Bill Gates has invested in a company that makes synthetic human milk, and I wonder if it's related to the baby formula shortage in America and Canada. Also, why should others go to jail when you're the biggest carbon consumer?
00:02:04.960Gasoline prices are so high, I can't even believe it. I see it as a car driver when I fill up in
00:02:11.600the pumps. But of course, I don't see it in everything else that is trucked or driven before
00:02:17.300it gets to me. Food, anything in a store, really. But it's a reason for inflation.
00:02:23.920And what are you going to do? Drive only two-thirds of the way to work? Only take the kids to school
00:02:28.740three days a week? There are certain things that have what economists call price inelasticity of
00:02:34.660demand. It's a fancy way of saying no matter what the price is, you still have to buy it.
00:02:40.640With normal things, the price goes up. You consume less of it. You switch. You go without. You find an
00:02:46.040alternative. But you can't do that with gasoline. That's why politicians love to tax it so much.1.00
00:02:52.280That pain you feel at the pump is the inelasticity. You just have to fill up with gas no matter what.
00:02:58.200Maybe 1% of us can switch to taking a bus or riding a bike, at least in the summer. But it's
00:03:05.140not realistic for most of us. Just out of curiosity, I checked what Tesla electric cars are going for
00:03:10.600these days. Look at this article here. The headline is pretty recent. Entire Tesla lineup gets fresh
00:03:18.920roundup price increases in Canada and the U.S. I checked. And the Tesla Model 3, that's their cheapest
00:03:27.320car. It starts at 60,000 Canadian. That's a luxury price. And of course, that's only if you can get
00:03:34.260your hands on them. Tesla only had 12,000 Model S's available for sale in all of Canada all of last
00:03:40.220year. My point is, there is no electric alternative. And you can't bike in the winter here. And unless you
00:03:46.740live in some very specific neighborhoods, in a few of our big cities, you really can't use public
00:03:53.000transit. And it wouldn't work anyways for families. Trudeau likes that, by the way. He likes the pain
00:03:59.880of energy poverty. He's counting on it. He wants you to feel the pain so badly when you use gasoline
00:04:05.940that you will make better choices, as he calls it. Here's a clip of him a few years back on this
00:04:11.840very question. But will Canadians expect to pay higher fuel prices with the carbon taxes?
00:04:17.100I think one of the things we've seen across the country is that the incentives that come from
00:04:24.680better choices, making choices to be cleaner and greener, is exactly what we want.
00:04:31.640So he wants high gas prices. He literally wants them. He calls it pricing pollution,
00:04:37.040pricing carbon. Those are euphemisms for making you pay more for energy, the stuff of life. No one
00:04:42.600else wants to pay more. He himself doesn't pay more in his life. His energy use is all paid for
00:04:48.180by taxpayers. But do you know what you need to buy even more than gasoline? Do you know what you need
00:04:55.780to buy so badly, it will drive you mad. It will put you into a panic if you cannot buy it.
00:05:03.520Food, of course. And even more precise than that, baby food. I mean, babies can't eat the same thing
00:05:10.280as grown-ups, obviously. And especially with newborns. Mother's milk is nature's solution,0.91
00:05:16.740but some mums cannot breastfeed for a variety of reasons. They rely on baby formula, which is a0.99
00:05:24.180special digestible substitute that attempts to replicate the nutritional value of mother's milk.
00:05:30.640And I can't even believe this is happening. There is a shortage of baby formula in America.
00:05:37.000This is from yesterday's New York Times. A baby formula shortage leaves desperate parents searching
00:05:45.700for food. Some parents are driving hours at a time in search of supplies. Others are watering
00:05:52.380down formula or rationing it, hoping for an end to the shortage. By the way, it's happening in Canada
00:05:57.700too, not just the U.S. Here's a headline. U.S. baby formula shortage impacting Canadian families,
00:06:04.620experts say. It's terrifying. Watering it down? Watering down baby formula? Let me read just a few
00:06:12.880sentences from that New York Times article. Marichella Marquez looked at the last can of baby
00:06:20.240formula in her kitchen on Tuesday and handed her three-year-old daughter, who suffers from a rare
00:06:25.200allergic esophageal disorder. A smaller than usual portion of the special nutrition she needs to stay
00:06:31.880healthy. Ms. Marquez has been calling suppliers all over Texas, asking about any new shipments.
