00:01:52.140 his favorite city. It's September 23rd, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.

00:01:55.820 You're fighting for freedom! Shame on you, you censorious bug!

00:02:02.020 Justin Trudeau is back in New York City again. I used to keep track of how many times he went there.

00:02:16.900 It's in the dozens. He has gone to New York more than he's gone to the great cities of Calgary

00:02:23.080 or Edmonton, probably more than he's even been to Vancouver. He just likes it in New York, and who

00:02:29.440 doesn't? But he finds every excuse to go there instead of to deal with Canadian issues and

00:02:34.160 Canadians. When he goes to New York, he can pretend he's in the big leagues. If you've ever been to

00:02:39.240 Manhattan, it can be quite awe-inspiring. The masters of the universe, the biggest people in

00:02:44.200 every realm are there. Trudeau is a little person, but he can look bigger even if he doesn't quite fit

00:02:49.800 the suit because he travels in style. The government of Canada private jet and lots of money and power to

00:02:55.640 clear the way for him. He couldn't earn it on his own. Now, in fairness, Trudeau doesn't really get a

00:03:01.460 lot of invitations anymore because he's a bit of an idiot. I mean, listen to this. Obviously, he got 1.00

00:03:08.460 this invitation, but would you invite this guy back? Mr. Prime Minister, the final word, any ask or

00:03:14.620 advice for everyone listening today? Well, I think one of the things, you started getting me thinking

00:03:19.640 about science fiction, and I was thinking about Jurassic Park, the original book, where Ian Malcolm,

00:03:26.140 played by Jeff Goldblum, talks about in the movie, talks about the accelerated pace of learning and

00:03:34.320 knowledge and science and the fact that if you're a martial arts expert, you will spend decades,

00:03:41.000 perhaps, getting to the point where you can, you know, kill someone with your finger. And the idea is,

00:03:46.980 once you gain that particular power, you will have lived with it and grown into it so much that

00:03:53.680 you'll never use it or never have to use it, except in unimaginable circumstances, because you have

00:03:59.160 gained control over the power you have. And, you know, the story of Jurassic Park, are waking up

00:04:04.960 dinosaurs again, or AI now, means that we are all busy stepping on each other as we're creating more and

00:04:14.300 more tools that we haven't had time to sit back and reflect on what's going to be the consequence of

00:04:20.200 this or what's going to be the challenge of that or what's going to be the benefit of this. We just

00:04:24.040 sort of throw it, throw it because we can. We're creating all these amazing new technologies.

00:04:28.640 Yeah, thanks for giving us some Jurassic Park analogy. And, you know, he said, oh, I read the

00:04:34.640 book. Oh, you read the book. Did you also read the Superman book? It's sort of embarrassing. I'm

00:04:40.100 sure he's told that story when he was a lot younger, like 20-something, trying to impress some chicks.

00:04:46.420 It doesn't really work when he's with some deep thinkers. I suppose it's an improvement over when he

00:04:53.280 used to do his fancy socks thing. Remember that? I mean, I remember he met with Angela Merkel. I

00:04:58.660 disagree with Merkel on every single thing. But it's hard to think of a more serious, dour,

00:05:04.160 sober-minded woman. And there was Justin Trudeau introducing himself and saying,

00:05:07.900 look at my socks. Did he get a load of my socks? Did you see that? Just absolutely embarrassing.

00:05:15.660 And after that first sort of chuckle at the new kid, the grown-ups really didn't want anything to do

00:05:22.460 with Trudeau. So many images of him attending G7 meetings or NATO meetings or other meetings, G20

00:05:29.400 meetings, and just no one comes over to Trudeau. They just, why would they say hi to him? They're

00:05:35.460 there for very serious matters. When he does manage to strike up a conversation, like here he is with Xi

00:05:43.780 Jinping, who absolutely tears a strip off him. Take a look. 1.00

00:05:48.380 Everything we discusses and leaks to the Pesach, that's not appropriate. And that's not all the way

00:06:01.340 conversation.

00:06:02.340 If there is sincerity on your part. If there is sincerity on your part, we will continue to have. We will continue to look to work constructively together, but there will be things we will disagree on.

00:06:24.100 One of my favorite shots is when he was sitting next to Jair Bolsonaro, who just wouldn't even make eye contact with him. No one thinks of Canada as a serious contender anymore. When Stephen Harper was our prime minister, they did. We punched above our weight.

00:06:49.100 These days, we're not included. As we talked about with Aaron Gunn, NATO has exercises. We're not invited. There's a subgroup of NATO. Actually, it's beyond NATO. It's called AUKUS. Australia, UK, and US is what that stands for. We're not included. We're not invited. They're going ahead and making decisions and planning without us. We're sort of the, at the kids' table at Christmas dinner.

00:07:15.400 You know, Justin Trudeau really should have listened to Donald Trump. Remember when Trump visited Trudeau, asked how much Trudeau was spending on military spending, and caught him in a lie? Do you remember that?

00:07:28.400 Canada does not meet the 2% standard. Should it have a plan to meet the 2% standard?

00:07:33.400 Well, we'll put him on a payment plan, you know? We'll put Canada on a payment plan, right? I'm sure the prime minister would love that. What are you at? What is your number?

00:07:41.400 The number we talked about is 70% increase over these past years, including, and for the coming years, including significant investments in our fighter jets, significant investments in our naval fleets. We are increasing significantly our defense spending from previous governments that cut it.

00:08:02.400 Okay.

00:08:03.400 Where are you now, in terms of your number?

00:08:05.400 We're at 135?

00:08:06.400 We're at 1.3.

00:08:07.400 1.3.

