Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ The Globe and Mail tells readers how to 'properly hate' Elon Musk

00:00:00.000 Hello, my friends. Elon Musk is a trillionaire, and he didn't do it by government grants or

00:00:05.360 handouts. He didn't steal it from the people like most centi-billionaires did, tyrants like

00:00:10.720 Vladimir Putin or the crown prince of Saudi Arabia or even Kim Jong-un. He didn't steal

00:00:16.280 his money. He earned it. He's a visionary and a man of action. I'll tell you about it. And

00:00:21.420 the startling response to him by the Globe and Mail, who says we should all hate and despise

00:00:28.120 him. I'll take you through it. But first, let me invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel News

00:00:58.120 Tonight, the Globe and Mail newspaper tells its audience that it should hate Elon Musk

00:01:06.040 because he's rich.

00:01:07.040 It's June 12th, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show. 0.98

00:01:13.560 Shame on you, you censorious thug. 0.83

00:01:25.240 Hey, take a look at this from the Globe and Mail, a serious newspaper, the newspaper of 0.98

00:01:30.100 record. Just ask them. The newspaper we're all supposed to look up to as a role model

00:01:34.560 for how to do proper journalism. Here's what they wrote. Opinion. SpaceX IPO makes Elon

00:01:43.620 Musk the first trillionaire. Here's how to properly hate him. Really? I don't get it.

00:01:50.880 Should I hate him because he's rich?

00:01:53.860 This is what the male's advice is.

00:01:55.360 Why?

00:01:55.620 Did he steal his money?

00:01:57.020 Because that would get me mad.

00:01:59.260 I tell you, that's how some rich people get rich.

00:02:02.400 Let's say you're the dictator of a country.

00:02:04.720 You could steal billions, probably not a trillion dollars, but billions.

00:02:09.900 North Korea's Kim Jong-un is reportedly worth $5 billion.

00:02:15.900 His people are so poor.

00:02:17.460 They're so hungry. 0.93

00:02:18.300 They eat grass.

00:02:19.740 There's a famine. 1.00

00:02:21.840 Cuba's Castro family has stolen billions. There's no electricity. There's no diesel fuel in the 1.00

00:02:28.480 country. Putin is said to have skimmed $200 billion from Russia. And don't get me started

00:02:36.000 on the so-called royal families in the Persian Gulf. I've never heard the Globe and Mail talk

00:02:41.440 like that about this kind of people, people who really have literally stolen, skimmed,

00:02:48.160 siphon, taken the money from their own people as opposed to earning it. Here's a few words from

00:02:55.440 the editorial inside the Globe and Mail, if you actually care to hear anything more from such a 0.61

00:03:01.380 gross newspaper. By the way, after a day of being mocked mercilessly for that tweet, the Globe and

00:03:07.200 Mail changed the headline on their website story. They wrote, the previous headline on this article

00:03:13.400 did not meet the globe's editorial standard it has been replaced oh so so it's just the headline

00:03:18.820 on on the tweet hey that's all that was wrong and it took them a full day to think about that you

00:03:24.740 you weren't sure if it was meeting your standards by the way here's the article itself if you click

00:03:30.200 on the link on that tweet their new headline is spacex is set to make elon musk the first

00:03:37.620 trillionaire. Is that a bad look for capitalism? Yeah, no, I think your newspaper is the one with

00:03:43.740 the bad look. I'll read a bit. Now that the SpaceX initial public offering is making Elon Musk

00:03:50.200 all but officially the world's first trillionaire, is it okay to despise him just for being one?