00:06:38.320Right now, they are out of it completely, she said. I'm desperate. Ms. Marquez lives outside San
00:06:45.460Antonio, a city that has seen the nation's highest rate of formula shortages. 56% of normal supplies
00:06:51.600were out of stock as of Tuesday, according to the retail software company, Data Assembly,
00:06:58.200amid a nationwide supply crunch that has left parents scrambling to feed their children.
00:07:04.360So it's not even the gasoline. You know, gasoline, there's no shortage of gas. It's just extremely
00:07:10.580expensive. Here, there is literally no stuff. There's a shortage of baby formula. Money will not
00:07:17.040actually even solve this problem for you, though you'll need money to buy gas to drive around for
00:07:21.840hours to find this. Here's the Washington Post. It's a big story. The baby formula shortage is an
00:07:29.940outrage. A sane country would fix it. Look at that picture there. Empty shelves? That's a Soviet-era0.82
00:07:37.340thing, not an American thing. Babies and their well-being have never been much of a priority in the
00:07:44.380United States. But an alarming shortage of infant formula and the lack of a national mobilization
00:07:50.000to keep babies fed provides a new measure of how deeply that indifference runs. Formula has been
00:07:56.920in short supply since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Back then, customers who could afford it
00:08:02.700stockpiled formula to limit their trips outside. A manufacturing and delivery cycle that takes between
00:08:08.64012 and 16 weeks from start to finish didn't keep pace. Okay, but that obviously hasn't been a factor
00:08:15.000in a year, right? That was a factor back then when there was a lockdown. But there has been a
00:08:22.340shortage in the past year, not in 2020, as the supply chain broke down. That's stuff that Donald Trump
00:08:30.700excels at. He's a doer. He's a fixer. He knows all about supply chains and logistics. You can't build
00:08:36.940a skyscraper without that kind of planning and logistics. Do you really think the mentally
00:08:43.500declining Joe Biden knows anything about the real world? Or do you think any of his team do? I don't
00:08:49.780think so. Freight delays held up crucial ingredients like many other industries. Formula manufacturers
00:08:57.000struggle with labor shortages. And as 2021 turned into 2022, a spate of severe winter storms slow
00:09:04.200deliveries of products to store shelves. The worst blow came in February when Abbott Nutrition recalled
00:09:10.720formula made in its Sturgis, Michigan plant. Two babies who drank formula from the plant died of
00:09:17.320bacterial infections, and others were hospitalized. Although bacteria wasn't found in the samples
00:09:23.040they drank, Abbott announced the recall as a precaution. All right. But that's all cleared up now.
00:09:29.820I mean, here's the Daily Mail in the United Kingdom. You often find the best reporting
00:09:34.200overseas. FDA review. It's about the FDA. You know, why is the biggest baby formula plant in U.S. still
00:09:43.300shut down after three months? Abbott says plant is safe and was not responsible for the bacteria
00:09:49.140that killed two kids. But FDA refuses to reopen it as parents across U.S. struggle to feed their babies.
