Rebel News Podcast - It's the 75th anniversary of D-Day. What would those men say about us now？

00:00:00.000 Hello, Rebels. Today I talk about D-Day. It's the 75th anniversary. You know, there's this

00:00:05.600 crazy clip in there of Julie Payette, the Governor General. I won't tell you what she

00:01:04.980 You're listening to a Rebel Media podcast.

00:01:08.240 Tonight, it's the 75th anniversary of D-Day. What would those men say about us now? It's

00:01:14.680 June 6th, and you're watching The Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:18.980 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:22.680 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:26.760 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's

00:01:31.160 my bloody right to do so.

00:01:38.040 D-Day was on June 6th, 1944, the greatest invasion in history when the Allies landed in Normandy,

00:01:45.380 the coast of France, to drive Hitler's army out and to begin the liberation of Europe from 0.94

00:01:50.540 the west, as the Soviet Red Army was doing from the east. Donald Trump was in Normandy representing

00:01:57.520 America on this anniversary, and Justin Trudeau was there, too, biting his tongue, no doubt,

00:02:03.780 representing Canada. All that toxic masculinity, all that male privilege, all those guns. He managed

00:02:10.020 to keep his mouth shut for the most part, which is the best we can hope for. Maybe while he's there

00:02:14.580 learning about the Nazis, he'll reconsider calling Canada a country of genociders, as he did this

00:02:21.880 past week. He's a liar, of course, a defamer. We were a country that helped stop the great 1.00

00:02:26.960 genocide, the Holocaust. Canada had our own invasion beach on Normandy to liberate Europe. 0.75

00:02:32.980 Our beach was called Juno Beach. We were punching well above our weight. Did you know that when the

00:02:37.540 Second World War ended, Canada had one of the largest navies in the world, I've heard it called

00:02:41.940 the third largest or the fifth largest, one of the largest air forces in the world. That's what we were

00:02:48.260 during the greatest generation. That's not to say Canada didn't embarrass ourselves over there

00:02:55.260 today. Julie Payette, the former astronaut, space cadet, who has become a bizarre and reclusive

00:03:02.820 governor general. She had this to say.

00:03:06.400 Why? Because conflict is the result of our collective failure. It is when we fail to get along.

00:03:17.620 It is when somewhere, somehow, we didn't find a place where we can agree. But I flew with Germans, 0.97

00:03:29.220 Japanese, Belgium, people from the United States, people from Russia, people from Canada. And we work

00:03:38.560 together in space. And it's not the only place where we work together. We work together in space for the

00:03:44.280 advancement of knowledge, and to prepare ourselves for the future together. If we can do it there,

00:03:52.840 we can do it anywhere. 0.99

00:03:56.960 That's not just stupid. We expect stupid from our politicians these days. That's immoral. 1.00

00:04:00.880 That's insulting. Imagine telling surviving soldiers, the few veterans still with us, obviously,

00:04:05.360 in their 90s. That it was collective failure. That the Second World War was a failure on our part,

00:04:13.040 too. That there was no right and wrong. We just didn't all get along. You know, we didn't meet

00:04:17.660 Hitler in the middle. What did she say? We didn't see eye to eye with him. We didn't work with Hitler 0.78

00:04:23.320 to advance our common interests. I mean, if they had just put Hitler and Churchill in a space station 0.91

00:04:29.020 together, they could have worked it all out, right? I mean, look, she was an astronaut working with

00:04:33.320 other astronauts. So she could do it. Like Trudeau, she's always the hero in her own stories.

00:04:39.300 She couldn't just shut up about herself and praise the veterans. I mean, come on, you lazy, 0.54

00:04:45.040 small-minded veterans. If Julie Payette can work with elite astronauts for a few days in space, 1.00

00:04:52.940 surely you stupid vets could have done better. I mean, surely you could have worked it out. 1.00

00:04:56.540 met Hitler in the middle. You were a failure. I think that's what she said. I think that was 1.00

00:05:03.620 really her message. At first, I thought, I wonder if anyone vetted those insane remarks. But then I

00:05:08.260 thought, of course, if they had been vetted, that would have 100% fit with Trudeau's communication

00:05:13.960 strategy. He really doesn't have much time for soldiers, let alone veterans. And he comes by it

00:05:18.340 naturally. Pierre Trudeau obviously refused to serve in the Second World War. He was born in 1919,

00:05:24.520 which means he would have been 20 when the war started, 26 when it ended. That's exactly

00:05:29.480 military age, by the way. More than 1 million Canadians did serve in uniform in that war.

00:05:35.980 And back then, our total national population was only about 11 million.

00:05:40.620 So 10% of Canadians served in uniform. 42,000 Canadians were killed. 55,000 were wounded.

00:05:47.360 It was such a total national effort. It was so disproportionate. Every single home in the

00:05:52.740 country had some commitment to the war, either because someone from that household was serving

00:05:57.920 as a soldier, or working in a factory, or on a farm, to the war effort. And this one child of

00:06:02.460 privilege, Pierre Trudeau, of military age, was roaring around Montreal on a motorcycle,

00:06:08.140 wearing a German helmet. Did you know that's what he did instead of fight?

