Rebel News Podcast - Coronavirus worry turns to a panic. So guess how Justin Trudeau spent his day？

00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. Today we talk about coronavirus moving from a worry to a panic. I think that's

00:00:05.340 what happened today. Add in the falling price of oil and Canada's stock market crashed more

00:00:12.020 than it has in, well, in more than 30 years. 237 Canadians got off the coronavirus cruise

00:00:19.640 ship in San Francisco. Lots of things happening today, but where was Trudeau? I'll tell you,

00:00:25.840 and I'll show you his itinerary. But before I do, let me invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel

00:00:30.760 News Plus. That's our premium service where you get the video version of this podcast too.

00:00:36.140 Just go to rebelnews.com and it's eight bucks a month, which I think is a heck of a deal.

00:00:40.800 All right, here's today's podcast.

00:00:55.840 Tonight, the coronavirus worry turns to a panic. So guess how Justin Trudeau spent his day.

00:01:04.660 It's March 9th and this is the Ezra Levant Show.

00:01:09.140 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:12.880 There's 8,500 customers here and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:16.920 The only thing I have to say to the government, the wire publisher, is because it's my bloody right to do so.

00:01:22.820 Bit of a crazy day today. I think people have been looking out of the corner of their eye

00:01:32.500 at the coronavirus situation for a few weeks now. And it hasn't hit home hard in North America.

00:01:39.640 China was first, then South Korea and Iran and Italy, which seems odd, but there it was.

00:01:46.380 And now Italy has more than 10 million people under quarantine in Italy.

00:01:50.900 And now Israel is contemplating putting literally anyone who comes in from another country, 0.98

00:01:58.540 everyone, under quarantine.

00:02:02.640 Today, a giant cruise ship that had a coronavirus outbreak has finally docked in Oakland, near San Francisco.

00:02:10.620 Virus test kits had been delivered to the ship by helicopter.

00:02:15.980 Cruise ships are close quarters, people living and eating and breathing next to each other.

00:02:21.080 The ship finally docked today and 237 Canadians are on it.

00:02:27.860 Things seem to be speeding up.

00:02:30.620 When the stock market opened today, the TSX plunged nearly 10% right away,

00:02:37.720 wiping away about a decade worth of gains.

00:02:40.700 It was the largest one-day drop since the 1980s.

00:02:45.220 I think a lot of that decline was because of the sudden drop in oil prices.

00:02:50.040 An OPEC glut.

00:02:51.760 Maybe Saudi Arabia and other oil regimes looking to put real pressure on competitors in Russia and the United States.

00:02:58.280 Maybe they're worried about the economy slowing down because of coronavirus.

00:03:02.360 Of course, that hits Canada hard, too.

00:03:04.680 We still do pump oil and export it, despite the lack of new pipelines to grow that production and export.

00:03:11.680 It's still our most valuable export commodity, our source of hard U.S. currency.

00:03:16.520 But I'm sure the coronavirus didn't help.

00:03:19.740 And the world's view that we're just not a good place to invest.

00:03:23.300 Warren Buffett is always ahead of the curve.

00:03:25.580 He announced he was getting out last week before the stock market.

00:03:28.320 So, all in all, a very dramatic morning.

00:03:32.500 Maybe because of that San Francisco cruise news today.

00:03:36.200 Canada's public safety, public health officer, excuse me, said we should all stop going on cruises.

00:03:45.000 I've asked Canadians to think twice about going on cruise ships.

00:03:49.020 Today, the Public Health Agency of Canada is recommending that Canadians avoid all cruise ship travel due to COVID-19.

00:03:56.900 Cruise ships have passengers from around the world who may be arriving from areas with known or unknown spread of the novel coronavirus.

00:04:07.000 The virus can spread quickly on board cruise ships due to the close contact between passengers.

00:04:14.240 Older people and people with a weakened immune system or underlying medical conditions are at a higher risk of developing severe disease.

00:04:25.320 I get it.

00:04:26.900 We have a Rebel News cruise scheduled for July, four months from now.