00:08:08.400 1.4.

00:08:09.400 1.4.

00:08:10.400 1.4.

00:08:11.400 1.4.

00:08:12.400 And...

00:08:13.400 They're getting there.

00:08:14.400 They know it's important to do that.

00:08:17.400 And their economy is doing well.

00:08:19.400 Yeah, that was embarrassing for Trudeau.

00:08:21.400 Donald Trump did more accountability journalism there than any actual Canadian journalist had done.

00:08:27.400 But, you know, I suppose when you're still the prime minister of Canada, even a degraded, dilapidated Canada, you could still get certain invitations.

00:08:37.400 I mean, I'm sure the president of Malawi, just to pick a country at random, you know, you're still the president of something.

00:08:44.400 So, I mean, he can still get audiences like at that Jurassic Park conference.

00:08:49.400 It wouldn't surprise me if he had to buy his way in with some $100,000 grant for the privilege of speaking.

00:08:57.400 But I think there's a little bit of what happens out of town stays in out of town.

00:09:02.400 You know that phrase, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

00:09:05.400 I think Trudeau thinks he can sort of live a second or slightly different life outside the country.

00:09:11.400 He can be himself.

00:09:13.400 He can indulge a bit.

00:09:15.400 It's a very limited press corps that travel with him.

00:09:17.400 And since they're flying with him, they are sort of chummy.

00:09:20.400 It's also I think he can let his hair down a bit.

00:09:23.400 Look at this next clip.

00:09:25.400 I call it the triple wobble.

00:09:27.400 He's there in Chicago with David Axelrod.

00:09:29.400 This is a few years ago.

00:09:30.400 He stands up.

00:09:32.400 He lurches.

00:09:33.400 He lurches again.

00:09:34.400 He almost falls a third time.

00:09:36.400 I really think he's either drunk or high here.

00:09:39.400 And I'm not saying that to be mean.

00:09:40.400 I'm just trying to observe why is he so wobbly?

00:09:44.400 Thank you so much.

00:09:45.400 Thank you.

00:09:46.400 Thank you.

00:09:47.400 Thank you.

00:09:48.400 Thank you.

00:09:49.400 Thank you.

00:09:50.400 Thank you.

00:09:51.400 Thank you.

00:09:52.400 Thank you.

00:09:53.400 Thank you.

00:09:54.400 Thank you.

00:09:56.400 Thank you.

00:09:57.400 Thank you.

00:09:58.400 Thank you.

00:09:59.400 Thank you.

00:10:00.400 Thank you.

00:10:01.400 Well, he's going to America.

00:10:02.400 He's letting off some steam, shall we say.

00:10:05.400 And he's back in New York.

00:10:07.400 And I understand he's going on the Stephen Colbert show tonight, along with RuPaul, the drag queen. 0.97

00:10:12.400 So actually, that's a dream come true for Trudeau.

00:10:16.400 Now, that show is just so unwatchable.

00:10:18.400 It is a full out propaganda machine.

00:10:21.400 Bill Gates is going on the show later this week.

00:10:24.400 I mean, if you actually wanted something exciting to entertain your viewers with, you would not invite Bill Gates.

00:10:30.400 But if your job is to propagandize your remaining viewers, you have Bill Gates on.

00:10:35.400 Remember how atrocious Stephen Colbert was during lockdowns with his vaccine sketch?

00:10:42.400 This is so embarrassing.

00:10:43.400 Remember this?

00:10:44.400 The vaccine.

00:10:45.400 Good luck.

00:10:46.400 .

00:11:15.400 Anyways, a place where any prime minister or president,

00:11:30.060 no matter how disreputable or unpopular or childish or past his prime,

00:11:35.780 a place where any of those people are welcome, no matter what,

00:11:39.860 is at the United Nations.

00:11:41.120 That's the point of the United Nations.

00:11:42.940 Even accused war criminals can go there.

00:11:45.740 They have diplomatic immunity coming to the UN.

00:11:49.260 So they couldn't very well turn away Justin Trudeau, now could they?

00:11:53.380 Not that anyone came out to listen to him give his speech.

00:11:56.620 I mean, look at all the empty seats.

00:11:59.320 Oh my God.

00:12:00.440 In a room that holds hundreds of people, it looks like maybe 10 or 15 people were there, max.

00:12:09.200 And I'm pretty sure they were just waiting for the next guy.

00:12:12.540 They were just taking a break.

00:12:14.000 Anyways, I want to show you what Trudeau actually said.

00:12:16.340 It was a very short speech.

00:12:17.800 Don't worry.

00:12:18.480 It's not like a Trump speech, 90 minutes or so.

00:12:21.140 It's a short speech.

00:12:23.000 I don't think he wrote a word of it.

00:12:25.000 I think it's just like some AI collage mashed up of his past speeches.

00:12:29.740 It's very banal and it's full of cliches.

00:12:32.000 But I'll show you what he said.

00:12:33.480 And here's how Canada's Prime Minister put our face to the world.

00:12:38.240 Here, take a look.

00:12:39.300 As we meet here in New York at the UN General Assembly for this summit of the future, we're

00:12:45.160 at a global inflection point.

00:12:47.680 Faced with escalating instability, undermining the very foundations of the international order,

00:12:54.220 beset by the increasingly dire costs of climate change, contending with rising inequality that

00:13:01.080 is leaving the most vulnerable behind.

00:13:03.800 So you're at the United Nations and what's your message in September of 2024?

00:13:08.780 The increasingly dire costs of climate change?

00:13:12.860 What is this, 2015?

00:13:14.640 Why is he talking about that?