00:06:10.820 So you know where Justin Trudeau gets it from. Speaking of Justin Trudeau, here's a story from

00:06:16.200 just yesterday. Homeless veteran living in her van draws attention to national crisis. Let me read

00:06:22.580 a little bit. During a week when world leaders gather on the shores of France to recognize the

00:06:27.460 sacrifice of D-Day, many veterans here at home are undertaking a desperate struggle.

00:06:32.280 They are former soldiers with no place to live. It's an urgent national problem. I'll read a little

00:06:38.100 more. Diane Claveau is 56 years old, educated, and military trained. She is also homeless, living in 0.61

00:06:44.000 her van in the parking lot of a big box store on the list for subsidized housing and on the hunt for

00:06:48.720 a job. I'm just going to read one more line to you. According to recent statistics, Claveau is one of

00:06:55.260 an estimated 3,000 to 5,000 veterans across Canada who are homeless. It's a crisis, and many organizations

00:07:01.640 say it's a national disgrace. I would say this is one of the big shames of Canada, says Susan Lay,

00:07:06.580 the executive director of Multi-Faith Housing Initiative. We have failed these people.

00:07:12.460 Well, look, as Trudeau would say, I mean, she's just asking for more than we can give. 0.67

00:07:17.980 I mean, if she were smart, duh, she'd go to the United States and just come across the border 1.00

00:07:23.640 illegally, like close to 100,000 fake refugees have done. Look, the RCMP will carry their bags for 1.00

00:07:31.080 them. File some bogus human rights complaint, refugee application, get free housing, get free 0.99

00:07:37.800 everything. Here in Toronto, the government has literally rented out the entire Radisson Toronto

00:07:43.080 East hotel, just giving free hotel rooms, plus, of course, free housekeeping services, because why not?

00:07:48.460 God forbid they should have to make their own beds just to fake foreign scammers. But Diane Claveau, 1.00

00:07:54.200 a veteran? Yuck. She's probably just some alt-right white supremacist Islamophobe. I mean, 1.00

00:08:01.420 she obviously likes guns if she was in the army. Yuck, right? What a world we're in. It's a strange

00:08:07.600 world. For some reason, Angela Merkel was at the D-Day ceremonies, too, standing with the allies. I'm not

00:08:14.780 sure what to make of that. I mean, I like Germany and Germans well enough. And maybe it's a sign of 1.00

00:08:19.020 healing to have them there. So I'd say thumbs up, I guess. And I know everybody is still hunting for

00:08:27.260 Russian collusion in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, even though Robert Mueller's exhaustive

00:08:33.000 two-year investigation found no evidence of it. And obviously, the Russians weren't part of D-Day.

00:08:37.680 They were invading Germany from the East. But it is a fact that they were a critical factor in the

00:08:42.280 defeat of Hitler. I despise Stalin as much as I despise Hitler. Communism actually killed more people

00:08:48.420 in the 20th century than Nazism did. Of course, Nazism came for the Jews. So I have a special hate for 0.99

00:08:54.400 Hitler. But Stalin was as bad. And there are reasons to be wary of Putin today. But it is a fact that

00:09:02.580 Russia pushed more young men into the meat grinder of the Second World War than all other countries 0.98

00:09:11.980 combined. 10 million war dead. I'm just talking about those in uniform. I'm not counting

00:09:18.320 innumerable civilians in leveled cities like Stalingrad. Nearly three-quarters of Soviet boys born in 1923

00:09:28.820 did not live to survive to 1946. Can you imagine that? If you were born in 1923 in the Soviet Union,

00:09:39.540 if you were a male, three-quarters of you would be dead before you turned 23. That's the price they paid. 0.76

00:09:50.000 But here's my question. What would our own Canadian war dead, the 42,000 of them, what would they say

00:09:56.240 about us today? What would they say about our disgracing and denial of our history? What would they

00:10:03.980 say about us tearing down statues of Sir John A. Macdonald? What would they say about just this

00:10:11.260 week? The government, giddy to censor. Nazi style. Yeah, sorry, it's Nazi style. Any wrong think on the

00:10:17.880 internet. What would they say about our disgraceful treatment of our Canadian veterans, but our prime

00:10:22.660 minister's love affair with convicted terrorists like Omar Khadar, seen here receiving a hero's welcome

00:10:27.940 on Trudeau's CBC State Broadcast? Look at that. They have the disco lights on. They have bubbly wine,

00:10:34.740 applause. Look at him. He's a star. I love you. Smiling. What would our veterans say about us now if they saw us?

00:10:45.260 But it's not just Trudeau. It's everything. It's the media, as we just saw. It's the schools. It's the

00:10:50.180 culture, not just anti-war and not just anti-soldier, but positively supportive of our enemies. Just as I

00:10:56.980 wrote this for today, I thought, I bet that literally most Canadians under the age of 40

00:11:02.580 have no idea about D-Day or even World War II. Don't laugh. We asked the other day a dozen Canadians 0.81

00:11:09.060 who our first prime minister was while holding up a $10 bill with a picture of him on it.

