Rebel News Podcast - CBC's climate change doomsday cure-all sets tone for the 2019 election

00:00:00.400 You're listening to a Rebel Media Podcast.

00:00:03.880 CBC seems more ridiculously CBC than CBC normally does these days, if that is even possible.

00:00:11.540 And so I've conducted a tiny non-scientific experiment to see if I'm right about this.

00:00:16.980 It's June 21st, 2019, I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed and you're watching The Ezra Levant Show.

00:00:24.720 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:00:28.360 There's 8,500 customers here and you won't give them an answer.

00:00:32.700 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's my bloody right to do so.

00:00:43.600 So my news feed, probably like yours, has been absolutely polluted with the term climate emergency over the last few days.

00:00:51.140 Thanks in no small part to Canada's Environment Minister Catherine McKenna's meaningless declaration in the House of Commons

00:00:57.360 that Canada is in some sort of climate catastrophe.

00:01:00.600 And it would appear that CBC is one of the very worst pushers of all this climate emergency hysteria.

00:01:08.140 Now normally in my daily work and in my daily videos here at The Rebel,

00:01:11.980 I do a lot of hard journalism with a bit of commentary at the end.

00:01:16.240 I read and go through a lot of government documents, access to information and freedom of information packages as well as order paper questions.

00:01:25.000 It's fine, it's fun and I like it enough because I like to know what the government is doing when they think nobody's watching them.

00:01:33.040 And I especially like for you at home to know what the government is doing when they think nobody's watching them

00:01:39.060 because you're the one paying for it all.

00:01:42.560 But sometimes it's fun to turn the same investigative lens on the competition.

00:01:48.280 And no, I don't mean going through the CBC's expenses, although you know what, wouldn't that be fun and revealing?

00:01:55.540 No, today I'm sort of trying to confirm or debunk my own bias about the CBC and fact check myself a little bit.

00:02:03.660 What I mean is, the CBC really is bad as I think it is?

00:02:07.260 Or am I just blinded by my own disgust of having to fund it all?

00:02:11.560 Let's have a little fun and check it out together.

00:02:14.920 It's Friday, the boss is gone, let's not be too academic tonight.

00:02:20.520 So yesterday I was at my computer waiting on things to upload to the internet.

00:02:26.180 Honestly, to be frank, I spend a lot of time doing that because I live in the middle of nowhere where upload speeds are absolutely molasses in January.

00:02:35.580 So to pass the time, I just pulled up the CBC search bar and I got to work.

00:02:41.380 CBC absolutely loves to talk about climate change.

00:02:45.900 It isn't all in my head.

00:02:47.440 On their website, right now there are nearly 20,000 stories referencing climate change, specifically from the pro-climate change, we're all going to die in 12 years angle.

00:02:58.200 And there are dozens and dozens and dozens of these fear-mongering stories that were just posted since June 18th, including how we now need to be a haven for climate refugees, whatever those things are.

00:03:13.140 This now is versus some 3,721 stories about the oil sands, and approximately 50% of those in my brief leafing through and in my estimation are presenting the oil sands as a net negative in society.

00:03:28.120 Actually, the only thing CBC loves to talk about more than climate change is Trump, with nearly 44,000 hits on the word Trump in the CBC story database.

00:03:38.700 Now, let's flip this a bit and compare it.

00:03:42.820 The CBC, they are absolutely obsessed with Trump.

00:03:45.780 Fine, me too a little bit, but in a different way.

00:03:49.060 If we plug Trump emails into the CBC news search bar, we get almost 12,500 hits under the news tab.

00:03:57.860 If we plug Clinton emails into the news tab, we get just 736 hits in the CBC archive.

00:04:06.280 How's that for misplaced emphasis, right?

00:04:09.400 Let's do a few more of these just for fun.

00:04:12.420 Okay, let's compare missteps by politicians on the right and then on the left.

00:04:17.020 There are some 49 stories in the CBC archives alleging some sort of ties between Alberta Premier Jason Kenney or his nominated candidates and the white supremacist movement.

00:04:30.720 But there are just 41 stories if you search the keywords Trudeau and water bottle, and not one of those stories references the phrase paper-like juice box water bottle sort of things.

00:04:43.960 Ain't that something?

00:04:45.820 Okay, one last one, because I've been noticing an uptick in anti-meat, anti-farming rhetoric, specifically coming from the left, and I bet CBC is jumping on the bandwagon because, really, there's not a left-wing bandwagon these people at the CBC won't jump on.

00:05:04.160 When you search the keyword meatless on the CBC website, I get 228 stories, most of which are trying to sell me on a carbohydrate-laden abomination that masquerades as beef, and then they want me to eat it to save the planet.

00:05:20.420 One story even tells us to dream of a vegan Christmas with tofu ham.

00:05:25.020 Another story tries to show us all the ways to convince our aging parents to deny themselves delicious proteins.

