Juno News - Woke ideology is ruining entertainment

00:00:00.000 Former Liberal MP Adam Vaughn claims that a photo from a Pierre Polyev rally was photoshopped,

00:00:05.960 the media blame Will Smith's Oscar slap on intersectionality, Disney tries to sexualize

00:00:11.260 little kids, and the Trudeau Liberals were flat out lying when they told you about their carbon

00:00:16.200 tax schemes. It's Fake News Friday, I'm Kenneth Malcolm and this is The Kenneth Malcolm Show.

00:00:30.000 Hi everyone, thank you so much for tuning into our Friday podcast where we focus on the media and how

00:00:36.480 they distort things, how what they are telling you is not true, and today we're going to do a bit of

00:00:41.580 a deeper dive into the culture as well because there's so many interesting cultural things that

00:00:47.500 happened in the past week that we want to talk about. So joining me as usual is my producer Harrison

00:00:52.280 Faulkner. He's a journalist here at True North and a producer on the show. Harrison, thank you for

00:00:56.460 joining us today. Thank you Candace, happy to be here. Okay, so this is kind of a funny one. We

00:01:02.440 know that Pierre Polyev, he's running for leader of the Conservative Party, and he has been having

00:01:06.700 these rallies that are very well attended. It's interesting, he was on my show last week, he told

00:01:12.160 me about how he was having big crowds at his rallies, and this is becoming true everywhere he goes. There

00:01:18.120 is a huge interest, especially among younger Canadians, interested in what he has to say. But for some people

00:01:23.980 on social media, liberals on social media, they just don't believe him. They see a big crowd, and they

00:01:28.900 instantly think that it must be fake, and that it must be photoshopped. So you brought this one to my

00:01:33.300 attention, Harrison, Adam Vaughn. The reason we included this in Fake News Friday, by the way, is

00:01:37.700 because so often the legacy media takes their cues from liberals on Twitter, usually people like Gerald

00:01:42.840 Butts, sometimes people like Adam Vaughn, making these claims, and then lo and behold, a few weeks later,

00:01:47.660 we'll see this storyline coming up in the legacy media. So we wanted to cover this one today. Harrison,

00:01:53.000 why don't you walk us through this story? Yeah, so as you said, Adam Vaughn is sort of one of these

00:01:58.580 useful leftist Twitter personalities for the media, now that he's no longer a sitting MP, and

00:02:06.900 he really made a mess of this tweet here. Pierre Paulyev held a rally in London, Ontario. I believe

00:02:13.980 it was a noon rally on a Monday, and it was packed in this place, in this sort of hotel,

00:02:22.600 conference room, and it was completely packed to the brim, and no one has really seen this in,

00:02:27.140 I think, mainstream conservative politics at this level for a leadership race. Anyway, Adam Vaughn

00:02:34.360 basically wrote on Twitter that the people in the images of Pierre Paulyev's rally were photoshopped

00:02:40.980 in. And he writes on Twitter, he writes, one of the hardest parts of Photoshop is getting the shadows

00:02:46.740 right. They're all in the same room, or are they? He questions. This, this, this many shadows from

00:02:53.400 different angles is odd, especially when sunlight outside is backlighting the range of exposures

00:02:58.140 and angles. And then he compares the photo, sorry, to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,

00:03:04.760 the Beatles album cover. So my first reaction to this, Candace, was that for a liberal like Adam Vaughn,

00:03:11.380 who had never seen a crowd this large, they must have been trying to figure out how this could

00:03:16.040 possibly be the case, how, how someone could possibly be, be, you know, attracting all these

00:03:21.700 people to hear them speak, because for them, they're not used to that. They're probably used

00:03:25.500 to the range of what, 20, 25 people. This looks like it's well into the hundreds, Candace, but I want

00:03:32.780 to go through quickly some of the, some of the Twitter reactions, and then throw it back to you for

00:03:37.380 your thoughts on this. But, uh, our own Andrew Lawton really went after Andrew Vaughn for this. On

00:03:43.140 Twitter, he basically took a photo of a green screen studio and said, wow, Adam Vaughn, look at the size

00:03:49.020 of this crowd out for Pierre Polyev, which I thought was, which I thought was quite funny. And the, uh,

00:03:55.340 the, the, the head of Rebel News, Ezra Levant, uh, basically responded to Adam Vaughn saying, this is a

00:04:02.880 very odd conspiracy. What a, what an odd thing to go down, uh, and to try and, to try and, and, and

00:04:08.920 paint. And obviously Adam Vaughn was quickly, uh, debunked because videos of the event had surfaced

00:04:15.380 and it was clear that no one was Photoshopping anyone. This was just a made up weird conspiracy

