launch a missile. According to Iran's own explanation of what happened, it was a junior

00:10:55.480 person. He didn't have the training. He only had 10 seconds, they said. They devised this crazy scheme

00:11:00.760 where he only had 10 seconds to determine whether or not to shoot down the plane. And he said that

00:11:04.760 he tried to reach out to his higher ups, but the lines were jammed. So, you know, Iran has lied about 0.99

00:11:09.800 this. Everything they said about the scenario doesn't make sense. And no matter which way you look at it,

00:11:13.960 it was an Iranian missile launched by the Iranian regime from Iran, you know, in a situation where

00:11:20.280 Iran was bombing, was on the offensive and their airspace should have never been open. So, you know, 0.98

00:11:24.760 for all the components involved here, almost all of them are directly responsible by Iran. And Trudeau

00:11:31.480 was pretty clear about that. But then just two days later, just two days after he gave this pretty

00:11:36.200 strong press conference, he goes on to Global and he does an interview where he pretty much just says

00:11:42.360 the exact opposite. Do you think that the people who died on that plane are collateral damage in the

00:11:47.960 tensions between Iran and the U.S.? I think if there were no tensions, if there was no escalation

00:11:54.680 recently in the region, those Canadians would be right now home with their families. So that is 0.93

00:12:00.200 the derangement view. That is the Trump derangement view, which was the exact opposite. You know,

00:12:04.760 on Saturday, he said there's tensions for a long time. And on Monday, he said if it wasn't for those

00:12:09.080 recent tensions, which we know he's talking about the drone attack on Soleimani, if it wasn't for those

00:12:14.920 recent tensions, those Canadians would be home by their families. So, you know, most serious people

00:12:19.080 in the world are on the side of, you know, this is clearly Iran's responsibility and we need to be 1.00

00:12:24.440 tough against them. And this is totally unacceptable and reckless and evil. And then there's a small

00:12:29.480 component of people who just hate Donald Trump so much, they're so partisan, they can't get over

00:12:33.400 their deep hatred for Trump, that everything that happens is his fault. And, you know, there's a broader

00:12:39.480 group of people that are just anti-American in general. And their worldview is that America is this

00:12:43.720 horrible, evil place and that everything they do is wrong. And Trudeau just sort of went from,

00:12:48.920 you know, one camp over to the other camp. It's very embarrassing. Trudeau just flip-flopped and

00:12:54.680 basically said the opposite. And really, you know, the worldview that you have to have to say

00:13:00.760 the U.S. is at fault for Iran's bad behavior. It's so deranged. Okay, let's move on. 1.00

00:13:07.480 There was a lot of outrage, a lot of outcry over a clip. President Trump and the first lady,

00:13:13.080 Melania Trump, were at a football game, a college football game down in Louisiana. He got a huge

00:13:18.920 applause. Watching Donald Trump step out on the field, you kind of see Trump has this like huge

00:13:24.920 backing. It's sort of like a cultural phenomenon. So he walks out, the crowd goes crazy, people are

00:13:30.040 chanting the USA, USA, really, really over the top, you know, welcome from the crowd there at Louisiana

00:13:38.120 State. A video surfaced of Trump in the crowd later and during the game. And he's there with Vince Vaughn,

00:13:44.440 actor Vince Vaughn, who's a pretty big celebrity. And you can see Vaughn and Trump talking and their

00:13:49.560 exchange sort of ends with a handshake. So because of that, there's sort of this huge reaction online.

00:13:55.240 Everyone knows that Vince Vaughn is a Republican. He's been conservative for a long time. But yeah,

00:14:00.360 they just, the mob, the left-wing mob, social justice warriors just can't handle seeing a celebrity

00:14:05.880 being nice to Donald Trump. So there's a huge outcry. I don't know exactly how much of it

00:14:10.200 was organic. I think some of it was a joke that led from a tweet from someone at the Washington

00:14:16.920 Examiner who was kind of joking around. But anyway, if you look at the clip, if you watch the video,

00:14:21.560 it doesn't actually seem like a super friendly exchange. From my reading of it, me watching it,