00:11:16.660 They had no idea. Who was the first prime minister of Canada? I'm not sure.

00:11:22.880 $10, you can figure it out. I'm not sure. No idea? No idea. Sorry.

00:11:26.980 Who was the first prime minister of Canada?

00:11:29.500 Never thought I was. Um...

00:11:32.580 Maybe $10 if you can figure it out. Oh my God. Um...

00:11:36.980 Oh my God. I don't know. Oh my God.

00:11:42.100 This is pathetic. I don't think I can. You don't know? 0.99

00:11:45.520 Honestly, I don't think I can. No idea? No. Can't.

00:11:48.080 Who was Canada's first prime minister?

00:11:49.800 Yeah, that went on for quite a while. If they don't know who our first prime minister was,

00:11:57.920 they surely don't know who the Fuhrer of Germany was in the Second World War. I've asked our team

00:12:02.980 to go out and do streeters today in Toronto to prove me wrong, just to ask man on the street,

00:12:09.040 when was World War II? Whose side were we on? Who won World War II? David's out there today. I'll

00:12:16.920 show you the video when he comes back. I'm not optimistic. Those are my thoughts today. It feels

00:12:23.840 a bit like it feels for me every year on Remembrance Day. I just don't believe the folks who once a year

00:12:31.440 pretend they care about our troops, or today, those who pretend they care about our liberties

00:12:36.380 fought for by those troops 75 years ago. They just don't. I think Donald Trump is a genuine exception.

00:12:43.120 I think the rest of the so-called leaders in Normandy today, I think they really couldn't

00:12:47.900 care less. Stay with us for a moment.

00:13:04.240 Hey, welcome back. Let me show you a video that was put out by the Foreign Office of the

00:13:09.540 United Kingdom. This is a real government, allegedly run by a Conservative Party. Check

00:13:15.340 out this video that they put online yesterday. Climate change is probably the greatest threat

00:13:21.180 we face this century. It's affecting the poorest and most vulnerable countries already in a massive

00:13:28.120 way, but it will affect all of us across the world. We're seeing increasing extreme weather.

00:13:34.460 We're seeing droughts, floods, storms, sea rise. But the most terrifying thing is that the projection

00:13:44.540 of just how much worse this will get if we don't reduce emissions rapidly. The second big worry is

00:13:51.960 the way that all of these impacts will all start to multiply and reinforce each other. And we face huge

00:13:59.200 problems with our food security, with forced migration, with increased conflict, and many other aspects

00:14:06.200 of unmanaged climate change.

00:14:08.200 There you have it. Theresa May's government says the greatest threat of this century is global warming. 0.99

00:14:21.200 Global warming. It's more than the threat of terrorism or war. And they say this on the eve, they said this

00:14:28.040 on the eve of D-Day. Maybe they think global warming is a worse peril than, of course, the Nazi menace and 0.82

00:14:35.700 World War II. I bet they would say they do. Well, my favorite response to this was just two letters long.

00:14:43.200 And it came from our friend Patrick Moore, the co-founder of Greenpeace, who has since then gone

00:14:48.200 on to become what he calls the sensible environmentalist. And he says simply, BS.

00:14:56.200 Well, Patrick Moore joins us now via Skype. Welcome back to the program. It's great to see you again.

00:15:02.200 There's a hundred things you could say in response to that claim by the UK, but I think BS sums it up with

00:15:09.200 about as much dignity as they deserve. That's my thoughts.

00:15:14.200 Ezra, these people are living in a complete fantasy world and the Conservatives in Britain have gone bonkers.

00:15:21.200 I mean, they've declared a climate emergency when, like, are people fleeing from their homes in panic

00:15:27.200 at this present moment? No, there is no climate emergency and there isn't going to be a climate emergency.

00:15:34.200 But there will be extreme weather, as there always has been since, like, before the time of Christ.

00:15:41.200 So we've been in extreme weather in this world since the beginning of the world.

00:15:47.200 I mean, it was a lot worse back in the days when volcanoes were erupting every five minutes,

00:15:52.200 when the Earth was much hotter than it is now. But these people started out with global warming.

00:15:58.200 The idea being that carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels would cause the Earth to heat up and make it intolerable for life.

00:16:07.200 Well, that didn't happen. So they changed it to climate change. Now it could be anything.

00:16:13.200 Cooling, warming, floods, drought, tornadoes, hurricanes, you name it.

00:16:18.200 But if you said, well, it was awfully cold last winter, they would say, oh, no, that's just weather.

00:16:25.200 Don't confuse the climate with weather. What do they talk about now?

00:16:29.200 All they talk about is extreme weather because they've lost the plot on the whole rest of it.

00:16:35.200 And even the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which is supposed to be the United Nations foremost body on the whole subject of climate change,

00:16:45.200 says there are no trends in extreme weather, not in hurricanes, not in tornadoes, not in drought, not in floods, to name a few.