00:13:17.340 No Canadians, no Canadians care about that. 0.66

00:13:21.600 All Canadians care about is vast immigration, the cost of housing, jobs. 0.99

00:13:27.360 You're talking about climate change?

00:13:30.540 Oh my God.

00:13:32.040 Here, I'll play some more.

00:13:33.560 The erosion of women's rights, LGBT plus rights, and indigenous rights, and grappling with dire 0.97

00:13:41.660 humanitarian crises perpetuating record levels of displacement.

00:13:46.660 We have a choice.

00:13:48.200 On the one hand, we can bury our heads in the sand, eschewing multilateralism in favor

00:13:54.820 of short-sighted self-interest.

00:13:57.580 Or we can recognize that collectively, we have a responsibility to set our differences

00:14:03.960 aside, to confront the serious global challenges, and to deliver on a pact for the future that

00:14:11.740 builds a more peaceful world, but also one where everyone, every generation, has a real and fair

00:14:19.420 shot.

00:14:20.080 It is true that women's rights are eroding. 1.00

00:14:22.080 I'll give him that point, but not for the reasons he would claim.

00:14:25.560 Women's rights are eroding in Canada, in America, in the UK, across the leftist West,

00:14:31.780 because of the LGBT plus.

00:14:34.800 I note that he no longer says the Q2SL or any of the other alphabet suit.

00:14:40.160 It's true that women's rights are eroding, because transgenderism allows men into women's 1.00

00:14:45.280 places, whether it's sports teams on the field, or changing rooms, or bathrooms, or even in

00:14:52.020 prisons.

00:14:52.920 So yeah, so it's not happening the way I bet he would say it is.

00:14:56.260 And it is true that there are record levels of displacement in terms of mass immigration,

00:15:01.640 but it's not push.

00:15:03.440 It's pull.

00:15:06.160 If you look at the top countries from which so-called refugees are coming to Canada, for

00:15:11.440 example, they're not being pushed here because of global wars.

00:15:15.060 India is the number one source of refugee applicants.

00:15:19.400 There's no civil war in India.

00:15:20.900 India is a fairly liberal democracy.

00:15:23.760 It's getting better all the time.

00:15:25.120 If you're coming here from India claiming you're a refugee, it's not because you were pushed

00:15:29.000 out.

00:15:29.280 It's because you were pulled here by Justin Trudeau's promise of easy entry.

00:15:33.440 He goes on to talk about people getting a fair shot in Canada and a global order.

00:15:38.540 But I don't really understand the speech.

00:15:40.360 It feels like his Canadian stump speech that he would give in a losing by-election campaign.

00:15:46.320 It doesn't really feel like a United Nations speech.

00:15:49.100 Here, watch some more.

00:15:49.900 Believe it or not, we're halfway done.

00:15:50.980 In Canada, that's what we are squarely focused on.

00:15:54.940 As I travel across my country, Canadians of all walks of life, but particularly young Canadians,

00:16:02.280 tell me that they're worried.

00:16:04.340 They're worried about the state of the world and the future.

00:16:07.420 But most importantly, they're worried about the very promise of Canada.

00:16:12.680 The promise that if you work hard, you can do better than the generations that preceded you.

00:16:19.500 That promise is slipping out of reach.

00:16:22.560 So as a government, we are stepping up.

00:16:25.080 The solution to anxiety and angst is not to deceive and deflect, but to take action.

00:16:33.740 We know that confident, successful countries invest in their citizens, in their workers,

00:16:39.760 in their middle class.

00:16:41.020 In national $10-a-day childcare that saves families money while ensuring women can choose the best path for themselves.

00:16:50.880 In nutritious school meals, so our kids can focus on learning and growing.

00:16:57.140 In an ambitious housing plan that will deliver good, abundant, and affordable homes.

00:17:03.460 In a national dental care program that in its first months has already delivered quality care to three quarters of a million Canadians.

00:17:13.320 In a growth and industrial strategy that creates good-paying, community-building, middle-class jobs,

00:17:20.700 all while fighting climate change.

00:17:22.920 Yeah, none of those are really United Nations things.

00:17:26.160 I think we know why the other leaders weren't there.

00:17:28.140 He's talking about $10-a-day daycare.

00:17:31.440 He's talking about getting free dentists or something, all while fighting climate change.

00:17:38.080 That phrase, fighting climate change.

00:17:40.340 Not solving climate change or stopping climate change because it's insoluble.

00:17:45.120 It's unstoppable.

00:17:46.280 If you think of it as a human problem, the climate has always changed.

00:17:50.060 That's why they never say stopping climate change.

00:17:51.860 Just fighting it, the process of it.

00:17:54.180 No achievement.

00:17:55.380 The achievement is the fight.

00:17:56.880 That's where all the money comes from.

00:17:58.180 So he sent the United Nations to talk about 750,000 people seeing the dentist.

00:18:04.400 It's just no wonder no one's there to listen.

00:18:06.580 Here's some more.

00:18:07.640 These choices reflect a commitment to investing in our people and in our future,

00:18:13.440 but also a commitment to tackle global problems that we all share.

00:18:19.180 Climate change and inflation don't stop at borders.

00:18:26.840 Inequality is a problem for the entire world, for people from all walks of life.

00:18:32.500 If we really want to serve our own citizens, we must together tackle the great global challenges.

00:18:40.160 We should work within institutions such as the United Nations and renew our commitment to the sustainable development agenda for 2030.

00:18:51.820 That's a globalist, socialist environmental agenda he's talking about there.

00:18:55.640 By the way, that can never be achieved by design.

00:18:58.200 And like I say, they're not trying to actually fix a problem and then call it quits.

