00:00:00.000 The entire strategy of the Liberals and the CBC is run out the clock, right?
00:00:04.160 They created a narrative.
00:00:05.300 The narrative is Trump bad, coming against Canada, only Mark Carney can save us.
00:00:10.240 And so all their entire agenda is just to help Mark Carney run out the clock.
00:00:15.060 And I think they just, it's just so obvious.
00:00:16.740 They've exposed themselves.
00:00:18.200 And I mean, now we're at this point where we're seeing them sort of grasp their last
00:00:23.180 grasp of power before they get put out.
00:00:25.520 What do you think of all that?
00:00:26.860 Yeah, I mean, let me give you an example.
00:00:27.940 I was thinking about this the other day.
00:00:28.960 In the last two election cycles, the Conservative Party was the focus of the media rage over the carbon tax.
00:00:36.620 Why won't you support the carbon tax?
00:00:38.200 How dare you do this to the planet?
00:00:40.280 And Andrew Scheer and Erin O'Toole answered, and I don't think their answers were great, but it was such a central focus of the debates.
00:00:48.160 As soon as Mark Carney says, oh, yikes, I'd better shuck off, I'd better jettison the carbon tax if I'm going to win,
00:00:55.500 All of a sudden, the media that was saying this is the death of the climate, the death of our future, suddenly they show no interest in the subject whatsoever.
00:01:05.420 Really? I mean, could you be more transparent in how partisan you are?
00:01:10.760 That whole thing was just a way to get the conservatives.
00:01:13.860 And now that Mark Carney has flipped on the subject, they're not interested in it anymore.
00:01:20.340 Being in that room, Candace, was amazing.
00:01:22.900 I should say that about half the journalists in there were just regular folks doing their job.
00:01:27.500 I sat next to a photographer from the Montreal Gazette.
00:01:30.480 He couldn't care less.
00:01:31.460 He was just there to take photos.
00:01:33.080 I mean, there are some really normal people in journalism, but some of them are Antifa activists with a laptop.
00:01:38.500 There was some nut bar from the Hill Times who started screaming first at Kian Bextie and then at us and some other kook at Ricochet. 0.79
00:01:46.720 And, you know, they were so disruptive.
00:01:48.980 And I thought the word demonic came to mind.
00:01:52.140 The way they went after Drea was demonic.
00:01:54.220 And then I just thought, what is it?
00:01:56.520 And here's my guess of what happened.
00:01:58.400 First of all, I think some of them, like I say, are radical activists.
00:02:02.540 And this was their January 6th moment.
00:02:05.020 Oh, my God, independent journalists are storming in.
00:02:08.040 I think, second of all, they've been radicalized.
00:02:09.940 They've been convinced by the BS on the CBC that we are all the things they falsely accuse us of.
00:02:16.680 So if we were in the room and a bunch of Klansmen came in with hoods, we would freak out and say, what the heck are you guys doing in here?
00:02:23.840 That's how they've been trained and taught and brainwashed into thinking anyone right of center is.