00:04:30.360 We're reaching out to the cruise company to get advice.

00:04:32.360 It's hard to proceed in the face of that health advice.

00:04:35.880 And we obviously don't want to endanger any of our Rebel passengers.

00:04:38.800 Hopefully, this health crisis will pass.

00:04:40.700 Or hopefully, we can reschedule to another date in the future.

00:04:43.260 If you're signed up for the cruise, we'll keep you posted.

00:04:46.140 Obviously, your health comes first.

00:04:47.920 And our health, too.

00:04:48.580 I don't want to get sick either, of course.

00:04:50.060 I note that while Canadians are being told not to go on cruise ships, so far, foreigners aren't being stopped from coming to Canada.

00:04:58.640 Most aren't even really being screened.

00:05:00.220 I mentioned that Iran was one of the worst places for the infection.

00:05:04.520 And even senior Iranian politicians are getting the virus.

00:05:08.860 Some are dying.

00:05:09.420 But still, as our David Menzies reported the other day, people are flying in from Iran all the time.

00:05:15.540 Did you catch this?

00:05:16.360 I've been tipped off by the two gentlemen behind me, Nasser Pouli and Sean Zada, that many of the people on this flight are from the number two hotspot in the world for the coronavirus.

00:05:31.500 That would be Iran. 0.99

00:05:33.700 And you know what, folks?

00:05:35.400 It's worse than you think.

00:05:36.600 You are coming from Tehran right now.

00:05:38.540 Am I correct?

00:05:40.080 And you were in Tehran for three weeks, you told me.

00:05:43.140 And you just came to Toronto Airport, they just checked you with the machine or whatever that they checked you off.

00:05:52.580 And they have not asked you that.

00:05:54.260 In Qatar, they checked us.

00:05:56.520 Okay.

00:05:57.020 You came to Dehab, Zatar. 0.98

00:06:00.600 Yeah.

00:06:01.240 You came to Dehab from Tehran.

00:06:03.380 And from Tehran, you came to England.

00:06:05.480 In Tehran, they checked us.

00:06:07.420 Okay.

00:06:08.000 In Qatar, they checked us.

00:06:10.140 Okay.

00:06:10.980 And here, no check us.

00:06:13.940 No screening.

00:06:15.520 That's real reporting from David Manzi's real questions, real concerns.

00:06:19.440 But you're not allowed to ask about Canada's response.

00:06:22.700 A few days ago, I pointed out that even China, the source of the virus, was worried about flights from Iran.

00:06:31.220 Evacuating their people from Iran, but Canada not yet. 0.82

00:06:34.760 And rushing to Trudeau's political aid, responding to my tweet, was the Globe and Mail's Mark McKinnon, who wrote this in reply to me.

00:06:41.880 He said,

00:06:42.340 There are no direct flights between Iran and Canada, which is why so many Canadians were on board Ukrainian Airlines Flight 752.

00:06:49.640 But carry on.

00:06:50.660 I will carry on, Mark.

00:06:54.280 I'm not sure exactly why it's relevant that people have a quick stopover from Tehran on their way to Canada.

00:07:01.820 How does that stop the virus?

00:07:04.220 How does that rebut my point?

00:07:05.740 I'm not sure of the point, other than Canada's media party is exceedingly protective of their paymaster, Justin Trudeau.

00:07:14.300 And it shows in weird ways.

00:07:16.500 Like I say, today started with a plunging stock market in Canada and in the United States, too.

00:07:22.340 So if you're a Canadian professor or pundit, you could talk about the result that affects your own country, your own pension plan.

00:07:29.900 You could.

00:07:30.940 Or you could attack Trump.

00:07:35.020 Like this professor, Paul Ferry.

00:07:37.060 And I'm not really picking on him, but this is what I mean.

00:07:40.660 He quoted a tweet from Donald Trump a couple months ago, boasting about how well the stock market was doing then.

00:07:45.820 Do you see that at the bottom there?