00:03:57.980 So you have to understand the Globe and Mail editorial board or editor said the word hate

00:04:04.440 was not up to their standards but apparently the word despise is it wasn't just the tweet it's the

00:04:10.860 whole essay so they no longer hate him they just despise him the article is embarrassing it's the

00:04:17.860 kind of thing that some college leftist would say over a marijuana joint it gives examples of

00:04:24.440 conspicuous consumption from rich people like super yachts but the examples were not of elon

00:04:31.140 Musk because Elon Musk doesn't have super yachts. He doesn't have a yacht. He dresses

00:04:36.860 pretty plainly. All he seems to do is work. Actually, have you ever seen him do what they

00:04:43.760 call conspicuous consumption? I haven't, and I follow the guy pretty closely. So to make sure

00:04:49.980 you hate them, the Globe and Mail talked about other rich people and their excesses while telling

00:04:56.660 you to hate and despise elon musk the article says quote enter elon it was his wealth not his

00:05:02.980 political acumen or the strength of his ideas to put him at the center of government no voter gave

00:05:08.280 him political power he simply bought it what is elon musk at the center of government is he really

00:05:16.880 what can you tell me where i presume they're talking about the united states is he involved

00:05:21.620 somehow in their foreign policy there's a lot of foreign policy going on right now iran

00:05:26.640 Israel, Venezuela, Cuba.

00:05:29.200 Is Musk involved at the center of government?

00:05:31.800 Can you tell me where?

00:05:33.620 In the military, maybe?

00:05:34.860 In the border policy?

00:05:37.000 And ICE?

00:05:37.960 Is Musk involved at all?

00:05:39.240 What is he doing literally?

00:05:41.760 Does Elon Musk even know that the global mail thinks he's at the center of government?

00:05:46.920 You know who's at the center of government?

00:05:48.040 Donald Trump.

00:05:48.920 And everyone else is a footnote.

00:05:51.160 I suppose you could say the vice president and the secretary of state, Marco Rubio.

00:05:55.200 and that's about it. It is just Trump. I mean, a year ago, it's true. Elon Musk helped with

00:06:02.220 something called Doge, the Department of Government Efficiency, that was able to find a lot of fraud

00:06:06.620 just, you know, using technology. I liked Doge a lot. I liked what it did, but it didn't even last

00:06:13.200 a year. It was shut down. It certainly wasn't at the center of government. It wasn't a cabinet

00:06:18.000 level position. I don't think that Doge staff ever got much more than 100 people. There are,

00:06:23.640 By the way, two million people who work for the U.S. government by comparison.

00:06:27.240 So when the globe says we should hate Elon Musk for his yachts, he doesn't have any for his political power.

00:06:35.620 Can I ask what political power?

00:06:37.440 I mean, last year, Elon Musk complained out loud that he actually didn't have political power, that his ideas were not being followed by Trump.

00:06:44.640 And Trump immediately sacked him and exiled them from the White House.

00:06:49.060 They've later made up as friends.

00:06:50.920 But Musk has no political role whatsoever.

00:06:54.940 If I'm wrong, tell me what it is.

00:06:57.320 It's true, as the Globe and Mail notes, that Musk has billions of dollars in revenues from the government.

00:07:02.340 They say, Mr. Musk disparages big government while gorging on at least $38 billion in government contracts, loans, subsidies, and tax credits, often at critical moments.

00:07:12.700 That makes it sound like some sort of Canadian arrangement where we give companies corporate welfare.

00:07:19.580 I think that's called projection by the Globe and Mail.

00:07:22.940 Musk sells his services to the U.S. government, including building a military satellite system called Starshield, which is the military equivalent of Starlink, his internet satellite company.

00:07:35.640 He's the best in the world at that, and its value is being proven over Ukraine.

00:07:41.140 Ukraine could not have a drone army were it not for Starshield.

00:07:44.460 musk sends more cargo into space than every other space company rocket company or country

00:07:53.160 combined times 10 and because he reuses his rockets it's so much cheaper than anyone else 0.99

00:08:01.020 imagine no elon musk china would by far be the world's leader in space nasa is a big dumb 0.73

00:08:07.720 government agency oh and by the way it's very jealous listen to nasa's aging celebrities 0.92

00:08:12.680 He's dissing Musk a few years ago.

00:08:15.280 You know, there are American heroes who don't like this idea.