00:09:55.620Abbott Labs claims its Michigan plant is not responsible for bacteria that killed at least
00:10:01.560two infants. The baby formula manufacturer alleged an FDA investigation revealed infant formula produced
00:10:08.600at our Sturgis facility is not the likely source of infection. Abbott claims products from the
00:10:14.400facility did not cause any bacterial outbreak. The plant still remains closed. Despite the findings,
00:10:20.480after shutting down in February, amid a major product recall, Abbott says it's working closely
00:10:26.260with the FDA to restart operations at the plant, as parents across the nation are struggling to get
00:10:31.060formula for their babies. I won't read any more than that. The Daily Mail is actually great,
00:10:36.200aren't they? It's summarizing the whole story in point form. But did you hear it? The FDA won't let
00:10:41.180them reopen the plant. But can I show you a story from just eight days ago on CNN? Eight days ago. Look
00:10:48.000at this story on CNN. Lab-grown human milk. Maybe just three years away. Breast milk is the perfect0.63
00:10:58.220food for babies, but not all mothers are able to best feed. And with adoption or surrogacy, parents
00:11:03.440don't have the option. Enter BioMilk. The North Carolina-based startup is working to create
00:11:10.200human milk outside of the body, from burgers to breasts. The idea first came to co-founder and chief
00:11:17.460science officer Layla Strickland in 2013. After she heard about the world's first lab-grown burger,
00:11:25.840the cell biologist by training Strickland wondered if similar technology could be used to culture human
00:11:31.160milk-producing cells, she tells CNN business. Let me just read a little bit more. I find this
00:11:37.940stuff really gross. Sorry. BioMilk is not the only company hoping to create a new kind of milk for
00:11:43.880babies. Turtle Tree, based in Singapore, and the United States is culturing stem cells to create milk
00:11:49.940components from a range of mammals, including humans. While New York-based Helena is using microbial
00:11:58.360fermentation to grow proteins found in human milk. By taking dairy farming out of the equation,
00:12:05.700BioMilk says its product could make feeding babies more environmentally sustainable.
00:12:12.660Producing one kilogram of packaged formula creates between 7 and 11 kilograms of carbon dioxide.
00:12:19.420According to one estimate, BioMilk is still running studies into its own carbon footprint.
00:12:24.800The promise of a greener alternative to formula has attracted investment from Bill Gates.
00:12:31.960Breakthrough Energy Ventures, alongside other investors, the Climate Focus Fund
00:12:37.400helped BioMilk raise $21 million in October 2021. With this funding, Strickland says BioMilk
00:12:44.260is focused on expanding and making more milk.
00:12:47.900We consider ourselves now in our second trimester, she says. That's so gross.
00:12:54.080Lab-grown milk and lab-grown meat.0.52
00:12:58.960Look at this. Bill Gates, rich nations should shift entirely to synthetic beef.
00:13:04.140We spoke to the Microsoft co-founder about his new book, The Limits of His Optimism,
00:13:09.120the Tech Breakthroughs and Energy Policies We Need, and how his thinking on climate change has evolved.
00:13:14.200That's just a year ago. And here's the World Economic Forum pushing the same thing.
00:13:24.220They're talking about making food in a lab using stem cells of animals.
00:13:29.760What are they doing? This is Frankenstein stuff.
00:13:32.260But they also just 3D print food, too. Take a look at this.
00:13:37.000We are creating a matrix here, which is a plant-based matrix, but we are ordering the fibers as if they were muscular fibers.
00:14:02.480So we are micro-extruding these filaments so that the plant-based stick has at the same time the appearance and the texture of an actual beef stick.
00:14:18.600All right, so the machine is finished now.
00:14:20.720When we tear this apart, you see the fibers, because we are trying to replicate what is inside the muscle.
00:14:50.700We are trying to replicate what is inside the muscle of an actual animal.
00:15:56.700You know, it was also widely reported that Bill had a friendship or business or some kind of contact with Jeffrey Epstein and that you were not, that that was very upsetting to you. Did that play a role in the divorce at all in this process?
00:16:10.700Yeah, as I said, it's not one thing. It was many things. But I did not like that he'd had meetings with Jeffrey Epstein, no.
00:16:28.700Yes, because I wanted to see who this man was. And I regretted it from the second I stepped in the door. He was abhorrent. He was evil personified. I had nightmares about it afterwards. So, you know, my heart breaks for these young women because that's how I felt. And here I'm an older woman. My God, I feel terrible for those young women. It's awful.
00:16:51.700I felt that the moment you walked in. He was awful. Yeah. And you shared that with Bill and he still continued to spend time with him?
00:16:58.700Any of the questions remaining about what Bill's relationship there was, those are for Bill to answer. Okay. But I made it very clear how I felt about him.
00:17:07.700Pretty sure if you're fine with pedophile rapists like Jeffrey Epstein, you don't really care about animals or whatever it is that Bill Gates claims to care about. He doesn't care about people, does he?0.85
00:17:20.700Bill Gates is the biggest private owner of farmland in the United States. Why? Here's another one. Here's another story. Bill Gates now owns more farmland than anyone in the U.S. Conspiracy theorists want to know why. Really? Are only conspiracy theorists curious about this? You're not interested in that question? You don't want to know?