00:07:46.820 And then he wrote himself,

00:07:48.540 Sir, can we get an update on this?

00:07:50.200 I'm curious to find out more.

00:07:52.340 I mean, that's funny, I guess.

00:07:54.940 I mean, the stock market plunging isn't funny for anyone whose pension funds are invested in them,

00:07:59.500 which actually would include that professor.

00:08:02.520 But professors have a job for life.

00:08:06.060 But anything to tweak Trump, orange man, bad.

00:08:09.420 But again, I'm not picking on this guy, Paul Ferry.

00:08:11.760 I sort of like him.

00:08:12.640 It was just the first example I came across.

00:08:15.520 He's a Canadian professor.

00:08:17.000 So why is he grilling Trump instead of Trudeau about our plunging stock market?

00:08:23.040 Trump is actually ahead of Trudeau in every respect on the coronavirus.

00:08:26.840 He raised the alarm much earlier.

00:08:28.460 He spent money much earlier.

00:08:30.000 He had press conferences with public officers of health much earlier.

00:08:33.760 He brought in quarantines earlier.

00:08:35.180 Even the Cruz thing, he was ahead of Trudeau.

00:08:37.500 He's ahead of Canada by days or weeks, and in some cases by months, depending on what action.

00:08:41.240 I should remind you that when the first cases of coronavirus arrived in Ontario,

00:08:45.520 it was the Ontario provincial government that had an emergency weekend press conference.

00:08:51.220 Doug Ford's people, Trudeau and his people were AWOL.

00:08:54.460 Trudeau's still sporting that vacation beard.

00:08:58.100 He's still on vacation, though.

00:08:59.960 So why is the instinct in Canada's commentary class to mock Trump, but not to mock Trudeau?

00:09:09.000 Yesterday, when it was announced that the 237 Canadians on that cruise ship would land in Oakland,

00:09:17.420 Trudeau wasn't working.

00:09:18.720 Do you see that there?

00:09:19.420 It says personal.

00:09:20.900 He took the whole day off just for fun.

00:09:22.740 When does the prime minister of a G7 country ever take a day off for fun,

00:09:28.060 let alone in the middle of a crisis or several crises?

00:09:30.700 But today's itinerary, on the day of the stock market crash, on the day of the virus,

00:09:35.360 on the day the oil price tumbles, which will affect taxes and royalties and balances of trade,

00:09:40.220 Trudeau is spending it doing feminist photo ops. 1.00

00:09:43.140 I'm not kidding.

00:09:43.620 Let me read from his itinerary today.

00:09:46.960 Their prime minister will participate in an armchair discussion with representatives of CEO ventures.

00:09:52.000 Get it?

00:09:53.100 Minister of Small Business Export Promotion and International Trade, Mary Ng, will be in attendance.

00:09:56.800 Oh, good.

00:09:57.400 Oh, good.

00:09:58.740 Then at 1115, busy day, the prime minister will participate in a roundtable with representatives of CEO ventures.

00:10:05.820 Minister of Small Business Export Promotion and International Trade, Mary Ng, will be in attendance there, too.

00:10:10.720 And then he flies to Ottawa for what?

00:10:12.760 The prime minister will participate in an after-school STEM, that's science, technology, engineering, math workshop, for girls, hosted by Actua.

00:10:22.360 So busy day.

00:10:24.200 I mean, he's logging five hours today.

00:10:25.940 Three photo ops in five hours.

00:10:28.460 That's a pretty good clip.

00:10:29.280 All to prove how feminist our male feminist, super feminist is, because I guess that's the most important thing going on in the country right now, isn't it?

00:10:38.700 I'm sure it's important to have girls in math, but maybe that's not actually the constitutional responsibility of the prime minister in the midst of one, two, three crises.

00:10:47.620 Look, I don't know what the whole answer is to coronavirus.

00:10:51.940 Here's something Trump tweeted this morning.

00:10:54.660 He said, so last year, 37,000 Americans died from the common flu.

00:10:58.420 It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year.

00:11:01.800 Nothing is shut down.

