00:00:00.000 you're tuned in to the andrew lawton show
00:00:05.920 we'll get to danielle smith in a moment i want to show she tweeted this picture which seems to
00:00:13.280 just like trigger so many people here she says free speech means you don't just have to talk
00:00:18.080 to the mainstream media finished up in calgary off to edmonton next now i i liked the photo
00:00:24.440 i thought there was a little something missing from it i it was a je ne sais quoi that was missing
00:00:30.320 from it so i i tried my own hand at fixing the photo and came up with this yeah i think that
00:00:36.860 right there is the real photo this is a canadian heritage moment uh from left to right there is
00:00:42.660 jordan peterson premier danielle smith tucker carlson and baron black of cross harbor not
00:00:48.640 just to be technical here he should never be called lord conrad black it is conrad lord
00:00:54.240 black or just lord black or just conrad black but uh that's a he's he's often erroneously referred
00:00:59.500 to as lord conrad black which is just not the proper styling but anyway uh as he is what happens
00:01:04.080 when you watch too much downton abbey but uh all of that notwithstanding there was one more addition
00:01:08.520 to the photo that i thought was even better than that and i saw this one this morning let's put up
00:01:12.340 this one oh right there we've got uh baron black of cross harbor we've got tucker carlson and then
00:01:18.620 we've got lady rachel of emmanuel rachel emmanuel who is the host of the alberta roundup on true
00:01:24.940 north and and graced the stage last night and joins us now gracing our stage here rachel good to talk
00:01:31.360 to you thanks for coming back on the show happy to be here as always so i mean danielle smith got a lot
00:01:36.740 of heat when she first announced she would be participating in this and her answer i think has
00:01:41.600 been pretty consistent which is yeah i do interviews all the time that doesn't mean i i disagree or agree
00:01:46.200 with whatever's in them but have we seen like those heads exploding since she took the stage more 0.95
00:01:51.420 than they were initially people are pretty upset i mean of course the radical left mainstream media
00:01:56.860 had their articles coming out i think danielle put it very well when she joined the stage in calgary
00:02:02.260 yesterday she said look just because i'm here doesn't mean i agree with everything that's being
00:02:08.360 said by my colleagues on the stage of course it's ridiculous that she would even have to say that
00:02:13.880 but that's just really where we are in the times today there's not a lot of free and open debate
00:02:18.920 anymore that's not welcome but she did make that clarification whether or not the media will
00:02:22.880 actually take that call is up to them yeah i know that uh today she did an appearance she was 0.89
00:02:28.700 announcing something or other and was already facing like yet again another question from it let's
00:02:33.240 roll that clip i do want to ask about your attendance at both of tucker carlson's events yesterday this is
00:02:39.160 somebody who has been accused of defending white supremacy spreading misinformation about the war in ukraine
00:02:43.240 as well as making disparaging remarks about women so why did you believe that this is someone that you
00:02:48.220 should be giving time and attention to well i i take a wide range of media requests i've done i've
00:02:54.120 told by my staff 96 individual media events uh or interviews since i got re-elected 24 press conferences
00:03:01.480 and i don't require i don't do a screening test to make sure that every person that interviews me
00:03:07.620 matches 100 percent of what i believe and i don't expect that i'm that they're going to that that
00:03:13.220 that would be an appropriate thing to do so i take a wide range of interviews from cbc all the way
00:03:18.900 through to alternative media because my job is to get our message out about alberta and i told everyone
00:03:24.900 that i wanted to make sure that somebody who has a very loud voice in america knew that we were a partner
00:03:32.180 in being able to provide energy security and energy affordability and i got that message out
00:03:38.820 so a bit of a glimpse from premier smith there on what that message was uh but generally speaking
00:03:44.260 beyond that what did she use that opportunity to discuss i mean she actually phrased it very well i
00:03:49.940 think that's exactly why she agreed to do these events on stage is because she does want to get
00:03:55.380 alberta's message out and that is one of we are the place that has the cleanest energy supply and the rest of
00:04:00.420 the world should be coming to alberta for our energy supply and also that ottawa is continuing to
00:04:05.460 kibosh these efforts and if they continue to kibosh our efforts to include and to to reduce energy
00:04:10.980 supply we're actually going to run into big issues in the province of alberta where tens of thousands
00:04:15.540 of people are moving from all over the country for the alberta advantage and operators are unwilling to
00:04:20.820 increase their baseload power out of fear that they will come into conflict with ottawa's 2035
00:04:26.100 regulations and now we're running into serious issues where we're facing potential power outages
00:04:31.700 like a couple weeks ago when we had that cold snap and people are worried if they're going to be able
00:04:35.540 to have power or whether there's going to be rolling brownouts and blackouts throughout the
00:04:38.740 province so she delivered that message very clearly yesterday and honestly it's something that we also
00:04:43.380 saw jason kenny about you know for all his flaws when i covered his government he did attend a
00:04:47.220 senate committee in the us and he spoke about that same message alberta has the cleanest energy on earth
00:04:52.100 and the rest of the world should be getting our their energy from here no matter what the federal
00:04:56.180 government says yeah and i understand from the clip circulating she was also like trying to 1.00
00:05:01.220 introduce the idea of stephen gilbo to tucker carlson and like enlist his help in the fight
00:05:05.940 against stephen gilbo what was that all about that was definitely one of the best parts of the day
00:05:11.780 we all know daniel smith does not like stephen gibo she actually can't stand him she said she said on