00:04:21.060 from the liberals. And Candace, I think they're panicking a little bit. Well, it's just, yeah,

00:04:25.600 it's sort of a strange accusation because we all know like Photoshop is not that sophisticated. It's

00:04:31.800 really hard to get Photoshop, right. And the thought that like some, you know, volunteers on

00:04:36.440 the Pierre Polyev campaign would have the time, uh, to go out and put that together. The reality is

00:04:41.100 when you're in a big ballroom, uh, there's lots of different lighting, right? It depends on where

00:04:44.560 you're standing. And, and some people are maybe right under a chandelier. And so they'll have more

00:04:48.820 light on their face. Some people might have light from like a side light. And the, the, the idea that

00:04:53.180 some liberal is sitting there, uh, dissecting this and, and convincing himself, like it, to me,

00:04:58.620 it sort of shows the complete paranoia and almost psychosis of liberals sitting on Twitter that they,

00:05:05.000 that they imagine things and they're so confident in their imagined perspective that they're willing

00:05:09.840 to put it out there. Uh, you know, thinking that they're going to get validated or something like

00:05:13.500 that. Well, yes, this former liberal MP was thoroughly debunked because he he's, he's delusional

00:05:19.500 if he thinks that someone's going to go out and Photoshop. And, and yes, of course the, the reality

00:05:24.240 is that Pierre is quite popular. And I think that that is a real threat for the liberals. He's, he's

00:05:29.520 got a lot of attention. A lot of people very enthusiastic about his campaigns. People are showing

00:05:34.480 up. And if I were a liberal, I would be, I would be worried too. I don't know if I would go to the

00:05:38.060 extent of trying to create a conspiracy theory to try to discredit them. There's probably better ways

00:05:43.060 to do that than to pretend that some, uh, backroom operative is sitting there like copying and pasting 0.99

00:05:49.340 people and putting them in an image. There's a, you know, much better ways to spend your, your time

00:05:54.940 and energy as a conservative operative than that. But, but I think you're right. I think it shows a

00:06:00.060 broader, uh, threat to the liberals, to Justin Trudeau's, uh, time in, in office and his time as prime

00:06:05.500 minister. And if, if, if Polyev can keep up the momentum and if the, uh, conservatives, you know, can

00:06:11.260 continue to, to stay on track with, with hammering liberals and their weakness, I think that this all poses a

00:06:16.140 very real threat for Justin Trudeau. Okay. Harrison, I really want to talk about the Oscars because it

00:06:21.660 sort of dominated the news cycle this week. And there has been a sort of a lot of iterations on

00:06:26.380 this, on this, on this slap, this, this big moment from the Oscars. It's interesting because I think

00:06:31.820 when I was growing up, like in the nineties and two thousands, the Oscars were a relevant cultural

00:06:36.940 institution. The films that would be nominated were films that everyone would have seen. Uh, you know,

00:06:42.140 there were Oscar viewing parties where people would go and they would watch all the movies that were

00:06:45.260 nominated, uh, for best picture. And then, and then, and then, you know, you'd watch the Oscars itself

00:06:50.300 and find out who won, uh, the last few years, I can't say that I've even heard of any of this,

00:06:55.340 of the films that were nominated. They've really gone down a woke intersectional path focused on

00:07:00.220 the most obscure sort of anti-American films, films that no one's seen films that don't really resonate

00:07:05.980 with the public. And so because of that, uh, that the, you know, these are kind of award shows where you just

00:07:11.500 see a very arrogant elite Hollywood stars, basically lecturing the public, talking about

00:07:18.060 how their morals are superior, even though their morals are so off base. So, so, so removed from

00:07:23.660 where the sort of typical everyday North American is in, in terms of their values and their culture.

00:07:29.420 There's just this, this dichotomy that that's happening, uh, where, where people are just tuning

00:07:33.980 out. No, no one's watching the Oscars. No one pays attention. I saw clips here and there,

00:07:38.140 and it was just so cringy and so embarrassingly bad. You know, they're like obsessed with this

00:07:43.660 Florida bill, which we're going to talk about a little later in the show, uh, that they call

00:07:47.100 the don't say gay bill. Uh, really it's just a bill protecting, uh, very small children from being 0.97

00:07:52.780 indoctrinated with a, a very, uh, radical sexual ideology. Anyway, the, the Oscars are just so

00:07:59.740 irrelevant. Um, this year though, something different happened. Everyone knows what I'm talking about.