00:17:42.920Yeah. Yeah. If you're not naturally curious about why Bill Gates has suddenly bought up more farmland than anyone else in America, you lack any intellectual curiosity.
00:17:54.120But left-wingers will scold you for asking about it. Since when did left-wingers, by the way, run to do damage control and PR for billionaire oligarchs? Isn't that weird, too?
00:18:05.160Is it about green living or something? That's what Bill Gates says. But I don't think he really cares about the environment, as Elon Musk showed us the other day.
00:18:18.480Bill Gates is taking a massive short position against Tesla stock, the electric car company. Gates doesn't just fly in private jets. He owns a private jet company.
00:18:28.220It's not about a greener world. It's about his bizarre fetishes and his desire to control people like we're ants in an ant farm. Plus, you've got to say, the guy's just weird.
00:18:41.460Bill Gates has been busy in his second life as a billionaire philanthropist. On Tuesday in China, he took the next step in his crusade against poverty and disease by showing the room a jar of poop.
00:22:20.820It wasn't until early February when I was in a meeting that experts at the foundation said,
00:22:26.500there's no way, you know, this, there's been too much travel without diagnosis for us to contain this.
00:22:36.080And then at that point, we didn't really understand the fatality rate.
00:22:40.760You know, we didn't understand that it's a fairly low fatality rate and that it's a disease mainly of the elderly, kind of like flu is, although a bit different than that.
00:22:51.000So that was a pretty scary period where the world didn't go on alert, including the United States, nearly as fast as it needed to.
00:23:01.180So, so you acknowledge, we've known for actually more than two years, it only affects the elderly, but you still insisted that it be jabbed into every young person.
00:23:15.720If, if all we would have had to do was say a 45 day lockdown, I think we would have gotten pretty good compliance.
00:23:25.140It says the lockdown starts extending out.
00:23:29.560And, you know, the lockdown hasn't dropped the cases to zero.
00:23:33.780You know, so the counterfactual of, okay, how much worse would it have been if we hadn't had this lockdown is unclear.
00:23:40.300There was a lot of uncertainty about, for example, school shutdowns.
00:23:44.980To this day, you know, there's still arguments about how many cases that avoided.
00:23:51.520It's pretty clear because young people don't get sick from the disease very often that we probably, if we knew everything we know today, we would have shut schools down a lot less than we did during this pandemic.
00:24:07.700I mean, yes, it's tricky for the elder adults.
00:24:57.120And by the way, if you or I had said any of those things on YouTube or Facebook a few months ago, indeed, even today, you and I would be deleted for disinformation.
00:25:07.380Bill Gates is saying things as if they've only recently been discovered.
00:25:13.680He's still pushing vaccines that he admits don't work.
00:25:17.140I've never seen him speak out against the lockdown, by the way.
00:25:20.980In fact, one of his big lessons, he says, is that we needed to lock down harder and faster like Australia did.0.99
00:27:36.880The party was actually founded in 2018, and they ran five candidates in the last election.
00:27:43.100We expect to have about 100 candidates, maybe more by the time the cutoff tomorrow for candidates.
00:27:49.560And I am running in my home riding of Hastings, Lennox and Addington, which I represented up until recently as a federal member of parliament.
00:27:57.660And who's the incumbent there that you're challenging?
00:28:00.520So the incumbent is actually retiring.
00:28:35.440Fielding 100 candidates, what do you hope to achieve?
00:28:39.920I look at the federal level, and I admire Maxime Bernier, and I know he comes in second or third in a lot of places, and that means something.
00:28:49.500But he didn't punch through anywhere, including in his own seat.
00:28:52.720What do you hope to achieve on Election Day?
00:29:48.500I think we have six engineers that are running.
00:29:51.140But in terms of actual sort of name brand candidates, we do have Rick Nichols, who is a multiple-time PC member of MPP from Chatham-Kent, Leamington, who is running under the Interior Party.
00:30:04.180We have Tom Marazzo, who is a very high-profile leader, veteran as well, of the Trucker Convoy.
00:30:48.400And I know that everyone has a different opinion on things, and there's also personal disagreements.
