00:01:07.300 Tonight, a feature interview with Danielle Smith, the Premier of Alberta.

00:01:26.920 What does she really think about Mark Carney?

00:01:29.380 Hey, it's June 6th, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.

00:01:32.140 You're fighting for freedom!

00:01:35.260 Shame on you, you censorious bug! 0.88

00:01:38.540 Oh, hi, everybody. 0.87

00:01:48.980 June 6th means D-Day.

00:01:51.280 June 6th, 1944, the day of the largest invasion in history

00:01:56.080 when the combined Allied forces went across the English Channel

00:02:00.400 to the beaches of Normandy and began the final phase of the Second World War,

00:02:05.520 liberating France and closing in on Germany while the Red Armies came from the east.

00:02:10.560 It was an amazing day for Canada, where we were in the first rank,

00:02:14.320 Juneau Beach, along with Utah and Omaha and SORD and our allies in the UK and the United States.

00:02:20.320 I think too many people have forgotten about that.

00:02:22.740 That was Canada at its finest hour, not the Canada that we see today.

00:02:28.420 A Canada embarrassed of itself, a Canada that denounces itself as genocidal,

00:02:33.160 a Canada that waters down itself by bringing in people who hate our own country.

00:02:38.080 I was not around in 1944, though I was born closer to 1944 than I was born to today.

00:02:44.900 That's how old I am, but in some ways I prefer that Canada to the one we have today.

00:02:51.300 Our feature interview today is a sit-down with Premier Danielle Smith of Alberta.

00:02:57.360 Very interesting things are cooking.

00:02:58.900 She has had several meetings with Mark Carney, and I don't trust Carney as far as I can throw him.

00:03:04.580 For the last decade, he's been the head of something called GFANS,

00:03:07.440 the Global Financial Alliance for Net Zero.

00:03:10.300 Let me translate into plain English.

00:03:12.320 He wants to shut down the oil sands.

00:03:14.120 I shouldn't say he wants to shut down all oil, because, of course, when he led Brookfield,

00:03:18.840 he invested trillions of dollars.

00:03:21.660 They have a trillion dollars under management, including in competitors to Canada's oil sands.

00:03:27.400 I don't know if he's able to make the switch to someone who's supposed to work for Canadians now,

00:03:31.860 not just his shareholders.

00:03:33.100 We'll have that.

00:03:34.080 And then after that, I have some news from Bill C2.

00:03:38.300 I made a focus video today.

00:03:40.540 You saw my long video yesterday about the perils of C2.

00:03:44.420 I have a new one to show you where I really focus on cash.

00:03:47.880 So without further ado, here's my interview earlier today with Premier Smith.

00:03:52.320 Well, we love to check in with the Premier of Alberta, the most consequential province in so many ways.

00:04:06.260 My former homeland.

00:04:08.920 And I say homeland with a little bit of tongue in cheek.

00:04:12.660 But joining us now to talk about the possibility of a different future for Alberta is Premier Danielle Smith.

00:04:19.400 So, Premier, welcome back to the show.

00:04:20.620 Great to see you.

00:04:21.620 Good to see you, Ezra.

00:04:22.780 Well, I tell you, the whole country, if they're not focused on it now, they certainly will be soon.

00:04:29.260 You have announced that Alberta will permit a referendum on independence.

00:04:34.520 Tell me how that's going.

00:04:35.720 Is that still on?

00:04:37.160 When will the legislation and regulations be in place?

00:04:39.960 Well, as you know, I mean, part of the United Conservative culture has been to support direct democracy mechanisms.

00:04:48.600 And so my predecessor brought in a policy around citizen initiative and recall.

00:04:53.080 And what we learned with a few years of testing it out is that the bars were very high, actually so high as to be unachievable in the number of signatures you had to get.

00:05:03.520 So we had, over the last year, done a consultation.

00:05:06.200 We're aligned a little bit more now with the way they do it in California.