00:14:25.640 it seems like Vince Vaughn is sort of telling Donald Trump his opinion on something. Like he's almost

00:14:29.960 criticizing Trump. He's saying, blah, blah, blah. I don't like what you're doing. You should consider

00:14:34.440 changing this. And Trump kind of like, kind of gives it like a little, okay, I respect you for

00:14:40.600 saying that or whatever, a kind of a little head shake and a handshake. It's not like a super friendly,

00:14:45.720 like that back slapping kind of interaction. It seems like a little bit more tense. We don't

00:14:49.720 obviously know what was said because there's no audio, but looking at the video, looking at the

00:14:53.480 interaction, you could actually imagine that Vince Vaughn was sort of telling Trump off or criticizing

00:14:58.360 Trump. And yeah, that doesn't matter because all the deranged left saw was a celebrity being nice to

00:15:03.880 Trump. And that led to typical Trump derangement online. All right. It is Wednesday. So we're going

00:15:10.120 to do fake news of the week. This comes courtesy of, you guessed it, the CBC, the state broadcaster.

00:15:15.800 You cannot trust to tell the truth. Okay. So CBC politics tweeted out, Harper says regime change

00:15:22.120 needed in Iran to bring peace to the region. CTV followed suit and put out a very similar piece

00:15:27.880 saying Harper calls for Iranian regime change in wake of downed jet. Now, the only problem with all

00:15:35.000 that is that that's not what Stephen Harper actually said. And calling for regime change is like very

00:15:40.760 specific. It is very specific meaning and it's pretty aggressive. Like it's something that most

00:15:45.560 politicians wouldn't do. Me, on the other hand, I would openly say that Iran needs regime change.

00:15:50.520 They obviously need regime change. They're led by a group of evil moolahs who are not only evil, 1.00

00:15:56.760 but incompetent as we've seen over the past several weeks. But that's not what Stephen Harper said. 0.98

00:16:01.160 Stephen Harper is more diplomatic than I am. Unfortunately, the CBC just doesn't always,

00:16:06.360 you know, report the truth as is the case here. It was pointed out by the National Post's Chris

00:16:12.040 Selle. He tweeted out that regime change has very specific meaning and Harper doesn't even remotely

00:16:17.640 allude to that. In the passages quoted here, even Gerald Butts, even Justin Trudeau's BFF,

00:16:23.640 came to the defense of Stephen Harper and said, I'm not in the business of defending Harper.

00:16:28.600 But he didn't use the phrase regime change in this interview. It's a loaded term to say

00:16:32.760 the least. So after being called out for misrepresenting what the former conservative

00:16:37.640 prime minister said, CBC sort of did a little me la culpa here and said, the headline and lead

00:16:43.240 paragraph of this story have been edited from a previous version that says Stephen Harper said

00:16:47.480 regime change was needed in Iran. In fact, Harper said, I do believe we need to see a change in Iran 0.94

00:16:53.240 if we are going to see peace in the Middle East. He also said, I think without a change in the nature

00:16:58.360 of the government in Tehran, the Middle East will continue to be in turmoil. That's not exactly

00:17:03.400 calling for a change of government. He's just saying that there needs to be a change, which could

00:17:07.960 potentially be a change within the government. Again, I would prefer to be a change of government,

00:17:12.760 but that's not what Harper's saying. So, you know, the CBC is manipulating the words of a former

00:17:17.480 prime minister to make them more loaded, to make them more controversial than they actually are,

00:17:22.600 to probably anger a lot of people in Iran who are thinking, you know, why is Canada talking about

00:17:27.320 whether or not we need a change in government? That's not the role of a former prime minister.

00:17:32.840 So shame on the CBC for trying to push that in life. They hadn't been called out so publicly by that

00:17:37.800 national post reporter. They probably would have just continued to be pushing out this nonsense. 0.74

00:17:42.680 Again, that's $1.2 billion of your taxpayer money going to further divide the country and

00:17:49.240 pit Canadians against each other by lying about what a politician says. Okay, I'm going to leave

00:17:54.120 it at that. Thank you so much for joining in. Thank you for tuning in today, and we will be back next week.