00:30:53.340But between the New Blue Party and the Ontario Party, I see a lot of similarity in the basic philosophy of freedom and opposing the lockdown.
00:31:03.860But I can't help but feel that if there even is a chance of punching through in a riding or two, that if there are two smaller, non-established, freedom-oriented parties, anti-lockdown parties, that whatever freedom vote there is is going to be split between the two of them.
00:31:29.060I can say on our part that we've reached out to the New Blue on multiple occasions.
00:31:33.420We published actually publicly a proposal that we sent to them privately, and that was not answered.
00:31:40.340And if they say the opposite, they know my phone number, I'm ready to talk any time, I'd be happy to work together.
00:31:47.740Obviously, we're coming very close to this upcoming election, so it may be something for another time.
00:31:52.880But I think at the very least, there should have been some kind of arrangement to not run candidates against, you know, prime candidates of the other party.
00:32:00.760And we would have been happy to do that.
00:32:02.740In fact, even though we haven't heard back from them, we're not planning on running a candidate against, for example, Belinda.
00:32:09.040We think that she deserves the respect to run unopposed.
00:32:14.240Unfortunately, they haven't taken that tack, and they're running a full slate against even some of our stellar candidates.
00:32:19.780All of that aside, I do feel, though, the approach needs to be a positive, uplifting approach.
00:32:25.740We've tried to do it that way, and I would really caution some of the other groups.
00:32:29.580Let's not do the, you know, character assassinations.
00:32:31.980Let's not do, you know, the mudslinging.1.00
00:35:36.720What are you what are you doing to fight this?
00:35:38.420Because if they can do this to you, they can do this to anyone.
00:35:40.720So we did do the appeal process and they actually got back to us today and said that because we've had multiple strikes against us, that this is a final shutdown.
00:35:50.340The interesting thing is, is that the strikes before where we were pulled off, we appealed those and won.
00:35:56.580So it appears that the strikes count even if you win your appeal in terms of, you know, three strikes, you're out.
00:36:20.020And I know that our fight against the digital ID and some of these other health freedom issues is really pushing the wrong buttons at the high levels there in Twitter.
00:36:28.180So we'll take our fight to the ground.
00:39:26.380I mean, I know for a fact that the RCMP vets members of Cabinet because they're privy to national secrets, economic secrets, diplomatic secrets, national security secrets, military secrets.
00:39:38.140And, of course, we're part of the Five Eyes spy cartel, the United States, UK, us, Australia, New Zealand.
00:39:45.900And so we share the secrets of our closest allies.
00:39:49.700Do you really want a convicted criminal in that cabinet?
00:39:54.660Now, that's something that a curious person might ask.
00:39:57.400But I don't know if I've seen a single journalist ask Trudeau about the wisdom of putting a convicted criminal in there.
00:40:33.500Florida Governor Ron DeSantis held a conference in Miami, Florida at the Freedom Tower to give honor to the victims of communism.
00:40:43.020During the conference, he also signed bills that would give funding to the Freedom Tower,
00:40:47.120make November 7th Victims of Communism Day,
00:40:51.040and ensure that high school students in the state of Florida would learn about the evils and horrors of communism.
00:40:57.000Freedom is not free, that you have to fight for your rights,
00:41:02.840and that there are a lot of people out there that would love nothing more than to put you under some form of oppression.
00:41:09.860And so we're going to maybe talk about the budget, but before that, we actually have a great piece of legislation.
00:41:16.280that we're going to sign here today, and I couldn't think of a better place to sign.
00:41:21.300Today, I am signing HB 395, which will officially designate November 7th as Victims of Communism Day
00:41:30.680to honor the more than 100 million people who have fallen victim to communist regimes across the world.
00:41:37.840We want to make sure that every year, folks in Florida, particularly our students, will learn about the evils of communism,
00:41:45.520the dictators that have led communist regimes, and the hundreds of millions of individuals who suffer, and continue to suffer, under the weight of this discredited ideology.
00:41:57.520Next July will mark the 10-year anniversary of the killing of my father at the hands of the Cuban regime, but sadly, my father was not the only one killed that day.