00:05:09.000 You know, California has five to ten propositions, almost every vote.

00:05:12.980 And so we'll be allowing for 10% of the previous voter turnout.

00:05:17.420 If people can get, which turns out to be 177,000 signatures on an issue, they can put that to the people in a referendum.

00:05:24.020 So I noticed that when it came out, there were a couple of questions that have already been filed with the Elections Alberta.

00:05:32.080 One, let's be a strong Alberta within the United Canada, put forward by the former Deputy Premier Thomas Lukasik, and the other one looking at independence.

00:05:42.620 So I'm going to watch that process, see how it plays out, see how many signatures get gathered.

00:05:47.120 And then if the bar was reached, we'll put it to the people for a vote.

00:05:50.920 Wow.

00:05:51.420 You know, Canada has had occasional referendums in the past, whether it's the Charlottetown Accord or Quebec independence.

00:05:58.440 It is a Canadian thing.

00:05:59.860 It's just not that often used.

00:06:01.680 To me, the value of it, whether someone wants separation or to stay in Canada, is it's an or else when the Premier of Alberta talks to the Prime Minister of Canada.

00:06:12.880 It's a way of getting the attention of the Laurentian elites who normally don't care.

00:06:18.320 How has this issue animated or informed your discussions with the new Prime Minister, Mark Carney?

00:06:25.500 Has he raised the subject?

00:06:27.460 Does it look like he's worried about Western independence?

00:06:31.680 Even if you're a staunch nationalist Canadian, having that in your pocket may help a negotiation.

00:06:40.540 Well, I look at the numbers as very concerning, and I take them seriously.

00:06:45.540 Some of the polls have shown the sentiments as high as 37%, and that's the highest I've ever seen it.

00:06:51.200 I've been watching it for some time.

00:06:53.320 The sentiment has ebbed and flowed over the years.

00:06:56.260 I mean, you'll recall there was a separatist who was elected in 1982, Gordon Kessler.

00:07:00.880 I think Western Standard, when you were leading it, did some polling on this, and the sentiment was high again during the final years of Jean Chrétien.

00:07:10.420 And so we see it now at a very high ebb once again, and we should take it seriously because it goes to a deep frustration that Albertans have the past 10 years of liberal government standing in the way of their aspirations, their wealth creation, their ability to get products to market, and a whole variety of interventions in provincial jurisdictions.

00:07:32.140 So I'm hopeful that this new prime minister realizes they have to change course.

00:07:37.860 I mean, I think he does.

00:07:39.140 He got rid of the carbon tax within minutes of becoming prime minister, so I think that he realized that that was just deadly to his political fortunes.

00:07:46.880 And so I think that it's our job to let him understand that there are nine other bad laws that need to be repealed or substantially revised in order to address the foundational problems that Alberta has in getting its resources developed into market.

00:08:01.940 So that's the conversation I'm starting on with the prime minister, and we'll see in a matter of weeks and months if we're successful.

00:08:07.840 How was his first one-to-one with you on with these demands in the background?

00:08:13.640 Did he move at all or did he use that foggy, opaque language?

00:08:18.760 I observe that he is the master of saying very little, and I guess that's a talent as a politician, but if you're in a hurry like Alberta is, it's not satisfying.

00:08:30.800 Did you get anything from the prime minister that you could regard as tangible?

00:08:35.140 He wants to have a particular project list, a national project list, and I think it's up to us now to get the proponent and the project, get it on the list and try the process out.

00:08:49.000 He wants to have a two-year timeline to approval, which is a fast track over the existing laws, and then my understanding is he wants to have a parallel conversation about how to modify the laws that are preventing big projects from getting built.

00:09:03.080 So if that's the intention that he has going in, I'm prepared to walk the path with him, but we'll know pretty soon because we'll put a project together, very likely with a terminus point of a bitumen pipeline somewhere on the northwest BC coast, very likely Port-au-Prince Rupert, and we'll see what kind of reception that gets and whether it's going to be on the list and be fast-tracked.