00:05:31.220 So then I searched vegan Ramadan and got just 30 results, but I'm sort of happy Christians aren't alone in this religious holiday vegan torment from the CBC. 0.94

00:05:44.300 Personally, I'd rather die on whatever fiery climate change doomsday they keep promising me than eat a meatless burger, and I'm especially not going to do it under the advice of the people at the CBC.

00:05:56.080 Okay, fun experiment over.

00:05:59.400 What's the moral of the story in all of this?

00:06:02.020 My bias against all things CBC remains righteous.

00:06:06.600 And it's always fun to prove myself right.

00:06:09.160 I love being right.

00:06:10.420 But more importantly, Canadians shouldn't be paying $1.5 billion to a state broadcaster that's been reduced to a left-wing video journal.

00:06:20.480 One that's so more obsessed with Donald Trump than Justin Trudeau's embarrassing mistakes and costly expenses.

00:06:29.820 Stay with us.

00:06:31.100 More up next after the break.

00:06:33.280 I don't know about you folks at home, but I have had it up to the top of my frizzy head with the term climate emergency.

00:06:54.860 And as you know, our parliament has just declared a so-called climate emergency.

00:07:02.560 And I sort of wanted to know what everybody thinks about all the people who are looking at Canada.

00:07:09.360 I want to know maybe what my American friends think about Canada's climate hysteria.

00:07:14.820 So, I contacted one of my friends in the media, one of my fellow United Nations watchers, Alex Newman from The New American.

00:07:25.180 And he joins me now.

00:07:27.040 Hey, Alex, thanks for joining me.

00:07:28.800 I know that you're on a bit of a book tour right now.

00:07:31.620 And I think that your beautiful background behind you has a little bit to do with that.

00:07:37.460 Yeah, well, thank you so much for having me, Sheila.

00:07:38.820 It's great to be with you.

00:07:39.760 And yes, I'm on a national tour right now.

00:07:42.180 Now, the title of my talk is Rescuing Our Children and Our Nation.

00:07:47.200 And so, really, I'm trying to expose what's happening in the public school system.

00:07:50.940 You know, part of it is this climate indoctrination.

00:07:52.880 You know, they're teaching the kids that the gas they exhale is a toxic pollution.

00:07:56.040 And that if we give up all our freedom and all our money to the United Nations, somehow we'll be saved from this evil pollution.

00:08:01.600 It's ludicrous.

00:08:02.500 And, you know, adult Americans pretty much understand that. 0.64

00:08:04.940 But when they're getting them in kindergarten, that's a problem.

00:08:07.900 At the moment, I'm sitting in John Stormer's library.

00:08:10.740 John Stormer just passed away pretty recently, but he was a very well-known activist in the education field.

00:08:18.660 He wrote one of the premier books on this subject called None Dare Call It Education, which is, you know, a fascinating read.

00:08:24.740 And it actually exposed what was going on in the education system many years ago.

00:08:28.400 Unfortunately, the problem has only gotten worse.

00:08:30.280 But it's a real honor to be sitting here in his library.

00:08:32.520 I'm at the Pillar Foundation outside St. Louis, Missouri.

00:08:35.200 Alex, I wanted to have you on because you follow a lot of the same things that I do with regard to the climate change agenda.

00:08:45.580 And I've seen lately, I would say over 2019 in particular, there's this movement for both municipalities and in Canada's embarrassing case countries to declare climate emergencies.

00:09:00.400 Now, I have my own theory about why this is happening.

00:09:04.780 But what's the deal?

00:09:06.160 What's behind it all?

00:09:07.340 Well, I think there's this sense among people in government and people in the United Nations that an emergency, so-called, will give them more latitude to implement some of these draconian policies that they don't think they'd be able to pursue otherwise.

00:09:22.480 You know, Rahm Emanuel, who served as Barack Hussein Obama's chief of staff for a time and went on to go be the mayor of Chicago, where I just left.

00:09:29.860 But he put it very succinctly, where he said, you know, when you have a crisis, it allows you to do things that you otherwise don't think you could have done.

00:09:37.500 And so I think that's their thinking here, that if they claim this is an emergency, they can usurp all of these new powers under the guise of saving us from the emergency.

00:09:45.220 When, you know, the real emergency is the fact that there's a bunch of crazy people running the government who think the gas we exhale is a pollution that we need to pay tax on and have regulate.

00:09:54.680 I mean, that's the real emergency. But, you know, I think what's very clear is that they just want to assume all these new powers within the government and at the international level through the United Nations that they could have never gotten before.

00:10:06.540 You know, great, because you and I are on the same playing field when it comes to that.

00:10:11.240 That's really what I think. Now, right now, Canada isn't really doing anything with their declaration of a climate emergency.