00:16:55.200 So if the IPCC says that and the crazies are just inventing the idea that the extreme weather is getting worse,

00:17:05.200 then they are in their own little fantasy world bubble.

00:17:08.200 There is no actual hard data to indicate that any extreme weather events are increasing.

00:17:15.200 Now it becomes a doomsday prediction.

00:17:18.200 In other words, even if extreme weather isn't increasing now, it most certainly will begin to increase in the future.

00:17:27.200 And it becomes like any other doomsday prediction, unprovable, for one thing, because it hasn't happened yet.

00:17:34.200 And more than likely, not true, because how many doomsday predictions have actually come true?

00:17:41.200 I count zero.

00:17:43.200 Yeah.

00:17:44.200 Well, there was an implication in that video from the UK that if we do some, if we make some political choice, the weather will change.

00:17:54.200 It wasn't very practical in Canada.

00:17:56.200 They're all saying if we had a carbon tax, there wouldn't be forest fires.

00:18:00.200 I think generally politicians don't go full doomsday.

00:18:05.200 They don't say they don't make the absolute direct link between if you pay this tax, there will no longer be cold winters, hot summers, hurricanes, tornadoes, forest fires.

00:18:18.200 In Canada, they've been dipping their toe into that, actually implying that if we don't have a carbon tax, we'll have bad weather.

00:18:25.200 If we do have a carbon tax, there won't be bad weather as if it's an on off switch.

00:18:29.200 But maybe you can tell me this, Patrick, is there any science from the UN IPCC, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, that suggests that if we actually do all these policy prescriptions, if we actually do bring in carbon taxes and even ban cars, that's not actually going to change the global climate.

00:18:52.200 I mean, even the activists of the UN don't say put in a tax, change the climate, do they?

00:18:59.200 Well, yes, they're implying that.

00:19:02.200 They're saying if we quit using fossil fuels, everything will be fine, except for the fact that at least 80% of the global population will be dead.

00:19:10.200 And, you know, it makes me laugh when people say in the States, like when the Green New Deal came out, they said, oh, no, that'll cost three million jobs.

00:19:19.200 No, it won't. It'll cost 200 million lives.

00:19:22.200 How do they think they're going to get the food into the cities without trucks?

00:19:26.200 And how do they think they're going to grow the food without tractors run on oil?

00:19:31.200 They're going to have battery powered tractors and battery powered 40 ton trucks delivering food into the city every day.

00:19:38.200 Thousands of trucks like into New York and Chicago and Los Angeles.

00:19:43.200 How do they think the food gets to the supermarkets?

00:19:46.200 So just that one point, if they stopped fossil fuels today, people would begin to die in the centers of the cities and it would go outward towards the edge.

00:19:57.200 As people captured any food that was trying to get into the city, they'd kill the people who were bringing the food into the city so they could have the food. 0.98

00:20:04.200 I mean, it's very clear this would be a global catastrophe of absolutely ridiculously stupid proportions. 0.98

00:20:12.200 And no one would wish this on the human race. 0.99

00:20:15.200 It would be a lot better to get one degree warmer.

00:20:18.200 I assure you of that.

00:20:20.200 And then the other factor is, if we stopped using fossil fuels overnight, there wouldn't be a tree left on this planet within a few years.

00:20:29.200 Because that would be the only fuel left that you could use to heat your home and all the other things we do with energy.

00:20:36.200 It is so ridiculous that it isn't really worth talking about. 0.93

00:20:41.200 And we have to ignore these people. 0.77

00:20:44.200 We have to ignore these people and we have to build pipelines and we have to get the oil from Alberta to Eastern Canada, where for some reason up till now they seem to think it's better to bring it from Nigeria, Venezuela and Saudi Arabia, all with stellar human rights records.

00:21:01.200 You know, I mean, can you believe that they think Alberta oil is somehow worse than oil from those three countries?

00:21:10.200 I never heard of anything so crazy.

00:21:12.200 And they use the word dirty.

00:21:14.200 Our oil is dirty.

00:21:15.200 Where do they think we grow all our food?

00:21:17.200 In dirt.

00:21:18.200 Dirt is dirty. 0.95

00:21:20.200 But as in dirty, rotten scoundrel, it's a swear word. 0.99

00:21:23.200 Right. 0.97

00:21:24.200 So the word dirty is being used not to describe that it's dirty as in dirt on your pants. 0.99

00:21:29.200 They're talking about dirty as in dirty, rotten scoundrel. 0.97

00:21:33.200 In other words, somehow corrupt or evil, horrible, a word like that. 0.97

00:21:39.200 And so they're just completely confusing everybody by using these words.

00:21:43.200 And now, of course, it's not a climate change anymore.

00:21:45.200 It's a climate crisis.

00:21:47.200 It's a climate catastrophe.

00:21:48.200 It's climate disruption.

00:21:50.200 It's a climate emergency.

00:21:51.200 And it is an existential threat to the existence of mankind.

00:21:56.200 And David Suzuki is talking about human extinction when the population is larger than it ever has been in the history of the human species.

00:22:05.200 You know, you provide a good reality check there on what would actually happen if we actually followed the prescription of, for example, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the New York Congresswoman, who talks about the Green New Deal.