00:09:25.400 Because it clearly would be a project in the national interest.

00:09:28.560 In fact, I don't think that there would be any project that would generate as substantial amount of revenue for not only our province, but also for the country as a million barrel per day pipeline that would take our product to new markets in Asia, particularly Japan and Korea and others.

00:09:43.860 It just seems to me to be such a no-brainer.

00:09:46.480 But we've got a little bit of work to do on our end, and then we'll see how the federal government responds.

00:09:50.900 I want to be good faith in my approach to the new prime minister.

00:09:54.140 Obviously, I'm a partisan opponent of him, and I'm a skeptic.

00:09:57.160 But if he actually is taking steps toward Alberta, I don't want to ignore that.

00:10:02.100 What's on my mind, though, Premier, is that so many of the people around Mark Carney are the Trudeau crew, and not just any of them.

00:10:09.980 And Gerald Butts, for example, who was the architect of—in fact, before he worked for Trudeau, he worked for anti-oil lobby groups.

00:10:18.040 He's at the Eurasia Group, which was, you know, where Mark Carney's wife works, where Evan Solomon, the new cabinet minister, works.

00:10:26.300 So I feel like you've got a new front man, but a lot of the people behind him are the same.

00:10:32.160 Stephen Gilboa is still in cabinet, et cetera.

00:10:34.700 Are the men behind the man, the people behind Mark Carney, what are they like to deal with?

00:10:44.260 Can you trust that there is movement, or is it the same old crew?

00:10:48.420 The thing about liberals, which I think we, on the conservative side of the spectrum, find frustrating, is how they can pivot 180 degrees on every issue.

00:10:57.640 I think the one thing that they feel is the existential threat of defeat, and they felt that.

00:11:04.400 We were talking six months ago about the potential for a complete wipeout of the liberals, and this may go down as one of the biggest pivots in political history,

00:11:14.520 but I think that there's a recognition that the pathway of the Stephen Giebos and the Gerald Buttses of the world not only led to an affordability crisis, but also led to an electoral crisis.

00:11:24.600 And so the question that they have to ask themselves is, can they tinker around the edges and get away with it?

00:11:31.060 I don't think so.

00:11:32.060 I think the election results were the way they were because they stole all of the conservative's platform, and the conservative's platform was very much energy superpower, being an economic superpower in the world on all fronts, getting new markets.

00:11:48.420 Like, this was the conservative talking points, and I think that the liberals should be mindful.

00:11:54.060 That's what they got elected on, and now they have to deliver.

00:11:56.500 And if they don't, Canadians gave them a mandate that's got a little asterisk on it, right?

00:12:04.100 They didn't give them a full mandate of a majority government, so if they don't deliver, I suspect we'll be in an election very soon, and then we might end up with a different outcome.

00:12:11.060 So I still think it's existential for them.

00:12:12.900 If they want to win, they've got to do what the people want.

00:12:15.260 And what the people want right now is they want us to trade more with each other, trade more with the world, and develop resources that have been kept in the ground for far too long because of bad policy.

00:12:25.620 Well, it's a very interesting observation.

00:12:27.140 I think you're right.

00:12:27.740 Liberals, above all else, want to win.

00:12:30.260 It would be interesting if oil was the path.

00:12:32.320 Now, I want to play a very short clip.

00:12:33.580 It's just eight seconds.

00:12:35.000 This is Prime Minister Carney using a term I actually had not heard before.

00:12:39.000 Here, let's just play the clip, and I'd like your reaction to it.

00:12:41.880 Take a look.

00:12:42.580 Now, within the broader context of national interest, the interest is in, as mentioned in the press release, a decarbonized barrel.

00:12:50.720 So working alongside forms of decarbonized oil.

00:12:54.720 On the one hand, that sounds like dehydrated water.

00:12:58.120 There's no such thing.

00:12:59.240 But maybe he means ethical oil.