00:08:20.000 Neil Armstrong, Gene Cernan have both testified against commercial spaceflight

00:08:25.460 and the way that you're developing it.

00:08:27.080 And I wonder what you think of that.

00:08:29.300 I was very sad to see that because those guys are, yeah.

00:08:35.200 You know, those guys are heroes of mine, so it's really tough.

00:08:38.760 You know, I wish they would come and visit and see the hardware that we're doing here.

00:08:42.680 And then I think that would change their mind.

00:08:44.960 They inspired you to do this, didn't they?

00:08:47.240 Yes.

00:08:49.840 And to see them casting stones in your direction.

00:08:56.220 It's difficult.

00:08:57.960 Yeah, they didn't want Musk to succeed because they wanted to monopolize everything with government-run programs.

00:09:03.340 They wanted to be the bosses of it, even though he was so clearly better.

00:09:07.420 I shouldn't give any more airtime to the losers of the Globe and Mail, but they end this way.

00:09:11.240 quote, he exemplifies the idea of government as the plaything of plutocrats who shamelessly bend

00:09:17.380 public policy towards private advantage. Hey, have you ever heard of George Soros or even worse,

00:09:22.980 his son, Alex Soros? I encourage you to follow Alex Soros on Instagram. I do. All it is is a

00:09:29.400 picture of Alex Soros, the son of billionaire George Soros, posing with his collectibles,

00:09:35.160 every Democrat politician in the United States and many around the world. Have they ever told

00:09:40.340 you to hate George Soros? No, they'd probably say that was hateful. They're implying that Elon Musk

00:09:47.200 is pushing the U.S. government to do things they wouldn't do so he can get rich. Is that really

00:09:52.900 how he does it? I mean, I know that's how it works in Canada. I know that tens of billions of dollars

00:09:58.840 for schemes that no one in the private sector would support, like this new $90 billion high-speed

00:10:04.500 rail scheme, or the old $50 billion electric vehicle battery scheme, or all the wind turbines.

00:10:12.640 These are all, by the way, designed to somehow compete with Elon Musk, but instead they failed.

00:10:18.000 The bill's being handed to the taxpayer. I mean, just yesterday, you know, that pathetic 0.98

00:10:21.920 Canadian space slab, as I'm calling this slab of concrete out in Canso, Nova Scotia. They had a 0.95

00:10:29.280 launch of a mini rocket yesterday with some kids there and um the timing was obvious they want to

00:10:35.960 prove they're in elon musk's league uh yeah no um some liberals managed to liberate 200 million

00:10:42.300 dollars from taxpayers for a slab of concrete in nova scotia that's turning government into a play

00:10:49.160 thing musk doesn't really need that he just did the world's biggest ipo initial public offering

00:10:55.860 of his company, selling his shares, not to manipulated politicians or whatever the accusation

00:11:01.320 is, but to anyone and everyone who could buy it. By the way, one of the early investors in SpaceX

00:11:07.200 who just made billions off this deal was the Ontario Teachers Pension Fund. If I understand

00:11:13.760 correctly, I think they made $11 billion today from Elon Musk, not from taxpayers, but from

00:11:21.520 investing in Elon Musk. Now, I'm sorry I've spent so much time going through this factually false

00:11:26.360 op-ed as if it were a serious argument. It is not. It's just an attempt to dress up envy and

00:11:31.460 hatred as some sort of thoughtful philosophy. It's not. But it's not just the anti-capitalist

00:11:36.440 hatred. It's the personal hatred, whipping up personal hatred of the sort that saw the

00:11:41.460 assassination not too long ago of that health care executive in the streets of New York City

00:11:46.100 as part of an explicit murder campaign

00:11:49.000 against millionaires?

00:11:52.140 By the way, the Globe and Mail wasn't alone

00:11:54.140 in their super gross childish tantrum.

00:11:57.700 Here's the Financial Times who you'd think would know better.