00:11:02.700 Life and the economy go on.

00:11:04.160 At this moment, there are 546 confirmed cases of coronavirus with 22 deaths.

00:11:08.560 Think about that.

00:11:09.900 Okay, I will think about that, but I want to know if coronavirus is going to be worse and how much worse

00:11:15.400 and what we're doing about it as a country, as an individual.

00:11:19.280 What should I do about it?

00:11:20.160 I don't have those answers yet.

00:11:21.640 And viruses don't respond to political weapons.

00:11:24.220 Tweets, polls, campaign speeches, they're objective.

00:11:27.260 They're inanimate.

00:11:28.200 They don't care about human politics.

00:11:31.920 The great disgrace to the World Health Organization, which ought to be leading the fight but has been co-opted and corrupted by China, 1.00

00:11:37.860 is that instead of fighting the flu, they're engaging in politics.

00:11:42.080 Look at this.

00:11:42.920 They're talking about ethnicity.

00:11:45.400 They're telling people what to call the flu.

00:11:47.160 They don't want it called the Wuhan flu or the Chinese virus.

00:11:51.700 They say that's racist, even though it did, in fact, come from China.

00:11:56.280 I mean, German measles, Spanish flu, we say those things.

00:11:59.380 They're all named after the place they came from.

00:12:01.540 But you're racist if you call it Wuhan flu or China flu, even though that's where it's from.

00:12:06.400 Look, I understand why China's propaganda males are focusing on that to distract,

00:12:11.140 but the World Health Organization has discredited itself.

00:12:13.880 So I'm not much interested in politics, but I'd like to see my country's leader at least pretend to be on the job

00:12:20.800 and at least try to stay ahead of things instead of just taking the Chinese line.

00:12:25.560 There's nothing to worry about, so stop being so racist.

00:12:28.940 I think we'll get through it.

00:12:29.960 I hope so.

00:12:30.580 For myself, for my family and friends, our company, our viewers, our country, for the world,

00:12:34.800 I'd like a normal life, not a life of quarantine like Italy.

00:12:37.740 Or the life of bizarre martial law, like we see leaking out of China.

00:12:44.280 What are they spraying there, by the way?

00:12:47.920 What is that?

00:12:49.400 And what's the point of spraying the street, by the way, when it's people who have the virus?

00:12:55.540 That's very, very strange, isn't it?

00:12:58.640 I hope we'll get through.

00:13:02.300 I think we'll get through it.

00:13:03.880 I hope it's not as bad as our own imaginations or what Hollywood has told us an epidemic would look like.

00:13:09.240 But I'm pretty sure if we get through it, it won't be because of anything that our vacationing photo op prime minister does.

00:13:15.700 Stay with us for more.

00:13:16.660 Welcome back.

00:13:29.800 Well, things seem to be getting serious for coronavirus.

00:13:34.140 237 Canadians disembarking a cruise ship in Oakland, California, headed for Trenton.

00:13:39.940 The military base there, well, they will be quarantined.

00:13:42.780 And Canada's public health officer has strongly recommended that people no longer go on cruises.

00:13:50.280 And yet we haven't stopped flights coming in from countries like Iran or China.

00:13:57.340 Last time I was at the airport, they simply ask you if you've been in Wuhan and not other places, actually.

00:14:04.380 I don't know what steps are being taken.

00:14:06.240 I don't know what steps should be taken.

00:14:08.420 As always, Canada lags behind the United States.

00:14:11.560 Perhaps this whole thing is overblown.

00:14:14.800 Perhaps it's just social media with its endless cycles getting way ahead of itself.

00:14:19.960 I mean, Twitter certainly manages to magnify things.

00:14:24.060 Perhaps it's a panic.

00:14:25.560 Or perhaps it's real.

00:14:27.080 We don't quite know and we might not know till it's over.

00:14:29.960 But one thing we do know right now is that coronavirus, a virus that kills people, is being hailed as an ally of the environmental movement and a punishment for evil mankind that's not doing our bit to fight global warming as if this virus was in any way linked to it.