00:13:02.820 Maybe he means oil that somehow politically finesses things.

00:13:07.280 What on earth does he mean by decarbonized oil?

00:13:10.680 There's a couple of ways that you can have a lower emissions barrel when you're doing the production.

00:13:17.080 So on the production end of oil, they use a lot of natural gas to do the steam-assisted gravity drainage,

00:13:24.260 and there's also a lot of traditional fossil fuels that are used in the production.

00:13:28.960 Our oil sands operations produce about 67 megatons of emissions.

00:13:33.520 And the Pathways Group, that includes CNRL and Zenovis and Suncor, Meg, Imperial,

00:13:39.080 they have come up with a proposal for how they would reduce those emissions pretty well to zero through,

00:13:44.920 first of all, a carbon capture utilization and storage pipeline.

00:13:48.160 Second of all, through technologies that bring in low emissions electricity,

00:13:53.560 whether it's a small modular nuclear or having interties with our friends in B.C.

00:13:57.500 and Manitoba to bring in hydroelectric, or direct air capture to get the last mile.

00:14:02.320 So that's what the Pathways Project has proposed.

00:14:04.840 Now, of course, when you sell it...

00:14:05.920 Do you think that's what the Prime Minister means?

00:14:07.020 Yes.

00:14:07.120 What you're saying is best practices, but you're still getting the oil sands out.

00:14:12.540 Is that what the Prime Minister means?

00:14:14.200 Or is he using some tricky word that actually means no oil will be pumped?

00:14:18.920 No, I think he means that it's all...

00:14:22.040 I called it the grand bargain, but it is, let's do them in parallel.

00:14:26.020 Let's get a new million barrel a day bitumen pipeline to the coast so we can get new markets.

00:14:30.880 And then let's also work on the Pathways Project to be able to decarbonize that oil.

00:14:36.340 And so that's one pathway.

00:14:38.680 I can also tell you one of the other things that I've been talking about since I got elected,

00:14:42.340 and this is allowed under the Paris Agreement,

00:14:44.840 is we should be able to use our technology to reduce emissions in other jurisdictions.

00:14:50.240 So, for instance, if we displace 20% of China's coal plants,

00:14:55.300 that would be the equivalent of offsetting 100% of Canada's emissions.

00:15:00.000 So those are the kind of things that we need to do more of as well,

00:15:02.640 because if it truly is a global market and a global problem,

00:15:06.280 and we care about global emissions,

00:15:08.000 then we should be worried about the guys who are responsible for 50% and 60% and 80% of the emissions,

00:15:14.000 and not just the country that's responsible for 1.5% of the emissions.

00:15:18.420 We actually have a lot of technology that can be applied to the development of coal and wood and dung

00:15:24.460 and using natural gas instead that can have a big impact on all types of emissions,

00:15:30.320 not just CO2, but particulate matter as well.

00:15:32.840 And that should be something the world would embrace,

00:15:35.420 and it should be something this prime minister should embrace.

00:15:37.880 Well, maybe I'll stop making fun of the phrase decarbonized oil then.

00:15:40.860 I thought it was a carny trick.

00:15:42.720 I have one last question for you.

00:15:44.560 I know you've got to run really quickly.

00:15:46.540 I see that British Columbia Premier David Eby is talking about blocking a pipeline to the coast,

00:15:55.360 and I fear that carny will defer to him,

00:15:59.060 just like he defers to Quebec politicians who are anti-oil.

00:16:02.920 Let's not very break down the barriers-ish of Eby. 0.98

00:16:06.780 And God forbid Alberta were to retaliate in kind by stopping B.C. shipping things by rail or highway across Alberta.

00:16:16.240 I mean, it's bizarre even to contemplate.

00:16:19.100 What is the prospect of that unpopular, discredited, desperate ideological premier stopping an entire national project because he's having a bit of a fit?

00:16:32.280 What's the latest there?

00:16:35.600 Am I too skeptical, or is that guy trying to blow up the whole country?