00:22:18.200 But can I, I mean, that was an excellent answer and a good reminder of what reality is like, how big cities in our industrial society is based on fossil fuel.

00:22:28.200 The size of the cities we have would be impossible without oil and gas.

00:22:32.200 But I want to try again on my earlier question, just because I actually seem to recall that the UN's best case scenario, if we implemented all of their advice, the globe would still very, very slowly, very gently warm anyways,

00:22:55.200 because it has been very slowly, very gently warming for thousands of years as we emerge out of the last great ice age.

00:23:03.200 So the Earth, yes, it is very slowly, very gradually warming, as thank goodness it has, because, you know, I'd be under a mile of ice if it was as it was 15,000 years ago.

00:23:16.200 So I guess what I'm saying is even if we did do the Green New Deal, isn't the general trend for very slight warming anyways?

00:23:26.200 Am I wrong on my science there?

00:23:29.200 You're not wrong, Ezra. The general trend since about 1700 has been a slight warming of about 1.1 degrees Celsius globally,

00:23:38.200 which is insignificant compared to the changes that have occurred in Earth's past while life flourished.

00:23:44.200 Like the last ice age was 350 million years ago.

00:23:48.200 This one, which started 2.5 million years ago, may last another 80 million years.

00:23:54.200 We just happen to be lucky to be in an interglacial period now where it's a few degrees warmer than it was when we had two miles of ice over Toronto and three kilometers of ice over Montreal.

00:24:06.200 So, yes, this is a fortunate time, and it has been, fortunately, since the little ice age ended 300 years ago, been warming slightly.

00:24:16.200 But the UN and all of these so-called climate scientists are basing their entire theory on carbon dioxide as if that is the only control knob of global temperature.

00:24:28.200 And they are wrong because the sun is actually the main controller of global temperature.

00:24:34.200 And that is why the ice ages have come and gone. The glaciations have come and gone.

00:24:39.200 We don't really know why the Earth plunged into a global ice age five million years ago.

00:24:44.200 And then they say 2.5 million, but it really started getting really cold about five million years ago.

00:24:51.200 And that's when the Arctic islands froze up in Canada.

00:24:54.200 They used to be forested with camels in them five million years ago.

00:24:58.200 And there's pictures of it. You can look it up on the Internet.

00:25:01.200 So we are living in one of the coldest periods in the history of the Earth now.

00:25:06.200 We are also living in one of the lowest carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere in the history of the Earth.

00:25:13.200 Even with us putting it back up to 400 ppm, it's still lower than it has been through almost the entire Earth's history.

00:25:22.200 So those are the facts.

00:25:25.200 I was shocked to learn that our Arctic used to have forests.

00:25:29.200 And in fact, you can still see remnants, the petrified forests.

00:25:32.200 It's unbelievable because it's uninhabitable up there right now.

00:25:36.200 Permafrost, it's permanently frozen 18 inches below the surface. Nothing grows.

00:25:42.200 I think people are stunned to learn that there were once mighty forests up there.

00:25:47.200 Well, here I am, Ezra, in Comox on Vancouver Island,

00:25:51.200 just a little more than halfway to the North Pole from the equator.

00:25:55.200 And the mountains here are still covered in snow on top.

00:25:59.200 And it's nearly the June solstice, nearly the summer.

00:26:03.200 So we are on a cold planet compared to what it's been all through the past.

00:26:08.200 But the really interesting thing is that Valentina Zarkova,

00:26:14.200 a Ukrainian scientist in about, she's about 70.

00:26:19.200 She's now in Britain at a university, Northumbria.

00:26:23.200 And she has a hypothesis, which is now becoming widely understood within the climate change community,

00:26:30.200 that the sun's magnetosphere, not the light from the sun.

00:26:34.200 We think the main effect of the sun is the heat from the light that hits the Earth.

00:26:39.200 But actually, the sun also has a magnetic dynamo inside it, a magnetic field around it.

00:26:46.200 And next year, we enter into a grand global minimum, a grand solar minimum, sorry,

00:26:54.200 where the sun will basically go to sleep in terms of its magnetosphere.

00:26:59.200 And this is now understood very clearly.

00:27:02.200 They can model it.

00:27:04.200 And it seems to coincide very neatly with the Roman warm period, the medieval warm period,

00:27:10.200 and the modern warm period, and the cold periods that intervene between them.

00:27:15.200 So we're going to see very quickly now, beginning next year,

00:27:19.200 and I think the last two winters have been a bit of a harbinger of what's to come,

00:27:24.200 if the Earth starts to cool to a significant extent over the next five years,

00:27:30.200 it's going to blow this whole CO2 thing out of the water, thank goodness.

00:27:34.200 I don't want it to get colder, because the Earth would be a better place,

00:27:37.200 especially the Canadian Earth would be a better place if it was a bit warmer

00:27:42.200 and we could grow food a little further north than only a couple of hundred miles from the US border.