00:05:17.060 multiple occasions she can't work with him and she said to tucker yesterday you know i think you should
00:05:21.620 put stephen gibo in your crosshairs and later on she said i'm trying to get him fired and i could
00:05:26.580 use your help with that i thought that was absolutely hilarious one of the best lines from the day another
00:05:31.220 really good one was when tucker carlson he seems to really dislike christia freeland he apparently knew
00:05:36.740 her when she was a journalist and he says this lady is not bright at all and he actually referred to her 0.95
00:05:41.860 as a midget at one point and that got quite a few laughs from the crowd one of the fan favorites for sure
00:05:47.460 yeah but i i saw that clip he also said she had like the self-esteem that you could like hide under 1.00
00:05:52.020 in the event of a nuclear attack or whatever like she's very self-assured which is a i guess a
00:05:56.180 compliment in a roundabout way uh i think we have a clip of the uh gilbo line you were just talking
00:06:01.780 about let's roll that i don't know if you know much about stephen gibo i don't know if i've ever
00:06:06.100 heard i'm wanting to learn less just one thing i find so offensive i mean you talk about uh
00:06:13.620 the disrespect to our province this is a guy who is an environmental advocate he's best known for
00:06:20.900 scaling the cn tower in opposition of fossil fuels when he was working as an environmental advocate
00:06:27.060 but he also scaled the house of our premier so he's a rock climber well not an engineer he said
00:06:32.660 maybe he'd be better at that but imagine that imagine somebody going and taking a criminal offense
00:06:38.020 going onto the roof of a premier that they make that person in charge trying to dictate to us how
00:06:43.860 to pull our resources out of ground how to manage our natural resources how to how to manage our
00:06:48.820 electricity grid that's what justin trudeau has done so i'm trying to get him fired and i would love your
00:06:53.460 help on that yeah i mean what she said they're entirely consistent with what she and minister
00:07:02.420 rebecca schultz have said about gilbo at many other occasions and affairs and i find it interesting
00:07:07.860 that the the rhetoric on social media appears to be trying to like put on her things he said at other
00:07:14.100 points either in his career or even at other points on stage instead of like does anyone take issue
00:07:18.820 with what she herself said at this event in front of a crowd of i think a combined crowd like 15 000
00:07:24.500 and i don't know i'm not aware so far maybe you can correct me if i'm wrong rachel of any
00:07:28.420 controversy stemming from anything she said of course there isn't but that's not what media is
00:07:32.980 anymore it's trying to associate with you with people that are perceived to be controversial and
00:07:38.580 trying to paint those people as controversial as possible by taking clips out of context or saying
00:07:42.980 that things are racist just because you're simply disappointed to the statistics of something or
00:07:46.820 saying that mass immigration is a bad thing for our countries and that it's actually making it so 0.97
00:07:51.700 that our health care systems are failing that we don't have enough houses in our country and all these
00:07:55.780 types of things and that's really all that media is and it's one of the reasons why i just don't
00:08:00.020 watch it anymore i don't pay attention to what the legacy media does other than to occasionally
00:08:03.860 point out major mistakes they've made because it's useless and it's just untrue so one thing that i
00:08:10.660 think will be interesting here is that and i let me back up i'm sure there were many people on
00:08:15.300 danielle smith's staff in fact i've heard whisperings of it they didn't love that she was doing this and 0.73
00:08:19.540 let's face it there are things that i disagree with from with tucker carlson on a lot of foreign policy
00:08:23.540 stuff as well as elsewhere but it seemed to be a win for her i mean she spoke to a crowd that uh
00:08:29.940 might not even be connected to partisan politics because they were drawn there by an american speaker
00:08:36.420 and i think in that sense she was doing something that probably will help her long term i mean there
00:08:40.980 was one guy i think it was bruce anderson the pollster who said oh this is going to like hurt
00:08:44.820 her in the polls in the next election which i'm like yeah good luck with that yeah i agree with
00:08:49.380 you i think that this event actually boded very well for her and i think something we've seen the
00:08:53.700 premier really improve on obviously let's remember she took a break from politics and she was a talk 0.99
00:08:58.980 show host and as a talk show host you discuss controversial ideas and you sort of say your thoughts on
00:09:04.020 things and during the election you know the ndp rolled their clips of danielle smith saying all these
00:09:08.740 talking about ideas and they tried to paint it as some really controversial and crazy lady for
00:09:13.140 simply wanting open and fair discussion and so i think we've seen that be a bit of an issue for her
00:09:18.660 in the early days of her politics and even still she had that willingness early on to continue that
00:09:23.060 discussion and i think that she's really kind of coming into her own as a politician and she's
00:09:27.380 really learned to finally craft and tune her message and so i don't notice that we're seeing those
00:09:32.100 types of blips at events that she attends as often anymore because she just is really focused and i
00:09:36.980 think she stays really on point on message and i think she did that yesterday so i agree that this
00:09:41.300 will really bode well for her in the long run all right well we look forward are you going to be
00:09:45.700 doing any of this on your show this weekend of course so you guys on saturday for that so keep
00:09:50.900 an eye out for the alberta roundup i i kind of assume i hoped because that would have been a really
00:09:54.900 anticlimactic end of the interview you said no we're doing something else so uh that'll be on
00:09:58.660 alberta roundup this weekend rachel emmanuel as always keeping us connected with what's happening in
00:10:03.220 my i don't want to say my favorite province in canada but your favorite province yeah my favorite