00:10:18.940 But I think changing the language that we use and how we describe the weather, I mean, really, as something of an emergency, it's subliminal fear mongering, isn't it?

00:10:34.220 So when you hear that it's an emergency enough times, pretty soon it's not that big of a deal when the government, like you say, enacts more powers and gives themselves more power and takes away your rights to deal with this so-called emergency.

00:10:50.340 It's like the War Measures Act.

00:10:52.720 Yeah, that's exactly what's happening, Sheila.

00:10:54.320 You know, I noticed this first one, the UK Guardian, you know, about as far to the left as one could possibly be.

00:11:00.380 They've taken to attacking me recently. They've attacked me probably three or four times in the last year.

00:11:04.740 And that's fine. You know, if they want to attack little old me, that's fine.

00:11:07.640 But, you know, I noticed when they started changing the terminology, you know, that they use as standard in their news articles, I thought, oh, it's only going to be a matter of time before other members of the man-made global warming bandwagon get on this.

00:11:20.240 And I saw, you know, the CBC in Canada was one of the first to jump on.

00:11:24.040 And they said, oh, we're going to start referring to it as a climate crisis, you know, and all these kinds of outlandish, all this crazy rhetoric to make us think that we really are in an unprecedented and terrible situation.

00:11:36.760 Whereas if you actually listen to the scientists, quite the opposite is true.

00:11:40.060 You know, Dr. William Happer, who's Trump's advisor on climate change, he and I spoke at a climate conference a few years ago, and his talk was wonderful.

00:11:48.180 And then I went on to interview, and people can see the interview, he explains that, you know, the only emergency is that there's not enough CO2 in the atmosphere.

00:11:54.540 You know, he said plants are designed to live in an atmosphere with four to five times as much CO2.

00:11:58.880 Of course, the CO2 does not control the temperature of the planet.

00:12:02.000 But what he explained is that we really need more CO2.

00:12:05.500 The CO2 would be very good for the planet because plants need more of it.

00:12:08.580 And, of course, plants produce our food, our crops, you know, they feed our animals.

00:12:12.040 And so right now we are at historically very, very low levels of CO2.

00:12:16.040 And, you know, that is the real danger.

00:12:18.120 If these people succeeded and managed to get CO2 levels down even further than where they are now, we could find ourselves in a real predicament.

00:12:24.080 Because as anybody who went to school prior to, you know, the late 1990s knows, CO2 is an essential gas.

00:12:30.240 It's kind of like the building block of life on this planet. 0.97

00:12:33.020 So to declare it a pollution and to declare that we have an emergency around this is just absolutely asinine.

00:12:39.380 Yeah, and it's even becoming controversial amongst those in the mainstream media and left-wing politicians for someone to simply state the scientific fact that it's plant food.

00:12:51.660 I know in Canada we had, you know, we had left-wing politicians attacking right-wing politicians for stating simply that, that CO2 is plant food.

00:13:02.080 And anybody who knows how photosynthesis works, which I think in Canada is grade four science, yeah, it's plant food.

00:13:09.940 And so, I mean, to say, yeah, you're taxing plant food, that's the truth.

00:13:14.700 But it's just these constant language games, like you say, when they're, it started off with global warming.

00:13:20.760 And then when the earth didn't warm up, then it was climate change.

00:13:24.720 And then it was what they, for a time, they tried to say global weirding so that they could attribute any sort of extreme or erratic weather, since that's just weather.

00:13:35.280 That that was somehow evidentiary of some sort of climate catastrophe.

00:13:42.020 And now it's climate crisis.

00:13:43.580 So, I mean, it seems to me that everything keeps getting more and more vague so that anything that happens outside of indoors can be attributed to climate change.

00:13:53.180 That's exactly what's happening.

00:13:54.780 In fact, before global warming, there was actually global cooling back in the 1970s and 80s.

00:13:59.980 If you pick up any American magazine, they would tell you, oh, we have a global cooling emergency.

00:14:04.100 The quacks actually, I mean, you can read this, in Time magazine, they suggested we cover the Arctic with black soot to melt the Arctic ice cap 1.00

00:14:12.780 because otherwise we were all going to die from global cooling.

00:14:15.220 And surprise, the solution back then was exactly the same as the solution today, right?

00:14:19.460 Give us all your money.

00:14:20.600 Give up all your freedom.

00:14:21.600 Empower the United Nations to tax and regulate the gas of life.

00:14:24.460 And we will save you from your carbon sins.

00:14:27.300 It's absolutely ludicrous.

00:14:28.900 And, you know, the extremist rhetoric that's now coming out, I think, to me, it's just a sign of desperation.

00:14:35.720 These people realize that, you know, the majority of Americans, especially, I don't know the situation in Canada, but in the polling data here,

00:14:42.220 the majority of Americans recognize that the man-made global warming hypothesis is just not correct.

00:14:47.540 You know, you don't even have to be a scientist to do that.