00:27:47.200 But we may be entering a cooling period now based on this magnetosphere hypothesis,

00:27:55.200 which I don't ever predict the future, because I know I don't have a crystal ball,

00:28:00.200 that it is a mythical object, and the climate is a very complex thing.

00:28:04.200 But this is a very compelling theory that has been put forward

00:28:07.200 and is now being studied by people all around the world.

00:28:10.200 The Russians have always thought the sun was the main driver of climate change,

00:28:16.200 and Valentina Zarkova's hypothesis is now beginning to bear that fact out.

00:28:22.200 All right, well, I'll have to read up on Valentina Zarkova.

00:28:26.200 I have not heard that name before, but I appreciate the information.

00:28:29.200 I've got to tell you though, as we said at the beginning of our conversation,

00:28:32.200 climate crisis, climate breakdown, climate catastrophe, all the new language of the left,

00:28:39.200 that will accommodate the cooling that this magnetic theory suggests.

00:28:45.200 So if it does indeed cool the Earth over the years ahead,

00:28:49.200 they will just roll out that part of their theory and say,

00:28:52.200 you see, we still need taxes and regulations,

00:28:55.200 because like we said, it's climate chaos, now it's cold again.

00:28:59.200 I think that these people have an unfalsifiable cosmic theory that no matter what happens,

00:29:07.200 the answer is always the same.

00:29:09.200 Give us more money, give us more power.

00:29:11.200 And although I think your prediction may, or your hypothesis may well come true,

00:29:16.200 I don't think it's going to stop the hucksters on the other side.

00:29:19.200 No, I actually believe it will.

00:29:23.200 They will be marginalized to the extreme,

00:29:25.200 because the whole climate warming thing is based on carbon dioxide and fossil fuels.

00:29:30.200 There's no way there is any postulate that could make fossil fuels cause global cooling,

00:29:36.200 simply impossible.

00:29:38.200 And so the real scientists will recognize that,

00:29:42.200 and will recognize that if the Earth is cooling with ever increasing CO2 emissions,

00:29:48.200 because they will continue to increase into the future.

00:29:51.200 I mean, I made a 100,000 US dollar bet after the Paris Accord was signed in 2015,

00:29:57.200 that CO2 emissions would be higher in 2025 than they were in 2015.

00:30:02.200 And not one warmest believer in Paris would take my bet. 0.99

00:30:06.200 In other words, they don't believe their own garbage. 0.98

00:30:09.200 They don't believe what they are actually saying is true, 0.99

00:30:12.200 that Paris will actually accomplish anything, and it won't.

00:30:15.200 And that's why Canada should pull out of it.

00:30:18.200 And there's only one political leader in this country who says he will pull out of it.

00:30:24.200 But thankfully, at least we have the Conservatives now saying they'll build a national energy corridor,

00:30:31.200 and that maybe that means Energy East,

00:30:34.200 and maybe that means instead of buying oil from Venezuela, Nigeria, and Saudi Arabia,

00:30:39.200 the main population of our country can be using Canadian oil.

00:30:43.200 The fact that Ontario and Quebec reject Alberta oil is the reason why a large majority of Albertans

00:30:50.200 favor separation if this doesn't get resolved properly very soon.

00:30:54.200 And I would support that too.

00:30:56.200 I've been a Western alienated person all my life, knowing that Ontario and Quebec,

00:31:02.200 if they agree on something, makes the rest of us chop liver.

00:31:05.200 Someone said it very succinctly recently,

00:31:07.200 Canada is a road from Ottawa to Montreal and back again.

00:31:11.200 And that is about the description of this country at this point,

00:31:14.200 and that's got to be resolved somehow.

00:31:16.200 Wow.

00:31:17.200 Well, it's so great to catch up with you.

00:31:19.200 Not only do I learn science, but I get a good dose of real politics from you too.

00:31:25.200 It's great to see you again.

00:31:27.200 Before we let you go, Dr. Moore, is there anything you'd like to tell us about?

00:31:31.200 You have so many interesting projects on the go,

00:31:34.200 whether it's books or, of course, your Golden Rice project.

00:31:38.200 What are you working on these days that I'm sure our viewers are curious?

00:31:42.200 Tell us what's on your radar screen personally.

00:31:45.200 Well, the proudest thing that's happened to me lately and the most important for a long time

00:31:50.200 is I've been elected by the board of directors of the CO2 coalition to be their chairman.

00:31:56.200 And so I'm now the chairman of a group of scientists and engineers who are top in their field.

00:32:02.200 I mean, William Happer, for example, Emeritus Physics Princeton,

00:32:07.200 invented laser beams and is a top scientist in this world,

00:32:12.200 is now in the White House working on the climate change issue to try to deal with this idea

00:32:18.200 that is the greatest threat to the national security of the United States,

00:32:22.200 which is complete balderdash.

00:32:23.200 Like, people in the military are worried about six inches of sea level rise being a threat to themselves.

00:32:30.200 Have they gone soft or what, you know?

00:32:32.200 And so we have Richard Linson as well, who is one of the top.

00:32:36.200 He's MIT Emeritus Physics.

00:32:38.200 And they've made me their chairman.