00:16:40.700 Well, we're either going to be Team Canada or we aren't.

00:16:43.540 And Team Canada doesn't mean everybody gets their product to market except Alberta.

00:16:48.180 Team Canada doesn't mean that we support mining and development of all proposals except bitumen.

00:16:53.100 That's not Team Canada.

00:16:54.200 Team Canada is that we support our neighbours in being able to build out the Port-au-Prince-Rupert so that we can get doubling of the rail line,

00:17:01.840 so that we can get pipelines of bitumen, natural gas, and liquids to the coast,

00:17:06.680 so that we can get an export of all of our products.

00:17:09.940 We're an all-of-the-above kind of province, and there are obviously issues that have to be addressed.

00:17:16.300 We need a proponent.

00:17:17.020 We need to address some of the root environmental issues that come up because there always are when you're doing large linear projects.

00:17:26.480 And we need to ensure that there is Indigenous ownership.

00:17:29.480 But I feel like if we do all of those things, demonstrate the national interest, then we'll be able to get approval.

00:17:36.100 I will say that previous BC premiers didn't approve coastal gas link.

00:17:40.600 Previous BC premiers didn't approve Trans Mountain, and they happened anyway.

00:17:44.800 And so I would say that if we can make the strong case, that I'm pretty confident that we'll have the people on our side,

00:17:51.540 and we'll be able to get those projects built.

00:17:54.220 I only have 60 more seconds with you, so let me make it a really short one.

00:17:58.160 And maybe it's too early to say, but so far, based on your dealings with the federal Liberals,

00:18:03.860 how would you rate them on a scale of 1 to 10 for listening and working constructively with Alberta?

00:18:12.580 Give them a report card.

00:18:13.680 Hard for me to put it.

00:18:15.520 I mean, the words are nice.

00:18:17.480 The phone calls are nice.

00:18:18.740 The fact that I can text the prime minister and he responds is nice.

00:18:22.140 The fact that he has had a number of meetings, not only with me one-on-one,

00:18:25.580 but also as a group with first ministers already this early in his tenure,

00:18:29.540 that is a sea change from the previous prime minister.

00:18:33.000 And I do feel like he is genuinely interested in trying to find those projects of national interest.

00:18:39.680 I think we'll know once the project list is assembled.

00:18:43.460 I've seen some of the wish lists of the different premiers.

00:18:46.440 There's about 90 different projects all of the premiers would like to see go ahead.

00:18:50.460 And I think we'll be able to gauge that based on what he chooses.

00:18:53.700 Because remember, we want to choose projects that are going to result in GDP growth,

00:18:59.400 in economic growth, in growth in tax revenue.

00:19:02.360 So if all it contains is a bunch of projects that, you know, public sector transit or highway projects,

00:19:11.740 you know, those may be important, but that's not what we're talking about.

00:19:14.280 We're talking about mines.

00:19:15.260 We're talking about minerals.

00:19:16.340 And we're talking about new markets.

00:19:17.360 And so that's what I'm going to wait and see.

00:19:19.060 Then I'll give you a firm number when I see that list.

00:19:23.640 Sure.

00:19:23.860 I don't know why the prime minister would have a say or the government would have a say on any of those things, frankly.

00:19:28.660 If they're in the private sector, I don't think we need the prime minister to be the picker and chooser.

00:19:32.780 He's not running BlackRock, but Brookfield anymore.

00:19:37.880 He's not running an investment firm anymore.

00:19:40.240 He should get out of the way and let all the above go.

00:19:43.820 But that's a topic for another day.

00:19:45.180 Premier Smith, thanks for spending so much time with us.

00:19:47.740 Keep up the fight.

00:19:48.420 It's great to see you again.

00:19:49.720 Yeah, you bet.

00:19:50.240 Talk to you again.

00:19:50.840 All right.

00:19:51.220 There it is.

00:19:52.320 Premier Danielle Smith of Alberta.

00:19:55.020 Stay with us.