00:08:04.380 Uh, there's this crazy scene where Chris Rock was out there making a pretty tame, mild joke about

00:08:09.500 Jada Pinkett, Pinkett Smith with her, with her haircut. Apparently he didn't know that she suffered

00:08:13.260 from alopecia, which makes her hair fall out. So Jada Pinkett has her hair very, uh, short. He, he made

00:08:19.020 a very tame joke about it. I, I didn't see anything wrong with the joke. In fact, when they first cut

00:08:24.860 to Will Smith after the joke, he was laughing. He was laughing at the joke, right? And then all of a sudden,

00:08:30.300 you know, you see Jada Pinkett Smith's face, she gets angry and Will Smith just like loses it in,

00:08:36.380 in a very, very shocking way. Right. This, this idea that someone tells a joke about your wife

00:08:41.340 that you don't like and you go up and hit them. Harris, it almost seems staged. I don't know when

00:08:45.100 I see it, it's like, how did this, how did this even happen? I know some people felt that way too.

00:08:49.420 They didn't, it, it seems surreal because it was just so bizarre, but, but it sort of goes with this

00:08:54.540 leftist idea that words are violent. And so, so words that are hurtful or violent, and therefore

00:09:00.300 you can respond to words that you don't like with real violence. And then that's sort of where we

00:09:04.460 have come as a culture. So there's just so much about this scene and what happened here, uh, that,

00:09:10.700 that, that, that, that, so it's, it's so, uh, it's so much evident of where we are as a society,

00:09:15.660 where we are as a culture. What, what did you think about this moment at the Oscars?

00:09:19.500 For me, there's, there's two things about this that I think need to be addressed.

00:09:23.740 The first is that every time I see it, it just looks fake. I don't, I don't really understand

00:09:28.700 how this actually occurred. It's two actors that might be part of it at an event that nobody is

00:09:34.220 watching at an event in which they are desperate for attention, uh, and, and relevance because

00:09:39.180 frankly, people are sick of hearing political, uh, diatribes every time someone wins an award,

00:09:45.180 uh, and every, and every time some fake comedian or has been goes up on the stage to try and make

00:09:51.020 jokes, uh, which inevitably end up just being, you know, liberal, uh, lame liberal talking points.

00:09:57.820 But the CBC, of course, never missing an opportunity, Candace, to, uh, jump on a cultural

00:10:03.020 issue to push their agenda. The CBC wanted to make sure that this incident actually, uh, was looked

00:10:09.020 at through the lens of, of course, some sort of racial, uh, intersectional lens or whatever.

00:10:14.620 So I want to just quickly go over the points of this article because it's insane.

00:10:17.660 So the CBC writes that the Oscars incident raises questions about bad male behavior,

00:10:22.460 says black community advocate. Uh, and it's, it claims that Smith's slap on rock runs the risk

00:10:27.980 of inspiring racist tropes when it should raise questions about toxicity. So we're going back to

00:10:33.260 the old toxic, uh, uh, toxic masculine behavior or whatever they want to try and bring back up.

00:10:39.740 And then the article writes conversation should be directed toward directed more toward toxic male

00:10:44.700 behavior. Uh, Tolu, uh, Illaboye, an advocate within Winnipeg's black community said the episode

00:10:51.100 raises questions about the acceptable limits of insult, comedy, celebrity privilege, privilege,

00:10:55.980 and the propensity of men to use violence. And then just for good measure, Candace at the end,

00:11:01.340 of course, they write that, uh, comedians need to be more sensitive in their jokes because that's

00:11:06.220 really what the problem is here. That comedians are being too, are being too harsh. The article

00:11:10.620 writes Winnipeg comedian, Emmanuel Lamoureux said the incident should also make comics air on the

00:11:16.780 side of caution if they're ever tempted to punch down at people. So there you go. I guess that's

00:11:21.580 the, that's the standard they want to set, but really Candace, no one is watching this stuff.

00:11:26.140 No one cares about the Oscars anymore. And I think they're just so desperate for attention. And it's

00:11:30.940 kind of obvious to see why, I mean, the wokeness has reached a whole new level with these people.

00:11:35.980 It's, I think it's, it's turning people off for all, for all the right reasons.

00:11:40.620 Well, it's one of those things too, that, that the, the kind of idea of the Oscars has become

00:11:45.340 like a parody of itself. And so they get a host that comes up and sort of gently pokes fun at all

00:11:50.140 these very privileged, very elite people in the room. And, and we saw it throughout, throughout.

00:11:54.860 I know that there was jokes about several other people in the room. That's typically what they do.