00:14:53.640 I see that former United Nations UN climate chief, Christina Figueres, says that not only will the virus cull people, but it'll mean less trade, less travel, less commerce, less emissions.

00:15:07.220 And in the prestigious Times of London newspaper, there's a headline written by Ed Conway, coronavirus can trigger a new industrial revolution.

00:15:18.240 The disease could be the shock we need to harness new technology and new ways of working.

00:15:24.440 The environmentalist left loves this virus.

00:15:29.700 And joining us now via Skype from his home studio is our friend Mark Moreno, the CEO of Climate Depot, where I first saw the story about the UN climate chief.

00:15:39.960 Mark, great to see you again.

00:15:41.240 I've seen even crazier things on Twitter.

00:15:44.400 These are just respectable, reputable people saying this.

00:15:48.520 On Twitter, people are downright cheering the virus as a way of thinning the herd of people.

00:15:54.440 Well, think about it.

00:15:55.940 If you're part of the environmental left and the activist that started in the 1960s with Paul Ehrlich's overpopulation bomb, he wanted to put in sterilization agents in the water to affect the masses so that they couldn't reproduce.

00:16:10.640 You have people like Hans Schulenhuber, by the way, who appears in my sequel, Climate Hustle 2, coming out, an exclusive interview.

00:16:17.620 He wanted a CO2 footprint for every man, woman and child on the planet.

00:16:21.100 And he also said the carrying capacity of the Earth is roughly 1 billion people.

00:16:26.320 Now, this is a top UN advisor, the EU advisor, German climate advisor, saying that basically we should eliminate 6 to 7 billion people that they're hurting the Earth.

00:16:36.060 So it's no surprise now that when the coronavirus is hitting, you have, again, like you said, respectable, and I use quotes because they're respectable by the mainstream media.

00:16:47.040 We have Christina Figueres, as you mentioned. 0.98

00:16:49.420 We have an astrophysicist writing on his blog that essentially he's celebrating the benefits of coronavirus, and he calls it, quote, fantastic to the environment.

00:17:00.660 We have The Week magazine, which is a mainstream media publication, openly talking about the coronavirus is positive for the environment and that this is going to be a significant reduction in our carbon footprint.

00:17:16.000 So these are people that are looking at the coronavirus as a wonderful thing that's an opportunity.

00:17:21.660 And they're actually, in many cases, jealous, Ezra.

00:17:24.920 They're jealous that climate activists couldn't mobilize this kind of reaction.

00:17:29.680 They're jealous of the virus.

00:17:31.260 Yeah.

00:17:31.560 You know, you and I have discussed in the past how it's simply junk science when climate extremists say there's more tornadoes, there's more hurricanes because of global warming.

00:17:42.800 It's statistically false.

00:17:44.300 It's probably unprovable in any event, but there just simply has been less of those extreme climate events.

00:17:52.020 But at least there was some nexus between weather and weather.

00:17:57.480 I mean, you can understand how someone could theoretically say because of the climate, there is a climate anomaly.

00:18:04.720 But for them to link a virus to global warming, there's not even a scientific basis for that.

00:18:14.000 There's not even, it's not even a thing.

00:18:16.300 I think it reveals not the world, but them.

00:18:20.120 I don't think we learn anything about the world when Christina Fregueres says, and I'm quoting from your website here,

00:18:27.440 if we continue to deny, delude, and delay on climate change, there'll be more coronavirus outbreaks.

00:18:33.580 That's the former chief of the UN's global warming directorate.

00:18:38.680 There's no science there.

00:18:40.720 No, there's not.

00:18:41.740 In fact, there never has been.

00:18:42.800 This shows that there never has been.

00:18:44.560 It's a hatred for people.

00:18:47.080 No, and what it shows is that the climate activists, the UN and others, are willing to just say, hey, if it's bad, global warming is going to cause more of it.

00:18:56.740 You know, they're not going to mention, first of all, any potential benefits, even if you buy the science of CO2 driving climate, which you shouldn't.