00:19:02.260 They want the problem perpetuated.

00:19:03.880 This is the left-wing mindset in so many things.

00:19:06.220 The poverty industry, the safe drug industry.

00:19:10.720 They don't actually want to clean up these homeless camps or these drug dens in Canada,

00:19:16.160 because then they'd be out of their jobs and out of their grants.

00:19:18.580 We need to protect and support the rule of law and democratic values.

00:19:24.460 We should spearhead efforts to reform the international financial institutions.

00:19:32.880 Really? Really?

00:19:34.220 This is from the guy who declared martial law illegally and unconstitutionally,

00:19:40.460 seized bank accounts, but also at the same time laundered Chinese corrupt money into the Liberal Party.

00:19:47.200 Yeah, right.

00:19:48.580 We must put women's and girls' rights at the very heart of our efforts,

00:19:53.800 much like we have done with our feminist international assistance policy. 1.00

00:19:59.220 We must recognise also that rich countries such as Canada have a duty to fight climate change,

00:20:05.060 which is what we're doing through our commitment of $5 billion towards global climate financing efforts.

00:20:13.040 And we are the first big oil and gas-producing country to establish an emission ceiling in this sector.

00:20:21.260 Fight climate change.

00:20:22.460 Does anyone even hear...

00:20:23.460 When someone says,

00:20:24.500 blah, blah, blah, fight climate change,

00:20:26.020 do you hear blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah?

00:20:27.180 Do you hear just that muttering, mumbling in the background?

00:20:29.900 Does anyone actually hear any words when they say that?

00:20:32.800 Even Greta Thunberg has moved on from climate change.

00:20:36.880 No one cares anymore.

00:20:37.920 Show me what the people looks like.

00:20:39.960 Show me what the people looks like.

00:20:42.880 Show me what power looks like.

00:20:44.880 Show me what democracy looks like.

00:20:54.460 Show me what democracy looks like.

00:20:55.460 feminist climate change god this is so tired all right last clip delegates nearly 80 years ago in

00:21:04.960 the aftermath of the most destructive war in our collective history we formed these united nations

00:21:12.080 and we did so with the aspiration to build something better for today's generations yes

00:21:18.560 but also for many generations to come all of us gathered here have an opportunity to hold true

00:21:26.880 to that mission to fulfill the promise of our pact for the future to deliver fairness for every

00:21:33.240 generation and that's it it's done lord have mercy he did say he's going to spend another five billion

00:21:40.600 dollars of your money in climate finance foreign aid oh it's feminist climate finance what does 1.00

00:21:49.500 that mean other than he's just going to shovel more cash to his friends i don't know no one in canada

00:21:54.620 knows what any of this means why did he even go there is it just to get away to get away from his

00:22:01.000 ex to get away from the by-elections he's losing it'll be interesting to see if he has any brightness

00:22:07.320 in his eyes on tv tonight with rupaul and stephen colbert he used to love going on those shows they

00:22:14.520 treated him like a star i think even he knows it's um it's sort of sad stay with us more ahead

00:22:23.100 i'm in brazil so i'm using a vpn to get on the internet what's a vpn it stands for a virtual

00:22:33.900 private network and you get around these government firewalls suddenly the president of

00:22:38.900 brazil banned his whole country from going on twitter it was a political censorship news i've

00:22:44.140 downloaded the vpn from a company called pia vpn we've teamed up with them at rebel and it's a great

00:22:51.380 deal i got on the internet really quickly safely and even i'm a bit of a technophobe i managed to

00:22:56.600 figure it out with two clicks and here's the great news if you go to piavpn.com slash rebel news

00:23:05.220 not only do you get a big discount but they pay us a bit of a commission too everyone's a winner

00:23:10.180 your freedom your vpn and a little bit of cash coming to support rebel news i'm using it myself

00:23:17.320 to get around the censors in brazil you can use it too that's piavpn.com slash rebel news

00:23:24.400 when i was a kid we didn't have a lot of tv channels but one of them had a great kid show

00:23:38.180 called the hilarious house of frightenstein it's sort of a cult classic in canada uh they filmed it

00:23:46.000 all in like three days like the entire uh all the episodes for the season and there were funny

00:23:51.400 characters and it was sort of a comedy and it's sort of a spooky vampire thing but they had one of

00:23:58.680 these little vignettes every episode it was like a mashup of little skits and sketches but every day

00:24:07.640 they had a physics professor named professor julius sumner miller and although he was quite

00:24:15.800 dramatic to look at and i think he tussled his hair to fit in with the hilarious house of

00:24:19.960 frightenstein he was absolutely brilliant at physics and more than that he was brilliant at talking about

00:24:27.560 physics and i don't know i must have been 10 years old at the time and i laughed at all the jokes but i

00:24:33.440 could hardly wait till professor julius sumner miller had his weekly appearance i loved it

00:24:41.120 here's what i watched as a kid and it was sort of by accident because i was tuning in for the funny

00:24:46.440 stuff take a look

00:24:47.420 how do you do my friends everywhere ladies and gentlemen and boys and girls and children and men

00:24:59.220 and women and people i am professor julius sumner miller and physics is my business and before we go

00:25:07.100 further into these wonderful adventures with nature a word regarding our modus operandi modus operandi

00:25:16.760 on occasion in some of these programs already done and on those i will do further

00:25:24.920 it is clear that i have used some language now and again of an elevated sort words like phrases like

00:25:33.380 modus operandi and such and the impression may be got that this is too much for young ones to hear and

00:25:41.580 understand but i am of the philosophy having been for 60 years in the academic scene

00:25:47.800 that my singular purpose is to make everyone reach and thus their brains are stretched and their