00:11:58.140 They just go around the room and kind of make very light, gentle jokes that like, whether it's Kim

00:12:03.020 Kardashian or, or Leonardo DiCaprio. And, and, and it's kind of like, you know, if you're going to

00:12:08.460 be a high profile celebrity, you have to be a little bit self-deprecating and recognize your

00:12:12.700 extreme privilege. So, so that you can kind of take a joke. Right. And so the idea that, that,

00:12:18.540 you know, Will Smith couldn't handle this joke. Well, well, again, I emphasize the point that he

00:12:23.020 laughed at first, and then it was his wife that really couldn't handle it. She didn't like it at all. 0.77

00:12:27.100 And so, you know, she gave, she gave her husband a look and then all of a sudden he went up there

00:12:32.060 and really, really overreacted. I, I will point out that, um, like, I don't know exactly how much

00:12:37.820 longer, but later in the, in the evening, I think it was like very shortly thereafter,

00:12:41.420 like 20 minutes later, Will Smith won an Oscar and he received a standing ovation, right? So, so,

00:12:46.860 so the people in the room didn't even see anything wrong with his behavior. They didn't punish him in

00:12:51.580 any way. He was out at an after party later that evening, dancing and partying. And you told me he was

00:12:57.260 singing his own rap song. Dancing to his own song after winning an Oscar. I mean,

00:13:02.860 how much more. He clearly had, he clearly had no sense of regret or remorse, right? He was,

00:13:07.420 he was on cloud nine. And so again, yeah, this is, this is, this is where we are as a culture.

00:13:12.540 Uh, we can't take jokes. We, we can't even joke about things anymore. Um, and, and everything boils

00:13:18.220 down to intersectionality and toxic masculinity. I mean, they got the, the, the guy was defending his

00:13:23.980 wife who was upset. He wasn't upset. His wife was upset. So I, I'm not quite sure how you get,

00:13:29.180 get to toxic masculinity from there. And anything about how this had a racial element is so absurd,

00:13:35.580 Harrison, because Chris Rock and Will Smith come from the same socio-cultural background. They're

00:13:41.980 both about the same age. They're the same race. They have the same background. They're the same status.

00:13:46.380 They're equally as famous. Like it's trying to put the race element on here. Just,

00:13:50.860 just doesn't really work. But again, it shows you how obsessed our culture is with things like race

00:13:56.620 and privilege and the whole woke mindset. And again, I think that's why so many people

00:14:00.860 are just tuning out. Like we would not be talking about the Oscars today, had it not been for the

00:14:05.900 fact that, that, that Will Smith slapped Chris Rock. Otherwise, this is just totally culturally, um,

00:14:11.660 irrelevant. Uh, well, one of the, one of the other themes that I didn't notice at the,

00:14:15.420 at the Oscars was just his obsession about this Florida bill. So I wanted to talk a little bit

00:14:19.740 about this today too, Harrison. And it's such a, a, such a, uh, an interesting, uh, just a complete

00:14:26.700 difference between how a conservative government in Florida is governing when it comes to children's

00:14:31.660 education with Rhonda Santos in Florida passing, um, this bill called the parental rights and education

00:14:37.100 bill, which the media, uh, erroneously call the don't say gay bill, even though the bill

00:14:41.340 isn't about gay per se. It doesn't even have the word gay in it. It's more about parental rights

00:14:47.340 in protecting little kids. We're talking about children aged kindergarten to grade two, I believe,

00:14:52.620 or grade three. So, so like five to eight year olds in, in primary school. Um, uh, compare that to

00:14:58.780 what's happening here in Ontario, Harrison, where we also have a conservative government with Doug Ford

00:15:03.900 and they are pushing, uh, a totally opposite bill bill, uh, 67, uh, focused on inserting, uh, CRT

00:15:11.100 and critical race theory and race racist division into our schools. So it's, it's, it's kind of a sad,

00:15:17.740 uh, picture that, that conservatives in our country, uh, don't stand up to the woke indoctrination in

00:15:23.500 education, uh, whereas in Florida they do. But anyway, Rhonda Santos, uh, the, the culture,

00:15:29.420 the media, the Hollywood elites, basically everyone in the media, uh, his, is really taking his bill out

00:15:37.420 of context and saying that it's doing something that it isn't trying to make it seem like it's

00:15:40.620 bigoted or homophobic, or it's going to suppress gay children. Um, you know, we're not, we're not

00:15:46.620 talking about teenagers here. We're talking about very little kids. Um, and, and, and yet there's still

00:15:51.820 this, this total obsession, um, with opposing this bill. What do you, what do you make of all this,

00:15:55.980 this Harrison? Well, the left's reaction to the entire bill, uh, in my opinion, has been a clear

00:16:02.860 example of the left protesting too much, making it, they're, they're really, really fighting this.