00:14:49.280 One of the things we've done in the New American magazine is we took all the falsifiable predictions that we could find.

00:14:55.440 So we looked, you know, Al Gore said that the Arctic ice cap might be completely gone by the year 2013.

00:15:01.880 Well, and I watched him make that prediction.

00:15:03.580 I was in Copenhagen at the UN Climate Summit.

00:15:05.660 And, of course, 2013 came and went. 0.59

00:15:07.700 And lo and behold, not only was the Arctic ice cap still there, it was far bigger than it was when he was making his silly predictions.

00:15:14.160 So if you take all, you know, and there's tons of these.

00:15:17.120 I hope people will go read the articles.

00:15:18.480 They said, you know, the UN said that there was going to be huge numbers of climate refugees.

00:15:22.840 And they've highlighted the parts of the globe where they thought those refugees were going to come from.

00:15:26.700 Well, if you actually look at those areas, all of them, without exception, have experienced massive population growth,

00:15:33.000 far beyond the average for the rest of the world.

00:15:35.300 So the UN could not have been more wrong.

00:15:38.120 And, you know, this is a consistent track record.

00:15:40.720 Anytime they make a prediction that can be falsified, what we find is not only is it falsified,

00:15:46.380 it is completely debunked, oftentimes exactly the opposite of what they said was going to happen.

00:15:50.980 You know, and they make these predictions about places where people don't live or where you don't hear a lot from the people on the ground.

00:15:58.720 So then a vast majority or not even a vast majority, but a lot of people end up believing these lies.

00:16:04.260 And the people who live there, like the people in Churchill, Manitoba, Northern Canada, they're like, hey, you know what?

00:16:09.680 There's lots of ice.

00:16:10.840 It's the middle of June and the harbor is blocked.

00:16:13.760 But those stories don't get out because there's, you know, a couple hundred people living there and a couple million people listening to Al Gore or billion for that matter.

00:16:22.780 I wanted to talk to you about a story that you did a little while back, but not too long ago.

00:16:27.960 And you were talking about the Green New Deal and you actually interviewed someone that I'm a huge fan of, Patrick Moore, who's been under attack by the left wing media trying to debunk his own history and sort of gaslight him and the rest of us into thinking that he wasn't a part of Greenpeace.

00:16:49.660 When, I mean, you can just have to follow the Internet record to find that out.

00:16:53.840 But you did an interview with him where he said that, you know, if the United States imposed the Green New Deal as the left wing kooks would love it to be imposed, people would die.

00:17:05.020 That's exactly right.

00:17:06.260 You know, it's funny.

00:17:06.980 I did that interview with him up in your stomping grounds.

00:17:09.640 We were in Alberta, in Calgary at a conference there.

00:17:13.100 He and I both spoke there.

00:17:14.140 He about climate change, me about education.

00:17:16.260 But I've met Patrick on several occasions.

00:17:18.380 He goes to some of these U.N. global warming summits and fantastic guy.

00:17:22.200 And so I asked him, you know, it was right around the time that this Green New Deal was in the news.

00:17:26.180 So I thought, hey, you know, here's a here's a guy who's really, you know, the epitome of green.

00:17:29.480 Right. The guy is a total environmentalist and I'm an environmentalist, too.

00:17:32.560 But in a real sense, you know, in the sense that we actually do want to preserve the environment.

00:17:36.420 We don't want to fight fake boogeymen.

00:17:37.940 And we care about human beings, too.

00:17:40.060 And what he told me was amazing.

00:17:41.480 You know, he said, basically, if this Green New Deal were to be implemented as described in the policy documents that they put up on the Internet, that Alexandra, they call her occasional cortex now, the communists from New York. 0.69

00:17:54.180 If it were to be implemented as prescribed by these people, you would end up killing the vast majority of humans.

00:17:59.900 In fact, he said almost all humans would die because we wouldn't have trucks anymore.

00:18:03.900 We wouldn't have fertilizer anymore.

00:18:05.380 We wouldn't be able to get the food into the cities.

00:18:07.180 It would be a total catastrophe.

00:18:09.060 And an irony of ironies.

00:18:10.840 You know, he said his biggest concern was that if such an idea were to come about, all the trees in the world would be chopped down as well because, hey, we wouldn't have fossil fuels anymore.

00:18:19.740 So to heat our homes, to cook our food, we'd have to all go out and chop down all the forests.

00:18:23.820 And, hey, the world would would lose all its trees. 0.99

00:18:26.200 So, you know, the green agenda is really the epitome of stupidity if you believe that these people really believe this. 0.99

00:18:35.420 And I'm sure at the lower levels, you know, the activists out in the street holding the signs, they really do believe this. 0.98

00:18:40.120 But the reality is once you get, you know, behind the curtain and you find the puppet masters, our Congress, to their credit, has actually done some investigations on this.