00:32:40.200 So they've recognized that my thinking on this subject, both in terms of CO2 being a huge benefit to the world,

00:32:47.200 and the CO2 coalition's purpose is to educate people into the fact that CO2 is the main building block of all life on Earth.

00:32:56.200 There is no evidence that it is causing abnormal warming of the Earth's climate.

00:33:01.200 It may well be a little bit of the reason why the Earth has warmed, but there is no actual hard evidence of that.

00:33:07.200 And even if it were a little bit of why the Earth is warm, that would be positive in itself because the Earth is cold now and CO2 is low.

00:33:15.200 So more CO2 is a good thing for greening this planet, increasing our food crop production, increasing the growth of forests.

00:33:24.200 And at the same time, I'm able to work with a lot more strength now because of the backing I have from this organization.

00:33:35.200 So I'm really pleased with that role.

00:33:38.200 And I'm proud that as a Canadian, I've been made the chair of a U.S.-based, Washington, D.C.-based science organization

00:33:46.200 that is right in the center of this whole discussion and is willing to push back hard against this ridiculous notion

00:33:53.200 that CO2 is some kind of poison or pollution when, in fact, it is the main food for all life on this planet, always has been, always will be.

00:34:02.200 Well, listen, this has just been great.

00:34:05.200 I've learned so many things in the last 10 minutes, and I did not know about this CO2 coalition,

00:34:11.200 let alone the fact that you're chairing it.

00:34:13.200 And the fact that it is headquartered in Washington, D.C. is very important because, of course,

00:34:17.200 the U.S. economy and U.S. policy on the environment is, of course, the most important in the world, especially, frankly,

00:34:24.200 it's probably more important to us here than Justin Trudeau's own views because America sets so much of the world's path.

00:34:31.200 I'm delighted to learn all these things from you.

00:34:33.200 And let us not let so much time pass again before we talk again.

00:34:37.200 It's great to catch up with you.

00:34:38.200 Dr. Moore, thanks for being with us today.

00:34:41.200 Thank you, Ezra.

00:34:42.200 It's always good to be with you in any time.

00:34:45.200 Well, we'll take you up on that.

00:34:46.200 That's wonderful.

00:34:47.200 Thanks so much.

00:34:48.200 Well, that's our friend, Dr. Patrick Moore, the co-founder of Greenpeace, who, of course, 0.91

00:34:53.200 broke ranks with them over their junk science.

00:34:55.200 And as you can see, he is a master of the science of many things in the ecology, including global warming.

00:35:02.200 We'll keep an eye on his CO2 coalition now that we are aware he's chairing it.

00:35:07.200 Stay with us.

00:35:08.200 Go ahead on The Rebel.

00:35:19.200 Hey, welcome back to my monologue yesterday about the Liberal Party going from the party of loving Canada to the party of hating it.

00:35:25.200 Robert writes,

00:35:26.200 Trudeau has spent so much time pandering to a plethora of special interest groups who have various grievances against Canada

00:35:33.200 that he has lost sight of what once made Canada great.

00:35:36.200 Look, there's still a lot of greatness here.

00:35:38.200 And we actually don't suffer from some of the same structural problems the United States has.

00:35:44.200 Race is a perfect example. 1.00

00:35:46.200 I'm not saying we're perfect at all.

00:35:48.200 But we did not have slavery in Canada.

00:35:52.200 And we didn't have the bloodiest war in American history.

00:35:55.200 It was not the Second World War.

00:35:57.200 It was not the Vietnam War.

00:35:58.200 It was not the Revolutionary War.

00:36:00.200 It was their Civil War.

00:36:01.200 We didn't go through that in Canada.

00:36:04.200 More recently, on an economic point of view, we didn't go through the bank meltdown.

00:36:09.200 No major Canadian bank fell like they did in the United States in 2008.

00:36:14.200 We have so much good fortune in Canada.

00:36:16.200 Of course, the best fortune we have is that the United States is our neighbor, giving us access to the world's biggest market and defending us on their dime.

00:36:24.200 There's a lot of greatness here.

00:36:26.200 But Trudeau, all he can see is the flaws, but it's not flaws in himself.

00:36:30.200 He's like that pickup artist.

00:36:32.200 I don't know if you understood that illusion.

00:36:34.200 These pickup artists are sort of oleaginous guys who say, here's how you get a date.

00:36:39.200 Here's how you get a date.

00:36:40.200 And a lot of it's BS, but if there's anything there, it's psychological manipulation.

00:36:45.200 It's basically how to trick people, how to manipulate people.

00:36:49.200 I think Trudeau, that's how he thinks.

00:36:50.200 He reminds me of other male feminists like Gian Gomeschi that way.

00:36:54.200 And I think he's looking at Canadian voters the same way he has looked at young women for 40 years, 30 years, which is how can I psychologically manipulate them?

00:37:04.200 And with women, it's knock them down a bit to reduce their confidence and then go in for the kill. 1.00

00:37:11.200 And with Canadian voters, it's knock them down a bit to reduce their confidence and go in for the kill.