00:16:09.180 And anyone who actually knows what's in the bill knows exactly, as you said, Candace, that this is

00:16:13.460 about not, not forcing sexual, uh, leftist indoctrination onto, uh, kindergarten to grade three

00:16:22.100 students. Anyone who is promoting that, I think has serious issues, but the, the idea that this

00:16:28.260 needs to be fought as a leftist trying to do as companies like Disney are trying to do is very

00:16:33.380 bizarre. It's, it's one of those examples of, you know, why are you, why are you protesting this so

00:16:37.860 much? What is, what is, what is with it that, that really makes you want to push this stuff onto young

00:16:44.260 kids? And I think people need to look into that. And as you said, Candace, the, the contrast between

00:16:49.300 the way that, uh, the way that some conservative governors, some Republican governors, because not

00:16:54.900 all Republican governors in the U S are, are taking the fight, uh, to the, to the radical left as much

00:17:01.140 as governor DeSantis is, but the way that someone like governor DeSantis is handling these, uh, these

00:17:07.540 radical leftist, uh, bills and attempts to, you know, change his state compared to the way that we're

00:17:13.600 getting, uh, the way that a super majority PC government in Ontario is doing it's, it's, it's

00:17:19.360 unfortunate because as I said to you yesterday, uh, in one of our meetings, we, you know, governor

00:17:25.720 DeSantis is providing a roadmap for conservative premiers in the country as to, as to how to handle

00:17:32.260 these attempts by the radical left. So we're getting in Canada, we're basically, we're learning

00:17:37.180 what are, what the, what the opponent is trying to do. And we're seeing exactly how we should combat

00:17:43.560 this sort of thing. And I, I hope that, um, that these are, you know, that notes are being taken

00:17:49.000 and that something is going to be done about this in Ontario, because if it's happening in Florida,

00:17:53.720 this is exactly what's going to happen in Canada eventually. And so it's, it's just disappointing to

00:17:59.000 see that we don't have the same quality of leadership, but as I was saying before, Candace,

00:18:03.120 the left is really, really pushing back on, uh, on this Florida bill. And there were some incredible

00:18:10.360 clips that were released by Christopher Rufo, who has really kind of made his mark, um, in documenting

00:18:16.520 the CRT critical race theory world and the radical left and, and, and kind of showing the world what

00:18:22.600 these people are saying. And so I want to get into these two Disney executive board meeting clips

00:18:27.780 because they're really, really insane. So the first clip is from the corporate president,

00:18:33.120 Carrie Burke, who talks about how her, as a mother, uh, of trans kids and of a pansexual kid,

00:18:41.500 she really wants to see more, uh, more engagement from more, more LGBTQ characters in Disney stories.

00:18:48.940 So let's watch this clip and get your reaction to it. I'm here as a mother of two queer children,

00:18:55.580 actually. Um, uh, one transgender child, um, um, and one pansexual child, um, and, and also as a leader.

00:19:06.320 Um, and that was the thing that really got me because I have heard so much from so many of my

00:19:12.200 colleagues over the course of the last couple of weeks, um, in open forums and through emails and

00:19:17.900 phone conversations. And, um, um, I feel a responsibility to speak, um, not just for myself, but for them.

00:19:26.280 Mm-hmm. How brave. Um, to all of us, we, we had a, we had an open forum last week at 20th, where,

00:19:30.860 um, again, the home of, of really incredible groundbreaking LGBTQIA stories over the years,

00:19:38.800 where, um, one of our execs stood up and said, you know, we only have a handful of queer leads

00:19:45.520 in our content. And I went, what? I, that can't be true. And I, and I, and I realized, oh, it actually

00:19:53.160 is true. We have many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in our stories. And, and, and yet we don't have

00:20:02.480 enough leads. So Candace, what are your thoughts on that? I mean, that's just, what, what can you

00:20:09.800 possibly say about that? Well, like there's, there's so much to unpack there, right? So, so, so the idea

00:20:14.740 that, that, that all of these people are so adamantly opposed to Ronda Santos's bill because

00:20:18.500 they want, they want sexual indoctrination of little kids, like not, not, not, not, not kids 0.82

00:20:23.480 that are like about to hit puberty or post puberty when, when like they need to start being educated

00:20:28.260 on sexuality, but we're, we're talking about little, little kids. And, and that, that's the purpose of

00:20:33.580 Disney. Like I have two little kids, one-year-old and a three-year-old. I took them to Disney World

00:20:37.340 last year. And the purpose is to enjoy like the magic of childhood and, and imagination,

00:20:43.420 not be indoctrinated with this ideology, Harrison. And, and even like what she's talking about,

00:20:49.120 I had to, I had to Google pansexual. I don't, I've never heard it. I don't know what that means.