00:18:48.680 They found out, first of all, that the Kremlin was funding a lot of this.

00:18:51.840 In fact, this came out in a House of Representatives report a couple of years ago.

00:18:55.100 They found out that the Kremlin was funding all these pseudo environmental groups in the United States to try to keep all of our energy in the ground so that, of course, they could make a bunch of money.

00:19:03.420 And then in addition to that, a couple of years before that, the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee did an investigation.

00:19:09.900 And they identified what they described as a billionaire's club.

00:19:13.360 That was their term, not mine, of, you know, fanatical billionaires who had been bankrolling the green movement.

00:19:20.120 I mean, the wealthiest of the wealthy for the purpose of enriching themselves.

00:19:24.140 And, you know, there's a lot of evidence out there showing that this is the case.

00:19:27.400 And, of course, they don't really believe this stuff that they're peddling.

00:19:29.860 They just know that it's going to empower them and enrich them.

00:19:32.540 And, of course, it will all be at our expense.

00:19:35.040 You know, isn't that the truth?

00:19:36.180 And then you have governors like Jay Inslee saying that Canada should not approve any more pipelines.

00:19:43.900 You know, for a guy who really dislikes Trump, everything I've seen about Jay Inslee, he's usually bashing Trump or he's spouting off about Russian collusion.

00:19:53.480 Well, let me tell you, there's some foreign meddling and foreign collusion right there because every time that a Canadian pipeline gets blocked, it helps the Saudis, it helps the Venezuelans, it helps the Iranians, it helps, you know, it helps Putin if we can't get our oil and gas to market.

00:20:15.560 And, you know what, frankly, you know, I love the Americans, I love President Trump, but it also protects the American market share.

00:20:22.120 And for a guy that doesn't like Trump, Jay Inslee is sure being one of his best people making his business case these days when he's blocking Canadian oil and gas from getting to market.

00:20:33.240 That's right. Jay Inslee is really out on the fringe, unfortunately.

00:20:36.520 He's a kook. 0.92

00:20:37.320 He really is. And I actually had the mispleasure of meeting one of his minions actually at the last UN climate conference that you and I both went to in Poland, in Katowice. 0.76

00:20:46.460 And he was running around giving interviews to everybody who would listen, oh, the governor, he's going to save the climate and all this kind of stuff. 0.86

00:20:53.280 Totally, totally ridiculous. But, you know, even in Washington state, people don't buy this stuff. 0.52

00:20:57.940 In fact, I work closely with a lot of legislators there and there's a lot of public unhappiness about this.

00:21:03.780 You know, the whole green agenda, you know, people don't want to pay taxes out the nose to be able to drive their car, to be able to heat their homes, to be able to fertilize their crops.

00:21:11.680 And, you know, I think the American people have now seen through it.

00:21:15.860 I know Jay Inslee's got some big ambitions. He thinks he's going to be president someday.

00:21:19.600 I'm quite confident that's not going to happen. The American people are not that dumb. 0.99

00:21:23.780 Yeah, I think he's too far left for even most Democrats. And that's, you know, that's really saying something. 0.97

00:21:29.140 I wanted to ask you, with the rise of this Greta Thunberg girl, there's a whole portion of the green movement that relies on the exploitation of children. 1.00

00:21:42.980 It puts children up front as though they're experts. And then it's we're supposed to believe children because they're apparently more sincere than people who know something about how, you know, photosynthesis happens and weather happens.

00:21:58.840 And who have a little bit of historical knowledge about how things happen and how things change.

00:22:06.000 And with Greta, she's not a well young girl, which makes the exploitation of her a lot worse.

00:22:14.400 But she seems to be, you know, a means to an end. So everybody is just happy to push her in the spotlight all the time.

00:22:23.200 That's exactly what's happening. In fact, I've lived most of the last decade in Sweden and in Sweden.

00:22:27.820 She's like a superhero. Every you know, most of the media is either owned or subsidized by the government.

00:22:32.020 And she's plastered on the front page as a superhero who's going to save the climate, who's speaking truth to power and all this.

00:22:38.440 It's so nonsensical. And, you know, I will add a caveat there. I fully support the idea of getting out of the school.

00:22:44.020 So, you know, she's going to skip school. Good. That's less brainwashing. You'll be better off.

00:22:47.900 But, you know, the adults, supposed adults who are exploiting these, you know, Greta's autistic, you know, to exploit a child with with that kind of situation

00:22:57.480 and put her on TV as if she were some kind of climate expert. It's just beyond grotesque.

00:23:02.440 You know, children should not be used as political props, especially to advocate for totalitarianism,

00:23:09.580 especially to advocate for policies that would end up killing millions of people. 0.97

00:23:14.680 You know, it's disgusting. But when you see the policies that they're trying to implement,

00:23:18.200 these are really policies that would have a tremendous adverse impact on people, especially the poorest people in the world.