00:19:02.960 But even if you accept it, they're not going to ever highlight the greening of the earth, the desert shrinking, great for plants, animals, food production.

00:19:11.500 They're just never going to mention that.

00:19:13.400 But what they are is if it's bad, it's climate.

00:19:16.320 And so you're right.

00:19:16.840 Christina Fregueres, Ezra, went off on this rant, and she mentioned dengue fever, malaria.

00:19:21.460 And here's the problem.

00:19:23.320 The climate science community – again, I'm using a lot of quotes here today – the climate science community has predicted more malaria, less malaria, more dengue fever, less dengue fever, and a whole host of issues.

00:19:35.140 So, by the way, no matter what happens, they're right.

00:19:37.020 That's number one.

00:19:37.860 But number two is they don't even know themselves.

00:19:40.200 Because especially with something like corona, if the world were to actually warm up right now, they're saying in warmer tropics, there's not even any outbreak.

00:19:48.100 We don't even know – like the southern hemisphere doesn't have any outbreak.

00:19:51.420 Warm weather is not friendly to these types of viruses.

00:19:55.880 And that's the thing.

00:19:56.780 But, again, they don't really care about that.

00:19:58.980 They're just trying to scare you.

00:20:00.380 They're trying to sell you on their solution.

00:20:04.020 And that's ultimately – when you learn that fact, then that's the key line.

00:20:07.580 They are trying to sell you a solution like a salesman would.

00:20:10.500 Then all the science claims and all the other solution claims all fall into place.

00:20:14.840 You realize this is just one big sales pitch, and the salesman's willing to say and do anything to get the sale.

00:20:21.400 Yeah, I just want to read a little bit from this Times article.

00:20:23.900 It just shows you what they're thinking.

00:20:26.640 This is from Ed Conway.

00:20:27.740 He says,

00:20:28.140 He is erotic about this.

00:20:53.320 He is – these are all the things that – I mean, you say, oh, I'm not saying this, but let me just say it and pretend someone else is saying it.

00:21:01.160 That's his lead sentence in the Times.

00:21:03.280 These guys are excited.

00:21:06.540 They are.

00:21:07.500 Again, it reduces population.

00:21:09.440 It lowers carbon footprint.

00:21:11.120 It reduces travel.

00:21:12.400 And here's the key thing.

00:21:13.960 It increases government intrusion.

00:21:16.220 I mean, imagine this.

00:21:17.880 Quarantines.

00:21:18.780 Shutting down of industries.

00:21:20.620 Keeping kids home from school.

00:21:22.500 Shutting an entire sporting events down.

00:21:26.140 They're looking at a complete – essentially a dictatorial-style response to this in many governments.

00:21:32.300 Now, I happen to believe this is – again, if you – there's a lot of serious people looking at this,

00:21:37.660 and people like Michael Fomento actually has a great column in the New York Post on the coronavirus.

00:21:42.220 But I think, as Roosevelt said at the beginning of World War II for FDR, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

00:21:48.740 So the greatest threat we face is the government and media counterreaction to this virus.

00:21:54.660 But it's really a chilling effect, and it should be eye-opener to anyone willing to investigate what the climate activists,

00:22:01.940 what the media, what the UN officials have to say about this.

00:22:06.020 And they are just drooling at the prospect of this government expansion,

00:22:10.920 the government power that's going to happen because of coronavirus fears, and they want to apply that.

00:22:16.560 They want those powers for climate, and they want the public to get used to this way of living.

00:22:21.460 They want the public to get used to the travel restrictions, to get used to quarantine, to get used to –

00:22:27.380 you know, the UK power chief said, get used to electricity only when it's available.

00:22:31.540 They want people to get used to living the life they want only when it's government-approved and okayed by your health official, etc.

00:22:39.500 So this is the vision.

00:22:41.380 Living under a quarantined viral virus hysteria is how the climate activists envision the future living under a climate emergency hysteria.

00:22:52.600 So it's a real eye-opener.