00:20:52.960 I don't understand how you can have a child that's pansexual. I don't, I legitimately don't 1.00

00:20:57.140 understand what the difference between pansexual, which as I learned from Googling is just someone

00:21:01.420 who's not restrained by sexuality. And there may be attracted to all kinds of different types

00:21:06.340 of people. That sounds like maybe someone that's bisexual to me, but regardless, you know,

00:21:11.440 we have this new proliferation of all of these different sexual identities, this ideology that

00:21:16.180 is, is being promoted by these people. Why would you have to have 50% of your characters

00:21:22.540 identifying as this long, like laundry list of, of different sexual orientations? Again,

00:21:28.380 we're talking about little kids. We're not, we're not talking about teenagers. We're not talking about

00:21:32.180 adults. We're talking about little, small children who don't need to be taught at all about sexuality.

00:21:38.180 So the fact that this is a priority from Disney to me, I think that the left is really just jumping

00:21:44.500 the shark on all of this. Like they're so out of touch with the everyday person, with the everyday

00:21:49.140 parent. And they think that like, they're encouraging each other, that this is like a winning issue for

00:21:54.280 them. And they need to just like keep marching forward. I don't think they're realizing Harrison,

00:21:58.060 how much they're galvanizing normal parents and everyday parents against them. Because again,

00:22:04.020 like I have little kids, I'm not going to just let them turn on Disney. I mean, I don't think I

00:22:08.580 would have in the first place, but the idea that a lot of parents just put their kids in front of,

00:22:13.420 you know, they turn on the TV and, and, and let them watch Disney. That's how I grew up watching

00:22:18.320 Disney movies. And, you know, the idea that, that we would just like let our little kids watch a station

00:22:26.160 or a network where the president, the corporate president talks like this, it's, it's, it's really wild.

00:22:31.700 Yeah. The corporate president who has pan, a pansexual child and a transgender child. That's 0.97

00:22:38.260 the way she describes him. I think, I think that is basically all the evidence you need to know about

00:22:42.740 where this company is headed and what they're doing. And it gets even, it gets even crazier,

00:22:46.760 Candace. So, uh, that this same journalist who found that, found that original clip also found a

00:22:52.300 clip from an executive producer. And I'm not even going to explain it. I'm just going to play it in full.

00:22:56.480 So, so we can react to it. It's, it's unbelievable. This is the executive producer of Disney. Her name is

00:23:01.500 Latoya Ravineau. And this is what she had to say in her board meeting.

00:23:06.260 It's like, I love Disney's content. I grew up watching, you know, all of the classics.

00:23:10.280 They have been a huge, like informative part of my life. But at the same time, like I worked at

00:23:15.000 small studios, most of my career and I'd heard, you know, hear whispers. Like I'd heard things like,

00:23:19.880 Oh, you know, they won't let you show this at a Disney show. And I'm like, okay. So I was a little

00:23:24.300 like sus when I started, but then my experience was bafflingly the opposite of what I had heard

00:23:32.900 on my little pocket of like, you know, crowd family, Disney TVA. Um, the showrunners were super

00:23:39.500 welcoming, Meredith Roberts. And like the, our leadership over there has been so welcoming to

00:23:45.840 like my, like not at all secret gay agenda. And so like, I, I feel like I felt like it was,

00:23:52.600 I mean, like maybe it was that way in the past, but I guess like something must have happened in

00:23:57.320 the last, like, like they were turning it around, they're going hard. And then all that like momentum

00:24:03.160 that I felt like that sense of, I don't have to be afraid to like, let's have these two characters

00:24:09.840 kiss. Let's in the background. Like I was just wherever I could just basically adding queerness 0.96

00:24:15.340 to like, if you see anything weird, but like, I just was like, no one would stop me.

00:24:22.060 So no one was trying to stop her Candace when she was just trying to add queerness in every 1.00

00:24:26.640 aspect of Disney. And there it is. She admits it her not at all secret gay agenda. So why any parent 0.70

00:24:34.520 would subject their kids to modern Disney, a modern Disney movie, when these people admit to you what

00:24:40.300 they're doing, uh, is beyond me. I, I, I completely agree. It's like, she's so giddy and so excited

00:24:47.260 about inserting her sexual ideology into programming meant for small children, meant for little kids 1.00

00:24:52.960 who are, you know, the, the, again, the purpose of these Disney films, the purpose of, of all of this

00:24:57.820 entertainment is just, you know, the magic of childhood and, and being innocent and, and discovering,

00:25:04.240 and the idea that they're trying to essentially brainwash or insert their ideology, adding queerness, 0.96