00:23:23.580 We're talking about denying these people access to the energy they need to industrialize their economies,

00:23:29.240 to cook their food, to power their homes, to move their goods to market.

00:23:33.620 And these are people who are going to remain in dire poverty as a direct result of these policies.

00:23:39.120 One of my favorite climate scientists from the University of Alabama, Dr. Spencer,

00:23:44.740 he calls these people climate Nazis because these policies that they're pursuing will have the effect of killing millions of people.

00:23:51.180 And to use children as a political prop for an ideology for policies that would kill people is just so far beyond the pale

00:23:59.180 that you really wonder, what are these U.N. leaders thinking? 0.98

00:24:01.840 You know, it's bad enough for you guys to make fools of yourselves and tell us we're going to die from the gas of life. 0.93

00:24:06.580 But to bring children into this mix who don't know any better, who really, you know, 0.58

00:24:10.100 as Dr. Nils Akson-Morner, a very prominent Swedish scientist who served on the UNIPCC explained,

00:24:15.700 to bring children in this who should be out playing soccer, to get them to serve as political props,

00:24:20.480 it's just, it's disgusting, Sheila, and it needs to stop.

00:24:23.000 Well, and, you know, I mean, does this girl need more anxiety because she's being told every single day

00:24:33.860 that the world is going to end in, I think it's 11 and a half years now that you and I have left?

00:24:39.040 But speaking of children being used as political props, we're changing lanes quite a bit,

00:24:44.380 but I did see this story on the New American, a recent story by you about California's horrifying sex ed curriculum.

00:24:55.420 The first line of your story is chilling right to the bone.

00:25:00.480 It reads, over one in four California children aged 12 through 17 now identifies as gender non-conforming,

00:25:09.660 according to a recent study by the University of California, Los Angeles.

00:25:13.160 That is horrific. How did we get here?

00:25:17.800 You know, the simple answer is this is happening as a direct result of the indoctrination in the public school system.

00:25:23.180 You know, I was in elementary school, what, 20 years ago, less than 20 years ago,

00:25:27.560 and I never, on four continents, in eight countries, I never once met a boy who thought he was a girl

00:25:32.960 or a girl who thought she was a boy. It was just inconceivable.

00:25:35.820 In fact, the word transgender wasn't even in the dictionary for the first 10 years of my life.

00:25:40.100 And now suddenly, according to this survey at the University of California,

00:25:44.860 more than one in four, 27 percent of our young people in California call themselves gender non-conforming,

00:25:50.900 boys who don't accept that they're boys, girls who don't accept that they're girls.

00:25:53.920 And the reality is this number is going to continue skyrocketing,

00:25:57.000 and it's a direct result of what they're being taught in the classroom.

00:26:00.440 So the new health education framework is, you know, their Orwellian doublespeak term for their sex ed curriculum.

00:26:06.720 They start encouraging this madness in kindergarten.

00:26:09.720 They tell the little boys that they could be little girls.

00:26:12.120 And, in fact, they have one of the recommended books.

00:26:14.360 This really caused an outrage and uproar in California.

00:26:17.720 They talked about removing it now.

00:26:19.040 But it's Who Are You?, and they teach kindergarten children, the book is recommended for four- and five-year-olds,

00:26:25.220 that they can be any gender that they want, that adults have to guess what gender babies are,

00:26:29.680 because babies can't speak for themselves.

00:26:31.600 And they give a whole bunch of examples.

00:26:33.160 You could be agender, bigender, neutro, free spirit, you know, non-binary,

00:26:39.320 you know, a bunch of things that I can't even pronounce. 0.94

00:26:41.320 This is sick.

00:26:42.080 In fact, this is institutionalized child abuse, as far as I'm concerned.

00:26:45.640 And the consequences are going to be absolutely devastating.

00:26:49.520 We're only now just beginning to see where this leads.

00:26:52.560 Yeah, this feels like human experimentation on a grand scale.

00:26:56.800 And, yeah, I mean, the problem is that it's with children, children who don't know any better.

00:27:02.640 You know, I'm one of those people, you know, if you're an adult and you want to live your life however you want,

00:27:06.980 that's great.

00:27:07.500 I don't care.

00:27:08.120 Don't make me care.

00:27:08.980 Don't use the government to make me care either.

00:27:11.480 But with children, I mean, it's truly, truly evil.

00:27:16.980 And I just, you know, I just feel like we are on the cusp of a tidal wave of future suicides

00:27:25.340 and extreme mental illness.

00:27:27.100 And it started with a hysteria that didn't need to be.

00:27:31.540 That's exactly right, Sheila.