00:12:00.720 Elon Musk is a real-life Bond villain.

00:12:03.580 Really?

00:12:04.440 Is he killing people?

00:12:06.560 Is he stealing or kidnapping? 0.77

00:12:09.220 What are you saying other than he's evil?

00:12:11.640 That's all that means, really.

00:12:13.880 Opinion.

00:12:14.400 You might have thought the world's richest man had enough on his plate teeing up history's biggest IPO, yet he has been devoting many of his waking hours to stoking up racial hatred in Britain on his social media site.

00:12:26.920 What?

00:12:28.860 What do you mean because he's allowing on Twitter criticism of this migrant who tried to behead a man in Belfast?

00:12:35.980 So is it the Belfast head hacker you're mad at

00:12:42.460 or the guy who's criticizing the head hacker?

00:12:45.900 This is the Financial Times, very embarrassing.

00:12:48.880 Look, I'm sure both the Globe and Mail

00:12:50.160 and the Financial Times are doing this for clicks.

00:12:52.980 It's rage bait.

00:12:54.440 Elon Musk's IPO is big news.

00:12:56.640 And I suppose since the Financial Times

00:12:58.560 and the Globe and Mail really have no other angle,

00:13:01.280 they've decided to try to editorially trash the man

00:13:04.460 just for clicks.

00:13:05.240 Congratulations, guys, it worked.

00:13:07.100 The laugh is that the Financial Times pretends to be the UK newspaper of record for business,

00:13:13.120 but they're obviously, they've gone woke, and they hate their readers, and they sound

00:13:17.320 pretty Marxist to me.

00:13:18.220 Now, Canada's Globe and Mail is an even stranger situation, as you may know.

00:13:21.960 It's owned by David Thompson, the richest oligarch in Canada, whose family's worth more than

00:13:28.200 $80 billion.

00:13:29.540 And back to my first point, unlike Elon Musk, who just earned every cent he has, who just

00:13:36.060 had the biggest IPO in history with a line of people who believe in his company, the

00:13:40.860 Thompson family, how did they earn their billions?

00:13:44.620 Oh, oh, right.

00:13:45.540 They inherited it from their grandfather, who was a bit of a tycoon in his day, too.

00:13:49.860 So the richest oligarchs in Canada, whose sole accomplishment is to have been born after

00:13:55.440 their grandfather rather than before him. They're the ones stoking hatred against Musk's wealth.

00:14:01.660 That's called chutzpah in Yiddish. But it's not just that they've inherited the wealth rather

00:14:07.000 than created it themselves. It's not just that they're hypocrites calling out Musk for being 0.98

00:14:11.520 far more successful than they are. They're grifters. It's so weird. It's like millionaires 1.00

00:14:17.960 who might shoplift something because they're so cheap. That's the Thompson family. They're

00:14:23.120 mooches and i say so because they're doing exactly what their foolish writer just accused 0.99

00:14:28.420 elon musk of doing they have the chutzpah to call him out for government contracts that's what they 0.95

00:14:36.080 said although elon musk actually delivers something they themselves despite being owned by the richest

00:14:42.260 family in the country the global mail still mooches up media subsidies from the liberals

00:14:47.100 because they can't run a newspaper in the black their grandpa ran newspapers and made a huge

00:14:52.720 profits off it. Not today's Thompsons who have to beg and borrow from taxpayers for a bailout

00:14:58.520 every year, or the Globe and Mail would go out of business. That is so, so gross, don't you think?

00:15:03.780 Yeah, so those are the people saying you ought to hate Elon Musk. Stay with us for more.