00:25:56.120 emotions moved and their spirit touched so these things that i have done and we are now doing

00:26:03.280 should have virtue for the youngest and the oldest as i am given to say the stuff we do here and we

00:26:11.960 talk about is good for ages 3 to 93 or 2 to 92 or 4 to 94 indeed one-year-olds could enjoy what we are

00:26:22.080 doing so let's do some more of it well julius sumner miller was simply a brilliant professor and great

00:26:27.340 communicator but the granddaddy of the popularizers of science has to go to richard fineman who uh was

00:26:36.820 actually part of the manhattan project he won a nobel prize this guy was probably one of the greatest

00:26:42.700 minds of the last century but in in addition to being a great scientist and fineman said this about

00:26:50.280 experts let me quote it so i get it right he said science is the belief in the ignorance of experts

00:26:58.220 when someone says science teaches such and such he is using the word incorrectly as in he says you must

00:27:06.100 always have doubt you must always welcome criticize criticism that's how we learn

00:27:12.760 if it disagrees with experiment

00:27:15.800 it's wrong in that simple statement is the key to science it doesn't make a difference how beautiful

00:27:25.840 your guess is it doesn't make a difference how smart you are who made the guess or what his name is

00:27:30.720 if it disagrees with experiment it's wrong boy i miss the likes of julius sumner miller and richard

00:27:38.260 fineman we sure could use them now in the place of those giants truly great men we have scientific

00:27:45.100 american and ken when i grew up it was a thoughtful magazine that felt pretty sciencey when you were

00:27:50.580 reading scientific american you knew you were in the serious stuff it wasn't i mean sure it popularized

00:27:57.400 science but it was scholarly and rigorous well not so much look at what they've gone and done

00:28:03.280 scientific american has waded into the u.s presidential debate and wouldn't you know it

00:28:09.960 they have endorsed kamala harris and the reasons why while they're most unscientific joining us now to

00:28:17.000 talk about it is our friend mark morano from climate depot.com mark great to see you again

00:28:21.260 yeah good to see you azra thank you mark i don't know if you when you were growing up if you ever

00:28:26.040 encountered some of these science they were sort of lectures they were actually at a high level

00:28:30.700 but they made it so simple that even kids could follow it i loved that i looked up to these men

00:28:36.740 because they were pure reason that is not scientific american in 2024 is it no in fact i think a simple

00:28:44.960 way of saying it would be they used to teach you how to think about science how to view it and how to

00:28:51.440 conduct it now they teach you that you have to follow the science that you can't dissent on the

00:28:57.700 science and of course as part of that for only the second time in their i think 179 year history

00:29:03.940 they are endorsing kamala harris for president because and this is the key reason she quote treats

00:29:11.740 the climate crisis as the emergency it is and of course they contrast her with trump who has said

00:29:18.240 climate change is the hoax according to the magazine so this is this is decades of government

00:29:24.160 funding corruption suppression of speech and the idea that if you disagree with any scientific claim

00:29:32.720 being made on any topic that disagrees with what any government agency whether it be nasa the world

00:29:39.160 health organization or the world meteorological association uh or any government or international body

00:29:46.560 you are by de facto and by definition uh wrong and a misinformer and you should have your ability to

00:29:53.820 express that suppressed so it's in that spirit that scientific american is endorsing kamala harris

00:30:00.640 because they say claim she supports science she doesn't support science she supports mandating

00:30:07.120 one scientific view that is not allowed to be questioned and this is uh just a sad history of this

00:30:14.380 magazine if you go back just another you know 10 years it was just as bad climatologist judith curry who

00:30:21.640 was the darling of the u.n climate science crowd friends with michael mann totally in on the whole

00:30:27.760 global warming agenda after climate gate she started questioning the science what did scientific american do

00:30:33.800 feature article cover article calling her a heretic of science for daring to challenge uh the u.n climate 0.99

00:30:41.800 view and of course as a heretic that's the language of what ezra the language of religion no more

00:30:48.860 science yeah you know even the phrase emergency climate emergency that's not a very scientific phrase

00:30:56.780 that suggests a political or moral decision it is time to panic this is really serious that's not

00:31:03.660 science language you know i want to and it it's fake science it's it's politics presenting itself

00:31:10.820 the science it's like when fauci himself said i am the science how dare you question me feinman if he

00:31:16.320 would have seen that would have said that is every scientist must question you that's how we learn

00:31:22.020 and let me just i've got feinman on my mind because i'm nostalgic for the era when we could learn these

00:31:28.700 things and you didn't have to be on your guard when you went to school when you went to a museum

00:31:33.360 when you went to an arch art show that everywhere would be propaganda last time i went to the vancouver

00:31:38.600 aquarium one of the best aquariums and aquariums in canada i just couldn't stand like i loved looking

00:31:44.220 at the critters but i couldn't stand reading any of the plaques it was all propaganda same thing here

00:31:49.460 like i i love going to museums but i can't stand reading their propaganda here's feinman talking about

00:31:55.200 the difference between people who can fake knowledge and people who actually understand something this is

00:31:59.680 a great little clip of feinman talking about do you know the word the name for that bird do you know

00:32:07.720 what that bird is called here watch this wonderful clip this is what a scientist is

00:32:13.220 once all the kids were all walking in little parties with their fathers in the woods

00:32:18.160 then the next monday we were playing in a field and the kid said to me say what's that bird what's

00:32:24.440 the name of you know the name of that bird i says i'm the slightest idea he said well it's a

00:32:28.820 brown-throated thrush he says your father doesn't teach you anything but my father had already taught