00:27:32.740 In fact, there's plenty of former transgender people who will tell you this is a monstrous lie, 1.00

00:27:38.400 you know, to tell children that you can go and have your genitals surgically mutilated 0.97

00:27:42.620 and then you can be the other gender is the height of irresponsibility. 1.00

00:27:46.200 In fact, I consider that to be criminal because it's not true. 0.91

00:27:49.140 It's an objective, blatant lie that a child can become another gender by mutilating their genitals. 0.90

00:27:55.140 It's just not true.

00:27:55.820 Every cell in your body, every strand of DNA in your body testifies to the fact that you're either male or female.

00:28:02.300 You're not non-binary. 0.99

00:28:03.660 You're not agender or free spirit or neutro. 1.00

00:28:05.880 Those things don't actually exist.

00:28:07.460 So, you know, these people like to pretend like they're pro-science.

00:28:10.000 They are as anti-science as you can get.

00:28:12.140 I mean, this is basic biological facts.

00:28:15.800 And, you know, to involve children in this is so sad.

00:28:19.980 And there's a lot of former transgender people now who are trying to sound the alarm. 0.99

00:28:23.560 You know, I had my genitals removed and it only made everything worse.

00:28:27.000 You know, what we need to be doing is helping these children.

00:28:29.700 And, you know, occasionally there are children who have some problems and they need some help.

00:28:32.660 What we don't need to be doing is encouraging them to mutilate themselves in an irreversible operation.

00:28:39.120 And, you know, you now have a school in Minnesota that's being sued, a school district in Minnesota.

00:28:43.800 A boy who claimed he was a girl asked the parents, hey, can I have a sex change surgery?

00:28:49.920 Now they call it a sex validation surgery or something like that.

00:28:53.760 And the parents said, absolutely not. 0.82

00:28:55.480 So the school district actually took this child to have his genitals surgically removed.

00:28:59.980 You know, there's a lawsuit going on about it now.

00:29:01.820 But, of course, the boy's genitals are not going to be coming back.

00:29:04.180 That ship has sailed.

00:29:05.540 And, you know, this is where we are heading as a society.

00:29:08.340 And if responsible people don't speak out, it's only going to get worse and worse and worse.

00:29:13.520 You know, you think 27 percent is bad.

00:29:15.460 Wait till it's 50 percent.

00:29:18.180 Alex, I'm virtually speechless hearing about the school that took the boy.

00:29:24.640 I want to thank you so much for taking the time today.

00:29:27.140 You're always so generous with your time with me.

00:29:29.300 I know you've had a long day.

00:29:30.280 You're on a speaking tour.

00:29:31.660 Our interview was also all over the place, but such is the world.

00:29:36.820 Hopefully we can have you back on the show.

00:29:38.940 I would love that.

00:29:39.860 Thank you so much for having me, Sheila.

00:29:41.000 I really appreciate you and what you guys are doing.

00:29:42.980 It's amazing.

00:29:44.060 So thank you once again.

00:29:45.200 And hopefully we'll talk soon.

00:29:46.700 Great.

00:29:47.180 Thanks, Alex.

00:29:48.040 Stay with us more up next after the break.

00:30:01.960 Well, everybody, welcome back.

00:30:03.500 Now, normally, normally when I fill in for the boss, I don't read the hate mail in the questions, comments, hate mail last segment of his show.

00:30:12.680 But today, yeah, I'm reading a little bit of hate mail because that hate mail came from somebody relatively important and slightly high profile.

00:30:22.080 Now, if you haven't seen Kean Bextie's bizarre encounter with MP Selena Cesar Chavanez, here's a little bit of it.

00:30:31.580 Just watch.

00:30:32.460 Are you serious?

00:30:33.260 The rebel?

00:30:33.800 You're going to come talk to me?

00:30:35.500 Why not?

00:30:35.780 I'm happy to speak with you.

00:30:39.900 I mean, the report said that there was genocide happening.

00:30:42.980 Should we prosecute world leaders who oversee genocide?

00:30:45.080 I'm going to leave you and the rebel to come up with your own dissertation about what you did.

00:30:50.380 Well, we'd love to hear a comment from you.

00:30:52.440 I'm sure you'll take it and you'll twist it in any way possible.

00:30:55.860 I'll publish the whole thing.

00:30:56.580 You have my word.

00:30:57.300 But the absolute truth.

00:30:58.200 Whatever you say, I'll publish the whole thing.

00:31:00.240 I'm sure.

00:31:01.580 I'm sure you will.

00:31:02.860 Should we prosecute world leaders if they oversee a genocide?

00:31:06.800 I think you should be looking in your own house before looking in other houses.

00:31:10.900 How about that?

00:31:11.380 I'm not committing genocide.

00:31:13.400 Do you think I'm committing genocide?

00:31:14.680 I think you do a lot of other stuff of perpetrating lies, doing whatever you want, inciting hate, inciting misinformation.

00:31:23.880 I don't think that helps at all either.

00:31:26.420 How did Justin Trudeau bring you back on board after he yelled at you?