00:22:54.200 If you like life under coronavirus fears and government action, then you'll love life under the climate agenda.

00:23:01.000 Yeah, you know, on the one hand, I recall the Y2K panic that didn't come through and various other panics along the way.

00:23:10.900 On the other hand, I see what's happening in China, I think, but I actually don't know what's happening in China.

00:23:17.300 I see videotapes mainly of government brutality, not actually of the health situation.

00:23:24.060 I think part of the problem is we don't know what the real facts are.

00:23:28.060 I find it odd that Italy has put more than 10 million people under quarantine because Italy has a pretty free press and a fairly liberal democracy.

00:23:39.960 I don't know what to make of that. 0.71

00:23:43.280 I mean, on the one hand, I don't want to be foolish.

00:23:47.420 I remember when we interviewed a climate, a statistical hydrologist about the likelihood of once-in-a-century floods and how it makes sense to have insurance and how, you know, it makes sense to spend some money on an unlikely outcome.

00:24:09.800 You know, his advice was just have an M-16 and a bucket full of bullets in your attic.

00:24:15.000 That's probably enough.

00:24:16.020 But how perhaps you want to have some food anyway stored away.

00:24:19.700 Like he was making the statistical case for being a prepper.

00:24:24.000 That's sort of a different approach than give all the power to the government.

00:24:28.420 It's sort of the opposite approach.

00:24:29.600 It's prepare for anarchy.

00:24:31.120 I feel like I'm somewhere in between.

00:24:32.820 I don't want to be reckless.

00:24:34.620 Maybe I should make some prudent adjustments to my life.

00:24:37.420 But I certainly don't want to hand things over to the government or these climate opportunists.

00:24:42.280 Last word to you, Mark.

00:24:43.260 I'm trying to figure things out here.

00:24:45.540 I don't want to be blind to the facts, but I don't know what facts to believe.

00:24:50.640 Well, you know, exactly.

00:24:53.660 And I think they're still sorting all that out.

00:24:55.340 It's hard when a virus started in China and, you know, they have a poor health care system to begin with, poor statistical reporting.

00:25:02.660 So I think what's happened here is as this virus unfolds the next few weeks, we will get a very clear picture.

00:25:09.300 And I think it's always sensible to do the normal things like washing your hands and, you know, avoiding contact with someone who has it.

00:25:16.360 But I think ultimately government cannot stop the virus.

00:25:19.500 They might be able to slow it a little, but I think coronavirus is here, same way SARS is here and the swine flu, all the previous viral scares that we've had.

00:25:28.120 The question remains you have to let it play out and see how bad it's going to be.

00:25:31.980 But I think the larger issue again here, and at one point I wanted to make, Ezra, is them talking about the economic slowdown and how good that's going to be for the climate from coronavirus, the economic slowdown and the emissions.

00:25:44.960 It goes back to the climate activists, and these are all the U.N. conferences.

00:25:49.020 These are the climate activists like Kevin Anderson and other degrowth activists in the climate community. 0.98

00:25:56.180 And they actually call for planned recessions to fight global warming.

00:25:59.640 Well, this is the answer to them.

00:26:01.060 They've been calling for this for years, and it's in my movie, Climate Hustle 2.

00:26:04.760 They actually go through and we talk about the whole degrowth movement.

00:26:07.600 Well, what is the coronavirus reaction but a planned recession and a degrowth movement?

00:26:12.940 What is the Green New Deal but a planned recession?

00:26:15.500 So this is one of the greatest things to fall into the laps of the climate activists in a long time because they're getting people used to the idea of government essentially shutting down the economy when faced with an emergency.

00:26:29.540 And in this case, it's viral, but in the case of the activists, they want us to believe in the climate emergency, and they are just lusting for the powers, the strings that can manipulate the government powers to enforce this climate emergency reaction upon the public.

00:26:45.520 So watch closely how this is handled.

00:26:48.100 I think you're right.

00:26:48.720 We don't have all the facts about the virus yet, but one thing we do know with perfect certainty is that the global warming activists are using it as an opportunity.