00:32:34.000 told me about the names of birds he once we walked in he says that's a brown-throated thrush he says

00:32:39.500 know what's the name of that bird it's a brown-throated thrush in german it's called a

00:32:43.600 fliegenfliegel in chinese it's called a qi-long-tong in japanese and so on and it when you know all the

00:32:52.540 names in every language of that bird you know nothing but absolutely nothing about the bird then we

00:32:58.540 would go on and talk about the pecking and the feathers so i had learned already that names don't

00:33:03.040 constitute knowledge it's annoying the name of something that's caused me a certain trouble since

00:33:09.700 because i refuse to learn the name of anything so when someone comes in and says you got the

00:33:14.320 explanation for the fitz-clonan experiment i says what what what's that he says you know that the

00:33:18.400 long-lived k meson disintegrates into two pies oh oh yes now i know but i never know the names of

00:33:25.060 things what he forgot to tell me was that the knowing the names of things is useful if you want

00:33:29.020 to talk to somebody else so you tell him what you're talking about yeah scientific american doesn't do

00:33:35.380 that kind of critical thinking acid test thinking challenging thinking can i show you something that

00:33:41.180 i that i saw online after this endorsement came out it's someone went through what's called the

00:33:47.260 masthead of scientific american that's a fancy way for saying well who's the editor who's the deputy

00:33:52.620 editor and and they checked well what credentials if any do these people have um and it was john

00:33:59.820 carter phd and he starts off with the editor-in-chief um of the magazine laura helmuth who actually does

00:34:08.360 have a phd we'll give her credit although she is much more of an advocate than a scientist and then 0.85

00:34:14.500 they go through pretty much everyone else most of them have no science degrees like for example

00:34:20.120 here's megan bartels senior news reporter doesn't have any scientific training just calls herself 1.00

00:34:27.060 a science reporter she's got a master's in journalism that's not science sonya bata the chief audience

00:34:33.580 engagement editor so she's just writing things for clips uh clicks excuse me they have the senior

00:34:41.280 graphics editor jen christensen well it's okay that she doesn't have a science degree i guess 0.68

00:34:46.200 anyway um he goes through every single person on the mass set and says folks this ain't a science

00:34:53.020 mag anymore it's a political campaign that speaks in jargon that's what it is and that's exactly what

00:35:00.800 it is in fact you make the same you can make the same argument for what we're seeing to our scientific

00:35:05.160 establishment to what the medical journals have become i mean during covid all they became was

00:35:11.000 consensus enforcement government enforcement and whatever the big pharmaceutical funded by bill

00:35:16.500 gates and others wanted to say so they would if donald trump said anything you know like the

00:35:21.560 the infamous oh use bleach which he never actually said all of that stuff they would turn that into

00:35:28.120 how dare anyone question this don't do your own research you can't question authority you need to

00:35:34.600 actually trade in uh fact finding for emotion and give into this all of this from our medical journals

00:35:42.500 to the scientific journals to the scientific american it's really accelerated since march of 2020 with

00:35:49.340 covid because their whole attitude now is if we decree something and we decree as you said anthony

00:35:55.900 fauci that we are the science and we say there's a climate emergency and we say there's a viral emergency

00:36:01.800 or a pandemic uh or then there's one there's one scenario that they will allow play out everyone's

00:36:09.520 on board no dissent that's what the whole world health organization pandemic rules are about uh the

00:36:15.620 pandemic treaty and the amendments it's all about no one dissenting we all have to be on the same page

00:36:21.620 they don't want another ronda santis in florida they don't want another sweden they're going to make 0.99

00:36:25.700 it so this is global have global instant lockdowns global instant vaccine mandates etc

00:36:30.880 and this whole scientific american approach and that's why it's so historic with the few times

00:36:36.420 in their history they've ever endorsed a candidate they're coming out now and they're basically saying

00:36:40.940 this is who you have to because she supports science and right there that should be a reason to be run 1.00

00:36:46.780 like hell because supporting science in today's world is like thomas soul the political and economist

00:36:52.920 and philosopher said this sign when you hear the phrase the science it doesn't mean that they're actually

00:36:58.700 going to consult experts and get you know data driven views it means they're consulting experts

00:37:04.080 for political opinions already made and they need that credential to support the decisions they've

00:37:09.580 already made and that's what happened of course during covid that's what's happening during climate

00:37:14.500 and you have the entire the entire world has gone crazy here it's a it's almost a power trip

00:37:22.420 and it's a idea of suppressing any dissent and allowing questioning that's anti-science it's

00:37:28.620 anti-democratic it's anti-free speech but somehow as particularly the last you know eight years it's

00:37:35.380 all become just the norm and it's the most of you know i'm 55 years old it's the most bizarre thing

00:37:41.780 i've ever encountered in my life just how the entire once sane sort of free world has collapsed

00:37:48.740 and been collapsing in the last 10 years with the acceleration of course uh four years ago with the

00:37:54.080 covid you know uh one of the things that i was chafed against during lockdowns was calling the chief

00:37:59.840 medical officer of any jurisdiction the top doctor canada's top doctor america's top doctor and i kept

00:38:07.720 saying top how um most innovative best patient care uh voted the best by their patients like what how would

00:38:17.520 you measure the top doctor and just be authority that's how they manage that's right power being a

00:38:23.520 government doctor doesn't mean you're the top of anything other than you're the top political

00:38:27.120 doctor you probably haven't practiced medicine in years or decades or if ever a lot of public health

00:38:33.380 uh you know a phd in public health that's not an actual medical doctor and and so we were told

00:38:38.820 well this is a top doctor and ignore the doctors who are practicing in the field and what works you