00:25:10.940 adding gay kisses. Like I, I, the, the, the, the idea that they think that this is their role, 0.98

00:25:16.420 this is what they think that parents want from them, or that parents are going to be continuously

00:25:21.120 willing, uh, to accept is, is pretty wild. I wanted to bring up this, this poll, Harris thinks it's

00:25:26.360 really interesting. This is Gallup did comprehensive poll. This is Americans, not Canadians, but I'm sure

00:25:30.220 that there is something similar. I'm sure the numbers are, are almost identical, but you can go

00:25:34.080 through the generations and look at the proliferation of people who identify as LGBT, right? So you look

00:25:40.200 back at like my parents' generation, baby boomers, 2.6%, uh, of people born between 1946 and 1964 identify

00:25:47.720 as a, uh, as being LGBT, uh, Gen X, 1965 to 1980, 4.2%. So we're steadily doubling with every generation,

00:25:57.300 millennials, my generation born between 1981 and 1996, 10%, uh, identify as being LGBT. And then

00:26:04.900 your generation, Harrison, uh, I don't, I don't know what happened, but, uh, Gen Z, those born between

00:26:10.160 97 and 2003, 20%, so one in five people in your age group identify as being LGBT. So, so, so all of 1.00

00:26:18.820 this is just to say that this idea of, of sexuality, um, and, and, you know, how you identify, it's,

00:26:25.360 it's being heavily pushed on people and, and it's working, you know, this, this not so secret gay 0.74

00:26:31.000 agenda is working in making people identify more and more as LGBT, as gay, they're pushing queerness 0.89

00:26:38.480 and, and it's having a real impact on the way that people live their lives. Those are staggering numbers

00:26:44.680 just in, you know, the lifetime of people alive today, how, how much that has grown and how popular

00:26:50.760 it is. So, you know, sometimes we talk about how, you know, all of this cultural push to, to, to insert

00:26:59.320 these kinds of views in little kids, um, it must be turning off parents. There's no way that they can

00:27:05.880 possibly be winning this cultural war, but then you look at those numbers and it's pretty clear that

00:27:09.820 they, that they are, they, they are encouraging so many people, um, to, to, to live in a lifestyle

00:27:16.800 that's very, very alternative. And it's not just happening in the U S I mean, we found this example

00:27:22.480 of drag kids from CBC, uh, they, they put out a documentary of small little kids who participate

00:27:29.520 in these drag shows. We're talking about kids aged nine to 11 who go out and, and, you know, very,

00:27:36.400 very, very sexualized, um, performing as, as again, little kids. This is the kind of thing that we used to

00:27:42.960 protect children from the Canadian media. We're all over promoting it and defending it. We had,

00:27:49.280 you know, stories in the global mail stories at CBC, CTV, uh, talking about how important this is

00:27:56.720 and how it's not inherently sexual and that the people who oppose it are basically just, um, bigots.

00:28:03.140 So, so this whole idea that, that, that children, it's like fair game to sexualize them. It's fair game

00:28:08.120 to indoctrinate them with an ideology. And, you know, this, this is where we are as a culture.

00:28:13.400 I it's, it's, it's, it's so disturbing, uh, for, for me as a parent and, uh, you know, it's, it's so

00:28:19.240 prominent. It's great to see people in Florida, people like Rhonda Santos conservatives starting

00:28:23.640 to push back. I, I hope that there is more pushback against this kind of stuff in Canada as well.

00:28:28.360 Okay. Harrison, I want to shift back to Canadian politics for a minute here, because there's a pretty

00:28:33.640 big news story that most media outlets just completely glossed over. So the parliamentary

00:28:39.560 budget officer, uh, put out a report saying that despite what the liberal government had claimed,

00:28:44.920 despite what Trudeau said over and over and over again, during the 2021 election,

00:28:49.240 most households will see a net loss as a result of the carbon tax and the carbon tax rebates. So we

00:28:55.320 heard Justin Trudeau say throughout the campaign over and over again, that the carbon tax will not hurt

00:29:00.280 families will not hurt the middle class and that most people will be better off because they're

00:29:04.520 getting a rebate, a rebate. Uh, Catherine McKenna, who is a former liberal environment minister said

00:29:09.960 that eight out of 10 households will be better off because of the carbon tax, because they were giving

00:29:15.160 this rebate. Well, that is not true. That is not true at all. The parliamentary budget officer,

00:29:20.200 you can't have a more official, uh, refute than that. Uh, they said that, no, this is not true.