00:15:09.080 well as a crime continues to rise in canada especially gun crime the government needs to

00:15:24.580 distract harder and more than ever they want to pretend that somehow by putting regulations on

00:15:31.820 law-abiding gun owners in particularly long arms uh rifles and shotguns that that will somehow

00:15:38.260 make a difference to urban street crime, home invasion crime, that's almost always done with

00:15:43.820 stolen weapons, usually from the states that are small, that are pistols, that are not a long

00:15:50.060 shotgun style weapon. I'm not an expert in firearms, but I know that a duck hunter, a farmer,

00:15:56.440 a rancher is not the locus of the problem. That's not part, let's say, of the extortion gangs in

00:16:03.320 Surrey, where a thousand person gang has actually sent letters to the police taunting them. Just

00:16:10.600 think about that for a second. Or the horrific case in Toronto, where a young police officer

00:16:16.180 was just murdered by a, it looks like, by a Islamic terrorist group. Imagine having those 1.00

00:16:23.900 kinds of gun crimes, actual harmful gun crimes in your country, and thinking that rural farmers are

00:16:30.640 the problem. Well, it just has never made sense other than as a PR stunt and a distraction move

00:16:37.200 for the government. I remind you that Gary Inanda Sangary, the public safety minister,

00:16:42.360 he himself was a lawyer for a terrorist group. It's astonishing that he was elevated to the

00:16:47.520 position of public safety minister. By the way, he has to recuse himself whenever matters involving

00:16:53.860 his former friends at the terrorist group comes up. Imagine having such a man in charge of anything

00:16:59.240 involving public safety. Well, one of the things that has happened when you have a ridiculous 0.97

00:17:03.780 policy like that is it just doesn't work. I mean, we like to say that socialism works 0.71

00:17:08.700 until you run out of other people's money. These firearm bans, they just never work. They just

00:17:15.140 keep needing to be extended and tried again and another thousand types of guns banned because it

00:17:20.780 simply will not work and doubling it will not make it work either. But a strange little headline

00:17:26.180 today. Let me read it to you from the CBC. Feds extend amnesty period for firearms ban

00:17:33.180 pending Supreme Court ruling. Government says deadline to comply will kick in 90 days

00:17:38.520 after top court's decision. Joining us now to talk about this is someone who knows a lot more

00:17:43.800 firearms law and policy than I do. His name is Blair Hagan, and he is with the National Firearms

00:17:49.320 Association based in Vancouver. Blair, great to see you. Thanks so much for coming on the show.

00:17:54.380 Thanks for having me.

00:17:55.620 It's our pleasure.

00:17:56.400 You know, I'm not an expert in firearms.

00:17:57.780 I know that our friend Sheila Gunn-Reed is a real user and connoisseur of these things,

00:18:03.840 and she has a deep personal understanding of it.

00:18:06.280 My understanding is more as an outsider, I see the crime in the big cities.

00:18:11.860 I mean, Vancouver has a lot of crime.

00:18:13.560 Toronto certainly has.

00:18:14.860 It's in the middle of its worst crime wave ever.

00:18:16.700 They are not using the kind of long arms that ranchers have or that a duck hunter says, let's go hunting.

00:18:25.000 The crime in the big cities is almost exclusively done with illegal firearms smuggling from the states that simply is not touched by these laws.

00:18:35.040 Am I right?

00:18:36.400 Yes, you are right.

00:18:37.840 Basically, this is a boutique issue for the Liberal Party of Canada and other progressive parties in Canada.

00:18:44.280 And really, all over the Western world, it's the same in the United States, overseas, UK, Australia, which have seen similar bans and similar attempts at confiscations.

00:18:55.560 So does this have any basis in public safety?

00:18:57.660 We all know it doesn't.

00:18:59.160 But the government is committed to it.

00:19:01.060 It's an ideological cause for them.

00:19:03.260 And unfortunately, Canadians have to suffer because of it.

00:19:06.200 Now, this firearms ban and the buyback and a lot of these schemes have been kicking around for years.

00:19:12.780 I mean, Justin Trudeau certainly leaned on this.

00:19:15.480 Tell us about this latest firearms ban that is sort of on hold.

00:19:21.340 This is being litigated, and the Supreme Court has agreed to hear it.

00:19:25.140 By the way, for folks who don't know, you generally do not have the right to have a case heard by the Supreme Court.