00:38:45.460 know hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin no no no no no the top doctors say don't do that who would you

00:38:52.540 say is the top real scientist of our age i think you know who it is who by any measure i'm not talking

00:39:01.520 about the top scientists i'm talking about like with quotation marks like a government scientist who's

00:39:07.200 the best scientist out there who's the thomas edison or the um nikola tesla of our time

00:39:14.060 well when i look when i think of that i think of the scientists who challenge the establishment so

00:39:19.800 people like in public health jay bodichara uh michael levitt in the climate science world people like

00:39:26.500 richard lindsen john clauser who just won the 2022 nobel prize in physics and actually went to joe biden's

00:39:33.340 face to tell him he disagreed with him on climate and joe biden said you're practicing right wing

00:39:37.540 science excel story i didn't know there was right wing science i thought there was just science yeah

00:39:42.040 that's the office so those are the scientists i look up to the ones who challenge question

00:39:47.400 authority and question and are dissenter because they're the ones who advance science they're the

00:39:53.000 ones who understand the scientific method not the ones who enforce the science coming from government

00:39:58.480 well here's my answer and i thought you were gonna uh say the same thing i would but i respect your

00:40:03.040 answer because i i see your your way of thinking there um it's first of all the answer is not bill gates

00:40:10.120 he's not a scientist at all it and it's absurd how much credit uh credibility he has been endowed by

00:40:17.640 the media he pays um that he's an expert in anything it's quite something i think

00:40:23.380 who is the man who is putting more into space than all other countries combined who is developing

00:40:31.840 neural link uh which would allow people who are quadriplegic to to to move or communicate

00:40:38.760 again who is the person has a a tunneling company called the boring company a satellite company a starlink

00:40:45.440 i mean he's not yeah he's not a pure research scientist but is he a yeah let's say what is

00:40:54.140 his background i never considered him a scientist what i thought more as he i don't know his back

00:40:58.180 is he engineer he calls himself an engineer i'd have to check it out but i would call him maybe a

00:41:02.900 technologist uh he does his companies do develop patents quite often they put them in the public

00:41:09.240 domain such as with his electric cars but i mean what i when i what i like about him

00:41:16.100 is he took over uh twitter and he sacked 80 of the staff he sacked the people who were the

00:41:25.760 dei fake scientists they weren't scientists at all he only kept the guys who know how to do computer

00:41:33.160 stuff he got rid of 80 of the staff and look at this headline here our journalist sarah stock was

00:41:38.940 flying and popped through an airport and she saw this book in the airport bookstore it's called

00:41:44.040 character limit how elon musk destroyed twitter and this is a new york times book in an in a airport

00:41:54.180 bookstore so not everyone gets in that limited space and i'm thinking destroy twitter it's the number

00:42:00.680 one news app in the world it's it's increasingly relevant it's got more um you know functionality

00:42:08.920 than ever as a scientific or technological project it's a great success but it's a political

00:42:15.140 failure according to the new york times i don't know i think they're trying to smother an actual

00:42:21.680 scientist technologist because he's focused on science and technology instead of politics

00:42:26.820 i think you're absolutely right i mean you have you have the reason he can't even have certain

00:42:32.220 high officials of x or twitter in a country like brazil is because they will imprison them

00:42:37.540 because he's violating their censorship requirements elon musk has court cases going he he's basically

00:42:43.980 told the eu censorship committees to f off if i can be so impolite to use that phrase he is the champion

00:42:52.320 not only of that but you're right of science uh and it's amazing his transformation because you had

00:42:58.060 asked me about him 10 years ago i was no fan of him because he was spouting all this climate alarmist

00:43:03.120 nonsense and um but he is really one of the most significant and important people of our age

00:43:09.720 and becoming even more so and depending on how the election goes in the u.s and how these next couple

00:43:15.720 years go in the world you know people like elon musk you know if he gets crushed and his battle gets

00:43:21.880 crushed on the free speech issue we all lose because this is a world that's turning very dark very quickly

00:43:29.240 yeah you know in canada the government just announced a two and a half billion dollar loan to

00:43:34.540 a spacex competitor called telesat yeah by the way they have to rent the rocket ship from elon musk to

00:43:43.060 get anything up there if they want to go elon is a obviously a billionaire i think he's i don't know

00:43:51.420 if he's number one or two or where jeff bezos stands next to it or sometimes arab oil sheiks are up

00:43:57.220 there but if he continues on this he will lose government contracts they will be threatening

00:44:02.960 imprisonment they'll come after him with investigations they'll come after his ally

00:44:06.900 they will do to him what they did to donald trump and i predict in five more years 10 more years he

00:44:12.080 may not even be in the top 10 wealthiest people that's the way the forces of darkness will will try

00:44:17.740 to take him down you know slowly at first and then they're going to come after him as needed and i'm

00:44:23.000 talking they have that ability to do that because so much of his of course initial wealth anyway

00:44:27.740 relies on government cooperation and government corporate collusion if you will you know it's

00:44:32.640 incredible the u.s uh internet scheme 42 billion dollars to connect rural americans hasn't built a

00:44:40.760 single internet connection could have done it all in a fraction of the price with starlink but that's

00:44:45.080 the difference between science the scientific american way and science the get it done elon musk way i don't

00:44:51.820 know it's turning into a fan club here but i see him as an indispensable person i suppose you could

00:44:56.480 say the graveyards are full of indispensable men but elon musk so much rides on him um industrially he's

00:45:03.140 the greatest wealth creator of all time measured by increasing stock market capitalization in terms of how much

00:45:09.640 money he's made for investors he's the greatest um wealth creator of all time in terms of uh technology