00:26:56.140 I can – it's only a matter of time before St. Greta starts blessing us to rid us of this evil.

00:27:04.500 I'm sure that's just moments away.

00:27:05.720 Mark Morano, boss of Climate Depot, great to see you as always.

00:27:09.440 Thank you, Ezra.

00:27:10.340 And by the way, the website is climatehustle2.com, the movie coming out April 21st.

00:27:15.060 And is that number two or T-W-O?

00:27:18.700 Either one, actually.

00:27:19.700 And we actually put T-O-O, and you can spell two any way you want and you'll get it.

00:27:24.620 Climatehustle2.com.

00:27:26.140 All right.

00:27:26.620 Well, we'll put that website on the screen.

00:27:29.760 And I know I bumped into you briefly the other day.

00:27:32.840 And as I told you before, we're happy to help promote Climate Hustle 2 up here in Canada.

00:27:39.700 Canada has more extreme climate activists proportionately than America because we have them embedded right in our cabinet.

00:27:47.640 So we'll stay in touch with you on that, my friend.

00:27:50.260 All right.

00:27:50.660 Thanks a lot, Ezra.

00:27:51.360 Appreciate it.

00:27:51.920 All right.

00:27:52.380 There you have it.

00:27:53.060 Mark Morano with ClimateDepot.com and ClimateHustle2.com.

00:27:58.440 Stay with us.

00:27:59.140 More ahead.

00:27:59.580 Hey, welcome back.

00:28:09.680 On my monologue Friday about the police announcing they will not investigate train derailments and CBC slanted coverage of the story.

00:28:15.640 Paul writes, this will escalate because these Tides terrorists know they won't face any consequences.

00:28:21.700 Eventually, there will be death.

00:28:22.880 This is on their hands.

00:28:23.980 It could be.

00:28:27.360 I think that there's a lot of hands making this disaster.

00:28:33.340 I think the Tides Foundation has absolutely funded radical and extremist groups.

00:28:38.060 I think that the media has not scrutinized them effectively and has turned a blind eye to their misconduct because they support them.

00:28:47.240 I think Justin Trudeau and his senior staff are in league with them.

00:28:51.580 We know that.

00:28:52.220 Gerald Butts was once the head of the World Wildlife Foundation in Canada.

00:28:56.720 So many senior staff are.

00:28:59.180 At the end of the day, police, though, are supposed to be different.

00:29:04.240 And if the police refuse to arrest, I think the direct blame would fall on them.

00:29:12.600 That's my thoughts.

00:29:13.460 What are yours?

00:29:13.820 Chris writes, the real scary part is these tree huggers want to derail a train not knowing what it is carrying.

00:29:21.420 Yeah, well, I mean, listen.

00:29:22.500 What, do you think they're actually environmentalists?

00:29:24.280 They're just anarchists.

00:29:25.480 They're paid to protest or they're protesting for a shakedown.

00:29:29.020 They don't actually care about the environment.

00:29:31.540 Peter writes, when a news agency is cherry picking its reporting based on political affiliation,

00:29:36.620 they become nothing more than propaganda.

00:29:38.240 Mainstream free press in Canada is a joke.

00:29:40.340 I think that every media has their bias.

00:29:44.940 We certainly have ours.

00:29:46.320 But when you literally take cash from the central news figure in the country, Justin Trudeau,

00:29:52.320 everything you report on is tainted.

00:29:54.900 We may have some affection for conservative politicians, the conservative view on things.

00:29:59.680 But if we literally were taking $600 million from someone, which the newspapers are taking

00:30:05.020 from Trudeau, or $1.5 billion from someone, which is the CBC taking from Trudeau, how can

00:30:10.120 you possibly report on the person paying you?

00:30:12.520 Objectively, you can't.

00:30:14.420 Well, that's our show for today.

00:30:16.060 Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, good night and keep

00:30:20.520 fighting for free.

00:30:21.240 We'll see you next time.

00:30:35.680 We'll see you next time.