00:31:31.200 What do you mean, he brought me back on board?

00:31:34.080 You seem quite happy with him.

00:31:36.280 Are you expecting some sort of an appointment?

00:31:37.980 Nobody brought me back on board.

00:31:39.860 You just speak with a prime minister and let him talk to you after he verbally assaults you.

00:31:45.380 I decide what I do and when I decide to do it.

00:31:49.020 And do you forgive Justin Trudeau for yelling at you?

00:31:51.860 I decide what I decide to do when I decide to do it.

00:31:55.300 And do you forgive him?

00:31:56.840 I decide what I decide to do and when I decide to do it.

00:31:59.840 Why can't you tell me if you...

00:32:01.680 We could do this all day.

00:32:03.680 But I really...

00:32:04.360 Until you get to your office.

00:32:05.780 No, we could...

00:32:07.120 You could keep going.

00:32:08.960 You could keep going.

00:32:09.360 So do you forgive him?

00:32:09.900 I just...

00:32:10.220 I really have nothing good to say to the rebel.

00:32:12.620 So I'm not sure why you're entertaining this line of questioning, but you could go ahead.

00:32:19.040 Just wondering if you forgive someone who verbally assaulted you.

00:32:22.800 Anyways, have a good night.

00:32:23.800 Thanks for chatting with me.

00:32:24.420 Are you done?

00:32:25.000 Oh, the big guy's here and you're done.

00:32:26.460 I can...

00:32:26.800 I mean, I can keep coming. 1.00

00:32:28.240 Did you just call me a pussy? 1.00

00:32:30.420 You're right, I did. 1.00

00:32:32.940 That's not a very parliamentary language of you.

00:32:35.840 Do you forgive Justin Trudeau?

00:32:37.500 And so what?

00:32:38.360 Do you forgive him? 1.00

00:32:38.880 Do you use parliamentary language in your bullshit that you put out on... 0.99

00:32:42.020 I'm a man of God. 1.00

00:32:43.680 Oh.

00:32:45.040 Good grief.

00:32:47.200 Well, hopefully the same God that you serve is the one that I serve as God.

00:32:51.200 And is that Justin Trudeau or do you forgive him?

00:32:54.000 No.

00:32:56.320 You don't forgive him?

00:32:58.880 All right, I got more people to go interview, so I'll let you go.

00:33:01.640 Cesar Chavanez didn't like that we showed her for the irrational, petty, caustic, entitled

00:33:06.640 Member of Parliament that she very clearly is.

00:33:09.540 So she responded to Kian's video on Twitter, tweeting,

00:33:13.040 When alt-right so-called news outlets use intimidation and bullying tactics like following women

00:33:19.160 and backing them into a corner to get a story, I call them what they are.

00:33:23.780 Hashtag unintimidated.

00:33:25.500 Hashtag unapologetic.

00:33:27.940 Oh, I see.

00:33:29.460 Male reporters can't ever ask a female politician a reasonable question now. 1.00

00:33:33.580 I didn't realize that female politicians can just skirt and hide from accountability 1.00

00:33:37.740 because of their gender.

00:33:39.200 And they tell me there's male privilege.

00:33:40.720 Anyway, here's what I think.

00:33:44.080 Cesar Chavanez acted irrationally and emotionally instead of just handling the questions Kian

00:33:49.720 was asking of her.

00:33:51.140 Her behavior just confirms all the bad stereotypes about women. 1.00

00:33:55.460 She's certainly not doing people like me any favors, that's for darn sure. 0.93

00:33:59.860 But even more importantly, Cesar Chavanez's bad behavior was not some sort of powerful act

00:34:06.820 of feminism against the patriarchy represented by scrappy Kian Bextie. 0.95

00:34:12.300 Oh no, on the contrary.

00:34:14.240 Cesar Chavanez has just revealed how weak she truly is when confronted with reasonable, calm

00:34:20.520 questioning.

00:34:21.860 And for that, I'm very glad the people of Whitby won't be represented by her after this October.

00:34:28.180 Now, on a much sadder note, Conservative MP Mark Warwa has just passed away after a valiant

00:34:35.720 battle against cancer.

00:34:37.680 Conservative MP for Kitchener, Harold Albrecht, honored his friend by saying,

00:34:42.580 deeply saddened by the loss of my dear friend, MP Mark Warwa, a real Canadian statesman and

00:34:49.780 a family man who lived out faith in Jesus Christ daily in word and deed, grateful for his friendship

00:34:57.080 and times of prayer with him over the last 13 years.

00:35:01.620 Our condolences go out to the Warwa family tonight in this very trying time.

00:35:07.360 Well, everybody, that's the show for tonight.

00:35:09.580 Thanks so much for tuning in as I hold the fort down for the boss.

00:35:14.220 And remember, don't let the government tell you that you've had too much to think.