00:29:26.840 Uh, Trudeau is lying during the election. Most Canadians will pay more as a result of the carbon

00:29:31.320 tax. You know, it's so interesting, Harrison, because I know we talked about this during the

00:29:34.360 election. Uh, but when it comes to the media and the role that they play in Canadian politics,

00:29:38.680 they focus so heavily on fact-checking and holding the opposition to account.

00:29:43.480 Anything a conservative says they will fact-check, they will dig in, they will try to like find some

00:29:48.680 small little point that's off to make it seem like they are not being honest. When it comes to

00:29:52.840 liberals claims though, they basically take them at face value. They don't, they don't scrutinize

00:29:57.240 them. They don't make them explain them. And then here we have six months later, it turns out that

00:30:01.160 what they were saying was completely false and you barely even hear about it in the legacy media.

00:30:05.800 It's such a double standard. It's such a failure to hold to account the powerful people in our society.

00:30:12.200 I know we've had this conversation before. Um, but what do you make of the fact that the liberals just

00:30:17.560 completely, uh, they don't have the same kind of accountability in the media as, as the other

00:30:22.200 political parties? No, you're exactly right. We've seen this so often. This is the way it goes.

00:30:27.080 The liberals will make a promise. They'll make a promise that is obviously a pie in the sky

00:30:32.440 thinking, but it sounds good. And it makes for good headlines for the media, which they pay off.

00:30:37.400 Then once, you know, X amount of months play out, then the actual people who know what's going on,

00:30:42.920 the parliamentary budget officer, or in another example, for another example, the ethics commissioner,

00:30:48.520 right? Then they come in, refute the liberal claims, prove to people that what the liberals

00:30:54.200 are telling you, uh, is not actually true. You're not going to actually get money back from this

00:30:59.000 carbon tax scheme. All that's going to happen is just going to be a net loss for you and a net loss

00:31:03.720 for the Canadian economy. But once those reports come out, people, the majority of Canadian,

00:31:09.400 the Canadian population aren't, aren't checking the, aren't checking the parliamentary budget

00:31:13.880 officers report. So the media knows this as long as they don't cover the, the actual, you know,

00:31:19.480 the facts after, uh, the claim has been made, then it doesn't matter because it, it, it works out for

00:31:24.760 the liberals. So the media gets what they want. The liberals get what they want. And as you said,

00:31:29.160 Candace, the opposition is held to a, uh, far, uh, harsher standard. And that's just a constant

00:31:36.040 that I think politicians in this country and Canadians should come to realize that the, the,

00:31:41.480 the cards are stacked against the conservatives and the opposition in this country.

00:31:45.720 And those that, those that pay up for the media shockingly get better headlines and get better

00:31:50.920 coverage. Yeah. Yeah. It's almost, it's almost like the Trudeau government pays the media. Oh,

00:31:55.240 wait, they do, they do. Well, Harris is April 1st. So, um, none of this has been an April fool's day

00:32:00.360 joke. It's all, it's all very real, sadly. Uh, one, one, one other thing that is real that is as of

00:32:04.680 today, the federal carbon tax will go up. So there is a 25% increase in the federal carbon tax.

00:32:11.560 Going up a total of $50 per ton of emissions. So you're expect to pay about two more cents,

00:32:17.560 uh, at the pumps, uh, per liter, uh, of gas. Also, uh, the, the members of parliament MPs will give

00:32:25.240 themselves a pay raise, uh, as of today, because you know, we've got what, uh, hundreds and hundreds

00:32:30.680 of billions of dollars in debt and deficit. And here we have politicians giving themselves a raise.

00:32:35.880 Why not? Um, that's, that's sort of the magical world of budgets will balance themselves. Um,

00:32:41.960 Justin Trudeau's fiscal policy, uh, well, he doesn't, he doesn't think of a monetary policy.

00:32:45.960 Remember he told us that during the election as well. So Canada's finances are a complete and total

00:32:50.440 mess and they are just going to get worse. Uh, the, the, the pocketbook issues, uh, people are

00:32:55.080 going to start paying more for everything. And it's, it's one of the things just to go full circle

00:33:00.840 is why, uh, so many people are showing up to conservative rallies. So many people are,

00:33:05.880 you know, excited and enthusiastic about someone like Pierre Polyev who is really talking about

00:33:10.120 this stuff and, and you bringing it to the forefront of the national conversation. It's

00:33:15.160 because Canadians are sick and tired of the amount of money that they're paying. And again, as of

00:33:20.600 today, they're paying even more. So Harrison, thank you so much for joining us here on fake

00:33:25.160 news Friday. It's always a fun to have you on the show. Thanks for joining us. Happy to be here,

00:33:29.400 Candice. Thank you. All right. That's Harrison Faulkner,

00:33:31.800 true journalist. I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is the Candice Malcolm show.