00:19:56.260 More ahead.

00:20:06.240 Yesterday, I showed you Bill C-2.

00:20:08.240 It's 140 pages long.

00:20:09.580 But the craziest part is the banning, the criminalization of accepting cash.

00:20:15.180 Even if you're a church, even if you're a charity.

00:20:17.700 Here's my little campaign video that we launched today.

00:20:20.900 Buried deep within Mark Carney's 140-page bill about border security is a provision that's got nothing to do with border security at all.

00:20:29.680 It's a plan to make it illegal to use cash to conduct business over $10,000.

00:20:36.780 Here is the exact text from section 136 of Bill C-2.

00:20:42.000 Let me read it to you.

00:20:42.700 Every person or entity that is engaged in a business, a profession, or the solicitation of charitable financial donations from the public commits an offense if the person or entity accepts a cash payment donation or deposit of $10,000 or more in a single transaction or in a prescribed series of related transactions that total $10,000 or more.

00:21:10.480 I think that's pretty plain English.

00:21:13.480 They just sneaked this into the border bill.

00:21:16.580 You can see it's got nothing to do with borders at all.

00:21:19.940 It's got nothing to do with criminals at all.

00:21:21.560 In fact, it specifically says that this applies to businesses and doctors and lawyers and other professions.

00:21:29.000 It even applies to charities.

00:21:31.420 What on earth is going on?

00:21:33.560 Why are those groups banned from accepting cash more than $10,000?

00:21:38.160 Like, it's an offense now.

00:21:41.120 What's going on here?

00:21:43.800 Well, you've got to remember that Mark Carney is the former governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England.

00:21:50.020 And for years, those central banks have been looking jealously at Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency because they can't control those.

00:22:00.040 So, central bankers have invented something called CBDCs, central bank digital currencies.

00:22:08.900 The idea would be a government cryptocurrency that the government would issue.

00:22:14.820 It would let the government track how you spend and receive money.

00:22:19.220 But the real power is what smart money, as they call it, can do.

00:22:23.840 It can literally be turned off with a kind of kill switch.

00:22:28.520 For example, CBDCs could be programmed not to let you buy things the government disapproves of.

00:22:34.380 Whether it's lawful firearms or political donations to groups the government doesn't like, like the truckers. 0.97

00:22:40.740 Or even things the government says have too much carbon in them, like a tank of gas or eating a steak.

00:22:49.040 The Bank of Canada proudly says on their own website, and I quote,

00:22:52.880 We've been exploring a digital form of the Canadian dollar, also known as a central bank digital currency, CBDC,

00:23:00.120 to be ready in case it is needed in the future.

00:23:05.060 C2, the new bill by Carney, is obviously paving the way for this.

00:23:09.180 Carney is making it illegal for even churches and even doctors and other upstanding citizens to accept cash.

00:23:17.220 This is clearly not about cracking down on bad guys.

00:23:20.940 It's about cracking down on cash itself and the privacy and freedom that cash gives to citizens.

00:23:29.020 We've got to stop this.

00:23:30.440 We're already tracked enough by our use of credit cards,

00:23:34.100 But that's a choice we can each make by banning cash and pushing us towards a trackable CBDC currency.

00:23:43.540 Mark Carney's liberals seek to make every aspect of our lives bear business.

00:23:48.860 It's not.

00:23:49.960 Just think of what they would have done to the trucker convoy.

00:23:52.300 Turning off their ability to buy fuel.

00:23:55.000 Tracking everyone who gave the truckers even $10.

00:23:57.340 It is a total spy state they're bringing in.

00:24:01.860 Let's stop this madness.

00:24:03.880 Sign our petition at don'tkillcash.com.

00:24:07.920 That's don'tkillcash.com.

00:24:11.160 I tell you, once it's gone, we will never get it back.

00:24:16.860 Look, do me a favor.

00:24:17.700 I don't think most people have heard about this because the bill was only introduced in Parliament a few days ago.