00:42:12.520But sadly, my dear friend, my father was not the only one killed that day, but sadly, my father was not the only one killed that day, but sadly, my father was not the only one killed that day.
00:42:27.520My friend, my father, my father, my father was not the only killed him, was not the only killed that day, but my friend had a baby 32 years old, was also killed 10 years ago,
00:42:39.900as thousands of Cubans before them, during these six decades.
00:42:46.480Actually, as also some Cubans after them, as last July 11th, when Juris Laurensia was shut down in the street just because he was filming
00:42:57.040a peaceful protest. Actually, while we talk today, at least 1,000 Cubans are suffering
00:43:06.240political prison just for peacefully marching, demanding freedom, demanding the end of communism.
00:43:15.120The same evil that now is going to be taught at the schools in whole Florida, also to commemorate
00:43:27.920all the victims. Actually, I'm now looking at the room and I'm recognizing victims of communism
00:43:36.920while I talk. It's time to stop this process, this factor of victims that is the communism.
00:43:48.440What this legislation represents, what this freedom power represents, we've got to be willing
00:43:53.640to speak out when we see things that aren't consistent with our values in our own country.
00:43:59.240And most recently, having the federal government set up a disinformation bureau in the Department
00:44:04.200of Homeland Security is wrong. What they are doing to try to stifle dissent, to try to elevate
00:44:11.000a chosen political narrative that's endorsed by the regime, and to try to marginalize dissenters
00:44:18.280is not what a free society is all about. And what they will use that for, I believe,
00:44:23.560is to feed the social media platforms with what they want to be censored and not want to be censored.
00:44:30.360I'm just thankful that Elon Musk is taking over Twitter.
00:44:41.160He's going to open it up. And when he first did the offer, the board tried to fend it off because
00:44:47.640I think it was a great offer financially. And then, of course, if you look, his tracker with companies
00:44:53.000is probably second to none. So he's going to improve the company for sure. But they were worried about
00:45:00.360him being in control and then them losing control of the narrative because a lot of the stuff that's
00:45:06.920been censored over the last few years has turned out to be true. When you look at a lot of the stuff,
00:45:12.200I mean, there were guys and they were hammering me because I said kids needed to be in school in 2020.
00:45:17.880And they had all these people saying all this stuff. Now, no one will even admit that they wanted the kids
00:45:23.160life, even though many people did, including in Florida, who were fighting for politics reasons.
00:45:28.920So you see all these different things. And that, I think, is really what some of these social media
00:45:34.440platforms have become is they want to enforce one viewpoint and one narrative. And then if you speak
00:45:41.800out against that, maybe you'll be suspended, maybe you'll be totally deplatformed, maybe your post will
00:45:47.160be will be censored or even do it for satire sites like the Babylon Bee. And in fact, that's one of
00:45:53.480the reasons why I think Musk was interested in doing the Twitter. So the opposition, what he was trying
00:45:58.600to do was not rooted in business judgment. It wasn't an economic objection. It was an objection
00:46:05.800for them losing control of the narrative. I think it's a good thing that they lose control of the narrative.
00:46:11.000I think it's a good thing that Americans are able to speak out. And particularly when a lot of these
00:46:16.600false narratives are trying to be shoved down the throat with some of these, some of these major
00:46:21.480companies. And so we, we may be clear in Florida, like our pension happened to have Twitter shares,
00:46:26.840we would have had standing to pursue action against the board of directors if they violated their
00:46:31.800fiduciary obligation. So we let it be known we were, we were willing to do that. The board of
00:46:37.080administration sent all the board of directors for Twitter a letter. And I think that they realized,
00:46:42.440well, I just floored a lot of people who were watching this. And so being able to accept it and
00:46:47.320go forward was the right business judgment to make. I think our, our pension fund is going to make like
00:46:52.36015 million dollars out of that transaction, which is, which is positive for our, for our pensioners.
00:46:57.960But I think more important to me than just the dollars and cents is doubling down on, on free expression.
00:47:05.080You know, there's no orthodoxy that, that the government can impose on us. We're able to speak,
00:47:10.200speak our mind. And, and that disinformation bureau needs to go the way of the buffalo.
00:47:15.960We need to eliminate that. That is a, that is a big danger to free expression in this country.