00:19:31.300 I think if you were convicted of murder, you do.

00:19:33.640 But other than that, I don't think anyone else has the right to say,

00:19:36.880 I demand for a case to be heard by the Supreme Court.

00:19:39.600 they're quite picky and choosy about the court the cases they take they typically only take ones

00:19:44.800 that will have national public policy ramifications or if there's two different streams of thought

00:19:50.460 emerging from different provinces so if in the west the law is this interpretation in the east

00:19:55.340 it's that the supreme court will want to clarify it so this is it's a big deal that the that the

00:20:00.420 supreme court has said yeah we're going to hear it tell us a little bit about uh that and i understand

00:20:05.920 it's going to happen sometime next year but fill us in a little bit on on that supreme court battle

00:20:10.560 yeah uh this is an important property rights issue okay and frankly what the liberals have

00:20:17.620 done with these uh bands with the orders in council uh the first one was in may 2020

00:20:22.600 uh second december 2024 and uh the last in march of 2025 uh what they've done here is really

00:20:31.080 unprecedented. They have targeted hundreds of thousands, if not millions of firearms,

00:20:38.140 private property of Canadians and demanded that they be turned in at some point. Compensation

00:20:44.620 paid, maybe, you know, if you're lucky, it's not guaranteed, but it really is unprecedented. And

00:20:50.680 maybe the Supreme Court saw it in that manner and decided that it was worthy of consideration.

00:20:57.620 Yeah. You know, the buyback, in some ways, it's appealing because it feels voluntary. I mean, someone chooses to sell their gun. So theoretically, they're getting some sort of compensation.

00:21:13.820 Gun owners aren't having it, though.

00:21:15.300 I mean, the targets, the expectations, the quota that the government thought, they have come nowhere near it.

00:21:21.860 Tell us what that implies.

00:21:24.780 Does it imply that the price is wrong?

00:21:27.680 Does it imply that no one trusts the government, that people don't want to give up their guns?

00:21:32.440 Why have the – or were the liberals just, you know, fooling themselves and thinking Canadians don't want – why is it that they have failed?

00:21:41.120 Like, what's the technical reason, do you think?

00:21:43.300 Well, it implies that the entire program, the entire concept of this is patently offensive and has been rejected by Canadians.

00:21:53.000 I mean, it boggles the mind that the Liberals thought it was a good idea to do something like this, especially in the scope and the scale that they did it.

00:22:04.100 But the fact of the matter is there's a lot of parallels with the old long gun registry.

00:22:08.620 And, of course, at that time, the government demanded that Canadians register their rifles and shotguns.

00:22:14.780 A lot of people, probably the majority of firearms owners in Canada, saw this as a prelude to confiscation.

00:22:21.240 And I think that's been confirmed by recent liberal actions on this.

00:22:26.880 They are certainly using old long gun registry data to target owners.

00:22:30.520 um so i think a lot of the uh a lot of the uh predictions that we made uh back when uh the

00:22:38.600 long gun registry battle was going on have come true today um generally speaking uh canadians

00:22:44.200 have contempt for this program uh they very much believe in their rights and freedoms and the right

00:22:49.680 to keep property like this uh lawfully acquired property don't forget all of these firearms are

00:22:55.700 owned by licensed firearms owners i mean they're not just wandering out there in the street they

00:22:59.760 You know, they were not purchased unlawfully or owned unlawfully.

00:23:04.660 These are the property of licensed firearms owners and the contempt that the liberals are demonstrating for those people, those Canadians and taxpayers in general with this program is it will not be forgotten.

00:23:18.440 You know, if you start to get worried about your civil liberties in Canada, you start to notice things.

00:23:25.600 For example, I think a lot of Canadians were shocked when the government declared a national emergency, invoked the Emergencies Act, and seized and froze bank accounts of hundreds of their peaceful critics with no judicial process at all.

00:23:42.160 They just sort of named them.