00:37:16.200 Except for when you're nagging an entire population, you don't say, oh, who did your hair today?

00:37:24.200 Or, oh, you didn't do your makeup, did you? 0.98

00:37:26.200 It's, oh, boy, you guys are a little racist. 0.99

00:37:30.200 You're a little genocide-ish. 1.00

00:37:32.200 You guys are Islamophobic. 1.00

00:37:34.200 I think you guys are sexist. 0.99

00:37:35.200 I think you guys, that's what he's doing.

00:37:38.200 That's what he's doing. 1.00

00:37:39.200 He's a predator. 0.83

00:37:41.200 I just hope people see through it.

00:37:43.200 But I think that like some really lonely women, there are some really weak-willed voters out there who would say, yeah, he's right. 0.82

00:37:51.200 That's my theory.

00:37:52.200 What do you think?

00:37:53.200 Stephen writes, if Trudeau gets reelected, what disasters will he unleash on Canada?

00:37:58.200 Well, we can see a taste of them.

00:38:01.200 He's actually back and loading a lot of his real plans.

00:38:05.200 Censorship seems to be a huge part of it, which I find really creepy.

00:38:10.200 But I'd say a saving grace is there was a general incompetence with Justin Trudeau's first term as prime minister.

00:38:21.200 He didn't have any people who were actual executives, and by that I mean who have executed things, who were doers.

00:38:28.200 I mean, Stephen Harper, some of his cabinet appointees usually had previous experience doing that same job on a provincial level.

00:38:36.200 For example, I remember his first cabinet.

00:38:39.200 Tony Clement had been a cabinet minister in the government of Mike Harris.

00:38:43.200 So Stephen Harper could trust him to be a cabinet minister federally.

00:38:46.200 Jim Flaherty, same thing.

00:38:48.200 He went with experience.

00:38:51.200 He went with people who had run things before.

00:38:54.200 They may have had other flaws, but they were actually action oriented.

00:38:59.200 Can you name for me a single cabinet minister in Trudeau's cabinet who knew how to do anything other than, you know, make some PR statements and hand out some grants?

00:39:10.200 If you look at the second raiders in his cabinet who, yeah, they check all the gender and ethnic boxes, check, check, check. 0.97

00:39:18.200 But none of them actually did anything before politics.

00:39:22.200 I mean, Seamus O'Regan, as he was on TV, Mariam Monsef, I don't even know what she did other than be a fraudulent refugee applicant. 0.99

00:39:31.200 His whole crime, Catherine McKenna, a shouty social justice warrior, UN lawyer.

00:39:37.200 I can't think of anyone who gets less done.

00:39:40.200 So I guess a saving grace is Justin Trudeau actually accomplished relatively few things just through incompetence.

00:39:51.200 Is that the word?

00:39:52.200 On my conversation with Joel Pollack, Paul writes,

00:39:56.200 Trump supports Brexit, and I don't doubt he'll treat Canada well after October if Canadians are smart enough to turf the liberals.

00:40:03.200 I think you're right.

00:40:05.200 And I think all Justin Trudeau had to do was be quiet.

00:40:09.200 As you and I have discussed before, if you look through Donald Trump's tweets going back almost a decade,

00:40:15.200 it's clear what he cares about, China, Iran.

00:40:19.200 I mean, in terms of foreign affairs, those are the two countries he tweeted about most.

00:40:24.200 He thinks global warming's a scammer.

00:40:26.200 I don't know if you recall, I did a video once where I analyzed his tweets by subject.

00:40:31.200 He has almost nothing to say about Canada in his life.

00:40:35.200 I think he thinks of Canada as sort of a half-brother or something, or like an extended part of the United States.

00:40:43.200 And not in a bad way, he just thinks, oh yeah, those Canadians are good guys.

00:40:46.200 Maybe like he thinks of Samoa or something.

00:40:50.200 I think he never actually thought about us until Trudeau kept flick, flick, flick, flick, flicking his nose.

00:40:59.200 That's not a good thing for a mouse to do to an elephant, don't you agree?

00:41:02.200 My one worry, though, is that Andrew Scheer occasionally indulges in anti-Trump rhetoric just to get a local applause or something.

00:41:10.200 There was some internet-only TV ad that Andrew Scheer made recently where they started with a picture of Trump, not as promised, full of it. 1.00

00:41:22.200 And the camera moves over from Trump to Trudeau, and the gimmick of it is, what a sham, what an idiot. 1.00

00:41:29.200 Oh, haha, you thought we meant Trump, we actually mean Trudeau. 1.00

00:41:32.200 I guess it's clever, but you're relying on an anti-Trump antipathy there.

00:41:36.200 And you hear outbursts from the red side of the conservatives fairly often bashing Trump.

00:41:43.200 I think that conservatives have to shut up about that because they're just pandering.

00:41:48.200 Frankly, Jason Kenney has this problem, too.

00:41:50.200 Only Doug Ford seems to get it.

00:41:52.200 If you want something from the United States, which all of us do, how about pretend to be polite?

00:43:01.200 We'll be right back.