00:24:23.860 Please share this petition with your friends and family and make sure you sign it yourself at don'tkillcash.com.

00:24:31.260 And we'll give you updates on it.

00:24:32.900 Stop and think of all the times you pay for things during the day.

00:24:35.740 Whether it's, I don't know, a drive-thru restaurant or a video on the Internet.

00:24:40.460 Now imagine if the government could see all of that or worse, stop any of that, any of those transactions in your life.

00:24:48.140 That's why they want to kill cash.

00:24:51.320 Go to don'tkillcash.com.

00:25:04.040 A subscriber wrote about my monologue.

00:25:07.080 Anthony Salati said, sounds like a page out of George Orwell's 1984.

00:25:12.120 You know, George Orwell was so pressing.

00:25:14.120 And by the way, Rebel News has republished George Orwell.

00:25:17.440 Not a word added, not a word taken away.

00:25:19.320 I have a little foreword in the book, but the manuscript itself is the original.

00:25:23.480 It's a beautiful illustrated book.

00:25:25.180 I really recommend you look at it.

00:25:26.960 If you don't have a copy yet, go to buy1984.com.

00:25:32.920 Orwell foresaw so many things.

00:25:36.120 Telescreens that you don't watch.

00:25:37.960 Well, you watch them, but they also watch you.

00:25:39.800 But the total panopticon, the total surveillance state, I don't think that even Orwell could imagine how deep it's gone.

00:25:49.680 Maybe he would.

00:25:50.620 I wish he or someone like him were around to give us advice.

00:25:54.160 On my monologue, a comment from Rumble, keep telling the truth, says, this is not the Canada I grew up in.

00:26:02.180 I personally never had a problem with Jewish people and to have people who bring businesses, Sam, the record man, Snyderman, and supply jobs and give away turkeys at Christmas.

00:26:10.160 Anna said, Mirvish.

00:26:10.980 I think most people would say these people are a blessing to society, wouldn't you?

00:26:14.880 Well, I think, I mean, Jews, I'm a Jew myself.

00:26:18.060 I think there's a movie by Woody Allen called Zelig.

00:26:22.060 And I think it was Woody Allen's way of trying to show that Jews go to great lengths to try and fit in where they are because Jews were exiled from Israel and have been guests in other nations.

00:26:35.020 And I think that you can see a kind of Jew who loves to be part of the nation they're in.

00:26:40.740 I mean, who wrote, God bless America, do you know?

00:26:43.820 Do you know who wrote White Christmas?

00:26:46.160 It was a Jew named Irving Berlin who loved America so much because he was kicked out of Russia, really.

00:26:52.980 That's the kind of Jew I want to be.

00:26:54.620 I want to be deeply Canadian.

00:26:56.940 My family came here in 1903 from Dnepropetrovsk, now called Dnepro, in Ukraine.

00:27:03.780 I have no strong ties there.

00:27:07.240 My strong ties are here.

00:27:08.880 And what worries me is this new style of migrant brought here by the liberals in particular, not just don't want to fit in, but they actually despise or hate the country that is so kind to them. 1.00

00:27:24.760 That is a diabolical thing.

00:27:26.400 Next letter from Mark, it's about my interview with Mark Morano, R1759 says,

00:27:33.920 Trudeau's post-nationalism in the next decade of decay will be Carney's net zero-ism.

00:27:39.540 Well, we're going to find out.

00:27:41.080 Danielle Smith is keeping an open mind about her discussions with Mark Carney.

00:27:44.240 And so far, she says, she has some hope.

00:27:47.300 We'll see how that goes in the months and years ahead.

00:27:50.460 Anyways, that's our show for today.

00:27:52.780 I'm on a secret mission tonight.

00:27:54.680 I'll have videos for you tomorrow on the weekend.

00:27:56.980 So keep your eyes peeled for those.

00:27:58.720 Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night.

00:28:03.280 And keep fighting for freedom.