00:23:43.540 And the banks went along with it.

00:23:45.000 And by the way, some people didn't go far and think it went far enough.

00:23:48.500 Mark Carney is an example of that.

00:23:49.840 And then you see the new bill introduced just yesterday by the liberals requiring people to show ID to get onto social media.

00:23:58.560 They're framing it as keeping kids off, but that means adults have to prove who they are when they log on.

00:24:05.360 And, you know, I hear from my friend Sheila Gunn-Reed that in Quebec, the government is proactively calling spouses of gun owners just to say, hey, any spousal assaults lately?

00:24:17.600 like just the most astonishing violations of privacy and and that's the most bizarre and then

00:24:23.460 throw on their censor so between the violation of privacy the violation of property rights and

00:24:29.700 the removal of basic rule of law in the emergencies act and by the way even though two courts have

00:24:38.160 ruled that illegal the government insists on appealing so i think if you look at all these

00:24:42.040 things together there's cause for concern and uh i think that that is the real motivation for the

00:24:50.280 liberals is they want to weaken our our strength as individuals and strengthen their powers as an

00:24:58.520 authoritarian state they have authoritarian tendencies that's my view and i'm not a gun

00:25:02.520 owner but that's how it looks like to me from the outside yeah you're absolutely right i mean this

00:25:07.660 is a very statist liberal party uh it's very extreme in a lot of its views uh it has adopted

00:25:14.680 a lot of very concerning uh programs and agendas that i think are rejected by most canadians

00:25:22.060 and uh you know uh firearms owners have always felt themselves to be the canary in the coal mine

00:25:27.680 you know a lot of canadians think well oh you know gun control we need gun control and a few

00:25:32.280 people have to be inconvenienced you know that's too bad uh we'll accept uh you know the uh we'll

00:25:38.920 accept the assault on our liberties and the predictions that certainly we made 20 30 years

00:25:44.600 ago are all coming true today i think a lot of people have woken up i think there's a lot of

00:25:49.300 concern don't forget that this gun confiscation program is not supported by the majority of

00:25:55.140 provinces in canada right it is not it is not supported by the majority of law enforcement

00:25:59.980 Right, right. You know what? You're so right. And including some surprisingly large police forces whose members say, you know, we're not going to waste our time on that. We're actually going to go after the bad guys. I mean, I mean, I live in a city with a massive crime wave right now. And the idea that this would be a policing priority is so far from common sense. I think even when police say this is a stunt, I'm not going to waste my time on it. You know that things have gone off the rails.

00:26:25.940 Blair, thanks for the refresher course on this. I think some of our viewers are like me. They're not gun owners, but they understand gun ownership and its importance. And some are like my colleague Sheila, who it's part of their culture, it's part of their family, it's part of their history, and they know more than the rest of us what a foolish law this is.

00:26:46.340 So thanks for the briefing, and we'll keep in touch, and we'll look with interest on the Supreme Court case when it finally comes down.

00:26:52.700 Yes, this is a Canadian right and cultural tradition. Okay, and we've been celebrating that since Confederation. I think the Liberals have made a very bad mistake here. But unfortunately, we're just going to have to see how this plays out in the year or years ahead.

00:27:09.780 you know i read a lot online from uh official commentators and from amateur individuals

00:27:18.760 about elon musk's ipo making him a trillionaire and one guy said he doesn't mind living in a

00:27:26.000 society where uh someone who is sending rockets into space and will put people on mars and is

00:27:32.740 building robots that that's the guy to become a trillionaire he sort of feels like yeah that's

00:27:38.680 it ought to be i mean what's the alternative some saudi prince some tyrant or dictator i mean who

00:27:46.600 would you rather have as the first trillionaire in the world it's sort of fitting and i think it's

00:27:51.960 i think he's right that's our show for the day until next time on behalf of all of us here at

00:27:57.720 at Rubber World Headquarters to you at home.

00:27:59.500 Good night, and keep fighting for freedom.