00:45:18.020 and just forcing it through i i really think he is the edison and the tesla of our time and it's it's not

00:45:24.460 surprising he chose nikola tesla's name for his car listen we're talking uh we we meant to start talking

00:45:29.980 about scientific american but we wound up talking about a real scientist instead last word to you

00:45:34.600 does anyone actually still read scientific american when i was growing up it was considered quite a

00:45:40.120 prestigious journal along with the magazine nature uh which i think was one degree more uh rigorous

00:45:46.620 uh do people take these magazines seriously anymore is it part of the general discrediting

00:45:51.220 of official you know academia well yeah it's definitely part of that general discredit this

00:45:57.400 it's kind of like time and newsweek what happens is they still exist but they're no longer that

00:46:02.060 mainstream uh impact you know that they used to have so whether it's time magazine whether

00:46:09.040 it's scientific american these are now niche publications for sort of their base and they

00:46:14.600 really don't get beyond that i i know that from talking to all the scientists that i know in an

00:46:19.380 interview though the climate scientists scientific american isn't even in the field of discussion it

00:46:23.820 just doesn't exist uh it's not a peer-reviewed journal as you said it popularizes science but it's

00:46:28.940 all agenda driven and it's all going to go by whatever the government mandated consensus of the science

00:46:35.540 is they're not going to allow dissent as i mentioned they have that they called judith curry a heretic

00:46:40.680 um so this is just the way the world is very similar to the way our media is in many ways there's

00:46:46.940 really no mainstream except maybe twitter x there's no mainstream media that has where everyone coalesces

00:46:52.780 around and watches maybe other than a presidential debate here in the u.s otherwise everything's just

00:46:57.400 all divided up now it's not necessarily a bad thing but it's certainly something like scientific

00:47:02.080 american is pretty much a joke now when it comes to science kind of like bill nye if you can go back 0.97

00:47:07.160 to the 90s right actually did a lot of great science presenting told kids with difference between a man

00:47:12.520 and a woman fast forward to the bill nye of today he's telling you that there is no such thing as a

00:47:17.600 difference between a man and woman and anyone can be a woman and what you know so it's just amazing

00:47:21.400 how the science has changed in just a few decades yeah i'll take julius sumner miller any day over

00:47:27.960 over bill nye the science if you got to call yourself the science guy um maybe that's a sign

00:47:34.260 that you aren't it worked when he was actually presenting science that was that wasn't like

00:47:39.880 this back in the 90s he was nothing i could go back i can't find that much of anything offensive

00:47:45.000 about him it's just that he later turned into this the science activist yeah yeah well let me leave

00:47:50.900 with a quick clip from julius sumner miller my childhood physics hero take a quick look and then we'll say

00:47:57.040 goodbye how do you do my friends good evening good day good morning all these are wonderful phrases

00:48:14.660 to awaken the spirit ladies and gentlemen boys and girls and others i am professor julius sumner miller

00:48:22.140 and physics is my business and our business today has not only enchantment but aesthetic abundant so

00:48:31.540 physics you see can be a pretty thing to work with here is a metal plate it happens to be brass it is so

00:48:39.360 big in projected area it is so thick the material has certain mechanical properties it is fixed to a

00:48:47.140 bolt firmly in the middle tightly there and i'm going to hold it by that shaft and bow it

00:48:53.940 well there you have it julius sumner miller and mark morano take care my friend thanks for joining

00:49:05.100 us today thank you appreciate it hey welcome back your letters to me citizen jerry says hi ezra

00:49:19.000 i look forward to watching forsaken warriors even the trailer has a lot to say unfortunately

00:49:24.780 our american military is also being victimized by the same woke agenda i'm hoping that under new

00:49:30.540 leadership both our nations can return to an observation from george orwell we sleep soundly

00:49:36.340 in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who do us harm

00:49:41.740 i'm not sure if that's an orwell quote but it's a good quote anyways you know it's funny you say that

00:49:48.360 because uh stephen harper was prime minister when barack obama was president and those men couldn't be

00:49:55.520 more different and then donald trump was president when justin trudeau was prime minister

00:50:01.240 out of sync in so many ways and i think they hated each other wouldn't it be something if

00:50:08.860 we had pierre polyev as a conservative prime minister at the same time you had donald trump

00:50:14.960 as the u.s president imagine the actual things that could get done between our two countries wouldn't

00:50:22.240 that be great to actually be in sync with the us again blade says i'm an older student i go to a

00:50:29.340 campus with thousands of students mostly gen z i suppose last year i was the only one wearing a

00:50:34.560 poppy on campus i went looking for them on purpose some people might say so what but i think it

00:50:39.620 represents the decline of our country and the disrespect of people who put their life on the

00:50:43.460 line absolutely and and the word deracinate means to pull out by the root to cut off from the roots

00:50:50.740 and and i think if you've forgotten your past you've you've got you've been cut off from your

00:50:58.280 roots from your memory from who you are it's like if someone wakes up with amnesia they might be very

00:51:06.180 bright they might have a wonderful personality but if they don't remember anything about their past

00:51:11.300 they're absolutely lost and frankly anyone could take advantage of them you need to know your past

00:51:18.000 not to be trapped by it but to understand it and to understand the sacrifices that thousands of

00:51:24.580 people before you have done one generation to the next to get you to where you are today we take that

00:51:31.200 for granted and our school system and our cultural institutions tv movies books have all focused on

00:51:38.660 tearing down and canceling not remembering that's our show for today until tomorrow on behalf of all of us

00:51:45.920 here at rubber world headquarters see you at home good night and keep fighting for freedom

00:51:50.120 you
